Kong Xiangxi, Song Ziwen, Wu Tiecheng, and Dai Li were all busy summoning their people for a meeting, Song Meiling sat down and asked Liu Yimin to pour water for her, saying that she flew from Chongqing to Hunan, and flew here from Hunan, and ran around all night, hungry and thirsty.

Only then did Liu Yimin know that Cai Zhong and they didn't let Song Meiling have breakfast. It seems that his comrades-in-arms really didn't take Madam Jiang seriously, and even the most basic etiquette was waived. Thinking about it again, Ni Hua didn't have breakfast either. That girl didn't see herself on the dock to pick it up, and she was in a bad mood, so she didn't eat until now!

Whether it is a political struggle or a military struggle, it cannot conceal the brilliance of human nature. This is a characteristic of Liu Yimin that surpasses many people in this era.

Liu Yimin hurriedly called Li Xiaoshuai to go to coffee, and then sent someone to drive to the best Western restaurant in the French Concession to buy fresh milk, French bread, and veal steak, and buy a few more copies, including Kong Xiangxi and Song Ziwen, one for each of their attachés, and whispered to Li Xiaoshuai to send some milk to Ni Hua and Han Qing.

After explaining, Liu Yimin personally gave Song Meiling a cup of tea, and said apologetically: "Madam, I'm sorry, I was negligent, I was so busy that I forgot to entertain you for dinner." If this gets out, it's a joke! Come, drink a glass of water first, breakfast will be there soon. I'll take time to accompany you to a French dinner at noon. ”

Song Meiling is indeed a strange woman during the Republic of China (). Her charm not only won Chiang Kai-shek, but also won the love of the Chinese Air Force officers, and the Yankees also admired him. Of course, such a woman. She is not a little girl as pure as a blank sheet of paper, she has her own pursuits and the skills necessary to achieve her goals. Otherwise, Chiang Kai-shek would not have loved her so much.

Speaking of which, none of the three Song sisters is simple.

Before Liu Yimin's crossing, China's political life was already very stable. After people calmed down from the hustle and bustle of the Cultural Revolution, they were already looking at historical figures with a rational eye. Women like Song Meiling, who have won praise all over the world, have naturally restored their original face of history and regained people's respect. Liu Yimin doesn't look at anything else. Just looking at the fact that Song Meiling was able to personally go to the front line to send ammunition to the troops and encourage the soldiers during the Wuhan battle, he respected Song Meiling very much. Although she is Chiang Kai-shek's wife, she still wants to break up herself and Ni Hua wholeheartedly.

Looking at Song Meiling, who was wearing a black cheongsam and was graceful and luxurious, Liu Yimin suddenly remembered that Song Meiling had an affair with US envoy Wilkie that circulated on the Internet, and it was already the eve of the Japanese army's attack on Southeast Asia. In less than two months, Japan and the United States will go to war, and Wilkie is afraid that he will come to China as a special envoy of the President of the United States, and I don't know if the bad thing between Wilkie and Soong Meiling will really happen.

When he thought of this, Liu Yimin suddenly felt that he was dirty. Why do you suddenly remember such a thing?

Song Meiling didn't know what Liu Yimin was thinking. After taking two sips of tea, he said seriously: "General Liu, when I came, the chairman said that you are the most outstanding general in China now. They have a strong sense of the overall situation and have a relatively accurate grasp of the course of the war. Chairman Chiang asked me to tell you. It was normal for the Eighth Route Army to evacuate Shanghai, but it was necessary to grasp the timing of the evacuation. It is best to give the Japanese army rushing to Shanghai a head-on blow. Inflict heavy losses on the Japanese invaders, and then calmly evacuate. Chairman Chiang also said, "If I want to tell you the truth, the Changsha front was not fought very well this time, because we fell for the Japanese army, misjudged that the direction of the Japanese army's attack was in northern Jiangxi, and was caught off guard by the Japanese army in northern Hunan. Before I came, the Japanese army had already broken through the second line of defense of the Xinqiang River, and it was unstoppable. If it weren't for the fact that you led your troops to capture Shanghai, Changsha would not have been able to keep it this time. ”

This is more realistic, and it is purely a heart-to-heart conversation.

Song Meiling held the teacup in her hand, took another sip, and continued: "If you just said, you have to evacuate tonight, then Shanghai will become an empty city." I'm a woman, and I don't know anything about war, but I think what Secretary Wu Tiecheng said just now is right, as soon as you withdraw at this time, the remnants of the Japanese army will inevitably find out, and the Japanese army will get information. In this way, the 11th Army, which was marching towards Changsha, probably not withdraws its troops, and may launch a more fierce attack. The results of the capture of Shanghai will be shortened, and it will no longer be able to play the role of mobilizing the Japanese army. ”

This is all the truth, and as soon as Liu Yimin heard that the troops of the Third Theater would not enter and occupy Shanghai, his heart was cold, and this was one of the main reasons.

After Song Meiling finished speaking, a pair of beautiful eyes stared at Liu Yimin, full of hope.

Liu Yimin sighed and said, "The Third War Zone should send troops to Shanghai. Chairman Chiang only saw that Shanghai might be surrounded by the Japanese army, but did not see the strong impact of the return to Shanghai on the people of Shanghai. It's too late to say that now. I estimate that the Japanese army will soon launch an air raid on Shanghai, and the test of blood and fire will begin. Tonight, the Great Army must retreat. By tomorrow, the Japanese fleet would arrive and blockade the mouth of the Yangtze River. The troops could not withdraw if they wanted to. I could only fight guerrillas in the Beijing-Shanghai-Hangzhou triangle. This place is a water network area, which is not conducive to the mobility of troops, and it is easy to fall into the ambush circle of the Japanese army. Moreover, once they withdraw here, the Japanese army will follow one after another, and a big battle will be fought in the Beijing-Shanghai-Hangzhou area. If our army wants to gain a foothold in this region, it will not be able to establish a stable base area without half a year's effort. Without a base area, the small guerrilla units are okay, but our main force cannot survive at all, and can only become rootless and drift back and forth until it is exhausted. ”

As soon as she heard that Liu Yimin might withdraw to the Beijing-Shanghai-Hangzhou region, and even establish a base here, Song Meiling panicked. Just drove away Ye Ting and Xiang Ying, and then another Liu Yimin, it was a wolf at the front door, and a tiger at the back door, absolutely unacceptable! This Beijing, Shanghai and Hangzhou are not as good as southern Anhui, and they are the traditional power centers of the world, and they cannot be interfered with. Don't listen to what Liu Yimin said pitiful, what has no basis is rootless and the like, it's all a lie. Let him guerrilla here. I'm afraid it won't be long before the ** forces are squeezed out again. Liu Yimin is much more powerful than Ye Ting and Xiang Ying!

Song Meiling immediately said that the Eighth Route Army could not retreat to the Beijing-Shanghai-Hangzhou area, and the Military Commission had a clear order. The Eighth Route Army and the New Fourth Army fought in the area north of the Yellow River. Liu Yimin can't resist military orders and government orders, that is to undermine unity and resist the war.

Liu Yimin spread his hands, made a helpless posture, and stopped talking ().

Song Meiling knew that she was in trouble as a strongman, and she also knew that Liu Yimin could also see Chiang Kai-shek's deep meaning, but she believed that Chiang Kai-shek's sentence was that Liu Yimin was the most concerned about the overall situation among the first-class generals, and he was bent on resisting the war. Therefore. Song Meiling changed her account, saying that since the large army could not be withdrawn, could she try to deceive the Japanese army and transfer the Japanese 11th Army back to Shanghai. Buy time for the Ninth Theater to adjust its deployment.

Liu Yimin likes to hear this, in fact, he is already thinking about it.

It just so happened that Li Xiaoshuai and they prepared breakfast, and Liu Yimin beckoned Song Meiling to eat. Wait for Song Meiling to finish eating, wash your hands well. Liu Yimin accompanied her to see how the meeting between Kong Xiangxi and Song Ziwen wen.

This was an emergency meeting, co-chaired by Kong Xiangxi and Song Ziwen, and attended by Qian Yongming, Zhang Jiaxuan, Xu Kan, Chen Xing, Zhou Peizhen, Gu Yiqun, Xu Jizhuang, Dai Zhiqian, Zhou Shouliang, Huo Baoshu, Guo Jingkun, Zhao Zhongxuan, Zhang Yan, Dai Mingli, and Xu Baiyuan, important officials of the Ministry of Finance and the four major banks of the Central Committee, China, Communications, and Peasants.

When Liu Yimin and Song Meiling came in, Kong Xiangxi and Song Ziwen were sitting on the main seat and eating!

Maybe I'm too hungry. These two Chiang Kai-shek's money bags and the God of Wealth didn't care about their image, and as soon as breakfast was brought in. interrupted the speech and ate directly.

Song Meiling's beautiful eyes swept away. Seeing Kong Xiangxi's round face stained with bread crumbs, he laughed out loud. With her smile, the tense atmosphere in the room eased, and everyone attending the meeting hurriedly got up and asked, "Hello, ma'am!" ”

After Kong Xiangxi finished eating, he took out the handkerchief in his pocket and wiped the bread crumbs on his mouth and face, and laughed at himself: "I can't imagine that my dignified executive director also has a hungry stomach!" I have to warn Ni Hua when I go back, the man she is looking for is not authentic, and he actually makes her cousin-in-law and cousin hungry. This account will have to be calculated in a good way. ”

Kong Xiangxi has been working for so many years, that is the essence of people, he deliberately created an atmosphere, that is, he wanted to pull Liu Yimin into the circle of relatives and use family affection to trap Liu Yimin. After all, Shanghai is in the hands of the Eighth Route Army, and they have no soldiers and no generals. Thinking about Chiang Kai-shek's methods of dealing with ** people, Kong Xiangxi knew that no matter how good he said, it was useless, and the Eighth Route Army would turn its face at any time. Chiang Kai-shek owed too much blood debt. And several of them are Chiang Kai-shek's closest and most loyal people, and if they grab one of them, they can knock Chiang Kai-shek hard. To put it bluntly, the reason why Chiang Kai-shek dared to send his wife and a few of them so reassuringly relied on ** insisting on unity in the War of Resistance, and also relied on the relationship between Ni Hua and Liu Yimin's wife. If it weren't for this, I'm afraid that Chiang Kai-shek wouldn't have wanted the assets of the four major banks in Shanghai, and he wouldn't have sent them. Because, Chiang Kai-shek himself is sabotaging the unity of the War of Resistance and constantly suppressing **.

Kong Xiangxi's remark is also telling the responsible people of the four major banks participating in the meeting that there is no problem with the transfer of assets with confidence.

Liu Yimin didn't have time to play haha with Kong Xiangxi, and he didn't want to play haha with him, so he hurriedly asked if the arrangement had been made.

Kong Xiangxi said that arrangements have been made, and the deposits that need to be cashed will be handled by the Bank of the United States and Britain, and all the funds in stock and account books will be transferred. Now there are three things to do, one is to ask the Eighth Route Army to send a guard unit to be responsible for the safety of the transfer to the airport, and arrange vehicles to assist in the transfer. Another thing was to ask my wife to urgently make an appointment with the Anglo-American and French consuls in Shanghai and ask the concession authorities to let her go. The third thing is to pay a special pension of 2,000 yuan to the staff who died in the bloody battle of the bank, and a relief payment of 500 yuan to the injured clerk.

Liu Yimin immediately called Gao Yuan and ordered a battalion and vehicles to be dispatched to assist the four major banks in transporting assets.

After the arrangements were made here, Kong Xiangxi and Song Ziwen rushed to the central bank to take command.

The evacuation of the four major banks from Shanghai began.

Song Meiling and Liu Yimin met with the U.S. Consul General in Shanghai, Rohed, and the British and French Consul Generals in the conference room of the China Merchants Building.

Three of the Big Four banks have now moved to the French Concession, and the only central bank in the Anglo-American-controlled Public Concession is the central bank.

Originally, the British and American consuls general in Shanghai had already received telegrams from US Ambassador Goth and British Ambassador Carr, and should be ready to cooperate with the Chinese to evacuate the assets of the Bank of Shanghai. However, what Song Meiling didn't expect was that as soon as they met, the three consul generals in suits and leather shoes, dressed like gentlemen, all protested in unison.

The consuls of the United States and Britain protested against the forced entry of the Eighth Route Army into the public concession and the seizure and confiscation of the assets, factories, and shops of various Japanese-funded banks, and even the seizure of German banks. The two consuls general said that the actions of the Eighth Route Army trampled on the sacred law and undermined the credibility of the public concession.

The French consul protested even more fiercely, saying that the Eighth Route Army had openly entered the French Concession where the Japanese troops were stationed in Meiyu, threatened the patrol houses of the French Concession with force, and openly arrested Japanese nationals and Wang Jingwei government employees in the French Concession, thus affecting the order of the French Concession.

Song Meiling glanced at Liu Yimin and said, "General Liu, it seems that you don't have the right to destroy the relationship with Anglo-American-French?" ”

Liu Yimin had been looking at the three consul generals with a smile, and when he heard Song Meiling's inquiry, he hurriedly said "no, no" in English.

Liu Yimin's explanation is that what China and Japan are now engaged in is a life-and-death war that has a bearing on the life and death of the two countries and two nations, and that the Japanese are the enemy, and that there is nothing to discuss. Everything that the Japanese had was confiscated. Not to mention the banks, the clothes on the Japanese and the shoes on their feet are all trophies that should be seized. Our army invaded Shanghai, and even the commander and chief of staff of the 13th Army of the Japanese army were captured, and what banks, shops, and factories were there? That's all! This is just like the Japanese army wantonly burned down the cities, market towns, villages, and houses of the Chinese on Chinese soil, and the blame was only on the squadron for not being able to defeat the Japanese army. Now that our army has defeated the Japanese army in Shanghai, it is natural to completely confiscate all Japanese assets. As for the Eighth Route Army breaking the law and trampling on the credibility of the public concession, that is not a thing. The Eighth Route Army did not rely on force to forcibly enter the central area controlled by Britain and the United States in the public concession, nor did it exchange fire with the American army, because because the United States and Britain supported China's War of Resistance against Japan, the Eighth Route Army was only willing to make more friends and resist fascism together, and would not destroy the Great Wall. Besides, the sovereignty of the public concession belongs to China, and Britain and the United States are only leased. The squadron is rightly trying to find and eliminate the intelligence agents of the Japanese army lurking in the concession on their own land. You don't have to consult with anyone.

Song Meiling, who listened to it, pursed her lips and smiled, and when she didn't pay attention, the white silk shawl draped over her shoulders slipped off.
