Soong Mei-ling was very worried. When she first returned to China, Yang Yongtai came to her house to have a deep conversation with her about Zhuang Jihua. After all, Yang Yongtai has been in Chongqing for many years and has been observing Zhuang Jihua for many years, and has a deep understanding of Zhuang Jihua and his group.

"………In the past ten years, the Cultural Revolution has managed the southwest, and has broadened its tremendous support for the central government. It has also gathered a group of followers around him. Among these people are local forces in the southwest, industrialists, businessmen, scholars and experts. They feel their personal charm and agree with his political philosophy, so these people gathered around him, build the southwest, and promote social reforms. [..com]

This is just one aspect. In the army, the Cultural Revolution also had a high reputation. In the Whampoa Military Academy, he was one of the students. He made outstanding achievements in the east and the north. He advocated cooperation between the Kuomintang and the Communist Party. In fact, this proposal was many of the Huangpu classmates;

As for the beginning of the War of Resistance Against Japan, the Cultural Revolution commanded over one million troops. Under his command, these troops successively won the Guangde Victory, Xuzhou Victory, and Yucheng Victory. But once he left, the Battle of Wuhan Defense, the Five War Zone was defeated. Madam, victory would push up prestige. Through this series of victories, he pushed up the prestige of the National Government and his personal prestige.

Maybe it is because of these things that some people are worried that they think that their power should be weakened, but in fact, these actions cannot weaken his power at all, and can only push his reputation higher.

Zhuang Wenge never promised his followers official positions or money. The reason why his followers followed him was more because of his proposition. The Chairman removed his post and disbanded the Southwest Development Team. The Cultural Revolution did not respond because he also believed that the Southwest Development Team could be disbanded, but there were two points he could not accept, that was, that was, to shake the system he established, and to deal with his subordinates.

Until now, there have been no obvious mistakes in the Cultural Revolution. The punishment for the high achievements not only disappointed Huangpu classmates, but also made local generals and industrial people discontent, which would shake the chairman's prestige in the hearts of Huangpu classmates.

Madam, the influence of the Cultural Revolution was not only in the army, but also in the political and economic circles. After Liu Xiang's death, Sichuan generals had a tendency to rely on him. He personally established the Forty-Nine Army and the Expeditionary Force. He had a good relationship with most of the Huangpu classmates...."

Yang Yongtai explained to her for two hours, from the military to the political circle, then to the economic circle, and finally diplomacy. In these areas, what influences Zhuang Jihua has, and what adverse effects will have, if he wants to fight back, will have. What reactions will the military generals have, etc.

The more she heard it, the more frightened she became. She had never seen Yang Yongtai worry so much. In the last two hours, Yang Yongtai never laughed. She was always worried and explained repeatedly. It was definitely not because Zhuang Jihua had saved him.

In addition to this conversation, Soong Mei-ling still remembers that when he was a guest at the White House, Roosevelt talked about Zhuang Jihua's casualness, as if he was talking about his old friends for many years. Yang Yongtai analyzed that Roosevelt proposed to replace Zhuang Jihua, just to earn back face for the US side, and the relationship between the two was still there.

So, Soong Mei-ling immediately decided to intervene. She persuaded Chiang Kai-shek to recall Zhuang Jihua from Xi'an and reappoint him as commander of the Fifth War Zone. Zhuang Jihua did not disappoint her, and soon won a victory in northern Hubei and restored Wuhan.

After the Battle of North China, Soong Mei-ling noticed that Chiang Kai-shek was beginning to worry about Zhuang Jihua again, and Chen Guofu kept talking to Chiang Kai-shek in his ears and was too big to say. Chen Chengming seemed to be worried about Zhuang Jihua's attitude, but in fact he was jealous of Zhuang Jihua's prestige and military achievements in the army. With their repeated remarks, Chiang Kai-shek's suspicion arose again.

Soong Mei-ling also felt that this time was different from the last time, Chiang Kai-shek's attitude was relatively firm. She persuaded her twice, but Chiang Kai-shek still insisted. She had to give up temporarily.

"Madam, don't worry," Chiang Kai-shek said lightly: "I know the Cultural Revolution. I won't do anything to him, but I just let him rest for a while. In fact, this is also a love for him. He has offended too many people over the years, and comrades have a lot of opinions about him. Isn't it because of this that Liu Yinshu was victimized?"

Speaking of Liu Yinshu, Soong Mei-ling couldn't help but sigh. If Liu Yinshu was alive, Chiang Kai-shek would probably not have taken action like this. Liu Yinshu and his son were undoubtedly Zhuang Jihua's best concern.

"Who will go to the Northeast after the Cultural Revolution?" Soong Mei-ling asked again.

"Ci Xiu wants to go." Chiang Kai-shek said: "Ci Xiu has said more than once, but he still wants to work in the war zone."

"Ci Xiu may not work," Soong Mei-ling looked at Chiang Kai-shek and said. Chiang Kai-shek couldn't help but frown slightly, and was a little puzzled. Soong Mei-ling smiled: "Ci Xiu has talent, but most of the troops in the Northeast War Zone have a deep relationship with the Cultural Revolution. Ci Xiu is going, and I'm afraid these people won't listen to him."

Chiang Kai-shek was silent for a while before nodding to admit that Soong Mei-ling was right. If Zhuang Jihua was transferred, the generals of the Northeast War Zone would definitely respond strongly. Chen Cheng would definitely be regarded as one of the culprits. Chen Cheng was going to go, and the resistance would be very strong. In addition, Xiong Shihui and Chen Cheng had a bad relationship. Under the attack of both military and political parties, Chen Cheng might not be able to move forward in the Northeast.

Just as Chiang Kai-shek and Soong Mei-ling were chatting at a villa in Huangshan, Deng Yanda and Zhou Enlai were also having a conversation on the small building on the second floor of Hongyan Village.

The ceiling fan on the roof was rotating vigorously, emitting gusts of hot wind, which could not reduce the heat in the room at all. Outside the window, the sun shone fiercely on the earth, and the cement floor in the yard reflected dazzling white light. Except for the soldiers standing guard at the door, almost everyone was hiding in the room, and the whole yard was quiet.

In the heat, Zhou Enlai took off his military uniform and unbuttoned his white shirt. Deng Yanda opposite him was almost the same as him. Both of them had faint smiles on their faces, but the atmosphere in the room showed that the conversation between them was not going smoothly.

The argument just now made Deng Yanda feel a little dry. He drank a few sips of water before saying to Zhou En: "Come on, I want to know what you are thinking? The Cultural Revolution promised to cooperate with us and made a great determination. If you do this, our trust will be weakened."

This great sigh was the most difficult negotiation that Zhou En had ever experienced. Yan'an suddenly called him to inform him that Yan'an decided not to give up the occupied Mudanjiang and other places in Jixi, Jixi, and Mudanjiang. Moreover, the Eighth Route Army would also occupy a base in South Manchuria, which may be south of Tonghua. If possible, Tonghua would be occupied.

In order to explain to Deng Yanda, Yan'an then sent a long telegram. In this telegram, Yan'an analyzed the situation in the Northeast in detail after the war and pointed out that the biggest unstable factor in the situation in the Northeast was Zhuang Jihua. If Zhuang Jihua stayed in the Northeast, peace in the Northeast might be preserved. However, if Zhuang Jihua left the Northeast, there was a great possibility that a civil war broke out in the Northeast. The Kuomintang assembled a million troops in the Northeast. If the Eighth Route Army New Fourth Army were all gathered in North Manchuria, it would be inevitable that the Kuomintang would be eliminated. Only by dispersing guerrillas and cooperating with each other could it be possible to break the Kuomintang's attack.

In view of the agreement with the Democratic Socialist Party and Zhuang Jihua, Yan'an agreed to exchange it with them and exchange the base area of ​​the Hebei Plain for the South Manchuria base.

Yan'an did not mention Jixi Mudanjiang, nor did the recent actions of the Kuomintang troops in North Manchuria. Zhou Enlai knew that Yan'an was an action of recognizing the Kuomintang troops and used these to exchange for Jixi and Mudanjiang areas.

Huang Mingcheng had already reported Zhuang Jihua's reaction to the Central Committee and Chongqing. Zhou Enlai expected that Deng Yanda would come, but he didn't expect that he had just returned to Chongqing. It seemed that he was really anxious.

"Ze Sheng, I really want to know if you are so anxious because of the Cultural Revolution or yourself?" Zhou Enlai's tone was still so gentle.

Deng Yanda was stunned. Zhou Enlai looked at him with gentle eyes. He frowned and asked, "What do you mean?"

"Select your life, we jointly maintain the post-war domestic peace. To be honest, our party is very worried. Recently, Chiang Kai-shek has made frequent moves, and Xiong Shihui became the director of the Northeast Headquarters. Obviously, Chiang Kai-shek has made arrangements for the Northeast after the war. It is still unknown whether the Cultural Revolution is safe. Our party's actions are taken into account these uncertainties."

Deng Yanda shook his head: "Come on, this is inevitable that there is an excuse. We have exchanged information from the three parties. You can say hello in advance. Why do we have to create a fait accompli after doing this? Let's ask?"

This big sigh is the most difficult problem to explain in Zhou En. Deng Yanda’s problem is very sharp and even blamed. You can give it in advance, but why do you want them to investigate?

So far, the attitudes of both sides are still relatively mild and are still within the scope of discussion. Zhou Enlai sighed in his heart. It is difficult for both Deng Yanda and Zhuang Jihua to understand the grievances of Yan'an. Such a large area of ​​land in the Northeast was divided, and what was left to Yan'an was only the barren and narrow land of North Manchuria. For them, this plan of course satisfies them.

"It was our mistake to notify you in advance," Zhou Enlai still remained gentle: "But you cannot refuse to admit that our party's concerns are reasonable. The Cultural Revolution is very confident now, but he never thought that once something unexpected happens, it will cause great harm to our two parties, and we will almost have to surrender."

Deng Yanda was silent, his mind was turning rapidly. If Zhuang Jihua was successfully taken away by Chiang Kai-shek, what situation would happen in the Northeast? The Central Army needs no choice but to say that the Sichuan Army and other local forces in the Northeast will inevitably be divided, and the army belonging to the Social Democratic Party can still be saved, but its strength may be reduced. Some local generals who join the Social Democratic Party are likely to change.

"It seems that the army must be reorganized and the path that the Cultural Revolution and the ** have taken." Deng Yanda secretly decided in his heart. He looked up at Zhou Enlai: "No matter what, your party violated the agreement first. I can't pursue it, but you must give an explanation to the Cultural Revolution. He is very angry now. I think you know that he does not completely believe in your party, and in tripartite cooperation, he is the most important part."

After saying that, before Zhou En came to speak, Deng Yanda stood up and said goodbye. Zhou Enlai quickly grabbed him...
