Birds of a feather flock together; Zhuang Jihua had to accept it. He spent a lot of time in Shanghai to motivate more than a dozen experts. Weng Wenhao and Qian Changzhao called a large number of experts in a letter, Zhu Kezhen, president of the Central University, Wu Yunchu, chemical expert industrialist, Yan Renguang, aviation expert Qian Changzuo, transportation expert Huang Boqiao and others rushed from all over the country.

News of the establishment of the Resources Committee quickly attracted the attention of all parties, especially foreigners, but the focus was different.

"…. This time the Chinese government is determined to cheer up the economy that was destroyed by war and floods, and invited experts from various aspects to offer suggestions..." -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

"…. Chairman Chiang Kai-shek served as director of the resource committee. This fact itself proves that the government attaches great importance to this committee. The outside world estimates that the committee's primary task is to rectify finance and agree to the current chaotic Chinese currency..." -------------The Wall Street Journal

"…We must note that General Zhuang Jihua, known as the famous general, was appointed as deputy director of the Resources Committee, which shows that this committee is a committee preparing for war, targeting our great Japanese Empire..." -------Japan Asahi Shimbun

"The purpose of the Resources Committee is to investigate national resources to facilitate national development. The most fundamental thing is to develop the economy and help people's livelihood. It is not targeting anyone or any country. If anyone thinks so, he can only be guilty. As for me, I have been away from the military for a long time. Being a soldier is the past, and this is not a secret, everyone knows it."

Zhuang Jihua talked to reporters and sarcastically mocked the Japanese. After a few days of meetings, many more work was added. Wu Dingchang, Ma Yinchu, Xu Xinliu and others proposed that the current priority is to rectify finance, unify currency, and end the current chaotic currency situation in the country.

At this time, the local currency was very chaotic. The most common ones were Xiaoyang issued by the central government and Dayang issued by the Beiyang government. In order to distinguish these two currencies, they were called Yuan Datou and Sun Xiaotou respectively, because they were printed with the portraits of Yuan Shikai and Sun Yat-sen respectively. In addition, warlords in various provinces were issuing currencies, including Fengbao in the northeast and Jinbao in Shanxi. This is a relatively famous local currency, and other regions. For example, in Guangdong, Zhuang Jihua was going to Sichuan, where there were currencies. Such currency greatly hindered commercial activities and hindered national unity.

The suggestions of Wu Dingchang, Ma Yinchu and others were supported by Song Ziwen. Song Ziwen proposed a unified currency as soon as the Northern Expedition ended. Unfortunately, the resistance was heavy, and warlords from various factions opposed it, and even Chiang Kai-shek had no choice. Now that the Central Plains War was won, Feng Yuxiang's Northwest Army completely collapsed. Yan Xishan and Li Zongren were greatly weakened, and Zhang Xueliang threw away the Northeast. The votes also disappeared. Now the time for the state to issue unified currency is ripe.

Chiang Kai-shek immediately accepted their suggestions and took this task as his current main task, with him personally taking charge of it, and Song Ziwen was responsible for the specific affairs.

Zhuang Jihua's job is to form and direct the Southwest Development Team. This name has caused a lot of debate. It is better to call the team than to call the team, but Zhuang Jihua believes that calling the team is small and not easy to attract others' attention. Chiang Kai-shek immediately understood what he meant and accepted it immediately. Two deputy directors, Weng Wenhao and Qian Changzhao, stayed in Nanjing to preside over the work of the committee.

After being interviewed by reporters, Zhuang Jihua arrived at Chiang Kai-shek's official residence. After entering the door, he saw a young officer sitting on the sofa beside him. When Zhuang Jihua came in, the officer stood up and saluted him. Zhuang Jihua subconsciously replied, and only halfway up his hand found that he was not wearing a military uniform, so he put his hand down again.

Chiang Kai-shek waved to Zhuang Jihua: "Cultural Revolution, come here, I will introduce you to me. This is Teng Jie, a classmate in the fourth period. Teng Jie, this is the senior Zhuang Cultural Revolution in the first period."

"Report to the principal, I know Senior Zhuang." Teng Jie reported loudly.

"Haha," Zhuang Jihua couldn't help laughing: "I should know me. I was their perverted examiner back then, and the examination room specifically made things difficult for them."

Chiang Kai-shek was stunned and then laughed: "Okay, just get to know each other. Once the Cultural Revolution, Sichuan affairs will be complicated, and you will definitely not be able to do it alone. I want Teng Jie to be your assistant. What do you think?"

Chiang Kai-shek rarely spoke to his subordinate students in such a tone, especially with such personnel arrangements. Teng Jie was slightly stunned. He now understood why He Zhonghan and the others always said that Zhuang Jihua was the first in the principal's heart. In this tone, few Huangpu students could achieve it even if they were teachers.

"Okay, the person the principal likes is definitely not wrong," Zhuang Jihua agreed immediately, as if he had no other idea at all.

"Teng Jie, the situation in Sichuan is very complicated. The Cultural Revolution shoulders the burden. You must assist him well." Chiang Kai-shek said to Teng Jie again: "Start the situation in Sichuan and prepare for the war of resistance."

"Yes, Senior Zhuang has always been a role model for Huangpu students and a role model for us. Students must be good assistants to seniors and build a southwest anti-Japanese base." Teng Jie's body was straight and his voice was loud.

"It's so sour, so stingy." Zhuang Jihua stood up and walked to Teng Jie: "We will work together in the future. You will understand me in the future. I only have one requirement. I must tell the truth in everything. Even if the sky falls, I must tell the truth. I have something wrong. You must dare to quarrel with me. In the past, Mengguo, Shoushan, and Junshan have quarreled with me, and Xue Yue almost knocked me off the horse."

"I'm telling the truth, senior may not know, Teng Jie never tells lies. Among Huangpu classmates, senior is the first person I admire, especially after seeing the senior's countermeasures, the backwards are even more impressed." Teng Jie said without any hesitation.

"Okay, Teng Jie, Brother Candidate has entered Sichuan, and you must also enter Sichuan in advance. Whether the principal's idea can achieve the past year is very important. We must take advantage of the conflict between Liu Xiang and Liu Wenhui, so you have to enter Sichuan now. I may have to wait a month before I can go there, but when I arrive, you must hand me a situation report, a report on the political and military situation in Sichuan. Brother Candidate will also give me a report like this. This may be a bit difficult for you, but you have to do your best to complete it."

"Yes, I guarantee to complete the task." Teng Jie replied with his chest straight.

Chiang Kai-shek nodded and said to Zhuang Jihua again: "You were the major general in the 26th year of the Republic of China."

Zhuang Jihua nodded, and Chiang Kai-shek continued: "I should have been promoted to lieutenant general after the Niu Xing fight. I originally wanted to wait for you to return to the team to announce it together. But then..., let's do this, now I'm regaining my military status, and my military rank is still a major general."

Zhuang Jihua thought it was good, and he would inevitably move troops in the future, so he agreed, "Thank you, Principal for training."

"In addition, the Cultural Revolution." Chiang Kai-shek thought about it before saying, "I know you are unwilling to deal with the Communist Party. Okay, I won't force you, but there is also a Communist Party in Sichuan. You go to build factories, and the Communist Party is best at developing among workers, so we must be wary of Dai Li."

As Chiang Kai-shek said, Dai Li appeared in the room like a ghost, and Zhuang Jihua felt very surprised. Why didn't he see him when he came in just now?

"Principal." Dai Li did not walk in after entering the room, but stood respectfully by the door.

"The Cultural Revolution entered Sichuan, and the Secret Service also wanted to send people, and the Communist Party was making a big fuss in Sichuan.

"Yes, principal."

Zhuang Jihua frowned, feeling a little uncomfortable. Is this dealing with ** or monitoring me? I'm afraid there are both. Since that's the case, don't be polite: "Principal, there's something I want to explain in person."

"You said. You said." Chiang Kai-shek's face was expressionless, and he could not see any changes in his emotions.

"Does the people from the Secret Service listen to me or do their own things in Sichuan?"

"Sichuan, you are the general manager. They will listen to you, and the party, government, military and police will be given to you." Chiang Kai-shek was not ambiguous at all.

Zhuang Jihua was silent for a while before saying: "During the Great Revolution, the left had radical problems, and our Kuomintang also had them. The situation in Sichuan is complicated and it is difficult to explain clearly. So I asked the principal to give me the right to deal with the situation on the occasion. If the people from the Secret Service disobey my order, I have the right to deal with it."

Chiang Kai-shek hesitated for a moment and finally nodded. While they were talking, Dai Li didn't say a word, always maintaining the same appearance as he had just entered the door.

Zhuang Jihua looked relieved, looked at Dai Li, and then said to Chiang Kai-shek: "Principal, there is nothing else to do. I'll leave if I have nothing to do."

This was another unique move, but Chiang Kai-shek was not concerned, but instead laughed: "If you have something so urgent, you can't wait for me."

"Principal, I'm so busy now that I can't help but split myself into two pieces. I'll go to Hangzhou tomorrow. After Hangzhou is over, I'll have to go to Beijing and Tianjin. To be honest, I haven't returned home yet, and I don't know how my family is going." Zhuang Jihua remembered that he had been abroad for five years. He was afraid that Chiang Kai-shek would find his address. Although he had written a letter to his home, he never left an address on the credibility, and he didn't know how my family has been doing over the years. In addition, there is Liu Yinshu...

When he thought of this name, he felt a little painful. Where have she been in the past years? What are she doing? Why did she not reply to dozens of letters to Liu's place? (Military school)

"Well, it's time to go back and have a look. OK, I won't keep you anymore. Teng Jie, go with the Cultural Revolution."

After they left, Chiang Kai-shek pondered for a moment and made a gentle gesture, and Dai Li immediately arrived in front of him.

"Principal, the secret service office listens to the Cultural Revolution, but the Cultural Revolution has always been ruthless to the Communist Party..."

"I know, that's why I asked you to send someone. Remember, your task is to deal with the Communist Party, but you cannot interfere with the major events of the Cultural Revolution. If you have something to let him know, but you don't need to tell him some things." Chiang Kai-shek said lightly, and Dai Li stopped talking immediately.

Late at night, Zhuang Jihua took a car back to his residence. Under the sharp headlights, he saw the figure in front of the door. Although he hadn't seen him for five years, he still quickly recognized him.

"Stop! Park!"

Before the car could stop, Zhuang Jihua pushed open the car door and got out of the car and walked towards the lonely figure.
Chapter completed!
