At Zeng Jiayan's official residence in Chongqing, Chairman Chiang was furious when he looked at the latest information sent by Dai Li in his hand.
"What? You said that Li Zongren and Bai Chongxi went to Guangzhou for a private meeting with Su Rui yesterday?"
"Yes...yes principal, according to the report from our intelligence station in Guangzhou, yesterday morning, Li Zongren and Bai Chongxi suddenly arrived in Guangzhou by plane, and then went to Su Rui's army headquarters. At noon, they came to Su Rui's house for dinner.
It wasn't until the afternoon that they took a flight back to Hongtongshan in the Fifth War Zone. As for the content of their conversation, we don't know."
Dai Li stood respectfully in front of Chairman Chiang and told the latest intelligence report in detail. He also knew that this matter was of great importance, so he did not include any personal factors in the report.
He just truthfully told the information reported below so that Chairman Chiang could make a decision.
Chairman Chiang gritted his teeth and shouted word by word: "Li Zongren, Bai Chongxi, Su Rui, what on earth do they want to do? What kind of shameful things do they need to come together in person to discuss?"
Chairman Chiang may not be a good military strategist, but he is definitely the best politician of our time. As soon as Dai Li reported it, he immediately smelled something unusual. He asked in a deep voice: "Yunong, recently
Have there been any changes to the troops in the fifth theater in the past few days?"
Dai Li shook his head: "Principal, although there are some adjustments to the troops in the fifth theater, it is just a normal defense change and there is nothing abnormal."
Chairman Chiang followed up and asked: "Can your military commanders inquire about the conversation between them?"
"Their conversation..." Having said this, Dai Li couldn't help showing a hint of embarrassment in the coming year. His military commander's intelligence warfare strength was the weakest in the fourth theater, especially in Guangzhou. After all, the Japanese occupied Guangzhou last year.
There was only one purge, which greatly reduced the strength of the military commander in Guangzhou. Su Rui also carried out a purge of Guangzhou after regaining Guangzhou. Although there was no blatant purge of the remaining intelligence operations of the military commander, the remaining several intelligence stations were also
It has been exposed. It can be said that the strength of the military commander in Guangzhou has dropped to a very low level. Even if Li Zongren came to Guangzhou, this information came across by chance. Now that Chairman Chiang wants to ask him about the content of his conversation, it is really difficult for him to answer.
come out.
Seeing the embarrassed look on Dai Li's face, Chairman Jiang sighed. He knew that he was really embarrassing Dai Li by asking this question. Li and Bai must have extremely important things to discuss during their private meeting with Su Rui, and their defense must be
How could people from the extremely strict military command enter Suri's private house and listen to their conversations.
Thinking of this, Chairman Chiang waved his hand in disinterest: "Okay, I won't embarrass you anymore, you can go down first."
"Yes, principal!"
When Dai Li heard this, he immediately withdrew from the office as if he was amnesty. When he came to the door and stopped, he found that there was a layer of sweat on his back. He sighed lightly, and a look appeared on his face.
When he first heard this young man's name, he was just a small brigade commander, but in less than two years, he had grown into a theater deputy.
The commander is also the commander of the group army, and what's even more remarkable is that he already has the ability to make the old man afraid.
Just when Dai Li was about to step out, he heard the sound of something breaking behind him, and then a burst of curses with a Fenghua accent in Zhejiang Province came out. Dai Li did not dare to stay longer and hurried out.
When he came to the gate and was about to open the door of the car that had been waiting at the door, he saw another black Fiat car with the license plate Sichuan 003 slowly driving up below. Dai Li was moved when he saw this.
He put down his hand that was about to open the car door and waited aside.
Soon, the black Fiat came to a stop in front of him. Dai Li quickly took two steps forward and opened the car door. He chuckled softly: "Ci Gong, you are here too."
Following Dai Li's voice, Chen Cheng got out of the car. When he saw that it was Dai Li who opened the door for him, a strange look flashed in his eyes, and then he smiled and said, "Yunong, let you, the dignified director of the Military Command Bureau, come here."
I can't afford to open the car door for me. If the committee members find out, they will scold me to death."
Dai Liku closed the car door and smiled bitterly: "Stop teasing me, Mr. Ci. The principal is losing his temper in the office. Fortunately, I came out early, otherwise I would have been scolded again."
"Oh, what on earth made the committee member so angry?" Chen Cheng asked curiously.
"Alas... It's not that Su Rui who caused the trouble." Dai Li sighed, recounted what had just happened, and finally said: "I resigned, the principal is very concerned about this matter. I guess these days
God will let me find out about this matter clearly, and our military command there is particularly weak, so you have to help me think of a way!"
Chen Cheng smiled: "Yunong, aren't you making things difficult for me? I know you, Dai Yunong, can't open the door for me for no reason. And I don't know much about the work of your military commander, so don't set a trap for me. You
It’s better to figure it out on your own!”
Dai Li was anxious, grabbed Chen Cheng's hand and said urgently: "Don't... don't... resign. Now I'm almost worried to death. If the principal asks me next time, I don't know how to answer."
"You..." Chen Cheng glared at Dai Li helplessly, and then sighed: "You, let's tell the truth. It's not like Chairman Chiang doesn't know that the intelligence work in Guangdong and Guangxi is difficult. Don't put too much burden on you.
It’s useless to rush things, just let things take their own course.”
"this……"
Seeing that Chen Cheng's attitude didn't seem to be fake, Dai Li stood aside unwillingly and acted like I won't leave until you tell him, which made Chen Cheng dumbfounded. In the end, he had no choice but to say a few words in Dai Li's ear.
, Dai Li reluctantly got into his car, and the car drove away quickly.
Chen Cheng tidied up his clothes and military appearance, and then walked towards the three-story small foreign-style building...
When he reached an office at the end, Chen Cheng knocked three times until the familiar Fenghua accent came from inside, then he opened the door and walked in.
After entering, he stood at attention and said loudly: "Report to the committee, Chen Cheng is here to report!"
"Oh, it's Ci Xiu, come in!"
Chairman Chiang, who was still sitting behind the desk, nodded, pointed to the sofa in front of him and said, "Sit down."
Chen Cheng walked to the sofa and sat down halfway, looking at Chairman Jiang intently and said: "Commissioner, do you have anything to do with me?"
"Um!"
Chairman Jiang nodded and handed a document on the table to Chen Cheng: "Look, this is the information Yu Nong just sent me. Li Delin, Bai Jiansheng and Su Zhongxin actually got involved.
Together, they met in Guangzhou privately. What do they want to do? Are they openly colluding?"
At this point, Chairman Chiang suddenly raised his voice a few degrees, swung his arms, and shouted in a stern voice: "One is the commander-in-chief of the theater, the other is the deputy chief of staff of the party and state, and the other is the deputy commander-in-chief and deputy commander of the theater.
The commander of the group army ignored the national law and blatantly got together. We will never tolerate this phenomenon and must seriously criticize it! Ci Xiu, you immediately draft a notice to openly criticize these three people and order them to do so every day.
Everyone must report to the central government and implement it immediately after Bai Jiansheng returns!"
Seeing Chairman Chiang's angry look, Chen Cheng secretly sighed. He knew that Chairman Chiang was panicking. Originally, Li and Bai from the Gui clan had already made him a little wary, and now Su Rui was also added.
, this chemical reaction is not as simple as 1+1=2. It can be said that if these three people from the Guangxi faction get together, or form an alliance, then the entire Guangdong and Guangxi will fall under their control again. By then, Li,
One of the two Bai people has the foundation, while Suri has the guns, cannons and planes. Once combined, their power will be strong enough to challenge themselves.
Chen Cheng thought for a while and then slowly said: "Commissioner, in accordance with the opinions of the Ministry of Industry and Commerce, Li and Bai secretly went to Guangzhou just to protect themselves, and they did not necessarily target the central government."
"Hmm? Self-protection?"
Chairman Jiang's eyes suddenly froze. He glared at Chen Cheng with dissatisfaction and said: "Ci Xiu, please explain clearly, what is self-protection? Looking at China today, who can threaten the two princes of the two of them?"
Chen Cheng sighed lightly, looked at Chairman Chiang and said sincerely: "Commissioner, have you forgotten? A few days ago you made a suggestion to transfer the 7th, 46th and 48th armies to the third army respectively.
Bai Jiansheng was opposed to the ninth and first theaters, but you still insisted on doing it. As a result, a week later Bai Jiansheng went to the fifth theater to inspect. Don't you think this is the real cause of the matter? "
"Uh!" Chairman Jiang then remembered that such a thing happened, but he still said dissatisfiedly: "It does happen, but it is normal. As the saying goes, if the soldiers in the iron camp are running smoothly, the troops must be constantly
Mobilize, otherwise it wouldn’t be a private soldier?”
Chen Cheng said sincerely: "But these troops are the housekeeping troops of Li Delin and Bai Jiansheng. If you transfer them all, can they have no ideas?"
In fact, after what happened at that time, Chairman Chiang had already regretted it. He did it in a hurry and did not consider the consequences carefully. Local warlords have always regarded the army as more important than their lives.
Now that I have transferred all the housekeeping troops of Li and Bai at once, it would be strange if they don't fight to the death with me.
But I can't give in now, otherwise where will I lose my dignity as a committee member? Thinking of this, Chairman Jiang's tone hardened again...
