Chapter 59 (II) Restraint of the Three Armies
h2 >After Ji Kefeng's brief speech, he asked Koji Shida to take the list of rebel officers, held it high in his hand and said: "Here is a list of personnel listed by the naval intelligence department, a list of rebel officers, with thousands of names on it, including their relatives and friends around them, when this list came into the hands of General Koji Shida, the general said to me that there was no need to do this, he didn't want to lead to any bad results because of this list, because General Koji Shida thinks, Our navy has always been united, so he asked me, and he said, "General Ji, let's destroy this list." I said yes, that's what I mean, but we have to destroy this list in front of everyone. ”
As he spoke, Ji Kefeng picked up the thick list and threw it on the deck, then jumped down and asked someone to take a bucket, tear off the pages and throw them in, and then set it on fire.
When Ji Kefeng did these things, Tian Honger's back was in a cold sweat, and his original act of patting on the back was used by Ji Kefeng. Although Ji Kefeng deliberately elevated him in his words, fools know that the naval intelligence force obeys his orders, and without his orders, the intelligence department will collect these materials? Of course not, so, Ji Kefeng's hand is also telling these rebellious officers that it was originally a list collected by Koji Shida to kill you, but I saved you, and at the same time told Koji Shida that it was me Ji Kefeng who had the final say in the navy, not you, you will always be just a thing that is nothing in my shadow, if you act rashly, you have other ideas, I will let you evaporate from the world at any time.
Everyone watched as the pages of the list were burned to ashes, and then Ji Kefeng lifted the bucket full of ashes, handed it to Koji Shida, and said in a loud voice: "These should be forgotten forever, should be thrown into the sea, we pass it on, pass this bucket to the person at the front of the deck, and he will pour the ashes in the bucket into the sea, and this bucket will always remain in the naval headquarters, put it there, warn everyone, warn everyone, always stay awake, don't be used again!" ”
The bucket full of ashes began to pass on the deck, from one person's hand to the next, and very far to the front of the deck, the last officer poured the ashes into the sea, and saluted under the leadership of Ji Kefeng, which was regarded as a farewell to his past, and then the barrel was really placed in the hall of the Navy headquarters and became a souvenir.
Ji Kefeng's hand made Tian Hongji very admired, it can be said that he didn't expect that this supported naval commander would be so thoughtful, and he would use this way to win people's hearts, much more clever than him, a naval admiral in his fifties.
And Ji Kefeng knew in his heart that what he had learned was completely a combination of Tang Shuxing and Gu Huaiyi's approach, first killing a hundred people, and then appeasing people's hearts, the damned people are dead, these people who don't need to die then stay, although killing them is just a gesture, but the consequence is that the military spirit is unstable, and everyone will only see him as a bloody executioner, not a general who can lead them.
The surrender of the navy made the air force very confused, because in the next two days, whether it was the army Gu Huaiyi or the naval headquarters, no one was sent to contact the air force. Dill called his chief of staff and a few confidant staff officers into the office, and held a meeting all day to discuss, what to do next?
The topic of the meeting is very simple, divided into two directions, A is to fight, B is to submit.
If so, how? What if it fails?
And to whom do you submit to obedience? Is it to the army or the navy?
Very, everyone here is inclined to submission, and everyone is afraid of death, isn't it? As Gu Huaiyi said, can the Air Force fly in the sky for me forever? Doesn't fall down? The army attacked the airfield, the ground troops and the navy's artillery and guidance blocked the dead sky, and the air force planes would be shot down one when they flew up, not to mention, William also clearly knew that there were spies and undercover agents in the air force, and if he continued to stalemate like this, sooner or later it would be a dead end, and maybe one day the undercover agent would kill him with one shot.
William looked at his two chiefs of staff and asked, "What do you think about the issue of submission?" ”
Chief of Staff An Qianquan looked at the coffee cup in front of him and said, "General Gu and General Ji do not agree, who doesn't know the whole army for so many years?" Whoever submits is a question, and it will offend the other. ”
"Why don't you ......," Chief of Staff Lewis shook his head, "why don't we return together?" To meet both of them at the same time? ”
William looked at Lewis and said, "You mean, you and An Zhiquan, one goes to see General Gu, and the other goes to see General Ji?" ”
Lewis nodded: "This is the best way, there is no other way." ”
William nodded: "It's a good idea, but what about the rebel officers?" Although the leaders all died at sea, there are still some of our troops, and we have also made a list, so it is impossible for General Ji to repeat the old tricks on the aircraft carrier, right? There's no way we can't go through that list, right? ”
"There is one of the most dangerous, but perhaps the most feasible ways." A small staff officer in the corner spoke, and everyone looked at him and nodded his head to continue.
The little staff officer said: "We are subordinate to Tang Shu's punishment." ”
As soon as these words came out, everyone present was shocked and looked at each other, yes, why not do this? Tang Shuxing is a legendary hero in Shangdu, with great influence, and he also has close ties with Gu Huaiyi and Ji Kefeng.
Lewis immediately said: "Good way, so that the dilemma will be solved, and no one will trouble us." ”
William nodded: "However, none of us know about Tang Shuxing, there are many rumors about him, many people say that he is a monster, with a strange temper, and kills people like numbness, but some people say that others are very good and kind, and if we don't understand this, we will be very passive when we do the following things." ”
"No, sir, you've all misunderstood." The little staff officer said, "Our purpose is to push this problem to Tang Shuxing to deal with, not to deal with it ourselves." ”
William was shocked, looking at the little staff officer, he didn't even know the name of the other party, he didn't know that there was such a smart person under his command.
Yes, it's not easy to deal with anyone who is obedient, it's better to be punished by Tang Shu, isn't it still said anyway? He is also a secret envoy, even if he has been missing for many years, there is nothing wrong with submitting to him, and at the same time, it can be said directly that the Air Force is very worried about the affairs of the army and navy, and at the same time, he also believes that the affairs of traitors need to be dealt with at the discretion, because some people in the Air Force have made serious mistakes,
At this time, the small staff officer took out an order from that year, an order from seven years ago, the order was signed by Reinhardt, and it was written that Tang Shuxing should manage all the affairs of Shangdu on the ground.
William looked at the old yellowing order: "Does it work?" This was signed by Reinhardtch. ”
The little staff officer said: "General, so far, no one has said whether everything that happened is not aimed at Reinhardt, and no one has said that the mutiny is to rebel against anyone, and General Gu and General Ji are not to regain power in order to resist Reinhardtsy, so, nominally, we are still Shangdu's army, and we take this thing to submit to Tang Shuxing, which is justified, so to speak, we went to him completely under the premise of pretending to be stupid, we pretended not to know anything, very nai, in this way, the matter will be solved." ”
William looked at his two chiefs of staff, who looked at each other and nodded, feeling that this should be the case.
William waved his hand to let the other staff officers leave, and after the door closed, he touched his lips and said, "We have to keep this matter a secret." ”
Lewis and An Zhiquan were shocked, and Lewis immediately said: "What does the general mean to extinguish?" ”
William nodded: "Yes, what happened just now must be kept secret, after the two of you go to find Tang Shuxing, I will arrange for someone to kill him." ”
"Understood, but how to find Tang Shuxing? We don't know where others are? An asked.
William said coldly: "This is simple, you go directly to Ji Kefeng with the order, it is impossible for Ji Kefeng not to go to Tang Shuxing in the face of this kind of thing." ”
Lewis and Ahn were stunned for a moment, and then accepted William's proposal, after all, they could only blindly follow the whole thing.
Just as Lewis and An Zhiquan boarded the plane and headed for the Navy Headquarters, the killer sent by William sneaked into the room of the little staff officer, but found no one, except for a note, which read-Thank you, General, Director Xia, for accepting my valuable proposal, in the days to come, I hope that the general will be loyal to General Tang Shuxing, otherwise, I will come back at any time to catch up with the general.
"It's a staff officer." The killer brought back the note and read it in front of William.
William's face turned pale, and he covered his face and said: "Xia Jiezhu is not dead, she is still alive, Xia Jiezhu's hands are really long, she buried the timed bombings inside the three armies many years ago, this woman is really terrifying, she is worthy of being the most trusted person in Reinhardt back then." ”
The killer put down the note and shook his head: "What next?" It seems that this proposal of the little staff officer was planned by Xia Jiezhu, and we were fooled. ”
William shook his head: "Don't be fooled, it should be said that this is the best way out for us, isn't it?" The three powers are divided, Gu Huaiyi controls the army, Ji Kefeng controls the navy, and Tang Shuxing controls the air force, no one will act rashly, whoever moves will not get benefits, and if there is a contradiction, the three of them will definitely win over each other, if the navy and air force are combined, the threat to the army is great, once the air supremacy is lost, the army is a live target, we can retreat to the naval island base, where there is an airport, in that way, the army does not have the help of the navy, and there is no way to fight over. On the contrary, in short, it is to restrain each other, and in the same way, if the three armies are united, it will be terrible. ”
The killer nodded silently, under William's instructions, 1152
