Seven days later, Sun Wen set up a banquet of 100 tables in Nanjing, and invited thousands of celebrities from all walks of life to attend the inauguration ceremony of the new central political axe officials.

Among them, all kinds of delicacies from the mountains and seas appeared on the banquet table, and although the celebrities were reluctant to come, they finally came here under the persuasion of some people to make a show. In fact, these celebrities from all walks of life still feel that Sun Wen, an airborne figure, is a little unreliable, and they didn't dare to take a breath when they were recklessly by the emperor before, and now they suddenly pop up to be the chairman of the central political axe, which inevitably gives them a sense of conspiracy.

In fact, they thought that it was the emperor who was more reliable, and that the emperor could bring them the most benefit.

The inauguration ceremony was carried out in such a beautiful manner, and dozens of high-ranking political officials who were about to take office sat on the stage with spring breeze on their faces, each looking at the celebrities below triumphantly, and secretly yy in their hearts, what about the celebrities? In the face of power, you don't want to be a victim? There are not a few members of the Alliance who are still silent in this pie-in-the-sky fantasy, and most of them seem to have regained their trust in Sun Wen.

Throughout the inauguration ceremony, the incoming officials gave speeches one after another like a show, but the celebrities from all walks of life below listened as if watching jugglers, and welcomed the failure of the symbolic surname. In the end, it took less than 20 minutes for the more than 1,000 celebrities who participated in the banquet to leave, leaving Sun Wen and others with only depression and entanglement.

"Keqiang, now that you are the Minister of Defense, you will go and give the first order later, let the 42nd Army send a brigade of troops, pass through Huzhou and Jiaxing, and finally arrive in Shanghai." Sun Wen thought about it for a while, and deliberately let the 42nd Army go around in a big circle, wanting to test whether the army could obey the orders of the Ministry of National Defense.

It's just that Sun Wen also knows that it is impossible for the army to completely obey Sun Wen, and now they only need to be able not to disobey their orders, otherwise he will have nothing to do in the future, even if he encounters any special circumstances, he will not have the power to deal with it.

"Okay, I'll go and give the order." Huang Xing nodded, he had long wanted to order the transfer of the army, but because of the restrictions of his tenure, he forcibly endured it.

In the 401st Brigade of the 40th Division of the 42nd Army, the grassroots officers were mercilessly abusing below, exaggerating the soldiers one by one, and they all had an urge to rebel.

He Jinguang, the commander of the 401 Brigade, was also very depressed, he didn't expect that the higher authorities had just ordered them to fully cooperate with the instructions of the Ministry of Defense, but he didn't expect the Ministry of Defense to be so impatient so quickly, and even with a feeling of abusing them. If you want to go from Nanjing to Wuhan, how easy is it to go straight to the past by land? Now that he is going to go around in a big circle, not only the officers at all levels below are very dissatisfied, but even he, the brigadier general and brigade commander, is also a little dissatisfied.

Originally, in order to respond to the emperor's call, he accompanied Sun Wen to this experience, but he didn't expect him to play like this, is there a war now, there is no emergency, and it is not a drill, it needs to carry out a wide range of roundabout tactics, just such a plain and unprovoked order, a brigade of thousands of soldiers will have to work hard to go around a big circle?

"Brigade commander, it's better for us to do the opposite, kill Sun Wen, and ask the emperor to come back and preside over the situation." Deputy Brigade Commander Liu Taoran hammered his hand to the table and said fiercely.

He Jinguang didn't reply, but fell into thought, it was not difficult to rebel and kill Sun Wen, now he was just thinking about what the teacher had said to him, he was thinking carefully, what kind of meaning did these words have, or what was he signaling to himself?

After a long time, He Jinguang still couldn't notice anything special, so he could only shake his head again and again.

"Brigadier, what else are you thinking about? The country that we fought so hard to fight was given to others in a blink of an eye, and I couldn't swallow this breath anyway. Liu Taoran looked at He Jinguang with some anger.

"What's wrong? What's the grievance? Wang Pingjiu, the commander of the 40th Division, lifted the curtain of the tent at the brigade headquarters, strode over, and asked with some doubts in his mouth.

Seeing that the division commander was coming in person, He Jinguang shook his head a little undecidedly, and reported: "Report to the division commander, the brothers below have some tempers and refuse to act according to the instructions of the Ministry of Defense. ”

The soldiers below have tempers and opinions, which Wang Pingjiu had long expected, and the reason why he came here in person this time was actually to persuade the brothers of the 401st Brigade. Helplessly, what Wang Lin said to those army commanders, they naturally couldn't pass it on to the division commanders below as it was, and the division commanders were the same, for the sake of secrecy, the further down, the less the troops knew. And this time Sun Wen mobilized the troops, which also happened to give Wang Lin a chance, and Wang Lin was also worried about the cost of the banquet for the inauguration ceremony.

I was worried that I didn't know where Sun Wen got the funds, which could make him so desperate to attract celebrities and gentlemen from all walks of life at the inauguration ceremony. Wang Pingjiu had just received an order from the army commander, so he hurriedly came to the 401st Brigade to persuade them to make all preparations for mobilization.

"Didn't the emperor say it? The order of the Ministry of Defense is the emperor's order, and if anyone dares to disobey, the emperor will personally settle accounts with him. Wang Pingjiu said lightly, without waiting for He Jinguang and the others to speak, he continued to speak: "But don't worry, the military department has already told the Ministry of Defense, saying that we have no military spending, no food, and there is no way to mobilize the troops. ”

"Yes, Commander!" Hearing that this was an order from Wang Lin himself, He Jinguang and Liu Taoran couldn't say anything more, so they could only answer stubbornly.

"Okay, I won't say anything else to you, remember to obey the orders of the Ministry of Defense, even if you are asked to hand over your weapons, you must not resist, otherwise the military law will serve, and I will inform you when it is time to be pulled, take advantage of this time for the two of you to hurry up and enlighten the brothers below, don't let them drop the chain at a critical moment, otherwise the military commander and I will really have no way to explain to the emperor." Wang Pingjiu nodded, and before leaving, he had to instruct again.

"Yes, Commander! Mission completion guaranteed! He Jinguang and Liu Taoran saluted.

After Wang Pingjiu left, He Jinguang and Liu Taoran went to each regiment below, first explained the important surnames of those regiment commanders to this matter, and then went to the battalion commander, company commander, and platoon commander and squad leader below to find the battalion commander below, the company commander, and the platoon commander and squad leader together After the rest of the soldiers are taken care of by their officers all the time, their direct person in charge, the squad leader of each squad is also responsible for supervising the situation of the soldiers in each squad.

In short, this transfer has become the top priority in Wang Lin's heart and the hearts of the soldiers of the 401st Brigade, and no one is allowed to make the slightest mistake.

Nanjing, the temporary office building of the Central Political Axe, in the chairman's office.

Huang Xing walked forward step by step with sweat on his head, holding the telegram that had just come from the 42nd Army in his hand, every time he glanced at it, he felt angry in his heart, and he wanted to swallow Lu Qiuming alive.

Huang Xin pushed open the door of Sun Wen's office regardless of etiquette, and the secretary outside the door saw the anger on his face of Huang Xing, the elder of the Alliance, so he naturally didn't dare to step forward to stop him, so he could only let him enter.

"Keqiang, why is it so hot?" Sun Wenzheng was discussing some things with Song Jiaoren, and when he saw Huang Xing entering the office so angrily, his brows furrowed slightly, and he hurriedly asked.

"Lu Qiuming's rabbit cub, neither refused to accept the order, nor did he carry out the order, and now he is singing to me in turn, I asked him to drop a brigade to Shanghai, he is good, first said that the military budget is insufficient, there is no food, and asked me for military expenses." Huang Xing scolded angrily.

After listening to Huang Xing's angry scolding, Sun Wen and Song Jiaoren glanced at each other, and then the two let out a chuckle. Huang Xing saw Sun Wen and Song Jiaoren's attitude, and the anger in his heart soared suddenly, and he hurriedly asked angrily, "What are you two laughing at?" You're just watching me being bullied like this by Lu Qiuming's rabbit cub? ”

"Brother Keqiang, it is normal for the army to ask the Ministry of Defense for military spending, you should be prepared for this, otherwise where do you think the military spending of the army comes from? Let them find it themselves? Or let them be self-sufficient from the war? So that you, the Minister of Defense, don't care about anything, just enjoy the infinite scenery from the top? Song Jiaoren smiled bitterly, he felt that Huang Xing still thought about this matter a little too idealistic.

"I know this, he Wang Lin can empty the Ministry of Finance, can he also empty the military expenses of the troops? He knows that we are currently financially constrained, and if we cannot pay the huge military expenses of the Wehrmacht, what will those troops do? Robbing around? Or do you want to disperse in a hurry? Wang Lin must have left a large amount of military funds in the army, but Lu Qiuming's rabbit cub is hiding and refuses to take it out, if we can get all the troops to take out a part of the military expenses, our current financial crisis can be solved. Huang Xing said bitterly, how could he not understand what Song Jiaoren meant? It's just that since Wang Lin left, the Ministry of Defense has not paid the Wehrmacht a single dollar of military expenses, but the Wehrmacht soldiers are still paid according to their salaries, and they eat meat three times a week.

"No matter what the army says, it is Wang Lin's family, they are naturally dedicated to Wang Lin, if they want to take out some funds from the army's military expenses to solve our financial crisis, I think Brother Keqiang should die as soon as possible, now it is difficult for us to even arrange individuals to enter the army, don't think that they will stupidly listen to us and hand over the military expenses to us to manage." Sun Wen said with a wry smile, and then a glimmer of light appeared in his eyes.

"So what do you think we should do? Now the Wehrmacht is refusing to move its nest on the grounds that it has no military funds, and we are simply untenable in the general sense of righteousness, and we will not even give the troops food, so how can the troops march? Huang Xing was a little anxious, and spread his hands, looking helpless.

Sun Wen and Song Jiaoren glanced at each other again, the two nodded knowingly, Sun Wen said: "Nanjing is not far from Shanghai, 50,000 military expenses are enough for them to reach Shanghai with a brigade, and the first brother will give 50,000 new Chinese yuan to the 42nd Army, you just need to be your Minister of National Defense, and the matter of military expenses will be solved by me and Dunchu!" ”
