Lin Xiaotang's words made Xiao Shanling a little depressed. Although it was expected, it still had a hint of desolation. Xiao Shanling and Lin Xiaotang met at the most critical moment in Nanjing, and they had experienced the test of life and death. He thought to himself that He knew Lin Xiaotang well, but as soon as he said such decisive words, Xiao Shanling did feel more passive than ever before. You, Lin Xiaotang, don¡¯t want to be a sinner of the nation, do you think I, Ling Xiaoshan, want to do that? Ling Xiaoshan suppressed his inner unhappiness and said slowly: "But after all, this is an order issued by the government, and a telegram personally sent by the Chairman. , If you disobey the order, it means betrayal of the government and the supreme leader. Xiaoqi, you have to understand that this situation is different from the situation in Nanjing. "Xiao Shanling took a deep breath, a little rude. Interrupting Lin Xiaotang's tendency to interrupt, he continued: "Now that you and I bear important responsibilities for the country, it is not that I want to give up the current hard-won situation, but that if you and I are not careful, the country will be trapped in We are in a passive situation. We are surrounded by soldiers from all sides. We have a hundred thousand brothers under our command. Once we confront the Americans, what kind of situation will we face?¡± Brother Wan's life and death, just talking about the benefits that the country can get after the war, will be greatly reduced. Today's victory, needless to say, you also understand how hard-won it is. I am afraid that because of one of my own moves, Wrong, the whole game will be lost." Xiao Shanling kept talking for almost twenty minutes, until his voice became hoarse and his voice became hoarse, then he stopped and picked up the tea cup. "I am confident that the Americans will give up interfering with our troops stationed in Japan." Lin Xiaotang said calmly. It was these words that made Xiao Shanling spit out a sip of tea, splashing on the desk. Lin Xiaotang wiped off the water stains on the chest of his general uniform, and looked at Xiao Shanling quietly. However, Xiao Shanling seemed to be under a spell, staring at Lin Xiaotang with wide eyes, as if he had never known this person before. "What nonsense are you talking about? How can you do something that the chairman of the committee and so many people can't do?" Xiao Shanling, who recovered from the shock, burst out instantly, and the fire that had been accumulated in his heart suddenly burned. . Lin Xiaotang smiled bitterly, "To be honest, I didn't expect that the government would really be willing to give up the current good situation. My original plan was that after the war, the whole world was longing for peace. We captured Kyushu with lightning speed, and the Americans' Their attitude is certain, they will never give up the opportunity to compete for global hegemony, including in Asia, but even so, I am sure that the Americans will not easily start a war again, especially within the allies." Lin Xiaotang sighed, "But I really didn't expect that the national government would give up the right to station troops in Japan so easily. It is conceivable that the conditions proposed by the Americans must be something that the Chairman cannot refuse. As for what the conditions are, I think Commander Xiao must You can guess it." Xiao Shanling nodded silently. We are all smart people, so there is no need to say something so clearly. "I still underestimated the Chairman's thoughts," Lin Xiaotang said in a low tone. "In contrast, the Americans have an extremely good understanding of his psychology. The conditions they proposed hit his weak spot at once." "Then you said you can make the Americans compromise." Xiao Shanling asked angrily. What he couldn't understand was that Lin Xiaotang had clearly seen the current situation, but yet he said such a meaningless statement. Come on, isn't this deliberately causing trouble for yourself? Lin Xiaotang replied quietly: "Actually, if there is no way out, I really don't want to use this trump card, because once this trump card is activated, I will become a thorn in the eyes and flesh of the Americans, and the Americans will take all possible measures They used various methods to suppress and assassinate me. Also, we insisted on staying in Japan. Although the Nationalist Government would not do anything on the surface, it would actually treat us as rebels. You can imagine the difficulties that followed. "Looking at Xiao Shan Ling's thoughtful look, Lin Xiaotang added: "There is something I want to tell the commander. Before the government issued the order to withdraw the troops, I sent someone to take the wife and children to a safe place. " Xiao Shan Ling. He was slightly startled, and then there was a tendency to explode. Lin Xiaotang waved his hand gently, "Commander, please be patient. I definitely don't mean to threaten you. I just want to make some complete preparations. I don't want Commander Yang Hucheng to let you down." The general's footsteps are still behind bars. "Xiao Shanling immediately fell silent. Although he was not born in Huangpu, he spent more than 20 years in the army in the National Revolutionary Army. During this period, he fought in the north and south. , has never been regarded as a famous general in the national army. Until the Battle of Nanjing, he disobeyed orders and became famous. In fact, Xiao Shanling has not deliberately pursued success and fame for so many years.?As a pure Chinese soldier, all he wants is to resist foreign aggression, wrap his body in horse leather, and fulfill the duties of a Chinese soldier. However, for many years, this desire has been suppressed until he comes back again and joins the Chinese army. In the sequence of the expeditionary force, he was able to show his talents, make repeated military exploits, and become famous in history. Now, the scene that Xiao Shan Ling least wanted to see happened again. The contradiction between reality and ideal forced him to make a choice again, whether to advance or retreat. In one thought, a completely different life and history opened up. Xiao Shan Ling His fists were clenched, sweat dripping from his forehead. Lin Xiaotang said softly: "Commander, there is no need to be under too much pressure. I have already made a decision, but it does not mean that you must take the same path. I can tell the truth. I have arranged everything. When you return to Chongqing, you will be fine." You can put all the blame on me, and the Chairman of the Generalissimo will not blame you. Externally, I can claim that we launched the mutiny and forced you to leave the troops stationed in Japan. This will not affect your reputation, and " Xiao Shanling suddenly interrupted Lin Xiaotang, "What is your trump card?" Lin Xiaotang was stunned, and then shook his head, "You don't need to know, it will be bad for you." Xiao Shanling stood up and stood in the room. After turning around twice, he turned around and looked at Lin Xiaotang with piercing eyes, "You have solved all my worries and spoken so thoroughly. In fact, I also know that even if I return to Chongqing, I may not have any problems. Eat the good stuff, the best result is just to be abandoned again and find a place to die. I am already fifty-three years old, and I still have many years left to fight. Now that I have such an opportunity to show my face to others, It would be a pity to let it go in vain." Lin Xiaotang was a little surprised and was speechless. Ling Xiao Shan touched the white hair on his temples and couldn't help but smile bitterly, "You don't have to be surprised. I've thought about it clearly. I am the supreme commander of the troops stationed in Japan. If you escape from the battle, your life will be very difficult. Originally, I was most worried about It's my family. Now that you have solved this problem for me, I will be responsible for the next thing. Anyway, this is not the first time I have disobeyed orders. " "But, the ugly words are ahead, so. The supplies and equipment of the brothers will be handed over to you. Once it becomes a fait accompli, you also know that we will not receive any assistance. I don't want the brothers to throw their lives in this little devil's land. " Lin Xiaotang stood up, with moisture in his eyes, "Commander, you" After saying these words, Xiao Shanling felt relieved and felt much more relaxed all over, "Don't say that it's useless, there are things to do. There are many more, tell me your trump card first, so I don¡¯t know what to do.¡± Lin Xiaotang nodded with a smile, and asked Huo Yan outside to bring a brown paper bag to Xiao Shan Ling. Inside was a thick stack of manuscript paper, Xiao Shan Ling. He took it out and took a quick look at it, and couldn't help but take a breath of air, "You are absolutely right. If you give something like this to the Americans, the Americans will have trouble sleeping and eating." Hong Chawei these days It was easy. Chongqing had stated that it would urge the Chinese army to withdraw from Japan as soon as possible. Hong Chawei finally relieved his heart. He believed that Xiao Shanling and Lin Xiaotang were generals of the National Government after all. Unless they wanted to rebel, they would definitely To follow orders. As expected, it didn¡¯t take long before Lin Xiaotang came to the door. Hongchavi was a little proud. Looking at the young man in front of him who had never taken any advantage in his hands, Hongchavi felt a vanity of a victor in his heart. The game between countries depends on strength. How could a devastated China be an opponent of the prosperous United States of America? How could a mere Lin Xiaotang bargain with him? Although he also had Chinese ancestry, Hong Chawei had never regarded himself as a Chinese. "Have you made your decision?" Hong Chawei tried his best to start the conversation between him and Lin Xiaotang in a gentler tone, because he knew that Lin Xiaotang must be in a very unhappy mood at this time. Lin Xiaotang nodded, "Commander Xiao and I have already made a decision." "When will we set off, I will notify the fleet to help you return to the country." The coffee in his hand tasted much worse, but in Hong Chawei's mouth, at this time The coffee has a different taste, maybe it¡¯s due to my state of mind at this time. "The troops stationed in Japan will not evacuate. I am here to tell you our decision." "Pfft", the coffee in Hong Chawei's mouth spurted out, and even the front of his clothes got a lot of it, but at this time Hong Chawei Chawei's face changed drastically, and he didn't notice anything wrong with him at all. "What do you mean, I won't evacuate." Lin Xiaotang nodded expressionlessly, as if he was not surprised by Hong Chawei's reaction, "Yes, this is the last one. Decision." Hong Chawei stood up fiercely.??At this time, he was no longer as gentle as usual, "You have to understand what the consequences of what you say will be. What you do is contempt for the Allied Command and will disrupt the The Allied Forces' overall plan. ""Old Hong, I have no intention of negotiating terms with you." Lin Xiaotang threw the brown paper bag into Hong Chawei's arms, "I'll give you a day to see what these are and tell you immediately. The boss reported that I only have one day of patience. Once it exceeds this time tomorrow, I will immediately change to a new partner. "
