Chiang Kai-shek glanced at Zhuang Jihua when he heard this, and the two of them said two words in their hearts at the same time, coming.

After the resignation of the Abe cabinet, Chiang Kai-shek was waiting for the new prime minister's new policy toward China, and Zhuang Jihua was also watching, and he always oscillated between war and peace, and after conquering Nanjing, he sent the terms of peace talks through Todman, which were exactly the same as the previous conditions, and were naturally rejected by Chiang Kai-shek. The two Jinpu Road battles ended in failure, and naturally there were no conditions for peace talks, and the cabinet was changed three times, and both Hiranuma and Abe announced that they would devote themselves to the peace talks, but they did not put forward any conditions, so naturally they did not put it up.

"What did he say?" Chiang Kai-shek asked calmly without moving.

"There is nothing new, not much different from Konoe's statement, first saying that the war caused the people to suffer, and then hoping to establish a new order in East Asia, jointly defending against communism [***], and hoping to work together with people of insight in China to eliminate the war between the two countries." Chen Bui briefly introduced the content of the statement of the next mine.

Chiang Kai-shek sighed softly, and this sigh contained endless disappointment, and this statement showed that Ben's policy toward China had not changed in the slightest, and that it was still forced to make peace by war.

"I just don't hit the south wall and don't look back," Zhuang Jihua said lightly: "Economically, I can't fight anymore, the national oil price has risen twice, rubber has tripled, iron ore has doubled, tin and aluminum and other metals have also risen by one to two times, I am thinking that the foreign exchange of this book is probably over." ”

Chiang Kai-shek and Chen Bui were a little strange, China's economic situation was also very bad, although the implementation of grain controls, but only alleviated the rise in prices, the state finances did not improve in the slightest. What made the two of them strange was that Zhuang Jihua didn't seem to know anything about this, and only saw his own difficulties.

"The Cultural Revolution, our economy is not good, I wonder if it is a secret negotiation with Yue himself to ease the offensive of Yue himself," Chiang Kai-shek said this, seeing that Zhuang Jihua was about to stand up and oppose it, he hurriedly waved his hand: "You sit down, sit down, I know that you will never agree to peace talks, but what I want to say is that I have no intention of really talking with Yue himself, just a delaying tactic." ”

"The outbreak of the European war proves that our previous judgment is right, a new world war has begun, whether it is us or Britain and France, if we want to win, we can only wait for the United States to enter the war, but when will the United States enter the war? I don't know, and you probably don't know, but if this delaying tactic succeeds, then we've gained time. ”

Zhuang Jihua shook his head lightly and said: "Principal, it's best not to do this, now the morale of the whole army is high, once it spreads, the blow to morale is particularly heavy, and once the morale is discharged, it will be difficult to drum up again." ”

Chiang Kai-shek was irritated in his heart, and he stood up and said loudly: "Am I betraying the country?" I've been so anxious about the decline of the country all these years," he burst into a fierce cough as he spoke.

Chen Bui hurriedly supported him, Chiang Kai-shek pushed him away, held his chest with one hand, still coughing, Zhuang Jihua hurriedly walked behind him and patted him on the back.

After a while, Chiang Kai-shek relaxed, Zhuang Jihua felt a sense of pity in his heart, Chiang Kai-shek was under too much pressure, the war broke out to the present, lost a lot of the country, GCD took the opportunity to develop and grow, internal and external difficulties, heavy pressure on him.

"Principal, my offensive has eased, they no longer have the strength to launch a large-scale offensive, the war is developing according to our vision, and at this time we must not relax our efforts and step up social reforms to fulfill the Prime Minister's last wishes."

The guards who followed behind quickly brought a glass of water and helped Chiang Kai-shek drink two sips, and Chiang Kai-shek relented, he waved his hand to let them go, and then sighed: "It's okay, let's disperse." ”

The guards looked at Chen Bui hesitantly, Chen Bui waved his hand to let them disperse, and when the guards walked away, Chiang Kai-shek sighed again: "Cultural Revolution, I know this is drinking to quench thirst, but as long as you act carefully and don't leak out, it will not affect the morale of the army." ”

Zhuang Jihua still resolutely opposed: "Principal, there is no impermeable wall in the world, if GCD and Director Deng are aware of it, they will have to make trouble in the city, this risk should not be risked, and the students will never make peace with him." ”

Chen Bui was stunned, Zhuang Jihua told Chiang Kai-shek euphemistically, if you talk to Yu himself, I won't leave with you. In the entire Huangpu system, I am afraid that only Zhuang Jihua dares to do this.

"I won't make peace with him," Chiang Kai-shek motioned for them to sit down, and after the two of them sat down, he paused, shook his head lightly, and said, "Forget it, forget it, forget it, don't talk about it again." ”

There was silence at the stone table for a while, and then a breeze came, and the bamboo forest made a loud noise, and a few fallen leaves fell down, and the guards looked at Chiang Kai-shek and wanted to invite him back, but they did not dare to speak, for fear of being severely punished by Chiang Kai-shek in anger.

In the dark, Chen Bui and Zhuang Jihua didn't see the looks of the guards, Chiang Kai-shek gasped heavily, coughed lightly twice, and spit out thick phlegm. Chen Bui felt that the atmosphere was too dull, and the two teachers and students showed embarrassment on the issue of peace talks, so they had the heart to resolve it.

"Cultural Revolution, you have been engaged in the development of the southwest for so long, and you must have gained from the economy and finance, do you think there is a way to solve the current economic dilemma?" Chen Bui Xin said, Zhuang Jihua'e, I still have to look for you, who made you a student.

Zhuang Jihua felt that this problem was a bit tricky, and the only way to solve the financial difficulties was to increase income, and to increase income was to raise taxes, but now the people are also in difficulty, all kinds of material control, wages are almost limited, and the people can't afford to raise taxes. They can't afford to raise taxes on factories and enterprises.

After thinking about it for a long time, he suddenly remembered that the US treasury bonds were coming, and then he had an idea: "President, I think so, issue treasury bonds." ”

"I have talked about this issue, but after the relocation of domestic banking enterprises, the monetary system is generally nervous, and the common people are the same, fleeing to Sichuan, and they don't have much money with them, and they can't issue much treasury bonds, and they can't manage it for a year if they collect some money." Chiang Kai-shek's tone was low, and there was a slight gloom in it.

"Then it will not be issued in China," Zhuang Jihua said: "In the past, when Song Ziwen was the Minister of Finance, he issued treasury bonds in the international community, but now we issue them in the United States and directly receive US dollars." ”

"Hair in the United States?" Chiang Kai-shek looked up at Zhuang Jihua and muttered, "Can this work?" ”

"It's man-made," Zhuang Jihua said: "The U.S. capital market is very developed, and we can issue treasury bonds on Wall Street, which makes Zhuang Jihua just want to say Song Ziwen, and suddenly remembered that Song Ziwen was going back to China to replace Kong Xiangxi, and Kong Xiangxi was going to the United States, but this matter was not completely clarified, and just when he didn't know what to say, Chiang Kai-shek quietly added three words: "Kong Yongzhi." ”

Zhuang Jihua was overjoyed: "After Dean Kong arrives in the United States, students can introduce him to Morgan and Rockefeller and ask them for help, and they can also ask the help of the American political axe to issue Chinese treasury bonds on Wall Street. ”

In the past, China also issued treasury bonds to foreign countries, but it was the first time that they were issued in the United States, and Chiang Kai-shek didn't know if it would work. Chiang Kai-shek stood up, Zhuang Jihua and Chen Bui also stood up, Chiang Kai-shek was about to take a step, suddenly remembered that Zhuang Jihua had such a large amount of industry in the United States, and he must have a connection with the American banking community. Thinking of this, Chiang Kai-shek was in a good mood and led the way back.

The good mood did not last long, the next afternoon, Chiang Kai-shek went to the camp war room to continue to discuss the counteroffensive with Bai Chongxi, Zhuang Jihua also followed to the camp, he had no acquaintances in Liuzhou, the camp in Liuzhou was mainly Gui and Cantonese people, he was not very familiar, if it was the Whampoa department, then there were too many acquaintances.

At the Xingying Telecommunications Office, Zhuang Jihua drafted an order, ordering Zhao Hanjie to lead three detachments to Liuzhou to stand by, and then return to the war room.

Before he arrived at the war room, he saw Chen Bui coming in a hurry from a distance, and he looked a little flustered, even in this April season, sweat beads still appeared on his forehead.

"Mr. Fear, what's wrong?" Zhuang Jihua is a little strange, Chen Bui has always been steady and calm, and something must have happened with such a gaffe today.

"Something happened, Wang Zhaoming went to Hanoi." Chen Bui said quickly, and then hurriedly walked inside, leaving Zhuang Jihua there in a daze.

Zhuang Jihua knew that Wang Jingwei was treasonous, but his bad history did not tell him what he rebelled or not, and he rebelled through that way.

Sighing softly, Wang Jingwei finally embarked on this road, the struggle for power made him completely lose his mind, the war situation has stabilized, although the squadron has been defeated, but the army that has been baptized by war has shown tenacious fighting spirit, and a group of brave and good generals have emerged, Zhuang Jihua is confident that he will launch a counteroffensive within two years, and this counteroffensive will last until Tokyo.

When he walked into the house slowly, Chiang Kai-shek, Bai Chongxi and other high-ranking generals had already learned of the incident, and they stopped the offensive they were planning and turned to discuss the sudden news brought by Chen Bui.

"Wang Jingwei's arrival in Hanoi is not necessarily treason," Chiang Kai-shek pondered, and he glanced at Zhuang Jihua who came in, and then continued: "It's better to figure out the situation first." ”

"I think that his departure is likely to be related to the statement made by Minai on China," Bai Chongxi shook his head and said, "If he responds outside, how should we respond?" ”

"Then the people of the country will punish him!" Zhuang Jihua shouted categorically: "Principal, the students and Director Bai have the same opinion, Mr. Wang's move is to vote, and an extraordinary meeting should be held immediately to expel Wang Jingwei from the party." ”

Everyone in the war room was silent, the former founding member of the Kuomintang, the drafter of the Prime Minister's will, and the first chairman of the National Political Axe, "raised the sword quickly and lived up to the head of the youth", how many young people were enthusiastically thrown into the camp of the national revolution, and how much praise his graceful demeanor won for the Kuomintang, but today, all the glory has been turned into shame by this walk.
