The third part of the Speculators of the Republic of China, the second chapter of the Bloody War of Resistance, the eleventh section of the Jinpu Road Defensive War, the great victory

D。 , М/ The name shook everyone in the room at the first bite. There was silence between the rooms. If it is still his modesty to refuse the commander of the theater of operations. So recommending Zhu De can be described as earth-shattering. Who is Zhu De here, who does not know. Regardless of their abilities. There is a big gulf between the two parties. Chiang Kai-shek was already very dissatisfied with the development of GCD. D has become legal to enter Hebei. And you can also take the opportunity to enter Henan. This will be even more difficult to control in the future.

Bai Chongxi looked at Zhuang Jihua and said bluntly in his heart, you really dare to say it. Zhu De's military talents can be competent. But Chiang Kai-shek would certainly not agree. But you have to open your mouth to oppose it. Then Li Zongren was transferred to the First War Zone. So he made up his mind not to speak. And apparently Li Zongren also had the same idea.

Lin Wei and Chen Bui had a premonition that a storm was coming. Both of them looked at Chiang Kai-shek and Zhuang Jihua nervously. Find a way to turn it in.

"Why?" If it was Zhuang Jihua who said it. The country scolded and blurted out. But even so. Chiang Kai-shek's face was also covered with clouds. His eyes looked directly at Zhuang Jihua. It seems to dig out what he really thinks in his heart.

"There are two reasons for this. The sword soul came to report this incident. Zhuang Jihua pointed to the materials on the table: "No matter what the reason is." They were all damaged. Surely they will not rest on their laurels. will be hyped up. And the population is motivated by a mentality of sympathy for the weak. will lean towards them emotionally. It will also have an impact on some centrists. The rector was to appoint General Zhu De as the commander of the First Theater of Operations. It is to show the government to all walks of life at home and abroad to safeguard the cooperation between the KMT and the CPC. Defend the anti-Japanese united front. This is one of them. ”

Zhuang Jihua paused and said, "Second." Since the beginning of the Anti-Japanese War. Although we reached an agreement with ** to fight together against Japan. But they always had doubts in their hearts. Reluctance to accept direct command from the government. Fearing that we will take the opportunity to drain its strength. With this appointment, we can also dispel some of the doubts in the field. ”

After Zhuang Jihua finished speaking, he calmly looked at Chiang Kai-shek, his eyes were full of expectation. Chiang Kai-shek suppressed the anger in his heart and said coldly: "Leather." You have so much to worry about, just take care of your own business! ”

Bai Chongxi was embarrassed to see Zhuang Jihua. And Lin Wei and Bray were inconvenient to come forward to persuade them. Only I came forward. He pondered for a moment and then said, "Chief." The Cultural Revolution's proposals were bold. But his concerns were not unfounded. But. There are many ways to dispel doubts. You don't have to use it that way. ”

"He cares too much," Chiang Kai-shek's chest heaved. His face was as cold as ice. He was not for Zhuang Jihua's suggestion. It's his attitude. When he was in Nanjing, Zhuang Jihua made a shot at GCD. made him think that Zhuang Jihua and GCD had broken off. But now it seems. He's still the same. This made him particularly disappointed: "He saw only one aspect, but he did not see the threat that the GCD was to us. Now the Japanese in Shanxi account for half, and the remaining two-thirds. Yan Xishan and we accounted for the remaining third; Taihang = is now their world. They also stretched out their hands to Yanshan, Jizhong, and Jidong; Henan was known as the Central Plains in ancient times. The world of the Central Plains once let them take root in Henan. It's hard to get them away. Have you ever had any of this? ”

Zhuang Jihua also knew that his suggestion was very bold, but he poked a hole. At this moment, Jiang Shi's rebuke made him a little apprehensive, he took a deep breath, stabilized his emotions, and said, "I haven't thought about this. But I think it's a side story. Compared to GCD. We're so much stronger. Don't worry about what they're occupying of the side. The key now is to find a way to truly bring the 18th Group Army into the first-class command system. At the same time, the cooperation between the KMT and the CCP should be consolidated Make some concessions on this. I think it's worth it. "Value?" Chiang Kai-shek calmed down a little. Silently thought about Zhuang Jihua's intentions.

After all, Zhuang Jihua is his confidant. Two successive victories saved the prestige of the Nationalist Government. In addition, his dealings with Zhuang Jihua for more than ten years also made him understand. Zhuang Jihua is not a person who can be subdued by force. Even if he vetoes his proposal. Don't break his heart. So he changed his tone and said, "Cultural Revolution." As the war deepened. Military spending will inevitably increase. D's set is even more attractive. Our army is used to it. Our soldiers simply cannot be compared. Don't look at the slogans of the Anti-Japanese War. Fighting a war still requires military salaries. Ammunition is needed. Zhu De became the commander of the First Theater of Operations. He wants this too. Do you give or don't give? Given. He took it to equip the Eighteenth Army. We can't add anything to the contrary. ”

"Isn't that just right?" Zhuang Jihua said casually: "They all said that you will deduct military salaries. The lightly treated party is armed. Then let Tak try. How to divide the ammunition"

"It's useless." Lin Wei shook his head and said, "Zhu Deyi said that the central government didn't give enough. The responsibility is still at the center. ”

Chen Bui also said: "The Cultural Revolution. Your idea is indeed fanciful. The district commander has a high and powerful position. The troops of the First Theater came to the aid of the complex. Zhu De does not necessarily command the movement. ”

"Then transfer two divisions from the 18th Group. Otherwise, the New Fourth Army will be transferred to the First War Zone. Zhuang Jihua still said nonchalantly: "There are descendants in the hands of Germany." Plus the support of the principal. I believe he can make a big difference in the First War Zone. ”

Zhuang Jihua's words came out. Li Zongren's eyes lit up first. Bai Chongxi also stared and pondered. Chiang Kai-shek froze. The room fell silent again.

"Chairman. I think so. Li Zongren first expressed his opinion: "At least you can discuss with ** what they mean." ”

Chiang Kai-shek took two steps back and forth in the house. Now he has some peace of mind. Zhuang Jihua did not break the connection with ** lotus root. The transfer of the new Fourth Army to the north had been suggested before. Chen Cheng was tempted when he came to negotiate with Zhou EN

Refused. Besides, Chiang Kai-shek didn't really want to concentrate the ** army, so he didn't mention it again. Now Zhuang Jihua has gone around in a circle. It's just a change of the original proposal. It's just that he doesn't know why he is so determined to transfer the New Fourth Army to the north. And at such a high price.

"The New Fourth Army is heading north?" Chiang Kai-shek muttered to himself. After a while, he shook his head again: "Jiansheng, what is your opinion?" ”

"I think it's doable." Bai Chongxi slowly considered the words: "The survival ability of the ** army is extremely strong. It was still a problem for the New Fourth Army to stay in Jiangnan. Gangnam is our core domain. If the New Fourth Army is allowed to take root here. It's going to be a big problem. It's better to transfer them to Henan. ”

These words touched Chiang Kai-shek. It also touched Chen Bui. He nodded and said, "Jiansheng's words make sense, and there is a benefit. Speaking of this, he looked at Chiang Kai-shek's face. Seeing that his face was calm, he continued, "I know. **There are now differences of opinion internally. Wang Ming proposed that everything go through the united front. It's good for us; We appointed Zhu De as the commander of the theater of operations. supported Wang Ming in one aspect. Boosted his position in the ** interior. And it can also influence the Comintern. ”

High. It's really high. Zhuang Jihua couldn't help but look at Chen Bui twice, and he thought that Chen Bui was just a scholar. I didn't expect to think of this layer. It's really a real person who doesn't show up.

"That's good. You talk to Xuanxia's father. Tell us what we mean. Weiwen. You send a telegram to Chen Cheng. He touched the attitude of Zhou EN once the government issued the appointment. **Agree or not. "Yes." Zhuang Jihua and Lin Wei replied at the same time, Jihua said: "Guan Linzheng and Tang Enbo's matter. Did you send someone to investigate what was going on? ”

Chiang Kai-shek thought about it and nodded: "Okay." Why do you have to give you a 1 German neighbor. Just watch and do it. "Very clearly, Chiang Kai-shek was planning to be perfunctory, and Zhuang Jihua wanted to stop talking. It is no longer acceptable to get Chiang Kai-shek to agree to send an investigation team, and it will no longer have any effect.

Xuanxia's father and Huang Mincheng's Zhizhuang Jihua's intentions. Both of them had round eyes. Ears that simply don't believe it. Huang, Cheng couldn't help but ask: "Cultural Revolution." What do you mean by that? ”

Zhuang Jihua sighed: "What can it mean." To be honest, changing the commander of the 1st theater of operations is my strong recommendation. The 1st Theater of Operations guards the flanks of the 5th Theater of Operations. The current commander is Cheng Qian. I don't believe in this man. During the Northern Expedition that year, he buried tens of thousands of soldiers of the Northern Expedition in Nanchang. I can't give him my back again this time. He will cut off his robe and beard in the next time. There were 500,000 men in five wars. ”

Zhuang Jihua mentioned the Battle of Chang. Xuanhe Huang Mincheng believed eighty percent. The cattle battle of that year was famous throughout the country. Zhuang Jihua became famous in a fight. The world knows it. But the battle of Nanchang before this battle. Cheng Qian is very shameless. put Jihua in a desperate situation. Now Zhuang Jihua doesn't believe that he is also reasonable.

"I can't answer that. I will report to my superiors. Xuanxia's father replied solemnly. He felt that there must be something to be trusted. So many generals of the Kuomintang. Can't you find a theater commander? Xuanxia didn't believe it. Huang Mincheng didn't believe it either. But the two of them didn't find anything wrong with the half-ring. I had to report the matter to the Yangtze River Bureau.

Xuanxia's father's telegram caused a sensation in the Yangtze River Bureau. Zhu De is now only the commander of the 18th Army. Immediately promoted to theater commander. Wang Ming couldn't be more happy. This convinced him. Chiang Kai-shek was sincere about cooperating in the fight against Japan.

"I think I can agree. Totally agreeable. Wang Ming waved a telegram in the courtyard and said loudly: "This is a victory for our party's united front. ”

Bogu and Kaifeng immediately expressed their support. Dong Bi and Ye Jying did not speak. Both of them pondered that the purpose of Chiang Kai-shek's move was nothing more than a proposal to Wang Ming. Dong Biwu said calmly: "Comrade Wang Ming. This matter must be reported to the central authorities. We don't have the right to say yes. ”

Wang Ming's high interest was immediately suppressed. He said with some dissatisfaction: "This is a good thing. Comrade Zhu De's appointment as commander of the theater showed that Chiang Kai-shek had realized the strength of our forces. This can greatly expand the influence of our party. Why don't you agree to such a good thing? ”

"Chiang Kai-shek can't let Zhu Dezhi be the commander of the theater for no reason, right? Is there some conspiracy behind this? Biwu asked rhetorically

"What's the conspiracy? Commander of the theater of operations. How many theater commanders are there in the country now? A war zone. A whole theater of operations. It's all under our command. Wang Ming waved his arm. It seems to see hundreds of thousands of horses galloping in front of you.

"Comrade Jianying. What is the strength of the First War Zone now? Dong Biwu turned his head and asked Ye Jying next to him.

J Ying is a staff officer of the General Staff Office of the Yangtze River Bureau, which is responsible for guiding operations. He was also the chief of staff of the Eighth Route Army. After thinking about it, he said: "The troops in the First War Zone are relatively weak. Recently, however, Chiang Kai-shek transferred Xue Yue to the First War Zone. It shows that he also doesn't trust Cheng Qian, and he may also be influenced by Zhuang Jihua. Comrade Xuanxia's father said in a telegram. Zhuang Jihua didn't trust Cheng Qian. It's possible. Back then, Cheng Qian Nanchang sold Zhuang Jihua. caused him to be surrounded by Sun Fang in the cattle shop. Although he won the Battle of Niuxing. But the 1st Division suffered heavy losses. He himself almost died. According to He Yingqin, Zhuang Jihua had been drugged in Chiang Kai-shek's ear. Asked Cheng Qian to be transferred. Chiang Kai-shek originally planned to make Li Ren the commander of the theater of operations, but he didn't know how to make up his mind. In addition, the Seventy-fourth Army around Wuhan. The 27th Army, the 71st Army and other troops all went north. Classified as a district. These units are all the Central Army that has just been reorganized. If these units are transferred to the 1st theater of operations. The strength of the First War Zone will be greatly increased. I am afraid that it is second only to the five theaters of war. ”

J Ying explained the source of the matter clearly in a few words. At the same time, it illustrates the changes in the number of troops in the First Theater of Operations. This made Wang Ming even happier

Biwu was even more confused. He couldn't help but say: "Could it be that Chiang Kai-shek turned to the East Province to sue the matter." Did they have a result? ”

"Not yet. However, Comrade Xia Father said that they promised to send someone to investigate. This is Guan Linzheng and Tang Enbo's unauthorized actions. Bogu said.

"Excuses." Dong Biwu stood up and said loudly: "It must be a pretext!" ”

"It's a pretext." With tone. Zhou EN came in from the outside. Dong Biwu and Ye Jying greeted him. Wang Ming stood still and looked at them: "It seems that you all know." In that case, I won't say more, Chen Cheng proposed it to me. They intended to ask Comrade Zhu De to serve as commander of the First Theater of Operations. ”

"EN comes. What do you think? What did they have in mind? Dong Biwu asked.

"There is no good wine. There is no feast; Zhou EN said lightly: "Chiang Kai-shek also made a condition to ask the New Fourth Army to go north to Henan. ”

"North to Henan? Is that simple? Ye Jying was surprised. He was born as a military general, if the New Fourth Army and the Eighth Route were used intensively. Isn't the victory greater? This is completely acceptable, and Zhu De's words as the commander of the first district. The New Fourth Army was a great help in Henan. Everything seems to make sense. "Yes. It's as simple as that. Zhou En came to frown deeply. Chiang Kai-shek also surprised him. He instinctively felt that he would want to refuse on the spot. But then I think of the consequences of refusal.

The party has taken such an important position. but was rejected by **. They have every reason to accuse ** of undermining the united front. To the accusation to preserve the strength of the false resistance. Then it was politically passive. But how can this problem be solved? Zhuang Wenge is really clever. Chiang Kai-shek was in Xuzhou and in Wuhan to make the question. Let Zhou EN keenly judge the relationship between this appointment and Zhuang Jihua.

"Report it to the central government." Zhou EN came to sigh. He did not discuss this matter at the Yangtze River Bureau. But Wang Ming disagreed. He immediately said, "We should have an attitude." It is recommended that the central government accept it. Raise your hand if you agree. ”

Wang Ming's timing was very good. The main leaders of the Yangtze River Bureau are here. It can be regarded as a meeting of secretaries of the Yangtze River Bureau. When he finished speaking, he raised his right hand. Then Bogu Kaifeng also raised his right hand. Dong Biwu hesitated and did not raise his hand. Zhou EN didn't raise his hand when he came. Ye Jying raised his hand. No, he explained: "The New Fourth Army is cramped in southern Anhui. It has long been instructed that it is not conducive to the development of the New Fourth Army. They are advised to develop north and east. If you get to Henan. The development of the New Fourth Army is more beneficial. Henan's Central Plains. To the west can support Shanxi. to the east to enter Shandong. To the north, the Fourth Army can play a greater role in supporting Hebei. ”

"What about the roots?" Dong Biwu asked rhetorically.

"Only give up. Jiangnan has not yet taken shape. And it's formed. It was also very difficult to exhibit a basis like the Jin-Cha-Ji under the siege of the Kuomintang and the Japanese invaders. It's better to give up on that. Go to Henan to create a new situation. Ye Jying explained. Dong Biwu thought about it and felt wrong. He looked at Zhou En again. Zhou EN came to condense his eyebrows and think: "There must be mistakes." Militarily, it is in our favor for the Fourth Army to now move north. After the fiasco in Xuzhou. The Japanese army evacuated the North China troops. All bases in North China are in great development, and the arrival of the Fourth Army in Henan can play a role in promoting the war of resistance behind enemy lines in North China. But that's just one aspect. Another aspect is that the war of resistance behind enemy lines in Jiangnan will be weakened. Dong Lao. Write them all. Please think about it. ”

The telegram quickly reached the desk where Mao Zdong was sent to Yan'an. After reading the telegram. frowned and thought for a long time. Then let the book put the general secretary Zhang Wentian, Chen Yun, Liu Sqi. Sheng and others are invited to come and discuss. The hole is not wide, and it immediately looks a little crowded after entering the five.

"What do you think about this?" put aside the greetings of meeting. Mao Zdong asked straightforwardly. Although nominally he still assisted Zhang Wentian in handling military affairs, in reality he had taken over all aspects of party, government, and military affairs. His outstanding leadership in the creation of the Central Base and the Long March. Let him gain great prestige in the whole party. All comrades in the party acquiesced in this existence. His will permeates every big and small decision of the party. At this moment, he said that there was already a teacher's flavor in his tone.

"EN came to their telegram and said it very clearly. Yes, there are. Chiang Kai-shek wanted to transfer the New Fourth Army out of Jiangnan. He tried it once. This time it was a big deal. Zhang Wentian said. He was a man of letters. Speak politely. He is well aware that his assumption of this position is only a transition. As long as mZD willing. He can ascend to the position of the party's top leader at any time.

"What did he mean by that?" Chen Y was very puzzled: "It costs such a big price just to transfer the New Fourth Army?" ”

"Comrade Wang Ming suggested taking over this appointment." Kang Sheng looked at Mao Zdong cautiously. After returning from Moscow. He was very cautious. Excuse being out of the country for too long. Be familiar with the situation. He has been speaking very little. I can't help but speak today.

"Chiang Kai-shek must have a conspiracy here. Negotiations with them in Wuhan on the replenishment of weapons and equipment and rapid personnel to the Eighth Route Army were held many times. They never let go. That's when it came to this. There must be a conspiracy in this. I propose to reject them. Liu Sqi said without hesitation.

"Comrade Shaoqi's vigilance is high." Mao Zdong nodded appreciatively at Liu Sqi: "Chiang Kai-shek not only has a conspiracy. And there are big conspiracies. This appointment cannot be agreed in any way. ”

Happy New Year to all. Good luck.
