Section 1 The Gaze of an American Journalist VIII
Feng Yi didn't answer directly, he took a sip of tea from the tea bowl, put the tea bowl firmly on the table, and then looked at Xiong Shihui and said, "If that's the case, then it's troublesome." \\。 ”
"yes." Xiong Shihui sighed, he was a little disappointed, Feng Yi's tone showed that Zhuang Jihua was helpless about it, he thought that Zhuang Jihua could come up with a way, but he didn't expect that Zhuang Jihua also had no way.
"If we use force to kick them out......" Xiong asked tentatively.
"But if we counterattack by force, it will inevitably lead to a complete breakdown in the relationship between the two parties, and the troops in North China, Shandong, Shaanxi, and Henan are weak, and they will not be able to resist the attack of the Eighth Route Army at all." Feng Wei shook his head and said.
Xiong Shihui also agreed with silence, the Kuomintang army only had two armies of Tang Enbo's 31st Group Army in North China, only Wang Yaowu's 74th Army in Shandong, Henan had no regular troops, and Shaanxi only had two B divisions, and the main force was partly transferred to Xinjiang and partly to Ménggu; Yan Xishan in Shanxi suffered serious losses in the Anti-Japanese War, the Jin army was seriously weakened, and a main force was still in Ménggu, and half of the entire Shanxi was controlled by the New Fourth Army of the Eighth Route Army.
Relatively speaking, the situation on the ** side was far more favorable than that of the Kuomintang, but the main force of the New Fourth Army of the Eighth Route Army still remained in the base area, especially after the end of the Battle of North China, the New Fourth Army of the Eighth Route Army quickly retreated to the base areas of Hebei, Luyu, Jinchaji and Shanxi, leaving only ** to lead the troops transferred from various places to Rehe with the number of the New 11th Army, Tǐng, preparing to enter the northeast. Chen Geng's unit, which was nominally in the Northeast Theater combat sequence, has now also entered Rehe, joined the ** unit, and joined the ** unit, so that the total strength of the ** unit has reached 90,000 people.
Xiong Shihui looked at Feng Yi, who was a little worried, and suddenly had doubts in his heart, this guy wouldn't be intimidating me, Zhuang Jihua has always had a good relationship with **, ** will not give him face like this, and blatantly grab the territory? Zhuang Jihua can't help it? At the beginning, he dared to threaten to go to war and ask **jiāo to come out of Hao Pengju, but now he doesn't have the guts?
Not busy, Xiong Shihui decided to sit firmly on the Diaoyutai first and see how Feng Yi, or Zhuang Jihua, made a move.
Thinking of this, Xiong Shihui took a sip of tea from his tea bowl, then lit another cigarette and chōu unhurriedly. Feng Yi saw Xiong Shihui's actions in his eyes, and secretly scolded the old fox in his heart.
Xiong Shihui retracted his head, Feng Yi was really a little difficult to handle. This duke has been in the civil and political circles for more than 20 years, from a small company commander to a prince, he has already been tempered into a jīng steel bone, and there are few flaws. Feng Yi's mind turned sharply, and he decided to stab this old guy from a different angle, he also lit a cigarette, and said slowly: "The victory of the Anti-Japanese War is just around the corner, but the domestic affairs are complicated, and there is no reduction in the slightest from before the Anti-Japanese War. ”
Xiong Shihui hesitated, a little confused, Feng Yi suddenly changed the topic, he must have some idea, he secretly raised his vigilance. This time I came to the theater headquarters, mainly because I wanted to exchange views with Zhuang Jihua, Zhuang Jihua wanted to get involved in the Northeast, why didn't he want to get involved in the Northeast Theater? The wind and rain of more than 20 years have made him understand a truth, he must get involved in the army. In the Northeast, if Zhuang Jihua wants to fight with him for power, he is almost powerless to resist, so he wants to gain a foothold in the Northeast, and if he wants to make a difference, he must get Zhuang Jihua's support.
Chiang Kai-shek also told him that the Northeast Theater was dominated by Whampoa generals, and Zhuang Jihua had a very high prestige among these Whampoa generals, but Du Yuming, Song Xilian, Fan Hanjie, Qiu Qingquan, and these people did not completely listen to him, and they could all fight for it, but Xiong Shihui felt from Chiang Kai-shek's tone that his confidence was insufficient.
Xiong Shihui was very surprised by this feeling, but he didn't dare to ask at the time, but this question has been haunting his mind these days, and he didn't figure it out until recently.
Chiang Kai-shek was very jealous of Zhuang Jihua, and he wanted to remove him very much, but he couldn't. First of all, Zhuang Jihua has no traces, and is doing his best to eliminate the Japanese, and has a very high prestige in the army. The army that came out of the southwest, the 49th Group Army, the 112th Army and the 60th Army of the New Eighth Army, was almost single-handedly established, and he commanded most of the generals of the Whampoa system, and was the most prestigious general in the Whampoa system.
In addition to the military, Zhuang Jihua's influence in political and economic circles is also not trivial, and the social reforms he promoted have been recognized by the Kuomintang from top to bottom.
In the industrial and commercial circles, Zhuang Jihua's influence is even deeper, and almost all the industrial and commercial enterprises in the southwest are supported by the Industrial and Commercial Bank of China and the Sichuan Development Bank, and the financial crisis of the relocated factories is also overcome with the support of these two banks.
Xiong Shihui thought of these in the electric light, he looked at Feng Yi with a worried face, and said in his heart that this was also his biggest reliance on sitting firmly on Mount Tai. "Chongqing is a terrible mess," Xiong Shihui said with a wry smile: "The chairman of the committee is also very worried, ** Deng Yanda is preaching what kind of people are chalk lords everywhere, and there are many people in my party who echo it, making people scattered, I am afraid it is not the blessing of the country." ”
Feng Yi also sighed and echoed: "Yes, the chalk master, our party's three chalk doctrines also say that they want the chalk master, but whether the chalk master is implemented now or in the future, no one can see clearly." ”
"That's the case, Brother Impermanence," Xiong Shihui nodded approvingly: "Now the first thing we have to do is to eliminate the Japanese and build the country, in my opinion, what kind of chalk lord they preach is just a copy of the autonomy of the provinces in the past, and find an excuse for them to implement warlord secession." ”
This argument was propagated by the Central Daily, but it had a great market among ordinary people, and according to Chiang Kai-shek's theory, the first thing to do was to complete the unification of military orders and government decrees, and without the unification of military orders and government orders, there would be no national unity, and the country was still in the midst of warlord war.
Xinhua Ribao resolutely refuted this theory, holding that there must be a state first, and then there should be a national army, and that the current national revolutionary army is nothing but the party army of the Kuomintang, not a national army at all, and that the current army must be transformed into a real national army. The key to the country lies in the constitution, which must be discussed and approved by all regions and strata of the country, and then elections must be held in accordance with the constitution.
Around this, the two sides engaged in a polemic in Chongqing, with the participation of the newly formed Social Democratic Party and the Democratic League, and the Chongqing press became very lively.
Feng Yi is not interested in any chalk master, what he has to do now is to help Zhuang Jihua take down Xiong Shihui, let Xiong Shihui appoint personnel according to Zhuang Jihua's will, and implement the policy according to Zhuang Jihua's will. "They quarrel with them, we don't care," Feng Wei shook his head and smiled: "Our first task is to recover the Northeast." ”
"Brother Impermanence, when does the Cultural Revolution plan to attack?" Xiong Shihui raised a question that he was most concerned about.
Before the summer harvest, Zhuang Jihua did not attack, which everyone understands, and now that the summer harvest is almost over, the attack is naturally on the agenda.
Feng Yi was silent, shook his head slightly, and said, "I don't know very well," Seeing the disappointment on Xiong Shihui's face, he explained: "It's not a secret, no one will tell anyone before the Cultural Revolution has made up its mind, and once it has made up its mind, it will quickly convene a military meeting and then launch it immediately." The reason for this is that he thinks that the awareness of confidentiality is extremely poor, so it can be kept secret. ”
Seeing Xiong Shihui's relieved expression, Feng Yi continued: "However, some clues can still be guessed, my estimate is the end of June and the beginning of July. ”
Xiong Shihui nodded, Feng Yi has been by Zhuang Jihua's side for a long time, although he is not a military general, he doesn't understand the subtleties, but he can figure out some things.
"Brother Impermanence, after recovering the Northeast, you and I will sing on stage, and I hope that my brother will help me a lot." Xiong Shihui suddenly changed his posture again, and lù looked like he was asking for advice.
The landlady came over again, filled the teapot with boiling water, then went back to the room and carried a basket, and greeted Feng Wei with a smile. Feng Yi is now renting here, and he has to pay rent every day.
Feng Yi pondered for a moment and decided to throw something to see the old fox's reaction: "What is the director talking about?" You are the director, I am your deputy, and naturally I should do everything I can to assist you. ”
After finishing speaking, without waiting for Xiong Shihui to be polite, he continued: "In my opinion, social reform is already expected by everyone, and after the recovery of the Northeast, we should still unswervingly implement social reform; In addition, the Northeast Administrative Region, I think it should be adjusted, and it is not possible to continue to retain 19 provinces, which is too much, and it is not possible to restore the three provinces before the 18th of the Nine Quarters, which is a little less. ”
Xiong Shihui listened to his heart and calculated, the implementation of social reform, this is nothing, the whole party and the whole society agree, and he Xiong Shihui will not object; But then he remembered that if social reform was to be implemented, who would he be able to use? No, there are only Zhuang Jihua's people, and Zhuang Jihua, as the founder of social reform, has a say in the administration of the Northeast.
Xiong Shihui was in a dilemma, there were many factions in the Kuomintang, and he Xiong Shihui was no exception, he was the backbone of the Department of Political Science, echoing Yang Yongtai locally, and later the Department of Political Science collapsed, and he was not greatly affected because of the trust of Chiang Kai-shek.
After returning from the United States, he once visited Yang Yongtai, Yang Yongtai once persuaded him not to go to the Northeast, and later saw that it was a foregone conclusion, so he advised him to pay attention to the relationship with Zhuang Jihua, but Yang Yongtai did not know that Chiang Kai-shek had already sent him to the opposite side of Zhuang Jihua.
"Yes, social reform is the general direction, and I support the implementation of social reform in the Northeast." Xiong Shihui wanted to put this issue aside, but he suddenly remembered Chiang Ching-kuo, he had trained a lot of cadres in Chongqing, and he could transfer cadres from him.
"However, I also have an idea for the adjustment of the administrative division of the Northeast," Xiong Shihui said slowly, his eyes were always on Feng Yi's face, Feng Yi's expression was also very focused, this problem seems relatively small, but it is actually very important and critical...
