Time goes back to 12 hours ago in the early hours of the morning, at the wharf on the north bank of the Yangtze River, several steamers docked on the shore, and the huge hull caused a very strong visual shock to the soldiers of the 57th Division who had never seen such a large ship, the towering chimneys emitted billowing black smoke, and the searchlights illuminated the nearby water surface and the road, and the soldiers on the shore were black and pressed until the night stretched out and could not see the end.

This is the Liangda Group used half a month to transfer all the 10,000-ton freighters of the group's shipping companies that had time to rush to Shanghai, and Wu Xiaoliang was helpless against Jiang Zhongzheng's persecution, so he had to think of such a way to repair the plank road in the open and Chen Cang in the dark.

Promising Lao Jiang to send troops to Jiangxi is just a trick to delay the army, in order to gain time and calmly dispatch the freighters of the Liangda Group to Shanghai, but in this way, even if Lao Jiang is offended to death, but the lesser of two evils, compared to entering Jiangxi to suppress bandits, offending Lao Jiang is nothing, one, Wu Xiaoliang does not want to do a senseless civil war, consume his own small armed forces, two, he does not want to leave himself a bad name, political struggle or something is easy to thankless, It's best to stay away, otherwise you'll get into trouble if you're not careful.

As long as his tens of thousands of horses successfully boarded the cargo ship and evacuated from Shanghai safely, he will no longer have anything to fear, and it is far from enough to have a passion for serving the country in these years, and he must have a keen sense of smell like a hunting dog, and a rabbit-like agility to protect himself in the midst of infighting and constraints in order to free up his hands to fight the Japanese invaders at a critical moment, otherwise he can only be a stepping stone and stepping stone for politicians and careerists to go to the next level.

Wu Xiaoliang boarded one of the 10,000-ton ships with the senior staff officers, and he did not continue to enter the cabin to rest, but stood on the deck on the right side of the ship and stared at the dense but orderly soldiers boarding the ship on the dock below.

He could never have imagined that after the Battle of Songhu, which lasted for more than several months, these soldiers who shed their blood for the country would secretly flee Shanghai in this way.

There were no flowers, no applause, no music, no crowd to see them off, not a single government official or celebrity, only the fiasco searchlight and the cool river breeze silently watched them.

Wu Xiaoliang raised his wrist and looked at the time, it was already a quarter past three in the morning, and three transport ships had already been driven away, and the remaining five were the last batch, and when the remaining soldiers finished boarding the ship, they would completely leave Shanghai, a city for which they had fought bloodily for nearly 100 days and nights.

"Jun Zuo enter the cabin, the river is cool outside."

Yang Xiaoou was still by Wu Xiaoliang's side as he had been for nearly a hundred days and nights, his Second Army had all boarded the ship, and the 57th Division had also stepped out first, and the motors below were roaring, and only the tanks of the armored brigade remained.

"Don't worry, it's cold outside, so tight that people wake up, and I can see the road in the darkness clearly."

"Junzuo already has a plan."

Yang Xiaoou's eyes lit up, I don't know what idea this young general has, it's really fun to fight with such a person, no matter when and where they always take precautions early, their subordinates just take care of the war and make a lot of money, this time the weapons and ammunition sent by Lao Jiang, his second army is almost inside and out, and now all the German-style equipment, compared to the old sleeve Hanyang made miscellaneous equipment, it is really incomparable, and the combat effectiveness has been greatly improved, At the same time, he was also glad for his decision to join Wu Xiaoliang.

In contrast, his Jin army brother took refuge in Lao Jiang's situation deteriorated, this time the Sino-Japanese Beijing-Shanghai War, Lao Jiang took the opportunity to reorganize his troops, seized his military power, and now has no position and no power, wandering around the mansions of various high-ranking officials in Nanjing, just to find another messenger with oil and water to fish, but now nothing has been accomplished, presumably his few savings are about to be exhausted.

Yang Xiaoou shook his body faintly, pulled his thoughts back to reality, and only listened to Wu Xiaoliang: "The war is far from over, the Japanese are selfless and immortal, and a larger-scale war is only sooner or later, and our time is running out." ”

Wu Xiaoliang let out a long sigh and continued: "The four northeastern provinces have fallen, and the land of Hebei is also under the threat of the Japanese army, if a full-scale war breaks out between China and Japan, Shanxi and our Shandong will take the brunt, Shanxi is okay to say, there are Taihang Mountains to do a long-term struggle, and Shandong is located in the plain without danger to defend ......"

Speaking of no danger to defend, Wu Xiaoliang suddenly fell silent.

Yang Xiaoou did not expect that Wu Xiaoliang actually mentioned this, Shandong not only has no danger to defend, but also close to the sea, almost everywhere can be boarded.6 Because there is no strong navy, the cities by the sea are also directly exposed to the blows of the Japanese large-caliber naval guns, with his understanding of the Japanese battleships, those naval guns with a caliber of more than 3oo millimeters can have a firing range of more than 30 kilometers, and the power is terrifying, and the Japanese 6 Army is under the fire support of the naval guns, and the 6 operations on the 6 are bound to be easy, and the possibility of Shandong defending this long coastline is very small.

Thinking of this, the joy of successfully evacuating Shanghai and smashing Lao Jiang suddenly disappeared without a trace.

Wu Xiaoliang was immediately keenly aware of the change in Yang Xiaoou's situation, and it was a long-term concern for China and Japan to start a war sooner or later, and there was a near-term concern that needed to be solved immediately.

"Brother Yiru has thought about ruling a province."

"What...... What, govern a province. ”

"Yes."

In charge of a province, Yang Xiaoou felt that there was a problem in his ears, or he had auditory hallucinations, but after Wu Xiaoliang's affirmative answer landed, he felt that he couldn't keep up with the rhythm of Wu Xiaoliang's thinking, which was too jumpy.

The steamer's whistle hissed, all the materials and personnel had been boarded, the east was already faintly white, the hull of the ship suddenly shook and started slowly, Wu Xiaoliang came Yang Xiaoou walked to the cabin.

"Let's go, the cabin says go."

Yang Xiaoou had already eased up at this time, and followed behind Wu Xiaoliang with a faint expectation in his heart.

"Let's fight the Japanese invaders in Beijing and Shanghai, Jing Cong is not idle in Henan, and now the major cities in Henan are in our hands, so we have to fight for the position of chairman of Henan Province this time."

Henan Province, it is actually Henan Province, Yang Xiaoou only felt that his heart was beating violently, Wu Xiaoliang said that even a fool would understand what he meant, the provincial chairman of the Central Plains Province is a feudal official, and what more can he ask for in life.

"Jun Za means."

Yang Xiaoou actually has some period of Ai Ai.

"I plan to help my brother to become the chairman of Henan Province."

Wu Xiaoliang smiled indifferently, the two of them had already entered the cabin that had been cleaned up a long time ago, about five square meters, and the two sat down around the table fixed on the floor in the middle of the cabin, and the attendants had already poured hot water for the two chiefs to drive away the cold that had been soaked all night.

"Humble Xie Junza cultivation."

Clearly with a little joy and excitement, this thank you is from the heart, he never thought that he came to Wu Xiaoliang is just a halfway monk, in just a few months can get such trust, how can he not be excited, people in this era still have the blood of the ancients as confidants in their bones, especially these generals from the old Beiyang, this imprint is more profound.

In fact, during the entire 6th period of the Republic of China, the upper-level rulers of the Beiyang era, whether they were senior officials of the central cabinet or the real power generals in charge of the Beiyang army, were more commendable in terms of private morality and public morality, and they were slightly different from the propaganda of later generations.

Yang Xiaoou, as a branch of Yan Xishan's lineage, is closer to the former, perhaps the national consciousness of the country is poor, but the private morality is definitely not bad.

Wu Xiaoliang said solemnly: "The main government in Henan is more important, and Xiaoliang has to ask Yiru to be a brother." ”

For this tone and rhetoric, Yang Xiaoou still felt a little surprised and surprised, Yucheng himself as the chairman of Henan, that is a very generous gift and help, how to make it seem like a heavy please, but after a little thought, I understand Wu Xiaoliang's intentions, after all, it is still Wu Xiaoliang said before, a big war between China and Japan is only sooner or later, and let himself govern Henan, undoubtedly to run Henan into an iron barrel in a few years, so that the Japanese have no way to speak.

However, he asked himself if he had this ability, and there was a faint trace of pressure, this troubled magistrate is really not good to do, once he felt the pressure, he immediately sobered up a lot, it is not easy to fight for this chairman of Henan, Gu Zhutong's tens of thousands of people are stationed in the Xuchang area of the Jinghan line, and if they want to seize this large province of the Central Plains, I am afraid that they still can't bypass the old Jiang in Nanjing, but they have just given the old Jiang a hard time, which is considered to be offended to death, whether it is out of personal grudges or interests, the big fat meat in Henan is afraid that it is impossible to loosen up.

But looking at Wu Xiaoliang's solemn look, as if Henan had already arrived, he finally couldn't hold back his doubts and asked: "Gu Zhutong's people are in Xuchang, and if you want to win the chairman of Henan Province, I'm afraid you have to nod and agree with someone Jiang in Nanjing." ”

Wu Xiaoliang said: "When I arrive in Jinan, I will send a telegram to Lao Jiang, and it is not easy for Lao Jiang to refuse, but it is not his character not to toss a little moth." ”

Sure enough, a week later, Wu Xiaoliang arrived in Jinan and sent a long telegram to Lao Jiang, and the reply was extremely fast.

Wu Xiaoliang couldn't see Lao Jiang's angry appearance, but he could also imagine that he was unwilling to swallow this bad breath, and a telegram with both euphemistic and faintly strong wording was placed in front of Wu Xiaoliang's desk.

Wu Xiaoliang smiled when he saw it, and said to himself: "Chairman Jiang, Chairman Jiang, I'm afraid I'm going to disappoint you again this time." ”
