The Japanese army's concentrated superior forces to attack Fujian, Yueqiong, and many people regarded it as an excellent counterattack opportunity for the Central Army and other Chinese armies. First, you can take the opportunity to recover some territory, and second, you can boost the morale of the people, so why not? In fact, the Japanese army has only begun to mobilize its troops, and in North China, the best troops have begun to counterattack, and now they have achieved good results in Shanxi. In the northwest region, Fu Zuoyi and Zhang Zizhong's Northwest Army, Guo Da and Huang Haifu's Scholar Army also began a counteroffensive - it was based on this situation that Zhang Shaomarshal took the initiative to come to the door to suggest to Lao Jiang, that he should seize this rare opportunity, change the previous situation of blindly being beaten passively, and launch a large-scale counteroffensive. In this way, not only can it support the Cadet Army in action and put considerable pressure on the Japanese army, but on the other hand, it can also take advantage of the situation to recover some occupied areas. It's a win-win-win thing, so why not?

But I didn't expect Lao Jiang to answer what kind of answer, the young marshal remembered that when the Central Plains War, if he hadn't resolutely stood on Lao Jiang's side, he might not have been able to take the position. After saying goodbye quietly on his face, he left Jiang's mansion and immediately ordered the driver to drive to the representative office of the Xuebing Army in Chongqing.

In Tokyo, the 11th Army suffered a heavy defeat in Nanchang, and even Okamura Ninji was trapped in Fengxin County, Jiangxi Province, after the battle report was transmitted back to the Japanese base camp, from Emperor Hirohito to the vice ministers of the army and navy, the first reaction of those in the know was dumbfounded, and they could not believe that this was true. Emperor Hirohito convened a meeting in the afternoon of the same day, and the first thing he did was to severely refute Itagaki Seishiro, and then suggested that the cabinet remove him from the post of land minister: "The Scholar Army, the Scholar Army, and the Scholar Army." Do you know how many times the Imperial Soldier has been mentioned in the Imperial Report he submitted? Let me tell you, there are thirty-seven times in total, and among them, except for the good news that Sawada Shigeru's Fourth Division once reported, the others are actually bad news, how the imperial army was defeated, and how much did it lose!? I have entrusted the military of the Empire to you in the hope that you will help me solve my worries, but now, what have you done? Do you want to encircle and suppress the student army, or send it to the door to encircle and suppress the student army? Can anyone answer me that question?! ”

Emperor Hirohito's temper has always been quite good-tempered, but the more he becomes angry, the more the others will be silent.

Itagaki Seishiro didn't say anything, his head was so low at the moment that he almost touched the floor. Prime Minister Nobuyuki Abe and other cadres were also trembling, and they did not dare to raise their heads to meet Hirohito's gaze.

Ouyang Yun definitely did not expect that the great victory of the Cadet Army in Nanchang would actually cause a shock in the Japanese political arena. The prime minister was replaced, the war minister was replaced, and in just one week, the Japanese cabinet was close to a major reshuffle. And Yonechi, who had lost his post as Minister of the Navy because of "sunken it", turned over and became the prime minister of Japan's new cabinet under the strong recommendation of Yamamoto Isoroku. The Japanese army and navy have always been at odds, and the post of prime minister was taken by the navy, and the army was a big step back, so its hard-line faction was given the upper position, and Hideki Tojo, a fanatical militarist, became the minister of war as he wished.

Just when the Japanese cabinet began to adjust its personnel, a political game began in Chongqing, China, -- the Cadet Corps won a great victory in Nanchang in the early morning of the same day, and in the afternoon of the same day, the threshold of the Cadet Corps' office in Chongqing was almost broken by the representatives of all sides.

When the young marshal came to visit, Mu Jiandie, the director of the office, was talking with Feng Yuxiang, General Feng and some other old people from the Northwest Army.

After the Chongqing Incident, Feng Yuxiang became the vice chairman of the Military Commission, and after the defection of the Wang family, he took over some of the forces that originally belonged to the Wang family, and now it has become a major political system in Chongqing that can drink Lao Jiang's court and fight against it.

No matter what the cadet soldiers themselves thought, and no matter what the cadet soldiers had towards him, the founder of the Northwest Army, General Feng personally believed that this was the victory of the Northwest Army. The old general came over without lunch, and stayed here after he came, and in his heart, an amazing plan was brewing at this time.

"Good, great! The northwest and southeast are now under the control of our Northwest Army, and we can take this victory as an opportunity to launch a counteroffensive on an unprecedented scale-" Old General Feng was instilling this concept to Mu Jiandie and others, and the reception staff outside the office came to report: "Young Marshal Zhang has arrived. ”

Mu Jiandie stood up and was about to speak, when Old General Feng stood up and said, "Great, please come in!" ”

Mu Jiandie smiled: "I'll go and greet you, old general, everyone, please wait!" ”

Zhang Shaoshuai and Mu Jiandie walked in one after another, and the former was stunned when he saw everyone in the room, then smiled and saluted Old General Feng, and shook hands with the others one by one. After the last, he smiled and said to General Feng: "Old General, you are also here for the victory in Nanchang, right?" The victory in Nanchang can be described as a timely rain! ”

Because of the Northeast Army's change of banner in the Central Plains War and the later non-resistance policy in the September 18 Incident, General Feng has always had a lot of opinions about Zhao Shaoshuai. This is a well-known thing, so at first, including Mu Jiandie, they were worried that he would still be able to put up a shelf and give Zhao Shaoshuai a chance to get off the stage.

Unexpectedly, this time General Feng was extremely generous, and he answered: "The young marshal is very right, the Nanchang victory is indeed a timely rain. Ladies and gentlemen, since the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression, we have always been passive on all fronts and then had no choice but to withdraw our troops. It is a miracle that such a student army took the initiative to attack and was able to completely annihilate a group army of the Japanese army. Ladies and gentlemen, to tell you the truth, since the Cadet Army stood out from the system of our Northwest Army and firmly took root in the southeast, I feel that if China wants to win this war of the century between China and Japan, it will ultimately rely on our Northwest Army -- at present, it is a great opportunity for us to carry out a counteroffensive and reverse the decline in one fell swoop! The Japanese have amassed a large number of troops in South China, which will inevitably lead to an emptiness of forces in Central China, North China, and even in the northwest......"

There is an old Chinese saying that no one is perfect, and this sentence is also applicable to General Feng. General Feng's patriotic sentiments and personal character are naturally speechless. But his self-righteousness and parental complex are also very serious. For example, what he said now, his starting point is certainly good, and he wants to seize this opportunity to carry out a counterattack, so that he can not only recover the lost territory, but also put pressure on the Japanese army, so that the Japanese army does not dare to devote all its strength to the operation of encircling and suppressing the student army, which can be regarded as helping the student army share the pressure. It's just that he actually included the Scholar Army, which had almost nothing to do with him directly, into his so-called Northwest Army system, no matter what everyone here thought, at least Ouyang Yun and the Scholar Army would not agree.

This is doomed, no matter how perfect his plan is, and no matter how ambitious he is, there is actually no soil for realization.

Not to mention how many troops from the former Northwest Army are willing to listen to him, can he persuade Jiang to agree to this operation alone? The current Military Commission, after all, is still Jiang who has the final say!
