He Yingqin sat in the car worriedly, thinking about what he should say about this when he saw Lin Sen. Lin Sen's qualifications were so strong that even Jiang Zhongzheng had to back away from him.

Although many times his suggestions can be deliberately ignored by Jiang Zhongzheng, the hard-cap situation only occurs when Lin Sen's proposal seriously violates Jiang Zhongzheng's interests. Otherwise, most of the time Jiang Zhongzheng will choose appropriate concessions.

There was no way, the old man's prestige was too high. It was precisely because of this that Chiang Kai-shek had no choice but to let him take the position of chairman of the government. And Chiang Kai-shek's own title was "Chairman".

"Tap...tap..." A sound from outside the car interrupted He Yingqin's reverie. It was a burst of neat footsteps. He Yingqin, who was familiar with the military, could tell that this was definitely an elite troop marching.

Suddenly, He Yingqin's face changed wildly, and he raised his head and looked out of the car. He saw several groups of soldiers outside the car solemnly walking past the car with neat steps.

"Stop!" He Yingqin roared, and the driver quickly stopped the car. He Yingqin jumped out of the car and stopped the soldiers and shouted: "Where are you from? Who is the commander?! Who allowed you to be in Chongqing?"

Marching in the city?! Find your commander immediately!"

He Yingqin couldn't help but feel nervous. The whole of Chongqing was now a huge powder keg. Any spark would probably lead to a complete explosion!

Just when He Yingqin was angry, a middle-aged man with a square face wearing a lieutenant colonel's military uniform slowly walked over and gave He Yingqin a military salute and said in a deep voice.

"Chief of Staff, we are acting under Chairman Lin's orders. Please also ask Chief of Staff not to hinder us from performing our official duties."

This man's words made He Yingqin dizzy with anger! Who is He Yingqin?! He is the current Chief of Staff of the Military Commission, responsible for wartime military system, planning and command.

But he didn't even know about such a big thing as the military mobilization! But then he was shocked, who was this lieutenant colonel talking about?! Chairman Lin?! In this city of Chongqing, Chairman Lin can only refer to one person...

…

"What?! Chairman Lin's order?! I want to see Chairman Lin's warrant!" He Yingqin suddenly felt something bad. Everyone in the entire government knew who Lin Sen was.

This nominal chairman is actually sitting on a "vacant seat." Hu Shi once lamented that "Mr. Lin Zichao has made the chairman of the government a 'vacant seat', so empty that some people actually have 'no chairman.'"

Got it." This is not a lie but the truth.

When he was in Nanjing, Lin Sen's house was too dilapidated and needed to be renovated. He was negligent and did not obtain a building construction license before construction.

According to the regulations of the national government at that time, anyone who builds a house must obtain a license from the local government department before construction can be carried out. Therefore, the staff of the Nanjing Public Affairs Bureau issued a notice to him, directly writing "Lin Sen" on it, telling him that construction was not allowed.

At that time, the official of the Civil Service Department of the National Government who received the letter believed that the civil servant's letter addressed Mr. Lin Sen by his first name, which was disrespectful to the chairman. He immediately inquired about the facts and reported the situation to the superiors of the Civil Service Bureau.

The head of the Public Service Bureau also felt that it was inappropriate for his subordinates to address the top executive by his first name in the letter, and that he was responsible for the matter, so he went to Lin Sen's house to apologize to the chairman.

Lin Sen personally greeted the supervisor and not only served him tea, but also took the initiative to explain the situation of his renovation of the building. He apologized for not applying for the license in time and violating the rules and regulations, and stated that he would go to complete the procedures immediately.

Regarding the civil servants calling themselves by their first names on the envelopes, Lin Sen said: "Yu Ben is one of the citizens of Nanjing and should be treated equally with ordinary citizens." Considering that "Lin Sen" is the president of the country, he suggested that the leader

, in the future, you may wish to rewrite your notices as "Lin Zichao". This way, others will not make a fuss.

For this reason alone, everyone admired Lin Sen greatly. But at the same time, the government also continued to look down on Lin Sen's position.

Apart from issues of principle, Lin Sen rarely directly clashed with Chiang Kai-shek. When writing to Chiang, he would always start by humbly writing, "Brother Jieshi"; when the two met, he would also address Chiang Kai-shek as "President".

Or "Generalissimo Chiang Kai-shek" etc.

Even when Chiang Kai-shek's half-brother Chiang Kai-ching passed away at the end of 1936, when the funeral was held the next year, Lin Sen personally rushed to Fenghua to pay his respects, and in his distinguished capacity as Chairman of the National Government, served as the chief priest at the funeral. This was unprecedented.

And it is precisely because of this that people within the government, especially those around Chiang Zhongzheng, regard Lin Sen as a humanoid seal without any threat.

It's a pity that they forgot that Lin Sen is more than just a humanoid stamp!

This old gentleman once saw Yuan Shikai's inauguration speech containing remarks that were accommodating to foreigners and harmful to the national system, so he went to Yuan Shikai overnight and asked for corrections.

Is this old man who once stopped Yuan Shikai in public and forced him to remove his sword at Yuan Shikai's inauguration ceremony because he was wearing a sword? How could he be a weak person?

"You...this...Chairman Lin does not have any right to directly command the army. You should withdraw immediately! I will personally communicate with Chairman Lin about this matter!"

He Yingqin's face changed several times, but he still said firmly to the lieutenant colonel. But the lieutenant colonel didn't seem to buy it at all, and curled his lips and said to He Yingqin.

"Chief of Staff, you can discuss this matter with Chairman Lin. But until we receive the order, we can only execute Chairman Lin's order. Moreover, we are a security force under Chairman Lin. When we just withdrew to Chongqing,

The chairman of the committee handed over the command of the security company to Chairman Lin at that time. In other words, we will not accept any orders except those from the chairman and Chairman Lin."

After speaking, the lieutenant colonel gave a military salute to He Yingqin. Then he issued an order to the troops: "Everyone! Move together!"

The whole team continued to move with a "squeak, squeak, squeak...", and He Yingqin did not stop him. He could see from the lieutenant colonel's eyes that he could not stop him. The lieutenant colonel did not even see him as He Yingqin.

.

It was only then that He Yingqin realized that Lin Sen, who seemed to be "empty", actually had his own power! Even in the army! Thinking of this, He Yingqin broke out in cold sweat.

How much strength does Lin Sen hide?! What on earth does Lin Sen want to do?! If he deals with himself and others...

"Chief of Staff, we have been ordered to escort you to Chairman Lin. Please get in the car." At this time, several people emerged from nowhere and restrained He Yingqin's driver and guard.

He Yingqin's guard still wanted to resist, but He Yingqin immediately stopped his guard from moving blindly with his eyes. He could see that the lieutenant colonel not far away was staring at him and others.

If he acted rashly, perhaps he would explain it here. The soldiers who had restrained his driver and guard were holding Thompson submachine guns tightly in their hands and told He Yingqin that they would not be lenient if they took action.

"Okay! I will follow you to find Chairman Lin. I want to ask him why he commanded the troops to mobilize without the approval of the committee!" He Yingqin calmed himself down and tried to get in the car before talking.

But he got into the car. The soldiers actually got into the car too. He Yingqin sat on the left and right in the back seat, and the one in the front sat next to the driver. The muzzle of the gun pointed intentionally or unintentionally.

He Yingqin and the driver stayed there.

He Yingqin saw this situation and knew that he had no way to report the matter to Mr. Jiang and the others. He turned pale for a moment, but he could only grit his teeth and said to the driver: "Drive! Go to Lin Mansion!"

Chongqing was in chaos, but Tu Qianjun from Beijing was quietly enjoying tea with his teacher.

In Tu Qianjun's office, the clay pot on the charcoal stove made a sound of "gulu~gulu~". Tu Qianjun raised his hand to pick it up and filled the tea cup with smoking boiling water.

Then he smoothly poured a cup of tea for his teacher. Suddenly the whole office was filled with the aroma of tea. Yan Zhengqing smiled lightly as he watched his disciple pour tea for him, twirling his beard and saying nothing.

"Teacher, please give me tea." After placing a cup of tea in front of Yan Zhengqing, Tu Qianjun said respectfully to the old man. Mr. Zhichang nodded. This was what he was most satisfied with about his disciple.

Know etiquette and be cautious.

"Junzi, things in Chongqing will come to an end soon. You have to hurry up and clean up those who need to be cleaned up. You need to be careful about whether those people in the government and the Central Military Commission stay or go."

"Teacher, I understand." Tu Qianjun said respectfully to his teacher. The matter in Chongqing was the result of Yan Zhengqing's overnight discussion with Tu Qianjun.

If Tu Qianjun's personality is to be followed, the most he can do is let Chongqing fend for itself. In his opinion, the Chongqing government is already terminally ill. The Song family, Chen family, etc. are still taking action at this time.

Continuously making money and then transferring assets to the United States. How could Tu Qianjun not know this information at all?! The country and the nation are facing life and death, but they are taking care of their own interests.

It was Tu Qianjun's good temper that didn't arrest them all, let alone allow these people to join the National Defense Force. Another reason is that the National Defense Force has just merged with the Yunnan Yunnan Army, Sichuan Sichuan Army, etc. Although its strength has expanded,

It still takes time to train.

I don't have many officers on hand to be stationed in the Central Army, and the Central Army now has a lot of people, and the situation is more complicated. If such a unit wants to be reorganized, many times it can only be done by letting their original people take their original positions.

And it is unknown how many traitors who may betray will be accommodated as a result. If those worms in the national government are allowed to hold positions here in the three northeastern provinces, they will be able to devour the entire three northeastern provinces in less than a month.

Tu Qianjun saw Chongqing as a burden, so it was naturally impossible for him to take over. He could just give them some guns and let them fend for themselves.

But Yan Zhengqing doesn't see it that way. In Yan Zhengqing's opinion, even scum has its uses. What's more, the combat effectiveness of the Central Army is only stronger than that of the local warlords.

After reorganization and gathering, it was still usable after some elimination. After sorting out the situation in Chongqing sent by Wang Yajiao, the old man worked out a plan overnight and handed the plan to Tu Qianjun.

That night, after Tu Qianjun discussed with Yan Zhengqing and Wang Yajiao, Yan Zhengqing personally wrote a letter asking people from all over to go to Chongqing to find Lin Sen. This led to Lin Sen's current actions.

Yan Zhengqing's plan is very simple. Since the Central Army's troops are too large and complex, let it "slim down". Chiang Zhongzheng is dead, and several battles have been defeated. The government and the Central Army have lost city and territory, and the betrayal of revolutionary veteran Wang Zhaoming has become

Traitor.

Then, the soldiers and politicians in the national government and the central military who are inextricably related to Wang Zhaoming will naturally make some moves. At this time, they only need to add a little more fire to explode.

What Yan Zhengqing wanted was for them to break out. The National Defense Forces needed to know how many people wanted to be traitors and how many people really wanted to resist Japan.

According to estimates from Wang Yajiao's intelligence, these people include at least ten Central Committee members and more than twenty general-level officers. The number of troops among them is close to 300,000!

This is still within the Central Army. The number of national guerrillas in the areas controlled by the Japanese army is probably even higher.

According to intelligence provided by Wang Yajiao, more than 50,000 soldiers chose to leave the Central Army and follow Lu Han's 60th Army to withdraw to Chengdu after withdrawing from Wuhan.

As for the Central Army itself, more than 100,000 soldiers have fled and deserted. This is better said to be a retreat than a collapse. The entire Central Army is now low in morale and disorganized. The remaining strength is only about 800,000.

If more than 200,000 people were taken away, then only about 600,000 people would be left. Due to the chaos caused by indirect effects, this number may be reduced to 500,000 or even 400,000 people.

At that time, the Central Army and Chongqing will no longer have the conditions to negotiate with the National Defense Forces. The Japanese army nearby has nearly 300,000 people, and with the troops who have defected to the past, Chongqing must know that they cannot defend it.

The only thing they can do is to invest in the National Defense Force. At that time, they can only see how the National Defense Force arranges it. They have no room for maneuver. At the same time, the reduction of troops has also reduced the workload of the National Defense Force.

Those who remain will definitely insist on resisting Japan. These people only need to be strengthened with training, equipped with appropriate military discipline, officers and weapons and supplies, and then they will become a powerful fighting force in an instant.

Rectification! When Tu Qianjun got the plan from Yan Zhengqing, this word flashed in his mind. But obviously, the methods used by Yan Zhengqing were gentler than the rectification, but the effect was more intense than the rectification.

From top to bottom, the National Defense Forces have never been soft on traitors. Those who defect to the Japanese side have basically become the mortal enemies of the National Defense Forces. Their final path can only lead to death.

"Teacher, I know what should be done." Tu Qianjun bowed slightly to Yan Zhengqing and said softly: "Don't worry. I will take care of this matter."

"Well... Lin Sen, you can make him the host of the new government." Yan Zhengqing squinted his eyes and whispered to Tu Qianjun: "With him here, we are justified!"

ps: After dinner, I continued typing. I promised the brothers in the group two chapters today! I will never break my promise! In addition, I was very happy and touched that the book friend named him "Mr. Zhichang". The characters in my book can be appreciated by everyone.
Chapter completed!
