"Yes, there is this. From last year to this year, we have produced more than 70,000 units of the official ones, including 10,000 machine guns and more than 1,300 mortars. All of these weapons were sealed in the arsenal. The Sichuan Army suffered a great loss in the failure to suppress bandits. Liu Xiang and Deng Xihou came to me and asked to buy the part of this year's profit. I agreed. There are three reasons. First of all, the losses of the Sichuan Army were indeed very large, and they must be supplemented; second, due to the technical level of workers, the quality of this batch of weapons was good and bad, and the problem accounted for about 4% of the total; third, although the Sichuan Army was defeated, the Sichuan Army was still very strong, and the total strength was still more than 100,000, so it was a great force, and they had to be held." Zhuang Jihua explained while observing Chiang Kai-shek's expression. Chiang Kai-shek's face was unrest, and he could not tell what he was thinking.

After a while, Chiang Kai-shek slowly said: "Equipment should still satisfy the Central Army first."

Zhuang Jihua understood that Chiang Kai-shek was worried that the Sichuan factory would become the Sichuan Army's factory. He shrugged indifferently and said, "Of course, but the principal, this is a money. I paid for the 5,000 units this time, and it won't work in the future."

"Oh, why, you can't make the decision?" Chiang Kai-shek turned his head and looked at him and asked. After the arsenal in Chongqing began to produce weapons, he had been paying attention to it secretly. The money sent this time was inspected by the army. Although it was rough in appearance, it was not bad at all. It attracted his attention. Later, he received a report that Liu Xiang and the others took away 40,000 units at once, which made him heartbroken. This was the reason why he asked Zhuang Jihua to take the same car.\

"No, I am just one of the company's shareholders, and Liu Xiang and others are also shareholders." Zhuang Jihua replied.

"Oh, that's nothing. The central government wants to organize 100 divisions, and the German and Machinery Division has only three weapons. At worst, I can give you the 100 million yuan of land and return it to you." Having said that, Chiang Kai-shek frowned, as if he was dissatisfied.

Zhuang Jihua saw it, but he didn't care at all. He originally pulled Liu Xiang and the others to avoid being swallowed by the central officials in the future. It would be beneficial to lift the lid a little now, and there would be less interference in the future.

"I can't eat so much now," Zhuang Jihua sighed deliberately: "In a few years, the biggest gain in the past two years has been to train a group of technical workers and principals. You don't know, it was difficult at the beginning. There were not enough workers. The lathe was placed in the workshop and no one opened it. A master had to take three apprentices. To be honest, these workers were all fed with money. They could become successful, and I don't know how much materials were wasted."

Speaking of this, he leaned his body heavily on the backrest and breathed a lot: "Now, now. With people, it will be convenient to expand in the future. It will take less than two years. We can expand three factories of the same size based on the current level. In the future, we will have more and more weapons and better."

Chiang Kai-shek said in a silent meeting: "You have worked very hard in Chongqing in the past two years. I know that I will not treat people who are serious about doing things. The Fifth Plenary Session of the 19th CPC Central Committee will be held next year. I plan to make you a member of the Central Committee. What do you think?"

"Me," Zhuang Jihua pointed at his chest. This time he was really stunned. He didn't expect that Chiang Kai-shek would actually make him a member of the Central Committee: "Central Committee? I'm not suitable."

Chiang Kai-shek smiled as he looked at Zhuang Jihua. Zhuang Jihua's "awareness" was high, and he wanted something that many people wanted, but he had never thought about it at all.

"I think you are very suitable. Many people want it, but I don't want to give it to you."

"Central Committee Member, let's talk about it later, don't worry, the meeting will be held next year anyway." Zhuang Jihua suddenly remembered something: "Principal, I think people should be sent to Moscow immediately. We are now too close to the Germans and adopt them in everything, but the Germans and the Japanese are also very close. Once the war between China and Japan begins, Hitler may abandon us because of Japan... Therefore, we must have a second choice."

Although it matched his previous life, this was what Zhuang Jihua thought of himself. This idea suddenly emerged during his discussion just now. Germany's strategy in Asia was to hold China and Japan against Britain and France. But if a war broke out between China and Japan, then Hitler would definitely face a choice problem. Japan's strong navy is an important weight, and Hitler would definitely choose Japan.

Chiang Kai-shek nodded slightly, and he looked at Zhuang Jihua with a little strange smile. The latter smiled bitterly, and he said slowly: "You are right, our established strategy of connecting with Russia to Japan, but I am also in trouble. It was too stiff before, so it was difficult to open the situation again."

"The matter is about human affairs, but the key is about humans. If Mrs. Sun is willing to go there, I think the Soviet Union will understand our sincerity." Zhuang Jihua said.

Chiang Kai-shek's eyes lit up, and then dimmed. Last year, after he sent someone to assassinate Yang Xingfo and his son, the civil rights protection alliance, Song Qingling treated him as an enemy and was unwilling to date him at all, and was even more unlikely to contribute to him.

"Otherwise,... Junshan and Xuebing have studied at Sun Yat-sen University in the Soviet Union, so you can choose one of them." Zhuang Jihua said and looked at Chiang Kai-shek, and Chiang Kai-shek's face turned dark.

"Cultural Revolution, don't want to plead for Deng Wenyi," Chiang Kai-shek immediately exposed Zhuang Jihua's purpose: "He disappointed me so much. He embezzled and accepted bribes and recruited small gangs. He has little ability and a strong desire to be a powerful person. He is the same with He Junshan. He always dreams of being a leader of Hunan people. Is it so easy to be a leader?"

Zhuang Jihua was suddenly suffocated, knowing that Chiang Kai-shek was really angry this time. Li Anding carried him on his back to form a small gang, and might even have connections with Li Jishen. However, after the incident was exposed, Chiang Kai-shek still gave him a chance and persuaded him in person, but this time he didn't even give Deng Wenyi the opportunity.

"Principal, I'm not pleading for Xuebing," Zhuang Jihua said slowly: "I also saw Xuebing's incident in the newspaper, but if you think about it carefully, it's strange. First of all, how did Xuebing's investigation report know about it? The newspaper said it has a nose and eyes, but it looks like a novel in Romance, so his affairs are still unfounded. Secondly, Xuebing's affairs seem simple, but in fact it's very troublesome to deal with it. This is related to the prestige of the government. Nanchang Airport and planes were built with donations from overseas Chinese and domestic people. If it is embezzled, the people's confidence in the government will be greatly hit, which will directly affect the purchase of aviation patriotism tickets and thus affect the construction of the air force. The principal must be cautious."

Chiang Kai-shek was shocked, and Zhuang Jihua's words were heartbroken. The aviation patriotism ticket was initiated by Soong Mei-ling to purchase aircraft to support national defense. It was issued nationwide, and all sectors of society bought it enthusiastically, which strongly supported the construction of the air force. If this incident affected the issuance of the lottery ticket, Chiang Kai-shek would never be willing, let alone the prestige of the government.

"Just let these two scums go!" Chiang Kai-shek let out a heavy breath and cursed a little helplessly.

"Of course not," Zhuang Jihua said seriously: "However, principal, I see another worrying thing from this matter, that is, the people do not trust the government. Deng Xuebing's bribery and Xu Peigen's kickbacks were not evidence, but once reported, the people believed it immediately. What does this mean? It means that the people's distrust of the government is already very high. A little bit of sparks will immediately ignite a lot of fires."

Chiang Kai-shek recalled the incident carefully. As Zhuang Jihua said, he had regarded Deng Wenyi and Xu Peigen as criminals in newspaper reports, and even if he thought that these two people must have these things, how could this happen? Is it true that the people do not trust the government, just as Zhuang Jihua said?

"Defending Deng Xuebing and Xu Peigen is a small matter, issuing air patriotism tickets is a small matter, and winning back the trust of the people is a big matter," Zhuang Jihua is very serious: "So the students suggest that people be sent to investigate Deng Xuebing and Xu Peigen immediately and re-investigate the Nanchang Airport fire. If it is true, the two will be sentenced to the canon to declare the government's determination to oppose **. If not, they will also declare their innocence to the public."

Chiang Kai-shek just nodded, but then he felt inappropriate: "As you said, the people do not trust the government, so the government review report cannot make them believe it, and the result is not the same."

"There is a way to appoint an official with a good reputation and a respected person from the public to review it together." Zhuang Jihua suggested without hesitation: "At the same time, send someone to the United States to verify the price of the plane and find out whether Xu Peigen received kickbacks."

Chiang Kai-shek was moved. He thought about it and nodded. It would be a good idea to win back the prestige of the government.

"If they really commit a crime, then they will deal with it resolutely and stop the greed in the officialdom." Zhuang Jihua immediately added. Since Xiao Zanyu told him that Deng Wenyi promised not to take Xu Peigen a penny, then he would do the matter ruthlessly. If it is really found out that something is wrong, then he can only blame Deng Wenyi himself.

"Okay, just do it like this." Chiang Kai-shek nodded and agreed. He hated corruption in the officialdom, but he had no choice but to arrest one, but some people could not arrest even if they were found out. This involves all aspects of relationships, and he must measure it thoroughly, but this made him even more angry. This would be a good idea to have a chance this time.

"You must carry out strict rectification of party and government affairs in Sichuan. In the future, it will be our base for the War of Resistance. We must not let those corrupt officials be ruined." Chiang Kai-shek reminded again: "There are also stricter supervision of the people below. Don't put aside the formation of cliques like the Blue-clothed Society, and make it apart. No one will do what they really want to do. It's simply a mess."

"Student understand." Zhuang Jihua said that he understood that Chiang Kai-shek was giving him a sword, asking him to let him do it in Sichuan without any worries. However, Chiang Kai-shek's words conveyed another message, and he was extremely dissatisfied with the Blue Clothing Society. Zhuang Jihua felt that Chiang Kai-shek was going to reorganize the Blue Clothing Society.

Sure enough, shortly after Zhuang Jihua returned to Chongqing, Zeng Kuoyi received an order to serve as director of the Political Training Department of the Peking Military Branch, and Feng Gu took over as director of the Sichuan Party Department.
