After Li Zhilong left Wuhan, he first arrived in Shanghai. At that time, the situation in Shanghai was not good. The concession police station, the Kuomintang, and the Qinghong Gang joined forces to pursue the Communist Party. Li Zhilong quickly left Shanghai and went to Hong Kong. In recent years, he has been traveling around Hong Kong, Shanghai and Qingdao, and his life has barely maintained. After several years of ups and downs, it was only a few steps from the temple to the grassland. He was fierce and passionate, and finally gave way to the firewood, rice, oil and salt. Li Zhilong's heart was a little weak. He thought he would go on like this, but the sound of the cannon in September 181 ignited his heart for worrying about the country and the people.

Then the news of Zhuang Jihua returning to China came, which made him restless. He felt keenly that Zhuang Jihua must have done something when he returned to China at this time, and his heart began to move. But if he didn't go to Zhuang Jihua, he was a little hesitant. On the one hand, he was reluctant to part with Pan Huiqin and his son, and on the other hand, he was not sure what Chiang Kai-shek would do to him. His mind was not hidden from Pan Huiqin. Women may not be rational, but they felt more direct than men. Pan Huiqin instinctively believed that as long as Zhuang Jihua was there, there would be no problem, so she advised Li Zhilong to go to Nanjing, so Li Zhilong appeared outside Zhuang Jihua's door.

"Zai Tian, ​​I think you should come to me just." After hearing Li Zhilong talk about his experience in the past few years, Zhuang Jihua couldn't help but want to summon him into his team.

"I want to come. The country is in danger, and I want to come out to serve the country, but..." Li Zhilong showed a hint of difficulty. He and Chiang Kai-shek were politically opposed, and after April 12, he wrote some anti-Chengdu articles.

"I'll talk about the principal," Zhuang Jihua remembered Chiang Kai-shek's reception today, and not only hesitated: "Zai Tian, ​​I have something to ask clearly. You don't have any contact with the Communist Party of China now, right?"

"Why, you're starting to have a bad mood now?" A hint of mockery appeared on the corner of Li Zhilong's mouth.

"That's not, in the field," Zhuang Jihua said lightly: "Some things we must admit, whether we want to or not, it has become a reality for the two parties to become enemies. It is best not to have any contact with the other side, otherwise it will cause a lot of surprises and affect the local affairs I am doing."

After Zhuang Jihua finished speaking, he looked at Li Zhilong solemnly: "You must tell me the truth, so that I can be prepared."

"What are you going to do? What exactly is the Resources Committee doing?" Li Zhilong asked.

So Zhuang Jihua told him about his plan being reduced.

"Strategic base. Strategic base," Li Zhilong said twice and smiled: "I just said that there must be something wrong with Zhuang Wenge when he came back, okay, very good."

Li Zhilong stood up excitedly and walked back and forth in the house.

"So, I don't want to get involved in bipartisan disputes anymore, and it's hard to do our local affairs without the support of the principal, so... in the field, you have to tell me the truth, and in addition, you have to let some things go. Let him go to the past."

Li Zhilong knew what Zhuang Jihua said. Seeing his expression, Zhuang Jihua advised again: "What's the point of being in the field for so many years? Let's forget it. It's boring to think that the past is boring. Why don't we look forward to it together and start a new career."

Li Zhilong slowly raised his head and looked at Zhuang Jihua: "I have let go of these things in the Cultural Revolution. The reason why I am unwilling to come out to do things is because of the Cultural Revolution. I also have requirements that I will not participate in the actions against the Communist Party."

"I won't participate." Zhuang Jihua smiled: "But I have to tell the principal about your affairs. Don't worry, he probably already knows that you are here with me."

Li Zhilong was stunned: "Why, he doesn't even believe you?"

"Who knows? Don't worry, it's nothing." Zhuang Jihua smiled, grabbed the phone, just dialed a number and stopped, turned to Li Zhilong and said, "I'm afraid the principal will see you tomorrow, so you must be prepared."

Li Zhilong smiled slightly: "I understand, I won't cause you trouble."

"Just understand."

Zhuang Jihua answered the phone: "Xuebing, have the principal slept? Oh, then please answer the phone."

After a while, Zhuang Jihua said: "Principal, Zai Tian Zai is here. I want to invite him to join the Southwest Development Team. OK, I will tell him."

Zhuang Jihua put down the phone and turned around to Li Zhilong, patted his shoulder: "You go to see the principal tomorrow, and he basically agreed. The purpose of seeing you is to talk. Remember my words, a real man can bend and stretch, and today's bend is for tomorrow's stretch."

Li Zhilong smiled slightly: "Don't worry."

Li Zhilong reassured Zhuang Jihua, but Zhuang Jihua just couldn't let it go. Li Zhilong was very clear about his grudges against Chiang Kai-shek, and his temper also made him worry, so he personally sent him to see Chiang Kai-shek the next day, but was stopped at the door, and Chiang Kai-shek met Li Zhilong alone.

Zhuang Jihua was waiting outside, and there were many officials waiting outside like him, but Zhuang Jihua didn't know much. He was considering whether to have a good relationship with them. He was trapped, but he found an old acquaintance coming from outside.

"Yunnong," said Dai Li, who was greeting him, but he was a little surprised. Why did Dai Li look a little muted?

"Senior," Dai Li quickly came over and was very respectful.

"What's wrong with you?" Zhuang Jihua would not be blinded by Dai Li's appearance. Although the current secret service is very small, it won't be long before he will become the largest secret service organization in the country, and Dai Li will also become one of the most powerful people in the Kuomintang: "We are always in love. Alas, let me ask you, who do you plan to send me?"

"Senior, the principal has given the order," Dai Li took out a piece of information from the official document and handed it to Zhuang Jihua: "Please take a look, this is the local people I sent."

Zhuang Jihua did not answer: "Put it, put it away, the people you sent must be smart and capable people, I can trust them." As he said, he looked him up and down: "Why have you become a little unrecognizable after not seeing you for a few years? "I am not the same as before when I was the senior." Dai Li smiled: "In front of the senior, Dai Li will always be the Dai Li back then."

Anyone who believes this is equivalent to believing that the wolf has changed to graze. Zhuang Jihua shook his head: "I left like this, it is already a blessing that I didn't implicate you. However, it seems that you have experienced it and know how to hide your weaknesses."

"The seniors' teachings that were taught by the past were never forgotten."

"Hey, I said, Yunnong, if you do this again, I will never dare to talk to you again. Our friendship will be over." Zhuang Jihua smiled at Dai Li half-true and half-falsely: "We used to be friends. Now we are friends. If you want to do like others, then I have nothing to say."

"Where is the senior who says it. I respect my senior from the bottom of my heart, and it is definitely not perfunctory." Yesterday Dai Li saw with his own eyes how Chiang Kai-shek treated Zhuang Jihua. Even if he put aside the past, he did not dare to be rude to Zhuang Jihua. However, he changed his tone and said, "It's great that senior can come back, but the principal really has nothing to say to the senior. During the years, during the reign of the festival, people sent people to the senior's home to express condolences. The only senior in the Huangpu Department can receive such attention from the principal."

Zhuang Jihua was secretly shocked, but his face was very emotional: "Oh, I am really ashamed of the principal's love. I am...what to say that. I can take it and can't let it go. Forget it, let's not talk about this. For Yunnong, your secret service should develop a layout of information on Japan. It is still time to send people over now. Your attention cannot be just focused on the Communist Party. You also have to take out a pair of glasses and stare at the Japanese."

"Yes. I have been considering this issue recently, but I haven't found a way." Dai Li said sincerely: "I would like to ask seniors for advice."

"I suggest you set up a school specifically for Japanese locals. In the school, all students and teachers live according to the Japanese lifestyle. In addition, there are many Japanese descendants in the United States and Brazil. In recent years, the United States has suffered financial difficulties. Many of these people have returned to China. This may be a way." Zhuang Jihua whispered.

Dai Li's eyes lit up, but before he could speak, he heard Zhuang Jihua say: "Well, Yunnong, I'll remind you that Japan should take the method of fishing big fish on a long line. The war between the two countries cannot afford to fight, and the chess pieces are not used. If the war is together, it will be effective immediately."

Dai Li nodded: "What the senior said is that it's time to make a layout."

The two chatted for a while, and Li Zhilong came out, holding a set of colonel uniforms in their hands. Zhuang Jihua said a few more casually, saying goodbye to Dai Li and greeted Li Zhilong. Before he could speak, Deng Wenyi came out: "Cultural Revolution, the principal will meet."

Zhuang Jihua smiled bitterly at Li Zhilong and went in with Deng Wenyi.

"Li Zhilong is a talent, and I need to use it. Although he has opposed me before, as long as he can get lost, I will not blame him." Chiang Kai-shek stood at the desk with his hands behind his back and said to Zhuang Jihua.

"I am a representative of the country and thank the principal for his magnanimity." When Chiang Kai-shek did not sit, Zhuang Jihua had to stand with him.

"But he is different from you," said Chiang Kai-shek, and Zhuang Jihua quickly spoke: "Principal, Zai Tian is not a Communist Party. After he declared in the newspaper that he had left the Communist Party, the Communist Party would never be able to contact him again."

"I know, but I'm worried that if someone comes to contact him in the future? When the Communist Party of China is at its end, you have to catch a straw, so you should be careful and remind him at all times. I'll give him to you. You are good friends and you will be together in the future. You should remind him more."

After Chiang Kai-shek finished speaking, he looked at Zhuang Jihua, who immediately replied: "I will, principal, I promise the principal that I will not fight against the Communist Party, but I do not support them and will not contact them."

Zhuang Jihua understood that what Chiang Kai-shek said was Li Zhilong, but it also included a warning to him.

"When I believe you," Chiang Kai-shek smiled with satisfaction: "But be careful with your subordinates. If you relax, he will relax a foot."

"Thank you for your advice, Principal." Zhuang Jihua replied with a smile.

"When will you go to Hangzhou?" Chiang Kai-shek showed a concern again: "After the Hangzhou area is finished, go home."

"Yes, thank the principal for his concern." Zhuang Jihua didn't know whether Dai Li told him that Dai Li was taking charge of his own or Chiang Kai-shek's instructions. If it was Chiang Kai-shek's instructions, it would be too conventional, so he decided not to reveal this matter for the time being. "Look, the principal is really good to you. He came back and was the colonel. At that time, you only had a major, but then you were promoted to the colonel and promoted two levels in a row." After leaving the gate of Qilu, Zhuang Jihua said to Li Zhilong with a smile.
