Chapter 1106: It's really a big deal
From hearing the sound of Dai Xing's car engine to Dai Li's hurried walk into Chairman Jiang's study, it was only a few minutes before and after, but in these few minutes, Chairman Jiang was already a little impatient, and Chairman Jiang's state of mind at the moment was completely confused, because the news reported by Wang Shihe just now was too earth-shattering. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
The lone army battalion actually wiped out the famous Gurkha royal infantry battalion, which is surprising enough, you must know that the lone army battalion is only a defeated army, and it has been detained in the public concession for nearly two years, not to mention the lack of weapons and equipment, morale must be extremely low, and the Gurkha royal infantry battalion against it is the elite of the British army, but the final result is that the Gurkha royal infantry battalion was actually wiped out.
It stands to reason that Chairman Chiang should be happy.
Anyway, the lone camp is his Jiang someone's troops, isn't it?
But Chairman Jiang was not happy at all, but felt a chill to the bone!
The lone battalion actually wiped out the Gurkha Royal Infantry Battalion, and captured Brigadier General Ferguson, the highest commander of the British army in Shanghai, what was it for? Is this to force the British Empire to go to all-out war with China? Just one Japan has almost wiped out China, and if you add a British Empire, you won't let people live?
At this moment, Chairman Jiang only felt a burst of blackening in front of him, and his throat was also faintly salty, but he was pressed down by Chairman Jiang.
It was only a few minutes, but in Chairman Chiang's feeling, it seemed like centuries had passed.
Finally, Dai Li ran into the study panting, and Chairman Jiang immediately asked urgently: "Yunong, you say, what is going on?" Didn't the lone military battalion already agree to disarm, why did it suddenly make such a fuss again? ”
At this moment, Chairman Jiang has 10,000 question marks in his heart, but this is what he wants to know the most.
Obviously, they have already said it, but Song Ziwen called back and said that the lone military camp had already agreed to disarm, why did the situation take a sharp turn overnight? Chairman Jiang was puzzled, but also felt a great humiliation, he was tricked! He was actually tricked by a group of big-headed soldiers in the lonely army camp, which made him angry!
A group of big-headed soldiers actually dared to play him as a leader? It's anti-heaven, isn't it?
Dai Li wiped the sweat balls on his forehead, from the gate of the official residence to the study, Dai Li actually ran out of a big sweat, only a small half was tired, and most of it was a cold sweat that scared out.
Dai Li's psychological quality is extremely good when the sky falls, but just a quarter of an hour ago, when he just received a telegram from Wang Tianmu, head of the Shanghai District of the Military Administration, from Shanghai, he was really scared out, and since he joined the Fuxing Society, Dai Li has never been so shocked.
The basket that the lonely army camp poked out this time is too big, and the sky is really about to collapse!
However, when he arrived at Chairman Jiang's official residence, Dai Li had calmed down and his thinking had returned to clarity.
"Here's how it goes." Dai Li wiped the cold sweat from his forehead and said, "According to Wang Tianmu's report, the Lone Military Battalion seems to have known that Minister Song's negotiations with the British were only superficial, but they did not break the matter, but instead planned to take advantage of the opportunity for the British army to relax their vigilance and suddenly attack the killers. ”
After a pause, Dai Lian continued: "The British army, to be exact, is the Gurkha Royal Infantry Battalion, this battalion's combat effectiveness is still very strong, but because Minister Song's negotiations were very successful, and because the Lone Army Battalion had agreed to disarm, the Gurkha Royal Infantry Battalion slackened, and as a result, the Lone Army Battalion was caught off guard. ”
After hearing this, Chairman Jiang was not well, and he couldn't come back to his senses for a long time.
Chairman Jiang was just guessing just now, but now, Dai Li told him in person that he was indeed put on a scene by the lone military camp, and this one was ruthless enough!
Suddenly, Chairman Chiang's face turned red.
Wang Shihe noticed the strangeness in Chairman Jiang's expression, and asked with concern: "Commission, are you okay......?"
Before the last word came out, Chairman Jiang suddenly bent down and coughed violently, coughing while taking out a handkerchief to cover his mouth, Wang Shihe rushed over to give Chairman Jiang a gentle pat on the back, but Chairman Jiang waved his empty left hand to signal that he was fine, and then stopped coughing, and put away the handkerchief and hid it.
Dai Li's eyes were sharp, although he only glanced at it, he still saw that Chairman Jiang's hidden handkerchief was clearly a little red, and Dai Li's heart immediately sank slightly when he saw this.
Dai Li didn't say anything about the rest of the matter, and Chairman Jiang didn't want to hear it anymore.
Chairman Jiang turned his head and asked Wang Shihe, "Shihe, when will they arrive?" ”
Wang Shihe raised his wrist to look at the time, and said in a low voice: "Chief Chen has gone to inspect the front line of Suizao, and Chief He and Deputy Chief Bai will be able to arrive soon." ”
As soon as he finished speaking, the roar of a car engine sounded again outside the official residence.
A moment later, He Yingqin and Bai Chongxi rushed into the study.
At this time, He Yingqin and Bai Chongxi were still confused, they only knew that Chairman Jiang was in a hurry to find them, but these two people were human spirits, and as soon as they walked into the study, they immediately noticed that the atmosphere in the study was a little strange, so they immediately closed their mouths, except for bowing to Chairman Jiang first, and then shouting to take a seat, they refused to confide in the second word.
Chairman Jiang bowed slightly, motioned for the two to sit down, and bowed his head to Dai Li's side.
Dai Li understood, so he told the story of the total annihilation of the Gurkha Royal Infantry Battalion by the lone army battalion.
After listening, He Yingqin and Bai Chongxi's mouths immediately opened wide, big enough to stuff a goose egg! And the face is full of disbelief! Both of them were shocked, shocked by the powerful combat power of the lone battalion, the Gurkha Royal Infantry Battalion, the elite of the elite of the British army, and they were all wiped out when they spoke!
After the shock, the two of them broke out in a cold sweat at the same time!
The infantry battalion of the Gurkha Royal Army is not the same thing as the British guards in the detention center!
Previously, when the lone army camp escaped from prison, although more than a dozen British guards were killed, neither He Yingqin nor Bai Chongxi took it seriously, although the lives of the British were more precious than the lives of the Chinese, but the British would never go to war with China for the sake of a dozen guards who were not even front-line armies.
But this time, the Gurkha Royal Infantry Battalion, which was completely annihilated by the lone battalion, was different.
Although the officers and soldiers of the Gurkha Royal Infantry Battalion are not the children of the British Island, although they are only recruited Gurkha mercenaries, but the identity of this unit is really extraordinary, the Gurkha Royal Infantry Battalion, this name was given by Queen Victoria of the United Kingdom herself, and the entire British Army, only this unit has won the royal title.
So it is no exaggeration to say that the Gurkha Royal Infantry Battalion is the face of the British royal family.
Now that the lone battalion has wiped out the Gurkha royal infantry battalion, isn't it just Chiguoguo's slap in the face of the British? Even if Britain has no interest in Asian affairs now, but a weak country like China slaps him in the face of a superpower, and my uncle and aunt can't bear it.
(Dividing Line)
It's really a big deal!
It's early in the morning in China and late in the evening in the UK.
By the time Chairman Chiang and his staff learned of the news, a telegram from Shanghai had already been sent to British Prime Minister Neville Chamberlain's desk.
After reading the contents of the telegram, Chamberlain's brow immediately frowned.
He had already heard the secretary's report on the matter of Shanghai yesterday, however, after hearing about it, Chamberlain threw the matter to the country of Java, and if it were any other time, Chamberlain might have used the escape from the lone military camp as an excuse to force the Nationalist Government to concede more interests politically and diplomatically, but now, most of China has fallen, and China is like a lamb that has been squeezed dry of milk and flesh, and there is no oil and water.
What's more, Chamberlain's mind is now full of European affairs, and he can't care about Asian affairs at all.
Therefore, Chamberlain did not pay attention to the matter of Shanghai at all, but only telegraphed Steve to the Minister in China to deal with it properly and to maintain the face of the British Empire.
Chamberlain was very sure that there would be nothing wrong with the incident in Shanghai.
However, as the night passed, the Shanghai incident not only did not subside, but expanded!
Not only was Steve, the British Minister to China, and Brigadier General Ferguson, the supreme commander of the British Army in Shanghai, captured in the lone military camp, but even the Gurkha Royal Infantry Battalion was completely annihilated! The Gurkha Royal Infantry Battalion is the only unit in the British Army with a royal title, they are the face of the British royal family, what do the Chinese want to do?
Do the Chinese want to reclaim the Public Concession, or do they want an all-out war with the British Empire?
Chamberlain had never been a belligerent, but at the moment, he was also enraged by the news from across the ocean.
Chamberlain immediately rang the bell and summoned the secretary, and asked the secretary to inform the ministers to come to the meeting at 10 Downing Street.
At this time, it was already past the end of work, but after receiving a phone call from the Prime Minister's secretary, the ministers who were already preparing to leave work still grabbed their briefcases and hurriedly drove to the Prime Minister's Office at 10 Downing Street to participate in an emergency cabinet meeting convened by the Prime Minister.
At the Cabinet meeting, Chamberlain first informed the Cabinet members of the news that had taken place in the Shanghai Public Concession.
After Chamberlain finished speaking, there was a moment of silence in the conference room, and then more than a dozen cabinet members attending the meeting blew up at once, shouting one after another, the British are very arrogant, in the face of aggressive Germans, they can still endure, after all, the Germans have proven themselves in the First World War, but what the hell are the Chinese?
A country that the British Empire only needs a few gunboats and a few thousand soldiers to be able to fight on its stomach dares to blow up a stab? Do you really think that our British Empire has declined? A bitter lesson must be taught to the stupid Chinese, a dozen cabinet members in attendance shouted.
