After Li Zhilong left, Zhuang Jihua still took his children for a walk by the playground... The bell for get out of class to be over, and a large number of students rushed out of the teaching building. They quickly mingled with the students on the playground.

Looking at the energetic young people in front of them, they were just fucking and enjoying the nourishment of the sunshine unscrupulously in the early spring sunshine, the female students passed by them with curious eyes. Some old teachers recognized Zhuang Jihua and came to say hello to him. He was also excited to chat with them. There were more and more people around him. After a while, a group of students were surrounded by students. Wu Ziniu and Shi Shaoxian began to worry. Fortunately, the bell rang at this time, and the students outside quickly walked towards the teaching building. The teachers with classes also said goodbye immediately. There were fewer people around Zhuang Jihua at once, and Zhuang Jihua also took the opportunity to say goodbye.

This kind of leisure time is really comfortable, but Zhuang Jihua has no choice but to say goodbye to it. There is no war or intrigue politics. Zhuang Jihua yearns for it from the bottom of his heart, but now he has to deal with all forces.

The next afternoon, Zhuang Jihua called Wang Jingwei's mansion and went to Wang Jingwei's mansion. From the base to Wang Jingwei's mansion, he was only separated by the Jialing River. He boarded the boat and crossed the river and then went uphill to the gate of Wang's mansion.

When Zhuang Jihua arrived, Wang Jingwei chatted with Chen Gongbo, Tao Xisheng and Zeng Zhongming. Tao Xisheng was a participant in the National Government and served as a professor at Shanghai and Central University.

After receiving the call from Zhuang Jihua, Wang Jingwei was very excited. He had long wanted to talk to Zhuang Jihua. On the day he came back, he wanted to go to Chaotianmen to pick up the wharf, but Chen Bijun refused to let him go. He was the vice president of the Kuomintang and the drafter of the prime minister's will to welcome such a junior boy, so he would not make people laugh at him, so he asked Zeng Zhongming to go.

The information Zeng Zhongming fed back was very inspired, so after receiving a call from Zhuang Jihua, Wang Jingwei called Chen Gongbo and Tao Xisheng together, hoping to have a good talk with Zhuang Jihua about peace.

"We haven't seen each other for more than ten years in the Cultural Revolution." Wang Jingwei smiled and stretched out his hand. Zhuang Jihua held his hand. This hand was completely different from Chiang Kai-shek's, and it was white and soft.

Looking at the gentle and elegant Wang Jingwei, Zhuang Jihua sighed slightly in his heart, but there was a smile on his face: "Yes, it's been more than ten years, and Chairman Wang's style is still the same, which is admirable."

In fact, Zhuang Jihua had never seen Wang Jingwei after the Zhongshan ship. In 27 years, he was recovering from his injuries and was in jail. Wang Jingwei was scratching his head for a mess of the Wuhan government and had no time to care about him, so the two had not seen each other for about thirteen years.

"Cultural Revolution, you're just joking," Chen Bijun said sarcastically, "Now you're almost scolding us traitors, why are you still admired? It's because you, a hero of the War of Resistance and the creator of the Chongqing model, have countless halos, which is really admirable."

"Madam, I will be even more frightened if you say this," Zhuang Jihua said with a bitter face: "These halos are really annoying. To be honest, I also have the intention of avoiding leisure when I come to Mr. Wang. It's so annoying. Finally, I have a few days to get together with my wife and children. I didn't expect that in this moment, I received more than a dozen invitations and asked me to make a report. What are the Boy Scouts, Women's Federation, and Student Group, my head is big."

"You are born in blessings and don't know how to be blessed. Many people can't wait for such invitations. Alas, from time to time, you would rather be a heroic concubine than a mediocre wife? If you don't have too many heroes, Liangliang, how can you come?" Zeng Zhongming joked with a sore and unhurried voice.

"I always believe that the condition for peace talks is the Chairman's Lushan talks, which is our bottom line. Only an agreement reached under this condition can bring peace. The ultimate peace must be the return of all Chinese territory, including the three northeastern provinces, so that the final, true peace can be achieved."

Zhuang Jihua talked freely, and he turned his head to look at Wang Jingwei: "Mr. Wang, I returned from the front line and I know the situation of the Japanese army the most clearly. To be honest, it is not impossible to surrender unconditionally. You may not know that the Japanese are almost unable to hold on. In the later stage of the Second Jinpu Road Battle, we captured more than a thousand Japanese prisoners of war, who were from seventeen or eighteen to over thirty years old, and the longest time to join the army was only a little over a year. What does this mean? This shows that the casualties of experienced Japanese veterans can no longer be as good as supplements, and human resources are about to be exhausted."

"Secondly, Japan's economy has fallen into a serious dilemma. On the surface, Japan's industry is several times stronger than us, but Japan has a fatal weakness. It lacks local resources, so it must start busy international trade. At the end of last year, the United States announced that international settlement uses US dollars and gold as settlement units, and this alone can squeeze Japan's foreign exchange reserves dry. Wars require steel, steelmaking requires iron ore, and no foreign exchange, what does Japan use to buy iron ore. Automobile tanks, warships and aircraft are very powerful, but to start them, they must have oil, but without foreign exchange, what does the Japanese use to buy oil. On the contrary, we are different. We have everything except oil and rubber, so in comparison, we have lower international requirements and less economic pressure. Our pressure mainly comes from refugees caused by war, but these problems can be solved."

"The Japanese government is now feeling difficult to get on the verge of the tiger. It should have cut off its arm and decisively abandoned the results of the Lugou Bridge Incident. However, the narrowness of the island country made them short-sighted and reluctant to give up their vested interests. However, their strategy for our country has also changed, changing from simple conquest by force to a combination of conquest by force and political inducement, and political inducement by political inducement is to play the card of peace."

"Mr. Wang, the peace you hope is to restore our sovereignty in a peaceful way and promote the withdrawal of the Japanese army, but this is not the peace that the Japanese want. The peace of the Japanese is a peace with our goal of submission. Mr. Wang, such peace is absolutely impossible."

Zhuang Jihua picked up the teacup and drank a sip of tea to end the long discussion. Wang Jingwei was shocked. Before he could react, Tao Xisheng opened fire first: "General Zhuang, millions of refugees, you said it can be solved. I want to ask, how to solve it?"

Zhuang Jihua put down his teacup and said slowly: "Strengthening infrastructure construction, to put it simply, the Chairman asked me to come to Sichuan and also served in the three southwestern provinces, which also made me solve this problem. My method is very simple, investing in infrastructure construction on a large scale. In the next few years, Sichuan, Yunnan and Guizhou will all start some large-scale transportation construction, including the ugly girl asking for a railway from Guizhou, the highway from Xikang to Yunnan, the highway from Guizhou to Yunnan, and there are also power plants in various places. These construction projects are roughly estimated to provide about 500,000 labor, and the extended industrial chain can absorb hundreds of thousands of people. The Southwest Development Company will expand its production scale to meet the needs of the war, which can provide a batch of jobs."

Tao Xisheng chose a wrong battlefield. His research scope was political and philosophical, and he knew almost nothing about the economy, so he turned his attention to Chen Gongbo, who served as the Minister of Agriculture and Minister of Industry of the National Government and had a certain understanding of the economy.

Zhuang Jihua's long talk shocked Chen Gongbo very much, and some vague thoughts became clear in his mind. But when facing Tao Xisheng's gaze for help, he had to speak out.

"Brother Xi Sheng forgot that the Cultural Revolution will not only lead troops to fight," Chen Gongbo said calmly: "But the Cultural Revolution, such a large-scale infrastructure construction requires a lot of funds. Where did this fund come from?"

"Director Chen, don't forget that I came back from the United States. I can convince some consortiums to invest, and I can also issue bonds. The funds have been basically arranged." Zhuang Jihua smiled slightly.

"General Zhuang, are you too optimistic about Japan's predictions? According to you, we will win in two or three years? Japan will surrender unconditionally?" Tao Xisheng decided to bring the battlefield back to the field he is familiar with and challenge in the field of international relations.

"Too optimistic?" Zhuang Jihua shook his head: "The Japanese's dilemma is not obvious yet, and it will be obvious in two years. Unconditional surrender is not impossible now, because we don't have a navy, but the navy, Britain and the United States have it, we can borrow theirs."

"Cultural Revolution, I thought you were in favor of peace." Wang Jingwei's face was gloomy. He felt like he was being played with, and a sense of injustice arose: "It turned out to be just a pastime and joke."

"I will never dare to be a low-ranking position," Zhuang Jihua stood up and shook his head, "Mr. Wang is a veteran of our party, how dare I." Then he continued to explain: "In the current political environment, peace talks require extraordinary courage. I know this very well, so I do not agree with the idea that peace talks are treason. But I also believe that the bottom line of peace talks is the Chairman's Lushan talks. There is no other reason. This conversation was delivered at a meeting chaired by Mr. Wang and Chairman. It is recognized by all walks of life for the bottom line of resolving the Sino-Japanese conflict. It is absolutely unacceptable to exceed this bottom line."

"The bottom line is set, so what else can I talk about? What are the Japanese willing to do?" Zeng Zhongming asked angrily.

"Secretary Zeng, there is a bottom line for any negotiation," Zhuang Jihua's lips sarcastic. Is Zeng Zhongming too stupid? He doesn't even know this: "The Japanese are unwilling to do it, but I still refuse to do it. What's so great about Japan? It's strong on the outside and the middle. At the beginning of the war, the Japanese claimed to destroy China in three months. As a result, Nanjing lost 100,000, Xuzhou lost 120,000, and Yucheng lost 70,000. In two years, we will destroy one million Japanese troops. These are all living facts. Two years ago, what was the underworld alliance sent by Todman? After the war in Nanjing, the guards issued a statement that they did not use the National Government as their opponent, but why have they sent us peace messages frequently? Secretary Zeng, can't you figure out the joints in this?"
