After listening to Jin Shan's report, Jiang Cheng nodded and said, "Just keep this matter to yourself and don't tell anyone about it. Do you understand?"
Jinshan also knew that this letter to ****** must contain extremely important content, so he nodded to express his understanding.
At this time Bashun came in and said, "My boss, Mr. Yu is back."
Seeing Yu Qiaqing who was obviously much older, Jiang Cheng asked worriedly, "Mr. Yu, you have to take care of yourself."
Yu Qiaqing smiled and waved his hand and said, "I have heard that you have done a good job. You have saved so many people and have accumulated great virtue."
Jiang Cheng sighed and said, "It's a pity that we can't rescue everyone in Nanjing City. It has become a hell now."
Yu Qiaqing also sighed, and the scene became cold. Jiang Cheng said, "How are Mr. Du and Boss Huang doing now?"
Yu Qiaqing said, "They are all fine. Don't worry. Mr. Du is secretly controlling Shanghai. Shanghai is in chaos right now. The Communist forces are undergoing a major reshuffle. I heard that some people want to jump out."
Jiang Cheng smiled nonchalantly and said, "They're just clowns. Sooner or later, we'll deal with them. By the way, is there no news about Zhang Xiaolin yet?"
Yu Qiaqing squinted his eyes and shook his head and said, "This man is hiding very well. None of us have heard about him, but Mr. Du once hinted to me not to worry, saying that he would avenge us. By the way, Jiang Cheng
, what are you going to do next?”
Jiang Cheng looked at the ceiling and said, "Although I bought a lot of German weapons, the Battle of Songhu is basically as I expected. It seems that our situation will not be good in the past two years, but Wuhan will be relatively safe in the past six months. Yishan is here
You can also get better medical treatment here, and I will look for doctors in Germany and the United States."
Yu Qiaqing stroked his beard and said, "You need to pay more attention to Yan'an. Gu Quan, do you know Wang Ming?"
When Jiang Cheng heard the name, he looked at Yu Qiaqing and asked, "What's wrong with him?"
Yu Qiaqing pointedly said, "He came to Wuhan, and his actions are not small. Xinhua News Agency is now known to the whole country. His articles continue to advocate the united front and demand that the united front be the highest directive in all matters. People who don't know are still aware of it."
I thought he was Jiang Jiajun’s advocate, but now Jiang Jiejia attaches great importance to him, and the two of them complement each other.”
When Jiang Cheng heard this, he immediately made a calculation in his mind. Wang Ming has no military power now, so there won't be any big trouble. But it is troublesome for the Red Party to have his tongue completely controlled by him. It seems that he is going to Yan'an.
Trip.
Jiang Cheng planned to go back to modern times and transfer to Yan'an after meeting with Chiang's intermediary.
When Jiang Cheng heard that Jiang Cheng had come to Wuhan, he was conflicted. The soldiers rescued by Jiang Cheng reported intelligence that Jiang Cheng had built eighty percent of the pontoon bridge. Now three such pontoon bridges could be built under the noses of Tang Shengzhi and the Japanese army.
Will he dig a tunnel under his house in the future? When Jiang Cheng thought of this, he felt horrified. He also thought of what Chen Brai said and laughed in his heart that he was making a fuss out of a molehill. Then he asked the guards to let Jiang Cheng in.
When Jiang Cheng came in, he saluted Agent Jiang and said, "Hello, please take a seat."
Agent Jiang waved with a smile and said, "Come, come, sit here, there is nothing good in winter, here are the sand pears that were just delivered, you can try them."
Jiang Cheng was immediately flattered. He quickly sat down and took the seat and said, "Commission, did I do something wrong again?"
Agent Jiang shook his head and said, "You did a good job. When was the pontoon bridge in Nanjing built? Thanks to you, tens of thousands of elites and ordinary people can be preserved."
Jiang Cheng saw that Jiang Jiajiang didn't have an extremely angry expression when he mentioned Nanjing, so he knew that he didn't know about the Nanjing Massacre. And Jiang Cheng had no evidence now, so he didn't say anything about it. Instead, he said, "The floating bridge city
It was built by Brigadier Zhu and others of the 87th Division overnight. It is a pity that Brigadier Zhu, because he built the pontoon bridge and did not want to be misunderstood by others as greedy for life and fear of death, actually fought to the death and refused to retreat even though he led people to rescue despite his humble position."
Only then did Jiang realize that Zhu Chi, who had a relationship with Jiang Cheng, helped Jiang Cheng. When he heard that Zhu Chi refused to retreat, he sighed and said, "Zhu Chi is my good student, Gu Quan, this time
I still want to apologize for what happened. If I hadn't listened to you, maybe Nanjing wouldn't be like this. If you have anything to do in the future, just tell me. I have a bad temper, so don't take it to heart."
When Jiang Cheng heard this, he felt chills running down his back. As the saying goes, if something goes wrong, there will always be a monster. Jiang Cheng looked at Agent Jiang in front of him and felt that he didn't know whether he was right or wrong this time.
Agent Jiang continued, "What do you think of the war ahead?"
Jiang Cheng calmed down and said, "After the Japanese army captures Nanjing, they will definitely think that our troops have no fighting spirit. I think we can use the Japanese army's arrogance to win the battle, and we must be prepared for international changes."
Agent Jiang said excitedly, "Did you get any news?"
Jiang Cheng shook his head with a wry smile and said, "With the rise of Germany, Europe has no time to take care of itself. The United States is now making a lot of money because of the war between China and Japan. Who will come to rescue us? The only one we can rely on now is the Soviet Union. In addition, sooner or later, Europe and the United States will
We will set our sights on Asia. By then the sea route will be impassable. Please make plans for northern Myanmar in advance."
Jiang's agent is actually not sensitive to international affairs, and he is not familiar with economic theory. Therefore, when he heard that the United States made a lot of money because of the Sino-Japanese war, he couldn't help but wonder, "Why does the United States make money?"
Jiang Cheng thought it was an opportunity, so he said in detail, "Committee, since the world economic crisis in 1931, the economies of Europe and the United States have been weak. Although the United States has recovered under Roosevelt's New Deal, the effectiveness of the New Deal has gradually diminished in the past two years. This year
The unemployment rate in the United States is as high as 16%, and Japan actually has few resources. In this year's war, Japan's military expenditures have been rising steadily, and a large part of them is in weapons manufacturing, which requires steel, tanks and
Warships and aircraft all need oil. Japan’s steel production capacity is insufficient, and there is no oil and rubber. It can only vigorously purchase American steel and chemical raw materials. The American economy is now improving due to this stimulus. It can be said that our war is superficially
We are fighting against two countries, Japan, but behind the scenes, we are actually facing Japan and the United States, and the United States is using this war as a source of motivation for economic revitalization."
This was the first time that Agent Jiang heard these things, and he couldn't help but said, "Do you really think we can't win this war?"
Jiang Cheng just wanted to tell Agent Jiang that foreigners were unreliable, but he didn't want Agent Jiang to give up resistance. He quickly said, "That's not true. The United States' support for Japan will become a conflict between them. After all, no one wants to be someone else's."
Puppet, so it is only a matter of time before the United States and Japan fall out, so don’t worry about it.”
Agent Jiang nodded and said, "Well, I understand, Gu Quan, you need to report any international trends in the future. If there is something like the Nanjing Floating Bridge in the future, you can tell me in advance. As long as it is beneficial,
I will definitely support the party-state."
When Jiang Cheng left Agent Jiang's office, he took a long breath and was about to leave. Chen Bui came over and said, "What's wrong with Colonel Jiang?"
Jiang Cheng hurriedly said, "The authority of the committee is getting stronger day by day, and I'm sweating like rain."
Chen Brai shook his head and said, "It seems that this place is indeed a big dyeing vat. Even Colonel Jiang can talk like this. Colonel Jiang, Boss Dai is a little dissatisfied with you. You should pay more attention to things in the future."
When Jiang Cheng saw that Chen Brai was treating him well, he quickly replied, "Thank you, Mr. Chen, for your advice. Jiang Cheng will keep it in mind."
Chen Brai nodded as he watched Jiang Cheng leave, walked into Jiang's agency office and said, "Commissioner, the Japanese envoy is here. Do you want to meet him?"
Agent Jiang snorted coldly and said, "What are you here for? Aren't you just trying to persuade him to surrender? I, Jiang, can do Qin Hui's job? I don't see you!"
Seeing Jiang Jiajun's attitude, Chen Brai also understood that the loss of Nanjing was what Jiang Jiayi had expected. Jiang Jiayi was quite optimistic about the future war, so he was not willing to give in to the Japanese like this, so he withdrew.
.
Jiang Jie suddenly said, "Make an appointment with the Soviet ambassador again and say that I want to request military assistance from the Soviet Union again."
The Battle of Songhu exhausted Chiang Kai-shek's German weapon divisions, and Hitler also made it clear that he would not provide additional weapons assistance. The last batch of weapons is still at sea. Chiang Kai-shek must also find new sources of weapons, and at this time
, the Soviet Union became the only option.
Jiang Cheng returned to Yu Qiaqing's place, gave a few instructions, looked at Yu Yishan again, and then returned to modern times, preparing to go to Yan'an. At this time, a middle-aged man came to Wuhan.
As soon as the middle-aged man got off the train, he was surrounded by a group of people. Wang Ming said to the middle-aged man, "Welcome, Comrade Ye Ting."
Ye Ting, who has just turned 40 this year, has been in the army since he was a child. As early as 1920, he defeated four times the enemy in one fell swoop and became famous throughout the world. Later, during the Northern Expedition, he became known as the Iron Army. After the failure of the Guangzhou Uprising in 1928, Ye Ting received a notice.
He was asked to go to the Soviet Union. Due to the groundless accusations he received from Li Lisan and Wang Ming, he decided to quit the Red Party and join the "Third Party" organized by the White Party comrades Deng Yanda, Chen Youren and Soong Qingling.
Afterwards, although the Guangzhou Uprising was affirmed at the Sixth Red Party Congress, he was not vindicated. Ye Ting also lost confidence in the Red Party Geming. He lived in Germany and made a living as a translator.
Fortunately, Zhou Guansheng found him and had a long talk with him, which rekindled the flame of fighting in him. After September 18th, he studied the situation in China day and night, and finally decided to return to China to join the war after the July 7th Incident.
At this time, the New Fourth Army was in the final stage of its establishment. Both the red and white parties wanted to get this force. Finally, Zhou Guansheng proposed Ye Ting. Jiang intermediary believed that Ye Ting was his old subordinate and had withdrawn from the Red Party, so he was an acceptable candidate. Zhou Guansheng also
He was very confident in Ye Ting's will, so he was elected as the commander of the New Fourth Army. After Ye Ting returned to China, he immediately went to Yan'an and said that he would follow the instructions of the Party Central Committee and Chairman Mao and do a good job in the work of white face and red heart.
Only then did he come to Wuhan to take up a job.
After Wang Ming came to Wuhan, although he had some power, he always felt that he lacked confidence when facing Yan'an. This made Wang Ming, who regarded himself as the incarnation of the Red Party International in China, feel uncomfortable. Finally he realized that it was because
No army listened to his words, so Wang Ming immediately looked at the New Fourth Army beside him, then pinched his nose to greet Ye Ting.
Ye Ting looked at Wang Ming, and recalled in his mind the time when he was criticized and accused by Wang Ming. Ye Ting tilted his head and said, "Sorry, although the Kuomintang Revolutionary Committee has been disbanded, I am no longer a member of the Red Party. Please let me know."
Let." After saying that, he walked directly past Wang Ming.
Seeing Ye Ting's attitude, Wang Ming said angrily, "What kind of attitude is this? I think Ye Ting doesn't want to come back at all. I will write an article to criticize him immediately!"
In the past half year or so, Qin Bangxian had actually understood that Wang Ming's approach was not working. It was only because of his long-term cooperation and friendship with Wang Ming that he continued to help him. He quickly said, "Ye Ting has indeed not joined our red team now."
Party, his current status is the general of the National Army, if we take any action, it may not be appropriate."
Wang Ming immediately replied, "He just went to Yan'an and expressed his stance to Mao Yongzhi. Hum, I see, he only has Mao Yongzhi in his heart. In Wuhan, I am the top person in charge of the Red Party! There is no distinction between top and bottom.
How decent?"
Qin Bangxian continued, "But on the surface, it's okay for Ye Ting to ignore us. He can use the excuse that he wants to maintain the united front and is inconvenient to get too close to our party."
After hearing this, Wang Ming took a deep breath, looked at Ye Ting's back resentfully, and secretly said in his heart, "The tide is turning, Ye Ting, just wait for me!!"
Wang Ming closed his eyes and said, "Let's go and find Comrade Xiang Ying. I think Ye Ting is not of the same mind as us. We should get vaccinated early."
Agent Jiang was originally worried about Ye Ting going to Yan'an and then Wuhan after returning to China, but after learning about the turmoil at the train station, he immediately felt relieved and became more and more satisfied with Wang Ming. He couldn't help but think that if someone in the Red Party
If there are a few more Wang Mings, then I will no longer have to worry about the Red Party.
He Yingqin asked, "Commissioner, should the equipment problem of the New Fourth Army be solved? According to what standards?"
Agent Jiang thought for a while and said, "I will distribute it according to the standards of a German mechanic. In addition, I will give Ye Ting a special grant of 20,000 yuan. Just say it was given by me. I hope he will serve the country wholeheartedly and not be deceived by others."
He Yingqin said with a smile, "I am so gentle in my appointment. I hope this Ye Ting can understand whose world is now."
Agent Jiang waved his hand and said, "That's all, let's not talk about this anymore. Let's talk about Shandong."
After Ye Ting met with Xiang Ying and others, he learned that the equipment had been distributed, so he took everyone to the warehouse. Ye Ting was surprised to find that the equipment of the New Fourth Army in front of him was the same as that of the White Army's Central Army. They were all German-style weapons.
There were very few combat artillery pieces in the Central Army. Ye Ting smiled and said to Xiang Ying, "Great, with these, our battle will be easier to fight."
But I saw Xiang Ying saying with a straight face, "Commander Ye, have we finished our next mission?"
Ye Ting felt strange when he saw Xiang Ying like this, so he didn't care, and said, "Well, let's go to Nanchang first. Firstly, we will get familiar with the weapons. Secondly, we have been fighting guerrillas for so long. It is very difficult, so we also take the opportunity to rest."
"
Xiang Ying nodded, turned around and said to several officers, "Okay, the Red Party Committee has come in for a meeting. Commander Ye, I'm sorry, you are not a member of our party now, so I have to ask you to wait outside." As he said,
Ying then led everyone into the room for a meeting.
Ye Ting watched dumbly as his four detachment leaders and department heads left, not knowing what to do. Lin Zhifu, the enemy minister who was introduced to the New Fourth Army by Ye Ting, said worriedly, "Military seat, why does it feel wrong?"
Ye Ting forced a smile and said, "That's how the Red Party is. The party often holds meetings. Okay, if nothing happens, let's just leave." After saying that, he left the warehouse with a livid face.
The New Fourth Army arrived in Nanchang and soon began the final reorganization work. Due to Jiang Cheng's reminder, the New Fourth Army at this time was much larger than in history, with more than 13,000 people divided into four detachments. Ye Ting was full of confidence.
It was decided to repeat the reputation of the Iron Army of the Fourth Army on the anti-Japanese battlefield.
