Li Zongren stretched out his chopsticks and picked up a piece of chicken. He shook the chopsticks and the chicken bones immediately fell out from the stewed muscles. He put the chicken into his mouth and chewed it, then nodded with satisfaction: "Yeah,
The taste is pretty good, with the Panax notoginseng, mushrooms and green onions in it just right, but this steam pot is not very authentic. The authentic steam pot is undoubtedly the purple pottery steam pot produced in Jianshui, south of Kunming, Yunnan, using local red, yellow,
Made of five colors of green, purple and white clay, it has the characteristics of "color like copper, sound like a singing voice, smooth like a mirror, and will never fade". The steam pot chicken made in this kind of steam pot has the most delicious taste."
Seeing Li Zongren shaking his head, Su Rui wished he could give him two violent shudders to wake him up. She finally agreed to him, but he actually challenged her. This is really hard to do for a good person.
Seeing that Su Rui was really anxious, Li Zongren put down his chopsticks and said to Su Rui: "Zhongxin, how many troops do you want our fifth theater to send?"
Su Rui rolled his eyes and said angrily: "Of course, the more the merrier. Jiangxi is now the territory of the Japanese Army's Central China Front. With my strength, I have not been able to shake them in the near future. If you can dispatch 300,000 to 400,000 troops,
That’s pretty much it.”
"Thirty or four hundred thousand troops?" Bai Chongxi glared and cursed: "There are only more than forty troops in the entire fifth theater now. They are all helping you. There is no need to defend other places. At most, there will be one or two troops. If there are more, they will be gone."
Su Rui turned his attention to Li Zongren again, and when he saw that he didn't express anything, he knew that this was the maximum force that the other party could draw. He pondered for a while before saying: "Do the two armies you mobilize include the Seventh Army?
"
"Haha..." Li Zongren was so angry that he pointed at Su Rui and scolded with a smile: "You have such a bad tone. You asked me to name the things at the bottom of the box as soon as you opened your mouth. You really dare to open your mouth."
"Why don't I dare to speak up? This matter has nothing to do with me. It's you who begged me for help, okay? Why do you take it for granted and make it seem like I beg you? Have you made a mistake?
!" Su Rui said confidently: "If you really make me angry, I won't send troops. You can do whatever you like."
Li Zongren sighed, "Okay, the Seventh Army will be the Seventh Army. If you have any other requests, please put them forward."
"That's pretty much it!" Su Rui also picked up a chicken leg and took a bite. The soft and fragrant smell spread into his mouth. He then said slowly: "Well, it would be great if you could bring in the Seventh Army.
You can decide what to do with the other army yourself, but I still have two requests. First, on the day when the Jiangxi Campaign begins, the command of these two armies will belong to me. Second, I request a date for launching the Jiangxi Campaign.
Can you postpone it to next month?"
Li Zongren thought for a while and said hesitantly: "There is no problem that the command power belongs to you, but the date of launching the Jiangxi Campaign has to be postponed to next month. Is it too late?"
"Too late?" Su Rui said with a bitter smile: "I just hate that it's too early. I wish I could postpone the launch for half a year. Now my army is expanding and the organization is being reorganized. Let me launch it as soon as you come.
The Battle of Jiangxi. I just postponed it for a month, it is already very soon."
Hearing this, Li Zongren and Bai Chongxi also blushed. It was true that they were a little hasty. They rushed over to ask someone to launch an attack on the Japanese army, that is, Su Rui. If it had been another person,
I'm afraid people have already turned against each other.
Seeing the troubled looks on Li and Bai's faces, Su Rui asked in surprise: "Why, you can't even wait a month? You have to let me integrate the troops before launching the attack, otherwise you
You really think I am Sun Wukong who can transform seventy-two."
"Okay, just one month!" Bai Chongxi gritted his teeth, "At worst, I don't have to fight for a month even if I show my old face. I'll go to Chairman Chiang and tell him that one month shouldn't be a big problem.
.But Zhongxin, have you thought about how many troops to mobilize to pretend to attack Jiangxi? And you have to take care of your hometown to attack Jiangxi. If the Japanese take the opportunity to kick your hometown, it will be a loss!"
"Feint?" Su Rui said disdainfully: "Did I say I was going to feint?"
Li Zongren nodded, then looked at Su Rui with wide eyes: "Well, feint...what are you not feinting?"
Su Rui smiled, and the smile was so cunning: "Since you two have so strongly requested and cooperated with me to attack Jiangxi, wouldn't I be looking down on you two too much if I still conduct a feint attack? So I have decided that I will take this piece of Jiangxi territory.
It’s time to decide, are you two interested in Jiangxi?”
Li and Bai looked at each other, and suddenly felt that their thinking could no longer keep up with this young man. Bai Chongxi was known as Little Zhuge, and his thinking was naturally not slow. After thinking about it, he immediately asked: "Zhongxin, do you really want to attack?"
Jiangxi? Do you know how many Japanese troops are currently entrenched in Jiangxi? Once you really attack Jiangxi, how many people will be disturbed? How will the Japanese and Chinese Central Front react? "
"reflect?"
Su Rui smiled faintly, and snorted coldly: "I don't know how many Japanese troops are entrenched in Jiangxi, and I don't care how many people's nerves a real attack on Jiangxi will affect. As for the reaction of the Central China Front Army, it is even more ridiculous. Could it be that I
Do we need to care about the reaction of Juichi Terauchi to regain our own land? What I know now is that as long as the expansion of my Seventh Army is completed, I will have an army of 200,000 in hand. With these 200,000 troops, let alone Jiangxi
Yes, I dare to fight even Fujian!"
"hiss……"
Li and Bai took a deep breath. This little guy was really high-spirited. Judging from his appearance, he probably really wanted to pretend to take over Jiangxi.
Li Zongren suddenly stood up and said to Su Rui: "Zhongxin, where is the map?"
Su Rui also stood up with a smile: "It's in the study room, I'll take you there!"
After saying that, Su Rui stood up and walked to his study first...
Suri's study is located to the right of the small restaurant. It is a large room of more than 30 square meters. In the eyes of ordinary people, this study is already very large, but for Su Rui it still seems a bit insufficient. When Li and Bai entered the study
, the first feeling is that there are too many books. Four or five bookshelves are densely filled with books. There are also some maps and information scattered around. There is also a lazy chair and a coffee table next to the desk.
Coupled with several rifles and several command knives that were obviously captured from the Japanese army hanging on the wall, it looked messy.
Looking at the messy study, Li Zongren couldn't help but smile and joked: "Zhongxin, I think your study is similar to Mr. Lu Xun's study!"
"Ah...Mr. Lu Xun?"
Su Rui was confused when he heard this. He never expected that Li Zongren would put himself together with the great Mr. Lu Xun. His family knew his own affairs. No matter how arrogant he was, he would not dare to compare with Mr. Lu Xun in knowledge. That was not Confucius.
Showing off the Analects of Confucius in front of Guan Gong, or wielding a machete in front of Guan Gong?
Seeing the puzzled look on Su Rui's face, Li Zongren explained with a smile: "In the 20s, Mr. Lu Xun was rated as a "student bandit" by some people because he supported the student movement. "Student bandit", well, he lived there
Of course, the house is where the robbers live. Therefore, Mr. Lu Xun named the study room in Xisantiao Hutong inside Fuchengmen, Beiping, where he lived, "Green Forest Bookstore". In order to make a fool of himself, I think Zhongxin, your study room is also very Lu Xun-like.
What a style sir."
"Fuck!" Su Rui gave Li Zongren a big eye roll. This guy was just roundabout calling himself a bandit. Lu Xun's study room was called "Green Forest Bookstore" and people would think it was elegant. If he really changed the name of his study room,
Green Forest Study may make all the pigs in the country laugh.
Ignoring this guy, Su Rui walked to a wall, pulled open a green curtain and turned on the light. He revealed a huge map hanging on the wall and said: "Gong De, Chief Bai, please!"
Li Zongren stopped joking with Su Rui. He and Bai Chongxi quickly walked to the map and looked at it carefully. His brows slowly wrinkled. Then they calmed down. After a few times, he said to Su Rui:
"Zhongxin, the Central China Front Army has three divisions in Jiangxi. How do you plan to capture them?"
Su Rui smiled faintly: "Only three divisions. You have already dispatched two armies. I will dispatch another army. Adding an armored division, two flying regiments and a bombing brigade should be enough to control Jiangxi.
Wrestled back from the hands of the Japanese!"
Li Zongren looked at Su Rui in surprise, "Armored division? Zhongxin, have you formed an armored division? Didn't you only form an armored regiment?"
Suri said angrily: "I can't expand my capacity!"
"Pfft..." Li Zongren smiled, "Of course, you can expand an armored army." After saying that, Li Zongren turned around and looked at Su Rui carefully, with a hint of surprise in his eyes. He brought such a
Although he has never formed an armored force as a soldier for many years, this does not hinder his understanding of armored forces. He also knows how difficult it is to form an armored force. Not to mention tank spare parts and so on, it is a tank pilot.
Training is not a simple matter. Su Rui was surprised to be able to establish an armored regiment. Now it has been expanded into an armored division. This is a straight line for fuel, personnel and daily expenses for the troops.
Rise.
After thinking for a while, Li Zongren said solemnly: "Zhongxin, if you really have an armored division, it is not impossible to capture Jiangxi, but casualties are estimated to be inevitable. Are you prepared to withstand such casualties?
"
Bai Chongxi also stared at Su Rui and said word by word: "There is no joke in the army!"
Su Rui smiled. He stared at Li and Bai and said with certainty: "Gong De, Chief Bai, don't worry. As long as you can send troops on time, I will be sure to win Jiangxi!"
After saying that, Su Rui walked to the wall and pointed at the map and said: "Gong De, sir Bai, look, the main force of the fifth theater is in Hongtong Mountain, while our fourth theater is in Guangdong, and the Japanese eleventh army is in Hubei.
, Hunan, and the main force of the Japanese Central Front Army is in Jiangxi, Fujian, and Zhejiang. If our army can capture Jiangxi in one fell swoop, it will not only be able to severely damage the Japanese army, but also cut off the connection between the Japanese Eleventh Army and the Central China Front Army in one fell swoop.
Whether we attack eastward towards Fujian and Zhejiang or launch a counterattack towards Wuhan, the initiative is in our hands. But what about us? After we capture Jiangxi, we can connect the fourth, fifth and ninth theaters.
One piece, this is extremely beneficial to my cause of resisting Japan!" At this point, Su Rui's face couldn't help but show a flush of excitement.
After hearing Su Rui's talk, Li Zongren and Bai Chongxi couldn't help but look at each other. Bai Chongxi smiled bitterly and said: "Zhongxin's words are extremely reasonable, but have you ever thought about it? Chairman Chiang has already allowed you to occupy the territory of Guangdong Province."
This is the limit of tolerance. If you occupy Jiangxi again, I'm afraid he won't be able to tolerate you no matter how generous he is, right?"
Su Rui sneered, "I'm afraid it's not up to him, right? As long as our occupation of Jiangxi is a foregone conclusion, Chairman Jiang will have to pinch his nose and endure it no matter how reluctant he is, otherwise don't blame me for falling out with him."
"What?" Li Zongren was shocked. He said hurriedly: "Zhongxin, don't be confused. Now the whole country is emphasizing the unified resistance to Japan. If you insist on going your own way, how will the people of the country think of you? If you do this, your reputation will be ruined."
destroyed!"
Li Zongren's worry is justified. Now Su Rui has the halo of anti-Japanese hero on his head. Although this halo does not help Su Rui's strength growth, it is also equivalent to a talisman. With this halo on his head,
If Chairman Chiang wants to deal with him, he will have to be more cautious. If Su Rui falls out with the Central Committee, Chiang Kai-shek will take the opportunity to accuse him of sabotaging the war of resistance, which will be extremely detrimental to him.
Su Rui smiled and shook his head slightly: "Gong De, I have a different opinion. In the end, strength speaks for itself in this world. As long as we are strong enough, Chairman Chiang cannot do anything to us no matter how big his opinions are."
.I have been thinking about a question all this time. What do you think would happen if our two powerful forces joined forces?"
Li Zongren's mind suddenly moved. A cold light shot out of his eyes, but he asked with a smile on his face: "A strong alliance? What kind of alliance method?"
As if he didn't see the other party's eyes, Su Rui still said slowly: "For example, our cooperative relationship can be deeper, or even the two families can become one. What do you think?"
Hearing this, Bai Chongxi, who had a look of amusement on his face, also showed a look of solemnity, and his face gradually became stagnant. After a long time, Bai Chongxi asked lightly: "Zhongxin, are you so confident that we can unite in this battle?"
How can we do it together without conflict?"
Su Rui smiled. "Sir Bai, you and Mr. De now have three armies in hand. There are about more than 200,000 troops. I also have the establishment of three armies in hand now. As long as you give me another half year, I will be confident."
Raising an army with more than 200,000 soldiers, its strength will definitely be no worse than yours. If we join forces, we can control more than 400,000 troops. By then, it will not be a problem to sweep across the southeastern coast of China. Germany and I
Gongtong's troops are outside, while Chief Bai is in the center. I and Mr. De are outside to support Chief Bai. I want to see who dares not to take notice of you, Deputy Chief of Staff Bai, this time!
"
"Hiss..."
Li and Bai couldn't help but take a breath of cold air. This Su Zhongxin is really incredible. He is clearly trying to compete with the Central Branch! Li and Bai have been running Guangxi for many years, and their foundation can be said to be deep-rooted, and
There are also a large number of his disciples and former officials in the government and the opposition. This is proved by the fact that in another historical time and space, Chiang Kai-shek was forced to hand over the presidency to him after he resigned from office.
As for Suri, this new upstart in the military is the most mysterious one. His development is like a snowball. In less than three years, he has developed into a prince with hundreds of thousands of soldiers. And his army is equipped with equipment.
It is also the most sophisticated in China. If the two sides unite, the chemical effect produced is not as simple as one plus one equals two. If they unite, the deterrent force produced may really threaten the rule of Chiang Kai-shek.
After Su Rui finished speaking, he walked to a chair aside and sat down, poured a cup of tea and drank it slowly, leaving the problem to Li and Bai.
After a long time, Li Zongren cleared his somewhat hoarse throat and said in a deep voice: "Zhongxin, is what you said true?"
"Of course, it's pure gold!" Su Rui's face became serious, and he said in a deep voice: "The current situation is beneficial to us if we unite, and harm if we divide. Think about it, now we have Guangxi in our hands.
, the two provinces of Guangdong, and if Jiangxi, Fujian, Zhejiang and other places are included in its arms, it is not certain who the next president will be!"
Hearing this, Li and Bai's eyes were no longer calm, and their breathing began to quicken. They moved into the center. Why did they resolutely raise the flag to overthrow Chiang Kai-shek during the Central Plains War? Just to get that seat.
? Now that they really have this opportunity in front of them, how can they remain calm?
However, the two of them are not ordinary people after all, and their concentration is also extraordinary. After thinking about it, Li Zongren pointed at Su Rui and smiled bitterly: "Good boy, I was almost persuaded by you. Although the temptation of taking over the Central Committee is great, we can't do it now."
It's not what it used to be. The most important thing in the country right now is the fight against Japan. This premise is overriding. Only by driving the Japanese away can we talk about other things. Otherwise, everything is empty talk. However, this does not hinder our cooperation. Jiansheng
, what do you think?"
Bai Chongxi also nodded: "My opponent, as long as we join hands now, we can still achieve a lot. As long as we can cooperate sincerely, I want to see if anyone dares to take what I said in the Military and Political Department as nonsense.
put!"
In recent years, although Bai Chongxi was nominally the deputy chief of staff in the Ministry of Military Affairs, he did not have much say. The reason is that the power of the Guangxi clique is not strong enough. If this time it is like what Su Rui said, they will join forces.
, then the result will naturally be different, at least he can make his own voice in the center!
