"Almost." Shouichi Terauchi finally interrupted the argument between the two men.

"Okabe-kun, Matsui-kun said that there is no problem, now the empire is indeed in danger, and all this is because of our mistake in strategy after the Lugou Bridge incident. But now that the war has begun, we can't lose confidence because of a mistake, General Matsui, do you understand what I'm saying? ”

"Hay." After Matsui Ishine finished speaking, he was stunned, general? What's going on? It is important to know that the current Matsui Ishine has been retired.

The most glorious thing to do every day is to accompany a group of children who have not yet grown up, and after they have finished school, they are given simple military training.

"Okabe Army, prepare a telegram for me, the content is this, in view of Matsui Ishine's excellent realization in the Jingpu Road suit, he is reappointed as a major general of the empire, and the order is effective immediately." Shouichi Terauchi said unequivocally.

"General, it's not good for the old men who offended the military department because of me." Matsui Ishine didn't want to affect the empire's perception of Terauchi Shouichi because of himself.

However, Okabe has no objections, and in his opinion, the talent displayed by Matsui Ishone can at least show that he is a good master tactician. There really doesn't make any sense to let him be in the Empire.

After speaking, Shouichi Terauchi seemed to have exhausted his last strength, rubbed his somewhat red eyes, lit a cigar, and lay down on his chair tiredly, but this was a confidential staff officer who came over with a telegram.

Okabe Naozo kept looking at the confidential staff officer, hoping to give Terauchi Shouichi a little time to rest.

But Shouichi Terauchi still saw it, "Let him in." Shouichi Terauchi's voice was very tired.

"Report to the general, the battle of Zou Cheng was lost, and the Shangang detachment retreated to Yanzhou."

"Anything else?" Shouichi Terauchi continued to ask. He felt like he wasn't doing anything well lately.

"The Isoya Division called that they had been stubbornly resisted by the Chinese troops in the process of reinforcement, and now they could not move an inch, and at the same time, the 24th Army of the Chinese army was attacking him, and he hoped that General Nakajima could help him hold back the Chinese troops.

From a military point of view, these two pieces of news have long been expected by Shouichi Terauchi, but they will come sooner or later.

However, the next news really scared Shou Terauchi one by one.

"The Chinese troops captured Yangzhen, and the troops of a division of the empire fell into a state of encirclement."

In the south of August and September, the weather is so hot that there is no wind in the air at all, and it seems that you can get out of the water when you twist your clothes.

Wuhan can be almost filled with people fleeing from all over the country, although these refugees have caused chaos in the city, rising prices and other negative factors.

However, most of the refugees were wealthy people, and the money they carried with them contributed to the rapid economic development of Wuhan.

Here you can see movies made by Americans, posters of British stars, perfumes of the French, tractors of the USSR, everything.

The dignitaries and nobles are still living a life of drunken dreams and death, and even Chiang Kai-shek himself has no way to deal with these people, and it is not impossible to fight corrupt officials.

However, the main contradiction of the country now is the resistance to Japan, as long as they contribute, Chiang Kai-shek cannot be ruthless, and self-examination cannot be completed overnight, so there are still many officials who regard the government's so-called honesty as a deaf ear.

Of course, there are still enthusiastic young people in this world, and countless students always go to the march with the workers to vigorously support the great cause of resistance against Japan.

As a golden waterway, the Yangtze River passes through here every day with countless materials, because there is a war ahead, and basically all the materials here are managed by the army.

The Ministry of Munitions assigned a large number of officers here, loaded with munitions from the Southwestern Special Zone, unloaded a large amount of supplies here, and then returned with the refugees.

A long line of freighters docked from Hankou, and to the surprise of the officials at the wharf, it turned out to be a major general of the Southwest Special Administrative Region.

When did the major general of the Southwest Special Administrative Region have such idle thoughts, He Jinhan told those officers that the affairs of the Southwest Special Administrative Region and the people of the Southwest Special Administrative Region should be taken care of as little as possible.

"Bullets, mortars, horse bandits are on the list, where to go?" Chen Yun's voice was very flat, but it was full of strength.

"Qingyun Commerce, there is our warehouse there. Can you give us the captured 38 covers, we don't have that many bullets. The middle-aged man wore a series of robes with a tall courtesy.

Chen Yun glanced at Lin Lijie, Lin Lijie nodded and said, "Director Chen, don't worry." ”

"Keep things confidential. Don't let the principal know, although he doesn't care, it doesn't mean that he doesn't feel disgusting. Chen Yun instructed.

"Don't worry. I'll do things, you can rest assured. Lin Lijie said respectfully.

"Then you go and organize." Chen Yun nodded and said. After Lin Lijie agreed, he took people to unload the ship.

Leaving Chen Yun and the middle-aged man to say, "Brother Chen Geng, you are always satisfied now." ”

"Lao Chen, I didn't say it, how about waiting for my brother to exterminate the devil's army and give you a knife?" Chen Geng said.

"No, I have a knife sent by Liao Lei here?" Chen Yun shook his head.

"Brother, although a knife is not necessarily a good knife, the mind is here, and we still need you to take care of it." Chen Geng continued to say to Chen Yun.

Chen Yun shook his head and pointed to the porters and merchant vendors who were looking at them not far away and said, "See? Among those people, at least two out of ten are military unification spies, at least one is from the Fuxing Society, and one is from our secret pile, and at least one of you Red Party, and I believe that there are also Japanese. Occasionally, if you do a small one, the chairman thinks that it is to assist the country to remember the old feelings, and if it is large-scale, it will violate party discipline and be unlucky. ”

"This is the last time I have ever seen it." Chen Yun smiled and shook hands with Chen Geng.

"We are all men who can fight wars here, and it is really not good to govern the country, if one day we defeat Lao Jiang, I will arrest you and the auxiliary country to help us govern the world." Chen Geng said to Chen Yun with a smile.

"Then let's wait until you kill the chairman, now your strength is not as good as the Southwest Special Economic Zone." After shaking hands, Chen Yun left.

Chen Geng these days, in Chongqing, Wuhan, successfully run all kinds of things, nothing more than to buy medicine and bullets, the weapons provided by the southwest are really good, but there is no strong production capacity, the mortar is not as good as a burning stick, the gun is a good thing, there are no bullets, and you can also fight bayonets.

Chen Geng's trip also had a purpose, that is, the central government hoped to open "Xinhua News" in Chongqing and Chengdu, but he didn't expect it to be very easy, and both sides were very happy, which made Chen Geng very incomprehensible. However, the newspapers of the Central News Agency are also sold in Shaanxi, Gansu and Ningxia, and often their newsboys just come out with the newspapers, and then ask party members to buy them and then destroy them, and there are not many of them that really reach the hands of the people.

Of course, one of the most important missions is to restore the underground party organization of the Red Party in the southwest. Especially in the Southwestern Special Zone, the underground organization of the Red Party is extremely sabotage.

At the time of the Long March, all the underground parties were basically sacrificed, and even if they did not sacrifice, they were slowly told by Liu Yuan to become good citizens of capitalist society, pointing out that they had little hope.

"In the Southwest Special Zone, Liu Yuan usually does not arrest our people, but his measures have made the development of our Red Party extremely unfavorable.

Let's go talk to the local people, join the Red Party, one day the revolution will win, we will allocate you land, but their people spat and said, Lao Tzu went to the city to work for three months, more than a year's land, what do I want to do so much.

Those landlords, don't look at the land, but their grain may not be able to sell at a good price. The first time he heard in the mouths of the common people that the value of land was not as high as the value of part-time jobs, Chen Geng was also confused for a long time.

He looked for a lot of people, but he didn't understand that the land was worthless, and without the expectation of land, it was very difficult for the Red Party to develop.

Even the most enthusiastic students in the past would not complain about social unfairness, nor would they ask to join the Red Party, and Chen Geng found that the Youth League secretaries of the Three Youth Leagues in the Southwest Special Administrative Region were more powerful than their old political commissars' propaganda skills.

As long as your own people speak to those students a few times, they are guaranteed to be reported. In particular, the Southwest Special Administrative Region actually asked for something called an ID card, which has been popular there for many years, making it difficult for the traveling underground party.

After getting the supplies ready, Chen Geng returned to the office of the Eighth Route Army, his old partner Director Zhou was waiting for him, and Chen Geng reported to him on the day's work, especially the development of the underground party in the Southwest Special Economic Zone.

Director Zhou (Prime Minister) was in a very unhappy mood, the situation here in Sichuan, the Party Central Committee was very clear, but it didn't realize that the characters were so difficult to do.

"What's going on with that group of young people out there? What did you bring them back for? Director Zhou looked at the group of young people standing outside suspiciously, Dong Biwu said that Chen Geng brought it back.

"You need to ask Comrade Li Kenong about this, when I left, Li Zhilong found me and said that I should take them away, and they will definitely not be able to return to work in the Southwest Special Economic Zone."

Li Zhilong quietly told him that these young people were their people, and some of these people had met him, and they hoped to contact the central government, but they were sent back before they could verify it.

"What did Li Zhilong say?" Zhou Enlai's mood became worse, and he didn't know how these young people were discovered. This makes the party's work very difficult.

"Many of them were students who followed them from Beijing to Southwest Associated University, but before that, they were already probationary party members. Later, because they were recommended by the professor, they took the civil service examination and successfully joined the government of the Southwest Special Administrative Region, but they were all found out in the unknown way. Chen Geng said suspiciously.

"They are indeed our people, Comrade Li Kenong mentioned it to me. The matter of our development organization in the southwest this time must have been leaked, and the reason why they agreed to our personality request was to lure the snake out of the hole and wipe out all of our people. Director Zhou's face became even more ugly.

"You call them, I have a question for them." Chen Geng saw that Director Zhou's face was not good-looking, and he was also a little worried, but he still didn't say anything.

The discipline of the organization told him that what should be said and what should not be said is not said.

When they saw Director Zhou, they were very excited, they didn't expect that they could see their Vice Chairman Zhou here. So people become a little timid.

"We are the ...... of the Communist Youth League"

"Little comrade, don't be nervous." Zhou Enlai's voice was very kind, "Your situation, Comrade Kenong told me something, but we don't know what you found out about it." ”

A young man named Wang Xin was selected among the young people, Wang Xin said, "Actually, they have not believed us, and their secret stake organization has found a lot of information in Beijing about our past membership in the Communist Youth League, and this time it was the Japanese who reminded us." Tell us that we are now under suspicion. Otherwise, there may be more leaks. Wang Xin said.

"The Japanese help us with something." Chen Geng asked puzzled.

"They want us to mess up the interior of the Southwestern Special Region, and their Japan is also very sad, and Japanese agents are shot almost every day." Wang Xin responded.

"Anything else?" Zhou Enlai continued to ask.

"Yes, there are people in the Southwest Special Administrative Region who are secretly protecting us, otherwise we might have leaked it sooner." Wang Xin looked puzzled.

Director Zhou didn't fully believe the young people in front of him, in his opinion, maybe they had already been assimilated, or even if they hadn't been assimilated, the failure of the latent cause meant that it was impossible for them to continue to work on the hidden front.

So he wouldn't leak out the agent hidden in the Southwest Special Zone, and in order to protect the agent, he even changed it to sun red, and Zhou Enlai didn't believe that Liu Yuan could find him.

"Can you tell me about your feelings in the southwest, or tell me about Liu Yuan?"
