Chapter 713 was inaugurated as Commander-in-Chief of Air Defense

At the plenary meeting of the Nanjing Military Committee, Tang Qiuli smashed a series of conspiracies against him, however, in his heart, because of the anger aroused by the Japanese after arriving in Nanjing, the anger aroused by the Japanese, and the ugliness of the officials of the Nationalist Government who were scheming behind him, he was extremely disgusted and accumulated in his heart, to the point that he could not be controlled.

I really want to make a big fuss about this, to give a wake-up call to these big men who can only fight in the nest, fight horizontal artillery everywhere, and have fat brains, and give a warning to Chairman Chiang, who is bent on getting rid of himself and appeasing the Japanese, but he can't, he can't say anything, including all the materials he already has in his hands, and he can't confide in half a word, and if a bomb is thrown out, it will be painful, but the consequences arising from this are not what he wants to see. The only ones who have benefited are the Japanese who have lost their hearts and the hearts of China.

Tang Qiuli forcibly suppressed the waves in his heart, and his eyes scanned the audience sharply, as if it were substance, penetrating the most hidden corners of everyone's heart, so that those who had ghosts in their hearts had palpitations in their hearts, including Chairman Jiang, all paid all their attention to him, and looked at what amazing words this young vice chairman had just now.

Among them, the most worried is Chairman Chiang, the Japanese special envoy Tanaka Hongichi, who has never seen anyone alive or dead, and has always been a piece of his heart; if he falls into the hands of political enemies and shakes out all the inside story, how can he, the leader of the Republic of China, call on the people and face the doubts of the people? Because of nervousness, Chairman Jiang's hand holding the water cup trembled slightly, and Yang Yongtai, who was sitting in the audience, saw that the old man was already a little confused, and was secretly anxious.

"Ladies and gentlemen, today's China, especially in North China, although the Japanese have repeatedly failed, but their ambition to destroy our China has never died, and the Kwantung Army is preparing its military strength to enter the pass and compete with our North China Independent Division for the important land of Pingjin and Tianjin, and restart the ambition of going south to occupy the rich land south of our Yangtze River," Speaking of this, Tang Qiuli deliberately paused to observe the reactions of the senior officers.

There are those who are stunned, there are those who gloat, that is, there is no sympathy and hatred of the enemy, but there are a few worried eyes, so that Tang Qiuli's heart feels a lot of warmth, all the reactions, Tang Qiuli has a full view, and suddenly the words turned, "Since the end of the Battle of Songhu, the Japanese defeated Hangzhou Bay, and there was no war in Jiangnan, so everyone felt that Jiangnan was far away from the war, and the Japanese bayonets were in the far north, so they could sing and dance and enjoy the peace and prosperity. Who is soberly aware that the prosperous land in the south of the Yangtze River, the best district in Nanjing, is about to face the sky-high war and the scourge of swords? As soon as the words fell, the aftermath lingered, and the huge conference room was as silent as death.

Sensational, what kind of conflict of interests and what deceit just now, all of them were left behind, and they were all stunned by Tang Qiuli's groundbreaking assertion, and it was unbelievable, was this Vice Chairman Tang pretending to make astonishing remarks and grandstanding, or did he have ulterior motives to show his foresight, but he couldn't help but believe his words, which one of the people present had fought more battles with the Japanese? How long have you been playing against the Japanese? No, not a single one.

If what Tang Qiuli said was true, if the Japanese wanted to make another move in the south, the first thing to bear the brunt of would be the Songhu area and Nanjing, which he regarded as the lifeblood and money bag, and this was where his fundamental interests lie, and the reason why he took out his family background to fight the Japanese was to maintain the foundation of his rule and the foundation of the country, and he was more anxious than anyone else to know the basis for this conclusion.

"Qiuli, you tell me in detail" Chairman Jiang stopped the various expressions of the senior officials with a gloomy gaze, and said eagerly, he had forgotten that the young man in front of him was the one he had tried his best to eradicate, "Bring the map," Tang Qiuli ordered succinctly, there were already two guard adjutants, unfolding a huge map of the Republic of China.

Tang Qiuli talked eloquently about the map, combined with the comparison of the national strength and military strength of China and Japan, the wars that have taken place in the past year, the important geographical location of the Songhu area and Nanjing in the Yangtze River Valley, the status in the minds of all the people, and the political significance. in order to destroy the will of our army and people to resist"

The words fell, the categorical assertions, the unquestionable basis, the high-level analysis, the thorough grasp of the current situation, the confident demeanor, and the iron-clad facts, like bombshells, exploded the blood of the government officials present, their eyes were full of stars, they were dizzy, and they did not react for a while, and there was only heavy breathing in the audience, but it became more and more dull and depressed.

Silence, death-like silence, the adults were all brought into the terrifying imagination by Tang Qiuli's words, the roaring Japanese fighters, overwhelming bombs, skyrocketing fireworks, ruins and rubble everywhere, perhaps, the first thing they thought of was their own mansion compound, the distribution of Nanjing's industry, that is a life's work, will be in the light of the bomb explosion fire, shivering from the heart, the misty and slightly helpless but expectant gaze, cast on the stage to see no heart fluctuations, the expression of indifferent Tang Qiuli, maybe, Only this person can help himself and avoid losses.

Those officials who actively wanted to bring down Tang Qiuli, and who had frequent contacts with the Japanese envoy Tanaka Hongichi, only thought about getting rid of Tang Qiuli, and never considered that the Japanese bomb would fall on their heads, and they felt a little remorse in their hearts, but it was because their own interests were about to be lost, and as for the safety of the millions of citizens in Nanjing, they did not think about it at all, and some people were even thinking about how to retreat and how to transfer the industry as much as possible.

Chairman Jiang was more frightened than anyone else, it was terrible, no matter how deep his prejudice and jealousy of Tang Qiuli was, but he believed that what Tang Qiuli said would really happen, and during the Second Battle of Songhu, the Japanese planes bombed the downtown area of Shanghai, and the Japanese wanted the whole of China, how could Nanjing escape the war and be alone?

Now, there must be a way to avoid such a thing as much as possible, although he was full of reluctance, he still set his eyes on Tang Qiuli, who was sitting calmly, perhaps, this young man who has become his elbow and armpit, there will be a way, Tang Qiuli is silent on the surface, but he is secretly happy in his heart, and the terrifying scene depicted for these big men finally frightened them, including Chairman Jiang, his goal was achieved.

The topic of the meeting was completely transferred in accordance with Tang Qiuli's will, and there was a fierce discussion around how to deal with the upcoming Japanese bombardment, and it was a fierce competition, all of them wanted to fight for the greatest interests for themselves, including the time and scale of the evacuation, they had to bargain, Tang Qiuli did not interject a word, he seemed very detached, and he disdained to look at the faces and ugliness of these big players, he knew that he was the one who came out in the end in the end.

Tang Qiuli added another title to his many titles, and he was appointed to the post of commander-in-chief of the Nanjing Air Defense Headquarters; according to the authorization of the Military Commission, the authority of the Air Defense General Headquarters is extremely great, and all government departments of the state government must obey the arrangements and can mobilize all the troops, police, military police, and intelligence units in Nanjing and the surrounding areas at any time to cooperate with the action.

In other words, Tang Qiuli's current post is equivalent to the commander of urban defense in wartime, and he can uniformly transfer all the military, manpower, and material resources in Nanjing and the surrounding areas, which is equivalent to holding all the power in Nanjing.

Tang Qiuli was naturally happy, Chen Guofu and Ye Xiufeng, director of the Central Bureau of Statistics, who attended the meeting, were full of bitterness, Chen Guofu had always regarded Tang Qiuli as the number one opponent, and even the entire Central Bureau of Unified Affairs was quick to get rid of Tang Qiuli, and now, falling under his hands, it is not at the mercy and making things difficult, it is very likely to find an excuse to kill a cadre of the Central Bureau and make the Central Bureau bleed.

Even if he strongly opposes it, there is no legitimate reason, but it will cause public anger, so he has to sigh unlucky, and give birth to the sigh of "thirty years in Hedong and thirty years in Hexi", Dai Li, who participated in the meeting, is in another mood, he himself and the Military Command Bureau, has always maintained a good personal relationship with Tang Qiuli, and in the process of Dai Li's rise, he has also received Tang Qiuli's points and favors many times, this time it is assigned to Tang Qiuli's command, without a little psychological barrier and estrangement.

Dai Li was happy, but he was thinking about another thing, he knew that Tang Qiuli had a bad relationship with the Central Unified Bureau, and it would not be too much to say that water and fire were incompatible, and he was thinking in his heart that he was very willing to take advantage of this rare good opportunity to give the Central Unified Bureau more maggots in front of Vice Chairman Tang, crack down on competitors, and borrow the hand of Vice Chairman Tang to make the Central Unified Bureau greatly decentralized.

Therefore, Dai Li was in high spirits, stepped in front of Tang Qiuli in one step, stood up and saluted, and said loudly: "Commander-in-Chief Tang, Dai Li, and all my colleagues in the Military Control Bureau, are ready to be dispatched by you, and they will not hesitate to go to the soup and fire," he was overjoyed, and his determination and attitude were too positive, Dai Li suddenly thought, what would Chairman Jiang think of himself?

Thinking of the old man's cold gaze, Dai Li shivered, and all his excitement was replaced by a cold sweat, peeking at it, Chairman Jiang's face was calm, but the cold light that flashed in his eyes was keenly captured by the shrewd Dai Li, and he was even more panicked in his heart, thinking about how to round this scene, so as to eliminate the old man's suspicions.
