When it comes to negotiation location, Zhuang Jihua did not choose the central government to lead the department as the negotiation location... Oh, and, he chose the Southwest Development Team, but chose the Political Consultative Conference Building in Shangqing Temple, where the Political Consultative Conference is located. This building was originally owned by the Resources Committee. After the Political Consultative Conference moved to Chongqing, Weng Wenbin gave the three-story building to the Political Consultative Conference.

When Zhou Gang came to enter the negotiation venue with Dong Wu Bogu, what surprised him was that not only Zhuang Jihua, He Zhonghan and Zhang Chong, but also Zhang Lan, Huang Yanpei and Chen Junru, but the three of them were sitting in the middle of the two parties.

"Mr. Zhou" Zhou Zhou came to hear the first sentence and knew what Zhuang Jihua meant. He was telling him that today's affairs were official. Zhuang Jihua said with no expression: "Although today is a negotiation between the two parties, the negotiation between the two parties is a matter of the state. So I invited democratic parties outside the two parties to participate in the audit, and asked them to serve as spokespersons to inform outside reporters about the negotiation process. In addition, I asked both parties not to talk about the matters during the negotiation process, and all the three of them were responsible for the outside speech. This is my own decision. I wonder what your opinions are?"

"Since it is related to both parties, I ask the democrats to supervise it, why didn't we discuss it with us in advance, but now we are in a sudden attack?" Bo Gu was very angry. This obviously gave a difficult problem. Is it against it, that is, disrespectful to democrats, and any problems will arise in the future, and it will be a problem. If you agree, you will be at a disadvantage in terms of momentum.

"I thought of this yesterday, so I temporarily notified Mr. Zhang and others. They were also very worried about the current relationship between the two parties and agreed to attend the negotiations between the two parties and serve as the spokesperson for the negotiations." Zhuang Jihua said this and thought about it, "Let's do it, I'm really rash. Now let's talk about this issue. If your party does not agree," he turned his head and said to Zhang Lan and the other two: "Then we can only ask the three to avoid it. It's understandable that they oppose it. After all, I didn't do it in advance without their consent."

Zhou Ganglai smiled coldly. Zhuang Jihua's performance as similar to acting seemed generous, but in fact, if they agreed, they would leave a bad impression among the democratic parties no matter what.

"Cousin, Mr. Chu, Mr. Bingfu, I'm sorry." Zhou Ganglai gave Zhang Lan and the other two a slight salute, looked up at them and said seriously: "We have always supported democracy and advocated that Fengguo take the path of democracy, but we really cannot agree to what happened today. General Zhuang took this sudden attack method. "

Zhang Lan and Huang Yanpei exchanged glances with each other, and finally Zhang Lan replied on behalf of the three: "We understand, Duke Zhou and General Zhuang, I hope you can eliminate the war disaster for the sake of the country and nation. The gun must be consistent with the outside world."

"Please don't worry, my party will do its best to eliminate the differences between the two parties." Zhuang Jihua replied before Zhou Gang came.

Zhou Gang came and was not showing weakness. He smiled faintly: "General Zhuang's attitude is very good. I hope you can do what you say. As for our party, our party has always advocated unity in the war of resistance and peaceful resolution of disputes between the two parties."

After all, Zhuang Jihua secretly admired Zhou Gang's move, which not only resolved the offensive but also occupied a political height, saying that his approach was responding to the call of flying. He suppressed him vaguely.

Zhuang Jihua laughed: "After the Chairman delivered the Lushan talk, our party has always insisted on uniting all walks of life to fight against the Japanese invaders. Over the past three years, soldiers have stained the battlefield with blood and wiped out nearly one million Japanese troops, which is witnessed by the Chinese people. In order to resist the war, the government strictly implemented rent and interest reduction in various parts of the southwest, and to control prices, it also carried out material control. All of this proves the government's determination to resist the war. The government has always adopted preferential measures for your party, from the beginning of the War of Resistance Against Japan to the present. Although the government's military expenditure is insufficient, the military expenditure of the Eighth Route Army and the New Fourth Army has never been issued less. All of this proves the government's sincerity to unite with the Party."

"A group of nonsense" Bo Gu slapped: "The Eighth Route Army's military expenditure has never been paid enough, and the New Fourth Army's military expenditure has been deducted. The Party has created disputes in North China, northern Jiangsu, Shandong, and various places, setting off a wave, and is still brazen here!"

"No, I have checked the funds distributed by the Military Order. The Eighth Route Army's New Fourth Army has always been given enough military funds. The Eighth Route Army has more than 30,000 people and the New Fourth Army has more than 10,000 people. The military funds are still collected by the Central Committee of Shaanxi, Gansu and Ningxia. If necessary, I can show you the signature of the person in charge of the military funds received by your party." Zhuang Jihua's expression was still calm.

Zhang Lan and others stood there, feeling heavy, especially Zhang Lan and Zhuang Jihua in Sichuan for eight years. He was deeply impressed by him. "The situation today was created by this person, and in terms of this, Zhou Ganglai's character and demeanor were also admirable. Now the two parties have not started formal negotiations, but they have already faced each other and refused to give in. These two negotiators are in a match against each other. A fierce battle is inevitable. Can the danger of civil war be eliminated? "30,000, General Zhuang is underestimating my New Fourth Army of the Eighth Route Army." Bo Gu sneered repeatedly, but Zhou Ganglai interrupted him, smiling and using Wang Jihua! General Zhuang, are we going to start now."

Zhuang Jihua sighed slightly. Bo Gu had already stepped into his trap. Zhou Gang's interruption made him unable to pursue it for the time being. He smiled at Zhou: "Mr. Zhou, please sit down. Our party has no plan to suppress the small in this negotiation. Both parties are equal." Zhuang Jihua never spoke and asked Zhang Lan and others to leave. Zhou Gang didn't speak. Zhang Lan and the other two smiled bitterly. Huang Yanpei bowed to the two and said, "Two. Let's leave temporarily. If there is anything we need, we will definitely help today.

"Thank you all." Zhou stood up and returned the salute to the three of them, and Zhuang Jihua also stood up: "Please tell all my friends that I will participate in the negotiations. It proves that our party hopes to resolve the dispute between the two parties through negotiations."

After Zhang Lan and the other two left, everyone who participated in the negotiations sat down again. Zhang Chong took out a document and handed it to Zhou Ganglai: "This is the proposition of our party. Given that conflicts in northern Jiangsu, North China, Shandong and Jiangnan are constantly changing. This conflict is an apparent military conflict, but in fact it is a political reason. There are currently two governments in China, the National Government of Chongqing and the National Party Government of Yan'an. The New Fourth Army of the Eighth Route Army has always disobeyed the command of the National Government and is the command of the Yan'an government. Only by resolving these two governments and unifying the command of the army can the conflict between the two parties be finally completely resolved."

Zhou Ganglai listened silently, and after Zhang Chong finished introducing, he took out a document and handed it to Zhuang Jihua: "This is our party's proposition. As Mr. Zhang said, there are constant armed conflicts in various places, and we also advocate resolving political differences first. But how to resolve this difference? Our party believes that the government should be resolved first. The current government is a government of your party and one party. A coalition government should be formed and then a constitution is formulated. Only with this foundation can we talk about the unified command of the army. This document contains all the propositions of our party, and we hope to negotiate based on this document."

He Zhonghan couldn't help but say, "Our opinion is based on our party's propositions. Our party represents the people of the whole country. Your party also admitted to accepting the leadership of the chairman during the negotiations. But now he has thrown out such a document. He actually negotiates based on your documents. Isn't this contrary to the agreement reached at the beginning?"

"Our party accepts the leadership of the chairman, but not the leadership of your party." Dong Biwu retorted calmly, with the two white beards on the corner of his mouth trembling slightly: "Our two parties are politically equal, and our party will never accept such unequal treatment."

Although he had some estimates of the difficulty of the negotiation, Zhuang Jihua still did not expect that the degree of difficulty was far beyond his estimate. With just such a basis for negotiation, it would probably take several rounds of negotiations. At such a slow speed, Chiang Kai-shek probably would not have the patience. After Li Zongfang arrived in Wuhe, he sent him a telegram to inquire about his strategy after the eastward advance. He had not yet thought about what to do, so he had to call back and continue to move eastward advance. After entering northern Jiangsu, he followed Huang Shaojing's arrangements.

But once Chiang Kai-shek insists on encirclement and suppression by force, Huang Shaojing may not be able to withstand it. Li Zongfang needs all the materials and equipment he needs from the local area when he is behind the enemy. He cannot ignore Chiang Kai-shek, otherwise he will have to catch him blindly as long as he cut off his materials and supplies.

"I have always advocated democracy," Zhuang Jihua said in accordance with Dong Biwu's words: "Although the current negotiations are only a matter between our two parties, I also hope that democratic figures will participate in supervision. Therefore, I would like to ask your party to agree. Zhang Lan, Huang Yanpei and Shen Junru, three representatives of democratic parties, participated in the negotiations, and acted as the spokespersons for negotiations. Of course, they only have the right to listen and have no right to speak. I don't know what Mr. Zhou wants."

Zhou Ganglai looked at Zhuang Jihua silently. He was guessing in his heart that Zhuang Jihua's purpose of doing this. In the past, both Chen Lifu and Chen Cheng were relatively calm in attitude. However, in his tone, Laozi's tone of the world was still the best in the world, and he did not pay any attention to the democratic parties. However, Zhuang Jihua was completely different from them and attached great importance to the democratic parties. He even had a sense of flattery.

Chen Ning for a while, Zhou Yulai slowly said: "I agree, but the news spokesperson should be represented by one of our two parties.

"That's not the argument that we're over here, and we're going to the press conference again." Zhuang Jihua spread his hands and looked at Zhou Zhoulai with wide eyes, looking helpless.

Zhou Ganglai was stunned, then couldn't help but point at Zhuang Jihua and laughed: "You are still like when you were Huangpu, and you haven't changed at all."

"I'm telling the truth." Zhuang Jihua was very innocent.

"Okay, we agree, just do what you said, Zhou Gang came to agree, and Zhuang Jihua also smiled and said, "Since that's the case, let's end today's negotiations. We will start again tomorrow. The first topic is to use whose documents as the basis."

"Okay, but tomorrow won't work. I suggest you get the day after tomorrow." Zhou Ganglai stood up and stretched out his hand: "I have a meeting tomorrow to attend."
