Section 2 Chadong Incorporation (3)
The room where Zhuang Jihua lives is not big. There are simply a few chairs and a coffee table in the living room, and there is not even a sofa. After Zhuang Jihua let Huang Shao in, he asked Du Yuming to take Song Yunfei and Wu Ziniu to another room.
"Does Seishiro Itagaki know?" After Huang Shao and Du Yuming and Song Yunfei left the room, the first sentence was very serious.
"I heard that, but I don't know very well. I seem to be a soldier." Zhuang Jihua said, looking at Dai Li beside him. When he saw that the person following Huang Shao was actually him, he decided to let Du Yuming avoid this conversation because he did not go to Chadong and there was no need to get in.
Dai Li sat next to Huang Shao in silence. He felt the doubts in Zhuang Jihua's eyes. He knew the agreement between Zhuang Jihua and Chiang Kai-shek, but this time there was nothing he could do, so he could only rely on him.
"Ichishiro Ichiro is a senior staff officer of the Japanese Kwantung Army. He planned the September 18th Incident and is now the head of the Fengtian secret service agency. However, he has been to Tianjin since October last year to preside over the so-called work in North China." Huang Shao said heavily that a large part of his mission was to deal with Itagaki Seishro Ichiro: "This work in North China is to instigate the Chinese team. He contacted Duan Qirui, Wu Peifu, Sun Chuanfang, Zhang Jingyao and other groups of defeated Beiyang players, and wanted to instigate the old subordinates through them to carry out the work in North China. The chairman has been on guard against this. In January this year, Qian Yongming sent north with his handwritten letter, asking Duan Qirui and Wu Peifu to go south. Duan Qirui has already gone south. Wu Peifu's attitude is very clear, and he supports the National Government's War of Resistance and will never collude with the Japanese. Sun Chuanfang also closed the door to thank the guests. Only Zhang Jingyao's attitude is ambiguous. We estimate that he may collude with the Japanese."
Zhuang Jihua listened silently. Huang Shao said so much, but in fact he had little to do with Chadong. Chahar's current territorial forces are mainly Song Zheyuan and Fu Zuoyi, and other small forces do not play a major role.
"The purpose of the Japanese doing these is to disperse our country's strength. We can prevent them. If we don't listen to advice, the central government can order sanctions. Now the trouble is Feng Yuxiang," Huang Shao said lightly: "Feng Yuxiang raised a flag to recruit troops in Zhangjiakou. The 3,000 military academy students from the Fenyang Military Academy have arrived in Zhangjiakou. After the main force of the 29th Army transferred the Great Wall to participate in the war, there were only a few troops left in Zhangjiakou, led by Tong Linge, deputy commander of the 29th Army. In view of the emptiness of Chahar, the chairman then transferred Fu Zuoyi's 35th Army to reinforce Zhangjiakou, and then transferred Li Fuying's troops to reinforce Chadong. You may already know these.
Zhuang Jihua nodded and said that he had already known these situations. Huang Shaoyou continued: "Yunnong, let's talk about it next."
Dai Li nodded and looked at Zhuang Jihua respectfully and said, "Senior Feng Yuxiang raised the banner of anti-Japanese war in Zhangjiakou. The principal sent someone to send him a letter to ask him to go south to discuss state affairs, but he ignored it. He collected his old subordinates in Chahar, and Tong Lingge, who was left behind by the 29th Army, was shaky. In addition, his old subordinates Ji Hongchang, Fang Zhenwu, and Lei Zhongtian responded one after another. They instigated the old subordinates everywhere to rebel. The former anti-Japanese volunteers and Rehe garrison retreated to Chadong were also somewhat shaken and began to send people to contact Feng Yuxiang."
Dai Li said this and looked at Zhuang Jihua, and then said: "Based on the information we have, Feng Yuxiang is also in contact with the Communist Party of China. The Shunzhi Provincial Party Committee and the Hebei Provincial Party Committee have established a front-line working committee and sent many people to Feng Yuxiang."
"Is there a list?" Zhuang Jihua interrupted, but he was very surprised. Since he knew why he didn't take action, he insisted on discussing with him. What does this mean? Test? Or something else?
"No, but there was a person recognized by our people," Dai Li said and looked at Zhuang Jihua worriedly. Seeing that he had no expression, he continued: "This person is Zhang Jinren, the former Propaganda Minister of the ** Shunzhi Provincial Party Committee, was arrested by us in Tianjin and detained for a year. Later, it was found out that he had been expelled from the Communist Party of China before he was arrested. We did not have any difficulties for him. After September 18, the chairman announced the pardon of a group of political prisoners. He also released him, but our comrades recently found him at Feng Yuxiang."
Huang Shao was a little surprised by Dai Li's attitude. Dai Li was the director of the Blue-Clothing Society's Secret Service. The Secret Service has developed very rapidly over the past year and has become vaguely in the competition with Chen Lifu and Xu Enzeng in charge of the Central Special Investigation Section. Although Dai Li was not arrogant and domineering, those who knew the inside story gave three points to this rising star, today Huang Shao saw that Dai Li was not only respectful to Zhuang Jihua, but also a little scared.
"Since you know, why don't you take action?" Zhuang Jihua seemed a little dissatisfied and his tone was stiff.
"Chahar is Feng Yuxiang's territory, and the central government's power has never been strong there. It was only after Feng Yuxiang raised the flag that the secret service began to penetrate there. Overall, our strength in North China is still very weak. Both the Peking Station and Tianjin Station have just been established, and Chahar has not set up a station yet." A trace of surprise flashed in Huang Shao's eyes. Dai Li actually revealed the strength of the secret service in the north as he was in front of him. It seemed that he was quite afraid of Zhuang Jihua.
"More importantly, Feng Yuxiang used a very good banner. The banner of anti-Japanese war is very confusing, confusing many people, and the press is fueling the fire, and the principal is also afraid of the mouse." Dai Li felt very sorry. He wanted to do something, but Chahar had no central army at all, and all kinds of forces were captured in Song Zheyuan's hands. Feng Yuxiang was Song Zheyuan's old boss. If he wanted to speak, Song Zheyuan would not dare to do anything.
"General Ji Kuan, how did you judge?" Zhuang Jihua turned around and asked Huang Shao again.
"What else can I say? Seeking a comeback. Feng Yuxiang's purpose is too obvious." Huang Shao said lightly. For ordinary people, anti-Japanese war is a dazzling flag, but for an old politician like Huang Shao who has been in the Chinese political arena for many years, he can see through his purpose at a glance.
Zhuang Jihua said for a moment: "Then I will ask General Ji Kuan for advice. What is the strategy to go to the east?"
"The Chairman means to use comfort instead of suppression, and to divide and disintegrate; it is best not to use force." After Huang Shao said that, he took out a stack of letters of appointment from his bag: "That's all the way the Chairman can give you."
Zhuang Jihua did not reach out to pick him up immediately. He thought for a while and said, "Yunnong, have the principal told you? I have made an agreement with him."
Dai Li glanced at Huang Shao awkwardly and said, "I know. But since the senior is going to check the east, the principal means that he will solve these problems by the way."
Zhuang Jihua smiled speechlessly, thought for a moment and asked, "If I follow my method to solve the problem, will the principal agree?"
"What senior means..." Dai Li asked carefully.
"General Ji Kuan said it would be better not to use force. I thought this was the only correct way. Now we cannot intensify the situation. Everything must be followed by military actions. Their purpose is to use Feng Yuxiang, and Feng Yuxiang is not a fool. He will understand after a while. At that time, he will take action himself, or give it another gift, or return to Taishan to study. Therefore, as long as Feng Yuxiang changes, their banner will not be able to continue. If the principal agrees with this principle, I will do it." Zhuang Jihua said slowly.
Dai Li replied: "Well, the principal's order is the senior wholly responsible."
After he finished speaking, he looked at Huang Shao. Chiang Kai-shek asked him to come with Huang Shao, which contained the meaning of making Huang Shao a lobbyist. Huang Shao knew this very well, so he came to meet Zhuang Jihua together.
After hearing this, Zhuang Jihua nodded slowly, then looked at Dai Li with a smile: "You won't use any tricks for me, put some traps, right?"
Dai Li quickly said, "I dare not, the principal lets the senior be responsible, so I naturally support the senior with all my strength."
Zhuang Jihua didn't say anything, but turned to Huang Shao and said, "General Ji Kuan, have you found any problems?"
Huang Shao was a little puzzled and thought for a while and asked, "Do you want to talk about Jingzhi's deployment?"
"No," Zhuang Jihua shook his head and said, "I am talking about news and public opinion. The National Government is gradually losing control of news and public opinion. Look, the Nantianmen War is so tragic, but few people report. Why is this? Look at the newspapers in the north and south. It seems that only Xifengkou is fighting in the entire Great Wall. Thinking about Feng Yuxiang erecting flags and recruiting soldiers. Why did the news media spread so quickly? Extend further. The 128th Shanghai War of Resistance, Jiangxi Bandit Suppression, the Central Plains War, etc., news and public opinion reports, I feel that if this continues, the National Government will eventually lose control of public opinion."
After Huang Shao thought about it, he felt that what Zhuang Jihua said was true, but he said: "As a reporter, what he likes to write. What he doesn't like to write. Let him go, and let's talk about freedom of the press. If you want to control this, someone will say that you control public opinion and become a dictator."
Dai Li was very touched: "Senior is right, these newspapers should be cured long ago. For example, Shanghai's "Shenbao" publicly publicizes the redification and fights against the government. Such newspapers should be cracked down on them."
Huang Shao firmly opposed: "Yunnong, this matter cannot be done. This is to suppress public opinion and will cause opposition from local news media, which will be bad for the government."
Dai Li said indifferently: "Nothing is there? We don't take resolute measures to curb the propaganda of the Communist Party. The most powerful weapon of the Communist Party C is their propaganda."
Huang Shao raised his eyebrows: "Press freedom is an important part of the Three Principles of the People and an important means to protect civil rights. You cannot interfere too much, otherwise how can you talk about democracy and civil rights?"
Dai Li was obviously unwilling to debate with Huang Shao, so he just smiled faintly and kept silent. But Zhuang Jihua said: "It's a war period. Look at the content of the Jurentang Conference, which will be seen in Tianjin newspapers the next day. Although there are our own reasons, it also shows the disorder in the news media."
Huang Shao was stunned. There were too many such things. Two months ago, Chiang Kai-shek came to Peking secretly. In a few days, the newspapers in Tianjin reported Chiang Kai-shek's itinerary in detail. Even Chiang Kai-shek met with the officials and generals one by one, which made Chiang Kai-shek furious and ordered Dai Li to investigate the leakers, but it was finally resolved.
"News should have freedom, but freedom cannot be spread. Even Europe and the United States must control news during wartime." Zhuang Jihua said with a smile.
Dai Li knew that Zhuang Jihua must have an idea, so he asked softly: "What senior does that mean? How do you care?"
"I suggest you study the Soviet news management methods, their methods are the most effective." Zhuang Jihua said calmly: "You can't see an article criticizing Stalin in the newspaper."
