Zhuang Jihua sighed and smiled bitterly, a little frustrated and a little sarcastic, and said: "Fu Gong, if you still have anything to worry about, then you don't have to, in the past three years, although you are not very supportive, but you have not found any trouble, and in the sixteen counties of Yucheng, I still can't stand you first, I will not seek other regions." But I also have a word of advice. As a Chinese [***] person, the leader of one side, and the battle together, how can Fu Gong stand by and watch, how can the soldiers of the Sichuan army stand by and watch, since this is the case, why not prepare early. ”

Liu Xiang knew that Zhuang Jihua had misunderstood, and he was silent and said: "For more than a year, you have provided tens of thousands of guns and hundreds of cannons to various departments of the Sichuan Army, which we all know well, but the 300,000 people of the Sichuan Army want to be re-equipped, will the chairman allow it?" ”

"You bought the guns, and I'm afraid the headmaster can't manage them if he wants to. Moreover, the monthly production of rifles has reached 800 per day, and next year it will reach 1,000 per day, and 360,000 rifles a year, which can meet the requirements of Sichuan even if the Central Army is counted. Besides..., will you let all the Sichuan troops go out of Sichuan? Don't leave a little to look after the home? The corners of Zhuang Jihua's mouth showed a hint of mockery.

Liu Xiang stood up and shook his head, and walked to the center of the office: "If the Central Committee decides to resist the war, it is incumbent on my generation to go all out, but will the central government really resist the war?" Or is it just talking? ”

Over the years, he has implemented a policy of compromise and concession, so that even princes like Liu Xiang are not sure whether Chiang Kai-shek is really preparing for the war of resistance. Zhuang Jihua couldn't help but feel a little ridiculous in his heart. Of course, he will not take his confession seriously just based on Liu Xiang's few words, I am afraid that the warlord will say this kind of big words, but it is not bad to have this kind of attitude, he said calmly: "You can understand when you look at the Fifth Plenary Assembly, didn't Mr. Deng Hanxiang send you a message?" Not only Feng Yuxiang and Yan Xishan personally attended the meeting, but also Chen Jitang from Guangdong, Li Zongren from Guangxi, and Long Yun from Yunnan all sent representatives to attend the meeting. It shows that all political forces in the country understand that the external invasion has reached the point where it cannot be delayed and must be united; The chairman's speech also showed that he would no longer blindly implement the policy of compromise and concession, and that Pingjin is China's bottom line. The personnel adjustment at the First Plenary Session of the Central Committee held subsequently, the pro-Yue faction fell into full swing, and the pro-British, American, and pro-[***] forces controlled the center, all of which showed that the political axe began to change to toughness, and the next move in this year, the political axe must be treated toughly; However, the present side will never give up, and war will inevitably start because of this. ”

Liu Xiang was secretly impressed in his heart, he remembered a sentence that Yu Peidi often told him when Zhuang Jihua arrived, and now he admits that that sentence is correct, and he knows the autumn when a leaf falls, there can be several such people in the world, and Zhuang Wenge is undoubtedly one.

"Cultural Revolution, I want to ask you a heart-wrenching word, what do you think we should do?" Zhang Sike suddenly interjected.

Zhuang Jihua glanced at them a little unexpectedly, he didn't know the meaning of their words, he wouldn't believe it, just a few words from him, Liu Xiang would hand over the troops to him.

"It's very simple, just like I did in Yucheng, the whole army and the people," although he didn't understand, Zhuang Jihua replied quickly: "The whole army is to retrain the troops, form a participating army and a garrison army, the equipment of the participating army is better than the garrison army, and it is designed according to the equipment of the German armor division; The anti-Japanese war is a long-term process, which requires logistical supplies and replenishment of new soldiers at any time, so it is necessary to organize the society together; At the same time, the people will suffer a lot during the long-term war of resistance, can they persevere? Therefore, it is necessary to carry out social reform and strictly reduce rents and interest rates. Fu Gong, we still have two or three years to do these two things, and if we do these two things well, we can go to the front line with peace of mind. ”

Fu Chang was not so silent at this time, he frowned and said, "I basically admit your prediction of the war, but..." ”

Zhuang Jihua interrupted him: "In fact, doing these two things well is very beneficial to Fu Gong. ”

Liu Xiang raised his eyes and looked at him suspiciously, "Cultural Revolution, what do you mean by this?" ”

"After the start of the Anti-Japanese War, can Nanjing be held? It will definitely not be able to hold it, and the national political axe will definitely move westward. As soon as Zhuang Jihua's words came out, Zhang Sike understood, he nodded a little excitedly, but Liu Xiang and Fu Chang looked at him in confusion.

"The Cultural Revolution is right, it can only be Yucheng." Zhang Sike said: "I've been thinking about this question, if Nanjing can't hold it, where will the national political axe be moved, it can only be Yucheng, but after the national political axe is moved to Yucheng, the chairman of the committee will strengthen his control over Sichuan, but he can only control the upper echelons at most, if we make these improvements and establish grassroots organizations in imitation of Yucheng, then the inheritance of Sichuan is still in our hands." ”

Zhuang Jihua couldn't help but smile bitterly, and said in his heart Brother Zhang Sike, if you want to say this, you can go back and say it, why do you have to say it in front of me, isn't this deliberately embarrassing me.

Liu Xiang was shocked, it was not terrible to control the upper level, the lower level organization was in their hands, and the funds could be provided by the Sichuan Development Company, so that he had the capital to confront Chiang Kai-shek, Liu Xiang's eyes became brighter and brighter.

Zhuang Jihua kept silent, as if he hadn't heard Zhang Sike's words, but Fu Chang retorted: "We don't have so many grassroots officials, and almost all grassroots officials have been trained in government affairs training courses, and they have long been pulled by the central government. ”

Zhang Sike shook his head and said: "Zhenwu, we can learn from Yucheng, Yucheng first established a grassroots militia, transformed the soldiers who retired from the army into the captains of the village militia team, and then established the township military service center, and combined the director of the military service center with the township mayor, this is the real power to control the grassroots." ”

"Hey, everyone, everyone, don't be good if I don't exist," Zhuang Jihua couldn't help but shouted: "I'm sent by the Central Committee, a student of the chairman, I'm afraid it's not appropriate for you to discuss this in front of me." ”

Liu Xiang smiled slightly, he stepped forward and patted Zhuang Jihua on the shoulder: "Hehe, this is a joke, we don't have so many cadres, and there are many Qiu Ba who can't read a basket of big characters, let them go, I'm not at ease." ”

Speaking of this, Liu Xiang frowned and said: "But I can trust you, but I can't trust the chairman, we all know about Wang Jialie, I don't want to end up like this, if the chairman asks you to try me, what can you do?" ”

The biting dog doesn't bark, Liu Xiang's question is too sharp, the office fell silent for a while, Zhang Sike and Fu Chang's eyes were focused on Zhuang Jihua, Zhuang Jihua thought for a long time before asking: "What do I say, will you believe it?" ”

This time it was Liu Xiang's turn to be stunned, and after staying for a long time, Zhuang Jihua and Liu Xiang laughed almost at the same time, and after the laughter, Zhuang Jihua slowly said his thoughts: "The chairman hopes that the Sichuan Army will continue to be reorganized, and I also think that the Sichuan Army can continue to be reorganized, so it is in the interests of the central and local governments." ”

When Zhuang Jihua said this, he was a little anxious Fu Chang couldn't help but interject and refute, but Zhuang Jihua and Liu Xiang stopped him from speaking almost at the same time, Zhuang Jihua continued: "There are two ways to reorganize, one is the mixed formation of the Sichuan army, in fact, the Sichuan army is still the coexistence of various forces, this kind of mixed organization unifies the military order in Sichuan, the disadvantage of this strategy is that it is too difficult, and it is very problematic whether others are willing; In the second way, each army is reorganized in turn or at the same time, and if there are many Fugong troops, two or three divisions will be reorganized first; When all the Sichuan army was reorganized into 200,000 troops, the remaining 50,000 were eliminated, leaving 50,000 as caretakers. ”

Zhuang Jihua's plan is not ingenious, but it is very strong, Liu Xiang was silent for a while, a little moved, Zhang Sike immediately stood up and said: "Fu Gong, this matter is big, let's discuss it again." ”

Liu Xiang didn't agree or refuse, he just thought silently, according to his personal opinion, he could accept the second plan, but this was not only his personal matter, it was related to the whole group, and he nodded for a long time and agreed with Zhang Sike's suggestion.

Zhuang Jihua didn't think that Liu Xiang would agree now, and it was already very good to be able to achieve such a result. Fu Chang was a little inexplicable, the purpose of their coming here was to fight for ammunition supplies, but now they were about to make the decision to reorganize the Sichuan army, this change was too fast, he looked at Zhuang Jihua and couldn't help but sarcastically say again.

"No wonder people say that the most important thing to say about the Whampoa Military Academy is the Zhuang Cultural Revolution, I can be regarded as knowledgeable with your mouth, amazing, really powerful, the dead can tell you to live."

Zhuang Jihua couldn't help but ridicule each other: "Brother Zhenwu, when I entered Sichuan, I also heard that Fu Zhenwu was a generous man and a hot-blooded husband in Sichuan, but I didn't know that after a few years, I found that the sharp spear in the hand of Fu Zhenwu, who was brave enough to go to the battlefield, was gone, and only his sharp teeth remained. ”

Fu Chang was stunned for a moment, and Zhang Sike laughed and said: "Brother Zhenwu, you just said that he has a powerful mouth, bickering, can you win?" ”

Fu Chang laughed at himself, but Zhuang Jihua shook his head and said: "Brother Si Ke is wrong again, can he be good at arguing, can he persuade you and Fu Gong if he can speak well?" You're underestimating yourselves. ”

Zhang Sike was dumbfounded, it really can't be said that he can speak well, they actually lost in the strategic vision, Zhuang Jihua stood on the strategy of a game of chess in the whole country and confronted the local strategy they pursued, and the result was naturally self-evident.

The two important strategists under him were defeated one after another, but Liu Xiang was not annoyed, he just smiled faintly, and then said: "Cultural Revolution, this year's war can make me poor, when will next year's taxes and company dividends be transferred." ”

"Well, dividends, I don't know, you can ask Brother Shaoqing, the tax placed in Yucheng can be given to you now." Zhuang Jihua pondered for a moment and said, he knew that Liu Xiang didn't tell a lie, for more than a year, Liu Xiang's military expenses had pulled down a big deficit, and he had already asked Mei Yuntian for a loan of two million, but he was still stretched, and he didn't want to embarrass him on this.

After Zhuang Jihua finished speaking, he took out the checkbook and wrote the check, Liu Xiang watched him dance with interest on the checkbook, and signed his name neatly.

"Cultural Revolution, how did you fill this hole, as far as I know, the tax revenue in Yucheng does not exceed five million, and the gap is 11 million, plus education funds, how come you also have a hole of 30 million this year, where did you get the money?" This question has been hovering in Liu Xiang's heart for a long time, and now he finally can't help but ask.
