That night, Zhuang Jihua was sent to Nanjing on the train in Lingding's drunkenness, Xu Enzeng personally greeted him at Nanjing Railway Station, and personally sent him to a small western-style building on Yihe Road, which was lively in Nanjing.

Zhuang Jihua was very popular in Huangpu, and the reorganization of the Sichuan army determined his leadership position among the Huangpu students, and he also had a small reputation among the high-level officials of the national political axe during the Guangzhou period.

The classmates in Nanjing came the next day, followed by Song Xilian and others stationed outside the city, and then Zhang Zhizhong, a teacher from Huangpu. Zhuang Jihua dealt with them one by one, but he was relatively cold to Deng Wenyi, and even showed dissatisfaction, which made Deng Wenyi inexplicable, and he thought about it carefully, he didn't offend him before.

"Deng Wenyi, this kid is too ruthless, he is not soft at all when he kills his classmates, he drank clear soup porridge together and rolled muddy ponds together, why do you have to kill them all." Zhuang Jihua said this deliberately, he knew that these people were sent by Chiang Kai-shek, so he wanted to tell Chiang Kai-shek through their mouths that he still did not approve of [***].

"Cultural Revolution, why bother, the Communist Party was aggressive back then, and it wanted to remove the principal from military power internally, and to cause a war with the foreign powers externally, which was very unfavorable to the revolution, and the principal was also forced to do so." He Jinhan persuaded disappreciatively: "Besides, many years have passed since this incident, didn't you often say that you should look forward, now that the split between the two parties has become a fact, let him pass the past." ”

"How many of the classmates are left? Damn, his kid has to loosen his hands, at least he can live a few more, I'm afraid..., I'm afraid... It's better to be in prison and wait for him to change. Zhuang Jihua began to "use strong words".

"You, you," He Zhenhan smiled: "It's still the same, the Cultural Revolution, don't mix outside, the principal has been talking about you all these years, now the country is worried about internal and external troubles, and the people's livelihood is withering, we Huangpu students should be more sincere and united, continue the revolution under the leadership of the principal, save the country and save the people." ”

"Junshan, you are still so passionate, I can't compare to you, I have been wandering abroad all these years, my heart is lazy, my body is loose, I don't want to eat politics anymore, and...., I have also thought about it over the years, I have to admit that I am not the material for politics, I am not as good as you, Junshan, I will be honest with you, I want to do some business when I return to China this time, make some money, and enjoy life." Many people have said the same things as He Zhenhan, Zhang Zhizhong, Gu Zhutong, Qian Dajun, and Chen Lifu have all said similar things, but Zhuang Jihua does not leak, and every time he blocks back the same words.

Zhuang Jihua eats and drinks well here, but he can't go out at will, so some rumors gradually appeared in Nanjing's political and military circles, and reporters began to appear outside the western-style building, and finally Nanjing's "Minsheng Daily" took the lead in reporting the news of Zhuang Jihua's return to China with "Huangpu Jiaoxiong in the past and now as a prisoner under the steps", and then the Nanjing press surged up, and the report on Zhuang Jihua once again covered the press circles of the Republic of China.

At this time, even Wang Jingwei and Chen Gongbo began to interrogate, and even Zhu Peide, who was far away in Jiangxi, sent a telegram to intercede for Zhuang Jihua, and people in the Huangpu department who did not know the truth, such as Hu Zongnan and Guan Linzheng on the front line, sent telegrams to intercede, and Chiang Kai-shek wanted to make soup on a simmer, and slowly softened Zhuang Jihua's method of making soup. He had to change his plan to persuade Zhuang Jihua in person, and the location was still in the small garden of Huangpu Road, and the accompanying guests replaced Deng Wenyi with Song Xilian in addition to He Jinhan, Yu Jishi, and Zeng Guangqing.

When Chiang Kai-shek and Song Meiling came in, Zhuang Jihua was chatting in the garden accompanied by the four of them, and when he saw Chiang Kai-shek, Zhuang Jihua subconsciously stood up and greeted: "Hello principal," and then looked at Song Meiling: "This is my wife, my wife is good." ”

"Sit down." Chiang Kai-shek made a gesture calmly, and then sat on the rattan chair on the side, and Soong Meiling also sat beside him.

"Deng Yanda you let go?" Chiang Kai-shek asked, he didn't want to beat around the bush with Zhuang Jihua today, and he also figured out in the past few days that going around in circles with Zhuang Jihua was a waste of time.

"Yes." Zhuang Jihua honestly admitted that this cannot be denied, everyone has stolen goods, and they are captured on the spot, and they cannot be denied.

"Don't you know he's against me?" Chiang Kai-shek asked coldly, the air at the scene suddenly became tense, and He Jinhan and the others knew why Zhuang Jihua was caught by the Shanghai Investigation Bureau.

"You know, he looked for me when he was in Germany." Zhuang Jihua is very honest. He Jinhan nervously used his brain, looking for a way to calm Chiang Kai-shek's anger.

"So you joined in and joined him against me." Chiang Kai-shek did not get angry, but his tone became very stern.

"The principal misunderstood, I didn't join, I was not interested in politics anymore, I just wanted to make money and have a good time." Zhuang Jihua sighed.

"Oh, it's that simple?" Chiang Kai-shek's expression remained indifferent.

Zhuang Jihua suddenly smiled: "Principal, I'm a little scared of you like this, really, it's so simple, nothing complicated, principal, I'm not so stupid, although I'm in the United States, I also know that the principal has been powerful in China in recent years, and he has won all battles, Feng Yuxiang, Yan Xishan, and Li Zongren have bowed their heads and proclaimed their ministers, and the rule of the national political axe is becoming more and more solid. ”

"Then why are you still helping him?" Chiang Kai-shek was not confused by Zhuang Jihua and still pursued closely.

"I can't help it, he is also my teacher," Zhuang Jihua began to play a scoundrel: "Principal, when I went to Huangpu, the name of you and Director Deng was written on the recommender, and now you immortals are fighting, and these little ghosts below us are embarrassed." ”

Song Meiling almost laughed out loud, looking around the whole Nanjing and daring to describe Chiang Kai-shek like this, I'm afraid Zhuang Jihua is still the first, she has also learned something about this Zhuang Jihua in the past few days, after the press reported, her brother Song Ziwen actually called her and asked her to persuade Chiang Kai-shek to release him, and Song Ziwen also said a few things about Zhuang Jihua's past on the phone, which made her more interested in Zhuang Jihua.

Chiang Kai-shek was stunned for a moment, and couldn't help laughing: "Immortals? I'm not a fairy, I think you are a fairy, Germany and the United States, running around the earth, are really immortals, quite free. ”

Zhuang Jihua laughed twice and then said ruffianly: "Principal, let's finish asking." ”

"How?" Chiang Kai-shek was a little puzzled and looked at him inexplicably.

"Then I'll be presumptuous." Zhuang Jihua took off his coat as he spoke, and complained while taking it off: "This Lifu's people really don't know how to do things, and they don't fit a piece of clothing, so they are uncomfortable to death." ”

After taking off the suit outside, Zhuang Jihua moved his arms: "It's comfortable now." ”

Everyone watched him perform with some tears and laughter, Zhuang Jihua said after the event: "Principal, I really want to do something when I return to China this time, Director Deng's business is just a coincidence, I have an old subordinate in the patrol room, he told me when he got the news, he knows my relationship with Director Deng, I ran to inform him in a hurry, if you don't believe it, you can send someone to check, I only seem to have five days back in Shanghai, the concession customs is recorded, when did Director Deng return to China?" I'm going to join his organization, will I wait until now to return home? You say no. ”

Chiang Kai-shek pondered for a moment and nodded: "Okay, you have made this matter clear." In the future, you don't want to do any industry, come to me, the party-state needs talents. ”

In fact, this is what Chiang Kai-shek wants to talk about today, all the words just now are the psychological pressure exerted by Chiang Kai-shek, the purpose is to let Zhuang Jihua know that you owe me, you helped Deng Yanda, I let you go, you have to do things for me.

"Principal, you know me," Zhuang Jihua smiled, knowing that this was today's business: "There are many things I can't see or let go, and I really can't do what the principal wants me to do, so it's a little thing." ”

"During the Cultural Revolution, you said you wanted to do business, what do you plan to do?" Song Meiling interjected at the right time, just from this sentence Zhuang Jihua couldn't help but be deeply impressed by this woman who had countless legends in her previous life, not the content of the words, but the timing, this timing is too good, Zhuang Jihua's conversation with Chiang Kai-shek is about to enter a dead end, and then Chiang Kai-shek will definitely want him to do it, and he will definitely not agree, the two are bound to talk about it, and it will not be easy to resolve it at that time.

"Set up a factory." Zhuang Jihua smiled gratefully at Song Meiling: "The prime minister has also said before that industry saves the country, and I am also a way to practice the righteousness of Sanming." ”

"Cultural Revolution, what kind of factory to run, now the country is an eventful season, what factory are you going to run?" Zeng Guangqing was very puzzled, he was kind, and he didn't want Zhuang Jihua's talents to be consumed in the shopping mall.

"Yes, the Cultural Revolution, or lead the troops, I am still your subordinate, I don't want to suppress the Communist Party, I can go north to deal with myself." Song Xilian also said.

"It's better for you to do these things, I..., or go to the factory." Zhuang Jihua deliberately thought for a while before answering.

"What kind of factory are you going to set up, I also have some friends in Shanghai, maybe I can help you." Song Meiling asked with a smile, her eyes casually looking at Chiang Kai-shek.

"Well,...., thank you," Zhuang Jihua said after a silent meeting, "but I don't plan to set up a factory in Shanghai." ”

"Oh," Chiang Kai-shek's eyes lit up, he never figured out what the purpose of Zhuang Jihua's return to China was, maybe this can find some clues: "Where do you plan to set up a factory?" ”

"Sichuan." Zhuang Jihua did not deny it this time, and he can't deny it, if he denies it, it will be fine now, and it will be difficult to say in the future.

Song Meiling said: "Why in Sichuan? How inconvenient it is. ”

Chiang Kai-shek looked at Zhuang Jihua thoughtfully, and Zhuang Jihua said calmly: "Because of safety." ”

"Safety, what do you want? The central government still can't control Sichuan, and it was only when I went to Sichuan last year that I persuaded Liu Xiang to return to the central government. It's better to choose Zhejiang. Zeng Kuo said urgently.

"I think it's also good, Brother Enlargement's words are good, after 128, Shanghai is said to be relatively strong, and it can be in Hangzhou, or Jiangsu." Song Xilian also frowned and said: "You too, what kind of factory to run, how good it is to lead troops." ”

"Hehe, Cultural Revolution, what factory do you plan to set up in Sichuan? What are the things that are produced? Chiang Kai-shek laughed.

Zhuang Jihua was very embarrassed, and after thinking about it, he said: "Well, principal, I want to set up a steel mill and a machinery manufacturing factory. ”

"Haha," Chiang Kai-shek finally smiled: "Cultural Revolution, whether the funds are enough, do you want me to invest in you." ”

"I know the principal doesn't have a lot of money, so I won't be in trouble." Zhuang Jihua was helpless, he couldn't hide, so he had to face it.

"That's not good, we can say that even if you open a grocery store, I will also take shares, you can't be untrustworthy." Chiang Kai-shek and Zhuang Jihua had a dumb riddle, but He Zhenhan and Zeng Guangqing were a little confused, Chiang Kai-shek agreed with Zhuang Jihua to go into business?

Song Meiling became more and more interested, this Zhuang Jihua is simply too different from others, from the time he came in to the present, he has no stage fright at all, he talks and laughs freely, he calls himself a student, but he has no consciousness of a student at all, and his conversation is completely different from others.

"Cultural Revolution, what machinery does your machine factory plan to produce? Mine or textile? Song Meiling asked.

"No, his factory doesn't produce those, he produces machine guns and cannons." Chiang Kai-shek laughed and said, "That's the case, Zhuang Cultural Revolution." ”

"The headmaster's eyes are like lightning, and he sees thousands of miles." Zhuang Jihua smiled bitterly, knowing that Chiang Kai-shek had seen through his intentions.

"Cultural Revolution, you always surprise us, what do you think?" Yu Jishi couldn't help but ask, he didn't speak just now, he was self-aware of this, he knew that he couldn't convince Zhuang Jihua at all, so he simply didn't speak.

Zhuang Jihua looked at Chiang Kai-shek and Song Meiling, and sighed softly: "Junshan once said that the current country is suffering from internal and external troubles, internal and external troubles, this is not right, yes, the country is indeed like this, it is not right, because these four words are not enough to describe the danger faced, I think it should be appropriate to use the other four words, life and death." ”

Zhuang Jihua looked around and saw that they all showed thoughtful looks, so he continued: "I said that I occupied the three eastern provinces, and in two years at most, they would attack Guannei, first Rehe and Chahar, and then Pingjin. We didn't fight in the three eastern provinces, and Rehe Chahar can accept the humiliation treaty, so if Pingjin doesn't fight, can we accept the humiliation treaty? No, once things develop to Pingjin, principal, you have to fight even if you don't want to, otherwise how can you face the people of the world, how can you face the generals in the army, then the remaining question is, how much time do we have, I think, if it is fast, five years, if it is slow, eight years, there will be a full-scale war between China. ”

Zhuang Jihua picked up the teacup and drank water, moistened his throat with some dry hair, and then said: "Once the war breaks out, we will definitely lose all the ports in the east and coast, and we can only retreat to the central and western regions. ”

"Pingjin? Five years? Chiang Kai-shek felt a little chill in his heart, and Zhuang Jihua hurriedly added: "This is the most pessimistic estimate, but this is a matter of life and death, and the pessimistic view is good." ”
