Soon, the three of them left the Jiang Mansion again. After Xu Zengen and the other three got into the car, he didn't say a word and directly gave instructions to the driver.
"Go to the Presidential Palace, I want to meet with the commissioners."
"yes!"
Although Secretary Huang didn't know what happened, when he saw the expression on Xu Zeng'en's face, he knew that something was serious, otherwise he wouldn't have gone to the committee to ask for instructions overnight.
It’s just that no one knows that what happened this time is really not a big deal.
One night passed, and when Zhang Tianhao got up from bed the next day, it was already six o'clock in the morning. This was a natural wake-up call for his biological clock.
Last night, he stayed at the Presidential Palace until one o'clock, and then he and Xu Zeng'en went back. They also stayed directly at Xu Zeng'en's house that night, and they were considered close friends.
It is estimated that there are not many subordinates who can live in his house.
"Director, madam, morning!"
Seeing Xu Zengen and his wife who had already gotten up and were reading the newspaper below, Zhang Tianhao quickly saluted and greeted them.
"Tianhao, how do you feel?"
"Director, I feel so good now that I can eat a cow."
'You, you have a child, why are you still so naughty? Let's have breakfast together later!'
"yes!"
Zhang Tianhao responded, then sat across from him, picked up the newspaper and started reading.
"By the way, Tianhao, have you ever thought about changing to a different place?"
"Director, as long as you need it, you can do it anywhere, and everything will be subject to the director's arrangements." Naturally, Zhang Tianhao would not have any objections. Anyway, at this point, what could be more difficult for him than now.
"Well, if possible, I'll transfer you to Shanghai. What do you think? You may not be able to keep your position in Shanghai for only two or three months."
"Thank you, director. I will obey the director's arrangements in everything. If the director tells me to go east, I will never go west!"
"Hey, doesn't this mean I'm a clique?" Xu Zeng'en pointed directly at Zhang Tianhao and laughed.
"How is it possible? The director is my eldest brother's eldest brother, and he is a relative of mine. I am not polite to relatives!" Zhang Tianhao climbed up the pole directly.
Hearing this, Xu Zeng'en also twitched the corners of his mouth. It took him a long time before he laughed out loud.
"By the way, madam, you go and see if the food is ready. You have eaten early, and you have to go to the headquarters to do some work. Tianhao and I have a chat. However, you want the kitchen to cook more, Tianhao has a bigger appetite."
"Okay, I'll go over and take a look and urge them."
"Madam, coming here this time is already very disturbing. Why bother Madam again? When I came, I had nothing to bring. I just saw a diamond-encrusted bracelet on the black market last time. I asked Madam to accept it."
As he spoke, he took out a bracelet wrapped in yellow cloth from his pocket and handed it over.
"You still do this with me, you don't seem to have any money anymore, right?" Xu Zeng'en said seriously as soon as he heard this.
"Director, I am giving this to my wife. We are relatives, and my wife is also my sister-in-law. It is not illegal to give it to me. Sister-in-law, please keep it."
With that said, he handed over the gold bracelet studded with diamonds.
He snatched this from a Japanese bank without spending any money, just as a personal gift.
Xu Zeng'en was so choked by Zhang Tianhao that he didn't know what to say. He looked at the gold bracelet and was stunned. Just looking at the broken diamonds on it, there were at least a dozen. Without twenty or thirty thousand dollars, it was impossible to get it.
.
"Too expensive."
"Yes, Tianhao, it's too valuable, I can't accept it."
"Sister-in-law, please accept it. I'm a grown man. This is the only thing worth more than the others. The other items combined don't cost more than three oceans. Besides, in the future, my sister-in-law must give me a nice word in front of the director so that I can get more money."
Promotion!"
"Go away, you still want to be promoted again. If you are promoted again, you will be like me. Are you satisfied with being promoted to lieutenant general?" When Xu Zeng'en heard this, he immediately laughed and cursed.
"Of course. As long as I am promoted to lieutenant general, director, you will have to listen to me. Then I will sit at your house every day to eat and eat, and make you poor."
Zhang Tianhao also made a joke directly, even causing Mrs. Xu on the side to purse her lips and smile.
However, she was also a knowledgeable person. At least she would be promoted to major general if she was to be promoted. She couldn't help but look Zhang Tianhao up and down.
That's the colonel.
"Thank you Tianhao, I'm going to check on what's going on in the kitchen!" After saying that, she glared at Xu Zeng'en, and then left the hall with the gold and diamond bracelet.
"Tianhao, don't you have no money?"
"That was picked up."
"You can go ahead and lie to me. Forget it, I won't ask any questions."
Xu Zengen knew that he couldn't get anything out of this question, so he turned to look at Zhang Tianhao and said seriously: "What you said yesterday was that the Japanese would carry out massacres in Nanjing. How sure are you?"
"Fifty percent, or even 60%, I can't guarantee any more, because I really heard some Japanese junior officers discussing this matter in the club!"
"So that's the case. It seems that Nanjing is even more dangerous."
"There is no way. This is true. From Chiang Kai-shek's "On National Defense," we have clearly felt that Nanjing and Shanghai cannot be defended. The best way is to trade time for time and bring down the Japanese. Otherwise,
, China’s work simply cannot support this war. But it’s not like we won’t fight this war.”
"You are knowledgeable. It seems that you did not read in vain. You have learned to this point on your own, and you have put your heart into it."
Xu Zengen looked at Zhang Tianhao, who knew how to behave and do things, and the more he looked at him, the more he liked him.
…
While Zhang Tianhao was having breakfast here, a group of people in the Presidential Palace were discussing the possibility that the Japanese might attack the Hangzhou Bay area.
But the more they discussed, the more shocked everyone was. After all, if Hangzhou Bay was captured by the Japanese, the entire Shanghai would be isolated and might even become an island.
"Commissioner, there is a 90% chance that the Japanese will break through from here. I suggest that the troops in this area be transferred directly to these places to strengthen defense and prevent Japanese surprise attacks."
"But our current war in Shanghai is tense. If we don't mobilize our troops, our troops will not be able to keep up. Once Shanghai is lost, the consequences will be more serious. It will be equivalent to the Japanese opening up the barrier to Nanjing."
"We must deploy troops to plug this gap. Even if we start another war equivalent to that of Shanghai, we cannot allow the Japanese to go ashore from the southern line. Otherwise, Shanghai's nearly one million troops will be in chaos. It may even lead to a rout, with consequences
It is also more serious, and it is related to the safety of Nanjing."
For a while, everyone couldn't argue. Although they agreed with this point of view, the problem was the lack of troops.
But the committee member sitting above also had a wry smile on his face. This situation was still quite difficult for him. Most of the country's troops were engaged in the war, and it was quite difficult to mobilize troops.
…
"Tianhao, the person who poisoned you last night has been found. I didn't expect that there are quite a few criminals within us who have defected to the Japanese. And I have also read your document. This time, I will ask you to review it.
, it’s just a formality. After a while, I will arrange for someone to take you to the train station, and you can go back. And there, I have arranged a substitute for you, so no one will notice it for at least three or two days."
"Xinjing still needs you to take charge, and we can't do without you. However, when things calm down, you may have to be transferred. You will be assigned to work in a more difficult place. Don't blame me."
"Everything follows the director's arrangements."
"That's good."
