Chapter 297: When Chiang Kai-shek and Zhou Enlai were arguing
"Chairman! Hey, Zhou ...... Minister Zhou? β
Qin Wei pushed open Chiang Kai-shek's office, thinking that there would be no second person in it except for a shiny bald head, but he didn't expect to disturb Zhou Enlai's conversation with Chiang Kai-shek...... In an instant, he knew that he had been tricked.
"It's Qin Wei, you're here just in time." Sure enough, as soon as he saw him, Lao Jiang's originally depressed expression was immediately swept away, as if he had seen a rescuer, and threw a helpless look at Zhou Enlai: "Enlai, you see, I still have important things to talk to Qin Wei about......
"Chairman, our affairs are also very important." Zhou Enlai was very dissatisfied, although Lao Jiang already had the intention of expelling the guests, but he did not plan to leave: "The Eighth Route Army and the New Fourth Army are also the National Revolutionary Army, if you drag it out like this, we will suffer huge sacrifices!" β
"What are you two talking about? Do you want me to avoid it first? Qin Wei looked at the door behind him, and wanted to turn around and leave...... The two real bigwigs in front of them are obviously arguing about an extremely important matter. Looking at Lao Jiang's performance, it is estimated that he can't hold it up in terms of reason, and he just hangs dead there. Think about it, how many people can detain Zhou Enlai in terms of lip service in these years? Not to mention that Lao Jiang is not good at this kind of thing, even Chen Bui's gang of pencies, seeing Zhou Enlai, it is estimated that they will have to take a detour...... It's not that they are not at a good level, but they can't play on the spot. And with the identities of Lao Jiang and Zhou Enlai, it seems that the fight is still very strong, and Qin Wei is reluctant to intervene...... Because it's wrong for him to favor anyone at this time.
"Commander Qin came just in time, just in time to give us a comment." Qin Wei wanted to get out, but before Lao Jiang could speak, Zhou Enlai pulled him first, "Commander Qin." You say, are the Eighth Route Army and the New Fourth Army the teams of the Anti-Japanese War? β
"yes." Qin Wei nodded hurriedly, "This should be for sure." β
"Are the Eighth Route Army and the New Fourth Army the sequence of the National Revolutionary Army?" Zhou Enlai asked again.
"The Eighteenth Army and the newly formed Fourth Army of the Army are the sequence of the National Revolutionary Army! Well documented! Qin Wei nodded again.
"So, should the Nationalist Government give all kinds of support to the Eighth Route Army and the New Fourth Army as it does to other troops?" Zhou Enlai asked again.
"It should be, it should be......" Qin Wei was like a chicken pecking rice.
"But the government doesn't have that much material right now." Chiang Kai-shek looked at Qin Wei nodding his head, and his nose was almost crooked in anger...... Where the hell are you standing? Always echoing Zhou Enlai, aren't you tantamount to forcing me with him? Which bastard put you in?
"We are well aware of the shortage of supplies. However, this does not mean that the central authorities can no longer support the troops at all levels. Our Eighth Route Army and the New Fourth Army suffered heavy losses in the battle against the Japanese invaders. Chairman Jiang, you don't have to allocate a single dollar of food and salary, we can understand the difficulties of the central authorities and wait for the central authorities to have spare power, but now the central authorities are not even willing to allocate us a little medicine, is this too much? Zhou Enlai asked Lao Jiang.
"Now there is a war going on all over the country. Especially the Ninth War Zone, in less than half a year. It has experienced two large-scale battles...... They are the ones who are in dire need of support now. It's not your Eighth Route Army! Chiang Kai-shek argued.
"We have not denied the merits of the Ninth Theater during this period, and we are well aware of the pressure and losses suffered by the Ninth Theater in the battle against the Japanese, and the central government is willing to make great efforts and devote most of its strength to support them, and we can only be happy about this. But you should understand that the Ninth War Zone is not the only one fighting against the Japanese invaders! β
"I know what you mean. But now the central ......"
"Well, can you interrupt?" Qin Wei squeezed his eyes and cautiously stopped Chiang Kai-shek's words, "What are you two fighting for...... Pharmaceuticals? β
"That's right!" Zhou Enlai grabbed in front of Chiang Kai-shek and nodded: "I don't know what Commander Qin thinks?" β
"This ...... It's not me saying you. Minister Zhou," Qin Wei looked at Zhou Enlai's face carefully: "Your New Fourth Army is okay, relatively honest; The Eighth Route Army is expanding too fast, right? The central authorities have only given you the establishment of three divisions, but you are good, now there are hundreds of thousands of people, all of whom are comparable to a group army. β
"That's right." Lao Jiang suddenly came to his senses, he had actually argued with Zhou Enlai about this issue just now, but unfortunately he was speechless by Zhou Enlai's refutation: because the Eighth Route Army did only have three divisions. As for the extra people, they were either guerrillas, independent columns, or death squads, and they did not occupy the establishment, nor did they receive a penny of his old Chiang's salary. And this approach is not just unique in the Eighth Route Army. Not to mention anything else, doesn't the military command have a "loyal and righteous national salvation army"? Dai Li and Du Yuesheng gathered those stragglers, bandits, hooligans, intellectuals and the like, and the number of them was hundreds of thousands, and many troops did not have any specific establishment, but what you should give was not less? Why is it that our Eighth Route Army is not in a hurry? You're obviously trying to suppress us miscellaneous cards! said a word, and stubbornly blocked back many of his reasons. But then again, after all, he was alone just now, and it was understandable that he had no power to parry in the face of Zhou Enlai's three-inch incorruptible tongue, but now it is different, Qin Wei also suddenly opened his mouth to accuse the Eighth Route Army of expanding too much and exceeding the establishment, he is equivalent to having supporters, and this confidence naturally came up all of a sudden. What's more, Qin Wei seems to be also known for his lip service...... Not only has he persuaded him and He Yingqin and others many times, but when he was not recruited by him before, it seems that he also trained those college students in Chongqing University who are above the top and dare not even fart, which can be said to be eloquent, and should be able to deal with Zhou Enlai, right?
"We wanted to report the establishment, but the central government has never given it." Zhou Enlai naturally would not be stumped by Qin Wei's pediatric questioning, and he stared at Jiang and Qin closely: "Does the government think that it is wrong for us to develop an anti-Japanese team?" But now many of the ranks of the National Revolutionary Army are also developing their ranks, and the government can give them what to do, but it does not give it to us? β
"This ......" Qin Wei seemed to be choked for a while, and then said with a wry smile: "You Communist Party have a 'criminal record'." You have opposed the National Government! β
"But now it's the cooperation of the Kuomintang and the Communist Party! Moreover, we voluntarily renounced our independent status and were willing to join the National Revolutionary Army and be under the leadership of the Nationalist Government...... Isn't that enough to show sincerity? Zhou Enlai said angrily: "Besides, it seems that we are not the only Communist Party who has opposed the chairman, right?" Yan Xishan, Feng Yuxiang, and Li Zongren have all done this. But now they are not still under the leadership of the national government? Some are still the commanders of the theater of operations, the commander-in-chief of the side! If they can, why can't we be trusted by the government? β
"Makes sense." Qin Wei smacked his lips and looked at Chiang Kai-shek with some embarrassment: "Chairman, look at ......"
"What am I looking at? The government is very short of all kinds of supplies, especially medicines! Chiang Kai-shek's eyes widened, "So, no matter what you say, don't use it." No is no! β
"Chairman," Qin Wei grinned, "Isn't it just some medicine?" Just give him a little...... I'm afraid that this war of resistance will be fought for a few more years, do you think he can still use this medicine until that time? β
"Commander Qin, what do you mean by that?" Zhou Enlai asked.
"What else could it be like? Open the skylight and say something. Qin Wei smiled bitterly, "The blood feud between the Kuomintang and the Communist Party is too deep, and it is not pleasing to anyone who looks at it, for fear that one will be eaten by the other party by accident." But everyone is not bad, and at this time of crisis, they also know that they can't let outsiders take advantage of them...... But we all know very well that as soon as the Japanese get out, it will be the turn of the Kuomintang and the Communist Party to pinch each other...... I'm not wrong, right? β
ββ¦β¦β
Both Chiang Kai-shek and Zhou Enlai remained silent. They really didn't expect Qin Wei to make his words clear...... At this time, there are some things that can be done and cannot be said. Just like Lao Jiang, he obviously wanted to find an opportunity to kill the Communist Party from top to bottom, but he was afraid of the pressure of public opinion from all walks of life, so he could only make an affectionate appearance with the Communist Party. Leader! Isn't it? And what about the Communist Party? When the Kuomintang and the Communist Party cooperated for the first time, they were so naΓ―ve that they thought that they could use political means to achieve socialism at home, but as a result, the Kuomintang suddenly turned around and killed how many of them? Lao Jiang held a "four. One or two", Wang Jingwei was also in Wuhan to clear the party, and they were all "I'd rather kill a thousand by mistake than let go of one", killing like a bloody gourd...... The blood feud is not so deep. Under such circumstances, if you want them to "cooperate intimately" with the Kuomintang like they did last time, isn't that a fool of the Communist Party?
So you want to kill me, I want to kill you...... But in the face of pressure from the common people of the whole country and the Japanese, they must also cooperate. This kind of cooperation is naturally impossible to change hearts and lungs. And once the external pressure is gone, the blood feud between the two sides for decades will inevitably erupt suddenly......
"Chairman, your mind is understood by all; Minister Zhou, what about your thoughts, everyone is also clear...... But now everyone is fighting the Japanese. So I suggest," Qin Wei sighed: "Chairman of the Committee, you allocate some medicines to Minister Zhou." They have a big spread now, and they have to face the Japanese sweep or something all the time, and the demand is also large. But this battle can't be finished in three years and two years, so their medicine will definitely not be used to end the Anti-Japanese War! In that case, it will naturally not affect your plans to attack them in the future, right? On the contrary, you can also get praise from the outside world, saying that you are magnanimous and treat everyone equally......"
"And what if I don't agree?" Chiang Kai-shek asked.
"It doesn't matter. Just when I'm talking nonsense! Qin Wei shrugged his shoulders and didn't care. (To be continued......)
