Chongqing Huangshan, Yunxiu Tower.

Zhang Zhizhong, the new director of the attendant's office, walked slowly into the study and reported to Principal Chang who was splashing ink: "Principal, Minister Wang and Director Dai have arrived."

"I understand." Principal Chang nodded, put the brush on the pen holder, first appreciated his words, and then turned to Zhang Zhizhong and said, "Let them come in."

Zhang Zhizhong responded and turned around and went out.

After a moment, Zhang Zhizhong brought Foreign Minister Wang Chonghui and Dai Li in with respect, and then bowed slightly to Principal Chang at the same time, and then called Principal.

Principal Chang first asked Wang Chonghui: "Liangchou, how did the Soviet Union respond?"

Wang Chonghui had just returned from the Soviet Union. His trip to the Soviet Union took his mission. What mission? Of course, it was to ask the Soviet Union to continue its mission to aid China.

But the results were not satisfactory.

Wang Chonghui said respectfully: "To summarize it, it's just two words, let's talk about it."

"Besides?" Principal Chang sneered and said, "This is just perfunctory."

After a pause, President Chang asked Dai Li again: "Is there any situation in the Military Affairs Bureau?"

"There is no exact information. The little Japanese has always done a good job in secrecy." Dai Li smiled bitterly and said, "But I still heard some of the wind."

Principal Chang frowned and said, "What's the noise?"

Dai Li said: "It is said that the Japanese government is seeking to sign a neutral treaty with the Soviet Union."

Hearing this, Principal Chang's face immediately sank, and the temperature in the study suddenly dropped by several degrees. Zhang Zhizhong and the others were so scared that they didn't even dare to breathe.

After a while, Principal Chang breathed a sigh of relief, turned his head and asked Zhang Zhizhong, "Wenbai, what do you think?"

When Zhang Zhizhong heard this, his expression suddenly became quiet. Principal Chang was taking the exam, and whether he did well this time was directly related to how long he could be in the position of director of the attendant room.

The so-called director of the attendant room is to put it bluntly the chief aide of President Chang.

After roughly sorting out the thoughts in his mind, Zhang Zhizhong said: "Principal, there is no groundlessness. Based on the news from Japan and the Soviet Union's reaction to the civil government of our country, Hu Zhi believes that Japan and the Soviet Union are secretly conspiring to sign a neutral treaty, which is still very credible."

Principal Chang sighed lightly and said sadly: "If this is the case, it will be a big trouble."

"Yes." Wang Chonghui agreed with it, "Once Japan and the Soviet Union really sign a neutral treaty in secret, the Japanese government will be able to free up its hands and concentrate on dealing with us. This means that the Japanese government no longer needs to divide a considerable portion of the limited war funds for the Kanto Army to defend against the Soviet attack!"

As long as everyone knows, the Kwantung Army stationed in the three eastern provinces was used to defend against Soviet attacks.

The military expenditure of the Kwantung Army was even greater than that of the Japanese invading China, because most of the most expensive chariot troops in the army were equipped with the Kwantung Army, and the Japanese invading China had only a small number of chariot troops.

Although even if Japan and the Soviet Union really sign a neutral treaty, it is impossible to achieve true mutual trust. Therefore, the Japanese government will never transfer the main force of the Kwantung Army into the pass, and if it is to be killed, one or two divisions will be transferred, and even the chariot troops will not be transferred, but military expenditure and military supplies will definitely be fully tilted towards the Japanese invaders.

In this way, the pressure on the national army will increase dramatically and the situation will become more difficult.

If it is done well, the Japanese government may launch a large-scale battle like the Wuhan Battle again.

Can the National Government's current weak national strength still withstand the Japanese army's new full-scale attack? President Chang was undoubtedly very suspicious of this.

Zhang Zhizhong saw President Chang's concerns and immediately said, "There is no need to worry too much. Even if Japan and the Soviet Union secretly signed a neutral treaty, the Japanese government would never dare to launch a full-scale attack again."

"Is that true?" President Chang turned his head and asked, "Wen Bai is so sure?"

"Because the current situation is very different from the 26th year of the Republic of China." Zhang Zhizhong said, "The front line in the 26th year of the Republic of China was in the North China Plain and in Shanghai on the coast of East China. The Japanese army's front line was short and the logistics supply line was short, but now the Japanese army's front line has been greatly extended and the logistics supply line is longer."

After a pause, Zhang Zhizhong continued: "Once the Japanese army launches a full-scale attack again, it will inevitably put its main forces into the battlefields of Hunan, Hubei, and even Shaanxi and Sichuan. This will inevitably lead to the emptiness of North China and East China. If this is the case, the Eighth Route Army will dare to cut off the supply line of the Japanese army, and Zhong Yi from Yinjiang will even turn the entire East China upside down!"

"Yes, yes." Dai Li quickly echoed, "With Zhong Yi's character, if the Japanese army really put the heavy army group into Hubei, Hunan or Shaanxi battlefields, he would never be idle. He would definitely stir up storms in the East China battlefield, and it would be possible to recover Shanghai. There is nothing in the world that this kid dared not do!"

"You are very confident in him." Principal Chang stabbed the two of them.

Zhang Zhizhong and Dai Li didn't care either, because they clearly saw that Principal Chang was much easier than before.

He snorted lightly, and Principal Chang said again: "When it comes to Yin Jiang, what is this guy Zhong Yi doing recently?"

Dai Li whispered: "Since Zhong Yi took over as commander-in-chief of the 10th Army, he no longer involved in Yinjiang's government affairs, but only focused on the training of the troops."

Principal Chang asked, "Didn't you really ask again?"

"I really didn't ask anymore." Dai Li said affirmatively, "Zhang Yuanxi left an office for him in the city government, but Zhong Yi has never been there again after he stepped down."

"Where is the Yinxi Industrial Park?" President Chang said again, "Where is the operation of Yinjiang Small Commodity City? And what about Yinfa Bank? Have you ever asked again?"

"It's gone." Dai Li said, "He really let go."

Principal Chang's face was even more relaxed, and he continued to ask, "What are he doing?"

Dai Li whispered: "During this period, he only issued three orders and three commissions."

Before President Chang asked, Dai Li immediately continued: "First, he appointed Wang Yaowu as the commander-in-chief of the Yinjiang Defense Engineering Construction Command, then appointed Qiu Qingquan as the director of the 10th Army Reform and Training Department. Finally, he asked the newly appointed Li Tianxia, ​​Qiu Weida and other six division commanders to find ways to form the officer team of their headquarters."

"What?" President Chang said in surprise, "There is still such a thing?"

It is no wonder that Principal Chang was surprised. With so many generals under his command, which general didn’t try to cover his own acre of three-point land and never let others intervene? But Zhong Yi actually let himself go and let his six division commanders form the officer team of his headquarters by himself? I can’t understand this at all.
