On June 20, inside the headquarters of the 98th Army in Jiyuan. "Military seat, the Chairman sent another telegram urging us to send troops." Jiang Mengyun said to Lu Mingxuan while holding a telegram. "I understand." Lu Mingxuan threw it aside after reading the message. ¡° Having just recovered Qingdao and Tianjin, he sent them south without even giving them any time to rest and recuperate. The Chairman is really going too far. "How is our plan prepared?" Lu Mingxuan asked. "It's almost done, you can activate it at any time." Jiang Mengyun said to him. "Then order them to start." Lu Mingxuan said with a long sigh. Have you finally reached this point? If he takes this step, I'm afraid there will be no room for maneuver in his relationship with Chiang Kai-shek. "Yes, military seat." But Jiang Mengyun did not leave, but showed a hesitant expression on his face. "Is there anything else you can do?" "Military seat, if our army attacks the Northeast with all its strength, it will definitely be violently bombarded by the Japanese fleet. Even if we have a large number of aircraft, I am afraid we will suffer huge losses. Isn't it too much for us to do this? The gain is not worth the loss." Jiang Mengyun said with a frown. In order to protect Northeast China, the Japanese Navy will definitely fight tooth and nail. By then, they will not face a dozen warships, but almost the entire Japanese fleet. "It doesn't matter, I will use our secret weapon this time." Lu Mingxuan said with a smile. "Secret weapon? I wonder which secret force the army plans to use?" Jiang Mengyun said doubtfully. "Sea Eagle Force!" "Sea Eagle Force? That SS-level secret force?" Jiang Mengyun suddenly realized. Lu Mingxuan smiled and nodded. As Lu Mingxuan¡¯s confidential secretary, Jiang Mengyun has a deep understanding of the secrets of the 98th Army. The 98th Army has several units with very high confidentiality levels. One of the troops had a confidentiality level as high as SSS, and she only knew of its existence. She didn't even know what it was for. Lu Mingxuan may be the only person in the entire army who knows about that unit. The Sea Eagle Force is one of the secret forces second only to that force. This force was secretly established last year and has been training for more than 8 months. The entire 98th Army knows of its existence. There were only 3 people including her. "Can the Sea Eagle force be able to deal with the Japanese fleet?" Jiang Mengyun said with some worry. She knew that the weapon of the Seahawks was a very magical weapon, but she had never seen how powerful that weapon was. "If they can, just believe them." Lu Mingxuan said with great certainty. How can people today understand the advantages and disadvantages of epoch-making weapons, let alone the current Japanese fleet, even in another 50 years. Even the small Japanese fleet will retreat when it encounters the Sea Eagle. Jiang Mengyun could only nod helplessly, and then went to carry out Lu Mingxuan's order. ****** ****** ****** ¡°The newspaper was sold! The newspaper was sold!! The 98th Army disobeyed the central government¡¯s orders and was exposed! The top leaders of the Kuomintang encouraged the internal personnel of the 98th Army to betray the 98th Army! This triggered a strong backlash from Lu Mingxuan! " "The military commander once again took action against the 98th Army, inciting internal personnel of the 98th Army to assassinate Lu Mingxuan, and tried to annex the 98th Army without any blood. Lu Mingxuan, the commander of the 98th Army, took decisive action to eliminate the internal traitors! " On June 21, the streets and alleys across the country resounded again! The crisp sound of the newsboy selling newspapers. Hearing such sensational news, people on the streets rushed to buy newspapers. ¡°Give me one quickly!¡± ¡°I want one too!¡± ¡°¡¡± It didn¡¯t take long. The newspapers in the hands of the newsboys were sold out. Although the newspapers in their hands were all sold out and the newsboys made a lot of money, there was not much joy on the faces of the newsboys, but instead they were full of worries. Because they are also patriotic, they all know that it is definitely not a good thing for China if this incident breaks out at this time. Maybe China will fall into the brink of civil war again. And this is something that all conscientious Chinese people absolutely do not want to see. ¡°It¡¯s no time and we are still busy fighting among ourselves. Internal fighting is really damaging the country!!¡± "The Chairman is confused. How can he still think about annexing the troops of the 98th Army now that the enemy is facing him?" After reading this newspaper, people finally understood the conflict between the 98th Army and the Kuomintang that happened in the newspaper a while ago. Suddenly I realized that the truth of the matter was actually like this. At the same time, many people were also filled with immense anger towards Chiang Kai-shek. Now that the enemy is facing the enemy, he actually wants to annex the troops of the meritorious generals. This is really chilling. After learning about this incident, many reporters rushed to Jiyuan and Wuhan, and then asked the Wuhan National Government and the 98th Army to verify the authenticity of this incident. Although the Wuhan National Government categorically denied this incident, the 98th Army admitted the matter very generously and declared a state of emergency. Unless the top leaders of the Communist Party of China can give a satisfactory explanation, they will temporarily reject it. Accept any orders from the top brass. After learning about this incident, the whole country was once again in an uproar. What is this? Mutiny? People are all worried about this kind of thing. Will China fall into the brink of civil war again? But soon the top leaders of the Kuomintang realized it, and their land-washing parties also mobilized one after another, and then accused Lu Mingxuan in newspapers and radio stations of simply confusing the public. He clearly refused to obey the central government's orders and instead found fault with his own behavior. Excuse. Lu Mingxuan had expected all this. Not only did his "98th Army Daily" report on the incident at length, some of his literati had already written a lot of wonderful articles. He used and those The war correspondents had pretty good connections and quickly sent a large number of manuscripts to their newspapers. For a time, the public opinion war between the 98th Army and the top leaders of the Kuomintang filled people's attention. There were voices of them blaming each other everywhere, and they were even ready to fight. And of course the Japanese almost laughed out loud when they found out about this. Almost all Japanese media have continuously reported on this matter, and ridiculed the Chinese people, accusing China of being a nation that only knows how to fight among itself. Of course, the Japanese government did not give up this precious time. They quickly formed fully-equipped divisions and then transported them to China. "Mother Xipi! This Lu Mingxuan is really an ambitious man! If I had known this, I should have wiped him out at all costs." On June 25, in the Presidential Palace in Wuhan, Chiang Kai-shek almost roared. Just now, he sent away a group of well-known figures in the education field. These people came to persuade him, hoping that he could stay calm and not use force against the 98th Army, lest the little devils take advantage of him. He doesn¡¯t know how many lobbying teams he has seen recently. They include not only domestic celebrities, but also some foreign ambassadors. ? Almost without exception, they all hope that he can maintain restraint. How can this prevent him from feeling extremely angry? It¡¯s obviously Lu Mingxuan who doesn¡¯t want to give the central government face! Of course, Chiang Kai-shek has automatically filtered his attempt to secretly annex the 98th Army. "Chairman. The matter has come to this, so what should we do next?" Chen Cheng said to Chiang Kai-shek with a wry smile. He was initially opposed to Chiang Kai-shek's behavior, but Chiang Kai-shek had already made a decision, and as a subordinate, he could only work hard to implement it. "What do you think of us going to war with the 98th Army?" Chiang Kai-shek suddenly asked. "Chairman of the Generalissimo, you must calm down. This war cannot be fought! Now that we are facing a powerful enemy, it is the time when our country needs unity. If we start a civil war, then the Japanese will definitely benefit, and by then we will be on the verge of subjugation. Extermination is not far away," Chen Cheng said quickly. "No! You misunderstood me. I mean if we go to war with the 98th Army, who will win in the end?" Chiang Kai-shek suddenly said meaningfully. "Is this" Chen Cheng was a little confused for a moment, but he had never thought about this problem before. "Dai Li. Please report to Cixiu on the strength of the 98th Army." Chiang Kai-shek said to Dai Li. "As ordered, Chairman." Dai Li said quickly. He is very familiar with the situation of the 98th Army. You don¡¯t even have to read the information, you just open your mouth. "According to the information we have now, the 98th Army has deployed two armored divisions and about three anti-aircraft artillery battalions in the Pingjin area. They have three air force bases in Xuzhou, Shangqiu and Zhoukou. Since the liberation of Tianjin and Qingdao, the 190th Division, Two independent mechanized infantry brigadesA large number of heavy tank battalions also retreated to these places for rest and recuperation. " "Of course these are the troops of the 98th Army outside their home base. According to our estimates, they have more troops in Jiyuan. In addition to the announced motorized infantry division and two independent tank battalions, they have more troops in Jiyuan. There are also 200,000 troops in training. " "200,000! This is impossible! " Chen Cheng said almost sharply. "This is all true, and this may be just the most conservative estimate. The real number may be more than this. Once the training of these troops is completed, it will be a disaster for us and the little devils. " Dai Li said very seriously. "Then how much money do they use to support so many troops? It costs a lot of money to support so many troops! " Chen Cheng still said in disbelief. "We buy a large number of weapons from him every month. So far we have spent at least more than 200 million French currency. " "so much? " Chen Cheng couldn't help but open his mouth in surprise. Chiang Kai-shek nodded silently. More than 200 million French currency is definitely a huge sum of money for the current National Government. "And he also opened a large number of factories. According to our intelligence, those factories They all seem very profitable. " Dai Li continued. "So the 98th Army's finances are very generous, and they can afford another 300,000 yuan. "Of course Dai Li still doesn't understand that the 98th Army has signed an arms sales agreement with the Germans, and soon he will have another 700 million German marks in his account. "And they have set up a large number of recruitment points in North China because of this war. Many refugees were produced. The recruitment conditions of the 98th Army are very favorable, so now the strength of the 98th Army has expanded even more. " After listening to his words, Chen Cheng realized the seriousness of the problem. "This is also the reason why I have to deal with the 98th Army in advance. Otherwise, do you think the world is still mine after the Japanese are finished? " Chiang Kai-shek suddenly said meaningfully. After listening to his words, Chen Cheng couldn't help but fell silent. After a long time, he said: "If all this is true, then if we fight head-on with the 98th Army, both sides will lose in the end. At that time, it will only be cheaper for the Japanese. " Chiang Kai-shek and Dai Li also nodded, and they deeply agreed with Chen Cheng's point of view. The key now is what they should do next? Originally, they planned to use the 98th Army to fight the Japanese, but now it seems that this step It is obviously a failure. And the 98th Army obviously intends to no longer obey their orders, and may even establish a separate mountain. "Chairman, didn't the 98th Army propose to let them recover the Northeast alone at the last Luoyang meeting? " Chen Cheng thought for a while and said. "That's right. " Chiang Kai-shek seems to have thought of something? "We can order them to go to liberate Northeast China and let them fight with the Japanese. In order to preserve the Northeast, the Japanese will definitely fight them desperately. This time the Japanese decided to form 30 divisions. Even if the 98th Army could regain the Northeast, they would be severely damaged. " Chen Cheng thought for a while and said. "That makes sense. If we let go of the Japanese army in central China, they will probably invest more than 20 divisions in the Northeast. "Chiang Kai-shek thought for a while and said. "In this way, they will both lose. " The more Chiang Kai-shek thought about it, the more reasonable it became. That was 20 divisions and 400,000 troops. After destroying so many troops, the 98th Army would suffer heavy losses anyway, and it would be time for him to come out and clean up the mess. Finally, he finally made a decision: ¡°Okay, that¡¯s it, I will order them to take back the Northeast alone. Cixiu, why don't you go to Jiyuan in person this time and explain it? " "Okay, leave this matter to me. ¡± ps: Thank you very much to nkj8084, the one leaf boat drifting in the wind and Juventus for the reward.
