The mountain city of Chongqing

The fog was misty, and the river breeze carried the wetness that came to everyone's face, and although it was an early spring morning, it did not make people feel cold.

Lao Jiang got up early in the morning, wearing the eternal gray gown, and carrying the cane that had followed him for many years, and walked leisurely in the garden of Zeng Jiayan's mansion.

Although the garden is not big, in the early spring morning, countless new shoots are spitting out new green, which is refreshing pale green, and this refreshing fresh air, which makes Lao Jiang very comfortable, with a little smile on his face.

Chen Bui and Madame Jiang followed him from a distance, not disturbing his good mood at this time.

"Mr. Chen, Darling hasn't been in such a good mood for a long time, you have to help me persuade him to come out for a walk in the future, and don't stay in the office all day long to deal with official business, which is not good for your health."

"Madam, if I can persuade the president, how dare I work for you?"

Mrs. Jiang was very polite to Chen Bui, and Chen Bui was also very respectful to Mrs. Jiang, and the conversation between the two seemed to be more formal than official exchanges.

"Yes, who else but me can persuade him!" Mrs. Jiang seemed to be talking to herself, and Chen Bui slowly followed as if she hadn't heard it.

"Director Chen, Director Chen."

Two muffled calls came, and Madame Jiang and Chen Bui both heard it, and both of them turned their heads at the same time and looked back.

The one who shouted Chen Bui was one of Lao Jiang's secretaries, as the supreme ruler, Lao Jiang Ke had a lot of secretaries, in fact, Chen Bui could also be regarded as one of his secretaries, and other more famous ones such as Yang Yongtai, who was assassinated, etc. Now this name is Chen Fang, although he is younger than Chen Bui, but he is also a person who is deeply respected by Lao Jiang.

After obtaining Mrs. Jiang's consent, Chen Bui walked to Chen Fang's side, only to hear him say a few words, and he called out in surprise: "Really? ”

"True, Director." As Chen Fang spoke, he handed him a folder and said, "Director, there are three telegrams here, one is from Commander Xue, one is from Commander Luo, and the other is a secret telegram from the Japanese army intercepted by Director Dai, all of which are about the war at the top of the country. ”

"Great! That's great! Chen Bui was overjoyed, and said two in a row that was great.

"What are you so happy about?" A sentence with a thick Zhejiang accent came over, and it was obvious that the conversation between them was overheard by Lao Jiang.

"President, good news, great news." Chen Bui hurriedly walked over, and the smile on his face was brighter than a flower.

"Oh, I can't wait to find out what makes Hikoji-san so happy."

"President's ......"

"Yan Ji, don't say it yet, let me guess first." Lao Jiang was already in a good mood in the morning, but now he was even happier when he heard Chen Bui's words, so that this idea germinated.

"Darling, when did you become a fortune teller?" Madame Chiang quipped.

"Madame, you don't know anything about this. Our Mr. Hikoji, who has seen a big scene, can ordinary things make him happy like this? It's hard to guess, but I think it's a very simple thing. Lao Jiang replied to Mrs. Jiang's words, and when he said these words, he also looked at Chen Bui twice. It's no wonder that Lao Jiang has this self-confidence, Chen Bui has followed him all his life, for this right-hand man, if Lao Jiang can't figure it out, how can he trust him so much.

"Darling, when you say this, I'm really interested, and I really want to see if you guess correctly." Madame Jiang looked at Lao Jiang with a smile, in her eyes, in her heart, the dictator who had been slandered by countless people was the most perfect person in the world.

"Yan Ji, the big joy you said is that Jiangxi has won a big battle!"

Lao Jiang's words surprised Chen Bui.

"How do you know?"

"Your expression tells me." Lao Jiang said with a smile: "Since the declaration of war against Japan, whether it is the central army or the local army, although it is said that there are more defeats and fewer victories, but it has also fought some beautiful battles. So I wondered if Sun Yumin's kid had done something amazing again. ”

"President, you guessed too accurately, Yanji sighed to himself." Chen Bui has been following Lao Jiang for too long, and he heard several meanings from this passage, among which he can feel the most is that Lao Jiang's words have some vigilant meaning, which can't help but make him beat a drum in his heart and think carefully.

"Yan Ji, let's talk about it, what great achievements has your precious son-in-law made." Lao Jiang was a little proud.

"President, that kid led his troops to forcibly eat the 34th Division of the Japanese Army last night, killed one commander of the Japanese Major General's Brigade and one Dazuo, killed more than 10,000 enemies, captured several artillery pieces, and countless guns and ammunition." When Chen Bui said these words, he deliberately controlled his emotions, but Lao Jiang and Madame Jiang still saw him smiling.

"Darling, congratulations, you've won another big battle." Mrs. Jiang said with a smile: "Mr. Yanji, congratulations to you, you have such a powerful son-in-law, you two sons-in-law really deserve to be the humerus ministers of the party-state, with you two here, it really saves a lot of thought for Darling." ”

"Madame is very right, Mr. Wen Youyan and Mr. Wu Youyumin, your son-in-law really took a lot of thought for me." Lao Jiang said: "Actually, I received a telegram from Boling and Luo Zhuoying yesterday, and they informed me of Sun Yumin's plan to fight with the devils. The character of your son-in-law has always been retribution, and this week's time has been pressed and beaten, I'm afraid I have already endured it to the extreme, and Oga Shigeru will suffer a big loss if he touches his moldy head. ”

Lao Jiang seems to have done his homework a long time ago, Chen Bui is thinking, is he getting up so early, is he waiting for a high good news?

"Hikoji, what are you thinking?" Lao Jiang saw that Chen Bui was stunned, and asked him.

"President, I'm thinking that this time the devil has planted such a big heel in Jiangxi, he will definitely not give up, and Sun Yumin, this kid, must have become their number one target......

Chen Bui wasn't thinking about what he said just now, but Lao Jiang suddenly asked, which was just right to go up and help this kid get some benefits, but before he finished speaking, he was interrupted by Lao Jiang.

"I have already considered this, in fact, when the 101st Division of the Japanese Army was annihilated, I had the intention to transfer Sun Yumin to Hunan, but I heard Dai Li say that this kid bought some weapons from the Americans, so he asked him to reorganize the troops in Jiangxi. After inflicting heavy losses on the 34th Division, the Japanese army will definitely find all ways and means to retaliate against him, whether it is public or private, I will transfer him and his troops, so you can rest assured. ”

Lao Jiang's words are what Chen Bui is most happy to hear, he is not a selfish person, but he has invested a lot of energy in this son-in-law, this may be a manifestation of love for the house and Wu, he grafted all the debts to Lu Man to Sun Yumin, if one day, knowing that his baby daughter has broken up with him, I am afraid that he will suffer the biggest blow.

"Hikoji, after all that, I haven't seen the message yet. You said earlier that you killed a Japanese major general? Who is this man? What position? ”

Lao Jiang's good mood continued, and he even stretched out his hand to ask Chen Bui to read the original draft of the telegram.

Xue Yue and Luo Zhuoying's telegrams were similar, apparently Sun Yumin reported to Luo Zhuoying, Luo Zhuoying reported to Xue Yue, and then reported it again after a slight modification, and the specific situation of the war was only vague.

"It seems that Boling and they don't know much, and they can only know it after Sun Yumin reports the battle situation." Lao Jiang seemed unsatisfied, he didn't see what he wanted to know from the telegram, he seemed to be a little disappointed, and actually asked Chen Bui: "You say, why hasn't Sun Yumin's battle report been reported yet, and I plan to let the newspaper report on him well." ”

"Maybe it's still being counted," Chen Bui responded: "They fought this battle all night, and the battle report shouldn't come out so quickly." However, Director Dai's people probed on the intelligence of the Japanese army, and the Japanese major general who was killed by Sun Yumin's department last night was Major General Iwanaga Wang, commander of the 34th Division's Iwanaga Brigade, and there was also a Captain Osaku named Hamada. ”

While speaking, Chen Bui handed over the information presented by Chen Fang's Dai Li's Military Command Bureau.

"Relieve gas, relieve gas!" Lao Jiang was very happy, he said: "Xunchen died in Zaozhuang, and Yuanbu and Ichiro were all soft persimmons for the generals of our army, and they bullied no one in our army. In these two battles in Yumin Jiangxi, I killed a lieutenant general division commander and a major general brigade commander, and I was so angry for me that I was really relieved of my hatred. ”

"President, there are many generals in the national army who can fight well, generous and heroic, like General Wang Yaowu, General Luo Zhuoying, and so on, although Yumin has a small merit, but you don't appreciate it too much, he is still young, once it is too inflated, he will suffer a big loss."

"Yan Ji, what you said is very right, but you must also understand that in such a time of national disaster, such a great achievement will chill the soldiers who are fighting bloody battles on the front line. As for Yumin, you have to be a good student to teach and teach, I heard Yunong say that he sold a batch of weapons and equipment, and the buyer is still from that side, you help me tell him, I hope there will be no next time for this kind of thing. ”

Chen Bui listened to the first half of Lao Jiang's sentence very comfortably, but he didn't expect that he actually turned around and mentioned this matter, which caught Chen Bui off guard, Dai Li told him about it, and also clearly told him that Sun Yumin didn't know that the buyer was the New Fourth Army. Chen Bui thought that this matter would stop at him, but he didn't expect Dai Li to report it to Lao Jiang, this sudden crisis made Chen Bui's palms sweat violently, and he hurriedly explained: "President, my son-in-law, who is not long-sighted, is crazy to think about money, so he will do such a foolish thing." When Yunong told me about this, I was really angry, if it wasn't for the fact that he really didn't know, I didn't need you to do it, and I would have punished him with my own family law. ”

"Mmmmmm, for Yan and I are 10,000 rest assured, Yumin, young man, it's normal not to notice for a while, plus he bought that batch of American-style equipment and really hollowed out his family, thinking about using the exchanged weapons and equipment to exchange for some cash, it's also human nature, this is not to blame him. Let this matter pass like this, you and I should not mention it again, but you should also remind him that some mistakes are enough to be committed once, and if they are repeated and repeated, it is disloyalty to the party-state, and even if he kills the emperor himself, there is no place for me. ”

Although Lao Jiang's words seemed to excuse Sun Yumin, Chen Bui knew that the focus of what he said was the last sentence of "disloyalty to the party-state" and "no place". This is already a clear telling to Chen Bui that if Sun Yumin has entanglements with that side again, even if he has great merit, even if he is your Chen Bui's son-in-law, he will rest and have a better day, although Lao Jiang did not say that the consequences were particularly serious, but he knew that once Lao Jiang gave up, it would basically announce the "capital punishment" of their Weng and son-in-law.

This stinky boy, every time he gives himself a face, he has to give himself a big problem, which is really both happy and a headache.

Chen Bui sighed and said, "President, if my son-in-law can train by my side for a few more years before he is released to lead the troops, this kind of thing will definitely not happen, he is still too young in the end." People are really like this, the mistakes made when they are young often have to be repaid in a lifetime. Fortunately, the mistakes made by Yumin can be reversed, and thank you to the president for trusting us and Weng and his son-in-law. ”

"Yan Ji, it's not terrible to make mistakes, it's terrible to know your mistakes and make mistakes again, Yumin is in a high position at a young age, and he has a lot of responsibility, so it is inevitable that he will not be self-aggrandizing, we can't just think about blindly demanding, blindly suppressing, and ignoring to guide and guide."

"What you said is that I will discipline and supervise him strictly." Hearing Lao Jiang's words, Chen Bui secretly breathed a sigh of relief, he knew that today's level was over. Lao Jiang can say such things, which means that he is not too dissatisfied, and Sun Yumin's position in his heart has not changed.

"Yan Ji, after Yumin reports the good news, let the newspaper publicize him more, I heard Yunong say that after the martyrdom of the country, the whole of Japan is cheering, so why can't we make the people happy?"

Lao Jiang's mentality is like a childishness, but in fact it is a counterattack after suffering humiliation, not to mention that Sun Yumin's victory on the high ground has given him enough reason to raise his eyebrows and puff up, and he does not publicize it much, wouldn't he let down the soldiers who fought bloodily on the battlefield.

"Yes, President, I'll do it right away." Chen Bui responded, he turned around and wanted to leave, but suddenly remembered something, he asked again: "President, you said earlier that the 12th Army fought hard during this period of time, and inflicted heavy losses on two divisions of the Japanese army in a row, and I was worried that they would be targeted by the Japanese army, and wanted to redeploy them to recuperate. Don't know where you're going to transfer them? What's more, their supplies are sent by the Ninth War Zone, and if the Twelfth Army is withdrawn too far, it may cause some other troubles, and Chen Cheng and He Yingqin seem to be trying their best to recruit him. Look at this......"

Chen Bui didn't finish his words, he was very smart and threw this big problem directly to Lao Jiang.

As the two most trusted henchmen of Lao Jiang, no matter who Sun Yumin relies on, it will be beneficial and harmless.

The civil engineering department has the 18th Army, with powerful characters such as Luo Zhuoying, and He Yingqin has the 74th Army on his side, with fierce figures such as Wang Yaowu. No matter which side gets Sun Yumin's Twelfth Army, the balance will be broken, and how Lao Jiang balances it does have to take some thought.
