Zhou Guansheng first expressed his gratitude and said: "We are all very satisfied with the commendation given by the Nationalist Government to our troops in the Second Theater.

However, the Nationalist Government is extremely dissatisfied with the traitors of the former puppet Mongolian government and the arbitration of Wuhai, Chairman of the National Committee, the Ningma troops first attacked the commander of our army and provoked first, this is conclusive evidence, and our side has sufficient human and material evidence, if the Nationalist Government cannot handle this matter impartially, I am afraid that the people of the world will be leisurely. ”

Jiang intermediary said as a matter of course, "This matter is indeed a bit controversial, but Wuhai was recovered by Ningma after all, even if Ma Dunjing really did something to attack you, this is also his personal behavior, if it is really determined after the investigation, I will punish him, and I will also let his father take him to Yan'an to apologize to Xiao Jinguang, if Xiao Jinguang has any accidents." I punished him for supporting Xiao Jinguang's family and carrying the coffin and sweeping the tomb for Xiao Jinguang. Such a punishment should be enough, right? ”

Zhou Guansheng waved his hand and said, "Then how can Wuhai be regarded as Ningma's recovery?" The Japanese army was obviously forced to withdraw from Wuhai by our army. ”

Jiang Intermediary shouted: "Guansheng! This Wuhai belongs to the Republic of China! When did it become which party and faction? Don't say that this time it was indeed Ningma who entered Wuhai first, it was he who entered later, and the national government handed over the ruling power to Ningma, so what? ”

Zhou Guansheng looked at Jiang Intermediary and knew that Jiang Intermediary came prepared, and he must have prepared the answers to the questions he was going to ask, Zhou Guansheng thought for a while and said, "What about the pseudo-Mongolian officials?" Those are the scum of the nation! Now that Jiang Gong is vigorously using these people, what do those soldiers who killed the enemy think in blood? ”

Jiang said soothingly, "Guansheng! You have to think about this thing, this Suiyuan has just been recovered, naturally there is a lot of turmoil in various places, if we shout and kill those traitors and scum now, it will make Suiyuan chaos, and the place where you have worked so hard to fight down may be sent to Japan by these people again, so ah! If you can't bear it, you will make a big plan, we will repay it first, let these people relax their guards, and then slowly clean up, so that it is foolproof, this also requires you to do a lot of work below, appease the soldiers below, and let them understand the government's hard work. ”

Zhou Guansheng shook his head and said, "Isn't this encouraging those people to commit treason? Chairman of the National Committee, the harm of traitors is worse than that of Japanese criminals, forgive King De, Li Shouxin and others today, tomorrow, will Wang Jingwei be able to return to be the vice president of the White Party? ”

"Smack!" Jiang Zhong slammed his scepter, turned around and said, "Guansheng! You have said this, Wang Jingwei is Wang Jingwei, King De is King De, the two cannot be compared, not to mention that I also said that this is just an expedient measure. ”

Zhou Guansheng rushed forward and said, "Chairman, this is not a question of expediency, this is a question of whether we can firmly implement the policy of resolutely resisting Japan, this is a question of how the two million people of Suiyuan view the Nationalist Government, and this is a question of how millions of soldiers trust the government. ”

Jiang Zhong snorted, "The government can't resist the Japanese, hasn't it done enough in the past two years?" Songhu! Lunan! Taierzhuang! When was Wanjialing not a mountain of blood sea corpses killed? As for the people, what do they know? If they could understand everything, our country would not be where it is today. Didn't those traitors come out of the people's houses? ”

Zhou Guansheng took out a few pamphlets from his arms and said, "This is the signature of the military and political leaders of the Second War Zone jointly recommending Fu Zuoyi as the chairman of Suiyuan Province, this is the signature of the famous people of various tribes, villages and towns in Suiyuan, and this is the signature of Mr. Song, Mr. He and other democratic figures. ”

Jiang Intermediary suddenly blushed and shouted angrily, "Are you forcing the palace?" Is it forcing the government? ”

Zhou Guansheng said word by word: "I'm expressing public opinion!" ”

Jiang Zhong pinched the scepter tightly, and let go for a long time before he said, "I'll think about it again, you go down." ”

Zhou Guansheng knew that he could only go so far today, so he bowed slightly and left.

Song Meiling walked out, stroked Jiang Zhong's back and said, "Look at you, why bother to be angry with yourself like this?" ”

Jiang Zheng shook his head and said, "I'm not angry, I'm scared, Darling, it took less than ten days for the Red Party to collect so many signatures, what does this mean?" Also, these people vigorously create public opinion in the newspapers and criticize the government's policies! The tail is hard to get off!! ”

Song Meiling asked, "Then what should I do?" ”

Jiang Zhong looked at the map on the wall and said, "We must be prepared to start a war once the anti-Japanese war is over, I have said before that the existence of the Red Party armed forces is to resist Japan, they can develop, they can expand, I allow these, but we must not make it bigger!" This is our bottom line, do you know how many party members they have now? I asked Dai Li to do an investigation secretly, and at least it has reached more than 600,000, not including their so-called underground party! It has become a fact that the Red Party has become big in the north, but the south must not let them get involved, and the northwest must not give them a chance! ”

As he spoke, Jiang squinted his eyes and swept around the map and said, "I was able to go on a northern expedition once back then, and in a few years, I can also go on a second northern expedition!" Okay, that's all for later, let's take it one step at a time. ”

At this time, Dai Li carefully knocked on the door, and Jiang saw that it was him, nodded and asked, "What's wrong?" ”

Dai Li took a telegram and said, "This is a telegram from Ganzhou, do you want to look at it?" ”

Jiang asked the intermediary, "What did you say?" ”

Dai Li said, "It's about Suiyuan, Ganzhou hopes that Fu Zuoyi will take over the chairmanship of Suiyuan, and strictly deal with King De and others, which is the joint signature of the military and government in Ganzhou." ”

Song Meiling has always disliked ******, and couldn't help but say, "Why is Jingguo so ignorant?" Doesn't he know who his father is? ”

Jiang Intermediary closed his eyes and thought for a while, but instead of getting angry, he smiled and said, "Okay, don't reply to him, so be it." ”

-- Chongqing Red Party Office

"Zhou Gong, how is it? I'm afraid Lao Jiang is not so easy to agree, right? Mr. Zhu, as a representative of the second war zone, came out and said with a smile.

Fu Zuoyi, who had just arrived on the plane with his head down, said, "If it doesn't work, forget it, I'm not unfamiliar with the position of chairman of Suiyuan Province, as long as I can fight devils with all my brothers, and do things for the people with peace of mind." ”

Qin Bangxian, president of Xinhua News Agency, shook his head and said, "General Fu must not think like this, this time it is not to fight for any position, but to tell the people that traitors must atone for what they have done!" The anti-Japanese heroes should get their due status, and more importantly, this determines whether the people of Suiyuan can live a new life in the future or return to the old suffering. ”

Zhou Guansheng shook his head and said, "The chairman of the committee did not agree to our request, and the matter of Wuhai was also resolutely handed over to Ningma, and as for the matter of punishing King De, he was not willing to let go at all." ”

Mr. Zhu rubbed his hands and said, "If the chairman does this, aren't you afraid that the world will not be convinced?" ”

The crowd sighed and stopped talking.

After a while, Zhou Guansheng said, "A military meeting is about to be held, Mr. Zhu still needs you to mention it at the meeting, and in addition, we need to mobilize public opinion immediately." Criticize the actions of the national government this time, and must not let King De ascend the throne! ”

Mr. Zhu nodded and said, "I understand!" But this time we're really at a disadvantage."

- The next day

Chongqing Government Building, today a group of troops gathered outside the building, reporters kept taking pictures, all the air defense forces of the Chongqing government are in operation, to prevent the Japanese air raid at this time, although the conference room is in a very safe place underground, but also to be precautionary.

"General Wei Lihuang, commander of the First Theater of Operations, has arrived!!"

"General Gu Zhutong, commander of the Third Theater of Operations, has arrived!!"

"General Li Zongren, commander of the Fifth Theater of Operations, has arrived!!"

"General He Yingqin, commander of the Fourth Theater of Operations, has arrived!!"

"General Chen Cheng, commander of the Ninth Theater of Operations, has arrived!!"

"General Fu Zuoyi, Deputy Commander of the Eighth Theater of Operations, has arrived!!"

"General Ma Hongkui, Deputy Commander of the Eighth Theater of Operations, has arrived!!"

"General Hu Zongnan, Deputy Commander of the 10th Theater of Operations, has arrived!!"

"General Zhu Daizhen, Deputy Commander of the Second Theater of Operations, has arrived!!"

"Mr. Kong Xiangxi, Minister of Finance and President of the Executive Yuan, has arrived!!"

"General Bai Chongxi, Chief of the General Staff, has arrived!!"

"Chairman Chiang has arrived!!"

In the shouting one after another, one after another generals in military uniforms walked into the venue, Jiang Zhong was wearing a general's uniform, holding a scepter, Bai Chongxi on the left, Kong Xiangxi on the right, walked to the right position with a smile, pressed his hands and said, "Comrades, everyone has worked hard recently!" Some of you haven't seen you for a year or two, but I'm glad to see you all today. ”

Gu Zhutong first said: "The commission is also hard, in the past two years, we have successfully blocked the attack of the Japanese invaders, smashed Japan's three-month big talk of solving the Chinese problem, and hundreds of thousands of Japanese soldiers died in our China, all of which are the merits of the commission." ”

Jiang Zhong shook his finger and smiled: "When will Mo San be joking?" Your third theater of operations is surrounded by the Japanese army and Wang Rebellious, which is not easy. Today, we are holding a meeting to discuss the next step of the operation, and second, to once again unify command and thinking! As he spoke, Jiang Intermediary glanced at the serious Zhu Daizhen and the smiling Li Zongren and said, "Then let's talk about our plan by Jiansheng first." ”

Bai Chongxi stood up, nodded to everyone and said with a smile, "Ladies and gentlemen, the General Staff has decided to launch a huge all-out counteroffensive in the near future based on the recent domestic and foreign situation!"

The 1st Theater of Operations was responsible for attacking Kaifeng, fraternity, and pinning down enemy forces.

The 2nd Theater was responsible for attacking Zhangjiakou and pinning down the Japanese forces in Beiping.

The Third Theater used the main force to cut off the Yangtze River traffic, and attacked in Hukou, Madang, Dongliu, Guichi, Datong, Tongling, and Digang.

The Fourth Theater should use a camera to attack Chao and Shan, and the main force should sweep away the enemy on the Guangjiu Road and Nanning.

The Fifth War Zone swept away the enemy between Xinyang and Wuhan in the southern section of the Pinghan Line, and advanced into Hankou; and attacked the enemy on the Hanyi Highway and cut off the traffic between the Xianghua and Hanyi Highways.

Due to the recovery of Suiyuan, the Eighth Theater was responsible for garrisoning Suiyuan and attracting and containing the Japanese army, so there was no need to attack.

The Ninth Theater was responsible for attacking Tai'an, Lincheng, Tongshan, and Chuxian from the east and west in order to cope with the operations along the river.

The 10th Theater is a reserve, ready to support the 5th Theater as the main attack.

In addition, the guerrillas behind enemy lines had to cut off the Japanese army's communications and communications networks to respond to our army's attack. Do you have any questions? ”

Chen Cheng stood up and asked, "There is something to ask about the humble position, who is the main attack in this counteroffensive?" Who is the feint? What is the purpose of the campaign? Is it a land grab? Or kill the enemy? ”

Bai Chongxi pointed to the map and said, "The main attack is the first, second, fifth, and ninth four theaters, and we hope that after this battle, we can recover two to five large cities and more than forty small cities." ”

Chiang stood up and said, "The tyranny of the Japanese army is increasingly opposed by people all over the world, and the United States, Britain, and the Soviet Union have all come to our aid!" Japan is becoming a world orphan! However, the international community is still waiting to see if we really have the ability and determination to drive out the Japanese invaders, so we must show our determination and courage to the international community in order to gain more support from the international community. ”

Mr. Zhu said at this time: "Chairman of the Committee, I have no opinion on the strategic deployment of the Second War Zone, but I recently read a sentence in "Liutao", which is: 'Those who use rewards are valuable, those who use punishments are valuable, and those who reward and punish must be, and those who see and hear in the ears and eyes will not be yin. \'Since we are going to fight a great war, we must have clear rewards and punishments, and the recent fact that the National Government has rewarded those who should not be rewarded, and turned a blind eye to those who should be rewarded, may not be conducive to the next war!' ”

Everyone looked at Fu Zuoyi instantly, and Jiang Zhong smiled and said, "Brother Dai Zhen is fighting for General Fu, there have been many newspapers recently, and people in the society say that my rewards and punishments are unfair!" This is really ridiculous!

General Fu is brave and good at fighting, moving forward bravely, with the style of ancient famous generals, as well as He Long of the 18th Group Army, and Tong Linge, acting commander of the 83rd Army, all performed well. Originally, I was going to wait until the meeting was over, but since General Zhu proposed it, I will talk about it first. ”

As he spoke, Jiang Huang suddenly shouted with a straight face, "Decree of the National Government!" According to the situation of the war, Suiyuan was divided into two according to the Yellow River as the boundary, and the south of the Yellow River, including Baotou, Wuhai, and Bayannur, was collectively called Hetao Province, and the provincial capital was Shaanba.

To the south of the Yellow River, the provincial capital is Suiyuan, General Fu, these two places, you can choose one place as the chairman, how about it? ”

Fu Zuoyi couldn't help but look at Zhu Daizhen in surprise when he heard this, and the others were also surprised, Jiang Zhong looked at everyone's expressions and couldn't help but be complacent about his genius, if the Red Party chooses the Hetao, then he can block the possibility of the Red Party's development to the north, if he chooses Suiyuan, then he can take advantage of the topography of the Hetao, pile up heavy troops, and raid Yan'an at any time, no matter what, he will not suffer, and he also sealed the mouth of Youyou.

Zhu Daizhen said slowly, "Chairman of the Committee, is it better to think more about this division of provinces?" I'm afraid it's not for those of us who are soldiers to decide. (To be continued.) )
