Fu Xihai, the commander of the 124th Division, was sent away from the back door, and Long Guokang ordered to see Ling Fuyin. Unfortunately, as soon as Ling Fuyin sat down and the greetings were not finished, the adjutant came to report, saying that he would see Major Kawamoto in the future.

Long Guokang pondered for a while, and asked the adjutant to take Ling Fuyin to another room for tea, and went to the foyer to greet him.

When I walked to the foyer, I was very confused and even a little panicked. I originally wanted to talk to Fu Xihai, Ling Fuyin, and Mi Chuanxian separately in the afternoon, stabilize the hearts of the army, and probe their tone on all the things anyway, but I didn't expect a Kawamoto to suddenly appear, and all the things arranged were disrupted. Could it be that Kawamoto got some rumors?

It's not like it when you think about it.

The note that drafted the telegram was originally a play, and it was copied back from Guan Yuzhu, and he burned it with his own hands, even Guan Yuzhu's claim that he betrayed the Japanese was groundless. The rebellious Independent Brigade was defeated by him, Huang Shaoxiong also died, and Kawamoto would never find any fault with him.

The mood calmed down a lot. When he saw Kawamoto in the foyer, he smiled very naturally on his face, and he also made a joke with Kawamoto's adjutant Umezu Nakasa, who became shy and quiet, like an Oriental girl.

Kawamoto came from the Japanese army headquarters in Dancheng, saying that he was passing by Baiji City to see old friends. He made a happy appearance, invited Kawamoto to sit down in the living room, ordered the guards to make tea, put on cigarettes, and set out the chessboard as usual, to play Go with Kawamoto.

Kawamoto played Go very well, but he didn't have the heart to play it today. As soon as he sat down, he said that the situation was not good, the European war was a mess, the imperial army had also lost one after another in the Pacific, and perhaps he would be forced to fight against the American troops who had landed on a large scale in Japan or Chinese mainland. He also said that the Japanese military department had obtained information that the three giants of Roosevelt, Churchill, and Stalin had gathered in Yalta in Crimea to discuss the final destruction of Germany and the end of the war in Europe. At the same time, a decision will be made on the war in the Far East.

Long Guokang looked surprised, as if these situations were unheard of, and said very earnestly:

"It doesn't make it that bad, does it? The Imperial Army is fighting beautifully in China! Not long ago, Qujiang and Nanxiong were captured, and the Guangdong-Hanzhou Railway was opened. ”

Kawamoto was a little spirited:

"Yes, the foundation of the imperial army in Chinese mainland is very solid, if the US troops land on the three islands of Japan and the three islands are not defended, the military headquarters can also fight to the death between the millions of imperial soldiers in Manchukuo and Chinese mainland and the US army. At present, several divisions of the Kwantung Army have been successively stationed in Shanghai and other places to strengthen coastal defense. ”

Long Guokang nodded and agreed:

"If you fight in Japan and Chinese mainland, it will be very disadvantageous to the US military. Japan and China have the same roots, the same species, and are linked by flesh and blood, so it can be said that they are the same nation, and they are naturally able to deal with the foreign US military wholeheartedly. ”

Kawamoto sighed:

"It's just like you, General Long, think so, and there is hope for the final victory of the holy war! This is not the case. In Japan, we don't have politicians who are determined to die, and we only have the military to struggle and forge ahead, so that the situation is like this. In China, the soldiers are also not virtuous, look at the wind and make the rudder, hook the three parties! ”

Long Guokang couldn't help but be surprised:

"You mean Huang Shaoxiong's Independent Brigade, right? This is also to blame for the Commander-in-Chief Ben's carelessness in the past, raising tigers into trouble, and almost giving his life to him. ”

Kawamoto shook his head:

"Not only the Independent Brigade, not only Huang Shaoxiong, I'm afraid that for the entire front army, General Long must be careful to grasp it! We have the Communist Party's anti-vertical forces in the east and the five integrated divisions of the Kuomintang Li Hanming in the west, and a new mutiny is not impossible. ”

Long Guokang thought about it and said very seriously:

"General Kawamoto reminded us well, we need to be more careful. However, judging from the current situation, it is unlikely, Huang Shaoxiong's independent brigade has already left them a lesson by the Liuhe River, whoever dares to mutiny, the commander-in-chief will be killed! ”

Kawamoto was very happy:

"You handled the mutinous independent brigade well, and Commander Takashima praised you! The commander is also ready to go to Nanjing Chen ** to ask for credit for you! ”

Long Guokang waved his hand:

"Where! Where! If you hadn't sent the information, I'm afraid that it wasn't me who killed Huang Shaoxiong, but Huang Shaoxiong killed me. ”

After that, he was stunned for a while, as if he was still unsatisfied, and said:

"General Kawamoto, to be honest, I have great admiration for Wang **. Back then, Wang ** was a young hero, assassinated the regent, and I, Long Guokang, also led the party to participate in the Xinhai Uprising; Later, Wang ** advocated peace, and I also advocated peace, was the Sino-Japanese war a misunderstanding! Now that Wang ** is gone, I, Long Guokang, naturally want to support Wang **'s heart to support Gongbo and Fohai. ”

Kawamoto said coldly:

"You don't support Chairman Jiang and General He? Mr. He valued you very much back then! And your old commander, General Hu Shengrong. ”

Long Guokang laughed and said:

"Hug it! As long as they advocate peace, I will support them! ”

Kawamoto also smiled:

"Well said! However, it is hopeless to expect Chongqing to advocate peace! I heard that the negotiating opponent they are looking for is not our military department, nor the Japanese government, but the opposition forces, a bunch of political waste! ”

Long Guokang played haha:

"Alright, alright, General Kawamoto, let's not say these words, let's talk about something practical! How's it going for me to ask you for help? ”

Kawamoto couldn't remember for a while:

"How can you help?"

"Help me pick up my mother from the Hunan War Zone!"

Kawamoto suddenly realized:

"Oh, Commander Takashima directly helped you with this, sent Captain Nakamura to take a risk, and said that after the old lady arrives in Dancheng, he will hold a banquet to celebrate your mother and son!"

Long Guokang smiled:

"Thank you General Takashima on my behalf, and please rest assured that the Seventh Front Army has my Long Guoyasu here, and the Independent Brigade and the like will definitely not happen again!"

After a few more words, Kawamoto took his leave, saying that he had something to do with the boundary monument store. He sent Kawamoto and Umezu Nakasa all the way to the gate, and when he saw Kawamoto's car and the guard's motorcycle rumble and drive out onto the street, he breathed a sigh of relief and turned back.

The Japanese apparently doubted his loyalty. Kawamoto's eyes are extremely sharp, and he can see the bones of the Chinese soldiers. At the beginning, when the Japanese gained power, there were many officers and soldiers who submitted to the Japanese; Today, the big picture is not in favor of the Japanese, mutiny is inevitable, and Kawamoto knows it as well as he does. Fortunately, he was calm, and at the end he also raised the question of an old mother, in this regard, Kawamoto and Takashima should understand: he Long Guokang is reliable, and at this time, bringing the old mother from the national control area to Dancheng is a clear proof that it is reliable.

Because he is reliable with the Japanese, he doesn't know what to talk about with Ling Fuyin, who has been waiting for a long time. Anyway, there is no way to talk about returning to the central government, and it will be difficult to spread it to the Japanese. Thinking about it again, I felt that it was also a mistake to hand over the Temporary Eighth Brigade to Ling Fuyin. At that time, it was decided to hand over the Temporary Eighth Brigade to Ling Fuyin because he thought that the entire Seventh Front Army was anyway, and he thought that Ling Fuyin was more reliable than Fu Xihai in this matter anyway. Fu Xihai was loyal to him well, and he was equally loyal to the Japanese, and even the army commander Mi Chuanxian scolded this person for being a slave of the Japanese. When talking to Fu Xihai before, Fu Xihai also had a big imperial army.

I still talked to Ling Fuyin head-on-I didn't talk about it anyway, I only talked about governing the army, and asked Ling Fuyin to transfer some battalion commanders of the Eighth Brigade and the battalion commanders of the Suijiu Division to prevent new accidents. He also instructed Ling Fuyin to be vigilant against Li Hanming's rebellion and to be vigilant against the resistance in Yunya Mountain.

He told Ling Fuyin with a straight face that the resistance was more dangerous than Li Hanming's national army, and once he instigated trouble, it would be difficult to clean up.

sent Ling Fuyin away, and Mi Chuanxian, the commander of the New Sixth Army, came as promised. He stayed with Mi Chuanxian for dinner, and told Mi Chuanxian all his worries and assumptions with a frown, asking Mi Chuanxian's opinion on the anyway. Mi Chuanxian thought about it all night, and didn't say until he left:

"Big brother, this matter is not trivial, brother thinks we have to take another look, wait! This is China, not Europe, and the Japanese are still fierce! ”

This is exactly what he was thinking, and he nodded frequently while listening, feeling that Mi Chuanxian was wise, and he was also wise.
