Since then, a large number of German professional soldiers have lost their jobs, these people have fought all their lives, and they will not do anything but kill people and set fires, and their laid-off unemployment has caused a great burden on society and has become a serious factor of social instability, and the German government urgently needs to resettle them.

In addition, Germany is a very proud country, and it is also a country that has risen by force, and it can be said that everyone in this country is martial, even those rich young masters are no exception. Their Junkers aristocratic military school is famous all over the world, and it is a world-class military school such as West Point Military Academy in the United States, which has cultivated many military talents.

Such a country would certainly not want to see a disconnect in their military-technical field as a result of the Versailles Treaty. Therefore, they were eager for the laid-off soldiers to come into contact with the troops, so that they could keep themselves familiar with the troops and not forget all the military techniques they had learned.

Therefore, sending these officers to other countries as instructors became the only option for the German government. Initially, due to the Treaty of Versailles, Germany did not dare to blatantly send military advisers to other countries, but sent their officers to other countries as economic advisers or even personal friends.

At this time, in order to deal with the increasingly ambitious Japanese Empire, the Chinese Nationalist Government also urgently needed to train a new army to deal with the Sino-Japanese war that could break out at any time in the future. The two sides took what they needed and hit it off, and Germany began to send military advisers to the Chinese Nationalist Government to help China train its troops. At that time, the two countries also signed a secret agreement, that is, Germany would provide technology to secretly build a military factory in the hinterland of China, and the arms produced by each family would be one and a half. (The Treaty of Versailles limited the development of Germany's military exploits)

After Hitler came to power, his fierce personality did not need to be explained, and he tore up the "Versailles Treaty", began to brazenly expand armaments, and sent official military advisers to other countries.

That's where The Executive Advisors comes in. At this time, however, Chairman Chiang's moral advisers, whom he usually relied on, were very unoptimistic about China's impending war, and in their report to the Military Commission of the Nationalist Government, they stated that China would only be able to resist for six months at most.

They don't say this on a whim, Germany is a very serious country, and they do a lot of data research before making any predictions. The reason why they predicted that China would only resist for six months was because they knew that China's current ammunition reserves could only last for three months.

However, China itself does not have a military industry, and the manufacturing capacity of the only Hanyang Iron Works is very low, which simply cannot meet the huge ammunition needs of the squadron. Even with international assistance, it is already a miracle that China can resist for six months, and after six months, even the gods have no choice.

But like the Japanese, they underestimated one point, that is, the determination of the Chinese people to resist foreign humiliation and the spirit of not being afraid of sacrifice. We fought this war for eight years, and in the end we won it.

This basin of cold water from the German advisers cast another layer of haze over Chairman Chiang's already cloudy heart, but he now has no choice, the Japanese bayonet has already reached his nose, even if he wants to not fight, there is no way, anyway, there will be a war between China and Japan, it will be fought early and late, it is better to fuck now.

Therefore, Chairman Chiang did not heed the advice of the moral adviser, but still ordered troops to be sent to General Zhang Zhizhong to sweep away the Japanese marines entrenched in Shanghai.

After receiving Chairman Chiang's order, General Zhang Zhizhong, commander of the Beijing-Shanghai garrison, immediately organized troops to march to Shanghai. All trains bound for Shanghai were temporarily repurposed and converted into military trains to transport soldiers. When the Chinese people along the way saw that their country's army was going to the front line to resist Japan, they were inexplicably excited, and spontaneously ran to both sides of the train track to send off these warriors who were about to go to the battlefield to defend their homeland and defend the country.

Ordinary people kept throwing cigarettes, cans and other items into the carriage to express their support for these soldiers.

At the same time, Zhang Zhizhong, commander of the Beijing-Shanghai garrison, was summoned to Nanjing overnight by Chairman Chiang to inquire about the operational situation.

According to records, the dialogue between Chairman Chiang and General Zhang Zhizhong was also very simple and straightforward.

Chairman Jiang asked: "Wenbai (Zhang Zhizhong's character Wenbai, no remarks below), I will strike first to sweep away the enemy in Shanghai, are you sure?"

General Zhang Zhizhong replied: "This battle must involve the cooperation of the air force and artillery, and if the air force can destroy the enemy's stronghold, our infantry will be very sure." ”

Chairman Chiang didn't seem to be satisfied with this answer, and asked with a worried face: "Do you know about our air force?" If the sweep is not resisted, can it stand?"

General Zhang Zhizhong replied: "If the air force cannot be effective, our infantry will be able to hold its position with the main force, cover the assault of the favorable troops, and fight steadily and steadily. ”

After receiving General Zhang Zhizhong's affirmative reply, Chairman Chiang's heart finally put in his stomach and immediately ordered General Zhang Zhizhong to return to the army and organize the troops in Shanghai to launch an attack on the Japanese marines.

Just when Chairman Chiang was asking General Zhang Zhizhong for advice, Company Commander Feng Muhua, who was at Shanghai's Hongqiao Airport, received a new task.

According to the plan of Luo Zehong, an effective staff officer of the General Staff of the Military Commission of the Nationalist Government, before the start of the war, people should be sent to disguise themselves as civilians to conduct a reconnaissance of the strongholds of the Japanese marines entrenched in the Hongqiao area.

Anyone who has served in the army knows that reconnaissance work is very meticulous work, and it is very dangerous to go to the enemy's camp to reconnoitre. Therefore, this kind of work has very high requirements for investigators, and they must be bold and careful, and their memory must be good, otherwise, after lurking in, it is easy to be caught by the other party, and thus fall into a situation from which they will never recover.

In order to accomplish the tasks assigned by the superiors, the 20th Independent Brigade sent many capable troops to carry out reconnaissance work, and Feng Muhua, who had shown his face once in the handling of the Oyama Yuo incident, was naturally honorably selected as one of the scouts and sent to the Japanese station to conduct a reconnaissance approach.

Feng Muhua was born as an agent, and it was his old job to go deep into the enemy to obtain intelligence, so he had the unshirkable responsibility to select two capable people among the three platoons he was currently leading after receiving the order. After another elaborate make-up, the three of them were dressed up as coolies running errands in Shanghai.
