Section 1 The Gaze of an American Journalist V

The sedan car stopped in front, Xiong Shihui jumped down from the car, straightened his clothes, and Za Jihua had already met him at this time, looking at Xiong Shihui while walking, after a long bump, his hair was a little scattered, but his expression was more excited. \.qΞ²V. Com

Xiong Shihui was a veteran of the Kuomintang, who participated in the Xinhai Revolution, the Yuan War, and the Northern Expedition, and was deeply relied on by Chiang Kai-shek, and served as the commander of the Songhu garrison twice.

Xiong Shihui has been working in the Yunnan Army, and once served as the principal of the Yunnan Army Cadre School: During the Northern Expedition, Zhuang Jihua served as the deputy commander of the First Division, and was besieged in Niuxing, but Xiong Shihui served as the party representative of Lai Shihuang's department in the uprising, fighting on the border of Hannan and galloping to the aid of Niuxing from the south.

At the time of the Xi'an Incident, Xiong Shihui was in Jiangxi, serving as the director of Jiangxi Province and the Nanchang camp, Zhuang Jihua was recruited by Song Meiling to Nanjing, reversing the atmosphere of Nanjing's main battle in one fell swoop, Xiong Shihui also frequently telegraphed in Jiangxi, asking for a peaceful solution to ensure that Chiang Kai-shek could return to Nanjing safely: after Chiang Kai-shek's safe return, both of them were reused.

After the start of the Anti-Japanese War, Xiong Shihui has been serving as the chairman of Jiangxi Province, before the fall of Wuhan, he was entrusted with an important task as the head of the military delegation of China to the United States, and has been in the United States since then, first with Song Ziwen and then with Kong Xiangxi, to strive for US aid, until recently was recalled by Chiang Kai-shek, and as soon as he returned, he was entrusted with a heavy task.

"Director Xiong works hard." Zhuang Jihua stretched out his hand enthusiastically, Zhuang Jihua's military rank has already surpassed his peers, and even surpassed most of the Kuomintang veteran generals, although Xiong Shihui is a veteran of the Kuomintang and has held many important positions, but the military rank has always been two levels lower than Zhuang Jihua.

Xiong Shihui held Zhuang Jihua's hand and said with a smile: "It should have come a long time ago, but the northeast is new, and there are too many things to delay, so I really shouldn't have bothered you to come to greet you so early."

Xiong Shihui's words are true, after the establishment of the Northeast Xingyuan, several major positions were divided between Chiang Kai-shek and Zhuang Jihua, but there were still some secondary positions, and many people recommended Xiong Shihui to make Xiong Shihui difficult to deal with.

After the establishment of Manchukuo, the Japanese himself redivided Manchukuo. It is divided into nineteen provinces and one special municipality.

What bothered Xiong Shihui was that the Nationalist Government was debating whether to maintain the nineteen provinces, or to reduce them by a few or restore the original three.

"Director Xiong's words are serious" Zhuang Jihua said with a smile: "You and I are in charge of the military and politics of the Northeast, and you are a senior in the military circles. ”

Xiong Shihui smiled, but he was secretly nervous in his heart, Zhuang Jihua had already regarded the Northeast as something in his bag, which meant that you Xiong Shihui came to help me build the Northeast, and I am the owner of this land.

Chiang Kai-shek once told him that after he arrived in the Northeast, he would firmly grasp the local administration Zhuang Jihua was only in charge of the military, and the local administration could not be let to his hands.

But now, Zhuang Jihua has unabashedly tried to get the local administration in his hands, which can't help but make Xiong Shihui not vigilant and worried.

Feng Yi smiled slightly, Zhuang Jihua's recent strategies are all from his plan, including the personnel adjustment in the war zone, and the posture to be taken when meeting Xiong Shihui this time, in Feng Yi's opinion, Xiong Shihui should be tough, Chiang Kai-shek separated the military power and administrative power in the northeast, for this move, Zhuang Jihua can not complain to the outside world, but he can express his dissatisfaction in the sΔ« Xia, the best way to express dissatisfaction is the attitude towards Xiong Shihui, clearly tell Xiong Shihui, I will not let go of the local administration.

"In times of war, it is natural that the local administration serves the war." Xiong Shihui is not ambiguous, he can't be ambiguous, Chiang Kai-shek asked him to go to the Northeast is to let him control the administrative power, he must execute: "I am the director of the Northeast Xingyuan, and the construction of the Northeast after the war is naturally duty-bound." ”

The two of them said, their hands were still clasped together, and when they saw it from a distance, they thought that the two of them were talking happily and the atmosphere was harmonious, but in fact, the secret battle had begun.

He Zhuguo was secretly happy in his heart, Zhuang Jihua made it clear that he wanted to compete for the administrative power of the Northeast, the main party of the society was newly established, and the vast majority of the military forces were concentrated in the Northeast Theater and under Zhuang Jihua.

Li Zhilong was also smiling calmly, his eyes fell on the few people behind Xiong Shihui, several main figures from the Northeast Xingyuan are here today, Xiao Zhenying, Xiao Shanling, Li Anding and others have already come over.

Most of these people are old acquaintances of Zhuang Jihua, not to mention Xiao Zhenying and Li Anding, Xiao Shanling once fought side by side with Zhuang Jihua in the lonely city of Nanjing, and the two are also old acquaintances.

Weber watched Zhuang Jihua talk and laugh with the officials in the northeast, and pondered silently in his heart. After more than 10 years in China, especially in the last seven years, he has understood that there is a special rule in the way people do things, and he must never easily believe their words.

He studied the personnel announcement of the Northeast Xingyuan, and felt that this personnel appointment was of great significance, and he was very skeptical that Chiang Kai-shek could rely on these to limit the development of Zhuang Jihua's forces.

Xiao Zhenying is the former North China Theater senior staff, that is, Zhuang Jihua's senior staff, Xiao Shanling and Zhuang Jihua fought together in Nanjing, he believes that with Zhuang Jihua's charm, he can completely influence Xiao Shanling, Li Anding is Zhuang Jihua's classmate and subordinate, and has worked under the leadership of Zhuang Jihua for nearly ten years.

This personnel arrangement is not like a restriction, but more like a compromise, a mutual compromise between Chiang Kai-shek and Zhuang Jihua. Both sides have scruples and don't want to tear face.

Obviously, Xiong Shihui's arrival did not inform the other reporters, and the reporters present were just the three of them, Zhuang Jihua, and they began to walk towards the village, and when they passed by Weber, Weber appropriately chā came to Xiong Shihui's side, and immediately began to ask questions.

"I'm Webb, a reporter from the Washington Observer, Director Xiong, and this time I went to the theater command, did I want to discuss with General Zhuang the time to attack the northeast? γ€οΌŒ

Xiong Shihui knew that Weber often read the Washington Observer newspaper when he was in the United States, and of course, he also knew that Weber had almost become Zhuang Jihua's spokesman in the United States, but he could not deal with it carelessly, because he also knew that President Roosevelt often read his reports.

"General Zhuang is responsible for the military operation, I don't dare to interfere" Xiong Shihui said with a smile: "General Zhuang is our winning general, in the Niuhang Battle, I fought in the south of Nanchang, when we knew the situation, we all thought that the first division was finished, but it was not the first division that was finished, but Zheng Junyan. Nanjing, in such a dangerous situation, he was still able to turn the crisis into safety and win a great victory on the southern front:"Speaking of this, Xiong Shihui shook his head and sighed: "To be honest, when it comes to combat, I Xiong Shihui thinks that I am not as good as Xiong Shihui, and ten Xiong Shihui is not as good as one Zhuang Cultural Revolution." ”

From the moment he got off the bus, Xiong Shihui has been very low-key, and it seems that everything can be discussed, but Feng Yi heard the meaning, I don't interfere in the military, you don't do much administration, our well water does not interfere with river water.

Feng Yi sneered in his heart, Xiong Shihui belongs to a relatively moderate faction in the Kuomintang, but this time he came to the Northeast, he is destined to clash with Zhuang Jihua, and it is a conflict with JΔ« Lie, which is related to the life and death of Zhuang Jihua's group.

Xiong Shihui thought that he had prevaricated in the past, but this first question was just to relax his vigilance, and Weber, a national master of China, fully understood Zhuang Jihua's current status in the team.

During the Seven Years' War, Zhuang Jihua led the "Middle" ** team, fought hard for many years, won one victory after another, and established a high reputation in the army. This series of victories allowed him to match Chiang Kai-shek's position in the army, and even surpass him. This is mainly due to the consideration of local troops, such as the Gui Army, the Northwest Army, and the 11th Army, in the minds of these local armies, even if Zhuang Jihua reorganized these armies drastically, his status was still higher than that of Chiang Kai-shek.

The Seven Years' War also proved another fact, Zhuang Jihua was the best general, and even the most resourceful and brave general among the generals of the Chinese country, he defeated all the military generals of Japan, from the original Matsui Ishine to Okamura Ninji. At present, the two main generals of the north and south of Japan: Naosaburo Okabe of the Kwantung Army and Seishiro Itagaki of the Commander-in-Chief of the Dispatch Army of the Central Nation are all defeated generals under him.

Webb was well aware of these situations, so the next question was the commission.

"General Xiong" Weber asked: "After the recovery of the Northeast, what policies do you plan to implement in the Northeast?"

"I'm here to discuss with Commander Zhuang." Ji Shihui almost blurted out, and only reacted when the words came to his mouth, and he suddenly felt bad, this question is too tricky.

If he wants to discuss with Zhuang Jihua, then Zhuang Jihua can unscrupulously interfere in the administration of Northeast China in the future, but if he does not think about the policies he will implement in the future, he may immediately clash with Zhuang Jihua.

Zhuang Jihua has been promoting the development of the southwest for 10 years, and he is proficient in political affairs, and after the recovery of the northeast, he must have his own strategy, and if there is a conflict between the two people's strategies, a battle will inevitably be inevitable.

Xiong Shihui smiled, and simply avoided answering, Weber was very disappointed, and then asked again: "General, Manchukuo... Divided into 19 provinces, after the recovery of the Northeast, is it still retained? In addition, Manchukuo still has more than a million national defense forces, how can these troops be solved? Zhuang Jihua looked at Xiong Shihui with a smile, as if he also wanted to know how he would answer, but Feng Yi said at this time: "Mr. Weber, it's too early to talk about this, after recovering the Northeast, it will naturally be announced that Director Xiong came over early in the morning, I'm afraid he hasn't had breakfast yet, and after the commander and the director discuss, it will naturally be clear." Xiong Shihui smiled and nodded at Weber, this is already the best way to break the siege, but in his heart, he is secretly complaining, Feng Yi is to relieve him, and he also leaves the outside world with the impression that Northeast political affairs must be discussed with Zhuang Jihua, and actually opened up the big mΓ©n of interfering in the administration of Northeast China for Zhuang Jihua.
