Pinxian was greatly admired. It was not because Zhuang Jihua's words were so brilliant. His strategic purpose was to win enough time to defend Wuhan. He discussed and discussed this conclusion for a long time before he came to the conclusion. However, Zhuang Jihua came out casually here, recalling the various remarks he made in Nanjing, especially in order to give up Nanjing's letter to compatriots across the country, which clearly stated that he had his own understanding of the overall strategy of the War of Resistance. Li Pinxian was tidying up his clothes and completely threw his little thoughts into Longzi Lake.

Chiang Kai-shek was still thinking. He agreed with what Zhuang Jihua said about the purpose of the Fifth War Zone. However, after more than half a year of war, the army suffered a huge loss, but the replenishment was extremely slow. Except for the troops withdrawn from Songhu Nanjing, the troops fighting in North China, such as the Tang Enbo's troops of the 20th Army, the Sun Lianzhong's troops of the Second Army, and the 14th Army of Wei Lihuang, their troops were all replenishing. It would take at least half a year for the new recruits to form combat effectiveness, which means that there will be a strong combat force until at least July.

At present, only the troops with combat effectiveness in Wuhan are Du Yuming, Lu Han and Tang Shizun and others. The Central Army commanded by Xue Yue, Luo and Zhuoying are still replenishing them. If the Japanese army advances west at this moment, he can only rely on these troops. For this reason, he has ordered the transfer of Guangdong and Hunan troops to the north, but these troops are all second-rate troops, with much worse equipment and training, and their combat effectiveness is very limited.

If a large number of troops are transferred to the Fifth War Zone at this time, a second decisive battle between the main forces of China and Japan may be formed. This situation is exactly what the General Staff strives to avoid.

"We should not fight the Japanese army now. If we follow your actions and transfer seven or eight armies over, then will it be another decisive battle?" Jiang~Wen Yan said, this is what Zhuang Jihua has treated like.

Hua hesitated, and Chiang Kai-shek was right to say this. If seven or eight hundred thousand troops were assembled in the Fifth War Zone, it would be a decisive battle, which was contrary to the strategic purpose.

"Let's do this, the New 38th Division and the New 12th Division are transferred to the Fifth War Zone and will be under your command." In Chiang Kai-shek's opinion, these two divisions are new troops. Although the equipment is good, most of them are new recruits after all, and their combat effectiveness is limited, but he still takes the word "you" very seriously.

What Zhuang Jihua thought most was Du Yuming's 60th Army. This army was filled with a large number of his confidants, but now the troops he carefully arranged and trained could not fight under his command. This was undoubtedly a joke for him. But now the result was already good, so Zhuang Jihua insisted on it again.

"In addition, Sun Lianzhong's second episode: the army was also transferred to the Fifth War Zone." Chiang Kai-shek said for a moment that Zhuang Jihua and the generals present were another accident. As I said just now, a large number of troops were not concentrated in the Fifth War Zone, but now another group of troops was transferred, which made everyone a little confused.

However, it is always good to increase troops, and the atmosphere on the table became lively again. The topic gradually focused on the recent statement issued by Japanese Prime Minister Komaki Komaki. After the Japanese government conquered Nanjing, Komaki Komaki suddenly issued such a statement until mid-March.

"The guard is not against the National Government. I really don't know what he thinks. His brain is short-circuited?" Yang Sen shook his head and asked in confusion. He wanted peace in China, but did not negotiate with the Chinese central government. Isn't this a joke?

"I think he was angry and embarrassed." Li Jiayu said lightly: "He thought we should ask for peace by conquering Nanjing, but we can still fight. This made him feel a little embarrassed."

"Chairman. I heard that someone advocates peace talks?" Jiang Baili suddenly asked.

"Peace talk? What to talk about? Unless the Japanese withdraw from Chinese territory, they will never negotiate." Li Jiayu stood up and said, "Whoever wants to negotiate is to sell the country. Kill him."

"Yes, peace talks are not impossible, but we have to follow our conditions. Otherwise, we will sell the country and kill him!" Yang Sen also raised his arms and shouted.

Chiang Kai-shek did not expect that several Sichuan generals were so determined to be in charge of the war. The emotions were so intense. The Japanese asked for too much price. He could not accept it at all. Otherwise, he would have wanted to talk to the Japanese. But now... Yang Sen and others showed that he would regain the power of the war.

"It seems that Zhang Qun's battle cannot be executed for the time being. Even these Sichuan mice are in charge of the war, so others can imagine it." Chiang Kai-shek thought to himself.

"The brother of the prime minister said it right. The Japanese were so angry. In their strategy, this should be a quick battle. By conquering Nanjing, you can end the war and count the fruits of victory. But unexpectedly, we did not surrender, which made them threatened and angry." Zhuang Jihua smiled and picked up a glass of wine and drank it, put down the glass and said, "The Guardian statement shows that the Japanese are arrogant, which is completely inconsistent with the common sense of international diplomacy. He said that we do not take us as opponents, so who is he fighting with? It's a joke. In a simple sentence, they started the war, but we have the final say when the war ends."

Zhuang Jihua's words made everyone feel emotional. You said and said, "I laughed at Konoha. These people were soldiers. Gradually, their words became vulgar. Chiang Kai-shek coughed twice, and everyone felt a little embarrassed. Soong Mei-ling smiled indifferently: "The statement of Konoha does violate the basic principles of international diplomacy, but it is worth noting that his other sentence is to support the new government of Japan, which shows that they are looking for someone willing to cooperate with them in the country. Who is this person?"

"It goes without saying that people like Wang Kemin, Yin Rugeng, Yi, and others, but they cannot be recognized by the people." Li Pinxian said calmly.

"Not necessarily, there are reports that they are exercising Wu Peifu and Cao." Chiang Kai-shek looked a little solemn. After the Guard issued a statement, he and Bai Chong were together.

After discussing this issue, the conclusion was that Wang Kemin and Yin Rugeng were like this: he had the appeal and could not split China's determination to fight against the war. But Wu Peifu was different from Cao, especially the former. For this reason, Chiang Kai-shek sent people to persuade Wu Pei to go south. After Pingjin fell, he sent someone to remind Wu Pei not to cooperate with the Japanese and not to be a sinner of the nation. Wu Peifu also answered him without any ambiguity that although Wu Peifu did not go south, his head could be cut off and blood could flow, and he would never be a traitor.

Yang Sen, who is here, has the closest relationship with Wu Peifu. Wu Peifu failed to step down and was not as good as the concession. Even his most confidant Xiao Yaonan and others dared not accept him. Only Yang Sen will never leave him and take him to Sichuan. For this reason, he will not hesitate to bear tremendous pressure and almost killed by Liu Xiang and others.

"Shishou Yu will not be a traitor." Yang Sen said firmly: "I can't say anything else, but it is impossible for Yu Sen to be a traitor. I, Yang Sen, can guarantee this with my head."

"I also think that Yu Shuai will not be a traitor," Jiang Baili once had a friendship with Wu Peifu and had a certain understanding of Wu Peifu: "Wu Ziyu values ​​reputation, and he would rather die than bring him a traitor."

Chiang Kai-shek remained silent. If Wu Peifu refused to be a traitor, why didn’t he go south like Duan Rui? What did he stay in Beijing for? This question has always lingered in his heart. Chiang Kai-shek looked up and saw Zhuang Jihua frowned and thought, and asked, “What do you think about the Cultural Revolution?”

"I haven't thought about it yet." Zhuang Hua said slowly that Wang Jingwei is now the vice president of the Kuomintang and enjoys a high prestige within the party. Although he made some pessimistic remarks, he did not take action. He accused him of being a traitor, and I'm afraid Chiang Kai-shek would not agree.

After a glance at Zhuang Jihua, Chiang Kai-shek said, "No matter who he is, as long as he becomes a traitor, he will be punished by the state. There is no doubt about this."

After saying that, Jiang Shi stood up and walked out. When he came to the deck, the ground wind blew from the lake was still chilling. The guard quickly brought his coat to put it on. He couldn't see the prospect of this war clearly, but he could be sure of one thing that Europe and the United States could not see Japan taking over China. As long as he could persevere, victory would definitely come.

Chiang Kai-shek walked out by himself. The generals in the cabin did not dare to chase him, but instead made way out. The guards cleared the tables and put some fruits on them, but no one had the intention to eat them again.

Jiang Bai walked slowly onto the deck and stood behind Chiang Kai-shek: "Wang Mang has not been humble yet, and the heroes will only know the difference. The chairman does not have to worry."

"It's right, who knows if a loyal and traitor is going to rain? My mother wants to get married. Who knows? Anyway, set a principle and whoever is a traitor will kill whom." Li Jiayu also said

The two of them had nothing to do with what Chiang Kai-shek thought now. Chiang Kai-shek sighed in his heart. Zhuang Jihua raised the chair to the deck and made it comfortably on the chair. He listened to the lake wind blowing and said comfortably: "It's so comfortable. I can't see this battle for a year or two. The Japanese are happy now, but it's ridiculous that we must be in the end. Look, we lost Nanjing and Xuzhou, conquered Xuzhou and Wuhan, conquered Wuhan, and Japan was busy."

"The general's ambition has not yet faded, and his clothes are always stained with autumn frost and snow; you are here to wash your clothes." Jiang Baili smiled.

"I'm stealing half a day of leisure." Zhuang Jihua said carelessly.

Chiang Kai-shek turned around and smiled, "It seems that you have made progress, and even Li Shedi's poem is remembered."

Zhuang Jihua smiled and said, "This is Hei who is close to the Mo. It's hard to have everyone like General Baili beside him."

"I think you didn't steal half a day of leisure, but stole a little writing from General Baili." Chiang Kai-shek smiled and said, "General Baili, look, I have said that he has read more Chinese books many times, but it has no effect. He said that he doesn't understand classical Chinese, and he has to read vernacular, or you, the principal, has a good teaching.

”

"Cultural Revolution, what is the previous sentence that made me lose my life for half a day?" Jiang Baili smiled slightly.

Zhuang Jihua looked at Jiang Baili with a sad face. Jiang Baili showed a cramped smile on his face, and Chiang Kai-shek couldn't help laughing. No one knew why, Zhuang Jihua was very smart in other aspects, and nothing could do on this.

After a burst of laughter, sorrow left with the wind.

On the way back, Chiang Kai-shek pulled Zhuang Jihua into his car. Zhuang Jihua knew what Chiang Kai-shek was going to ask, and was hesitating whether to remind him to be careful, but Chiang Kai-shek spoke up and shocked him.

"In the Cultural Revolution, the factories in Chongqing should be classified as unified national planning. Now all kinds of materials are very nervous, and Germany is no longer reliable. Hitler refuses to sell us weapons again, and at the same time asks the advisory group to return to China." Chiang Kai-shek's expression was very serious, with anger in his eyes, which is undoubtedly betrayal.

Zhuang Jihua had long understood that it was unreliable for the latter, but he was still very shocked by the former. He did not expect that Chiang Kai-shek would have to give in to the arsenal in Chongqing so soon, but Zhuang Jihua could not give in, and Liu Xiang and the others could not give in.

"The factories in Chongqing belong to Sichuan development companies," Zhuang Jihua said in embarrassment: "I am just one of the shareholders. I can control less than half of the shares and cannot manipulate the board of directors."

"Yang Sen, didn't Li Jiayu and the others listen to you?" Chiang Kai-shek glanced at him.

"They listened to me because of this company. This company can provide them with a large amount of dividends. Without this company, he would not listen to me at all." Zhuang Jihua said with a wry smile.

At this moment, Chiang Kai-shek felt a little regretful. It would have been great if he had not agreed to establish this company, but there was no regret in this world that the medicine was sold.

Logistical supplies are all about Chongqing's arsenal," Chiang Kai-shek sighed. If the factory cannot be included in the unified national plan, the supply of the Central Army is very worrying: "Cultural Revolution, you discuss with Yang Zihui and Li Qixiang. Deng Jinkang will not be able to go to the Fifth War Zone in a long time. You should also discuss it together and find a way out."

"Okay." Zhuang Jihua also sighed. Chongqing's arsenal meets the needs of up to 500,000 people, but now there are three or four million troops across the country, and the gap is very big. But if it is handed over to Chiang Kai-shek, the Sichuan Army, and himself, it may be difficult to get what he wants again.

The car fell silent, and the car was driving forward on the bumpy road. After a while, Chiang Kai-shek asked again: "You didn't say it just now, let's talk about it now, who do the Japanese care about?"

Zhuang Jihua was silent for a while, and thought for a while and said, "Whether it is Wu Peifu or Wang Kemin, they can only be the second plan for the Japanese. What the Japanese want most is to find a person within our party or military. He has a high prestige, but he is sad about the prospect of the war."

With Zhuang Jihua's words, a figure appeared in Chiang Kai-shek's mind, elegant and knowledgeable. Could he dare to take this big fuss? Chiang Kai-shek was a little unbelievable; but if it was him, it would be a problem. With his prestige within the party, he would definitely have many followers, and the Kuomintang would split and had a great impact on the war of resistance.

"Impossible." Chiang Kai-shek kept whispering, Zhuang Jihua turned his head to look at him, knowing that Chiang Kai-shek had found his intentional guide target.

"Principal, what's wrong?" Zhuang Ji deliberately.

"What," Jiang~ leaned against the backrest, and gently tapped his forehead with one hand: "What do you think of the New Fourth Army?"

"Oh, it's good to be incorporated, it's also considered a shareholding." Zhuang Jihua didn't say anything. In November last year, the Kuomintang and the Communist Party reached an agreement. The Red Army in Jiangnan was incorporated into the New Fourth Army, with five detachments under it, with more than 10,000 people in the entire army. The commander was Ye Ting, a famous general of the Northern Expedition, and the others were the same as the Eighth Route Army.

"What? I think it's inappropriate?" Chiang Kai-shek heard a different feeling from Zhuang Jihua's tone. He thought he was dissatisfied with the result and couldn't help but be happy. As long as Zhuang Jihua was willing to fight with the Communist Party, he would be happy.

"No, the inclusion should be incorporated. After all, we have cooperated now, but why do we have to form a new army? Why not all of them are merged into the 18th Army? Why should we place it in Jiangnan? It can be transferred to the Second War Zone, anyway, the Red Army is in the Second War Zone."

Zhuang Jilian mentioned a few reasons, which made Chiang Kai-shek start to rethink the handling of the New Fourth Army, but now he refused to admit his mistake.

"The ** side requires that the troops in Jiangnan should be formed into a new force," said Chiang Kai-shek.

"Yes, just give them a division number. Anyway, they only have 10,000 people, which is exactly enough for one division. Then let them command themselves. Taihang Mountain is very big, and with more than 10,000 people, there are also many."

Chiang Kai-shek was a little confused. Why was Zhuang Jihua willing to gather all the ** troops together? You should know that the troops were dispersed and their strength was also dispersed, so the restrictions on ** were greatly enhanced.

"They reported tens of thousands of people." Chiang Kai-shek said helplessly. The southern guerrillas were extremely scattered, and no one knew how many people were.

"This is easy to deal with, just order the editor." Zhuang Jihua said: "Let them all concentrate in Nanchang, or other cities, and then order the editor on the same day. Each company sends people to order the editor. On the same day, at the same moment, they do not follow the roster and only nod their heads. In this way, they are just playing tricks, and they will produce 10% more. This is acceptable, and then all of them will be sent to the second war zone.

”

Chiang Kai-shek cursed in his heart that this idea looked stupid, but in fact it was very clever. Chen Lifu He Zhonghan was really a fool, and he was fooled by them and gave him a military and local number for nothing.

It was almost time to Bengbu, and Chiang Kai-shek said again: "Cultural Revolution, you must go to Xuzhou as soon as possible and discuss the defense plan for the Fifth War Zone with Li Delin."

"Yes, principal."

"In addition, the Central Army suffered a lot of losses, so Chongqing can provide weapons and equipment as soon as possible," Chiang Kai-shek still misses the Chongqing Arsenal. Now that all foreign aid is cut off, the Chongqing Arsenal is like a moving cake, which is irresistible.

Zhuang Jihua understood what Chiang Kai-shek meant that he could not provide supplements to other troops before the Central Army was replenished, and even before the Central Army was reorganized as the Forty-Nine Army.

It seems that Chiang Kai-shek has set his sights on Chongqing. Zhuang Jihua doesn't know how long he can resist this time. He suddenly understood that Chiang Kai-shek's main purpose is to come to the Chongqing arsenal. What kind of labor and victory are his arsenal.

The car stopped, and Zhuang Jihua looked up and found that he had arrived at the 21st Army Command in Bengbu City.

"Li Zaitian and Vice President Wang were having a hot fight in Chongqing." Chiang Kai-shek suddenly mentioned without knowing it, and then got off the car.

Zhuang Jihua's heart was shocked. Wang Jingwei had a very strong relationship with Li Zhilong. He promoted Li Zhilong to the Navy Director and was considered to be a kindness to Li Zhilong. Now both of them are in Chongqing. If the old love is rekindled, then things will be troublesome.

Why didn’t Li Zhilong listen to the advice? Zhuang Jihua complained in his heart, why did he get along with Wang Jingwei? Isn’t this asking for trouble?
