Falken. General Hausen brought only one entourage to the western restaurant where he met Lin Junxiong, and Lin Junxiong stepped forward and warmly embraced this old friend, a German general who was later evaluated as the most important adviser to Sino-German cooperation. Falken also smiled and hugged this excellent young man who he recommended to Germany and put forward a blitzkrieg theory that shocked the German General Staff.

Shang Tianen and Falken went to another table, leaving Lin Junxiong and Falken a space to chat alone.

"Lin, you put forward the blitzkrieg theory in Germany, I also read it, a great tactic, the German General Staff was shocked that such a tactical theory was put forward by a Chinese officer, but it's a pity that those guys will definitely not listen, and it's a pity that you are not willing to play for the great Germany", Falken said with some loss.

"My old friend, China is my motherland, just as you love your motherland deeply, I also love my motherland deeply, no matter what, we are all friends, aren't we?"

"Very good, I hope you do well in the army, as someone I like and recommend, I will be proud of your performance. Originally, I wanted to add you to my army plan, but General Xue, your eldest brother insisted that you go, and said that if I sent you to go, he would turn against me. ”

"Oh, it's the same everywhere, but where is my big brother Xue now?"

"Xue was appointed commander-in-chief of the Sixth Route Army of the Northern Route Army in January this year, responsible for the task of 'suppressing the Communists' in southern Jiangxi, and I heard a few days ago that Shaoyuan had just been occupied."

Lin Junxiong picked up his wine glass and said to Falken: "Then let's celebrate my big brother Xue, your old friend can finally display his ambitions, cheers." ”

Lin Junxiong took a sip of wine, but felt uncomfortable in his heart, Xue Yue was showing his ambitions, but this was showing his ambitions in the Red Army, which made him unacceptable.

Thinking of the contradiction between Xue Yue and Chiang Kai-shek, Lin Junxiong was also a little depressed. In March 1926, Chiang Kai-shek, Li Zongren and others conspired in Shanghai to "purge the party". The commander of the 1st Division, Xue Yue, and the commander of the 2nd Division were seriously regarded as "showing signs of leftism", and their units were also considered "unreliable". On April 2, the political departments of the 1st and 2nd Divisions were disbanded by order of Chiang Kai-shek. At this time, Li Yilu (a member of the Communist Party), secretary general of the General Political Department of the Wuhan Revolutionary Government, led an advance team of the General Political Department to Shanghai to carry out work with Deng Yanda's handwritten letter to his fellow villager Xue Yue. When Xue Yue met with Li, he was deeply dissatisfied with Chiang Kai-shek's distrust of him, and advised Li that the situation was not good and that he should be cautious. Not long after, knowing that the 1st Division was about to be transferred out of Shanghai, he rushed to the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China in Shanghai and suggested that Chiang Kai-shek be arrested as a counter-revolutionary, but the Communists did not agree and suggested that Xue Yue pretend to be sick in order to delay the evacuation.

This is what Xue Yue told Lin Junxiong when they last met, and it can be heard that he is still dissatisfied with the Communist Party's failure to agree with his opinion. It's just that I don't know if he is now reused by Chiang Kai-shek, whether he is really single-minded towards Chiang Kai-shek, whether he still can't let go of the resentment of the year, and is ruthless to the Red Army.

The two chatted for a while, and then Lin Junxiong took out his conjecture of Japan's full-scale invasion of China, and implored Falkento to hand it over to Chairman Chiang, Falken was very surprised, looked at Lin Junxiong's conjecture carefully, and then sighed and said: "Lin, your conjecture is reasonable." At present, the most serious and urgent threat to China is Japan. Japan knows very well about China's feelings. Its interests are contrary to China's, so they are bent on using all kinds of methods to undermine China's internal unity and strength, or at least try to delay its realization, and perhaps in the near future it will launch a full-scale war of aggression against China, as you said. ”

"It's just that you also know that your Chairman Chiang is in 'IX. The performance after the '18 Incident', without resistance, immediately recognized the enemy's demands, and accepted them in silence. I don't think you will necessarily have a good result if you send it up, and you will be scolded if you don't do it well. ”

"General Falken, I just talk about my worries, and I hope that the government will start preparing as soon as possible and do what a Chinese should do, if it makes you embarrassed."

"No, my friend, if you have to insist, then I'll help you find a way to send it."

Falken seemed to have in mind the war that would soon break out, and sighed: "Contempt is the resistance of millions, and it is not to be taken lightly." If Gou does not have such a will, the people will not come forward and resist. At present, the Chinese Army cannot take on the role of a new type of war, but if it cannot resist the enemy for a long time and force it to increase its strength, the most important thing is to establish a small but extreme national defense force. ”

Lin Junxiong understood that Falken was worried, first, if Chiang Kai-shek did not resist as the leader of the war, then the Chinese people would not rebel en masse; The second is that China's current army is not strong enough to resist and cannot handle this new type of war with aircraft and armor, and if the war breaks out and does not fight a protracted war, forcing Japan to increase its forces, then this Kuomintang army will be crushed for thousands of miles.

Falken pondered that he did not want China to be plunged into war, and he did not want the training of the Chinese army by several German advisers to be easily destroyed.

Lin Junxiong took a deep breath and said: "Falken, in fact, I also want to write that once the war breaks out, then North China will be directly threatened, and if the army does not fight and abandons Hebei, then Longhai Road and its major cities will become the front line; As for the Yellow River defense line, as long as the Japanese army marches from Shandong, it will easily be completely controlled"

Falken said happily: "I have the same opinion as you, except for what you said, I think the Yangtze River will be the most important thing, if you control the Yangtze River to Wuhan line, then Chinese mainland will be divided in two, and the most important defense base will be lost." ”

"As for the possible start of a war, I would suggest to your Chairman that the main forces concentrated in the south and Nanking should be deployed as soon as possible and stationed in various districts so that they can be used for combat. All units used in combat should be concentrated in the Xuzhou-Zhengzhou-Nanchang-Nanjing section. In the north, the Longhai Road and the equipment related to survival along the road were covered, so the initial resistance area must be advanced to the north, and it was appropriate to defend absolutely with the line of Cangxian and Baoding. There are two things that are extremely important in the east: one is to blockade the Yangtze River, and the other is to guard the capital, and the two have a close relationship. The second is Wuhan and Nanchang, which can be used as support points, and it is advisable to stick to them vigorously to maintain the connection with Guangzhou. ”

Lin Junxiong kept nodding and added: "Sichuan will be the last place to defend." ”

Falken smiled and raised his glass and said: "Very good, I am glad that there is a person among the Chinese officers who can share the same opinion as me, but although we can foresee the ambitions and actions of the Japanese, your Nationalist Government will certainly not hear it, and Chiang is now bent on destroying the Communist Party and defending his decision to destroy the Communists and maintain his decision to secure the outside world and the interior." ”

Seeing Falken shaking his head helplessly, Lin Junxiong also sighed his helplessness.

Falken took a sip of his wine and continued: "General Seckert will return home next year, and he has revealed his intention to let me take over the fifth term of the German Military Advisory Council, and your chairman seems to agree. At that time, I plan to quickly equip and train 80,000 Chinese troops fully armed with German equipment, and also plan to reorganize 300,000 Chinese troops to deal with the outbreak of the Sino-Japanese war. My friend, this is all I can do for China, may God bless China with good luck and good luck for the Chinese people. ”

Lin Junxiong cast a grateful look, touched Falken's wine glass with his wine glass, and then drank it all, some things can't be avoided, China will not experience a heavy blow, the people will not wake up, and they will not know that the national government is not their hope. Only by going through the pains can we work together with the Communist Party of China to complete the rejuvenation of the Chinese nation and create a beautiful era.

Falken and Lin Junxiong agreed that when the Ministry of Military Affairs was officially appointed, he would come to see Lin Junxiong off.

Lin Junxiong and Shang Tianen watched Falken and them leave, Shang Tianen asked with his eyes what the result was, Lin Junxiong didn't speak, just smiled bitterly, put his arm around Shang Tianen's shoulders and left the restaurant.

The next day, Xiao Zanyu happily came to meet Lin Junxiong and them, and after some discussion, knowing that Lin Junxiong and the two came this time to join the Kuomintang army, he was naturally happy, and there was a period of brotherhood and brotherhood, obviously very optimistic about Lin Junxiong's future prospects. The three of them had lunch together, and Xiao Zanyu went back with a good mood to resume his life, and said that in three days at most, the Ministry of Military Affairs would issue a formal letter of appointment.

On the third day, Falken and several Kuomintang officers went to the hotel where Lin Junxiong and his family were staying, and an official of the Ministry of Military Affairs read out the letters of appointment of Lin Junxiong and Shang Tianen.

"Lin Junxiong is hereby appointed as the commander of the second battalion of the 30th Regiment of the 5th Division of the 36th Army of the National Revolutionary Army, with the rank of major, and will rush to the execution on the same day."

"Shang Tianen is hereby appointed as the commander of the third battalion of the 112th Regiment of the 58th Division of the 74th Army of the National Revolutionary Army, with the rank of major, and will rush to the execution on the same day."

After some congratulations, several officers did not accept Lin Junxiong's invitation to eat together, but said that they would rush back to resume their lives.

After a few officers left, Falken said: "My friend, you really shouldn't have written that conjecture about Japan's full-scale invasion of China." Your Chairman Chiang had a very good impression of you, but after reading your conjecture, he was furious, saying that you had read too many books and made so many remarks that misled the country, and that the situation you mentioned had already been studied within the Kuomintang. After some persuasion, he calmed down his anger, and he didn't want to reuse you as much as before, and the appointment of the colonel regiment commander that the Ministry of Military Affairs had already given you was also changed to a major battalion commander, and it is estimated that it is not a very good unit. ”

"General Falken, thank you for everything you have done for us, I will come back to see you when I have time."

Falken hugged Lin Junxiong and Shang Tianen before leaving.

"TM, what's the matter, this Chiang Kai-shek, so mindless", Shang Tianen thought about the unfair treatment and slammed the wall.

Lin Junxiong was not angry, he patted Shang Tianen and comforted: "Little Five, the best arrangement for the graduates of the Whampoa Military Academy to graduate is the battalion commander of the major, the higher our starting point, the more we will be jealous of others, and it will be difficult to move an inch in the future." It's better this way, it's not too high-profile, it's not so eye-catching. As for how about the troops, there are no bad soldiers, only generals who can't bring bad soldiers, we work together, we can all do a good job, what do you say? ”

The anger in Shang Tianen's heart slowly dissipated, and he stepped forward to clasp Lin Junxiong's hand and said, "Big brother, take care!" Hopefully we can meet again soon. ”

Lin Junxiong pulled Shang Tianen over and hugged him, patted him on the back and said, "Brother, take care!" ”

On the same day, the two set off for the place where their troops were located, and embarked on a journey to spur their horses.
