Section 4 Drums of War (5)
Regarding the current situation and the party's strategy, there are also some very weak voices within the Third Party. These voices mainly come from the lower classes of the Party and those who are close to the party. However, none of this attracted the attention of core senior officials such as Deng Yanda, Huang Qixiang, and Ji Fang. They still insisted on anti-Chiang, but they also noticed the demands of the people across the country to fight against Japan. Therefore, the word "anti-Japanese" was added before anti-Chiang, and anti-Chiang was still mainstream.
"Cultural Revolution is amazing." Deng Yanda stayed for a while before saying in a low voice: "I didn't expect that even he would be pulled over to you. I really didn't expect that he was indeed mature."
Obviously, it was seriously affected by Zhuang Jihua, and he didn't want to deny it: "He is very powerful, better than we imagined. Sometimes I can't help but compare him with Chiang Kai-shek and you. He is better than both of you in some aspects."
Deng Yanda did not answer, but walked to the door silently and stood side by side with the serious side. He recalled the young man who was a little immature and a little reckless in his mind, "Can you transfer it to me? It's okay to double it." It seems that he was like this at the beginning. Once he sees it correctly, he dares to invest a huge price.
"Will he be independent?" Deng Yanda asked suddenly.
"It doesn't mean that now, but," he hesitated after thinking seriously: "It depends on the situation."
Deng Yanda understood that the serious meaning was that if there were changes in the central government, such as Chiang Kai-shek died or completely disappeared from the political arena, then the possibility of Zhuang Jihua's independence would not be ruled out.
"He has that great strength?" Deng Yanda's tone was still plain.
"Yes," he did not hesitate at all: "In three years, he practiced social transformation and industrialization in Chongqing, creating a strong foundation for war. Although he only had 50,000 soldiers, as long as he was willing, these 50,000 people could be expanded to 100,000 in one month, and in two months, it could be expanded to 300,000. Chongqing's arsenal can provide him with a steady stream of weapons and ammunition, and his troops can become the best equipped force in China."
Deng Yanda was not surprised this time, but regret. Zhuang Wenjie could no longer surprise him. Even though he had been to Chongqing, he had learned a lot. Chongqing citizens' trust in the government is probably the highest in China. Unfortunately, he was unwilling to join the third party. If... then the third party would have the capital to compete with Chiang Kai-shek.
"Brother Zi Yuan, do you really think the current situation has reached the point of cooperating with Chiang Kai-shek to fight against the war?" Deng Yanda was very cautious. This involved a comprehensive change in the party-local work policy, and he had just reached an agreement with Guangdong and Guangxi. If he didn't try it, he would be very unwilling to accept it.
He did not answer immediately, but stared at the relief on the pavilion in the courtyard. The relief was already a little blurry, as if it was a flying bird, about to spread its wings and fly high.
"Ze Sheng, the answer has been told to us in the 129th Movement." He didn't say much, he knew that no matter how much he said, it was useless to Deng Yanda. He could only find out by himself and find out the answer. Then he could change.
"Have you interfered in the 129th Movement?" asked seriously.
"Well, Ji Fang and Zhang Shen Mansion, especially Zhang Shen Mansion, were one of the initiators." Deng Yanda said that this was another person who gave him a little headache. Zhang Shen Mansion was an important figure when Huangpu was founded and a party member. Later, he had a conflict with Cai Hesen and others. He was angry and accepted Cai Yuanpei's invitation and became a professor at Tsinghua University. He made little achievements during the Great Revolution, but after the April 12th coup, he supported Deng Yanda and was the main member of Deng Yanda's establishment of the Action Committee. But in the past two years, he gradually got farther and farther away from the Action Committee, and he did not participate in many major events in the organization. On the contrary, he single-handedly launched a national campaign in Peking.
"He is probably supporting me. North China is so big that he can no longer put down a calm desk. It's so good." He sighed seriously and said that Zhang Shenfu is too maverick and has little contact with him in Huangpu. However, since he can launch such a big campaign, he will naturally have more understanding of the current territorial situation.
Deng Yanda frowned slightly. He agreed in his heart that Ji Fang was the general manager of the party's northern affairs. According to his report, after the Rehe War, Zhang Shenfu proposed to reconcile with Chiang Kai-shek and go to the national crisis together. He had a dispute with Ji Fang, so he left again.
At this time, the joy of the two meeting had disappeared without a trace, leaving only a heavy ray of weight. Deng Yanda obviously did not want to give up his anti-Chiang and anti-Japanese proposal, and seriously insisted that he should change his course.
"There is a judgment on the Cultural Revolution," he finally returned to the road of trying to convince Deng Yanda: "He believes that a full-scale war between China and Japan may break out within three years as soon as possible."
Deng Yanda was shocked and couldn't help but exclaim: "Three years! It's impossible!"
"It's not impossible, it's very likely," then explained Zhuang Jihua's analysis one by one: "..., I think his analysis makes sense. The danger of war breaking out within three years is very high. Selecting students, can we completely defeat Chiang Kai-shek within three years? Can we control the situation after Chiang Kai-shek left? Will various local factions obey the new central government?"
"certainly…"
As soon as Deng Yanda finished speaking, he seriously and resolutely interrupted him: "No, Zhesheng, you are wrong. The conflict between local factions and the central government is natural and irreversible. If the central government wants to reduce the vassal states, control finance, and control personnel, it will inevitably conflict with the local government. They will not care who is in charge of the central government. If it is Chiang Kai-shek, they will oppose Chiang, and if it is you Deng Zesheng, they will oppose Deng.
But if the central government does not control those, the central government will have no money to support the army, fight against Japan, and do not have money to carry out construction. Therefore, three years of life are absolutely not enough."
Deng Yanda was stunned and continued seriously: "The reforms implemented by Zhuang Wenge in Chongqing have spent a lot of energy on Liu Xiang and others. Every step is a game of interests. No one is willing to give up their rights and interests for nothing. The difficulties are not something that can be understood. Deng Yanda thought carefully, and after a long time, he shook his head and said, "Three years? No, no, no, Zhuang Wenge, I'm afraid that Zhuang Wenge is too pessimistic. According to the news I received, after the new Japanese cabinet came to power, he felt the anti-Japanese waves in China, and absolutely revised his policy to China. Instead of military confrontation with diplomacy, Hirota even proposed to withdraw the Japanese army from outside the Great Wall, leaving only the police in the unarmed area for this."
He looked at him with a serious surprise. Suddenly he figured it out: "You, you won't have any connection with Japan, are you?"
"We don't have it. Chen Jitang has it. He has sent Chen Youren to Japan for activities. I hope Japan can provide arms." Deng Yanda did not deny it, but he did not say anything at all, but he guessed it seriously. It was so easy to provide arms, those arms are so easy to get.
"I really didn't expect it." said seriously painfully: "You are so useless and the whole country is fighting against Japan. You are actually going to trade with Japan. You..., it really disappoints me."
Deng Yanda's face turned slightly red, and he argued: "Zhuyuan, we did not trade with the Japanese. Chen Jitang was the one who traded with the Japanese. Of course, we did not stop it. This was just a strategic issue. After overthrowing Chiang Kai-shek, we will settle the accounts slowly."
"Quote!" shouted severely, his face turned red. He pointed at Deng Yanda, trembling, his eyes full of disappointment: "Under the banner of anti-Japanese war, he made a deal with the Japanese in private. This is not an anti-Japanese war, but this is an anti-Japanese war. This is an anti-Japanese war. Essence, you must change your course, either stop this approach immediately, or our party immediately withdraws from this incident, otherwise... I... will quit, I... I will break off my friendship with you."
After quitting, he broke up with friendship, Deng Yanda was shocked again. He seemed to be not aware of his seriousness. Looking at his excited expression, Deng Yanda felt for the first time that he really should have adjusted.
Yes, the Third Party did not directly interact with the Japanese, but they knew Chen Jitang's actions. His actions also caused heated debate within the Third Party. Chen Mingshu and Huang Qixiang clearly opposed it. He and Li Jishen were unable to choose. Ji Fang and Zhang Bojun were one in the north and the other in Nanyang. Chen Youren and Tan Pingshan expressed their agreement, believing that this was a stopgap measure. Overthrowing Chiang Kai-shek was the first major event, and all actions must be done around this major event.
"Zhuyuan, calm down!" Deng Yanda loudly stopped his serious loss of composure. He grabbed his shoulder and looked straight in his eyes: "We have been dating for twenty years. Don't you know who I am! I, Deng Yanda, are the traitors?"
The series of questions calmed down the seriousness, Deng Yanda continued: "Changing the strategy requires a process, and it is necessary to convince all comrades in the party. What I say alone doesn't count. Zhiyuan, you have to give me time and let me think carefully."
If you calm down seriously, Deng Yanda is definitely not a traitor. Even if you chop him into meat sauce, he will never betray the country. Otherwise, he would never have conflicts with the Communist International when he was the weakest. However, he still feels a deep crisis. If it were Deng Yanda back then, he would never have been sitting on the sidelines of such a thing.
"Selecting a student, you have been under too much pressure over the years. I suggest you stop and think carefully about what to do and how to take the path of the Chinese revolution?" said seriously as if Deng Yanda was tired and heavy.
"Revolution requires strategies, but this strategy must have a bottom line. Paper cannot keep the fire. I dare say that once Chen Jitang colluded with the Japanese, the matter of not only being unanimously opposed by the whole country, but even the soldiers of the Guangdong Army will never. Although Guangdong and Guangxi have not yet started a rebellion, they have already been defeated."
The serious words deeply hurt Deng Yanda and also shocked Deng Yanda. Will he still have to get together with Chiang Kai-shek in the end? Deng Yanda fell into deep thought.
"The War of Resistance is the War of Resistance for the whole nation. We can support Chiang Kai-shek's War of Resistance and recognize him as the leader of the War of Resistance, but it does not mean that we give up our principles. Our program can still oppose his dictatorship, and at the same time, we can also promote him to fight against the War of Resistance to the end."
The serious words made Deng Yanda suddenly enlightened, and he nodded: "You are right, but such a major decision must be discussed with the comrades to make everyone turn around."
Zhuang Jihua did not act with the troops, but rushed to Ya'an first. When he arrived in Ya'an, the battle by the Jinsha River had completely changed.
Long Yun assembled 50,000 troops by the Jinsha River, and was commanded by Sun Du to cross the river to capture the murderer. Liu Yuantang and Chen Guangzao joined forces, but the troops were still far from enough. The two sent a telegram a day to ask for help from Liu Wenhui who was far away in Ya'an.
