Section IV Diplomacy X

"Do we give them a lot? No, in fact, it is very little, they pay seventy percent of the land rent every year to thirty percent, and they can leave no more than 100 catties of grain, but what is their return? Two sons, sent two relatives to the battlefield. And I'm sure whoever tells them about the overthrow of the national axe, they will oppose it. ”

Deng Wenyi was thinking about the social reform carried out by the Blue Coat Society in Jiangxi, which was poured out with blood, and at least one million people died, but the effect was far inferior to the social reform carried out by Zhuang Jihua in Yucheng, what is the reason? He Zhenhan was right, the roots are still in the party organization, and the grassroots organization of the Kuomintang in Yucheng is the most rigorous, and its combat effectiveness is also the strongest. It was precisely by relying on this powerful grassroots organization that Zhuang Jihua overcame all difficulties and successfully carried out social reforms.

Bai Sitong thought differently, GCD is also carrying out social reform, he compared the social reform of Yucheng and the social reform of Soviet Russia in his heart, and found that the two sides have great similarities in surnames, both of which are mandatory surnames, the only difference is that Soviet Russia is more thorough, Yucheng is more about reform, and more attention to the law, and all the results of reform have been formulated with corresponding legal provisions to protect.

They all came from that vigorous revolution, and they all threw themselves into the vigorous revolution with the purpose of saving China, but history seemed to play a joke on them, but they saw the light in this southwest corner.

"It is true that Borodin said in the old days that any revolution has a redistribution of economic benefits." Zhuang Jihua looked at the green mountains and sighed.

"At that time, the peasant movement in Hunan was not forced to redistribute economic benefits, but it caused a stir and was finally suppressed." Bai Sitong sighed.

"The difference between me and them is that they are in a hurry to kill everything, and naturally they want to cause a backlash, I don't rush to kill everything, leaving them a way back." Zhuang Jihua's tone was a little proud, but Bai Sitong and Deng Wenyi could understand that no matter who made such a big achievement, it was inevitable to be proud.

"Stalin was a very shrewd man," Zhuang Jihua pulled the topic to Soviet Russia: "He didn't believe Hitler, the Soviet-Finnish war was to push the Leningrad defense line to the west, to Stalin's disappointment, although the Soviet army won the victory, but the performance was too poor, Zhang Gufeng battle, the Soviet army performed equally reluctantly, these two battles, prompted Stalin to reconsider the construction of the Soviet army." ”

"Cultural Revolution, do you mean that Soviet Russia is likely to stop its rebellion in the army, and it is also likely to agree to our demands?" Bai Sitong reacted sharply, but he didn't ask Zhuang Jihua how he knew about T34 and rocket artillery technology, and it was obvious that Zhuang Jihua would not talk about it.

It is not a secret that Soviet Russia is carrying out a great purge and rebellion, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs has long reported it, and the domestic media have also analyzed and reported, but they are all general, only the Yuzhou Evening News has issued a few powerful reports, and it has also caused protests in Soviet Russia, and also caused protests from [***], because [***] believes that this is an implication [***].

"The rebellion may not stop," Gong Xiuhua interjected disdainfully: "Stalin just took this opportunity to eliminate dissidents, do you believe that there are so many counter-revolutionaries among the Central Committee members of Soviet Russia?" Such a high-ranking general in the army is a counter-revolutionary? If so, the Bolsheviks would not have been exterminated sooner! ”

More than half of the articles in the Yuzhou Evening News were written by Gong Xiuhua, and she fiercely criticized Soviet Russia, believing that what Soviet Russia was engaged in was not socialism at all, but the resurgence of feudalism, and that Stalin was a new generation of tsars, and her sharp words chased Lu Xun directly, causing a sensation in domestic public opinion.

"Secretary Gong is right, it turns out that China cannot engage in GC doctrine," Deng Wenyi also nodded, and this time the discussion was highly praised by Chiang Kai-shek, who believed that it exposed the cruel nature of GCD. He Jinhan and Chen Lifu organized a group of defectors and traitors from GCD, including Zhang Guotao, to participate in this discussion.

Yucheng has the most analysis and report on the suppression of Soviet Russia, and later this comment was extended to [***] The purges carried out on the eve of the Long March, the deaths of Jiang Xianyun and Xu Jishen and others were brought up again for discussion, especially the great purge in western Hunan and Hubei, which made Zhuang Jihua, a modern person, feel incredible, the 50,000 troops killed only 4,000 people, so that no one dared to be a junior officer, and senior generals were not spared, among the founders of the base area in western Hunan and Hubei, in addition to He Long, others including Duan Dechang, Zhou Yiqun and others were all killed.

The discussion eventually subsided under the stern protests of [***] and Soviet Russia, but the blow to [***] influence in the Kuomintang was very great, especially among young students, and the influence and appeal plummeted.

"Cultural Revolution, what's going on with that Boeing?" Bai Sitong finally asked, and this question had been circling in his mind for a long time.

"That's the Mei family's industry," Zhuang Jihua had already thought of a countermeasure: "Old man Mei thought that our scientific and technological strength was weak, so he bought Boeing, North American aircraft and other major airlines, and formed the new Boeing Company, which is currently the largest aircraft manufacturing company in the United States. Merezov is not wrong, their stuff is equal to ours, it's just not known how he got the news, the KGB really lived up to its name. ”

This remark is tantamount to officially attributing the problem of leaking secrets to the United States, Deng Wenyi and Bai Sitong didn't care, Gong Xiuhua smiled lightly: "It's easy to have such a casual day, you guys, what are you doing with these troubles, it's better to talk about it lightly." ”

"Haha, Miss Embroidery said it well," Bai Sitong said with a smile: "Cultural Revolution, I heard that the Battle of Nanjing was put on the screen, and Zhao Dan performed you in a chic manner, which is so enviable." ”

"Oh, really?" Zhuang Jihua smiled faintly, after the Battle of Nanjing was changed into a drama, it was recently made into a movie by the newly established Huayi Film Company, and the performance in Yucheng was a great success, but Zhuang Jihua has not seen it, and he is only interested in dancing in this period of entertainment.

"You didn't see it?" Bai Sitong was a little surprised.

"In terms of the expression of the current movie, it is difficult to show the whole process of the defense of Nanjing, it may be better to only shoot Guangde's counterattack." Zhuang Jihua said seriously.

"You," Bai Sitong smiled, turned his head and said to Gong Xiuhua: "Miss Gong is played by Zhou Xuan, who is also known as a lark." ”

"That's good, but she's not as pretty as I am." Gong Xiuhua said with a smile.

A few people talked and laughed back to the hotel, the ambiguous relationship between Zhuang Jihua and the palace embroidery painting, Deng Wenyi and Bai Sitong were aware of it, but neither of them broke it, this kind of anti-Japanese war lady is too much among the party-state generals, with Zhuang Jihua's prestige and power, let alone a palace embroidery painting, even if there are two more, it is not strange.

Leisure time always passed quickly, and the two sides sat down at the negotiating table again, this time there was no boring topic such as weather, and Zhuang Jihua went straight to the point.

"Your Excellency, can you tell me Moscow's reply?"

Merezov's thick Adam's apple rolled slightly before he said: "Moscow has agreed to your request, but Moscow has asked me to explain to you that rocket artillery technology is not yet mature and needs to be corrected, so we cannot guarantee that the final rocket artillery will be the current rocket artillery." ”

"In that case, we ask your country to provide a sample." Zhuang Jihua was also not polite, so he directly increased the size.

After a moment's thought, Merezov nodded in agreement, but he added: "But we also have a request, your country must keep it secret, and without our consent, this technology cannot be transferred to any third party." ”

"It's nature." Zhuang Jihua agreed, but in his heart, he secretly thought that if the Americans found out, I am afraid they would not be able to keep it secret for you.

With this basis, the two sides soon reached an agreement that the Chinese side would provide Soviet Russia with a full set of technical information on B17 bombers, P40 fighters and new fighters; Soviet Russia will provide China with a complete set of information on the T34 tank, and help China build a factory for the production of T34 tanks, provide China with a complete set of rocket artillery and rocket materials, and help China build a factory for the production of rocket artillery and rockets, which must be built by May next year; In addition, China will send 30 technicians to Soviet Russia, who will have the right to consult, record, and copy all technical information on the T34 and rocket artillery.

By the end of the negotiation, Zhou Liyi was still a little dizzy, this negotiation took longer than the last time, and the reason for the longer was not that the two sides were arguing with each other, but that the two sides had a long time to review the details of the documents.

"That's it." After Merezov left, Zhou Liyi was still a little dizzy, feeling that he had not played any role at all, and the two negotiations were over, and I am afraid that there has never been such a rapid situation in the diplomatic history of the Republic of China.

"Okay, the mission is over, let's go back, we have to implement this agreement, there is still a lot of work to be done." Zhuang Jihua raised the documents in his hand and said to a few people who were packing up their things.

"Xue Bing, your appointment has been to the southwest camp, give you three days off, go back and clean up, and then go to Guizhou to find Brother Expand to report." Zhuang Jihua said to Deng Wenyi.

Deng Wenyi suppressed the excitement in his heart and replied repeatedly, Bai Sitong thought that he was going back to Chengdu, Zhuang Jihua turned his head and said to him again: "Brother Bai, you go to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs to report, the chairman of the committee has rearranged your work." ”

"Okay." Bai Sitong suppressed the excitement in his heart, and frankly said that he really wanted to go back to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, and going to Chengdu was originally degraded, not his strength at all, and diplomacy was the field where he could display his talents.

Zhuang Jihua took the palace embroidery painting to the Huangshan Mansion to report to Chiang Kai-shek, Chiang Kai-shek took the agreement and looked at it carefully, and asked a little strangely: "Since they are willing to help us build the factory and hand over all the materials, why do they send people to Moscow?" ”

"I'm a little worried that they will hide their technology, we suffered last time on the tank, and we can't afford to lose again this time." Zhuang Jihua replied, in fact, Zhuang Jihua was worried that the cycle of building the factory was too long, and as soon as the Soviet-German war broke out, the Soviets would go all out to fight against Germany, and they would not care about this matter anymore.

Chiang Kai-shek nodded, put down the agreement and asked, "What are you going to do?" Or will it be left to the Southwest Development Team? ”

"Only the Southwest Development Team has this funding." Zhuang Jihua said calmly: "In addition, the efficiency of the southwest development team is higher, I don't worry about changing to someone else, and I also put some burden on Jingguo, don't keep going around in the original circle." ”

After Chiang Ching-kuo presided over the work in Chongqing, Chiang Kai-shek found that he was much tougher than Zhuang Jihua, and Zhuang Jihua was relatively soft, but Chiang Ching-kuo took tough measures to forcibly implement his policy, and many people reacted greatly to this, and Chiang Kai-shek also recruited him to the official residence to talk, although Chiang Ching-kuo promised in his mouth, but he did not change at all after going back.

"What about the British?" Chiang Kai-shek asked again, which meant that he acquiesced to Zhuang Jihua's approach.

"The purpose of the British coming this time is to test, they don't want to defend Burma at all, their strategy is to defend India, and when the army reaches the Indo-Burmese border, we will launch an offensive on the northern front to relieve the pressure on them." Zhuang Jihua's face changed suddenly: "These people want to do good things, without Yangon, Myanmar has no meaning to us, why should we fight for them." ”

Zhuang Jihua was angry, and Chiang Kai-shek was equally angry, he pondered for a moment in silence and asked, "Is there any way to do that?" ”

Chiang Kai-shek's voice was full of helplessness, if the British army wanted to do this, he had no choice at all. Zhuang Jihua thought for a while and said: "There is only one way, to fight poison with poison, we refuse to send troops to Burma, and in addition, we will repair the Sichuan-Tibet line all the way to southern Tibet and go directly to India, so that the British know our determination." ”

Fortunately, Liu Wenhui's 24th military town in Lhasa, those pro-British nobles in Tibetan Province did not dare to move, after Wu Zhongxin provoked the Longxia case, some pro-British nobles saw that it was not good, and quietly fled, and the British began to protest again, asking the national government axe to stop Liu Wenhui's indiscriminate killing.

Of course, Chiang Kai-shek would not accept such a protest, but even this was enough to give him a headache, and he didn't know how many sentences of national scolding he had scolded.

"Headmaster," Zhuang Jihua didn't seem to see Chiang Kai-shek's face, and continued: "Tibet Province must leave heavy troops, and I suggest that another 20,000 people be transferred from Xikang into Tibet. ”

"20,000?" Chiang Kai-shek was a little surprised, and then shook his head: "20,000 people are too much, Cultural Revolution, don't just care about increasing troops, one more person, logistics will transport an extra piece of food, a set of military uniforms, 20,000 people, too much, too much." ”

Zhuang Jihua was stunned for a moment, and then he realized that he had thought things simple, the logistics of the garrison in Tibet Province were all transported from the mainland, and food, weapons, ammunition, and military uniforms were all transported from the mainland, which made the already tense materials even more tense.

"In this way, let the troops be increased by 5,000, and Xiang Chuanyi be allocated 3,000 rifles, 20 60 mortars, and the rest will be solved by themselves. In addition, after completing the road construction task, the road construction team will all be turned into soldiers and incorporated into the 24 th Army, but this year, the road must be repaired to Lhasa, and if the task is not completed, it will be punished as the loss of fighter planes. ”

Zhuang Jihua had to admit that Chiang Kai-shek's method of handling the matter was better and more reasonable.

"How to implement this agreement, you go to Yu Dawei to discuss, and send a working group as soon as possible." Chiang Kai-shek finally said.

"Understood, the student quits." After Zhuang Jihua agreed, he turned around and left.
