"We didn't provoke anyone, we were just fighting for our rights, and you were prejudiced against us during the Cultural Revolution. "Although Zhou EN has noticed that Zhuang Jihua has shown goodwill, he still does not leave the slightest handle.

Zhuang Jihua shook his head lightly, but did not refute: "In order to achieve post-war peace, I have an idea, I have proposed to the chairman of the committee to cancel the Jicha theater, it is estimated that after you return to Chongqing, the chairman will discuss with you, and I suggest that you agree."

In the past, I had reached an agreement with Chen G that the southern Hebei region would belong to your party, on the condition that your party would not interfere in central Hebei, but now I have done it, and most of the southern Hebei region is already under the control of your party, but according to the information I have obtained, the Eighth Route Army is still operating in central Hebei. ”

Zhuang Jihua paused here: "Why don't I want your party to interfere in Jizhong?" This is because the relations between Hebei and China are in the Pingjin region, and the Pingjin region is an area where the chairman will never let go, and once your party intervenes in this region, no matter what efforts it makes in the future, the chairman will never give in, and the danger of civil war will greatly increase. ”

"Cultural Revolution, this is your wishful thinking," Zhou En shook his head and retorted: "If Chiang Kai-shek is determined to provoke a civil war, whether we occupy Jizhong or not, he will provoke a civil war." The ultimate force to prevent civil war is still the growth of our power. ”

"I agree with this," Zhuang Jihua nodded in acknowledgement: "But, Director Zhou, have you thought about it, you said that the chairman **, but according to my observation over the years, the chairman of the committee has no absolute authority in the party, and is subject to a lot of constraints, in fact, he is smaller than Mr. mZD's absolute authority in your party, and he needs something to convince the opposition in the party." ”

"So, you made us sacrifice again." There was a sarcasm in Zhou Enlai's tone.

"You are not completely sacrificed," Zhuang Jihua said, "I will compensate you." ”

"You? Do you compensate us? Zhou EN looked at him suspiciously, looking very puzzled. Zhuang Jihua nodded affirmatively, Zhou EN came to look at Deng Yanda again, and Deng Yanda's eyes were equally firm.

"How are you going to compensate us?"

"If you do this, after the war, the chairman of the committee will still use force against you, and Director Deng and I will stand with you."

As soon as this remark came out, it was like a thunderbolt in Zhou Enlai's ears, he and Deng Yanda joined them together, and the third party is now their political ally, but they have only a small part of the army except for politics, and they have no stable base area, once the civil war breaks out, except for moral and political support, nothing else can be said to be useless.

"The army under the control of Director Deng now has 300,000 people, well-equipped, and has been in battle for a long time, and the army I can control also has 300,000, which can grow to 500,000 in the next few years.

Zhuang Jihua's tone was calm, but Zhou En came like a lightning strike, with his steadiness, he was not surprised, and he couldn't help but be surprised. He glanced at Deng Yanda, Deng Yanda nodded, these 300,000 are the main force of the Third Party Force under the command of Zhuang Jihua, and the Third Party Force still has some troops in the Jiangnan Theater, the Jianghuai Theater and the Eighth Theater, but these troops are scattered, and the largest scale is at the division level, but there are 70,000 or 80,000 in total.

Zhou EN can now be sure that Zhuang Jihua and Deng Yanda must have an agreement in private, however, he did not join the third party, otherwise he would not have separated the third party from his troops. However, Zhou EN still wanted to ask.

"Choose a life, the Cultural Revolution joined the National Revolution?"

"No, he's in partnership with us." Deng Yanda replied.

Zhou EN nodded, he thought for a moment and said, "This situation is too sudden, I have to think about it to answer you." ”

Zhuang Jihua and Deng Yanda didn't urge Zhou En to come, they sat down to drink tea, and Zhou En came to stand in front of the window with his arms crossed, looking at the misty drizzle outside the window, and his mind couldn't help rolling.

Zhuang Jihua secretly cooperated with the third party, he hid this situation to death, the blade was so close to him, but there was no news at all, Deng Yanda was not simple, the top level of the third party was afraid that he, Li Jishen, Chen Mingshu, and several serious people knew, and even Zhang Bojun hid it; It is no wonder that in the past few years, Deng Yanda and Chen Mingshu have frequently entered the Fifth War Zone, and cadres have been frequently transferred to the Fifth War Zone, and at that time they reached a cooperation agreement with Zhuang Jihua.

Zhou En quickly thought about the impact of this major change on the party. There are two more forces in China's political arena, and these two forces cannot be underestimated, and the combined army has reached one million; Zhou En came to be sure that Zhuang Jihua had reservations and did not fully disclose his and the armed forces of the third party; This force would be of great importance after the war, and cooperating with Chiang Kai-shek would have an overwhelming advantage over the GCD; By partnering with the GCD, you can fight Chiang Kai-shek.

But then he found that Zhuang Jihua's position in this is very wonderful, firstly, the third party force was developed by him and was deeply influenced by him, and secondly, Zhuang Jihua will definitely not let the third party force develop beyond his strength; That is, once he cooperates with Chiang Kai-shek, their strength will far surpass the alliance of the GCD and the Third Party; In this sense, Zhuang Jihua will exert greater influence after the war.

From the current point of view, the third party and Zhuang Jihua do not have their own stable territory, but Zhou EN has no doubt that Zhuang Jihua can find a territory for himself in the future, he guesses that this territory is the Northeast, thinking of this, he can't help but sigh again, in the competition for the Northeast, Zhuang Jihua's advantage is too obvious.

Zhuang Jihua and Deng Yanda drank tea, Deng Yanda had a strong puzzle in his heart, he believed that Zhuang Jihua's deployment was very beneficial to the CCP, the Kuomintang through the reorganization of the army and social reform, especially social reform, virtually increased the strength of the Kuomintang several times, only a few joined forces to confront.

But after thinking about it, Deng Yanda somewhat understood that Zhou EN came to northern Shaanxi, Suiyuan, northern Jin, and Chahar are all bitter cold places, and from the former Qing Dynasty to the present, they all need to transfer grain from outside, and once the food supply is cut off, the CCP is bound to be in trouble.

"Cultural Revolution," Deng Yanda opened his mouth to break the calm: "Suiyuan is a bitter cold land, the land is barren, is it possible to provide funds or food supplements every year." ”

Zhuang Jihua smiled slightly: "The teacher is wrong, Suiyuan is not a barren land, Suiyuan is the richest region in China, the area with the most development potential, if it is not for the chairman's thoughts, I would rather hand over Jizhong to them and leave Suiyuan." ”

Decades later, Ordos is known as the non-ferrous metal capital of China, and millionaires are considered poor here, and this is still a barren land?

"Teacher, you are looking at it from the point of view of agricultural economy, in fact, in the era of industrial economy, Suiyuan is not only not a barren land, but a rich land, this area is extremely rich in mineral products, coal, iron ore, oil, natural gas, the reserves here are the largest in the country, the barrenness on the surface hides the rich treasures underground." Zhuang Jihua sighed: "When I opened a mine in the southwest, the wealth of the southwest mineral deposits was far less than that of Suiyuan, and it was difficult to mine. In addition, it is oil, and now it is said that China is an oil-poor country and has no oil, but experts from the Southwest Development Team told me that China has oil, most likely in the northeast, where there is likely to be a super-large oil field. ”

"Really?" Deng Yanda's eyes widened, very surprised. Since the Manchu Qing Dynasty was opened to the West, Western countries have come to China one by one to find resources, everything else has been found, there is no oil, a few small oil wells have been found in the Yanbian area, but the big oil fields have never been found, Zhuang Jihua is now very sure to tell him that China is not short of oil, and there are big oil fields in the Northeast, which shocked him a little.

Zhuang Jihua nodded, on the issue of oil, he had discussed with Li Siguang, Huang Jiqing and others, among which Huang Jiqing also led a team to conduct oil investigation in the northwest, Li Siguang and Huang Jiqing according to their respective geological theories, both believe that there are likely to be large oil fields in the northeast, especially Huang Jiqing, Li Siguang believes that there should be a super large oil field in Sichuan, and has been looking for this oil field in Sichuan in recent years, but what disappointed him is that most of the oil fields found are gas mines.

However, Zhuang Jihua didn't want to talk about this issue, the news about the existence of large oil fields in the Northeast was ordered by him to blockade, the Northeast is still in the hands of the Japanese, only after it is recaptured, can it be found on a large scale, however, in this matter, Zhuang Jihua also regretted that he knew that there was a Daqing City, but he had never been there, and he did not know the specific location, so he had to rely on the geological team to find it everywhere.

"After the end of the War of Resistance, if peace is achieved in the country, it will enter a stage of great development," Zhuang Jihua stood up, walked to the window of the ship, and propped his hands on the window: "Heal the wounds of the war, speed up industrial construction, teacher, as long as there is ten years of peace, we can enter a period of prosperity, because the Chinese are the most industrious, as long as they are given opportunities, they can create any miracle." ”

Deng Yanda smiled bitterly, he has known Zhuang Jihua for more than ten years, and his confidence in the country and the nation has always been so strong. However, Deng Yanda believed his words, at least he practiced in the southwest, and the results were remarkable.

"Cultural Revolution," Zhou EN has now thought clearly, Zhuang Jihua's plan is generally more beneficial than disadvantageous to the CCP, once the two sides reach a peace agreement, Yan Xishan Fu Zuoyi's troops will be transferred out of Shanxi, the Datong crisis will be resolved, and the exchange of Jizhong, the central government also has this intention, indicating that the central government also sees this, in addition to what Zhuang Jihua said just now, Suiyuan is the richest area in China, this said something moved him, although I don't know whether it is true or false, but Zhou EN thinks that this is true.

"I will report your suggestion to the Central Committee, and if the Central Committee agrees, I will negotiate with the chairman of the committee in Chongqing."

"Okay, Director Zhou," Zhuang Jihua turned to look at Zhou EN, and said: "However, don't go to Chongqing, I will suggest to the chairman of the committee to talk about it in Jinan, this involves the prospect of the Anti-Japanese War in North China, I have the right to make such a request, and the chairman will not refuse." ”
