Age of Conquest Reborn

Chapter 905: No smoke without fire.

Tang Qiuli's visit to Germany lasted more than ten days. What he was worried about before leaving, that Japan would launch a new attack in the south, did not happen. This made him very strange. Is there something wrong with his memory? Or was it?

The Japanese have a new conspiracy, and the situation in the Far East is just like that. No matter how hard the Japanese try, they don't have much hope. They can march into the Ural Mountains and drink their horses on the banks of the Volga River, unless they kill all Zhukov's hundreds of thousands of people on the Far East Front.{}

As for the Japanese who are satisfied with the status quo and no longer have ambitions, if anyone says this, Tang Qiuli can knock out his big teeth. To prevent the wolf from eating meat, the only way is to break off all the wolf's teeth, put down the butcher knife and become a Buddha immediately.

This sentence does not apply to the Japanese. Therefore, Tang Qiuli instinctively felt that it was abnormal for the Japanese to be so quiet. What are they called monsters? If they are abnormal, they are monsters.

Therefore, among the welcoming crowd at Dingbian Airport, I saw Yang Ketian, Chief of Staff of the *** Division, Yu Deshui, Chief of Intelligence Division, and Shen Jun, Chief of Investigation Division, who were stationed at the former enemy command post of the Nationalist Government Military Committee and Nanjing Camp.

When they returned to Dingbian together, Tang Qiuli felt that there must be a reason.

These three people, together with Zhou Yushan, deputy director of the ** Division's Logistics Department and commander of the Transportation Command, were his thorns in the Nanjing camp. Yang Ketian was in charge of military work, Yu Deshui was in charge of intelligence, and Shen Jun had the heaviest burden.

One eye was on the senior officials in the Nationalist Government, and the other eye was on the Japanese spies, and the internal situation of the Japanese Army.

Originally, he wanted to talk to the three of them immediately, but he had to deal with the situation. Looking at the large banner on the airport "Warmly welcome Chairman Tang back from his visit to Germany", Tang Qiuli knew that this scene was inevitable.

Afterwards, in his heart, he was not very satisfied with Liu Hanzhang making such a big noise.

To put it bluntly, he was just disgusted, but it was hard to say anything. Liu Hanzhang should have done this from the perspective of inspiring others, which was understandable. It was just that Tang Qiuli was not used to it, so he could only ask Chen Feng, the director of communications, to inform Yang Ketian and the others to participate.

The interview will be held after the welcome ceremony.

The military and political circles in Dingbian held a simple welcome ceremony at the Dingbian Special Economic Zone Hotel. Tang Qiuli introduced the results of his visit to Germany. Of course, he did not say many confidential things. As long as he knew what he knew, there was no need to shout so loudly that everyone in the street knew about it.

, at the welcome ceremony, Tang Qiuli put these German scientists at the forefront.

Those German scientists are easy to say, but the feelings of the Jewish scientists are completely different. Since the Nazi Party came to power, the Jews in Germany have been in bad luck. I don’t know why the Führer hates the Jews so much. First of all,

Depriving property, then personal freedom, and ruthlessly destroying everything from spirit to body.

These Jewish scientists lived a precarious life, and they were not afraid of anything. Maybe at some point, a group of SS soldiers broke into their homes, and the fate that followed was beyond their control. In fact, Tang Qiuli was

When these lists were made, Hitler threw these Jewish scientists away like garbage, but Tang Qiuli picked up the treasure.

The treatment Tang Qiuli gave them was just two words "respect", from material to personal respect. In Germany, these Jewish scientists would lose their lives at any time. Today, on the land of China, these Jewish scientists are living with their tail between their legs.

Being treated as honored guests and the changes in heaven and earth made them burst into tears of gratitude to Tang Qiuli.

Other non-Jewish scientists were originally reluctant to work in a poor and backward China, but who dared not obey the orders of the head of state? The sights they saw on the way from the airport to the hotel made these arrogant

The Germanic people almost dropped their jaws in shock. They had an illusion in a daze. If it weren't for the rows of Chinese signs, the pedestrians on the street all had oriental faces. They really thought they were coming to a modern metropolis in Europe. In their hearts,

The feeling that I thought it was a drudgery has faded a lot.

After the welcome ceremony, Tang Qiuli left Liu Hanzhang, vice chairman of the Military and Political Committee of Dingbian Special Economic Zone and mayor of Dingbian Special City, and heads of relevant departments to study how to relocate these German scientists. Tang Qiuli had only one request:

To give these treasures the best treatment, the SAR Finance Bureau will allocate a special amount of funds to purchase experimental equipment according to the requirements of these scientists. Don't be afraid of spending money. These were the last words Tang Qiuli left to Liu Hanzhang.

After coming out of the conference room, she saw Mei Xue waiting for her at the end of the corridor. When she saw him coming out, Mei Xue hurriedly came forward and said, "Qiu Li, dad just called and asked us to go home for dinner. I want to hear from you by the way."

What I saw in Germany, do you want to go back now? The car is waiting outside."

This is an invitation from his father-in-law. Normally, Tang Qiuli would definitely go, but not today. Yang Ketian and the others are still waiting for him. "Xue'er, you go home first and explain to dad. I don't know when we can talk."

Finished," Mei Xue hesitated for a moment, then said: "There is also sister, I want you to go back," Tang Qiuli could only smile bitterly. From the moment he got off the plane to now, he had no time to spare. Why didn't he want to take a good rest, but he was sick?

By yourself.

After stroking his wife's long black hair, Tang Qiuli said softly: "Xue'er, you know what to say when you go back." Mei Xue glared at him and said, "If you want me to go back and put in a good word for you, dad can do that, but sister

You have to go through that test yourself," after saying that, she gave him a naughty smile and walked away.

Looking at Mei Xue's plump figure, Tang Qiuli stayed for a while, and then, with a self-deprecating smile, he walked into an office. Yang Ketian, Yu Deshui, and Shen Jun were already waiting for him, and they seemed to look a little heavy.

Tang Qiuli was not polite and asked directly: "Tell me, what problems have arisen in Chongqing and Nanjing?" Chief of Staff Yang Ketian answered first: "Commander, there have been no major changes in the military aspect. However, let's

What is puzzling is that the General Office of the National Military Commission directly issued an order. Zhang Zhizhong’s troops of the Central Army stationed in the Songhu area have recently been transferred to the southwest in large numbers. The defense in the Songhu area is almost empty.”

Tang Qiuli raised his eyebrows, what is Chairman Jiang going to do? Not even want his money bag and lifeline? Unusually, "Have you contacted General Zhang Zhizhong? What did General Zhang say?" "I have contacted him, so Nanjing

In the name of the camp, Zhang Zhizhong is also extremely dissatisfied with this matter, and his remonstrances are ineffective. There are rumors that General Zhang may be transferred to the position of director of the Training Directorate of the Military Commission." Yang Ketian answered ably.

Tang Qiuli's heart skipped a beat. The door to Shanghai was almost open. There was a conspiracy here. The transfer of Zhang Zhizhong was a signal. The main force of the Central Army in the Songhu area was transferred to the west. It was not just as simple as preserving strength. With the old man's

Due to his personality, it is impossible for him to let go of Shanghai, which he regards as a forbidden area, but which song is this song from?

"Who will take over the position of General Zhang?" He then asked, "It is said to be Gu Zhutong. In the near future, the Military Commission will issue an order to appoint Gu Zhutong as the commander of the Songhu Regional Security Command," Yang Ketian replied

Dao, this is easy to understand. Although Zhang Zhizhong and Gu Zhutong are both close confidants of the old man, there is a distinction between closeness and distance. Chairman Chiang is worried about Zhang Zhizhong being too close to him.

Gu Zhutong is by no means the best candidate to defend the Songhu area. Compared with Zhang Zhizhong, he is not even a little worse. Although this person has high qualifications in the Central Military System, he has made few achievements and has no military talent.

He has no friendship with me at all. The reason why he enjoys the official career is entirely because he is loyal to Chairman Chiang and is obedient.

"Now, how many defense forces are there in the Songhu area?" Tang Qiuli then asked, "The 87th Division of the Central Military Commission, four regiments of the Jiangsu Provincial Security Corps, and five detachments of the Shanghai Police Corps, a total of more than 40,000 people

Military strength, but, strangely, eight

The 17th Division is stationed in the pontoon area to the west of Shanghai. It does not defend front-line positions such as Wusongkou. Moreover, it usually retains a large number of ships. According to General Zhang Zhizhong, this is an order personally issued by Chairman Chiang Kai-shek," Yang Ketian answered in detail

arrive.

Tang Qiuli almost slammed the table. In the huge Shanghai and Songhu areas, there is only one 87th Division with more than 15,000 regular troops. The others are all local troops. They don't even have a few heavy machine guns, especially which one

The Jiangsu Provincial Security Corps is not even a miscellaneous force. The Japanese only need to send one or two divisions to take Shanghai within a few days.

The Eighty-seventh Division's defense position is absolutely abnormal. The main force is not deployed on the front line, but close to the Yangtze River. It also controls a large number of ships. It is clear that it is ready to run away at any time. Who will leave the greater Shanghai and Songhu areas?

It couldn't be him. Tang Qiuli suddenly had a terrible thought. The Chongqing government would not have reached some kind of secret agreement with the Japanese, acquiescing to the Japanese occupation of Shanghai, or in other words, leaving this huge defense to him.

.

Let yourself fight the Japanese desperately, thereby consuming the strength of the North China Army. Facing such a big bait, the Japanese will not fail to take the bait, and will inevitably gather heavy troops to invade. Seeing Tang Qiuli's ugly face, Yang Ketian was cautious again

He said: "Commander, there is another important situation. The Central Army troops defending the front line of Hangzhou Bay have also been evacuated in the near future. The direction of the evacuation is the southwest region. The defense of the Hangzhou Bay area has been handed over to the Zhejiang Provincial Security Corps."

I understand, Chairman Chiang really had this idea, to shrink his direct troops to the southwest region, and watch himself fighting with the Japanese. He was responsible for commanding the entire army and lost the city and territory. He couldn't afford this.

The charge was that the direct troops could only be used to fill the defense vacancy left by the Central Army. Gu Zhutong sat in Shanghai, no battles were fought, and the money was still collected. Tang Qiuli lost his troops and generals, and Chairman Chiang made a fortune.

Tang Qiuli was so angry that he almost scolded his mother. Just to defend Songhu and Hangzhou Bay, it would not be enough for him to have one main force, and a large number of troops would be involved. This move to drive out tigers and wolves, and to draw out wages from the bottom of the cauldron, was very powerful.
