Looking at Su Rui with a troubled expression, Liang Zhi also felt helpless. China's foundation is really too thin, so thin that no one can control it even if you get the equipment.
Seeing that the atmosphere was a bit dull, Su Ruiqiang cheered up and said with a smile: "Forget it, let's not talk about this. When the recruitment is completed again, we can start to form the armored division again. This time we will form two of them at once. We will definitely be able to
Beat the shit out of the little devil. But now we still have to discuss how to expand the army again..."
It can be said that the war in Fujian has attracted the attention of all China. Both the Chongqing government and the Japanese government have set their sights on this land. For the Japanese base camp, this is a battle they cannot afford to lose.
, because once they lose, it means that the dominance of this area on the southeast coast will completely fall into the hands of the Seventh Army. This will be a huge blow to the Japanese side. Moreover, nearly 20 people gathered on the Fujian battlefield.
The Japanese army will feel heartbroken if they lose tens of thousands of elite members of the Japanese army.
The Chongqing government is also paying attention to this war. For Chairman Chiang, Su Rui and his Seventh Army have become an unstable factor. For this well-equipped and powerful army, Jiang
People love and hate it at the same time. What I love is that this army has attracted a lot of hatred from the Japanese, which has reduced the pressure on the Central Army a lot. What I hate is that such a powerful armed force does not completely belong to me.
In another time and space, 1939 and 1940 were originally the most difficult years for the Nationalist Government. A large amount of territory was lost and the army was retreating steadily. However, in this time and space, history has turned a corner. Since the Su Rui
After this variable appeared, the victims became the Japanese.
As Suri's strength grows, his counterattacks against the Japanese become more and more fierce. At first, he only wiped out the Japanese army piecemeal, then to the complete annihilation of one division after another, and now it is even more developed.
It was time to start regaining lost territory one province at a time. This change made it impossible for the Japanese to launch attacks on the Kuomintang-controlled areas without any scruples. They were forced to turn their attention to Guangdong and other provinces where Suri was located. Now they have the opportunity to conquer East China.
and signs of troop movements from South China to Central China.
In the office of Zeng Jiayan Apartment, Chairman Chiang who always likes to sit behind his desk and work today made an exception and sat on the sofa in the reception area. His thin body was completely sunken into the sofa. In front of him stood several people from the current national political circles.
No matter who stands alone in front of ordinary people, these people are giant figures, but here they can only look at the man sitting on the sofa respectfully, waiting for his words.
After a long time, Chairman Chiang's voice echoed in the office as if floating from the sky, "So the Japanese have begun to withdraw troops from various battlefields ahead?"
"It's not a withdrawal of troops, it's just a reduction of troops. At least that's the current situation. And according to the greedy temperament of the Japanese, they will not spit out what they have already obtained." The military commander stood in front of Chairman Chiang with his head held high.
Bureau chief Dai Li quickly corrected his boss's mistake.
"Otherwise. I think the reduction of Japanese troops just proves one thing. The Japanese must reduce their troops on all fronts, because what they have to deal with now is another bigger threat." On the other side,
Chen Cheng explained this issue from a military perspective.
"Whether the Japanese are withdrawing their troops or reducing their troop strength, at least one thing has been proven, that is, the Japanese have shifted their focus from the Japanese to Suri and his Seventh Army. In this way, we will
There is enough time to train new troops." Chen Brai, standing behind Chen Cheng and Dai Li, looked very optimistic.
After the three people finished expressing their thoughts, they all looked at the boss in front of them quietly, waiting for the boss to make the final decision.
Chairman Chiang took a sip of boiled water from the coffee table. He smacked it in his mouth and then said: "It's a good thing that the Japanese are shrinking their troops from the front. This can at least allow our generals in the front to have a good sleep."
Speaking of this, Chairman Jiang had a mocking look on his face, while Chen Cheng and others looked a little embarrassed. In recent years, the Japanese have been unstoppable on the battlefield. First, the capital Jinling was lost, and then along the coast
The whole region also fell, and the Japanese occupied nearly half of China's territory in less than three years. If it weren't for military loans and assistance from the United States, Britain and other countries from time to time, the Nationalist Government would have been unable to survive. Discuss ** Losing the City
The reason for the loss of land is of course poor weapons and equipment, but the frequent occurrence of many Japanese generals being timid and fleeing before fighting is also a main reason. As the leader of a country, Chairman Chiang also paid tribute to his students.
The poor performance made me angry and ashamed.
Logically speaking, Chairman Chiang Kai-shek should be so happy that such a strong general and an army appeared in the **. But the crux of the problem is that the military commander of this army and Chairman Chiang are not the same people. In the committee members
In the long run, Su Rui is ambitious and anxious. Well, these are not the key points. The key point is that the military commander of this unit is not his student, and he is also fighting against the two veterans who have been fighting with him for decades.
The enemies were mixed together, and this was what made Chairman Chiang feel uneasy the most.
He stopped looking at everyone's faces, and Chairman Jiang slowly said: "Are you all very happy now? The Japanese have withdrawn their troops. You can sit back and relax, and you can continue to live in a dream, but don't forget
Now, the Japanese still occupy nearly half of our country’s territory, and they can come back at any time, haven’t you seen this?”
The more Chairman Chiang spoke, the louder he became. Finally, he slapped the coffee table hard, making a "bang" sound, which startled the three people in front of him. They all stood there in silence, not daring to say a word.
"How come the party-state has raised you bunch of losers? If each of you were half as capable as Su Zhongxin, we would have driven the Japanese out of China long ago. I wouldn't be so worried that I can't sleep all night long!"
Having said this, Chairman Chiang stood up and walked to Chen Cheng, looked directly at him and said: "Cixiu, you are the deputy minister of the Ministry of Military Affairs. I ask you, with the current strength of our army, can we launch a major counterattack and regain our strength?"
How many big cities have fallen ahead?"
"Recapture the big cities?"
Chen Cheng shouted in surprise, and secretly complained in his heart. With the current strength of the **, it is almost enough to recapture a few small counties. If you want to regain big cities like Yichang and Jingzhou, you can't even think about it. The ** dares to go there.
.The Japanese will definitely beat them to death.
Thinking of this, Chen Cheng said with a bitter face: "Reporting to the committee, according to the strength of our army, it is okay to recover a few small counties, but if we attack the big cities, we will not be able to do so."
"Do you have enough strength?" Chairman Chiang snorted, "I'm afraid you don't have the ability?"
"The department is incompetent and I have let you down." Chen Cheng lowered his head in shame.
"You still know that you are incompetent? But look at Su Zhongxin, he has only been in Guangdong for a few years. Not only has he turned Guangdong into his own territory, but he has also taken over Jiangxi, and now he is even preparing to join Fujian.
Restoration. And our dignified central government actually wants to look at the face of a local warlord. This is simply a disgrace, a disgrace to the party and the country!"
At the end of the sentence, Chairman Chiang simply roared, making the three people in front of him tremble with fear.
After scolding the three people, Chairman Jiang felt that the suffocation in his heart was relieved. He waved his hand impatiently and was about to drive the three people away. Unexpectedly, Dai Li, who had been silent all this time, suddenly stood up.
He came out and said: "Principal, the students recently got a piece of information. It's about Suri."
Chairman Chiang picked up the glass and took a sip of water, and said angrily: "What is it? Why are you hesitating? Why don't you say it quickly?"
"Yes!" Dai Li quickly took a step forward and said: "Principal, the students just received a report from our intelligence station stationed in Guangzhou this morning. Su Rui is preparing to recruit troops in Guangdong, and the scale of the recruitment is unprecedented.
It is said that 300,000 soldiers will be recruited!"
"What. Three...three hundred thousand!"
"Dang Cang..."
The glass in Chairman Jiang's hand fell to the ground with a crisp sound, and everyone in the room was stunned by the news.
Everyone present can be called the elite of this era. If this news is true, they know very well what it means.
"Is this news true?" Chen Brai is known as a literary genius, but at this time he couldn't calm down anymore and asked in a loud voice, while several people next to him also looked at him nervously.
Dai Li took a deep breath and nodded slowly.
There was silence in the office. It took a long time before a familiar Chinese curse sounded in the office.
"Nang Xipi, what does Su Zhongxin want to do? He does not have the permission of the central government or the approval of the Ministry of Military Affairs. He even expands the army without authorization. Does he want to openly resist the government?"
Chen Cheng also said with a livid face: "Surui's 7th Army originally had 200,000 troops, but now he, Li and Bai have joined forces, plus the 7th, 46th, and 48th-3rd from the original Guangxi faction.
His army alone has more than 300,000 men and nearly 400,000 men. If he expands his army by another 300,000, his army will reach 700,000!"
"Isn't it more?" Dai Li quietly broke the news. According to the latest news from the intelligence station, Su Rui established ten security brigades in Guangdong in the name of local township corps. Each security brigade has a strength of 10,000.
About five, that is to say, if Su Rui's army expansion is completed, his army will reach 850,000.
After hearing this, Chairman Chiang no longer even thought about cursing. If this news is true, Su Rui can now compete with him for the world without waiting for the Japanese to be driven out of Bad China.
At this time, only Dai Li was the calmest among everyone. Anyway, Su Rui's conscription had little to do with him. He was just an intelligence chief, and all he did was report the intelligence he obtained to his boss. As for the military
Strategic matters have nothing to do with him, and they are beyond his control. As for Suri's power to compete with his boss for the world, it's still early for him, and he can't control things that far away.
Chairman Chiang was not a bad person. After the initial shock, he quickly calmed down and said to everyone: "It has happened, and it is useless to complain. The most important thing right now is to quickly strengthen our strength to cope with the upcoming crisis."
The coming sudden change. Immediately, you draft an official letter to President Roosevelt of the United States, requesting the United States to increase its assistance to our country and to establish ten infantry divisions, ten heavy artillery regiments and two hundred of the latest aircraft within one year.
fighter planes, otherwise without the support of strong force, the situation in China will only become more and more chaotic. And a chaotic China will not be of any benefit to the United States."
"Yes, Chairman, I will draft the telegram immediately tonight." Chen Brei looked stern and agreed immediately.
"Ci Xiu!"
"Here we come!" Chen Cheng agreed and stood up in front of Chairman Chiang with his head held high.
"As soon as you get down, you will issue a notice in the name of the Ministry of Military Affairs to upgrade Su Zhongxin's military rank to a first-class general, and appoint him as the commander of the fourth theater to take charge of all combat matters in the fourth theater!"
"It's... uh... what?"
Chen Cheng didn't react for a moment. He looked at his boss in surprise. Chairman Jiang sighed and then said: "Su Zhongxin's second son is now full-fledged. We can't be tough on him, we can only use gentle tactics to slowly and slowly learn from him."
Otherwise, once he turns against us, we will be passive."
Chen Cheng asked in astonishment: "Then you let Su Zhongxin become the commander of the Fourth War Zone. What will Zhang Xianghua (formerly Commander of the Fourth War Zone Zhang Fakui) do?"
Chairman Chiang snorted angrily: "What else can we do, I can only aggrieve him. Transfer him back to Chongqing to serve as a senior adviser to the Military Commission."
Chen Cheng gave a bitter smile and said, "As a consultant, I don't ask. In China, the position of consultant is originally a false position. I'm afraid people won't be happy to let Zhang Fakui serve as a consultant in name only. It's just that Chen Cheng understands his boss's temper. Since he has made the decision himself,
. Then he will not change easily. All he can do is to comfort Zhang Fakui.
After explaining to Chen Bui and Chen Cheng, Chairman Jiang turned his gaze to Dai Li, and his deep gaze made Dai Li's heart tremble. After a while, Chairman Jiang nodded to him and said: "Yunong, you are very good.
Well, you are worthy of being my student. You even got such confidential information as Su Zhongxin. You have lived up to my trust!" After saying that, he patted Dai Li's shoulder approvingly to show encouragement.
It was the first time for Dai Li to receive such praise from Chairman Chiang. This move made him, who was originally gloomy, so excited that he couldn't control himself. He said with some excitement: "The principal is overly complimentary. The students are just doing their part."
That’s all.”
"Duty?" Chairman Chiang suddenly said self-deprecatingly: "Yes, duty. You are right, but there are too few people in this world who can fulfill their duty."
After following Chairman Chiang for so long, everyone was familiar with their boss's temper, so they stood quietly waiting for new orders. Fortunately, a certain person did not keep everyone waiting for long, and after a pause, he said to Dai Li
"Yunong. Immediately send a report to your people stationed in Guangdong after you return. I don't care what methods you use. You must sneak into Su Zhongxin's side and report his every move. It's best to control him.
People around him. Remember, this must be done as soon as possible."
Dai Li was shaken all over and immediately said loudly: "Yes. The students will make arrangements immediately!"
"Okay, you all can go out!" After finishing speaking, Chairman Jiang sat down heavily on the sofa, and then waved his hand to signal everyone to go out.
Dai Li slowly followed Chen Cheng and Chen Bui out of the office. The three of them walked to the parking place in silence. Chen Bui suddenly stopped and said to Dai Li seriously: "Yunong!"
Dai Li quickly stopped and asked, "Secretary-General Chen, what are your orders?"
Chen Bulei glanced at Dai Li meaningfully and said seriously: "I don't dare to take orders. I have to talk to you about some things in person. Yunong, you must act with caution and do not do anything that the chairman of the committee just ordered you to do."
Don't go too far, otherwise no one can save you once things get serious."
Dai Li secretly sneered in his heart, but on the surface he still said to Chen Bui respectfully: "Dai Li has learned a lesson from Secretary-General Chen's words. Don't worry, I will definitely keep it in mind."
Chen Brai stared at Dai Li for a long time before saying solemnly: "I hope you really keep it in mind! Okay, you go and do your work."
"Okay, then I'll leave first. Resignation, Secretary-General Chen, I'll take my leave first!" After saying that, Dai Li got into his car and quickly left the sight of the two of them.
Seeing that Dai Li's car was missing, Chen Cheng said to Chen Bui: "Brother Yanji, what you just said seemed to have other meanings. Are you worried..."
Chen Bulei sighed, and then said: "Resigning, I'm afraid that the Chairman will do something stupid when he is confused for a moment. And it's not like you don't know Dai Yunong, in his eyes, besides the Chairman, there is no one else
There is no room for others. You have seen what happened just now. Now the Chairman of the Standing Committee has regarded Su Zhongxin as a strong enemy. If one day Dai Li is eager to perform meritorious deeds and orders his agents to assassinate Su Zhongxin, think about the consequences.
How about it?"
"hiss……"
Chen Cheng couldn't help but take a breath of cold air. The possibility that Chen Buley mentioned really exists, not only exists, but also has a great possibility. If Dai Li really assassinates Su Rui, regardless of whether the assassination is successful or not,
The city will completely push the Seventh Army into opposition to the central government.
Seeing Chen Cheng's changing expression, Chen Bui knew that the other party already knew the seriousness of the matter. Then he said leisurely: "Fortunately, the matter still happened, and there is still time to rectify it. Tomorrow you and I will call Jingzhi and a few others to persuade him."
I would like to advise the chairman of the committee to think carefully and not to do anything stupid."
"Well, I will. I will go find He Jingzhi later!" Chen Cheng said resolutely. (To be continued. If you like this work, you are welcome to come to Qidian.com to vote for recommendations and monthly votes. Your support is
