The tea cup in Chairman Chiang's hand fell to the ground and broke into several pieces. A few drops of hot tea splashed onto Chairman Chiang's calves, but Chairman Chiang was completely unaware of this because he
His mind was completely shocked by the news that the captain of the bodyguard, Wang Shihe, had just brought. The 799th Regiment of the Sichuan Army actually recovered Jiujiang?!
It wasn't until Wang Shihe stepped forward to pick up the broken tea cup and porcelain pieces that Chairman Chiang woke up from a dream.
But Chairman Jiang still couldn't believe it, and then asked: "Shihe, what did you just say?"
Wang Shihe raised his head and said respectfully: "Commissioner, the 799th Regiment of the 133rd Division of the Sichuan Army has just issued a clear power transmission, claiming that they have liberated Jiujiang, and the acting commander of the 799th Regiment, Zhao Baishi, has even issued a power transmission to the whole country.
, threatening that the more than 1,600 officers and soldiers of their 799th Regiment will fight to the death to coexist with Jiujiang!"
At this time, Chairman Chiang was finally convinced that he had heard correctly.
"Niang Xipi!" Chairman Chiang suddenly stood up and said repeatedly, "Niang Xipi, Niang Xipi!"
After scolding Niang Xipi three times in a row, Chairman Chiang finally controlled the turbulent emotions in his chest.
As a political figure, Chairman Chiang has long cultivated a profound self-cultivation. He can remain calm even when Mount Tai collapses before his eyes. Otherwise, how could Chairman Chiang have gone through a series of political transformations such as division and disintegration?
With his skill, he successively defeated many competitors such as Wang Jingwei, Feng Yuxiang, and Li Zongren, and became the leader?
But at this moment, Chairman Chiang could not help but look a little happy.
Nothing else, it was because the news of Jiujiang's recovery shocked him so much, or rather surprised him!
Seeing that the four major corps in the May 9th War Zone were retreating steadily, seeing that the defeat of the Wuhan Battle was determined, Chairman Chiang was even considering the schedule to evacuate Wuhan. But at this moment, the front line suddenly came from Jiujiang
News of recovery, what is this like? It is like a traveler who is dying of thirst in the desert and suddenly sees an oasis!
After scolding Niang Xipi three times in a row, Chairman Chiang quickly calmed down. After calming down, his mind began to make rapid calculations. Needless to say, Chairman Chiang was able to fight his way out of so many warlords in modern China.
, completing the unification of China in form must have its own merits.
Chairman Chiang’s greatest advantage is that he is very good at assessing situations!
Chairman Chiang knows that he cannot be too happy now. He must first ensure that Jiujiang can be defended!
And if you want to defend Jiujiang, you must have the 799th Regiment to work hard, you must have Zhao Baishi to work hard!
Chairman Chiang has never believed in faith, but only believes that only brave men can be rewarded with heavy rewards. He must give Zhao Baishi a higher salary for high-ranking officials!
After pacing back and forth for a few steps, Chairman Jiang stopped and said to Wang Shihe: "Shihe, call the Ministry of Military Affairs immediately and ask He Yingqin to issue a promotion order immediately, promoting Zhao Baishi, acting commander of the 799th Regiment, to Army Major, and then appoint him to Army Major.
Colonel, in addition, I will reward you with a legal currency of 5,000 yuan in my own name! No, a reward of 10,000 yuan!"
The military rank system of the National Army is rather strange, divided into job ranks and military service ranks.
Positional military ranks are promoted along with the position. The regiment commander is a colonel, the division commander is a lieutenant general, and the army commander must be a general. However, the positional military ranks are just positions and do not enjoy benefits. The benefits follow the military service ranks. The military service ranks are divided into land, sea and air.
Each military branch and each rank has strict numerical limits.
For example, how many generals, how many lieutenant generals, and how many major generals? As long as there are no vacancies in the upper-level military ranks, no matter how many military achievements they have, they cannot be promoted. Therefore, there is a disconnect between job ranks and military ranks.
Phenomenon, many generals of the National Army are already commanders, but their military rank is still only Army Major General.
For example, Zhang Lingfu was already the general of the 74th Army when the Anti-Japanese War was victorious, but his military rank was still only an army major general. Therefore, it is very rare for Zhao Baishi to be directly promoted to an army major! This is simply a step from a grassroots officer to the army.
Once you reach the ranks of senior officers, you can join some kind of training group in the future, and then you can become a division commander after being released.
This is another advantage of Chairman Chiang. For those who are truly capable, he will never hesitate to reward and use them! Of course, there is a prerequisite for this, that is, you must be loyal.
Even Wang Shihe was a little jealous of Zhao Baishi's promotion.
Wang Shihe whispered: "Commissioned, would it be too much to upgrade to five levels in a row?"
Chairman Chiang said: "It is true that there has never been a precedent of being promoted to five levels in a row in the army, but in terms of the significance of Jiujiang's recovery, being promoted to five levels in a row is not an exaggeration. Tell him, tell him that it was me who said it, and let him
Do as you are told! Then, let all the senior staff members of the General Staff come to the camp for a meeting to discuss counterattack matters."
"Yes!" Wang Shihe put his feet back, stood at attention, and saluted again.

Yan'an.
There is a jujube tree in the yard in front of Mr. Zhu’s cave. It grows lush and green. It is September in the golden autumn. The jujube tree is full of big winter jujubes the size of pigeon eggs. Although it has not yet reached the ripe season, there are still many jujubes.
There are red spots on the skin of the dates, which means that the dates are basically mature.
Before going out, Mr. Zhu asked the security guard to beat a lot of dates and fill two trouser pockets. Then, Mr. Zhu carried the big winter dates in these two trouser pockets and came to the front of the cave.
Across the courtyard gate, Mr. Zhu could see him squinting his eyes and sitting on a stone roller with his legs crossed, smoking.
Since they met in Jinggangshan in 2028, the two have been working together for ten years, so Mr. Zhu is already well aware of some of his habits. When he knew that he was thinking about a problem, Mr. Zhu did not disturb him, and even refused to let the guard remind him,
Instead, he quietly walked into the courtyard and sat next to her.
It wasn't until I finished smoking a cigarette and the cigarette butt burned my fingers that I suddenly woke up.
"Boss, you are here. I was thinking about the problem just now. Don't blame me, boss." After apologizing, he asked the guard to pour cold water for Mr. Zhu. Mr. Zhu took out all the big winter dates in his trouser pocket.
You're welcome, I wiped it with my sleeve and ate it with relish.
Boss Zhu said: "Old Mao, this little guy Xu Rui has made a lot of noise again, do you know?"
"I was thinking about this just now." He nodded and said, "To be honest, Xu Rui helped the 799th Regiment of the Sichuan Army take Jiujiang by surprise. It was indeed a good move. It was to give the little devils a center to bloom.
Well, if Xue Yue and Jiangbei Fifth War Zone can cooperate well, it is not impossible to turn defeat into victory in the Wuhan battle."
Mr. Zhu nodded and said: "I also think that the National Army has great hope this time."
"That's not necessarily true." He waved his hand and said, "The current situation is indeed good, but the National Army also has a big hidden worry. If this hidden worry is discovered and amplified by the Japanese army, not only will the center envisioned by Xu Rui blossom,
The grand strategy of encirclement on all sides will fail, and the Japanese army in central China may get a blessing in disguise."
"Really?" Mr. Zhu said, "Tell me, what are the hidden worries?"
He took out a badly damaged map from his pocket, spread it out on the stone roller table, and then began to explain the map. As he explained, Mr. Zhu's face gradually became solemn. In the end, Zhu
The boss's face was almost clouded.

Almost at the same time, Wusong was off the coast.
The newly-appointed commander of the Central China Condemn Force, Nishio Hisao, and the new commander of the Eleventh Army, Seishiro Sakagaki, are sailing slowly toward Shanghai on the Navy aircraft carrier Kaga.
Before setting off from Osaka Port, Nishio Hisao and Sakagaki Shiro began to imagine the possible scenarios after taking office. However, even to the limit of their imagination, they never imagined that before they arrived in China and officially took office, the Battle of Wuhan would happen.
There was an earth-shattering reversal in the situation! It was a big reversal!
Last night, both Nishio Juzo and Sakagaki Seishiro were a little sleepy because of talking all night.
Just as the two of them were taking a nap, a rush of footsteps suddenly entered the cabin.
Seishiro Sakagaki, who was a few years younger and relatively energetic, was the first to be awakened. When he opened his eyes, he saw that a major staff officer from the Navy had already walked in hastily.
"Your Excellency, General!" the Navy Major nodded heavily and reported, "Urgent telegram from Nanjing!"
Seishiro Sakagaki took the telegram, waved his hand again, and the Marine Major turned around and retreated.
Just as Sakagaki Seishiro was reading the telegram, Nishio Juzo was also awakened. He stood up and asked, "Sakagaki-san, who was it just now?"
Just as Nishio Juzo finished speaking, Sakagaki Seishiro suddenly shouted and sat up from his bunk. Then he forgot that he was in the cabin of a warship. The cabin of a warship is very cramped because of its narrow space.
As soon as Sakagaki Seishiro stood up, his head hit the upper bunk hard, and his vision immediately went black and he fainted.
Nishio Juzo was startled by Sakagaki Seishiro's actions and said anxiously: "Sakagaki-san?!"
"Hai, I'm fine, I'm fine." Seishiro Sakagaki waved his hand and continued, "General, something big has happened. Jiujiang has been lost!"
"Nani, Jiujiang has been lost?!" Nishio Shouzou was also surprised.
"Hai." Sakagaki Seishiro paused heavily before handing over the telegram.
Nishio Juzo took the telegram and hurriedly read it, and the expression on his face immediately changed.
Seishiro Sakagaki rubbed his still aching forehead and said to Nishio Hiszo: "Your Excellency, General, I originally wanted to accompany you to Nanjing to take up your post, but now it seems that I have to take the first step. I am planning to do this."
Just take a long-range bomber of the Naval Air Force and parachute directly to Anqing."
Hiszo Nishio could understand Seishiro Sakagaki's eagerness. If we could go back ten years, even he would have wanted to take a long-range bomber of the Naval Air Force to fly directly to Nanjing and then land by air. But after all, he was almost sixty years old and his health was not as good as
In the past, I can only think about it. He really didn't have the courage to let him skydive.
At that moment, Nishio Juzo said, "Sakagaki-san, isn't this too dangerous?"
Sakagaki Seishiro said: "At this point, I can't worry about that much anymore."
Seishiro Sakagaki really couldn't care about so much anymore. He had to fly to Anqing as soon as possible and take over the command of the Eleventh Army as soon as possible. Otherwise, by the time he slowly arrived in Jiujiang, the situation in the Wuhan Battle might have been completely reversed.
At that time, even if he killed Xu Rui, His Majesty the Emperor would never spare him.
