Chen Gongbo sat down and looked at Chiang Kai-shek again. After a moment of calming down, Chiang Kai-shek suddenly asked: "Gongbo, what do you think of Wang Jingwei returning to China?"

Chen Gongbo looked surprised. He was surprised by Chiang Kai-shek's words. To be honest, his relationship with Wang Jingwei was quite small. Since returning to China, Liao Zhongkai was the first to be Wang Jingwei. Both of them appreciated him very much. The former led him into Guangzhou politics, while the latter boldly promoted him to use him, making him at a high position at a young age. He was grateful to both of them. Therefore, after Wang Jingwei left, he felt very confused for a while and almost planned to resign. However, Chiang Kai-shek was still using him. It was just that he did not like the military popularity of Chiang Kai-shek, and he could not deviate from Wang Jingwei in terms of love.

"That's good. If you cooperate with Mr. Wang, the National Revolution will surely be successful." Chen Gongbo said cautiously. He has always regarded himself very high and has few friends. After the Northern Expedition, his contact with Guangzhou was interrupted. Therefore, he is not very clear about the situation in Guangzhou. He just heard some statements: "Mr. Wang has a high prestige inside and outside the party. His ability to come back will be of great help to the unity of our party."

After thinking for a moment, Chiang Kai-shek slowly said: "It is impossible for people to have no heads, but it is not possible for too many heads; the same is true for a party. He can only have one leader, not two leaders. If Mr. Wang must come back, I can make a wise man."

Chen Gongbo was shocked. He did not expect that Chiang Kai-shek had such a deep prejudice against Wang Jingwei and the two had such a big disagreement: "Commander-in-Chief, must not. Commander-in-Chief shoulders the heavy responsibility of the Northern Expedition. Besides, in the process of pacifying Dongjiang and southern Guangdong, did not Mr. Wang and Commander-in-Chief cooperate well?"

"Public blog, you don't know how many tricks Wang Jingwei did behind his back. Fortunately, I was careful to avoid it..., forget about this, you should tell me about the situation in Wuhan." Chiang Kai-shek originally wanted to mention the Zhongshan ship. But then he thought, the matter of the Zhongshan ship has not been clear yet. Does Wang Jingwei really have that kind of plan? Did Ji Jiashan really join forces with him? He has not found conclusive evidence, and he can't explain it clearly.

Although he didn't want to say it, Chen Gongbo suddenly got into a thorn: "Commander-in-Chief, I always think that the best combination of our party after the Prime Minister is that you are in charge of military affairs, and Mr. Wang presided over the party and government. The cooperation between you two will be of great help to the Chinese revolution and will also make our party more united. Our party is now in a very chaotic situation, so we must not be in chaos."

Chiang Kai-shek looked at Chen Gongbo and felt very disappointed. Chen Gongbo admired him very much. Even if he knew that his relationship with Wang Jingwei was not ordinary, he could use him. Unexpectedly... Chiang Kai-shek said with a calm face: "Forget it, forget it. I won't talk about these things." Then he stood up and said: "You go back first, we will talk about anything tomorrow."

Chen Gongbo stood up blankly. He knew that his words just now disappointed Chiang Kai-shek. Chiang Kai-shek told him so much that he hoped he could contact Guangzhou and spread the words so that Guangzhou could understand his determination so that he could be more cautious when making decisions. The situation would not be immediately out of Chiang Kai-shek's control.

After Chen Gongbo left, Chiang Kai-shek was a little upset. Wang Jingwei's influence was so great that he estimated. He thought that with Nanchang's military achievements, at least the party comrades would realize that the current situation needed him more and some restraint of Ying Wang, but Chen Gongbo's words made him realize that the military achievements were not effective in politics at all. How to open up the current situation? Chiang Kai-shek fell into deep thought.

After Deng Yanda came out, he did not go back directly but went to Tinida's residence. Tinida was a political consultant at the General Command, but he did not go to Jiangxi with Chiang Kai-shek during this period but assisted Deng Yanda in Wuchang to siege the city.

Deng Yanda told Tinida that Chiang Kai-shek's words and asked: "Mr. Consultant, do you think it is appropriate to move the capital to Wuhan now?"

After thinking about it, Tinida said: "Whether the capital is suitable or not depends on the needs of the situation. General Jiang's purpose is to use the central government to suppress Tang Shengzhi and welcome Wang to reinstate his post. I support one purpose. Tang Shengzhi is not a real revolutionary. Whoever pays the land at a higher price will sell himself to whom. A city like Wuhan with an important strategic position cannot be handed over to him, nor should it be handed over to him. From this point of view, I support the capital to Wuhan. However, I don't comment on the latter. Mr. Wang Jingwei is the leader of the party, and General Jiang is also the leader of the party. I support the cooperation between them. However, if General Jiang thinks it is inappropriate, Mr. Wang can not come back for the time being."

Tinida said it very tactfully. The former is his personal opinion. The latter is the instruction given to them by Moscow, but he expressed it as a personal opinion. The truth is that he was also worried that Chiang Kai-shek would turn right. At present, Chiang Kai-shek had too much power. Once he turned right, the blow to the Chinese revolution would be fatal.

Deng Yanda heard it and frowned and asked with dissatisfaction: "Is this your personal opinion?"

"Yes." Tinida said: "I suggest you have a good talk with Comrade Borotin after you go to Guangzhou."

Deng Yanda looked at Tinida's eyes and repeatedly pondered the meaning of his words, feeling that something was strange. Borotin had any other ideas. He came to Tinida and felt that this trip in Guangzhou would not be so smooth. He wanted to find some wind from him, but he didn't expect the wind to come out. But the wind blew from Moscow to Siberia, and from Siberia across the North China Plain, turning around and turning, and I couldn't figure out whether it was true or false.

The next day, Deng Yanda flew to Guangzhou with a lot of questions.

When Deng Yanda's plane flew in the sky, Chiang Kai-shek held a military and political conference in Wuchang to discuss the next combat plan. At this moment, he no longer compromised Tang Shengzhi.

The attendees of the meeting included all the officials from Wuhan. At the beginning of the meeting, Tang Shengzhi first raised the issue of the Hubei Provincial Chairmanship Area.

"Wuchang is restored, and the entire Hubei territory is clear, and there is someone to be responsible for both politics, economy and administration. The Hubei government team should be decided as soon as possible, and we will continue the Northern Expedition."

"What suggestions do General Meng Xiao have?" Chiang Kai-shek asked with a smile.

"This is my suggestion, and I have another requirement," Tang Shengzhi ignored Chiang Kai-shek's attitude and directly raised what he wanted: "The Eighth Army now has 60,000 people, which has long been more than one army's organization. The commander-in-chief can see if it can be expanded into four.

"The Eighth Army has made outstanding achievements in military achievements. It is necessary to expand it, but how to expand it? Whether you expand it or expand it, it requires discussion with the commanders of each army. Commander Li, Commander Zhu, Commander Cheng, and Acting Commander Lu are all on the front line. I need to reach an agreement with them and come up with a plan. Only after discussion by the Military Commission can it be implemented. In addition, how to solve the military expenditure after the expansion must be discussed in advance." Chiang Kai-shek gave Tang Shengzhi a nail without being hard or soft.

Even though he knew that Chiang Kai-shek was ruling, his words were so high-sounding. Every sentence was reasonable, Tang Shengzhi felt a little bit of a heavy punch on the cotton, and he felt very uncomfortable.

"As for the Hubei Provincial Government, this will only be decided after the central government's discussion." Chiang Kai-shek continued.

"If you are in your position, you must plan your own affairs. The commander-in-chief can be arbitrary. Besides, according to the organizational regulations of the General Command, the commander-in-chief also has the right to make decisions." Tang Shengzhi pressed forward.

"Meng Xiaowa," Chiang Kai-shek showed a bitter face: "No, some people are already saying that I am arbitrary, and I will make decisions. Others will say that I am a dictator."

Dictator! Tang Shengzhi was so amused and crying. He said this in private, but he didn't expect Chiang Kai-shek to use it to block his mouth at this time.

"What should I do in Wuhan? No one can care about it." Tang Shengzhi asked unwillingly.

"Well, I can decide this now," Chiang Kai-shek said and looked at the venue: "The Fourth Army fought bloody battles on the two bridges, and was known as the Iron Army. Guarding Wuhan will definitely ensure that Wuhan is safe."

Before Chiang Kai-shek finished speaking, Chen Keyu showed joy on his face, and Tang Shengzhi's face turned pale, but Chiang Kai-shek's voice changed: "However, the battlefield in Jiangxi still needs to increase its troops. Sun Chuanfang mobilized reinforcements from Zhejiang, Anhui, and attempted to counterattack Nanchang, so a unit of the Fourth Army must be transferred to the battlefield in Jiangxi. My opinion is that General Chen Mingshu will serve as the commander of the Wuhan garrison, implementing military control in Wuhan, and General Zhang Fakui will go to Jiangxi to participate in the war. In addition, Xia Douyin's unit of the second division of the Hubei Army is transferred to Yichang to defend the western gate of Hubei. Wang Tianpei's unit of the 10th Army will be transferred to East Hubei. The Eighth Army will draw at least two divisions to follow the tenth army."

The Fourth Army and the Tenth Army were transferred to the site of Chiang Kai-shek in Nanchang. After winning the Nanchang Battle, Jialun had formulated a combat plan in northern Jiangxi, with the goal of completely annihilated Lu Xiangting's troops in the middle section of the Nanxun Line. These two armies were responsible for the mission of attacking Chen Tiaoyuan from the north.

After Chiang Kai-shek finished speaking, he looked at Tang Shengzhi and asked, "General Meng Xiao, the Eighth Army has 60,000 troops. The dispatch of two divisions will probably not affect the defense of northern Hubei."

Tang Shengzhi was full of bitterness. What could he say now? He said that the two divisions had only more than 10,000 people, and there were still 50,000 people. In addition, Chen Mingshu, who was stationed in Wuhan, faced Wu Peifu's remnant defeated general, of course, there would be no trouble in Hubei.

Tang Shengzhi suddenly thought anxiously: "Commander-in-Chief, Yang Sen of the Sichuan Army is attacking western Hubei and must be attacked. I think our Eighth Army can take on this task. In addition, Yuan Zuming's plan is indiscriminate, and I am just about to transfer two divisions back to Hunan."

"Yuan Zuming, Yang Sen jumped into the clown. It's not worth worrying. Once the army arrives, it will disappear naturally. Let's do this. General Zhang Fakui's troops will not go to eastern Hubei first, and will draw a division from the Eighth Army from the Eighth Army to fight against western Hubei together." Chiang Kai-shek didn't care at all. These two people were typical speculation. Deng Yanda said that Zhu De had gone. Of course, he didn't know who Zhu De was now, but since Deng Yanda was so sure, wouldn't Yang Sen accept it as long as he wins two battles?

After Yuan Zuming announced the change of flags and accepted the leadership of the National Government, he sent troops to the Northern Expedition. Wang Tianpei belonged to his Guizhou Army system. Wang Tianpei admired Sun Yat-sen and his troops were extremely morale. He led the 10th Army to rush forward to the entire army, from Changde, Lizhou, to Gong'an, Shishou, and then crossed Xiasha City, Jingzhou and other important towns in the Yangtze River. He swept across Hunan and Hubei, and was invincible. However, Yuan Zuming himself stopped in western Hunan and refused to leave. Instead, he colluded with Wu Peifu again and prepared to attack Changsha and cut off the retreat of the Northern Expedition Army. This guy must have been thundered in his mind, and he dared to do such a thing at this time.

Hunan is Tang Shengzhi's old home, so of course it would not be taken lightly. Yuan Zuming's actions have long been investigated clearly, but the main force of the Tang army has already left Hunan. There is only one instructor in the whole of Hunan. Tang Shengzhi ordered the instructor Zhou Lan to prepare while preparing, while preparing to mobilize troops back to Hunan.

As for Yang Sen, it was even more ridiculous. As soon as the Northern Expedition Army arrived in Changsha, he sent people to contact him and demanded to surrender to the Northern Expedition Army. Chiang Kai-shek gave him the number of the 20th Army. From the number, it can be seen that he was earlier than Liu Xiang. But just after Liu Xiang had announced his appointment as the commander of the 21st Army of the National Revolutionary Army, he mobilized his troops and took advantage of the emptiness of western Hubei to join forces with Lu Jinshan, the remnants of Wu Peifu, to defeat the Gong'an, Shishou, Songzi, Zhijiang and other places, and was very arrogant for a moment.

"It is not appropriate to use the Eighth Army in this way. It is better to use the Eighth Army and the Ninth Army in western Hubei. General Zhang Fakui's troops and Commander Wang still attacked western Hubei as planned, but the two divisions transferred to Commander Wang had to wait until the battle in western Hubei ended before setting off." Tang Shengzhi had to settle for the second best to avoid the troops being dispersed and used.

"Team Commander Zhang, Commander Wang, what do you have any opinions?" Chiang Kai-shek asked Zhang Fakui and Wang Tianpei, and Tang Shengzhi's helpless look made him very happy.

"I obey the commander-in-chief." Wang Tianpei's face was dark, and his words had a strong Guizhou accent.

Chiang Kai-shek's eyes circulated on his face, and he noticed Wang Tianpei's answer.

Zhang Fakui was silent and said, "After Wuchang, although the troops were resting, the ammunition was not replenished. Can the Commander-in-Chief allocate some ammunition to us?"

Chiang Kai-shek's heart skipped a beat. What's wrong with Zhang Fakui? Could it be that he was dissatisfied with Chen Mingshu's becoming the commander of Wuhan garrison?

"No problem. I'm afraid there is no ammunition when guarding the Hanyang Arsenal. Haha, don't worry, Xianghua, I will definitely replenish you ammunition before the troops set off."

Chiang Kai-shek's words made Zhang Fakui unable to hold on anymore, so he stood up.
Chapter completed!
