Bourne: Command and Conquer

Chapter 1136, Mutiny

Finished the phone call.

Zhang Yong slowly put down the microphone.

Hu Zongnan's words are a bit confusing. He didn't quite understand.

Maybe it’s because I can’t say too much detail on the phone. Therefore, Hu Zongnan finally mentioned that he would send someone else to contact him.

When interviewed.

What to talk about?

Don't understand.

Look back. Look at the elephant wall.

"Commissioner."

"There is something..."

Zhang Yong stopped talking.

He really didn't understand. Need to clear up confusion.

Wave.

He motioned to Lu Xiangbi and him to go outside and talk.

The two walked outside.

"Just now, Chief Hu said on the phone that he had arrested thousands of gangsters..."

"several thousand?"

"Yes. Thousands. No exact figures."

"You said you want to hand the person over to the commissioner?"

"Yes."

Zhang Yong nodded.

This was where he was confused.

What do you want me to do with the gangsters captured by Hu Zongnan?

I am the Inspector General. Not a shelter.

What do you want to do by sending thousands of people here at once? Do you want me to take care of the food?

Please, I am responsible for my own profits and losses and pay for it myself!

"actually…"

"Say what you have to say. If I can be trusted."

"What Chief Hu arrested may not be gangsters, but ordinary people. Refugees and so on. And then..."

"Killing good people and taking credit?"

"It's not that serious. It's just a false report of achievements."

"Thousands of people..."

"Chief Hu hopes that you can help him repay his merits."

"I?"

"It will be more credible if you report it."

"Yeah?"

Zhang Yong tilted his head. Think carefully.

That seems to be the case. If you brag too often, you will be suspected.

However, if it were another person to apply, then...

Especially if Zhang Yong reported it, no one would doubt it. Even if you have doubts, you dare not say anything.

Otherwise, you will offend two big bosses at the same time. Why bother?

No one in the Military and Administrative Department is stupid.

"It's okay for me to report to him. But people..."

"If they are ordinary people, they are willing to stay. It is just in time to increase the number of troops."

"oh?"

Zhang Yong's eyes lit up.

Yes. It seems to be possible!

What the 107th Division needs most now is to recruit more troops!

People, the more the better.

It would be best if thousands of people come at once. Fill them all up.

As veterans who were separated before come back one after another, the number of people in the 107th Division has increased to more than 5,000.

However, five thousand people is still too few. On the battlefield, it cannot be used.

Wang Yaowu's 51st Division also had several thousand men.

The 87th, 88th and other main divisions all have about 12,000 people.

No matter what, it must be close to 10,000 people. That's a bit of combat effectiveness.

It must be known that once the Songhu Battle begins, the consumption of troops will be very large. And it’s hard to get refills.

Continuous rotation. Day and night. There was no time for new recruits to be deployed from the rear.

No one expected that the troop casualties would be so heavy. Replenishment from the rear can only meet one-fifth of the needs of the front line.

The final result was that many troops had their designations revoked.

An army was reduced to a division. A division was reduced to a brigade or even a regiment.

Where can the 107th Division go to get replenishment? Zhang Yong doesn’t know either.

Therefore, we should fill it with as many people as we can now.

"Report."

The officer on duty arrives. Send the latest telegram.

Zhang Yong reached out and took the telegram. It was found that it was sent by the 67th Army Headquarters. Forward the telegram from the Ministry of Military Affairs.

The Ministry of Military Affairs requested that the 67th Army and the 57th Army set off soon to deploy and defend Anhui.

The other three armies, including the 49th, 51st, and 53rd armies, were also deployed to defend the Central Plains area. Leave northwest.

"The boots finally hit the ground..." Lu Xiangbi sighed.

"Let's go to Suzhou." Zhang Yong said calmly, "I will communicate with the Ministry of Military Affairs."

"Maybe..." Lu Xiangbi hesitated.

"What?" Zhang Yong found that Lao Lu was too worried about the country and the people. His face was full of pain.

In fact, Lu Xiangbi was only forty-five years old. Considered middle-aged. But it looks like he is in his final years.

I guess everyone has been suffering a lot in the past few years.

Retreat without a fight. The three eastern provinces were surrendered. Being reviled by the common people. He was criticized verbally and written by various princes.

Especially those literati and poets, it would be better if they were not scolded to death.

inability. coward. Traitor. Various crimes.

They themselves don't know how to turn over. How to wash away shame.

"Nothing." Lu Xiangbi did not elaborate.

"Then I'll call Commander Wu first." Zhang Yong changed the topic.

Return to the division headquarters.

Call the 67th Army headquarters directly.

"I'm Zhang Yong. Inspector. I'm looking for your Commander Wu."

"Your Excellency, Mr. Wu Keren, a humble official."

"Commander Wu, you lead the 108th Division to implement the order of the Military and Political Ministry. The 107th Division has other arrangements. You can just tell the Military and Political Ministry directly."

"yes."

"that's all…"

"etc!"

"Commander Wu, what's the matter with you? You can just tell me."

"When will the Commissioner be free? This is a humble job..."

"Commander Wu, leading the troops well and resolutely executing orders is the best way to gain the trust of the commission."

"yes…"

"that's all."

Zhang Yong hung up the phone.

He understood that Wu Keren wanted to set up a relationship.

Since Wang Yizhe was killed, the treatment of the 67th Army has also been relatively poor.

In other words, the treatment of all Northeastern troops is very bad.

Adhering to Jiang's wishes, the Ministry of Military Affairs used coercion and inducement to induce the Northeast Army to mobilize defenses in the Central Plains.

In the Central Plains area, all the surrounding areas are surrounded by the Huangpu-type national army. The Northeastern Army was dispersed and assigned to different defense areas.

This is clear, if there is any abnormal movement, it will be eliminated immediately.

At the same time, all food and salary payments will be suspended.

They were ordered to be mobilized and completed after arriving in the new defense area.

In fact, to put it bluntly, it is a threat. If you don't leave the northwest, your food and salary will not be paid.

At the same time, Hu Zongnan led the First Army and was stationed in the northwest.

Temporarily stationed in Xianyang.

Tang Enbo led the Second Army to station in Tongguan.

It formed a pincer attack situation from east to west against the Northeastern Army distributed around Xi'an.

You have to go. You have to go if you don’t want to.

Now, the telegram from the Ministry of Military Affairs has officially arrived, indicating that there is no room for maneuver.

On Chen Cheng's side, a group of Huangpu officers have been prepared. When the Northeast Army mobilizes to defend the Central Plains, it will be immediately deployed to various Northeast Army units.

At the same time, the Political Training Office has also been online. When the Northeast Army arrives in the new defense area, the Political Training Department will fully monitor it.

"It's useless to stay." Zhang Yong said bluntly.

"Yes." Lu Xiangbi was silent.

As an old man from the Northeast Army, of course I feel quite emotional.

The once glorious Northeastern Army came to an end in this way. Everyone went their separate ways.

With the arrival of Huangpu officers and the supervision of the Political Training Department, the Northeast Army in the future will no longer be the Northeast Army. Annihilated.

"Mr. Lu, it's useless to think too much."

"yes."

"No matter what faction they belong to, as long as they are under Zhang Yong's supervision, I will treat them equally."

"yes."

"I am not from the Huangpu family. So, you don't need to worry that I will become a Huangpu family."

"yes."

"The order given to me by the commission is to take three divisions to garrison in Suzhou. In addition to the 107th Division, what other suggestions do you have?"

"If you need strong combat effectiveness, naturally it is the 49th Army and the 51st Army. They were the main force of the young commander..."

"Those who are strong in combat may not be needed by others. The Military and Administrative Department is also keeping an eye on me."

"The ones with relatively weak combat effectiveness are the 112th Division and the 130th Division. They are also a bit confused now."

"112 and 130?"

"yes."

"good."

Zhang Yong was thoughtful.

It’s not that he likes fish belly. There is no choice.

He is a young man who is called a pretty boy behind his back and has no battlefield experience. How can he convince the public?

Those teams with strong combat effectiveness simply didn't have any support for him.

Even if you obey on the surface, you are obeying in disguise. Why should he stick to other people's cold ass?

On the contrary, build several fish-belly troops. Bringing it out slowly with one hand makes it easier to control. Everyone is our own people.

One thing is clear.

That is, he can reject the Huangpu clique and the Political Training Department.

I, Zhang Yong, am the inspector. What political training office do you send? roll! I will set up a political training office myself!

The officers of the Huangpu Clan are so valuable, and I don’t need them either. I train officers myself.

Of course, there are some outstanding Huangpu officers who can be recruited by themselves when heroes from other armies have no use.

The best way is to ask the red side for help.

Cheating.

You must give even if you give.

You have to give even if you don’t give.

Otherwise, from now on these teams will all be Chiang Kai-shek's confidants. It's up to you!

Ha ha!

See if you don’t help me!

Then I will really become a reactionary!

Laughing to death.

"Commissioner?"

"Commissioner?"

"It's okay. I thought of something funny."

"But you didn't smile..."

"Yeah?"

"Hahaha!"

"Hahaha!"

He added with three dry laughs. Earned with pride.

Suddenly something feels wrong...

Political Training Department…

Where did it come from?

Who is responsible? Comrade Jianfeng?

Oh haha!

That's bad!

I'm going to have a falling out with Comrade Jianfeng.

But there is no way. He couldn't have it both ways. Now that I have decided to take the lady route. Comrade Jianfeng and I can only regretfully part ways.

Victory in the War of Resistance. Get out now.

afternoon.

The people sent by Hu Zongnan arrived.

He also looks like a master. Wearing a long gown. Wearing sunglasses.

This Chief Hu!

There seem to be many such masters around me?

I suspect that Chief Hu has begun to lose his ambition and likes to play tricks.

"Your Majesty Commissioner."

"Sir Hu sent you here?"

"yes."

"What's the matter? Please tell me."

"This is a little thought from Chief Hu, please accept it."

"Since Chief Hu is so thoughtful, I will not be respectful. As long as I, Zhang Yong, can do it, I will definitely do it."

"Actually, it's all small things..."

Master is very good at talking. Zhang Yong focused on making money.

The small gift sent by Hu Zongnan was a silver note worth ten thousand yuan. Hong Kong Bank. Not legal tender.

All high-level bosses already know that there is a problem with the fiat currency.

The Kong family of the Ministry of Finance started the printing press and printed non-stop day and night. It was only a matter of time before it collapsed.

Therefore, hoarding fiat currency is impossible.

If you use legal currency to make a gift, others will not like it.

Dayang is more popular.

Of course, dollars, pounds, gold bars are better.

"Master..."

"After Chief Hu came to the northwest, he was proactive and eliminated many bandits, many of whom were red bandits..."

"Red Bandit? Are you sure?"

"Of course. They are all hidden red bandits."

"I see."

Zhang Yong gradually captured the other party's thoughts.

Gangsters don't matter. Quantity doesn't matter. Importantly, there is a red background. It is the color red that the committee hates the most.

After returning to Jinling safely, what Jiang hated most was not the one who arrested him. Instead, I felt like there was someone instigating me behind my back. I hate the color red. However, the message to stop the civil war and cooperate with the Kuomintang and the Communist Party has been sent out again. It is impossible to slap yourself in the face and tear it up publicly. So I can only hold it in...

This Chief Hu is worthy of being the emperor's first disciple, and he is very capable of understanding Jiang's thoughts. Knowing that he hated the color red, he arrested a bunch of "red bandits" to report his crimes, which was also a way to soothe Jiang's injured soul. However, he reported directly and was not very convincing. After Zhang Yong, it will be appropriate.

My heart felt uncomfortable after being seated, and immediately felt like drinking ice water, which was unprecedentedly comfortable.

Why?

Because the committee members knew that Zhang Yong was the most ruthless in killing the Red Party members.

When he took over the Army's No. 1 Prison, he went into action late at night without saying a word and secretly executed a large number of Red Party members.

He also took all the responsibilities on himself. It has nothing to do with him, Jiang.

No one would tell Jiang the truth.

then…

"How many people are there in total?"

"Three thousand five hundred. The real deal."

"so much?"

"right."

"Okay, bring it here."

"good."

Master immediately went to make arrangements.

Zhang Yong also ordered the 107th Division to send a battalion to take over.

That night, all the "Red Bandits" finally returned to the 107th Division's station. Thirty-five hundred people, indeed.

but!

There aren't any yellow spots.

In other words, there is no real red party.

This Hu Zongnan!

What a fool!

No wonder my crotch will stretch out so much when fighting in the future.

All the thoughts are spent on these crooked ways.

but…

For him, Zhang Yong is a good thing.

Because those sent were all strong men.

The specific identity cannot be determined at the moment. But they can all carry guns.

So, without saying a word, he was directly incorporated into the 107th Division. As a new recruit. How can you not accept what is delivered to your door?

As for how they will perform in the future, that is a matter for the future.

Now it's just a matter of cramming.

"Please go back and tell Chief Hu that I know how to deal with it."

"Thanks."

"please."

Arrange for someone to send Master away.

Then draft a telegram and send it to the attendant's office.

Of course, this kind of thing cannot be said publicly, it can only be reported secretly.

Now is the stage of cooperation between the Kuomintang and the Communist Party!

Since it was a secret report, no one would pursue it.

then…

Hu Zongnan gained face, and Zhang Yong gained dignity.

Jiang's mood also improved.

Triple win.

Perfect.

Sure enough, with the 3,500 men added, the number of soldiers of the 107th Division exceeded 8,000.

It finally looks a bit like it. Like a teacher.

But the weapons were insufficient again.

Alas, it is true.

If there is too much water, add noodles; if there is too much noodles, add water...

"Bang!"

"Bang!"

Suddenly there was gunfire.

The sound of gunfire was faint. The distance is judged to be 700 meters away.

I didn't even care at first.

Gunshots, normal.

Maybe the soldiers fired?

But things quickly went wrong. But the division headquarters is busy.

The staff phone kept ringing.

"What?"

"Is it the 112th Division?"

"Look carefully!"

"Are they really from the 112th Division? You need to see clearly."

"Asshole! What are they going to do?"

The sound was a mess.

After a few minutes, preliminary information was sorted out.

The 112th Division, which is stationed next to the 107th Division, has some troops attacking the 107th Division's defense area. The request is passed.

The front line reported that the other party was carrying weapons. He also fired threats into the air.

Zhang Yong looked at the Lu Xiangbi.

"What is this 112th Division going to do?"

"Possibly a mutiny."

"Mutiny?"

"Telegram from the Ministry of Military Affairs."

"oh."

Zhang Yong understood.

Sure enough, the situation in the northwest was in chaos.

The Ministry of Military Affairs requested that all the Northeastern Army be mobilized to defend the Central Plains. Some people must be unhappy.

So some people incited the soldiers to make trouble.

As it happens, the 107th Division is the weakest. Attack the 107th Division and kill the chicken to show the monkey.

"Location of conflict."

"Bainixiang."

"How many of us are there?"

"A company."

"Assemble reinforcements immediately. Fully armed."

"yes."

"Authorize the frontline troops. Just say it's my order, Zhang Yong. Fire a warning shot into the sky. If the opponent forces a forceful attack, shoot directly."

"yes."

The chief of staff rushed to deliver the order.

The atmosphere in the division suddenly became tense. Lu Xiangbi was ready to leave.

He wanted to lead the troops to Baini Township in person.

Zhang Yong agreed.

This is the correct way to handle a crisis.

He and Lu Xiangbi divided the work and collaborated. Lu Xiangbi is on the front line. He Zhang Yong is at the center.

"Order the entire division to enter level one combat readiness!"

"yes."

"Send a report! Clear code! Warn the 112th Division! Leaving the camp without permission and attacking the defense areas of other troops is a very serious provocation. Order them all to evacuate within an hour. Otherwise, you will be responsible for the consequences. Signature: Inspector of the Military and Political Committee , Zhang Yong!”

"yes."

The chief of staff went in a hurry.

Zhang Yong looked at the map on the wall. Many errors and omissions were found.

It is completely incomparable to the system's monitoring map. But the distance is too far, and Baini Township is not within the scope of the monitoring map.

"Send a report to the 57th Army Headquarters and order them to restrain the 112th Division."

"yes."

"These guys..."

Zhang Yong frowned.

I vaguely feel that this matter is not that simple.

Probably no ordinary mutiny.

"Report to the Commissioner! The 57th Army Military Headquarters did not respond."

"What's the meaning?"

"The 57th military radio station is silent."

"silence?"

"Yes. Not powered on."

"this…"

Zhang Yong took a deep breath slowly.

It seems that someone is indeed planning it behind the scenes!

Alas, why bother, why bother...

Haven't the Northeast Army shed enough blood?

There was so much blood, wouldn't it be better to stay on the battlefield and kill the Japanese invaders? Why bother killing each other again?

Shake his head.

Feeling useless. The battlefield is ruthless.

The plan for now is to use thunderous means to suppress the rebellion.

Long-term pain is worse than short-term pain.

"Send a report to the First Army. Report the situation."

"yes."

"Send a report to the Second Army. Report the situation."

"yes."

The staff officer agreed.

Zhang Yong took a deep breath.

I hope there is no need to use the troops of Hu Zongnan and Tang Enbo...

Otherwise, too much blood will be shed.

well…
