Chapter 25 Cloud Gathering (4)

Luo Ting's view of Chiang Kai-shek seemed to be confirmed in the following days. Chiang Di set out from the beginning. Before he set out, he published the "Letter to All Party Comrades" and "Advice to All Generals and Soldiers". In the former, Chiang Kai-shek criticized the Xishan Conference faction and refuted the view that the party believed that the ** and the Three Principles of the People had fundamental conflicts and the ** were eroding the Kuomintang. In the latter article, it reminded the army to strengthen unity, pay attention to military discipline, and warned officers to read more and enhance their personal cultivation.

"It's so shameless, so shameless. Mr. Yun, it seems that Chiang Kai-shek has no hope." In the Yunwuju teahouse, Ji Yuan threw the article on the table and cursed.

"Great, extremely brilliant! It seems that Chiang Kai-shek is not a martial artist." Li Yanguo seemed to deliberately sing a opposite tune with Ji Yuan, and praised Chiang Kai-shek very much. Ji Yuan glared at him angrily.

"Yan Guo is still far-reaching. From my perspective, Chiang Kai-shek had no choice." Wu Chaoshu still looked as if he was not anxious or slow.

"Old Yun, why did you make this conclusion?" Ji Yuan picked up the manuscript and looked carefully, but still couldn't find anything that could be explained like this.

Wu Chaoshu laughed and said, "Ayuan, you are an old article, but you are a little short of politics. Yanguo is better than you in this regard. You see, in Chiang Kai-shek's manuscript, he did not say that the Xishan Conference was illegal, but said that 'even if it was convened as legal'. He was a little sympathetic to their actions in his heart. In addition, he excused Zhang Jingjiang, 'Comrade Zhang Jingjiang tried to persuade him hard', haha, when did Zhang Jingjiang persuade him hard? He had persuaded him to persuade him to endure it, thinking that the time was not yet the time, and this cripple man was Chiang Kai-shek's brother, so he naturally had to think about Chiang Kai-shek."

Wu Chaoshu paused at this point, swallowed his saliva and said, "Look again, Chiang Kai-shek is currently in control of military power, but he has been promoted too fast. Tan Yankai, Zhu Peide, and Li Jishen have conflicts with him. Last time, in order to get Zhu Peide to fight Deng Benyin, Wang Jingwei allocated the weapons of Soviet aid to the Third Army. After Chiang Kai-shek heard about it on the front line, he was very angry and accused Zhu Peide of holding the thief and respecting himself. What's the use? His foundation is not solid now. His prestige within the party is not high enough, so he cannot turn against **. This article is just a comfort to **. He needs the Second National Congress to consolidate his position."

"Also, do you still remember the "Military Opinion" he proposed some time ago?" Wu Chaoshu asked, Li Yanguo nodded quickly. Ji Yuan nodded after thinking about it: "I said a lot about this opinion, there are only two cores, the abolition of the military commander system. Military Commander **. After the abolition of the military commander system, Tan Yankai, Zhu Peide and Li Jishen lost their real power. Chiang Kai-shek could use the name of the Standing Committee of the Military Commission to command the entire army; the military commander **. Wang Jingwei could not interfere in the affairs of the military, and Chiang Kai-shek alone had the final say."

Wu Chaoshu peeled off the cocoons and threads one by one to analyze Chiang Kai-shek's thoughts; Borotin was observing Chiang Kai-shek, and Wu Chaoshu was also observing Chiang Kai-shek and Wang Jingwei. His views on Chiang Kai-shek had already formed. He believed that this was a person with a strong desire for power. People like this could not be willing to be under Wang Jingwei, nor could they completely listen to Borotin. He and Wang Jingwei would have a conflict sooner or later. What he wanted to do was to trigger this conflict, and then use this fire to extinguish the ** and save the Kuomintang. He believed that this was their only hope.

When Wu Chaoshu passed by Wende Building, Mi looked at this fashionable U-shaped building. Looking at the crowds coming in and out here, a strong sense of hatred came from his heart. Let you be proud for a few days first. Only those who laughed to the end were the winners.

Chiang Kai-shek's two articles temporarily calmed down the criticism of him within ** and relieved the pressure from Zhou Enlai. Since he became the director of the Political Department of the Whampoa Military Academy, working on Chiang Kai-shek's ideological work has been an important part of his workplace.

Behind the two long and narrow red wooden windows on the second floor of Wende Building is Zhou Enlai's new home. This is a two-bedroom room with bathroom toilet. This house was distributed to him by the organization after he got married. Deng Yingchao came to Guangzhou in August. They didn't want to alarm others when they got married, but Zhang Shen's house refused. He paid for everyone to have a Western meal at Taiping Hall, and the meal became the wedding banquet for the red couple. After the marriage, Deng Yingchao served as a member of the Guangdong District Committee and Minister of the Women's Department. The opposite door was Li Fuchun's family, who was the director of the political department in the Second Army shortly after returning from France. His wife Cai Chang was the secretary of the Guangzhou Women's Movement Committee.

After getting married, Deng Yingchao actually came together for less than two months. At the end of April, Zhou En came to go to Dongjiang. He hurried back to Guangzhou to report on his work, and even left before entering the house. Deng Yingchao joked that he was Dayu controlling the flood, while Zhou Enlai said that this was a sacrifice for the revolution.

Li Fuchun and Cai Chang were similar in situations. The Second Army was stationed in Beijiang, with the military headquarters in Shaoguan, and Li Fuchun was stationed in Shaoguan for a long time. Therefore, these two families were women at home during this period. The two women walked very frequently, and they helped each other if there were any difficulties in life.

Li Fuchun sympathized with Zhou Enlai. His work in the Second Army was also difficult. Tan Yankai, an old fox, is a Tai Chi master. You can't figure out what his real thoughts are. Chiang Kai-shek would also give speeches and make suggestions. Tan Yankai did not make any decision. When encountering problems, he would ask the troops' division commanders and brigade commanders to discuss. Everyone decided together that the people below would do some small moves behind him. He knew that he was not angry, but instead looked for opportunities to make up for them. Li Fuchun had to focus on the main energy of the lower class and establish party representatives at all levels. However, in Li Fuchun's view, these party representatives were mostly in name only. Why did they have no one and not so many people who knew the revolution, so they had to use old officers. These people were in the name of party representatives but didn't know what to do.

"There are too few cadres, too few. Enlai, can you transfer a few from Huangpu to me?" Li Fuchun asked Zhou Enlai for help.

Zhou Enlai felt embarrassed. Chiang Kai-shek wanted to expand his army. At the beginning, he reorganized the first, second and third detachments of the Guangdong Army: "We are not enough, but the third phase is about to graduate. At that time, you make a request, and I will talk about it. I guess Principal Jiang will agree."

Cai Chang was joining forces with Deng Yingchao to make up the wool. She stretched out her wool with both hands, while Deng Yingchao was pulling the yarn. When he heard them talking about Chiang Kai-shek, he asked: "Is this Chiang Kai-shek a real revolution or a fake revolution? Is it really the Kaimo of China?"

"Yes, Eunlai, what are you to him

” Li Fuchun also asked.

Deng Yingchao looked at her husband with some concern. She knew that Chiang Kai-shek's husband was criticized in the party; but her husband rarely talked about his work with him, so she didn't know what was going on.

"This person... is hard to say. Sometimes I thought I could see it clearly, but sometimes I felt I didn't see it clearly," Zhou Enlai pondered for a moment and said slowly: "But the situation of the revolution is developing very quickly. If he is a fake revolution, it will be exposed sooner or later."

Having said that, hidden worries exist after all. Once Chiang Kai-shek was a fake revolution, the threat to the revolution with the military power he held was fatal.

Zhuang Jihua had no choice but to learn that he had been elected as a representative of the Second National Congress. He looked at Zheng Jiemin with some excitement. Zhuang Jihua had to look happy, but in fact he had no interest in this representative. The students in the school had graduated. These eighteen seeds were sprinkled in Beijing, Tianjin, Chenyang, Shanghai, Wuhan, Nanjing, and Japan respectively. He called this. He was preparing to recruit another group of students. These group of people did not intend to recruit from the military academy, but planned to recruit from the Sun Academy. Now they can only be put after the meeting.

Chiang Kai-shek was very dissatisfied with this election. Only Zhuang Jihua and Zeng Kuolian, the Chinese Democratic Party members of the entire First Army and the Whampoa Military Academy, were elected. Moreover, Zhuang Jihua was elected only by one vote, and he was almost certain that there was a conspiracy in it.

Chiang Kai-shek, who returned to Guangzhou, became a political star and a sensational figure, and the National Government awarded him a gold medal. Social groups from all parties invited him to be respectful to him, both the Kuomintang and the Soviet advisers, but Chiang Kai-shek proposed to Wang Jingwei to designate some officers to attend the Second Congress, which made Wang Jingwei feel embarrassed. The number of representatives in the Second Congress was decided by the Central Committee and could not be changed by individuals. For this reason, he discussed with Xu Qian, Yu Youren, Tan Yankai and others. Xu Qian and Yu Youren firmly opposed it, and Tan Yankai was ambiguous. Neither agreed nor opposed it. Borotin finally suggested that Chiang Kai-shek could be appointed some officers and instructors to attend the conference, but these people were not formal representatives and could only attend and had no right to vote or say.

Borotin personally went to Chiang Kai-shek's home to tell Chiang Kai-shek about this decision, which made Chiang Kai-shek very happy. First, he thought his opinions were valued; second, when he mentioned his opinions, Borotin came in person to explain his importance. For this reason, he took out the treasured vodka to share with Borotin. This bottle of vodka was given to him by the Soviet leader when he visited the Soviet Union. He had never drunk it. However, Chiang Kai-shek had a very shallow alcohol, so he only poured a little for himself. Borotin was even more excited. His attitude towards Chiang Kai-shek proved that his judgment of Chiang Kai-shek was correct a few days ago, and Chiang Kai-shek was just trying to make a move. The two were very interested and drank and chatted in the living room. Chen Jieru took Chiang Wei-kuo upstairs to rest early.

"General Advisor, the next step is to make the Northern Expedition to realize the Prime Minister's long-term wish." Chiang Kai-shek drank some wine and his face flushed.

"A plan was made for General Galen, but his prerequisite was to have a stable and consolidated Guangdong. Now this condition is met." Borotin was extremely drunk. He did not lose his mouth like Chiang Kai-shek, but poured his mouth into his mouth.

"General, you don't look like a general, but you look like a weak scholar..." Borotin said to Chiang Kai-shek with a smile on his words.

"Haha, I can't compare with you. You Russians are like growing up in wine." Chiang Kai-shek laughed. Maybe it was the cold snow in Siberia, and everyone in Russia likes wine. It's a huge amount of it, and it's a real huge amount.

"Who," Borotin drank happily, and a gurgling sound came from his throat: "There is a tradition in the Russian army that only generals who can drink can fight. General, you don't drink, so you won't be a general of the Russian army."

Chiang Kai-shek laughed, and he blinked his eyes and asked deliberately: "Among the Russians, General Kutuzov can't drink, he is a Russian general."

"No, no," Borotin shook his head, "You don't know Russia. Kutuzov is the commander-in-chief, not the general."

"Is that true?" Chiang Kai-shek asked slightly sarcasticly.

"Of course." Borotin replied affirmatively.

The two laughed loudly in the same voice.

With less laughter, Chiang Kai-shek stood up excitedly. Looking at the north, it seemed as if he saw his orthodox commander of thousands of troops heading north. He waved his hand to the north and said, "If the fire of revolution is burning throughout China, if you want to advance the revolution, you must fight the north. If war starts this year, we will be able to conquer Wuhan next year."

"You are right. Revolution cannot always stay in Guangdong. If the revolution is suffocated, the Northern Expedition is the only way out." Borotin stood up and walked to Chiang Kai-shek: "But before this we have to do a few more things."

Chiang Kai-shek turned to look at Borotin, who continued: "Revolution is not simply military action, but more about political and economic change; when revolutionary forces develop northward from Guangzhou, they can bring political and economic reform plans to all places, and revolutionary forces will awaken the peasants and workers along the way. Because the revolutionary wind is coming rapidly, the bourgeoisie will no longer kill the change as before. In this way, it can lead to the progress of agrarian reform and ensure the success of the revolution. Therefore, we must first formulate an economic plan and a political plan; the economic plan must consider the distribution method of social wealth, the political plan includes how to strengthen our strength, transform the old army, etc. After these two plans are completed, we can go north to fight."

Chiang Kai-shek showed a meditative look: "How much time does it take to formulate these two plans?"

"It will only take half a year, but it will take three or four months in a short time." Borotin was also very excited. At this time, he forgot the dispute in Moscow and the challenges from Ji Jiashan. What he thought of was the glory of creating a country.

Chiang Kai-shek nodded with satisfaction. He thought that he would be able to fight the Central Plains in half a year, and he couldn't help but feel full of enthusiasm.
