The secret war is silent

Luo Yao is back.

Not many outsiders know this news, but anyone who is well-informed will naturally know that a man who has only joined the military for only three years has become the focus of discussion among princes from all sides.

"Young people take too big a step and are easily distracted!" Most of the generals in the Sichuan Army did not like him.

Especially those who were in the gang were dissatisfied with Luo Yao for forcing Shi Xiaoxian too much and even sent him to prison.

Of course, I don't know whether they are really fighting for Shi Xiaoxian, or whether they are sad that the rabbit died and the fox died. Thinking about it, they feel the emotion only for themselves.

The native emperor of Yunnan had naturally heard that Luo Yao's transactions with the British had to pass through his territory.

He himself had also let his subordinates come into contact and bought things from Luo Yao.

Luo Yao of the Ma family in the northwest should die because Luo Yao dislikes people from the Ma family very much, especially not doing business with upstarts like the Ma family.

Of course, he won't tell the real reason.

For this battle in the Fifth War Zone, Lao Jiang had already summoned his senior advisers to conduct multiple reviews. In addition to finding the reasons for the defeat, he also wanted to create trouble for Li Delin.

Although victory or defeat is a common thing for military strategists, since the Anti-Japanese War, there have been very few defeated battles, because there are really not many generals who have been shot after losing battles, unless it is really a matter of attitude.

It is permissible to suffer defeat if one's personal ability is not good, but if the attitude is wrong, such as conserving strength, passively avoiding war, being greedy for life and fearing death, then you will be asking for it if you get shot.

Because this kind of person will be the same next time, and keeping him will be a disaster.

If we lose a battle and shoot a few generals, will we still be able to find officers who can command the war?

After pushing and pushing, I discovered that in all combat command, an inconspicuous organization plays a key role.

That is the 401st group sent by the Military Commission.

It was this group that provided a large number of deciphered Japanese military messages. In the first phase of the battle, most of the credit for the Fifth Theater Zone being able to anticipate the enemy and even gain a certain upper hand was due to the 401 Group.

Of course, in the second stage, the Japanese army seemed to realize that there was a problem with their secret communication and changed the communication method. This gave them an advantage in the assault on Yichang.

The Fifth War Zone failed to win the battle this time due to many reasons, such as insufficient supply of materials in the later stage, shortage of ammunition and medicines for the troops in the war zone, weapons, and lack of troops. Iron footplates are not as good as car wheels. Command If someone else comes up, he may not be as good at commanding as Li Delin. The problem is that the execution ability of the following will always be compromised...

These are all shortcomings that have always existed within the national army. They are not only present in the Fifth Theater Zone, but also in other theaters. Some are more serious than the Fifth Theater Zone, and some are slightly better.

Finally, someone said, what would be the result of the deduction if the factor of the 401 group was removed from the five theaters?

As a result, the old man and many senior generals in the government took a breath of cold air.

Although this is just a hypothetical proposition and the final result may not be that bad, the results of many things will change and even trigger a chain reaction.

But the ending will definitely be much worse than now.

The situation in the Fifth Theater is very bad, but there is still the strength to fight. After the Japanese army occupied Yichang, except for the air force dispatched, the navy and army basically could only stop now.

Air power is a shortcoming of the national government, which cannot be made up for in a short time. There is no money to buy planes and no more pilots...

The navy will not consider it. Can we count on the few defensive gunboats in the Jialing River?

Luo Yao quietly returned to the military technical room to work.

There was no reception banquet or welcome ceremony, just like usual.

The British issued an ultimatum to close the Burma Highway on July 18, but it did not mean it would be closed permanently, only for three months.

The British did not want to offend the Japanese, but they did not want to give up their interests in the Far East and continued to adopt the policy of appeasement.

Within three months, the Japanese wanted to force Yamashiro to surrender or sign a humiliating peace agreement within three months.

As soon as this news came out, the atmosphere in the mountain city became tense. The prices of various materials began to increase, and unscrupulous merchants began to hoard goods and were reluctant to sell them.

Once the market becomes chaotic, it will be difficult to calm down.

"Brother Yao, our goods were detained in Dian City." Not long after Luo Yao went to work that day, Gong Hui came over angrily.

"The goods were detained, what's going on?" Luo Yao was surprised. He only owned a part of his business with the British. The big boss asked Dai Yunong to take it away. The money he earned was used to subsidize the military commander's expenses.

Dai Yunong has been expanding wildly during this period, and has held many special training classes in various places, which are all supported by these incomes.

Who is jealous and cuts off his source of funds at this juncture?

Luo Yao is just the specific person in charge.

"It's not like you offended someone, they'll take revenge on you!" Gong Hui said, throwing away the telegram in her hand.

"I offended someone. I only passed through Diancheng once. Why did I offend someone?" Luo Yao opened the telegram and read it strangely.

"Transportation Control Bureau, what unit?" Luo Yao looked at the content and his expression became strange.

"Not long after it was established, the Military Commission was under the jurisdiction of the Military Commission. I was the chairman of the Chief of Staff, the Director of Transportation and the Minister of Transportation were the deputy directors, and Yu Fei was the Chief of Staff and Director of the Command Office in Diancheng. The transportation of materials and the deployment of vehicles of any agency must be Through the Transportation Control Bureau, now as long as it is running on the highway or engaged in transportation, it is under its control, whether it is official or private, all have to accept its deployment. "

"So, as long as our supplies arrive in Diancheng, whether using official vehicles or private transportation companies, we must apply for a distribution plan from the Transportation Control Bureau." Luo Yao asked.

"Yes, we used to transport supplies through the Southwest Transportation Office, and basically there were no problems, but now a person has gone to the Transportation Control Bureau."

"Who, can't it be Lin Dongchuan?"

"Smart, one point reveals. Lin Dongchuan committed such a big thing, and the Kong family finally saved him, but the Central Trust Bureau couldn't stay there anymore, so the Kong family made some moves and moved him to the Transportation Control Bureau. , our goods were detained, it should be related to him." Gong Hui said.

"I didn't go to him to settle the score, so I was being generous, but he actually came to trouble me?" Luo Yao was a little angry.

"I am in Dian City now. The sky is high and the Emperor is far away. What else can you do?" Gong Hui sighed and said.

"How did Lin Dongchuan get away with it?"

"The Ye family paid a huge price to redeem Ye Chuan. Ye Chuan said some words that were beneficial to Lin Dongchuan. In addition, the Kong family protected him and demoted him to retain him. Otherwise, how could he be released from wanted status?" Gong Hui explained.

"It's easy for this guy." Luo Yao said, "Are all the customs clearance and filing documents for our supplies complete?"

"When we arrived in China, we all followed the rules. Except for some special items, which cannot be declared at customs, everything else was declared and paid taxes in accordance with the rules, and there were legal procedures." Gong Huidao.

"So are there any special items among the goods seized this time?"

"No, what we are purchasing now are all bulk materials, which are urgently needed in the country. There are cotton, cooking oil, sugar, rubber, gauze, etc., totaling more than 500 tons." Gong Hui said, "Now we are rushing to ship materials to the country. , we still have a batch of supplies lost in Haiphong, and we probably won’t be able to get them back.”

"The French closed the Yunnan-Vietnam railway line, which is obviously a move against the Japanese. Have our intelligence teams in Haiphong and Hanoi withdrew?" Luo Yao asked.

"I really don't know about this. I have to ask someone to find out." Gong Hui shook her head. Domestic and foreign countries are two different things. Even though Gong Hui has a part-time job in the military, she basically doesn't care about it. work, the main focus is on the military technical room.

"We must continue to do import business only if there are people stationed in Myanmar and Diancheng. Otherwise, this kind of thing will happen again in the future." Luo Yao said.

"Yes, but where do we have reliable people now?" Gong Hui was also at a loss.

"If there are any students in our temporary training class who are good at communication and business, we can look for them and see if anyone is willing. I will find a way." Luo Yao said.

"Let Wen Laosan do some research to see if there is such a person." Gong Hui nodded.

"Okay." Luo Yao nodded, "Since the goods have arrived at home, it will be easy to handle. If it is abroad, it will be troublesome. The British bully the weak and fear the strong. What kind of contractual spirit is bullshit." Luo Yao knows these European countries too well. Well, a person who started out as a robber will only talk to you about the spirit of contract and gentlemanly behavior when you are stronger than him. When you are weak, he will not talk about this. In essence, he is just a group of robbers. .

"Then do you want to report Mr. Dai? If we come forward, Lin Dongchuan will definitely find an excuse to continue to detain it. By then, you don't know when this batch of supplies will be shipped. Or even if it is lost for you, you will have no place to reason." Gong Huidao.

"Of course we have to report to Mr. Dai, we can't solve this matter." Luo Yao said, Dai Yunong's big leg should be hugged.

"Should I report it, or should you?"

"Come on, you are in charge of these things. It would be more appropriate for you to report." Luo Yao thought about it and said.

"I see."

…

"Xiaowei, what's going on with this Lin Dongchuan? I didn't ask him to do things honestly after arriving in Diancheng, so why are you trying to make trouble for me again?" Although Minister Kong was already a little disgusted with Lin Dongchuan, he couldn't stand his daughter's pleading. .

It's really different to have a good skin. Lin Dongchuan is like that, but he can still let his daughter treat him like this.

But he no longer likes Lin Dongchuan, and even the person who saved him has no intention of keeping him in the mountain city.

Unexpectedly, someone went to Dian City and caused trouble for him again. He confiscated the supplies imported from abroad by the military commander. Good guy, five hundred tons!

This Dai Yunong is not anxious with him.

"Didn't the man named Luo buy it from the British? Why did he become a military commander?" Miss Kong Er asked in surprise.

She loves the house and hates Luo Yao deeply. She knew that Lin Dongchuan would take revenge on Luo Yao for detaining Luo Yao's goods, and she quite agreed with it. She even planned to devour these valuable goods.

Now that domestic prices are soaring, it would cost a lot of money to resell. Miss Kong Er lives a luxurious life and spends money like water.

"That's Dai Yunong's business, and the boy named Luo is in charge of it. Do you understand, Xiaowei, don't mess with Luo Yao? What is his background? What is our family's background? Can you afford it?" Minister Kong scolded him. road.

"Dad, you are the Vice President of the Executive Yuan, why are you afraid of a small military commander like him?" Miss Kong Er said nonchalantly.

"Of course I'm not afraid of him, but Dai Yunong is very powerful now, and he has your uncle's trust deeply. Why would you offend such a person?"

"Okay, I'll call Xiao Linzi and ask him to release the goods." No matter how lawless Miss Kong Er is, she doesn't dare to disobey me.

Asking for a monthly ticket!
