Song Ziwen knew that Mr. Jiang had a good reputation, and after he learned the reason from Dai Li, he was afraid that directly telling Mr. Jiang and his second sister the truth would make him lose face, so he went to Gao Si and asked him to come forward and explain.
Gao Si was a good friend. He not only met with Chiang Kai-shek and explained the situation tactfully, but also gave suggestions. He believed that the only way to achieve this visit was to ask Xuebingjun for help. Finally, he proposed that he would accompany Mrs. Chiang to the United States to complete this visit. During this visit, his original words were as follows: "...Miss Gu Lianyun, the representative of the Xuebing Army in the United States, has a close personal relationship with Mrs. Eleanor. As the Chairman's wife, she can take this route. If Gu Lianyun If Miss is willing to help, I think Mrs. Eleanor’s influence on Mr. President can definitely facilitate this visit..."
Although Chiang Kai-shek was completely unfamiliar with Gu Lianyun, Dai Li was deeply impressed. Gu Lianyun turned out to be a senior agent of the military commander. The military commander originally had certain capabilities in the United States, but thanks to Gu Lianyun, However, they were completely defeated in the battle with the intelligence department of the Xuebing Army stationed in the United States. Then, the military commander became blind when it came to intelligence related to the United States. Now, it was only through Gao Si's mouth that he learned that the Xuebing Army and Washington were actually involved. They are all so close,
When Gao Si was still there, Chiang Kai-shek always maintained restraint out of politeness. But as soon as Gao Si stepped forward, his face darkened, and then he also said "Niang Xipi" in succession: "Niang Xipi" "The reason why China is weak is because of the existence of people like Ouyang Yun. What qualifications does Ouyang Yun have to sign an agreement with the United States? He is just a warlord." Old Jiang became angrier as he scolded, and the words on his forehead became more and more angry. The veins are bulging, and the eyes are so sharp that they can kill people without being seen.
Facing the Chairman's thunderous wrath, Song Ziwen remained silent, lowering his head and not daring to say a word.
Dai Li came out of the back room and stood respectfully, not daring to say a word.
The Xuebing Army was actually quite benevolent towards the Chongqing government, at least that's what Ouyang Yun himself thought. After the Xuebing Army rose to prominence, it gradually became a banner for the nation's resistance war due to its repeated victories. As a result, overseas Chinese began to fight against the Chongqing government. When making donations, ten out of ten people would first choose Xuebingjun. Gradually, all the overseas donations that originally flowed into Chongqing were concentrated in Guangzhou. In this regard, Ouyang Yun behaved quite selflessly and generously, even when Xuebingjun encountered a financial crisis. , did not intercept it, but followed the usual practice, according to the ratio of seven to two to one, seven parts were given to the Chongqing government, two parts were given to GCD, and 10% were exchanged for medical supplies and imported to the rear of the Anti-Japanese War.
However, contrary to the prosperity of the areas under the control of military forces such as Fujian, Guangdong and Qiong, the people's livelihood and economy in areas controlled by the central military such as Chongqing have continued to decline and even eroded. Overseas donations have actually become the main source of income for the Chongqing government. Therefore, Not only did Lao Jiang not think that the Xuebing Army's actions were a selfless move that took the overall situation into consideration, but he was suspicious that the Xuebing Army had taken the lion's share. He even thought that the Xuebing Army's exchange of 10% of donations for medical supplies was an act to win people's hearts. His ulterior motive was to overthrow the central government one day. For Chiang Kai-shek, no matter how corrupt the situation during the war of resistance was, ensuring his dominance was the top priority. Ouyang Yun's move could be said to have touched his natural instincts, so he His prejudice against Xuebingjun and Ouyang Yun deepened, and then, when he suddenly discovered that Xuebingjun had done such a heinous thing in the United States, he dared to sign the Laoshizi Agreement with the United States on behalf of the country as a small local warlord government. Covenant, all kinds of negative emotions came to my heart, and the old man finally broke out in full force,
Song Ziwen and Dai Li were both old Chiang's loyal supporters. In front of them, he didn't have to worry about anything, so the scolding of Ouyang Yun and Xuebingjun actually lasted for about a quarter of an hour, until he felt his mouth was dry and he end,
After venting to his heart's content, the negative things in his head were emptied, and Lao Jiang calmed down. Then he sadly discovered that if he wanted to complete this visit, he had to ask Ouyang Yun for help. Cancel this visit? In his mind His wife's eager eyes appeared, he shook his head and said tiredly: "You two discuss it and see how to negotiate with the Xuebing Army. The economy in the rear is so rotten and the soldiers in the front are hungry. It is difficult to obtain financial aid from the United States. A major event related to the survival of the country coincides with the destruction of the entire U.S. Pacific Fleet. There is no better opportunity than this. The sooner this matter is accomplished, the better."
Song Ziwen thought for a while and asked tentatively: "What if the Xuebing Army opens its mouth like a lion? Ouyang Yun has always been a very hungry person."
"Except for political issues, we can talk about everything."
"Chairman, I actually have some immature ideas." Dai Li said respectfully,
"Tell me about it."
"Yes, some time ago I have been analyzing the reasons for the rapid growth of the Xuebing Army. Through the intelligence and data collected, I found that the most important point is that there has been no war in Guangdong for more than three years, which gave the Xuebing Army A chance for the soldiers to take a breather.”
Lao Jiang listened thoughtfully and said: "Continue talking."
"There are rumors outside that the Xuebing Army fought many victorious battles. I summed it up. Since the Xuebing Army entered Guangdong, it has only fought four major battles, and except for the battle in Fujian, Zhejiang and Jiangxi, the other three battles were all It was fought in areas far away from its own jurisdiction. On the other hand, our Central Army has fought countless large battles. As a result, the number of troops has become smaller and smaller, and the pressure on logistics has also increased. Chairman, the student army is rapidly moving towards External expansion, I think, this is actually an opportunity to weaken the student army." Dai Li spoke very slowly, while observing Chiang Kai-shek's face as he spoke, he looked trembling.
"How do you say this?"
Dai Li licked his lips: "Chairman, don't you find it strange? Since the Anti-Japanese War, why have the Japanese always focused on our Central Army and rarely mobilized heavy troops to attack areas under the jurisdiction of several other forces? The reason is actually very simple. , because the Japanese think that we are the biggest threat. I think that since it is a national war of resistance, our Central Army cannot always be in the front. It is time for the Xuebing Army and the GCD troops to take some responsibility. The Xuebing Army is currently They already govern the entire Guangdong and Fujian, and occupy most of Zhejiang and Jiangxi. If Guangxi is handed over to them for defense, then regardless of their military strength, the Japanese will definitely regard it as the number one threat. "
"Hand over Guangxi to the Xuebing Army." Lao Jiang's eyes flashed with sharpness, and he stared at Dai Li aggressively,
The sweat on Dai Li's forehead immediately dropped.
Lao Jiang himself was also a warlord, and one of the characteristics of warlords is that they care about their territory. Dai Li's words can be said to have hit his back.
