Chapter 46: The Chairman's Thoughts

(There is no recommendation, so it's all please, leave the tickets to the little rider every day, there is no good result without support, and there is no good recommendation, the recommendation is based on the results of the book, please everyone!) Otherwise it will be a cycle of evil surnames! )

Zhang Xuewu knows that the so-called political alliances and guidelines are actually without any effective commitments, nor any guidelines, there is no love for no reason in this world, and there is no hate for no reason, so Zhang Xuewu is still slightly vigilant about the olive branch handed by Song Ziwen, why did Song Ziwen solicit himself? Wasn't the question he asked about Zhang Xueliang in the car earlier to test Chiang Kai-shek's political views and tendencies? A few casual remarks, perhaps?

Zhang Xuewu will regret his idiotic behavior in the car before, what he just said seems to be very thorough and sharp, but in fact it is a bunch of empty nonsense, he is holding the salary of the Northeast Frontier Army, and he is Zhang Xueliang's cousin, so slandered behind his back? Who have you become in the eyes of others? If you say too much, you will lose, and if you say too much, you will lose!

After entering the official residence, Chiang Kai-shek and Zhang Zhizhong had already taken the seats, Song Ziwen sat in the right-hand position he was used to, and Zhang Xuewu sat at the end, Chiang Kai-shek nodded with satisfaction and said: "Today Wenbai submitted a summary of the Shanghai Operation, which I think is very good!" It is of extremely high value to national defense construction! In particular, it is very necessary to build a permanent national defense line between Nanjing and Shanghai. ”

Chiang Kai-shek looked at Zhang Zhizhong, who was eager to try on the side, and said with a smile: "I know that Wen Bai must want to take the initiative to ask for help, but this matter should be left to others to do!" Wenbai, you still have a heavy responsibility to do. ”

As soon as Zhang Xuewu heard that Chiang Kai-shek was going to hand over the defense line to someone else to supervise the construction instead of Zhang Zhizhong, he knew that it was very likely that he would repeat the mistakes of the "Wufu Line" in history.

Chiang Kai-shek glanced at Zhang Zhizhong, who was slightly disappointed, and then looked at Zhang Xuewudao: "According to Wenbai, many of the suggestions in this are put forward by Chengwen, which makes me very happy!" You are all soldiers, you young people should get used to looking at problems with a strategic eye, dare to innovate, and accept new things! I am so relieved! ”

Song Ziwen said with a smile while holding a red wine glass: "But don't forget, the chairman of the committee, it's still a bunch of old men who have the power to make decisions!" ”

Chiang Kai-shek was slightly displeased, and he even regretted inviting the eldest brother to lunch in the absence of his wife, but Chiang Kai-shek also knew that Song Ziwen was telling the truth, and the meetings of the Executive Yuan were always ridiculed by the outside world as a nursing home meeting, and entanglement with those old antiques was a headache for Chiang Kai-shek, so Chiang Kai-shek had a whimsical idea to force Wang Zhaoming to comply, and used the status of chairman of the Military Commission to monopolize military and political power, bypassing the irritable Executive Yuan.

However, Chiang Kai-shek's cleverness lies in the fact that he did not abolish any of the institutions and functions of the Executive Yuan, making the Executive Yuan a professional household with a black pot, and Wang Zhaoming saw this clearly, so he was forced to go abroad.

Although Chiang Kai-shek was very unhappy in his heart, he still glanced at Song Ziwen with a smile and said: "I am not an old stubborn who eats the past, the world is changing, people's minds are changing, and when they change, they will also change!" ”

Chiang Kai-shek turned his head to Zhang Xuewu and said: "I found you here today, in fact, I want to tell you that I have spoken with Han Qing on the phone, saying that I can be described as aggressive after the capture of Jinzhou, and the first part of its 10th Division even approached the Shanhaiguan line for a time, out of the arrangement of military deployment and the reorganization plan of the national armed forces, Xiong Bin, director of the staff of the Ministry of Military Affairs, has rushed to Tianjin, and the Jin Army, the Gui Department, the Sichuan Army, the Northeast Army, and the Northwest Army have all selected a powerful one, and after the assessment of the Ministry of Military Affairs, according to virtue [***] The first brigade of your new formation is the pilot unit of the Northeast Frontier Army. ”

As soon as Chiang Kai-shek's voice fell, Zhang Zhizhong and Song Ziwen's faces changed at the same time, and Zhang Zhizhong frowned and said: "Chairman of the Committee, in addition to the Northeast Army, what is the reaction of Yan Xishan, Li Zongren, Bai Chongxi, Liu Xiang, and Feng Yuxiang?" Didn't they join forces to boycott the reorganization plan drawn up by the German [***] Advisory Group for the Central Committee? How could you agree again? ”

Chiang Kai-shek smiled slightly: "I don't mean Jingzhou, only in the Chengwen department, even if those people agree, are they willing to send their descendants to the elite for reorganization?" There is no possibility, Li Zongren trained a group of troops in Guilin, all of them were trained according to the standards of non-commissioned officers, and they were called eight regiments to the outside world. I'm afraid that after Chengwen's troops become an army, they will make irresponsible remarks, and since they are unwilling to send elite soldiers and strong generals, then I can only be sorry for them, and the Ministry of Military Affairs will be very strict in this assessment, and those who fail to pass will be returned. ”

When Song Ziwen heard it from the side, he realized that Chiang Kai-shek was so wishful thinking, taking care of both the inside and the face between advance and retreat, and everyone except Zhang Hanqing, I am afraid that the inside and face will be gone.

Zhang Xuewu, who was stunned, also knew Chiang Kai-shek's profound intentions, Chiang Kai-shek was worthy of being an expert in annexation, and this move was a killer move, although he took the initiative to take refuge and serve, and Zhang Xueliang also intended to give the new first mixed brigade to the central government, in order to let Zhang Xuewu gain a firm foothold.

When Zhang Xuewu left Beiping to study in Nanjing, Zhang Xueliang had already instructed him that since he decided to take this step, he should not scruple too much, what should be said, what should be blamed, and not take into account his Zhang Hanqing's face! Now it seems that Zhang Xueliang also seemed to have expected this hand of Chiang Kai-shek, and Chiang Kai-shek's hand not only did not have to be grateful to Zhang Xueliang for his friendship, but also took a moral lead, and once the troops sent by Yan Xishan, Li Zongren, Bai Chongxi, Liu Xiang, Feng Yuxiang and others were openly repatriated by the Ministry of Military Affairs, saying that they had wasted food and had no combat effectiveness, it would inevitably cause an uproar.

And the spearhead of this uproar will be directed at the princes of all walks of life who support the army and respect themselves under the guidance of public opinion of the central political axe, so it can be said that it is difficult for the princes from all walks of life to advance, and the difficulty is that they must give up their elite divisions in vain, and it is even more difficult for those who retreat, and they will be condemned and condemned by the public opinion of the whole country, and no matter whether they succeed or fail, they have played a role in fueling Chiang Kai-shek's reorganization plan.

Zhang Xuewu took a deep breath of cold air, his simple effect led to so many disputes? Is this unimaginable? I'm afraid that I will be sold, and where will I count the money happily!

Zhang Xuewu is a little embarrassed at the moment, some books, films and television dramas in later generations have deliberately carried out the so-called demonization treatment, whether it is the IQ of the devil and the Kuomintang reactionaries, it is basically less than or equal to zero, and now it seems that those who can leave their names in this turbulent era, how can there be idle people?

Looking at Song Ziwen beside him, Zhang Xuewu made a decision that he thought was extremely correct, that is, he would choose an opportunity to explain his choice to Song Ziwen. The 28th "incident" was finally resolved with concessions from the Chinese side, and it can be seen from Soong Ziwen's performance today that Soong Ziwen already had a lot of dissatisfaction with Chiang Kai-shek, and he also seemed to recognize the serious threat of Yuben?

Historically, Song Ziwen ignored Chiang Kai-shek's established policy of "fighting outside the country must first secure the interior," repeatedly demanded resistance and salvation, flew to Peking several times to hold talks with Zhang Xueliang and Tang Yulin, and vigorously publicized the crime of aggression in the international community. In order to cope with the sudden incident in North China, he secretly negotiated with Qian Zongze, director of the Longhai Railway Bureau, to prepare more than 30 sets of trains and concentrate them in Haizhou, hoping to transport all the tax police regiments to Zhengzhou at a critical juncture, and be ready to go to Beiping at any time to defend against the enemy.

Later, Liu Zhi, chairman of Henan Province, discovered the matter and called Chiang Kai-shek to inform him. Chiang Kai-shek was naturally furious and ordered the Tax Police Corps to immediately return to its original defensive position, otherwise it would be regarded as a rebel disarming army immediately. Wen Yingxing, who once again served as the head of the regiment, did not dare to disobey and led his troops to return. Song Ziwen's actions and political attitude, coupled with his refusal to increase military spending for Chiang Kai-shek's suppression of the Communist Party, affected Chiang Kai-shek's strategic deployment, made Chiang Kai-shek extremely annoyed, forced Song to resign from the post of Minister of Finance, go abroad for inspection, and the tax police corps was finally digested by the Central Army after several reorganizations!
