Nothing was said all night.

After breakfast the next morning, Wu Ming stayed at home to coax his wife and several children to be happy, waiting for a call from the attendant's room to see where Chairman Jiang and his wife planned to visit today, and as a landlord, he would accompany him throughout the whole process.

As a result, at half past nine in the morning, Wu Ming was informed, and Chairman Jiang decided to return to Quzhou in the morning and no longer go to the Kumaling fluorite mining area for field investigations.

Wu Ming was surprised, and was still pondering Chiang Kai-shek's intention to leave Maoliangwu in a hurry, when a telegram from the Central Military Committee and the General Staff Headquarters came unexpectedly:

The officers and men of the Chairman's Guard Corps and the Special Service Corps and Guard Corps directly under the Central Military Commission hoped to conduct an actual combat confrontation exercise with the elite troops under Wu Ming's command. The Central Military Commission and the General Staff Headquarters came up with a preliminary draft and decided to set the time for the exercise three days later, and the two sides would each devote two regiments of troops to engage in a medium-sized confrontation.

For the sake of fairness, the exercise venue was set up between the Xinjiang River in the southern part of Yushan County, eastern Gandong, and the Liudu River, a tributary of Jinsha Creek, which were unfamiliar to both sides, and the two sides participating in the exercise would fight around Lianhua Mountain (now Wu'an Mountain Forest Park) until one side was completely defeated.

Wu Ming never thought that after experiencing the unhappiness of Lushan, Chiang Kai-shek would agree to hold similar military exercises, wasn't he afraid that his Imperial Forest Army would have any more accidents?

Thinking about it, Wu Ming didn't know the essentials, so he had to go to his eldest brother Fang Youchun for advice.

Fang Youchun analyzed that the grand welcome ceremony held at the Phoenix Mountain base yesterday brought too many shocks and illusions, and Chiang Kai-shek wanted to test the true strength of the new Second Division in order to determine how to use the new Second Division in the future

Wu Ming thought about it again and again, and always felt that things were not so simple, and finally asked the intelligence department to report on the troop movements in the surrounding areas of Quzhou.

At 10:40 a.m., Wu Ming saw off Chiang Kai-shek and his wife and provincial and local military and political officials at the Maoliangwu wharf.

The 16th Division stationed in Longquan, southern Zhejiang, the 19th Division in Lishui, the 63rd Division stationed in Yingtan, Jiangxi, and the 45th and 52nd Divisions newly stationed in Xiaoshan, Shaoxing, and Ningbo in eastern Zhejiang all showed signs of mobilization

After reading the map according to the intelligence, Wu Ming was shocked into a cold sweat, which was clearly a sign that the central government was going to use force to solve the new Second Division

Chiang Kai-shek has always been suspicious, did he unknowingly violate his taboo and want to cut himself? What now?

After that, Wu Ming was worried until the evening, and at nine o'clock in the evening, the generals and colonels above the commander of the new second division gathered at the Phoenix Mountain Base Conference Center.

Chief of Staff Zhang Dongning stood in front of a large map, holding a baton in his hand and looking solemn:

"Ladies and gentlemen, Chairman Chiang has arrived in Quzhou at 2:10 p.m., and the exercise plan has informed the whole army at 3 p.m. that the principal generals of the Military Committee and the General Staff Headquarters are ready to leave for Yushan.

"But now we are faced with a difficult problem, if Chairman Chiang really wants to be unfavorable to our new Second Division, once our main force is transferred out of western Zhejiang, Quzhou, Changshan, Maoliangwu and other places will inevitably be empty in defense, and the 45th Division stationed in Xiaoshan will only need half a day to take a train to Quzhou and rush to Changshan and Maoliangwu with lightning speed, and the whole situation will immediately collapse."

"To the fuck"

Lu Kuiyuan slammed his hands on the table and stood up suddenly: "If you really want to find out the carriage and horse artillery, who of us is afraid of whom?" Don't look at the fact that now our new second division has sent nearly half of its men and horses to northeast Zhejiang to build defense fortifications in Jiangsu and Zhejiang, but there are still more than 15,000 people in all parts of western Zhejiang, and the two main brigades have pulled out of the army, plus the garrison troops, or it will take Quzhou in two hours, so that Lao Jiang can taste the Xi'an incident again."

"So excited? Sit down"

Wu Ming glared at Lu Kuiyuan and scolded loudly: "Do you think it's so easy to make?" Look at the current situation of Zhang Xueliang and his Northeast Army, and then think about the current situation between China and Japan...... At this juncture, whoever provokes a civil war is a sinner of the country and the nation, do not act impulsively, but think more about the consequences."

"You can't be impulsive"

Luo Yuming, commander of the First Brigade, calmly analyzed: "After all, the Central Committee has a righteous reputation, and our new Second Division can naturally make concerted efforts to resist foreign humiliation, but if the officers and soldiers want to confront the Central Committee and Chairman Chiang, I am afraid that no one will be able to make up their minds to rebel, it is not a good deal, no one is a monkey who jumped out of a stone, and there are wives and children in the family, and no matter how you look at it, there is no chance of winning the mutiny, but it will cause endless trouble, and it is better to think long-term."

"Na Luo crooked mouth, what do you say?" Lu Kuiyuan said unconvinced: "Let's not just catch it."

"Isn't that a collective effort? I think that since our new Second Division is a new type of revolutionary army, it is natural that we cannot follow the example of the old-fashioned warlords, although we just follow the orders of the Central Committee and the General Headquarters."

Luo Yuming didn't have a better way for a while, so he could only tell his thoughts truthfully: "It's a big deal that everyone unloads their armor and returns to the field to go home to farm, it's better than the same room to fight and smoke and live in misery."

"Guys, do we have some cups and snakes?"

Second Brigade Commander Yang Sixian shook his head: "When is it now, the Northeast Army and the Sichuan Army are all undergoing reorganization, the whole country is sincerely united to resist Japan, and Chairman Jiang can even tolerate the Communist Party, not to mention that we ourselves are a member of the Central Military System, is it because we have used the money that should have been used for eating, drinking, and enjoying to build an arsenal, we will be ruthlessly suppressed, so who will dare to bury our heads in the real thing in the future?" ”

"Moreover, I don't think Chairman Chiang will risk the condemnation of the world and rashly take action against a unit with outstanding achievements, which is not conducive to winning the hearts and minds of the army and the people...... I see that Yu Crisp pretends that everything is unknown, and I believe that there will be no accidents."

Wu Ming nodded slightly, groaned for a while and did not speak.

Dai Ziran thought for a long time and said, "Didn't Chief Yu take our troops away because he was afraid that without the eldest brother and our commanders, an elite tiger army would become mediocre?" Since Chairman Jiang is the elder of Chief Yu, it is impossible for him not to know this...... I think maybe our performance during this period of time was too eye-catching, which aroused Chairman Jiang's jealousy, so he wanted to test it."

"At this time, we can't panic, let alone move blindly. As long as we don't have a ghost in our hearts, we can do what we need to do, face it calmly, and I believe that everything will pass. ”

Du Pingzhang, chief of the confidential section, said calmly: "Our telecommunications department monitored the radio signals during Chairman Chiang's stay in Maoliangwu, and in one day and one night, the chairman's chamber made radio contact only eight times, and the radio signals did not suddenly become frequent after arriving in Quzhou. ”

Wu Ming was sure in his heart when he heard this, and he didn't hesitate anymore, stood up and said:

"Everyone's analysis is very good, and it has inspired me a lot, since everyone thinks that the problem is not big, then let's just send the whole army, even if it is the new regiment of the supplementary brigade, it will also be pulled to Yushan, and the defense of the western Zhejiang region will be handed over to the Maoliangwu militia...... The excuse is that the two-regiment-sized exercise cannot achieve the purpose of training troops at all, so if we want to come, we will have a vigorous division-level confrontation......"

The more Wu Ming said, the clearer his thoughts became, and his eyes became brighter and brighter:

"That's right, that's the way it goes...... Hasn't our Phoenix Mountain Arsenal just developed bullets, artillery shells, grenades, and mines specifically for use in the exercise, and is preparing to use them in the large-scale combat confrontation exercise of the whole division to be held in June? We said that in order to allow Chairman Chiang to have a clearer and more intuitive understanding of the war, Yu Shui expanded the scale of the exercise, with our new Second Division playing the role of the blue side, and the Red side composed of the Chairman's Guard, the Special Service Regiment and the Guard Regiment directly under the Central Committee, and two regular Nationalist Army divisions, and we will strive to win the exercise under the condition of unequal forces."

Zhang Dongning's eyes widened when he heard this, and he asked hesitantly, "Is this...... Is that okay? Will others accuse us of grandstanding and deliberately boasting about Haikou and saying big things? ”

"At this time, it is difficult to divert Chairman Chiang's attention without making an astonishing move"

Wu Ming patiently explained: "Although I don't know why the chairman of the committee will suddenly mobilize the troops in Zhejiang and Jiangxi, it is not a good thing after all, if we don't say some amazing words to stimulate the chairman of the committee to think that Lao Tzu is the best in the world, there may be a real problem at that time."

"As long as we are in the exercise, we can defeat our opponents with real swords and guns, then no one can underestimate us...... Moreover, there will be at least 10 days and a half months of preparation for holding an exercise of this scale, and it is estimated that it will already be late June when the exercise is over, and when the fighting in North China starts, we will be able to turn the crisis into safety."

Dai Ziran immediately agreed: "This method is good, when others see our request, they will only think that we are arrogant and rude, and will not think of other ...... Judging from yesterday's contacts with the Chief's Guard, the Special Service Corps directly under the Central Committee, and the Guards Corps, those arrogant officers and men of the Imperial Forest will certainly be so angry that they will smoke and want to defeat us on the battlefield with dignity."

"Also, only by mobilizing the garrisons in the surrounding areas as much as possible, so that the attention of the whole army of the whole country is on Yushan, Maoliangwu and the Phoenix Mountain Arsenal will be safe, otherwise our troops will leave, and those bastards will be stationed in the Changshan camp and the Phoenix Mountain base, what will you say will happen to the base garrison regiment and the Maoliangwu militia that are left? When the time comes, it will be extremely detrimental to us to have another strife."

Wu Ming looked around: "Do you have any suggestions?" ”

Wu Ming immediately made a decision, then drafted a telegram to submit a new application to the Nanjing Military Committee and the General Staff Headquarters, and said that all the officers and men of the New Second Division would go all out to win victory in order to achieve the goal of truly training troops.
