Seeing that Su Rui didn't blame herself, Yu Xueying was secretly relieved. Once the pressure in his heart was gone, his mind became more active. He thought for a while and suggested: "Sir, Mrs. Chiang's intention to go to the United States is not trivial. We must treat it with caution! According to the Ministry of Staff's opinion, the Americans This is to build a force in China as their representative, and it is obvious that they chose Chairman Chiang."
Su Rui glanced at Yu Xueying appreciatively. This guy still had a certain political vision. In another time and space, the National Government relied on the support of Americans to establish thirty art mechanics. Chiang Kai-shek was also It was thanks to these artificers that they had the courage to launch a civil war. It's just that Lao Chiang's fighting skills were too fashionable, and he couldn't publicize and package himself, so his reputation among the people was too bad, and he ended up running away in despair.
But even after Chiang Kai-shek fled to Treasure Island, the Americans still did not give up their support for him. In another time and space, Su Rui couldn't figure out why Roosevelt and Truman risked their lives to support Chiang Kai-shek. Now he finally understood that feelings were not only motivated by interests, but also that Mrs. Chiang played a big role in it. The role of ah.
Thinking of this, Su Rui chuckled softly: "Well, who the Americans like to support is their own business. We can't give up on ourselves just because the Americans chose Chairman Chiang. Now our biggest enemy is still the Japanese. Before the Japanese are driven away, all domestic contradictions will be covered up by this big contradiction, so we don¡¯t have to worry about Chairman Chiang turning against us yet.¡±
"What if Chairman Chiang really wants to attack us?" This voice belonged to Li Yifeng. He was born in the Sichuan Army and had a natural dislike of Chiang Kai-shek. He clearly remembered the good deeds that Chiang Kai-shek had done to him. During the battle to defend Nanjing, the logistics officers at the Nanjing Garrison Command actually gave them wooden bullets for training, so that many Sichuan Army soldiers A tragic sacrifice that Li Yifeng will never forget for the rest of his life. In view of this, Li Yifeng only has hatred and disgust for the National Government.
"Attached to us?" Su Rui's face suddenly turned a little paler, and his voice seemed to be floating from the sky, "If he dares to attack us, then give me a hard slap back, listen." do you understand?"
"Understood!" Everyone around looked at each other, and they could see each other's joy in each other's eyes.
¡°For a long time, everyone¡¯s attitude towards the National Government has been quite contradictory. On the one hand, they are not very interested in the Nationalist Government and the Central Army represented by Chairman Chiang Kai-shek. After all, Chiang Kai-shek did some very unreasonable things, such as trying to win over divisions and take advantage of others. You fight the tough battle, and I'll collect the benefits. You really don't have to do too many tricks. But on the other hand, they are now nominally a force under the Nationalist Government. No matter how much they dislike Chiang Kai-shek, they cannot change this.
And the most important point is Suri's ambiguous attitude. In view of Suri's importance and prestige in the fourth theater, there are many things that they can't do if Suri doesn't nod. After all, Suri's role in the fourth theater is so high that no one can take his place.
I heard what Suri said. While everyone was overjoyed, Li Yifeng began to hesitate and said: "Sir, if I mean if we drive away the little devil in the future, do you have any other ideas?"
As soon as Li Yifeng said this, everyone around him fell silent. Everyone's ears stood up, even Liang Zhi, who had a different expression all year round because of the damage to his facial nerves. He and several officers next to him all set their sights on their boss. .
"Huh?" Su Rui couldn't help but was startled. He looked up at Li Yifeng and said with a half-smile: "I mean Li Yifeng. You are very brave today. You are trying to guess what the commander is thinking. Then you Tell me, what can we do after we drive away the little devil?"
Seeing that Su Rui didn't get angry, Li Yifeng became more courageous. He scratched his head and said: "Sir, as the saying goes, emperors take turns, come to my house today! Besides, it's the Republic of China now. Chairman Chiang is sitting here We have been here for so long, it¡¯s time for a replacement, I¡¯ve always felt that you can take this seat too.¡±
"Nonsense!" Su Rui laughed when he heard this. He waved his hands with a smile, "Okay, let's not talk about this. I know my own family affairs. I know best what I am. You can just listen to this for fun. Forget it, don¡¯t spread the word, do you understand?¡±
"yes!"
A hint of tacit excitement flashed across everyone's eyes and they stopped talking. Although Su Rui did not explicitly agree to Li Yifeng, everyone still smelled something unusual in his words.
"Okay, take it all back and see what you are thinking." Su Rui had to raise her voiceand tapped the table to remind them.
"Ahem, okay, everyone, please put your thoughts back. Now everything is focused on the war of resistance. Don't think about those messy things." Su Rui glared at everyone and continued: "Since you are all here, there is one more thing. Let me tell you all about it together. After we wiped out the Japanese 2nd and 3rd Divisions, the Japanese became anxious. They stopped their offensive in other areas and gradually mobilized troops from Hubei, Anhui and Zhejiang to try to attack from three sides. The attack on Jiangxi and Fujian provinces. According to preliminary statistics, the strength of these troops is about 40,000 to 500,000. Is it unlucky? Everyone, tell me, what should we do?"
Li Yifeng shouted again: "Sir, the staff thinks there is nothing to be afraid of. The so-called soldiers will block the water and cover it with soil. We have just destroyed the Japanese army of 200,000, and we don't mind fighting them again, as long as they dare Come, let us dare to cut off their claws again!"
Su Rui glanced at Li Yifeng helplessly and said, "Can you please calm down? I know it's very boring for you to stay in Guangzhou these days, but you know the reason, so I won't say it anymore. But I can promise You, when I bring back the security brigade in a few days, I will release you and the 399th Army. That¡¯s it, right?¡±
Hearing Su Rui¡¯s words, Li Yifeng couldn¡¯t restrain his excitement and said loudly: ¡°Yes, Sir Xie!¡±
"You!" Su Rui shook his head helplessly. He knew Li Yifeng's temper. He was a restless guy. If he wasn't released, he would get sick sooner or later.
Not to mention the excited Li Yifeng, Liang Zhi, who had been silent, noticed Su Rui's words and asked: "Sir, I heard you just said that you want to bring back the security brigade? Do you want to reorganize them?"
Su Rui glanced at Liang Zhi appreciatively. This guy was worthy of being his chief of staff. He understood what he meant after only hearing half of what he said. He nodded and said, "Yes, since the security brigade has been exposed to everyone, then we It¡¯s time to stop being secretive. It¡¯s time to give them a formal organization. Otherwise, it¡¯s not good for the security brigades to keep shouting like this. I suggest that the ten security brigades be reorganized and then reorganized into two armies. No. They are tentatively designated as the New First Army and the New Second Army, what do you think?"
"I think so." Unexpectedly, the first person to agree was Liang Zhi, the chief of staff who was always known for his stability. "Anyway, our Chairman Chiang Kai-shek has never given us one dollar of military pay for each bullet. The Seventh Army is a designation we worked hard to come up with, so what if we just come up with a designation for ourselves?"
"I agree with what Chief of Staff Liang said." Li Yifeng first gave Liang Zhi a thumbs-up and then said: "Since Chairman Chiang can put pressure on us through the Americans, this is enough to show that he wants to break up with them. Anyway, everyone has already fallen out with each other, so let¡¯s stop pretending to him. Commander Su, you can just send a telegram to Commander Li. What¡¯s the point of being the commander of the fifth theater? You¡¯re suffering in vain. Not to mention, when the war starts, we still have to guard against the Central Army¡¯s obstruction. It would be great to just go back to our fourth theater and fight the Japanese together, don¡¯t you think so?¡±
"Eh I think what Commander Li said makes sense. Don't mention it. Although Lao Li is always out of tune, he is right about this. Anyway, Commander Li is the commander of the fifth theater. It's not going well, so we might as well come back. I believe that if Chief Li joins us, we will be sure to fight the Japanese." Zheng Shaoyu on the side also supported Li Yifeng's words.
"Go, go, go, what do you mean by being indifferent? I am called wise, do you understand?" It was rare for someone to praise him, and Li Yifeng couldn't help but smile proudly.
Liang Zhi and Yu Xueying looked at each other, nodded in unison and said in unison: "Sir, the staff also thinks this is very reasonable."
"Um¡¡"
Seeing how everyone supported Li Yifeng's words, Su Rui started to think deeply. He knew Li Zongren's talents. To be honest, Su Rui had always believed that although in another time and space, future generations' impressions of Li Zongren were limited to his military talents and the great victory at Taierzhuang. Although he thought he was a very good general, Su Rui believed that in fact, Li Zongren's ability in domestic affairs was by no means worse than his military ability, or even exceeded it.
This is not unfounded. The fact that he can take root in the economically backward Guangxi and turn Guangxi into the only province in the country with a complete reserve system is enough to prove his talent.
Moreover, Su Rui currently lacks a capable internal affairs talent. Although Zhang Zhizhong is doing a good job in Guangdong, he is only limited to Guangdong province after all, and if he has the ability to take charge of the overall situation, he is not as good as Li Zongren. If you can get this man with both civil and military skills by your side, your life will be much easier in the future.
Thinking of this, Su ?The corners of ??'s mouth couldn't help but curl up
