Wang Jingwei looked at him and said solemnly: "At the beginning, the Eastern Crusade was imminent, and the prime minister was not in Guangzhou, in order to avoid turmoil in the political situation in Guangzhou, the prime minister said that; In fact, the prime minister admired your proposal very much, and he said at that time that it was a very far-sighted proposal, and before his old man died, he told me that after driving out Chen Jiongming, he could set up a national political axe. ”

Zhuang Jihua suddenly realized in his heart why Wang Jingwei came here, with Yang Ximin's actions, the Generalissimo Mansion in Guangzhou must have understood that the rebellion was just around the corner, Wang Jingwei's thoughts should be farther, he was thinking about the establishment of the national political axe after the counterinsurgency, he immediately remembered Wang Jingwei and Chen Bijun's strange smiles just now, he felt a burst of amusement in his heart, he went around in such a big circle, it turned out that he was canvassing for votes, and he let himself be in a hurry, it was really not worth it.

After finding the answer, Zhuang Jihua's eyes showed a trace of excitement, but he quickly hid it, but he did not escape Bai Sitong, who had been paying attention to him, Bai Sitong knew a little about this matter, and he didn't know what the party thought about this article, so he didn't have many scruples now.

"Mr. Wang, are you planning to propose to the central government the establishment of a national political axe?" Bai Sitong asked.

"I am afraid that this question is not a suggestion, and the development of the revolution has reached the point where we need to establish a national political axe. Why, prudently, you don't approve? Chen Bijun asked calmly, Wang Jingwei was hiding it very hard this time, except for Chen Bijun, even his secretary didn't know his true purpose.

"No, madam, I am not opposed to the establishment of a new political axe, but I feel that our power is a little smaller, and it would be nice if we could take down Guangxi and Fujian. Will Advisor Bao support it? Bai Sitong explained that as Wang Jingwei's secretary, he often met with Borodin in Yanjing and did not hear his words about the establishment of the national political axe. And Borodin, as the political general adviser of the Generalissimo's Office, could not have done such a thing without consulting him.

At this time, there was a gust of wind blowing on the river, Chen Bijun couldn't help shrinking his body, feeling a little cold, Wang Jingwei saw this and took off his coat and put it on her, Chen Bijun shook his head and said: "You put it on, your body is not as good as mine, don't get sick anymore." Then he turned to the guards beside him and said, "Go to the room, I have a dark red coat in my box, bring it to me, and a black twill coat in the box on the left, bring it too." ”

The guard said yes and left, and then she said, "Leave Advisor Bao alone, we have to have an idea ourselves." Although our territory is small, our strength is not small, and we already have more than half of Guangdong, and when the prime minister was a very large president, there was no such large territory. ”

"Cultural Revolution, what do you think?" Wang Jingwei saw that Zhuang Jihua did not speak, so he wanted to hear his opinion.

"Of course, I advocate the establishment of a political axe."

In fact, Wang Jingwei asked the question of strength, not the question of whether it should be established; Zhuang Jihua secretly changed his thoughts. After he figured out the purpose of Wang Jingwei's trip, his interest in this conversation had greatly decreased, but when Wang Jingwei came to the door, he had no choice but to deal with it.

"I'm asking Shen Zhi what he said, should we take Guangxi and Fujian before establishing a political axe?" Wang Jingwei frowned slightly, obviously he was a little dissatisfied with Zhuang Jihua's words. Chen Bijun raised his eyebrows and said:

"Cultural Revolution, don't be bitten by a snake once, just be a turtle with a shrunken head; That's not manly behavior. ”

Zhuang Jihua couldn't help but smile bitterly when he heard this, this Chen Bijun is too straightforward to speak, the whole man is a man, no wonder Wang Jingwei has a wife and is strict.

"Madame said yes, but it is easy to dodge with open guns, but it is difficult to guard against hidden arrows; I can't help it. ”

Chen Bijun snorted disdainfully: "What's the big deal, isn't it just slander, I'm even afraid of this, what kind of life, go home as soon as possible, and die in bed." ”

"Mrs. Wang is really a heroine among women, and she is arrogant and does not let her eyebrows be admired."

Hearing Zhuang Jihua's words and looking at Chen Bijun's appearance, Wang Jingwei smiled lightly, and his heart felt warm, as if he saw the girl who tore her passport to shreds in public.

"Well, with our current strength, it is more than enough to set up a political axe, Guangxi can actually be regarded as having been taken, Li Zongren and Huang Shaohong have already expressed their obedience to the command of the Generalissimo's Mansion, and with Li Huang's assistance, Guangxi can be pacified; As for Fujian, now that the opportunity has not arrived, it is better not to touch it for the time being, because Fujian is Sun Chuanfang's territory, and Sun Chuanfang has two provinces of Fujian and Zhejiang. ”

At this time, the guard brought the clothes, Zhuang Jihua stopped, and the guard said, "Madam, do you think these are these two?" Chen Bijun nodded, then stood up, picked up the coat from the guard's hand and put it on Wang Jingwei, and then picked up the coat, and didn't put it on, just put it on his body.

"The establishment of the political axe is mainly a political need, the people of all walks of life in the country are extremely disappointed with the Beiyang political axe, they have long wanted to overthrow this political axe, and they are eager to have a new political axe that can save China from danger, and we set up the political axe to tell the people that we will assume this responsibility. Then we will carry out social reform in Guangdong and renovate Guangdong society, so that we will naturally win in the competition of people's hearts and minds, and then we will transform this political victory into a military victory. ”

"Secondly, the establishment of the political axe can put economic and diplomatic pressure on the Beiyang political axe, for example, we can inform the ambassadors of various countries that since the establishment of the political axe, all the foreign debts borrowed by the Beiyang political axe will not be recognized by the political axe; In this way, if the powers want to lend money to the Beiyang political axe, they have to consider whether they can recover it, and it is not so easy for the Beiyang political axe to borrow money. ”

"In the end, the establishment of a political axe can solve many problems that cannot be solved under the current system, because the Generalissimo's Office cannot make laws, but the political axe must make laws, so we can use laws to solve some of the current problems."

These words are not surprising, some of the points he has already expounded in the article, but at this time I just repeat it, some are not, in the end, although Zhuang Jihua did not clearly explain what the current problems are, but Wang Jingwei understands, Chen Bijun also understands, but Bai Sitong does not understand.

"The current problem? What problems does Major Zhuang think need to be solved by law? ”

Zhuang Jihua was a little embarrassed, considering Bai Sitong's identity, this question is not easy to answer directly. He couldn't help but look at Wang Jingwei and Chen Bijun, but saw that the two of them were also looking at him with interest, and he couldn't help but move in his heart, if Wang Jingwei could listen to it, if he had a high enough status in the political axe in the future, then could he come forward to formulate the law? Is this possible? Zhuang Jihua decided to give it a try.

"Brother Bai is a member of the cross-party party, right?" Zhuang Jihua didn't plan to avoid it.

Bai Si was stunned for a moment, and then understood that the problem Zhuang Jihua said must be related to the relationship between the two parties, and his expression became solemn. He did not deny it, Wang Jingwei and his wife knew about it.

Hearing Zhuang Jihua's question, Wang Jingwei and Chen Bijun exchanged glances, the two smiled knowingly, and Chen Bijun's eyes flashed with some appreciation.

"Now there are some contradictions between the Kuomintang and [***], which are mainly reflected in how to deal with the workers' and peasants' movement; Specifically, it is the treatment of workers in the cities and the land issue in the countryside; According to the experience of Soviet Russia, the land of the landlords and rich peasants should be confiscated from the countryside and then distributed to the landless peasants; In the cities, factories should be nationalized. This contradicts the Kuomintang's position. ”

"But [***] didn't insist on this strategy." Bai Sitong defended, and then said with some excitement: "Didn't Soviet Russia quickly transform from a weak country to a strong country when it adopted this method?" Isn't this true, the prime minister said that with Russia as a teacher, we can certainly practice Russian law. ”

"Don't worry, listen to me slowly." Zhuang Jihua signaled him not to get excited: "I can't say that way is better, the problem now is that there are differences between the Kuomintang and the Communist Party, and with the development of the revolution, this difference will become bigger and bigger, which will inevitably have a bad impact on the cooperation between the two parties, if we don't want to solve this contradiction now, then the contradictions will gather more and more, and eventually I am worried that the cooperation between the Kuomintang and the Communist Party will be completely broken." ”

"No, we can fight against those rightists and drive them out of the revolutionary camp once and for all, and I believe that the majority of the Kuomintang agrees." Bai Sitong clearly disagrees with the prospects depicted by Zhuang Jihua.

"Brother Bai, the root of this disagreement is the difference between the theories of the two parties, not a human problem, you want to completely eliminate this disagreement, unless you combine the theory of Sanming Cooking Righteousness and the [***] theory into one, can you do it?" Zhuang Jihua asked rhetorically.

"The prime minister said that there is no contradiction between Sanming and [***]." Bai Sitong did not admit defeat easily, but Wang Jingwei and Chen Bijun knew that he was arguing, because there was no difference between contradictions and differences.

Sure enough, Zhuang Jihua said calmly, "Similarity and the same, after all, there is a difference, Brother Bai, I am not discussing that kind of doctrine with you, I don't have that ability, what I am saying is just the facts, in fact, there are differences, and it is this difference that leads to a lot of contradictions." ”

Zhuang Jihua swallowed his saliva and said: "For example, workers go on strike, and farmers resist rent and taxes; The understanding of the two parties is different about this kind of thing, Brother Bai, I don't need to talk about the difference in their understanding. ”

"In that case, how to solve it? I thought that the solution with a law, for example, [***] could push the political axe to make a law to protect the workers, and it could also push for the law to protect the peasants; Some people oppose strikes, thinking that more strikes will affect fiscal revenues, so well, you can formulate a strike management regulation, such as allowing you to strike before you can strike, otherwise the strike is illegal. ”

Hearing this, the three of them looked at Zhuang Jihua like a monster, only if they approve a strike, who will approve a strike? Bai Sitong mockingly said:

"Brother Zhuang, this is a bit unbelievable, approve the strike, what if I don't approve it all the time? Isn't it just not going to strike? ”

"I'm just giving an example, in fact, as long as the system is well designed, it is impossible not to approve it." Zhuang Jihua ignored Bai Sitong's ridicule: "For example, if the political axe does not approve the strike, then the political axe must send someone to adjust, and if the adjustment fails within the specified time, the strike will be automatically approved and no other application will be made; In this way, the workers can still go on strike. Don't you say? ”

As soon as these words came out, the smiles of the three of them froze at the same time, but Zhuang Jihua pretended not to see it and continued:

"As a political axe, it is the duty to protect the property of every citizen, and you cannot say that he is a landlord and can confiscate his property at will, because today you can confiscate the property of the landlord at will, then in the future you can also confiscate the property of the peasants at will; This makes no one feel safe. So how can we help farmers in rural areas? I thought it was feasible to use the law to set a maximum rent, but in fact, this method was implemented by your party leader Peng Pai in Hailufeng. The same can be done with usury. ”

"The highest ground rent? How high is it? Wang Jingwei asked, he was born in a scholarly family and did not know much about farmers.

"I estimate that 40 to 50 percent is more appropriate, and the specific amount needs to be investigated."

Wang Jingwei listened thoughtfully, he has been working in the party center for a long time, and has a clear understanding of the current differences between the Kuomintang and [***], the Kuomintang needs Soviet and Russian funds and weapons and equipment, so although they are very disgusted by the frequent strikes in Guangzhou, but because they know that this is [***] behind the push, they also have to tolerate it, like Liao Zhongkai once told him helplessly that there are striking workers in front of the provincial government axe gate almost every day to demonstrate. However, this kind of tolerance has caused more and more controversy within the Kuomintang, and Hu Hanmin is a clear example; he was originally in favor of the three major policies and supported the premier's reorganization of the Kuomintang, but now his stance has also changed, and there are still many people in the party who are the same as him, such as Dai Jitao, Wu Zhihui, and so on. I don't know if what Zhuang Jihua said has any effect, if he can be successfully elected, maybe he can try.
