Age of Conquest Reborn

Chapter 363: Praise and criticism are all politics

At the beginning of the Anti-Japanese War, except for a few battles that could be put on the table, which were regarded as the highlights of the *** troops, the performance of the entire *** army was unsatisfactory. Losing cities and territory was the most common thing. Hundreds of thousands of ***

, being chased and beaten by a regiment of Japanese troops, defeated thousands of miles away, and losing their helmets and armor was a common occurrence that often happened in various parts of China.

Tang Qiuli was thinking about it when he felt Mei Ting's worried eyes. In this conference room, Mei Ting, who was aside, had long noticed the unfriendly eyes towards Tang Qiuli. She was very worried about Ai Lang's situation.

Tang Qiuli secretly gave her a naughty smile, and Mei Ting felt relieved. Qiu Li's action was very familiar to her, which meant that there was no problem at all, so don't worry. However, Tang Qiuli was still happy in her heart. This girl was always happy.

It feels so good to think about myself!

Suddenly I heard the guard shouting loudly: "The Chairman is here!" The huge conference room was completely silent at that time, with nearly a hundred senior officers standing upright and not squinting.

After all, he is a strong man of a generation, and he naturally carries the air of a strong man, like a tiger in the forest, absolutely domineering.

On Chairman Jiang's thin cheeks, his eagle-like eyes scanned the whole room. When his eyes fell on Tang Qiuli's face, he stayed there for a few seconds. Tang Qiuli's heart beat violently like a drum.

, a moment of nervousness.

After all, he is a famous person in history. There was no crowned emperor in the Republic of China. People in later generations look at his history with a peaceful attitude. When you really face him, that kind of coercion seems to be able to hit your heart directly.

Chairman Jiang's expression seemed to be quite surprised, and then an imperceptible smile appeared at the corner of his mouth. However, this smile was too short, and no one else noticed it at all. Only Tang Qiuli, who made eye contact with him instantly.

, feel it.

After Chairman Chiang took his seat, the meeting officially began. Yan Daogang, Chief of the General Staff of the Northwest Suppression Campaign, gave a brief briefing on the current situation. Next, the protagonist of the meeting was completely Chairman Chiang.

Speaking in standard Jiangsu and Zhejiang Mandarin, with a slightly shrill voice, he first praised several military operations in the previous stage, especially the handling of the Guangdong and Guangxi Incident. Of course, those who received praise were all generals of the central system. These central military operations

The generals looked quite proud, with their chests held high and their heads high, high-spirited.

Tang Qiuli noticed that his neighbor, Chief Yan of Shanxi Province, curled his lips imperceptibly, half-smiling, perhaps feeling that Tang Qiuli was paying attention to him, and immediately returned to sitting upright.

Next, the atmosphere of the meeting changed. Chairman Chiang's voice became fierce. He really turned his face faster than turning the pages of a book. Maybe this is the true nature of a strong man? Is he an outstanding person? Is he a heroic person? Perhaps, history can never completely restore a person's true face.

Those who write history inevitably add personal emotion.

As a result, history has become blurry and unrecognizable. The so-called "five hundred years of unbelievable history, and historians are taboo for respected people" are mostly subjective assumptions without being present at the scene.

This time, Zhang Xueliang and Yang Hucheng became Chairman Chiang's targets. In addition to scolding Zhang and Yang for their ineffectiveness in suppressing the Communists, he also accused Zhang and Yang of secretly forming an alliance with the Red Army, colluding with each other, deceiving the central government, and having evil intentions.

They also asked Zhang Xueliang and Yang Hucheng face to face if they had the intention to tie themselves up and give them to Zhu Mao as a meeting gift?

Such words are not exaggerated when applied to Yang Hucheng. After all, the Seventeenth Route Army is a local force in Shaanxi. Yang Hucheng is also single and weak. He is not in the same weight class as Chairman Chiang. Yang Hucheng can only listen.

, even though his eyes were on fire, there was nothing he could do.

Zhang Xueliang is different. He is Chairman Chiang Kai-shek's brother Jin Lan. He is the deputy commander-in-chief of the Army, Navy and Air Force of the Republic of China, the deputy commander-in-chief of Shaanxi Bandit Suppression, and the leader of the Northeast Army system. It was only then that the Marshal Dongbei Yizhi became the leader.

Chairman Chiang Kai-shek's victory in the Central Plains War was for the overall interests of the country, and he was infamous as a general who did not resist.

Although the Northeastern Army was exiled to a corner of northern Shaanxi and had no foundation, a lean camel was bigger than a horse. When Zhang Zuolin was still alive, most of the wealth he accumulated was left to the Japanese. Except for the Central Army, most of the equipment of the Northeastern Army was left to the Japanese.

, is the best among the local powerful factions, and has more than 200,000 well-trained soldiers, and precisely because they live in a foreign land, they have more centripetal force and cohesion.

In the presence of so many senior generals, especially those of the Central Army, how could Zhang Xueliang withstand Chairman Chiang's acrimony and harsh words?

Chest rises and falls sharply.

He was obviously on the verge of an explosion. He wanted to stand up several times and have a live debate with Chairman Chiang Kai-shek. Yang Hucheng, who was mature and prudent, even though the fire in his stomach was about to explode, he still resisted and pulled Zhang Xueliang's arms several times.

Sleeves to stop his reckless behavior.

The air in the conference room seemed tense and solemn, and it was as quiet as a pindrop. The only sound was Zhang Xueliang's heavy breathing and Chairman Chiang's sharp voice. Tang Qiuli paid close attention to all the movements in the conference room.

He was also worried that Zhang Xueliang would not be able to bear it anymore and would get angry and contradict Chairman Chiang on the spot. If the two people refused to give in and went up to each other, according to Zhang Xueliang's temperament, they would fall out with Chairman Chiang on the spot, and the outcome would be terrible.

Very bad.

Chairman Chiang is not an easy person to deal with. Those who oppose him have either become defeated generals, or have turned into a wisp of smoke and been summoned by the Buddha to go to the Paradise of Paradise in the West. Of course, ** is a

The unusual number still makes Chairman Chiang rack his brains, worry about it, have a headache, and be helpless.

Once the deadlock was irreversible, Chairman Chiang became angry and killed Zhang Xueliang. Whether Zhang Xueliang and Yang Hucheng could safely leave Luoyang and return to Xi'an was unknown. The 300,000-strong Central Army had to destroy Zhang Xueliang's Northeastern Army and

It is possible that Yang Hucheng's 17th Route Army was stewed in a spoonful.

This situation is the result that Tang Qiuli least wants to see. Without Zhang Xueliang and Yang Hucheng's later shocking actions, China's history would have been missing a strong and wonderful event, and the situation of the Kuomintang and the Communist Party's cooperation in the war of resistance would not have been

Appear.

Chairman Chiang and the Red Army will definitely see the winner and the division of life and death. Only the Japanese are happy. This extremely ambitious and greedy nation wishes that the civil war in China will be more intense and the more people will die, the better.

.

At that time, it was effortless to occupy China, which had been coveted for three generations. During the Guangxi and Guangxi Incidents, the Japanese sent military advisers and provided free weapons, ammunition and funds to the Guangxi clique. This is an example of this.

If Chairman Chiang can really destroy the Japanese Red Army in one battle and eliminate his most important enemy, when he turns around to deal with the Japanese, it will be too late. He will be horrified to discover that in every corner of China,

Sun flags were flying in the city, and the wolf-like singing of "King's Generation" resounded.

How can the ** Red Army surrender and fight to the death? Zhu Mao is also an unprecedented great man. He traveled 25,000 miles, never fell the red flag, and never lost his military spirit. This is evident from his ability and cohesion.

However, in the life-and-death battle with the Japanese Red Army, the Central Army suffered severe injuries and was exhausted. Although they had the desire to kill the enemy, they did not have the strength to hold a gun. Seeing the powerful enemy massacre, they probably only became slaves to the subjugation of the country.

A share?

Tang Qiuli was thinking nervously about how he would step in and save the situation if something he didn't want to see happened. Then he thought again, if that were really the case, the Xi'an Incident would never have happened and it would not be recorded in history.

In the midst of it, my heart is calm.

Thanks to the mature and prudent Yang Hucheng, by Zhang Xueliang's side, there was no situation where the two of them had to go up against the bull on the spot, even though the faces of Zhang and Yang were as terrifying as before the storm.

After criticizing Zhang Xueliang and Yang Hucheng, Chairman Chiang seemed to have completely vented his anger. His tone turned gentle, and with a stiff smile on his serious face, he looked at the generals.

"Everyone, I would like to introduce someone to you today," the generals looked at each other. What important person needs to be introduced personally by the Chairman? Everyone here probably knows it. Who has such an honor?

"Commander Tang, please stand up and let everyone get to know each other! This is Lieutenant General Tang Qiuli who is in charge of the military and political power in the Pingjin region of North China. Despite his young age, he is indeed a veteran who has been on the battlefield for many years. You don't know yet?

Bar?"

Tang Qiuli never thought that Chairman Chiang would launch himself grandly on such an important occasion and speak highly of him. What was the purpose of this strong man? He made up his mind that no matter what Chairman Chiang threw out, he would

Although that's what happened next.

Thinking of this, I stood calmly and upright, without squinting, as if my gaze penetrated the thick wall and flew to the sky, with a calm expression and no sense of being flattered or frightened.

Chairman Chiang paused for a moment and saw that all the generals pricked up their ears and stared at him intently. Knowing that everyone's appetite had been aroused, he continued: "Commander Tang fought with the Japanese for three years in the Northeast.

In the battle, the Kwantung Army lost hundreds of thousands of soldiers and generals, and they were frightened by the news! Can you guys here blame me for having such a glorious record?"

"After arriving in North China, he supported the national government in the crisis in North China. After several battles and small tests, the Japanese stopped making some rude demands and were able to free up their hands to eliminate the Communist Party, a serious threat. Today, the central government can go all out to suppress it.

***, is directly related to Commander Tang’s actions in Pingjin.”

"It can be said that Army Commander Tang is indispensable. To be honest, the young general who is rumored to be quite legendary in the press is the first time I have met him today. Since ancient times, heroes have emerged as young men. At a young age, he became the only lieutenant general.

Blocking one side is unprecedented in the history of the Republic of China, and it is unprecedented! You should get closer to Commander Tang in the future!"

As soon as Chairman Chiang finished speaking, thunderous applause erupted in the conference room, which could make the old man personally recommend him and praise him like a flower. This young man's future is limitless. He is a rising star and getting close to him is inevitable.

This is politics. Compared with Zhang and Yang, Chairman Chiang wanted to knock him to the ground and then put another foot down. Tang Qiuli received so much praise and evaluation that he himself was embarrassed.

Zhang Xueliang and Yang Hucheng could only smile bitterly. Chairman Chiang's move was obviously to suppress themselves. Tang Qiuli was too high. However, it was Qiu Li who was praised. They talked all night in Xi'an and talked from the bottom of their hearts. Thinking of this, the two of them

I don't feel too bad anymore.
