The war was about to start, and Tang Qiuli's conversation with the two giants of the Gui family would naturally not be unstable, and from the attitudes of Li Zongren and Bai Chongxi, they had not yet realized that the danger of the Japanese infiltration in Guangxi was undoubtedly a time bomb buried in Guangxi.

Although Li Bai and the others have been operating in Guangxi for many years, there are strong enemies outside and hidden dangers inside, and the situation in Guangxi will soon get out of control, and the Japanese will also establish a solid bridgehead in Southeast Asia, attacking the southwest and threatening Chongqing in the north, and attacking Southeast Asia in the south, and arguing with the traditional forces of Britain and the United States.

It's not that Li Bai and the two people don't have enough wisdom and skill, but they don't have Tang Shao's more than a few decades of experience, because of his own appearance, in history, many major events that should have happened did not happen at all or changed the direction, for example, the next plot of the Japanese, placed on the southeast coast and Liangguang, is the result of forced choice.

The reason is very simple, in northern China, Tang Qiuli's power is too strong, the Japanese have broken their wrists several times, all of which are the result of dislocation, and they have no courage to ask for hardships again and again, but the ambition to occupy China has never given up, and the news that Tang Qiuli was almost assassinated in Chongqing gave the Japanese top leadership a hope, and chose to start in southern China away from Tang Qiuli's sphere of influence.

The first choice of the object is Chairman Chiang in Chongqing, as for the local forces in the southern provinces, it is just a disaster of pond fish, the Japanese do this, but also to convey a goodwill signal to Tang Qiuli, do not mind with Tang Qiuli to divide China, the north and the south are divided, in the eyes of Emperor Hirohito and the Japanese high-level, this is a great favor, Japan sent troops, to help you Tang Qiuli kill the biggest political enemy Jiang Zhongzheng, you are not a good opponent in the north, right?

In China at that time, except for Tang Qiuli, a demonic traverser, no one could see through the mystery, and the layout of the Japanese, even if they said it, no one would believe it, after all, the southern region had not seen the war, and the Japanese did not show signs of large-scale military mobilization.

Therefore, Tang Qiuli's military layout is impossible to penetrate large-scale troops into the southern region, including Guangxi, and the current deployment can only be said to be a precautionary measure, otherwise, not only will it be confronted by local forces, but I am afraid that before the Japanese can be beaten, he will start a war first, and let the little devils pick up a bargain.

However, the Japanese mistook Tang Qiuli, thinking that he was an ambitious local warlord, and it was his nature to grab mountains and occupy territory, and Liu Tiehan's troops never made another move in the northeast region, which caused a lot of illusion to the Japanese, thinking that Tang Qiuli had taken the olive branch, but they didn't know that Tang Shao owed the Japanese a good impression at all, and he was not only very attentive to any opportunity to kill the Japanese, but also did not miss it.

These words, of course, will not be said to Li Zongren and Bai Chongxi, for the two giants of the Gui family, they have not yet realized the approaching danger, Tang Qiuli is also anxious, not that he has a good impression of Li Bai and the others, it is nothing more than that he does not want China's military strength to suffer losses at the hands of the Japanese without preparation, besides, it seems that Li Zongren has a good personal relationship.

Therefore, Tang Qiuli directly picked it out, understand what you think in your hearts, some small tricks and small tricks don't have to be brought to the table, it's useless, the lethality of these words is very great, at least, Tang Qiuli and the Gui family can't talk about friends, let alone allies, a few years ago, the Gui family brought the aftermath of the battle of Xuzhou, and had the intention of entering the Central Plains.

Li Zongren and Yan Xishan joined forces at the plenary meeting, intending to get involved in Shandong, Shanxi, Henan, and North China provinces, but they were simply contained by Tang Qiuli, Li Zongren and Yan Xishan's plan was in vain, and the Gui system occupied Xuzhou and established a bridgehead for the Central Plains.

Therefore, Li Zongren and Bai Chongxi don't have much of a good impression of Tang Qiuli, on the contrary, they still have a lot of jealousy and fear, let that local force face the behemoth of Tang Qiuli's group, can they put their minds at ease? And Vice Chairman Tang, who made the local princes jealous, suddenly appeared in Guangxi and faced a sudden attack, Li Bai and the others had no other ideas, that was, and the biggest worry was that Tang Qiuli would stretch out his hand to Guangxi.

After hesitating for a moment, Bai Chongxi said: "Vice Chairman Tang, there is such a dangerous thing in Guangxi, the vice chairman almost suffered an accident, I and Degong are very ashamed, after the review, there are many mistakes in the local government, and I want to thank the vice chairman, this time to save the day, and eliminate the potential bandit armed forces in Guangxi, it is the luck of the people of Guangxi, however, compared with the overall situation of local security in Guangxi, this is an emergency, similar things will never happen in the future, and I hope that the vice chairman will be Mingjian." ”

This is in line with the rules, Li Zongren, as the number one boss of the Gui faction, is unlikely to apologize to Tang Qiuli in person, not only a matter of face, but also involves the room for maneuver; if this young vice chairman of the NPC Standing Committee, who has never suffered losses, is a strong person, and sometimes, he does not even buy the face of Chairman Jiang, and it is very likely that he will seriously investigate this matter and find an excuse to send his descendants to Guangxi.

After all, in Guangxi, he almost lost his life, and he served as the commander of the whole team, and transferred his descendants to Guangxi troops, it seems that Li Bai and the others did not dare to oppose it openly, let alone find a defensible reason, and when Tang Qiuli's troops entered Guangxi, it became an established fact, and Li Bai and the two of them had been operating in Guangxi for many years, wouldn't they give up their hands, which was what Li Bai and the others were most worried about.

Tang Qiuli understood Li Zongren and Bai Chongxi's thoughts very clearly, I am afraid that the six main corps of the independent division have entered the area south of the Yangtze River in a big way, which has long aroused the worries of the powerful factions in various localities.

Tang Qiuli glanced at Bai Chongxi carefully, if there was a needle hidden in the cotton, he would not fail to hear the taste, and the words were level, no wonder Bai Chongxi was called "Little Zhuge ", Li and Bai have cooperated in Guangxi for many years, they can be called the best partners, and the art of cooperating with each other has reached the point of perfection.

Tang Qiuli's intentions were not to be entangled in the matter of his own attack, but he naturally didn't need to pay attention to Bai Chongxi's words, smiled slightly, and then said: "Duke De, General Bai, Tang was attacked in northeast Guangxi, I fully believe that it has nothing to do with the two of them, there must be hidden secrets, and the two of them have been running Guangxi for many years and have a good reputation, and it is not easy for others to intervene in it, and the same is true for independent divisions." ”

Li Zongren and Bai Chongxi breathed a sigh of relief at the same time, and their hanging hearts finally fell into their stomachs, since the most worried thing would not happen, everything else was a small matter, and even took a few heads from the local strength in northeast Guizhou to eliminate the impact of this matter in Tang Qiuli's heart, and did not hesitate, as long as Tang Qiuli's soldiers did not enter Guangxi, it was worth paying a big price.

Tang Qiuli said this in order to dispel the fear of Li Bai and the others, and now, when the goal is achieved, he will continue to remind them, "Duke De, General Lingge, I don't know who is behind this matter, who do you think it is or what kind of force do you think it is, and suddenly such a large force of armed forces suddenly appeared and attacked me, it can't be a coincidence, right?" ”

Li Zongren and Bai Chongxi's hearts that they had just put down, they had to mention it, feelings, this strong vice chairman of the Tang Dynasty, has not let go of this matter, for this matter, Bai Chongxi asked the Gui officers who participated in the war, and he has already made a rough judgment, plus after discussing with Li Zongren, a veteran politician of the Gui family, the ins and outs of the matter have also been deduced, and it is not far from the truth.

This time it was Li Zongren who spoke, "Vice Chairman Tang, according to the report of our officers, this is a group of bandits gathered together, thinking that your team is a caravan escorting huge treasures, so they made a temporary decision, of course, some important local government officials in northeast Guizhou are also involved, in this regard, my neighbor Ge and I attach great importance to this, and have sent important officials from the provincial government to thoroughly investigate, and all those involved in the attack on the vice chairman will be severely punished, and the results of the handling will be reported to Vice Chairman Tang." ”

is worthy of being the No. 1 boss of the Gui family, what Li Zongren and Bai Chongxi are most worried about is that it is revealed that the Japanese are planning to participate in this matter, giving Tang Qiuli an excuse to send troops into Guangxi, and it is an irrefutable excuse, deliberately avoiding this fact, the door is tightly blocked, and Tang Qiuli is not left with any opportunity to take advantage of.

The two sides are not on the same line, and the focus of their demands is also different, so there is no reason for this conversation to go on, and moreover, Li Bai and the others are extremely vigilant against Tang Qiuli, and they have been promised by Tang Qiuli that the troops of the North China Independent Division will not enter Guangxi, the goal has been achieved, and there is no need to talk about it further.

Tang Qiuli sighed in his heart, it is not ordinary difficult to discuss major matters with these local powerful factions, his eyes are only staring at his own one-third of an acre of land, holding it in his arms, for fear that others will snatch it, he has already clicked it explicit enough, these two people's heads are not open, and they deliberately avoid key issues, is it not broad-minded enough, or is it habitual, do you have to force yourself to take strong medicine?

Tang Qiuli's face turned cold, his tone turned stern, and he said coldly: "Duke De and General Bai, the two catastrophes are coming, Guangxi is about to be lost, are you still confused by the authorities?" Where will the people of Guangxi be placed? ”
