Chapter five hundred and seventy seventh confession
While everyone was talking, another small plate of something was brought from the kitchen. Li Bai and Li Bai laughed when they saw the dish. It turned out that this dish was the famous Guilin fermented bean curd.
Li Zongren pointed at the fermented bean curd and said with a smile: "Zhongxin, you are kind enough to remember Jiansheng and I's taste."
Su Rui said helplessly: "I can't help it. I think Brother Degong and Brother Jiansheng don't seem to like the dishes that were served just now, so I asked the kitchen to serve these things to save you from complaining behind your back when you go back."
When you arrive at my house and you can't even eat well, then my sin is huge."
It turns out that Li and Bai are the same as Su Rui. Although they are both descendants of Bagui, they live in different regions and have very different food tastes. Li and Bai are authentic Guilin people, and the taste there is closer to Hunan.
People prefer hot and sour food, but Suri's taste is close to that of Wuzhou and Guangdong, so the dishes just served are relatively light. Li and Bai didn't like it after a few bites.
Using his chopsticks, Su Rui hinted to the servants on the side to come over with a plate of fermented bean curd and give them some flavor.
"I'll try it first!"
Bai Chongxi, who was sitting next to Su Rui, took the lead in stretching out his chopsticks to dip some fermented bean curd and taste it. Then he couldn't help but praise: "Zhongxin, you made this dish of bean chili fermented fermented very well. It's very authentic. I haven't had it for several years."
Tasting such authentic bean curd reminds me of my hometown again."
Su Rui smiled proudly and said: "I, Ziqing, made this myself, and there are several small jars. If Brother Jiansheng and De Gong like it, I will give you one jar for each of you later."
"Oh, I didn't expect my younger siblings to have such skills, so I won't be polite." Bai Chongxi agreed unceremoniously.
Seeing Bai Chongxi's unyielding expression, everyone laughed.
After the laughter, Suri took out cigarettes from his pocket and distributed them to everyone, and soon the small restaurant began to fill with smoke.
Slowly blowing out a smoke ring, Su Rui said to Li Zongren: "Gong De, you are here this time. Half of the courage on my shoulders has been lifted. From tomorrow on, the internal affairs of the four provinces of Guangdong, Guangxi, Jiangxi and Fujian will
I’ll leave it all to you.”
Li Zongren put down his chopsticks, picked up a napkin and wiped his mouth. He looked at Su Rui with a half-smile: "Oh, are you so confident that you can leave your money bag to me for safekeeping?"
Su Rui patted his chest and said, "Of course, don't worry, Mr. De, I will keep my word. From tomorrow on, as long as it is the territory we control, you will be the one to decide the internal affairs. I guarantee that no one will dare to say anything."
"What about me? Zhongxin, you can't favor one over the other. Now that the war in Fujian is over, what are you going to do with me?" After hearing the arrangements for Li Zongren, Bai Chongxi next to him also asked.
Su Rui looked at Bai Chongxi and smiled, "Brother Jiansheng, how dare I forget you, little Zhuge, don't worry. From tomorrow on, the position of chief of staff of the fourth theater will be yours."
"Oh..." Everyone couldn't help being stunned when they heard this, and turned their attention to Liang Zhi. Everyone knew that the original chief of staff of the fourth theater was Liang Zhi. Moreover, he had done a great job in the past few years, and Bai Chongxi became a
Can he bear it if his seat is taken away?
Bai Chongxi was also stunned, shook his head and said: "That's not okay. I grabbed Ziran's seat as soon as I came here. What will Ziran do? If this matter gets out, others will not say that I am not kind enough to grab Ziran's seat as soon as I come here.
This is not my style, Bai Chongxi!"
"Haha..." Su Rui smiled, "Brother Jiansheng, don't worry. I have already discussed this matter with Ziran in advance. Ziran is very supportive of this matter. After you became the chief of staff, he abdicated and made way for others.
Deputy chief of staff of the fourth theater and commander of the newly established 43rd Army."
"Forty-third Army?"
Everyone was stunned for a moment. As we all know, the Chinese Army currently has only forty-two armies. How come there is a forty-third army? But everyone quickly came to their senses. This army is the new one of Su Rui.
The preparation was made.
Xu Zuyi looked at the two officers, Li and Bai, and found that they were just eating the food on their plates, as if they didn't hear what Su Rui said just now. He couldn't help but said with some worry: "Sir, Su,
It’s okay for us to form new troops privately, but if we add them to a group army in such an open and honest manner, I’m afraid the reaction in Chongqing will be huge.”
"A group army?" Su Rui smiled. He shook his head and stretched out two words and said lightly: "Brother Yanmou, you are wrong. This time I want to form nine new armies and three new group armies."
"Three...three group armies?" Xu Zuyi was almost frightened. What is the concept of three group armies? According to the conventional practice of a group army with three armies, a group army has about 230,000 to 40,000 people. Three
The group army has about 700,000 people. If these three group armies are completed, plus the original seventh group army, the strength of the fourth theater will exceed one million. With such strength, they can definitely
It is on an equal footing with the Chongqing government.
Liao Lei, who was sitting opposite Su Rui, was also startled. He stared at Su Rui blankly for a while. After a few minutes, he quietly asked Liang Zhi beside him: "Brother Ziran, what did your commander Su say?"
is that true?"
Liang Zhi, who always couldn't tell the difference between joy, anger, sorrow, and joy, still had no expression on his face. He stretched out his chopsticks to pick up some fermented bean curd, put it into his bowl and tasted it, and then nodded slowly.
"Hiss..." Liao Lei took a breath and murmured: "Could it be that the game is too big? There are more than one million troops. Can we support our four provinces alone?"
There was silence in the small restaurant. Su Rui looked around at everyone's faces, and finally said: "Gong De, Brother Jiansheng, I have already been angry with you about this matter before, and I can make it clear to you now."
, you don’t have to worry about feeding these more than one million troops, I can guarantee you that there will never be a shortage of guns and ammunition. The only thing we have to consider is how to develop while resisting the Japanese.
.
As the saying goes, it takes ten years to grow trees and a hundred years to cultivate men. Now our army has reached a bottleneck stage. The result of massive military expansion is the lack of a large number of low-level officers, especially captain-level officers. For example, I earned more than a year.
A navy was secretly formed, but due to the lack of naval officers, the pace of expanding the navy had to be delayed repeatedly. As a result, there were only warships but no pilots. This has to be said to be a kind of irony. There are also air force, artillery and various
There is even a lack of technical arms."
"What...Mr. Su, you also formed your own navy? How is this possible?"
Xu Zuyi and Liao Lei stared at Su Rui, their eyes full of shock. This Chief Su was so speechless that he couldn't stop talking. One more shocking thing came out of his mouth, almost scaring people to death.
. Now even the navy has come out. Is it so easy to build a navy? Even any officer knows that building a navy is the most time-consuming, money- and energy-consuming thing. How could he, and how dare he, do this?
Huge amounts of money are invested in this bottomless pit.
Seeing the shocked eyes of these people, Su Rui felt helpless but also a little proud. I am probably the only one who can afford the navy in China these days.
Li Zongren's heart moved slightly and asked: "Zhongxin, I remember that last year I handed over a group of naval officers who retreated from Qingdao to you. I wonder how they are doing now?"
Su Rui smiled slightly: "Don't worry, Mr. De, but will I still treat them badly? I have made Cheng Sheng, the leader, the temporary commander-in-chief of the navy of the fourth theater. And I got six light ships some time ago.
Cruisers, three heavy cruisers and several destroyers have formed a fleet. I plan to wait for a while and then get two aircraft carriers. I plan to use two to three years to form a navy that can go abroad. By then we can also
Launched an attack on Japanese sea lanes."
Li Zongren and Bai Chongxi looked at each other and couldn't help but feel a little shocked. They didn't expect that this little fellow of theirs would build such a fleet quietly. It seemed that his strength was well hidden.
Bai Chongxi said tentatively: "Zhongxin, the last time I was in Fujian, I heard that you disabled the naval task force sent by the Japanese army to support the 2nd and 3rd Division. At that time, you used more than just airplanes.
It should also be due to the navy, right?"
"Haha... I knew this matter really couldn't be hidden from Brother Jiansheng's eyes." Su Rui chuckled. Now that we have become a family, he no longer hides anything. As for Xu Zuyi and Liao Lei, since
Being able to be brought to his home by Li Bai and others in a grand manner proves that there is no problem with the loyalty of these two people, so he nodded generously: "Yes, there are not only sea navigation divisions here, but also new ones."
for the formation of the submarine force.”
After Su Rui briefly introduced the submarine force to everyone, everyone's expressions changed a little when they looked at Su Rui. How many secrets does this dude from a playboy family have? From the beginning of the Battle of Nanjing to the present, in a short time
It’s okay to organize and train a million-strong army in less than four years. Now we have even built a navy and submarines. This is an incredible pace!
Even with Li Zongren's composure that he had honed over decades of military service, he couldn't help but smile bitterly and said: "Zhongxin, how many things do you still have that we don't know about you? Tell us now."
"No more, really no more." Su Rui shook her head like a rattle, "I have told you all my family background, Mr. De, you don't even want to know how your sister-in-law and I met.
Can I explain it to you?"
"You...you...you..."
Li Zongren pointed at Su Rui and smiled helplessly. The rest of the people also laughed. In fact, everyone present was heartbroken. Did Su Rui really tell everything? The result was absolutely negative.
For example, the issue of the source of so many weapons for the troops under Suri's name, the issue of the incoming warships, and the rumored most mysterious logistics department in the fourth theater, what secrets the Military Intelligence Agency has, etc. But everyone knows that this is probably Suri.
The bottom line is the bottom line, if anyone touches it, they will fall out with him, so everyone pretends to ignore this matter, and it just passes. (To be continued, please search Piaotian Literature, the novel is better and updated.
