Chapter 6 Stalemate Section 2 Going to the Enemy
When Chiang Kai-shek heard this, he glanced at Zhuang Jihua. The two of them said in their hearts for two moments at the same time, but they couldn't...
After Abe's cabinet resigned, Chiang Kai-shek was waiting for the new Japanese Prime Minister's new policy toward China. Zhuang Jihua also saw that Japan always wavered between wars and peace. After conquering Nanjing, Japan sent peace talks through Todman, which was exactly the same as the previous conditions, and was naturally rejected by Chiang Kai-shek.
The two Jinpu Road battles ended in failure, so Japan naturally did not propose any terms for peace talks. The Japanese cabinet changed three times. Hiranuma and Abe both announced that they would commit to Sino-Japanese peace talks, but they did not propose any conditions, so they would naturally be left alone.
"What did he say?" Chiang Kai-shek asked calmly.
"There is nothing new, which is almost the same as the Guard's statement. First, it means that the war causes the people to suffer, and then it hopes to establish a new order in East Asia and jointly prevent the Communist Party. It hopes to work with knowledgeable people in China to eliminate the war between the two countries." Chen Bulei briefly introduced the content of the Minne statement.
Chiang Kai-shek sighed softly, and this sigh contained endless disappointment. This statement showed that Japan's policy toward China had not changed at all, and it was still forced to reconcile with war.
"The Japanese just don't hit the wall and don't look back," Zhuang Jihua said lightly: "Economic, Japan is almost unable to fight. The country's oil prices have doubled, rubber has tripled, iron ore has doubled, and metals such as tin and aluminum have also doubled to double. I think Japan's foreign exchange is probably over."
Chiang Kai-shek and Chen Bulei were both a little strange. China's economic situation was also very bad. Although food controls were implemented, it only alleviated the rise in prices and the national finances did not improve at all. What surprised the two of them was that Zhuang Jihua seemed to have no idea about these and only saw the difficulties of the Japanese.
"The Cultural Revolution, our economy is not light. I was wondering if we had a secret negotiation with the Japanese to ease the Japanese offensive." When Chiang Kai-shek said this, he saw Zhuang Jihua making a move to stand up and oppose him, and quickly waved his hand: "Sit down, sit down, I know you will never agree to the peace talks, but what I want to say is that I don't plan to have a real talk with the Japanese, it's just a delaying plan."
"The outbreak of the European war proves that our previous judgment is correct. A new world war has begun. Whether we are both Britain and France, if we want to win, we have to wait for the United States to join the war. But when will the United States join the war? I don't know, and you probably don't know. If this delaying strategy is successful, then we will win time."
Zhuang Jihua shook his head gently and said seriously: "Principal, it's best not to do this. Now the morale of the entire army is high. Once it is spread, it will be particularly severe. Once the morale is released, it will be difficult to get up again."
Chiang Kai-shek was upset and stood up and shouted: "Am I treasoning the country? The country's power has declined so much over the years, and I have been thinking too much." At this point, he suddenly burst out with a fierce cough.
Chen Bulei hurriedly supported him, Chiang Kai-shek pushed him away, holding his chest with one hand, and still coughing continuously. Zhuang Jihua hurriedly walked behind him and patted him on the back.
It took a while for Chiang Kai-shek to relax. Zhuang Jihua felt pity in his heart. Chiang Kai-shek was under too much pressure. The war broke out until now. He lost all his territory and took the opportunity to grow and grow. He was struggling with internal and external difficulties, and he was heavily pressed on him.
"Principal, the Japanese offensive has been relieved. They no longer have the power to launch a large-scale attack. The war is developing according to our concept. At this time, we cannot relax and speed up social reforms to fulfill the Prime Minister's last wish."
The guards following behind quickly brought a glass of water and helped Chiang Kai-shek to take a few sips. Chiang Kai-shek then relaxed. He waved his hand to let them go, and then sighed: "It's okay, let's all go."
The guards looked at Chen Bulei hesitantly. Chen Bulei waved his hand to let them go. When the guards walked away, Chiang Kai-shek sighed again: "Cultural Revolution. I know this is drinking poison to quench thirst, but as long as you act carefully and do not leak it out, it will not affect the morale of the army."
Zhuang Jihua still firmly opposed: "Principal, there is no airtight wall in the world. If Director Deng and others notice it, they must make trouble all over the city. Don't take this risk. Students will never make peace with the Japanese."
Chen Bulei was stunned. Zhuang Jihua told Chiang Kai-shek tactfully that if you negotiate with the Japanese, I won’t leave with you. I’m afraid that only Zhuang Jihua in the entire Huangpu Clan dares to do this.
"I won't have a peace talk with the Japanese." Chiang Kai-shek signaled them to sit down. After the two of them sat down, he paused and shook his head gently and said, "Forget it, forget it, forget it, let it go, let it go, I won't talk about it anymore."
The stone table fell silent for a moment, and another breeze came, and the bamboo forest made a rustling sound. Several pieces of fallen into the house. Senior generals such as Chiang Kai-shek and Bai Chongxi had already learned about this. They stopped the offensive of Ce Ge Xiao and instead discussed the sudden news brought by Chen Bulei.
"Wang Jingwei's arrival in Hanoi may not be treason." Chiang Kai-shek said thinking. He glanced at Zhuang Jihua who came in and then continued, "It's better to find out the situation first."
"Bizhi believes that his departure is likely to be related to Mine's statement to China," Bai Chongxi shook his head and said, "If he responded outside, how should we deal with it?"
"Then let the people of the country kill him!" Zhuang Jihua shouted decisively: "Principal, the students and Director Bai have the same views. Mr. Wang's move is to go to Japan. An extraordinary meeting should be held immediately to expel Wang Jingwei from his party."
Everyone in the war room was silent. The former founding member of the Kuomintang, the drafter of the Prime Minister's will, and the first chairman of the National Government, "raising the knife to make one happen, and living up to the young people" made many young people passionately devote themselves to the National Revolutionary Camp. His graceful demeanor won the Kuomintang a lot of praise, but today, all glory has been turned into shame by this departure.
