Age of Conquest Reborn

Chapter 713: Taking office as Commander-in-Chief of Air Defense

At the plenary meeting of the Nanjing Military Commission, Tang Qiuli smashed a series of conspiracies against himself. However, deep down in his heart, because of what he encountered and saw after arriving in Nanjing, he was angered by the Japanese and by the people.

The extreme disgust caused by the ugly behavior of the government officials who were behind the conspiracy accumulated in my heart and reached the point where I couldn't stop it.

I really want to make a big fuss over this, to give these fat-minded officials who only know how to fight in a nest, to fight everywhere, and to give a warning to Chairman Chiang who wants to get rid of himself and appease the Japanese. But, he can't, there is nothing.

Can't say, including what I already have in my hands

All the materials were not allowed to be revealed even a single word. It was a pleasure to throw a bomb, but the consequences were not what he wanted to see. If we work together, we will both benefit, and if we divide, we will both lose. Openly with Chairman Chiang Kai-shek

The only people who would benefit from a breakup would be the Japanese, who are determined to destroy China.

Tang Qiuli suppressed the turmoil in his heart, and scanned the whole place with sharp eyes. As if they were real, he penetrated the most hidden corners of everyone's heart, making those officials who had ulterior motives, including Jiang, feel frightened in their hearts.

Everyone, including the chairman, paid all their attention to him to see if the young vice-chairman who had just been talking about him had any other shocking words.

Among them, none are more worried than Chairman Chiang Kai-shek and Japan's special envoy Tanaka Koichi. He has always been worried about not seeing people alive or dead. If they fall into the hands of political opponents and reveal all the inside stories, he, the Republic of China,

leader

, why do you call on the people, and how do you have the face to face the doubts of the people? Because of nervousness, Chairman Chiang’s hand holding the water glass trembled slightly. Yang Yongtai, who was sitting in the audience, saw that the old man was already a little confused, and was secretly worried.

.

"Everyone, in China today, especially in North China, although the Japanese have repeatedly failed, their ambition to subjugate China will never die. The Kwantung Army is preparing its military strength to enter the Pass and compete with our North China Army for the key areas of Ping and Tianjin, and restart its march southward.

The ambition to occupy our fertile land in the south of the Yangtze River." At this point, Tang Qiuli paused deliberately to observe the reactions of the officials.

There are those who are shocked, and there are those who are gloating, but there is no sympathy or those who share the same hatred with the enemy. There are some worried looks, which makes Tang Qiuli feel a lot of warmth in his heart. Tang Qiuli has a panoramic view of all the reactions, and the conversation suddenly changes.

, "Since the end of the Battle of Songhu, the Japanese were defeated in Hangzhou Bay, and there has been no fighting in the south of the Yangtze River. Therefore, everyone feels that the south of the Yangtze River has been destroyed.

Away from the flames of war, the Japanese bayonets can sing and dance in the far north, and enjoy a peaceful and prosperous age. Don't you know that when you are paralyzed, who is clearly aware that the prosperous place in the south of the Yangtze River, the most beautiful area in Nanjing, is about to...

Are we facing the raging flames of war and the calamity of weapons?" After the words fell, lingering sounds lingered, and the huge conference room fell into a deathly silence.

It was sensational. All the conflicts of interests and intrigues just now were forgotten. They were all stunned by Tang Qiuli's ground-breaking conclusion. It was unbelievable. It was Vice Chairman Tang who was pretending to make shocking remarks to please the public.

, or he has ulterior motives to show his foresight, but you can't help but believe his words. Who among the people present has fought more battles with the Japanese than him? Has he fought with the Japanese for a long time? No, not one of them.

Chairman Chiang has completely forgotten his inner worries. If what Tang Qiuli said is true, and the Japanese are going to take action in the south again, the first people to bear the brunt will be the Songhu area and the areas that he regards as his lifeline and money bag.

Nanjing, this is where his fundamental interests lie. The reason why he sacrifices his family wealth to fight the Japanese is to maintain the foundation of his rule. This is where the country lies. He is more anxious than anyone else and is eager to know the basis for drawing this conclusion.

.

"Qiu Li, please tell me in detail." Chairman Jiang used his cold eyes to stop the various expressions of the officials and said eagerly. He had forgotten that the young man in front of him was the one who had spent all his efforts.

"Bring the map to those who want to be eradicated," Tang Qiuli ordered succinctly. Two bodyguards and adjutants had already prepared a huge map of the Republic of China.

Tang Qiuli faced the map and combined it with the comparison of national and military power between China and Japan, the wars that had occurred over the past year, the important geographical location of the Songhu area and Nanjing in the Yangtze River Basin, its status in the minds of all the people, and its political significance, etc.

aspect, talk eloquently, finally

, he said: "It can be inferred that the Japanese will definitely take action in the Nanjing-Shanghai-Hangzhou area in the near future. The first target will be Nanjing, and the combat method will be to use its superior air power to carry out air strikes on our capital.

, in an attempt to destroy the will of our military and civilians to resist.”

As soon as the words were spoken, the categorical assertion, the unquestionable basis, the high-level analysis, the thorough grasp of the current situation, the confident demeanor, and the iron-clad facts were like heavy bombs, blowing up the heads of the state government present.

The members were so excited that their blood flowed, their eyes were filled with stars, and they were dazed. For a moment, they could not react. The only sound in the audience was heavy breathing, but it became increasingly dull and depressing.

Silence, deathly silence, Tang Qiuli's words brought all the officials into horrific imaginations. The roaring Japanese fighter planes, the overwhelming bombs, the sky-high fireworks, the ruins and rubble everywhere, perhaps, they first thought of

Yes, it’s my own mansion and compound to distribute Nanjing’s industries. Then

All the hard work of a lifetime will be wiped out in the flames of the bomb explosion. I shuddered in my heart, and cast my hazy, helpless but expectant eyes on the stage. No inner fluctuations could be seen, and the expression was indifferent.

Tang Qiuli, perhaps, only this person can help him avoid losses.

Those officials who actively wanted to bring down Tang Qiuli and who frequently interacted with Japanese special envoy Tanaka Koichi only wanted to get rid of Tang Qiuli. They never considered that Japanese bombs would fall on their heads.

They felt a little regretful, but it was because their own interests were about to be lost. As for the safety of Nanjing's millions of citizens, they had not considered it at all. Some people were even considering retreat and how to transfer their industries as soon as possible.

Chairman Chiang was more frightened than anyone else. It was too scary. No matter how deep his prejudices and fears were against Tang Qiuli, he believed that everything Tang Qiuli said would really happen. The Second Battle of Songhu

At that time, Japanese planes bombed downtown Shanghai. What the Japanese wanted was the whole of China. How could Nanjing escape the war and survive alone?

Now, there needs to be a way to avoid such a thing from happening. Although he was full of reluctance, he still turned his attention to Tang Qiuli, who was sitting calmly. Maybe, this young man who has become a problem for him will have some troubles.

Tang Qiuli remained calm on the surface, but was secretly happy in his heart. The horrific scene he painted for these officials finally scared them, including Chairman Chiang, and he achieved his goal.

The topic of the meeting was completely changed according to Tang Qiuli's will. There were fierce discussions and fierce competition around how to deal with the upcoming Japanese bombing. Everyone wanted to win the greatest benefits for themselves, including the evacuated people.

Both time and scale had to be negotiated. Tang Qiuli didn't say a word and seemed very aloof. He even disdained the faces and ugly looks of these officials. He knew that he would be the one to end things in the end.

The meeting finally reached a resolution to establish the Nanjing Air Defense Headquarters, which was fully responsible for the air defense affairs of the capital Nanjing. Among Tang Qiuli's many titles, he added another one and was appointed as the commander-in-chief of the Nanjing Air Defense Headquarters. According to the authorization of the Military Commission, the air defense

The General Headquarters has great authority. All government departments of the government must obey the arrangements and can mobilize various military, police, gendarmerie, and intelligence units in Nanjing and surrounding areas at any time to coordinate operations.

Relevant units have no right to refuse the orders of the Air Defense Headquarters. If there is any disobedience, the Commander-in-Chief has the right to deal with it on the spot. In other words, Tang Qiuli's current position is equivalent to the city defense commander in wartime, and can uniformly promote Nanjing and other departments.

All the military, manpower and material resources in the surrounding areas were equivalent to controlling all the power in Nanjing. Chairman Chiang also took a gamble. He was betting that Tang Qiuli had no intention of murdering him.

Tang Qiuli was naturally happy, but Chen Guofu and Ye Xiufeng, director of the Bureau of Central Statistics who attended the meeting, were bitter. Chen Guofu had always regarded Tang Qiuli as his number one opponent, and the entire Bureau of Central Statistics also had a crush on Tang Qiuli.

If you want to get rid of them quickly, now that you have fallen into his hands, instead of just being manipulated and making things difficult for you, it is very possible to find an excuse to kill the generals of the Central Bureau of Statistics and cause the Central Bureau of Statistics to bleed.

Even if he strongly opposed it, there was no legitimate reason, and it would only arouse public anger. He had no choice but to lament his misfortune and lamented "Thirty years in the east of Hedong and thirty years in the west of Hexi." Dai Li, who attended the meeting, was in a different mood. He and the military commander

Dai Li has always maintained a good personal relationship with Tang Qiuli, and in the process of his rise, Dai Li also received many encouragements and favors from Tang Qiuli. This time he was put under the command of Tang Qiuli, without any psychological barriers or barriers.

.

Dai Li was happy, but he was thinking about another thing. He knew that Tang Qiuli had a bad relationship with the Central Bureau of Unification.

In front of the chairman of the committee, he was very willing to do something to inflict maggots on the Central Bureau of Statistics, attack his competitors, and use the help of Vice Chairman Tang to severely weaken the Central Bureau of Statistics.

Therefore, Dai Li was full of energy. He stepped in front of Tang Qiuli, stood at attention and saluted, and said loudly: "Commander-in-Chief Tang, Dai Li, who holds a humble position, and all my colleagues in the Military Command Bureau are at your disposal at any time. They will go through fire and water without hesitation." He was overjoyed and determined to fight.

His attitude was too positive. Dai Li suddenly thought, what would Chairman Chiang think of him?

Thinking of the old man's cold gaze, Dai Li shuddered, and his excitement was replaced by a cold sweat. Looking secretly, Chairman Jiang's face was calm, but the cold light in his eyes was keenly captured by the shrewd Dai Li.

When he arrived, he was even more panicked, thinking about how to smooth this situation so as to eliminate the old man's suspicion.
