Ms. Weitling came early the next day, apparently because she was afraid that Zhuo Fei would go out early, and Zhuo Fei had just chewed the last bite of the fried egg into his stomach when his guards came in to report that Ms. Weitling had already entered the door. "Welcome, Ms. Weitling." Zhuo Fei, who was interrupted from eating, not only did not get annoyed, but stood on the porch to greet the visiting Weitling, and his words also revealed respect for Weitling.

"Mr. Zhuo, there are so many people here, are they all your so-called assistants like Miss Angela I met yesterday?" Wei Tling, who entered the hall, twisted her face and glanced at Angela and them who were sitting at the end of the table, and then asked Zhuo Fei with a smile and a whisper. Zhuo Fei didn't answer, but just smiled, and took the three of Wei Tling up to the second floor to his study.

Weitling didn't come alone this time, she was accompanied by two middle-aged men and women, a man and a woman, the woman was a foreign woman like Weitling, and the man was a Chinese like Zhuo Fei. "Let me introduce to you, this is my friend at Jinling Women's University, and Anne, who also teaches students Western literature, and this is Wei Mingxuan, the director of our school's Foreign Affairs Office." Seeing that Zhuo Fei was secretly looking at the people he brought, Wei Tling simply generously introduced the two to Zhuo Fei.

"Mr. Zhuo is really young and promising, and a western-style building like this in Nanjing is not cheap at the moment, and money alone can't buy it." As soon as a few people took their seats, Wei Mingxuan opened his mouth first and chatted with Zhuo Feire. Zhuo Fei said quietly but laughed secretly in his heart, this product is here to set his own details, right? However, thinking about his reckless act of going to see Wei Tling yesterday, Zhuo Fei was immediately relieved of Wei Mingxuan's actions, and he would have some doubts about who was covered by a stranger's clouds and mountains.

"I don't know much about the residence, these are all handled by my assistants, I am just an idler who doesn't care about anything, and I just live in it when I have a house." In the face of Wei Mingxuan's temptation, Zhuo Fei replied neither hard nor soft, but the meaning between his words was to imply that he did not want to continue this topic.

Wei Mingxuan was not good at the teacher, he touched a soft nail, and it was not good to say anything, and he didn't expect Zhuo Fei to be so difficult among the three, so he had to tear up other topics. "Mr. Zhuo, I thought about the things you came to the school yesterday to talk to me, and I also recruited some friends to ask, but I didn't find that the school had to move out of Nanjing, and we came today just to thank you for your kindness."

Wei Tling's words didn't seem to make Zhuo Fei's mood worse, in fact, Zhuo Fei also knew that Wei Tling was testing himself, if he hadn't been suspicious, Wei Tling would not have visited him for two consecutive days. He laughed twice, Zhuo Fei got up and pulled open the curtain hanging on the wall behind him, and then pointed to the large map hanging on the wall, and said to the three of Weitling, "The three should be people who can understand the map, the red arrow on this represents the Japanese army, and the blue one is the national army. ”

The large map in Zhuo Fei's study was drawn directly on the wall by several artists found by Hansen according to the enlarged scale of the map. Several painters have been drawing in this study for three days, you can imagine how big this map is, Zhuo Fei couldn't help but take the initiative to hug Hansen when he saw this map for the first time, and now the three of Wei Tling have long been stunned by this map.

Zhuo Fei held a bamboo stick that served as a baton and pointed to Beiping and Tianjin, "This is Beiping, this is Tianjin, and the large red area here is the place that has been captured by the Japanese army." I have just received the news that the Japanese army has assembled troops to move south, and Zhangjiakou, Datong, Baoding, and Cangzhou have all fallen, and the target of the Japanese army going south is probably already locked in Shijiazhuang, Taiyuan, and Baotou. As the bamboo strip in Zhuo Fei's hand drew a large area on the map, the breathing of the three of Wei Tling became heavy.

"Look at it again, this is Shanghai, although the Nationalist army mobilized heavy troops to fight the Japanese army in Shanghai. The Nationalist troops who were transferred to Shanghai were already exhausted at the moment, and they could not look at the superiority of the Nationalist army, but the Japanese army's sophisticated weapons and equipment could make up for their lack of troops, not to mention that the Japanese army still had the advantage of the navy, and they could have transferred troops to land at any point on the long coastal defense around Shanghai. ”

Zhuo Fei secretly glanced at the three of Wei Tling from the corner of his eye, and found that the faces of the three of them had changed greatly at the moment, so he secretly smiled and prepared to add another fire to the other party. "The Nationalist Army concentrated its main forces in Shanghai to fight a war of attrition with the Japanese army, but in fact, Suzhou and Wuxi behind Shanghai had already run out of troops, and once the Japanese army landed in other places around Shanghai, the Nationalist army, which was attacked by the enemy, could only take the initiative to retreat." The bamboo strip in Zhuo Fei's hand began to move upwards with the explanation, and finally stopped until it reached Nanjing.

"Nanjing is not only the capital of the Nationalist Government, there is also the mausoleum of the great president Mr. Sun Yat-sen, the Nationalist Government will definitely not easily teach Nanjing to the Japanese army, so they will definitely mobilize heavy troops to hold the city of Nanjing after the retreat from Shanghai, so as not to be attacked by the Japanese army who is eager to end the war." When Zhuo Fei said this, his tone couldn't help but have more disdain for the Nationalist Government, if he could have forced the Japanese army in Shanghai to go to the sea in one go, or moved the defense line back and used the depth of the terrain to fight against the Japanese army, maybe the Nationalist troops in the Battle of Songhu would not have fought so badly.

"I don't understand what you said, but you said that the Nationalist Government will mobilize heavy troops to defend Nanjing, isn't it very good, Nanjing is not Shanghai, and it is not very easy to attack here." Wei Tling obviously had deeper doubts in her heart, but she didn't directly ask the doubts in her heart, but waited for Zhuo Fei's initiative to explain.

Zhuo Fei only smiled at this, and after pulling the curtain casually, he beckoned the other three to re-sit before Shi Shiran said, "Three, I know that you must not have seen a real battlefield, and fighting is not what you imagined. Although Nanjing has a city wall, in the era of hot weapons, no matter how thick the city wall is, it can't stop the bombardment of artillery, not to mention that the Japanese army still has planes and ships. Even if the Nationalist Army transfers more troops, it will not be the opponent of the Japanese army in terms of weapons and equipment, and secondly, it will not be a good morale for the Nationalist Army, which has just experienced the battle in Shanghai. ”

"The most important thing is, do you know the Japanese? Or do you know the character of the Japanese people? "Zhuo Fei's words made the three of Wei Tling confused, and none of them knew what the things said here had to do with the character of the Japanese?" Japan used to be a vassal state of China in history, and during the Tang Dynasty, Japan sent a large number of envoys to China to learn various knowledge and culture, which is also recorded in the secret records of some Japanese families. ”

"The character of the Japanese has always been flawed, on the surface, the Japanese are self-reliant, self-disciplined and motivated, but in fact, the Japanese have always hidden their admiration for the Chinese kingdom in their bones. After the Japanese Restoration, it began to develop greatly, and the occupation of Korea was just a test for the Manchu government at that time, and they easily took Korea, and Japan, which was not satisfied, launched the First Sino-Japanese Naval War. And after that, the Japanese began to really encroach on China step by step, they knew that Japan was too small, China was too big, and it was impossible for Japan to eat China in one bite. ”

It was precisely because of the weakness and incompetence of the Manchu government that the Japanese were very arrogant in China during these years. It is precisely because of this that the Japanese military department even put forward the slogan of destroying China in three months even before the start of the war, so I say that the Japanese are crazy. In the face of such a crazy Japanese army, the defenders of Nanjing naturally had to resist to the death, and I am not saying that this resistance should not be, I just want to say that the people in the city should be evacuated before the battle begins. Once the city of Nanjing was breached by the Japanese, the Japanese army, which had suffered heavy casualties, would launch a massacre to vent their anger, because their arrogance had made them disregard for everything, including the so-called international law. ”

What Zhuo Fei said could only be half-understood by Weitling, but Zhuo Fei thought about the meaning of Jinling Women's University moving out of Nanjing, but Weitling understood it. "Ms. Weitling, move away and take your students to a relatively safe place like Sichuan or Yunnan. The most tragic fate of the war is not the soldiers but the young women, and once the city of Nanjing is broken, you students will face the darkest days of their lives. ”

Zhuo Fei and the others stayed in the study on the second floor for a short time, but until Wei Tling and the three of them left Zhuo Fei's residence, they did not clearly express their attitude. Zhuo Fei couldn't help but be a little disappointed, if the teachers and students of Jinling Women's University could not withdraw before the Battle of Nanjing began, once the Japanese army attacked the city, the troops of the 36th Division would block the Rujiang Gate, and by that time, Wei Tling and the others might not be able to leave even if they wanted to.

"Forget it, anyway, I'm doing my best, it's a big deal to get those students who haven't left to go to Rabe's safe zone, as long as Hansen comes forward here and joins the safe zone, I think this safe zone that connects almost half of Guangzhou Road will be much larger." Thinking of the preparations he had made in the past few days, Zhuo Fei's mood immediately improved a little, and he couldn't help but feel some excitement in his heart looking forward to the big battle.

It was not until dinner time that Wei Mingxuan, who had followed Wei Tling, came to visit alone, and finally brought good news to Zhuo Fei, saying that Wei Tling had told Zhuo Fei's words to the school management without discount. "It's still going on at the school, and whatever the outcome, Ms. Weitling says thank you."
