Section 1 The Shanghai Conspiracy IV
Seeing Chen Gongbo's objection, Zhou Fohai shrugged his shoulders indifferently, and leaned back on the sofa: "Si Tong, what do you think?" ”
Bai Sitong is also a cadre in Wang Jingwei's system, but like Chen Gongbo, although he does not think that the future of the War of Resistance is bright, he does not agree to sacrifice national sovereignty in exchange for peace. //.qb5、COm\
"I also think that the conditions for peace talks are not yet ripe," Bai Sitong pondered and said: "I have been thinking about one thing, after the last Xuzhou war, why did the Japanese raise the conditions, my conclusion is that the Japanese still want to force us to sign an alliance under the city, in exchange for their greatest interests, now there are a few points between us, the Northeast issue, the Inner Mongolia issue, the withdrawal issue, Brother Zongwu, you have talked about the first two issues, what about the withdrawal issue?" How to withdraw? ”
"As soon as a peace agreement is reached, Japan will withdraw its troops immediately." Gao Zongwu saw that Chen Gongbo and Bai Sitong did not approve of continuing to talk, and he was a little depressed, so he poured himself a glass of wine and slowly sipped it.
"That's it, to be honest, since the Republic of China, China's problem is that the military interferes in politics, and now the military listens to Chiang Kai-shek, if he does not agree to this condition, it is useless for Chairman Wang to come forward, and the war will not stop." Bai Sitong's point of view was very harsh, but it was difficult to refute, and the three of them were speechless for a moment.
Chen Gongbo sighed: "Brother Bai's words hit the nail on the head, this is exactly my concern, so I don't approve of Mr. Wang coming forward, even if there is to be peace talks, it should be Chiang Kai-shek." ”
When Zhou Fohai heard this, he despised it in his heart, the Japanese had already made a condition, and they would not talk to Chiang Kai-shek, hoping that Mr. Wang would come forward and not take this opportunity to oust Chiang Kai-shek, when would they have to wait? What an elm head.
"That's it, Zongwu, let's go to Chongqing to recuperate for a while, take a look at my wife and children by the way, scatter my mind, and recuperate my body." Zhou Fohai still doesn't matter, the key to this matter is Wang Jingwei, as long as he agrees, Gao Zongwu will do it.
"Okay." Gao Zongwu nodded: "To be honest, I have long wanted to go to Chongqing to see, it is said that Moses made it like a paradise, I don't know if it's true or not, Brother Chen, you have been among us, how about telling us?" ”
"I've been there, Fohai has been to the same place, but to be honest, although the newspaper has touted some times, but Chongqing is much ahead of other regions, at least five years, industry and commerce are very developed, the city is relatively clean, the biggest difference is order, it is very orderly, the management of the people is relatively strict, unlike other places, a plate of scattered sand." Chen Gongbo said: "In the early years, I still had a little friendship with this Zhuang Moses, I went to Guangxi with Song Ziwen and him to negotiate with Li Baihuang, and he also shouldered a secret mission to observe the relationship between Guangxi and Hunan, this is a talent." ”
"When I went to Chaozhou with Mr. Wang, I was escorted by this Commander Zhuang on the way," Bai Sitong also smiled, but there were two points of loss in his eyes: "More than ten years have passed, but I didn't expect him to be a man of the hour." ”
At the beginning, Zhuang Jihua was just a small major, but he was the secretary of the chairman of the national government, and now he is already a general commander, but he is just a section chief, and the change in status is suffocating.
Zhou Fohai was not interested in these feelings, but the emotions shown by Chen Gongbo and Bai Sitong made him a little uneasy, and he hurriedly interjected: "Chongqing's industrial development is good, and it is also Lao Jiang's support, but can such an industry be compared with Japan?" Old Jiang is really whimsical. ”
"Many places in Chongqing are good, but I feel very bad, rent reduction and interest reduction, exemption from agricultural taxes, free education, these are very good, but identity control, news control, these do not know what they are, a bit like fascism, contrary to the three ** righteousness." Chen Gongbo shook his head and said.
"Isn't that to his teacher's liking?" Bai Sitong smiled and said: "Famous teachers make high apprentices." ”
"Famous teacher, high apprentice;" Zhou Fohai shook his head: "Lao Jiang has already set his sights on him, a senior apprentice, I won't be able to see it for long, and the senior apprentice is probably going to become a prisoner." ”
"What? It can't be. Chen Gongbo was very surprised, others didn't know, but he knew very well that Wang Jingwei had said to him very regretfully that it was a big mistake not to pull Zhuang Jihua over.
Bai Sitong and Gao Zongwu were also surprised, Zhuang Jihua's current reputation is skyrocketing, if the last battle of Xuzhou can barely be counted on Li Zongren, this battle of Yucheng is completely his credit, Bai Chongxi's strategic mistakes led to total passivity, it was his counterattack in Yucheng that turned the tide, annihilating two and a half divisions of the Japanese army in one fell swoop, the hearts of the army and the people were beneficial to him, what did Chiang Kai-shek do to deal with him?
"What's impossible, who knows that he doesn't know how to converge, he doesn't know how to offer Chongqing's industrial hands, and now the domestic ammunition and equipment are provided by Chongqing, besides, the merits are high, with these two, it is impossible for him to retreat with his whole body." Zhou Fohai said with a sneer.
Chen Gongbo shook his head and said: "I'm afraid it's not so easy, Brother Fohai, this master is not so simple, a development company controls the minerals and industries of the three provinces of Yunnan, Guizhou and Sichuan, and a development bank and an industrial and commercial bank control the finance of Yunnan-Guichuan; With the trust of Lao Jiang, and the fierce fight with Liu Xiang and other forces in Sichuan, Liu Xiang, Deng Xihou and other old and treacherous people are willing to hand over the troops to him, how can such a person be easy to deal with, I think this pair of teachers and students will put on a good show at that time. ”
"Oh," Bai Sitong heard this for the first time, and his mind was racing, and he couldn't help but say, "In this way, this student doesn't already have the strength to fight the teacher. ”
Zhou Fohai and Chen Gongbo woke up in shock, no wonder Wang Jingwei said that not pulling Zhuang Jihua over was the biggest mistake, no wonder Chiang Kai-shek was only angry at him after reading the article, and didn't say half a sentence about Zhuang Jihua, weapons, ammunition, and supplementary recruits were still being transported to Yucheng in an endless stream.
"I talked to Mr. Wang, even if you want to take the road of peace, you should be in the area controlled by China, and you need to have the support of local forces, look at the current local forces, Liu Xiang in Sichuan, Li Bai in Guangxi, there are only these two left, Yu Hanmou in Guangdong and He Jian in Hunan have been deprived of their territory, and Liu Xiang and Deng Xihou in Sichuan have been greatly affected by the Zhuang Cultural Revolution, and they are afraid that it will be difficult for them to agree with the road of peace." Chen Gongbo sighed and said worriedly: "This is also the main reason why I advocate that Lao Jiang preside over the peace talks. ”
On this point, Wang Jingwei agreed with Chen Gongbo's opinion, if he had to abandon Chiang Kai-shek, he should also form a new government in the Kuomintang area, and he could not go to the Japanese-occupied area, which would be too much like surrendering to the Japanese. This requires the support of local forces, but if you look around at the local forces, there are Li Bai, Liu Xiang, Yan Xishan, and only Liu Xiang and Li Bai are left, and judging from their words and deeds, they will not support the road of peace.
Chen Gongbo's question made it difficult for Zhou Fohai to answer, indeed, if he went to the Japanese-occupied area to form a government, this government would definitely be regarded by the Chinese people as a puppet government supported by the Japanese, and the people in the nationalized area would not listen to them at all, and there would be no truce and peace.
"I think, wait a minute, the conditions are not ripe," Zhou Fohai finally admitted that Chen Gongbo and Bai Sitong's opinions were correct, but he was very confident: "When that pair of teachers and students fight and pull Zhuang Wenge over, the matter will be more than half." ”
After chatting for a while, Bai Sitong got up to say goodbye, Chen Gongbo also got up and said goodbye to Gao Zongwu, but Zhou Fohai did not move, and after they left, Zhou Fohai said to Gao Zongwu: "You go to Chongqing immediately and tell Mr. that other forces in the Middle Ages are unreliable, and only by using the power of the Japanese can Chiang Kai-shek be ousted from power. ”
"But Minister Chen's opinion is also very right," Gao Zongwu was a little distressed: "Without the support of local forces, we will not be able to stand in the national control area at all, how can we establish a government?" Go to the Japanese-occupied areas to establish a puppet government? This is absolutely not a no-go. ”
"Hmph, haven't you heard, they're going to fight, I don't believe it, Zhuang Wenge will obediently hand over the industrial system he worked so hard to create to Lao Jiang." Zhou Fohai sneered and said, "Even if they don't fight, we have to let them fight." ”
Gao Zongwu looked at Zhou Fohai and nodded: "I'll leave tomorrow, anyway, no official is light." ”
"Okay," Zhou Fohai looked at the watch on his wrist: "Tomorrow there is a plane in the Air Force going to Chongqing, I will help you contact you, you will take this plane over, and have a good Lantern Festival with your wife and members." Remember, you can't miss it. ”
The next day, Gao Zongwu went to the airport early in the morning, but he didn't expect that there was a familiar person waiting for the plane at the airport, Mei Siping, his fellow Wenzhou countryman, and the current member of the Central Legislative Committee of the Kuomintang.
After a while, five or six officers came over and boarded the plane, and Gao Zongwu saw an acquaintance, Yu Dawei of the Commission of Science, Technology and Industry for National Defense.
Gao Zongwu knew Yu Dawei because they were both members of the Resources Committee, Gao Zongwu was a member of the Foreign Affairs Committee of the Resources Committee, Yu Dawei had been in charge of purchasing munitions in Europe before returning to China, and he knew more about European countries, so he briefly helped in the Foreign Affairs Committee, so the two knew each other, but Yu Dawei then served as the director of the Commission of Science, Technology and Industry for National Defense, and the two never met again.
"Brother Yu, who are you?"
"Go back to Chongqing," Yu Dawei saw Gao Zongwu smile slightly, and hurriedly sat aside.
Gao Zongwu looked at several officers around him and felt that these officers were not like officers, all of them were polite and polite, and most of them wore glasses.
"These are the elites of our Commission of Science, Technology and Industry for National Defense, who came back from studying in Britain, the United States and France, and this Chief Engineer Yan is an engine expert who came back from Germany, and once worked as a chief engineer at Krupp. This Zhao Gong came back from the United Kingdom, and the material science expert ,..."
Yu Dawei introduced Gao Zongwu one by one, Gao Zongwu was stunned, but he didn't expect that he really came back from abroad, and the people who were introduced all bowed slightly and greeted Gao Zongwu.
"What are you?" Gao Zongwu was still a little puzzled, he knew about the Commission of Science, Technology and Industry for National Defense, and the Commission of Science, Technology and Industry for National Defense was not a secret to high-level people, but lower-level officials and ordinary people did not know about it at all, and the newspapers never reported it, and the news censorship organs blocked all news involving the Commission of Science, Technology and Industry for National Defense.
"Just like you, go back to Chongqing." It could be seen that Yu Dawei was in a good mood, and he patted the cabin wall: "Director Gao, I'm afraid you will be able to take our own plane next time." ”
Gao Zongwu was stunned, what do you mean by his own plane?
