"Boyuan, come on, let me introduce Mr. Enlai to you?" Zhao Zhigang, who was wearing a suit and tie, walked into the living room of the Nan'an Villa, and was looked at by Chiang Kai-shek, who looked around and looked at him with a complacent look. Zhao Zhi, who had just picked up the plate and was ready to eat, had to put down the delicious food and walked to the corner where Chiang Kai-shek and Zhou Enlai were sitting silently.
Zhao Zhi came to attend the reception party hosted by Chiang Kai-shek, which was specially designed for negotiations between the Kuomintang and the Communist Party. The ** delegation led by Zhou Enlai was naturally the protagonist of the party. Before the butt was hot, Chiang Kai-shek called him. Zhao Zhi was very displeased, but the other guests in the hall looked at Zhao Zhi with envy and jealousy. They all knew that Zhao Zhi was the upstart in the national government, but they did not expect that Chiang Kai-shek would attach so much importance to Zhao Zhi.
Zhao Zhi had long been mentally prepared for the hostility of others, but he didn't care, because Thunder and the forces represented by these people did not have conflicts of interest. Regardless of Chiang Kai-shek's surprised expression, Zhao Zhi extended his hand to Zhou Enlai and greeted him, "Mr. Enlai, we meet again, hello." Chiang Kai-shek is an excellent politician, and politics has always been dirty. Zhao Zhi's people who did not believe in the Military Control Commission did not report Zhou Enlai's visit to him in the hotel. Instead of letting Chiang Kai-shek be suspicious in his heart, it would be better to take the opportunity to speak out directly and openly.
"Oh, you've all met?" Although Chiang Kai-shek's expression was surprised, the calmness in his eyes proved that he had known about Zhou Enlai and Zhao Zhi's meeting. It was indeed impossible to hide it from him. Zhao Zhi noticed Chiang Kai-shek's expression and muttered in his heart. Chiang Kai-shek can now use Thunder, so he treats him with courtesy everywhere. I believe that when a conflict of interest between Thunder and the National Government of Thunder and Kyung-shek will kick Thunder away without hesitation, of course, including himself.
"I have long admired General Zhang's reputation for a long time. Today I happened to be doing business near the hotel where General Zhang stayed, so I took a seat." Zhou Enlai was a little puzzled by Zhao Zhi's approach to greet him. The intelligence department analyzed Zhao Zhi that this person was good at planning first and then acting. Taking the initiative to visit Zhang Zhi was the idea of killing two birds with one stone. If Zhao Zhi failed to win over, he would let go out and say that Zhao Zhi met with the representative of ** privately so that Thunder and the Kuomintang had a crack. But he didn't expect that Zhao Zhi didn't take this matter seriously at all.
"Why are Mr. Chiang and Mr. Enlai so happy to talk about?" After receiving Chiang Kai-shek's gesture, Zhao Zhi sat down on the sofa next to Chiang Kai-shek and Zhou Enlai.
"We were just talking about the arrangements for the Shandong war. You happened to be back from the Shandong battlefield just now. Tell us your views on the Shandong war. War is your key skills, and we can't compare to you." The Shandong war made Chiang Kai-shek proud during this period. When all national troops turned to the defense interruption, there was only Shandong on the entire anti-Japanese battlefield. The two provinces of Hebei were fighting in full swing. It happened that the combat plans of these two battlefields were planned and implemented by Zhao Zhi. The person with the most say in the Shandong war was Zhao Zhi himself.
"It's hard to say. Things on the battlefield change rapidly. There is a fixed pattern. This depends on actual information." Chiang Kai-shek and Zhou Enlai are both good military theorists, but they are not qualified military commanders. The tactical directions they formulated may be possible, but if the battlefield tactics were formulated, it might be a short time to ignite.
"Look, this is a rough sketch of Shandong and Hebei." After being glared at by Chiang Kai-shek, Zhao Zhi had no choice but to dip his finger in wine and draw a sketch on the table. "Here, the Japanese and puppet troops here have been forced to retreat to Hebei, which means that the large area here has become a buffer zone between us and the Japanese army." Zhao Zhi used the map of the wine talk in Thailand, and he was afraid that only he knew what it represented. Chiang Kai-shek, who was impatient, simply asked the attendant to find a large map for Zhao Zhi to explain.
"Please see, the narrow area west of Jiaodong and Jinan has been controlled by our thunderous Myanmar troops. The Youth Army has also taken over Liaocheng and Xingtai. After the 74th Army took over Dezhou and Binzhou, it has completed the construction of the defense line. In other words, our strategy of cutting off the Japanese army's north-south land transportation connections in Shandong has been completed. The next thing is how to expand its advantages and mobilize large forces to go north and south to further expand the control area." The map was spread out on the table, and there were more than just Chiang Kai-shek and Zhou Enlai, and almost all the military generals who attended the cocktail party came over.
"Okamura Yanji has been sent to the hospital for treatment, and now the young army is preparing to besiege Shijiazhuang. I think the Japanese army should quickly select a new dispatcher commander to replace Okamura Yanji. If the Japanese army has changed its commander, their playing style will definitely be adjusted accordingly. This requires our troops to adapt and find weaknesses from it. So my opinion is to be careful and cautious to slowly erode the Japanese-controlled areas for the battalion."
"Does that mean that some newspapers reported that the counterattack was simply fabricated?" A woman who looked like a reporter squeezed to Zhao Zhi and asked. The guards of the State Government, who were in charge of guarding, turned a blind eye to the female reporter. Anyway, they were asking about Zhao Zhi and Chiang Kai-shek did not speak, so they had to protect Chiang Kai-shek's safety.
"Can I say this is just your personal guess?" As a result, the baton handed over by Chiang Kai-shek's personal servant, Zhao Zhi smiled and pointed it heavily at the Shijiazhuang location. "This is Shijiazhuang, Xingtai, and Hengshui have been taken down by us. Shijiazhuang has actually become an isolated city. Our troops scattered around Shijiazhuang can be besieged at any time. Wars will kill people. It cannot be completed by just talking with a mouth in the playhouse, so we must be careful."
"The plan for the large-scale counterattack has been improved. The Youth Army now has more than 10,000 soldiers in Shandong and Hebei to fight against the Japanese army. The 74th Army has all replaced American equipment. Moreover, our Thunder has also deployed more than 400,000 Burmese mercenaries and 50,000 Jewish troops in Shandong. These forces together exceed 700,000. A large-scale counterattack is not impossible, but we need to formulate a combat plan before we can implement it." Zhao Zhi deliberately concealed the reserves and replenished forces of the 50,000 army. If they were added to the second batch of Jewish troops that were about to land in Jiaodong, they were actually active in Shandong, and the anti-Japanese armed forces in Hebei had exceeded 800,000.
"So General Zhao, can you reveal the approximate time of the counterattack first? I think the people should be very concerned about this time." Zhao Zhi's answer was too general. The brave female reporter seemed to have not got the answer she wanted. Seeing that the guards of the government did not drive him away, they simply chose some sensitive topics to ask.
"Military secrets, no one can tell me." The previous ones were all said by Chiang Kai-shek to Zhao Zhi. The intention was nothing more than to make the senior officials attending the reception have a clear understanding of the Shandong war. But what the female reporter asked about had already involved combat plans. As the maker of the large counterattack plan, Zhao Zhi would not be so stupid that he could get the answer from him just by himself. The four words "no advice" became the most said by Zhao Zhi in the second half of the reception. Even when Chiang Kai-shek asked about the plan, Zhao Zhi shook his head and refused to answer.
"Find a place to eat something. Next time there will be such a cocktail party, remember not to tell me, I will starve me to death." When I got into Dai Li's car, Zhao Zhi hurriedly asked the driver to drive to find a place to eat. It was Chiang Kai-shek's idea to notify Zhao Zhi to attend the cocktail party, but now Zhao Zhi, who was hungry, vented his anger on Dai Li, and the latter could only secretly complain.
"Boyuan, those who are qualified to attend the cocktail party are people valued by the chairman or have a strong position in the party. The chairman will ask you to attend this kind of thing for your own good. You kid don't want to thank me, and you dare to get angry at me. Be careful that I will go to sue you for your illegitimate lawsuit with my brother and sister." Dai Li had no choice but to follow Zhao Zhi to eat at night. Who made him owe Zhao Zhi favors? After Zhao Zhi led his troops north to Shandong, there were a lot of antique calligraphy and paintings in Dai Li's home, most of which were sent by Zhao Zhi. This is the reason for using someone's hand.
Zhao Zhi was not very interested in Dai Li's remarks, and it was even better to attract Zhao Zhi's ideas, "Save it, I am not a member of your Kuomintang, and Thunder is not your ** organization, and my people don't take the military pay from your National Government. I ran to show my face. I still understand the principle that the big tree attracts wind and pig fat and gets knifed. Do you think I'll get a black gun as soon as I go out?" After eating two bowls of red oil, Zhao Zhi stopped. He knew that Dai Li had something to say to send him to him.
"Tell me the truth, are you going to go south to withdraw all the troops?" Zhao Zhi suddenly returned to Chongqing out of Chiang Kai-shek's instructions, but Dai Li didn't know this. Moreover, when Zhao Zhi returned to Chongqing, he brought back a large number of mercenaries. He didn't even avoid the meeting between the military supervisors and Zhou Enlai of the **. All of this allowed Dai Li to come to a conclusion that Zhao Zhi was about to leave the Shandong War Zone, and the command of the battlefield would be transferred to the ** people to control it.
"At night, Mr. Chiang asked the same thing, and I said I hadn't made a decision yet, but the Americans have been urging me to send troops to the South Asian battlefield to relieve their pressure. You also know that Mr. Chiang attaches great importance to American military aid, so I am also in a dilemma." Zhao Zhi, who had a cigar in his hand, said vaguely. Using Americans as excuses was an excuse that Zhao Zhi had discussed with Rowling long ago. Only in this way could Zhao Zhi withdraw from the domestic battlefield to do his own thing.
