After a while, Zhuang Jihua felt his gaffe, he sat down slowly, and asked in a deep voice: "What's going on, tell me in Tian." ”

Li Zhilong raised his head painfully and saw that Zhuang Jihua lowered again, Zhuang Jihua was a little anxious: "Things have happened, tell me what." ”

Pan Huiqin also persuaded: "You just tell me about the Cultural Revolution, don't you often say that the Cultural Revolution has many ideas?" Let him help you think about it. ”

After a long time, Li Zhilong raised his head, and his face was full of pain: "Before we got married, some people reported to their superiors, saying that I live [***], pursue the taste of bourgeois life, and I am not worthy of being a party member for the party's image." Recently, the organizational punishment was down, and he was expelled from the party for one year. ”

What is this matter, but I didn't expect Li Zhilong to say again: "In addition, the organization requires party members to hand over part of their salaries as the organization's funds, but I didn't pay the subsidy, and I was also found out." ”

Zhuang Jihua couldn't cry or laugh, Liu Yinshu secretly smacked her tongue, remembering what Zhuang Jihua said, the two corroborated each other, and Zhuang Jihua's judgment was even more convincing, even people like Li Zhilong couldn't do it, let alone talk about other people.

"I joined the party in 21 years, and I never thought of leaving the party, the Cultural Revolution, I am very confused now, I don't know what to do?" Li Zhilong said bitterly.

Zhuang Jihua shook his head, until now he still doesn't understand the [***] people at this time, most of them are so selfless, willing to sacrifice everything for the revolution, willing to live an ascetic life, not only ask for themselves but also ask for their companions, what is even more terrifying is that this behavior is from the heart, maybe this is the reason why they finally won the victory, this thought flashed through Zhuang Jihua's mind in an instant.

But when I think about it, those people in the previous life, he deeply regretted their dedication today, and had a deep hatred for those corrupt officials in the previous life.

Zhuang Jihua shook his head, squeezing some distracting thoughts out of his mind, and he asked tentatively: "Since you have been expelled, you can only face reality, by the way, what does it mean to be expelled from the party for one year?" ”

"It's this year that I'm no longer a member of [***], and a year later, the organization will see my performance, and then I will be reinstated as a member of the party." Li Zhilong said.

"Oh," Zhuang Jihua understood: "Then what do you think." ”

"What else can I think, I can only perform well and return to the organization after a year." Li Zhilong said sullenly.

"In that case, what are you going to do?" Zhuang Jihua asked again.

"Although they don't recognize me as a party member, I still think I am a party member, and I still keep the party fee and pay it after a year; The navy continues to investigate smuggling and resolutely put an end to smuggling. Li Zhilong said with a firm expression: "I want them to see if I am a member of the [***] team." ”

"Then I'm afraid your last name is ninety percent." Zhuang Jihua remained silent and immediately made up for him.

Li Zhilong was greeted with a basin of cold water, and the emotions that had just risen were immediately extinguished, and he stared at Zhuang Jihua in confusion, waiting for his explanation.

Zhuang Jihua poured him a glass of wine, Li Zhilong did not move, Zhuang Jihua picked up the wine glass and touched the wine glass in front of him lightly, took a sip of dryness, and then said: "Zaitian, you are older than me in terms of age, I should call you big brother," said Zhuang Jihua gave himself another glass of wine, and only after drinking it dry did he say: "It's not strange that you were punished by me, I am going to leave the army, I am afraid that there will be few opportunities to drink like this in the future, Zaitian, you don't know, I have been worried about you, and now I just punished you within [***], I'm worried that the Kuomintang will punish you in the future. ”

Zhuang Jihua's words made Li Zhilong and Pan Huiqin change color at the same time, they didn't know what Zhuang Jihua meant by this, Pan Huiqin couldn't hold her breath at first, she asked with a disgraced face: "Cultural Revolution, did you hear anything?" ”

Zhuang Jihua shook his head: "You don't need to listen, just use your brain to understand." At this time last year, Zaitian was still a lieutenant, and he became a lieutenant general in a year, this promotion speed is probably unprecedented, and it is difficult to have a comer in the future, four great glories for Zaitian, so you forget, honor and danger go hand in hand, early birds are eaten by insects, early insects are eaten by birds, everything is relative; You have risen so fast, and the number of people who are jealous of you has increased invisibly; You are fighting smuggling in the navy, although you are right, but you have offended almost all the important officers in the navy, and now we count what are your enemies? People who are jealous of you, people who have harmed your interests because of smuggling, and people who want to be the ruler, you can now be said to be enemies on all sides in the field. I have repeatedly advised you to walk around with the principal more, why should I do this? It's just that I think you need a foreign aid, and President Jiang is the best candidate, but you don't listen, you have to mix with Chairman Wang, I tell you in Tian, you are really going to have an accident, and Chairman Wang can't help at all. ”

Zhuang Jihua didn't plan to speak lightly today, but instead hit hard, he didn't know if it would be too late, but he wanted to remind Li Zhilong that even if he didn't listen, he would have fulfilled his responsibility as a friend.

Li Zhilong and Pan Huiqin were stunned, they didn't expect Zhuang Jihua to say it so clearly, and Zhuang Jihua showed great dissatisfaction with Wang Jingwei. This was the first time Pan Huiqin had a formal conversation with Zhuang Jihua, and she looked at him as if she didn't know Zhuang Jihua.

"Chairman Wang is the chairman of the National Political Axe, the chairman of the Military Committee, and the superior of the president, the Cultural Revolution, why do you treat him like this." Pan Huiqin asked puzzled.

"His main problem is his surname, the literati temperament is too heavy, he is indecisive in everything, he wants to do great things but is afraid of responsibility, and it is impossible for such a person to shoulder the burden when the crisis comes." Zhuang Jihua said calmly.

"Zaitian is a student of Principal Jiang, and Principal Jiang will also help him." Pan Huiqin looked at Zhuang Jihua with hopeful eyes, but Zhuang Jihua said coldly: "No." ”

Pan Huiqin looked at Zhuang Jihua in disappointment: "Why?" Isn't Zaitian his protégé? ”

"Then you ask Zaitian, after being in Guangzhou for so long, he has been to see the principal a few times, why didn't he go?" Zhuang Jihua's words were very cold.

"What can you do, you are alarmist," Li Zhilong suddenly said: "I am not afraid of shadows, I don't need any foreign aid, and I am not afraid of someone secretly doing evil." ”

Zhuang Jihua's expression did not move, he had expected this situation, he nodded: "I believe you are not afraid, but you should think about your sister-in-law if you don't think about yourself, you have to have three long and two short, what should your sister-in-law do?" ”

Li Zhilong hesitated to look at Pan Huiqin, his eyes were full of love and pity, and his heart ached, and he said slowly after a long time: "Now that this is the case, can it be remedied?" ”

"I don't know, but I'll give you a suggestion," Seeing Li Zhilong's attitude softened, Zhuang Jihua breathed a sigh of relief. Li Zhilong showed a listening demeanor, and Zhuang Jihua said word by word: "Find an opportunity to contact the principal more, in addition, the most important point is that the transfer of warships must be informed to the principal first, and then implemented." ”

Li Zhilong looked at Zhuang Jihua with some surprise, I don't know why he made such a suggestion, you must know that Chiang Kai-shek is the commander of the garrison and a member of the Military Commission, but he doesn't care about the navy, the navy is under the control of the Navy Bureau, and the direct leader above is Wang Jingwei. Li Zhilong looked at Zhuang Jihua in confusion, hoping that he could explain, but Zhuang Jihua no longer explained.

He couldn't help but ask, "Why?" ”

"There's no why, you just have to do it." This cannot be explained, and once it is explained, it will fall into more and more black descriptions and more confusion.

"But the principal doesn't care about the navy."

"The headmaster is the commander of the garrison, and he is in charge of the various batteries, so you will inform the headmaster of the reason for coordinating the action." Zhuang Jihua still didn't explain, just gave him a reason.

"No, Cultural Revolution, you have to make it clear, why did you do this?" Li Zhilong asked stubbornly.

Zhuang Jihua did not back down: "There is no reason, but if you do this, it will only be good for you, not harmful." ”

Li Zhilong pondered for a moment, and then said resolutely: "This kind of practice violates military common sense, and if you don't make it clear, I can't do it." ”

Zhuang Jihua looked at Li Zhilong helplessly, and felt an urge to hit someone. The private room fell silent, the food on the table did not move at all, Liu Yinshu saw that the two were talking a little stiffly, she didn't understand, Zhuang Jihua was thinking about Li Zhilong everywhere, but why Li Zhilong was unwilling to accept it.

The two were at a stalemate, Pan Huiqin didn't know what to do, she knew her husband, and the party punishment put a lot of pressure on him, if Zhuang Jihua didn't make it clear and was sued again, I am afraid that it would be hopeless to restore his party membership; But Zhuang Jihua's toughness today was beyond her expectations, Zhuang Jihua used to give her the feeling of being easy-going, and sometimes even a little improper, but today she is insightful, which also makes her understand why her husband values Zhuang Jihua so much, and he doesn't even hide such a shameful thing from him as a party punishment.

"Zaitian, can you believe me once?" Zhuang Jihua finally said gently, Li Zhilong still shook his head: "Cultural Revolution, this thing is not something that can be done by believing it or not. ”

Zhuang Jihua helplessly grabbed the wine glass and drank it, but found that the wine glass was empty, he took the wine bottle with some annoyance, poured himself a glass, and then sucked it dry, Liu Yinshu hurriedly picked up the wine bottle and poured it for him again, Zhuang Jihua drank it dry again, Liu Yinshu couldn't do it, so she had to pour it for him again, but this time she played a little clever and only poured half a glass.

Zhuang Jihua drank a few glasses, Li Zhilong also drank a toast of wine, Liu Yinshu added it to him, the two men just like this, you have a cup, and I drink a cup of stuffy wine. The more the two women looked, the more worried they became, but they couldn't find a good way.

In the end, Li Zhilong felt uncomfortable, after all, Zhuang Jihua was for his own good, he said: "Okay, since you don't want to say it, I won't force it, I'll try to do what you say, but I don't know what will happen to the principal." ”

Zhuang Jihua was speechless, he didn't know where Chiang Kai-shek's attitude towards Li Zhilong was worse, this peacemaker, he didn't dare to do it rashly, but he didn't have time to find out Chiang Kai-shek's attitude.

"It's for the best." Zhuang Jihua put down the wine glass, picked up the chopsticks and put a piece of fish in Liu Yinshu's bowl, and sighed: "In Tian, sometimes I really want to resign and go home, out of sight and out of mind. ”

"What? What's wrong with you again? As soon as he heard Zhuang Jihua's frustrated words, Li Zhilong was surprised, among his classmates in Whampoa, he valued Zhuang Jihua the most, and even his good friend Jiang Xianyun was under him, and now Zhuang Jihua also showed his intentions, so he could not be surprised.

Zhuang Jihua looked out the window blankly, and said for a long time: "The revolutionary situation in Guangzhou City is very good, but the undercurrent is turbulent, and the crisis is lurking, and if you don't pay attention to it, you will be crushed." ”

Li Zhilong shuddered, he didn't expect Zhuang Jihua to be so pessimistic, and he didn't agree with Zhuang Jihua's judgment, revolution, how can there be no danger, although he was punished, but he was confident that he would soon pass the party's test and return to the organization again.

"How can it be so terrifying, the Cultural Revolution, you are too pessimistic," Li Zhilong persuaded Zhuang Jihua to come: "The revolution is not smooth sailing, struggle is the main thing, calm is secondary, and every time there is calm, a greater struggle is brewing." But in the end, the victory will definitely be ours. ”

Zhuang Jihua smiled bitterly and didn't answer, Li Zhilong saw that this topic couldn't be discussed, so he changed it, and he gave Zhuang Jihua a lion's head: "I heard that the Bubnov delegation will be in Guangzhou in two days, what do you think?" ”

"What's there, the Russians come to see if the national political axe is worth supporting," Zhuang Jihua said lightly.

"I heard that Bubnov was the head of the General Political Department of the Red Army and a member of the Politburo of the CPSU." Li Zhilong was a little excited when he said this: "The fact that such a person can come to Guangzhou shows that the Comintern has great confidence in the development of the situation in Guangdong, and this is a great affirmation for us." ”

"I said that in Tian, it doesn't matter what others think, what matters is that we have to work hard," Zhuang Jihua snorted coldly: "If we are worthless, they will not come if you invite them to come." ”

Li Zhilong was accustomed to Zhuang Jihua's attitude towards Soviet Russia, he smiled disapprerovingly, and the two talked about it, but finally the conversation did not collapse, and they finished the meal peacefully.

After dinner, Zhuang Jihua sent Liu Yinshu back to school, this was already his last effort, and the future could no longer be left to him. Zhuang Jihua prayed secretly, praying that Li Zhilong would do what he said.
