    Chapter 703: High-profile trip south

    The defensive support points on the periphery of Taiyuan have all been removed, and the general attack on Taiyuan is about to begin. In order to reduce the casualties of the troops, Tang Qiuli held a special combat meeting to adjust the deployment. Yu Deshui, the director of the Intelligence Department, sent a top-secret intelligence  , this is important information collected by the ** Division Intelligence Office, the intelligence station in Nanjing, through various means.  {}

    The content of the intelligence made Tang Qiuli angry and extremely uneasy and worried. From this intelligence, we can at least draw conclusions. First, the Japanese have changed their attitude towards Chairman Chiang Kai-shek in Nanjing. They have focused on military strikes.  In order to mainly use inducements, secondly, Nanjing has formed a small circle that opposes itself, and the activity energy of this circle is not small. Thirdly, Chairman Chiang already knows that the Japanese envoy has arrived in Nanjing, but has not expressed his position yet.

    This is what Tang Qiuli is most worried about. The Japanese army suffered consecutive defeats in North China, coupled with three defeats on the Songhu battlefield, and lost nearly one million troops. It no longer has the ability to use troops against China on both the northern and southern fronts at the same time.  Choosing this time to send a special envoy to Nanjing shows that the Japanese government and opposition parties have regarded themselves as the number one enemy. They have made peace with the old man and freed up their hands to deal with themselves. Then their situation will be even more difficult in the future. After all, they are using a corner of North China to deal with Japan.  Across the country, military and economic strength are divided, so we can only take a defensive stance. Whether we can maintain the current situation in North China is not necessarily known.

    This is a typical tactic of defeating each other. With Chairman Chiang¡¯s scheming and shrewdness, wouldn¡¯t he be able to see it?  Moreover, Dai Li's Military Control Bureau was not a free man. The Japanese envoy was jumping up and down in Nanjing and had frequent contacts with senior members of the National Military Commission. Wouldn't he know?  There is a small group in Nanjing that opposes itself and needs to destroy or discredit itself. The old man is not sure?

    All the answers are negative. The old man knows everything, but he has not expressed his position. He is repeatedly weighing the pros and cons, watching and waiting, watching the wind direction, waiting for opportunities. The worst thing is that the old man allows the Japanese envoy to be in Nanjing.  Activities without restrictions, allowing those who oppose him to jump up and down without encouraging or stopping them, this in itself shows a problem. The old man has regarded himself as a more formidable opponent than the Japanese.

    Considering using the hands of the Japanese to consume his own power, it is best to fight to the death with the Japanese and fight to the death. Both sides will suffer. He can reap the benefits of others, which not only relieves the external troubles, but also solves the internal troubles, but kills two birds with one stone.  The strategy was too risky, and it might cost the old man his own family fortune, allowing the Japanese to take advantage.

    Tang Qiuli could even imagine that during this period, Chairman Chiang had consulted countless senior advisers and think tanks for their opinions. It was because the matter was too huge to set a tone, and that was why Chairman Chiang had such an ambiguous attitude today.  He was not even in the mood to smile bitterly. The feeling of being stared at by the Japanese and the old man was really unpleasant and terrifying.

    The quiet atmosphere in the conference room made Tang Qiuli very uncomfortable. He broke away from the emotions caused by the intelligence and smiled at everyone as if nothing had happened. The military meeting was coming to an end. The generals were very surprised by the division commander's behavior just now. Some  People with smart minds or experienced people instinctively feel that the telegram sent by Yu Deshui is not simple. Among them are General Jiang Baili, the dean of Dingbian Military Academy and the current commander of the cadet brigade of Dingbian Military Academy.  General Feng Zhian, the deputy commander of the 19th Army and currently the chairman of the Dingbian Martyrs Cemetery Management Committee, saw that the division commander did not say anything, so he had no choice but to return to his respective units with a lot of doubts on his head to adjust the deployment of troops in accordance with the requirements of the meeting.

    Tang Qiuli returned to the resting place. Mei Ting and Mei Xue were surprised when they saw his expression and cast their searching eyes on him. Tang Qiuli shook his head and said nothing. The Mei sisters were even more worried and carefully prepared  When the dinner came into his mouth, it tasted like chewed food. He had no idea what it tasted like. His mind was filled with intelligence information, and his heart was in such a mess that he couldn't figure it out.

    After a hasty dinner, he walked out of the house and took a few guards to the high hill outside Taiyuan City. Under the night, Taiyuan City was deathly silent, with only a few dazzling searchlights swinging constantly, illuminating the snow.  The lights are shining on the infinite wilderness outside the city. It is already the weather in early June. The evening breeze in North China carries the breath of early spring. Sometimes there is the fresh green fragrance and refreshing breath, with the slight fishy smell of earth.  Come.

    All of this seemed to have nothing to do with Tang Qiuli. He knew that on this seemingly peaceful spring night, there were countless conspiracies going on in distant Nanjing. Even in the ripe peach-like Taiyuan City in front of him, there were still several conspiracies going on.  Thousands of wild beasts are glaring with desperate evil eyes and making a death struggle.

    Standing for a while in the soft evening breeze, he seemed to have figured out some clues. There was no suspense about Taiyuan. It was just a matter of time to conquer it with a heavy blow. What worried him most was what happened in Nanjing. If Chiang Kai-shek  The Chairman of the Generalissimo reaching an agreement with the Japanese is tantamount to a disaster for himself.Anger filled Tang Qiuli's heart, and there was a feeling of betrayal. He clenched his fists and dug his nails deeply into his flesh. The guards around him, silently listening to the master's heavy breathing, could feel that he was about to explode.  of anger.

    The pain made his mind clear. At this moment, he had made up his mind that he must go to Nanjing in person in order to stop or destroy the Japanese conspiracy, break Chairman Chiang's wishful thinking, and get the best result for himself.  , of course he knew the risks involved. Chairman Chiang tacitly allowed the Japanese envoys to operate in Nanjing. If he went there, he would probably fall into a trap. The example of Zhang Hanqing was there, for the hundreds of thousands of soldiers who followed him for the sake of the Japanese army.  , in order to drive the little devils out of China, and for the ideal in his heart, even if Nanjing is a dragon's pool and a tiger's den, he has to break through.

    Now that he had made a decision, he felt much more relaxed. When he returned to the headquarters, he ordered his correspondent to ask for General Jiang Baili and General Feng Zhi'an. There were some things he had to explain. In case he couldn't come back, they were the only two old men around him. After a while,  The sound of hurried footsteps came from outside, and two energetic old generals followed each other in.

    Tang Qiuli was not polite and briefly introduced the content of the intelligence and told them his decision. Jiang Baili and Feng Zhi'an did not speak after listening. There was an unbearable silence in the room. Jiang Baili glanced at Feng Zhi'an and said calmly.  And he said with a slight accent from Jiangsu and Zhejiang generations: "Master, I don't agree with you going to Nanjing. Judging from the content of the intelligence, Nanjing is already a dangerous place. Those people have regarded you as a target that must be eradicated. Go now,  The future is unpredictable, and besides, I know him very well, Mr. Jiang, and Zhang Hanqing is still under house arrest by him," Feng Zhi'an nodded in agreement.

    Tang Qiuli explained his thoughts and the reason why he had to go in detail. The two were silent for a long time. Seeing that they could not stop it, they turned to discuss specific methods. Taiyuan followed the original plan, and the time and plan of the general attack remained unchanged.  After conquering Taiyuan, he immediately sent troops into the Pingjin area and issued orders in the name of the division commander. While he was in Nanjing, the command of the troops attacking Taiyuan was handed over to General Jiang Baili and General Feng Zhian, who served as the deputy commander-in-chief and deputy general respectively, with full power.  Responsible for the military operation to attack Taiyuan.

    After seeing off the two men, Tang Qiuli immediately issued an order. Tang Qiuquan's special operations detachment immediately handed over the task of annihilating the Japanese troops in northern Shanxi to the field troops. The entire detachment immediately sneaked into Nanjing as quickly as possible. Then, Shen Jun,  Yu Deshui and Shan Hu called in and assigned tasks. All the agents from the Shen Jun Investigation Division and the Yu Deshui Intelligence Division immediately entered Nanjing. The Nanjing Intelligence Station of the Intelligence Division was responsible for picking up those who arrived earlier. Yu Deshui was in charge  Centered coordination.

    Shan Hu's security brigade, with the exception of the special guards, entered Nanjing with a high profile. As the advance force of the Vice Chairman, all system personnel who secretly entered Nanjing had only one mission: to capture the Japanese special envoy Tanaka.  Hong Yi, as well as the high-ranking officials and officials who have come into contact with him in the government, no matter who they are, must first control them. No matter what method is used, they must take out useful things from their mouths, and they must live.

    Several people went to prepare separately. Tang Qiuli called Chen Feng, the director of the communications department, and asked him to share the news that he was going to Nanjing in the near future. Through various means, major newspapers in Nanjing and the country could learn about the news.  Bigger is better. Tang Qiuli used both light and dark tactics, grabbing evidence here and going to Nanjing in a high-profile way. How many pairs of eyes were watching his every move. If the old man wanted to take action, he had to consider the consequences. In addition, there were hundreds of thousands of troops doing it.  With the backing and the territory gained, he expected that Chairman Chiang would not dare to attack him at this time under such circumstances. He had to weigh the importance. Tang Qiuli was not Zhang Xueliang.

    He just wanted to make the matter of going to Nanjing known to everyone. Seeing that Chairman Chiang dared to take action in front of everyone, perhaps, from this moment on, irreparable differences have already arisen between Tang Qiuli and Chairman Chiang.  The rift is doomed to part ways, faces and hearts are not in harmony, each is on guard, and his heart cannot help but feel a little lonely. As fate dictates, he can only comfort himself in this way.

    He also informed the commanders of each corps of the news that he was going to Nanjing, so as not to worry them. After finishing all this work, it was already past eleven o'clock in the night. With a complicated mood, he returned to the resting place and saw from a distance  , the swaying lights in the room, the two beautiful silhouettes on the window, Mei Ting and Mei Xue were not sleeping yet, waiting for him, warm ripples appeared in Tang Qiuli's heart.

    He did not go in immediately, but stayed outside the window, admiring it carefully. The breeze of the spring night would lift the corners of his clothes from time to time. It seemed that he had not felt such a tranquility and peace for a long time. From time to time, there was a burst of sound in Taiyuan City.  The faint sound of gunfire made the night even more silent.

    Several guards looked at each other. The teacher's behavior was very strange tonight, but what Tang Qiuli was thinking about was how to convince Mei Ting and Mei Xue not to go to Nanjing this time.
