After receiving the good news of the teacher's occupation of Tianjin, Lin Sen, chairman of the National Political Axe, who will turn 70 in more than 20 days, excitedly recited Buddhist scriptures for half an hour. After reading, the old man Lin Sen cleaned his hands and worshiped incense, inscribed the four big characters of "The War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression" for the head instructor Liu Yimin, and asked the secretary to withdraw 200,000 yuan from his private savings and transfer it to the [***] representative, explaining that it was the reward of the chairman of the national political axe to the hero's mentor.

After doing all this, Lin Sen felt that it was not enough, picked up the pen, and began to write the article "Fighting Together, Winning the War of Resistance", ready to be published in the newspaper. The article said that the recapture of Tianjin this time fully proves that the army is not terrible, and what is terrible is that we do not have the belief in a decisive victory. Why did the instructor set out to make great achievements and open famous cities one after another? One of the important reasons is that he is not afraid of the enemy, he is not afraid of the enemy, and he dares to stab the enemy in the heart. Compared with those generals and provincial chairmen who retreated thousands of miles after hearing the alarm, the instructor can be described as a model of our army.

Writing and writing, Lin Sen felt in good spirits, and with a turn of his pen, he wrote: "In particular, the tutor publicly announced the verdict of the Han Annihilation spies on behalf of the national political axe in Tianjin, which is very happy. The special agent Mokawa Hidehe, who started the Lugou Bridge Incident, was executed, Yoshiko Kawashima, who participated in the planning of the 918 Incident and the 128 Incident, was executed, Yin Rugeng, who took the lead in launching a rebellion in eastern Hebei and established a puppet political axe, was executed, Gao Lingwei, who opened the door to welcome the thief and established the puppet Tianjin Maintenance Association, was executed, and a large number of Han annihilations who were willing to take revenge and act as lackeys of the Yue Kou were all executed, maintaining the dignity of national law and upholding justice, which fully shows that there is no good end when the Han Annihilation is not good! In my capacity as chairman of the National Political Axe, I would like to warn those who have already become Han Zhan and those who are willing to be Han Zhan to immediately restrain themselves from the precipice and change their past wrongs. Otherwise, the reconquest of the lost land is said to be when the Han Dynasty was punished, as evidenced by the fate of Yin Rugeng and Gao Lingwei. ”

After writing, Lin Sen asked the secretary to immediately take it to the newspaper and radio to publish it, and began to copy the Buddhist scriptures to pray for the blessings of the dead compatriots.

After Chiang Kai-shek, chairman of the Military Commission and generalissimo Chiang Kai-shek, who was in Wuhan, received the good news, he Yingqin, chief of the General Staff, and Bai Chongxi, deputy chief of the General Staff, convened all the ministers of the Military Commission to urgently discuss the situation of the enemy and us after the recovery of Tianjin.

Bai Chongxi judged that according to the current movement of the army, the 13th Division of the Central China Front Army, under the protection of the flanks, had invaded and occupied the Chuxian, Lai'an, [***], and Quanjiao regions, and its strategic purpose was inevitably to attempt to go north to cooperate with the North China Front Army to open up the Tianjin-Pudong Line and communicate the two theaters of North China and Central China. Its North China Front army was divided into three routes, attacking and advancing along the Jinpu Road all the way, and the target must be Xuzhou, trying to return to Xuzhou with the Central China Front; Advance all the way along the Pinghan Line, confront our army in the north of the Yellow River, and may go south to the Yellow River at any time; On the other hand, it is possible to launch an offensive operation in southern Jinnan after the second occupation of Taiyuan. Now, Instructor Liu Yimin has recovered Tianjin, which is bound to disrupt the enemy's deployment and greatly mobilize the enemy. It is expected that the enemy will transfer some troops from Taiyuan, Shandong, Central China, and Northeast China to return to North China and recapture Tianjin.

In view of the instructor's record of destroying 40,000 troops in Shanxi, coupled with the fact that he attacked and occupied Tianjin again, and the instructor's two sabotage of the airfields in North China, Bai Chongxi further judged that the army was very likely to be angry and angry, temporarily abandon the offensive in other battlefields, and use the heavy army group to besiege and destroy the instructor with all its might. First, seize the powerful opportunity when the enemy's strategic deployment is suddenly disrupted, and the units in central, Shanxi, and north China must, on the one hand, get a good grasp of reorganizing and training and replenishing troops, storing materials, and building fortifications. On the other hand, it is necessary to actively attack on all fronts, attack, harass, block, contain, and oppress the enemy, support the operation in Tianjin, narrow the enemy's strategic space, and change the strategic situation. Second, the instructor should be immediately instructed to abandon Tianjin and jump out of the enemy's encirclement before the enemy encirclement. Otherwise, there will be great danger to the instructor.

He Yingqin agreed with Bai Chongxi's judgment, but proposed that further intelligence analysis was needed on how large the enemy would mobilize troops to besiege the instructor. On the whole, the instructor's move is a breakthrough in the bones, a move to make the overall situation alive, and alleviate the crisis situation in Central China, Shandong, and Shanxi. However, considering the overall situation of the National War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression, the longer the instructor persists in Tianjin, the more beneficial it will be to the national war situation, and at least he can gain time and realize the strategic idea of exchanging space for time put forward by the chairman of the National Committee. If the instructor can hold out in Tianjin for half a year, then we can at least train another 50 divisions of troops to be put into the battlefield, and there will be some changes in the balance of forces between the two sides.

Zhang Qun was the head of the Political Strategy Department of the Military Commission at this time, and when he heard that He Yingqin meant to sacrifice Liu Yimin's instructor to attract the enemy, his heart trembled. He knew that most of the [***] senior generals probably wanted to teach the instructor that this unit adapted from the Red Seventh Army would die with the enemy in the bloody struggle with the Yue Army, and he definitely thought the same way before he didn't know Liu Yimin. But now his thinking has changed slightly, because the gap between China and China in national strength is too large, and it is not possible to change the balance of power between the two sides in one or two battles, nor can it defeat Yue himself in one or two years. I couldn't help but open my mouth and said: "I don't understand military command, but I know that what Jiansheng said is reasonable, as long as the goal of mobilizing the enemy and alleviating the crisis situation of the war situation is achieved, I should order the instructor to abandon Tianjin immediately, and we must not let the devils surround Tianjin." Tianjin is a coastal city, and if the military planes bomb it on a large scale, don't talk about the instructor, I'm afraid that Tianjin will also be reduced to ashes. Besides, the training of 50 divisions may not necessarily be comparable to the old backbone troops, and if a teacher dares to fight Tianjin, will the new 50 divisions dare to fight Tianjin? There is still a long way to go in the War of Resistance, and in the future, we still need to teach the instructor to fight with the army with such a good fight! Besides, judging from the current situation, I am afraid that the army is eager to eliminate the instructors, and even if we order them to evacuate Tianjin, they may not be able to withdraw safely! ”

Chiang Kai-shek's dark eyes swept over Zhang Qun's face, causing sweat to break out on Zhang Qun's forehead.

He Yingqin looked at Zhang Qun embarrassed with a smile and didn't say a word, and everyone else was silent.

After a while, Chiang Kai-shek said: "Tianjin is an important town in North China, and China is looking forward to it." The recovery of Tianjin can let the international community know that he is not a man-eating tiger, and he also has weaknesses. Although the front is aggressive, the rear is extremely empty. This Tianjin can be taken back, and what else can't be taken back? Therefore, the recovery of Tianjin is a great victory and a great victory that greatly increases the confidence of the Chinese people. Niang Xipi, how can you give up immediately after occupying Tianjin? At the very least, it will be held for ten days and a half months. However, this instructor can't just let the Yue army be trapped and die in Tianjin, in that case, wouldn't it be in the arms of the Yue army? In this way, Liu Yimin liked to flick the east and the west in battle, so that the Yue army was confused, so he simply let him maneuver around Tianjin to contain the main force of the North China Front. Tianjin must hold on, and as for when to retreat from Tianjin, referring to the practice of the defense of Nanjing, the Military Commission does not make a rigid surname, and the battlefield commander decides for himself. In addition, the military aviation force was strong, and the fighter planes at the Tianjin airport were extremely unsafe there, so the power generation asked Liu Yimin to fly the fighter plane to Luoyang, hand it over to the management of the First Theater, and then fly back to the rear. In the name of the Military Commission, 200,000 yuan will be awarded to the instructor as encouragement. ”

Chiang Kai-shek's remark, He Yingqin immediately echoed and said: "The high station of the commission, see far away, this Pingjin area is fertile, densely populated, enough to feed a large army, plus can threaten Pingjin at any time, like a thorn in the throat of the army, can not only receive the miraculous effect of containing the army, but also can make Liu Yimin not confined to Tianjin to fight, to avoid being surrounded by the army, is really a perfect strategy." ”

Bai Chongxi smashed his mouth, but still didn't say anything, seeing that the staff officer on duty in the attendant room drafted an order according to Chiang Kai-shek's intentions, submitted it to Chiang Kai-shek for signature, and sent it to the newspaper.

The atmosphere that followed was a bit dull, and Chiang Kai-shek saw that everyone was silent, so he asked the ministers to dismiss the meeting, leaving He Yingqin, Bai Chongxi, and others to study how to block the delayed enemy and prevent the enemy's operational deployment of reinforcements to Tianjin based on the results of studying and judging the situation of the enemy and us.

After Liu Yimin held a symposium of business representatives, he held a cocktail party at the Qishilin Western Restaurant in the evening to meet with the consul generals and representatives of the concessions of various countries in Tianjin.

Liu Yimin originally didn't want to see these foreigners, because there was no difference between these guys and the devils in terms of invading China, and it was really difficult for him to toast and feast with the invaders. However, from the future, he knows that the prelude to World War II is about to begin, and great changes are imminent.

The concession of Tianjin began with the establishment of the British concession, and the first nine concessions were British, French, German, American, Russian, Chinese, Italian, Belgian and Austro-Hungarian Empire, which was the place with the largest number of concessions in China and even in the world. Among them, the German Concession and the Austro-Hungarian Concession, because Duan Qirui withstood the pressure of all parties and resolutely declared war on Germany and Austria when Duan Qirui was in charge of the Beiyang Political Axe, so after the First World War, the Beiyang Political Axe was returned to China as a victorious country. After the October Revolution, the Russian Concession was returned to China after negotiations between China and Russia in accordance with Lenin's opinion of giving up all privileges in China. The U.S. Concession was established in 1862, when the U.S. Civil War was in the middle of the U.S. Civil War, and the United States had no time to develop it, so it was abandoned in 1880, but unfortunately the Qing government did not accept it, until 1902, the United States privately handed over the concession to Britain and incorporated it into the British Concession. The Belgian concession was basically undeveloped, and was recovered in 1931 through negotiations between the Republic of China and Belgium.

At this time, Tianjin had the concessions of Britain, France, Italy, and the four countries, and the banks of the coastal river were built into a country within a country. Needless to say, in the concession, the instructor eliminated their guard forces, and even Yue Qiao was arrested. After receiving the notice, the representatives of the other three concessions all came to Qishilin on time, and even representatives of the four major foreign banks in Tianjin, such as Jardine Matheson, Taikoo, Yan Kee, and Xin Taixing, as well as some banks, came.

Journalists from a number of countries stationed in North China and reporters from newspapers in the Concession Office also attended the reception.

The English translator for Liu Yimin is Yang Dalin, the head of the cadre section of the Political Department. Tonight, Yang Dalin deliberately changed into a suit according to Liu Yimin's order, and the young man suddenly looked very energetic.

Before the reception began, Liu Yimin delivered a speech as usual, and he said something very short and to the effect that he had three points: First, on behalf of Tianjin's anti-Ming Dynasty, he announced the resumption of the concession, the confiscation of all fake assets, and the examination of the crimes committed by overseas Chinese in China in accordance with Chinese law. Second, the current world situation is turbulent and unstable, and Ben's aggression against China has accelerated the unpredictable changes in the world pattern, and it is hoped that the personnel of the embassies and consulates of various countries in Tianjin will truthfully report to their own political axes the inhumane aggression of the Yue army and express solidarity and support for the Chinese people's war of resistance. At the same time, it is hoped that the political axes of all countries will be vigilant against the aggressors and join hands to stop the expansion of aggression by the Japanese army. Third, it is hoped that the management of the concession will do its utmost to protect the safety of the lives and property of the Chinese in the concession.

After Yang Dalin's translation, the people who attended the reception were dumbfounded, one was unthinkable that the new mayor of Tianjin, who was fighting against the Ming Dynasty, would murderously announce the resumption of the concession as soon as he came up; The other is that I can't imagine that this Chinese general would actually say that he would expand his aggression, so would he dare to invade Britain and France? So, the reporters first got busy, kept taking pictures, and then asked for further interviews.

After Liu Yimin announced the resumption of the concession, he achieved the main purpose of holding a cocktail party, and after a tired day, he didn't want to be interviewed anymore, so he entrusted Cai Zhong to deal with those reporters, and he quickly filled his stomach, so he walked to the British Consul General Pan Lena with a red wine glass.

Pan Lena has been in China for more than ten years, is a standard China expert, but also a veteran of the Ming Dynasty, with his support, the British Concession has been expanding openly and covertly. Liu Yimin had only one thing to look for him, that is, to recover the assets stored in the British Concession when the Bank of China and the Bank of Communications evacuated Tianjin. Because he knew that the British Concession finally handed over the funds to Yue himself.

After the two exchanged greetings, Pan Lena asked with a smile, "Dear Liu, you look too energetic." Is there anything I can do for you? ”

Liu Yimin knew that this was an old fox, but he didn't have time to grind with him, so he said straight to the point: "Mr. Consul General, I am entrusted by the Bank of China and the Bank of Communications to retrieve the funds we have deposited in the British Concession, please arrange it, and I will send someone to withdraw it at 9 o'clock tomorrow morning." ”

Pan Lener immediately shook his head again and again, opened his mouth to say no, no, no, and then said that as far as he knew, the British Concession had not received funds from the Bank of China and the Bank of Communications.

Liu Yimin had long expected him to say this, and immediately said the time, place, person, amount and place of deposit of the funds.

Seeing that he could not do it, Pan Lena proposed that the funds were mainly gold bars and silver dollars, and that there were secret agreements with the Bank of China and the Bank of Communications at that time, and that the representatives of the two banks had to come and withdraw it in person, and no one else could. This is the rule of the industry, and no one can break it.

Liu Yimin patiently told Pan Lena that Tianjin Kang Yue Ming Cook Political Axe was entrusted by two banks to withdraw the funds. At that time, the two banks were only temporarily stored in the British Concession because they were attacked by the Japanese army and had no time to transport them away. Now that our army has recovered Tianjin, it is natural to take away this fund. What's more, there is no impermeable wall in the world, and the army will know sooner or later. At that time, the army will definitely track down the funds, and it is already very unsafe to put them in the British Concession.

No matter what Liu Yimin says, Pan Lena just won't let go.

Liu Yimin thought about it, this guy also caused a storm a few years ago, and rented out a piece of land for 999 years, which shows that he is an insatiable veteran invader, and if he doesn't give him a little power, he won't give in.

After taking a sip of red wine, Liu Yimin said slowly: "Mr. Pan Lena, do you know how those people in the Consulate General in Tianjin are doing now?" ”

Pan Lena was taken aback, and immediately said: "Dear Liu, you don't want to threaten the diplomats of the British Kingdom, do you?" As far as I know, even your Chairman Chiang would not dare to threaten our envoys in China. Please respect yourself! ”

Liu Yimin slowly turned his wine glass a few times, didn't look at Pan Lena, and said to himself: "When I joined the Red Army, I went to bomb an artillery battalion position by myself. I led a company that dared to attack Bai Chongxi's elite troops of more than 2,000 people in Guangxi, and a regiment that dared to fight several battles to destroy the three most elite divisions of He Jian in Hunan. Chengdu was defeated by me, Xi'an was defeated by me, Taiyuan was defeated by me, and Tianjin was also recovered by me. Lieutenant General Seishiro Itagaki, who was a well-known brazen in the army and directly planned the establishment of Manchukuo, was forced by me to commit suicide by disembowelment. I never threaten anyone, but no one in this world can ignore what I say. Sometimes, I don't want to do that, but in this era of war, everything is based on strength, and trying to quietly kill a few people is easier than stepping on a few ants, and it doesn't leave any traces. There are more than 40,000 of the most elite devils who have died in my hands, and the [***] troops I have eliminated are almost 200,000. Sometimes, I wonder if I'm going too far, but why are there so many unsightly villains coming at my gun? When I entered Tianjin, I also thought that the consul general in Tianjin was a diplomat, and my country's political axe had not declared war and severed diplomatic relations with him, so his safety should be protected. Who knew that when I arrived at the Imperial Consulate, their consul general's head had been blurred by bullets, and I couldn't tell who it was. I have no choice but to trouble my country's political axe to accept the protest of this political axe again. ”

was about to continue, but when he heard a clang, Liu Yimin knew that it must be the goblet in Pan Lena's hand that fell to the ground and shattered.

Liu Yimin didn't say any more, raised his head, and said to Pan Lena with a smile: "Mr. Consul General, please take your time to taste the wine and food, I still have something to do, and I am out of company." With that, he walked towards the representatives of the four oceanic firms.

Pan Lena woke up like a dream, and regardless of the broken wine glass, let alone whether it was a loss of gentlemanly demeanor, her voice became straight: "Dear Liu, no, God, respected General Liu, please wait, I still have something to say to you." As he spoke, he caught up in a panic.
