Although Mrs. Chiang's gentle tone made Chairman Chiang a little less angry, he still felt hard to let go. .
He sighed with some indignation: "Madam, the country is in a difficult situation now, and more than half of the country has been lost, but some people in the party are still intoxicated, and some people in the country are eager to see my jokes. To be honest, I am worthy of being president. It¡¯s really frustrating!¡±
Chairman Chiang¡¯s words were indeed inspired. In the eyes of ordinary people, the president is equivalent to the emperor in ancient times. Who dares not to obey an order? But as the saying goes, one's own family knows one's own affairs, but Mrs. Jiang knew very well that her husband's life was quite difficult. There were powerful enemies on the outside and thieves snooping on the inside. Once he relaxed even a little, the consequences would be disastrous.
Mrs. Jiang stood up and walked behind her husband. She stretched out her hands and gently rubbed her husband's temples. After rubbing, she persuaded: "Darling, don't mind too much about some things. Things in China are like this. Ten thousand people have ten thousand hearts. You can't expect everyone to believe in you, right? Anyway, you are still the president of the National Government, and you still have the support of a group of Huangpu students. With these two things, you can We are now on an invincible footing."
After hearing his wife's consolation and feeling the comfortable feeling on his temples, Chairman Jiang breathed a long sigh of relief and patted Mrs. Jiang's hand gently and said: "My wife understands me! Everyone in the world says that I will Someone who has a good wife like his wife is worth a division, but in my opinion, a division is nothing, my wife is at least worth a soldier!"
Hearing her husband¡¯s compliment, Mrs. Jiang chuckled and said coquettishly: ¡°Am I only worth an army? So we have hundreds of armies in China, don¡¯t you have hundreds of wives?¡±
"Eh Madam, you can't say that. It's just a metaphor!" Although Madam Jiang's voice was so gentle, Chairman Jiang was still startled. If he didn't answer well, the grape rack at home would be ruined. But it needs to be poured.
The two chatted and laughed for a while, then Chairman Jiang sighed softly and said: "Madam, to be honest, I really envy Su Zhongxin." I was puzzled, how could he be so successful in such a short period of time? How has it developed so fast in just a few years? Look at him. He needs people, guns, and cannons. Even airplanes fly out as if they are free. Sometimes I really wonder if this guy has any money. How can you get so many good things with your ability to scatter beans into soldiers?"
When it came to business, Mrs. Jiang took her little hand away from her husband's head. A look of thought appeared on her beautiful face, and finally she said: "Darling, regarding Su Zhongxin's advanced weapons and even aircraft The source of the problem has always been a mystery. Although we have always wanted to send someone to his interior, there has been no improvement. He is too careful about himself. In fact, this is not only for us, but also for the Japanese and Americans. There is no good solution.¡±
Speaking of this, Chairman Chiang snorted coldly and said: "This guy is actually afraid of death. I heard that he has placed a regiment of troops near his home to protect his safety. Every time he goes out, he has to escort the troops. It will not be less than one battalion. If he leaves Guangzhou, he will never be escorted by less than one regiment. A majestic theater commander is so afraid of death. I am embarrassed for him even if he says it!"
Mrs. Jiang covered her mouth and smiled, "Darling, don't be the boss and talk about the second boss. When have you ever gone out without being heavily guarded? You still have the nerve to criticize others!"
"Huh, I am the leader of a country. Can Su Zhongxin compare with me?" Chairman Chiang Kai-shek's determination to fight is related to the majesty of the leader of a country. He will not admit it at all.
"Haha Okay, let's not talk about this anymore." Mrs. Jiang, who knew her husband very well, gently dropped the topic, "Darling, let's be serious, this time the Fourth War Zone has recovered all of Fujian. Not only domestic newspapers, but also European media also praised this, saying that Su Zhongxin was the Napoleon of the East. What do you think of this?"
Hearing his wife praising an outsider, Chairman Jiang felt very uncomfortable. He snorted and said disdainfully, "Huh, Napoleon is just a boy who got lucky." After thinking about it, he felt that As a leader of a country, it was too arrogant to say such a thing, so he went on to say: "But then again, Su Zhongxin is still somewhat capable of regaining Jiangxi and Fujian provinces one after another. , but his arrogance also brought disaster to himself."
Hearing what her husband said, Mrs. Jiang was a little confused and asked in surprise: "Oh, isn't it great that Su Zhongxin can regain the lost ground? How can you say that he has brought disaster to himself?"
"Humph, there is an old saying in China that a tree that is as beautiful as a tree will be destroyed by the wind. Su Zhongxin has been in too much limelight these days, and now even the Japanese regard him as their number one enemy!" At this point! , Chiang Kai-shekThe commander couldn't help but reveal a hint of joy on his face, "It turned out that the main target of the Japanese was our Central Army and our Nationalist Government, but now that Su Zhongxin is making such a fuss along the coast, the Japanese can't sit still anymore, and they are beginning to turn their attention to Aimed at him. The front lines came to report one after another in the past two days. The Japanese who originally took the offensive against them have now retreated and transferred a considerable part of their troops to the southeast. What does this mean? This is very It clearly shows that the Japanese now regard Su Zhongxin as their main opponent, and this is called bringing the blame upon themselves."
Speaking of this, Chairman Chiang felt both happy and a little sad. I am happy that the [***] represented by the Central Army can finally breathe a sigh of relief. What is sour is that I have millions of [***] under my command, but the Japanese actually say that they will ignore me and ignore me, and they are so arrogant. They turned around and turned against Su Rui. This showed too little regard for the National Government, which represents the orthodoxy of China.
Mrs. Jiang didn't know Chairman Jiang's little thoughts, and she couldn't help but show joy on her face, "Darling, this is a good thing anyway. Since the Japanese now regard Suri's fourth theater as the main target, they will inevitably It will slow down the attack on us, and we can take the opportunity to reorganize the army. Why are you sighing when we reorganize dozens of elite infantry divisions before we fight Japan decisively? "
Chairman Chiang looked worried, "What I'm worried about is not the present but the future. Su Zhongxin is now full-fledged. He already has hundreds of thousands of troops, plus Li Delin and Bai Jiansheng. Let us help each other. Once the Japanese are driven out of China in the future, will they with such strong strength honestly listen to the central government? In this way, they will inevitably become our new opponents. I am afraid that when we defeat the Japanese, That¡¯s when the Chinese Civil War begins again!¡±
Mrs. Jiang, however, chuckled and said, "Darling, you worry too much. Who can say for sure what will happen in the future? Isn't it said since ancient times, the one who wins the hearts of the people will win the world. When the Japanese are driven away in the future, it won't matter." What does it matter who sits in this seat? This world belongs to us Chinese people after all, and even if they sit in this seat, what will happen? Then you can accompany me around the great rivers and mountains of the motherland. Well! Are you worried that Li Delin and Su Zhongxin won¡¯t let you go when the time comes? "
Although Chairman Jiang was full of worries, he was amused by his wife and smiled, and he couldn't help but feel a surge of pride in his heart: "Huh, although Su Zhongxin is developing very fast, I will not let someone It¡¯s for free, so it¡¯s not that easy for them to touch me. And although Li and Bai have been fighting with me for most of their lives, I still know their character well, and they can¡¯t do such a despicable thing. Even if I, Jiang, declare to step down, who would dare to touch me, except those lawless people" At this point, Chairman Chiang's voice became a little lower, and he sighed softly and stopped talking.
Seeing that her husband was in a depressed mood again, Mrs. Jiang quickly changed the subject: "Darling, don't be too discouraged. It's not that far yet. Although Su Zhongxin is indeed powerful now, the Japanese are now But it¡¯s all because of him. It¡¯s unclear whether we can survive this or not. As long as we work hard, we can still achieve a lot!¡±
"Well, Madam is right. We really can't lose heart. [***] still has a lot to accomplish!" After Madam's persuasion, Chairman Jiang's mood suddenly became much higher. He stood up and walked back and forth for a few steps. He raised his head and said, "Madam, since the Japanese have now targeted Su Zhongxin and the others, we can't be idle. I want you to go to the United States to visit President Roosevelt. What do you think?"
"Do you want me to make a request to President Roosevelt for more aid to China?"
" Mrs. Chiang, who was able to become the first lady of the Republic of China and manage the leaders of a country obediently, her shrewdness is self-evident. As soon as Chairman Chiang's words came out, she immediately understood what her husband meant.
"Madam, you are as smart as ever!" Chairman Chiang flattered her without any trace at first, then sighed softly and said: "Madam, you know me. The national situation is difficult and our country's foundation is weak. Although Guangzhou has been recovered now , the channel to aid China has been opened, but now the finance is almost in bankruptcy. It is difficult to support an army of millions. It stands to reason that there is no spare money to buy weapons and equipment. But if we want to defeat the Japanese, we have to reorganize The army, right? We need to purchase weapons, right? These all require money, so I have to trouble you, madam, about this!"
Mrs. Jiang pondered for a long time before slowly nodding: "Okay, I'll try, but I don't know if I can succeed. After all, isolationism is prevalent in the United States, so it may not work if I go!"
Chairman Chiang sighed softly: "Alas let's just do our best and obey fate!"
