The plane hovered over Peking, and the Beiping under the wings was clear and clear in the warm sunshine. The bright yellow Forbidden City was mysterious and spectacular. Chiang Kai-shek asked the plane to lower the altitude so that it could see more clearly the ancient capital of the Six Dynasties.

The traces of war are clearly visible even in the air. Outside the city walls of Gundam in Beiping, there are collapsed houses and crisscrossing trenches everywhere in Mentougou Daxing Tongzhou. Black smoke emerges from several lonely chimneys, indicating that the city's production is still in progress.

All this was the result of an unscrupulous battle. Chiang Kai-shek sighed softly. From Peking, he could imagine Tianjin, his mood became heavier. Soong Mei-ling seemed to feel his emotions, gently held his hand, and whispered that everything would be fine.

Hopkins and Weidemai were also on the plane. They were in a very relaxed mood. Even on the plane, they could clearly see that the colorful flags were everywhere around Nanyuan Airport, and the dark heads were covered with roads from Nanyuan to the city.

Chiang Kai-shek's body had just left the cabin door. Before he waved his hand, the crowd waiting at the airport cheered like a tsunami. The sound was so huge that it almost scared Chiang Kai-shek. Looking up, Zhuang Jihua, Tang Enbo, Sun Lian Zhong, Xiong Bin, Stilwell and other senior generals of the North China War Zone and officials of the Beiping Municipal Government were already standing below, while in the distance there were a large group of people, rivers of Beiping celebrities, and further farther there was a row of neat square formations.

After getting off the plane, Zhuang Jihua and Tang Enbo Stilwell came forward to salute Chiang Kai-shek. Chiang Kai-shek swept away his worries and chatted with the generals with a smile. Soong Mei-ling was accompanied by the side, and the officials who came with Chiang Kai-shek also got off the plane one after another. When Zhuang Jihua shook hands with Hopkins, the two of them gave their eyes.

Chiang Kai-shek had already telegrammed Zhuang Jihua for the purpose of Hopkins to China. It was precisely because of him that Zhuang Jihua designed a grand welcome ceremony today.

"Mr. Hopkins" welcomes to Peking." Zhuang Jihua smiled.

Zhuang Jihua's smile was very gentle, Hopkins felt no pressure at all, and he also smiled: "I wanted to meet the general very early, but unfortunately I had no chance. Today I finally got what I wanted." Zhuang Jihua gently tapped the fork: "It's my reason. Military affairs are busy and I have no time to clone it. But now, the threat to us is getting smaller and smaller. We have plenty of time to discuss some things that are crucial to our future." Zhuang Jihua's casualness made Hopkins stunned. Before he could ask him what important things to discuss, Zhuang Jihua walked towards Wei Demai. In terms of military rank, Wei Demai is a three-star general. Compared with the rank of "Chinese" **, Zhuang Jihua's rank is higher than that of him, but he is the chief of staff of the Chinese theater, and his position is higher than that of Zhuang Jihua. Hopkins watched Zhuang Jihua with interest. He had heard that the Chinese general valued face very much.

Zhuang Jihua saluted Wei Demai without hesitation, and at the same time smiled. Hopkins felt that the smile was less etiquette than before.

"General, congratulations on you for an unprecedented victory." Wei Demai spoke first, and Zhuang Jihua smiled: "General, this is our common victory, oh, you don't know, General Li Mei is angry with me." He was already anxious to blow Hirohito down the ground."

Weidemai laughed, except for the three airports in Jiaodong, Shandong Airport was completed, and the huge b29 bomber entered the airport near Qingdao, Jinan. Li Mei proposed a bombing plan, first bombing Tokyo, with the goal of 11 Saki Heavy Industry: secondly bombing Fukuoka, the target of Hachiman Ironmaking Station here: the third target is Yokosuka Combined Fleet Base.

In order to realize this plan... Li Mei asked the United States to add 80 b29s and 120 b25s on the basis of having 24 b29s. Weidemai supported his plan, but U.S. Admiral Kim believed that taking off from Shandong to bomb Japan is very short, but the logistics is very long. All materials must be transported from Yangon to Shandong, which needs to cross the entire China. It is better to take off from Saipan in comprehensive consideration.

Marshall didn't want to strengthen China's strength, so he agreed with General Jin's opinion and compressed the plane requested by Li Mei in half. Li Mei simply didn't ask for it and supplemented it with the Chinese-made B17. After conquering Tianjin, Li Mei had already assembled more than 600 heavy bombers and 1,400 Mustang fighters in Shandong and Henan, and American soldiers chewing gum were spread all over the rubber line.

As soon as the Battle of North China ended, Li Mei couldn't wait to demand an action, but Zhuang Jihua firmly disagreed. Zhuang Jihua asked him to wait another month to be more logistical.

Zhuang Jihua's concern was that after the Battle of North China, the theater faced unprecedented pressure, and various materials filled the two railways of Jinpu and Pinghan: Once the bombing against Japan was launched, it would inevitably squeeze the already tight transportation capacity.

What bothered Li Mei was that his command was assigned to the command of the North China War Zone and was commanded by Zhuang Jihua.

However, Li Mei was not the one who was waiting to be captured. He bypassed Zhuang Jihua and protested directly to Wei Demai. However, in this matter, Wei Demai supported Zhuang Jihua. Wei Demai did not support Zhuang Jihua's plan, but believed that Li Mei should not bypass Zhuang Jihua, and that the US officials must obey the command of the Chinese general.

Zhuang Jihua returned to Chiang Kai-shek and surrounded Chiang Kai-shek and Soong Mei-ling, who was waiting for the celebrity in Peking. Chiang Kai-shek suddenly remembered something and turned his head and asked, "Why didn't you see Liangzhen? Is it in Tangshan?"

Zhuang Jihua said in silence: "No, Liangzhen coughed up blood two days ago and almost fainted. The result of being sent to the General Hospital of the War Zone was acute tuberculosis, and he is currently hospitalized for treatment in the General Hospital of the War Zone." Chiang Kai-shek stopped, turned his head to look at Zhuang Jihua, and asked with concern after passing the meeting: "Is it important? Do you want me to go and have a look?"

Zhuang Jihua shook his head and said, "This disease is contagious. The principal can send someone to visit. It will be dangerous for you to go there in person."

Soong Mei-ling frowned slightly. She looked at Chiang Kai-shek and then at Zhuang Jihua, and smiled sweetly: "Let's do this, Cultural Revolution, I'm going to visit the wounded anyway, and go and have a look."

Zhuang Jihua nodded hesitantly, but he still added with some concern: "Madam is going to visit, so I can't stop him. However, Madam, the infection of this disease is indeed very strong, and the theater command has only visited General Stilwell and I."

Tuberculosis was almost incurable before the emergence of penicillin, especially in urgent need of tuberculosis, which was almost certain to die. Therefore, Zhuang Jihua did not agree with Chiang Kai-shek's visit, but Chiang Kai-shek's reaction, and then Soong Mei-ling spoke, he understood that Chiang Kai-shek was worried about whether Yu Ji was under house arrest or detained. The so-called illness was just an excuse: so he could only agree.

Chiang Kai-shek's brows froze, and Soong Mei-ling smiled and was still gentle: "It's nothing, are those doctors and nurses different? Besides, I'll be careful."

Having said this, Zhuang Jihua stopped dissuading him, but Stilwell stood up and persuaded: "Madam, be careful. It's better to wait a few more days. I asked his attending doctor Dr. Gregan. It's more appropriate to visit him after his condition has eased in a few days."

Chiang Kai-shek looked at Stilwell with a little surprise, and Zhuang Jihua immediately explained: "Liangzhen's condition is serious. After Chief of Staff Xu sent him, I invited Dr. Gregan from the US Military Hospital in Shandong to serve as his attending doctor."

Hearing this, Chiang Kai-shek breathed a sigh of relief, feeling very regretful. Yu Jishi suddenly fell ill, not only Zhuang Jihua was very embarrassed, but even Feng Gui, who had always been calm, was a little panicked. Yu Jishi's current position was very subtle. Once he had any accidents, it might lead to Chiang Kai-shek making a wrong judgment and attacking Zhuang Jihua in advance. At that time, Zhuang Jihua was passive. So Soong Mei-ling proposed to visit, and Zhuang Jihua could no longer stop him. Stilwell interjected this sentence and invisibly helped Zhuang Jihua's help, which made him feel moved.

Soong Mei-ling smiled faintly at Chiang Kai-shek: "It's okay, I often visit such patients and have long been resistant."

A danger was resolved secretly. Chiang Kai-shek didn't say anything else and turned his head to ask Tang Enbo: "Enbo, which unit is the one to be inspected today?"

"Reporting to Chairman" Tang Enbo's expression was very serious: "He is an officer and soldier of the 6th Division of the 13th Army of the 31st Army, commanded by the commander Zhang Xuezhong.,

Tang Enbo obviously didn't know the complicated conflict between Chiang Kai-shek and Zhuang Jihua now, but his answer made Chiang Kai-shek feel much more at ease. After restoring Pingjin, the troops that had previously surrounded Peiping, except for the Thirty-first Army, all the remaining troops heading to Yidong, and Zhuang Jihua didn't even let them enter the city.

However, the Northeast Army, the 51st Army, the New Eighth Army and the 112th Army were still staying in Tongzhou, just one foot away from Peiping.

Zhuang Jihua reorganized the army, and Tang Enbo also reorganized the army. The 31st Army was not all the direct lineage of the Central Army. Among them, the 85th Army and the 29th Army were not the Central Army. Tang Enbo defeated them all and reorganized them: the Honorary Sixth Division was composed of injured veterans of the 31st Army, with Shi Jue, deputy commander of the 13th Army as the division commander.

Then Chiang Kai-shek met with celebrities from Peking at the airport, including Stu Leiden and Liang Sicheng, as well as Jiang Menglin, the former president of Peking University who returned to Peking in advance.

"My friends, today you welcome my wife and me here, but in fact, what you are here is the legal system of the Republic of China! Welcome our victory! The restoration of Peking is, this is a great victory in the founding of the country in the War of Resistance Against Japan! This is very encouraging! But I still want to say that the victory of the War of Resistance Against Japan is only a small step on our road to the founding of the country! The purpose of our War of Resistance Against Japan is not only to drive away the invaders! What is more important is to achieve national unity! The nation's nationalism is the construction of China!

To realize the Three People's ideology, we must unswervingly follow the path guided by the founding father of the nation, and not be shaken at all! The founding father once told us...,..." Chiang Kai-shek made a long speech, from the restoration of Peking to the founding of the country in the War of Resistance, to how to realize the Three People's ideology, to the road of founding under the guidance of Sun Yat-sen, and his speech was interrupted by cheering people from time to time, which made Chiang Kai-shek particularly excited.@.
