Section 32 Retain (3)

When Zhuang Jihua arrived at Chiang Kai-shek's villa, Zhang Jingjiang and Chen Guofu were visiting the villa. Zhang Jingjiang was still the same, wearing a long gown and sat in a wheelchair a little lazy. When he saw Zhuang Jihua, he greeted him like his master.

"Cultural Revolution, let me introduce you to this. This is Guofu, Lifu's brother, who has always worked in Shanghai; Guofu, he is the proud disciple of Zhuang Jihuazhuang Cultural Revolution and Jieshi. Sit down and talk." Zhang Jingjiang introduced the two with a smile in his eyes.

When Zhuang Jihua saw that Chen Guofu's face was vaguely visible to Lifu, his eyes were shrewd. Unlike Chen Lifu, he thought more elegantly and did not show his sharpness like his younger brother.

Zhuang Jihua sat down in response. This action made Chen Guofu feel that he was extraordinary. He has been in Guangzhou for a few days. Chen Guofu has also seen military academy students come to see Chiang Kai-shek. He has never seen anyone sitting down casually. He always stood there in a regular manner. Zhuang Jihua's sitting down was very skillful. He never thought that Chiang Kai-shek had not spoken yet.

"Cultural Revolution, why did you think of me coming here?" Chiang Kai-shek was very busy recently. Wang Jingwei announced his leave and went to Hong Kong to recuperate. He wanted to prepare for the Second Plenary Session of the 19th CPC Central Committee, and to make some personnel adjustments at the meeting and pass an important proposal.

Zhuang Jihua looked at Zhang Jingjiang and Chen Guofu and felt uncomfortable. Zhang Jingjiang smiled when he saw this and said, "Why is there something inconvenient to say? Do you want Guofu and I to leave?"

Zhuang Jihua was a little embarrassed, and Chiang Kai-shek said softly: "There are all people here, just say it." Zhuang Jihua hesitated for a moment before speaking: "Students... are here to ask for leave."

"Ask for leave?" Chiang Kai-shek was a little surprised. He thought Zhuang Jihua was here to talk about his partner with Wang Boling, but he didn't expect that Zhuang Jihua was here to ask for leave.

"Well, I've been out for a few years, and the student wants to go home to see his adoptive father and mother." Zhuang Jihua said according to the pre-conceived statement that Chiang Kai-shek was very particular about filial piety. This statement may be passed.

Chiang Kai-shek's face darkened. He did not receive the leave request from Zhuang Jihua. Zhuang Jihua held the leave request in awkward manner, unable to move forward and retreat; Chiang Kai-shek's face was as deep as water, staring at Zhuang Jihua with his eyes, and the air around him gradually became solemn.

"This is not your real reason. Tell me your true thoughts, I don't want to hear lies." Chiang Kai-shek said in a deep voice. He was a little angry and sad. Jiang Xianyun and Chen Geng left without hesitation. He could still accept it. After all, those are all members of the **, but Zhuang Jihua is different. He is a member of the Kuomintang. He values ​​him so much and uses him. But now he is leaving and will not follow him.

"The student just wants to go home and have no other intentions." Zhuang Jihua dared not express his true thoughts.

"Nonsense!" Chiang Kai-shek stood up angrily.

"Principal." Zhuang Jihua was interrupted by Chiang Kai-shek as soon as he spoke.

"Don't call me principal! I don't have a student like you!" Chiang Kai-shek waved his hand angrily: "Jiang Wushan and the others are gone, but they are **. But you are our Kuomintang member, why do you want to leave? You think I drove them away, but I gave them a chance. Zheng Dongguo, Song Xilian, Li Mo'an and others stayed, and they chose to follow me, but what about you? You are a Kuomintang member, but you want to follow them. Do you still have me as the principal in your eyes? Are there any prime ministers?"

Despite his anger, Chiang Kai-shek still gave Zhuang Jihua a face. The famous national curse had no words. Zhang Jingjiang looked at Zhuang Jihua thoughtfully, and he reached out to take the leave request from Zhuang Jihua.

"Principal. Zheng Dongguo and Chen Cheng also asked for leave before. Didn't the principal both allow it?" Zhuang Jihua quickly pulled two reference objects. Zheng Dongguo took leave home to visit relatives after the first Eastern Expedition, and Chen Cheng asked for leave after the suppression of the rebellion.

"Is that different?" Chiang Kai-shek asked back, and Zhuang Jihua was speechless. They were really going home to visit relatives, but they never returned.

"You don't want to say it, I'll say it for you." Chiang Kai-shek saw Zhuang Jihua not answering: "Look at me, I drove away **, and thought I wanted to share it completely. You don't want to get stuck in the middle and make things difficult for you, so you want to leave."

Chiang Kai-shek told Zhuang Jihua's intention in one sentence: "But have you ever thought about it? The development of ** is so rapid. What's more important is that they are developing within our party and will not be suppressed. In the future, although we have the sign of the Kuomintang, the inside is full of **. Look at the first division, two regiments, from top to bottom. In this way, after two years, the first army will probably not be the first army of our Kuomintang. "Look at the party departments in various places, except Guangdong, there are a few other places in other places. These are facts, why don't you think about it?"

"Cultural Revolution, I want to talk about you too," Zhang Jingjiang saw that Chiang Kai-shek became more and more anxious and worried that he would make an irrational decision in anger, so he persuaded him: "Don't you also advocate restriction and implementation of non-party cooperation? Isn't what Jieshi does the same as your land claims?"

Zhuang Jihua didn't say anything, and Zhang Jingjiang said again: "Jieshi has not completely broken down with **. I just told him that Chen Duxiu can cooperate. The alliance with Russia and the Communist Party was proposed by the Prime Minister. Of course, we must follow the Prime Minister's instructions. You are leaving now. It seems that you are free from right and wrong, but are you at ease? Not to mention that you have let down the Prime Minister's hope and Jieshi's respect, how can you face your friends and classmates in the future?"

Zhang Jingjiang's words made Zhuang Jihua feel even heavier, but what can I do if I stay?

"Although it was the first time you and I met, I heard from the principal and Lifu talk about you," although Chen Guofu was not a member of the military academy, but he was responsible for recruiting and purchasing supplies for the military academy in Shanghai. He could be considered half a member of the military academy. Therefore, he also called Chiang Kai-shek as the principal: "Our Kuomintang has been in charge for more than ten years, and now there is finally a little hope. It is when everyone works together to achieve a complete conclusion. Tell me about the situation at home, and I have some friends in Hangzhou, Shanghai. I will ask them to go to your house to see what Lingzun Lingtang requires. I will definitely do it."

Chen Guofu wanted to calm down the situation and let both sides have a step. Chiang Kai-shek became angry and thought about it and said, "You can't go home now when the army is reorganized. But filial piety is also the right place. Although they are your adoptive parents, they should be filial." As he said that, he wrote a note and handed it to Zhuang Jihua: "You send this money to your family first to improve their lives."

Zhuang Jihua took it and saw that Chiang Kai-shek had granted him five hundred yuan. Now he was not going to take it or not. Zhang Jingjiang seemed to know his embarrassment and said, "Take it, the revolutionary needs to take care of the family. ** said that revolutionaries must have the determination to destroy their families. I don't agree with this, and they don't even want their family. What other human beings do you save?"

"Cultural Revolution, we were just talking about the candidate for the chairman of the National Government. I want to hear your opinion." Chen Guofu picked up the topic they talked about before Zhuang Jihua came in again, which was considered to have ended the resignation. Zhuang Jihua could no longer talk about resignation. He just didn't know what was right.

"Yes, you can tell me too." Zhang Jingjiang also said.

"Of course, the principal serves as the chairman." Zhuang Jihua said without thinking.

Chen Guofu was a little disappointed and felt that Zhuang Jihua's words were a bit inconsistent. Chiang Kai-shek was not suitable for serving as the chairman of the National Government now. After Chiang Kai-shek launched the Zhongshan ship, if he took over the position of chairman of the National Government, he would inevitably give him a handle, saying that he was for personal power rather than a conspiracy he insisted on.

"If Jieshi served as the chairman of the National Government, there would inevitably be rumors outside the country. Jieshi was unable to argue at that time. What I mean was Jieshi or not to hold this position for the time being and wait until the Northern Expedition was completed before taking over." Zhang Jingjiang looked at Zhuang Jihua calmly.

Zhuang Jihua realized that the words were wrong just now. He thought for a while and said, "Yes. The younger generation said it wrong. After the Zhongshan ship, although ** and the Soviet Union continued to cooperate with our party, they were also suspicious. The suspicion between the two parties had already arisen, and misunderstandings would inevitably arise in the future. Therefore, the students thought that the first thing to do now is to bridge the two parties and reunite. Therefore, the personnel arrangements at the Second Plenary Session of the Central Committee were necessary to give them a reassurance. If this goal is achieved, there is only one person in the party."

"Oh, who is this person?" Zhang Jingjiang was a little anxious. When they talked about a few people just now, they felt that it was inappropriate. Chiang Kai-shek meant to let Zhang Jingjiang be the party chairman and Tan Yankai be the chairman of the National Government. Of course, Zhang Jingjiang knew Chiang Kai-shek's purpose, but he did not think it was a good idea. First of all, he did not want to do it. Secondly, he felt that Tan Yankai was too sleek and had no high prestige within the party; but he could not propose a candidate.

"Madam Sun, Ms. Soong Ching Ling." Zhuang Jihua gently proposed the candidate in his heart. Only this person could bridge the differences between the two parties and show his determination to adhere to the three major policies to the inside and outside the party.

Chiang Kai-shek and the other two looked at each other, with Soong Ching Ling as chairman, and Zhuang Jihua's choice was beyond the expectations of the three. But after careful consideration, it was indeed a skilled player. Neither Zhang Jingjiang nor Tan Yankai's talent could convince the public, and others could question it, but Soong Ching Ling was different. He was Sun Yat-sen's widow. The ** side would not object, nor the Soviet side would not object, nor the majority of the Kuomintang could not object.

But is this person in line with Chiang Kai-shek's interests? Zhang Jingjiang immediately thought that Chiang Kai-shek asked him and Tan Yankai to serve as the chairman of the party and government respectively, so that they could control the party and administrative power for him; and Soong Ching Ling would not listen to Chiang Kai-shek, so although Soong Ching Ling was an acceptable candidate for both sides, if she wanted to be elected, she had to convince Chiang Kai-shek to accept it.

"Although Mrs. Sun is the right candidate, what is the difference between Mrs. Sun's election and Wang Jingwei's election?" Chen Guofu asked with a frown.

"Of course," Zhuang Jihua immediately explained: "Mrs. Sun has no ambitions, Wang Jingwei has it. Secondly, you can also add insurance."

"Insurance? How to add it?" Zhang Jingjiang asked.

"If there is a chairman, there should be a vice chairman. When the chairman is sick or unable to take matters for some reason, the vice chairman will take over the position of chairman. This is equivalent to the vice president of the United States. The vice president of the United States has almost no power, but our vice chairman can arrange some powers to transfer part of the power of the chairman to the vice chairman. For example, disputes between the two parties can be mediated by the chairman, some affairs within the party can be handled by the vice chairman, and the candidates for ministers of each department must also be made. The government can leave one or two ministerial positions for ** to show unity. This is only a student's suggestion, and whether to adopt it should be considered by the principal."

This is another trick. Chiang Kai-shek could arrange for Zhang Jingjiang to be the vice chairman. Although he could not fully control the party's affairs, he could also partially manipulate it.

Although Zhuang Jihua said that, he was not confident that Chiang Kai-shek would agree, so after he finished speaking, he stood up and said goodbye. Before leaving, he just told him to establish a good relationship with Wang Bailing in the army and put more effort into training. Wang Bailing's training method is old-style, and he didn't know much about the new-style training. The first division was handed over to Wang Bailing in name, but I actually gave it to you. Zhuang Jihua nodded and said yes, and he naturally knew that Chiang Kai-shek was telling him not to care about other things in the division. This also had a meaning and promised him that he would take over as the commander of the first division in the future.

Zhang Jingjiang looked at Zhuang Jihua's departure and said with appreciation: "The Cultural Revolution is such a genius. You and I have been thinking about it for so long, but the candidates that have not been solved can be come up with such a wonderful idea in less than three minutes."

"It is true to see it, and it is indeed worthy of its reputation." Chen Guofu smiled and said, "No wonder Yi Lifu's pride is so admirable to him."

"He! He just sways and lacks firm beliefs." Chiang Kai-shek was a little disappointed: "Just say it's right. Sun Xuehui knew to fight with them, but he was good at making good friends with them on the surface and took all his tricks. Landlords join the peasant association and protect private property. These methods make the slaughter and difficult to deal with, but they can't object."

"Then why..." Chen Guofu asked in confusion.

"He does not agree with the complete break with the ** and especially opposes the use of force." Chiang Kai-shek said: "He means to pass the law and slowly limit the ** behavior, but these take a long time, and what is missing is time. Look, I was angry just now, and I forgot to tell him something."

"What's the matter?" Zhang Jingjiang asked.

"Tan Yankai asked me to be a matchmaker and wanted to tell his daughter Tan Xiang to the Cultural Revolution." Chiang Kai-shek said with a wry smile: "This is really hard to deal with."

"What's wrong with this?" Chen Guofu was a little dissatisfied.

"I'm afraid it's okay a few months ago, but it's hard now. At that time, he was still alone. Recently, I heard that he had a girlfriend, a student from a female normal school, which is difficult to deal with."
