Chapter 247: Serial Scheme
Li Tie had just transferred the money to the account of the Nationalist Government, and Commander Jiang, who was far away in Luoyang, was overjoyed, and he shouted happily while looking at Dai Li and said:
"Niang Xipi, is this Li Tie really rich? 30 million yuan he said he would give it, Yu Nong, do you think I want less? You said that if I had asked him for 50 million, would he have given it? If you want 100 million, I've heard that he has tens of billions of assets.
It turns out that he is the richest man in the world. You say that if I tie him to our chariot, will I need to look at the faces of the Jiangsu and Zhejiang chaebols again in the future? ”
Dai Li said with a weak heart: "Principal, outsiders think that Li Tie donated for free, but in fact, you spent the cost, after all, you gave him the rank of major general and gave him such a big piece of land." In fact, he took advantage. ”
And he also said that he just wants the development rights of the land and surrounding waters of Hainan Island, and the entire Hainan Island is still state, and he can only lease it at most, although the lease period is a little longer, and it will be rented for a hundred years.
But I don't care what happens to him later, the most important thing is to get through the current difficulties, with his 30 million, and then with the 10 million sent by Minister Song, I heard that all walks of life in Shanghai are still donating money for us.
Li Tie's headband is good, and the rank of major general is not wronged to give him for nothing. It's just that this Li Tie is too petty, he has to sign a contract with me, and he has to ask for a power of attorney signed by me before agreeing to pay me, do I seem to be a person who has no word for it? ”
Commander Chiang was still depressed about his signature. But if each of his signatures can sell tens of millions, then he can do it as the president of the people.
"Principal, I think that Li Tie is a businessman after all, and businessmen value contracts the most, so there is nothing wrong with him asking for your autograph, but since we have collected all the money, I wonder when our southern bandit suppression troops will be able to set off? Are we going to rush them again? Dai Li reminded Commander Jiang not to patronize and be happy, Shanghai was still waiting for reinforcements.
"Yu Nong, it's not that I don't urge, the troops in the south also have difficulties, they are fighting with the communist bandits, if they retreat in a hurry, they are afraid of being pursued by the red bandits.
These damned red bandits, not only did they not take the initiative to cease fire at this time of national crisis, but also took the opportunity to attack our rear, otherwise we would not have reached the point where we have no troops to adjust. Otherwise, Shanghai would have let us recover it long ago. When I get through the difficulties, I must step up the extermination of the red bandits, and it is a national policy to first secure the inside before attacking the outside world. Commander Jiang said thoughtfully.
"Headmaster, it's really not good, just send fewer troops to each unit, right? Even if there is only one regiment or one battalion in each army, as long as the troops are mobilized, public opinion throughout the country will be on our side, and at the same time, it will put more pressure on the Japanese side. So as not to chill the hearts of donors from all walks of life in Shanghai? Dai Li explained.
"Well, Yunong, your suggestion is good, I immediately order, as soon as the fighting of the bandits stops, they will set off immediately, and each of them will send a part of the army to move to Shanghai.
We must also actively seek the help of various countries, hoping that they will come forward to suppress Japan, so that even if our reinforcements do not reach the Shanghai area, we can force the Japanese to negotiate the best way.
At that time, I had no hope of these troops retaking Shanghai, and I just wanted to choke the various passages of Shanghai to the outside world, and I could not let the Japanese continue to expand the results of the war. "Commander Chiang inadvertently said what he really thought.
"Headmaster, you must not reveal this to anyone, in case the Japanese know our bottom line, we will be very passive in the future, whether it is fighting or talking." Dai Lian said immediately.
"Don't worry, Yunong, I am the one who leads the troops after all, and there is still a sense of secrecy at this point, okay, you go down, and then urge the troops who have surrendered the bandits from all over the country, so that they can quickly pull out and prepare to defend the Japanese army to the south or north." Commander Jiang said that he looked at the telegram drafted by Dai Li, thought that there was no mistake, and signed his name.
Dai Li walked out of Commander Jiang's office and wiped the cold sweat on his head: "Brother Li Tie, I got the autograph for you, you must not make any big mistakes."
Now I have one last thing to do, and when it's done, I'll be done with the task you've given me. I hope what you say is true, but if the headmaster finds out that I have changed his orders, he will have to skin me alive. ”
Dai Li took the telegram signed by Commander Chiang to the telegraph room to send a telegram to the various anti-bandit units, originally Commander Chiang had summoned all the troops to assemble in the Shanghai area and prepare for defense.
As a result, Dai Li, according to Li Tie's intentions, changed the defense to counterattack, and the people in the telegraph room did not check the telegram in Dai Li's hand in detail, and everyone took it for granted that now that the Japanese had occupied Shanghai, the telegram issued by Commander Chiang must be a counterattack and not a defense.
Therefore, these telegrams were quickly transmitted to various units in the south, and the same reason these telegrams were quickly sent to Shirakawa Yoshinori through various channels.
In fact, in order to make this spy operation more real and perfect, Li Tie used the radio station he sent to Li Kenong for the first time.
Li Tie reported the importance of the battle of Shanghai directly to Zhou Chuanren, hoping that he could use their position in the first place to suspend the exchange of fire with the first one, so that the first could retreat calmly, so as not to fall into the pretext of taking advantage of the fire to rob in the future.
Although Zhou Weiren and others are not the figures in charge of power within the country, they are also dissatisfied with the behavior of attacking the national control area on a large scale at the time of national crisis.
Therefore, under the operation of Zhou Weiren and other people of insight inside, the ** army, which was clinging to the national army on the front line, suddenly relaxed the pace of the offensive.
And the soldiers who had just received a telegram from Commander Chiang asking these ** to return to Shanghai to help them immediately get out and move in the direction of Shanghai.
In this way, Dai Li changed the order, and Li Kenong helped relax the attack on **, so that hundreds of thousands of **, who were busy suppressing bandits, immediately drew out a part of their troops to return to Shanghai.
Everything is being implemented step by step according to Li Tie's design.
Just one day later, Shirakawa Yoshinori convened a meeting of all the generals of the rank of major general and above in the new Shanghai Dispatch Army Headquarters.
At the meeting, there was a heated discussion on whether or not to continue to expand the war.
"Why not attack? Now the defenders of Shanghai are only 50,000, we have 100,000, and we also have countless planes, artillery. Such a powerful force was an opportunity to eat the Nineteenth Route Army and the Fifth Army in one fell swoop. A general said.
"Yes, the squadron in the suburbs of Shanghai is actively digging trenches and repairing fortifications, if we don't take the initiative to attack, when they dig trenches and repair fortifications, we just want to attack, and it will greatly increase our casualties, which is unwise." Another general suggested an immediate attack.
Commander Shirakawa Yoshinori looked at the generals seated, and then looked at the first three commanders-in-chief of the Japanese army, since General Shirakawa Yoshinori completely occupied Shanghai in two days, the Shanghai dispatch army admired Shirakawa Yoshinori's ability, and only said that he was Japan's first god of war.
Therefore, at today's meeting, the generals of various armies spoke in Yongyue, but the former three Japanese commanders Shiozawa Yuki and Ueda Kenkichi were silent.
In their hearts, they thought that they should not be ashamed if they had Shirakawa Yoshinori, and they could not capture Shanghai for a long time, and they took it in two days, to be exact, they defeated the Chinese defenders in only one day, and the casualties were very small.
The frontal feint troops did not launch a decent charge at all, and the troops that penetrated into the rear did not encounter any decent resistance, and in the end, Jiang Guangnai, who was well versed in the art of war, immediately ordered the whole army to retreat when he saw that he could not do anything. Otherwise, they would not be able to hold Shanghai either, if they were all wiped out.
Therefore, at today's meeting, the three former commanders-in-chief of the Japanese army all reported the same thought, that is, they only listened and did not speak, and Shirakawa Yoshishi said what to do, so do it.
Shirakawa Yoshinori saw that the first three commanders-in-chief were silent, and then looked at the generals present one by one as if they were beaten with chicken blood, and he knew that the capture of Shanghai in two days made these generals proud. This is very dangerous, and it seems that his decision is right, after all, before he came, the emperor ordered him to end the war in Shanghai as soon as possible, because Japan could not afford to delay it.
Shirakawa Yoshinori knocked on the table to silence everyone, and then he signaled to the guards at the door, and soon two Japanese officers, a man and a woman, came in from outside the door.
The two officers walked up to Shirakawa Yoshinori and saluted. Shirakawa Yoshinori introduced to the generals present that these two men were Saburo Ohuma Nakasa, chief officer of the Analysis Department of the Military Intelligence Department dispatched by Shanghai, and the woman was Nanzo Yunzi Nakasa, chief officer of the Shanghai Moon Agency.
The first to speak was Nanzao Yunzi, Nanzao Yunzi saluted the generals present with a standard military salute, and the generals in front of him lit up, and several young generals had already begun to think about how to talk to Nanzao Yunzi after the meeting.
Nanzao Yunzi gave a report to the people present on the situation of the 19th Route Army and the Fifth Army that she accompanied Li Tie to inspect them, including how perfectly the trenches of the squadron were dug now, and how high the morale of the Chinese defenders was. How much people from all walks of life in Shanghai support the work of the squadron.
At the same time, Nanzao Yunzi also pointed out that Li Tie promised to give the 19th Route Army 100 anti-aircraft machine guns and 200 heavy artillery.
Hearing this, the generals present were in an uproar, and they all said that it was impossible, if Li Tie had so many anti-aircraft machine guns and so many heavy artillery, why didn't he take them out earlier?
Now the squadron is about to be driven out of Shanghai. I just thought about taking it out, isn't this Li Tie bragging? It was to release air artillery, and the purpose was to intimidate the Japanese army.
Everyone advised General Shirakawa Yoshinori not to fall for the scheme, and some generals remembered that Nanzao Yunzi seemed to be fighting with Li Tie, she shouldn't have been reversed by Li Tiece to deal with her own people, right?
I have to say that there are also capable people in the Japanese army, and I casually guessed that Nanzao Yunzi was rebelled by Li Tiece.
Shirakawa Yoshinori knocked on the table again: "The news that Nanzo Yunzi said is reliable. ”
Then, at the behest of Shirakawa Yoshinori, Nanzo Yunzi distributed a few pages of the latest information to the dozen or so generals present.
Seeing this information, the generals present widened their eyes one by one, opened their mouths wide and exclaimed:
"What, Li Tie is a member of the base-land-organization?"
