Section 30 Zhongshan Ship (10)

Huangpu Phase VI will only enroll students in September, although Dai Li has already obtained the admission pass, but this half a year is still not easy to do, Zhuang Jihua suggested that he stay in Guangzhou, find a job, it doesn't matter if the pay is less, his future is not there, the main thing is not to let himself be too idle, read more books, study the current situation, Dai Li followed Zhuang Jihua's advice, went to Sun Yat-sen University to find his friend.

After this matter was done, the three-day holiday was about to end, and Zhuang Jihua took a boat to Shilong with his luggage under Liu Yinshu's reluctant gaze.

At another wharf, a steamer with the flag of Soviet Russia slowly approached, drums sounded on the pier, and a dozen or so high-nosed Russians descended the spiral staircase, they were members of the Bubnov delegation, which was actually a Comintern delegation.

The situation that had taken place in China since the end of the 25th year had greatly excited the leaders of the Comintern, as Zhang Zuolin, the representative of imperialism had been driven out of Shanhaiguan, the Yanjing regime had fallen into the hands of the pro-Soviet Feng Yuxiang, and the KMT-CPC cooperation in the south had developed rapidly, the reunification of the two provinces had been achieved, and the revolutionary forces had risen to an unprecedented height. In order to have a more accurate grasp of the actual situation in China, the Comintern decided to send a high-level delegation to China for inspection, headed by Bubnov, director of the Political Department of the Soviet Red Army and member of the Political Bureau of the CPSU, and including important leaders such as Kubiak, secretary of the Far Eastern Bureau of the CPSU, and Repsay, chairman of the Central Council of All-Union Trade Unions.

In 1925, in order to ease the tension in international relations with the Soviet Union, Stalin put forward the theory of building socialism in one country, according to which Soviet Russia would inevitably abandon the strategy of exporting revolution, which would be beneficial to the Soviet Union; However, Stalin's proposition was opposed by Zinoviev and Trotsky, and Zinoviev, according to the theory of world revolution, proposed to strengthen the national liberation movement in the colonies and semi-colonies, promote the arrival of the world revolution, and specifically pointed out that China is a key link in breaking the chains of imperialism, in order to prove his correctness, Zinoviev sent an inspection mission in the name of the Comintern, but Stalin refused to admit defeat, he sent his close confidant Bubnov to the delegation and served as the head of the delegation.

Of course, the KMT and CCP dignitaries who welcomed them at the wharf did not know the secret, but the lively welcome ceremony could not hide the surging undercurrent in Guangzhou's political arena.

In the past few days, rumors have spread in the city of Guangzhou, one will say that you are going to be a warlord like Wu Peifu, and the other will be an army that wants to surrender the weapons of the four armies; From time to time, anti-Chiang leaflets were distributed in the streets, and the most powerful of these rumors was that Chiang Kai-shek was going to launch a rebellion to expel Wang Ching-wei and the Russian advisers.

These rumors reached Chiang Kai-shek's ears, and Deng Yanda and Liu Zhi successively brought anti-Chiang leaflets, among which Deng Yanda's attitude was particularly ambiguous, on the one hand, he took the leaflets, thinking that the contents of the leaflets were pure rumors; On the other hand, he advised Chiang Kai-shek to reconcile with the Soviet Russian advisers and not to make too much trouble. Chiang Kai-shek accepted Deng Yanda's suggestion, he planned to find a time to talk to Ji Jiashan again, but then gave up, he really didn't want to see Ji Jiashan's face.

After thinking about it, Chiang Kai-shek still couldn't understand what those people were going to do, but he instinctively felt that danger was approaching. Without any consultation, Chiang Kai-shek again submitted his resignation to Wang Ching-wei, requesting that he resign as a member of the Military Commission, resign as commander of the garrison headquarters, resign from all his posts as president of the Central Military and Political School, and go abroad for inspection and study.

Wang Jingwei was a little angry with this letter of resignation, from the Second National Congress to the present, Chiang Kai-shek has been making trouble for three months, every time they meet, they have to count Ji Jiashan, and now they want to resign again, last time like this, when he resigned last time, he once told him that if he wants to make such a request again, he must first discuss with him, and he is especially in his ears, but he repeats it again.

"This Chiang Kai-shek, what the hell is he going to do?" Wang Jingwei threw Chiang Kai-shek's resignation on the table and stood up angrily.

Chen Bijun, who was carefully arranging flowers, asked while carefully pruning the flower branches: "What's wrong with him?" ”

"He's going to resign again." Wang Jingwei said angrily.

"Resign again? Why? Chen Bijun asked.

"It's not about having an argument with Ji Jiashan. He wanted to go on a northern expedition, but Ji Jiashan disagreed; Later, Ji Jiashan agreed, but he did not approve of Ji Jiashan's Northern Expedition route. He asked me to raise military expenses and materials for the Northern Expedition for him, but Song Ziwen refused to agree to exceed the budget, and most of the materials were controlled by consultants, what could I do. Wang Jingwei didn't expect it to be so difficult to be in charge, and he didn't please left and right.

"Just make it clear to him there." Chen Bijun was still fiddling with the vase, looking left and right, always looking dissatisfied.

"I told him that the time is not right now, the comrades in the party are not in agreement, and the advisers and [***] are not in favor, but he just doesn't accept it." When he said this, Chiang Kai-shek almost turned his face on the spot, he still remembered that Chiang Kai-shek immediately said that Soviet Russia opposed us and left them on their own Northern Expedition, and Song Ziwen would remove him without paying for it. This made it impossible for Wang Jingwei to accept it.

"He also has to go abroad to study and study." Chen Bijun didn't, she frowned and looked at the flowers that had been arranged, and Wang Jingwei added.

"That's right, I also want to go to Soviet Russia, I'll go with him." Chen Bijun said and changed the position of Yizhihua, and then smiled with satisfaction.

"Say what?" Wang Jingwei was unhappy: "Kai-shek can't leave now, and the army is still indispensable to him." ”

"You think I'm joking." After Chen Bijun set up the vase, he turned to Wang Jingwei and said, "He is indispensable to anything, I can see anyone who is missing; What is he, an upstart, who thinks he is sorry after two battles, the first in the world, something. ”

Wang Jingwei sighed and shook his head, Chen Bijun had always looked down on Chiang Kai-shek, thinking that he was a martial artist with no political ability.

"Fourth brother, I see that you are too accommodating to him, and he resigned just to calculate that you will not let him go, so he used this trick to pressure you and force you to give in, but can you let this step? Is it to remove Ji Jiashan from his position or to remove Song Ziwen from his position? Chen Bijun asked sharply.

Although Chen Bijun's words were harsh, his judgment was accurate, and Wang Jingwei couldn't afford to let this step; dismissed Ji Jiashan, Wang Jingwei didn't think about it, he could do it if he dismissed Song Ziwen, but what about after he did it? Wang Jingwei's political prestige has undoubtedly plummeted, and it will be impossible for Wang Jingwei to sit firmly in this position in the future.

"I see that Chiang Kai-shek is playing on the topic at this time, and he still wants to deal with you in the end." Chen Bijun reminded Wang Jingwei: "He is now the number two person in the party, if he can squeeze you out, he can be the master of the house." ”

"Then why did he resign?" Wang Jingwei asked suspiciously, he hadn't thought about this problem, but Chiang Kai-shek was making a fuss about resignation, if he wanted to go further, he shouldn't make a fuss about resignation, if he really accepted it, wouldn't he be all disappointed?

"It's not simple, you can be reinstated if you resign, if you get it, you will have a reputation as a hero; In a few days, he will be reinstated, so that he will not lose a good reputation, but he will not lose anything, and his abacus is so fine. Chen Bijun said contemptuously.

"It's still Madame, I didn't expect this." After a long time, Wang Jingwei sighed and said that he only discussed with Chen Bijun on difficult matters, and Chen Bijun could often give him good ideas, but they were both very attentive in public, Wang Jingwei would never ask her, and Chen Bijun would not dare to interject. Wang Jingwei is afraid of losing the reputation of his wife interfering in politics, and Chen Bijun is afraid of people saying that Wang Jingwei's national politics come from the boudoir.

"Even if he Chiang Kai-shek is a monkey, he can't turn over my five-fingered mountain like a Buddha." Chen Bijun said triumphantly.

"I said fourth brother, since he is unkind, don't blame me for being unjust, just come and neither accept nor approve his resignation letter, and press him down." Chen Bijun sat on the sofa opposite Wang Jingwei, picked up his tea, blew it lightly and said: "If he is a man with a face, he will run away by himself, if he is a faceless person..., we will find another opportunity to reveal his resignation, and then he will have no face to stay in Guangzhou anymore." ”

"That's not good, who will be in charge of the army when Kai-shek leaves?" Wang Jingwei felt that something was wrong, because after Wang Maogong, whom he trusted more, was sent away by Chiang Kai-shek, he had not yet found a replacement candidate in the party and military system, and Zhuang Jihua, who had been originally selected, had not been pulled over for a while, and now even he had been sent down by Chiang Kai-shek.

"Help He Yingqin up first, anyway, now he is the army commander, the troops are actually controlled in his hands, and Chiang Kai-shek can only control the second division, and then call Wang Dongcheng back as soon as Chiang Kai-shek leaves, let him take charge of the second division again, isn't this over." Chen Bijun slowly analyzed for Wang Jingwei, and Wang Jingwei couldn't help nodding.

Chiang Kai-shek's mind was indeed forcing Wang Jingwei to make concessions as Chen Bijun analyzed, but Wang Jingwei neither accepted nor approved this clever hand, which made Chiang Kai-shek uncomfortable and embarrassed.

When Feng Wei learned that the news of Chiang Kai-shek's resignation was the afternoon of the next day, he was immediately furious and almost spat on Chiang Kai-shek's face. Now in the face of Chiang Kai-shek's embarrassing inquiry, Feng Yi said coldly: "Aren't you going to resign?" Why do you need his approval, just leave. ”

"That's not good, the official position is given by the state, and you have to get the approval of the state before you can leave." Chiang Kai-shek said seriously, he also regretted it in his heart, Zhang Jingjiang had told him before leaving, no matter what, he couldn't leave, if that was the case, others just wanted to help him and couldn't help.

Feng Yi let out a sneer: "What they mean is to let you go, go by yourself, you not only kill the notoriety of the heroes, but also get benefits; As for you, you have not only lost military power, but also borne the notoriety of being irresponsible. ”

Chiang Kai-shek nodded after pondering and admitted: "Then what should I do?" ”

"Do nothing, wait." Feng Yi showed a resolute look: "But you must firmly control the military power, and all the commanders who lead the troops must be trustworthy people." ”

Chiang Kai-shek understood what he meant, he thought about it, got up and returned to his desk, and picked up the phone.

"Give me the military headquarters of the First Army in Shantou and find Commander He."

After a while, the phone went through.

"Respect," Chiang Kai-shek pondered for a moment before he said heavily: "I may be dismissed, you must take the first army with you, and don't wronged the brothers." ”

"Why? Headmaster, why is that? Why should they remove you from office? He Yingqin was shocked and asked repeatedly.

"You don't care about this, if someone wants to harm me, you can take the army with you, don't go with me, I'll just go alone." Chiang Kai-shek said tactfully.

"Principal, you're leaving, it's no fun for me to continue working, I'll go home too, they sit in the rivers and mountains we bleed, and they can't even tolerate you, is there any reason for this." He Yingqin was very angry and rushed out.

"If, I said if, if..., can you support me?" Chiang Kai-shek asked hesitantly.

He Yingqin immediately understood that Chiang Kai-shek was asking him if the First Army would listen to him if he counterattacked. He Yingqin said without hesitation: "Principal, the first army is yours, and the officers and men of the whole army promise to obey your orders, and they have no second thoughts. ”

He Yingqin deeply knew that he was already tied to Huangpu, and Huangpu Xing, then he should be Qinxing; If Huangpu declines, then he He Yingqin also declines. And Chiang Kai-shek's position in the Whampoa system is currently unreplaceable.

Putting down the phone, Chiang Kai-shek looked at Feng Yi, Feng Yi nodded: "He Jingzhi is reliable, and he can't rely on those [***] members." You have to face not only the enemies of the party, but also Soviet Russia. ”

After thinking about it, Chiang Kai-shek said: "For the time being, we can't move them, but it's easy to move them, and we can detain them all with just one order." ”

In Juxiande Restaurant, Wu Chaoshu was entertaining Russian advisers, the wine table was full of cups and plates, his secretary suddenly came in and gave him a look, Wu Chaoshu nodded knowingly, after a while he stood up, pretended to be respectful and walked out of the door of the private room, his secretary then followed, the two did not speak, turned around twice along the aisle, turned into another private room, Feng Yi was sitting at the table and drinking himself.
