After a while, Wang Husheng walked in with two guards.
Seeing Xu Rui, Wang Husheng's face immediately fell, and then he walked over angrily.
Xu Rui smiled and said: "Yeah, Old Wang, who is this person who provokes you without opening his eyes? Are you tired of living?"
Wang Husheng sighed and said, "Old Xu, you have caused a big trouble. Now we are in big trouble."
After hearing this, Tang Kaishan and others consciously walked away, and Leng Tiefeng also chose to avoid it. Although he had joined the Communist Party, he was not very keen on party politics, so he did not want to participate in the conflicts between the Kuomintang and the Communist Party.
Amid this dispute between the parties, he wanted to be a pure soldier.
Xu Rui took out a cigarette, lit it slowly, and said, "What's the trouble?"
Wang Husheng took out a telegram and handed it to Xu Rui and said, "This is the telegram just sent by the military department."
Xu Rui took the telegram and glanced at it, and found that the words of the military chief were not harsh, but the meaning was very clear, asking Xu Rui to immediately release Wan Xiangyun and other detained officers and soldiers of the 32nd Group to prevent the situation from continuing.
Expanded, eventually triggering large-scale friction between the Kuomintang and the Communist Party.
"Release him?" Xu Rui said cheerfully, "No problem. When Chairman Chiang sends over the ransom of 1.2 million oceans, we will release him immediately and return the weapons as well."
After a pause, Xu Rui smiled and said: "Lao Wang, the price is not high, right?"
"Ransom?" Wang Husheng took out another telegram and handed it to Xu Rui and said, "You'd better read this telegram first. It was just sent by the National Army Command to the military headquarters. It is said that it was dictated by Chiang Kai-shek himself.
"
"Really?" Xu Rui took the telegram and glanced at it before his face immediately darkened.
The tone of this telegram from the National Army Headquarters was much harsher and more unpleasant.
The key is that Chairman Chiang had no intention of buying it. Not only did he demand the Dameishan Independent Group to release him immediately and unconditionally, he also poured the dirty water of provoking friction on their military division, and even accused them of taking the initiative to create friction.
, deliberately attacking the 32nd Army while others were unprepared, this is confusing right and wrong!
Xu Rui smiled sinisterly and said in a deep voice: "It seems that our asking price is low."
"Is the offer low?" Wang Husheng said in shock, "Old Xu, are you still determined to give up?"
"Giving up? Why should we give up?" Xu Rui said, "The Feixi Incident was obviously the first friction caused by Wan Xiangyun's 32nd Army. Our Dameishan Military Division only acted in self-defense, but in the end it turned out to be our own self-defense.
No, someone who actively provokes friction becomes an innocent person and becomes a victim. There is no such logic in the world!"
"But we over-defended ourselves." Wang Husheng said, "Old Xu, I really don't know what you are thinking. It's enough for you to defeat the four divisions of the 32nd Group Army, but why did you let the Langya team defeat them?
Wan Xiangyun was also arrested? If you caught such a hot potato and can't kill or fight, aren't you just asking for trouble?"
But to be honest, Wang Husheng still admires Xu Rui in his heart.
With only the guard battalion, cavalry battalion and an armored battalion, they defeated four divisions. This is too fierce!
However, the bad thing is that Xu Rui was too aggressive, which made the matter a big deal and made it impossible for the other party to get off the stage.
After taking a breath, Wang Husheng said again: "What else? You actually arrested more than 20,000 people from the four divisions of the 32nd Army, and you also recruited the veterans of the 32nd Army. You said, you let the old man
Where are the faces of Chiang Kai-shek and the big bosses of the National Army? Can they not become angry and throw dirty water on us?"
"I said Lao Wang, are you still unreasonable?" Xu Rui shouted, "Because the National Army suffered a big loss in the Feixi Incident, it is reasonable to provoke first? Because we won the Feixi Incident,
Legitimate defense has become unreasonable? According to this logic, why should we fight against Japan? We can just surrender to Japan."
Wang Husheng was dumbfounded because he found that what Xu Rui said was very reasonable and he could not refute it.
Xu Rui added: "We are on the right side of this Feixi Incident. Therefore, I will never give in even if I tell the truth. I, the King of Heaven, can't say anything. In short, if Chiang Kai-shek doesn't pay the ransom,
If they are sent here, none of the prisoners of the Thirty-Second Army will be released, and because Chiang Kai-shek has distorted the facts, the price is no longer the same as before."
"Old Xu, what do you mean?" Wang Husheng said in surprise, "Do you still want to increase the price?"
"It has to go up, and it goes up tenfold! This time it's not 1.2 million, but 12 million!" Xu Rui snorted, turned around and shouted, "Xiao Taohong?!"
Xiao Taohong came in and said, "Uncle, I'm here."
Xu Rui said in a deep voice: "Immediately call back the National Army Headquarters with a clear code."
Xiao Taohong hummed, and immediately took out her notebook and pen, getting ready to record.
Xu Rui put his hands behind his back and began to pace in the yard of the field hospital, dictating the message as he walked: "Chairman Chiang Kai-shek Jun Jian: The message you asked the head of our military department to forward has been received. Xu had indeed considered not doing so before.
Zhou Zhi, I would like to ask Chairman Chiang to understand this point. I will follow the spirit of Chairman Chiang’s instructions and make slight changes to the handling plan for the Feixi Incident. The changes include the following three points..."
(Dividing line)
Hengyang, Hunan, Fifth Army Headquarters.
Chairman Chiang was convening Du Yuming, Dai Anlan, Qiu Qingquan, Liao Yaoxiang and other senior generals of the Fifth Army for a lecture. Just in the middle of the conversation, the captain of the guard Wang Shihe suddenly appeared at the door.
Seeing Wang Shihe's solemn expression, Chairman Chiang hastily ended his lecture and sent Dai Anlan and several division commanders away, leaving only the army commander Du Yuming. Then he waved Wang Shihe in, frowned and asked: "Shihe, what's the matter?
?”
Wang Shihe bowed and replied: "Commission, Xu Rui, the leader of Dameishan Independent Regiment, called back with a clear code, and..."
When Du Yuming saw this, he quickly stood up and said respectfully: "I have appointed you, otherwise I have to resign first because I am humbled by my position..."
"Guangting, please sit down." Chairman Jiang waved his hand for Du Yuming to take his seat again, and then said to Wang Shihe, "Guangting is not an outsider, so if you have anything to say, just say it."
Wang Shihe said yes and then said: "And Xu Rui's tone was very tough. Not only did he not agree to release him, but he also proposed three revisions to the plan for handling the Feixi Incident."
"Three points for revision?" Chairman Chiang asked, "What three points?"
Wang Shihe said in a low voice: "First, the National Government and individual committee members need to publicly apologize in newspapers, deeply reflect on the causes and consequences of the Feixi Incident, and promise that similar incidents will not happen again in the future..."
"Presumptuous!" Upon hearing this, Chairman Chiang couldn't bear it anymore and immediately started to protest.
Du Yuming was sitting next to him, dumbfounded as he listened. He thought to himself that Xu Rui was so bold. He actually dared to ask for a personal apology in the newspaper? This was simply outrageous! Of course, Du Yuming also knew that Wan Xiangyun was the 30th
The reason why the Second Army dared to provoke friction must have someone supporting him, otherwise he would never have the guts.
But even if Wan Xiangyun has Chairman Chiang's support behind him, it is absolutely impossible to apologize.
Are you kidding me about asking the leader of a country to apologize publicly in a newspaper? If he really apologized, where would the authority of the committee be?
Seeing Chairman Chiang getting angry, Wang Shihe immediately closed the folder and stopped reading. However, Chairman Chiang quickly calmed down, waved his hand and said, "Keep reading, keep reading, read!"
Wang Shihe said hesitantly: "Commission, why don't you read it, I'm afraid I'll make you angry."
"Don't be angry, I'm not angry." Chairman Jiang waved his hand and said, "You continue reading."
Wang Shihe had no choice but to open the folder again and read: "Second, the commander-in-chief of the National Army must immediately hold a press conference to clarify the matter of Wan Xiangyun's treason and surrender to the enemy and collusion with the Japanese aggressors to attack the Dameishan Independent Regiment in order to correct the situation.
Audio-visual, our Dameishan Military Division will also cooperate and conduct a public trial and sentencing of Wan Xiangyun."
Upon hearing this, Chairman Jiang's face immediately darkened.
If he was just angry just now, then now, Chairman Chiang clearly feels a chill spreading rapidly throughout his body through the soles of his feet. Chairman Chiang may not be considered a strategist, or even a politician.
Although he is a good politician, he has smelled a strong smell of conspiracy from Xu Rui's second revision.
Xu Rui wants to muddy the waters and lead the Feixi Incident into a ditch where the Kuomintang and the Japanese army colluded!
Of course, this may not really be a conspiracy. Maybe Xu Rui really knows something. After all, since Wang Jingwei publicly betrayed the country and surrendered to the enemy, many National Army officials on the battlefield behind enemy lines have been secretly flirting with him. This is not a secret, so no one can
There is no guarantee that Wan Xiangyun and Wang Jingwei have no contact.
Seeing that Chairman Chiang was not angry, Wang Shihe continued to read: "Thirdly, although Wan Xiangyun rebelled against the country and surrendered to the enemy, without Chairman Chiang's secret instructions and permission, the officers and men of the 32nd Group Army would never have aided him and made such mistakes.
The Feixi Incident has caused extremely serious losses to our Dameishan Military Division, which is a matter of great sorrow to our relatives and pleasure to our enemies. As compensation, the Nationalist Government needs to pay 12 million yuan to our Dameishan Military Division as compensation."
"Twelve million yuan? Ha!" Chairman Jiang couldn't hold it back in the end and got angry again, "So, he refused to let me go and actually increased the price, ten times more? Okay.
Well, it’s good to raise the price, it’s good to raise the price, but if the National Army Headquarters still refuses to compromise this time, will it raise the price to a hundred times next time?”
Neither Wang Shihe nor Du Yuming dared to say anything because the impact of this incident was too great.
Chairman Chiang snorted and said to Wang Shihe: "Shihe, call Ci Xiu, Jiansheng and Jingzhi in immediately."
Wang Shihe let out a sigh of relief when he heard this. From this attitude, he knew that Chairman Chiang was prepared to face up to this matter and would not act out of emotion as before.
