Chapter 188: Do You Want Yunnan Station?
Qin Wei didn't know that one of his orders would actually make Wang Shuming think crookedly. However, it is understandable to think about some of the bad work styles in the Kuomintang army. There were not many paratroopers in the first place, and after bringing the enemy commander out of the enemy's heartland, there must have been only a few people left. If the people of the 141st Division really had any crooked thoughts, they would definitely not be able to stop it. And most importantly, paratrooper combat was still new at this time, and no one had even really believed in the capabilities of paratroopers before...... Even Chiang Kai-shek, Zhou Zhirou and others, who insisted on this operation, only saw the benefits brought by capturing Okamura Ningji alive and thought about gambling. Anyway, Okamura Ninji has been surrounded, and Nishio Shouzo's rescue is not effective, and a delay for a while is nothing. Therefore, if the people of the 141st Division really want to grab the credit, they only need to kill those paratroopers and bury them, and then say to the outside that they were captured alive Okamura Ningji, and no one can say anything. Because in the chaos of the battlefield, no one can find evidence. Even if Okamura Ninji stepped forward to complain about those paratroopers, it would be useless, because no one would trust the commander of an enemy army. Moreover, the 141st Division is still from the 32nd Army under Yan Xishan, and it is under the command of his confidant Shang Zhen, so even if Lao Jiang knows what is going on, he will not complain about a few paratroopers. He can't just mess with Yan Xishan for a few little soldiers, right? Yan Lao Xi'er is the commander of the second war zone, and he still needs the support of others.
However, Qin Wei really didn't think of this. He simply wanted the paratroopers to recuperate and then return to Chongqing for a new mission: to train new paratroopers. After all, the paratroopers will be an extremely powerful branch of the army in the future, with huge advantages that other branches of the army do not have. Once it becomes bigger, it will inevitably play a very important role in the future war of resistance.
However, Wang Shuming's "reminder" really startled him. After thinking for a moment, he quickly hung up a phone to Chiang Kai-shek's office. Then he said what he was worried about. As a result, Chiang Kai-shek reprimanded him, blaming him for his random speculation and sabotaging the situation of sincere unity between the party and the state, and warned him not to do so in the future. But after the training, Lao Jiang immediately sent a telegram to the front line, asking Xue Yue to protect those paratroopers, and changed Qin Wei's order to his own, ordering Xue Yue to take those paratroopers back to Nanchang as soon as he found them. Sent back to Chongqing by the Air Force. Of course, Lao Jiang didn't forget to ask the paratroopers to bring Okamura Ningji with him...... Unlike Qin Wei, he regarded Okamura Ningji as much more important than those paratroopers.
************************
"What did you say?"
Two days passed. Xue Yue, Luo Zhuoying and others in Nanchang are still sweeping away the remnants of the enemy...... Because of the loss of command, the Japanese troops in the encirclement were completely desperate, and the level of combat effectiveness plummeted. It is only a matter of time before it is completely destroyed. In this Battle of Nanchang, the Nationalist Army captured the commander of the Japanese 11th Army, Okamura Ninji. The commander of the 106th Division, two lieutenant generals, Ryotaro Nakai. The killing of a large number of generals, including Lieutenant General Yahei Saito, commander of the 101st Division, and Major General Sadaichi Yoshimoto, chief of staff of the 11th Group Army, can be said to be a great shock. In particular, the 6th Division was basically wiped out in the battle, forcing its division commander Shiro Inaba to cut himself, so that this "beast division" who had invaded China many times and committed heinous bloody crimes in Nanjing City disappeared from the Japanese army. It made all Chinese breathe a bad breath.
In the past two days, Lieutenant-General Chiang Thi, chairman of the Military Commission, has frequently appeared in front of the public to receive the cheers of the people. And listening to the meaning of the chairman's many speeches, the Japanese are actually not so terrible, and the day of the counteroffensive seems to be coming soon......
But in such a good situation. There's always something discordant. For example, Qin Wei was "forced" to receive someone he didn't really want to meet.
"I said, if you can help and let the military commander get Okamura Ningji over, I owe you a big favor."
Dai Li's face didn't have any special expression, he still had such a righteous and awe-inspiring appearance, but occasionally when he swept his gaze over Zhou Tian and Xu Yuanju who were standing behind Qin Wei, he was slightly embarrassed.
"Okamura Ningji is a big fish, and Chairman Jiang is afraid that he has plans to surrender." Qin Wei pondered for a moment, Dai Li hadn't been to his door for a long time, and the two seemed to be drifting apart...... Of course, this is also to be expected. They didn't have much friendship in the first place, and the previous enthusiasm was actually just taking what they needed. But he didn't expect that as soon as he heard about Okamura Ningji's arrest, Dai Li would come to him. What does this have to do with him?
"Surrender also depends on everyone's means." The corners of Dai Li's mouth curled slightly, "Moreover, even if you surrender, you have to ask Okamura Ninji what information he has in his hand, right?" Who can be more experienced in this area than our military commanders? ”
"In that case, why are you still looking for me? Lao Jiang will definitely hand over people to you. Qin Wei said with a smile.
"Your status is indeed different now, and I just heard that the chairman of the committee has just issued a letter of appointment appointing you as deputy commander of the Air Force." Dai Li leaned back on the sofa, "But even if you are not what you used to be, you don't really have much strength. …… The commander is also your friend, and it is better to have one more friend than one more enemy. ”
"That's not right." Qin Wei said with a smile: "I am the deputy director of the design committee of the military command!" So, the military commander is not my friend. That's where I work. At least on the surface. ”
"So, you still recognize your identity as a military commander?" Dai Lisa smiled.
"Recognize! How do you not recognize it? Qin Wei said with a smile: "This identity is much more popular than the deputy commander of the Air Force!" By the way, just the deputy director of a design committee...... Kind of inferior, right? ”
"Sun?" Dai Li frowned slightly.
"It's bad." Qin Wei explained.
"So what do you want to do? Governor? Dai Lian asked rhetorically.
"One day if you don't do it, I may have this idea, but if you think about the group of cows, ghosts, snakes and gods under your command, I'm afraid this idea will only be an idea, and it is unlikely to become a reality." Qin Wei replied.
"So what do you want to do? As long as you open your mouth, I will mention it to the chairman. Dai Li picked up the teacup in front of him and took it all over.
"Director of General Affairs!"
"Poof......
A sip of tea went straight to Qin Wei. However, Qin Wei was obviously on guard, and jumped to the side all of a sudden.
"You're so mad at me?" Dai Li's strength was easy to relieve, and he looked at Qin Wei crying and laughing, "Isn't it just drunk?" If you really want him to come back as an adjutant, I'll give it back to you. Wouldn't it be so that you, a lieutenant general, would deign to be our military commander as a steward? ”
"I'm kidding." Qin Wei smiled and sat down again, "But you didn't say hello to me, so you transferred the person I used the most easily, and it was really too shameless to give me face." ”
"Did you give me face? Mao Wanli almost treated you as his father, but what happened? The grievances can't be slowed down now. Dai Li retorted.
"That's when he did something wrong." Qin Wei said: "Moreover, without my nest, doesn't he have a better future?" I didn't hurt him again. ”
"Okay, it's my fault," Dai Lisa said, holding up his hands, "don't go around me about these things." Say, can it help or not? And at what cost? ”
"It's okay to help, but you also know your Chairman Jiang's attitude towards me, and I don't dare to guarantee success." Qin Weidao.
"As long as you are willing to help, even if I owe you a favor." Dai Li said.
"Forget about favors, those things are not interesting. I can help you, but I have two conditions. Qin Wei raised two fingers.
"Say."
"First, Chairman Chiang's meaning, nine times out of ten, he wants to persuade Okamura Ningji, and I estimate that the probability of his success should be two to three percent...... I don't care about that. But I want you to assure you that no matter whether he succeeds or not, after the victory of the Anti-Japanese War, there can be no more Okamura Ningji who can still breathe in this world. As soon as the Japanese announce their surrender, I want him to die! Qin Wei's face suddenly turned cold.
"This ...... Wouldn't it be too much? If he surrenders......" Dai Lia was a little embarrassed. It's easy to kill the enemy, but you can kill a general...... If it is an ordinary person, it is easy to say, but it is obvious that Lao Jiang wants to make Okamura Ningji a "specimen", such a person, if he is killed as soon as the Anti-Japanese War is won, he will definitely lose face with Lao Jiang......
"If you don't say yes, forget it." Qin Weidao.
"Okay, kill it, I promise you." It's a big deal. It's just that the old man must not know that the Tao is the hand of the military commander. However, who knows how long it will take to win the Anti-Japanese War, and can always think of a suitable way. Maybe you won't have to care about that promise then. Dai Li thought about it and reluctantly agreed to this condition.
"You should be a little more simply! Isn't he just a devil? And also the aggressor. No matter whether he surrenders or not, and what he will do after surrendering, it cannot cover up the crimes he has done to our country and our people. So, kill and kill, there's nothing to be embarrassed about. Qin Wei said.
"What's your second condition?" Dai Li was reluctant to discuss these issues with Qin Wei, and then asked.
"Second, I want you to withdraw from the drunkenness!" Qin Weidao.
"Huh?"
"What's going on?"
At this moment, not only Dai Li was surprised, but even Zhou Tian and Xu Yuanju, who had been serving as the background, also looked at them in surprise. Others don't know what to do, but they are very clear about the relationship between the Bai Mansion and Shen Zui. Although Shen Zui has not come to the Bai Mansion since he returned to Chongqing, this time has not been long after all, and he has just taken over the general affairs office, so there must be a buffer time. What's more, although Shen Zui has not yet arrived, the ceremony has already arrived. Many of the good things on the military command's side were sent to the White Mansion by Shen Drunk, not to mention anything else, just antique calligraphy and paintings are not young or old.
"Don't be surprised! I told you to withdraw from Shen Drunk, but I didn't mean that you should just beat him down...... I mean, Yunnan Station, you hand it over to him. Qin Wei said again.
"Huh?" Dai Li was taken aback, "You want Yunnan Station?" (To be continued......)
