As soon as Chiang Kai-shek's words fell, an elderly woman with plain clothes and gray hair came out of the small building, came to Song Meiling's side, and whispered: "Miss, your phone." ”

"Who's?" Song Meiling didn't want to leave, this conversation became more and more interesting, and it became more and more attractive to him.

"The gate guard, they said there was a young lady who claimed to be your niece, surnamed May, from the United States."

"Mei..., it's that little girl, yes, that's right, it's my niece, Mother Wu, you tell them, let her in." Song Meiling suddenly remembered the little girl in Los Angeles many years ago.

Hearing their conversation, Zhuang Jihua's head buzzed, he knew who was coming, but he didn't know how this girl got here, and he dared to find it directly, why didn't Mei Yuntian stop her.

"Cultural Revolution, your plan is very flawed," Chiang Kai-shek knocked on Zhuang Jihua's extortion, his heart was somewhat balanced, and the breath that had been held for five years was also calculated, and Zhuang Jihua went to engage in construction It was also beneficial to him: "You don't know the situation in Sichuan, Sichuan is the province with the most [***] valves in the whole country, and the strength is led by Liu Wenhui, Liu Xiang's uncle and nephew, and other Deng Xihou, Tian Songyao, Yang Sen, etc., more than a dozen large and small, some of these people listen to the central government, some do not listen, and even secretly oppose the central government, The central government is also out of reach, and it is powerless to interfere for the time being. In order to fight the war and raise the army, these people levied extremely heavy taxes in their respective defense areas, the least one field tax has been collected to the Republic of China for 31 years (that is, the tax of 1942 was collected in advance), and the most has been collected for more than 40 years of the Republic of China, so if you enter Sichuan alone, the result can only be slaughtered by these people as a fat sheep, and what you have to do can only be the moon in the water, so you can't enter the Sichuan like this. ”

The risk mentioned by Chiang Kai-shek Zhuang Jihua was not unexpected, so he prepared a billion dollars of unexpected funds, which was to prepare to deal with these wolves who could not be fed, but now that he has uncovered the mustard with Chiang Kai-shek, there should be a better way, so Zhuang Jihua said tentatively: "What does the principal mean..." ”

"You have to have an identity, enter Sichuan as a political axe official, and then do these things in the name of the political axe, so that they have concerns, do you say yes?"

Before Chiang Kai-shek's words were finished, Zhuang Jihua knew that this was a good idea, and he was sincerely thinking about him, and before he could express his opinion, he heard He Jinhan say: "The principal is right, the Cultural Revolution must not enter Sichuan in vain, and..." He Jinhan looked at Zhuang Jihua and Chiang Kai-shek: "This is for the country and the people, and we should mobilize more people to participate." ”

"Is it good to make too much noise? If the side reacts, how will it respond? Yu Jishi immediately raised questions, saying that Ben had put a lot of pressure on the national political axe, and Chiang Kai-shek could only compromise every time.

Zhuang Jihua frowned and thought about it and said: "There is no need to make the momentum too big, gather useful people, key people, gather these people, and make a name, such as the development committee or something, and go to Sichuan in this name." ”

"Useful people? The key person? He Jinhan was a little confused: "Cultural Revolution, who people are you referring to?" ”

"Specialists, scholars, concentrate the intelligence of these elites, from point to surface, in a short time, to build a national industry." Zhuang Jihua said simply.

"Recently, Hu Shi, Jiang Tinghuang, Ding Wenjiang and others have published articles in succession, saying that they suggest that political axes and scientists work together to deal with the current predicament facing the country." Chiang Kai-shek said: "The Cultural Revolution was the same as their idea, gathering the intelligence of the whole country and preparing for war. ”

When a nation is in danger, the first to notice is always the elite of the nation, Hu Shi, Jiang Tinghuang, and Ding Wenjiang founded the "Reading Power Review" after returning from abroad, calling on the political axe and the intellectual community to join hands to prepare for the war of resistance.

"Weng Wenhao and Qian Changzhao wrote me a letter a few days ago, suggesting that the resources of the whole country be surveyed, the economy should be adjusted, and the currency should be unified to facilitate the preparation for war." Chiang Kai-shek said and remembered Zhuang Jihua's words just now, and his heart suddenly moved, resistance is the common demand of all strata in the country, am I wrong? No, no, I can't provoke an all-out war so quickly, I should still have time, and the fourth encirclement and suppression must speed up the deployment and exterminate the Communist Party within three years.

Zhuang Jihua didn't notice that Chiang Kai-shek's mind turned countless times at this moment, and the information revealed by Chiang Kai-shek made him deeply encouraged, and the elite of this country, the essence of the nation, had begun to act.

"Okay, this name is called the Resources Committee," Zhuang Jihua smiled, this time with a sincere smile: "I will provide the funds." ”

Chiang Kai-shek shook his head slightly stunned and said: "This is not good, they are the staff of the National Political Axe, and they should be included in the establishment of the National Political Axe." ”

Zhuang Jihua looked at Chiang Kai-shek a little unexpectedly, came to his senses, and quickly explained: "The principal is right, I was reckless." ”

Song Meiling smiled and said: "The Cultural Revolution is a good intention, the financial situation of the national political axe is very tight, the salary of experts and scholars is not a small amount, the Cultural Revolution also wants to speed up the construction of the country, share the worries of the country, the name of the resource committee is good, the Cultural Revolution contributed a sum of money, as a start-up capital, this money will first go to the Ministry of Finance, and then allocated to the resources committee, and the special fund will be used." ”

Chiang Kai-shek nodded, and Zhuang Jihua sighed: "Okay, I'll give another 10 million... Ocean. ”

Zhuang Jihua felt a little uncomfortable in his heart, Lao Tzu had become a boy with scattered wealth, just at this moment, he went out for 110 million, and the 100 million US dollars were exchanged for more than 500 million oceans, and before he left, he went to one-fifth, and Zhuang Jihua was also a little painful.

"I will be the director of this resource committee, and you will be the deputy director of the Cultural Revolution, responsible for the specific work." It was not that Chiang Kai-shek wanted to seize power, but that he instinctively felt the complexity of the matter and wanted to improve the status of the committee.

"I'm the deputy director?" Zhuang Jihua shook his head after thinking about it: "I'm afraid it's not suitable, I'm going to Sichuan, I don't have much time in Nanjing, so let's find someone else." ”

"Is this good, choose a few more deputy directors, there are many things that need to be done to prepare for the war, all aspects, it is difficult for one person to take care of them, the situation in Sichuan is complicated, you must have a shrewd and capable person, and the Cultural Revolution is the best candidate." He Jinhan was very keen, and immediately proposed a solution.

"Okay," Chiang Kai-shek looked at He Jinhan and Zhuang Jihua and nodded in agreement: "Cultural Revolution, you can't enter Sichuan alone, you have to bring some people in, experts and scholars, and the army that protects them." ”

Zhuang Jihua immediately noticed the article in it, and he thought for a while: "The principal is right, but I'm afraid it's not good to have too many people, it will attract the attention of others, too few and not enough, principal, how do you see the establishment of a regiment?" ”

"Well, well, not in the name of the army, in the name of the convoy." Chiang Kai-shek smiled, and it seemed that Zhuang Jihua understood what he meant.

"Brother Enlargement, I heard that some Huangpu classmates are unemployed, and they can only rely on the monthly living expenses provided by the alumni association, see if you can give them all to me, in addition, I don't want ordinary soldiers, the minimum escort team must be sergeants, and those with combat experience are the best." Zhuang Jihua turned his head and looked at Song Xilian again as he spoke.

"No problem, Headmaster, or take some out of my troops like that." Song Xilian immediately expressed his support out of righteousness, but he did not know what Chiang Kai-shek and Zhuang Jihua wanted to do.

"Yes, but you have to pay attention to the fact that your troops have not recovered their vitality, and it is not appropriate to transfer too many people," Chiang Kai-shek's fingers tapped lightly on his thighs: "In this way, Cultural Revolution, Junshan, you go down to discuss, and then report to me." ”

"Is this good, let Junshan and Brother Enlargement discuss, I will go around and visit those experts and scholars, they are more important." Zhuang Jihua thought about it and suggested.

"Okay, Shanghai, Nanjing, Hangzhou, all the major schools are going to take a walk, and I order all localities to fully cooperate with you." Chiang Kai-shek immediately agreed, but he was very impressed by Zhuang Jihua's cleverness in his heart.

At this time, Zhuang Jihua saw Wu Ma leading a familiar figure over, and immediately said: "Let's talk about it here today, but please keep it secret." ”

"The Cultural Revolution is right," Chiang Kai-shek also saw the girl brought in by Wu's mother, and immediately said: "Not a word of what is said here today can be passed on." ”

Chiang Kai-shek's tone became very stern at the end, and He Jinhan and the others stood up at the same time and responded: "Yes, principal." ”

Song Meiling smiled and shook her head gently, then stood up elegantly and walked towards Mother Wu, the girl ran over with a smile as soon as she saw Song Meiling: "Third aunt!" You're going to kill me. ”

"You little girl has become a big girl now, when did you return to China? Why didn't you send a telegram beforehand, so I could send someone to pick you up? Song Meiling smiled and pulled her to her side and looked her up and down.

The girl is about twenty years old, with a melon seed face, a white jade-like face, a pair of thin curved eyebrows and deep and bright eyes like black jewels, a handsome and straight nose, thin lips, a purple women's hat obliquely worn on her thick hair, a yellow dress outlining a slender figure, and half-heeled leather shoes under her feet look fashionable and beautiful.

The two looked intimate and chuckled softly, and after talking, Song Meiling was surprised: "Youlan, are you alone?" What about the others? ”

"Auntie, what about Uncle? I haven't met my uncle yet. You Lanjiao asked with a smile, but her dark eyes glanced at Chiang Kai-shek, and suddenly showed a hint of surprise: "Brother Zhuang!" ”

As he spoke, he dragged Song Meiling to this side, Zhuang Jihua smiled bitterly at Chiang Kai-shek, Chiang Kai-shek turned his head to look at Song Meiling and Youlan who came over, and asked a little strangely: "Do you know?" ”

Zhuang Jihua nodded and muttered in a low voice: "It's troublesome." ”
