Chairman Chiang and several staff members were discussing the progress of the Battle of Changsha.
Since the Battle of Changsha started, Chairman Chiang has been living and eating at the headquarters and rarely goes home. However, compared with previous battles, Chairman Chiang has indeed made progress, at least he hardly skips the level of command. However,
I will never get rid of my habit of caring about the progress of the war.
However, the Second Battle of Changsha had just broken out, and both sides were still testing each other, so the fighting was not very intense, and there were not many things to care about. After a moment of discussion, Chairman Chiang felt thirsty.
Immediately, I sat down, picked up the tea cup, and prepared to drink Longjing to relieve fatigue. It is the best Longjing.
However, at this moment, the captain of the guard Wang Shihe suddenly walked in.
Commission! Wang Shihe reported: "This is the urgent telegram Hu Zongnan just sent from Xi'an."
"Shoushan's telegram?" Chairman Chiang moved his hands after hearing this. Chairman Chiang still valued Hu Zongnan very much. Among all Huangpu students, Hu Zongnan was promoted the fastest and was the first to become a division commander.
, the first to be a corps commander, the first to be a corps commander, and even the first to be a group army commander, without exception was Hu Zongnan.
At that moment, Chairman Chiang asked again: "What did the telegram say? Has the Communist Party taken any action?"
According to Chairman Chiang's secret order, Hu Zongnan has secretly begun to implement an economic blockade on Yan'an. The Shaanxi-Gansu-Ningxia Border Region has begun to experience shortages of materials and prices have begun to soar. Therefore, Chairman Chiang's heart has begun to tighten, fearing that the Communist Party will
This was used as an excuse to launch retaliatory actions.
"Not really." Wang Shihe shook his head and said, "The telegram said that Xu Rui planned to dredge the Baotou Tea Road to restore Baotou's tea trade with Russia, so he sent a telegram to Hu Zongnan specifically asking Shaanxi Province
We will fully cooperate and facilitate trade for Shanxi merchants who go south to Guanzhong to sell tea."
In the early Qing Dynasty, tea merchants from Jin started selling tea as far away as Jiangsu, Zhejiang and Fujian.
However, at the end of the Qing Dynasty, Shanxi merchants began to plant tea in southern Shaanxi and Huguang. They no longer had to go to Fujian to sell tea. This greatly shortened the distance on the tea road and also saved costs. So now Shanxi merchants only need to go south to sell tea in Guanzhong.
Well, Guanzhong is now Hu Zongnan’s territory, so Hu Zongnan’s cooperation is needed.
"What are you talking about, clearing the tea road?" Upon hearing this, Chairman Chiang spit out the tea in his mouth.
It happened that Chen Cheng came over and wanted to talk to Chairman Chiang, but was sprayed all over his face. He was so stupid that he didn't wipe it or not. Fortunately, Chairman Chiang reacted and quickly took out a handkerchief to help him dry it.
, and then said to Wang Shihe: "What did you just say, that Xu Rui plans to clear the Baotou Tea Road?"
"Yes." Wang Shihe nodded, "That's indeed what the telegram said."
"Humph, it's simply fantastic." Chairman Chiang said disdainfully, "How can it be so easy to clear the tea road? There are so many problems involved in this process. Not to mention that he is just a regiment leader, but he is also the leader of Yan'an.
*If you come forward, you may not be able to settle the matter, so please reply to Hu Zongnan immediately and tell him not to pay attention."
"Yes!" Wang Shihe responded. Just as he was about to turn around and leave, Chen Cheng stopped him.
Chen Cheng stopped Wang Shihe and asked: "Has the Communist Party made a fuss about this matter?"
"Yes." Wang Shihe nodded and said, "Xu Rui seems to have held a special press conference in Baotou, and Xinhua News Agency also published a commentator's article on this."
"Is there such a thing?" Chairman Chiang's expression changed slightly and he said, "Shihe, please find Xinhua Daily."
Wang Shihe agreed and immediately brought the two days' worth of Xinhua Daily from the attendant's room to Chairman Chiang Kai-shek.
After reading Xinhua Daily, Chairman Chiang added: "Has it been reprinted in other major newspapers, such as Shenbao, Ta Kung Pao?"
"No." Wang Shihe shook his head and said, "As far as I know, apart from Xinhua Daily and Suiyuan Daily, no other newspapers seem to have reported this matter. At least, major newspapers like Shenbao and Ta Kung Pao have definitely not reported it."
"That's okay." Chairman Jiang breathed a sigh of relief and said, "This way the impact will not be big."
What Chairman Chiang is most worried about is that the impact has already been caused, and in this case he will inevitably be kidnapped by public opinion.
But at this time, Chen Cheng rolled his eyes and said, "Commissioner, I suddenly feel that this matter is a bit strange."
"Is there something fishy?" Chairman Chiang was stunned for a moment, then asked again, "Ci Xiu, what do you think is fishy?"
Chen Cheng replied: "Commissioner, in my humble impression, the Communist Party has always been very good at using the tool of public opinion, but why didn't it do so in a big way this time?" After a pause, Chen Cheng added, "This probably means that Xu Rui or Xu Rui
It is said that the CCP does not really want to clear up the Baotou Tea Road, but only uses this as an excuse to stabilize the situation in Baotou."
"That's true." Chairman Jiang suddenly said, "A while ago, Baotou was turned upside down by Yao Dahai. It is possible that Xu Rui deliberately created such a big picture in order to stabilize the situation."
Chen Cheng said: "Commissioner, why don't we take advantage of this opportunity to add fuel to the fire?"
Chairman Chiang said: "Ci Xiu, do you mean to help Xu Rui build momentum? Then if it succeeds, it will be good. Guanzhong can collect commercial taxes and tea farmers in southern Shaanxi can gain profits. But if it fails, Xu Rui
It is inevitable that they will be roasted on the fire, and then the CCP will also lose its prestige. Am I right?"
"Yes." Chen Cheng nodded, "This matter is beneficial to the party and the country but not harmful!"
"In fact, there are still some harms." He Yingqin on the side suddenly interjected, "If the Baotou tea road is really cleared, Guanzhong will certainly receive commercial taxes, and the tea farmers in southern Shaanxi will also benefit, but the biggest benefit will be the tea from Baotou.
Shang, similarly, as the actual controller of Baotou City, Xu Rui's economic benefits are far greater than those of the party-state."
Chen Cheng retorted: "Does Brother Jing think that Xu Rui can really clear the tea road?"
He Yingqin quickly waved his hand and said, "Brother Cixiu was joking, I didn't say that."
"That's it." Chen Cheng said, "The possibility of Xu Rui really clearing the tea road can be said to be very slim, so once public opinion is formed, the most likely thing is that Xu Rui and the CCP will be roasted on the fire!"
Chairman Jiang hesitated a little, frowned and said, "But what if it is really unblocked?"
Chen Cheng and He Yingqin immediately stopped saying anything. They couldn't guarantee this.
Chairman Chiang hesitated for a long time, but still could not make a decision, so he said to Wang Shihe: "Shihe, please call Luojiawan No. 19 and ask Dai Li to come to the headquarters immediately..."
Before he finished speaking, an attendant came in and reported: "Commissioner, Director Dai would like to see you."
"Speak of Cao Cao. Cao Cao is here." Chairman Jiang waved his hand and said, "Let him come in and see me immediately."
The attendant took the order and turned around. A moment later, Dai Li, dressed in casual clothes, stooped and walked in.
"Yunong, you came just in time." Chairman Jiang waved for Dai Li to stand in front of him and said, "Do you know about Xu Rui's plan to clear the Baotou Tea Road?"
Dai Li hurriedly said: "I am about to report this matter to the committee."
"Oh, really?" Chairman Chiang said in surprise, "Then tell me."
Dai Li glanced at Chen Cheng, He Yingqin and Bai Chongxi standing on both sides, but hesitated to speak.
Chairman Chiang immediately said to Chen Cheng and the others: "Oh, Cixiu, Jingzhi, and Jiansheng. You have been tired for a day. Why don't you go back and rest first? I will go back to the official residence later."
Chairman Chiang issued an order to expel the guests, and Chen Cheng and the others hurriedly left.
After Chen Cheng and the other three walked away, Chairman Jiang said in a deep voice: "Yunong, is it true or false about Xu Rui dredging the Baotou Tea Road?"
"False." Dai Li said solemnly, "The nepotism said that this is just Xu Rui's expedient measure!"
Xu Rui's counterintuitive plan finally succeeded, at least for the time being, because Xiang Yingxin did follow Xu Rui's instructions and sent false news to Dai Li! In addition, Xiang Yingxin also applied to Dai Li, requesting that the Central News Agency dispatch an inspector.
As a war correspondent of the Chahar Independent Regiment, he is stationed in the Chahar Independent Regiment.
Xiang Yingxin also suggested that only by trying to get close to Xu Rui would there be a chance.
Dai Li deeply agreed with this, so he immediately agreed to her application.
At that moment, Dai Li said again: "In addition, I have another good news to report to the committee. The nepotism has initially gained Xu Rui's trust. Next, she will be stationed in Baotou as a war reporter. Xu Rui is lustful, so
If nothing unexpected happens, it won't be long before he becomes a nepotistic guest."
"Okay!" Chairman Chiang said happily, "You must instruct the crony. In order to ensure success, there is no need to rush into the assassination. It is not too late to wait until the time is completely mature before taking action!"
"Yes!" Dai Li said, "I will definitely convey the commission's instructions to you."
"Okay, you can go." Chairman Jiang waved his hand, then turned to Wang Shihe and said, "Shihe, you immediately issue an announcement in the name of the Attendant's Office to let reporters from newspapers, magazines and news agencies in Chongqing
, Oh, yes, there are also liaisons from various democratic parties who went to the External Propaganda Department for a meeting overnight."
Dai Li asked in a low voice: "Commissioner, are you trying to add fuel to Xu Rui's fire?"
"That's right." Chairman Jiang smiled and said, "Didn't Xu Rui promise that he could take care of the Soviets and reopen the Baotou Tea Road? I gave him a push and helped him make the impact. I also firmly believe that with the help of the people of the whole country,
With his support, he will definitely have more confidence when negotiating with the Soviets, and he will have greater confidence in clearing the tea road."
Dai Li kept saying yes, but he thought in his mind that the appointment was to put Xu Rui and the CCP on the fire, but he couldn't blame others for adding insult to injury. If Xu Rui hadn't been bragging, the appointment was just to add insult to injury.
No chance, right? However, Xu Rui will suffer this time, and the Chinese Communist Party will also be greatly embarrassed.
