Chapter 588: Going South to Chongqing (Asking for Subscriptions, Monthly Tickets, and Various!! ）

On July 2, Chen Feng telegraphed Stalin and decided that he would visit the Soviet Union in three days, and asked the Soviet Union to open part of the airport along the route from Siberia to Moscow. Soon Stalin replied to Chen Feng and agreed to open 36 military airfields along the route, but he was fooled and hoped that Chen Feng would control the number of escort fighters to less than 30.

However, before Zhou, Chen Feng still had one more thing to solve, otherwise he would not be at ease even if he visited abroad, that is, the handling of the defense area in the First War Zone. Due to the sudden airborne landing of Chen Feng's subordinates, it directly led to the failure of Lao Jiang's plan to replace the soldiers with water. More importantly, in the process of going south to Henan this time, Chen Feng's unit not only directly used force to seize the weapons and equipment of a regiment of the 40th Army, but also directly annexed this regiment, and only released more than 40 officers afterwards.

In addition, in the course of the Zhengzhou Campaign, although Chen Feng's headquarters said that they had kept Zhengzhou City, they annexed the 2nd Regiment of the 196th Division, from the regiment commander to the soldiers, and the commander of the 196th Division ran to Jiang Dingwen to cry, suing Chen Feng for his situation, and asking the theater headquarters to call the shots for him.

This made Lao Jiang extremely angry, especially after the end of the battle, Chen Feng's troops did not immediately withdraw to southern Hebei, but stayed in Zhengzhou and did not move, which made Lao Jiang feel more and more hateful. Is this completely a land grab, if you have the ability, you can grab it with the Japanese, and what kind of hero is it to grab it with your own people.

Of course, at this time, Lao Jiang didn't want Chen Feng's troops to fight south, and now most of Henan was already the territory of the Japanese. He naively thought that replacing the army with water could stop the footsteps of the Japanese army moving south, which was really a joke.

To be honest, the current Chen Feng has no interest in the territory of Henan at all, and his main goal now is to wait for the outbreak of the Pacific War, and then go all out to eliminate the Kwantung Army and take the entire Northeast. Henan is just a chicken rib for him, and it is a pity to abandon it if it is tasteless.

Therefore, before visiting the Soviet Union, this matter must be resolved, if this matter is not concluded, it is likely to cause some unnecessary trouble, after all, Lao Jiang's heart has not been very big. But. To solve this matter, we must talk to Lao Jiang personally. As for those wine bags and rice bags in the First War Zone, not to mention whether they can call the shots, thinking of those bastards, Chen Feng is not even interested in meeting.

Chongqing. Zeng Jiayan official residence.

Just finished a day's meeting, Lao Jiang leaned on the bamboo chair and closed his eyes to recuperate. He was too tired during this time. There doesn't seem to be a single good thing going on across the country.

First, the Japanese army attacked Henan. caused the army of more than 100,000 to fall apart, and then another lieutenant general surrendered to the enemy, but Chen Feng's department suddenly jumped out to grab the territory at this time. Not only did he surrender the weapons of his own troops, but he also directly incorporated his own two regiments. Although it is nothing to say that two miscellaneous groups are nothing, the impact of this incident is extremely bad.

But he has no way to deal with the young man in the north, although he has installed a lot of people in Saibei now, but according to Kang Ze's report, their power has only penetrated into the government level, and the army has only bought some insignificant grassroots officers, and there is no influence at all. Whether it is politically or militarily, it is not enough to make Chen Feng feel scruples, and more importantly, Chen Feng's department is developing extremely rapidly, even he himself does not know how many troops there are in the Eighth War Zone, and it is certain that it will not be less than one million.

Such a large force is not subject to its own control, which is indeed a headache. Chen Feng is different from Yan Xishan, Feng Yuxiang, Liu Xiang, He Jian and others, even the Northeast Army, which is known as the strongest warlord army, was only more than 300,000 regular troops at its peak, and it could not compete with the Central Army at all.

But Chen Feng is different, this person has the ability to be ambitious and more courageous, not to mention the ability, he can raise such a huge army in just a few years, and the ability of such a person is not comparable to ordinary people. Chen Feng is a very ambitious person, using various means to expand his territory to Suiyuan, Chahar, Shanxi, Shaanxi, Hebei, Rehe and other provinces in just a few years, and now he has extended his tentacles to Shandong and Henan.

What worries Lao Jiang the most is that Chen Feng is extremely courageous, and courage is very important for a hero. It's like Yan Xishan, He Jian and even Zhang Xiaoliu, are they capable? Yes, but these people do not have the courage to reach the top, so they can only be the overlord of a province, but they cannot be the king of a country, because they lack enough courage.

But Chen Feng can, he started as a security regiment, dared to compete with the Japanese army's wings, brigades and even divisional and regimental armies with a weak force, and dared to compete with the two major powers of the Soviet Union and Japan at the same time.

It has been more than ten days since the Henan Campaign, but Lao Jiang has been thinking about how to deal with the relationship with Chen Feng's subordinates, this fight cannot be fought, and it may not be able to fight, and the order is even more vain, Lao Jiang feels that he and Chen Feng are like a wolf and a hedgehog, and it is difficult to deal with it.

Just when Lao Jiang was thinking nonsense, Wang Shihe walked in in small steps, came to Lao Jiang and whispered, "Principal! ”

Lao Jiang opened his eyes lightly and looked at it: "It's Shihe, what's the matter?" ”

"Headmaster, I just received a telegram from Chief Chen, please take a look!" Wang Shihe said.

"It's a rhetorical telegram, isn't he inspecting military affairs in Changsha, and this time he is preparing to revoke the number of that unit?" Lao Jiang said lightly.

"Headmaster, it's not a telegram from Chief Chen Cheng, it's a telegram from General Chen Feng, the commander of the Eighth Theater of Operations!" Wang Shihe corrected.

"Chen Feng, his telegram?"

"Yes!" As he spoke, Wang Shihe handed a telegram to Lao Jiang.

After receiving the telegram, Lao Jiang raised his head and looked at it, and after a long while, he frowned and said: "What kind of medicine is this Chen selling in the gourd, and what is he going to do in Chongqing?" ”

Wang Shihe lowered his head and said: "Principal, Chen Feng is full of mysteries, he does things imaginatively, it is difficult to have a qualitative, this time he proposed to meet you in Chongqing, you should have something to do with Henan." ”

"This Chen Feng is very ambitious, he has always avoided me, he is an army general may be the general who has met the least with the party-state, every time he has a meeting, he refuses for various reasons, except for the last execution of Han Fuqu in Henan, he has not participated in any meeting, it should be the execution of Han Fuqu that made him feel the crisis, this time he actually took the initiative to come to Chongqing, no matter from which aspect I can't refuse, Shihe, you go to inform him, just say that I will personally meet him at the airport!" Lao Jiang instructed.

"Yes!"

On July 3, 1941, martial law was imposed near Chongqing Airport.

At about 11 o'clock, escorted by 12 Jian-6 fighters, Chen Feng's plane landed on the runway of Chongqing Airport. Along the window, Chen Feng had already seen Lao Jiang, who was like a star holding the moon not far away, and straightened out his clothes, Chen Feng said to Li Jianxu, the captain of the guard: "Let's go, don't let our chairman wait for a long time!" ”

Under Chen Feng's instructions, more than 30 special combat personnel slowly stepped off the plane, and Chen Feng was the one who walked behind.

It can be seen that Lao Jiang still attaches great importance to him, in addition to Lao Jiang himself, there are also the supreme wife Song Meiling, He Yingqin, Dai Li, etc., it can be said that more than half of the members of the national government are here, even Chen Feng himself feels a little flattered.

After the greetings, Lao Jiang invited Chen Feng to get into his car, an American-made Ford car. After getting into the car, more than ten people started the car and drove towards Lao Jiang's official residence in Zeng Jiayan.

Walking on the road, Chen Feng saw that the entire mountain city of Chongqing was still relatively prosperous, and even Guisui, which had developed very well, could not be compared with Chongqing. Thanks to the participation of the US Flying Tigers, the Nationalist Government's air force strength has been greatly strengthened, and the Japanese air force has not taken much advantage in several air battles, so the Japanese air force has hardly carried out air raids on Chongqing during this period, and the impression that Chongqing has been subjected to war is still relatively small.

However, Chen Feng also knew that starting from this year, the Japanese army would concentrate a large number of air forces to carry out a four-year wanton and indiscriminate bombardment of Chongqing, and therefore also brewed the bomb shelter tragedy, which was the three major tragedies of the Republic of China. However, Chen Feng is glad that the Chongqing air-raid shelter tragedy occurred on the afternoon of June 5, 1941, but now he has not heard the relevant news, and it should not have happened.

Thinking of this, Chen Feng was in a good mood, and the corners of his mouth involuntarily rose, and he could see that he was very proud.

"Solemn, what makes you so happy, tell me about it?" Lao Jiang asked with a smile.

"Commission, seeing that Chongqing is so prosperous and rarely can see the trauma of the war, I can't help but feel very good, and it makes the commissioner smile!" Chen Feng replied.

"It seems that Su Yan is quite satisfied with the mountain city of Chongqing, this is the Japanese have relaxed the bombing of Chongqing in the past two years, if Su Yan came here a year ago, I am afraid that all I will see is the ruins!" Lao Jiang sighed and said.

"In any case, at least it looks good now, which also shows that the war of resistance is developing in the direction we want!" Chen Feng said with a smile.

The two of them did not communicate with each other, but the car drove quickly towards Lao Jiang's official residence, and after about half an hour, the car finally drove into Lao Jiang's official residence and stopped in the middle of the courtyard. (To be continued......)
