Zhuang Jihua's room is not big, the living room is simply placed with a few chairs and a coffee table, not even a sofa, after Zhuang Jihua let Huang Shaohong in, he asked Du Yuming to take Song Yunfei and Wu Ziniu to another room.

"Does Seishiro Itagaki know?" After Huang Shaohong waited for Du Yuming and Song Yunfei to leave the room, the first sentence was very serious.

"I've heard of it, but I don't know very well, it seems to be a soldier." Zhuang Jihua looked at Dai Li on the side as he spoke, and when he saw that the person who came in with Huang Shaohong was actually him, he decided to ask Du Yuming to avoid this conversation, because he didn't go to Chadong, so there was no need to get involved.

Dai Li sat beside Huang Shaohong in silence, he felt the doubt in Zhuang Jihua's eyes, he knew the agreement between Zhuang Jihua and Chiang Kai-shek, but this time there was no way, he could only rely on him.

"Itagaki Seishiro is a senior staff officer of the Kwantung Army, who planned the September 18 Incident, and is now the head of the Mukden secret service, but he has been in Tianjin since October last year to preside over the so-called work in North China." Huang Shaohong said solemnly that a large part of his mission is to deal with this Itagaki Seishiro: "This North China work is to plot against the Central [***] team, he contacted Duan Qirui, Wu Peifu, Sun Chuanfang, Zhang Jingyao and a number of Beiyang defeated generals, wanting to use them to plot against the old department and carry out the work in North China; In January this year, the chairman of the NPC National Committee sent Qian Yongming to the north with his handwritten letter, inviting Duan Qirui and Wu Peifu to go south, Duan Qirui had already gone south, Wu Peifu's attitude was very clear, he supported the Kuomintang's political axe to resist the war, and would never collude with Yue himself, Sun Chuanfang also closed his door to thank guests, only Zhang Jingyao's attitude was ambiguous, and we estimate that he may collude with Yue himself. ”

Zhuang Jihua listened silently, Huang Shaohong said so much, in fact, it has little to do with Chadong, Chahar's current forces are mainly Song Zheyuan and Fu Zuoyi, and other small forces do not play a major role.

"The purpose of doing this is naturally to disperse our country's strength, we can guard against them, and if we don't listen to persuasion, the central government can order sanctions, and now the trouble is Feng Yuxiang," Huang Shaohong said lightly: "Feng Yuxiang erected a flag in Zhangjiakou to recruit troops, and the 3,000 military cadets of his Fenyang Military Academy have arrived in Zhangjiakou, after the main force of the 29th Army was transferred to the Great Wall to participate in the war, there were only a few troops left in Zhangjiakou, led by Tong Linge, deputy commander of the 29th Army. Later, Li Fuying's troops were transferred to reinforce Chadong, I'm afraid you already know this. ”

Zhuang Jihua nodded and said that he already knew about these situations, and Huang Shaohong continued: "Yunong, let's talk about it next." ”

Dai Li nodded and looked at Zhuang Jihua respectfully and said, "Senior, before and after Feng Yuxiang erected the banner of resistance in Zhangjiakou, the principal sent someone to send him a letter, asking him to go south to discuss state affairs, but he ignored it; In addition, his old troops Ji Hongchang, Fang Zhenwu, and Lei Zhongtian responded one after another, and they instigated rebellions everywhere, and the original anti-Japanese volunteers and Rehe garrisons who retreated to Chadong were also a little shaken and began to send people to contact Feng Yuxiang. ”

Dai Li said that he came here to see Zhuang Jihua, and then said: "According to the information we have, Feng Yuxiang also has contacts with the Communist Party, [***] The Shunzhi Provincial Party Committee and the Hebei Provincial Party Committee have set up a front-line working committee and sent many people to Feng Yuxiang's side. ”

"Is there a list?" Zhuang Jihua interjected and asked, but he was very strange in his heart, since he knew, why didn't he take action, but he wanted to discuss it with him, what does this mean? Test? Or something else?

"No, but there is a person who has been recognized by our people," Dai Li said and glanced at Zhuang Jihua worriedly, and continued when he saw that he didn't say anything: "This person's name is Zhang Jinjian, the former [***] Propaganda Minister of the Shunzhi Provincial Party Committee, who was arrested by us in Tianjin and imprisoned for a year, and later found out that he had been expelled from the Communist Party before he was arrested, and we didn't have any trouble for him. ”

Huang Shaohong is a little strange Dai Li's attitude, Dai Li is the director of the secret service of the Blue Coat Society, the secret service has developed very rapidly in the past year or so, and there is a faint tendency to compete with the Central Special Investigation Bureau headed by Chen Lifu and Xu Enzeng, although Dai Li is not ostentatious, people who know the inside story give three points to this rising star, but today Huang Shaohong is alive to see that Dai Li is not only respectful to Zhuang Jihua, but can even be said to be a little scared.

"Now that you know, why don't you take action?" Zhuang Jihua seemed to be a little dissatisfied, and his tone was stiff.

"Chahar is Feng Yuxiang's territory, the central power there has not been strong, but after Feng Yuxiang erected the flag there, the secret service began to infiltrate there, on the whole, our strength in North China is still very weak, Beiping Station and Tianjin Station have just been established, Chahar has not yet set up a station." A hint of surprise flashed in Huang Shaohong's eyes, Dai Li actually revealed the strength of the secret service in the north in front of him, it seems that he is quite jealous of Zhuang Jihua.

"What's more, Feng Yuxiang has played a very good banner, and this banner is very confusing, confusing many people, and the press is adding fuel to the fire, and the principal is also a bogey." Dai Li felt very sorry, he wanted to do it, but Chahar did not have a central army at all, all kinds of forces were in the hands of Song Zheyuan, Feng Yuxiang was Song Zheyuan's old boss, he wanted to speak, and Song Zheyuan didn't dare to do anything.

"General Ji Kuan, what do you think?" Zhuang Jihua turned his head and asked Huang Shaohong again.

"What else can I say, let's seek a comeback, Feng Yuxiang's purpose is too obvious." Huang Shaohong said lightly that for ordinary people, resistance is a very dazzling banner, but for an old politician like Huang Shaohong, who has been rolling in the Chinese political arena for many years, he can see through his purpose at a glance.

Zhuang Jihua pondered for a moment and said, "Then I'm going to ask General Ji Kuan for advice, what is the strategy for going to Chadong?" ”

"The chairman of the committee means to replace the suppression with appeasement, and to divide and disintegrate; It is better not to use force. After Huang Shaohong finished speaking, he took out a stack of letters of appointment from his leather bag: "That's all the chairman can give you." ”

Zhuang Jihua didn't immediately reach out to pick it up, he thought for a while and said, "Yunong, did the principal tell you?" I had a pact with him. ”

Dai Li glanced at Huang Shaohong slightly embarrassed and said, "I know, but since the senior is going to Chadong, the principal means to solve these problems by the way." ”

Zhuang Jihua smiled wordlessly, thought for a moment and asked, "If I follow my method to solve the problem, will the principal also agree?" ”

"What does the senior mean...?" Dai Li asked cautiously.

"General Ji Kuan said that it is better not to use force, I think this is the only correct way, now you can't aggravate the situation, everything must be subordinated to military action, their purpose is to use Feng Yuxiang, Feng Yuxiang is not a fool He will understand after a while, then he will take action himself, or give it again, or return to Mount Tai to study, so as long as Feng Yuxiang changes, their banner will not be able to continue. If the principal agrees with this principle, I will do it. Zhuang Jihua said slowly, Dai Li replied: "Well, the principal's instructions are that the seniors are fully responsible. ”

After he finished speaking, he glanced at Huang Shaohong, Chiang Kai-shek asked him to come with Huang Shaohong, which itself contained the meaning of letting Huang Shaohong be a lobbyist, Huang Shaohong knew this, so he came to see Zhuang Jihua with Dai Li.

After Zhuang Jihua heard this, he nodded slowly, and then looked at Dai Li with a smile: "You won't play any tricks for me, and set up some traps, right?" ”

Dai Li hurriedly said: "Don't dare, the principal puts the senior in charge, and I naturally fully support the senior." ”

Zhuang Jihua didn't say anything, turned his head to Huang Shaohong and said, "General Ji Kuan, have you found any problems?" ”

Huang Shaohong was a little puzzled, thought for a while and asked, "Do you want to talk about Jingzhi's deployment?" ”

"No," Zhuang Jihua shook his head and said, "I'm talking about news and public opinion." The national political axe is gradually getting out of control of the press and public opinion. Look at it, the Battle of Nantianmen was so tragic, but there were very few people who reported for duty, why is this? Looking at the newspapers in the north and south, it seems that only Xifengkou is fighting on the entire Great Wall, thinking about Feng Yuxiang's erection of the flag to recruit troops, why did the news media spread so quickly? Extending a little further, the 128th Shanghai War of Resistance, the Jiangxi Suppression of Bandits, the Central Plains War, and so on, the news and public opinion reports, my feeling is that in the long run, the national political axe will eventually lose control of public opinion. ”

After Huang Shaohong thought about it, he felt that what Zhuang Jihua said was true, but he said: "Reporter, what you like to write, what you don't like to write, let him go, and then talk about press freedom, you have to control this, some people will say that you control public opinion, and you have to engage in reading." ”

Dai Li was very touched: "The senior is right, these newspapers should have been governed a long time ago, like Shanghai's "Declaration" to openly publicize the redness and fight against the political axe, this kind of newspaper should be resolutely cracked down." ”

Huang Shaohong resolutely objected: "Yunong, this thing can't be done, this is to suppress public opinion, and it will cause the news media everywhere to oppose it, which is not good for the political axe." ”

Dai Li, however, said indifferently: "What is the matter, how can we suppress the propaganda of the Communist Party if we do not take resolute measures, and the most powerful weapon of the Communist Party is their propaganda." ”

Huang Shaohong raised his eyebrows: "Freedom of the press is an important part of Sanming's righteousness, and it is an important means to protect civil rights. ”

Dai Li obviously didn't want to debate with Huang Shaohong, he just smiled faintly and kept silent. However, Zhuang Jihua said: "It is a time of war, and if you look at it, the content of the meeting in Jurentang can be read in the newspapers in Tianjin the next day. ”

Huang Shaohong was dumbfounded, this kind of thing happened too much, two months ago, Chiang Kai-shek secretly came to Beiping, and within a few days, the newspapers in Tianjin reported Chiang Kai-shek's itinerary in detail, and even Chiang Kai-shek met with those officials and generals listed them one by one, which provoked Chiang Kai-shek to be furious, and strictly ordered Dai Li to track down the leaker, but in the end it was gone.

"The press should be free, but freedom should not be overflowing, even in Europe and the United States in wartime, the press must be controlled." Zhuang Jihua said with a smile.

Dai Li knew that Zhuang Jihua must have an idea, and he asked softly, "What does the senior mean?" How? ”

"I suggest you take a good look at the methods of news management in Soviet Russia, their methods are the most effective." Zhuang Jihua said calmly: "You can't see a single article criticizing Stalin in the newspaper. ”

Huang Shaohong and Dai Li were stupid at the same time, learning from Soviet Russia? What is this, Sanming boiled righteousness to learn from socialism??? Dai Li looked at Zhuang Jihua in confusion, Zhuang Jihua just smiled, and then stopped saying anything.
