Chiang Kai-shek, who was angry, sighed and couldn't help but think of the benefits of former Executive Yuan Tan Yanhong.

In the Nanjing National Political Axe, the second highest position after Chiang Kai-shek and Hu Hanmin is the Executive Yuan Tan Yanhong.

Tan Yanmin once served as the chairman of the National Political Axe, and later took the initiative to give up the chairmanship to Chiang Kai-shek. Within the Kuomintang, since April 12, on the surface, it seems that the "party power" is respected by Hu Hanmin, the "military power" is completely controlled by Chiang Kai-shek, and the "political power" is in charge of Tan Yanhong.

Tan Yanmin was born in a family of eunuchs, and his father Tan Zhonglin was the governor of Liangguang. Tan Yanmin was a jinshi in the late Qing Dynasty, a Hanlin officer, and the chairman of the Hunan Advisory Bureau, and was an important figure in the constitutionalists. During the Xinhai Revolution, he was elected governor of Hunan. After he joined the Kuomintang, he was appointed to supervise Hunan three times in danger.

When Sun Yat-sen was in Guangdong, Tan Yanmin served as the secretary general of the base camp and the commander-in-chief of the Hunan army. He has a wealth of political experience and is extremely tactful.

After the victory of the Northern Expedition, he gradually realized that Chiang Kai-shek had become the most powerful figure in the Kuomintang. Decades of officialdom experience have taught him that strength always comes first. It was precisely based on the consideration of "strength" that after the victory of the Northern Expedition, Tan Yanmin was willing to give up the post of chairman of the state government to Chiang Kai-shek, and he himself deigned to be reappointed as the premier.

Because Tan Yanmin knew very well that he could not surpass Chiang Kai-shek and Hu Hanmin in both "military power" and "party power", he used his "glorious" history to maneuver between "military power" and "party power", thus always maintaining his transcendent position and winning the reputation of "being good at mediating intra-party disputes".

In the past, whenever Chiang Kai-shek and Hu Hanmin clashed, Tan Yanmin became an indispensable mediator. With Tan Yanmin here, although there are many contradictions between Chiang Kai-shek and Hu Hanmin, there is always a way to dredge up and not cause an open confrontation between the two.

However, in September 1930, just when Chiang Kai-shek had just won the Central Plains War, Tan Yanmin suddenly died of a cerebral hemorrhage.

After Chiang Kai-shek took over as premier, he lost this figure who played a buffer between Chiang and Hu, and between the arrogant Chiang Kai-shek and Hu Hanmin, who dared to criticize anyone he thought had done wrong, a conflict was almost inevitable.

This time, Chiang Kai-shek wanted to use civil rights to negotiate party power in France, just to limit Hu Hanmin's ability to suppress him Chiang Kai-shek with party power and his prestige in the party, which caused such a blatant uproar.

Thinking of this, Chiang Kai-shek couldn't help but feel a trace of remorse in his heart, did he do it too quickly?

However, this trace of remorse only stayed in Chiang Kai-shek's mind for a moment, and then quickly disappeared.

The stubborn Chiang Kai-shek has always dared to act boldly, and this was the case in the "Zhongshan Ship Incident" in those years, the same was true in the "April 12" period, and the same was true when he attacked the Gui Army, the Northwest Army, and the Jin Sui Army, which were even stronger than the Central Army.

Chiang Kai-shek breathed a sigh of relief, tried to calm his irritated mind, turned and slowly walked back to his chair, reaching for a button on his desk.

When Wang Shihe, the chief of the guard, pushed the door in and waited for his order, Chiang Kai-shek's expression had completely returned to normal.

Chiang Kai-shek asked Wang Shihe if the three people he was scheduled to summon had arrived, including Dai Li, Wang Zhengting, and Yu Dawei.

Yu Dawei is a native of Zhejiang, smart since childhood, and has the ability to never forget. He went to Harvard University in 1918 to study philosophy, and in only 3 years he received a doctorate with all 12 A's in 12 courses, and won a Sheldon Travel Scholarship to study at the University of Berlin in Germany, where he continued to study philosophy and began to study mathematics.

In 1925, a mathematical paper by Yu Dawei, who had only studied mathematics for two years, was published in the most famous German mathematics journal (mathematischeannalen), and he also became the first Chinese to publish a modern mathematical paper in the journal, and the paper of the famous mathematician Hua Luogeng was published in the journal a few years later.

Yu Dawei returned to China in June 29.

In 1928, the Kuomintang began to modernize the armed forces after the initial unification of the whole country. Chen Yi, director of the General Administration of Ordnance Industry, discovered Yu Dawei's talent when he went to Germany for an inspection and asked Yu Dawei to return to China to take up his post.

In May last year, he was appointed by the General Ordnance Industry Administration to Germany to study military affairs, including weapons manufacturing, campaign analysis, and ballistics. Because of the short study time, David Yu worked very hard, he wrote more than 40 books in German with only notes, and in his own words, he learned more during this study time in Germany than he learned in three years at Harvard!

Because Yu Dawei's ability and talent are very outstanding, he is very appreciated by Chen Yi.

Chen Yi, who has always liked to promote newcomers, recommended Yu Dawei to Chiang Kai-shek many times. In order to make Chiang Kai-shek agree with Yu Dawei as soon as possible, Chen Yi not only handed over the work of the Ordnance Industry Administration to Yu Dawei as much as possible, but also tried his best to take Yu Dawei with him whenever Chiang Kai-shek summoned him.

After a long time, Chiang Kai-shek also appreciated Yu Dawei's talent, and now whenever he inquired about military engineering, Chiang Kai-shek went directly to Yu Dawei. Anyone with a discerning eye can see that this talented young man must have a great future in the future.

Wang Shihe replied cautiously: "Report to the chairman, all three of them have arrived." At present, General Director He, Minister Chen, Secretary General Yang, Minister Song, Director Lin, and Mayor Zhang, who has just arrived from Shanghai, are all waiting for the chairman to summon him.

Hearing that He Yingqin, Chen Guofu, Yang Yongtai, Song Ziwen, Lin Wei, and Zhang Qun were all here, Chiang Kai-shek's heart couldn't help but feel hot. He knew that these people would always support him, and they came to visit and comfort him Jiang Zhongzheng.

Chiang Kai-shek wanted to see these people first, but after hesitating, he still told Wang Shihe that he wanted to see Dai Li first.

Dai Li's original name was Dai Chunfeng, a student of the sixth phase of Huangpu, and the name Dai Li was changed when he entered Huangpu.

It is said that before Dai Li's name was changed, he asked a fortune teller to tell his fortune. At that time, the fortune teller who was known as the god counted him as the "six yin and the rising sun", killing weight without control, the five elements lacked water, and the name needed to bring water to the great benefit. As a result, he changed his name to Dai Li.

Although this character does not have the word "water" next to it, it is matched with his surname, because only when it rains will farmers wear hats. For the name "Dai Li", it rains every day. Taking the word rain farmer is because of the name, the meaning of the farmer in the rain. Always bathed in the rain, nature is even more auspicious.

That magic is really extraordinary, and after Dai Li's name was changed, he really made steady progress and soared.

As his status continued to change, Dai Li's words became more and more trusting of the fortune teller. Even if you take a pseudonym or pen name, you never dare to forget to "hydrate". He has successively used pseudonyms such as Shen Peilin, Wang Tao, Jiang Hanqing, Hong Miao and other names, all of which are to replenish the water in the five elements, and each one has more water than the other.

The name Hongmiao is extremely abundant in water, and it has also developed from replenishing water with rain to replenishing water with extremely dangerous floods.

As stated in "Lü's Spring and Autumn Period, Bozhi": "All must be lacking, and the extreme must be reversed." Dai Li, who finally died in the torrential rain due to "hydration" to the extreme.

Dai Li's talent for secret service is extremely talented, even genius. The Investigation and Communications Group has achieved remarkable results under his planning and organization, and in a short period of time, the amount of valuable intelligence gathered has exceeded that of the Central Investigation Section, which is far stronger in personnel and funds than the Investigation and Communications Group.

Chiang Kai-shek had a habit of setting up some overlapping or even overlapping organizations under his own command for the purpose of allowing them to supervise and compete with each other, which would not only facilitate his better control over his subordinates, but also make these institutions more efficient because of competition.

The Survey Correspondence Team was set up for this purpose. Especially in April, after Gu Shunzhang, a member of the Central Committee, director of the Central Transportation Bureau, and responsible for the organization and leadership of the [***] Central Special Branch, was captured in Wuhan by the Central Investigation Bureau, Gu Shunzhang defected and confessed many secrets of the [***] Shanghai Provisional Central Committee.

It could have taken advantage of this God-given opportunity to seize all the high-ranking personnel in Shanghai in one fell swoop. However, there were [***] high-level agents, Li Kenong, chief of the special service unit of the Shanghai Radio Administration, which is subordinate to the Central Investigation Bureau, and Hu Di, director of the Tianjin Great Wall News Agency, who were undercover in the Investigation Section, so that secrets were leaked and all the senior cadres of the Communist Party fled. Only after the incident caught Xiang Zhongfa, secretary of the Communist Party, and identified Yun Daiying, one of the four murderers of Whampoa that Chiang Kai-shek hated deeply, and the current secretary general of the Propaganda Department and Organization Department of the Shanghai Provisional Central Committee.

This made Chiang Kai-shek extremely dissatisfied with the Central Investigation Bureau, and also strengthened Chiang Kai-shek's decision to set up another secret agency.

Chiang Kai-shek, who not only now granted Dai Lia a large amount of funds, but also prepared to gradually expand Dai Li's communications investigation team, and eventually make Dai Li's organization strong enough to compete with the Central Investigation Bureau.

Dai Li, as usual, respectfully began to report to Chiang Kai-shek what he had in his possession, and which Chiang Kai-shek had to know about every time he had recently recruited the Kuomintang veterans in Nanjing and Shanghai, was preparing to go south to Guangzhou.

During Dai Li's report, Chiang Kai-shek kept his eyes slightly closed, leaned back in his chair and listened silently.

When he heard that Zhang Ji and Tan Zhen had also booked tickets to Guangzhou in Shanghai, Chiang Kai-shek suddenly opened his eyes, and a chilling light flashed in his eyes.

Although Dai Li stood in front of Chiang Kai-shek with low eyebrows, Chiang Kai-shek's every move was watched by him barely.

Dai Li hurriedly said: "The students have sent people to monitor these people. It's just that if you find out that these people are going to flee south, do you need to arrest them? The students were a little unsure of their ideas, so they asked the chairman to give them a ......"
