He Yingqin, Bai Chongxi, and Chen Cheng also came to Hengyang with Chairman Chiang this time. After receiving the notice, they immediately came to the conference room. When the three of them walked into the conference room, they only saw Chairman Chiang sitting with his eyes closed.
There was a folder on the table in front of him, and there was a telegram in the folder.
"Take a seat." He Yingqin called out in a low voice.
"Here we come." Chairman Chiang did not open his eyes. He only smacked the folder in front of him and said, "Let's read the telegram first."
He Yingqin was the Minister of Military Affairs and Minister of Military Order. He could be said to be the most powerful figure in the General Headquarters after Chairman Chiang Kai-shek. He picked up the folder from the table without hesitation and opened the telegram.
In a short time, He Yingqin and the others had finished circulating the telegram.
At this time, Chairman Chiang finally opened his eyes and asked: "What do you think?"
He Yingqin and Chen Cheng did not speak immediately. They were still trying to figure out Chairman Chiang's thoughts.
Bai Chongxi's status in the headquarters was relatively aloof, so he had less scruples when speaking, so he said: "Assignment, I think this matter can no longer be taken lightly."
Chairman Chiang frowned and asked, "What do you mean by Jiansheng?"
Bai Chongxi said: "Commissioner, this Xu Rui has always been surly. To put it bluntly, he is a mad dog. If we cannot comply with his wishes, there is no guarantee that he will not do even crazier things. You must know that the Dameishan Independent Group has a radio
"Taiwan, there is no guarantee that this guy will write a letter to compatriots all over the country, or even hold a press conference. However, those Western media reporters believe his words, not us."
He Yingqin said: "You mean we are likely to lose in a public opinion war?"
Bai Chongxi shook his head and said calmly: "Brother Jing, you are wrong. It's not that you may lose, but you will definitely lose."
He Yingqin frowned and said: "Brother Jiansheng's words are a bit too arbitrary, aren't they? Xu Rui's accusation that Wan Xiangyun secretly colluded with the Japanese invaders is completely unfounded. Even those reporters from Western media are more willing to believe Xu Rui's words.
But you won’t follow Xu Rui and call white things black, right?”
"Is it true that there is no trace?" Bai Chongxi said suddenly, "Brother Jing, dare to be a guarantee?"
"This..." He Yingqin was immediately speechless. Of course he didn't dare to make this guarantee.
As a senior member of the General Command second only to Chairman Chiang Kai-shek, He Yingqin is qualified to access some intelligence from the military commander. According to the intelligence obtained by the military commander, there are many powerful figures on the battlefield behind enemy lines, such as Sun Liangcheng, Pang Bingxun, Shi Yousan, and Liu Yueting.
, Gong Bingfan and other senior generals were secretly flirting with the Wang Puppet Government.
Although so far, no information has been obtained on Wan Xiangyun's collusion with Wang's puppet government, but who can be sure that Wan Xiangyun has not colluded with Wang's puppet government? Who can guarantee that Xu Rui does not have any black material about Wan Xiangyun?
?What if Xu Rui really has Wan Xiangyun’s black material in his hands and it finally comes out, wouldn’t He Yingqin be in trouble?
Thinking of this, He Yingqin immediately stopped saying anything and curled up his tail obediently.
Chairman Chiang turned his attention to Chen Cheng again and asked: "Ci Xiu, what do you think?"
Chen Cheng said: "Commissioned, I think Brother Jiansheng is right. I am afraid that the Feixi Incident can no longer be taken lightly, nor can it be suppressed with force. For some people, force is effective, but for a crazy person like Xu Rui."
For those who are disobedient, strong measures to suppress them will only be counterproductive. This guy is really capable of doing anything."
Chairman Jiang frowned and said: "Anything can be done? Xu Rui really dares to do anything?"
Chen Cheng said: "Xu Rui's two phone calls deliberately used clear codes to demonstrate to us from a distance. At the moment, the things Xu Rui mentioned are just trivial matters, and the negative impact is limited to Wan Xiangyun. But if Xu Rui is really arrested,
If he becomes desperate, we can't rule out that he will use his friends to expose the inside story and throw dirty water on the committee members, which will have a huge impact."
The implication of Chen Cheng's words is that once Xu Rui is pushed into a hurry, he may use Wan Xiangyun to fabricate facts and slander Chairman Chiang as secretly colluding with the Japanese to deal with the Communist Party.
If this really happens, it will cause an extremely heavy blow to Chairman Chiang's prestige and image.
Chairman Chiang said in a deep voice: "Even if Xu Rui acts boldly, will the Communist Party dare to agree?"
Chen Cheng said: "Have you forgotten that Xu Rui was demoted to cook because of his disobedience?"
Chairman Chiang said in a dark voice: "In other words, we will definitely suffer the consequences of this mute?"
Chen Cheng immediately shut his mouth and said nothing. He would not get into trouble at this time.
However, Chairman Jiang still couldn't bear the bad breath. He frowned and asked, "Ci Xiu, is there really no hope of winning this matter?"
Chen Cheng shook his head and said: "Commissioner, if we win the Feixi Incident, it will be easy to say, but the problem is that the 32nd Army suffered a huge defeat. Not only did the more than 20,000 officers and soldiers of the four divisions who participated in the operation become prisoners,
, even Wan Xiangyun, the commander-in-chief of the group army, was taken prisoner, so he was caught off guard, and the yellow mud fell down his crotch, which is either shit or shit."
Although he has a good personal relationship with Wan Xiangyun, at this point, Chen Cheng can only die as a fellow Taoist, not as a poor Taoist.
Bai Chongxi also said: "The key point is that Wan Xiangyun is not a very courageous person. He doesn't need to be punished. Xu Rui only needs to scare him, and this guy will admit everything. By that time, Xu Rui will be a human and material evidence."
It’s complete, but we’re talking empty talk. Who do you think the Western media will believe?”
He Yingqin said: "We are afraid that even if we jump into the Yellow River, we won't be able to clean ourselves."
The opinions of the troika he most relied on were so unified that Chairman Chiang knew that the Feixi Incident could only be handled according to Xu Rui's wishes. At this time, Chairman Chiang could not help but feel a little regretful.
Knowing that this would be the case, he should not have rejected Xu Rui's first telegram.
However, this idea only flashed and disappeared from Chairman Jiang's mind.
As a politician, it is never allowed to review one's own behavior.
"Then let's do it. I respectfully call you back to the Dameishan Independent Regiment immediately in the name of the headquarters. This time, don't go through the military headquarters of the New Fourth Army and call back directly." At this point, Chairman Chiang paused obviously.
After a few seconds, he continued, "We agree with the three construction suggestions put forward by Xu Rui."
He Yingqin took notes and then asked: "Commissioner, where did Xu Rui's twelve million yuan come from? And what will happen to Wan Xiangyun after he is released? Should he continue to serve as the commander-in-chief of the 32nd Army?
"
"These twelve million yuan will be spent from Shanghai's revenue." Chairman Chiang said, "As for Wan Xiangyun, don't serve as commander-in-chief anymore. If he is not good enough, let him stay where he can."
"Yes." He Yingqin agreed, then turned and left.
Chen Cheng and Bai Chongxi also resigned, leaving only Chairman Chiang in the conference room.
Chairman Jiang walked to the window of the conference room, stared at the bleak winter scenery outside the window, and said through gritted teeth: "Xu Rui, I, Jiang, will admit defeat this time, but next time you must not let me take the opportunity."
(Dividing line)
Feixi Town.
Tang Kaishan was taking Xu Rui and Wang Husheng to inspect the arsenal.
Most of the arms seized by the Feixi Independent Regiment last time were stored in this arsenal.
Tang Kaishan led the way and said: "Commander, political commissar, the batch of arms seized last time, except for the bullets and grenades that were somewhat consumed, the rest of the supplies are here, and we have no use at all."
"Okay." Wang Husheng nodded and said, "This time your independent group has really made a great contribution."
Tang Kaishan scratched his head and whispered: "Political Commissar, can I make a small request?"
"Say," Wang Husheng said, "As long as it is within the scope allowed by the principle, there will be no problem."
Tang Kaishan chuckled and said, "Political Commissar, we brothers want to go to the Meishan Branch of the Anti-Japanese War to study military command. Is it possible?"
"Good thing, this is a good thing." Wang Husheng said, "I can approve it now."
"Really?" Tang Kaishan was immediately overjoyed when he heard this, then turned around and ran away, "I'll tell Lao Er and them to go."
Watching Tang Kaishan go away, Wang Husheng smiled and said to Xu Rui: "I can't tell that Old Tang and the others have quite high consciousness, and they actually offered to enter the Kangda University branch for further study."
"That's right." Xu Rui said cheerfully, "Even though he is a bandit, he has great ambitions."
"Ambition?" Wang Husheng said, "No matter how high Old Tang's ambition is, it is not as high as yours."
Xu Rui did not pick up Wang Husheng's blame and ordered Xu Ye behind him: "Gou'er, please arrange a car to transport all the oil here back to Meixian and hand it over to Minister Xiao."
"Yes." Xu Ye agreed and turned around.
Wang Husheng refused to expose it easily, and continued: "Old Xu, I really don't know what you are thinking. If you can't extort money once, you actually want to increase the amount, and if you add it, it will be ten times. You must know that what you are extorting is not ordinary people."
You are not a person, but the leader of the National Government, are you really not afraid that this matter will never end in the end?"
"Afraid?" Xu Rui shook his head and smiled, "I've done everything, is there any point in being afraid?"
"Don't be so playful with me," Wang Husheng said, "I'm talking to you about business."
"Don't be so serious, okay?" Xu Rui said, "The worst case scenario is to be dismissed and go back to be my cook. But what if it happens? Our military division has enough funds for half a year. Besides, our Dameishan Independent Regiment
Since its establishment, the National Government has not released a penny of funds, so this time it will be treated as a replacement payment."
"Go back and work as a cook again?" Wang Husheng said, "That's a good idea, but I have to shoot you this time."
"Old Wang, are you so cruel?" Xu Rui shouted, "Is this how you treat your partner?"
"I just have to shoot you." Wang Husheng said, "If I shoot you earlier, I can live a few more years."
While the two were talking, Xiao Taohong suddenly came over in a hurry, and Xu Rui immediately said: "Old Wang, Chairman Chiang has already replied. Can you guess what the result will be?"
