The reason why Zhang Qun was able to come from Shanghai in a hurry was because Zhang Ji and Tan Zhen lived in Shanghai, and Li Shi came to Nanjing this time, and he also went to Shanghai to meet the two first.

Zhang Ji, Tan Zhen, and Li Shizeng came to Nanjing this time, and they were afraid that Chiang Kai-shek would be angry and detain them like Hu Hanmin. Just in case, they deliberately held a press conference in Shanghai with great fanfare before they came.

Zhang Qun, who got the news, wanted to stop a few people at the station, but when he chased him to the station, the car had already started.

Zhang Qun had no choice but to call the rest of the house and inform Chiang Kai-shek to make preparations in advance, and he himself hurriedly chased after him.

After He Yingqin, Zhang Qun and others came in with heavy faces, Chiang Kai-shek thought that these people were worried that the arrival of Zhang Ji and others would make him feel bad, and he couldn't help but feel a hot current in his heart, and his eyes were much kinder when he looked at everyone.

After beckoning everyone to sit down, Chiang Kai-shek leaned back in his chair and briefed these henchmen on the situation of Zhang Ji and others in an understatement.

As soon as Chiang Kai-shek finished speaking, these people aroused a wave of angry rebuke from these people, the three elders who were beyond their strength, Zhang Ji, Tan Zhen, and Li Shizeng.

Especially Song Ziwen, Ping's elegant demeanor has disappeared at all, and at this moment, he actually cursed Zhang Ji and the others loudly with a red face and a thick neck.

Chiang Kai-shek did not suspect that these people were pretentious, and he believed that these people understood that only when Chiang Kai-shek was in this position, these people here would live a more peaceful life and a better future. If Wang Jingwei is replaced, these people will be ousted one by one sooner or later. Especially Song Ziwen, even more so.

Among these people, Wang Zhengting and Yu Dawei said the least, and they just followed everyone to condemn Zhang Ji and others for a few words, and then sat aside and listened.

Wang Zhengting did not speak much for two reasons, one was that he was thinking about how to answer Chiang Kai-shek's complaint from the Ministry of Foreign Affairs to the League of Nations against the Soviet Union for invading Northern Mongolia.

In addition, there is another reason, that is, because his little sister and Zhang Xueliang are a little unclear, hearing that Zhang Xueliang abducted the big star butterfly in Beiping, his little sister left home and went to Beiping to find Zhang Xueliang. This incident has already caused a stir in Shanghai and Nanjing, and has been widely reported by major newspapers in lace news.

Wang Zhengting's mother and wife had rushed to Beiping yesterday to find someone, which made him feel very faceless in front of everyone, and he was even more bored with Zhang Xueliang, a playboy.

Although Yu Dawei has returned to China for more than two years, his time at the top is still too short, and his qualifications are incomparable with these people. And it was the first time he had experienced such an occasion today, and he was frightened by the appearance of these big people. After only two perfunctory sentences, I didn't dare to speak again.

Seeing that everyone was almost venting, Chiang Kai-shek waved his hand to stop everyone. said slowly: "These rotten Confucians only know how to boast and talk, but they don't know the hardships of politics. Their wild words, I just think of them as rabid dogs barking. ”

"As long as we defeat the troops of Liangguang militarily, everything will be calm. The hundreds of thousands of troops of Liangguang Chen Jitang and Li Zongren were not enough to worry about, and during the Central Plains War, the millions of people of Feng Huanzhang and Yan Baichuan were not defeated by the Central Army. ”

"The question now is to try to stabilize the rest of the local forces. With the lessons of the Central Plains War, those local forces have become much more honest, and it is easy for no one to dare to wade into this muddy water. However, we should not take it lightly, we should take chances, and there are still arrogant people who dare to take risks, and we must pay close attention to prevent changes. ”

"For example, Feng Huanzhang is ready to move, I think it is my brother who is tired of studying in Mount Tai, and wants to go down the mountain to move his hands and feet."

Chen Guofu interjected: "The chairman of the committee is too worried. ”

"Feng Yuxiang is now without a single soldier, what can he do! According to the report of the Shandong Party Department, although Han Fuyu was very respectful to Feng Yuxiang on the surface, he was very afraid of Feng Yuxiang's idea of attacking his troops, and he was very vigilant against Feng Yuxiang. Feng Yuxiang is so angry that he now runs a primary school in Puzhao Temple in Taishan and is teaching more than 30 children to read. ”

Chiang Kai-shek shook his head and said: "I am relieved of Han Fuyu, who is now exercising power in Shandong, crowding out cadres sent by the central government everywhere, and even daring to privately withhold the central government's tax revenues to recruit troops and buy weapons and ammunition. These, I, Jiang Zhongzheng, can faintly keep going, can he do it under Feng Huanzhang? Han Fuyu is cunning and wise, and he will not be unclear about these. ”

"But Lifu, don't underestimate Feng Huanzhang and his people. Since Beiyang, Feng Huanzhang has had several ups and downs, and he can spin and spin every time, which shows that he has extraordinary ability. Although the Northwest Army was dispatched by us, the central government had not yet freed up its hands to completely eliminate the influence of Feng Huanzhang in these Northwest Army troops. For example, Song Zheyuan's 29th Army, Yang Hucheng's 17th Route Army, Sun Lianzhong's 26th Route Army, and Ji Hongchang's 30th Division. The central authorities' control over these formed units is still very weak. ”

Chiang Kai-shek smiled disdainfully and continued: "Although there is no big mistake in being careful, there is no need to worry too much, these are small things, even the affairs of Liangguang are not a big deal, it is not difficult to solve them militarily, Jing Zhi will personally go to Changsha to preside over the overall situation of quelling the chaos, and the problem will be completely solved before the end of the year." ”

"The most critical thing now is that there are two things to be solved as soon as possible, one is that the domestic bandits are in turmoil; The second is the invasion of Northern Mongolia by Soviet Russia. The latter, in particular, is the most urgent and urgent task at the moment. ”

Chiang Kai-shek did not notice the demeanor of the people when he mentioned the "invasion of Northern Mongolia by Soviet Russia", and continued worriedly: "Throughout history, the most aggravating social contradictions are the invasion of foreign enemies. Even in the Republic of China, we also have lessons from the past. ”

"In the last Middle Road incident, Zhang Hanqing signed a private contract with Soviet Russia, which attracted a lot of scolding from the Chinese people. If Beimeng is lost this time, then I, Jiang Zhongzheng, will become the target of public criticism and the target of public opinion. If there are any more so-called party veterans such as Wang Jingwei, I, Jiang Zhongzheng, will probably have only one way to go. ”

"You have also seen that a few days ago, public opinion was very fierce about the affairs in Beimeng, but fortunately, Wenge was still quite competitive and fought an exciting victory, which made the pressure of domestic public opinion on the political axe ease a little."

Speaking of this, Chiang Kai-shek exhaled a long breath lightly, raised his voice and said: "It would be nice if there could be another great victory like Manchuria in Northern Mongolia, then the prestige of the national political axe would be unprecedentedly high at home and abroad, and the Guangzhou problem would be solved without a single shot." ”

After a pause, Chiang Kai-shek said helplessly: "It's just that this time is different from the Middle East Road, this time the Soviet Union and Russia came prepared, with more than 400,000 troops and aircraft and artillery to help......

Chiang Kai-shek shook his head worriedly and said: "Our strength is too weak, and even if we exert our strength now, we will not be the opponent of Soviet Russia." Again, Changqing said it well, only if we first stabilize the country, and then actively develop the economy and reorganize the armament for war, will it be possible to compete with Soviet Russia for a short period of time. ”

"But it takes time, the students are young, and a group of literati do not know the way of politics and military affairs, and they will only speak as fast as they want, and if they really want to, the Central Army will go north to resist the Soviet Union, and if they can't win, I am afraid that the country will soon be in chaos, and it may even be taken advantage of by the Communist Party to turn red."

"Now in Northern Mongolia, it is impossible to have a victory like the victory in Manchuria, but it is not completely impossible, as long as Wen Ge can make up his mind and fight to the death, the Fourth Route Army will not withdraw from Northern Mongolia, even if we only have a couple of Northern Mongolia, we will maintain a military presence in Northern Mongolia, and then through the intervention of the League of Nations, there will be room for things to turn around, and the pressure on the central political axe will not be very great."

He Yingqin said worriedly: "What the chairman said is extremely true, I have organized several operations on the map, and our army in Northern Mongolia has absolutely no possibility of victory, and the best situation is that the remnants of the Fourth Route Army will finally retreat to the mountainous area southwest of Northern Mongolia to defend it. ”

Zhang Qun secretly shook his head, seeing that Chiang Kai-shek was still fantasizing about the intervention of the League of Nations, he couldn't bear it, and hesitated for a moment and said: "Chairman, I think we are considering negotiating with Soviet Russia to solve the Northern Mongolian problem?" ”

As soon as the words came out, Zhang Qun himself already regretted it, this was really a bad idea that couldn't be more rancid.

Sure enough, Zhang Qun's suggestion was resolutely and categorically rejected by Chiang Kai-shek.

"There is absolutely no possibility of negotiation on the issue of Northern Mongolia, what Soviet Russia wants is the entire territory of Northern Mongolia, and they will never give up if they fail to achieve their goal. If we want to negotiate a solution, we must have the strength to back it up, and the strength of Soviet Russia is far stronger than ours, and it will never compromise on this issue unless we give them North Mongolia. ”

"If this is the case, I, Jiang Zhongzheng, will be an out-and-out traitor, not only will I not be able to face the people, but I, Jiang Zhongzheng, will no longer have the shame to be the leader of the Republic of China, so I will directly invite Wang Jingwei back."

The more Chiang Kai-shek spoke, the higher his tone became, and in the end he was a little angry, which made Zhang Qun's face a little unbearable, and Zhang Qun's face couldn't help but blush slightly.

Having said this, Chiang Kai-shek also found that his words were too heavy, and Zhang Qun was also worried about himself, so he was a little unscrupulous.

Chiang Kai-shek picked up the glass of water on the table, took a sip of water, and no longer raised the issue of peace talks, but said with great ambition: "With our own strength, it is absolutely impossible to fight against the Soviet army, and peace talks are even more impossible, and the only way now is to ask the League of Nations to intervene." After the October Revolution, the Great Powers had collectively armed themselves in support of White Russia and had also intervened in the Soviet Union, and now they are equally unwilling to see Soviet Russia, a communist state, take on a large scale. ”

"This time, I came to the Confucian Hall to understand the attitude of the League of Nations towards the invasion of Soviet Russia and what actions it will take to stop the invasion of Northern Mongolia by Soviet Russia? Now that you're all here, listen to it together. Rutang, let's talk about it. ”

As soon as Chiang Kai-shek's words came out, the room immediately became silent, and everyone, including Song Ziwen, who had never paid much attention to words and deeds in front of Chiang Kai-shek, silently lowered their heads, and did not even dare to look at Chiang Kai-shek, who was full of hope for the League of Nations, and everyone's eyes were full of helplessness, pain, anger, and infinite sympathy for Chiang Kai-shek.

Wang Zhengting's face turned pale and he opened his mouth a few times, but he couldn't speak......
