Chapter 356 Looking for a place
Su Tong and Jiang Baili of the Seventh War Zone Headquarters were drinking tea and chatting together, "Jianming, what did you gain from going to Nanjing this time?"
Su Tong shrugged his shoulders, "What we can gain is nothing more than fighting a few battles and annihilating a few Japanese."
"Isn't that right?" Jiang Baili glanced at him with a half-smile, "You emptied out several universities and took everyone from teachers to students abducted. Now people are spreading rumors that you are a bandit general."
"It's better to take it from us than leave it to the Japanese," Su Tong muttered in a low voice. Then he became happy again. This time, tens of thousands of teachers and students from Jinling University, Jinling Women's University and other schools were evacuated from Nanjing.
People, these people will become the main force in various industries in Chahar in a few years.
To be honest, Chahar is now frantically introducing various talents from all over the world, especially the arrival of nearly one million Jews, which has greatly alleviated Chahar's demand for talents. But Su Tong always feels that
He is not very practical. He will never allow the lifeline of the country to be in the hands of foreigners. He still knows that people who are not from my race will have different hearts.
"You!" Jiang Baili couldn't help but laugh out loud, but in his heart he still agreed with this. Chinese people have a tradition of loving talents since ancient times, and Jiang Baili was no exception. What he said just now was the expression of the elders' love for their favorite juniors.
Just a kind of nagging.
"By the way, what do you plan to do with the troops who have withdrawn from Nanjing? Don't let them eat free here?" He also had a little humor towards his favorite junior Jiang Baili.
Su Tong smiled and said nonchalantly, "What else can we do? Let's send those hardcore members of the Chairman back, but there are some people I like better. I plan to try to see if I can bring them over."
Jiang Baili pondered for a moment and said cautiously: "That's okay, but we have to be careful in selecting people. We can't raise a white-eyed wolf."
"That's right." Su Tong thought for a moment and smiled: "But I'm not worried about that. Who would dare to mess around with a banner like yours?"
Jiang Baili smiled and said, "You will be a hands-off shopkeeper."
Jiang Baili was quite reassured by his godson-in-law's methods in this regard. Apart from anything else, the investigation bureau led by his goddaughter Xia Yuxin was not a vegetarian, and people with ulterior motives could not escape her eyes.
At this time, a staff officer came in and reported, "Sir Su, Commander Chiang, Commander Wang Jingjiu of the 71st Army is outside asking to see Mr Su."
"Oh" Su Tong and Jiang Baili looked at each other, "It's almost dinner time now, how come Wang Jingjiu came to the headquarters? Is there something urgent?"
"Invite him in." Everyone here is a guest, so this bit of face should be given to others.
After a while, Wang Jingjiu strode in and loudly announced, "Hello, Mr. Su, and Mr. Dan Ning."
"Oh, it's Brother Youping who's here. Please invite Counselor Wang and serve tea." Su Tong still gave these people face in private situations.
"No, I know that the two officers are rich and have a lot of things to do, but I still want to ask for a favor this time. Please let me go." Wang Jingjiu said with a straight face and did not sit down.
"Oh" Su Tong and Jiang Baili looked at Wang Jingjiu strangely, "Brother Youping, where do you start with this?"
"There are a few incompetent subordinates in the humble position. They were detained by the gendarmerie when they were on the streets today. The gendarmerie went to the gendarmerie to ask for them, but they refused to let them go. They also said that they would hand them over to a military court. There was no way in the humble position, so they had to go to the door. Sir, please show your respect."
Wang Jingjiu was really angry. When Shen Fazao, the commander of the Eighty-seventh Division, came to report that one of his battalion commanders was detained by the gendarmerie in Zhangjiakou and refused to be released, Wang Jingjiu thought it was just a trivial matter. , he sent Shen Fazao to the gendarmerie headquarters to collect the person in person, but instead of giving him face, they said they would send the person to a military court.
Shen Fazao was furious on the spot. When had the Central Army suffered such a loss? The guards from a company he brought with him showed off on the spot. Unexpectedly, the other party just smiled coldly and said contemptuously: "Commander Shen, Are you sure you want to touch this guy? Don’t let anyone rescue you by then, and it would be embarrassing if I got you in again."
"You" Shen Fazao was immediately furious. When did a young lieutenant colonel dare to speak to him like this?
Shen Fazao, who was going crazy at that time, was about to order the troops to take action when the roar of tanks came from the side. After a while, four Northwest Tiger tanks drove to the door of the gendarmerie headquarters, watching with eager eyes. Looking at them, the muzzle of the cannon was also turning back and forth, and it was obvious that he was planning to fire at the slightest disagreement.
Seeing that he could not take advantage, Shen Fazao had no choice but to withdraw to the station with his troops angrily and reported the incident to Wang Jingjiu. Wang Jingjiu felt that something was wrong upon hearing this.
"Military seat, I think that Su Tong clearly wants to give us a showdown. If we go soft this time, we won't even be able to lift our heads," Shen Fazao said angrily from the side.
"Shut up, I have my own opinion on this matter." Wang Jingjiu thought for a while before deciding to pay a visit to Commander Su and Jiang Baili.
Su Tong took out a pack of loose cigarettes and gave one to Wang Jingjiu before lighting the cigarette. He blew out a smoke ring and said slowly, "Brother Youping, don't be anxious. First, tell me what happened today. How was your subordinate detained?"
"Well," Wang Jingjiu blushed after hearing this and said, "They had a few words with the restaurant owner while eating in a restaurant in the city, and were detained by the gendarmerie."
"Isn't that right?" Su Tong shook his head: "If this is the case, the gendarmerie has no reason to detain them, there must be something hidden in it."
"This" Wang Jingjiu hesitated before saying: "They just made a joke with the waitress in the tavern, and the two sides started to quarrel. Then my subordinate took out his gun and was detained by the tavern people. They got off, and then the gendarmerie took them away."
At this point, Wang Jingjiu said with some embarrassment: "Sir Su, they fought hard against the Japanese outside Nanjing. Now they can be said to have saved their lives. So what if they just made a joke with a girl? Are we the same?" This is how you treat a minister who has made great contributions to the fight against Japan.”
"Well." Su Tong frowned immediately when he heard this: "Commander Wang, I want to ask you, is this how you teach your subordinates on weekdays? Yes, they are men on the battlefield, but this is not the case. It doesn't mean that they can bully men and dominate women on the street after they leave the battlefield. Why do we fight so hard with the Japanese on the battlefield? Isn't it just to make the people in the rear live a good life? Why do we do this after we leave the battlefield? He’s doing something that only Japanese bandits can do.”
Su Tong's face gradually darkened as he spoke, "Don't think that teasing a woman is a small matter. What we are wearing now and what we are holding are not given to us by the common people. It is not an exaggeration to say that they are our food, clothing, and parents.
They live a frugal life to support us, but is this how we repay them? Do you think those people should be arrested?"
Don't tell me, Chief Su always talked about great principles in the same way. Wang Jingjiu's face turned red with these words. In the end, he became so angry that he couldn't help but slap the table and yelled: "Su Tong, I
"Jing you are my commander, but I, Wang Jingjiu, am not a soft persimmon that can be pinched by others. Please give me a pleasant word today, will you let this person go or not?"
Su Tong sneered as soon as he heard this: "Okay, after all these years, you are still the first person who dares to slam the table in front of me in my headquarters. This time I will not hold you responsible for defying the commander. But I
Let me tell you Wang Jingjiu, I will never let people go. If you have the ability, let them go. But I can tell you that I won’t have such a good temper next time."
Jiang Baili on the side saw the conflict between the two parties and quickly shouted to Wang Jingjiu, "Youping, what are you doing? Why don't you apologize to Chief Su quickly?"
"Humph, there's no way you want me to apologize. But I can tell you, if you don't let me go, I will sue Chairman Chiang Kai-shek and the Ministry of Military Affairs." Wang Jingjiu is also a graduate of the first phase of Huangpu, and he has always regarded him as the emperor.
I think I am a disciple, but I have never suffered from such sullenness. Today, I was in a hurry and had the best temper in the world.
"Wang Jingjiu," with Jiang Baili's good temper, couldn't help but get angry when he saw his ruffian likeness, "Don't use the Chairman to pressure us. I'm not afraid to tell you the truth. Even if the Chairman came here in person, we would say the same thing."
.You can send a telegram now. I want to see how the chairman of the committee will handle this matter. But I will say something ugly first. This is Chahar, not a place for you, Wang Jingjiu, to show off your authority. If you really want to
I can find a place for you to show off your prestige, you can choose between Peiping and Rehe. As long as you can show off your prestige there, I, Jiang Fangzhen, will immediately release your people without saying a word, and apologize to you on the spot, otherwise you will still
Let’s go back and forth from wherever we are.”
Jiang Baili was issuing an eviction order. Seeing Wang Jingjiu angrily rushing out of the door after being unable to get any benefits, Su Tong couldn't help but snorted, "These disciples of the Emperor all have their eyes in the sky. There were Japanese soldiers in Nanjing before."
I couldn't see it when I was in the border, but now I have revealed my true colors as soon as I returned to the rear. These people cannot be kept, and they will be asked to get out in a few days. Our Chahar Temple is small, and we cannot keep these great gods. I will report it to the Chairman in a moment
Send a telegram"
Wang Jingjiu, who returned angrily, returned to the camp and felt extremely indignant, but he did not send a telegram to the Chairman. He also knew that what Jiang Baili just said was the truth.
