Hopkins found that Chiang Kai-shek didn't seem to show much excitement, his smile was more polite, but Soong Meiling looked much more energetic than him, she looked at her husband with admiration, and then said to Hopkins: "Yes, our country is a very traditional country, the people don't really know how to use the power in their hands, and it will take at least 20 years to achieve a lord like the United States." \.М\\ Starter"

Chiang Kai-shek said: "The Prophet once said that the country must first discipline the government on the road to the Lord, and the purpose of the discipline is to educate the people, educate the people, and in addition to letting the people have knowledge, we should also let the people know how to use the power in their hands, and only in this way can we enter the constitutional government." ”

Hopkins listened carefully, and a strange thought surged in his heart, Chiang Kai-shek and Soong Meiling seemed to have different views on this, Soong Meiling should be more active, and Chiang Kai-shek was relatively much more cautious.

"Our country is very traditional and very resistant to any change," Song Meiling went on to explain to Hopkins how she came to be in the past 20 years: "Especially in the countryside, in the peasants, the vast majority of peasants are not educated, they simply do not know how to exercise the power in their hands, and the 16 counties of Chongqing have implemented free education for 10 years, and the overall level of education in China is considered high, but there are still many elderly people and women who are not educated, and they can't even write their own names." In the countryside, clan rules are more effective than government decrees, and many people vote not on the political views of candidates, but more on their blood relationship with themselves."

Hopkins was a little puzzled, and he blinked his eyes: "Blood relationship? Lou doesn't quite understand what Madame's relationship has to do with blood? ”

Song Meiling explained with a smile: "This is the biggest difference between the country and other countries, the country has a long history, leaving a huge legacy and also leaving a huge burden. For example, in the villages of the rural areas of the country, there are generally family clusters, and the antiquity of the family can even be speculated to be hundreds of years ago, most of the residents in the village are the same family, and they may be the same father five or even ten generations ago, for example, there are five largest families in Shipingqiao, not far away, these five families account for sixty percent of the town's residents, and there are more than 2,000 people in the old and young, and the remaining eleven families add up to only more than 700 people. It is difficult for other candidates to be elected, regardless of their political views, because according to the habit of the countrymen, they would rather trust their family members than outsiders. Hopkins opened his mouth in surprise as he listened, this situation is simply impossible in the United States, even the oldest family, not more than ten generations, let alone ten generations all living in one place, which is completely unimaginable.

"mygod," Hopkins exclaimed, shaking his head and saying, "It's unimaginable, it's unimaginable!" ”

Chiang Kai-shek took over the topic and said: "But there is a process, and we must not be too anxious, because too much haste may cause social turmoil, and now we cannot bear the consequences of such turmoil." Hopkins understood that for Chiang Kai-shek, driving himself away did not completely solve the problem of the country, in addition to himself, there was also a GCD problem, this time the 16 counties of Chongqing elected Chiang Kai-shek and strongly refused to run for GCD, which caused G to meet Chiang Kai-shek several times and protest to Chiang Kai-shek in person, but Chiang Kai-shek resolutely refused to give in, and clearly announced that unless GCD gave up the secret party membership system, he could not participate in any government official election.

In the later stages of the election campaign, Deng Yanda officially announced his separation from the Kuomintang, and more than 40 people, including Zhang Bojun, Huang Qixiang, and Chen Mingshu, collectively announced their separation from the Kuomintang and announced that they would establish the Kuomintang Socialist Party.

The secession of Deng Yanda and his followers from the Kuomintang poured cold water on the Kuomintang that won the election, and the Kuomintang Central Committee announced the expulsion of Deng Yanda and others, but that was all.

With Deng Yanda's establishment of the Socialist Main Party, Luo Longji and others are also considering the establishment of the Main Alliance, hoping to bring together the two parties and two factions, such as the Youth Party, the National Socialist Party, and the Rural Construction Association, into one political party.

The social and political forces of the country have been more active than ever, and people of all stripes have been contemplating the formation of political parties and discussing state affairs on various occasions, as if tomorrow the Kuomintang would abdicate and change the country in one fell swoop.

In the face of this situation, Chiang Kai-shek was overwhelmed, and in his view, not only should not so many political parties be established, but on the contrary, all political parties should be integrated into the Kuomintang to form a rope and devote all efforts to the post-war reconstruction of the country.

Chiang Kai-shek was also very worried that the situation that occurred during the Northern Expedition would recur after the war, and the chaos caused by the peasant uprising in the Lianghu area of that year made him unforgettable, so Chiang Kai-shek strictly ordered Liu Zhi and the Chongqing Procuratorate Bureau to send a large number of inspectors and troops to various constituencies to maintain order, severely punish criminal acts, and at the same time strengthen the grassroots party organizations and the strength of the Three Youth Leagues to ensure that there would be no deviation in the election, but this was also strongly criticized by the GCD.

Chiang Kai-shek has always explained to him that elections like the 16 counties in Chongqing cannot be carried out in the whole country for the time being, and what the country needs most now is to strengthen education and rebuild the country, rather than to rush to implement the so-called Lord. Then he began to talk about the situation in North China: "The Cultural Revolution told me that the famine in North China will ease after the summer harvest, but there are still about four or five hundred thousand people in the cities who do not have housing, which is a very serious problem, and now it is okay, the weather is relatively warm, and the shacks can be lived, but in the winter, the problem is serious, and the winter in North China is very cold, so we have to build enough housing before the winter comes, which is a very difficult job." Chiang Kai-shek said.

Hopkins thought that Chiang Kai-shek would take advantage of the situation to propose the issue of bonds in the United States, but Chiang Kai-shek's topic changed and jumped to the northeast front: "After the Sino-Soviet problem is resolved, we can concentrate our forces on attacking the Kwantung Army, in North China, the Cultural Revolution put forward a plan, with the 49th Group Army as the mainstay, through the Outer Xing'an Mountains, a surprise attack on Changchun Harbin, and an airborne division to Shenyang: Shanhaiguan concentrated 300,000 troops to attack and drag the main force of the Japanese army, and another 200,000 troops were concentrated to penetrate Jinzhou from the north of Rehe, and cooperate with the troops from Changchun to the south, encircled and annihilated the Kwantung Army near Jinzhou"

When it comes to the war, Chiang Kai-shek is full of red faces, and Hopkins strongly feels the confidence that comes to his face, and Chiang Kai-shek continued: "After the recovery of the Northeast, our army will advance into Korea, and the South Korean government-in-exile has been in the country for many years, and they have established the Liberation Army, which has reached 20,000 troops, and the Nationalist Government has provided them with equipment and training, and now this army has arrived in eastern Hebei." "As early as 1919, the March 1st Movement broke out in North Korea, putting forward the idea of North Korea, which was brutally suppressed by Ben, and a large number of people fled to China and Soviet Russia. The fugitives established the Korean Provisional Government in Shanghai, elected Syngman Rhee as the Provisional Government Governor, Ahn Chang-ho as Minister of the Interior, and Kim Kyu-sik as Minister of Foreign Affairs, and formulated a constitution.

At the end of 1919, Syngman Rhee was elected president, and a few years later, the provisional government split, and Syngman Rhee withdrew from the provisional government, leading some people into exile in the United States and lobbying the American government. The provisional government re-elected Kim Koo as president of the country and continued to engage in activities in the country.

After 918, Chiang Kai-shek strengthened his support for Korean exiles, and set up a number of training schools for Korean exiles in Nanchang, Hangzhou, and Zhengzhou, and the Whampoa Military Academy also enrolled some Korean nationals.

After the start of the Anti-Japanese War, the Korean Provisional Government organized the Korean Volunteer Army to participate in the battle against the Japanese army, but this volunteer army had a strong left-wing color, which Chiang Kai-shek did not like.

Chiang Kai-shek helped the Korean Provisional Government establish the Liberation Army in 1940, and the commander-in-chief of the Liberation Army, Ji Qingtian.

At the beginning of its establishment, there were only more than 300 people in the entire Liberation Army, and with the counteroffensive, many Koreans who joined the Japanese army were captured, and most of these joined the Liberation Army under the persuasion of the Korean Provisional Government, in addition to many Koreans who crossed the Bohai Sea and entered the country from Shandong, and joined the national anti-Japanese team, this army expanded rapidly, and the number of people rushed to tens of thousands, and Chiang Kai-shek said here that there were more than 10,000 people, which is an exaggeration.

"According to the Cairo Conference and the Tehran Conference, after the war, North Korea will be obtained, and it is up to the Korean people themselves to decide their fate, Mr. Hopkins, I have talked with Mr. Kim Koo many times, and I suggest that you also talk to him, he believes that the United States must play a greater role in maintaining peace in Northeast Asia after the war, and he is very wary of Soviet Russia, believing that Soviet Russia is the same as Ben, originally wanted to land on the mainland, Soviet Russia wants to get ice-free ports, and the best ice-free port in Northeast Asia is Busan." Hopkins understood that Chiang Kai-shek had made such a big circle in order for him to meet Jin Jiu, which made him embarrassed. After Syngman Rhee arrived in the United States, he continued to act in the United States under the title of president of the provisional government of South Korea, and Roosevelt did not meet him, but some members of the House of Representatives and the Senate did, and he had a certain influence in the United States.

In addition, Hopkins speculated that Chiang Kai-shek spared no effort to recommend Kim Koo, but did not mention another South Korean leader, Syngman Rhee, in order to continue to exert influence on Korea after the war through the personnel of the North Korean government.

"Mr. Chairman, I can't decide on this matter yet, the president has not authorized me to meet with the leaders of the provisional government of South Korea, and I need a few days to ask the president for instructions." Hopkins' answer was very tactful, but the rejection was very obvious.

Chiang Kai-shek was a little disappointed, he still wanted to make some efforts, but Soong Meiling had already stood up: "Tonight, the Women's Federation held a ball at the Nanshan Hotel, and invited General Weidemeyer and Ambassador Gauss, Mr. Hopkins, please be sure to come too." Chiang Kai-shek was stunned for a moment, Song Meiling handed him a look out of the corner of his eye, Chiang Kai-shek had no choice but to keep silent, at this moment Song Meiling was like an American hostess, inviting her neighbors to a party held at home, and was looking at Hopkins with expectant eyes.!
