Chapter VIII The Betrayal Section 1 Dormant (1)
"For Ganzhou General Ten... this is a dark day. They trusted the officers of Zenghushi and led their commanders to achieve the Lashio Victory. This was not his own wish or the soldiers of the Expeditionary Force, but from the pressure from the allies.
The winner was uncondemned, but it seemed to be ineffective on General Zhuang Jihua. It was he who opposed the public and achieved the great victory in Lashio. However, after the war, under the veil of warmth and silentness, the allies made compromises, and General Zhuang became a victim of this political compromise.
When Nanjing retreated, I met General Zhuang; when Xuzhou defense battle, I learned more about General Zhuang; for several years, he was the most wise Chinese general of the Japanese. He annihilated seven Japanese divisions and was the general with the largest number of enemies among the generals of the Allied Kingdom Canru Xingchen, but now he has to temporarily leave the battlefield he longs for.
This is a big loss!!!”.
Weber's tragic report could not stop Zhuang Jihua from leaving. In the drizzle of flying in Myanmar, the convoy carrying Zhuang Jihua left Lashio and embarked on the way back to China. The soldiers of the expeditionary army all went to the rain to see their farewell on both sides of the road.
If it were in the past, Zhuang Jihua would have opened the window or got out of the car to say goodbye to the soldiers, but this time he was sitting in the car without moving. No matter what happened outside, he did not get out of the car, and even the window was not opened. The car seemed extremely silent, and Gong Xiuhua and Wu Ziniu had no intention of mediating the atmosphere.
Gong Xiuhua returned to the headquarters after seeing Song Yunfei off. After Song Yunfei's injuries were stable, he was sent back to Kunming by plane, and then sent to Chongqing to be treated at the Chongqing Army General Hospital.
After entering the national gate, the speed of Zhuang Jihua's convoy became slower. People along the way welcomed Zhuang Jihua in various forms. Zhuang Jihua was abnormal and would stop and give speeches to the people whenever they met. From Lashio to Kunming, they walked for two weeks in a week. When they arrived in Kunming, Huang Shaofa and Feng Gu led tens of thousands of people from Yunnan and tens of thousands of people from all walks of life to welcome him out of the city. Hu Yan toasted Zhuang Jihua on behalf of the people of Yunnan.
The huge sea bowl, this sea bowl was twice as big as the sea bowl Zhuang Jihua once saw at home. Zhuang Jihua was completely shocked and had to repeat the same trick, sprinkle most of the wine in the bowl before drinking it.
"Cultural Revolution, the news I received, the Chairman wants you to reorganize the army, the Expeditionary Army, not to mention anything else, in terms of logistics, I, Huang Shaofa, take full responsibility, the food and civil servants, as long as I ask, I guarantee to be delivered to the front on time, Huang Shaofa comforted Zhuang Jihua while assuring Zhuang Jihua to support the Expeditionary Army. Zhuang Jihua was very grateful for this, but Hu Mo shook his head next to him: "The victory in Lashio has brought out the prestige of our China, General Zhuang has made great contributions. General Zhuang should not leave Myanmar, the Chairman was wrong.
"Senior Hu, Chairman Hu is actually what I meant." Zhuang Jihua took the matter to himself. Weber's report was banned in China, so the outside world did not know the real reason why Zhuang Jihua was transferred back to China. Zhuang Jihua could also take over: "The Battle of Myanmar once again proved that we have huge defects in logistics supplementation. These defects can only be organized by expanding production and accelerating industrial construction and social reform. Only by completing these can we launch a counterattack and completely drive the invaders out of the land of China.
"The Chairman came back from the Cultural Revolution to reuse Huang Shaofa vaguely knew something about the Cultural Revolution, but he knew that this matter could not be revealed and could only be limited to the top.
Huang Shaofa invited Zhuang Jihua to move into Wuhua Mountain. Zhuang Jihua agreed with a smile, and Feng Gui followed him all the time, but except for a few words of scenes, he almost didn't speak. But after entering Wuhua Mountain and outsiders left, Feng Gui's words opened.
"Cultural Revolution, if the Chairman asked you to reorganize the army, I suggest you not accept it." Feng Gui had no intention of treating himself as an outsider at all. He suggested that Zhuang Jihua refuse, and did not consider whether Zhuang Jihua was willing to accept it.
"Why? Brother Wuchang, is there any mystery here?" Zhuang Jihua frowned slightly. Although Feng Gui revealed his inclination to him last time, he was still not sure. The conflict between him and Chen Lifu brothers rose due to the party power in the three southwestern provinces. Now he is a little unsure of Feng Gui's attitude.
"Some people really want to get this. The Chairman's attitude is not like two weeks ago." Feng Gui didn't say who it was, but Zhuang Jihua heard that there was no one except Chen Cheng who could change Chiang Kai-shek's ideas.
"That's nothing. As long as the chairman has not made the final decision, I will have the chance to say Zhuang Jihua pretends to be relaxed.
Feng Gui shook his head slightly, looking straight into Zhuang Jihua's eyes, as if he wanted to see through his true thoughts, Zhuang Jihua also met without retreating. Feng Gui sighed softly: "It's not him alone, they have already joined together. At least when dealing with you, your strength is too strong. Now the chairman has to worry about three points. If you ask you to consolidate the army, I'm afraid even the chairman will not be able to control it.
"It's a relief to avoid you having a quarrel with the Americans, and it's also a matter of choosing you." Feng Gui said outside the door, Wu Ziniu was as usual. He sat down... and did not let anyone get close. Feng Gui continued: "If you go to fight, you may be able to fight, but I'm afraid you will never be able to go to the battlefield again."
Zhuang Jihua gasped and said that in Myanmar, he had a rift with Shi Mawei. One reason was that Stilwell's combat plan was indeed not good, and he had no chance at all; the second was that to some extent, Chiang Kai-shek felt relieved. If Chiang Kai-shek hadn't realized it before, after these years, he should have realized it.
In military terms, in addition to the 200,000 troops he trained, Zhuang Jihua also had 300,000 troops to support him. His actions in the Fifth War Zone made the Northwest soldiers have a good impression of him. What is even more terrifying is that the industry in the southwest was his handmade decoration. In this process, he almost controlled the party and government system in the southwest. In addition, economically, the four major banks he controlled could confront the four major banks controlled by the central government. What made Chiang Kai-shek uneasy was that although Zhuang Jihua has supported him over the years, he has not completely consistent with him in politics and has not given up the proposal of cooperation between the Kuomintang and the Communist Party so far.
Zhuang Jihua already understood what Feng Gui didn't say. This attack came from the joint action of the brothers Chen Cheng and Chen Lifu. Chen Cheng wanted to gain the power to consolidate the army, and Chen Lifu wanted to regain the party power in Guizhou, Sichuan. In addition, Zhuang Jihua could also imagine that there were those who were damaged in material control and those who were dissatisfied with the Chongqing model. These people would probably take the opportunity to attack.
When he first heard this news, Zhuang Jihua was not worried, but Feng Gui's reminder made him alert. He was not worried because Chen Cheng had He Yingqin to restrain him. He could not do whatever he wanted. Chen Lifu wanted to fight for the party power, but he had transferred this part of the power to Chiang Ching-kuo. Chen Lifu was actually fighting for Chiang Ching-kuo's power and was destined not to succeed.
But Feng Gui's analysis made him worried. Although he was a little regretful to leave Myanmar, he had no regrets. According to his strategic rules, once the Japanese army drew troops from the Chinese battlefield, the pressure on the domestic battlefield dropped, freeing up time to reorganize the army. Then, after the US military launched a counterattack in the South Pacific, the domestic battlefield could cooperate with the counterattack. He hoped that this counterattack would be commanded by him.
"If I don't fight, what will I do after I go back?" Zhuang Jihua was silent for a long time, and finally asked.
"Continue to lead social reforms," Feng Gui replied without hesitation: "You are the creator of the Chongqing model and the best candidate to promote the Chongqing model. I suggest that you first choose Shaanxi and Gansu as the pilot project for promotion.
”
Zhuang Jihua stood up and walked to the window. In the yard outside the window, the personnel he brought out from the Expeditionary Force were still busy. The weather in Kunming was very comfortable, the spring atmosphere was very strong, and Wuhua Mountain was full of blooming flowers, and the fragrance enveloped the entire villa.
"Northwest?" It is impossible to complete the social reforms in Shaanxi and Gansu without three years, but does it have three years? No, no. Three years later, the Japanese were almost surrendering.
Feng Gui seemed to see through Zhuang Jihua's thoughts. He said slowly: "What I am worried about is not that you don't want to go to the northwest, but that the Chairman is unwilling to let you go. The three southwest provinces have fallen into your hands, and the five northwest provinces have fallen into your hands. Half of China is yours. In fact, even if you strengthen your contacts with Hu Zongnan, I'm afraid the Chairman is not happy to see."
Zhuang Jihua couldn't help but smile bitterly. He calmed down slightly, turned to Feng Gui and said, "Thank you for your reminder, but the news came suddenly. I haven't figured out what to do, northwest," What should I do, it will take until I arrive in Chongqing to decide."
Feng Gui nodded. This was a destiny. He was not a person in Zhuang Jihua's core circle. In fact, let alone the core circle, no one can be sure whether he is Zhuang Jihua or not. Zhuang Jihua naturally would not make such a big decision based on his words. After seeing Feng Gui leave, Gong Xiuhua brought in a thermos bottle, poured water into the basin, then put the towel in the basin, then walked to Zhuang Jihua, helped him take off his military coat, wrung the towel, and handed it to Zhuang Jihua.
"Pull face first, stop thinking about it, you will know everything when you arrive in Chongqing."
Although Gong Xiuhua was not inside the house, she could hear Feng Gui's words clearly outside. She also began to make plans for Zhuang Jihua in her heart, but she couldn't figure out what to do.
Going to the northwest to carry out social reform is obviously a dangerous move. Not to mention success or failure, just talk about the basics. Zhuang Jihua is not Zhuang Jihua ten years ago. Ten years ago, he had the support of Chiang Kai-shek and had thousands of people in the Southwest Development Team. Now he went to the northwest, he was probably alone, and he didn’t know the local environment, and he had no grassroots organizations, so success or failure was very difficult to say.
"In the Cultural Revolution, your principal is just a ungrateful wolf. Why not take this opportunity to rest for two years and let him feel completely relieved."
