Xu Rui nodded, and said to Wang Husheng: "Old Wang, you are responsible for recruiting veterans of the National Army." Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo”

"Okay, I'll take the lead in this." Wang Husheng nodded, and then asked, "But I have to know first, how many veterans of the National Army do you plan to recruit?" ”

Xu Rui said hesitantly: "Lao Wang, your question is too unqualified. ”

"What do you mean?" Wang Husheng said awe-inspiringly, "You mean, the more the merrier?" ”

"That's right, the more the merrier." Xu Rui said, "These veterans of the National Army are all treasures, and they can't be found in normal times, but now they are put for you to pick up, don't you want them, isn't that stupid?" ”

Xu Rui is telling the truth, because the Nationalist Army that participated in the Battle of Songhu was basically the elite of the Nationalist Army at that time, that is, the first batch of twenty-four adjustment divisions, plus the thirty-five finishing divisions in the later period, which is usually called the German armament division, most of the German armament equipment of these fifty-nine German armament divisions are not in place, but most of their soldiers are the elite of the Central Army, all of whom are elite veterans who fought from the warlord melee or the ten-year civil war.

At the beginning of the Battle of Songhu, the military literacy of these veterans of the National Army could crush the Japanese devils on the battlefield! As far as the little devils are most proud of their white-knuckle battles and bayonets, they are not at all the opponents of these elite veterans of the National Army! Such veterans, of course, the more the merrier, idiots don't want them.

Wang Husheng lost his voice and said: "You mean that all the veterans of the National Army stranded in Shanghai have been recruited? ”

"Yes." Xu Rui nodded and said, "Whether they want to or not, they must find a way to absorb it, and they are not allowed to let any of them go." ”

"What if they don't want to?" Wang Husheng said, "After all, we are now nominally traitors and two devils, in order to avoid leaking the news, and we can't tell them our true identity, although these veterans of the National Army have a difficult livelihood, they may not be willing to be traitors and two devils with us." ”

Xu Rui said: "You can properly reveal some details to them, tell them that we are not real traitors, but we can't say too much, just let them know that they will not follow the Japanese to do evil, I am very sure that most of the veterans of the National Army will still agree to make a living." ”

The ideal is very full, but the reality is very cruel.

After all, there are still a few heroes and heroes who really dare to take righteousness calmly, but the vast majority of Chinese people will still succumb to the pressure of reality and survival, which is also the reason why the Manchu Qing Dynasty was able to enter the Central Plains, and it is also the reason why there were so many puppet armies during the Anti-Japanese War.

It must be said that this is by no means a phenomenon unique to the Chinese nation.

On the Internet, there are always many people with ulterior motives who maliciously insult, saying that there has never been a country in the world with so many traitors like China, which is completely nonsense, and that any country and any nation will never be less scum than the Chinese nation when it is invaded by the same large-scale foreign enemy as China.

For example, Russia is almost a world-recognized fighting nation, but when Russia faced a large-scale invasion by the German army, the Soviet Red Army on the front-line battlefield also surrendered by millions of people, and most of these Soviet Red Army who laid down their arms and surrendered also became puppet soldiers, but they did not participate in the front-line battles.

It is difficult for you to say that these officers and soldiers who laid down their arms and surrendered are not patriotic and do not love their own nation, in short, it is still the same sentence, after all, there are still very few heroes and heroes in this world who really dare to calmly and righteously, and the vast majority are still ordinary people, and they will eventually choose to give in under the pressure of reality and survival.

However, if a suitable opportunity arises, these officers and soldiers are still willing to take up arms again to fight, and there are not a few puppet armies in history anyway.

Therefore, Xu Rui is sure that most of the veterans of the National Army will give in.

Wang Husheng frowned and said, "If you have a firm position, you don't want it?" ”

"Lao Wang, you have known me for so long, do you think I will let go of those officers and soldiers who have a firm position?" Xu Rui shook his head and said, "For these veterans with a firm position, we have to find another way." ”

"Think of another way?" Wang Husheng asked, "What way?" ”

"Tell them the truth." Xu Rui said, "You directly tell them that you are the political commissar of the Songhu Military Sub-district of the Communist Party of China, and you were ordered to come to Shanghai to lead the war of resistance behind enemy lines. ”

"Tell them the truth?" Wang Husheng said, "Isn't that good? ”

Liu Mei also shook his head and said: "I also think it's a bit unsafe to do this, many of these veterans of the National Army stranded in Shanghai are old comrades-in-arms of the same platoon or even the same squad, but now some of them know the real details of the Peace Promotion Association, and some people are kept in the dark. ”

Xu Rui hissed and said, "This is indeed a problem, it seems that we have to find another way." ”

"I have a suggestion." Jiang Nan suddenly said, "Why can't we form two armed forces, light and dark?" ”

"Light and dark." Xu Rui's eyes lit up when he heard this, and he said happily, "Jiangnan, you mean that recruiting these veterans of the National Army with a firm stance and forming an anti-war armed force to operate in the open, while our Peace Promotion Association is secretly cooperating with them?" This is indeed a good idea, but in this case, I am afraid that Lao Wang is not suitable to come forward. ”

"Then I'll do it." Jiang Nan said, "Don't forget, my other identity is the black rose of the military commander." ”

Xu Rui said: "That's right, if you don't say it, I forgot that you are still the black rose of the military commander, by the way, hasn't the military commander given you any important instructions recently?" ”

"Nope." Jiang Nan shook his head and said, "I have always been in one-line contact with Li Hongsong, the head of the Shanghai District of the Military Command, and even Dai Li of Chongqing has not been able to contact me directly. ”

"Really?" Xu Rui smiled and said, "In this case, it will be more fun." ”

Wang Husheng immediately asked, "Old Xu, have you thought of any ghost ideas again?" ”

"What the hell do you mean and what the hell do you think of? I'm a golden idea, really. Xu Rui snorted and said, "If this is the case, we can completely use the name of the military commander to form an armed force that can operate openly, and doesn't the military commander have a hurricane team?" I don't think there is a need for another name for this armed force of ours, just call it the Hurricane Team, which will make it easier to confuse the devils and protect themselves. ”

Wang Husheng said angrily: "But the military commander is about to suffer." ”

"That can't be helped." Xu Rui smiled and said in a cruel voice, "Who let them not do their business before, and actually helped the devil and Wang Puppet to deal with us, if it weren't for the military commander's people making trouble behind their backs, the little devil and Wang Puppet No. 76's spies could find out our details so easily?" How could the losses of our Shanghai underground party and the Songhu detachment be so great? If they dare to be the first year of junior high school, don't blame us for doing fifteen! ”

Wang Husheng was helpless and said, "Okay, I agree in principle. ”

Jiang Nan and Liu Mei had no opinion on this, Wu Han only attended the meeting, he did not have the right to vote, so this matter was so determined, first Liu Mei and Wu Han came forward to gather the underground party members scattered and lurking everywhere and the officers and soldiers of the Songhu detachment to the public concession, Wang Husheng and Jiang Nan came forward to recruit veterans of the National Army at the same time.

Xu Rui was not idle, but searched for suitable office space all over Shanghai.

Xu Rui took sweet potatoes and almost visited the two concessions in Shanghai and several districts in China, and finally found a more ideal office location, that is, the Broadway Building at the top of Broadway Road, which was built by the British, and was taken over by the Japanese army after the fall of Shanghai.

It's just that although the Japanese army took over the Broadway Building, they did not dare to sell it, nor did they dare to openly use the Broadway Building for military purposes, because the Japanese government at this time had not yet finalized the direction of the national policy, so it did not dare to provoke Britain too much, so as not to provoke a British counterattack, so the Broadway Building has been idle.

After asking from the Nakamura authorities that the Broadway Building belonged to Yeguang Real Estate Company, Xu Rui took the sweet potato and went directly to the headquarters of Yeguang Real Estate Company.

The headquarters of Yeguang Real Estate Company is located in the Public Concession, not far from the Chinachem Hotel.

The general manager of Yeguang Real Estate Company is named Stockton, and he is a typical Englishman.

The so-called typical British are extremely arrogant, especially looking down on Asians, in their eyes, Asians are even more inferior than African blacks, of course, the Japanese are not included! Through the Russo-Japanese War and the Russo-Japanese War in Qingdao, no Westerner dared to look down on the Japanese.

In fact, the Japanese diplomats dared to openly flout the ruling of the International Court of Justice at the Palais des Nations in Geneva, and only the then Nationalist Government would regard the ruling of the International Court of Justice as a holy decree.

By the way, after the Korean War, no Westerner dared to look down on the Chinese anymore.

From Japan to China, the logic has always been consistent, and the dignity of the nation has never been given by others, but can only be won through fists, blood and life!

Stockton was a typical Englishman, so he behaved very arrogantly.

Stockton was not even willing to explain face-to-face with Xu Rui, and when he learned that Xu Rui was Chinese and not Japanese, he immediately signaled the red-headed Ah San who was watching the gate to come and chase people, and Xu Rui was even more polite, and directly threw the red-headed Ah San to the ground, and also stepped on one of the arms of the red-headed Ah San.
