Chapter 4: Entanglement

"Darling, Boyuan's heart is too big, I'm afraid we can't control it, all I've heard in Washington these days is rumors about him, do you really plan to let the troops in Shanxi obey his command? Have you thought about the generals in the army? Will they be willing to listen to Boyuan's command? Chiang Kai-shek understood what Soong Meiling meant, he had run the Kuomintang for so many years, and he had easily sat in the position of China's supreme leader, and of course he was not willing to lose it like this.

Chiang Kai-shek rubbed his forehead a little irritably, to be honest, he didn't want to use Zhao Zhi's Jewish legion, just three air battles, Chiang Kai-shek saw Zhao Zhi's strength, a private mercenary company has 100,000 soldiers and dozens of fighters, as well as hundreds of anti-aircraft guns deployed around Chongqing, such combat power is not comparable to the elite German armor division of the national army when it was in its heyday. What's more, Zhao Zhi not only has the support of the Lockman family behind him, but the most important thing is that Zhao Zhi has the full support and trust of Hitler, which is what Chiang Kai-shek lacks the most at present.

"No, the best units are scattered in several theaters, the strength is too scattered, Boyuan has 100,000 Jewish soldiers in his hands, their weapons and equipment can completely contain several times the Japanese army, as long as his troops enter Shanxi and start a war with the Japanese army, the pressure in other theaters is much less" Chiang Kai-shek weighed left and right, and finally came to the conclusion that Zhao Zhi's Jewish army should be used to go out of Shanxi, only in this way can Chiang Kai-shek draw out the elite troops in the second theater to support the national army in other theaters.

"You be careful to raise tigers for trouble" For Zhao Zhi, Song Meiling has her own opinion, 2 years ago she was just an unknown junior in Shanghai who had nothing to do, but now she has become a behemoth with heavy troops, Zhao Zhi's changes have to make Song Meiling ponder carefully, whether such a person can be willing to be used by Chiang Kai-shek, if not, what should I do?

"Wei Guo and Bo Yuan have a good relationship, they also have contacts when they are in Germany, when the war in Shanxi is over, I will let Wei Guo go to Zhao Zhi's army to explore Bo Yuan's tone" Chiang Kai-shek patted Song Meiling's hand comfortingly, "Bo Yuan is a person who does big things, but he is also a Chinese, I think Bo Yuan will not do things that are quick to hurt the enemies of relatives, we must be patient" While persuading Song Meiling, Chiang Kai-shek was also considering whether he needed to let Dai Li arrange for the military commanders to lurk around Zhao Zhi early, In case Zhao Zhi does something detrimental to the national character, he will have a backhand to suppress Zhao Zhi.

"Sir, will the military commanders help us?" When Chiang Kai-shek and Song Meiling talked about Zhao Zhi privately in the South Bank Villa, Yu Dazhi, who was sitting in the car, couldn't help but say the doubts in his heart, although he had cooperated with the military commander's action team several times, but Yu Dazhi didn't attach much importance to the military camp, Yu Dazhi thought that the military commander was a bunch of guys who were good at playing tricks, Zhao Zhi told Dai Li the details of the punishment action and even asked the military commander to help, which was tantamount to seeking skin with the tiger, in case Thunder and the military commander turned their faces in the future, Those who remain in Japan will most likely become bargaining chips for the military commanders to blackmail the thunder.

"Don't worry, they will definitely help, because they are also Chinese" Although Zhao Zhi cooperated with the Nationalist Government with his own plans, this did not mean that he could watch the Japanese run rampant in China, and Zhao Zhi never doubted the resistance of Chiang Kai-shek and Dai Li, nor did he doubt that he was consistent with the Nationalist Government in the matter of resisting Japan. They are also Chinese, Zhao Zhi silently read these words and looked out the car window, at this moment, Zhao Zhi remembered those lurkers who received cruel training and sneaked into Japan, they are also Chinese, maybe no one will remember the names of those lurkers at all, but they know that it is a mortal mission, or rush to join the punishment action, compared to them, Zhao Zhi seems a little cold-blooded.

These people who were summoned by the Nationalist Government from the Kuomintang were only civilians, and in all fairness, they were not soldiers, so naturally they did not have the responsibility to defend the land and die, but they still came, and after receiving the summoning order, they dragged their children and daughters into the Xi'an training camp to receive special training from Zhao Zhi's mercenaries and those Japanese prisoners. After several rounds of selection and elimination, there were less than 2,000 refugees left behind, and the hatred of the Japanese for these 2,000 people has been deeply penetrated into the bones, which is why Zhao Zhihui specially summoned the refugees from the Northeast to act as lurkers.

The next morning, Zhao Zhi accompanied Luo Lin, who had been stuffed in the residence, to wander around, by the way to enjoy the customs of the capital and taste the snacks of Chongqing, Ye Kong and Zhang Jinquan kept sending sentry posts on the hillsides around the new residence, expanding the scope of the realm, and set up a few two anti-aircraft machine guns they carried. Hans and several Jewish officers hid in the room, analyzing and discussing the various situations that the troops might encounter after entering Shanxi, formulating corresponding policies, and at the same time using radio remote control to direct the First Army Corps that had left Shanxi and the Second Army Corps that had gone to Xi'an.

The topography of Chongqing is a peninsula, at the confluence of the Yangtze River and the Jialing River, from October every year, to March and April of the next year, almost every day foggy, visibility is extremely low, even in clear weather, the visibility in the morning is less than 50 meters, in the afternoon when the sun is the strongest, it can only show a vague shadow, so it is also called the fog capital. When Zhao Zhi and others arrived in Chongqing, it was early March, the fog was still quite strong, although the Japanese bombers continued to sortie, but the results were very limited, and finally they had to suspend the bombing and wait for the summer to continue, so the citizens of Chongqing lived a life without the harassment of airplanes.

After lunch, Zhao Zhi, Hans and the others walked along the path between the fruit trees outside their residence, and they walked and chatted, and slowly walked to the other side of the hillside. At this time, a small three-story building appeared a few hundred meters in front of him, and people kept coming in and out of the door, which seemed very lively, Zhao Zhi asked curiously: "Luo Ying, what is the place there?" ”

Luo Ying replied: "There is the office of the Eighth Route Army in Chongqing, and it is also the location of the Southern Bureau of the Communist Party of China. ”

Yu Dazhi looked at the building opposite with interest and said, "Sir, shouldn't we go back?" Our situation is the same as ***, it is very delicate, even if we accidentally come together, it will cause others to speculate. I think that this time the national government rearranged our residence and *** is so close, I'm afraid I just want to see if we have a private connection with ***! ”

Yu Dazhi's analysis was agreed by Hans, and Zhao Zhi also nodded again and again, then glanced ahead, turned around and prepared to walk back. The national government has so deliberately arranged itself on the same mountain as the *** office, the meaning of which is self-evident, and Zhao Zhi does not have a deep friendship with ***, so it is not bad to turn around and go back.

"Is it Mr. Zhao Zhi in front? Please stay! Two young men suddenly walked out of a path next to them, startling Yu Dazhi, who was following Sun Baili, and in less than a second, he drew his gun in his hand and stared at the two people who were gradually approaching.

Seeing that the person who came didn't seem to have malicious intent, Zhao Zhi waved his hand to Yu Dazhi to signal him to put away the gun, and then promised loudly: "I'm Zhao Zhi, who are you?" Luo Ying, who was standing beside him, whispered: "They are people from the Eighth Route Army Office, I have seen the one on the left, when we first entered Shanxi, that person has been following Xie Xiuyun, as if he is some kind of officer."

Listening to Luo Ying's whisper, Zhao Zhi looked at the two people who came over, in fact, he was mainly looking at the person on the left, the first thing that caught his eye was two thick black eyebrows, his shaved cheeks were full of fine wrinkles, a black woolen tunic, with a few patches on the cuffs, a pair of white-washed black trousers on his legs, and a pair of black patent leather shoes on his feet. This person looks stable at first glance, but the smile on this person's face makes Zhao Zhi very uncomfortable, and there is a bit of deliberate meaning in it, as if this person rejects Zhao Zhi extremely from the bottom of his bones.

Seeing that Zhao Zhiliang understood his identity, the two of them immediately walked a few steps, came to Zhao Zhi, and said with a smile, "Mr. Zhao is a noble person, I am Zhang Yongjie, I went to your residence with Xiuyun last time, we should be considered old acquaintances" The man on the left took the initiative to stretch out his right hand, grabbed Zhao Zhi's hand, and turned his head to his companion while holding it hard, "Old Ma, this is what I often tell you about Mr. Zhao Zhizhao, he is an old friend of our Eighth Route Army, when Xiuyun was in Shanghai, Thanks to Mr. Zhao's careful care, otherwise she would have been arrested by the Japanese gendarmerie."

Zhang Yongjie's self-acquaintance made Zhao Zhi a little uncomfortable, but he had a bad seizure, so he had to quietly withdraw his hand and said with a smile, "It's a small matter, why worry about it, I just don't want to see my compatriots captured by the Japanese, as long as it is Chinese, it will do this"

Zhang Yongjie nodded and said, "Anyway, Xiuyun was also rescued by Mr. Zhao, we all want to thank you, it's better to choose a day than to hit the day, even if our office is in front, otherwise, Mr. Zhao will go to us for a cup of tea, Xiuyun has just returned from Yan'an, and now she is in the office, just let her thank you in person."

"Sir, we should go back, the lady who came out just now said that she wants you to accompany you to meet Mrs. Jiang in the afternoon" Just when Zhao Zhi was about to have a seizure, Yu Dazhi came over and blocked Zhang Yongjie, who was pestering himself. Zhao Zhi is most annoyed by others to pester himself for no reason, and besides, he really has no impression of this Zhang Yongjie at all, besides, this guy always talks about Xie Xiuyun, Zhao Zhi is really a little annoyed.
