Section 2 Shaki (5)
Jihua saw that Chiang Kai-shek's appearance was broken, and the number of enemies was too high, so he quickly remedyed it: "The British territory is not as large as Guangdong, and the population is not as large as Guangdong. One hundred thousand people is just an estimate, which is the largest number that can be sent from the UK. In fact, I think the British government may not be able to send half of the face."
As he said that, Director Zhou gave a wink, Director Zhou understood and said pretentiously: "Cultural Revolution, it seems that you don't know much about Britain. At the beginning of the European War, the expeditionary force sent by Britain to France was only 100,000, and France had to provide part of the logistics. This shows that it is really necessary to send troops to Guangdong, and 30,000 will be the sky."
"Yes, yes, Director Zhou has studied in Europe and knows more about the UK. The students' estimates are too outrageous. In fact, considering the logistical and financial factors, this number should be higher." Zhuang Jihua immediately climbed up the pole and gave Chiang Kai-shek peace of mind.
The two of them sang together, and gradually turned the number of British people into 10,000. This number made Chiang Kai-shek feel that it was not so terrible, so he began to regain face for his loss of composure just now.
"No matter whether he comes with 10,000 or 100,000, there is nothing scary. We workers and peasants, as backing the Soviet Union, will definitely win." Chiang Kai-shek sorted out his thoughts and said: "However, in the Cultural Revolution, what other conspiracies would Britain have in addition to sending troops?"
"The principal reminds him correctly. If the troops fail to send, the British will definitely turn their attention to us. There are two levels: one is within the revolutionary camp; the other is within China. However, no matter which level, his method is to bribe and encourage both hands. Buy unstable elements within the revolutionary camp and encourage domestic warlords. Therefore, the students suggest that the next step is to rectify the internal, mainly to rectify the finance and the army. The specific details have been explained to the principal in the report."
"Yes." Chiang Kai-shek nodded: "How is the matter of the Sichuan Army going?"
"Yu Peidi has already stated that he will support the rectification of the Sichuan Army. Others,..." Zhuang Jihua hesitated when he said this. He looked at Chiang Kai-shek and saw that Chiang Kai-shek was staring at him. He just said: "After the student is suspended, the work will be handed over to He Zhonghan. The current development is not known to the students."
"This is not OK. He Zhonghan does not understand the situation of the Sichuan Army. His takeover will seriously affect the progress of the work. You are still responsible for the work of the Sichuan Army. Don't hide from your leisure time." Chiang Kai-shek said with a face.
Zhuang Jihua cursed in his heart that I was the one who was the one who was the one who was the one who was the one who was doing the job. Now I will hide and fuck me.
"Where will I say hello to He Zhonghan? Although your position as the chief of intelligence has been temporarily suspended, you are still responsible for the specific work of the Sichuan Army. Jiang Xianyun is the same. People in the camp should still be cared about, don't think this is a holiday for you." Chiang Kai-shek said in the end. He spoke in a stern tone. After the suspension, Jiang Xianyun continued to work in the Qing Army Association and the ** organization, while Zhuang Jihua looked like he was enjoying the holiday. He wandered around all day, and there was no one in the dormitory.
"Yes." Zhuang Jihua and Jiang Xianyun replied at the same time.
"According to your opinion, when will the rectification of the Sichuan Army begin?" Liao Zhongkai asked.
"After Shaji, the political situation is beneficial to me. The students thought that the progress could be accelerated, but when they were showing up with Xiong Kewu, it would be better to show up in the name of the National Government." Zhuang Jihua said.
"Well, that's going to be soon." If it weren't for the Shaki tragedy, the personnel of the National Government would have been confirmed, and the rest would have been officially announced.
"Your report contains steps to rectify the Sichuan Army, but have you ever thought about the way to rectify it?" Liao Zhongkai asked again.
"Students have thought that rectifying the Sichuan Army is mainly ideological rectification; in the early stage, each regiment should be sent to each regiment. The members of the working group are mainly composed of comrades who are good at ideological work. After the soldiers' ideological rectification is completed, some military cadres will be sent, plus the original Sichuan Army cadres to form a new local command system." There was no plan for how to reorganize in the original plan, because at that time, it was not known whether it could be reorganized peacefully, so Zhuang Jihua did not list this part in detail, but only mentioned it slightly.
"Team Team? Do you have any specific candidates?" Chiang Kai-shek asked after thinking about it.
"No." Zhuang Jihua replied immediately.
"No?" Zhuang Jihua returned to Liao Zhongkai a little surprised: "Don't have any worries, say boldly, let's just refer to what you said."
"No, this is not something that students should worry about. However, according to the students' plan, the Sichuan Army mainly reorganizes ideologically, so the working team members must be good at ideological work." Zhuang Jihua did not let go, but his hint was very clear. Director Zhou, the one who is best at political and ideological work in the Whampoa Military Academy was the one who is good at political and ideological work.
Director Zhou secretly praised Zhuang Jihua for knowing how to hide his weaknesses, but said in his mouth:
"It turns out that I've been busy with this during the Cultural Revolution. I'm asking why there are a lot of articles criticizing Xiong Kewu in the newspaper these days. I've done a good job. I think the work of the Cultural Revolution is very good at doing ideological work." Zhuang Jihua's work as a Sichuan Army was secretly arranged by Chiang Kai-shek and Liao Zhongkai. If Chiang Kai-shek had not proposed it today, Director Zhou wouldn't know at all. However, their conversation and guesses have already allowed Director Zhou to understand the general process of the matter, and then think about the criticism of Xiong Kewu in the newspaper these two days.
In the article I thought, Director Zhou understood that it was only a matter of time before Xiong Kewu surrendered.
"Don't praise him, come on, the Cultural Revolution is too impatient. If you praise him, he won't know what trouble he will cause next time." Chiang Kai-shek criticized him and showed his love for his face.
"Director Zhou is the person who is the best at doing ideological work in Huangpu. Unfortunately, the party army needs to be expanded. The party army is our foundation, so Director Zhou will not participate in this work. After thinking about it, Chiang Kai-shek said, "I have made up my mind to the candidate for this task. I will tell you when the time comes. You can go back."
"Yes." Zhuang Jihua and Jiang Xianyun saluted the three giants and turned around and left.
After the two went out, Chiang Kai-shek said to Liao Zhongkai and Director Zhou: "How about you handing over this task to them when you see it?"
"I think it's OK." Liao Zhongkai immediately agreed.
"Let them partner." Director Zhou was a little surprised. He didn't know what Chiang Kai-shek sold in the gourd. Zhuang Jihua was so popular recently that Sha Jishi even had to put Jiang Xianyun's gun on him. Moreover, Jiang Xianyun's military rank was one level lower, so it was inevitable that Zhuang Jihua would be the main one, so it would be difficult for Jiang Xianyun to carry out his work.
"Well, Zhuang Jihua's victory lies in his wisdom, Jiang Xianyun's victory lies in his steadiness. Let Zhuang Jihua be the captain and Jiang Xianyun is the party representative to restrain Zhuang Jihua and stop causing any trouble." Chiang Kai-shek said so. Director Zhou could not find any doubt at all, so he agreed.
The aftermath of the Shaki incident has not yet expired, but in addition to the addition of two cruise warships at the Pearl River Estuary and a group of Scottish soldiers in skirts in Hong Kong, the British's fierceness and weakness on the outside have been fully revealed.
When the base camp discussed and responded to the notes of the British government, Liao Zhongkai insisted on a tough response. Borotin announced in a timely manner that the Soviet government would provide the Guangdong government with 50,000 rifles, 200 machine guns, 70 cannons, and corresponding ammunition. The batch of supplies had been shipped at the sea cucumber and would arrive in Guangzhou soon. At the same time, it was announced that the Soviet Union would provide the Guangdong government with 3 million rubles of economic assistance to the Guangdong government to stabilize the finances. In addition, the Soviet Union also provided 500,000 rubles of aid to the provincial and Hong Kong general strike. After reading a series of data, Borotin added that this batch of ordnance and funds would give priority to the expansion of the party army. This made Chiang Kai-shek overjoyed, but also aroused the jealousy of other armies.
Finally, the base camp decided to refuse the British note with a tough attitude, and at the same time protested to the British government, demanding that the British government severely punish the Shaki perpetrators, withdraw the warships, and compensate the economic losses of the people who died in Shaki.
The attitude of the Guangdong government has once again been highly praised by the Chinese people in China. Chen Duxiu published an article in the new issue of "New Youth", calling on young people to go to Guangdong to participate in the war against imperialism, fight for national victory and fight for the national revolution.
A large number of passionate young people flocked from North China, from Northwest, from Southwest, from East China, from Central China, to Guangdong, and to Huangpu.
The leaders of the Kuomintang suddenly discovered that the Kuomintang's prestige among the people in the country was unprecedentedly high, and the Beijing government was notorious; most people believed that the Kuomintang should replace the Beijing government and showed strong confidence in this government. The military and civilians in the province and Hong Kong increased their confidence. The Hong Kong strike continued to expand and all industries were on strike by the end of June. At the same time, the Hong Kong Chinese trading company announced to protest the British side's Shaki tragedy, and the Hong Kong Merchant Federation would strike from now on.
Hong Kong is completely paralyzed.
The Provincial and Hong Kong Strike Committee was established in Guangzhou, and Su Zhaozheng was elected as chairman of the Strike Committee. The Strike Committee issued a call for blockade of Hong Kong and not to sell rice, salt, cloth and other daily necessities to Hong Kong. This appeal was soon supported by the Guangdong government.
Liao Zhongkai wrote to the Central Committee at the right time, suggesting that the National Government be formed immediately, and this suggestion was approved by most Central Committee members.
Against this background, Zhuang Jihua's work on the Sichuan Army was progressing more smoothly. The numerous discussions in the newspaper made the soldiers who were the least concerned about politics feel that the Sichuan Army was about to come and senior generals generally lost their confidence. Zhuang Jihua's interactions with Sichuan Army generals were more frequent and smooth, Yu Peidi's attitude was more firm, and Zhang Chong hinted that as long as the "price" was appropriate, he fully supported the reorganization, and Long Guang lost his confidence, thinking that handing the troops over to the National Government was much better than roaming again. Xiong Kewu thought that
He had no idea of counterattack, and he found that he was trapped in a vicious circle. If he counterattacked, the warlords would be charged; if he allowed to develop, the morale of the troops would inevitably collapse. He had some understanding of the ideological trends of senior generals. In order to prevent the betrayal of senior cadres, he began to take measures to unite middle and lower-level cadres; but firstly, he was not given much time, and secondly, under the influence of the strong revolutionary atmosphere in Guangdong, the troops had changed their thoughts and were no longer blindly loyal to him as before.
On July 1, the National Government was announced to be established, with Wang Jingwei serving as the chairman of the National Government and the chairman of the Military Commission of the National Government, Hu Hanmin as the Minister of Foreign Affairs, and Liao Zhongkai as the Minister of Finance. Chiang Kai-shek was promoted to member of the Military Commission, ranking behind Wang, Hu and Liao.
