"Knock knock" There was a knock on the door. Chen Bijun hurriedly wiped away his tears, asked Wang Jingwei not to cry, stood up and tidied up his clothes and asked, "Who is it?" ”

Outside the door was the voice of the maid, "Madam, it's Mr. Nakanishi." ”

Chen Bijun hurriedly said, "Quick, please come in." ”

When the door opened, it was Nakanishi Gong. Zhongxi Gong nodded to Chen Bijun with a smile and said, "The meeting is over?" What do you think? Disillusioned with the Imperial Army? ”

Chen Bijun hurriedly shook his hand and said, "No, no, Mr. Zhongxi must not think nonsense, we have absolute confidence in the imperial army, besides, Jiang intermediary can tolerate the people of the world, but he can't tolerate us husband and wife." ”

Zhongxi Gong nodded with a smile and said, "Just kidding, don't be nervous, I'm here to talk to you, oh, and Mr. Wang about the situation." ”

Chen Bijun asked Zhongxi Gong to sit down, and he stood next to him and asked, "What's the situation?" ”

Zhongxi Gong was very satisfied with Chen Bijun's attitude and said, "First of all, I reiterate once again that the imperial army will not give up on you and Mr. Wang, unless Mr. Wang dies, we will not choose anyone else." ”

Chen Bijun nodded hurriedly and said, "Thank you so much, we will definitely contribute to the mutual aid of Greater East Asia." ”

Zhongxi Gong continued to obey and said, "Secondly, the imperial army hopes that you can form troops as soon as possible to reduce the pressure on the imperial army, the defeat of the imperial army in Shanxi is only because the main goal of the imperial army is placed elsewhere, you have to reflect your own value, and I can speak for you." After speaking, he turned around and left, leaving only Chen Bijun, who bowed his head and pondered-

Chongqing

Jiang Zhong walked into the conference room, Bai Chongxi, Li Zongren, He Yingqin and others were impressively present, and there were even the commanders of the major military regions, and even Wei Lihuang was sitting on the side.

Jiang Intermediary sat down and said with a smile: "It's been a long time, I haven't seen you, but the New Year is good." ”

He Yingqin smiled and said, "The blessing of the committee, I think everyone is a little more blessed than when they were in Wuhan." ”

Bai Chongxi and others also said a word, and I should say a word, so it was so lively.

Jiang Zhong took a breath and said, "I don't know if you guys are doing well this year. I've had a bad year at all, you see, is there one less commander of the war zone who didn't come? ”

Everyone doesn't need to look at it to know that Jiang Intermediary is talking about Yan Xishan.

Jiang intermediary took the case and shouted, "I won't say the specific situation, everyone should know it in their hearts, the Red Party is guilty of chaos, overthrowing the commander, and not obeying military orders, which is extremely hateful!" What do you say? ”

Wei Lihuang hesitated for a moment and said, "Commission, in the final analysis, the development of the Red Party is still in the name of anti-Japanese resistance, even if they set up a so-called anti-Japanese government now. It is also under our central government, even the chairman of the government must let Yan Xishan take the position, and the Eighth Route Army has just defeated the Japanese army again, and the four divisions have become their ghosts, which is very popular with the people, so I don't recommend dealing with them too directly. ”

Tang Enbo said: "I don't agree with General Wei's idea, we are fighting against Japan and bleeding in the front, and the Red Party is grabbing territory in the back, and then go on like this." The Japanese may be kicked out, but the whole world will become a red party. ”

Wei Lihuang kept his mouth shut, after all, the Red Party robbed the whole of Shanxi, and it has become a fact that Yan Xishan has been overlooked.

He Yingqin knew that Jiang Zhong did not plan to start an all-out war with the Red Party at this time. After all, neither public opinion nor the general environment allows it, and Japan is the biggest enemy, and sanctions are still the main thing against the Red Party.

He Yingqin said: "Commission, the Red Party controls Shanxi, I think it is a boat. There is no return, but fortunately, Nakajo Mountain is still in our hands, and we must strengthen the garrison of Nakajo Mountain. In addition, we should once again reiterate that all theaters must not act across regions without orders, and make it clear that there will be severe punishment in case of violation.

Of course, the Red Party has always done its own thing and will not obey the orders of the Central Military Order, but when it comes to settling accounts after the autumn, we have a handle in hand, don't we? ”

Jiang Intermediary hummed and said, "Zhongtiao Mountain must be strengthened, Junru, what do you think?" ”

Wei Lihuang hesitated for a moment, but still expressed his opinion and said, "Commission, the Eighth Route Army will never dare to take the initiative to attack us, so I think we can transfer our forces to counterattack the Japanese army now." ”

Jiang Zhong shouted, "Confused!! Who is the Red Party? is the best at stirring up nonsense and creating public opinion, can't you find a reason? Junru! Your experience of political struggle is still too shallow. As for the counterattack against the Japanese army?"

Bai Chongxi replied, "I don't think it's time yet, ladies and gentlemen, there are secret reports that the Japanese army is withdrawing from Guannai to the northeast, so that the Nanjing puppet government can train troops to help them rule the occupied areas.

But this is just intelligence, the Japanese army has not withdrawn yet, I think we should wait a few more months, and then attack when the Japanese army has withdrawn and the puppet army has not yet formed, I believe that there will be a victory. ”

Jiang Zhong also nodded and said, "The opinion of the Military Commission is like this, in the next time, continue the first phase of reorganization and training after the Battle of Wuhan, streamline the troops, and reorganize some of those who were ineffective in fighting last year, who did not obey orders, and who were too badly damaged, and initially decided to reorganize 120 divisions first, and the time node is the end of March. ”

At this time, everyone understood, where is this meeting to deal with the Red Party, this is a meeting to deal with the miscellaneous army, the whole training and training, and in the end, I am afraid that the miscellaneous army will be gone.

At this time, among the commanders of the major theaters, there were only Yan Xishan, Li Zongren, and Zhang Fakui who were not from the Central Army, Yan Xishan needless to say, Li Zongren and Bai Chongxi took care of each other, and they were not afraid of this reorganization, Zhang Fakui was the leader of the Cantonese warlords, and he supported Wang Jingwei when the Ninghan was divided, and now Wang Jingwei is treasonous, and he is worried that someone will make a fuss about what happened back then, where can he dare to oppose it, so no one in the whole venue speaks.

Jiang Intermediary looked at it and nodded, and said, "Since everyone agrees, let's do it like this, and the meeting will be dismissed!" ”

After the meeting, in Jiang Intermediary's room, Dai Li was constantly reporting something to Jiang Intermediary, Jiang Intermediary nodded silently and said, "Go for it." ”

Dai Li then bowed and left with confidence.

Since then, the whole of China, except for the battlefield behind enemy lines in North China, which is still full of gunsmoke, has entered a period of stability, whether it is Chongqing, Yan'an, Nanjing, or Beiping, they are recruiting troops, training troops, and preparing for the next big war.

And in Shanghai, a war without gunpowder began again.

Shanghai Concession. Under the protection of European countries, anti-Japanese newspapers were published here, anti-Japanese gatherings were staged every day, and every time the Japanese army suffered a defeat, it would be celebrated by beating gongs and drums, and whenever the national army was defeated, it would be staged to summon the spirits of the white flags. Let the Japanese army hate it to the bone and be helpless.

Because of the stability of the situation in the isolated island, the number of trading houses on the isolated island has increased from 200 in 37 years to 500 at this time, and there are countless hotels and dance halls. There are more than 20 cafes and amusement parks, and even film companies. It's full of glamour, drunkenness, and countless people numbing themselves with alcohol and opium to make themselves forget about the war beyond the island.

The booming economy has led to a boom in Shanghai's financial sector, and the four major banks opened by the Chongqing government here have continued to issue treasury bonds to replenish the blood of the Chongqing government, and in the past two months, a new bank has opened. That is the Central Reserve Bank of the Nanjing puppet government, which not only does not recognize legal tender, but instead issues "China Reserve Bonds", which makes the dispute between legal tender and "China Reserve Bills" break out. Patriotic businessmen from all sides openly expressed their denial of the "China Reserve Bonds", and Li Shiqun and others also led thugs to continuously force merchants to subscribe to the "China Reserve Bonds", and a financial war broke out.

Outside a beautiful villa, an old man walked out with the help of two bodyguards. Just as he was about to get into the car, suddenly a sedan rushed out, two people wearing tunics, masks and hats. Holding a shell gun in his hand, he leaned out of the window and hit the old man, and a dozen bullets were all tilted on the old man and the two bodyguards around him in a few breaths, and before the others could react, the car roared away.

In the business hall of the Shanghai branch of the China Reserve Bank, people kept coming in and out, and three middle-aged men walked in with an authentic Shanghainese dialect, talking about the cloth business in the south, holding a few boxes in their hands, probably to save money.

A lobby manager in a suit had a twinkle in his eyes, and his instincts told him it was a big client. I hurriedly wanted to walk over and talk.

But I saw that one of the three middle-aged men also smiled and nodded to him, but instead of stretching out his hand, he tore open his clothes, only to see a dense grenade tied to his clothes, and the other two people didn't know where to take out their pistols, and shot them twice at the lobby manager.

"Ahh "Run!" Everyone was startled by the gunshots, and when they saw the three people, they thought they had run into a bank robber, so they screamed in fright and ran away. The three men opened the box, and there were grenades inside, all of which had been opened and the fire ropes were tied together, and the three of them pulled the grenades one by one with great speed and threw them to the counter. When you're done throwing it, turn around and run.

The shrapnel and shock wave of the "boom" "boom" grenade blew up the bank personnel at the counter and turned the entire bank lobby into a mess.

"Bang" A teacup was smashed and shattered, Li Shiqun glared viciously, and said with bared teeth, "Damn military commander, goddamn Dai Li, I haven't done it yet, but he made the first move?" ”

Ding Mo Village, who is thin and tall, wears a suit and leather shoes, but his crooked head and gloomy eyes from time to time can't reveal the solemnity of the suit, and he smokes a lot every day, revealing a sense of decadence. He looked at Zhongxi Gong and Yuan Shu next to him, "Two, this military commander is becoming more and more arrogant, and now everyone in the entire China Savings Bank is in danger, you must know that not only ordinary employees were killed, but even bigwigs like Ji Yunqing were killed at their own doorstep, and now there are hundreds of resignation letters from bank personnel alone, and if this continues, the economy of the entire Nanjing government will collapse." We're forced to fight back. ”

Nakanishi said with a smile: "The meaning of our Great Japanese Empire is very simple, our country will not offend European countries for the Nanjing government, but if you act alone, we can't stop it, right?" After all, you're also a sovereign state, aren't you? ”

Hearing such words, several people glanced at each other, and they all understood that the Japanese wanted to be **** and wanted to build a memorial arch. Li Shiqun said hatefully: "If you want to act, I think you should simply make it bigger, not only the people from the four major banks of the Chongqing government, but also those newspapers and literati who talk nonsense every day, as well as the few entrepreneurs who give money to Chongqing every day, can move, and if they don't move, these people will probably never know who the owner of Shanghai is." ”

Nakanishi squinted his eyes, he only came here to participate in the meeting, and the Japanese army did not have the right to give him guidance, but if the two evil wolves of Li Shiqun and Ding Mocun were really released, I am afraid that the anti-Japanese forces in Shanghai would suffer a lot of losses.

Ding Mo Estate nodded and said, "I think we have to track down the people who attacked these times, and we must pay for it with blood!" ”

Li Shiqun snorted and laughed, "It's simple, there are not many others in Shanghai, there are a lot of little red guys, as long as they give money, they can't inquire about anything, as far as the military and the central commanders are concerned, I don't know?" They are all lustful and gambling people, and there will definitely be rumors coming out. ”

Yuan Shu said loudly: "It's best to ask Nanjing to speak on this matter, otherwise I'm afraid there will be trouble in the future." ”

Li Shiqun was stunned for a moment, and after thinking for a while, he realized that he was saying that he should not be too high-profile, and be careful of falling into the fate of the cunning rabbit and the hunting dog. He nodded, and arched his hand at Yuan Shu and said, "Thank you Mr. Yuan for your advice, then I will gather people first." ”

- A newspaper in the concession

The slippery ghost looked at the information that had just been translated, and was frightened, and said that he was lucky, destroyed the note first, sorted out his things, and hurriedly walked out.

- Five days later

Twenty or thirty black shadows suddenly appeared outside the dormitory of the bank of the Nationalist Government in Shanghai, and one of the leaders looked at the moon in the sky, waved his hand, and several grenades that were sparkling broke the glass and flew into the dormitory.

"Boom" "Boom" accompanied by a few explosions, those black shadows broke in, everyone held pistols and machetes in their hands, cut and kill when they saw people, many of the bank employees were women, these people also had no mercy, the staff who had just been awakened by the explosion looked at this scene, they were frightened crazy, only knew that they kept shrinking back and holding the quilt to cover themselves, but such a cowardly appearance was extremely animalistic of these people, several people kept laughing and kept going up and down, and one of them wanted to pounce on them as soon as they took off their pants, but they were kicked down by a person behind them.

The man looked back, but it was his captain Wu Sibao.

Wu Sibao snorted, "Don't be ashamed, hurry up and work, grab them all and take them away!" (To be continued.) )
