"If you can't get it at the negotiation table, you want to be on the battlefield and it's very embarrassing!" Did you report it to Toyo? ”

"It has been reported to the Central Committee," Li Nong replied; "The central government put forward an idea to let the Shandong Eighth Route Army and Huang Kecheng of the Henan-Anhui border region, these two troops go south and rush to the aid of northern Jiangsu. //。 ǒm/”

After thinking for a moment on Thursday, I felt that the Kuomintang army in Shandong already had a defense, and Huang Kecheng and Peng Xuefeng in the Henan-Anhui border region went south to play through the long Japanese defense area, and also passed through the defense area of the Kuomintang army in Dabie Mountain, fighting along the way, and waiting to reach northern Jiangsu. It is too dangerous to face such a strong enemy as the 25th Division of the 47th Army.

"Is there any news in southern Anhui?" Zhou Enlai asked again.

"Xiang Ying called, Commander Ye has gone to the Third War Zone to negotiate, and they are ready." Li Nong smiled bitterly.

Zhou Ganglai's face suddenly became stern, and the New Fourth Army in southern Anhui was slow to move, ignoring several orders from the central government. Insist on staying in southern Anhui. Zhou Ganglai couldn't help but slap the table.

"What does Xiang Ying want to do! Both the Central Committee and the Southern Bureau have issued orders, why didn't he carry them out. Zhou Ganglai made no secret of his anger, he unbuttoned his coat and walked back and forth in the house. He stopped suddenly: "Telegraph to the Central Committee, suggesting that Xiang Yingxin be dismissed from the post of deputy commander of the Fourth Army, transferred to the Southern Bureau, and served as the deputy director of the Southern Bureau, with Comrade Yuan Guoping taking over as the deputy commander, and militarily Comrade Ye Ting making up his mind to advance eastward as soon as possible."

Li Nong understood the reason why Zhou Ganglai was angry, and Xiang Ying's mistake was a strategic mistake, because he was slow to move in southern Anhui, resulting in Chen Su being alone in northern Jiangsu, and falling into the middle attack of the Kuomintang army and the Japanese army, the central government had to make a decision to abandon northern Jiangsu and Jiangnan, and the impact on the future was not trivial.

"Wait" When Li Nong turned around and was about to leave, Zhou Ganglai called him, Li Nong turned to look at him, Zhou Ganglai crossed his arms, frowning and thinking hard. Apparently there is a difficult decision to make.

After a long time, Zhou Ganglai stopped, Li Nong knew that he had made up his mind, and sure enough, Zhou Ganglai said slowly: "Tell the Central Committee that the Kuomintang has put forward a proposal today, hoping to exchange the military establishment by subsidizing the finances of Shaanxi, Gansu and Ningxia, whether the Central Committee agrees to this suggestion." ”

Li Nong was slightly stunned when he heard this, and from Zhou Zhoulai's tone, he could hear the meaning of acceptance. After thinking about it, Li Nong couldn't help but ask: "Will the Central Committee agree to this suggestion?" ”

"Thinking the other way around," Zhou said, "we didn't have the number they gave us before, and we were also developing, and the base areas were in short supply and in financial difficulties, and Chiang Kai-shek provided financial subsidies." The finances of the base areas will be eased a lot, and they can also take the opportunity to break their blockade of the base areas. ”

The Kuomintang imposed material control in Shaanxi similar to that in the southwest, and cut off all material entry and exit from Shaanxi, Gansu and Ningbo. Shaanxi, Gansu and Ningbo are already a place of poverty and addiction. There was no self-sufficiency in grain at all, and this blockade by the Kuomintang caused the border areas to suddenly fall into a predicament. Li Nong now understood that the central government wanted the establishment of three armies, and in addition to weapons and ammunition, the main thing was military salaries, and although these military salaries were not much, they could relieve the material shortage in the border areas, and in addition, they could also take the opportunity to ask the other side to open the passage.

After the telegram was sent, it was not until the next day that a reply was received from the central authorities, and the central authorities expressed their agreement to the adjustment of Xiang Ying's position. However, he was a little hesitant about another suggestion, asking Zhou to ask the other party how much the financial subsidy would be before making a decision.

This question was raised by Zhou Ganglai in the renegotiations, and Zhuang Jihua was immediately happy in his heart, but then he made a difficulty, and after this proposal was rejected by Zhou Jilai, he did not report it to Chiang Kai-shek.

"I didn't report this to the chairman of the committee after you refused last time, and since your party is interested in this proposal, then I will report to the chairman immediately, and I propose to adjourn the meeting for the time being."

This proposal was adopted, and the negotiation lasted only ten minutes before the meeting was adjourned, and after He Jinhan came out, he complained, and Zhuang Jihua looked at him a little strangely: "Junshan, don't you really want to fight a civil war here." ”

He Zhenhan was stunned, he hadn't thought about this problem yet, but he didn't want to back down like this: "I know it's not the time to suppress the Communist Party now, but the Cultural Revolution, we can't always give in, it's too cheap for them." ”

"You are wrong" Zhuang Jihua Zhengse said: "Actually, we still take advantage, think about it, over the years, how much has the Eighth Route Army and the New Fourth Army developed, do they have orders from the central government?" No, so, I think what they want is actually our recognition, and there is also military salaries and weapons and equipment, so in exchange for financial subsidies for their concessions in the establishment, you can save a sum of weapons and equipment. ”

"That" He Jinhan still couldn't figure it out: "But we have already made concessions and given two and a half provincial chairmen, and two provincial territories, which is not enough?" Why provide financial subsidies? ”

"Junshan, in the final analysis, we still take advantage of this matter" Zhuang Jihua shook his head and said: "If you think about it carefully, you will understand this truth." ”

The two of them said, the car had arrived at the Huangshan Mansion, He Jinhan looked at this mansion, his mood fluctuated, he used to come to such an official residence often. But after arriving in Chongqing, he never came once, and the first few times he came to report was Zhuang Jihua, a person. He Jinhan also said that Zhang Chong was quite angry about this. These negotiations have not come to any reason, and they have not come to this day.

Chiang Kai-shek heard that He Jinhan was also coming, and after frowning slightly, he still let them in. After Zhuang Jihua finished his report, he asked coldly: "Junshan, what do you think."

"The principal often said that the war turned into a jade silk. In exchange for financial subsidies in exchange for concessions from the other side in the establishment of the army, the students thought it was okay. He replied in a proper manner.

Chiang Kai-shek snorted lightly, turned his head and asked Zhuang Jihua: "This is what you came up with?" ”

"It's me, I mentioned it in the last negotiation, and Director Zhou refused at that time, but I didn't expect him to propose it again in this negotiation, so the students came to ask the principal for instructions." Zhuang Jihua's demeanor seemed relatively relaxed, and he was not cramped like He Jinhan.

Seeing that Chiang Kai-shek was hesitating, Zhuang Jihua knew that he had made some moves, so he continued to persuade: "Principal." The students thought carefully that instead of letting the Eighth Route Army and the New Fourth Army develop uncontrollably, it would be better to agree to them like this. Every year, millions of dollars are spent to control the Eighth Route Army and the New Fourth Army in North China, and some equipment can be saved, so why not. "And how much do you think is appropriate?" Chiang Kai-shek is still thinking about it, the country's finances are tight, the American loan Jensen said to stop, the force is no longer enough, only to settle the dispute through negotiation, but the news has not yet spread, otherwise the price will take the opportunity to rise.

"500,000, 6 million a year, but it is given monthly, not all at once." Zhuang Jihua looked at Chiang Kai-shek with some eagerness, with hope and plea in his eyes.

"Six million? Too much. Chiang Kai-shek still shook his head and said: "If there is one less army, according to the B type of army, it will be less than 20,000 people, and the monthly military salary will be less than 300,000, and it will only be 3 million a year. They are exhausted, and two million are already happy. ”

Zhuang Jihua thought for a while and asked: "Principal, the students think that the negotiation to this day, the overall result is favorable to us, once the negotiation reaches an agreement, there will be no more in northern Jiangsu, Jiangnan, central Anhui, Hubei, and the southern and western parts of Henan." In addition, when the armed forces are given weapons and ammunition by the central authorities, they can make a big show of it, so that they can only fight guerrilla warfare because their strength is not enough. I can't say it. ”

Speaking of this, he paused: "Actually, there are no weapons and ammunition, principal, do you think, can they make weapons and ammunition made in Chongqing?" Their arsenal can make grenades, mortar shells, and howitzers, and even if they are given to them, they can't afford to use them. ”

"Principal, the students believe that the negotiations are now broken down and that we have more to lose than we gain."

The last sentence was said in an accentuated tone, and Chiang Kai-shek was silent for a long time, and his eyes turned to He Jinhan. He Zhenhan replied, "Headmaster." The students thought it was a good idea, and we could talk about the numbers. ”

Chiang Kai-shek was still silent, Zhuang Jihua saw that he was moved, so he added a fire: "Principal, after the signing of the Soviet-Japanese treaty, it is a foregone conclusion that the Japanese army will go south, once the Japanese army goes south, the United States will definitely enter the war, and Japan will inevitably be defeated. There is no concave armed force in Jiangnan and Central China. This dynamic is extremely beneficial to us. ”

Chiang Kai-shek looked up suddenly, he understood what Zhuang Jihua meant, and finally relented: "Okay." You go and talk about it, but the upper limit is four million. When they reorganized their network, there were more than 40,000 people, and it was only 700,000 per month, but after this talk, I am afraid that it will reach nearly 2 million per month, and the government's financial pressure is very great. ”

"Students understand." Zhuang Jihua stood up. Now his mood is much lighter, and after being busy for so long, he can finally see a good result.

Zhuang Jihua was about to say goodbye, and Lin Wei hurriedly came in: "Chairman of the Committee, the Japanese machine banquet attacked Qinjiang, and the steel plant was bombed. ”

Chiang Kai-shek's face changed sharply, and he grabbed the report, which said that this morning, Japanese planes suddenly attacked Caijiang, and two blast furnaces were blown up at the iron and steel plant, and four others were damaged, and the steel rolling workshop, coke workshop, and power supply system were destroyed, and the losses were very serious.

"Mother, Xipi! Niang Xipi! Chiang Kai-shek scolded angrily, Zhuang Jihua was also very puzzled, and he asked eagerly: "How could it be raided?" What are air defense radars doing? Qin Jiangai's air defense of that steel plant was personally inspected by me, how could it be so serious? ”

Lin Wei shook his head bitterly, indicating that he didn't know. There was no report on it, and Chiang Kai-shek sent a fire in the office: "Weiwen, you are one, and, let Dai Li also send someone, and Chiang Ching-kuo." The base camp sent another individual to form a joint investigation team. Thoroughly investigate this matter, and those who neglect their duties will be dealt with strictly, so as to enforce military discipline! ”

After finishing speaking, he turned to Zhuang Jihua again: "Cultural Revolution, you remember, the agreement must be written." The Eighth Route Army's operational area of the New Fourth Army must not be developed casually everywhere as it was before. ”

"Students understand." Zhuang Jihua nodded casually, his heart had already run to Gongjiang. Qinjiang Iron and Steel Plant is the largest steel plant. The annual output of 400,000 tons of steel, accounting for almost half of the country's steel output, is going to be ruined, and military production will collapse by half.

"Don't worry about Gongjiang, leave it to Weiwen, and Jingguo will do it. You concentrate on the negotiations. Chiang Kai-shek saw his thoughts and solemnly reminded him.
