"After the court verified, the Jianshanzui Mining Area, Lingshan Mining Area, and Chengchao Mining Area under the Hanyeping Company, which were originally developed by the Eyuan Company established by Hu Sixian, Gu Wenrong and others, the squire of Daye County, were developed in the third year of the Republic of China, and the Hanyeping Company relied on its own forces, colluded with the former Hubei warlords to take advantage of it, and took it for itself, and this court now pronounces a judgment that the Jianshanzui Mining Area, Lingshan Mining Area, and Chengchao Mining Area shall be returned to the Eyuan Company, and the Hanyeping Company shall be sentenced to compensate the Eyuan Company for the losses of 6 million oceans over the years, and this compensation must be handed over to the court within 10 days. This judgment is final and cannot be appealed. With the words of the trial judge, there were cheers of victory inside and outside the courtroom, and the officials of the headquarters left the courtroom with Tie Qing, and the representative of Han Yeping Company also left the courtroom with their heads down.

In the following days, the news media in Hubei, then north to Pingjin, and south to Guangzhou, Guangzhou, and Guangxi reported one after another, and then various localities launched actions against the merchants and goods, and a severance of economic relations with the economy from Wuhan spread to the whole country with the news media reports. In the midst of all the waves, the news that the political axe announced the evacuation of overseas Chinese from Wuhan, Guangxi, and Yucheng and the temporary closure of the consulates in Yucheng and Nanning was like a small wave or two, and disappeared without attracting attention.

Another wave that no one paid attention to was that after the Eyuan Company repossessed the Jianshanzui Mining Area, the Lingshan Mining Area, the Chengchao Mining Area, and the Jinshan Mining Area as compensation, it quickly sold these mining areas to the American ZV Steel Company.

"This Cultural Revolution will really make trouble for me." Chiang Kai-shek, who was in Zhengzhou, was not happy when he held the reports from various places, but sighed heavily.

Zhuang Jihua's planned action was originally just to recover the iron ore of Hanyeping Company and find raw materials for the Hanyang Iron and Steel Plant, but no one expected that the news media would add fuel to the fire, and actually set off such a big wave in the whole country, and the industries of the merchants in various places were impacted, and the Nanjing ambassador made a solemn protest, and Xiong Bin, who was sent to negotiate with the commander of the Kwantung Army, Muto Nobuyoshi, reported that the attitude of the company was very tough, in addition to asking the [***] team to withdraw from the front line of the Great Wall, and withdraw from eastern and northern Hebei; In addition, there is a clause for banning local anti-Japanese organizations and protecting the businessmen.

At the same time, the front-line army launched a more ferocious attack, Zhang Xueliang was forced to transfer the main force of the Northeast Army gathered in Pingjin to the front, and Chiang Kai-shek also ordered the transfer of Song Xilian's 87th Division and Shangguan Yunxiang's division in the Wuhan area from the Nanjing garrison, and Wei Lihuang's 14th Army, which was suppressing bandits in Hubei, Henan, and Anhui, to rush north to Pingjin.

"There is still some truth in Zhuang's report on the Cultural Revolution," Lin Wei said after thinking about it: "This time, relying on the terrain of the Great Wall area, we will fight with Yueben, first, to tell Yue that we have the strength to fight with them, which can delay their invasion of China; In addition, he also told the people that the political axe is determined. In the future, no one can say that the political axe will not resist. ”

Zhuang Jihua made an analysis of the situation to Chiang Kai-shek after his last visit to Nanjing, believing that using the terrain of the Great Wall area to fight with the Yue army, even if the battle is defeated, can achieve the role of training the troops and showing strength, and then can delay the pace of invasion of China, enhance the confidence of the people, and buy time for preparing for a full-scale war.

After Chiang Kai-shek summoned Yang Yongtai, Lin Wei and others to discuss, he thought that this method was feasible, so before going to Jiangxi, he transferred Wei Lihuang's headquarters stationed in northern Hubei, Henan and Anhui to southern Hebei as a contingency. When he went from the northwest of Jiangxi, he sent Song Xilian and Shangguan Yunxiang to the north together.

"Although the Cultural Revolution has dark means, it is not a big problem for the country." Yang Yongtai thought about it and said that the changes in the past few months have made people a little dizzy and at a loss. To tell the truth, when Zhuang Jihua asked for the Hanyang Iron and Steel Plant, he was a little strange, because the Hanyang Iron and Steel Plant is not a state, it is a Hanyeping company, even if it is bought, there is no ore, the steel plant is useless, the source of iron ore is Daye Iron Mine, and Hanyeping Company will never sell Daye Iron Mine, because the ore of Daye Iron Mine will be used to repay the debt; But I didn't expect Daye Iron Mine to get it in a blink of an eye.

"It's not surprising, he used to be like this," Chiang Kai-shek said without surprise: "It's just that how can this situation be controlled now?" Just mess up? What if Ben starts an all-out war in a fit of rage? ”

This is what Chiang Kai-shek is most worried about, once the situation gets out of control, he will launch a full-scale war, suppress bandits at home, reorganize the army, and develop the southwest without any eyebrows, so what resistance will he take? How to resist? The transfer of the 87th Division to the north has weakened the defenses of the Nanjing area, and it is already taking risks.

"Is it for all localities to stop radical actions?" Yang Yongtai suggested worriedly.

"What are the movements of the army in Shanghai?" Chiang Kai-shek asked Lin Wei.

"Aside from the addition of a few warships, there are no other bigger moves." Lin Wei replied.

"Report to the principal, the Southwest Development Team, Zhuang Wenge telegram." Xiao Zanyu came in and reported.

"Read."

"There are pros and cons to this move, and the advantage is that it can further solidify the people's hearts and unite the people of the whole country; The disadvantage is that it may lead to the early outbreak of all-out war, so students suggest that the United States or Germany mediate to reach an armistice. ”

"It seems that he has the same concerns as us." Lin Wei praised it on the surface, but he didn't think so, he didn't care about it after burning a fire, how could it be so easy to mediate.

"Does Liv have any information there?" Chiang Kai-shek asked with a frown. Yang Yongtai was stunned, his relationship with Chen Lifu was very poor, and Chen Lifu's official document was not handed over to him at all.

"Chen Lifu has very little information about the book." Yang Yongtai reacted very quickly and immediately put the blame on Chen Lifu.

"You don't know, seven years ago, when the Cultural Revolution was in Guangzhou, he sent spies to Yueben," Chiang Kai-shek looked to the south and said coldly, at first he didn't think so, but now it seems that he is really far-sighted: "When Chen Lifu received the intelligence department, he received it." ”

Yang Yongtai and Lin Wei were both shocked in their hearts, they sent spies to Yuben seven years ago, this Zhuang Cultural Revolution is so powerful? He saw at that time that there was a big war between China and China?

"How can such a thing happen?" Lin Wei asked in surprise: "Why didn't Lifu have any information when 918 and 128 came?" ”

"That's what Zhuang Jihua once said, those spies, they can't move for ten years, Chen Lifu also agreed, he didn't send anyone to contact him before 128, and only after 128 did he strengthen the intelligence work on Yueben. The difference between them is that the Cultural Revolution is full of offensive spirit and dares to think and do; Liv is a little lacking in this area, but overall it is still doing well. Chiang Kai-shek casually commented: "When Lifu was studying intelligence affairs in the intelligence department, the Cultural Revolution had a deep impact on him; But after the capital of Nanjing, he mainly focused on party affairs, and the intelligence work was handed over to Xu Enzeng, who was too far behind them. ”

"Is it too late to take action?" Yang Yongtai was very puzzled, but this was not what he was most concerned about: "In addition, Chairman of the Committee, the pace of southwest development must be faster, He Guoguang will be the head of the Southwest Staff Corps, and the mayor of Yucheng City needs to be considered as soon as possible." ”

"I think the Cultural Revolution is very suitable." Lin Wei immediately replied first, after the last time he talked to He Jinhan on the phone, he inquired about Deng Wenyi, Xiao Zanyu, Qian Dajun and other Whampoa generals from the side, especially He Jinhan's words left a deep impression on him, so help Zhuang Jihua now, and these things will naturally reach Zhuang Jihua's ears in the future.

"No, Zhuang Wenge's power is already very large," Yang Yongtai counted with his fingers: "Deputy Director of the Resources Committee, Captain of the Southwest Development Task Force, Deputy Mayor of Yucheng City, has administrative and military power over Yucheng and the surrounding sixteen counties; This kind of grasping both military and political affairs is very inappropriate, and it will be a source of chaos in the future. ”

"In extraordinary times, extraordinary things should be done," Lin Wei retorted: "The development of the southwest must have the cooperation of the local administrative department, and letting him serve as the administration can speed up the development of the southwest." What's more, the cadres under Zhuang Jihua are all students of the chairman, and they were all sent to him by the chairman, why can't he lose his tail? ”

"This is even more worrying," Yang Yongtai said even more worriedly: "The Blue Coat Society is very strong now, and many leading officers in the army have also joined. ”

Lin Wei immediately shut up, the development of the Blue Coat Society is very strong, Hu Zongnan, Song Xilian, Gui Yongqing, Huang Jie and others who led the troops in the army have joined one after another, the Blue Coat Society has not only developed in the army, but also in the party affairs system and the police system, the police system in Wuhan, Nanjing, Shanghai, and Zhejiang has fallen into their hands, and the secret service in charge of Dai Li has developed into a new intelligence agency, although the strength is still small, but the development momentum is very fast; In addition, there is also a special team led by Kang Ze Reading.

Chiang Kai-shek didn't say anything, Yang Yongtai had said this kind of thing many times, but Chiang Kai-shek knew in his heart that it was impossible for the southwest development to leave Zhuang Jihua, otherwise where would the huge amount of money needed come from.

"Chairman, Southwest Zhuang Cultural Revolution Telegraph." This time it was Secretary Chen Fang who came to report.

"Read." Chiang Kai-shek still spat out only one word.

"An analysis of the all-out war," Chen Fang picked up the telegram and read: "In 1929, the world economy regressed in the Great Depression, and the economy was also hit hard, and it was said that the Great Depression was only two years old and that the economy had not fully recovered, so they were not yet economically ready for war, and the European and American countries did not allow the Great Wall to easily step into the Great Wall, as evidenced by the fact that Manchukuo had not yet been recognized by various countries, so it was not prepared diplomaticallyIn the end, it was said that the standing divisions of the army were ten, and there was no news of their expansion so far, so the students believed that the military operation within the Great Wall was an unauthorized action of the young Zhuang faction of the Kwantung Army, and as long as we could hold out for another two months and block the army on the line of the Great Wall, we would have accepted mediation and achieved an armistice. ”
