"Commander Luo... Unless what? A large-scale evacuation may have a huge impact, and even the Ministry of Military Affairs may not agree to it, so please think twice..."

Qian Boyong considered his own interests, and of course he was unwilling to evacuate the people easily.

However, although he never took Bai Fei, a small major general, into account, he also knew that now that Nanchang was at a critical moment in wartime, he was likely to be unable to defeat military officials on key resolutions, so he pinned his hopes on Luo Zhuoying. Since he arrived in Nanchang, Qian Boyong has invited guests to dinner and given gifts, and the relationship between the two sides looks good in ushering in the send-off. In his opinion, Luo Zhuoying has a higher official position than Bai Fei, but he knows more about current affairs than Bai Fei, so he should be able to speak for him.

However, unexpectedly, in the end, Luo Zhuoying said that he was relieved of the evacuees.

Qian Boyong was suddenly anxious, for fear that his calculation would fail, and he seemed more anxious than Bai Fei, so he spoke.

Luo Zhuoying saw that he mentioned the Ministry of Military Affairs again, obviously wanting to put pressure on him through words, he felt bored in his heart, stared at him coldly, and said: "For the generals, we think about defeat before we say victory, although we have made preparations, how can the war be satisfactory?" I think General Bai's plan to evacuate the people in advance is feasible, and by evacuating in advance, we can protect our people from the war in large quantities, and we can also let go of our hands and feet to fight to the death with the Japanese army without any scruples, otherwise once the war changes, the first unlucky people will be the tens of thousands of citizens of Nanchang City. Therefore, I support the evacuation. If Mayor Qian feels that we are suspected of trespassing our powers, we can report it to the higher-ups, and I will bear all the responsibilities. However, even in front of Chief He, I also said this. In addition, Mayor Qian sent someone to send a lot of things before, some of which are very valuable, and I have ordered someone to keep them properly, and Mayor Qian can retrieve them all at a later date. Saving people's lives is better than building a seventh-level floating massacre, Mayor Qian must know that the bomb is not long-sighted, and it is the best policy to evacuate as soon as possible, and do not put the safety of the general public at risk because of personal gains and losses..."

Well, Luo Zhuoying's words actually want to say: Don't use the people above to press me at every turn, I'm annoyed. Also, don't think that if you give Lao Tzu some gifts, you can do whatever you want, if Lao Tzu is an idiot, your little thoughts Lao Tzu will already be clear.

After Qian Boyong heard this, his old face turned red, he understood that he was playing off the line, which made this Commander Luo unhappy, and even offered to return his gift in person.

Of course, Luo Zhuoying is actually just saying that, how could Qian Boyong be so ignorant, and dare to really go to ask for the gifts that have been given? Unless he really doesn't want to mix it up.

"This, Commander Luo, where is this? In fact, I was worried that a large-scale evacuation would have a negative impact on Nanchang's military defense plan. Since Commander Luo is in favor of evacuation, starting tomorrow, I will do my best to urge the city government to step up the completion of this plan. ”

Qian Boyong is also a good person, as soon as he saw that the situation was wrong, he immediately changed his position and showed favor to Luo Zhuoying.

Luo Zhuoying obviously didn't want to turn his face with him, and when he saw that Qian Boyong's posture was low, he patted him on the shoulder and said, "Okay, then the evacuation of the people will be handed over to Mayor Qian." ”

"No problem, don't worry, Commander Luo, I promise to complete the evacuation mission as soon as possible!" Qian Boyong agreed, but he could vaguely see a hint of pain on his face, but in this case, no matter how big the loss was, no matter how painful the flesh was, he didn't dare to say anything to refuse.

The two touted each other again, and they seemed to be having a good time. Luo Zhuoying said: "It's not early, let's end the banquet, General Bai has just arrived today and needs to rest, so I'll send General Bai to the barracks." ”

Bai Fei also wanted to leave a long time ago, and when he heard this, he said, "Then thank you Chief Luo." ”

After a few words of greeting, Bai Fei followed Luo Zhuoying out of King Teng's Pavilion, and it wasn't until after getting into the car that Luo Zhuoying pointed at Bai Fei and smiled bitterly: "Zhenyu, Zhenyu, you really don't make people worry, you just came to Nanchang to cause trouble." You said that it was not good for you to offend anyone, and as soon as you came, you offended Qian Boyong thoroughly, and even I had to turn against him..."

Bai Fei said: "It seems that such a local official with a fat brain will be offended if he is offended, what are the regrets?" Moreover, we are here to save the people. ”

"Brain-filled?" Luo Zhuoying shook his head and said: "This old boy has been in charge of Nanchang for almost 7 years, if it weren't for the outbreak of war, his position in Nanchang would still be as stable as Mount Tai, how can the word "brain fat" be completely described?" Don't underestimate him! This old boy is very good at getting things done, and his methods are tactful, and He Yingqin and others are backers in the center, and it is rumored that he is He Yingqin's relative, and even I am not willing to offend him easily..."

Bai Fei was taken aback. Of course, he was not surprised to learn about Qian Boyong's backstage, but said worriedly: "Chief Luo, do you think he will go against the yang and do something when he implements the plan to evacuate the people?" ”

Luo Zhuoying said: "That shouldn't be, the reason why Qian Boyong refused to evacuate was just selfishness, and I don't think he has that much courage." It's just that he is not wrong in what he said. Do you know that in this Nanchang battle, the committee's expectations for us even exceeded the Wuhan Campaign, which is an important transportation town, undertaking things and things, and its importance is self-evident. And now that we are carrying out a large-scale evacuation of people, the direct signal we send to the outside world is that we have no confidence in the battle, so we will evacuate the people ahead of schedule. Evacuation can even have an unseen adverse effect on the entire defense plan. ”

When Luo Zhuoying said this, he threw a cigarette to Bai Fei, he lit one himself and took a puff, and continued: "I know that you evacuated people to protect the safety of the people, but you also need to know that once the evacuation is implemented, this negative impact is also a fact that will inevitably exist. Even if this kind of impact is very small, and it is not even a problem in peacetime, once the war starts unfavorably, I am afraid that it will immediately be realized, and others will say that it is our large-scale evacuation of the people that has affected the morale of the army, and may even become the criminal evidence of our passive resistance to the war. ”

Although Bai Fei knew that what Luo Zhuoying said was a bit exaggerated, he still couldn't help but say: "Since that's the case, then let's fight a few beautiful battles first, and then plug the mouths of those who have a heart first." ”

When Luo Zhuoying heard him say this, her eyes suddenly lit up, and she looked very happy: "Yes, yes, that's exactly what I think." At present, most of the main forces of the Japanese army are still only in the vicinity of Wuhan and the Jiujiang area, and only a small number of troops are approaching and reconnoitring along Poyang Lake day and night, and the water surface is quite uneven. A few days ago, Commander Xue sent a telegram ordering us to lay mines on the surface of the lake in an attempt to control the progress of the Japanese army at Poyang Lake. It is a pity that Nanchang's combat preparedness is insufficient, especially mines, which are very scarce, and all the preaching on the water surface is only a drop in the bucket, plus the Japanese sailors have a mine-sweeping brigade, so the mines cannot form a deterrent to the Japanese ships at all. At present, the Japanese army, with the help of warships, has swept along the river bank by sea and land, and has made rapid progress, reaching the Duchang area in the east and Benghu Lake in the west. ”

"That's the specific situation," Luo Zhuoying gushed about the situation, and then asked: "Zhenyu, what we have to do at present is to win a few battles vigorously and beautifully, I don't know if you have any good ideas to let the Japanese army plant a few big heels?" ”
