"Gentlemen, let's put aside the matter of the American newspaper for now!"

A staff officer spoke: "The incident has happened, the emperor is furious, the general of Umezu Mijiro, Lieutenant General Kazuki Seiji and those members of the chaebol royal family are still suffering, we must rescue them as soon as possible - the more they suffer, the more ugly the face of the empire will be, and the majesty of the empire will also lose one more point......"

"I'm sorry for His Majesty the Emperor......"

Hearing this, many generals exclaimed in a trembling voice of guilt, they can imagine how much shame and humiliation the emperor suffered in his heart when he saw these newspapers!

"Your Excellency ...... General"

One of the generals finally stood up and said, "I think that if we want to rescue General Umezu Mijiro, it is best to take two steps!" ”

"Say!"

Matsui Ishone snorted.

"First, test the pressure on the Chiang government, and let ****** force Lu Yuanjiao!"

The general said: "Second, let the intelligence offices of the five provinces try to contact Lu Yuan, no matter what method is used, whether it is exchanged or bought, rescue people first!" ”

"We have just beaten the Chiang government in Wuhan, and ****** prestige among the people of China has been reduced to the freezing point, how can he be willing to cooperate with us?"

A staff officer objected: "As for taking things to Lu Yuan to change people, it is even more impossible - this bastard has captured the generals, but they have not been used to make any demands to us, we have always thought that they are dead, and the news of His Excellency the generals and lieutenant generals again is still from the American newspapers...... Do you think Lu Yuan, this bastard, would choose to do so if he wanted to get something out of us? ”

"So what do you say?"

The general who spoke earlier snorted: "Do you really think that we can rescue Your Excellency the General by attacking Trojan County with a large army?" When we launch an attack, Lu Yuan's bastard is afraid that the first one will kill the general and vent their anger, if they die, how can we explain to His Majesty the Emperor? ”

"Hehe, do you really think that His Majesty the Emperor means that he must rescue His Excellency the General?"

The staff officer sneered: "According to my understanding, His Majesty the Emperor means that it is best to be rescued alive, if not, then let the generals dedicate themselves to the empire with dignity - in this way, at least the face of the empire will not be damaged!" ”

Many generals raised their heads when they heard this, they couldn't believe that His Majesty the Emperor would give such an order to such a meritorious minister of the empire as Lieutenant General Kazuki Seijiro, the general of Umezu Mijiro, but they had to admit that this should be His Majesty's true intention!

After a long while, the previous general said: "Whether you want to rescue Your Excellency the general, or let them dedicate themselves to the empire, it is not an easy thing - we don't even know the specific situation of Trojan County now, how can we know the whereabouts of the general?" ”

"Just do as you say!"

Matsui Shigen finally spoke, and his tone was full of exhaustion: "Putting pressure on the Chiang government, as well as contacting Lu Yuan, both at the same time, no matter what, His Majesty the Emperor must not see the news of His Excellency the General's humiliation......

"Hey!"

Many generals received orders in unison and arranged separately.

"Tell Okamura Ningji that in the outer areas of the Eighth Route Army and Trojan Horse County, strictly block and put pressure on Lu Yuan, but don't rush to attack Trojan County first, wait until the life and death of His Excellency the General and others are confirmed, and then talk about it!" Matsui Ishone commanded.

"Hi ......"

The staff officer took the order and left.

"The road is far, the road is far, the road is far, the road is ......"

Matsui Ishine repeated the name over and over again, every time this name sounded, his heart couldn't help but tingle once, he really didn't understand, the world's strongest Imperial Army, why didn't he have the slightest way to take this bastard? On the contrary, he was humiliated in his hands again and again, and he was disgraced!

Shancheng, Chongqing.

There was no snow, but the air was unusually cold and humid.

Chairman Chiang had a small stove beside him, a thick blanket on his knees, and his eyes squinted slightly as if he were asleep.

On the sofa on the side, sitting were Dai Li, Cheng Qian, Tang Enbo and other trusted cronies of Chairman Jiang.

A secretary was reading the newspaper, pausing from time to time to translate the English into an easy-to-understand and flavorful language, until he had finished reading all the words about Lu Yuan.

When they heard that Umezu Mijiro and others were digging coal in the coal mine, no one was a ghost, no one was allowed to eat, and once a mistake was made, even the old peasants dared to rush up with sticks and beat them violently, everyone present couldn't help laughing, and even Chairman Jiang, who seemed to be following the general, had a smile on the corner of his mouth.

Those present, except for Cheng Qian, Chairman Jiang Dai Li and others have no good impression of Lu Yuan, and even Dai Li is a hateful existence for all military and civilian people, but I have to admit that when they heard the sad and pitiful fate of those once arrogant and invincible devil high-ranking officials, they all felt a bad breath!

No matter what they have done, how many battles they have lost, and how many mistakes they have made, one thing that they have to admit is that in the deepest part of their hearts, they still have some patriotism, and they absolutely do not want to see little devils run rampant and arrogant on the land of their own country.

"Why don't you read it? Finished? Chairman Jiang opened his eyes slightly and asked.

"I've read it all, and the chairman ......"

The secretary smiled at the corners of his mouth, but he never said anything about what he saw.

"I haven't heard enough of it—it's relieving!"

Chairman Jiang smiled, stretched his waist and let the secretary out, and then said: "I really didn't expect that Lu Yuan did so many things silently-meritorious to the nation......

"yes, yes......"

Everyone chimed in, only echoing, but like the secretary, he would never express any opinion until Chairman Chiang expressed his true intentions.

They all knew that all the things that Lu Yuan had done, whether it was in the Jiangsu Plain, Nanjing, Tianjin, Zhongmu, and before that in Shanxi, could not be hidden from Chairman Jiang's ears and eyes.

It's not that he doesn't know, it's just that he doesn't want to know, or he pretends not to know.

"You say, what happened to Lu Yuan?" Chairman Jiang asked.

Everyone fell into silence, and in the end, it was Cheng Qian who broke the silence and said: "Lu Yuan, brave and strategic, and a general, if the chairman is willing to use him, he will definitely be our country. A tiger general in the army! ”

"What do you think?"

Chairman Jiang waited for a while, but when he saw that no one spoke, he couldn't help but ask again.

"Lu Yuan's ability, I am convinced!"

Tang Enbo smiled: "But I always feel that this person is stubborn and self-serving, and it is estimated that no one will accept it except himself-this kind of person will not be willing to be subordinate!" ”
