The afternoon meeting was also the first time that many high-ranking generals participated in such a high-level meeting after the high-level blood exchange of the Second Army and the Third Army. Ye Zhao served as the commander of the Second Army, and He Zhengchuan served as the commander of the Third Army. If it is said that because Ye Zhao is also related to the old Cantonese family, the second army is still surnamed Yue, then the third army is completely decoupled from the old Cantonese family.

Six divisions of the Second Army and the Third Army plus two independent brigades, six division commanders and twenty brigade commanders were replaced in total, and Ji Xingwen and Jiang Guangnai were worried that such a large rate of blood exchange would provoke a mutiny. But now it seems that their worries are unfounded. Perhaps because he has been engaged in ideological work at the grassroots level, this time he was transferred from the post of political director to the commander of a division and six brigade commanders of a military commander, and he was not criticized by his subordinates. Of course, there were discordant voices, but they were far less than Ouyang Yun expected. At the beginning, many people thought that the addition of the post of political commissar to the command system of the Cadet Army, which was similar to that of the political commissar in the first army, was not conducive to the unity of the troops, but now it seems that it has played a positive role.

Of course, because after all, he has always been engaged in political ideology and psychological counseling work, and the lack of military attainments will lead to a decline in the combat effectiveness of the troops, but considering that in the next period of time, the cadet army will focus on defense and accumulate strength to prepare for the next Pacific War, so with a certain amount of time for learning and integration, I believe that it will not be long before the combat effectiveness of the troops will return to its original level.

Since the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression has been fought to the present, even if the Cadet Army is not the absolute main force, it has also played a leading role that cannot be ignored. Because of this reason, all the generals of the student army subconsciously came up with this view: their mission is to fight devils. Therefore, when Ouyang Yun announced at the meeting that the next goal of the Cadet Corps would be to focus on defense and recuperate, many people were surprised and did not understand why there would be a 180-degree turn in the army's principles and policies. And some people with a heart, knowing what role Chongqing played in this military rebellion, looked at each other, and couldn't help but start to doubt Ouyang Yun's intentions: The commander-in-chief did this, did he want to give Lao Jiang a little color? They immediately thought again, it doesn't make sense, although the commander-in-chief likes to act rashly, but he has always had a clear attitude on such major issues of right and wrong?! So, what could be the reason?

After Wang Jingwei established the puppet Nationalist Government in Nanjing, he extended an olive branch to the local armed forces throughout the country, and did not hesitate to use high-ranking officials to do everything in their power to win over. I don't know if they are deceiving themselves or if they really think so, they arrogantly regard themselves as the saviors of China's current society, and when they are trying to win over the forces of all parties, they flaunt how great they are, as if the reason why they have committed such shameless traitorous acts is really for the sake of the country. At present, in China's warlord armament, regardless of military scale or economic scale, the student army deserves the title of the first place. Therefore, although Ouyang Yun had the reputation of hating traitors, Wang Jingwei still sent a telegram, calling on Ouyang Yun to support the puppet government of Nanjing and complete the great cause of national reunification as soon as possible.

In this regard, Ouyang Yun naturally smiled. However, his approach, which was completely contrary to the past, aroused many people's speculation at this meeting. Not all of them have a deep understanding of Ouyang Yun's temperament, so they can't help but be very worried, the commander-in-chief won't be stunned by Wang Jingwei, right?!

Ouyang Yun's next words unraveled their confusion.

"Taking defense as offense is not blindly defending and being beaten! Next, I will draw a bottom line for the troops on the front line - as long as the Japanese cross this bottom line, then give me a hard beat......"

"Accumulating strength is for the sake of future battles, so the actual combat training must not be left behind! Well, as for the specific implementation methods and methods, Deputy Commander-in-Chief Li will explain to you below......"

The meeting was dispersed at half past four, and after the meeting, Ouyang Yun left Ji Xingwen, Li Tieshu, and Chu Tiange behind, and several people began to discuss the affairs of the Taiwan Army and the Northwest Army Corps.

The Combined Fleet's hasty retreat from the coast of Hainan Island has benefited not only from the Fifth Army, but also from the Taiwan Corps. Taiwan's supply fleet was almost completely wiped out, and it lost not only a large number of ships, but also a large amount of military supplies. These military supplies were originally prepared by the Tokyo base camp for Kobayashi Tazao to annihilate the Taiwan Corps, but when Yamamoto 56 first appropriated them, he promised Kobayashi that he would use supplies from Nagasaki to replenish them. Then, after Taiwan's supply fleet was attacked, it promised to wait for Hainan Island to be defeated and then transfer and replenish the supplies from the base camp to Hainan Island. However, with the attack on the Nagasaki supply fleet, the combined fleet had to evacuate in a panic, and Yamamoto's promise became a flower in the mirror and a moon in the water, even if he wanted to keep his promise, he lost the ability to make up for Kobayashi's losses. In the absence of supplies, Kobayashi had to stop the encirclement and suppression of the Taiwan Corps, which relieved the Taiwan Corps, which had been struggling, and even launched a counteroffensive for a time.

In the northwest, since Ouyang Yun asked Niu John, Diana and Ding Yi to be responsible for the supply of the Northwest Legion by pouring the military tickets of the little devils, the Northwest Legion not only solved the problem of eating, but also began to enter Suiyuan from Shaanxi. After obtaining Fu Zuoyi's consent, they entered Mongolia from Suiyuan, and now they have established themselves in the southwest of Mongolia. The establishment of the Northwest Army also stemmed from this time.

The development situation of the Taiwan Corps and the Northwest Corps is very good, and since the base camp of Fujian, Yueqiong, and Fujian will remain on the defensive, there will be no economic difficulties in appropriately increasing investment in these two places.

For Mongolia, those who are familiar with Ouyang Yun are clear about his ambitions, and in front of Chu Tiange and others, he never hides it. After Pan Meiren brought the tea, he said straight to the point: "Keeping everyone here is for Taiwan and the northwest, Taiwan is close to Fujian, and there is no problem with the support of the air fortress, and we will now focus on the affairs of the northwest." ”

Before the meeting, Ouyang Yun had discussed this matter with Ji Xingwen, so he was very calm at the moment. And Li Tieshu and Chu Tiange had just heard about it, and they couldn't help but feel a little surprised. Chu Tiange asked, "Big brother, do you want to fight Outer Mongolia?" ”

"Yes!" Ouyang Yun replied, his eyes blazing.

Li Tieshu snapped his eyes and said, "Is it too hasty?" Outer Mongolia is so unjust from us. Ah, if you let Guo Da and them go to Suiyuan, won't they just go to Outer Mongolia? ”

Ouyang Yun nodded: "Of course." Otherwise, why do you think I'm doing this? Fighting devils in the northwest, General Fu is no worse than us! ”

Li Tieshu shook his head and smiled bitterly: "I don't think it's realistic." Outer Mongolia has the support of the Soviets, but the Soviet Union is not Japan. Although the Japanese claim to be the second in the world in the army, we all know that this is their boasting. The Soviets are different, although they don't shout everywhere, but now who in the world dares to underestimate them? ”

Chu Tiange followed and said, "I also don't think it's realistic. Outer Mongolia has been independent intermittently for a long time, and during this time, the Mongols have not enjoyed much benefit from the state, they are afraid that they will not recognize themselves as Chinese for a long time, right? In this case, our entry into Outer Mongolia is actually similar to aggression. ”

Their pessimistic views did not surprise Ouyang Yun, he said: "The difficulties you mentioned exist objectively, but if you analyze them comprehensively, all difficulties actually have only one core, and that is the intervention of the Soviet Union. So, what if the USSR didn't intervene? ”

Ji Xingwen also heard this for the first time, and the three of them couldn't help but be stunned, and then said in unison: "The Soviets don't intervene?" Is it possible? ”

"If the USSR itself suffers aggression, and is at a disadvantage, then there is a possibility of this!" Ouyang Yun continued to swear without surprise.

The three of them glanced at each other and shook their heads in unison, Chu Tiange smiled and said, "Big brother, don't deceive yourself, this kind of thing is basically impossible to happen." ”

Ouyang Yun smiled and said incomprehensibly: "There is no absolute in anything, now, let's discuss it on the premise of this." ”

"But—" Ji Xingwen said.

Ouyang Yun: "It's nothing, we don't have to take action now, I'll leave you here, just to discuss the preparations." Well, in two years, if this opportunity doesn't come up in two years, then we will transfer them back, how about it? ”

The three of them looked at each other, and after careful consideration, did not object again. Although what Ouyang Yun said was a bit ethereal, once they thought of his many previous proverbs, they couldn't help but feel lucky, and then felt that it was worth a try.
