Section 31 Compromise (2)
As soon as Wendelou rescued Chen Yannian, he rushed to Ji Jiashan's villa. The soldiers outside the villa tried to stop him from entering the villa. ** and Feng Jupo, who were living nearby, also came. ** is the acting propaganda minister and Feng Jupo is the secretary of the Kuomintang Workers' Department. The two of them illuminated the certificates of the National Government, and then they were able to pass.
In Ji Jiashan's villa, he also had his translator Zhang Tailei. Chen Yannian introduced Ji Jiashan in detail what he currently has. Just when he introduced the situation, Zhou Enlai also arrived, and the situation he has mastered is more detailed.
After listening to the introductions of the two, Zhang Tailei immediately shouted: "This is betrayal! It is a rebellion! We must fight back immediately!"
"It's certain to fight back, but what should we do now?" Chen Yannian is not so excited now. He has been thinking about this question from last night to now.
"We can secretly concentrate the Central Committee members in Zhaoqing, rely on the Ye Ting delegation stationed there, and then convene the Central Committee to order the attack on Chiang Kai-shek in the name of the Central Committee." ** proposed his plan with a serious expression.
"Comrade Enlai, you know the situation of the first army best. How much do you think our party has left in the first army?" Chen Yannian asked.
"Although the party representatives at all levels are detained, there are two military officers at all levels in the first division who are members of our party or Communist Youth League. These two regiments belong to our party. The influence of other troops is still there and cannot be eliminated in a short period of time." With the background of the two regiments, Zhou Enlai was very confident: "But we must fight back. Comrade Tai Lei is right. This is a rebellion, a betrayal of the revolution, and it is intolerable."
"Oh, there's something like this." This was an unexpected surprise. Everyone present showed surprises. ** excitedly stroked in the air with their hands: "That's even more certain. We can recommend Wang Jingwei as the leader. With his call, Li Jishen and Li Zongren from Guangxi could turn to us. As long as these two people turned to us, Tan Yankai and Zhu Peide would stand on our side. In this way, the pacification of Chiang Kai-shek would be 80% sure."
"Start another worker strike. Organize 50,000 provincial and Hong Kong strike workers and peasant association members to join the army." Chen Yannian added that everyone is now focusing on Ji Jiashan. As long as Ji Jiashan is determined, this strategy will be implemented immediately.
Ji Jiashan hesitated. When he first discovered that the army surrounded his residence, he was very angry, but now he hesitated again. The counterattack meant a complete break with Chiang Kai-shek. First of all, this violated Moscow's instructions. Bubnov once conveyed to him that he wanted to unite Chiang Kai-shek and cooperate with him to the end. This opinion cannot be Bubnov. It must be Stalin. At the critical moment of the debate between Stalin and Zinoviev of the Communist International. If he completely broke with Chiang Kai-shek at this time, it means that the failure of the Soviet Union's China policy in the early stage, it cannot be borne by Stalin. Ji Jiashan must be borne by him. Secondly, when he drove away Borotin, he made a promise to the Communist International. Now, he will break with the left-wing leaders recognized by the Communist International in just a few months. He cannot bear this political responsibility.
"We can't fight back. We should negotiate with him and hear what he wants?" Ji Jiashan finally spoke up in anticipational eyes, but as soon as he said this, the four faces that were still full of hope were immediately turned into disappointment.
"Why can't you fight back?" ** slapped the table and looked at Ji Jiashan angrily.
"Chang Kai-shek is a man with a bad temper. This is probably because he was impulsive. He has not completely slid to one side and can still be saved." Ji Jiashan explained.
Zhou Enlai felt very ridiculous. Chiang Kai-shek had clearly raised the banner of counter-revolution and wanted to oppose the Soviet Union and Russia's opposition to **, but the Soviet advisers were defending him.
"Guest Ji, Chiang Kai-shek is now the most dangerous figure in the new year. He is different from the Xishan Conference faction. He controls the army. If he does not destroy him firmly, he may swing his sword again at any time." Zhou Enlai reminded.
"Enlai and Runzhi are right. We should and must fight back." Ji Jiashan's attitude surprised and annoyed Chen Yannian. He blushed and said loudly: "We are still revolutionaries who don't even fight back such counter-revolutionary behavior!"
"The Chinese Revolution is the National Revolution at this stage and is led by the Kuomintang. Comrade Stalin and the Communist International have given instructions on this. Chiang Kai-shek is the left-wing leader of the Kuomintang recognized by the Communist International. He was recently elected as honorary chairman at the Communist International Conference. We should unite him. If he is wrong, we can criticize him. No matter what, I still think that Chiang Kai-shek can unite. Comrade Yannian, don't he have already revoked the surround of Wendelou?" Ji Jiashan knew that this decision was difficult to accept by Comrade **, so he had to carry out the signs of Communist International and Stalin to strengthen his power.
"At that time, we were blinded by him," Zhou En said: "When he asked me for the second Eastern Expedition, this symptoms appeared when he asked me for the list of places we organized, but it did not attract our attention. Then he deliberately provoked the Northern Expedition, intending to attack our party. These are all symptoms of his reversal."
At this moment, the guard came in and reported that the martial law was lifted outside, the army was evacuating, and the guard's weapons had been returned. Ji Jiashan was encouraged: "Look, he has realized his mistake. If we educate and make some concessions, we can save him."
"I don't agree with your judgment. Chiang Kai-shek is playing tricks and trying to deceive us!" Chen Yannian also stood up and said loudly.
"Comrade Bubrov is in Guangzhou, we can ask him for instructions." Ji Jiashan could not convince Chen Yannian and the others had to hand over the conflict. Bubrov's status in the party is much higher than that of him, so he will make the decision. Ji Jiashan's responsibility is much smaller.
The removal of the advisory group and the return of the weapons of the guards was the result of Tan Yankai and Zhu Peide coming to negotiate. After they left Wang's mansion, they went directly to the Mint to meet Chiang Kai-shek.
When he saw Chiang Kai-shek, Tan Yankai said in an old tone: "The Prime Minister has only been dead for a year. He left a will to join Russia and Hong Kong to help farmers and workers. The bones are not cold yet, so you have to change his decisions. Are you worthy of the Prime Minister?"
"Zhongzheng dares not. There is indeed a hidden secret in this matter, so I have to make a move." Chiang Kai-shek repeated the situation of the abnormal mobilization of the Zhongshan ship to the two.
After Chiang Kai-shek finished speaking, Tan Yankai and Zhu Peide exchanged glances with each other, and Zhu Peide asked: "Then why surrounded the consultant's base?"
"There is someone instructing Li Zhilong. This person is Ji Jiashan." Chiang Kai-shek replied, and then said angrily: "Chairman Wang should remove Ji Jiashan from his post, ask the Soviet Union to recall Ji Jiashan, and invite Borotin and Gallon consultants back."
"No matter what, you should not surround the advisory group, and you should not disarm the guards." After Ji Jiashan reported what he wanted, Tan Yankai felt confident and made further requests.
"I just wanted to be in case." Chiang Kai-shek defended that Zhuang Jihua, Chen Lifu, and Feng Gui did not show up at this time. After Chiang Kai-shek determined the strategy, Feng Gui found an excuse to go out, and Zhuang Jihua did not sleep. He and Chen Lifu together with him settled various information feedback from the intelligence department.
"Lifu, I made a mistake and shouldn't have introduced Feng Gui to the principal." Zhuang Jihua sighed and said to Chen Lifu.
"Why?" Chen Lifu was a little strange. In his opinion, Feng Guizu was resourceful, and soon after he arrived, he had several clever ideas for Chiang Kai-shek.
Zhuang Jihua shook his head and said, "He has caused great harm to the principal this time. This time the principal will either make a fortune or will never be repaid. He is betting on the principal."
After thinking about it, Chen Lifu felt that Zhuang Jihua was right. Chiang Kai-shek made up his mind to make Feng Gui's judgment mainly. Now it can be said that Feng Gui's judgment was wrong. But if he had done it intentionally, Chen Lifu's back sweat broke out.
Zhuang Jihua glanced at Chen Lifu: "Lifu, I have an idea. I need your support."
"Tell me." Chen Lifu seemed to know what he wanted to do.
"Supervise Feng Gui and see who he has seen and said something." Zhuang Jihua said coldly: "If there is any result, report it to the principal. Don't deal with it. Don't do anything else, at least let the principal know in his heart."
"Okay, I'll do this." Chen Lifu nodded and agreed.
Although the army had not evacuated Guangzhou City in the afternoon, all martial law was cancelled everywhere, and all weapons from the Soviet consultant guards and workers' pickets were returned. The tension in the city was greatly relaxed. It was in this situation that Bublov met Chiang Kai-shek.
Bubrov received the report in the morning. Before noon, he convened a joint meeting of advisory groups and delegations. Wang Jingwei sent Chen Gongbo and Chen Yannian from the ** side to attend the meeting. After comprehensively combining the situation in all aspects, Bubrov had a basic judgment in his mind, but before the final decision, he had to talk to Chiang Kai-shek in person.
Chiang Kai-shek still respected Bubrov so much. When he heard that he had come, he made an exception to greet him in front of the gate. As soon as Bubrov's car stopped, Chiang Kai-shek stepped forward and opened the car door for him with his own hands. After getting off the car, Bubrov's first words were: "General Jiang, I want to know if you are right to people or to Russia?"
"To the person." Chiang Kai-shek was happy and knew there was a door. Throughout the morning, there were people coming in the mints. Everyone clearly stated that they did not agree with the Communist Party and did not support the act of undermining the three major policies, which made Chiang Kai-shek more determined to Zhuang Jihua.
"I am a believer of the Prime Minister and support the three major policies, but I cannot accept Consultant Ji. In the past, when Borotin and Gallon were there, we cooperated well. I don't know why your country recalled him. I ask you to report to the Third International and ask Consultant Bao and Gallon to come back and let Ji Jiashan and Luo Jiajuefu go back." Chiang Kai-shek then complained, and then he reviewed Ji Jiashan's absurd claims in the Northern Expedition. He had different opinions. Ji Jiashan suppressed himself in the distribution of Su aid supplies, and now it has developed to the point where he colluded with Li Zhilong to prepare to kidnap him.
Bubrov looked at Chiang Kai-shek with excitement and felt more confident. When Chiang Kai-shek stopped, he said: "It seems that Comrade Ji Jiashan cannot stay in China anymore. General Jiang, I can agree to your request and suggest that the Communist International recall Ji Jiashan, Luo Jiajuefu and others, so that Borotin and Comrade Jialun will return to Guangzhou."
Chiang Kai-shek was overjoyed. He knew he was going to win. When he was excited, his voice was a little suffocated: "Comrade Bu, it would be great if this could be done. I know that I am an impulsive person and sometimes without any consequences, but I am a revolutionary and a student of the Prime Minister..."
Bubrov was very satisfied with Chiang Kai-shek's attitude. After this period of investigation, he learned about the situation in Guangdong. In his opinion, the main reason for Chiang Kai-shek's overreaction was that the working methods of the Soviet consultants were problematic, simple and crude, and did not consider the personal feelings of the Chinese generals. It also seriously violated the instructions of the Communist International that Soviet consultants should not interfere too much in the internal affairs of the National Government, nor should they directly hold specific leadership positions. More importantly, Chiang Kai-shek was an important weapon for Stalin to deal with Zinoviev, and Stalin would not agree to abandon this weapon now. Therefore, as an important assistant to Stalin, Bubrov certainly would not allow China to have adverse consequences for Stalin.
Bubrov's decision made Wang Jingwei very angry. After Tan Yankai and Zhu Peide returned, Wang Jingwei was determined to use force to suppress the rebellion. He persuaded Tan Yankai and Zhu Peide. Tan Yankai was also preparing to go to Shaoguan to dispatch troops. After hesitation, Zhu Peide also decided to listen to Wang Jingwei and he was also preparing to return to the army. But at this time, news that Bubrov and Chiang Kai-shek reached an agreement came, so everything was over.
After watching Bubrov's car leave, Chiang Kai-shek felt extremely tired. He has been in a high position for the past two days. The strength comparison is not as Feng Gui expected. Chiang Kai-shek knew that he was strong and weak. He had a tense relationship with Li Jishen, the second largest power in Guangdong. Li Zongren of Guangxi had a close relationship with Li Jishen. The combined strength of these two people was already more than that of the first army. What's more, Tan Yankai of the Second Army and Zhu Peide of the Third Army had accumulated a lot of conflicts with him in the distribution of military expenditure and materials provided by Soviet aid. If Wang Jingwei came forward and cooperated again, Chiang Kai-shek would not dare to think about the consequences.
Gambling is completely gambling, and now he is about to win. Chiang Kai-shek slowly returned to the room. He sat there for a while before waved his hand to his subordinates around him and said, "Look at what I do, what should I do, what should I do, the matter is not completely over yet."
