Chapter 584: Ready to Fly
He Jinhan was also engaged in intelligence before. And being able to mix well under Lao Jiang and become the leader of the Whampoa students for a time is not something that ordinary smart people can do. You must know that when He Zhenhan was at his most beautiful, even Hu Zongnan, Chen Cheng and others had to let him, as for Dai Li...... At that time, a few people knew who was wearing this surname?
Therefore, as soon as He Yingqin spoke, He Jinhan knew what the idea of this "Granny He" was.
Although he has been away from the center for several years, He Jinhan still has channels to learn about the high-level information of the national government. Qin Wei, that is the most trusted person of Lao Jiang now, in terms of personal influence alone, this young man may be taller than He Yingqin and others. It's just that this man is also very smart, and although he has a high status, he never wants power; If others don't come to provoke him, he will never take the initiative to provoke others; All day long, he put on a posture of wholeheartedly thinking about Lao Jiang, and most importantly, this person does not pull relationships, and never takes the initiative to cultivate his own potential. Even the new 1st Army, which is rumored to be known as the "Qin Wei lineage", is just a joke in the eyes of many people...... Whose descendants are all other people's people? Army Commander Sun Liren didn't say anything, two of the three division commanders under him were Lao Jiang's people, and they were also confidants.
Therefore, Qin Wei is an "empty tube". It is completely dependent on the authority of Lao Jiang that we can have today's scenery. But in the same way, Qin Wei has the ability, and it is precisely because of these skills that Lao Jiang will have more faith in him.
In He Jinhan's opinion, Qin Wei was much smarter than himself.
Hugging Lao Jiang's thighs, he is not greedy for power, he does not seek power, and it is said that he is still dealing with the prince, and the means of dealing with him are extremely clever. did not directly make friends with the prince, but kept contributing to his "progress". Today, the prince is the director of the Yunnan Provincial Department of Civil Affairs and has done some business in Yunnan. In addition, he has accumulated popularity in the previous tenure of the Commissioner of Independent Corruption. Now the name of the prince is stronger than that of the old Jiang in Yunnan. It is reported that Lao Jiang is also extremely happy about this, although he still refuses to give the prince much good face, but he is extremely happy in private......
Of course, this has little to do with He Jinhan. At least for now. But He Jinhan knew that the task He Yingqin gave him was actually to reply to his previous "request", and the meaning was also expressed very clearly: if you want Lao Jiang to change his previous decision and let him go, then go to Qin Wei...... Presently. Only Qin Wei is likely to help him, and if Qin Wei is really willing to help him say a few good words, Lao Jiang will not be able to sell this face.
But why do you want to pull Stilwell, a foreign devil?
He Jinhan was very puzzled by this. However, this did not prevent him from trying to fool Stilwell into going to Guilin. It's really not a problem for him. However, when he and Stilwell arrived in Guilin, something went wrong. Because Qin Wei was on vacation, he went fishing on the Li River......
……
"Vacation? This time. A theater commander is still on vacation? ”
After listening to Stilwell's answer from Wu Shi, who had come to receive him. Countless disbelief suddenly piled up on his face. and anger...... For the war situation in Southeast Asia, he went from Kunming to Chongqing, and from Chongqing to Guilin, but now the main owner went fishing leisurely. How can this make him embarrassed?
"General Stilwell, the Battle of Canton is coming to an end, with the massive withdrawal of Japanese troops from western Guangdong. We have de facto won the entire battle and recovered most of the territory of Canton. Deputy Commander Qin spent a lot of effort for this battle, so after the battle situation was settled. And he rested. I guess that's not a big deal, right? Wu Shi was a little dissatisfied with Stilwell's attitude, but he still gave an explanation.
"But I'm looking for him!" Stilwell exclaimed, "I'm looking for him for something, something very important." So, General Wu, I want you to bring General Qin immediately, I want to see him! ”
"......" Wu Shi didn't speak, just looked at Stilwell in a daze, his expression was a little surprised and a little puzzled.
"General Wu!?" Stilwell was not very comfortable, and frowned and screamed again.
"That...... General Stilwell, if you want to see Chief Qin, you'd better find it yourself. Wu Shi's face was pale, "Of course, if you feel that you are not familiar with life, I can send someone to take you there." But let Chief Qin come to see you...... It's not okay. ”
"For what?" Stilwell asked dissatisfied.
"Because you are only a lieutenant general, and Chief Qin is a first-class general of our Republic of China, according to the principle of equal military ranks prevailing in the world, Chief Qin's military rank is equivalent to a four-star general of your country...... Therefore, you are not qualified to let Chief Qin come to see you! Wu Shi Zhengse said, "And I also believe that among the soldiers of your country, there is no one who has the qualifications to let Chief Qin take the initiative to meet him!" ”
“……”
******************************************************
"Is it too early to launch an attack on Burma at this time?"
Manila, Philippines.
Seishiro Sakagaki looked at the freshly baked Ji Lu book in front of him, and it took a long time to resist the urge to beat people...... He had already received the news that his friend Ishihara Wanji was so angry that Hideki Tojo was admitted to the hospital. When he first heard the news, he almost thought about flying back to Tokyo and slashing the senior soldier with a knife. Because he knew that this was simply Hideki Tojo's revenge, revenge for Ishihara's disrespect over the years. That's right, Ishihara Wanji did not do it right at the beginning, Tojo Hideki did not take the initiative to provoke him, but because he was not used to it, because he was arrogant, he felt that he had the ability but was not used as he should be, Tojo Hideki did not have much ability but could rise to prominence, so Ishihara Wanji was extremely sarcastic about Tojo Hideki in his words...... But it's wartime. Knowing that Ishihara Waner is the most lacking strategic talent in Japan at present, but he crossed the river and demolished the bridge at this time, what is this?
It's a pity that he is in Nanyang, although Seishiro Sakagaki has a heart, he still has to temporarily put aside his concern for his friends and focus on the current war, and at the same time reluctantly accept the latest instructions from Tokyo. However, what he didn't expect was that in Tokyo, there was Hideki Tojo crossing the river and demolishing the bridge that angered Ishihara Waner, and in Manila, there was also Terauchi Shouichi, a salted fish who turned over, to find him trouble:
"According to the plan agreed upon by our base camp, we should wait for the end of the Malayan campaign first. and then conquered Singapore and all of Indonesia before attacking Burma......"
"The British are trying to recruit more troops from India." Terauchi Shouichi has long since lost his previous cautious appearance at this time, as the commander-in-chief of the Southern Army, the Earl of the Great Japanese Empire, leading the troops to create one victorious general after another, at this time he can be described as full of spirit: "And I also got information from the imperial intelligence department that the Americans are also trying to drag the Chinese into Burma." They sent the chief of staff of the so-called Pan-Western Pacific Theater of Operations. Stilwell had also arrived in Chongqing and was lobbying Chiang Kai-shek...... Sakagaki-kun, you should understand that the Chinese are very cunning. Although we have the means to do so, it is still unknown what kind of tactics our opponents will use this time. So. We can only enter Burma as soon as possible, because only then will we have a better chance of winning. ”
"The Chinese have an old saying, 'The lion fights the rabbit, and he will do his best'!" Seishiro Sakagaki looked at Shouichi Terauchi with a sneer. "Since you know the means of the Chinese, Terauchi-kun. We should be more cautious. Only by concentrating all the main forces of the Southern Army. in order to ensure our victory in a greater probability. ”
"The Chinese have countless human resources." "Since the Americans want them to fight, they will definitely provide enough equipment and supplies." If we fail to take Burma at the first time and block the last line of communication for the Chinese, we will face not only countless enemies, but countless enemies equipped with American-style weapons. The First World War in Shanxi. The fact that the Chinese army, with the equipment obtained from the Soviets, made Yoshio Shinozuka almost defenseless. ”
"At the end of the day, you just think the situation is very favorable, so you can't wait to launch an attack on Burma. It is better to defeat the Chinese who can be attacked. And then conquer Yunnan...... Is it? Seishiro Sakagaki shouted.
"Sakagaki-kun, it's just a very normal thought." Terauchi Shouichi's expression was very serious, "I know what you want to say, it's nothing more than to say that I finally won a few battles, and I'm starting to be arrogant again." But the current situation is really very favorable for us, and it even reminds me of the situation when I was in North China. At that time Chinese was the same as it is now in the UK...... At the beginning, if you were able to sweep away more than 30 divisions of the enemy with half a division, then our troops today are stronger than the British, and our combat effectiveness is far superior to theirs, so why don't you attack? Could it be that the famous 'Sakagaki no Guts' has become smaller after so many years of conquest? ”
"You don't have to provoke me." Seishiro Sakagaki snorted coldly, "I will never agree with you to be so aggressive!" seems to be invincible, but in fact it adds more burden to himself, which is harmful to the entire battle situation. It's enough to do this kind of thing once, and if we do it a second time, we can only be called stupid! ”
"A fool is a fool. As long as you can keep winning one victory after another for the empire, what if you are stupid? "And the 'Burma Front' has also begun to be formed, and the base camp has agreed to appoint Kawabe Shozo as the commander-in-chief, under the jurisdiction of the 15th, 21st, 28th, and 33rd armies, as well as the 2nd and 49th divisions, as well as the 5th Flying Division and the newly formed Guards Flying Group...... Sakagaki-kun, we're ready to shoot now! ”
"Ready to fly?" Seishiro Sakagaki's expression was much more lonely. He knew that Shouchi Terauchi would not change his mind, and he was afraid that he would not dare to change his mind. Because this has not only the will of the base camp, but also the will of the division commanders and even ordinary soldiers below, the ability of Shouichi Terauchi can't suppress so many people. Moreover, the strength of the four armies and two divisions, which exceeded almost two-thirds of the strength of the Southern Army, also shows the importance that the base camp and Terauchi Shouichi attached to the First World War in Burma. You must know that on the Chinese battlefield, they directly suppressed many theaters of war in China with the 11th Army in Wuhan alone, with nearly one million troops. Against Myanmar, and even the Chinese after that, it should be a victory. However, years of recognition of Ishihara's ability made him feel uneasy...... Chinese, should have the strength to resist such a powerful attack, or not? Yes? No? …… (To be continued......)
