Chapter 463: Hangzhou Strategy (18)

Speaking of Gu Shoufu, Chairman Chiang naturally knew that less than three years had passed since the Nanjing Massacre, and because information was generally not very developed in this era, ordinary people may not know too well, but as the leader of a country, how could he not know about the good things that Gu Shoufu and his Sixth Division had done.

Madame Jiang covered her small mouth, and a look of surprise jumped on her face, "Darling, how can the Japanese do this, aren't they afraid of being condemned by the international community?" ”

Chairman Jiang smiled bitterly, his wife grew up in the United States and received a Western education, but she didn't know much about the cruelty of the Japanese. Chairman Chiang, on the other hand, is different, because although we, Chairman Chiang, did not receive a higher military education in Japan and went to a third-rate military academy, we do have a deep understanding of the characteristics of the Japanese nation.

From the beginning of 1908 to the winter of 1910, Chairman Chiang entered the Zhenwu School and was assigned to the artillery specialty.

Here, Chairman Chiang felt most deeply the strict and harsh class division of the Japanese army. In the Japanese army, it is a matter of course for subordinates to obey their superiors, and they have to obey and serve soldiers of higher rank than themselves at all levels, and if they are not satisfied, they will be reprimanded and even corporal punishment. According to the rules of bushido in the Japanese army, subordinates must obey their superiors, and even if the order is wrong, it must be carried out. The simple and practical punishment for the mistakes of the Japanese soldiers is a slap in the face, and it must be loud to qualify.

The subordinate who was slapped must stand upright, and after being beaten, he must say "Hi, Hi", which has two meanings, one is to admit that the superior hit the right one, and he should be beaten if he did something wrong. The second is to say that he can accept more slaps.

For the Japanese, slapping is just a very common thing, but for the Chinese, the punishment of slapping is only qualified to be carried out on the younger generation by parents or direct elders, and generally the younger generation makes mistakes with spanking as the main punishment. Slapping is quite a demorous thing. Chinese people regard face very seriously, as the saying goes: hitting people does not slap their faces. For the Chinese people, a slap is like the greatest remorse in the world. If one party slaps the other party in the middle of a quarrel, the other party can immediately rush up with their lives and fight with their lives. If it weren't for his life, the people around him would look down on this person. Therefore, a slap is a burden of life that people cannot bear.

Slapping is an extremely bad form of punishment. The person who has been beaten has been psychopathic for a long time, and will expose his perverted behavior on some occasions.

The Japanese estimate that they have been slapped too much, so the hearts of the vast majority of people have become very distorted, and many things that seem incredible to others are very normal in the eyes of the Japanese, so it may be unimaginable for the Japanese to press the people of Hangzhou to the river to coerce Su Jin to retreat the team, but in the eyes of Chairman Jiang, it is normal for a nation that has been twisted and perverted in his heart to do such a thing.

Seeing that Chairman Jiang had been silent for a while and did not speak, Mrs. Jiang was also a little anxious, pushed her husband's arm and said, "Darling, you are talking, the Japanese have done such a shameless thing, shouldn't you, as the leader of the party-state, do something?" ”

"What can I do?" Chairman Jiang spread his hands helplessly: "You must know Su Sansi's temper, he is a well-known person who will be revenged, and he can even do such a thing as poison gas without pressure, Gu Shoufu dared to openly threaten him this time, he must take revenge." ”

Madame Jiang was anxious: "But what about those innocent people?" If Su Sansi didn't compromise, the Japanese would definitely kill them, and that would be thousands of ordinary people! ”

"You fool!" Chairman Jiang glared at her: "In the woman's opinion, the common people are innocent, what about those soldiers who died in battle to recover Hangzhou?" Isn't their blood in vain, and besides, the Japanese were originally wolf ambitions, if we compromise this time, what if the Japanese repeat the same trick next time, is it possible that we have to compromise every time? ”

"What then?" After all, Mrs. Jiang is a highly educated person, and the reason why she said such a thing just now was because she was too anxious, and she immediately sobered up after her husband woke up so little.

"Hmph, this matter can't be really settled, I will immediately summon the United States, Britain, France, and other special envoys in China, disclose this matter to them, and we must strictly condemn this kind of thing that violates basic international norms!" After that, Chairman Chiang immediately informed the people below to begin meeting with the envoys of various countries in China, and through these envoys, conveyed the protests of the Nationalist Government to the Japanese Government.

Chu Yuan, the leader of the flight group who was directing operations at a military airport on the outskirts of Hengzhou, also knew what was happening at the front line, and he was indignant, commanding the Tiger Shark Squadron and the Black Crow Squadron to prepare for another attack.

When Chu Yuan was busy, he received an urgent telegram from Hangzhou, and his face immediately changed when he looked at the content of the newspaper.

"Captain, what's wrong?" Looking at Chu Yuan's somewhat strange face, Chen Zhiming, the deputy captain on the side, stepped forward and asked.

Chu Yuan did not speak, but handed the telegram to him.

Chen Zhiming took the telegram and looked at it, and couldn't help but gasp: "Hiss...... Is it finally about to begin? ”

"Yes!" Chu Yuan gritted his teeth and said slowly: "The military seat said that the 202nd Army will never accept any coercion, and the only thing we can do is to return the pain that the Japanese have brought us a thousand times more!" ”

"Let's get started!" Chen Zhiming's breathing became rapid, and there was a chilling light in his eyes......

Since Japan and China were at war, there was no direct communication between the two governments, so it was already an hour and a half later when the Japanese government received the protest from the Nationalist Government from the U.S. Embassy.

Looking at the protest telegram sent by the Nationalist Government from the US Embassy, Prime Minister Nobuyuki Abe did not dare to slack off, and immediately called an emergency meeting, at which he scolded the army generals, "Yaga Yalu, these damn army red deer, don't they have any brains?" The fact that he openly threatened the lives of civilians against the other side's military has become known to the whole world, and do you know how much damage this is to the reputation of our great Japanese Empire? ”

Looking at the furious Nobuyuki Abe, the Chief of Staff Prince Zaihito closed his eyes and was silent, and the Minister of the Sea Minister, Mitsumasa Yonechi, looked at his fingers indifferently, as if his fingers could see the flowers, but Shunroku Hatata, who had just been promoted to the land minister, said disapprerovitically: "What's the fuss about this matter, although Gu Shoufu has done a little too much, but after all, he is also for the hegemony of the Japanese Empire, but it is just a few thousand people, what is there to make a fuss about." ”

"You...... You ......"

Nobuyuki Abe pointed at these people and trembled with anger, don't these guys estimate the impact of the international community at all, he still clearly remembers the look of surprise mixed with disdain on the face of Joseph Gru, the US ambassador to Japan, when he met him an hour ago, and he still feels that his face is a little hot, but these guys who are directly responsible in front of him actually say that it is just a trivial matter.

Nobuyuki Abe almost hissed and shouted as hard as he could: "Didn't you hear the warning of Su Jin of the 202nd Army, if Gu Shoufu really slaughtered their civilians, he would take revenge on us at all costs!" ”

"Revenge?"

Yan Junroku, Mitsumasa Yonechi, and even Prince Jaehito and the more than a dozen high-ranking generals around him all looked up to the sky and laughed.

Lieutenant General Koiso Kunia, who was then the Vice Minister of the Ministry of the Army, even leaned back with a smile, and he said to Nobuyuki Abe with an arrogant face: "Your Excellency Prime Minister, although I have to admit that Su Jin is indeed a rather good general of China, but so what? If we kill those lowly Shina people, we will kill them, and our Great Japanese Empire is still afraid that his threat will not succeed, and what can he do to us? You must know that if Gu Shoufu doesn't do this, Hangzhou won't be able to keep it, so I think it's very cost-effective to kill a few people to keep Hangzhou. As for the people who want to protest, then let them protest! ”

Hearing this, Nobuyuki Abe no longer had the heart to be angry, and he was completely disappointed in these stiff-brained guys.

Nobuyuki Abe shook his head and stood up with his hands on the table, he looked at everyone deeply, and said solemnly word by word: "You guys...... Will regret what you did today! ”

With that, Nobuyuki Abe turned around and walked slowly out of the conference hall......

Su Jin still didn't agree to Gu Shoufu's conditions in the end, and it was impossible for him to agree to Gu Shoufu's coercion, and the two hours passed in a flash.

Standing outside the window of the plane that kept hovering in the sky, Gu Shoufu said in a deep voice: "Murata-kun, haven't the people of China still not agreed to our conditions?" ”

"Yes, the people of China still haven't agreed to our conditions!" Chief of Staff Takao Murata said in a low voice.

"Where are their pontoon bridges?"

"The pontoon bridge of the Chinese people is less than two hundred meters from the shore, and it is estimated that it will be repaired to the shore in two hours at most, and then their infantry will be able to reach the north shore at that time!" When he said this, Takashi Murata hesitated for a moment and said: "Your Excellency, Commander, let's retreat quickly, and when the pontoon bridge of the Shina people is repaired, it will be difficult for us to leave." ”

"Absolutely not!" Gu Shoufu turned around suddenly, his eyes were bloodshot, and he roared: "Since that Su Jin is unwilling to save the lives of those Zhina people, then I will fulfill them, you immediately order the troops on the riverside to kill all those Zhina people!" ”

"Your Excellency Commander......" Takao Murata's voice trembled.

"Go!" Tani's roar resounded throughout the house. (To be continued.) )
