Early the next morning, Chiang Kai-shek rushed to a military camp and stood beside the national flag to lecture the officers and soldiers: "...... Another of the biggest problems of our Chinese soldiers is that they only know how to worship foreigners and flatter foreigners, but they don't know what their own country is. What is ism? Even if our own father became a traitor and couldn't get along with our country, we should also oppose him and ask for his life! ”

"Well said!" And they said in their hearts.

"You are a soldier in this barracks, and the commander-in-chief is Jiang Zhongzheng, but you must not think that I am Jiang Zhongzheng's subordinate, and Jiang Zhongzheng is my backer; It is even more unthinkable that as soldiers, we must obey the orders of our backers. If you have such a mind, and make a revolution entirely with personal feelings, then your revolution will not succeed, and," Chiang Kai-shek said in an aggravated tone: "Your personality has also been ruined!" ”

The officers and men cheered and were moved by the president's lofty remarks, followed the national flag fluttering in the morning breeze, and the officers and men applauded in the morning light.

Chiang Kai-shek's heart moved sharply, and he said in his heart: "I can't say it too well, they will really come to change my life in the future, isn't that lifting a stone to shoot myself in the foot?" ”

So, Chiang Kai-shek continued: "Comrades, you are already veterans of the anti-Japanese resistance, and this is a great honor for you! From now on, everyone will be a soldier and lead a soldier. If I were to lead the troops, and the environment would change in the future, or if my thinking would change and I would unexpectedly become an anti-Japanese elite and become a big hero, I don't know, but at that time, how would you feel about my leadership? ”

The officers and men were in a state of astonishment, and when they were stunned by the president's lack of words, they suddenly heard Chiang Kai-shek shouting: "It is the duty of a soldier to obey orders!" Finished! With that, he drove to the Military Council.

"The meeting begins!" But this meeting ended quickly, and another Li Zongren was promoted: Lao Jiang made Li Zongren the commander-in-chief of the Fifth Theater.

However, it was said that Chiang Kai-shek appointed Li Zongren and held so much power, and some people expressed their dissatisfaction. Among them, Deng Xihou, Liu Xiang, and others, commanders-in-chief of the 22nd Group Army, had just been attacked by Chiang, and Han Fuyu's chairman of Shandong Province had lost his black gauze hat again, and that group of people secretly opposed You Lie. When the news came, Chiang Kai-shek secretly discussed countermeasures with Li Zongren, Chen Bui, and He Yingqin.

"We are not afraid of the power of the army!" Chiang Kai-shek said: "It's just that this is Shandong, let them go on and quarrel, it's a bit of a hindrance, it's really fucking!" ”

"This matter is not difficult to solve," Chen Bui smiled faintly, pointed at He Yingqin and said, "Old He, it's up to you this time." ”

He Yingqin actually didn't admire Chiang Kai-shek in his heart: "What can I do?" Don't. ……”

"It's not that you want to lead the troops to fight," Chen Bui laughed: "If you move a knife or a gun, you have to look at the place!" He Lao, come here with your ears! ”

He Yingqin really leaned over, and Chiang Kai-shek saw the two of them talking to each other, whispering, and couldn't help laughing: "Bray, what are you selling?" ”

"It's not the elixir that came out of your gourd," Chen Bui said with a smile, "It's still your method last night." They waved their hands to He Yingqin, and when they saw that he was going out, Chen Bui said in a low voice with a straight face: "Old He, you have to be careful, although he has no backbone in the back of his head, I always feel that there is always something incomprehensible in his expression." ”

"Bray is right," Chiang Kai-shek didn't care: "The characteristics of Jingzhi are here, he is unconvinced, thinking that my surname Chiang has today's achievements, but when it comes to operation, he has a big coincidence, and he thinks that he is better than me!" But my wrists are much stronger than his, and he has to be obedient. Speaking of his advantages, firstly, the relationship with foreigners is not under me, secondly, he is eloquent and speaks quite methodically, I want to use this person, in case he dares to act boldly. ”

"What's wrong?"

Chiang Kai-shek glared: "You should know that I am not a fuel-efficient lamp!" ”

"It's good that Mr. understands," Chen Bui sighed: "As for talents, it is not easy to manipulate, and what about slaves, they can only talk and can't do things." After I see it, we still use more minions and less talents, which is reassuring! ”

"At present," Chiang Kai-shek mused, "when it comes to talents, the Communists are all great talents, and they really have a few hands, but I'm really a little afraid!" Speaking of minions, the results of the Anti-Japanese War are still unknown, and more talents need to be used, let's talk about it in the future. He Yingqin can't turn over my old Jiang's palm at the moment, he will work for me. ”

As Jiang expected, He Yingqin really ran between the armies for him, and mobilized all army commanders across the country to send telegrams to support Chiang's resistance against Japan. The telegram was published, and there was a large list of names, which made Deng Xihou and them breathe a sigh of cold air, and they did not dare to oppose Chiang Kai-shek anymore.

Seeing that everything was going well, Chiang Kai-shek ordered the local government to borrow military funds. Before leaving, he handed over the task of guarding the rear to a few cronies, and was beaming proudly and preparing to leave, when he suddenly frowned and remembered a troublesome matter.

It turned out that Chiang Kai-shek was worried about the words and deeds of Wang Jingwei, Chen Gongbo, Zhou Fohai and others, so he said: "We went to Xuzhou in Jiangsu, and although we could order Li Zongren, Pang Bingxun, Zhang Zizhong and the Communist Party to fight at the front, there were so many party members with ulterior motives in the rear. Moreover, these high-ranking officials have greater power in the pro-Japanese community, so isn't it a worry about the future? ”

Tang Shengzhi ran over and said, "President, what do you mean?" ……”

Chiang Kai-shek waved his hand: "You can think of a way for me to organize them, just say that the Fifth Theater Army should be a senior cadre of the front line, and set off with the army, as urgent as fighting a fire, please Wang Jingwei quickly organize it." He exclaimed, "Lest there be trouble in the rear." ”

Tang Shengzhi smiled: "The president is one step late!" ”

"What?" Chiang Kai-shek was shocked: "What did Wang Jingwei say? ”

"No," Tang Shengzhi arched his hand and said: "The president is really a blessing, you don't worry about Wang Jingwei and the others, but they have long since run away......

"That's really good," Chiang Kai-shek, his heart was full of joy: "But you just act as ordered, and ask Dai Li and others to keep an eye on me, so that they don't have time to drill, and save trouble!" ”

Tang Shengzhi fell to the ground, and Chiang Kai-shek walked away.

On the other hand, in order to assist Chiang Kai-shek in fighting devils, the representatives of the Chinese Communist Party held a meeting in Wuhan every day to discuss the strategic plan. Chiang Kai-shek rushed to participate, and after the two sides saluted, Chiang Kai-shek smiled and said: "...... Last year, on the second day of your army's victory at Pingxingguan, I said on the telegraph and radio station: If our party does not join forces with the Communist Party and you do not cooperate in the war of resistance, I am afraid that China will still be scattered. Although there were many rumors outside and deliberate slander, it did not affect China's War of Resistance. ”

"Well said, that's what happened!" The representative of the CCP said.

"Now I hope that the two sides will work together, in the spirit of dearity, and give priority to the overall situation of the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression, and everyone will discuss with each other to seek the truth, and whoever has a reasonable proposition will implement it, and there is no such thing as reluctance or accommodation." Chiang Kai-shek said.

"Good! ......" said the CCP representative again.

"In fact, our party is not in a position of complete command. I often tell others that the Communist Party cannot actually come to seize power and steal power, and if they have this ambition and do not wait for us to attack him, their own party members and people will naturally oppose him, so we are only afraid that the Communist Party will not be responsible, and we are not afraid that it will fight devils and steal merit! Chiang Kai-shek frothed at the mouth.

The CCP delegates applauded.

"Ladies and gentlemen," Chiang Kai-shek added: "Now that the battle in Linyi and other places is about to begin, I hope that you will work together to the outside world, and all rumors and slanders will not affect the enthusiasm of the Kuomintang and the Communist Party in the War of Resistance!" ”

Representatives of both sides responded with warm applause.

The representative of the Chinese Communist Party was about to speak, but Chiang Kai-shek had already continued: "I really admire the initiative of the Chinese Communist Party in the War of Resistance!" During the Northern Expedition, with the help of your party, most of the major battles we fought were also participated in by your party, and we won several major battles. ”

"Good!" The representative of the CCP said again.

Chiang Kai-shek raised his eyebrows: "It has been fully explained that your party is a good party regardless of previous suspicions, and I am very grateful for my surname Jiang!" Chiang Kai-shek stood upright, and the two spurs on the heels of his riding boots made a "ping" sound, and he bowed deeply to the two rows of Kuomintang and Communist Party representatives.

I saw a loud sound in the chairs, and all the delegates hurriedly stood up and saluted.

Chiang Kai-shek's voice trembled, and his eyes moistened: "Everyone, please accept my respect for Yucheng, and please convey my respect and gratitude to your party." ”

The CCP representatives were moved to silence, and Chiang Kai-shek took the opportunity to leave the scene, and as soon as he walked out of the gate, he couldn't help but laugh from the bottom of his heart.
