"Sir, first of all, I want to congratulate you. Now the Japanese have put their focus on you, which means that from now on, the Japanese have regarded you and the National Government as equals."
"What, compared with the National Government, are you kidding me? Ziran, when did you become so humorous?" Su Rui couldn't help but laughed and cursed at Liang Zhi angrily.
Liang Zhi did not laugh, but said to Su Rui very seriously: "Sir, what I said is true, and I did not mean to joke with you. This result is the conclusion reached by Qianying and I after careful discussion."
"You don't have a fever, right?" Su Rui saw Liang Zhi's serious expression, and then looked at Yu Xueying, who had her lips tightly closed and a solemn expression. She couldn't help but feel a little dazed, and couldn't help shouting: "You mean, our Seventh Army has already Has it replaced the National Government and become the first target that the Japanese need to deal with? How is this possible? "
Liang Zhi did not answer. He turned to look at Yu Xueying and said lightly: "Qianying, please report the information compiled by the Military Intelligence Bureau to the commander."
"OK."
Yu Xueying nodded, took out a document from her bag and handed it to Su Rui and said: "Sir, this is the recent situation of the Japanese army's mobilization in China that our Military Intelligence Bureau has just sorted out. Please take a look at it."
Su Rui waved his hand impatiently, "I won't read it. Please report it to me."
"Yes." Yu Xueying put the document on the coffee table, thought about it and said: "Just two weeks ago, the Emperor of Japan held an imperial meeting. Prime Minister Sakagaki Seishiro and Army Deputy Minister Hideki Tojo were present. Our group army was mentioned one after another in the meeting, claiming that we are Japan's most dangerous enemy, describing us as Japan's most powerful enemy in Southeast Asia, and suggesting that we be included as a priority target to be eliminated.
Emperor Hirohito also expressed his attitude at the meeting and issued a decree, ordering the Japanese army in China to change the order of attacking targets. The original priority of attacking the National Government has been changed to the priority of attacking the Guangdong Government. "
"Guangdong Government, are you mistaken? The Fourth Theater and the Seventh Army are under the control of the National Government, okay! When did we become the Guangdong Government?"
Suri couldn't help but screamed and defended herself loudly. But after the guy defended himself twice, his voice gradually dropped as if he thought of something, so he saw Liang Zhi and Yu Xueying looking at him with strange eyes.
"It seems that I really don't belong to the National Government." Su Rui thought about it with some conscience. One thing after another, things came to mind. It seemed that since arriving in Guangdong, I had been in a state of disobedience to the National Government. Especially after the alliance with Li and Bai, seriously speaking, without his own orders, the National Government would not be able to mobilize even a single soldier on the border between Guangdong and Guangxi.
"I didn't mean to do this from the beginning. I just wanted to protect myself. I really didn't mean to be a warlord." This guy muttered.
"Sirsir"
A voice pulled Su back, who was wandering in his soul. Su Rui looked up and found that Liang Zhi and Yu Xueying were looking at him with concern.
Reluctantly smiling at the two of them, Su Rui tried to calm down.
"His grandma, warlords are warlords. Even if they are warlords, I am also a good warlord." Someone comforted himself in his heart, and then said to Yu Xueying: "Qianying, you are saying that the Japanese base camp has changed now. Based on your strategic situation, you have decided to shift the focus of your attack to us?"
Yu Xueying nodded: "That's right. If the staff estimate is correct, within a few months, the Japanese attack on the Kuomintang-controlled areas will be postponed or simply stopped, and they will mobilize the army to attack us. In this way, we will ask for The pressure will be enormous."
When Yu Xueying said this, she stopped and stopped talking. However, the atmosphere in the study did not ease. Instead, it became more depressed. Especially Su Rui, whose originally thick eyebrows slowly wrinkled. stand up.
To be honest, since traveling to this era, although he has a big golden finger like a notebook, Suri has never thought about using this thing to climb to the highest chair in the country. He always tried to hide himself behind the ax of the National Government and worked quietly for the promising job of reducing the Japanese population. He just wanted to do his best for the troubled nation of China and let this country Fewer people die.
But many things will not be changed by people's willpower, nor can you keep a low profile if you want to. Due to some strange factors, his relationship with the Nationalist Party represented by Chairman Chiang gradually drifted away. Slowly, both sides looked at each other more and more dissatisfied.Suddenly, Su Rui, who grew up in another time and space, was affected by those ideas of "people will be punished if they don't do it for themselves". The first thing to consider in everything is whether it will have an impact on themselves or even pose a threat to their own lives.
Relying on the golden finger in his hand, his territory is getting bigger and bigger, and his army is getting more and more. At the same time, he is getting further and further away from the central government. At this time, the places under his control already have the feeling of competing with the national government. .
At the same time, as the Japanese suffered more and more losses in his hands, their strategic focus also shifted towards Guangdong. The history of this time and space has become very different from that of another time and space because of Suri's arrival.
"It shouldn't be. How come we have become the main force in the resistance against Japan? Did the Japanese make a mistake? They should be heading towards the Central Army?"
Su Rui¡¯s voice echoed softly in the study room. Liang Zhi and Yu Xueying looked at each other and smiled bitterly. It seemed that they, as officers, still didn¡¯t have the habit of being the protagonist.
Seeing this situation, Liang Zhi had to speak, "Sir, we are not discussing whether we should or should not. The problem now is that once the Japanese determine that we will be the primary target of attack, they will definitely attack from other places." We are deploying troops from various areas to attack us. But we are currently not ready to respond. At this stage, most of our main forces are dragged on the battlefield in Fujian. If the Japanese attack us from Anhui and Hunan again, our The situation is very dangerous!¡±
"Dangerous ass!"
Liang Zhi¡¯s words not only did not scare Su Rui, but instead aroused the bachelor side hidden in his heart.
"The Japanese also carry a head on two shoulders. If they dare to come over, why don't I dare to fight? Isn't it because we don't have enough troops? Let's just recruit more!"
Su Rui gritted his teeth and said: "Since the Japanese want to take over my home, then don't blame me for risking my life with them. We have to continue to recruit troops, we have to play the banner openly, and we must expand the number of troops within half a year. Only when it¡¯s strong enough to compete with the Japanese.¡±
"What?"
Liang Zhi felt dizzy before his eyes. He shook his head vigorously and asked in disbelief: "Sir, the number of troops to be expanded is not a small number. Do we have so much equipment and supplies? And we are so Once it is expanded, there will definitely be an uproar in the National Government, and newspapers will definitely label you as a warlord!"
"Afraid of a bird! The Japanese have already decided to fight me desperately, how can we have so much to worry about!" At this time, Su Rui also risked his life. Since he knew that the Japanese would mobilize heavy troops and the whole country would attack him, this My blood was boiling.
To be honest, Suri is not a great man, and his character is not very noble. To be honest, he is just a homebody who is afraid of death. Starting from that meeting in Nanjing, the reason why he led a group of remnant soldiers to fight out of Nanjing city was because he did not want to die. Over the past few years, he has stumbled all the way to the present. The most essential reason is that since he has embarked on this road, he has no choice but to Just don't keep going.
But now that the Japanese have regarded him as their number one enemy and mobilized most of their forces in China to kill him, he will naturally not sit still and wait for death. As the saying goes, a rabbit will chase an eagle when it's in a hurry, not to mention someone like Mr. Su who "cherishes life."
Staring with red eyes, Su Rui gasped and said: "Ziran, you don't have to worry about weapons and supplies. I will naturally make people ready. The war between us and the Japanese in Fujian has to be resolved as soon as possible. I'm worried that the war will be resolved as soon as possible." If we delay it, we will continue to increase our troops in Fujian, which will not do us any good."
"Well, that's for sure." Liang Zhi nodded. In the past, the Seventh Army's combat target was only the Japanese Central China Front Army, which already made them feel a little overwhelmed. In addition, the troops mobilized from Japan's East China and North China It's even harder to deal with. If the Japanese were a little more crazy and continued to mobilize troops from the Kwantung Army southward, Liang Zhi simply couldn't imagine what chaos would be like.
In a life-and-death situation, Su Rui and Liang Zhi, the actual number two figures in the Seventh Army, began to discuss how to expand the army.
First, they counted their current strength. Now Suri's Seventh Army has three army numbers issued by the National Government. There are three armies here with a total of about 200,000 people, plus the ten security brigades established by Su Rui as a side effect of 150,000 people, and the two armies sent by Li and Bai to Fujian and Jiangxi, all the people combined That's about 400,000 people.
¡°It will definitely not be enough if we just rely on these people to guard the territory of the four provinces of Guangdong, Guangxi, and Fujian and engage in all-out shopping with the Japanese. After discussion, several people decided that if they wanted to withstand the Japanese's full-scale offensive, they would need to add at least fifteen more infantrymen.Only then can an aviation division have enough troops to deal with attacks from other directions.
The three of them lost track of time while discussing in the study. They didn¡¯t stop until the lanterns came on and the servants came in to ask them to eat (To be continued.)
