Chapter 260 to take office
The transport plane soared in the air, and there was a row of seats by the window, and Ouyang Jian and his wife sat side by side. The entourage sat on the side of the cabin, the guards were solemn and silent, and no one was talking to each other, apparently each of them aware of the importance of the mission. Gong Nan, the security director who led the team, had a solemn expression. He held a pen in his hand, sometimes thinking, sometimes jotting down something in his notebook. Presumably an idea of security measures, write it down for future reference.
Mei Fang looked very excited, like a bird out of the cage, probably because she was suffocating in Yunshui County and changing the environment. Through the porthole of the plane, the mountains and mountains under his feet, and the bird's-eye view of the vast land, the feeling of flying made Mei Fang, who was on a plane for the first time, excited. Ouyang Jian was thinking about the problem with his eyes closed, and he was in no mood to browse the scenery below. "Ouyang, are you in the Three Gorges?" Mei Fang shouted happily. Ouyang Jian opened his eyes and glanced down and said, "Below is Wuxia, but you can't distinguish the Goddess Peak on the plane, and the angle is different." ”
"When I have time, I must take a boat to experience the grandeur of the Three Gorges!" "I think you should think about how to start your work in Chongqing!" "What job?" Mei Fang was confused. "Do you think that if you go to be a full-time wife, the Ministry of Defense will set up the 2nd Intelligence Division, and you will be the director of the Intelligence Division!" "It's really people in the rivers and lakes, involuntarily, just out of the sea of suffering and into the ocean. I thought that by accompanying you to Chongqing, I could be a full-time wife and enjoy Qingfuna. "Your intelligence chief, the veteran personally appointed him, what can I do. You should know the importance of intelligence work. ”
Mei Fang's joy was gone, and her mood was a little depressed. Ouyang Jian closed his eyes again and thought about it. After the 77 Incident, the Western Railway was suspended. Fortunately, the railway from Xi'an to Lanzhou has been opened to traffic, and the role of the western region as a strategic rear has begun to appear. At present, veterans attach great importance to the western region, and this is a last resort. With the flight of a large number of refugees to the western region, the entry of huge human resources has sent a source of power to the western region and a catalyst for war, which will bring earth-shaking changes to the economic development of the western region. However, the western region needs to continue to develop in a big way, and it is also necessary to support the huge amount of military supplies, and in this case, it is very difficult to continue to lay railways to the west.
The laying of railways in the barren land to the west will certainly not be agreed by the veterans of the moment. It was certainly thought that there was no value in laying the railroad to the west, and that it would cost a lot of money. How to persuade Lao Chiang to agree to continue laying railways to the west was a thorny problem for Ouyang Jian after he arrived in Chongqing. Ouyang Jian racked his brains, and suddenly an inspiration came, and he came up with a wonderful solution. Because I got a little carried away, I couldn't help but have a prickly heat. Mei Fang was startled and said angrily: "Ouyang, what kind of nerves do you have?" "Naturally, I want to do something beautiful!" Mei Fang also wanted to ask, at this time, the chief opened the door to report, the plane arrived in Chongqing, please fasten your seat belts.
The transport plane landed smoothly, Ouyang Jian, his wife Mei Fang and his entourage stepped off the plane, and at this time, Minister of Military Affairs He Yingqin stepped forward. "General Ouyang, madam, you are finally here, we are looking forward to the stars and the moon." "Minister He personally came to greet him, and his subordinates were deeply disturbed." "It seems that General Ouyang treats me as an outsider, so it's not necessary to be so polite!" He Ying Qinxiang pretended to be dissatisfied, which means that we are old friends, and it is too familiar. His words were said to his subordinates, and the implication was that he had a good personal relationship with Ouyang Jian.
Ouyang Jian understood his meaning and took the opportunity to say: "It seems that I am hypocritical, sorry!" I'm sorry! He Yingqin was a little proud when he heard this, and immediately asked Ouyang Jian and his wife to get into the car. The guard troops brought by He Yingqin specially prepared an empty truck, and Gong Nan led his subordinates to get into the truck. The convoy headed for downtown Chongqing. Soon the convoy stopped in front of an elegant three-story bungalow, and Ouyang Jian and his wife got out of the car and admired the small bungalow in front of them. "Ouyang, we live in such luxury, we won't make mistakes!" "What are you kidding, enter the country according to the customs, you think you are in Jiangxi!"
"General Ouyang, Mrs. Zun grew up in the United States, so we chose this western-style building, which has a very wide courtyard and a very wide field, I don't know if you husband and wife like it or not? If it doesn't fit, you can replace it! "Thank you, Minister He, for such a thoughtful arrangement!" Mei Fang preemptively answered the final word. "Minister He, since my wife is satisfied, I have no choice but to sing with my husband." "Madame's satisfaction is very important, by the way, the president will pick you up at night, and the car will pick you up at 5 o'clock! If the journey is tiring, I won't bother! ”
"Minister He, when I settle down, I will definitely invite you to come to my house as a guest!" Good! Deal! Seeing that He Yingqin's car was gone, Mei Fang turned around and ran into the western-style building. Seeing that his wife was as light as a swallow and happily touched, Ouyang Jian shook his head helplessly. On the second floor, Gong Nan introduced: "Chief of the General Staff, the guards have been deployed ・・・・・・. There are a total of 6 rooms on the second floor, your husband and wife live in the middle of the facing room, the left hand is the living room, the right hand is the dining room, the dining room is very large, you husband and wife dining is very convenient. ”
Ouyang Jian walked into the restaurant, and sure enough, the area of the restaurant was very large. "Gong Nan, what does it mean that it is very convenient for the two of us to eat, if it doesn't matter, then I will make a difference? In the future, as long as there are no customers, everyone will eat here, understand? "Understood!" "In addition, the standard of fire food cannot be changed, and it is still the same as in Jiangxi." At this time, the sound of a car motor sounded outside. "Report, Vice Chairman Zhou is here to visit!" As soon as the subordinates' words fell, Zhou Enlai's figure appeared. "Haha Brother Ouyang, since the Central Committee decided to bring you to take office, I have been looking forward to your coming, the world is unpredictable, I didn't expect you and me to work together in Chongqing!"
"Vice-President, this is providential. Last time Nanjing, I didn't blink an eye a few times in the spring and autumn, I really miss you! "I miss you too! This Jiangxi Battle was fought very beautifully, which not only extinguished the prestige of the Japanese army, but also inspired the people's fighting spirit to resist the war to the end, I want to congratulate you! "The victory of Jiangxi's defensive operation is expected, and the key is that our Eighth Route Army has played a majestic role, strengthened the confidence of the people of the whole country in victory, and laid the foundation for further cooperation between the Kuomintang and the Communist Party." "Well said! This time, Lao Jiang came back from the Jiujiang inspection and changed a lot, you have contributed a lot! Ouyang Jian waved his hand and instructed the chef Lao Li to arrange the wine and food.
"Hello Vice Chairman Zhou!" Mei Fang stepped forward to greet her, and then glared at her husband. "Brother Ouyang, this is a beautiful brother and sister, look at me and I'm happy to be patronizing, but I'm not snubbing Mrs." Enlai shook hands generously. "It is said that Vice Chairman Zhou has sharp teeth, and it is true!" "My brother and sister are worthy of being talented women, and they can be described as women who don't let their eyebrows go!" Ouyang Jian seemed to realize something, glanced back and forth and asked, "Vice Chairman Zhou, why didn't my sister-in-law come!" "Madame happened to meet with the women's representative today, and she asked me to convey my apologies."
Soon the wine and food were placed on the table, and Mei Fang simply ate a few bites and went down to rest. After a few glasses of wine, he said: "At present, Chongqing is surging, and Wang Jingwei openly surrendered to the enemy in Hong Kong, and it is ridiculous to whitewash what curves to save the country." However, Wang Jingwei, as a veteran of the Kuomintang, was very deceitful, and the situation was not optimistic. As far as I know, many high-ranking officials in the national government have mysteriously disappeared, and the surrender of many local miscellaneous troops to the Japanese army is directly related to Wang Jingwei's defection to the enemy. At present, there are three forces in the national government, the anti-war faction, the surrender faction, and the wait-and-see faction, and the argument of the death of the country is very loud. ”
"Vice Chairman Zhou, although we have won a defensive victory in Jiangxi, after all, Jiangxi is too small to shake the foundation of the Japanese army in the national battlefield. And these are secondary, Wang Jingwei's defection to the enemy will bring out a large number of traitors, and these traitors will make the Japanese army like a tiger, which is the biggest dilemma we are facing. "Brother Ouyang, your judgment has been confirmed, the Japanese government is preparing to establish the Wang puppet regime in Nanjing, the purpose is to fight against the Nationalist government, the Japanese government realized that it could not defeat China militarily, and began to implement the use of razing to defeat the enemy, division and disintegration, this is very vicious."
"Wang Jingwei defected to the enemy, although he deceived some people, but the vast majority of Chinese people will not approve of it. From another point of view, Wang Jingwei's surrender may have a positive side! "On the upside?" Enlai is confused. "I received information that the newly appointed commander of the Japanese army, Okamura Ninji, did not agree to the formation of a puppet government of Wang, and he believed that the formation of a puppet government of Wang would further provoke Chiang Kai-shek to resolutely resist to the end. Okamura Ninji believes that it is the best policy to continue to divide and disintegrate the national government, especially to provoke contradictions between the Kuomintang and the Communist Party! ”
"We have to attach great importance to the situation you reflected, it seems that Okamura Ningji is not a simple person!" According to the information provided by the dark arrow, Okamura Ninji was a different person, he pursued a strategy of razing and razing, using radishes and sticks at the same time, in order to reduce hostilities, advocating traitors to govern one side, and the Japanese retreated into the background. He threatened to say that the Chinese warlords are divided, the wars are continuous, and the common people are in dire straits. The Japanese army came to China not to invade but to liberate Yunyun. "It seems that it is necessary to go-for-tat in propaganda and never allow the Japanese militarist conspiracy to succeed."
"Vice Chairman Zhou, with the elongation of the battle line, the Japanese army is no longer able to launch a large-scale offensive in a short period of time. The stubborn resistance of the Chinese battlefield shook the silent European and American countries. At present, Germany is provoking war in Europe, and the relationship between Germany and Japan is getting closer and closer. At present, German experts from various parts of Jiangxi have returned to China one after another, which is a proof of the close relations between Germany and Japan. Britain will become more and more dissatisfied with Japan because of Germany, especially since Japan has encroached on British interests in China. We can imagine that Britain is dissatisfied with Japan, and given the close relationship between Britain and the United States, American unilateralism will be shaken. ”
"You mean to let Britain and the United States interfere in Japan and put pressure on Japan!" "Yes, at the moment, the Japanese army has occupied most of China, and it is full of confidence. Japan will not pay attention to a number of involvements between the United States and Britain. If the contradictions between them deepen and become irreconcilable, war is inevitable. "I'm afraid it's not so easy for them to start a war between themselves!" "Germany is a variable, if Germany provokes a war in Europe, it will bear the brunt of France, and Britain will inevitably enter the war for its own safety, so Britain and Japan will definitely turn against each other."
"Your analysis is reasonable, it seems that we need to prepare early." "Vice Chairman Zhou, are you familiar with the British and American ministers?" "It's okay, after the victory of the Jiangxi defensive operation, the strong combat effectiveness of the Eighth Route Army attracted their attention, and the two ministers came to visit me to try to understand the situation in Jiangxi. For reasons of confidentiality, I did not inform the real situation in Jiangxi. "Vice Chairman Zhou, you can make arrangements, and I will invite the British and American ministers to be guests. My purpose is ・・・・・・・. "It's a good idea, but you have to plan ahead."
En glanced at his pocket watch and said, "It's not too early, don't delay you to the appointment." Lao Jiang thinks of himself as the principal, you are his student, please go to the family banquet, it is promising! "Enlai teased." Lao Jiang is entrapping me, and military aid is a big deal at the moment, and he will not be sloppy on this point. "It's also your job to have a good relationship with veterans and increase trust in each other." "Yes, before I came, the chairman also repeatedly told me: There is a temporary new situation in the cooperation between the KMT and the Communist Party, and we must take advantage of the situation and not give up halfway. To put it bluntly, Lao Jiang has no way out, and he is reluctant to be willing. ”
"Vice Chairman Zhou, tomorrow I will report to the Ministry of National Defense, and my wife and I will visit you and your sister-in-law in the evening!" "Good! I'll wait for you tomorrow night, and I just happen to have a bottle of aged Wuliangye! ”
