Dan Wang Jingwei was not at home. After Wuhan fell, the base camp moved to Chongqing. All the government agencies moved to Chongqing. On the way back to Mei Siping, the Japanese army had occupied Wuhan, but failed to capture the main force of the squadron. Then the Japanese army moved into an attack on the surrounding areas of Wuhan.

The Japanese army occupying Wuhan did not stop and continued to attack the surrounding areas of Wuhan, attacking Zaoyang, Sui County north of the Yangtze River. They started to fight in the Jiangnanxun line south of the Yangtze River, and the situation was still tense.

Since there was no major battle in the First War Zone, Chiang Kai-shek ordered Wei Lihuang to take over as the commander of the First War Zone, and Li Zongren officially took over as the commander of the Fifth War Zone, focusing on commanding the defense battle of Zaoyang in Sui County. All troops on the Nanxun Line were commanded by Xue Yue, commander-in-chief of the front enemy in the Ninth War Zone.

The wars remained in the north and south of the Yangtze River. After Chiang Kai-shek withdrew to Chongqing, he no longer interfered in the command of the frontline generals and handed over the main command work to He Yingqin and Bai Chongxi. He turned his main energy to the Provisional National Congress of the Kuomintang, the Fourth Plenary Session of the Fifth Central Committee, and the National Political Consultative Conference.

In the past two years of the War of Resistance Against Japan, major changes have taken place in international and domestic politics, economy and military. It is necessary to hold a national conference to unify the understanding of the whole party, rectify the economy and finance, rectify the army, and summarize the experience and teachings of the war over the past two years. This conference should have been held before the Wuhan Defense War, but in order to arrange the Wuhan Defense War, Chiang Kai-shek delayed the conference. He originally wanted to save Wuhan and convene it in Wuhan, but the result of the war failed to meet his requirements.

After Chiang Kai-shek arrived in Chongqing, he did not live in the Shangqing Temple near the city like other senior officials in the state government, but lived in Gele Mountain near the Central Military Academy like Nanjing. Before Chiang Kai-shek arrived in Chongqing, Zhuang Jihua and Chiang Ching-kuo built three official residences for him, near Gele Mountain, Huangshan South Mountain and Guanyin Bridge. Chiang Kai-shek chose Gele Mountain and Huangshan, and Guanyin Bridge's official residence was directly ordered to be changed to a cadre school guesthouse.

Chiang Kai-shek spent most of his time at the Huangshan official residence. Huangshan belongs to the beautiful Nanshan craftsmanship. The mountains are covered with green pines and green environment. After Chiang Kai-shek moved in, the area was five miles away and covered with guards.

In order to prepare for the Fourth Plenary Session of the Fifth Central Committee, Chiang Kai-shek frequently summoned the central officials in Chongqing after moving to Nanshan. Wang Jingwei was naturally the top priority. When Mei Siping arrived at Wang Jingwei's apartment, Wang Jingwei was having a chat with Chiang Kai-shek here.

Wang Jingwei still agreed with the convening of the Fourth Plenary Session of the Fifth Central Committee. The direction of the war was as he had originally estimated. China continued to lose troops and land, the country's financial difficulties were extremely difficult, and the people were wailing. All of this was caused by the resolute leadership of the war. After two years of war, those war-torn factions should have awakened, and Chiang Kai-shek should have awakened.

But what surprised Wang Jingwei was that after a routine greeting, the conversation between the two quickly collided fiercely, and their views were sharply opposed.

Wang Jingwei believes that now is the time to talk about peace, the battle has been fought, and the facts have proved that our strength is far from being able to catch up. If we continue to fight, it will inevitably lead to the destruction of the country and the family, and ultimately the loser will benefit.

Chiang Kai-shek believes that peace talks can be done but must be based on Lushan talks. As for the victory or defeat of the war, it is too early to say that the Japanese army has been fully exerted from the perspective of the defense of Wuhan. In the future, the war will enter a stalemate stage. Although the situation in China is difficult, it will never be unable to fight.

"Now the whole world is supporting us. Even US President Roosevelt is condemning Japan. This year's loan has been allocated, and next year's loan will be allocated in October this year. The British's attitude has also begun to relax. The reopening of the Yunnan-Burma Highway is just around the corner. Frankly speaking, I think it is not us who are in trouble, but Japan. In the late stage of the Wuhan Defense War, the Japanese army frequently encountered problems of insufficient ammunition and insufficient food. This shows that the Japanese economy is in trouble." Chiang Kai-shek's face was gloomy and his voice was a little loud to cover up his inner irritability.

What Chiang Kai-shek said was true. But he had to admit that what Wang Jingwei said was true, especially. The Japanese army attacked the Eighth Route Army in North China twice and destroyed the Eighth Route Army's base in the Wingzhong. However, the Eighth Route Army developed very rapidly in Shanxi. Half of the entire Shanxi was under the control of the Eighth Route Army. In addition, the Eighth Route Army in the Jinchayi was not hit. They extended their tentacles to the Yanshan area near Beiping. The New Fourth Army in Jiangnan also developed very rapidly in Jiangnan, and established bases in Tianmu Mountain, Taihu and other places. After the failure to march into northern Jiangsu, the New Fourth Army established a base in the north.

"The scale of Japan's economy is ten times that of us. They are in difficulties. What about us? Since the Republic of China, there have been frequent domestic wars. There is almost no construction. If there is only Zhuang Wenjie has been building in Chongqing for several years. With this industrial foundation, can we continue to build with the Japanese?" Wang Jingwei was a little sad and a little sad: "We are sorry to the Prime Minister, and we will have no face to see him when we come underground."

When Chiang Kai-shek heard him mention Sun Yat-sen, he felt even more angry, thinking that if you hadn't caused me trouble over the years, would the country have the same situation? You still have the face to say this now. But now he doesn't want to argue with him. He must have written the political report of the Fourth Plenary Session of the Fifth Central Committee.

"I don't want to discuss the right or wrong of the past. The country has reached this field, and we must unite to overcome the difficulties. The political report of the Fourth Plenary Session of the 19th Central Committee of the Communist Party of China first emphasizes this

.

Wang Jingwei was furious when he heard this. He said this more than once to Chiang Kai-shek, which means you all have to listen to me. The new address of this site has been changed to: I am please read after seeing Shan!

"In the past, I was in charge of the government, you were in charge of the army. Later, you were in charge of both the government and the army. Today, the country has reached the verge of defeat. The two of us are the most responsible. I suggest that we both resign at the same time and replace others to lead the company."

When Chiang Kai-shek heard this, his heart suddenly became angry and said to me that you had the idea that I had to take all the responsibility and resign together. Who doesn’t know that I was in control of the country over the years? My resignation is equivalent to admitting that I will bear all the responsibility for the country’s defeat over the years, and it cannot be done.

"Impossible, I will never resign!" Chiang Kai-shek stood up, his face flushed red: "If you hadn't made trouble with me over the years, I would have been destroyed by me, so that would have been what I am today. If you hadn't made trouble with me, how could the Japanese dare to come in? I would have the face to meet the Prime Minister when I came to the ground! I have a clear conscience!"

After saying that, Chiang Kai-shek left with his sleeves. Wang Jingwei was stunned and turned around and left. According to his idea, if Chiang Kai-shek resigned with him, then the Japanese would meet the conditions for not dealing with Chiang Kai-shek. The next person, whether it was Kong Xiangxi or Sun Ke, could start a peace talk with the Japanese. Moreover, when Chiang Kai-shek stepped down, the conditions he set for Lugong talks can be ignored. The successor can naturally propose new conditions, and the conditions brought back by Mei Siping could be accepted by the new government.

Gao Zongwu had already sent a call to Zhou Fohai to inform him that Mei Siping had brought back the conditions for Japan. Although he did not say the specific content, it was acceptable in terms of tone. Therefore, Chiang Kai-shek stepped down with him and could avoid the division of the Kuomintang. If he did not step down, he would have to leave Chongqing and establish a new central government in other places, which would lead to the division of the Kuomintang again.

But Chiang Kai-shek rejected his suggestion, which made him extremely depressed. Leaving Chongqing, this decision was not good. He fully guided what it means to take this step. Qin Shuan has been kneeling there for a thousand years. How will history evaluate him in the future?

With a lot of thoughts, Wang Jingwei returned home and heard laughter from the living room before he even entered the door. Chen Bijun came out of the car and came out, and there was the fat Zhou Fohai behind him.

"Fourth brother, you are back, come in quickly, come in quickly." Chen Bijun came over very enthusiastically and took his hand. Zhou Fohai, who had always been arrogant, also lowered his figure and greeted Zeng Zhongming behind him intimately.

When he saw Mei Siping standing respectfully at the door, Wang Jingwei understood the reason why he was so excited in the room, but he felt a sense of irritability for no reason.

"Thank you for your hard work this time Siping.

Wang Jingwei still comforted Mei Siping. Chen Bijun felt that such simple words were not enough to show his importance to Mei Siping's move, Gao Zongwu. He added loudly: "Fourth brother, Lao Mei and Lao Gao have made great contributions this time. Lao Mei brought the treaty back in underwear. You have really made them suffer."

As he said that, he picked up the silk that remembered the treaty and shook it, with the words "Chen" written on it, Wang Jingwei took it and sighed softly: "Siping, you have really bothered this time. Being able to bring back the Japanese conditions is a great thing. If you really can eliminate the disaster of war, it is a blessing for the country and a blessing for the people."

"Look at this, we just copied it." Zhou Fohai saw that Wang Jingwei picked up the silk and wanted to read it, so he handed over the document copied on paper.

"What did Mr. Jiang say today?" Chen Bijun asked about the result of meeting Chiang Kai-shek in Huangshan today before Wang Jingwei finished reading.

"What else can be there? It's the political report of the Fourth Plenary Session of the 19th Central Committee of the Communist Party of China." Wang Jingwei casually told them about his proposal to resign with Chiang Kai-shek, and Chiang Kai-shek then got angry.

"Mr. Wang, how could Lao Jiang resign? He is different from you. You are indifferent to fame and fortune. He is a person who is obsessed with power and will never give up power in this life." Zhou Fohai laughed and sat on the sofa opposite Wang Jingwei. The sofa stood deep and sunk down a lot.

Zhou Fohai's understanding of Chiang Kai-shek was so deep that Chen Bijun slapped the sofa: "Fohai is right. Why did Chiang Kai-shek never want to negotiate? He clearly couldn't win the guidance, but he always insisted on fighting. In addition to being famous, it was because the Japanese clearly showed that they did not negotiate with him and asked him to step down. This is the fundamental reason why he was in charge of the war."

"Mrs. This is a sharp saying. To be honest, according to this condition, we will not suffer any losses. The Japanese are the troubles of our elbows and armpits, but the concaves are the troubles of our hearts. We fought with the Japanese and killed them. But we took the opportunity to develop. Two years ago, they only had more than 30,000 people. Now there is more than 100,000 people. It turns out that Ning has basically no power in North China. Now, the Eighth Route Army in North China. If we continue to fight, even if the Japanese are not destroyed, they will die." Zhou Fohai looked worried about the country and the people.

"Minister Zhou is right. Mr. Wang is now instructed to you to stand up and lead the country." Mei Siping stood up and shouted loudly: "The country is at this point in danger, and Mr. Jiang can no longer let him continue to do it. A martial artist knows what kind of way to govern the country. The country needs a wise leader like you, otherwise we will have no face to meet the Prime Minister in the future!"
