Li Haoyi in the interrogation room was interrogating the four Chu Ming people who were arrested, these four people all gritted their teeth and resolutely refused to admit that they were the Communist Party, and when they heard that Li Zhilong was coming, he asked his subordinates to continue to warm up, and he returned to the office to see Li Zhilong.

Li Haoyi has been a little excited recently, since he arrived in Yucheng, he obviously felt that the Yucheng officialdom had neglected him, although the middle-level officials were respectful to him, but the municipal axe high-level officials controlled by Zhuang Jihua disdained him, never asked him to attend any meetings, and even the intelligence officers of the Central Command in the Sichuan army in Zhuang Jihua's hands never revealed it to him.

However, Li Haoyi knew his own affairs, he did not show any dissatisfaction, but secretly held his breath in his heart, but he knew that he could not clash with Zhuang Jihua, they were not a heavyweight player at all, but he wanted to vent in his heart, and at the same time warned Zhuang Jihua. The arrest of the four members of the development team this time is a temptation, these four people are not without evidence, but they can also be put first, if they are placed in Guangzhou or Wuhan, he will let them go, and see who is behind them, but now he doesn't want to, Zhuang Jihua is not in Yucheng, it is the best opportunity for him to try.

"Slack, slack, please forgive Brother Tian." As soon as Li Hao entered the door, he happily pleaded guilty, ignoring Li Zhilong's gloomy face.

"I know Section Chief Li is very busy, but I have to come to the door today, the base is going to be turned upside down, Section Chief Li doesn't know?" Li Zhilong said coldly, he was angry when he saw Li Haoyi's appearance.

"Oh, this, brother really doesn't know, brother doesn't dare to interfere in the affairs of your base." Li Haoyi sighed deliberately, and then asked with great concern: "Is the Communist Party instigating trouble?" ”

Li Zhilong almost went up to punch him, smashing this hypocritical face, he suppressed the anger in his heart and said: "You arrested the four of us, the whole base turned upside down, all work stopped, I have to ask you why you didn't notify us in advance?" The Cultural Revolution told you before that everything involving the base had to be reported in advance before action could be taken, so why didn't you report it? ”

"Brother Zaitian, isn't there nothing I can do?" Li Haoyi said calmly: "We discovered the Communist Party organization in the Yucheng University Student Salvation Association, and took action, but in order to prevent the rest of the party from escaping, we had to take resolute measures. ”

"Don't you have time to make a phone call?" Li Zhilong asked: "You said that they are the Communist Party, is there any specific evidence?" ”

"They have ties to the Communist Party organization, and the Communist Party members in the Major Student Salvation Association have confessed." Li Haoyi is also unambiguous.

"What I'm trying to ask is are they [***] members?" Li Zhilong pressed up, he believed Tang Zong in this regard, and even Tang Zong couldn't confirm the matter, he didn't believe that Li Hao would get the evidence as soon as he could.

"They are the targets of the development of the Communist Party," Li Haoyi admitted that they were not members of the Communist Party, but he changed his tone and said very sincerely: "In Tian, the development of the southwest is an important task of the party-state, and the Communist Party will not fail to target it, and I am also thinking about you to prevent the infiltration of the Communist Party." ”

"Then we have to thank you, Section Chief Li," Li Zhilong sneered coldly, and then he couldn't help but stand up: "But the fact now is that the people in the base are scattered, all work has come to a standstill, and what you have done has seriously interfered with our work." ”

"That just shows that the base has been infiltrated by the Communist Party, and in Tian, you should immediately suppress it, arrest a few, kill a few, and then they will be honest." Li Haoyi said indifferently.

"Fart!" Li Zhilong finally couldn't help it, he stood up angrily, and stepped in front of Li Haoyi in one step: "Catch a few, kill a few; Do you know who they are? Do you know how much effort it took us to convince them to come here? Kill a few, don't say a few, just one, the principal and the Cultural Revolution will have to kill you. ”

A wisp of paleness flashed across Li Hao's face, but he quickly calmed down, and Li Zhilong's eyes swept a trace of disdain: "They are not members of the Communist Party, we have all been in the Communist Party, you should know very well that they are just some naïve students, these students used to be a lot in Guangzhou, for them, push it, they went to the Communist Party of China, pull a hand, they are our people." Therefore, unless there is conclusive evidence, the person must be released. ”

Li Hao was bent on telemobilizing, and it was true that the existing evidence could not prove that these four people were all [***] members, but only that they were inclined to the Communist Party, but in his experience, they would soon be absorbed into the Communist Party of Q, and then enter the Communist Party, and there was nothing wrong with arresting them: "Zaitian, it is precisely because we came out of the Communist Party of China that we know that those people will become the Communist Party, and those people will not, I am sure that in two years, they will all become the Communist Party." ”

Li Zhilong snorted coldly and said in a hurry: "But they are not now, and they can't judge today by what will happen in the future." He looked at Li Haoyi and changed his tone: "Zhengde, you and the Cultural Revolution and Junqi and Guangting They have had a period of entanglement in Wuhan, you have been in Yucheng for a while, but the Cultural Revolution they have not troubled you, and they have not even done a plot, originally this is your chance to resolve this grievance, but you have to do this, mess up the development team, break up, and the Cultural Revolution will fight with you when you come back." ”

These words hit the biggest hidden danger in Li Haoyi's heart, although Zhuang Jihua didn't pay attention to him, but he didn't trouble him, if the development team was really dispersed because of this matter, Zhuang Jihua was angry and asked him for trouble, even if he avoided this time, what about next time? He couldn't help but think of Xu Enzeng and Li Anding's explanation to him before he came, don't conflict with Zhuang Jihua.

Li Hao hesitated, and after a while, Li Zhilong saw his hesitation, so he immediately said: "Zhengde, don't hesitate, this is an opportunity, the evidence from torture is not credible, you don't let people go now, come back from the Cultural Revolution and try it in person, they retracted their confessions on the spot, how did you end up?" Besides, those professors in the base are all top figures in various academic fields in China, and they are all very influential in the international community, and they are still only making trouble in the base. ”

"Okay, let's release people," Li Haoyi finally relented, but he added a little unwillingly: "But in Tian, you have to discipline these people well, otherwise sooner or later they will become a trouble." ”

Li Zhilong breathed a sigh of relief at this time, and he casually perfunctory two sentences. After a while, the four people were brought over from the interrogation room, Li Zhilong looked at them, and saw that they had not been tortured, but they were tired, and their hearts were at ease, so he stepped forward and reprimanded: "I told you a long time ago, you are still young, you know people and faces, you don't know your heart, you have fallen for others, you have to learn a lesson in the future!" ”

Except for Chu Ming, the other three all lowered their heads, and Chu Ming raised his voice unconvinced: "Patriotism is not guilty!" Resist and say innocence! ”

Chu Ming's words made the three of them raise their heads again, and Li Rongjian pushed the glasses on the bridge of his nose and said, "Yes, what's wrong with our propaganda of anti-propaganda, didn't Captain Zhuang also say that we came here to resist it!" ”

Li Zhilong shook his head, sighed in his heart, but his face showed an angry expression: "Hmph, there is nothing wrong with resisting, and there is nothing wrong with being patriotic, but it is useless to only know that impulsiveness, I suggest you read Mr. Hu Shi's article carefully and reflect on it seriously." ”

After speaking, without waiting for them to speak, he said sternly: "Because of you, the base has turned upside down, come back with me!" ”

Soon after Li Zhilong and the others left, Li Haoyi received a telegram from Nanjing, in which Xu Enzeng told him that Zhuang Jihua had stabbed the matter to Chiang Kai-shek, and the chairman of the committee ordered that if there was no evidence, he would be released immediately to calm the situation.

Li Hao had a cold sweat on his back, he was a little overwhelmed now, if he couldn't even drag Zhuang Jihua into the water with the excuse of the Communist Party, what could he do in the future?

Li Zhilong quickly sent a report to Zhuang Jihua to complain that the situation had subsided, which made Zhuang Jihua very happy, and after he left Nanchang, he did not go back to Chongqing directly, but made a detour to Shanghai, met with Zhang Jingjiang and people from Shanghai's industrial circles, purchased railroad tracks from Shanghai's Hexing and other iron and steel factories, mobilized Shanghai Hardware Copper Factory and Zhonghua Copper Factory to open new factories in Yucheng, and the Industrial and Commercial Bank of China provided full loans, which made Jinhuating and Yu Ruiqi very happy. In addition, Lin Di'an's Dafeng Industrial Raw Materials Co., Ltd., Shao Jinqing's Zhenhua Industrial Company, Feng Liansheng's Yisheng Rubber Factory, and even Fangye Xianzhaoxin Chemical Factory Co., Ltd., which was less than a year old, also received loans, and Zhuang Jihua became a veritable fortune boy in Shanghai in July 1933.

Zhang Jingjiang was a little disapprehensive of his scattered wealth, thinking that as long as he supported a few key factories, such a large area of loans, the capital efficiency is very low, Zhuang Jihua helplessly told him, in his opinion, China's factories do not meet his requirements, this factory has two or three hundred people, four or fifty small people, thousands of people at all, even the largest chemical plant Wu Yunchu's Tianyuan Chemical Factory is only seven or eight hundred people, the production process is also very primitive, but there is no way, China's current situation is like this. Don't look at so many people, even 50 million have not been dispersed, including more than 20 million loans from Wu Yunchu alone, only raise them first, see who can develop and grow, and then focus on supporting them later.

Zhang Jingjiang was silent, there are not no big factories in Shanghai, mainly textile factories, but these factories are not within the support of Zhuang Jihua's plan, and the objects of support this time are mainly radio, non-ferrous metals, chemical and other military-related industries, as for textile factories, in Zhuang Jihua's words, they can fight with their bare buttocks, but they can't fight without guns and bullets. But in order to coordinate the relationship between the industrial and commercial circles, Zhuang Jihua finally put a loan to the textile industry and gave the Rong family a loan.

At the end of July, Zhuang Jihua went to Wuhan to attend the ceremony for the resumption of steelmaking at the Hankou Iron and Steel Plant. After the Hankou Iron and Steel Plant was recovered, the funds were in place in the shortest possible time, and Li Wei organized technicians to first repair a blast furnace, as well as a supporting coking plant and a rolling workshop, and they worked hard within three months to finally resume steelmaking two months ahead of schedule.

General Manager Li Wei Li Wei presided over the groundbreaking ceremony, the military band blowing and playing lively, Li Wei gave an order, the raging fire ignited in the blast furnace, the workers were very lively to add coal, Li Wei accompanied Zhuang Jihua to inspect the factory, and reported to him the recovery process of several blast furnaces behind. Zhuang Jihua was also very excited, interacting with workers and technicians from time to time along the way, next to a large number of reporters from the three towns of Wuhan, flashing magnesium lights, murdering a lot of film.

In Wuhan, Zhuang Jihua also waited for a team of as many as 3,000 people led by Du Yuming, who recruited a group of people from among the volunteers who had returned from outside the Saiwai, as well as from the left-behind personnel waiting in Zhangjiakou, and recruited some new teachers and students in Beiping.

Among these people, Zhuang Jihua in addition to the little white dragon Fan Chunshen, but also unexpectedly found Lu Ruishan who was drinking with him, Lu Ruishan was embarrassed to tell him that he lost the wine fight with Wu Ziniu, so he had to come over to Zhuang Jihua as a guard. Zhuang Jihua laughed, but in private, Wu Ziniu told him that Gong Changhai asked him to come over, but Gong Changhai himself decided to stay in Beiping to assist Feng Zhanhai. Zhuang Jihua secretly said in his heart, who said that Gong Changhai is a fool Lao Tzu gouged out his eyes, this Palace Changhai is more shrewd than anyone else, he is not optimistic about the future of Feng Zhanhai's department at all, so he let his most intimate brother come to him.

Xiao Bailong Fan Chunshen led more than 700 people to attack behind the enemy, less than half of them came back, plus more than 500 people left, a total of less than 900 people, and he is a complete green forest armament, in the eyes of the Beiping Army Branch, he is an absolute dismissal object, but Wu Ziniu admires him more and resolutely pulls him into the development team, but some of his subordinates are unwilling to go to distant Sichuan, Fan Chunshen also simply, take a cent of the military expenses he gets, everyone disperses, and those who are willing to go to Sichuan will join the development team, and those who do not want to go to fend for themselves, In the end, he brought more than 500 people to the development team, including his second leader.

In addition to them, there are also old north winds, sweeping tigers, .......

At the end of July, another major event occurred in the north, Feng Yuxiang left Zhangjiakou and went back to Mount Tai to study. Because Zhuang Jihua pulled most of the volunteers away, especially Feng Yuxiang finally agreed to Tong Linge to participate in the Chadong counteroffensive, after the counteroffensive ended, Tong Linge did not return to Zhangjiakou but returned to the 29th Army, Zhangjiakou's troops were mainly Ji Hongchang and Fang Zhenwu, and there was also the Miyang Military Academy armed forces that were nominally commanded by Feng Yuxiang and were actually pulled away by the Communist Party.

Tong Linge's departure shattered the fragile trust, and the Shunzhi Provincial Party Committee believed that it was the result of Feng Yuxiang's compromise and surrender, and instructed the front-line working committee to vigorously carry out the anti-compromise struggle. The spearhead of the struggle launched by the front-line working committee was directly aimed at Feng Yuxiang, and the slogans on the streets and mass rallies were all slogans to defeat Feng Yuxiang and oppose compromise and surrender. Under these circumstances, Feng Yuxiang decided that he could no longer lead the anti-Japanese allied forces, so he decided to return to Mount Tai to study at the end of July.

Feng Yuxiang left, and the front-line working committee, which was in full trouble, immediately found that the situation was not what they were doing.
