Chiang Kai-shek's puzzled eyes swirled on Zhuang Jihua, who was still accusing Kong Xiangxi of his crimes: "The principal advocates a new life and requires officials at all levels to be honest and honest, but what about Kong Xiangxi? For the sake of his personal interests, in disregard of national development, and in order to monopolize the right to import and export agents, the third phase of the expansion project of the Yunnan Iron and Steel Plant was postponed for as long as half a year, and the construction period of the Yunnan Arsenal, the Guizhou Machinery Factory, and the Radio Factory was delayed, and some of the programs are still in place today.

Speaking of Sichuan, in order to meet the needs of the front, Sichuan implemented material control, and Kong Lingwei dared to send people to the countryside to buy grain and smuggle it in military vehicles. Kong Lingwei also sent people to mine coal and iron ore in Qijiang and Nantong to steal national minerals. The Air Force purchased planes from the United States, Kong Xiangxi designated the agency as the full agent of his daughter Kong Lingjun's company, Kong Lingjun dared to receive a kickback of 20,000 US dollars per plane, and financially, Kong Xiangxi was even bolder, completely ignoring the country's financial difficulties, these things are clear to the students, worried about the face of you and your wife, the students have been holding back, principal, this cancer must be dug up, although it hurts, but it must be done. ”

Chiang Kai-shek's face was gloomy, Kong Xiangxi and his family misbehaved, he didn't know, but he didn't expect his behavior to be so bold, he also knew that Zhuang Jihua had a contradiction with him, but he didn't expect the contradiction between the two to be so deep, Zhuang Jihua made it clear this time that the carriage and horse were going to lift Kong Xiangxi off the horse, and even the old man Mei came out to take the lead, and I am afraid that Zhang Jingjiang and others would follow, and now Deng Yanda and Li Jishen of the third party have not made trouble yet, if they make trouble, the political situation will immediately be chaotic.

"You....," Chiang Kai-shek's face was gloomy, his chest rose and fell, and he finally couldn't help but slap his palm: "According to what you say, the President of the Executive Yuan of China's Civil Affairs Axe is a heinous criminal!" It's time for a thousand cuts! This world is honest and honest as far as you Zhuang Jihua is! Ridiculous! ”

"The students are not lying." Zhuang Jihua raised the materials in his hand and protested, Chiang Kai-shek is going to be angry, ordinary people are already frightened, there are not many people in this world who can argue with Chiang Kai-shek face to face, there are only a few veterans in the Kuomintang, Deng Yanda in the Whampoa department, and only Zhuang Jihua among the Huangpu students.

"In this way, for so many years, I have used corrupt officials and corrupt officials! You are arrogant! Chiang Kai-shek slapped his palm on the table again and shouted angrily.

"There are also principals who are deceived, and now the War of Resistance has reached a critical moment, it is the time to climb the slope hard, and it is necessary for the whole [***] people to work together to tide over the difficulties, if Kong Xiangxi's gang is allowed to go unchecked, corruption [***] will spread to all levels of society, spread to the army, and the country will therefore..."

"Nonsense!" Chiang Kai-shek couldn't suppress it anymore, pointed at Zhuang Jihua's nose and scolded: "Bold, over the years, President Kong has worked hard and worked hard to raise military expenses, even if it is a little mistake, it is still more merit than fault!" If you do this, where will you put the axe of government? The reputation of our Kuomintang has been ruined for you! ”

Zhuang Jihua did not show weakness, and still insisted that Kong Xiangxi step down, the two of them became louder and louder, the guard adjutant in the courtyard had a worried face, Chen Bui and Lin Wei hid in the house and refused to come out, Wang Xiaoshan was worried, one hand could not stop rubbing on his legs, Tang Zong's expression was uncertain, he glanced outside the house for a while, and glanced at Wang Xiaoshan for a while.

"It's okay, Xiaoshan, don't worry." Having said that, but the look on Tang Zong's face clearly betrayed him, Wang Xiaoshan was indeed very nervous in his heart, he was very worried that Chiang Kai-shek would shoot Zhuang Jihua on the spot in a fit of rage, and even if he was detained, he believed that he could snatch Zhuang Jihua out, but if it was on the spot, he could only take risks, but this Tang Zong in front of him seemed to notice something.

Wang Xiaoshan smiled at Tang Zong, bowed his head and continued to deal with the information in his hand, the recent intelligence from Beiping showed that after the Yue army occupied Wuhan, the Yue army in Jiangbei was blocking the attack on Suixian and Zaoyang by the five theaters under the command of Li Zongren, and was ready to continue to open up the Pinghan line, while the 11th Army was preparing to attack Nanchang and open up the Nanxun line. However, the offensive of the Yue army has slowed down, and the Wuhan battle has invested a total of one million troops, and the losses are also staggering, with more than 300,000 casualties, of which 200,000 were killed, and the weapons and ammunition are also unsustainable.

However, as the highest intelligence gathering place, the situation of the [***] team is also very serious, the [***] team invested a total of 1.7 million in the defense of Wuhan, 1593, the casualties in the four theaters were as high as 600,000, of which more than 400,000 were killed, especially the elite troops of the five theaters, several troops from the southwest achieved the greatest results and suffered the greatest losses, the 102nd Army, the 103rd Army, the 47th Army, and more than half of the losses, the army commander Li Jiayu and the division commander Wang Mingzhang were killed, and the army commander Sun Liren, the division commander Liao Yaoxiang and Rao Guohua were wounded. The regiment commanders, battalion commanders, and company commanders below lost more than half.

Now these troops can no longer fight, and they have all withdrawn to the Sichuan-Hubei border to rest and replenish. The reinforcements mobilized from Hunan and Sichuan were quickly replenished to the troops, but the problem was that the replenishment of weapons and ammunition could not catch up, and the troops still could not fight.

"Sometimes I feel cold when I calculate for Director Zhuang, and I stand by and watch when I do things, but now, everyone wants to take a bite." Tang Zong sighed and took the initiative to stir up the topic. After the establishment of the Material Bureau, Zhang Lisheng focused on taking care of the Ninth Theater, Chen Cheng's civil engineering department gave priority to equipment, and the warehouses in the Ninth Theater were filled with all kinds of equipment, while the miscellaneous troops in the Fifth Theater were rarely replenished, and the 22nd and 23rd Group Armies mainly relied on the supplies that Zhuang Jihua secretly "saved" so that they would not be cut off.

"Kong Xiangxi is not the only one staring at the Southwest Development Team." Wang Xiaoshan replied without being salty, and his eyes were still looking out the window in the direction of Chiang Kai-shek's office, where the quarrel was still very big.

Tang Zong smiled bitterly, who is really staring at the Southwest Development Team, everyone knows in their hearts, Zhuang Jihua has given up most of the power of the Southwest Development Team, and now he is developing Guizhou, it is not to imitate Jiang Wei's move to avoid trouble, but some people are still pressing step by step, forcing him to this point today.

They were talking "aimlessly" in the room, Chen Bui and Lin Wei who were hiding in the office were also chatting, Lin Wei was the director of the first attendant, Chen Bui was the director of the second attendant, the offices of the two were not in the same place, but after Zhuang Jihua came, Lin Wei quietly ran to Chen Bui's office.

"It turned out that I heard that only Zhuang Jihua dared to argue with the chairman face to face among the Huangpu classmates, but I didn't believe it, but now I believe it." Lin Wei smiled bitterly and shook his head, Zhuang Jihua's voice was no smaller than Chiang Kai-shek's, but what was strange was that even though Chiang Kai-shek was angry, he didn't scold his mother like he did to others, let alone beat people, you must know that Uncle Song Ziwen was slapped in the face.

"Ugh." Chen Bui just sighed lowly, he has always been cautious and he will not say anything about this matter, Lin Wei will not say anything anymore, the two of them are thinking about their hearts, they are both cautious people, they will not express their opinions at this time, from the bottom of their hearts, they support Zhuang Jihua, but Kong Xiangxi is so easy to bring down? There is also a Song Meiling who didn't come forward.

Song Meiling was next door to Chiang Kai-shek's office, hearing Zhuang Jihua and Chiang Kai-shek arguing face-to-face, counting Kong Xiangxi's bad deeds, the more she listened, the more frightened she became, she didn't expect Zhuang Jihua to master so many materials, Kong Xiangxi has been trying to get involved in the Sichuan Development Company, she still knows this, but she didn't expect the contradiction between the two to be so deep, and Zhuang Jihua's counterattack came so fiercely.

"Principal, students pay to open mines and factories, for the sake of the country's prosperity and strength, for the sake of resistance, not for him Kong Xiangxi to make money!" Zhuang Jihua also became excited, and said loudly without any scruples: "The principal has reprimanded many times, saying that the Huangpu classmates have lost their sharpness during the Northern Expedition, and have been trying to restore Huangpu's combat effectiveness, so you launched the New Life Movement and punished the [***] elements among the Huangpu classmates, I don't understand, why Kong Xiangxi can't be punished!" ”

Chiang Kai-shek crossed his waist with one hand, don't look at him angry, in fact, he still has reservations, he can slap Song Ziwen, but Zhuang Jihua, this slap can't go on.

"Have you ever thought about it, if you do this, you are equivalent to providing shells for others, shells for attacking political axes! It's the equivalent of giving a knife to someone else! ”

"There is nothing in this, it has to be squeezed if it is pus, and this move is to inform the world that our party has the ability to eliminate its own shortcomings and is willing to accept the supervision of people outside the party!" Zhuang Jihua didn't let a single step, since the attack was launched, he had to stick to the end.

Chiang Kai-shek rushed to Zhuang Jihua in a few steps, raised his hand, and put it down, Zhuang Jihua looked at him intently, without the slightest flinch in his eyes.

"I'm your teacher, you should listen to me!" Chiang Kai-shek waved his hand.

"If the country has a minister, there is a country; The family has a son, and the family is not defeated. Zhuang Jihua immediately went up.

Chiang Kai-shek couldn't stand it a little, grabbed the cup on the table and smashed it on the ground, when Song Meiling pushed the door in, and saw that the two were like two roosters, facing each other angrily.

"Don't make any noise," Song Meiling gently persuaded: "Great order, dissipate your anger, Cultural Revolution, you too, why are you doing this." ”

Saying that, she called someone to come in and clean up the debris on the ground, today she has seen Zhuang Jihua's toughness, how many veteran generals are trembling with fear when Chiang Kai-shek is angry, and even Song Ziwen has to retreat, but he dares to go up and force Chiang Kai-shek to have no choice.

"I'm too indulgent to him, I'm going to discipline him harshly!" Chiang Kai-shek was still furious.

Zhuang Jihua raised his head and was about to refute, but Song Meiling pulled him aside with a smile and sat down, and then went to Chiang Kai-shek's side, pressed him to the seat, and personally poured tea for them.

"Cultural Revolution, do you know about Ling Jun?" Song Meiling's face was full of concern, she didn't ask Kong Xiangxi directly, but only mentioned Kong Lingjun.

Song Meiling is really a master of mediating the atmosphere, and she transferred the contradiction in one sentence, Kong Lingjun is much smaller than Kong Xiangxi.
