However, the advantage of being the boss is that once the boss encounters an embarrassing thing, there will naturally be the following little brother to help round the field, seeing that the atmosphere is a little embarrassing, Chen Bui hurriedly said: "Chairman, Su Sansi attacked Fujian without reporting to the central government, which is wrong no matter what, but he is also for the sake of the Anti-Japanese War, this time we will not punish him, and wait until the end of this battle to decide whether to give him a reward or punishment according to the battle situation, what do you think?" ”

"Well, Yan Ji is reasonable, although this Su Sansi is very disagreeable, but the first prime minister once taught us that we still have to punish the comrades first, this time we will not punish him, and after you go back, you will send a telegram to the Third Army in the name of the Ministry of Military Affairs, reprimanding them for launching an attack on Japan without reporting, but since the incident has happened, then we must fight well, if we can't achieve a satisfactory result, I will punish him for several crimes!"

Chen Cheng said with a solemn expression: "I will definitely keep in mind the words of the chairman, and I will send a telegram to Su Sansi immediately!" ”

When it comes to this, the matter has basically been discussed, and Chen Bui and Chen Cheng have left one after another. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 After the two left, Chairman Jiang looked at the figures of the two leaving, looked at the original draft of the declaration of war against Japan on the table, sighed softly, leaned his head on the back of the chair and closed his eyes in contemplation.

Since the United States and Japan declared war on each other, out of the professional talent of a politician, he immediately had a premonition that the situation of the War of Resistance was about to usher in a big change, because the United States and Britain could not afford to lose the consequences of losing the battlefield in China, and the United States was bound to increase military assistance to China, so that the original difficult situation of the War of Resistance in China would be greatly changed, and the importance of Su Jin and the Third Army would not be so great at that time......

Thinking of this, Chairman Jiang couldn't help but move in his heart, and a cold glint flashed in his eyes......

"Darling...... Darling ......"

"Ah......" I don't know how long it took, and a gentle voice came from my ears.

Chairman Jiang, who was in deep thought, suddenly woke up, and when he turned his head, he saw his wife standing beside him and looking at him, with a coquettish look on his face, and then he suddenly stood up and took Mrs. Jiang's hand and said, "Eh, it's Madame!" Just now I thought I was thinking about things too much, and I couldn't help but hear what Madame said. ”

Madame Jiang said to him coquettishly: "Darling, why are you thinking so engrossed? I've called you several times, but you haven't responded. ”

Chairman Jiang smiled and was about to speak, but Mrs. Jiang said with some dissatisfaction: "Darling, if you don't say it, I know, are you thinking about Su Sansi just now?" ”

Chairman Jiang was slightly shocked in his heart, although he and Mrs. Jiang have been husband and wife for so many years, he still said a little embarrassed: "It seems that I can't hide anything from Madame, I was thinking just now, now that the United States has entered the war, it is necessary for them to increase military aid to China, and it is certain that the strength of our national army will definitely be able to be rapidly strengthened, so that Su Sansi and the Third Army will not be as important as before, and I am considering whether to transfer them to places where they are needed more." ”

As a highly educated lady, Mrs. Jiang and Chairman Jiang have been husband and wife for so many years, and she knew what her husband wanted to say before she finished speaking. I saw her sneer and said, "Why, do you think that with the support of the Americans, you think that Su Sansi is useless, so you can throw him aside and do it alone?" Don't forget, although the strength of the United States is strong, but now that the Pacific Fleet has just been hit hard, at least for half a year, it will not be able to take care of us at all, and even if the support for us is increased, it will be limited, but you are good, listen to the wind and rain, and you want to cross the river and tear down the bridge before they speak, aren't you afraid that the soldiers below will be cold? ”

After all, Chairman Chiang is the leader of a country, and even though he and Mrs. Chiang are husband and wife, they are also a little unhappy when they hear his wife say this. He couldn't help but say with some displeasure: "Madam, I know that Su Sansi will send people to see you every year or two during the New Year's holidays, and you have a good impression of him, but you must know that this is a private matter after all, and it cannot be mixed with state affairs." ”

The reason why Chairman Jiang said this was because he knew very well that in the past two years, Su Jinguang had made a fortune by reselling penicillin, sulfonamide powder, weapons and ammunition, because after taking the line of Bai Chongxi and Li Zongren, his business not only spread all over the country, but even abroad. Not only that, but this guy is not a lone eater, and every year he sends someone to Chongqing to send a large donation in the name of visiting his wife, of course...... Nominally, this money was donated to the government to purchase arms and materials, but it is unknown how much his wife withheld in private, and as a husband, he could only turn a blind eye to his wife, so he didn't feel strange that his wife excused Su Jin so much, but today he felt that his wife's words were a little excessive, so he rarely said a few words to her.

But after he said this, Mrs. Jiang's face immediately sank, and she said angrily: "Do you say that I told you this for personal matters?" We've been married for so many years, am I that kind of person in your heart? I'm telling you, if it weren't for business, I wouldn't bother to pay attention to you! Have you ever thought about what you are going to do if he doesn't obey the orders of the central government once you give an order to Su Sansi? Send troops to forcibly order them to carry it out? Let's not talk about whether Xue Yue and those troops in the Ninth Theater can beat the elite of the Third Army, once you start to do it, how do you let the people of the whole country and the world view this matter, you must know that Su Jin is not an unknown person now, he is now very well-known in the world, even Churchill and Roosevelt know his name, once it has caused a bad international impact, I will see how you will end up at that time? Darling, you are the leader of a country, don't you even have this amount of tolerance? ”

Madame Chiang is worthy of being a person who has drunk foreign ink and has received a higher education, and her remarks are justified and well-founded, especially the last sentence of "causing a bad international impact" even speaks to Chairman Chiang's heart, and now is the time for him to ask the Americans, and once Roosevelt thinks that what he is doing is not in the interests of the United States, he will cut off his support for himself if he does not do well, and in this way, his actions will be shooting himself in the foot.

As soon as he thought of the possible bad effects, Chairman Jiang immediately came to his senses, he stretched out his hands and grabbed Madame Jiang's hand and said, "Madame is worthy of being my virtuous helper, if you hadn't reminded me, I wouldn't have known how risky the idea just now was, thank you, Madam...... Thank you ma'am! ”

Mrs. Jiang, who was held by her husband's hand, gave her husband a blank look, "It's good that you know, I know that you have always disliked Su Jin, because he is not a Whampoa and often contradicts you, and the most important thing is that he doesn't listen to the greetings." But you don't want to think about it, now in addition to the Huangpu Department and the Central Army in your hands, how many people in those miscellaneous armies composed of local warlords are at your command, not to mention anything else, let's just talk about Li Deling and Bai Jiansheng, these two people were still openly against you back then, and I haven't seen you shout and kill them, why can't you tolerate these two people? And the most important thing is that you don't find out that Su Sansi is still a deputy general? How much benefit has he brought to the party-state since his appearance? Don't you see the great victory at Wanjialing, the annihilation of the Suzuki brigade, the sinking of Japanese warships, the recovery of Zhejiang, the attack on Shanghai, and the return of nearly 100 American fighters to us, and now we can even take the initiative to attack Fujian? Why are you so determined to deal with him, do you want to force him to meet us in battle to be happy? ”

If this sentence was said by someone else, Chairman Jiang would probably drive him out at the first time, but it was his closest pillow person who said this, but after hearing this, he had to think carefully in his heart, and found that this is really the truth, Su Jin, who has done everything since he came out of Shandong to resist Japan, is all good for the country and the nation. Let's not talk about the merits he has made over the years, let's just say that if it weren't for the 75 P40 Tomahawk planes that he took the initiative to donate to the government at the most critical time in Chongqing last year, I'm afraid Chongqing would have been bombed into a pile of ruins by the Japanese, not to mention the dollars he would donate to the government from time to time during the New Year's holidays, but why was he so worried about him?

Chairman Jiang thought about it for a long time and suddenly realized that the reason why he did this was because he was afraid, afraid that this guy would take his place in the future, so he was so eager to weaken his strength.

Madame Chiang deserved to be Chairman Chiang's pillow person, seeing her husband's thoughtful gaze, she also vaguely guessed her husband's thoughts, she sighed lightly and clenched Chairman Chiang's hand and persuaded: "Darling, the ancients said well, to achieve extraordinary things, you must have an extraordinary belly, if you can't even tolerate a Su Sansi, how can you stand shoulder to shoulder with Stalin, Roosevelt, Churchill and other heads of countries around the world in the future?" Besides, I always have a hunch that Su Sansi is not interested in the position under your ass, and it is better for you to be wary of Li Deling and Bai Jiansheng, two old opponents, than to be wary of him. ”

Chairman Jiang sighed, "Okay, maybe I'm thinking too much, I hope so......"

"That's right." Mrs. Jiang smiled and held her husband's hand a little tighter......

At this time, Su Jin didn't know that Chairman Jiang, who was far away in Chongqing, was so suspicious of him, but according to his character, even if he knew, he wouldn't care, and he who was originally paying attention to the situation in Fujian was now attracted by another thing.

At this time, in front of Su Jin and Zhang Zhizhong stood a long-lost person, to be exact, an officer wearing an American-style military uniform.

Zhang Zhizhong asked with an expression of disbelief, "Lieutenant Colonel Crawford, are you sure you're not joking?" ”

Crawford nodded solemnly: "I'm really sorry Chairman Zhang, I just received an order from the United States of America, in view of the fact that our country has declared war with Japan, the Japanese Combined Fleet has tightly blocked all sea passages to Zhejiang, and our Pacific Fleet has just been heavily damaged, and there are not enough warships to escort the cargo ships heading for your country, so we have to suspend the delivery of materials to your country." But rest assured, this is only temporary, and once our Pacific Fleet is restored, we will resume military assistance to your country. ”

Zhang Zhizhong's face became very ugly, in the past two years, relying on the United States' endless military aid, a large number of American engineers and technicians to help Su Jin and the Third Army build factories in Hangzhou and other places, Zhejiang not only quickly restored prosperity, the economic level has even improved a lot compared with the pre-war period, it can be said that in the past year or so, Zhejiang's taxes paid to the central government have even accounted for half of the country's taxes, for which Zhang Zhizhong has been praised by Chairman Chiang many times, but now these Yankees actually say that the sea passage was blocked by the Japanese, The transport ship couldn't come over, and how could he stand it.

I saw Zhang Zhizhong say with a calm face: "Lieutenant Colonel Crawford, do you want to know that our country has just fulfilled its Yiwu to its allies today, but is this how your country repays us?" To put it mildly, this is a naked betrayal! ”

Crawford spread his hands helplessly: "Chairman Zhang, I understand your feelings very well, but I am just a lieutenant colonel of a small observation group, and I can't do anything about this kind of national-level thing, I'm really sorry." ”

"You ......" Zhang Zhizhong was so angry that his teeth were itching, he was still very happy when he heard the declaration of war against Japan issued by Chairman Jiang this morning, but he didn't expect that before he could finish laughing, the Yankees suddenly came to tell him that there was no military aid, and this kind of gap could simply make people grit their teeth.

"Okay, Chairman Zhang, you can dissipate your anger first, let me say a few words to Lieutenant Colonel Crawford first." At this time, Su Jin on the side was deeply stopped by Zhang Zhizhong, who still wanted to continue talking.

Su Jin turned his head and asked, "Lieutenant Colonel Crawford, since your country has stopped military aid to our country, can you tell me when I will be able to recover again." As you know, the current battlefield in China has reached a critical moment, and if your country stops the import of materials and leads to the defeat of various battlefields, this consequence must not be what your country wants to see, right? Finally, can you give us an exact date for the resumption of supplies? ”

Seeing Su Jin asking Crawford, he was also a little embarrassed, and he was really unwilling to deceive this general who had repeatedly performed miraculous feats. He could only answer honestly: "To be honest, General, I don't know, because now the coast of Zhejiang is under the surveillance of Japanese warships, and our cargo ships have no way to enter those ports." ”

Su Jin was silent, he knew that what Crawford said was the truth, just after the Pearl Harbor incident, the Americans themselves were licking their wounds, where were the extra warships to escort them. He thought for a moment and asked, "Lieutenant Colonel Crawford, if we recover the coastal area of Fujian, can your supplies be restored immediately?" ”

"If that's the case, I don't think it's a big problem, I don't think the current Japanese Navy has the ability to block such a long coastline."

"Okay, then you just wait for our good news!" (To be continued.) )
