Chapter Ninety-Nine: Service
Li Kongrong didn't want to talk any further, he just wanted to go back to the dormitory as soon as possible and think about his next move - he had many ideas to realize, and it would take a lot of money to realize them, and he had to find a way to make a profit before he could dig up the wreck. Pen %Fun %Pavilion www.biquge.info but Jiang Baili talked about sexuality, he turned back to the topic that Li Kongrong said before, and said: "When does Hansheng think Nanjing will be lost?" ”
"It depends on whether the defenders of Shanghai will collapse." Li Kongrong was a little distressed, history has changed, and he is no longer a god with the ability to predict. "If the defenders of Shanghai can steadily retreat and rely on the defense line to resist the enemy, then if the loss is not due to the increase of Japanese troops, or because the Japanese army in North China is moving south, Xuzhou is lost and has to abandon Nanjing. Didn't the ancients say that defending the river must defend Huai, and now the Japanese army is moving along the west of the river, and what can stop them is the Jiangyin fortress, but if you can't beat it on land, what is the use of a fortress? ”
"Hansheng still thinks that it is not possible to start a war in Shanghai?" Jiang Baili asked with a smile.
"The war in Shanghai is self-defeating." Li Kongrong reiterated the old saying, "It is even more foolish to think that the fierce battle in Shanghai will cause international interference." Once Shanghai collapsed, then the fall of Nanjing would follow. If the time is not seized to retreat, even if Japan does not make a detour and relentlessly increases its troops, it can achieve the effect of breaking down the defenders and taking advantage of the victory to pursue. On the other hand, it is an exaggeration to say that if the Japanese army can be held back on the defense line and Xuzhou, so that the battle line is stalemate, China and Japan may automatically cease fighting. ”
Li Kongrong said one of his own ideas, but when he thought of the reality, he shook his head again and said, "But this is obviously unlikely." At present, the Japanese army has less than 300,000 troops actually fighting, and if Japan mobilizes on a large scale and adds 10 more divisions, it should be able to reach Wuhan. ”
"But if Shanghai does not go to war and does not clear the enemy's strongholds, it will be very difficult for Nanjing to defend." Jiang Baili said. "And if the main force of the Japanese army is not led to Shanghai, and the Japanese army in North China is allowed to move south to occupy Wuhan along the Jinpu and Pinghan lines, it will be even more unfavorable to the overall situation against Japan."
"Then may I ask Zhang Zhizhong, the chicken thief, who did it?" Li Kongrong was no longer polite, and bluntly said that Zhang Zhizhong was a chicken thief, and Jiang Baili was not very happy to hear this, although Li Kongrong was a navy, but Zhang Zhizhong was a lieutenant general after all. It's just that Li Kongrong didn't want to talk to him more, and second, he didn't care about the Nanjing Nationalist Government, so he continued to say unceremoniously: "If you don't do it, the result is that you steal chickens and don't eat rice." Originally, it was only a war in North China, but now it immediately turned into a full-scale war of resistance, and the process of the war accelerated for at least half a year.
If even half of the 700,000 troops in the Shanghai battlefield were transferred to Shanxi, what about the Battle of Shanxi? Zhili is a plain, but Shanxi is a basin! The Japanese army had five and a half divisions in Shanghai with more than 140,000 men, and in Shanxi it was five divisions with 140,000 men; However, on our side, there were about 100 divisions and 7.8 million people on the Songhu battlefield, but on the Shanxi battlefield there were only a pitiful 34 divisions, 13 brigades, and 310,000 people. Both battlefields were fought for three months, and the results were almost the same: Shanghai and Taiyuan were about to fall. If Shanghai had not started a war at the beginning, and all the existing forces of the two sides had been transferred from North China, 1.1 million against 280,000, they would have been able to resist for a longer time, and the Japanese army would naturally have stopped fighting if it could not move. ”
"What if the Japanese army lands in Shanghai?" Jiang Baili said with a smile, he felt that Li Kongrong was talking on paper.
"Resist with the remaining troops along the national defense line, and then move the capital to Chongqing." After Li Kongrong finished speaking, he said: "Japan does not have an overall plan to invade China, and landing in Shanghai with the intention of Nanjing will be the beginning of an all-out war of resistance, and if a local war is turned into a full-scale war, and then it will be mired in the big mud pond of China, the Japanese politicians and chaebols may not agree, and opening another battlefield and leaving their subordinates alone are fundamentally two different things." ”
"How does Hansheng know that Japan has no plan to destroy me?" Jiang Baili smiled even more, and his head began to shake.
Jiang Baili's words said the key to the difference in cognition between the two - Jiang Baili has always believed that there must be a war between China and Japan, and the Japanese will not die to destroy me, so since it is launched, there must be a plan to destroy China completely; Li Kongrong, on the other hand, knew very well that Japan did not have an overall plan in the early stage of the war, and that when North China started the war, it did not want to start a war in Shanghai, and when Shanghai started the war, it was not allowed to cross the line of Suzhou and Jiaxing, let alone attack Nanjing, and after occupying Nanjing, it did not want to attack Wuhan immediately, and after occupying Wuhan, it still did not want to immediately occupy Chongqing ....... It's not that the aggressors are merciful, it's that they take it for granted.
However, the party-state was incompetent, more than 70 people were defeated and retreated by 140,000 people, Jinshan Weiyi landed, and the 10th Army Yanagawa Heisuke ignored the operational guidance of the staff headquarters and walked alone on the Pingwang Jiaxing line, and then pursued in parallel across Taihu Lake, and followed all the way to Nanjing. Hundreds of thousands of defeated troops could not be defeated, and it was impossible to organize an effective defense by throwing away their armor and armor, and the defense of Nanjing could not be completed. Of course, the party-state always has to cover up its own incompetence, and in addition to vigorously advocating that the Japanese government has already planned to destroy China, it also praises Chang Kaishen for mobilizing the axis of the Japanese army's offensive and turning the north and south into east and west, so that the Japanese army will attack along the Yangtze River and our army will have the upper hand.
Exhaled deeply, Li Kongrong, who didn't want to talk anymore, got up and said, "Since there is nothing to do today, then the next official will leave!" ”
"Doesn't Hansheng want to talk to me, an old man?" Jiang Baili had long seen that Li Kongrong wanted to leave, but he always felt that this person's knowledge was extraordinary, and his love for talents had risen. Although he doesn't know much about the navy, since Li Kongrong understands the army, he naturally has a unique insight into the navy, and such a person should be reused by the party-state.
"The lower official is only assisting General Chiang in negotiating with Germany, today is Saturday, since he does not negotiate with Germany, then the lower official will leave." Li Kongrong did not smile and turned around.
"Hansheng, you can't do this," Jiang Baili said bluntly. Although Li Kongrong was not disrespectful in his words, he stayed away from himself everywhere, Jiang Baili wanted to have a good talk today, whether it was to accept a disciple or make a New Year's friend, he just wanted him to be on the right path and be used by the country. Before he started talking, he was about to leave. "You are talented, but if you are talented, you must be appreciated and have the opportunity to show it, and it is not okay to always complain."
Jiang Baili was amiable, and Li Kongrong became more and more tired of it, he smiled dryly, and said: "I understand Jiang Lao's kindness, but I really disdain the ...... of appreciating or something, giving an opportunity or something!" ”
"Li Hansheng! Now that the nation is in crisis, how can you be arrogant and willful! Jiang Baili was also unhappy, he was about to point at Li Kongrong, but thinking that he was young and vigorous when he was young, he endured it.
"I don't dare to be willful." Li Kongrong is not afraid of offending Jiang Baili, even if he does not wear this military uniform, he has a way to resist Japan. "The subordinate officials go to work on time every day and fulfill their duties, how can there be any recklessness? Don't please a bunch of philistines, otherwise you will be willful? If you have talent, you have to use it, otherwise you will be willful? Let's tell the truth, I don't believe in what is good for the world at all, I buy two portions of meat when I have money, eat one and throw one away, and only do what I want to do, what does the world have to do with me? ”
Before Jiang Baili understood the meaning of 'eat one and throw away', Li Kongrong saluted and went out. As soon as Li Kongrong left, Jiang Ying, who had been hiding in the inner room, ran out and said with a smile, "Father, Lieutenant Colonel Li has this temper, and my mother also said that you used to have such a temper......
"Nonsense!" Although Jiang Baili loves Li Kongrong and talented, he disagrees with the meaning of Li Kongrong's last sentence. As a child of Confucianism, this kind of selfish and self-interested behavior should naturally be criticized.
Father was furious, and Jiang Ying immediately restrained her smile. After Li Kongrong's car accident, she also visited him in the hospital. The mature man is handsome and talented, and his wife is tragically murdered by the Japanese (she thinks that the beautiful woman in the wedding dress in the bedside photo is Mrs. Li), and the girl Huaichun can't help but have some thoughts. Now Li Kongrong is assisting her father in negotiations with Germany, and she runs to her father's side whenever she has the opportunity.
"Father, you can dissipate your anger, if you are angry, your mother will say that we don't take good care of us." Jiang Ying said, turned her head again and said, "Xiaohe, come to the good Biluo Spring and soak it for my father." ”
As a father who loves his daughter or not his son, Jiang Ying and Jiang served here, and Jiang Baili's anger suddenly dissipated most of it. Jiang Ying, who was beating her back, slowly relieved when she saw a smile, and didn't want Jiang Baili to suddenly turn her head and say, "You are not allowed to interact with him again in the future!" ”
As soon as these words came out, Jiang Ying's hand beating her back immediately stopped, and it would be different if she beat it harder. Jiang Baili also guessed a thing or two about his daughter's thoughts, and he said: "A person who is talented but lonely, and is not used by the country and the nation, is not supposed to criticize." Li Hansheng is ......"
"Yes, my father is right." Jiang Ying didn't speak, and Jiang He, who came over with tea, opened his mouth, "A person has money but only spends it for himself, and doesn't take it out and give it to the country, then it shouldn't be, and he should be arrested." ”
"What do you mean by that?" Jiang Ying looked at her sister with a smile, while Jiang Baili glared at her youngest daughter.
"Isn't that what my father said?" Jiang He asked rhetorically. "Lieutenant Colonel Li's current military attache in Germany, it's good to do his job well, and it's his freedom to please Shangguan or not. Father said that he was talented, and if he was talented, he shouldn't have to curry favor with Shangguan, so many people who resigned from government in ancient times shouldn't be. ”
didn't expect her daughter to say such a truth, Jiang Baili was stunned for a moment before saying: "In ancient times, he was the emperor of ****, and now he is the national government, how can the two be the same?" Now is the time of the Anti-Japanese War and the danger of the nation......"
In the apartment, Jiang Baili began to quarrel with his two baby daughters, but Li Kongrong, who had already gotten in the car and left, smoked a cigarette. Of course he wouldn't think about Jiang Baili, isn't he just a doorman who eats and retires under Chang Kaishen's door now? This old doorman wants to sell him to Chang Kaishen as well, in the name of 'providing you with opportunities and displaying your talents'. Bah! Even if he serves Chang Kaishen, why should he sell himself? Flattering Chang Kaishen? - Lord, this time I went to Germany, I found a talent ......, what a dog slave!
In ancient times, there were few official and military positions, and there were many talented people who had no way, but as a traverser, there would be a lack of stage? ! Since there is no shortage of stages, why bother to praise Chang Kaishen's stinky feet? The War of Resistance can actually be opened! Chang Kaishen, an old rascal, was fighting on the shore, and he led the ship to lead Nimitz to fight at sea, so why not be able to exterminate the IJN as soon as possible and land in Tokyo Bay?
Thinking of the landing in Tokyo Bay, Li Kongrong did not want to go back to the dormitory, so he asked the adjutant Zhong Qianqian Gong to find a café that was not very noticeable, and after entering, he called Susan Esposi, and about half an hour later, the woman came.
"Is anyone following?" This was the first time the two had met since the crash, although Susan had been asking to see each other before.
"Nope." Susan obviously changed her dress, her body was full of high-end clothes, and the smell of perfume was not as strong as before, it seemed that this woman had begun to be high-end and high-grade. She looked at Li Kongrong carefully and said, "You are not very healthy?" ”
I almost lost my life in a car accident and was discharged from the hospital early, how good can it be? Fortunately, he was in the prime of life, otherwise Li Kongrong would have returned to the hospital to recuperate. "The last intelligence caused Japan to lose more than 40,000 soldiers, and several warships were sunk, and the matter is very big, the Japanese government will definitely investigate the spies, and I am afraid that it will be difficult for Mr. Takano's intelligence to come again in the future."
"Is this true?" Susan was obviously taken aback, although she didn't know the results of Nanjing's acquisition of information, what Li Kongrong said was not impossible. "Later...... What do we do in the future? ”
"We?" Li Kongrong smiled, he saw Susan grasp the Fiat car keys in her hand more tightly - this woman can only return to the previous life without selling information, which is unacceptable to her. After deliberately delaying for a long time, Li Kongrong said when she was extremely uneasy: "A friend plans to open a company in Europe, but there is no suitable person to take care of it, if you are interested......"
"Company?" Susan's eyes widened suddenly, and she said, "I am very familiar with Europe and can serve your friends. ”
"Do you know any big names in Germany or Italy?" Li Kongrong asked with a smile, "It doesn't matter if you don't know each other now, the key is whether you can know each other in the future." ”
"I can recognize, at least Italy." Susan said. However, she was a little vigilant and asked rhetorically, "Are you going to be a spy?" ”
"Of course...... No. Li Kongrong still laughed. Since it's a company, it's a business, but it's an industrial company, and it's going to be incorporated in Switzerland, so it's just going to take some ...... Some industrial technology, mind you, is just industrial technology, not a military secret, it's a very dangerous thing, and we don't have to take risks. ”
"What do I need to do?" Susan lights a cigarette. "How much do I get paid?"
"A thousand marks a month, that's enough to sustain you. Another completed piece pays 20,000 marks. Li Kongrong offered a high price, which was enough to make Susan Esposi's heart flutter.
Sure enough, her eyes lit up, and 20,000 marks was more than one intelligence income. "What am I going to do?"
"I first found Mr. Paul Schmidt in Germany, I heard that he had invented a strange aircraft engine, but no one invested in it, so I thought I could buy ......it," Li Kongrong laughed and made no secret of it. (To be continued.) )
