Section 1 Shanghai Disturbance (7)

"You can give him the money and let him do it by himself. Such a large sum of money can help him do a lot of things." Zhang Jingjiang used to do this. Whether it was Sun Yat-sen or Chiang Kai-shek, he would give it to him if he asked for money and never ask where he went, so he also suggested that Zhuang Jihua adopt this method.

Zhuang Jihua shook his head: "The principal will not build a factory. He will use it to suppress the Communist Party. In his opinion, suppressing the Communist Party is more important than resisting Japan, but he was wrong. Think about it, how many Communist Party members have been killed since April 12, but why have they been killed repeatedly? Now there are more territory and army. Our Kuomintang has mastered the main wealth, main manpower, and millions of troops in the country, but it cannot even eliminate tens of thousands of Red Army soldiers. Why is this? So the problem of the Communist Party is not a military issue, but a political issue, economic issue, and social issue. It is impossible to eliminate the Communist Party by military alone. I have told this issue before, but he didn't listen. He didn't listen before, and he wouldn't listen now."

Zhang Jingjiang's proposal was also proposed in the United States, Mr. Mei, who believed that it would be better to donate a large amount of money to the National Government and let the National Government carry out construction by itself, but Zhuang Jihua firmly refused. He repeatedly stated that Chiang Kai-shek would only use this money to suppress the Communist Party and reduce the vassal states, rather than to carry out construction. They had to do it themselves. They also cited the example of donating planes and donating money to the 19th Route Army, but were deducted by the National Government, and finally convinced Mr. Mei.

Zhang Jingjiang did not object, he just sighed: "I didn't expect that after the success of the Northern Expedition, the country became more and more chaotic. The Kuomintang flag was everywhere, but he did not obey the central government everywhere. From 2017 to 2010, the Japanese are coming again. How long will the world be in chaos? It seems that the decision to divide the 412 and 2019 is too hasty."

Zhang Jingjiang firmly supported the 412-part division. He thought that after the division of the Communist Party, he realized unity within the Kuomintang and eliminated interference. He completed the Northern Expedition, but unexpectedly, the division of the Communist Party was divided, but the Kuomintang also split. Politically, Wang Jingwei, Hu Hanmin, and Chiang Kai-shek each had their own opinions. In military terms, Chiang Kai-shek, Feng Yuxiang, Yan Xishan, and Li Zongren attacked continuously. In addition, warlords of all sizes, new and old, almost every day, and the country was trapped in a deeper melee.

"You saw far away from the beginning." Zhang Jingjiang looked at Zhuang Jihua with great regret. He had a little understanding of Zhuang Jihua's proposal of cooperation between the Kuomintang and the Communist Party in the past, but now it seems that it is a better strategy.

"The past is over. Let's face it," Zhuang Jihua also felt very sorry, but now he said this from time to time: "Sir, the principal was wrong again this time. During April 12th, he took the ** as the banner and united a group of comrades within the party and successfully divided the Communist Party. This time he still insisted on **, but he ignored that the main problem is no longer the Communist Party, but the Japanese. Resisting Japanese invasion has become a consensus among people of all walks of life across the country. The principal is still talking about the first step in resolutely defending the country. This will not only waste our time preparing for the War of Resistance, but also make those who originally supported him turn to oppose him and then fall into a big fight. Only then will he wake up. Zhang Jingjiang nodded and admitted that the party is now very dissatisfied with the government's strategy against Japan. Even he is alienated from Chiang Kai-shek, and he can't help but hope that he will fall into a fight.

"He is becoming more and more stubborn and can't listen to the words he doesn't like to be in harmony with his heart." Zhang Jingjiang was very dissatisfied when he remembered his expression with Chiang Kai-shek. He had done a great job in Zhejiang, building railways, holding expos, and promoting Zhejiang's economic development. He did several things that caused a sensation across the country, but because of his disagreement with Chiang Kai-shek, he was removed from the position of provincial chairman. This made him very puzzled.

"I have heard about Mr. Zhejiang in the United States. The New York Times also reported that it has had a significant impact internationally. It has been held in such a difficult situation. I admire Mr. Cheng's courage and ability." Zhuang Jihua praised him. But to be honest, Zhang Jingjiang deserves this compliment.

"Oh, New York knows it too." Zhang Jingjiang was a little surprised. The West Lake Expo was a major political achievement when he was in charge of Zhejiang and a precedent for the China Expo. So when he mentioned this, Zhang Jingjiang was very excited: "The Prime Minister said that only industry can save the country and strengthen the country. I hosted the West Lake Expo to fulfill the purpose of the Prime Minister. At the beginning, many people opposed it. The funding for the start-up was less than 100,000 yuan, but in the end there were tens of thousands of manufacturers, more than 10 million exhibits, and the final awards were 3,216. I am willing to do this, and I am willing to do it."

"I am enough? No, sir, you are wrong. This is just a painting cake to satisfy your hunger." Zhuang Jihua looked at Zhang Jingjiang with a smile on his face. It was only the first time he showed a real smile since he entered the door. But Zhuang Jihua couldn't let him keep this mentality and poured a basin of cold water on his head.

Zhang Jingjiang was stunned and stared at Zhuang Jihua with some anger. Zhuang Jihua did not retreat at all, but stared at him: "A West Lake Expo will satisfy you so much. Your ambition is too small. Industrial saving the country. The steel output is less than a fraction of Japan, let alone the United States. Did we build cars, ships, and aircraft? The West Lake Expo is essentially just a light industry and agricultural expo. What about heavy industry? The northeast is a bit, but now it is occupied by the Japanese. Looking around China, except for the industry left over from the Qing Dynasty, we have developed any heavy industry," Zhuang Jihua said, unable to help but stand up: "Our country is too weak and heavy industry is too weak, but now the teacher has enough wishes. Although the year is not high, the dusk is still heavy. I am deeply worth it."

Zhang Jingjiang's face flashed with anger. He was silent for a while and suddenly laughed: "Cultural Revolution, this aggressive plan is too much. Can you change other methods? Besides, I am not old, I am over fifty."

Zhuang Jihua smiled, but the old man's shrewdness was greatly admired: "The West Lake Expo is just a little trial of the teacher. I know that the teacher and the principal have a grudge. As a junior, I can't resolve the conflict between you, but I think there are two ways to contribute to the country, one through the government, and the other through the people. If you don't want to pass the government, why not try the people."

"How do you do this among the people?" Zhang Jingjiang said strangely. Since ancient times, the folk have learned the saying that civil and military skills and sell it to the imperial family. The traditional orthodox Chinese theory has a large market among the people. Most people believe in the government. As long as the government is not too bad, it is the first time that Zhang Jingjiang has heard of this idea.

"That is to run an industry. Didn't the principal not consider Japan? Then we prepare for the people and evaluate a country's war capabilities in two levels: one is hard power and the other is soft power; hard power refers to weapons and equipment, number of troops, and training level; soft power is the country's manufacturing capabilities, the organizational status of the people, the country's resources, and the education level of the people. We cannot do the former, so we can do the latter. We can at least improve the country's manufacturing capabilities and develop part of the resources. We can also run some schools to open up people's wisdom. In this way, the country's soft power can be improved, which is also a contribution to the country." Zhuang Jihua completed it in one go.

After hearing this, Zhang Jingjiang didn't say anything. He seemed to see from this endless talker that he was not concerned about gains and losses, but just doing it.

After Zhuang Jihua finished speaking, he looked at the other party quietly. He had already used all his eloquence. Now he was just waiting for Zhang Jingjiang to reply, but the latter was as deep as water and seemed to be unheard of his inciting speech.

Gradually, Zhuang Jihua's heart began to sink. Zhang Jingjiang was a very refreshing person. Promise was agreeing. A long wait like this showed that he was fighting in his heart, and the possibility of not agreeing was increasing.

Sure enough, Zhang Jingjiang asked Zhuang Jihua to know that his purpose of coming today was disappointed.

"Cultural Revolution, you are a good lobbyist. You almost convinced me, but I still can't agree to you. The government and the country have disappointed me. I have done a lot to the country, enough, and the rest depends on yours." Zhang Jingjiang said tiredly.

Zhuang Jihua bowed deeply to him: "Sir, since that's the case, I will say goodbye. I don't have much time in Shanghai and I still have a lot of things to do. Five or six days later, I will set off for Wuhan and then go to Chongqing. If Mr. can come to Chongqing in the future, we will have a long talk and make a drunk together. I will say goodbye."

After saying that, he left. Zhang Jingjiang looked at his back and suddenly shouted, "Slowly," Zhuang Jihua's heart suddenly felt a sense of joy, and he turned around with a smile on his face.

Zhang Jingjiang pushed the wheel hard, walked to Zhuang Jihua, raised his head slightly, and looked at him.

"Let's leave after lunch, we were friends at least."

"No," Zhuang Jihua shook his head and said, "We are friends in the future, but today I really have no time. My husband rejected me, so I have to find a second person. In addition, I also go to see if the bank's money has arrived. When I arrive, I have to register a company. I also have to see my former adjutant, Song Yunfei. I must do my best to do the work in Shanghai as soon as possible. If I can leave one day earlier, I will leave one day earlier. There is not much time left for us."

"The second person is chosen?" Zhang Jingjiang frowned and thought: "Who is it?"

"Yu Qiaqing." Zhuang Jihua said three words lightly, and Zhang Jingjiang nodded and reminded him: "This person is scheming, you should be careful when you cooperate with him."

"Don't worry, sir, I understand that the cooperation method is different from him, it's just business cooperation." Zhuang Jihua was very disappointed. Zhang Jingjiang could agree, then he could hand over everything in Shanghai to him. Mei Yuntian could come to Chongqing to help him in a year and a half later.

"Are you entering Sichuan alone?" Zhang Jingjiang was a little surprised.

Zhuang Jihua nodded: "It's no big deal. I was alone in starting a business in Europe. After all, this place is still my motherland. I will say goodbye to you."

Zhuang Jihua bowed and turned around and left the Zhang family. Zhang Jingjiang sat in a wheelchair. Seeing Zhuang Jihua's back as lonely as he was, but his waist was so straight, Zhang Jingjiang couldn't help but be stunned.

"Renjie, who is this young man?" A woman's voice came from behind, and this was his wife Zhu Yimin.
