Chapter 4674: The Old Man's Advice

"Master, the food is ready!"

A butler came over, came to the two of them, and asked in a low voice.

"Okay then, let's go eat!"

The old man also stood up, smiled at Zhang Tianhao, and took Zhang Tianhao to the hall to have dinner.

There was no one else in the hall, except the servants, Zhang Tianhao and the old man.

"What about the rest?"

"They have their own things to do, so today we will have dinner together and chat at the same time!"

"Thank you, old man."

Zhang Tianhao also thanked the old man gratefully. After all, the old man was still very caring towards him, especially when he helped him with the things in Chongqing several times.

Although it was just a casual thing, he still had to remember this kindness.

The two of them were drinking and eating at the same time, which was quite casual.

"By the way, those people who tried to assassinate you yesterday, do you know who they were?"

"The action team sent from Wuhan has about a hundred people, but I don't know who the other group is. However, I guess they are local forces who want to target me!"

"You kid, you don't know what you've done. The Japanese hate you to death. You've forcibly opened up a piece of land in northern Jiangsu that they can't even bite."

"What's more, you are developing too fast. Many people are jealous and want to share your power and army. Naturally, many people want you to die."

"Unfortunately, they miscalculated."

Zhang Tianhao also shook his head and said with disdain.

"No, they succeeded. Although they didn't do anything to you, they still succeeded. Several forces have tacitly taken action against you. They have almost reached a consensus. Your situation will become more difficult. As for your use of force in the second half of the year, you may have to postpone it."

The old man drank a few glasses of wine, then gently put down the glass and looked at the empty hall. Even the servants had left. Then he spoke seriously.

"You are already in the middle of a storm. If you continue to expand without a certain level of strength, it is very likely that multiple parties will join forces. You know the consequences of this, just like the army in the north that was in the south of the Yangtze River. You also know the consequences!"

"Ok!"

Zhang Tianhao immediately thought of the army that had already taken over northern Jiangsu. However, Zhang Tianhao only occupied five cities in northern Jiangsu.

Half of Yangzhou, half of Xuzhou, plus Yancheng, Huaiyin, Lianyungang, and one city, Anzheng.

Come to think of it, he really couldn't do much, and he couldn't even take over Nantong and other places.

"Thank you, old man. I understand. I plan to take Yangzhou and Nantong and confront the Japanese troops in Nanjing and Shanghai across the river. What do you think?"

"That's fine, but it's already your limit!"

The old man also knocked on the table lightly, then frowned and said seriously: "If there are more, the forces from all sides will rush over."

"understand!"

The two did not talk about military matters anymore, but instead talked a lot about Zhang Tianhao's remarriage, and even talked about He Yuanshan.

"By the way, He Yuanshan just mentioned it, too. Did you know?"

"You just mentioned it?"

"Yes, I just mentioned it yesterday. It was obviously just for show."

"He has real power, but the number of troops under his command is almost the same as a division, and he is also the commander of a corps training new recruits. The garrison is, in fact, just a logistics unit that transports troops to the front line."

"It seems that person is thoughtful!"

Zhang Tianhao also smiled and said lightly: "If that's the case, then that's fine."

"Well, indeed, that's good. At least there aren't too many conflicts of interest among the parties." "You kid, you're still open-minded."

Zhang Tianhao smiled, and the old man also laughed.

"When you go back in the afternoon, do you want to go back to your own villa or stay at my place? It's relatively safer here."

"No, I don't plan to go back to the villa. I plan to go around Chongqing or Wuhan. After all, the Japanese army came to bomb me, so I have to give them a return gift, right?"

"Boy, you won't take risks again, right? The Japanese army is guarding the Wuhan airport very tightly. How can you take over the Japanese airport directly?"

"It all depends on man!"

"Boy, I know you can't sit still, and I can't persuade you, but you have to be careful. After all, you are not alone. Besides, it's really unreasonable for you to go on stage."

"I am an agent myself, so isn't it normal for me to do some covert sabotage?"

He immediately bared his teeth and smiled indifferently.

"Forget it, I can't persuade you, when are you going to leave!"

"We will leave in the afternoon and may arrive in Wuhan in the evening. By then, I will take good care of the Japanese airport in Wuhan!"

"All right!"

The old man didn't say anything more and started eating quietly. In the whole hall, there was no other sound except the sound of eating.

……

"Boss, do you think Zhang Tianhao will agree to marry the daughter of the He family this time?"

Boss Dai looked at Director Mao in front of him without much expression. It could even be said that he had a stern face the whole time.

"Do you think he will agree?"

"He might agree, but he should also think that this marriage is obviously a trap, and it is a trap to trap him in Chongqing. It may be difficult for him to leave in the future."

"Haha, can you imagine that he can't think of it? But does he have the right to refuse?"

Boss Dai rolled his eyes at Director Mao and said calmly, "Even though Zhang Tianhao is doing quite well now, the higher-ups have plenty of ways to deal with him. Although it's not appropriate to take him down directly, if Zhang Tianhao really refuses, the higher-ups can just find a reason to take him down. It doesn't seem to be that difficult, right?"

"That's what I said, but what about public opinion?"

"Director Mao, you are a veteran of the Military Control Commission, don't you understand this?"

"That's right, the boss is wise."

"Okay, this matter has basically been decided, so there won't be any big problems. But the biggest problem now is how to trap Zhang Tianhao instead of his stand-in. Do you understand?"

"This, if it is really his substitute, then everything done above is in vain. I guess I can't even cry."

"That's what I mean. If it's really a substitute, then everything we do is in vain. Do you understand?"

Boss Dai also felt a headache. After all, how could he be sure that Zhang Tianhao was not a substitute but the real person.

"The problem is, we can't keep an eye on him now, can we?"

"That's nothing. It's impossible to keep an eye on him, unless you put him under house arrest. But is house arrest really useful?"

Boss Dai was also very skeptical about this. After all, Zhang Tianhao's "death" had happened several times, but after each time, he was still full of energy and nothing happened at all.

They were so angry that they were half dead, but what could they do?

"Boss, then we..."

"We still have a friendship between us. Let's do our own thing and don't get too involved. Do you understand? Unlike the other side, that friendship was directly used up by him. If you encounter something in the future, do you think that the friendship that has been used up can continue?"

"understand!"

When Director Mao heard this, he understood what Boss Dai meant. Things can be done, but how to do it is a science.
