Volume 1: Battle of Songhu Chapter 159 Military Parade
After listening to the translation, Chairman Jiang's face became more and more ugly, and he said, "It seems that Mr. Stilwell respects Xu Shijiu?" ”
"Of course." Although Stilwell had been in China for many years, he did not understand the language habits of the Chinese at all, so he could not hear the displeasure in Chairman Jiang's tone, and continued, "Mr. Jiang, I think you should allocate a part of the economic aid from the US government to Xu XIX, he is a master tactician, and the US government's economic aid can play a more effective role when it comes to him."
Stilwell stood on the standpoint of the US government, and there was nothing wrong with him thinking and saying so, but from the standpoint of Chairman Chiang, Stilwell would have committed a taboo in doing so, and Chairman Chiang had always hated others pointing fingers at him.
After the September 18 Incident, little Japan pressed forward step by step, but Chairman Chiang repeatedly held back, so when the Sino-Japanese War broke out in full force after the 77 Lugou Bridge Incident, both in the international and domestic public opinion unanimously believed that Chairman Chiang would be willing to be the emperor of little Japan, and little Japan thought so.
Speaking of which, Chairman Chiang also studied artillery at the Japanese Army Non-commissioned Officer School.
But in the end, Chairman Chiang's choice was to fight to the end, and the reason for this was not that Chairman Chiang was unwilling to surrender, let alone because he lacked good feelings towards Little Japan, but because the conditions of Little Japan were too harsh, and Chairman Chiang hated others pointing fingers at him, so in the end, the talks between the two sides collapsed.
At this time, Stilwell asked in front of Chairman Chiang to set aside a part of the funds from the economic aid provided by the US government and hand it over to Xu Shijiu, how could Chairman Chiang endure this breath?
Immediately left Stilwell and left the Janssen Mansion without saying a word.
Of course, Stilwell will not be happy, which also lays the groundwork for the discord between the two in the future.
Dai Li followed Chairman Jiang out, caught up and asked, "Commission, about the handling of Xu Shijiu." ”
Chairman Jiang stopped, looked back at Dai Li, and asked, "What is your opinion on the Military Command Bureau?" ”
"Our opinion is that Xu Nineteen should be executed immediately and secretly." Dai Li said with pity, "We must not let him fall to the Communist Party." ”
"Then execute, execute immediately" Chairman Jiang gathered his coat, Wang Shihe, the chief of the state guard, opened the car door, and Chairman Jiang bent down and got into the car.

Early the next morning, Ye Ruxue received a secret order from Luojiawan No. 16 and asked her to go to Chikou
Ye Ruxue was very puzzled, it stands to reason that going to Chikou to pick up people from Shanghai should be a matter of Wei Guoqiang and the Biedong team, and Luojiawan No. 16 Weishenme has to go to Chikou in person? However, the order of Luojiawan No. 16 was very clear, and Ye Ruxue did not dare to disobey the order, so she immediately handed over the work of the intelligence department to Wei Guoqiang, and then set off for Chikou with two agents.
Ye Ruxue didn't know that the reason why Luojiawan No. 16 ordered her to go to Chikou was just to transfer her away.
To paraphrase Mao Renfeng's words, Ye Ruxue has no choice in terms of scheming or ability, but only in dealing with Xu Shijiu, she is not rational enough, so in the execution of Xu Shijiu, Ye Ruxue must not be allowed to participate.
Almost as soon as Ye Ruxue left on the front foot, Wei Guoqiang came to the guest house to see Gu Zhutong on the back foot.
"Tell me about your military commander's Jihua." Seeing Wei Guoqiang, Gu Zhutong stopped going around the bush and asked directly.
"Our jihua is like this." Wei Guoqiang nodded and said the assassination jihua he had just planned.
"Military parade?" Gu Zhutong frowned, and said in a deep voice, "I came to Longkou County, Xu Shijiu refused to even have a simple welcome ceremony, how could he specially arrange a military parade for me?" Is there no other way than a military parade? ”
Wei Guoqiang shook his head and said: "If you just want to execute Xu 19, you can do it without arranging a military parade, but the problem is that just executing Xu 19 can't solve all the problems, if you can't execute Gao Shenxing, Li Shuanggun, Niu Sigen and other senior officers together, with all due respect, it is almost impossible for Li Tuanzuo to control the anti-Japanese National Salvation Army in southern Anhui." ”
Gu Zhutong asked in a deep voice: "After the military parade, there is a chance to solve these people together?" ”
"At least eighty percent sure" Wei Guoqiang nodded, and continued, "If there is a military parade, then Xu Shijiu, Gao Shenxing, Li Shuanggun, Niu Sigen and other senior officers will definitely stand on the parade platform with Commander-in-Chief Gu and you, and at that time, we only need a bundle of grenades to solve them together, and we can also put the responsibility on the head of Little Japan, let's just say that the agents of Little Japan came to assassinate them, and this time, the officers and soldiers of the Anti-Japanese National Salvation Army in southern Anhui will not be suspicious. Li Tuanzuo will be relatively simple to control the Anti-Japanese National Salvation Army in southern Anhui. ”
Gu Zhutong stopped talking, what Wei Guoqiang said was undoubtedly very reasonable, in order to help Li Zihan effectively control the anti-Japanese salvation army in southern Anhui, it was not enough to just execute Xu Shijiu, but Gao Shenxing, Li Shuanggun, Niu Sigen and other senior officers must also be executed.
But the problem is that these senior officers are almost inseparable from Xu Shijiu except for Gao Shenxing, Li Shuanggun is stationed in Hewan Town, and Niu Sigen is stationed in Yanjia Town, in normal times, they will not be with Xu Shijiu at all, if they send killers separately to assassinate Xu Shijiu, Li Shuanggun and Niu Sigen at the same time, the risk is too great.
If something goes wrong in the middle, it will trigger a large-scale mutiny in the anti-Japanese National Salvation Army in southern Anhui, and such a result is undoubtedly what Gu Zhutong does not want to see.
"Okay." Gu Zhutong only hesitated for a moment, then made a decision, and said in a deep voice, "I will arrange the military parade, but the killer who detonates the cluster grenade, you must carefully choose, and you must ensure that there are no mistakes." ”
"Commander-in-Chief Gu, please rest assured, our military commander has never been short of dead soldiers." Wei Guoqiang responded solemnly.
Gu Zhutong nodded, he knew that Wei Guoqiang was not talking nonsense, in the entire military control system, although there was no shortage of scum like Wang Tianmu, Li Shiqun, and Ding Mocun, but more than that, they were hot-blooded young people who went forward and followed each other and regarded death as home.
These people are all national heroes worthy of eternal remembrance

While eating lunch, Gao Shenxing found Xu Shijiu and asked, "Old Xu, do you smell anything?" ”
Xu Nineteen was planning the reorganization of the Nineteenth Detachment, and asked without raising his head: "What smell?" ”
Gao Shenxing said: "Wei Guoqiang, the captain of the military commander Longkou Biedong team, ran to the guest house to see Gu Zhutong in the early Qing Dynasty, don't you think it's strange?" Military command and theater are not the same system, Wei Guoqiang has something, and there is no need to report to Gu Zhutong, the commander-in-chief of the three theaters, right? ”
"Maybe it's Gu Zhutong who wants to find Wei Guoqiang to understand some information." Xu Shijiu disagreed, and said, "Old Gao, are you thinking too much?" ”
"I hope I'm thinking too much." Gao Shen said, "But I always feel that this taste is wrong, I always feel that something has to happen." ”
"What could happen?" Xu Shijiu smiled, and then said, "Is it difficult, Gu Zhutong really dares to do it, this is in Longkou County." ”
"That's right." Gao Shenxing also felt that what Xu 19 said was reasonable, after all, this is Longkou County, because Xu 19 has always pursued the road of independent resistance from the moment he first arrived in Longkou, so the influence of the Kuomintang on the 19th detachment is extremely limited, if Gu Zhutong really dares to do anything, then he really has to consider the consequences of doing so.
To put it bluntly, the officers and soldiers of the 19th detachment only recognize Xu 19, and they don't care who you Gu Zhutong is.
While he was talking, Li Zihan suddenly walked in and said, "Old Xu, Commander-in-Chief Gu, please take a trip."
Xu Shijiu put down the pen and asked Li Zihan: "Zihan, do you know what Commander-in-Chief Gu is looking for me."
"He didn't say it." Li Zihan shook his head and said, "Just let me invite you to the guest house."
"Okay, I'll go over now." Xu Shijiu put the unintended haodejihua into the drawer, turned around and walked out
"Lao Xu, I'll go with you." Gao Shenxing was not at ease, and followed Xu Shijiu to the guest house
When he arrived at the guest house, Gu Zhutong didn't say anything else, but just proposed to Xu 19 that he wanted to see the military appearance and style of the 19th detachment of the Anti-Japanese National Salvation Army in southern Anhui.
"Military parade?" Xu Shijiu was also a little moved when he heard this.
