"The committee is not a question of whether we can endure it, but what we must endure." Qian Dajun calmed down and said: "Wu Ming is different from Han Fuju First of all, Wu Ming is a hero of the Anti-Japanese War created by the Chairman. , is the winner of two medals of the Blue Sky and White Sun, and the New Second Army was awarded the first tiger flag in the country's army. He is a model for the party-state army and the hope of the nation. Whether it is Wu Ming or the New Second Army he leads. It has an excellent reputation among the people. Once we take action, we will definitely lose the support of the people." "Secondly, the core of the New Second Army is Wu Ming. From the commanders of each division to the ordinary soldiers, they are all loyal to Wu Ming. They are far more loyal to Wu Ming than the rabble led by Han Fuju. If we want to move Wu Ming, it will inevitably cause a strong backlash from the entire New Second Army, and the situation in Zhejiang will not be ruined. " "Furthermore, the New Second Army is well-trained, well-equipped, and brave in fighting. Once the party-state puts Wu Ming under house arrest, It will definitely lead to the alienation of the department. When the front battlefield is in need of personnel, it is really not worth losing such a powerful force." "Yes, Commissioner Qian is right." Dai Li echoed: "Commissioner, the Japanese army is marching. If Xuzhou is pressed hard, Kaifeng and Luoyang will be in danger. Judging from all aspects of the situation, the Japanese army will never be satisfied with just opening up the Jinpu Railway and occupying the coastal areas. Once the Jinpu Railway and Longhai Railway are attacked. If the Heping-Han Railway falls into the hands of the Japanese army, Wuhan will also be directly threatened." "In short, the main enemy we are facing now is the Japanese government and army who are trying to destroy our country. The New Second Army is the Anti-Japanese Iron Army. You have just awarded The New Second Army's Tiger Banner, in order to stabilize the situation in Zhejiang and ensure the safety of Fenghua, we must rely on the New Second Army. Please think twice before acting." "That's all I understand what you mean. It's during the war now. Let him go." Chiang Kai-shek was a mature politician who knew how to make the right choice, but this exchange finally allowed him to express his grievances, and he felt much better. After pondering for a while, Chiang Kai-shek asked again: "Although we can't take any action against Wu Ming now, we can't leave him and the New Second Army alone. After all, the New Second Army is already too big to lose. If they continue to get bigger, how will we deal with it in the future?" "We must not take it lightly." "The commissioner is right. Wu Ming already has a warlord faction. We eliminated the warlords as early as ten years ago. Now we cannot allow new warlords to be born, so we must deal with Wu Ming and others." The New Second Army will impose restrictions," Qian Dajun said in agreement. Dai Li was not to be outdone, and flattered him: "The principal is really far-sighted, and the students admire him very much." "Okay don't give me the ecstasy soup." Chiang Kai-shek waved his hand and asked: "Think carefully, we should What measures should be taken against the New Second Army? " Chiang Kai-shek's question stumped Qian Dajun and Dai Li. Wu Ming held a large number of troops, and he almost managed the Quzhou area into a state within a state. The New Second Army has performed outstandingly since the Battle of Songhu. Wu Ming has been regarded as a military god by the people across the country, and the New Second Army is also known as the "Yue Family" of the Republic of China. military". It is extremely difficult to deal with such a character, who must be substantially restrained and restricted, and who cannot be alienated from his moral character. Dai Li blinked his eyes and thought about his suggestion for a while: "Principal, war is now raging in North China, the Central Plains and Central China, and various departments of the Central Army have suffered heavy losses. I think it is better to dispatch the New Second Army to go north to the Central Plains to participate in the war. This can reduce the casualties of the direct troops, which will be heavy. Attacking the Japanese army will also consume the strength of the New Second Army. As long as they fight a few tough battles in a row, it will be difficult for the New Second Army not to be disabled." "That's not appropriate, it's very wrong." Qian Dajun shook his head decisively: "The New Second Army's The combat effectiveness of the New Second Army has been fully proven in the battles of Songhu and Linhang. The performance of other armies worsened as they fought, and deserters were everywhere. But the New Second Army was different. Every time it encountered a fatal situation, the New Second Army The army can always win unexpectedly" "Just imagine that the Lin'an front line in Hangzhou is surrounded by the 2nd, 4th, 7th and 18th divisions. Are you going to let the tiger return to the mountain and let the dragon go into the sea? Such troops are getting stronger as they fight. They must not give the New Second Army another chance to make contributions." Chiang Kai-shek took a sip of tea, frowned and thought for a while, and nodded in agreement: "Mu Yin is right. , Once the New Second Army has organized and trained its troops and fought a few more great victories against the Japanese army, I¡¯m afraid we won¡¯t be able to allow it to expand. By that time, no one will be able to control Wu Ming.¡± When the plan failed, Dai Li immediately He came up with a plan: "Otherwise, we transfer Fang Youchun out of Quzhou and hand over the position of administrative commissioner to someone we trust, so as to constrain Wu Ming." "This won't work either." Qian Dajun said: "Although Fang Youchun is Wu Ming My brother-in-law, but he is an old-fashioned and upright person. He was unhappy with Wu Ming because of the tax issue. If we transfer Fang Youchun and replace the administrative commissioner with someone else, I am very worried that Wu Ming will take the opportunity to take all the power of the Quzhou party, government and military. In his hands, by that time, Wu Ming will really be the local emperor of Quzhou." ?Qian Dajun rejected his idea, and Dai Li was greatly frustrated: "Sir Qian, what do you mean" "Since ancient times, the birds have died, the good bows have been hidden, the cunning rabbits have died, and the lackeys have been cooked. But Now is not the time for victory. The party and the country are facing an unprecedented crisis. To restore the current strategic decline, we need people like Wu Ming to work hard. The best way now is to remain unchanged and wait for the situation to change. Dajun stroked the tea cup and expressed his opinion. "Ah doesn't that mean we don't do anything?" Dai Li said anxiously. Qian Dajun gritted his teeth and said painfully: "Perhaps, what we can do is to make some fuss about the issue of military pay for the New Second Army" "Mother Xipi, it seems that we can only play with the military pay " Chiang Kai-shek cursed bitterly, and then fell into deep thought. While Chiang Kai-shek was studying Wu Ming and the New Second Army, Wu Ming and his trusted generals also held a meeting to study Chiang Kai-shek. The entire ten counties in Quzhou were basically under the control of the New Second Army. The news of Chiang Kai-shek's assassination was strictly blocked. All the officers and soldiers involved and witnesses All the people were ordered not to leak secrets. Long Shaogang coughed slightly and cursed loudly: "Mother Xipi, the Japanese are too evil. They don't come early or come late. But it happened that Chiang Kai-shek sent people to cause trouble when he inspected, and even tricked our soldiers from the New Second Army to assassinate Chiang Kai-shek. , but they have caused so much trouble to us, these Japanese devils-" "Okay, Old Long, they won't hear you when you scold the little devils now. Save your energy," Zhang Dongning advised, turning to look at Wu Ming: " "Military seat, the assassination of Chairman Chiang in our Quzhou has completely destroyed the relationship between our New Second Army and old Chiang Kai-shek." He also rescued the four gangsters He Sanbao As a result, the relationship between our New Second Army, the Central Committee, and Chairman Chiang may no longer be able to be bridged." When Zhang Dongning said this, Wu Ming's old face changed. Hong: "We are already at odds with each other, so let's break up. Let's talk about it. What should we do next?" Zhang Dongning and Long Shaogang looked at each other. Zhang Dongning was a little uninterested: "Everyone is offended. What can we do now we can only use troops to block the water and flood the soil, and use them as soon as possible." "You are too negative." Wu Ming shook his head and smiled. Long Shaogang leaned over and said, "Military seat, what do you think?" "You guys, if you think carefully about the current Sino-Japanese war situation, you will know that our New Second Army is actually as stable as a rock." Wu Ming took a sip of tea and continued. : "Now that the war is in turmoil, our New Second Army is a powerful force built on solid military exploits. As long as the war of resistance does not end, Chairman Chiang will not stab him in the back Of course, there are definitely conspiracies and tricks, and we have to be on guard against them. "He is trying to kill the donkey." "How can we guard against Chairman Chiang who occupies the central government's rightful position?" Zhang Dongning interrupted. "As long as we are strong enough and have achieved enough military exploits and honors, Chairman Chiang will have to consider the impact and worry about the consequences of forcing us to rebel." Wu Ming smiled faintly: "However, a series of problems that occurred during Chairman Chiang's inspection, We must make rectifications and make up for it, and we will never allow similar things to happen again By the way, Lao Long, how is the training program? " "I have asked the combat department to draw up a new training plan, and we will take a break at the end of February. When it ends, everyone will immediately switch to training," Long Shaogang replied. "Training alone is not enough." Wu Ming shook his head: "Old Long, I'm not too worried about military training. What I'm worried about now is political and ideological education. Wu Zhe betrayed us for his family because we didn't pay enough attention to political and ideological education. Next step, It is necessary to add a series of political propaganda and education to the training syllabus, so that everyone can understand the spirit of caring for everyone at home and sacrificing personal achievements for the collective. In addition, the family members of the middle and senior officers of the New Second Army must all move into Maoliangwu and be properly protected and centralized. "Management" After a pause, Wu Ming continued: "As for political and ideological education, Lao Long can consult Chiang Ching-kuo, or refer to the experience of the Chinese Communist Army. We must completely eliminate hidden dangers." "Military seat, our relationship with Chiang Kai-shek." The trouble has reached this point, and you are still thinking about exploiting Xiao Jiang. It's really your fault." Zhang Dongning joked with a smile. Mentioning Chiang Ching-kuo, Wu Ming suddenly remembered something: "After this inspection, the relationship between us and Chiang Kai-shek fell to a freezing point. It is estimated that Chiang Ching-kuo will leave us in Dongning soon. Can those political workers who studied with Chiang Ching-kuo stir up trouble? "Daliang?" "No problem," Zhang Dongning replied. "That's good. What we need is a powerful force with strong political and first-class military qualities, not a weakling who can only fight but is easily shaken." Wu Ming was silent for a while and said: "Most of the officers and soldiers of the Maoliangwu Militia have been transferred to the New Second Army. We must persist in building the army, militia and militia. I suggest that the scale of the Maoliangwu militia be further expanded.Double the size, preferably to the size of twenty regiments. " "However, as a result, our logistics will be under great pressure. Moreover, the troop expansion is imminent, and we are supporting the fifth theater area with a batch of weapons and ammunition. The inventory is seriously insufficient" Zhang Dongning said with concern: "There must be some leftovers." Let¡¯s get something to keep the bottom of the warehouse down.¡± ¡°Okay, Dongning, don¡¯t be petty.¡± Wu Ming said with a stern expression: ¡°Japan has already implemented a general mobilization system. With Japan¡¯s national strength, I¡¯m afraid it won¡¯t take more than a year. The Japanese army¡¯s new Army divisions will gradually enter the battlefield in China Within a year at most, the Japanese army will advance from Hangzhou and Lin'an to western Zhejiang and eastern Jiangxi. An unprecedented fierce battle will break out in Quzhou, where our New Second Army is located"
