Nanjing is the same famous furnace as Chongqing, the time in August is the time when the summer heat is raging, the sun shines on the ground and the thorns of white flowers make people dizzy, along with this scorching air is the increasingly rising atmosphere in the city of Nanjing, the various anti-Japanese groups mainly students are active in the streets and alleys, they hold donation boxes to collect donations from passers-by, the streets are crowded, from time to time you can see the citizens gather together to listen to the speeches, there are several cars driving by on the road from time to time, and there are fully armed guards standing on the doors.

It was not easy for the Nanjing Government to convene such a national defense conference, especially in Guangxi, and Li Zongren did not believe that Chiang Kai-shek was determined to fight against Japan, but Li Jishen, who went to Nanjing, Liu Xiang in Sichuan, and He Jian in Hunan, all suggested that he go to Nanjing, and this time Chiang Kai-shek was probably going to war, so Li Zongren rushed to Nanjing on the day of the meeting on 7 August, while Bai Chongxi stayed in Guangxi to look after his family.

Li Jishen arrived in Nanjing at the end of July, and the negotiations in Shanghai did not yield results, Deng Yanda decided to let Li Jishen go to Nanjing to negotiate with Chiang Kai-shek, when Li Jishen arrived in Nanjing, Pingjin had already fallen, and the Japanese army while waiting for the peace of Nanjing, while asking to expand the attack area to Inner Mongolia, asked to attack west along the Pingsui Railway, and the Kwantung Army also put forward a request to control Inner Mongolia.

At the opening of the Nanjing National Defense Conference on 7 August, the Japanese General Staff Headquarters formally approved the attack on Zhangjiakou along the Pingsui Railway. Wei Lihuang led the 14th Army to North China to reinforce Sun Lianzhong near Baoding, and after the 29th Army withdrew from Beiping, the morale plummeted, and the courage at the peak pass was no longer there, and it was not at all vulnerable to a battle. Chiang Kai-shek formulated a plan for the Pingjin counteroffensive, and more than 100 divisions began to move north to North China one after another.

The collapse of the 29th Army weighed heavily on the hearts of the powerful local factions attending the national defense conference. Progress and an unspeakable sense of apprehension permeated the generals attending the meeting. Among them, the generals of the southwest faction were unique, and Liu Xiang was the first to speak among the local powerful factions attending the meeting, strongly advocating the mobilization of the whole country and the implementation of an all-out war of resistance, and Sichuan was willing to provide 300,000 troops, 500,000 strong men, and 10 million stone grain. All the resources in Sichuan can be handed over to the central government.

Liu Xiangdi's generous speech shocked the local powerful factions attending the meeting, and after coming down, Li Zongren and He Jian came to visit. After Liu Xiang arrived in Beijing, he and Zhuang Jihua lived in the guest house of the Central Military Academy. The military academy guest house is not inside the military academy, it is outside the military academy, and it is only separated from the military academy by a wall. To get to Chiang Kai-shek's resthouse, you only need to go through the entire Central Military Academy.

Zhuang Jihua and Li Zongren had a one-sided relationship, and the two sides did not have much contact, but they left a deep impression and good impression on each other; He Jian and him have been famous for each other for a long time, but they have never had the chance to see each other. To tell the truth, when Zhuang Jihua appeared at the Supreme National Defense Conference, except for Li Zongren and Feng Yuxiang, Yan Xishan, He Jian and others were more or less surprised. For more than a year, this yellow-like rise has surpassed many Huangpu teachers.

"The Cultural Revolution, we haven't seen each other for ten years, time flies so fast." Li Zongren sighed before he said anything when they met.

Seeing Li Zongren's deliberate words of joy, Zhuang Jihua was amused in his heart. He didn't know what he was doing today, but he couldn't leave the current situation, so he didn't expose it, but followed his words: "It's been eleven years, and the last time we met was in the fifteenth year of the Republic of China

Li Zongren smiled slightly, without the slightest embarrassment: "Hehe, you were still a small section chief back then, and now you are a prince who presides over the military and political affairs of the three provinces, how can I not be old." ”

"That's a big deal. De Gong's words are serious. Zhuang Jihua glanced at Liu Xiang and almost laughed out loud, Liu Xiang looked at Li Zongren innocently. If there is a little saliva on the corner of his mouth, it is definitely the image of the second fool in the village, Zhuang Jihua couldn't help but smile and said: "How can I have the ability to preside over the military and political affairs of the three provinces, it is Fu Gong who presides over the military and political affairs of Sichuan, Wu Gong who presides over Guizhou, and Mr. Feng who presides over Yunnan. ”

Zhuang Jihua said so much not because he was worried that Li Zongren was sowing discord, Liu Xiang and he had already been combined through the Sichuan Development Company, and others couldn't separate if they wanted to, he just didn't want to leave any tongue, and it would be good to say and not sound good.

Li Zongren snorted, He Jianhe was a little curious, from the moment he entered the door, he felt that Li Zongren seemed to attach great importance to this political rookie, even more than Liu Xiang.

"Cultural Revolution, I've heard of you for a long time, but I didn't know each other," a trace of fine sweat broke out on He Jian's shaved bare head, he slapped the fan twice, and then said: "It's not too late to meet today, I was supposed to consult with Fu Gong, since you are here, then please give me ideas." ”

"Oh, I don't know what's going on, it's uneasy to scratch Chairman He." Zhuang Jihua asked calmly, He Jian looks very thick, his head is shaved clearly, but he has a pair of small eyes, a pair of gold-wire glasses on the bridge of his nose, a stout figure, a very loud voice, and the whole person is a little uncivilized and a little arrogant. But Zhuang Jihua knows that this is just an appearance, there are too many people like this in the Republic of China, Liu Xiang is honest, Li Zongren is loyal, Zhang Xueliang is gentle, Tan Yan is poor and sour, and the dead Zhu Peide is sleek, these princes from all over the country that Zhuang Jihua knows don't seem to have the spirit of a king, but as long as you are not careful, you will definitely be planted in them

"What do you mean, Chairman?" He Jian's straightforwardness startled Zhuang Jihua, and the questions he asked also startled him, the meeting had been held for two days, and they were still calculating what Chiang Kai-shek meant, and they didn't understand what this meeting was about?

"What does Chairman Ho mean?" Zhuang Jihua frowned and asked, and at the same time looked at Li Zongren, he didn't swear in the telegram that he was willing to obey the central government, and even willing to hand over the hard-working arsenal to the central government, how could he be unwilling to "Cultural Revolution, don't get me wrong, what we mean is that the chairman of the committee really wants to resist the war, or just make a show, let us miscellaneous cards fight with the Japanese, and use the hands of the Japanese to destroy us." Li Zongren's smile disappeared and became very serious: "If it is the former, then there is nothing to say, I, Li Zongren, resolutely obey, everything in Guangxi can be handed over to the central government, if it is the latter..." We're not sure, so we'd like to ask. ”

Zhuang Jihua was speechless, now he knew how important Liu Xiang's statement was, he glanced at Liu Xiang gratefully, and then said: "Degong, Chairman He, this time the chairman has no way to retreat, the Japanese have forced us out of the road, and now there is no other way but to resist." The president's speech in Lushan and the recent statement made clearly showed that the central authorities had decided to resist the war. ”

My God, Zhuang Jihua even began to sympathize with Chiang Kai-shek, the country has been eroded to this point, but the powerful factions in various places are always making small calculations, Zhuang Jihua can't help but wonder if they want to bargain.

"Degong, Chairman He, the fall of Pingjin, the Japanese army is looking at North China, the national peril has reached a critical moment, and there is no room for delay, considering the difference in strength between China and Japan, it is not easy for the chairman of the committee to make such a determination. The two of you have a huge influence in the country, and you should become the mainstay of the War of Resistance at this time. ”

Li Zongren heard the faint persuasion in Zhuang Jihua's words, and he smiled indifferently: "Cultural Revolution, I won't hide it from you, we have been fighting for ten years," he said here and shook his head: "We know the power of the chairman, Fu Gong, what do you think?" ”

Liu Xiang laughed and said: "I also have your concerns, but I asked about the Cultural Revolution,"

Zhuang Jihua smiled faintly and bitterly, Wu Ziniu came in, there was a strange expression on his face, and he said, "Sir." Zhuang Jihua turned his head to look at him, and couldn't help asking, "What's wrong?" Can I help you? What's wrong with you? ”

"Director Zhou and Director Deng are here." Wu Ziniu came over and whispered in his ear, Zhuang Jihua frowned, Director Zhou, Director Deng, Director Zhou, Director Deng, Zhuang Jihua quickly searched in his mind for the director surnamed Zhou and the director surnamed Deng.

Li Zongren, He Jian and Liu Xiang listened to their "whispers" with different expressions, and Wu Ziniu's whispers were also quite loud, and the three people who were not far away could hear them clearly.

"It's the ...... of Whampoa."

Zhuang Jihua stood up Teng, and Zhou E came. Chiang Kai-shek also invited representatives of the Red Army to attend the meeting, and the Communist Party sent Zhou Elai, Zhu D, and Ye Jying as representatives to Nanjing to attend this extremely important meeting. In addition to them, Deng Yanda also attended the meeting.

On August 2, Chiang Kai-shek personally negotiated with Li Jishen, and the two sides finally reached an agreement, the Nanjing side canceled the third party, and all the members of the third party returned to the Kuomintang, and the third party gave up the activities of overthrowing the Nanjing government, supported Chiang Kai-shek to become the supreme commander of the country, and participated in the war of resistance under the command of Chiang Kai-shek; Chiang Kai-shek also made concessions, promising to reform politics and release the arrested members of the Third Party, and then the two sides issued a joint declaration, and then Deng Yan arrived in Nanjing, where he was warmly welcomed, especially those students of the third and fourth phases of Whampoa, Chen Cheng did not shy away from being at the station to greet him, but Zhuang Jihua did not go to see him after arriving in Nanjing on the 5th, and Chiang Kai-shek summoned him continuously, so that he had no time to meet anyone at all.

"It's Mr. Zhou Elai and Mr. Deng Yda," Zhuang Jihua stood up and walked towards the door, as if he was the director here, he didn't think that this was Liu Xiang's room, and people must have come to visit Liu Xiang.
