Chapter 61: Confessing to each other

When Liu Yuan appeared in Chiang Kai-shek's office, all the staff in Chiang Kai-shek's office quietly left, giving the two of them a little private space.

Chiang Kai-shek greeted Liu Yuan and poured a cup of tea for Liu Yuan, and patted Liu Yuan's military uniform, "This battle is hard for you, sit down." Chiang Kai-shek pulled a stool for Liu Yuan.

Liu Yuan is not a person who does not know the way of advance and retreat, Chiang Kai-shek did this, although he did not say anything, but he was also showing favor to himself in disguise, telling himself that he was wrong, which was impossible to see in the original history.

Liu Yuan leaned heavily on the back of the chair, letting his body be intimate with the chair, and he found that he liked this feeling, down-to-earth, powerful, all of which proved that he was still alive.

It's nice to be alive, but what about those who die? Liu Yuan didn't dare to think about it, and he didn't want to think about it. Everyone in the world knows that the battle of Nanchang will determine the world, but who knows that in this battle, batches of outstanding soldiers of the third division will sleep underground forever.

The room seemed very dull, Liu Yuan felt very uncomfortable doing there, he seemed to see countless soldiers struggling before death, Liu Yuan had to light a cigarette and take two puffs suddenly before he calmed down.

"As a general, it is originally to kill to stop killing, sooner or later one day you will get used to it, show me the list of soldiers of your three divisions who died in battle." Chiang Kai-shek was not angry about Liu Yuan smoking in front of him, which showed that Liu Yuan still had his own teacher in his heart, so he would play a little trick.

Hearing Chiang Kai-shek's words, Liu Yuan's hands trembled terribly, and it was a folded report, which was densely filled with the names of soldiers.

Even after Chiang Kai-shek saw it, the corners of his eyes kept twitching, counting the temporarily incorporated troops, as well as Xue Yue's regiment, there were 13,546 people sacrificed, and there were only more than 2,900 soldiers left in the third division, including one colonel, an outstanding graduate of the first phase of Whampoa, Guan Linzheng, the commander of the third division and one regiment, and there was no corpse.

The other Xiang Deng Boyu, Zhang Difeng, and Cao Runqun were already battalion and company commanders, but they all fell on the battlefield forever.

After Chiang Kai-shek saw all this, he had to shake his head and say, "This time the losses of the three divisions are indeed a bit too great, although the strategic goal has been achieved, but because some people are not in good hands, there have been so many casualties, and it is really a general who is incompetent and tired to death the three armies." ”

After listening to Liu Yuan's nagging for a long time, Liu Yuan didn't say a word, until Chiang Kai-shek said, when some people, Liu Yuan's not tall figure actually exuded a murderous aura, Chiang Kai-shek also rolled and crawled on the battlefield, how could he not know the strong murderous aura just now.

"Liao Bin fled on the battlefield and violated military orders, and the military court will sentence him to death. Sun Yuanliang did not know the enemy's situation, and temporarily retreated with his troops, although the troops, but also excusable, I have sent him to study abroad. As for Wang Boling, although he is an old man in the party-state, he has made such a big mistake and cannot be in the army, so I am ready to let him take care of logistics. Chiang Kai-shek was afraid that he would do something foolish at this juncture, so he quickly stated his decision.

"The student is not a person who does not know how to advance and retreat, the student knows that you are not in a very good situation now, CP has a lot of opinions about you, some people on the left side of the party are also against you, Wang Jingwei has also returned to China, you need the support of these old people, but the student wants to advise you, the foundation is not solid, even if the house is high, it will collapse because he has no load-bearing capacity, you rely on people like Wang Boling, after all, there is no use. The student said here, there was nothing to do with the shares, and the blood and that one were retired. ”

Chiang Kai-shek was very dissatisfied with the handling of these sinners who caused the Third Division to suffer huge casualties, but he was helpless, after all, Chiang Kai-shek was in this position today, and he had many things to consider.

"Wait, what do you think of the current form?" Chiang Kai-shek knew that Liu Yuan was not in a very good mood, especially when he saw himself, although Chiang Kai-shek was very angry, but there was no way, if in the previous life, Chiang Kai-shek was still very confident in his command attainments, then in this life there is no idea at all, in his eyes, not only Liu Yuan's attainments in commanding battles, but also those staff officers of the three divisions, all of whom are excellent commanders, are not comparable to ordinary people.

Liu Yuan had already stood up, but did not leave, looked up at the military map of Chiang Kai-shek's office, thought for a while and said, "The Northern Expeditionary Army's successive battles, especially the two battles of Nanchang and Wuchang, consumed a lot of personnel and materials, and can no longer support us to carry out large-scale battles. Restore the local economy and implement our rule, so that we can turn Guangdong into a province and a land of several provinces, as long as you recuperate and recuperate for half a year, or even three months, it will be much smoother to continue the Northern Expeditionary Army.

Although the Northern Expeditionary Army has repeatedly encountered setbacks since the Northern Expedition, the Battle of Wuchang has no bright spots, and the Battle of Nanchang is also because of the hard work of the Third Division to surround Sun Chuanfang's troops, but no one can erase the achievements of the Northern Expeditionary Army along the way, that is, Wu Peifu and Sun Chuanfang's former great warlords have been defeated, and the military power of the revolutionary government is extremely prominent for a while.

At this time, there were more villains, and there were many people blowing the wind in Chiang Kai-shek's ears, saying that with the momentum of a big victory, he could decide the world in one battle, and even Chiang Kai-shek himself was confused.

But Liu Yuan's words have to say that they poured a basin of cold water on Chiang Kai-shek and made Chiang Kai-shek sober up, yes, although many places were defeated, they did not implement real rule, what is the difference between this and the Xinhai Revolution of the premier? Flag changes? With the lessons of the past, Chiang Kai-shek also had to be cautious.

Thinking of this, Chiang Kai-shek had to admire his student, it stands to reason that there are many Whampoa elites around him, but for what He Jinhan and others are overwhelmed, and then look at the elites around the Third Division, the performance in the Battle of Nanchang is really infinite, and it seems that he still has to reuse the soldiers of the Third Division.

Liu Yuan looked at Chiang Kai-shek lightly, he wanted to know where Chiang Kai-shek had gone, and whether he could still listen to others, if he had reached the point of closing his eyes and listening, then he would have to leave the Guangzhou Revolutionary Government, Liu Yuan clearly remembered that after the Nationalist Government took Nanchang in 1926, there was no major war, until the twenty-seventh year, Chiang Kai-shek held a butcher's knife high and slaughtered many CP party members who did not know how many people in Ludao, Wang Jingwei did not do these massacres, although to this day, Liu Yuan has a certain influence in the Nationalist Government, but the strength of those elders of the Nationalist Government is not something he can contend with.

Chiang Kai-shek was not as arrogant as Liu Yuan imagined, but nodded and said, "There are not many people who can still tell me the truth today, and many comrades in the party do not have much ability, and they still know the Tao and talk to people, don't they know the plight of the party?" I don't think so, but they are greedy for today's position, don't dare to do practical things, to be honest, we are the master and apprentice of the auxiliary country, it is not easy to get to today, if one day you are not satisfied with the teacher, the teacher does not blame you, but the teacher hopes that you will not betray the three ** righteousness, because you are the prime minister's believer. ”

Liu Yuan heard the meaning of Chiang Kai-shek's words, but his face was relaxed, this day was coming sooner or later, and it was not easy for Chiang Kai-shek to say this matter calmly.

"The principal is different from the students, the principal has to consider the whole party and the whole country, if the principal wants to do something to the CP one day, please allow the students to leave, the students don't want to participate in this matter, after all, many people in the CP are classmates and friends of the students." Liu Yuan told the truth.

Chiang Kai-shek looked at Liu Yuan with a hint of shock in his eyes, are you still unwilling to follow the teacher. However, Chiang Kai-shek thought about it, and it immediately became clear, although he did not support his purging of the party, but he did not oppose himself, if one day he encountered danger, could he not support himself? After all, he is the leader of the Whampoa Shaozhuang Department and his own student.

"I'm afraid that when the situation is chaotic, you and I will be helpless, and you and I will be unable to help it, and you will be able to hide there." Chiang Kai-shek asked rhetorically.

"The student is from Sichuan, and he is willing to take charge of a province for the principal and benefit the people." Liu Yuan replied without even thinking.

"Sichuan is poor, the warlords are chaotic, what can you do if you go to Sichuan, it's better to go to Hunan, Tang Shengzhi that guy has no ability, you go to Hunan to empty him or not, you go to Hunan to be the king, cultivate your own strength, if I get old that day, I can take over my class."

Liu Yuan was also very moved when he heard Chiang Kai-shek's words, not to mention that it was somewhat true that Chiang Kai-shek let himself take over his class, but it can be seen from the fact that he would rather offend the new warlords than give himself a rich place, Chiang Kai-shek had feelings for himself. But Liu Yuan still shook his head and said to Chiang Kai-shek, "Principal, be stubborn as a student, students don't want to talk about many things now, so students are here to talk to you, you give me Sichuan, ten years later, I will answer with practical actions, and in fifteen years, students may be able to wipe your buttocks." ”

Listening to Liu Yuan's words, Chiang Kai-shek burst out laughing, pointed at Liu Yuan and said, "You guy, you don't believe me so much, let alone fifteen years, even if it is twenty-five years, thirty-five years Lao Tzu will not be confused, and you don't need to wipe your ass, as for Sichuan, you can take it if you want, anyway, it is the world of your Liu family, and it doesn't matter if you give it to you, but remember that you are the Chinese Kuomintang, and you believe in the three ** righteousness." ”

After listening to Chiang Kai-shek's words, Liu Yuan understood the meaning of responsibility, sorted out his military uniform, and said very seriously, "Yes!" ”
