"There are nearly 100,000 Japanese troops on the periphery of Nanjing, and the Japanese fleet cooperates with the blockade of the Yangtze River, and the Japanese planes have completely mastered the air superiority and artillery superiority!"

Lu Yuan said in a deep voice: "Not to mention that the Japanese soldiers are well-trained and well-equipped, and the soldiers who defend the city, nearly half of the recruits, the old, the weak, the sick and the disabled, among them, there are more soldiers who retreated from Shanghai and were reorganized, these people are tired, and it is impossible to hold Nanjing after a low morale in Shanghai!" ”

"Yes, yes, Commander Tang, anyone with a little discerning eyes can see that it is impossible to hold Nanjing!"

"That's right, evacuate as soon as possible, you can still save a little bit of strength, if you continue to fight hard, there will definitely be no good results"

Many generals suddenly said nonsense, and their eyes at Lu Yuan suddenly became much gentler and kinder, and even Tang Shengzhi, who was embarrassed by Lu Yuan's public threats, couldn't help but echo and advocated evacuating as soon as possible.

Looking at the expressions of these generals, Lu Yuan couldn't help but feel gloomy, although he knew that officialdom was like this, there were no absolute enemies, only absolute interests, as long as the two sides had the same position, even if they were tense one second, it would not prevent everyone from standing in the same trench the next second.

Although the thoughts of these generals are the same as his, it still makes Lu Yuan feel full of unpleasant feelings.

Although it is a fact that Nanjing cannot be defended, and evacuation is also the right choice, these generals only think about taking their own troops or evacuating by themselves, and they do not mention even half a sentence about the people of Nanjing!

Not only do they not want to fight, they don't even want anything, whether it is the honor of the soldiers, the dignity of their family and country, they don't care about anything, they just want to survive.

Looking at these people, Lu Yuan seemed to see why the Nationalist Government would be completely defeated in just two or three years, and such a decadent and corrupt bureaucratic class had completely lost the support of the people, because they only cared about themselves and did not care about the lives of the people.

Although Tang Shengzhi has all kinds of bad points and lacks basic military talents, compared with these generals and officials, compared with the smoky bureaucratic atmosphere inside, he can be regarded as out of the mud and unstained.

At least, he still has a little bit of military blood!

"Humph!"

Listening to Lu Yuan's words, as well as the discussions of those generals, Tang Shengzhi's face turned blue with anger in an instant, he was expecting Lu Yuan to become his loyal supporter, but he didn't expect that Lu Yuan not only did not accept his reward, but now he was even singing against him in public, and the old man with a big face asked: "According to what you say, compared with the Japanese army, our defenders in Nanjing are just a mess of mud and useless?" ”

Many generals did not speak, because they really could not find any advantage over the Japanese army.

"In fact, we have a lot of soldiers who dare to fight, want to fight, and are not afraid of death, compared with the Japanese army, they are full of enthusiasm and desperately want to defend Nanjing and defend the dignity of the motherland."

Lu Yuan said excitedly: "However, we can't expect them to win this battle with unparalleled determination and courage In front of the aircraft artillery, courage is really very fragile."

In fact, he wanted to say that the soldiers tried their best to fight, but the officers desperately wanted to escape, and then the army would become a swarm of headless flies and completely lose its organization and combat effectiveness.

This situation is not impossible to solve, or even very easy to solve.

Remove all the generals who want to escape and want to run out or shoot them, and hand over the command to those who really have the courage to fight hard with the Japanese army.

When the time comes, after Nanjing, every time the little devil wants to wreak havoc on this land, when he thinks of this battle, he must weigh it carefully.

However, although Tang Shengzhi is now the commander of Nanjing, let alone shooting a certain general, even if he removes anyone, he does not have the power and courage!

The current internal officialdom is clearly a deformed power layer maintained by relationships, with many factions each dominating, and although there are obviously countless soldiers who have the courage to shed blood, they have never been able to twist them all into a rope and work hard in one place.

In the final analysis, in any war, although there are few people at the decision-making level, they are the key to truly determining the combat effectiveness of the troops.

"Shut up!"

Tang Shengzhi roared angrily: "I tell you, I just don't believe that Nanjing really can't be defended, this is our current national capital, I will never let the tragedy of the Eight-Nation Alliance's capture of Beijing City happen under my Tang Shengzhi's nose, prepare me to fight to the death, if anyone dares to run, Lao Tzu will kill him!" ”

Many gossiping generals shut up in unison, but the look on their faces was not moved or determined to fight against the water, they looked at Tang Shengzhi's eyes, with an incomprehensible look of watching people drill the horns of the bull, and at the same time made up their minds one by one to contact the military headquarters and Chairman Chiang as soon as possible after leaving here, and try to get themselves out of Nanjing.

"Commander"

Lu Yuan wanted to persuade again, but he was dragged by Xiao Shanling's arm and glared at him, obviously telling him not to talk anymore, after all, no matter how heroic he was, he was just a grass-headed soldier after all, without an official and a half-job, and he had no backing in the army.

And Tang Shengzhi is angry now, if Lu Yuan really provokes Tang Shengzhi completely, it will definitely not end well.

Lu Yuan shut up knowingly, watching the fate of Nanjing City slide towards hell along the trajectory of history.

A meeting that originally thought it could regain confidence ended in such a hurry, and the generals left in a hurry, refusing to stay for a moment, and it was estimated that they all went back to discuss countermeasures with their direct superiors, Tang Shengzhi also turned around and left, not wanting to look at Lu Yuan at all.

From being welcomed by many high-ranking generals when he came, to now this kind of scene that no one pays attention to, after only a short period of ten or twenty minutes, the gap is so big that he feels that he is not having an unrealistic dream.

"Commander Tang can't listen to anything now, you can't persuade him!"

Xiao Shan ordered, his impression of Lu Yuan was very good: "I didn't expect you to really assassinate Gu Shoufu, I thought that in the past few days, you don't know where to escape!" ”

"I am a soldier, and the word retreat can be included in the dictionary of soldiers, but there should never be the word escape, because that often means a rout that cannot be contained!"

Lu Yuandao, stretched out his hand and pointed to an officer who was hurrying out not far away, and said, "That is Song Xilian of the 36th Division?" Can Commander Xiao introduce me to me? ”
