Chapter 6 Stalemate Chapter 7 Dawn (4)
"Women's Leather, your base is so elegant. Looking around the base in the base, there are traces of time now. Ten years of trees, the saplings planted in those days have grown into towering trees. The moss on the corners of the house are emitting green light in the spring sunshine... The edges and corners of the sharp stones have become smooth. The charcoal slag under the feet have been layered up several times, but the traces left by the old students on the playground are still there.
"It was done by previous students." Zhuang Jihua sighed a little. It was the same in Huangpu back then, and he did everything by himself.
"I have heard a long time ago that the Chairman calls this the second Huangpu. You have trained a large number of grassroots cadres for your party, which is something that your party lacks." Zhou Lai seemed unintentionally, and his steps were still slow. He also felt a little moved. It was Zhuang Jihua who set out from this place to create the most successful model that can be regarded as the Kuomintang ruled.
"That's the principal putting gold on my face. It can be compared with Huangpu Island in the past." Zhuang Jihua shook his head and looked at the young people playing in the distance. These people looked so much like them back then. It took him a while to come back and make a gesture: "Director Zhou, please come here."
Zhou Lai did not refuse, and followed Zhuang Jihua to his office. Zhou Gang came to look at the office. The office was also very simple, with only a few chairs and two books on the desk. It was obvious that the office was temporary.
"Director Zhou, did your coming this time bring good news?" After sitting down, Zhuang Jihua didn't chat and went straight to the topic.
"I received instructions from the Central Committee of our Party and decided to negotiate based on the proposal of your party. Commander-in-Chief Zhu De and Deputy Commander-in-Chief Peng Dehuai can serve as commander of the Yicha War Zone, and the New Fourth Army can also be all the people in the north, but our Party also has requirements." Zhou Ganglai told Zhuang Jihua the conditions given by the Central Committee, and finally handed over the documents to Zhuang Jihua. After hearing this, Zhuang Jihua finally breathed a sigh of relief. Since the concessions were made, things would turn around.
"This price is not low." Zhuang Jihua thought about it and felt that Chiang Kai-shek could not accept it all: "Three armies, two, army, two provinces, plus one province. There are more than 100,000 people, and some weapons and equipment in the central government have solved. What is the whole part? Director Zhou. This price is not low."
"We paid a lot of money," Zhou Ganglai said solemnly: "Our concessions prove our party's determination to unite in the war of resistance, so we hope that your party can accept our party's proposal."
"Can you accept it? I must report to the principal." Zhuang Jihua stood up and breathed a sigh of relief: "But I admit that this plan has brought a glimmer of light to the negotiations. Director Zhou, for this light, we should celebrate. Director, I treat you, A Shu's craftsmanship has made great progress in recent years."
"It's better to go in the future." Zhou Zhoulai stood up and smiled and stretched out his hand: "After the agreement is reached, I will definitely come to your house to try my wife's skills."
Zhuang Jihua hesitated a little and held his hand. Shan Liang, who was coming from Zhou Gang, was strong and gentle. The two of them shook hard, but their eyes collided meaningfully in the air.
After seeing Zhou Gang off, Zhuang Jihua did not rush to go to Huangshan’s official residence, but quietly went to the US Embassy to ask for US Ambassador James Jansen. This was another practice that violated diplomatic practices.
"General Zhuang, I have long admired Daqi, but I am hard to see. I don't know what it takes to do when I suddenly came here today?" Jansen was also surprised by Zhuang Jihua's arrival. He brought Zhuang Jihua into his office. After putting aside the boring diplomatic greetings, he asked.
"I believe that the ambassador has some understanding of the current situation in our country." Zhuang Jihua said carefully that he did not know whether these arrogant Americans would obey his arrangements, and that he hoped that the other party would interfere: "The civil war is about to break out, and the Japanese will benefit from this civil war, so I hope your country can exert influence and maintain the current bipartisan cooperation in the fight against Japan.
Jansen looked at Zhuang Jihua with a strange look. Of course he knew what it meant. He couldn't help asking: "General Zhuang, what do you mean is to let our country exert influence and make the Chairman give up the military strike and accept the plan, is that true?"
"Half right" Zhuang Jihua raised his hand and scraped it: "It is to give up military operations and resolve the problem through negotiation. I believe you fully understand the difference."
"Although our government has a certain influence on the chairman, whether he can give up military operations is still a question." Jansen was very hesitant. The hope of the US government was to encourage China to continue to fight. For this reason, the United States provided China with large loans and even allowed China to issue government bonds in the United States. The president is preparing to announce the application of China's borrowing bill.
"Of course, if the Kuomintang and the Communist Party have a civil war. The strength of the war of resistance will inevitably be weakened, and our country is likely to be defeated. So how can the bonds issued by our country in the United States be returned? In addition, the loans provided by the US government to our country are used for the war of resistance, not the civil war." Zhuang Jihua said slowly and carefully.
"But as far as I know, the parties refuse to give in. General Zhuang, you are the negotiator. Cong Yi; the Mumi-in-Law of the relationship between Zhansen was curious, how did you, Zhuang Jihua, use the United States to suppress Chiang Kai-shek?
"We have a big gap in strength from our side. We always take the initiative. As long as we don't take action, we dare not provoke it. So I hope that the Ambassador will use your country's influence. Persuading the Chairman, giving up military action and resolving the differences between the two parties through political negotiations." When saying this, Zhuang Jihua felt like a 25-year-old man who was stingy inside.
Jensen was silent for a while, and quickly measured in his heart whether this move was safe. After a long time, he said slowly: "I can exert influence on this matter. Our government hopes that your country can unite and resist the Japanese together. It is undoubtedly wrong to launch a civil war at this time." "Thank you so much for the ambassador." Zhuang Jihua stood up and looked at Jensen with a smile: "Mr. Ambassador can also go to Huangshan official residence with the British ambassador."
Jansen smiled and held Zhuang Jihua's hand: "General Zhuang, I heard that the Chairman obeyed your advice, why did he do this?"
"There are rumors, and the rumors are wrong." Zhuang Jihua shook his head and said with some ridicule: "Although the principal trusts me very much, it is far from being obedient. There was no in the past, no now, and no in the future.
After arranging these, Zhuang Jihua returned to Ji. He called Zhou Ganglai from Hongyan Village and asked to refuse the negotiation for Zhou. Zhou Lai agreed readily.
Gong Xiuhua was really a little confused this time. According to her understanding, since she received the concession plan, she should report to Chiang Kai-shek as soon as possible. But Zhuang Jihua suppressed it and concealed it from Chiang Kai-shek. She mobilized the British and American ambassadors to put pressure on Chiang Kai-shek first. What exactly is this to do?
"The proposal is very high. Just report it like this, the principal will not agree." Zhuang Jihua explained slowly: "Director Zhou is extremely smart. He knew that the principal would not agree, so he hoped that I could persuade the principal, but I knew that in this matter, I could not influence the principal, and only rely on Britain and the United States. Especially the United States, their influence on the principal was beyond imagination. Only when Jensen spoke, I had a front-line opportunity."
"You are right, what's so tall?" Gong Xiuhua suddenly smiled: "I'm afraid they are unwilling to accept it."
"Smart" Zhuang Jihua gave a thumbs up. He is in a good mood now, and his past keenness returns to himself: "Yan'an's strategy is based on the post-war period. Northern Jiangsu is an important part of their strategy. Losing this link is a major blow to them, and their strategy must be changed. In the future, the competition for North China and Shandong will be more intense. Losing northern Jiangsu and Jiangnan is definitely not what Yan'an wants. I guess it was the Communist International that played its role, and the Soviet Union sacrificed its interests for their own interests."
"In addition, Yan'an began to be so tough because they believed that the military power in northern Jiangsu was not difficult to deal with. Although there were more than 100,000 people in the Sulu War Zone, the elite troops were all stopped. The east confronted the Japanese and the Eighth Route Army. The troops in northern Jiangsu were all adapted from local troops and had low combat power. It turned out that there was an 89th Army. In the battle of Huangqiao, the 89th Army was broken out. But they did not expect that the principal's determination was so great. Not only did he transfer the 47th Army, but he also transferred the 25th Division, and even took Han Deqin. With Guan Linzheng, a general who was good at fighting, they felt that the principal's determination was very great, and the complete breakdown was right in front of him."
"But once it is really broken, neither Moscow nor Yan'an wants to see it. Needless to say, Moscow is still an old problem. Yan'an is most worried about the principal is the road of Wang Jingwei. At that time, Chongqing, Nanjing, and the Japanese joined forces to deal with them. Even if their strength is twice as strong, they will be destined to be eliminated, so he must hold the principal and fight against the war together. But they are unwilling to give up northern Jiangsu like this, so they offer such a price and then look at the principal's reaction."
As he spoke, Zhuang Jihua himself admired himself a little. The complete strategy of the master who had never met in Yan'an cave was unfolded in front of him. The master's question was very big. His concession gained political initiative and sympathy from democratic parties, and also posed a problem for Chiang Kai-shek.
When you should break, you should give up, and when you should give up, you are worthy of being a great strategist.
Zhuang Jihua had to admit that he could not make such a choice, could not give up, and could not make it.
But this also made Zhuang Jihua see the dawn of reaching an agreement. As long as Jameson comes forward, Chiang Kai-shek will not consider the consequences of launching a civil war. At this time, he comes forward again and convinces Chiang Kai-shek to negotiate based on the plan. As long as this is the general principle, the remaining are technical issues of increase or decrease.
As expected, two days later, Chiang Kai-shek asked Zhuang Jihua to go to the Huangshan official residence to report the negotiation process. This was a good signal. He had always asked for a report in the past. This was the first time Chiang Kai-shek took the initiative to report.
