    Tongbai Mountain is located in the transition zone from the Qinling Mountains to the Dabie Mountains. The area has beautiful peaks, many mountains, dense forests, numerous waterfalls and springs, and beautiful scenery.

    On the mountainside of a mountain deep in Tongbai Mountain, several small courtyards are surrounded by large trees and strange rocks all over the mountain, standing in an orderly manner among the mountains.  In a small courtyard, Li Zongren, commander of the Fifth War Zone of the National Revolutionary Army, stood in front of the courtyard, looking at the beautiful scenery at the foot of the mountain with a calm expression. Chief of Staff Xu Zuyi and a lieutenant general with a medium build, a dark complexion and a resolute look on his face.  He stood quietly behind him and said nothing.

    After a while, Li Zongren said: "Yan Mou, Yan Nong, what do you think of this call from Zhongxin?"

    Xu Zuyi smiled bitterly and said: "Gong De, you have confused me about this matter. I really don't know what to say."

    "Huh?" Li Zongren raised his thick eyebrows and continued to ask calmly: "Okay, Yannong, tell me."

    The middle-aged general standing behind Li Zongren with Xu Zuyi was another general under Li Zongren, Lieutenant General Liao Kai, who was then the guerrilla commander-in-chief of the Henan-Hubei-Anhui Border Region, Chairman of Anhui Province, Provincial Security Commander, and Provincial Military District Commander.

    As one of Li Zongren¡¯s subordinates, Liao Kai is naturally no ordinary person. He has very high vision, ability and standards.  Unlike Xu Zuyi, who is known for his stability, Liao Kai's character is known for his boldness and outspokenness.  He took a step forward and said loudly: "Gong De, what else is there to consider? As the saying goes, don't trust the people you use and don't use them. Now that we have formed an alliance with Chief Su, Chief Su and Chief Bai have laid down a huge enemy in the southeast region.  This territory is at the time of employing people. Since Mr. Su has called and asked you to come over and take charge of the overall situation, that¡¯s a good thing. I really can¡¯t think of any reason not to go.¡±

    "Haha" Li Zongren laughed and glanced at Liao Kai sideways: "It's better for you. Don't forget, I am also the commander-in-chief of the fifth theater. If I leave this stall and run away  Guangzhou, what if the Japanese take the opportunity to attack us? Won't the fifth theater be in chaos?"

    Liao Kai curled his lips and said, "Gong De. The first person the Japanese have to deal with now is Commander Su. For this goal, they have deployed nearly half of their troops to Xianning and Huangshi. How can they have any extra troops to deal with us?"  . In my opinion, your only concern now is probably how to explain to Chairman Chiang, right?"

    "Hahaha" Li Zongren laughed, pointed at Liao Kai and said with a smile: "You Liao Yannong, you are still so unforgiving. You really don't give me any face."

    Li Zongren, who was very familiar with Liao Kai's temper, was not angry either. Yaoyao said helplessly, "Boy, if you don't change your temper, you will suffer a lot if you get to Commander Su in the future."

    Liao Kai smiled nonchalantly: "Gong De, I heard that Commander Su is also a good-tempered commander. I guess he won'tehGong De. You mean we are going to the fourth theater?"  "It was only then that Liao Kai realized it.

    Li Zongren nodded with a smile: "Yes, in fact, I have been waiting for this telegram from Zhongxin. But it has been almost half a year before this telegram came to me, and I really can't wait." Yan Mou  , you still don¡¯t agree with me going?¡± When he said this last sentence, Li Zongren turned his eyes to Xu Zuyi behind him.  Looking at him with a smile.

    Hearing what Li Zongren said, Xu Zuyi was shocked, and quickly raised his chest and said: "Sir, it's not that the staff department is unwilling, but that the staff department believes that the great cause of the Anti-Japanese War should be given priority now. If there is a quarrel with Chairman Chiang,  There is no benefit to us. Once you resign as the commander-in-chief of the Fifth War Zone, it will officially mean that we part ways with Chongqing, and there will be no room for reconciliation in the future."

    Li Zongren nodded slightly: "Yan Mou, this is also a mature and prudent idea. But have you ever thought about it? Now the Chairman of the Generalissimo has secretly sent his wife to the United States to ask for help. Zhongxin has made it very clear in the telegram that Madam Chiang has proposed to the United States to increase  The request for large-scale aid to China is expected to arm twenty art divisions of the Central Army within three years. Don¡¯t you still know what this means? Also. They also asked Zhongxin to hand over Fujian to their management.

    Well, it stands to reason that all power belongs to the central government, and the central government has the right to order us to do anything, including troop mobilization, personnel appointments, etc., but have you ever thought about what the consequences will be in the future once we obey Chongqing¡¯s orders?  I'm afraid the best outcome for me, Jiansheng and Zhongxin is to go overseas and never come back for the rest of our lives.  "

    Having said this, Li Zongren sighed slightly: "Alas Chairman Chiang is still not broad-minded enough after all. The Japanese have not been driven out of China, so are they so impatient to fight with each other? Why are we in such a hurry!"

    The surrounding area became quiet. Although the surrounding scenery was very charming, no one had the time to appreciate the scenery.Love

    In the Chairman¡¯s Office of the Chiang Family Residence

    Holding the telegram just sent from the attendant's office, Chairman Jiang sighed: "Hey Li Delin is leaving too. After all, he can't let go of his petty profits."

    He Yingqin, Chen Cheng, Dai Li and Chen Brai and other important military and political officials stood quietly in front of the desk. No one dared to say a word first for fear of offending their boss.

    After a long time, Chairman Jiang came back from his deep thoughts and said to Chen Bulei: "Respectfully, you are the Minister of Military and Political Affairs. After Li Delin left, the position of Commander-in-Chief of the Fifth Theater Zone became vacant. Who do you think should take over?"  ah?"

    He Yingqin stepped forward and said respectfully: "Commissioner, the fifth war zone includes the Henan, Hubei, and Anhui regions. The strategic location is extremely important, and the people there are strong and strong. A resolute and courageous person is needed to take charge. Therefore, I think Wei Lihuang can be appointed."  Transferred to the fifth theater and served as commander-in-chief of the fifth theater."

    "No!" At this time, Chen Cheng stepped forward and said: "The fifth theater is important, isn't the second theater and the Shanxi battlefield not important? Junru (Wei Lihuang) did a good job in the World War II area, with him  Yan Baichuan (Yan Xishan) has only been so honest in the past two years. If he is suddenly transferred to the fifth theater, I am afraid that Shanxi will be unstable again."

    "Hmph!" He Yingqin snorted softly: "Since ancient times, what the military has valued is soldiers with solid camps and flowing water. Junru did a very good job in Shanxi, but this does not mean that he will not be able to move around after leaving the World War II zone.  , we can definitely let others step up, for example Zhu Shaoliang is good."

    "Zhu Shaoliang has just been transferred to the Eighth War Zone, and now he is suddenly transferred to the Second World War Zone. Isn't it too frequent?" Chen Cheng had a fight with He Yingqin today.

    "Why does it happen so often? Don't you know"

    "Okay, okay, stop arguing!" Seeing his two most respected generals arguing back and forth, Chairman Chiang waved his hand impatiently.

    In fact, Chairman Chiang knew the reason for the quarrel between He Yingqin and Chen Cheng. He Yingqin had long coveted the position of commander of the World War II zone, and he had been secretly flirting with Yan Xishan in the past few years. Naturally, he did not want to see the Wei who belonged to Chen Cheng's faction.  Li Huang has been sitting in the position of commander of the World War II area for a long time. Now that he has this opportunity in a few days, he will not let it go.

    After touching his head and thinking for a while, Chairman Jiang said: "Let's do it as Jingzhi said, transfer Junru to the Fifth Theater Zone to replace Li Delin, and then transfer Zhu Shaoliang to the World War II Zone to replace Junru.  seat."

    At this point, Chairman Chiang glanced at Chen Cheng and consoled him: "The United States sent a telegram the day before yesterday. Su Zhong has formally rejected the United States' request to hand over Fujian to us. Humph, this kind of lack of centrality  Sooner or later I will deal with these people in the future, but before that we still have to strengthen our own strength. President Roosevelt agreed to some of our demands under his wife's lobbying. He promised to deal with them indiscriminately within a year.  We will provide us with art equipment for three to five divisions in the form of interest loans. The earliest equipment for the two art divisions will arrive at the port within two months. I plan to give priority to equipping these two art division equipment to the 18th Army.  , what do you think?"

    When Chen Cheng heard this, he couldn't help but trembled. He quickly stood at attention, saluted and said loudly: "Thank you, Chairman, for cultivating me. I will swear allegiance to the leader to the death and be loyal to the party and the country."

    Hearing this, everyone¡¯s eyes showed envy, but they were not surprised by this result.  After all, politics is an art of mutual compromise. Don¡¯t think that politics is such a profound thing. Sometimes politics is just that simple. The method of coaxing children by sitting in rows and sharing fruits is a common method used by kindergarten teachers to coax children.  s method.  After all, He Yingqin had already taken advantage of him, so naturally he was not responsible for this matter.

    The Eighteenth Army is Chen Cheng¡¯s direct and trusted army. The title of Chen Cheng¡¯s Civil Engineering Department evolved from the Eighteenth Army.  Now Chairman Chiang has given priority to equipping the two art masters to the Eighteenth Army, which is naturally a compensation for what happened just now.

    After settling this matter, Chairman Chiang steeled himself and said to everyone: "Okay, now that this matter has been settled, we have to consider another matter. Now the Japanese have put their  The main focus was on Su Zhongxin and the Fujian and Jiangxi provinces he had just occupied, and he also stopped attacking us. According to the estimates of the staff, we have at least half a year to rest and recuperate, so during this half year, our  The main task is to train the troops and strengthen their combat effectiveness. When the Japanese and Su Zhongxin are fighting to the death, we will launch a fatal blow to the Japanese and drive the Japanese out of China. Do you have confidence?"

    "I am willing to die for the party and the country!" Everyone agreed
