Chapter 884: A Stage for One Man

The undercurrent of the mountain city of Chongqing is surging, after the Japanese set a fire, they hide behind to watch the excitement, huā a lot of silver, buy some unscrupulous literati and scum, and then add fuel to the fire, those officials in the Chongqing government who are eager for Tang Qiuli to fall into the abyss of no return, heard the wind and moved, and some even went into battle shirtless.

On the point of bringing down Tang Qiuli, the Japanese and some high-ranking officials of the Chongqing government had a surprisingly tacit understanding, and Chairman Jiang sat firmly in the Huangshan Mansion, not coldly watching the wind and rain stirred up in Chongqing, and Tang Qiuli was ruined and discredited, and became the Han Jiān referred to by Qianfu, which was the result he most wanted to see.

This is also Chairman Jiang's favorite way, it is more ideal than directly killing Tang Qiuli, those arrogant soldiers and fierce generals under him can't pick out the máo disease of the country, this is the will of the people, even if it is a powerful person, you can't ignore the voice of the people, no matter how much Tang Qiu leaves the soldiers and horses, you can't block everyone's mouth.

Therefore, today's inquiry meeting of the Supervision Yuan can be said to have been convened at the behest of Chairman Chiang, and this old gentleman who started the cannon was used as a gunman in the dark by Méng, so that a pure literati could raise such a professional military issue, and the people behind the scenes did not work the old gentleman.

For such a question, Tang Qiuli can deny or justify, the problem is that this old gentleman is a person he respects, and his style of conduct is very in line with Tang Qiuli's taste, and besides, for a literati who does not understand military affairs, he himself has no confidence to convince this stubborn old gentleman, and he will be entangled in the details and unable to extricate himself.

"Old man, in a word, I can't do it, the Northeast Kwantung Army has millions of people, and it has been operating in the Northeast for decades, which can be described as deep-rooted, and the strength of our independent division in the Northeast is only more than 200,000 people, and it is not easy to stabilize the Jinzhou area in western Liaoning.

"Of course, the troops of our independent division in the northeast can fight to the death and try to recover too much land, but once the Kwantung Army attacks with all its might, our army will only have the fate of annihilation in the northeast, at that time, not only will Liaoxi not be protected, but the Japanese will also take the opportunity to capture Shanhaiguan and wave troops in North China and even Pingjin region, if so, North China and Pingjin will fall again, if the northern barrier is lost, then Henan and even the Central Plains, does the old gentleman think it can be saved?"

Tang Qiuli's tone was clear, and he talked eloquently, the old man's life experience of dozens of years old, when it came to military issues, compared with Tang Qiuli, it was not a little bit worse, his thinking had involuntarily followed the young man in front of him, and he couldn't help but shake his head, in fact, he had already agreed with Tang Qiuli's opinion.

Tang Qiuli's respect for this respected old gentleman has another layer, how can the old gentleman not be like this, the young man in front of him, his graceful demeanor, first got the recognition of the old gentleman with a backbone, this is the image of the general in his mind, those generals of the country, either the martial arts, or the cunning people, used to resist the Japanese Kou's jīng strength and mind, less than one percent of the drilling, promotion and fortune.

If you want to rely on them to drive out the Japanese invaders, it is even more difficult, since the old gentleman did not object to his statement, Tang Qiu started a discussion, and it was also necessary to save others from entanglement on this issue.

"There may be other respectable members who want to ask, the North China Independent Division is now hundreds of thousands of people, and the equipment is second-to-none among all the best, why not go all out to recover the Northeast? Again, the strength does not allow, the defense line of our North China Independent Division, from the Songhu area in the south to the Bohai Bay in the north, stretches for thousands of kilometers, and the Japanese army can choose to attack at any point. ”

"If I, Tang Qiuli, use all my troops to recover the Northeast, of course, I can create a miracle, however, the loss of troops will be unprecedentedly huge, whether we can have the strength to fight again, it is difficult to say, once the North China Independent Division, which is the mainstay of the anti-Japanese battlefield in the north, is severely lost, next, in the face of the attack of the Japanese Invaders, what will be used to resist? How can we ensure that the splendid land in the south of the Yangtze River will not be trampled on by the iron hooves of the Japanese invaders? ”

Speaking of this, Tang Qiuli's tone turned sharp, vaguely questioning, his eyes flashed sharply, and his momentum was bī people, who could be qualified to wrestle with Vice Chairman Tang, who had been fighting on the front line of resistance against Japan, in terms of military strategy, that was self-inflicted humiliation, not to mention that these supervisory committee members, that is, those high-ranking generals in the national government, how many of them have been fighting with the Japanese for six years?

"It is true that someone in Tang can wave his army to recover the lost territory in the Northeast for his own false name, and win a good reputation that the whole country recites, but what about the future? The North China Independent Division has run out, who will support the war situation in the north? Therefore, Tang Qiuli will never be brave for the sake of a mere fame, and be a soldier who has no enemies in the north, and be a sinner of my Chinese nation through the ages.

The voice fell, the aftermath lingered, Tang Qiuli looked at everyone calmly, in the huge conference room of the Supervision Yuan, it was quiet, only the magnesium lamp in the reporter's hand was constantly flickering, and the pen in his hand was desperately writing, writing down every word Tang Qiuli said.

Tang Qiu smiled secretly, only to find out that he had the potential of a political family, he didn't blush when he told lies, what he said just now was clear and righteous, and he also dressed himself up as a great national cause, and endured humiliation and was willing to accept the misunderstanding, in fact, if Liu Tiehan's Dongzhi troops were mobilized, his own direct corps, plus Feng Jiwu's Niangziguan garrison corps, he could definitely recover the northeast, and the casualties would not be too great.

At that time, the Kwantung Army had already fought with Zhukov's Soviet Far Eastern Front, and it was simply unable to return to the northeast, and even if it was rushed back in the end, it was a tired soldier covered in bruises, so there was nothing to worry about, but it did not fit its long-term strategic layout, so let the Japanese stay in the northeast for a while longer.

He continued: "Everyone, it is not that the day of the recovery of the Northeast is far away, as long as our strength is strong enough, the Northeast can be recovered at any time, of course, the heavy task of increasing the strength of the North China Independent Division will fall on all friends in the press, I hope you will publicize more, our army is the only team that has always fought against the Japanese invaders, and we welcome enthusiastic young people from all over the country to join the ranks of the North China Independent Division and fight for the Chinese nation."

It went too far, turning the occasion of the Supervision Yuan's questioning into a lecture hall for personal speeches, and a press conference for recruiting troops, but it was also said that it was reasonable, righteous and strict, and impeccable, and the old gentleman who was the first to raise the question was the first to applaud, and he was completely impressed by Tang Qiuli.

If it weren't for his advanced age, he would have the urge to put pen to paper, and then, the stormy applause sounded in the auditorium of the Supervision Yuan, and some young reporters, with a warm flame beating in their eyes, it is estimated that they already have the idea of going north to join the army, and if anyone is entangled in the issue of whether Tang Qiu will recover the northeast, I am afraid that he will become everyone's public enemy.

The applause subsided, and the chairman of the meeting asked: "Ladies and gentlemen, do you have any questions to question General Tang?" If not, the meeting was adjourned, "the chairman is also more troubled, he came with a task, and it is the intention of the supreme leader, but the direction of the meeting, he has no control at all."

If it continues to develop, won't it become a stage for the government to pay money and set up venues for Tang Qiuli to perform alone? If the short-eyed supervisory committee member asks a digression, and Tang Qiuli shakes out some of the inside stories of the state government in public, I'm afraid that he, the chairman, will come to an end, and the consequences will be worrying, and his death will be miserable.

But there are people who don't know each other, a supervisory committee member wearing a suit, in his fifties, and wearing gold-rimmed glasses, stood up, "Wait, Comrade Chairman, I still have questions, I want to question General Tang," the chairman of the meeting secretly complained in his heart, this person he was very familiar with, the two of them were better, they were Supervisory Commissioners of the Kuomintang, and they were usually not very peaceful, and they were very close to Yang Yongtai, Zhang Qun and other bigwigs of the political science department.

"May I ask General Tang, can you explain to all the members of the Supervisory Committee about accepting the Japanese 10 tons of gold, 3,000 sets of oil extraction equipment and jīng secret machine chuáng as a prerequisite for not recovering Northeast China? Does this mean that General Tang made peace with the Japanese in order to satisfy his own interests? Please answer truthfully, "This voice is not high, but the tone is deep, and the question is very poisonous."

It is not for you Tang Qiuli to avoid the explanation of the real and the false, but to answer, that is to say, the evidence of this matter is conclusive, you can only say the motive, in the auditorium, there was a whisper of jiāo head to ear, most of the people, all looked at the young general on the stage with a worried look, only a few people, the face lù happy sè, this question, you Tang Qiuli can not use some generous words to cover up the past, as long as you explain, at least there is such a thing, real money, Can you tell me clearly?

"There is absolutely no such thing, I don't know this commissioner, from which aspect did you learn that I Tang Qiuli accepted the gold and equipment of the Japanese, if there is conclusive evidence, you might as well take it out on the spot, so that everyone can open their eyes, if there is a witness, you might as well let him show up and testify against me Tang Qiuli on the spot, I myself also want to know, the source of this committee member?"

Tang Qiuli said lightly, where is there any human and material evidence, Liu Tiehan can't be stupid enough to give the Japanese a receipt, with the stinky temper of the Japanese, it is impossible to admit that he was forced to hemorrhage in front of so many Chinese, then where is the face of the Japanese Empire? What is the prestige of the imperial army?

It is okay for the Japanese to secretly unleash evil practices against themselves, and in front of the public, they will not run to such an occasion to kill the Japanese, proving that the Yamato nation, which has always been high, is forced to ask its enemies, the objects of conquest, to raise their hands and be willing to pay the price of ten tons of gold and a large amount of equipment in order not to suffer losses in their troops.
