There was no greeting, and both sides sat down opposite each other, across the rectangular table. Although the atmosphere was not as relaxed as before, it was not nervous, and there were faint smiles on both sides' faces.

"I wonder how your party will answer the conditions we put forward last time?" Zhou Ganglai asked straight to the point.

"I really want to know what answers your party will respond to the government's request?" Chen Lifu did not answer. On the contrary, he used attack instead of defense.

Zhou Enlai smiled coldly: "Is your party really intending to indulge this behavior, provoke conflict between the Kuomintang and the Communist Party, and undermine the good situation of unity and resistance against the war?"

"What a big charge," Chen Lifu also smiled coldly: "Mr. Zhou, you are calling for robbers to catch robbers. The Taiyuan conflict was first provoked by you. The Taiyuan puppet army has already launched an attack anyway, but we said that it was us who provoked the trouble. What is this? "The commander of the Japanese First Army, Yoshimu Chichi, led more than 10,000 Japanese soldiers to flee from Datong. Commander Yan Xishan of the Second World War Zone repeatedly ordered your army to block the Japanese army, but your army allowed the Japanese army to pass, and then stopped us from pursuing the Japanese army. "What is this? Is the Eighth Route Army a ** or a puppet army?"

Zhou Enlai was clear about this matter. After Jimuzhen gave up Taiyuan, Yan Xishan ignored the fierce battle in Taiyuan City, and the Jinsui Army was far away from Jinzhong and Taiyuan. He forced the Eighth Route Army near Datong to block Jimuzhenichi. The purpose was very obvious, so that the Japanese and Eighth Route Army would consume each other, and finally the Kuomintang would pick up a ready-made bargain.

After seeing through Yan Xishan's conspiracy, He L did not block the Japanese army. As soon as Fang Jimuzhen passed Datong, he then adopted the tactic of harassing and pursuing. "Chasing along the way, although he did not annihilate the Japanese army, it caused heavy losses to the Japanese army and seized a large number of spoils. However," this move was also verbal. The Kuomintang has been accusing the Eighth Route Army of fearing the enemy and avoiding war. If Chen G had not fought a beautiful battle in Wang Tong, the accusation would have been even stronger.

The Japanese army had been gone for a week, and the Kuomintang army had just arrived late. Chiang Kai-shek used a beautiful technique this time, "returned Taiyuan occupied by the Central Army to Yan Xishan, and then ordered Yan Xishan to pursue the north with the main force of the Shanxi-Sui Army, and sent another unit to advance eastward." Yan Xishan was the Sixth Army of the Shanxi-Sui Army (under the 19th Army and the 23rd Army), the Seventh Army (under the 33rd Army and the 34th Army), and went north with the 86th Army and the 94th Army of the Central Army, the 8th Army of the Shanxi-Sui Army, the 8th Army of the Central Army, the 8th Army of the Central Army, the 80th Army, the 15th Army advanced eastward along Zhengtai Road.

The flags that these two routes publicly raised were to pursue the Japanese army, but the actual purpose was to seize territory. Wherever the army went, they first occupied the county town, disbanded the local government of GC, appointed the county magistrate, organized the local government of GM., and organized the local government of GM., and GM., and the GM. were very angry. Ye Ting led his troops to set up a blocking position on Zhengtai Road and He L set up a blocking position on the periphery of Datong. The Shanxi Jing was tense and the civil war was about to break out.

"Does your army pursue the Japanese army or take the opportunity to attack our party?" Zhou Enlai refuted Chen Lifu's accusation without hesitation: "Your army under the banner of anti-Japanese war" actually does the most important thing. "You have dissolved the anti-Japanese democratic government in our Eighth Route Army base and harmed the people in our anti-Japanese base. These are all ironclad facts."

Although Dong Bwu did not open up, he kept observing Chen Lifu. He noticed that Chen Lifu didn't care about Zhou Enlai's stern rebuttals at all. "He still looked relaxed and relaxed.

"**Pursuing the Japanese army and restoring lost territory, we must naturally restore regional administrative power. Those illegally established organizations should be banned, not to mention that government administrative organizations should be appointed by superiors." Chen Lifu faced the battle head-on this time.

Zhou Enlai raised his eyebrows: "Our Eighth Route Army New Fourth Army insisted on the War of Resistance behind enemy lines, and the military and civilians behind enemy lines shared the same breath and fate with me. During the six years of War of Resistance, they risked their lives to fight against the Japanese invaders. After winning the War of Resistance, they became an illegal government. I don't know what logic this is."

Zhou En said more and more that he was feeling stronger and he suppressed his anger, but Chen Lifu seemed to not see it. He smiled faintly: "Legality and rationality are not consistent. Besides, Xiang Shouyang and Yangquan were still in the hands of the Japanese army a month ago. The government you came to: Secondly, if there was no attack from Shandong and Henan, could you occupy these areas?"

Speaking of this, he shook his head: "No, Mr. Zhou, your troops and any government, the only purpose of existence is to exist. You dare not confront the Japanese army face to face. If you dare, you will have about 70,000 people around Datong, but the Japanese army has only 10,000 people, five times theirs, but you are watching them withdraw almost completely from Shanxi."

"This is purely slander. Our Eighth Route Army has persisted in the War of Resistance behind enemy lines for six years, restraining and eliminating the Japanese army in total tens of thousands, and strongly supporting the frontal battlefield. It can be said that our Eighth Route Army has made great contributions in the current favorable situation.

Chen Lifu's argument has been around since the beginning of the War of Resistance Against Japan, but this rotation has become even higher recently and is very marketable. The Kuomintang army has won victories one after another, annihilated hundreds of thousands of Japanese troops, and the biggest result of GCD is only one or two thousand people. This contrast is too great. "The people are most likely to be attracted by these simple numbers.

"In Wang Tong, the guerrilla corps led by General Chen G, composed of our Eighth Route Army, blocked the Japanese army for three days. This huge sacrifice was exchanged for Wang Tong's victory in the battle." Dong Bwu interrupted at the right time, and this fact proved that "as long as there is sufficient supplement," the combat effectiveness of our Eighth Route Army is not bad at all. Over the years, the government has sometimes replenished the ammunition of the Eighth Route Army's New Fourth Army. How should your party explain this situation?" He Zhonghan also interrupted: "Mr. Zhou" Mr. Dong, the Eighth Route Army's New Fourth Army is active behind enemy lines, and they need to provide them with supplies. "The cost is huge." Even so, the government has provided supplies several times."

The two sides went from territorial disputes to the combat effectiveness of the army, from military combat effectiveness, disputes to logistics supplies, and then to regimes, and no one was willing to give in because these were all things that could not be concessions.

Two hours passed, Chen Lifu looked at his watch and proposed to talk to him at the next meeting. The two sides agreed to discuss it next Tuesday. After getting on the bus, Dong B-Wucai said: "Their purpose is to drag it, to drag it into a fait accompli" and then leave it alone."

Zhou Enlai had a thick eyebrows and a deep lock. He had already noticed what Dong Bwu said, but he could not do anything even though he was aware of it. Now it was not a few years ago that the troops launched a large-scale counterattack against the Kuomintang army, which would inevitably lead to a full-scale conflict between the two parties, which was very inappropriate in politics. In addition, the Kuomintang army gathered in Shanxi, and if it really fought, the Central Committee still had no confidence in winning.

Back in Hongyan Village, before entering the house, Bo Gu led it out. "When I met, "The Central Committee called, Fu Zuoyi's troops had the intention to go south to Datong. The situation in Shanxi was critical. The Central Committee hoped that we would further contact the democratic parties and expose Chiang Kai-shek's conspiracy to ignore the national crisis and attempt to provoke civil war." Zhou Enlai did not answer and quickly walked into his office. After reading the Central Committee Telegram, he frowned and thought for a moment and said to Dong Bwu: "Old Dong, you go to visit Zhang Lan Luo Longji, Bo Gu, you go to visit Mr. Soong Ching Ling, I go to find Deng Yanda, Li Jishen, and Mr. Mei."

After the Japanese army withdrew from Shanxi, the relationship between the Kuomintang and the Communist Party suddenly became tense, and the political tide in Chongqing was surging. The Third Party has been keeping a low profile and cooperated with Zhuang Jihua to secretly develop its strength. This time, although there is no stable territory yet, the prospects are very good.

Deng Yanda and Li Jishen are also worried about the recent situation. Everyone tacitly agreed on the nature of the conflict between the two parties. "How can we resolve this crisis? The Kuomintang army won consecutive battles, Chiang Kai-shek was full of energy, and his attitude towards various parties was even more arrogant, which aroused the dissatisfaction of many democratic figures. However, the victory of the Kuomintang army on the battlefield made those democratic figures think they could be tolerated a little and tolerated Chiang Kai-shek's attitude.

During this crisis, there were many democratic figures who advised ** to adopt a concession strategy. Some people further supported the Kuomintang's proposition, believing that Yan'an should give up **, and the Eighth Route Army and the New Fourth Army were incorporated into ** combat sequence. This suggestion was naturally rejected by **.

"Enlai, we are also worried about the recent situation." When Zhou En arrived, Deng Yanda and Li Jishen were also talking about how to deal with the current civil war crisis. Neither of them came up with a good idea: "The battlefield situation is very good, and Chiang Kai-shek has become stronger. To be honest, it is a mistake for your party to steal Taiyuan. Neither Yan Xishan nor Chiang Kai-shek could accept it. Your party occupied Taiyuan, but instead alerted the enemy and aroused Chiang Kai-shek's alert."

Deng Yanda has been inspired by the hidden development of hidden power in recent years. He was puzzled by the Eighth Route Army's robbery of Taiyuan, because Taiyuan is not a small county town" is a provincial capital. If Chiang Kai-shek doesn't rob, Yan Xishan must rob. Originally, the Central Committee's large-scale entry into Shanxi would definitely arouse Yan Xishan's resistance, and GCD can join forces with Yan Xishan to fight against Chiang Kai-shek. This robbery of Taiyuan forced Yan Xishan to Chiang Kai-shek and disagreed with Deng Yanda's verdict.

"The essence of the conflict in Shanxi is the continuation of Chiang Kai-shek's dictatorship policy. Politically, he refused to establish a coalition government and suppressed the democratic movement of the Kuomintang-controlled areas. In military, regardless of the Japanese army's defeat in Shandong and the weak North China, he did not take the opportunity to attack North China." The anti-general army was transferred to deal with our Eighth Route Army New Fourth Army. We received information that Chiang Kai-shek Yan Xishan had ordered the Yanbei Fu Zuoyi troops to go south and cooperate with the Jiangyan army heading north from Taiyuan to attack Datong.

Deng Yanda and the others have not grasped this situation yet, but since Zhou Bulai has said it, it means they have already grasped the specific information. Li Jishen frowned: "Enlai, what are you planning?"

"Our party hopes to eliminate the civil war," Zhou Enlai said slowly. The Shanxi civil war was about to break out. More importantly, this restricted the main force of the Eighth Route Army. The strategy of northward development formulated by the Central Committee was greatly restrained. "The Central Committee sent ** to Shanxi, Chaji, and Xu Xiangqian, who served as deputy commander of the New Fourth Army, had not yet been in place. More importantly, with the defeat of the Japanese army, the Japanese army launched a large-scale reinforcement of North China, and the space for activity behind enemy lines became smaller and smaller. After Shanxi recovered, "whether the Eighth Route Army and the New Fourth Army concentrated in Shanxi were going, and the Central Committee has not yet concluded.

"Of course, we are not afraid of civil war." If Chiang Kai-shek must fight, we can only accompany him." Zhou Enlai's attitude was very tough.!~!
