Chapter 258: Dismissal and Investigation?
At the same time, the palace of the supreme governor of the mountain city ......
The wind was raging, and large drops of rain slammed on the roof, and with the crackling sound of rain, there were clearly visible water marks on the glass windows.
Outside, it was already white, as if the whole world was shrouded in misty rain and fog.
The Führer looked at the pouring rain and was slightly distracted, at this time... A sudden knock on the door interrupted his thoughts.
"Come in."
The door opened, and the head of the Bureau of Investigation walked in... Dai Li.
"How's the rain going?" The Führer stroked the mist on the glass window and asked casually.
"Back to the principal, I have arranged for my subordinates to do it." Director Dai stepped forward and put a neat stack of materials on the table, and said with a slight bow.
The Führer sat down in his chair and opened the documents and looked at them carefully, these were the detailed course of the incident and all the information of the people involved.
"Tell me, how should this incident in western Yunnan be ended so that everyone can expect it?"
Director Dai's heart froze, pondering what the Führer meant by asking, his head was thinking and his mouth didn't stop, and after a slight pause, Dai Li replied respectfully:
"It may be a little difficult to get what everyone wants, but in the end, some people are happy and some are sad, as for who is happy and who is unhappy, it still depends on what you mean."
The Führer was a little displeased, raised his eyelids and scratched him, didn't this throw me another question?
Ignoring him, the Führer continued to flip through the information, his brow furrowing as the content deepened.
"Humph! This He Shaozhou is such a bastard? Is it true that when his uncle is in a high position, he can act recklessly!? ”
Director Dai stretched out his head to take a look, and it turned out that the head of state had seen the information and bad deeds about He Shaozhou.
According to the information, he relied on his position in the Dali Defense Army to act recklessly, often withholding materials, or using this as a blackmail to receive benefits, and even engaged in reselling tobacco and ammunition.
In fact, most of the national government and military have done these deeds, and some officers have done it more ruthlessly than him. But at this special time, the power of breaking the news is quite huge. Who would have thought that a small thing would make such a big fuss?
Director Dai also spared no effort to dig up his black history, because he knew... That's what the Führer wants to see.
"Has the battle report of the Battle of Nantianmen been verified?" The Führer suddenly asked without thinking.
Director Dai's brows moved slightly, and he hurriedly replied: "It has been verified, and it is completely true that the Sichuan Army completely annihilated more than 6,000 people of the Takenai Wing, killed 37 senior Japanese officers, including the wing commander, and profited countless materials, and successfully controlled the entire Songshan area. ”
Hearing this, the Führer's expression gradually relaxed, and he nodded his head in approval with satisfaction: "This Liao Mingyu really has two brushes to fight." ”
At the beginning, Liao Mingyu was given an establishment and a supplement of less than a regiment, and in a year, he was trained into a steel army, and he also formed a formation to eliminate an expanded wing of the Japanese army.
For this kind of troops that can fight wars and don't require too much investment from the top, the bald head is very fond of it.
"The circular is loud, let the Central Daily write an article to report on this campaign, and let the broad masses of the people know about the victory of our army and the demeanor of that anti-Japanese general."
"Understood."
Director Dai secretly praised, it seems that the head of state wants to build momentum for Liao Mingyu and use propaganda victory to dilute the impact of this incident.
It's just that in this way, the latter will be pushed to the cusp, and the powerful Minister He will not give up.
"Principal, then He Shao's case ...... on Monday" Director Dai was worried and wanted to find out.
"Do you need to ask me? Acting impartially, punishing and precautioning will not be tolerated. He Shaozhou has a bad record, and it is an unforgivable crime to try to rob other people's materials, but Liao Mingyu is also at fault, huh...... How to judge you, the Investigation Bureau will do it yourself! ”
The Führer's previous words were righteous and awe-inspiring, but the last sentence laid the end of this incident.
"The student understood."
Director Dai breathed a sigh of relief, how could he not hear the meaning of the words after staying by the Führer's side for so long, this is to make himself a villain.
It's just that the Investigation Bureau has always been a villain, and there are fewer people who have offended? He has long been accustomed to this role, and it seems that Minister He has to despair this time.
The Führer's hands were folded on his chest, in fact, he had other plans in mind.
The United States and Britain are preparing to hold a summit meeting of the Allied Powers at the end of the year, the purpose of which is to discuss the strategy of counterattacking Japan and the arrangements for the post-war international situation, and to formulate a strategy for the allied forces to cooperate in counterattacking Burma and a plan for aiding China.
Originally, he didn't want to counterattack western Yunnan, at least now he doesn't want to fight.
But at this time, the strategic victory can help the Chinese side occupy more weight at the negotiating table, and the international status will also rise, which is what he is eager to get.
Looking at the entire Southeast Asian battlefield, Sun Liren and Liao Yaoxiang's troops stationed in India have been somewhat out of control, and now his orders have not yet worked as Stilwell.
And how many troops can win the battle in western Yunnan? Even elites like the 200th Division were crippled and shrunk to Kunming to recuperate.
The Tachuan Legion is a dark horse, from the first Burma campaign to the present repeated miracles, the Japanese planted in their hands have 10,000 people, such a record is unique in the entire expeditionary force.
How can such a tiger be willing to abandon his bald head? Not only can it be used, but good steel must also be used on the blade!
In addition, the bald head did not have a good impression of that Minister He, he had been cheated twice by the latter, and each time he hated him.
Originally, Minister He, as a veteran of the national government, also made great contributions to the world when he was the first to fight the world with the bald head, and he can be said to be one of the most trusted people by the bald head. But as his status rose, so did his thirst for power, and Minister He did not escape this strange circle.
The first time Guangxi's Bai Li duo brought Jiang into the wilderness, he was involved, and then the second time his ambition was completely exposed.
During the Xi'an Incident, the bald head was detained by Zhang Paopao and General Yang, and all forces were actively discussing in the hope of resolving the matter peacefully, for fear that a bad nominal supreme official would be killed.
However, Minister He, who was the No. 2 person in the national government at that time, immediately realized that this was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, and he immediately organized a crusade army to attack, and strongly advocated the bombing of Xi'an City, wanting to solve the incident by force, and the desire to kill people with a knife was particularly obvious...... Every move was intended to kill him.
What I didn't expect was that the Xi'an incident was resolved peacefully in the end, which also shattered Minister He's dream of being the head of state, and the bald head completely realized his insidiousness and ambition, and never handed over the real power to He Yingqin since that time.
It's not that the bald head doesn't want to kill him, but the price he has to pay is too great, and it is very likely to cause turmoil in the entire national government, which is really worth the loss.
This ruptured relationship, coupled with the importance of Liao Mingyu, the head of state actually has an answer in his heart.
"Yunong, you should go to western Yunnan in person, Liao Mingyu has made a great contribution and has been rewarded, but he has to be punished if he makes a mistake, I originally planned to let him reorganize the 66th Army, but this matter is ......"
The Führer paused, rubbed his chin for a moment's thought, then picked up the brush and began to write, writing as he spoke:
"Cancel all the rewards for Liao Mingyu this time, and he himself will have a major demerit and remove him from the post of commander of the Sichuan Army. But Nian made great contributions to the victory of Nantianmen, and retained the title to watch the after-effects. ”
"The Sichuan Army has been expanded to the division level, and the number is the Honorary Third Division of the National Revolutionary Army, and it will be reorganized according to the main division, and Song Xilian will be fully responsible for this matter, and the division commander will be temporarily replaced by the deputy head of the former Sichuan Army."
Director Dai was overjoyed, feeling that this is a bright fall and a dark rise, there are only two division-level units in all the armies that are crowned with the word honor, and they are both known as the ceiling of the combat power of the national army.
Retaining Liao Mingyu's military rank is nothing more than waiting for this cusp to straighten it out, after all, it is impossible to say that he has committed such a big thing without punishment, so that he can also block those leisurely mouths.
The Führer put down his brush, handed the written order to Dai Li, and instructed:
"Go ahead, let Liao Mingyu sit idle for a while after the matter is over, but the reorganization of the troops must be carried out quickly, and let him strive to hand in a satisfactory battle report to me before the end of the year."
"Don't worry, principal, I'll do it!"
