This is a strategic decision related to the fate of the country and the nation, and it needs to focus on the whole country, and it is something that the high-level officials of the Jinling government and the senior staff officers of the chamberlain will only consider.

Not to mention a small lieutenant colonel of the military police, even if the commander of the group army wants to answer this question, it is really difficult, not to mention the overall situation, he can see the local area clearly, he is already the best among the people.

"The lowly man is light and rude, and he didn't dare to talk about such military affairs, since the commander asked, then the lowly man is in vain, and if it is not right, please Haihan."

"The reason why we chose to fight a decisive battle in Shanghai is to show the international community the determination of our Jinling government to defend the territory and resist the war, and on the other hand, to swear to all parts of the country the determination of the Jinling government to resist the Japanese invaders, unite all the forces that can be united, and save the country and the nation from danger."

"As for the relocation of the capital to the southwest region, it is more in consideration of the evolution of the war situation, once Japan puts most of its troops into the Shanghai battlefield, the next strategic target will definitely no longer be North China, but Jiangsu, Zhejiang, Anhui and Beijing, Shanghai and Hangzhou, including Fujian and Guangdong provinces, these coastal areas are also the most developed and wealthy provinces in China at present."

"In this way, the direction of the Japanese army's attack has changed from advancing all the way from north to south to from east to west, we have the advantage of terrain, China's terrain is high in the west and low in the east, and the opponent is attacking from the back."

"There is another very important reason why the great southwest should be regarded as the rear of the anti-Japanese resistance, Japan is an island country with scarce resources, the strength of the army is limited, and the war potential is also limited, the more places they occupy, the longer the battle line is stretched, the strength will be restricted, too scattered, and the threat will be lower and lower."

"In Yunnan, Guichuan and other places in the southwest region, the terrain is dangerous, easy to defend and difficult to attack, the enemy's mechanized troops cannot be used, we defend according to the danger, and give full play to our advantages to the greatest extent, we are more familiar with our own homes and our own territory than the enemy." Han Lin said categorically.

These words were the words provided to him by a lot of materials in later generations, and they naturally hit the nail on the head, but the four military and political officials present looked at each other when they listened, is this still a lieutenant colonel of the military police?

In fact, long before the July 7 Incident, the high-level and senior staff members of the Jinling government were struggling to think about how to deal with the war situation, and the results of a year were also the most important strategic decision, but a middle-level officer opened his mouth and said it clearly, how can such a person stay in the military police headquarters, he should go to the staff headquarters or the chamberlain!

"Okay, very good, I'm impressed by your strategic foresight, tell me about your intelligence!" Chen Ji endured the horror and excitement in his heart, and pretended to be bland.

When he heard Han Lin's words, his heart was the most shocked, some words were not clear to others, but he knew that the firefighters of the Jinling government were not called in vain, or rather, the commission had no secrets for him, referring to military affairs.

Chen Wei also knew that Han Lin had some inconvenient things to say, as for why he chose to fight against the Japanese army in the largest international city in the Far East, the commission was not only for the international community, but also for warlords everywhere!

Foreigners are unreliable, and only by gathering forces from all over the country can they fight the Japanese army to the end!

Shanghai is the Jinling government's tax area, known as the Ministry of Finance's money bag, he actually fought a tragic large-scale battle with the Japanese army here, enough to show his determination, even if Beijing, Shanghai and Hangzhou into ruins, he will not retreat, this time is to fight to the end!

"I received news that the Japanese emperor appointed Matsui Ishine as the commander, Major General Mabuna Iinuma as the chief of staff, organized the Shanghai Dispatch Army on the 15th, led the 3rd Division and the 11th Division, and is expected to arrive in Shanghai on the 21st, the reserve troops are the 9th and 13th Divisions, if the war does not go well, more Japanese troops will be sent to come, including the Japanese troops in North China."

"In North China, the Japanese army has successively transferred the fifth, sixth, tenth, and sixteenth divisions to the battlefield, and according to the information I have received, there will be new divisions and regiments to reinforce them, and the battle in Shanghai will inevitably affect the strategy of the Japanese army, which will be transferred from North China to Central China." Han Lin said.

No matter how much he can't remember, the reason why he can remember these Japanese divisions is mainly because they belong to the permanent horse pulling division, the sequence of seventeen permanent divisions, and the sequence of the first division, and the follow-up Japanese divisions and regiments, he really has no impression.

"What about your proposal? Fight or withdraw? Chen asked asked.

"Fight, the result of the battle of Shanghai, we have a high probability of losing, but the defeat of Shanghai is the basis for future victory, and its significance is not trivial, according to the humble opinion of the humble position, if you want to fight, you should prepare early, and the reinforcements of the Japanese army will soon come."

"There is another situation, last year, the Japanese secret service sent professionals to the area of Hangzhou Bay to survey the hydrological situation, and the main observation site was in Jinshanwei, which is a very critical point, once the Japanese army forcibly landed from here, we will have to suffer from the enemy." Han Lin said.

I've done what I can do, and I can't do anything more!

"These military secrets you said are the top priority of the war situation, I want to thank you on behalf of the committee and the Jinling government, although this is your duty, but I still want to express my gratitude to you, Han Lin, you can be called a model for the Jinling government soldiers!"

"You go back first, you must pay close attention to the enemy's movements, and if there is any information, send a telegram to the attendant room in time, and we will return to Jinling tomorrow and report the situation here to the commission." Chen said.

"I don't dare to be praised so highly by the chief, I just do my duty, and I retire!" Han Lin saluted the four of them, and then went out.

Seeing Han Lin salute the military salute, the four of them returned the military salute, which was the greatest affirmation of him.

"This little guy has a strategic vision and a long-term vision, he is a rare talent among young officers, and he is really a bit condescending to work in the military police headquarters, and he can't give full play to his strengths. Zhang Wenbai said with a smile.

"How do I think he's a teenager? You see that he is a lieutenant colonel, in the face of our group of lieutenant generals, how can he be nervous, how has his speech been delayed, how has his thinking been affected, he is not in a hurry or slow, and he analyzes problems and goes straight to the core, such a little guy will become refined after a few years of cultivation! Xiong Tianyi said with a smile.

"A person who can easily navigate the diplomatic missions of various countries in Shanghai, and a person who can open an international club for the consul generals of various countries in Shanghai to cheer on, there is no need to go through the training." Yang Hu also spoke.

Thank you for the tip, thank you!
