He Yingqin has no grudges with Zhuang Jihua, he doesn't want to offend Zhuang Jihua, so he just reminds him tactfully; Wang Bailing went into battle shirtless, and Chiang Kai-shek could not care about Wang Bailing's slander, but he couldn't help but pay attention to He Yingqin's words. He Yingqin has shown strong military ability and organizational ability both in the position of chief instructor of the Whampoa Military Academy and in the position of head of the teaching regiment, and his political vision is also quite extraordinary, and he has become a core figure in the Whampoa department.

As the head of a group, Chiang Kai-shek had to pay attention to the balance within the group, and seniority was sometimes light, sometimes heavy; Many of the instructors in the first phase are still small company commanders, battalion commanders or lieutenant captains, Zhuang Jihua is already a lieutenant colonel, if he is promoted to brigade commander, then he will soon become the first general-level officer among the Whampoa students. It has only been a year since he graduated, and such a rapid ascension to the throne is rare in history, and the last one may be Huo Quai, who is known as using 800 horses to dominate the world; This upsets the balance within the group.

On the other hand, Zhuang Jihua's recent performance also made Chiang Kai-shek quite worried, Wang Bailing said that he supported the peasant association, Chiang Kai-shek did not know but knew very well, Zhuang Jihua came back the next day he knew, he didn't care at the time, one because the Liao case was first reported, it was the time of tension, and he didn't care, support the workers and peasants, he also did it in Chaoshan, but now it seems that Zhuang Jihua is inevitably suspected of making unauthorized claims, if it is investigated deeply, it will be serious.

After Wang Bailing left, Chiang Kai-shek felt that this matter was not easy to handle, and he could not handle it seriously, but also asked Zhuang Jihua to learn a lesson; If it's heavy, it may have knocked him away; Light, with Chiang Kai-shek's understanding, Zhuang Jihua will definitely not go to his heart. This degree is not easy to grasp, and the opportunity did not appear, Chiang Kai-shek did not think about it for a while, so he had to let it go first.

After the Liao case, the rightists left Huihui one after another, and the leftists with Wang-Chiang cooperation at the core firmly grasped power, all of which made Borodin full of confidence in the future, and his report to the Comintern was full of optimism, suggesting that cooperation with the Kuomintang should be strengthened, and that the Comintern formally propose to the Comintern that a group of young people from China be recruited to Moscow to train cadres for the development of the revolution. The Comintern replied to his suggestion and agreed to establish a school named after Sun Yat-sen in Moscow to train cadres for the Chinese revolution; At the same time, he reminded him to pay attention to coordinating the relations between the Kuomintang and the Kuomintang, that the strength of the Chinese workers is still very weak, that the Chinese revolution should still be dominated by a national revolution against imperialism, that the Kuomintang should become the main force of the revolution in this revolution, that the Kuomintang should accept the leadership of the Kuomintang, that the Kuomintang members should not overstep their responsibilities and make decisions on behalf of the Kuomintang, that they should unite the left wing of the Kuomintang and make some concessions if necessary.

Borodin was greatly encouraged by the Comintern's letter, and he immediately informed Wang Ching-wei and Chiang Kai-shek of the Comintern's decision at a political meeting of the Central Committee of the Kuomintang convened by the Central Committee of the Kuomintang to prepare for the crusade and the disposition of Hu Hanmin after the Liao case. Wang Ching-wei was greatly excited, he thought that this was the recognition of him by Soviet Russia as the leader of the Kuomintang, and he euphemistically asked Borodin about the possible surname of the Kuomintang to join the Third International, Borodin could not help but be stunned when he heard this, he did not expect Wang Ching-wei to have such an idea, and in his moment, Chiang Kai-shek interjected to express his support, believing that the national revolution was also a part of the world revolution and was in line with the policy of the Third International against imperialism.

Chiang Kai-shek's statement made Borodin feel that it was difficult for him to refuse immediately, and if he did so, it would affect his current rapport with Wang Chiang, so he excused himself by saying that he was only a representative of the Comintern and that he could not make a decision on this matter, but he supported Wang Ching-wei's proposal and suggested that Wang Ching-wei submit it directly to the Comintern.

"I think this is very good, Brother Zhaoming, Hu Zhantang is going to Moscow soon, so he can hand it over to the international leaders in person." Chiang Kai-shek reminded Wang Jingwei.

Hu Hanmin was involved in the Liao case, but in the end there was no direct evidence to prove that Hu Hanmin had participated in the conspiracy, and Wang Jingwei also defended him, believing that he should only bear political responsibility, which meant that the treatment of him should also be political, and suggested that Hu Hanmin go to Soviet Russia to investigate, and this proposal was supported by most members of the Central Committee, including Tan Yankai and Zhu Peide.

"I think it's better to ask in a private name first, and if it is feasible, we will formally propose it, which is more secure." Tan Yankai stroked his long beard and proposed.

The participants naturally agreed with the words of the old man seeking the country. If it rashly proposes to join and is finally rejected, the KMT's face will be disgraced. Of course, Wang Jingwei naturally wrote the letter.

The proposal to send students to Moscow was quickly approved unanimously, and an admissions committee headed by Wang Jingwei, Tan Yankai, and Gu Yingfen was determined.

Subsequently, Chiang Kai-shek formally proposed the reorganization of the whole army, abolishing all inappropriate titles with local colors, and changing the name to the National Revolutionary Army, and the reorganization of all units in accordance with the party-army paradigm.

Chiang Kai-shek's proposal was silent as soon as the venue came out, mentioning the reorganization of Xiong Kewu's heart is the most complicated, although he is still a member of the Central Committee, but the soldiers in his hands are gone, and others naturally see the results of the reorganization of the Sichuan army, and they have the intention to oppose it, but Chiang Kai-shek is now on the momentum, if he directly opposes it, he will be used as a target, and it is not impossible to become Xu Chongzhi's second.

Seeing that everyone did not speak, Chiang Kai-shek threw out the strategy of preparation: "I also have a proposal that the national political axe currently only has the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and the Ministry of Finance, but for a long time to come, military work will be the focus of the national political axe, so there can be no slightest relaxation in the construction of the army. ”

Chiang Kai-shek's move surprised everyone, and Xiong Kewu was also surprised, he thought that he would not be able to re-enter the army, but he did not expect that Chiang Kai-shek would recommend him at this time.

"Kai-shek, can you elaborate?" Chiang Kai-shek's hand also surprised Wang Jingwei, and he couldn't help complaining in his heart about why Chiang Kai-shek didn't greet him in advance.

Chiang Kai-shek glanced at Wang Jingwei lightly, he just wanted to surprise people, he wanted to see the attitude of the central government towards him.

"The Ministry of Military Affairs is under the leadership of the Military Commission, and there are three bureaus under it: the Quartermaster Bureau, the Ordnance Industry Bureau, and the Examination Department.

After Chiang Kai-shek finished speaking, he handed the prepared documents to Wang Jingwei and Borodin, and then quietly observed the committee members attending the meeting. Borodin was also puzzled at this time, he did not know why Chiang Kai-shek had carried out such a surprise attack.

"General Chiang, the establishment of the Ministry of Military Affairs is naturally a good thing for the reorganization of the army, but we were unprepared in advance, and suddenly we had to make such a major decision, I thought it was too hasty," Borodin said carefully, after more than a year in China, he knew some habits of the Chinese, and he also knew Chiang Kai-shek better, so his tone was very gentle, and he tried to care about his face: "I think this is good, this document will be issued to each committee member, everyone will go back and think carefully, and then we will hold a special meeting to discuss, And today we will only discuss the matter of the whole army. ”

"I agree." Zhu Peide first agreed, but he disagreed with Xiong Kewu as Minister of Military Affairs.

"Well, Advisor Bao is right, the Ministry of Military Affairs is very involved, so you must be cautious." Tan Yankai also disagreed, after the establishment of the Ministry of Military Affairs, it is inevitable to divide part of the power held by the various armies, and from the departmental setup mentioned by Chiang Kai-shek, the logistics will be under the control of the Ministry of Military Affairs, which undoubtedly controls the lifeblood of the various armies, and he also feels that Chiang Kai-shek has risen too fast and too high.

"When will we meet to discuss it?" Xiong Kewu decided to help Chiang Kai-shek, and he vaguely felt that Chiang Kai-shek's move was not necessarily to pass this proposal today, but had other purposes, and it would be of great benefit to show his attitude at this time in the future.

"The Eastern Expedition is about to begin, and then the Southern Expedition to Deng Benyin, after these two battles, Guangdong will be truly unified, and General Chiang will participate in the Eastern Expedition, and when he returns victoriously, we will decide this issue again." Borodin's words undoubtedly determined that Chiang Kai-shek would be the commander-in-chief of the Eastern Crusade, of course, this was not unexpected, the first Eastern Crusade was fought by Chiang Kai-shek, he was familiar with the Dongjiang River, and the main force of the army must be the party army, so who else could the commander-in-chief have besides Chiang Kai-shek.

Chiang Kai-shek was satisfied, and he was only testing today to see how much weight he had in the Central Committee.

"The reorganization of the various armies is imperative, and I would like to invite you to express your views on how to proceed." When Wang Ching-wei saw that the matter of the Ministry of Military Affairs had come to an end, he mentioned the matter of reorganizing the army, and he discussed this issue with Chiang Kai-shek.

"The reorganization of the Sichuan army is not yet complete, the Eastern Expedition and the Southern Expedition are about to begin, and the military situation is urgent, and we can't afford to delay, so I think the reorganization of each department can be carried out on its own." Zhu Peide proposed that he was unwilling to be like Xiong Kewu, to organize the army, and finally to put the army into the hands of others.

"Commander Zhu's proposal is very good, I have no opinion." Chiang Kai-shek first stated that the party army could no longer eat, and if they ate any more, they would die.

Since Chiang Kai-shek had no opinion, then naturally no one else had any objections. As a result, the decision on the reorganization of the various armies in Guanyu was immediately made: The military commission supervised the reorganization of the armed forces, and after the reorganization of the various departments, a party representative system was established, and party representatives were sent by the military commission, and party representatives were only appointed at the corps level, and party representatives were not appointed at the company and battalion levels for the time being.

"Ziwen, is there a problem with the military expenses of the Eastern Crusade?" Chiang Kai-shek turned his head and asked Song Ziwen again, after Liao Zhongkai's death, Song Ziwen took over the posts of Minister of Finance of the National People's Republic of China and Director of the Guangdong Department of Finance, and also served as the governor of the Central Bank, and was a veritable god of wealth in Guangdong.

"There is no problem, in the past few months, the Guangdong Import and Export Service Company has earned 2.17 million yuan, plus salt tax, tobacco tax, and commercial tax, the total amount has reached 2.76 million, which is more than enough to pay for military spending." Song Ziwen wanted to laugh when he thought of the import and export company, and he didn't know who came up with this bad idea, making the British dumb and eating coptis, and now the British are desperately demanding to reopen the customs, but Chen Youren is just one word - drag.
