No one could have imagined that Chiang Kai-shek would soon take over all the power, while Li Zongren chose to leave quietly.
Li Zongren walked into Meng Da's living room, and he couldn't help but be stunned by the surprising scene. The table was filled with various iron boxes and cans, including beef, mutton, pork, ham, chicken, duck, turkey, ham, and salmon.
, tuna, sardines and even canned rabbit.
"Come, you are a distinguished guest, try the military food we produce." Meng Da smiled, opened all the cans, and distributed an aluminum spoon to each person.
Li Zongren was surprised when he cut out the box and stuffed it into his mouth. He couldn't help but taste the sweetness. Everyone was eating happily, and they were all attracted by this delicious food. Meng Da said cheerfully: "Our food
There are more than 300 kinds of processing, this is the third improved formula, and I need your suggestions."
Li Zongren sighed and put down his spoon, sat down, lit a cigarette, took a puff and said, "I'm going to live in country M."
"Oh? You are the vice president and the acting president, so you are willing to give up your supreme power?" Meng Da was very surprised and asked with a humorous tone.
"The Guangxi troops have been besieged in Hubei, and all the political capital I rely on for survival is going to be destroyed!" Li Zongren did not avoid his true thoughts and spoke out bluntly.
"Did Chiang Kai-shek take away your power again?" Meng Da sneered coldly, looking careless in his words.
"Young soldiers and horses, old flowers in the old age. I tried to save the country through peace talks but failed. I am depressed and no longer want to run on a dark official career. Commander Meng, how long will I come to stay with you temporarily? You won't object, right?"
"Hahahaha, any guest here is welcome." Meng Da asked Wang Yun'er to bring tea. He poured a cup for Li Zongren and handed it over.
"The Battle of Hubei was very fierce?" Xue Yue was very surprised. How could he not know about such a big thing?
"The battle in Hubei is a foregone conclusion."
"Ah!" Everyone couldn't help but exclaimed, is this the end of more than 300,000 troops?
Meng Da looked at Qiu Qingquan and said harshly: "If I hadn't locked you up forcibly, you would have died too!"
"The Central Plains are finished!" Li Zongren said with a sigh.
"Shandong was lost, and Zhongye occupied Zhengzhou at a very small cost. After Kaifeng, the Battle of Xuzhou will be the largest number of Kuomintang troops wiped out. Fu Zuoyi was deeply wary of Chiang Kai-shek's rejection of dissidents and was unwilling to retreat southward. This
At that time, Fu Zuoyi's troops were shocked by the People's Liberation Army's victory in the Yellow River North and had become "frightened birds." Just wait, in less than three months, the Central Plains and Xi'an will all fall into the hands of the Republicans!"
Meng Da was not too surprised. The time had advanced a few years, but the course of the war had not changed at all. He glanced at Li Zongren and said: "Where is the Chairman going? Xinjiang? Or Myanmar?"
"Do you think Sichuan is not safe?" Xue Yue asked in surprise.
"They will pursue their victory and attack Sichuan from Wuchang, Xi'an, and Hanzhong. If the war continues for at most one year, the Kuomintang troops will be completely destroyed! It is a pity that millions of lives were lost by our Chairman in the civil war after the victory of the Anti-Japanese War.
superior!"
Li Zongren clearly realized that Meng Da's analysis was reasonable, and sighed and said: "I came to Hong Kong to recuperate and cause trouble for you."
"There is no trouble. General Li, are you really willing to retire from official career? Have you not considered staying?" Meng Da wanted to retain Li Zongren, so he took the opportunity to speak out.
"I'm completely disheartened, and I won't let Chiang Kai-shek call me a traitor."
"Hahahaha, those who know the current affairs are heroes, good birds choose trees to roost, and good ministers choose their masters to work. Don't General Li understand these principles? Stay, there is no official position here, it is all for the future of the country
.”
Li Zongren was shocked. After thinking about it, he shook his head and said, "It's too late to regret it. I understand what you mean. Thank you!"
"Now that the general has made up his mind, I can't force you to stay. I have a manor in Los Angeles that I gave to General Li as a place to stay." Meng Da could only regret it, but he was unwilling to force anyone to do anything.
"Ah, this-"
"General Li, there is no need to say thank you. Money is an external possession."
Meng Da asked Wang Yun'er to send Li Zongren's family to rest, and then talked about the current situation with his mentor and others. Qiu Qingquan stood up anxiously: "The four provinces in the south of the Yangtze River have very few troops living along the Yangtze River. Aren't you worried?"
"Worried? What am I worried about?" Meng Da asked with a smile.
"The rabbit bites people when it's anxious. Those defeated soldiers——"
"Hahahaha, he dares to enter Jiangnan and eliminate them without handing over guns! Don't worry, Chiang Kai-shek will not give these people to me. If I predict correctly, he will let all the troops defend Sichuan after the Hubei War.
"Mengda is not worried at all, and will not send troops to guard the Yangtze River.
"Aren't you afraid of them?" Luo Zhuoying couldn't help but interjected and asked.
"When all the rebels withdraw from the Central Plains, I will open the door and use only the police to guard the Yangtze River." Meng Da smiled strangely, but did not reveal his purpose or plan.
"Hey, is it your frightened bird again?" Xue Yue couldn't help laughing. Others were stepping up their defense, but Meng Da opened the door to welcome guests.
Huang Shaohong, the chairman of the Guangxi Provincial Government, was very angry. Seeing that the Central Plains was about to be lost, Jiang Jishi sent him to be the chairman of the Anwei Provincial Government. He knew that this was killing someone with a borrowed knife, and he would not let his hometown be harmed by others. But he did not expect that,
The snobbish ** on the battlefield in the Central Plains came to Guangxi to rob and plunder in order to quickly expand their troops!
"Damn it, force me to rebel! Give me a call: Guangxi will return to the sphere of influence of the four Jiangnan provinces from today on, and Huang Shaohong will withdraw from the Kuomintang from today on!"
Hong Kong was dispatching troops. After hearing about it, Qiu Qingquan was not to be outdone. He personally led three divisions in Jiangxi to capture Wuhan and other important cities. After the Hong Kong army cut off the retreat of the defeated army, these people automatically laid down their weapons.
Liu Tai was extremely depressed. After traveling such a long distance without fighting a single battle, the 600,000 troops from two provinces surrendered.
"Reorganize the troops and form eighteen army divisions!" Liu Tai could only follow the original plan and order the army to be reorganized on the spot. All the original officers were dismissed, and the troops he led were assigned to serve as grassroots officers.
Huang Shaohong came, and Liu Tai hurriedly greeted him: "Chairman Huang, our commander said that you are a very good local official. He wants you to be the chairman of the Guangxi Provincial Government with peace of mind. General Xue Yue will come to help you reorganize the government agencies."
"Thank you!" Huang Shaohong said with emotion: "I am an old fool. I should have embarked on the same path with you a year ago. Seeing the changes in Guangzhou and Zhejiang, I regret it!"
Liu Tai said cheerfully: "Actually, we have no intention of dominating Jiangnan and becoming warlords. We just want to protect our family and the people."
"Understood, you have not gained any benefits in the five provinces south of the Yangtze River, but you have invested a lot of money. General Zhang Zhizhong has already called me and said that the only way out for China is to work with you."
"Hahahaha, we won't do it with anyone."
"oh?"
"Jiangnan is yours to govern, we are just business partners." Liu Tai explained with a smile.
Huang Shaohong said in amazement: "Everyone has discussed it and we all know that you have no such intention. However, someone from the current seven provinces must stand up. Do you really want General Zhang Zhizhong to come forward?"
"Of course! Don't say that our commander will not be your leader. Even the governor of Hong Kong has given up to his mentor."
"Ah, how could it be like this?" Huang Shaohong was surprised.
The 600,000 troops will be reduced to 18 divisions and more than 300,000 troops. Meng Da has already made a plan. Liu Tai smiled and said to Huang Shaohong: "Guangxi has a lot of mineral resources. Our commander said he is ready to cooperate with you to build
With more than a dozen types of minerals being developed, these people can just stay as workers."
"clever!"
"This is a plan drawn up by our commander. Please work with General Zhang Zhizhong and General Xue Yue to study and develop the plan. In addition, to quickly resume agricultural production, all roads must be repaired in a short time. x Hong Kong will allocate some machinery to you
Equipment, you can repay it later with ores and taxes.”
"Thank you, thank you!" Huang Shaohong said gratefully, and he and Liu Tai walked towards the garrison compound.
This time Meng Da had murderous intentions. All soldiers who committed crimes in Jiangxi and Guangxi must be publicly tried and severely suppressed. The Chinese people do not need this garbage and must use thunderbolt means to combat this arrogance. In just one week
, as many as thousands of people were shot, and everyone was shocked. Those who kill must pay with their lives, and those who do evil will not have a good end!
Zhu Jiahua was also thinking about the problem. Jiangnan has developed to the territory of seven provinces, and now it still has an incorrect name. There is no correct name for it. He raised his head and looked at Meng Da: "Guangxi and Jiangxi have already been included. You should
Let them unify."
"This is inevitable, but it's not me who shows up, but you!"
"ah!"
"Since we are a people's army, we cannot leave a laughing stock and establish a short-lived government. I propose to make a public declaration with the theme of joint autonomy of seven provinces and waiting for the reunification of the motherland. General Zhang Zhizhong and you are all suitable leaders, x
No one in Hong Kong will participate. Remember, we are waiting for the reunification of the motherland!"
Zhu Jiahua was moved by the students. If he wanted to stand up now, no one in the seven provinces of Jiangnan would object to him becoming a leader. But he was still like this and did not change his original idea at all. Li Zongren sighed and said: "Others say you are a madman.
, I think you are a fool!"
"Hahahaha, can a crazy and stupid person make me? You remind me of Jigong of the Southern Song Dynasty, [who walked the world in rags, punished evil, punished adultery, and debated right and wrong.]"
"Now that you have made up your mind, I will rush over and hold a meeting with General Zhang Zhizhong and others to formulate a detailed plan. My child, don't worry about anything, just let your hands and feet go and go for it!" Zhu Jiahua persuaded Meng Da,
After saying that, he left quickly.
Meng Da understood his mentor's mood very well. He also thought of his ancestor Huang Chao's deeds that had been passed down for generations. But he thought he was a devil in the world and would never become a great person. He also understood that history could not be changed, so he could not bear it. He
What needs to be done is not to achieve hegemony, but to make due contributions to the Chinese nation.
"Report, the Japanese have deployed a large number of troops in Yunnan and Guizhou. Commander Liu Tai thinks they are going to go to war with us!" Fengdie, who has become a bride, appeared charmingly at the airport.
"Start a war? Does he dare? Tell Liu Tai to step up the local security rectification in Jiangxi and intensify the training of the new army. The troops will be dispersed to various cities for defense, and the headquarters will be stationed in Wuhan!"
