Looking at Su Rui with a troubled expression, Liang Zhi also felt helpless. China's foundation is really too thin, so thin that no one can control it even if you get the equipment.
Seeing that the atmosphere was a bit dull, Su Ruiqiang cheered up and said with a smile: "Forget it, let's not talk about this anymore. When the recruitment is completed again, we can start to form the armored division again. This time we will form two of them at once. We will definitely be able to Beat the shit out of the little devil. But now we still have to discuss how to expand the army again"
It can be said that the war in Fujian has attracted the attention of all China. Both the Chongqing government and the Japanese government have set their sights on this land. For the Japanese base camp, this is a battle they cannot afford to lose, because once lost, it means that the dominance of the southeastern coast will completely fall into the hands of the Seventh Army, which is very important to the Japanese side. The blow was huge. Moreover, there are nearly 200,000 Japanese army elites gathered on the battlefield in Fujian. The Japanese will feel heartbroken if they are killed.
The Chongqing government is also paying attention to this war. For Chairman Chiang, Su Rui and his Seventh Army have become an unstable factor. Jiang loved and hated this well-equipped and powerful army. What he loves is that this army has attracted a lot of hatred from the Japanese for him, which has reduced the pressure on the Central Army a lot. What he hates is that such a powerful armed force does not completely belong to him.
In another time and space, 1939 and 1940 were originally the most difficult years for the Nationalist Government. A large amount of territory was lost and the army was retreating. However, in this time and space, history has turned a corner. Since the Su Rui After this variable appeared, the victims became the Japanese.
As Suri's strength grows, his counterattacks against the Japanese become more and more fierce. Originally it was just about wiping out the Japanese troops piecemeal, then annihilating one division after another, and now it has progressed to starting to recover lost territory one province after another. This change prevented the Japanese from launching attacks on Kuomintang-controlled areas without any scruples. Forced to turn their attention to Guangdong and other provinces where Suri is located, there are now signs of dispatching troops from East and South China to central China.
In the office of Zeng Jiayan Apartment, Chairman Chiang who always likes to sit behind his desk and work today made an exception and sat on the sofa in the reception area. His thin body was completely sunken into the sofa. In front of him stood several people from the current national political circles. Famous people. No matter which one of these people stands alone in front of ordinary people, they are giant figures, but here they can only look at the man sitting on the sofa respectfully, waiting for his words.
?????????????????????????????????????????????? Chairman Chiang's voice echoed in the office as if floating from the sky, "So the Japanese have begun to withdraw troops from various battlefields ahead?"
"It's not a withdrawal of troops, it's just a reduction of troops. At least that's the current situation. And according to the greedy temperament of the Japanese, they will not spit out what they have already obtained." The military commander stood in front of Chairman Chiang with his head held high. Bureau chief Dai Li quickly corrected his boss's mistake.
"Otherwise. I think the reduction of Japanese troops just proves one thing. The Japanese must reduce their troops on all fronts, because what they have to deal with now is another bigger threat." On the other side, Chen Cheng explained this issue from a military perspective.
"Whether the Japanese are withdrawing their troops or reducing their troop strength, at least one thing has been proved, that is, the Japanese have shifted their focus from the Japanese to Suri and his Seventh Army. In this way, we There is enough time to train new troops." Chen Brai, standing behind Chen Cheng and Dai Li, looked very optimistic.
After the three people finished expressing their thoughts, they all looked at the boss in front of them quietly, waiting for the boss to make the final decision.
Chairman Jiang picked up the boiled water on the coffee table and took a sip. He smashed his mouth and then said: "It's a good thing that the Japanese are shrinking their troops from the front. This can at least allow our generals in the front to have a good sleep."
Having said this, Chairman Jiang had a mocking look on his face, while Chen Cheng and others looked a little embarrassed. In the past few years, the Japanese have been unstoppable on the battlefield. First, the capital Jinling was lost, and then all the coastal areas fell. The Japanese occupied nearly half of China's territory in less than three years. If it weren't for military loans and assistance from the United States, Britain and other countries from time to time, the Nationalist Government would have been unable to survive long ago. Discussing the reasons why the Communist Party lost cities and territory, there is certainly a reason for this: poor weapons and equipment, but it is also a main reason why many Japanese generals were timid in battle and fled before fighting. As a leader of a country, Chairman Chiang Kai-shek I was also angry and ashamed of the poor performance of my students.
Logically speaking, Chairman Chiang Kai-shek should be so happy that such a fierce general and an army emerged from the Communist Party of China. But the crux of the matter is thisThe military commander of the army and Chairman Chiang Kai-shek are not the same person. In the opinion of the Chairman, Suri is ambitious and anxious. Well, none of that matters. The key thing is that the military commander of this unit is not his student, and he is also mixed up with the two old enemies who have been fighting with him for decades. This is what makes Chairman Chiang feel restless the most.
Stopping looking at everyone's faces, Chairman Chiang slowly said: "Are you all very happy now? The Japanese have withdrawn their troops. You can sit back and relax, and you can continue to live in a dream, but don't forget Now, the Japanese still occupy nearly half of our country¡¯s territory, and they can come back at any time, haven¡¯t you seen this?¡±
The more Chairman Chiang spoke, the louder he became. Finally, he slapped the coffee table hard, making a "bang" sound, which startled the three people in front of him. They all stood there in silence, not daring to say a word.
"How come the party-state has raised a bunch of trash like you? If each of you were half as capable as Su Zhongxin, we would have driven the Japanese out of China long ago. I won't be so worried that I can't sleep all night long!"
Having said this, Chairman Jiang stood up, walked to Chen Cheng, looked directly at him and said: "Cixiu, you are the deputy minister of the Ministry of Military Affairs. I ask you, with the current strength of our army, can we launch a major counterattack and regain our strength?" How many big cities have fallen ahead?"
"Recapture the big city?"
Chen Cheng shouted in surprise, groaning secretly in his heart. Based on the current strength of the Communist Party, it is almost enough to recapture a few small counties. If you want to recapture big cities like Yichang and Jingzhou, don't even think about it. The Communist Party must dare to go there. The Japanese will definitely beat them to death.
Thinking of this, Chen Cheng said with a bitter face: "Reporting to the committee, according to the strength of our army, it is okay to recover a few small counties, but if we go to attack big cities, we will not be able to do so."
"Do you have enough strength?" Chairman Chiang snorted, "I'm afraid you don't have the ability?"
"The department's incompetence has disappointed you." Chen Cheng lowered his head in shame.
"You still know that you are incompetent? But look at Su Zhongxin. He has only been in Guangdong for a few years. Not only has he turned Guangdong into his own territory, but he has also taken over Jiangxi, and now he is even preparing to join Fujian. Restoration. And our dignified central government actually wants to look at the face of a local warlord. This is simply a disgrace, a disgrace to the party and the country!"
??At the end. Chairman Chiang simply roared, making the three people in front of him tremble with fear.
After scolding the three people, Chairman Jiang felt that the suffocation in his heart was relieved. He waved his hand impatiently and was about to drive the three people away. Unexpectedly, Dai Li, who had been silent all this time, suddenly stood up. He came out and said: "Principal, the students recently got a piece of information. It's about Suri."
Chairman Jiang picked up the glass and took a sip of water, and said angrily: "What is it? Why are you hesitating? Why don't you tell me quickly?"
"Yes!" Dai Li quickly took a step forward and said: "Principal, the students just received the report from our intelligence station stationed in Guangzhou this morning. Su Rui is preparing to recruit troops in Guangdong, and the scale of the recruitment is unprecedented. It is said that 300,000 soldiers will be recruited!¡±
"What. Threethree hundred thousand!"
"Dang clang"
The glass in Chairman Jiang¡¯s hand fell to the ground with a crisp sound, and everyone in the room was stunned by the news.
Everyone present can be called the elite of this era. If this news is true, they know very well what it means.
"Is this news true?" Chen Brai is known as a literary genius, but at this time he couldn't calm down anymore and asked in a loud voice, while several people next to him also looked at him nervously.
Dai Li took a deep breath and nodded slowly.
There was silence in the office. It took a long time before a familiar curse sounded in the office.
"Nang Xipi, what does Su Zhongxin want to do? He does not have the permission of the central government or the approval of the Ministry of Military Affairs. He even expands the army without authorization. Does he want to openly resist the government?"
Chen Cheng also said with a livid face: "Surui's 7th Army originally had 200,000 troops. Now he, Li and Bai are in cahoots with the 7th, 46th, and 48th Three from the original Guangxi faction." His army alone has more than 300,000 men and nearly 400,000 men. If he expands his army by another 300,000, his army will reach 700,000!"
"Isn't it more?" Dai Li quietly revealed another shocking news. According to the latest news from the intelligence station, Su Rui established ten security brigades in Guangdong in the name of local township corps, with each security brigade having 10,000 people. About five, that is to say, if Suri's army expansion is completed, his army will reach 850,000.
Hearing this, Chairman Chiang no longer even thought about cursing. If this news is true, Su Rui can compete with him for the world without waiting for the Japanese to be driven out of Bad China.
At this time, only Dai Li was the calmest among everyone. Anyway, Su Rui's conscription had little to do with him. He was just an intelligence chief, and all he did was report the intelligence he obtained to his boss. As for military and strategic matters, they have little to do with him and are beyond his control. As for Su Rui's power to compete with his boss for the world after his rise, it's still too early for him. He can't control such far-reaching matters.
Chairman Chiang was not a good person. After the initial shock, he quickly calmed down and said to everyone: "It has happened, and it is useless to complain. The most important thing right now is to quickly strengthen our strength to cope with the upcoming A sudden change is coming. Immediately, you draft an official letter to President Roosevelt of the United States, requesting the United States to increase assistance to our country, and to establish ten infantry divisions, ten heavy artillery regiments, and two hundred of the latest aircraft within one year. fighter planes, otherwise without the support of strong force, the situation in China will only become more and more chaotic. And a chaotic China will not be of any benefit to the United States."
"Yes, Chairman, I will draft the telegram immediately tonight." Chen Brei looked stern and agreed immediately.
"Ci Xiu!"
"Here we come!" Chen Cheng agreed and stood up in front of Chairman Chiang with his head held high.
"After you get down, you immediately issue a notice in the name of the Ministry of Military Affairs to upgrade Su Zhongxin's military rank to a first-class general, and appoint him as the commander of the fourth theater to take charge of all combat matters in the fourth theater!"
"It's uh what?"
Chen Cheng didn¡¯t react at all. He looked at his boss in surprise. Chairman Jiang sighed deeply and then said: "Su Zhongxin's second son is now full-fledged. We can't be tough on him. We can only use gentle strategies to gradually get him. Otherwise, once he turns against us, we will be passive." .¡±
Chen Cheng asked in astonishment: "Then you let Su Zhongxin become the commander of the fourth theater, what should Zhang Xianghua (formerly commander of the fourth theater Zhang Fakui) do?"
Chairman Chiang snorted angrily: "What else can we do, I can only aggrieve him. Transfer him back to Chongqing to serve as a senior adviser to the Military Commission."
Chen Cheng gave a bitter smile and asked, so he didn't ask. In China, the position of consultant is originally a fictitious position. I am afraid that people will not be happy to let Zhang Fakui serve as a consultant in name only. It's just that Chen Cheng understands his boss's temper, since he has already decided it himself. Then he won't change easily. All he can do is to comfort Zhang Fakui.
After explaining to Chen Brai and Chen Cheng, Chairman Chiang turned his gaze to Dai Li, and his profound gaze made Dai Li feel chills in his heart. After a while, Chairman Jiang nodded to him and said: "Yunong, you are very good. You are worthy of being my student. You even got such confidential information as Su Zhongxin. You have not betrayed my trust!" Afterwards, he patted Dai Li's shoulder approvingly to show encouragement.
It was the first time for Dai Li to receive such praise from Chairman Chiang. This move made his originally gloomy personality so excited that he could not control himself. He said with some excitement: "The principal has given too much praise. The students are just doing their part."
"Duty?" Chairman Chiang suddenly laughed at himself and said, "Yes, duty. You are right, but there are too few people in this world who can fulfill their duty."
Having followed Chairman Chiang for so long, everyone is familiar with their boss¡¯s temper, so they all stood quietly waiting for new orders. Fortunately, a certain person did not keep everyone waiting for long. After a pause, he said to Dai Li: "Yunong. When you go back, immediately send a report to your people stationed in Guangdong. I don't care what method you use, you must sneak in." Su Zhongxin¡¯s side should report every move he makes every day, and it¡¯s best to control the people around him. Remember, this must be done as soon as possible.¡±
Dai Li was shaken all over and immediately said loudly: "Yes. The students will make arrangements immediately!"
"Okay, you all can go out!" After finishing speaking, Chairman Jiang sat down heavily on the sofa, and then waved his hand to signal everyone to go out.
Dai Li slowly followed Chen Cheng and Chen Brai out of the office. The three of them walked to the parking place in silence. Chen Brai suddenly stopped and said seriously to Dai Li: "Yunong!"
Dai Li quickly stopped and asked, "Secretary-General Chen, what are your orders?"
Chen Bulei glanced at Dai Li meaningfully and said earnestly: "I don't dare to take orders. I have to talk to you about some things in person. Yunong, you must act with caution and do not do anything that the chairman of the committee just ordered you to do." Don¡¯t go too far, otherwise no one can save you once things get serious.¡±
WearLi secretly sneered in his heart, but on the surface he still said to Chen Bui respectfully: "Dai Li has learned a lesson from Secretary-General Chen's words. Don't worry, I will definitely keep it in mind."
Chen Bui stared at Dai Li for a long time before saying solemnly: "I hope you really keep it in mind! Okay, go and do your work."
"Okay, then I'll leave first. Resign, Secretary-General Chen, I'll take my leave first!" After saying that, Dai Li got into his car and quickly left the sight of the two of them.
Seeing that Dai Li's car had disappeared, Chen Cheng said to Chen Bui: "Brother Yanji, what you just said seemed to have other intentions. Are you worried"
Chen Bulei sighed, and then said: "I resign, I'm afraid that the Chairman will do something stupid when he is temporarily confused. And it's not like you don't know Dai Yunong, in his eyes, there is no one other than the Chairman. There is no room for others. You have seen what happened just now. Now the Chairman of the Committee has regarded Su Zhongxin as a strong enemy. If one day Dai Li is eager to perform meritorious deeds and orders his agents to assassinate Su Zhongxin, think about the consequences. How about it?"
"Hiss"
Chen Cheng couldn't help but take a breath of cold air. The possibility that Chen Brei mentioned really exists. Not only does it exist, but it is also very possible. If Dai Li really assassinates Su Rui, regardless of whether the assassination is successful or not, it will completely push the Seventh Army into opposition to the central government.
Seeing Chen Cheng¡¯s changing expression, Chen Bui knew that the other party already knew the seriousness of the matter. Then he said leisurely: "Fortunately, things still happened and there is still time to make things right. Tomorrow you and I will call a few people from Jingzhi to go together to persuade the Chairman and ask him to think carefully and not do anything stupid."
"Well, I will. I will go find He Jingzhi later!" Chen Cheng said firmly. (To be continued. If you like this work, you are welcome to come to Qidian to vote for recommendations and monthly votes. Your support is my biggest motivation. Mobile phone users please go to m. to read.)
