Chapter 124: A Strange Situation

A series of military operations by the Long Wei Army in Qinghai and Xinjiang immediately shocked both domestic and foreign countries. In particular, the Long Wei Army took Xinjiang, which occupies more than one-sixth of the country's land area, in three days, which made all the forces frightened. With such a strong combat effectiveness of the Dragon Guard, who is the opponent in China?

Nanjing Presidential Palace.

"Darling! I now understand why you married Jiayi to Mu Han, and gave Mu Han such a prominent and important position as vice president, vice chairman, deputy marshal of the army, navy and air force of the National Revolutionary Army, and chairman of the Northwest Defense Committee. This Mu Han's strength is too strong! Over the years, we have been trying to take Xinjiang, but we have not succeeded. But I didn't expect that as soon as you gave Mu Han the title of chairman of the Northwest Defense Committee, he would take it directly! Mrs. Jiang said with emotion.

"Madame! I also retreat as advance, and I have to do it as a last resort! At present, the SPD is rioting everywhere in the country, disturbing the people's minds and seriously threatening the supreme interests of the party-state. In the party, the forces of all factions are ostensibly subordinate to the central government, but at critical moments, they are the masters who listen to propaganda and do not listen to tunes, and they all want to preserve their strength! And the Japanese with wolf ambitions occupy the northeast, and have tens of thousands of soldiers in the south, especially in Shanghai, our situation is extremely bad! I really don't know what the Americans and Germans think, since they openly support us, why they secretly build the strength of Muhan so strong! What are their intentions? President Jiang said with a frown.

"Report to the principal, according to the secret telegram sent by the Northwest Bureau, Mu Han has recruited 200,000 troops again and has been stationed in Xinjiang!" At this time, Dai Li, the head of the military commander, and Yang Yongtai, the senator, joined forces and walked in.

"What? What exactly does this Mu Han want to do? He has formed so many troops again without the consent of the Central Committee, does he really want to win the title of the Central Committee? At this time, President Jiang Da could no longer hold his breath, and conscripted 200,000 troops again, plus the original strength, it reached 800,000, which was already beyond the number of his henchmen.

"Principal, according to intelligence, Mu Han's large-scale expansion of the army does not seem to be to advance into the Central Plains to compete for the world, this time all the conscription troops were stationed in Xinjiang, and at the same time ordered the two group armies of the Long Wei Army to advance in the direction of Mongolia." Dai Lian said cautiously.

"Oh? Could it be that Mu Han really wants to regain the lost ground and fight Lao Maozi? "President Chiang relaxed a little

"Not really!" Yang Yongtai said cautiously, "According to the analysis of the intelligence obtained by the humble position, although this Mu Han does not have much interest in the territory of the country, he is now almost more than half of the country. At the same time, he deployed hundreds of thousands of troops on the borders of Soviet Russia and Mongolia, all of which were in a defensive posture and showed no signs of marching. So his actions are really a bit puzzling. You must know that although Soviet Russia has experienced the Moscow incident and the Brest incident, for the sake of various domestic construction undertakings and in response to the blockade and encirclement of Western countries, Stastois is also trying his best to improve relations with neighboring countries, and even the occupation of Northeast China by small Japan directly threatens the interests of the Far East of Soviet Russia, and Staughett has nothing to say! ”

"Did Mu Han pay more than 10 million taxes this month?" After being silent for a while, Chairman Jiang asked suspiciously.

"Yes, this month, Mu Han paid taxes to the six provinces of Xinjiang, Qinghai, Gansu, Ning, Chacha, and Sui in the name of the Northwest Defense Commission." Yang Yongtai replied in a deep voice.

"Alas, no matter what, Mu Han still has some concept of the overall situation, unlike some people who ask the central government for money and guns at every turn, when they really use them, they are all prevaricating and covering up, even if they obey orders, they can't do anything! Changqing, hasn't Mu Han already played the number of the five group armies? This time, the army has been expanded by 200,000, you go and inform the Ministry of Military Affairs and ask them to give Mu Han the 15th, 16th, 17th, 18th, 19th, 20th, 6 group army numbers! In this way, isn't the Long Wei Army the strength of our National Revolutionary Army on the surface? You have to do this matter in person, and you have to notify Mu Han directly, and ask him to report the establishment of all the Dragon Guards, the station, and the list of military commanders to the Ministry of Military Affairs for the record! President Jiang said with a strange expression.

"Yes, let's do it!"

Urumqi, Xinjiang.

Mu Han transformed the original Xinjiang Provincial Government into the headquarters of the Western Corps, and moved all his family members here. And in order to make up for the lack of talents, Mu Han appointed all nine of his wives. Yan Fenglan was quite business-minded and was appointed Minister of Commerce of the Western Corps; Kong Jiayi likes to call the shots, and was appointed director of the Secretariat of the Western Corps; Zhang Yuwei had a plain temperament and was appointed as the Minister of Education of the Western Corps; Now Mu Han can't cry or laugh at these three women, although he has made it clear that as long as they are willing, Mu Han can really let them go, if they are afraid of the blame and influence of the domestic family forces, Mu Han even said that he can send them abroad, but he doesn't know what Kong Jiayi, Yan Fenglan, and Zhang Yuwei are arcusizing, no matter what Mu Han says, they just don't leave, and they still call themselves Mrs. Mu, Mrs. Mu, and Mrs. Mu San, so that Mu Han's harem is obviously divided into two factions. Although there is no-for-tat confrontation full of gunpowder, it is still indispensable to compete and compete everywhere openly and secretly. Lu Yunting and Lu Hanting were influenced by their families since childhood, learned Chinese and Western cultures, and had some medical skills, and were appointed as the president and vice president of the General Hospital of the Western Corps; Su Huiying had the highest skill among the women, and was appointed as the commander of the guard division of the Western Corps; Huang Xiaowei has been in charge of the work of the women's special operations team and was appointed as the commander of the special operations brigade of the Western Corps; Yue Fengrong was alert and thoughtful, and was appointed director of the Safety Supervision Bureau of the Western Corps; Because Anastasia was pregnant, under the death orders of Mu Tianhao and Zhang Xiagu, as well as the persuasion of Mu Han and his daughters, she was relieved to raise a baby at home.

"Congratulations to the Commander-in-Chief! Now you are worthy of the name of Vice President of the Republic of China, Vice Chairman of the Military Commission, Deputy Marshal of the Army, Navy and Air Force of the National Revolutionary Army, and Chairman of the Northwest Defense Committee! Li Yuri, deputy chief of the general staff of the Long Wei Army and deputy commander of the Western Corps of the Long Wei Army, said with a smile with a secret telegram just sent by the Military and Political Department of the Nanjing Presidential Palace.

"Brother Li! You don't want to fight with me haha! With this time, it is better to think more about how to improve the combat effectiveness of the troops as soon as possible! That bearded guy won't be so willing to be silent, he may not be able to think of some crooked tricks! Mu Han said to the map of the whole of Asia.

"Commander-in-chief, you really don't want to win the Central Plains? Now is a great opportunity! Li Yuri said with some unwillingness, "Now we occupy the six provinces of Xinjiang, Qingdao, Gansu, Ning, Chacha, and Sui, as well as most of Rehe and one part of Hebei, and in a short period of time, Soviet Russia and Japan will not make waves. ”

"O my Chief of Staff! You're really afraid that the world won't be chaotic! Mu Han glanced at his titular first lady, who was sorting out the documents, and Kong Jiayi, director of the Secretariat of the Western Corps, said.

"Commander-in-chief! To borrow your words, it's me! I'm dizzy! I don't believe you're the one who loves beauty more than the country! If you hadn't started planning eight years ago! Li Yuri said with a grin.

Before Mu Han could speak, Kong Jiayi on the side bared her silver teeth and said with a strange smile: "Chief of General Staff Li, you men's affairs, don't make use of our women to be sloppy, even a foreign girl from the fourth lady's family knows the truth of marrying a chicken with a chicken, marrying a dog with a dog, and marrying a monkey all over the mountain!" How can I, as the mother of the main palace, retreat the hind legs of the commander-in-chief? Right, dear? ”

"Hahaha! Commander-in-chief, I really admire you! Tutoring, tutoring! How could Li Yuri not know that the nine ladies of Mu Han were divided into two factions to compete for favor with each other, and now when he saw Kong Jiayi, who was still in a perfect body, said this, he immediately laughed and laughed.

Mu Han glared at Kong Jiayi, and then stretched out his hand to Li Yuri to make a gesture, "What, Brother Li, is your sister-in-law taking you too seriously, so that you can't hook up with the little secretary?" Are you looking for a balance with me? ”

"Well, I'm not even the chief of the General Staff, let alone you husband and wife, two swords combined! Let's get down to business! Chairman Chiang should have been blinded by our thunderous blow in Xinjiang this time, and the same is true for other forces, all the forces bordering us have retreated their defensive lines by 50 miles, and only the SPD has put forward a request to us to support a batch of heavy firepower through Chairman Han Xing in order to break the encirclement and suppression of Chairman Chiang's 600,000-strong army. Li Yuri put away the joke and said.

"Then in Brother Li's opinion, how should we reply to them?" Mu Han frowned and asked.

"Commander-in-chief, please forgive me for being too indulgent, I think you are too good to the SPD, you have supported them so many arms and materials and equipment for free several times, not to mention helping them train their troops, when you got married last year, the assassin Chen Binghui, the SPD has not given us any advice so far, what is this? In any case, he also infiltrated the anti-Japanese government in our northwest as a member of the SPD, otherwise without the cover of this identity, would he have been able to enter? Shouldn't the SPD say something? It's good for them, so far only their No. 6 chief has sent a secret telegram in his private capacity, and it's all right! Some time ago, when you were vice president of the Republic of China, vice chairman of the Military Commission, deputy marshal of the Army, Navy and Air Force of the National Revolutionary Army, and chairman of the Northwest Defense Committee, it was completely like a rejuvenating teacher. And now you're asking for arms again? Let's not talk about what the eldest lady thinks, where are they to you? What do they think of you? Li Yuri said with some excitement.

"Brother Yu Ri, why don't I know about the secret telegram sent by the No. 6 leader of the SPD? What did he say in the message? Mu Han said repeatedly.

"Commander-in-chief, don't say it! The secret telegram sent by the No. 6 leader of the Social Democratic Party is just one sentence, Chen Binghui's case, the situation is complicated, I hope to understand! After receiving the telegram, Chief of General Staff Chen was so angry that he tore up the telegram! That's why I didn't report back to you! Li Yuri said angrily.

"Oh! I know! Then the SPD's request for our weapons was given by the SPD leader to Han Xing's order? Mu Han still asked calmly.

"This Han Xing didn't say specifically, he only said that his teacher Liu Zhixian conveyed to him the supreme instructions of the Central Committee of the Social Democratic Party?" Li Yuri thought for a while and came back.

"Liu Zhixian? Hum! When I got married, if I hadn't been afraid of the feelings of the No. 6 leader of the SPD and Han Xing, I would have gone straight to it! Brother Li, you tell Han Xing about this support, it is a favor to give, and it is your duty not to give! The weapons of our Dragon Guard are used to fight the Japanese, and they are used to recover all the land occupied by foreign enemies! In the future, on the battlefield at home, we will stop all support for the SPD! At the same time, from next month, the taxes paid to the national government will be reduced in order! I also don't want President Chiang to take the tax revenue we offer for guns and guns to shoot his own compatriots! Mu Han said coldly.

"Yes! Commander! I know how to do it! Li Yuri answered, turned around and was about to leave, when a confidential communications soldier ran in with a telegram.

"Commander-in-chief! Deputy Chief of the General Staff! Director Kong! Just now, I have received first-class secret telegrams from the second, third, and fourth armies! Please take a look! The signal soldier respectfully handed the message to Mu Han with both hands, and was just about to turn around and leave, when another confidential signal soldier ran in with the message, "Commander-in-chief!" Deputy Chief of the General Staff! Director Kong! Minister Han sent a special secret message! ”

Mu Han took the secret telegram again, his heart tightened, and then carefully read the two secret telegrams in his hand, and handed them to Li Yuri. Seeing Mu Han's solemn face, Kong Jiayi motioned for the two confidential communications soldiers to leave, and turned around and walked out. It turned out that when Mu Han appointed Kong Jiayi as the director of the secretariat, he set a rule for her: when it comes to secret telegrams and military operations above the first level, she must recuse herself! And she must not divulge any information to the people she brought with her when she got married.

"Commander-in-chief! Can the ciphers sent by the 2nd, 3rd, and 4th armies and the secret telegrams sent by Minister Han be understood to mean that the Russians already knew that the Moscow and Brest incidents were our doings, but there was no conclusive evidence, so they wanted to join forces with the Japanese to launch an infiltration attack against us? Li Yuri said with a solemn face.

It turned out that the secret telegrams sent by the second, third, and fourth armies of the Dragon Guard Army were actually a problem, that is, in the past few days, there have been small armed infiltrations of Soviet Russia and Mongolia, and their combat effectiveness is very strong, and ordinary Dragon Guard soldiers are difficult to be opponents! Although the enemy did not achieve any substantial results in battle under close surveillance, some Dragon Guard sentries and patrol sentries were still killed!

The content of the secret telegram sent by Han Yun, the intelligence minister of the Dragon Guard Army, was that the witch (Kawashima Yoshiko's code name) had just sent a special secret telegram saying that the Russians were secretly in contact with the Japanese, and their intentions were unknown. This was only learned by chance that she overheard a phone call from Kenji Dohihara, the top person in charge of Japan's special high school.

"Brother Yuri, what you said is the worst outcome! Judging from the analysis of the current situation, Staughti must have decided that the Moscow incident and the Brest incident were our faults, but in the absence of conclusive evidence, he had no choice but to send a small group of elite troops with blood for a tooth in order to retaliate! If he really joined forces with the Japanese, he would not have sent a small force to infiltrate us first! The matter of secret contact between the Russians and the Japanese, I'm afraid there is something else! I'm worried about it here! Mu Han pointed to the map of Chahar and the northern part of the Suiyuan region.
