Chapter 329: The President's Anger (Part II)
So, the counselors all shut their mouths, packed up the documents and items they were carrying, and left Yunxiu Tower with Lieutenant General Lin in their arms. President Jiang was very authoritative at this time, taking advantage of the anti-Japanese trend to gather the party, government and military power in one of them, especially after the departure of the old enemy Wang Zhaoming, there was no rival in the national government, and after decades of struggle, he finally achieved his earlier dream and became the leader of the country.
Although the counselors claim to be think tank advisers, in the eyes of this person, they are also a senior secretary-like title, and it is not easy for the literati staff to eat in these years, and they have to be people with their tails between their legs. The group left the mansion with large bags and small bags, but before they stepped out of the floor in front of the door, they couldn't bear the eagerness and began to talk about it. At this time, President Jiang happened to be standing in front of the bedroom window in the corner of the second floor and looking out of the window, originally intending to dispel the depression, but after witnessing this scene, Jiang Zhongzheng's mood became even more depressed.
"Lin Weiwen's tone is so lax, ignoring my trust in him." The chairman slapped the windowsill in annoyance.
"But apart from Lin Weiwen, there are still a few people who can be trusted, but it's a pity that there is a huge national government, and no one is available, so I can't help it." President Jiang shook his head helplessly and walked to the dressing mirror in the corner of the bedroom.
Looking at his gradually emaciated face in the mirror, Jiang Zhongzheng let out a long sigh, the recent war faux pas had made him sleepless and worried for several weeks. President Jiang straightened his military appearance in the mirror, straightened the hem of his military uniform, and then walked to the coat rack behind the door and took off his military hat.
"Shihe." Descending to the turn of the stairs, Jiang Zhongzheng called out loudly.
"The chief of the king's guard went out in the afternoon, and he hasn't come back yet." At this time, the guard on duty in the guard room heard the sound and ran out, standing in the hall and respectfully replied.
"Oh, but I forgot, I sent him on an errand." Jiang Zhongzheng nodded slightly and strolled down the stairs.
"The president is going out." Seeing that the chairman of the committee was neatly dressed, the guard took two steps and asked.
"Prepare the car. Back to the Song Hall. The answer was short and unquestionable. The guards hurriedly ran back to the guard room, gathered several colleagues on duty, and the president's schedule changed today, and he had to prepare vehicles and guards immediately.
Although Yunxiu Tower is the official residence of the chairman of the CPPCC National Committee, it is more like an office and command center, where Jiang Zhong holds meetings with military and political subordinates all year round, issues various orders, and watches the entry and exit of government and military officials at all levels every day, which is really not a suitable environment for living. Therefore, the Jiang family and his wife live in another quiet villa on the mountain on weekdays, and Jiang Zhongzheng personally named it Song Hall. And he also wrote a plaque by hand and placed it in the middle of the eaves.
The car was quickly prepared, in fact, if you walked from here from the mountain path, you could also reach the pine hall, but the mountain road was steep and difficult to walk, and the road was really far, so Jiang Zhongzheng kept taking the car home. The car stopped on the road below the pine hall, climbed the narrow and steep steps, and returned to his real home, embraced by the guards.
The guards returned to their own dwellings. President Jiang had a worried look on his face and pushed open the door of the pine hall. At this time, the sky had darkened, and the house was brightly lit, and Jiang Zhongzheng found it when he walked into the door. His wife was elegantly sitting on the sofa in the living room reading a book, and several servants were standing respectfully against the wall.
"Darling, why did you come back so early today?" Seeing Jiang Zhongzheng entering the door, Mrs. Jiang hurriedly stood up. The maid on the side ran over in small steps and took the military hat and gloves from Jiang Zhongzheng's hand.
"Do you want to call the kitchen to eat, it's rare for you to come back so early. We haven't eaten together for more than half a month. Song Meiling asked with a smile.
"You all go out, I have something important to discuss with my wife." The chairman waved his hand, ordered the servant to stay away, and then walked to the sofa, and waited until the frightened servant closed the door to the living room, and then sat down.
"Darling, what the hell is going on?" After approaching Jiang Zhongzheng and sitting down, Song Meiling asked nervously, although there has been bad news during this time, she has never seen her husband so worried.
"What is going on with Zhou Zhirou's great victory, according to him, he obeyed your orders." Jiang Zhongzheng asked with a serious face.
"So that's what you said, I thought something big was happening again." Madame Jiang reached out and trimmed the cheongsam on her knees.
"Sure enough, you instructed it, and you didn't think about what the international community would think of us once the matter was revealed." Jiang Zhongzheng's voice was raised, and he looked at his wife with a frown.
"As long as the Germans don't tell, who will know the truth." Madame Jiang also raised her face and glared at Jiang Zhongzheng and said.
"Don't you know what your Air Force has been scolded for during this time? Now that public opinion in society is looking forward to a big victory for the national government, there is finally an exciting opportunity, why let it go in vain. You think I haven't considered the risks, who do you think I'm doing this for, it's not all for you, so that you can play the hero outside, and block the stinky mouths of those pickled literati for you. I didn't expect you to not only understand my hard work, but also come back and yell at me, which is simply unreasonable. Mrs. Jiang said that she was excited, and slapped the armrests of the sofa hard.
"You are so confused, how can the Germans give up if you do such a thing. Now is the time to ask them, and such a thing will certainly affect the harmonious relations between the two countries. How do you explain these things to the Germans when I meet them? Jiang Zhongzheng stood up abruptly, pacing back and forth on the carpet in front of the sofa with his hands behind his back.
"You are confused, Jiang Zhongzheng, you think about it carefully. You have forgotten how the Germans abandoned you three years ago, and when we treated them badly, ignoring the fact that the war was at a critical moment, and withdrawing all the advisory groups without hesitation. Now that they're coming back to the door, you think it's really for some kind of friendship that didn't work out in previous years. Song Meiling leaned on the back of the sofa and looked at the president who was grinding in place with a calm face.
"What do you mean by that?" Jiang Zhongzheng stopped when he heard this.
"I think there must be something inside about the sudden visit of the Germans this time. You don't want to think about why Germany would suddenly come to Asia and show you goodwill when they are now fighting all over Europe. We are all well aware of the current situation in the national government, and it is obviously unreasonable for the Germans to ignore the Japanese, who have always been at peace with them, and to come to talk to us about trade and cooperation. They must want to take advantage of the fire to rob and get more benefits from us, haven't you seen enough of the faces of these powers over the years, they have always regarded China as a big piece of fat. Madame Chiang was full of words.
"You're so bigoted, it's not like the way you think about things, did someone tell you something?" Jiang Zhongzheng frowned.
"You don't care who says it, I think it makes sense. So I ordered Zhou Zhirou to do this this time, in fact, I want to take advantage of this opportunity to test the Germans and see if they really have the sincerity to cooperate with us. If the Germans really really want to be friendly with our country, they will certainly put this matter down, and even order these officers and men in China to cooperate with us. If Germany does react in this way, it will prove that the interests they have in us must be great, and then the initiative will be in our hands, and it will be their turn to courtry us, which is not a hundred times better than the present time when they are sincerely afraid and groveling. Madame Jiang found that Jiang Zhongzheng's expression had softened a little, and she had obviously been moved by her words.
"However, this is only an assumption, and if the Germans do not do what you think, not only do not suppress the matter, but even make a big move to cause a rupture in relations between the two countries, it will not be a big mistake." Jiang Zhongzheng asked with a frown.
That means that they are not sincere in forming a relationship with me, but only a temporary trend of interests, this kind of cooperation will not last long, and when they find that it is unprofitable, they will still abandon me, so that we can also prepare in advance, grasp the proportions of cooperation, and avoid being controlled by others. But I don't think it will come to this point, it's just some air combat achievements, as long as they are willing to reconcile, then we will not hesitate to reciprocate and give them more money as compensation, and then you will personally come forward to appease them, and that is it. Song Meiling stood up, walked behind Jiang Zhongzheng's back and said on the other party's shoulder.
"If that's the case, then it's right, after all, they shot down so many Japanese planes and saved the lives of many of our soldiers. Alas, the reason I can't mean you, but the person who detained them is ours after all, you better let Ling Wei let the people go, remember to give the pilot a little more compensation, and apologize sincerely, the Germans are also a good-looking nation. Jiang Zhongzheng patted his wife's hand on his shoulder.
"Release? Who? Ling Wei didn't say who she detained? Hearing Jiang Zhongzheng's words, Mrs. Jiang replied in surprise.
Ask for a monthly pass, ask for a recommendation ticket, is it really impossible to enter a hundred this month? What's the matter with staying at 104 all the time?
