Age of Conquest Reborn

Chapter 703: High-profile trip south

The defensive support points on the periphery of Taiyuan have all been removed, and the general attack on Taiyuan is about to begin. In order to reduce the casualties of the troops, Tang Qiuli held a special combat meeting to adjust the deployment. Yu Deshui, the director of the Intelligence Department, sent a top-secret intelligence

, This is important information collected by the ** Division Intelligence Office, the intelligence station in Nanjing, through various means.{}

The content of the intelligence made Tang Qiuli angry and extremely uneasy and worried. From this intelligence, we can at least draw... conclusions. First, the Japanese have changed their attitude towards Chairman Chiang Kai-shek in Nanjing and focused on military strikes.

In order to mainly use inducements, secondly, Nanjing has formed a small circle that opposes itself, and the activity energy of this circle is not small. Thirdly, Chairman Chiang already knows that the Japanese envoy has arrived in Nanjing, but has not expressed his position yet.

This is what Tang Qiuli is most worried about. The Japanese army suffered consecutive defeats in North China, coupled with three defeats on the Songhu battlefield, and lost nearly one million troops. It no longer has the ability to use troops against China on both the northern and southern fronts at the same time.

Choosing this time to send a special envoy to Nanjing shows that the Japanese government and opposition parties have put themselves

As the number one enemy, make peace with the old man and free up your hands to deal with yourself. Then your situation will be even more difficult in the future. After all, you are dealing with the whole country of Japan from a corner of North China. The military and economic strength are very different, so you can only take a defensive stance.

, it is not necessarily known whether the current situation in North China can be maintained.

This is a typical tactic of defeating each other. With Chairman Chiang’s scheming and shrewdness, how could he not see it? Moreover, Dai Li’s Military Command Bureau is not just for nothing. The Japanese envoys jumped up and down in Nanjing and had frequent contacts with senior members of the National Military Commission.

Doesn't he know? There is a small group in Nanjing that opposes him and wants to bring him down or disgrace himself. The old man doesn't know clearly?

All the answers are negative. The old man knows everything, but he has not expressed his position. He is repeatedly weighing the pros and cons, watching, waiting, watching the wind direction, waiting for opportunities. The worst thing is that the old man allows the Japanese envoy to be in Nanjing.

Activities without restrictions, allowing those who oppose him to jump up and down without encouraging or stopping them, this in itself shows a problem. The old man has regarded himself as a more formidable opponent than the Japanese.

Considering using the hands of the Japanese to consume his own power, it is best to fight to the death with the Japanese and fight to the death. Both sides will suffer. He will reap the benefits of others, which will relieve the external troubles and solve the internal troubles. It is just that he kills two birds with one stone.

The strategy was too risky, and it might cost the old man his own family fortune and allow the Japanese to take advantage of it.

Tang Qiuli could even imagine that during this period, Chairman Chiang had consulted countless senior advisers and think tanks for their opinions. It was because the matter was too huge that he could not set a tone, which led to Chairman Chiang's ambiguous attitude today.

He was not even in the mood to smile bitterly. The feeling of being stared at by the Japanese and the old man was really unpleasant and terrifying to him.

The quiet atmosphere in the conference room made Tang Qiuli very uncomfortable. He broke away from the emotions caused by the intelligence and smiled at everyone as if nothing had happened. The military meeting was coming to an end. The generals were very surprised by the division commander's behavior just now. Some

Someone with a bright mind or someone who has experienced many experiences can instinctively feel that the telegram sent by Yu Deshui is not simple.

Among them are General Jiang Baili, the dean of Dingbian Military Academy and the current commander of the cadet brigade of Dingbian Military Academy, and General Feng Zhian, the former deputy commander of the 29th Army and the current chairman of the Dingbian Martyrs Cemetery Management Committee. The division commander did not say,

I had no choice but to return to my respective units with a head full of doubts and adjust the deployment of troops in accordance with the requirements of the meeting.

Tang Qiuli returned to the resting place. Mei Ting and Mei Xue were surprised when they saw his expression and cast their searching eyes on him. Tang Qiuli shook his head and said nothing. The Mei sisters were even more worried and carefully prepared

When the dinner came into his mouth, it tasted like chewed food. He had no idea what it tasted like. His mind was filled with intelligence information, and his mind was so confused that he couldn't figure it out.

After having a hasty dinner, he walked out of the house and took a few guards to the high hill outside Taiyuan City. Under the night, Taiyuan City was deathly silent, with only a few dazzling searchlights swinging constantly, illuminating the snow.

of

The lights were cast on the infinite wilderness outside the city. It was already the beginning of June. The evening breeze of North China brought the breath of early spring, and occasionally the fresh green fragrance and refreshing breath, with the slight fishy smell of earth, came to my face.

.

All of this seemed to have nothing to do with Tang Qiuli. He knew that on this seemingly peaceful spring night, there were countless conspiracies going on in distant Nanjing, and there were still several conspiracies going on in the ripe peach-like Taiyuan City in front of him.

Thousands of wild beasts are glaring with desperate evil eyes and making a death struggle.

Standing for a while in the soft evening breeze, he seemed to have figured out some clues. There was no suspense about Taiyuan. It was only a matter of time before he conquered Taiyuan with a heavy blow. What worried him the most was what happened in Nanjing. If Chiang Kai-shek

The Chairman reached an agreement with the Japanese

, for himself, it was tantamount to a disaster. Anger filled Tang Qiuli's heart. There was a feeling of betrayal. His clenched fists and nails dug deeply into his flesh. The guards around him listened silently.

The teacher's heavy breathing could tell that he was about to burst into anger.

The pain made his mind clear. At this moment, he had made up his mind that he must go to Nanjing in person in order to stop or destroy the Japanese conspiracy, break Chairman Chiang's wishful thinking, and get the best result for himself

, of course he knew the risks involved, Chairman Chiang silently

Xu Japanese envoys are active in Nanjing. If I go there, I am afraid that I will fall into a trap. Zhang Hanqing's example is there, for the sake of the hundreds of thousands of soldiers who follow him, for the sake of driving the little devils out of China, and for the sake of my own heart.

The ideal is that even if Nanjing is like a dragon's pond and a tiger's den, we must try our best.

Now that he had made a decision, he felt much more relaxed. When he returned to the headquarters, he ordered his correspondent to ask for General Jiang Baili and General Feng Zhi'an. There were some things he had to explain. In case he couldn't come back, they were the only two old men around him. After a while,

The sound of hurried footsteps came from outside, and two energetic old generals walked in following each other.

Tang Qiuli did not show any politeness. He briefly introduced the content of the intelligence and told them his decision. After listening to this, Jiang Baili and Feng Zhi'an did not speak. There was an unbearable silence in the room. Jiang Baili glanced at Feng Zhi'an and said calmly.

And with a slight accent from Jiangsu and Zhejiang generations, he said: "Sir, I don't

I agree with you to go to Nanjing. Judging from the content of the intelligence, Nanjing is already a dangerous place. Those people have regarded you as a target that must be eradicated. If you go at this time, the prospect is unpredictable. Furthermore, for him, Mr. Jiang, I

You know it too well. How about Zhang Hanqing, he is still under house arrest?" Feng Zhi'an nodded in agreement.

Tang Qiuli explained his thoughts and the reason why he had to go in detail. The two were silent for a long time. Seeing that they could not stop it, they turned to discuss specific methods. Taiyuan followed the original plan, and the time and plan of the general attack remained unchanged.

, immediately after conquering Taiyuan

He sent troops into the Pingjin area and issued orders in the name of the division commander. While he was in Nanjing, the command of the troops attacking Taiyuan was handed over to General Jiang Baili and General Feng Zhian. The two served as the deputy commander-in-chief respectively and were fully responsible for the military operation to attack Taiyuan.

.

After seeing off the two men, Tang Qiuli immediately issued an order. Tang Qiuquan's special operations detachment immediately handed over the task of annihilating the Japanese army in northern Shanxi to the field troops. The entire detachment immediately sneaked into Nanjing as quickly as possible, and then took Shen Jun and

Yu Deshui

, Shan Hu called in and assigned tasks. All the agents from the Shen Jun Investigation Office and all the agents from the Yu Deshui Intelligence Office immediately entered Nanjing. The Nanjing Intelligence Station of the Intelligence Office was responsible for picking up the people who arrived earlier, and Yu Deshui was responsible for the intermediate coordination.

Shan Hu's security brigade, with the exception of the special guards, entered Nanjing with a high profile. As the advance force of the Vice Chairman, all system personnel who secretly entered Nanjing had only one mission: to capture the Japanese special envoy Tanaka.

Hong Yi, as well as the high-ranking officials and officials who have come into contact with him in the government, no matter who they are, must first control them, and no matter what method is used, they must take out useful things from their mouths, and they must live.

Several people went to prepare separately. Tang Qiuli called in Chen Feng, the director of the communications department, and asked him to share the news that he was going to Nanjing in the near future. Through various means, he let the major newspapers in Nanjing and the country know about the news.

Bigger is better. Tang Qiuli used both light and dark methods to seize evidence here and go to Nanjing in a high-profile way.

, how many pairs of eyes are watching his every move. If the old man wants to take action, he has to consider the consequences. In addition, with the support of hundreds of thousands of troops and the territory he has conquered, it is expected that Chairman Chiang would not dare to do this under such circumstances.

, he had to weigh the importance of attacking himself at this time. Tang Qiuli is not Zhang Xueliang.

He just wanted to make the matter of going to Nanjing known to everyone. Seeing that Chairman Chiang dared to take action in front of everyone, perhaps, from this moment on, irreparable differences have already arisen between Tang Qiuli and Chairman Chiang.

The rift is doomed to part ways, the face and the heart are not in harmony, each is on guard, and he can't help but feel a little lonely in his heart. As fate dictates, he can only comfort himself in this way.

He also reported the news that he was going to Nanjing to the commanders of each corps, so as not to worry them. After finishing all this work, it was already past eleven o'clock in the night. With a complicated mood, he returned to the resting place and saw from a distance

, the swaying lights in the room, the two beautiful silhouettes on the window, Mei Ting and Mei Xue were not sleeping yet, waiting for him, warm ripples appeared in Tang Qiuli's heart.

He did not go in immediately, but stayed outside the window, admiring carefully. The spring night breeze lifted the corners of his clothes from time to time. It seemed that he had not felt such a tranquility and peace for a long time. From time to time, there was a burst of sound in Taiyuan City.

The faint sound of gunfire made the night even more silent.

Several guards glanced at each other. The teacher's behavior was very strange tonight, but what Tang Qiuli was thinking about was how to convince Mei Ting and Mei Xue not to go to Nanjing this time.
