It was a hot and dry morning, and at eight o'clock I couldn't put on a jacket, and the south-facing window shone in the hot sun, which brought out the depth of the hot and dry. Many people opened their arms widely. Shen Shuangying, the commander of the 125th Division, who had just arrived at the conference hall, took off his hat and used it as a fan. All complained that the weather was too stuffy. Fu Xihai insisted that its heat was out of season, saying that it was just over May, and it shouldn't be this hot method. Mi Chuanxian said that it should be hot according to the season, but it shouldn't be so hot in the morning. Just as he was talking nonsense, Long Guokang came in, followed by a few guards and staff officers, and everyone stood up and saluted the commander-in-chief. Long Guokang didn't return the salute, nodded casually at everyone, walked to the conference table and stopped. At this time, everyone noticed that Long Guokang's face was extremely ugly, he took off his military hat, slapped it on the table with a "snap", pressed the edge of the table with both hands, and stared at everyone silently, his eyes were cold and vicious, like a trapped beast being manipulated.

Shen Shuangying noticed that Long Guokang's hand pressing on the edge of the table trembled slightly, and the guards and staff officers behind him all pulled out their guns, and the gun storage area at the door was suddenly full of gun-wielding guards.

Things have changed.

I felt it. I don't dare to say it. The air in the room was frighteningly quiet, and its tension was far greater than that of the day of Huang Shaoxiong's incident.

Shen Shuangying intuitively determined that this time it was the turn of the New Sixth Army, and it was obviously Commander Mi Chuanxian's carelessness and exposure of the news, which caused the embarrassment of today's danger. If the trouble is not good, he, Mi Xianchuan, Zhao Junli, and Li Yunqin's lives will be buried in this hot conference hall.

Sweat flowed silently, from his face and forehead, and also from the faces and foreheads of Commander Mi Chuanxian, Chief of Staff Li Yunqin, and Deputy Division Commander Zhao Junli. I didn't dare to wipe it, I was very afraid that the carelessness of raising my head and moving my feet would detonate the explosives package that Long Guokang had subconsciously set up.

Long Guokang's gaze swept around the conference hall, creating a full atmosphere of majesty and terror, and suddenly waved his hand and announced:

"Commander Mi and the people of the New Sixth Army stayed, and the others dispersed, and each returned to the defense area to standby!"

Fu Xihai asked stupidly:

"Total ...... The main seat, again ...... What's going on? ”

Long Guokang said coldly:

"Don't ask what you shouldn't know!"

Fu Xihai didn't dare to say anything.

Mi Chuanxian was about to be completely clear about his situation at this time, and he was afraid that Fu Xihai would make things worse if he stayed here, so he also said:

"Master Fu, go back too! Today's business is none of your business! ”

Long Guokang glanced at Mi Chuanxian attentively and waved his hand at Fu Xihai.

Fu Xihai stood up and wanted to go out of the door with the division commanders of the Ninth Division and the Eighth Brigade of the Temporary, but his feet did not move, and he asked again in confusion:

"Investigate ...... What happened? ”

Long Guokang snorted:

"Nothing! I'm going to talk to Captain Mi and them! ”

Fu Xihai went out at this time.

As soon as Fu Xihai left, Zhao Junli, deputy commander of the 124th Division, also followed very smartly, as if Mi Chuanxian's plan had nothing to do with him, and he actually made a naïve and confused look.

Long Guokang is not confused, he fingers with his hand:

"Where is he going? Deputy Division Commander Zhao! Don't you want to talk to me, the commander-in-chief? ”

Zhao Junli looked embarrassed, responded with a hesitation, and sat down obediently.

Shen Shuangying decided at this time that the commander-in-chief probably had all the secrets.

Sure enough, Long Guokang knew everything, not only knew all the high-ranking officers of the New Sixth Army who participated in the plot, but also knew that Li Hanming had sent a total of several representatives, and the names, ranks, and positions of several representatives, and even several plans and complete sets of arrangements that they had received anyway, made people feel that this was not the New Sixth Army planning, but simply Long Guokang planning and planning a mutiny against himself.

It's weird, and it's really God.

Long Guokang sneered:

"It's not weird, it's not God! You guys are underestimating me! Especially Captain Mi, he just played me like a fool! ”

Mi Chuanxian hurriedly stood up and wanted to explain. Long Guokang didn't listen, grabbed the teacup in front of him and slapped it on the table:

"Drink tea! Hold the teacup and give me tea! You've been talking too much openly and secretly these days, and now you have to listen to someone from me, Long, to talk about it! ”

I had to honestly pick up the teacup and listen to Long Guokang.

Long Guokang didn't say anything, sat on the chair slowly, loaded the pipe, lit the fire, and held the pipe to smoke leisurely, looking like a cat playing with a mouse.

The staff officers, guards, and guards at the door behind Long Guokang stood like statues one by one, their faces expressionless, and they opened the guns in the big nose, pointing directly at them and their shattered premeditation, Shen Shuangying's legs couldn't help but shake under the table.

The phone rang, and a tall staff officer answered the phone, hurriedly said something into the microphone, and ran over to mutter to Long Guokang.

Long Guokang shook the pipe in his hand:

"Say it out loud! Be louder! Captain Mi, they are not outsiders either! ”

The tall staff officer then reported in a loud voice:

"The pistol regiment of the New Sixth Army occupies the military headquarters and refuses to surrender its weapons. At this moment, the military headquarters of the New Sixth Army has been surrounded, and the entire Beiguan is forbidden from the streets! ”

Long Guokang nodded, turned a wrinkled old face to them, and asked in a consultative tone:

"Do you think it's a fight?"

Li Yunqin, the sweaty chief of staff, blurted out:

"When...... Of course you can't fight! ”

Long Guokang asked almost kindly:

"So, who's going to call Deputy Commander Kim?"

Mi Chuanxian stood up:

"I ...... I'll fight! Gold...... Kim Dalai is messing around! ”

Long Guokang was a little satisfied:

"Captain Mi is quite smart!"

Mi Chuanxian scolded Kim Dalai on the phone, as if he didn't know that the military department had a pistol regiment. It was also sternly ordered that, in order to avoid further misunderstandings, the pistol regiment should immediately disarm itself.

After making the call, he returned to the table and sat down, and Mi Chuanxian explained:

"General seat, since the end of the twenty-ninth year, I Mi Chuanxian has followed you, before and after the saddle, in the wind and rain, it has been more than five years, and it has been ...... in the past five years."

Long Guokang slapped the table:

"Drink tea, I said, I'm going to talk about it today, I'm tired of listening to your dog's flattery!"

This time, Long Guokang really spoke, and said it heavily and slowly. According to the commander-in-chief, his appointment as commander-in-chief of the puppet front army was granted by the Chongqing Central Committee and was engaged in the struggle to save the country under extremely difficult and dangerous circumstances. In 28 years, he led the new 56th Army to surrender to the Japanese in the Yellow Flood Area and accept the reorganization, because he was forced to do so, otherwise he would not be able to preserve the strength of the national army for the future recovery. After becoming a puppet commander-in-chief, he tried his best to work for the Central Committee, and everything he did cannot be disclosed yet. He recruited Mi Chuanxian, Huang Shaoxiong, and Ling Fuyin's men and horses, not at all to expand his own strength, but to strengthen the central recovery team.

This is like a mythical story, Shen Shuangying doesn't believe it, Li Yunqin and Zhao Junli obviously don't believe it either, but they all make a look of belief and listen seriously.

Long Guokang finally confessed.

"Because I support the central government, and the central government also supports me, your business, Li Hanming was ordered by the central government to communicate with me, Li Hanming didn't know the relationship between the central government and me, planned the Huang Shaoxiong uprising, and stirred up your New Sixth Army, but now that he knows, he told me about the situation, and said it was a misunderstanding."

Mi Chuanxian said:

"What a misunderstanding! True...... It's a misunderstanding! ”

Long Guokang stared at Mi Chuanxian steadily:

"Li Hanming is a misunderstanding, the other brothers here are misunderstandings, I'm afraid you, Commander Mi, are you not misunderstood? When Kawamoto came to the door more than three months ago, Lao Tzu talked to you about the matter anyway, what did you say? You say the time is not ripe, tell Lao Tzu to wait, see! ”

Mi Chuanxian's face was ugly:

"You were ...... at the time You didn't talk about the relationship with the central government......"

"If you don't talk about this relationship, you dare to mess with Lao Tzu's ghost? Dare to dream of climbing on Lao Tzu's head? You Mi Chuanxian do things by yourself, and you have your own numbers! You don't want to return to the Central Committee anyway, you want to get rid of Lao Tzu, the commander-in-chief, and become the commander-in-chief yourself! You feel that you have pretended to be the third grandson, and the opportunity has come, and you want to be the master! You can't compare with Brigade Commander Huang and Senior Commander Ling! The two of them are making trouble, anti-Lao Tzu, and it can be said that they are for the country, you-you, like the dead ghost Adjutant Zhao of the Suijiu Division, are for yourself! You know the fate of Adjutant Zhao, who was fucked by his stinky woman with a bare ass! If you are anti-Lao Tzu, you will end no better than Adjutant Zhao, maybe the brothers here will kill you! This is called treating others the way they do! ”

Mi Chuanxian muttered bitterly:

"No...... No...... It's not like that, it's not ......"

Long Guokang slapped the table:

"What would it be like if it weren't! Say to you brothers! ”

Shen Shuangying knew that Mi Chuanxian was finished, and was determined to go with Long Guokang to save the country, and took the lead in bringing out the conspiracy meeting that Mi Chuanxian held more than three months ago. Then, Li Yunqin and Zhao Junli also came out with Mi Chuanxian's words and deeds of plotting against Long Guokang, and no one was ashamed in the slightest.

After hearing this, Long Guokang said in large quantities:

"I know, these things have nothing to do with you, you are all in the hands of Mi Chuanxian - in the past, someone in my dragon also fell for him, and he still regarded him as the most reliable person, and now he ......"

Long Guokang sneered.

Mi Chuanxian completely collapsed in Long Guokang's sneer, "plopped", knelt down in front of Long Guokang, and said with tears in his eyes:

"Total ...... Commander-in-Chief, Long ...... Brother Long, brother shouldn't ...... Brother ...... It really shouldn't! Still...... I also hope that the eldest brother will look at the past and look at it...... Look at the horse heel before the brother saddle...... For the sake of following the commander for five years, Rao ...... Spare my brother's life......"

Long Guokang looked at Mi Chuanxian, who was kneeling on the ground, as if he was looking at a pile of garbage, and looked at it for a long time before he snorted:

"Bad seeds! Stand up for me! ”

Mi Chuanxian didn't dare to stand.

Long Guokang stomped his feet and shouted again:

"Stand up!"

Mi Chuanxian was startled and stood up.

"I said earlier, if you don't want to be with me, I will never force you, if you want to leave, I will give you 800 yuan in cash to settle down for your retirement! My dragon someone's talk counts! ”

Long Guokang waved his hand, and two guards came in with two trays of oceans, the oceans were all sealed with red paper, and a tube was lying in the tray, stacked very high, and it could be seen at a glance that there were more than eight hundred.

Sure enough, it's not eight hundred.

Long Guokang pointed to the tray and said:

"I haven't forgotten your merits before and after the saddle, and you are my deputy commander-in-chief and army commander, I can't just give eight hundred, this is one thousand two hundred, and I will send someone to your house immediately!" Within three days, you will leave the appeasement area for me, go back to my hometown, go to Chongqing, and I don't care where I go! ”

Mi Chuanxian was quite surprised, with tears on his face, he bowed down in front of Long Guokang again:

"Total ...... Main seat, dragon ...... Brother Long, brother...... Brother Suit ...... Convinced, brother thanks...... Thank you! ”

Long Guokang waved his hand in disgust, and the guards outside the door came in and took Mi Chuanxian out.

As soon as Mi Chuanxian left, Long Guokang asked the staff officers and guards around him to collect their guns, and asked Shen Shuangying and the three of them to continue drinking tea, and asked again when drinking tea:

"Which of you is going to go?"

They all said they wouldn't leave.

Long Guokang nodded:

"I know you won't leave, you fell for Mi Chuanxian. I don't blame you, people are not saints and sages, who can be without fault? Besides, Mi Chuanxian was your military commander in the past, and there is no way if you don't listen to him. ”

It is said that the commander-in-chief is wise.

"Mi Chuanxian is gone, we still have to do it, the commander of the new Sixth Army, who do you think is suitable?"

Li Yunqin believed that Fu Xihai was Long Guokang's dog, and he was most trusted by Long Guokang and reported Fu Xihai. Shen Shuangying thought of the suspicious and cunning Commander-in-Chief Long very smartly, saying that it was best for Commander-in-Chief Long to be the commander of the army. Zhao Junli weighed it a little, stood on Shen Shuangying's side, and supported Commander-in-Chief Long to directly take charge of the New Sixth Army.

Long Guokang laughed and shook his head:

"It's not appropriate! I think it's best for this army commander to take the division commander Shen! ”

Shen Shuangying barely believed his ears:

"Me?"

"Yes, it's you! You are more suitable than Fu Xihai! You have brains, Fu Xihai doesn't! You have a patriotic heart, and Fu Xihai doesn't either! Sooner or later, we will have to submit to the Central Committee, and the real power of our Seven-Front Army will be in the hands of the brothers who support the Central Committee! ”

Shen Shuangying was very moved, her heart was hot, and tears came out of her eyes:

"Total ...... Seat in the head, you ...... Since you trust your brother so much, your brother will definitely serve you well, and ...... Take the New Sixth Army with you ......"

Long Guokang shook his head and said:

"Not for me! It is for the country, for the nation, and for the central government to lead the team well! As long as you are loyal to the central government, you are loyal to my dragon country! ”

Long Guokang's eyes flashed with tears:

"I'm old, I don't want anything anymore, I've suffered to this day, and I ...... That is, for the sake of the center! If the central government wants to recover the lost land, we are all responsible, I am responsible, and you are also responsible! Before the national calamity is over, the matter of intrigue between our brothers regardless of the overall situation can no longer be ...... Can't get out again! ”

Shen Shuangying stood up in extreme excitement, stood up with a "snap", and saluted Long Guokang:

"Yes! Total seat! Brother Guarantee ......"

Li Yunqin and Zhao Junli also hurriedly stood up, and together with the new army commander Shen Shuangying, they pledged to be loyal to the commander-in-chief and the central government, and to go to the soup to fight the fire in order to recover China and save the people in the occupied areas.

At this time, Director Kong of the Guards Division of the General Headquarters came in to report, saying that the pistol regiment had changed again, and the regiment commander Zhao Xiuming refused to carry out the order of the deputy commander Jin Dalai, and took Jin Dalai and announced that the pistol regiment would revolt alone.

Long Guokang was shocked:

"Nonsense! Even if someone tells them to go, they won't be able to get out! ”

"Zhao Xiuming wants you and the Japanese to give up the first-line passage from Baiji to Jiebeidian, otherwise, you will occupy Beiguan and resist to the end!"

Long Guo Kang scolded at his feet:

"Bastard! They are looking for death! ”

Shen Shuangying saw that the opportunity to show loyalty had arrived, and immediately expressed his willingness to transfer effective troops from the 125th Division to reinforce the guard regiment of the General Headquarters and eliminate Zhao Xiuming's pistol regiment.

Long Guokang disagreed, saying that he could not alarm the Japanese, let alone fight in the same room. After thinking about it for a long time, he suddenly asked:

"Is this Zhao Xiuming very familiar with Second Grandma Shi?"

Shen Shuangying also remembered:

"That's right! He worked as a bodyguard with Shi Er's grandmother for three years before eating food! ”

Long Guokang made up his mind and said to Director Kong of the Guard Division:

"Lao Kong, go to Puzhen immediately to pick up Grandma Shi'er! Go in my car! ”
