"Big brother, you're here, great, you're fine." Youlan (there is a mistake in the previous text, it should be Youlan) smiled like a flower and took two steps towards Zhuang Jihua, then stopped and turned to Chiang Kai-shek: "Hello uncle." Chiang Kai-shek smiled and nodded, and she complimented: "Uncle looks much more handsome than in the newspaper, and the level of that reporter is really poor." ”

Chiang Kai-shek's smile just now froze, much more handsome, what do you mean? Song Meiling couldn't help but be happy: "Kai-shek, this is Mei Youlan, my godfather's granddaughter, my little niece, my three sisters lived in his house when they were studying in the United States, and we haven't seen each other for almost eight years." ”

"What, seven years, when you went back to the United States seven years ago to attend Kelis's wedding, I picked out the gift for you." Youlan pursed her lips a little dissatisfied, but her eyes looked directly at Zhuang Jihua, and the corners of her mouth showed a hint of pride.

"Aunt, you sit," Youlan sat down attentively and Song Meiling, not offending at all, and completely regarded herself as the master here. After she placed Song Meiling in place, she turned around and sat next to Zhuang Jihua.

Chiang Kai-shek and Song Meiling exchanged glances, and a smile appeared at the corner of Song Meiling's eyes: "Youlan, are you here to see me, or are you here to find someone?" ”

"Of course I'm here to see my aunt," Mei Youlan said aggrievedly: "I'll come to Nanjing as soon as I get off the boat, who else will I look at if I don't see you?" ”

Song Meiling smiled silently, only looked at Zhuang Jihua, Zhuang Jihua had no choice but to speak: "Ran away, right?" You are not small, you dare to cross the Pacific Ocean alone, and you are not afraid that the old man will worry about death. ”

"Can I be blamed for this? Who told you not to take me with you when you went? I'm really going to have an accident, and it's your responsibility," Mei Youlan couldn't help but reddened when she thought of the loneliness along the way, and tears were about to fall.

Zhuang Jihua couldn't cry or laugh: "If the old man doesn't let go, who dares to take you away, yes, don't say anything, anyway, you're here too, send a telegram to the old man, don't let him worry." ”

"It's great that you don't drive me away, or you love me." Mei Youlan's face immediately became elated, and the sadness disappeared immediately. Zhuang Jihua was trembling, but Chiang Kai-shek, He Jinhan, Zeng Guangqing, and Song Xilian were all a little stunned, how did this girl become so fast.

"Look, they said they came to see me, so it's revealing their true form." Song Meiling teased with a smile in her eyes, Mei Youlan was a little embarrassed now, but she pulled Zhuang Jihua's arm: "Auntie! I didn't know he was here, and he was just passing by, but this man was so cunning that he disappeared in the blink of an eye. ”

"By the way, big brother, I'm here to bring you good news," Mei Youlan looked like she was invited, and Zhuang Jihua looked at her with a look of disbelief.

"Really, definitely good news, guess what?"

"Don't make trouble, come, I'll introduce you," Zhuang Jihua pointed to the people around him and introduced them one by one: "These are all my classmates, your uncle's students, this He Xinhan, Brother He; once expanded his affection, expanded his brother; Yu Jishi, Brother Yu; Song Xilian, Brother Song. ”

Every time Zhuang Jihua introduced one, Mei Youlan said hello one by one, and He Zhenhan also saw some clues, of course, they didn't dare to slack off, and praised them again and again.

Zhuang Jihua finished introducing him, but Mei Youlan still didn't plan to let him go: "Guess what." ”

Zhuang Jihua smiled bitterly: "I really can't guess, you have too much good news." ”

"Stupid," Mei Youlan's delicate nose wrinkled slightly: "Roosevelt won, do you think this is good news." ”

"Oh, that's good news." Zhuang Jihua smiled faintly, as a crossing clan, this is really not news that can bring surprises.

"Your investment was successful? Aren't you upset at all? "Mei Youlan was a little surprised.

Zhuang Jihua gently took her hand away, and then said, "Roosevelt's victory is not a surprise to me at all, I just have to wait for him to come to power." ”

"Cultural Revolution, do you know Roosevelt?" Song Meiling is very concerned about the United States, this time the United States election, the former governor of New York Roosevelt and the current President Hoover competed for the next presidential throne, the day before yesterday news came that Roosevelt had won without voting in five states, Zhuang Jihua actually had a relationship with Roosevelt, which made Song Meiling very surprised.

"Don't you know, auntie, you don't know, he is familiar with Roosevelt," Zhuang Jihua didn't speak, Mei Youlan quickly introduced: "When Roosevelt was still the governor of New York, Brother Zhuang became friends with him, and he put forward the economic program for his campaign, and he also provided Roosevelt with five million dollars in campaign funds. ”

"Don't talk nonsense," Zhuang Jihua hurriedly corrected Mei Youlan's "big words", he smiled apologetically at Song Meiling: "Master, it's not like this, Youlan She doesn't understand the situation, saying that she is friends with Roosevelt is exalting me, Roosevelt was the governor of New York I had tea with him a few times, and at his invitation, I attended several cocktail parties held by the Ming Boiler Party, we exchanged some views on how to revive the economy, I provided him with five million campaign funds when he was running, but this is a deal, he promised to become president, Push Congress to repeal the law that discriminates against Chinese surnames. However, these foreigners will not really regard us Chinese as friends, unless China can become truly strong. ”

Zhuang Jihua's words were easy, but Song Meiling knew that it was not easy, even if she, who arrived in the United States at the age of eleven, could not really integrate into the mainstream American society, just because Chinese cannot become American naturals, Americans will not be able to look at Chinese, Ming Cook Party Cocktail Party, I am afraid Zhuang Jihua is still the first Chinese to participate.

"You're really impressive." With such a deep American background, Soong Meiling had to admire: "Cultural Revolution, what do you think of Roosevelt's policy toward China after he came to power." ”

"There won't be much change in the short term," Zhuang Jihua said after thinking about it: "At present, the domestic economic problems in the United States are very serious, the unemployment rate remains high, and the people's lives are very difficult, so Roosevelt must first solve the economic problems of the United States, so in foreign relations, he will take a defensive position, specifically in China and the capital, I think he will support China and oppose the capital; But this support is moral, and opposition is also passive, for example, he will not recognize the occupation of the three eastern provinces, and he will not take any further action otherwise. But in the long run, the United States will not allow Ben's full-scale occupation of China, and Roosevelt will make some moves to support China after stabilizing the interior, but it is mainly up to us. I met Roosevelt before I returned home, and I asked him if he would help China resist if he became president, and his answer was very interesting, godhelpthosewhohelpthemselves! God help the self-helper. ”

When he heard that Zhuang Jihua and US President-elect Roosevelt were friends, the excitement in Chiang Kai-shek's heart was self-evident, but with Zhuang Jihua's analysis, Chiang Kai-shek's heart couldn't help but sink, especially the last sentence, God helps those who save themselves, it seems that the Nine-Power Pact is unreliable, and the League of Nations is also unreliable.

With Mei Youlan, this conversation can no longer go on, after Song Meiling and Zhuang Jihua chatted a few more words about the United States, Zhuang Jihua felt that it was time to leave, he wanted to send Mei Youlan to Shanghai to Mei Yuntian, or stay with Song Meiling, he really didn't have time to accompany this young lady, so when he asked Song Meiling for help with his eyes, Song Meiling left Mei Youlan when he said goodbye.

"Auntie, you still want to lock him up, you tell your uncle to let him go."

These words made Song Meiling cry and laugh, it turned out that after the girl got off the ship in Shanghai, she saw the news that Zhuang Jihua had become a prisoner in the newspaper, and immediately became anxious, she didn't stop in Shanghai at all, and went directly to Nanjing, and when she got out of the train station, she asked someone to inquire about Mrs. Jiang's residence, of course, this residence is very difficult to inquire, after failing twice, she became smarter, ran to the US Embassy to inquire, with fluent English and a photo, she actually let her inquire, and then ran over.

"Nonsense, the Cultural Revolution is your uncle's best student, how can your uncle be willing to punish him, don't you also say that he disappeared in the blink of an eye."

"Oh, I see, it seems that the newspaper is talking nonsense, which makes me worry blindly."

"Okay, don't worry, Mother Wu, take your nephew to the guest room to rest." Mei Youlan still wanted to go with Zhuang Jihua, but Song Meiling didn't allow her to speak, and directly asked Mother Wu to take her away.

After she left, Song Meiling came to Chiang Kai-shek's side again, and watched Zhuang Jihua's back as they left with him.

"This Zhuang Cultural Revolution is really surprising, do you really want him to go to Sichuan?"

"Meet," Chiang Kai-shek nodded lightly and said with a smile, "Why not?" He thought that I would let him go to the CCP, and he was worried that I would let him go to the CCP, but in fact I didn't plan to let him go from the beginning. ”

"Then you still count him." Song Meiling frowned slightly, a little puzzled.

"I calculated him, he was also calculating me, he said that within five years there would be a full-scale war between China, in fact, his real purpose was to restore the cooperation between the Kuomintang and the Communist Party, he said that the time was so tight, he thought that I would give up suppressing the Communist Party, and instead negotiate peace with the Communist Party, five years, hum, I can't see it for ten years, I said that I want to digest the three eastern provinces, it will take at least 20 years, I will use three years to exterminate the Communist Party, five years of cultivation, five years of interest, thirteen years later, I will wave my troops north to recover the three eastern provinces."

"Immediately, I think He Jinhan's plan is good, at least it can disperse public opinion, and I can't let you bear all the responsibility."

"My lady, you are an expert in diplomacy, but you don't know how to control it internally." Chiang Kai-shek smiled faintly: "He Zhenhan only saw that one side could distract public opinion, but he ignored the other side, once the peace talks, the Communist Party's ability to agitate and confuse the masses is ten times more than ours, or even a hundred times, they can quickly recover their vitality, our efforts in the past few years will be in vain, and the morale of the army will be greatly affected, not to mention, the Communist Party has just won a few victories, and the momentum is booming, even if it wants to talk, it should be talked about after the war, and the Cultural Revolution is smarter than him at this point, so his plan is not at all to cooperate with the domestic [*** Instead, we went directly to the Comintern, but it would take time to come and go, and at this point it was entirely possible for us to achieve a few victories. ”

"This Zhuang Cultural Revolution is indeed outstanding, I originally thought that He Jinhan was already a very outstanding talent, but no matter what Zhuang Cultural Revolution said, no matter He Jinhan, Yu Jishi or Song Xilian, he did not object." Song Meiling pondered and said, "Haha, madam, the prestige is not scattered, when they were in Guangzhou, the Cultural Revolution left a deep impression on them," Chiang Kai-shek smiled and said: "But madam, you also underestimate them, at least He Jinhan is not so easy to convince people, you see that as soon as the Cultural Revolution said that he was going to Sichuan, He Zhenhan immediately agreed, his purpose was to direct the Cultural Revolution to the locality, and he stayed in the center, why?" If the Cultural Revolution had stayed in Nanjing, with his talent and prestige among the Whampoa classmates, he would have become the center of the Whampoa classmates in a few years, a year. ”

"Do you have any other purpose for sending it to Sichuan, I'm afraid it's not just about building a factory." Song Meiling remembered the measures of Chiang Kai-shek and Zhuang Jihua just now, and asked.

"Of course it won't be that simple, the Cultural Revolution was very smart, I just mentioned it, and he immediately understood," Chiang Kai-shek smiled knowingly: "Don't look at me and let him only bring a group of people into Sichuan, after three or five years, he will be able to hand over the whole of Sichuan to the central government." ”

Song Meiling was a little unconvinced, and Chiang Kai-shek smiled proudly: "The Cultural Revolution also had this thought, you see that all he wants are military academy graduates, at least sergeants, why?" To put it simply, are there any generals who are still afraid that they will not be able to recruit soldiers? Hu Zongnan said before, if you give Zhuang Jihua a group of sheep, he can also train them into a pack of wolves. In fact, Zhuang Jihua also has one more skill that he didn't discover, the Cultural Revolution not only trained soldiers, but also trained officers, Hu Zongnan and Song Xilian were all trained by him, and even Xue Yue's way of leading troops was also done by him. Those Sichuan rats in Sichuan don't know how powerful he is, but I do. ”

"Madam, do you know what was the most reassuring thing about the Cultural Revolution?" Chiang Kai-shek said with great interest: "That is, he never formed a gang, and among the people who are qualified to form a gang in Whampoa, he is the only one who does not pull it; When the Sichuan army was reorganized, I thought he would pull some people, but in the end, he didn't pull any of them; If he insisted that he pulled people, there were only a few soldiers he brought out of the Seventh Company. ”

"Three or five years?" Although she trusted her confidant's husband, Song Meiling still shook her head and felt incredible.

"Don't worry, as long as he is willing to do it, he has never let me down." Chiang Kai-shek was very confident, but suddenly a little embarrassed and said: "Madam, there is something I have to ask you for help." ”

"Oh, what's the matter? And so polite. Song Meiling was slightly surprised.

"Today's matter, don't....tell....Ziwen and eldest sister Ai Ling, I don't believe them, but I'm worried that if they leak out, let the people around them listen to it, and this will be passed out, and things will be difficult to handle." Chiang Kai-shek said this very hard.

"Don't worry, I won't tell them." Song Meiling wanted to get angry, but when she saw Chiang Kai-shek's embarrassment, her heart softened and the fire dispersed.

In just one day, Zhuang Jihua handed over his plan, and Chiang Kai-shek smiled happily and immediately approved it.
