-- Wuhan

After listening to Jin Shan's report, Jiang Cheng nodded and said, "Please let this matter rot in your stomach, don't talk about it to anyone, understand?" ”

Jin Shan also knew that this letter to Chiang Ching-kuo must have extremely important content in it, and nodded to show that he understood.

At this time, Ba Shun came in and said, "Boss, Old Yu is back." ”

Seeing Yu Qiaqing, who was obviously much older, Jiang Cheng asked worriedly, "Old Yu, you have to take care of your body." ”

Yu Qiaqing smiled and shook her hand and said, "I've heard that you have done a good job, you have rescued so many people, and you have accumulated great virtue." ”

Jiang Cheng sighed and said, "It's a pity that we can't save all the people in Nanjing City, it has become hell now." ”

Yu Qiaqing also sighed, the scene was cold, and Jiang Cheng said, "How are Mr. Du and Boss Huang doing now?" ”

Yu Qiaqing said, "They are all fine, don't worry, Mr. Du is now secretly in charge of Shanghai, Shanghai is very chaotic now, the underworld forces are reshuffling, I heard that some people want to jump out." ”

Jiang Cheng smiled indifferently and said, "It's just a clown who jumps off the beam, I'll clean them up sooner or later, by the way, there's no news about that Zhang Xiaolin?" ”

Yu Qiaqing squinted his eyes and shook his head and said, "This person is still hiding so well, none of us have heard from him, but Mr. Du once hinted to me that I should not be in a hurry, and said that he would avenge us." By the way, Jiang Cheng, what are you going to do next? ”

Jiang Cheng looked at the ceiling and said, "Although I bought a lot of German weapons, but the Battle of Songhu is basically the same as I expected, it seems that our situation will not be good in the last two years, but Wuhan here will be safer in the last half a year, Yishan can also get better treatment here, I will find doctors in Germany and the United States." ”

Yu Qiaqing touched his beard and said, "Yan'an, you need to have more snacks, take care of it." Do you know Wang Ming? ”

When Jiang Cheng heard this name, he looked at Yu Qiaqing and asked, "What's wrong with him?" ”

Yu Qiaqing said meaningfully: "He has come to Wuhan, and his actions are not small, Xinhua News Agency is now known throughout the country, and his articles continue to advocate the united front, requiring the united front to be the supreme instruction in everything." People who don't know still think that he is the advocate of Jiang Mediation, but now Jiang Intermediary values him very much, and the two complement each other. ”

When Jiang Cheng heard this, he immediately calculated in his heart, Wang Ming has no military power now, and there will be no big storms, but it is also a troublesome thing for the Red Party to be completely controlled by him, and it seems that he is going to Yan'an.

Jiang Cheng was going to meet Jiang Intermediary once, and then returned to Hyundai and transferred to Yan'an.

When Jiang heard that Jiang Cheng had come to Wuhan, he was also conflicted. The intelligence reported by the soldiers rescued by Jiang Cheng said that the eight achievements of the pontoon bridge were built by Jiang Cheng, and now they can build three pontoon bridges under the noses of Tang Shengzhi and the Japanese army, will they dig a tunnel under their own residence in the future? Jiang Intermediary felt creepy when he thought of this, and when he thought of what Chen Bui said, he secretly laughed in his heart that he had made a fuss, so he let the guards let Jiang Cheng in.

Jiang Cheng came in, saluted Jiang and said, "It's okay to take a seat." ”

Jiang Zhong beckoned with a smile and said, "Come, come, sit down." Nothing good in winter, this is a sand pear that has just been delivered. You taste it. ”

Jiang Cheng was suddenly a little flattered, and hurriedly sat down to take it and said, "Bench, did I do something wrong again?" ”

Jiang Intermediary shook his head and said, "You did a good job, when was the pontoon bridge in Nanjing erected?" Thanks to you, tens of thousands of elites and people can be preserved. ”

Jiang Cheng didn't have an extremely angry expression when he saw that Jiang Intermediary talked about Nanjing. knew that he didn't know about the Nanjing Massacre, and Jiang Cheng didn't have any evidence now, so he didn't say this, but said, "The pontoon bridge was built by Brigade Commander Zhu of the 87th Division and others overnight, but it's a pity that Brigade Commander Zhu is a pity." Because of the construction of the pontoon bridge, I didn't want to be mistaken by others for being greedy for life and afraid of death, so I didn't retreat from fighting to the death, and I didn't retreat when I took people to save them. ”

Jiang intermediary only then knew that it was because he had a relationship with Jiang Cheng that Zhu Chi helped Jiang Cheng, and when he heard Zhu Chi's death, he sighed and said, "Zhu Chi is my good student, Gu Quan, I have to say sorry for this incident, if I didn't listen to you, maybe Nanjing wouldn't be like this, if you want anything in the future, just tell me, I'm a short-tempered person, don't take it to heart." ”

Jiang Cheng felt a chill in his back when he heard it, as the saying goes, if something goes wrong, there must be a demon, Jiang Cheng looked at Jiang Intermediary in front of him, and felt that he didn't know whether it was right or wrong this time.

Jiang continued: "What do you think of the war behind? ”

Jiang Cheng calmed down and said, "After the Japanese army captures Nanjing, they will definitely think that our army has no fighting spirit, I think we can use the arrogance of the Japanese army to fight a victory, and we must be prepared for international changes." ”

Jiang said excitedly, "Did you get any news?" ”

Jiang Cheng shook his head with a wry smile and said, "Germany is rising, Europe is too busy to take care of itself, the United States is making a lot of money now because of the Sino-Japanese war, where will it come to save us, now the only thing we can rely on is the Soviet Union, in addition, Europe and the United States will look at Asia sooner or later, and then the sea route will not be able to go. ”

Chiang was not sensitive to international affairs and was not familiar with economic theory, so when he heard that the United States had made a lot of money because of the Sino-Japanese war, he couldn't help but ask, "Why does the United States make money?" ”

Jiang Cheng felt that it was an opportunity, so he said in detail, "Commission, since the world economic crisis in 31 years, the economy of Europe and the United States has been weak, although the United States has recovered under Roosevelt's New Deal, but in the past two years, the effectiveness of the New Deal has gradually declined, the unemployment rate in the United States this year is as high as 16%, and Japan is actually a country with no resources, in this year's war, Japan's military spending has been rising, a large part of which is in the manufacture of weapons, and weapons manufacturing needs steel, tanks, warships, and airplanes all need oil. Japan's steel production capacity is insufficient, let alone oil and rubber. It can be said that our war is ostensibly fought between us and Japan, but behind the scenes, we are facing Japan and the United States, and the United States is using this war as a source of power for economic revitalization. ”

It was the first time Jiang had heard of these things. I couldn't help but say, "Could it be that we really can't win this war?" ”

Jiang Cheng just wanted to tell Jiang that the foreigners were unreliable, but he didn't want Jiang to give up resistance, so he hurriedly said, "That's not it, the United States' support for Japan will become a contradiction between them, after all, no one wants to be someone else's puppet, so it is only a matter of time before the United States and Japan fall out." Rest assured. ”

Jiang intermediary nodded and said, "Well, I understand, Gu Quan, if there are any international trends in the future, we must report them in time, and if there is such a thing as the Nanjing pontoon bridge in the future, you can tell me in advance, as long as it is beneficial to the party-state, I will definitely support it." ”

Jiang Cheng let out a long breath as he left Jiang Agent's office. Just as he was about to leave, Chen Bui came over and said, "Colonel Jiang, what's wrong?" ”

Jiang Cheng hurriedly said, "The majesty of the commission is growing, and I am sweating like rain." ”

Chen Bui shook his head and said, "It seems that this is indeed a big dye vat, even Colonel Jiang will talk like this, Colonel Jiang, Boss Dai is a little dissatisfied with you, you still have to pay attention to things in the future." ”

Jiang Cheng saw that Chen Bui was selling well to him, and hurriedly replied, "Thank you Mr. Chen for your advice." Jiang Cheng kept it in mind. ”

Chen Bui watched Jiang Cheng leave, nodded, walked into Jiang Intermediary's office and said, "Take a seat." The Japanese envoy is here, do you want to see it? ”

Jiang Zhong snorted coldly and said, "What are you here for?" It's not the same old thing, you want to persuade you to surrender? Can I Jiang someone be Qin Hui? Missing! ”

Chen Bui saw the attitude of Jiang Intermediary and also understood that the loss of Nanjing was expected by Jiang Intermediary in his heart, and Jiang Intermediary was still relatively optimistic about the future war. Therefore, he was not willing to give in to the Japanese like this, so he withdrew.

Chiang said suddenly: "I will make an appointment with the Soviet ambassador again, and I will say that I want to ask for military assistance from the Soviet Union again." ”

The Battle of Songhu exhausted Chiang's German armourers, and Hitler made it clear that he would not provide additional weapons assistance, and the last weapons were still at sea. Chiang also had to find a new source of weapons. At this point, the Soviet Union became the only option.

Jiang Cheng returned to Yu Qiaqing, gave a few instructions, looked at Yu Yishan again, and returned to modern times, preparing to go to Yan'an, and at this time, a middle-aged man came to Wuhan.

As soon as the middle-aged man got off the train, he was surrounded by a group of people, and Wang Ming said to the middle-aged man, "Welcome, Comrade Ye Ting." ”

Ye Ting, just over 40 years old this year, joined the army since childhood, as early as 1920 he defeated four times the enemy in one fell swoop and became famous all over the world, and later during the Northern Expedition, he laid the name of the Iron Army, after the failure of the Guangzhou Uprising in 1928, Ye Ting received a notice to go to the Soviet Union. Due to the groundless accusations of Li Lisan and Wang Ming, he decided to quit the Red Party and join the "Third Party" initiated and organized by the leftists of the White Party, Deng Yanda, Chen Youren, and Soong Ching-ling.

Although the Guangzhou Uprising was affirmed at the Sixth Red Party Congress afterwards, he was not rehabilitated, and Ye Ting lost confidence in the Red Party Pavilion from then on. He lives in Germany and makes a living as a translator.

Fortunately, Zhou Guansheng found him and had a long talk with him, which made him rekindle the flame of the battle, and after 918, he studied the situation in China day and night, and finally decided to return to China to participate in the war after the 77 Incident.

At this time, the New Fourth Army was in the final stage of its establishment, both the Red and White parties wanted to get this force, and finally Zhou Guansheng proposed Ye Ting, Jiang Intermediary thought that Ye Ting was his old subordinate, and had quit the Red Party, which was an acceptable candidate, and Zhou Guansheng was also very confident in Ye Ting's will to be clear, so Ye Ting was elected as the commander of the New Fourth Army. After Ye Ting returned to China, he immediately went to Yan'an and said that he would definitely follow the instructions of the Party Central Committee and Chairman Mao to do a good job in the work of white face and red heart, and then came to Wuhan to take up his post.

After Wang Ming came to Wuhan, although he had some power, he always felt that he had some confidence in the face of Yan'an, which made Wang Ming, who claimed to be the embodiment of the Red Party International in China, feel uncomfortable, and finally he reacted, because there was no army to listen to him, Wang Ming immediately looked at the New Fourth Army beside him, and then pinched his nose to greet Ye Ting.

Ye Ting looked at Wang Ming, and when he was criticized and accused by Wang Ming at that time, Ye Ting tilted his head and said, "I'm sorry, although the Kuomintang Revolutionary Committee has been disbanded, I am no longer a member of the Red Party now, please let go." After speaking, he walked directly past Wang Ming.

Wang Ming looked at Ye Ting's attitude, and said angrily, "What kind of attitude is this, I don't want to come back at all." I'm going to write an article criticizing him right away! ”

Qin Bangxian has actually understood that Wang Ming's set is not good in the past half a year, but he has been helping him because of his cooperation and friendship with Wang Ming for so long, and hurriedly said, "Ye Ting has indeed not joined our Red Party now, his current identity is the general of the National Army, if we have any action, I am afraid it is not appropriate." ”

Wang Ming immediately replied, "He just went to Yan'an and expressed his stance with Mao Yongzhi, hum, I see, he is the only Mao Yongzhi in his heart, in Wuhan, I am the highest person in charge of the Red Party!" There is no distinction between the top and the bottom, what kind of system does it become? ”

Qin Bangxian continued: "But on the table, Ye Ting ignored what we said about the past, he can use the excuse that he wants to maintain the united front and is inconvenient to get too close to our party. ”

After hearing this, Wang Ming took a deep breath, looked at Ye Ting's back resentfully, and secretly said in his heart, "Feng Shui takes turns, Ye Ting, you wait for me!" ”

Wang Ming closed his eyes and said, "Let's go, let's go find Comrade Xiang Ying, I see, this Ye is not of the same mind as us, we have to get vaccinated as soon as possible." ”

Jiang intermediary originally thought that Ye Ting would go to Yan'an first and then come to Wuhan after returning to China, but after learning about the turmoil at the train station, he immediately put his mind at ease, and became more and more satisfied with Wang Ming, and couldn't help but think that if there were more Wang Ming in the Red Party, then he would no longer have to worry about the Red Party.

He Yingqin asked, "Commission, should the equipment problem of the New Fourth Army be solved?" By what criteria? ”

Jiang Intermediary thought for a while and said, "According to the standards of the German mechanic, in addition, give Ye Ting a special approval of 20,000 yuan, just say that I gave it, I hope he will serve the country wholeheartedly, don't be bewitched by others." ”

He Yingqin smiled and said, "Bench, this is Huaizhirous, I hope this Ye Ting can understand whose world it is now." ”

Jiang Zhong waved his hand and said, "That's it, let's not talk about this, let's talk about Shandong." ”

After Ye Ting met with Xiang Ying and others, he learned that the equipment had been distributed, so he led everyone to the warehouse. Ye Ting was surprised to find that the equipment of the New Fourth Army in front of him was the same as that of the Central Army of the White Army, all German-style weapons, and the Central Army also had few anti-aircraft guns, Ye Ting smiled and said to Xiang Ying, "Great, with these, our battle will be easy to fight." ”

saw Xiang Ying with a straight face and said, "Commander Ye, is our next task down?" ”

Ye Ting felt strange when he saw Xiang Ying like this, and he didn't care, and said, "Well, let's go to Nanchang first, first, to familiarize ourselves with the weapon, and secondly, everyone has been fighting guerrilla for so long, and it is very hard, so I also take the opportunity to rest." ”

Xiang Ying nodded, turned to a few officers and said, "Okay, the Red Party Party Committee is coming in for a meeting." Commander Ye, I'm sorry, you're not a member of our party now, so I have to ask you to wait outside. With that, Xiang Ying led everyone into the room for a meeting.

Ye Ting was stunned and watched the four detachment leaders and department heads under him leave, and he didn't know what to do, Lin Zhifu, the minister of enemy engineering who was introduced to the New Fourth Army by Ye Ting, said worriedly, "Junzao, how does it feel wrong." ”

Ye Ting said with a smile, "The Red Party is like this, there are often meetings within the party, okay, there's nothing to do, let's disperse." After saying that, he left the warehouse with a blushing face.

The New Fourth Army came to Nanchang and soon began the final reorganization work, due to Jiang Cheng's reminder, the New Fourth Army at this time was much more than in history, with more than 13,000 people, divided into four detachments, Ye Ting was full of confidence and decided to repeat the prestige of the Fourth Army Iron Army on the battlefield of resistance against Japan.
