From hearing the sound of Dai Xing's car engine to when Dai Li hurriedly walked into Chairman Chiang's study, it only took a few minutes. But even in these few minutes, Chairman Chiang was already a little impatient with the waiting. Chairman Chiang was now waiting
His mood was completely confused, because the news reported by Wang Shihe just now was so shocking.
The Gujun Battalion actually wiped out the famous Gurkha Royal Infantry Battalion. This is surprising enough. You must know that the Gujun Battalion is only a defeated army, and it has been detained in the public concession for nearly two years and lacks weapons and equipment.
Not to mention, the morale must have been extremely low, and the Royal Gurkha Infantry Battalion that faced them was the elite of the British Army. However, the final result was that the Royal Gurkha Infantry Battalion was completely wiped out.
Logically speaking, Chairman Chiang should be happy.
No matter what, the Lone Army Camp is Jiang's army, isn't it?
But Chairman Chiang was not happy at all. Instead, he felt a chill that penetrated his bones!
The Lone Army Battalion actually wiped out the entire Gurkha Royal Infantry Battalion and captured Brigadier General Ferguson, the top commander of the British army in Shanghai. What is it doing? Is it trying to force the British Empire to go into full-scale war with China? It's just Japan,
China has been almost wiped out. If the British Empire is added to the equation, will it still allow people to live?
At this moment, Chairman Jiang only felt waves of blackness in front of his eyes, and a faint salty smell in his throat, but he suppressed it.
It was only a few minutes, but to Chairman Chiang, it felt like centuries had passed.
Finally, Dai Li ran into the study panting, and Chairman Jiang immediately asked urgently: "Yunong, tell me, what is going on? Didn't Gujunying already agree to disarm, why did this suddenly happen again?
?”
At this moment, Chairman Chiang has ten thousand question marks in his mind, but what he wants to know most is this.
Although everything had been agreed upon, Song Ziwen called back and said that the Lone Army Camp had agreed to disarm. Why did the situation suddenly take a turn for the worse overnight? While Chairman Jiang was confused, he felt extremely humiliated. He had been tricked.
!He was actually tricked by a group of big-headed soldiers from the Lone Army Camp, which made him extremely angry!
A group of big-headed soldiers actually dared to play tricks on him, their leader? This was a rebellion, wasn't it?
Dai Li wiped the sweat from his forehead. From the entrance of the official residence to the study room, Dai Li was sweating profusely. Only a small part of it was from fatigue, but the majority was from cold sweat caused by fright.
Dai Li was able to become the director of the Military Command Bureau, and his psychological quality was extremely good. He could be used as a quilt if the sky fell. But just a quarter of an hour ago, when he had just received an urgent telegram from Shanghai from Shanghai, the director of the Military Command Shanghai District, Wang Tianmu,
But it really scared the shit out of him. Dai Li has never been so shocked since he joined the Fuxing Society.
The trap that the Gujun camp has dug out this time is so big that our innocence is about to collapse!
However, by the time he arrived at Chairman Chiang's official residence, Dai Li had calmed down and his thinking had returned to clarity.
"Commissioner, this is what happened." Dai Li wiped the cold sweat from his forehead and said, "According to Wang Tianmu's report, Gujunying seems to have known that Minister Song's negotiations with the British were just superficial, but they did not take it seriously.
This matter was exposed, but he took advantage of the opportunity when the British army relaxed their vigilance and carried out a sudden assassination."
After a pause, Dai Li continued: "The British army, to be precise, is the Gurkha Royal Infantry Battalion. This battalion's combat effectiveness is still very strong, but because Minister Song's negotiations were successful, because the Gujun Battalion has agreed
After disarming, the Royal Gurkha Infantry Battalion became slack and the lone battalion was caught off guard.”
After Chairman Jiang heard this, he felt very bad and could not recover for a long time.
Just now, Chairman Jiang was just guessing, but now, Dai Li told him personally that he had indeed been tricked by the Gujun camp, and the trick was pretty cruel!
Suddenly, Chairman Chiang's face turned red.
Wang Shihe noticed the strange look on Chairman Jiang's expression and asked with concern: "Commissioner, are you okay..."
Before the last word came out, Chairman Chiang suddenly bent over and coughed violently. While coughing, he took out a handkerchief and covered his mouth. Wang Shihe rushed over and patted Chairman Chiang on the back, but Chairman Chiang
He waved his hand with his free left hand to indicate that nothing was wrong, then stopped coughing and put the handkerchief away again.
Dai Li had sharp eyes, and even though he only had a glimpse, he still saw a bright red color on the handkerchief hidden by Chairman Chiang. When Dai Li saw this, his heart immediately sank slightly.
Dai Li didn't say anything more about what happened next, and Chairman Chiang didn't want to hear anymore.
Chairman Chiang turned to Wang Shihe and asked, "Shihe, when will Jiansheng and the others arrive?"
Wang Shihe raised his wrist to look at the time and whispered: "General Manager Chen has gone to the Suizao front line for inspection. General Manager He and Vice General Manager Bai will be there soon."
As soon as he finished speaking, the roar of the car engine sounded again outside the official residence.
After a while, He Yingqin and Bai Chongxi filed into the study.
At this time, He Yingqin and Bai Chongxi were still confused. They only knew that Chairman Chiang had something urgent to do with them. However, these two people were both smart people. As soon as they entered the study, they immediately noticed that the atmosphere in the study was a little strange, so they closed the door immediately.
He was tight-lipped, and would never say another word except bowing to Chairman Chiang and shouting "Commission".
Chairman Chiang nodded slightly, motioned for the two of them to sit down, and then tilted his head towards Dai Li.
Dai Li understood and told the story of the lone battalion's complete annihilation of the Gorkha Royal Infantry Battalion.
After listening, He Yingqin and Bai Chongxi's mouths immediately opened wide, big enough to fit a goose egg in! And their faces were full of disbelief! Both of them were shocked, shocked by the powerful combat power of Gujun Camp.
, the Royal Gurkha Infantry Battalion, the elite of the British army, was wiped out at the drop of a hat!
After being shocked, both of them broke into a cold sweat at the same time!
The Imperial Gurkha Infantry Battalion and the British guards at the detention center are not the same thing!
Although they killed more than a dozen British guards when they escaped from prison at Gujun Camp, neither He Yingqin nor Bai Chongxi took it seriously. Although the lives of British people are more valuable than the lives of Chinese people, the British are also absolutely
We will not go to war with China over a dozen guards who are not even front-line soldiers.
But this time the Royal Gurkha Infantry Battalion, which was completely wiped out by the lone battalion, was different.
Although the officers and soldiers of the Royal Gurkha Infantry Battalion are not from the British mainland, and although they are only recruited Gurkha mercenaries, the identity of this unit is really extraordinary. The name of the Royal Gurkha Infantry Battalion was personally given by Queen Victoria of the United Kingdom.
, in the entire British Army, this is the only unit that has received the royal title.
So it is no exaggeration to say that the Gurkha Royal Infantry Battalion is the face of the British royal family.
Now that the Solitary Army Battalion has completely annihilated the Gurkha Royal Infantry Battalion, isn't it just a slap in the face of the British? Even if the UK is not interested in Asian affairs, a weak country like China is slapping such a superpower in the face.
I was slapped in the face, but my uncle couldn't bear it, and my aunt couldn't bear it. It's over, now it's really a big deal.
(Dividing line)
Things are really getting serious!
It is early morning in China time and it is exactly evening in UK time.
When Chairman Chiang and his staff learned the news, a telegram from Shanghai had already traveled across the ocean and reached the desk of British Prime Minister Chamberlain.
After reading the contents of the telegram, Chamberlain's brows immediately tightened.
Yesterday, he had already listened to his secretary's report on the Shanghai incident. However, after hearing this, Chamberlain left the matter in Java. If it were any other time, Chamberlain might have used the prison break at Gujun Camp as an excuse.
It forced the Nationalist Government to give up more interests politically and diplomatically, but now, most of China has fallen. China is like a lamb that has been drained of its milk and flesh, and has no oil left.
What's more, now Chamberlain is only thinking about European affairs and can no longer care about Asian affairs.
Therefore, Chamberlain did not take the matter in Shanghai to heart at all. He just sent a telegram to Steve, the minister in China, to handle it properly and ensure that the face of the British Empire was maintained.
Chamberlain was very confident that there would be no problems with the Shanghai incident.
However, after one night, the Shanghai incident not only did not calm down, but expanded!
Not only Steve, the British Minister to China, but Brigadier General Ferguson, the top officer of the British army in Shanghai, were captured by the solitary battalion, even the Royal Gurkha Infantry Battalion was completely wiped out! The Royal Gurkha Infantry Battalion is the only one in the British Army with a royal title.
troops, they are the face of the British royal family, what do the Chinese want to do?
Do the Chinese want to take back the public settlement, or do they want an all-out war with the British Empire?
Chamberlain has never been a militant, but at this moment, he was also angered by the news coming from the other side of the ocean.
Chamberlain immediately rang the bell to summon his secretary, who asked the secretary to notify various ministers to attend the meeting at No. 10 Downing Street.
At this time, it was actually past the off-duty time, but after receiving a phone call from the Prime Minister's Secretary, the ministers who were about to get off work still picked up their briefcases and hurriedly drove to the Prime Minister's Office at No. 10 Downing Street to participate in the ceremony.
Emergency cabinet meeting convened by the Prime Minister.
At the cabinet meeting, Chamberlain first informed the cabinet members of the news that happened in the Shanghai Public Settlement.
After Chamberlain finished speaking, there was a moment of silence in the conference room. Then, more than a dozen cabinet members present at the meeting exploded and started shouting. The British were very arrogant. How could they face the aggressive Germans?
Forbearance, after all, the Germans have proven themselves in World War I, but what the hell are the Chinese?
A country that the British Empire only needed a few gunboats and a few thousand soldiers to defeat, actually dared to bomb a country? Do you really think that our British Empire has declined? The stupid Chinese must be taught a painful lesson, the ten people who attended the meeting
