Rebirth of the Republic of China: The Rise of China

At this moment, everyone's expressions, including Lao Jiang's, were constantly changing like the unpredictable weather.

Looking at Dai Li who spoke amazing words in front of him, Lao Jiang seemed to be looking at an alien, and asked incredulously: "Yunong, you are not kidding me... You must be clear, in this decisive battle, the Soviet Far East Military Region mobilized 50 Ten thousand army. And the national defense army commanded by Li Guosheng is 20. With such a huge gap, how could the national defense army win in such a short period of time, unless the national defense army commanded by Li Guosheng is all heavenly soldiers and generals..."

A group of colleagues standing behind Dai Li also immediately cast doubtful eyes on Dai Li.

When he first heard the news, Dai Li also showed the same expression as everyone else.However, after careful analysis of various information, Dai Li had to admit this fact.Under everyone's skeptical eyes, Dai Li opened his mouth to analyze: "Principal, students can say with certainty that the conclusion just said is at least [-]% sure..."

"After receiving the news, the students have already telegraphed the intelligence branch of Heilongjiang Province to quickly dispatch capable intelligence officers to Vladivostok and Manzhouli for investigation. Not surprisingly, the investigation results should be sent to our intelligence headquarters within two days .”

Because of this news, Lao Jiang suddenly felt a deep chill.A hasty knock on the door suddenly reached everyone's ears.As the door of the office was opened, the figure of the deputy director of the intelligence department suddenly appeared at the door.

Under Dai Li's signal, the telegram held in the deputy director's hand was quickly delivered to Dai Li.

For a while, Lao Jiang was included in the office.All eyes were on Dai Li.Suddenly felt that Dai Yunong, who was hot and dry, was very nervous.From the bottom of my heart, I don't want to judge myself into reality.However, when the content of the telegram was slowly revealed to him.A chill quickly rushed into Dai Li's heart.

"Vladivostok, the National Defense Forces have recovered all of Vladivostok, how is it possible..." After reading the contents of the telegram, Dai Li, who was also shocked in his heart, subconsciously said to himself.

"Recovering Vladivostok... Dai Li, please make it clear..." Lao Jiang suddenly flashed a cold light in his eyes, and asked Dai Li sharply in front of him.

Dai Li, who had reacted from the shock, did not dare to hesitate, and quickly replied: "Report to the principal. The decisive battle between the National Defense Forces and the Soviet Far East Army is really over. Not only did it end with the victory of the National Defense Forces, but the National Defense Forces also successfully recovered Vladivostok from the Soviets. "

"As for the other results of the battle, it is not clear yet. However, the intelligence personnel who entered the Soviet Union also discovered a situation: the Wehrmacht troops that entered the Soviet Union had been divided into two two days ago... one part continued to stick to Vladivostok and the surrounding areas, while the other Following the collapse of the Soviet Union, heading towards Sakhalin, it seems that they are preparing to recover Sakhalin..."

"Recovering Vladivostok, the National Defense Forces have completed what the National Government has not done. How is it possible... Yu Nong, did the Intelligence Department make a mistake? How could the Soviet Far Eastern Military Region abandon Vladivostok and their Soviet Far Eastern Military Region Command. And What about the Soviet Far East Fleet, without Vladivostok, where would their Far East Fleet go..." Facing Dai Li with a serious expression in front of him.Lao Jiang continued to roar angrily.

Under the gaze of everyone in the office, although Dai Li wanted to shake his head in denial.However, for the intelligence personnel who have been carefully trained by themselves.Dai Li was still full of confidence.

After a short period of contemplation, he replied firmly to Lao Jiang: "Principal, the students can be sure of the intelligence analysis just now...According to the intelligence agent's investigation, the entire city of Vladivostok was razed to the ground except for the Vladivostok Military Port. The photo sent back by the staff is the proof, please read the principal..."

Lao Jiang with a livid face quickly took the photos and telegrams and began to browse them.

Soon, the anger and shock on his face were replaced by a trace of fear from the bottom of his heart.Although Lao Jiang has been away from the army for a long time, Lao Jiang still understands some of the most basic military common sense.

I saw photos of the city of Vladivostok that had been razed to the ground, concrete ruins everywhere, and the city of Vladivostok that had been burned.Lao Jiang can be sure that with the current strength of the Central Army, even if all the firepower of the Central Army is concentrated, it will not be able to blow up Vladivostok, a big city, into the picture in front of it in just a few days.

What even the central government army could not do, was only a local army under the jurisdiction of the national government, but the National Defense Forces did it.Coupled with the consecutive victories of the National Defense Forces against the Japanese Kwantung Army and the Soviet Far East Red Army... the achievements of the National Defense Forces on the battlefield are placed in front of Lao Jiang.Lao Jiang, who has always been only full of fear of the National Defense Forces, thinks that after he unifies the warlords in other parts of the country, he will have the strength to eliminate the National Defense Forces in one fell swoop.At this moment, the feeling for the National Defense Forces is not just as simple as jealousy, but fear, a kind of fear from the heart.

Of course, as the head of a country, Lao Jiang is still able to hide his embarrassment and fear.After a pair of eyes quickly shifted to Chen Cheng and the others, he asked in a deep voice, "Jingzhi, what do you think..."

He Yingqin replied: "Principal, I believe in the judgment of the Intelligence Department that the decisive battle between the National Defense Forces and the Soviet Far East Army has ended with the victory of the National Defense Forces. Otherwise, the Chinese National Defense Forces would not waste energy and troops holding a military parade at this time." .”

After finishing speaking, He Yingqin continued to speak: "Since the battle between the National Defense Forces and the Soviet Far East Army is over, no matter how much the National Defense Forces have paid in this decisive battle. We should immediately launch a military attack on Shandong Province, because the National Defense Forces are in China. The powerful firepower exposed on the Soviet battlefield is no longer something we can resist..."

"I support Minister He's suggestion to give up the military action to attack Shandong Province. At the same time, I call back the National Defense Forces, and my central government will send important officials to participate in this military parade. Through this military parade, we can more intuitively understand the strength of the National Defense Forces and the National Defense Forces. Combat strength, prepare for the next layout of our central government..." Chen Cheng followed closely.

Seeing that the two confidants expressed their support for suspending the attack on Shandong, the expression on Lao Jiang's face suddenly became disappointed.Facing his subordinates, he said unwillingly: "If we can't win Shandong this time, maybe we will never have the chance to win Shandong again. Be clear. Once the National Defense Forces gain a firm foothold in the three northeastern provinces, relying on the rich resources of the three northeastern provinces Resources and land. The military strength of the National Defense Forces will definitely increase exponentially. At that time, maybe we will rely on the power of the whole country in our hands. It is not an opponent of the National Defense Forces."

Just when the atmosphere in the office became more and more dignified again, Yang Yongtai, the chief staff member of the veteran general, said, "Chairman, I have a different opinion in humble positions... After taking control of the three northeastern provinces, although the National Defense Force has greater development potential. However, controlling The central government in the entire Jiangnan region has a variety of development potentials that are no worse than those of the National Defense Forces. More importantly, the central government has taken up the right no matter what time it is..."

"Through this military parade, on the one hand, we understand the true military strength of the National Defense Forces. On the other hand, we must also take a learning attitude, learn how the National Defense Forces develop and grow, learn how the National Defense Forces govern the region, and how to rely on several provinces to form such Huge numbers, hundreds of thousands of well-equipped troops...."

"I am confident that with the central government's talent pool and the areas under its control, as long as we learn the development ideas of the National Defense Forces. The development speed of our central government will definitely not be inferior to that of the National Defense Forces. Maybe it will not take a few years for our central government to really develop. It is not impossible to grow stronger, even surpassing the National Defense Forces."

"I support Secretary-General Yang's opinion..." Chen Bulei, another confidant of Lao Jiang, said with a face of support.

"From the day when Li Guosheng formally formed the National Defense Forces, it was announced that the National Defense Forces had officially parted ways with the central government, and that it was impossible to come together. In this case, as long as Li Guosheng is not provoked and he is not allowed to openly rebel, our central government can use everything it can. Poach people from within the National Defense Forces, and even buy National Defense Forces officers. Disintegrate the National Defense Forces from within. At the same time, you can also use this method to dig more talents from the National Defense Forces to help the central government train the army..."

As soon as Chen Bulei's words fell, Zhang Qun, another scheming staff member under Lao Jiang's command, his eyes lit up, as if he had thought of something.Facing Lao Jiang with a frustrated expression, he comforted: "Chairman, I don't know if you still remember our policy against the Northeast Army. The situation at that time was almost the same as it is now. I believe that as long as we use the right strategy, we can In the National Defense Force, the same results as the original Northeast Army were obtained...."

Although the suggestions of several staff members are on the upper table, they all belong to the category of conspiracy.However, Lao Jiang, who could no longer think of any way to break the situation, could only use it like a blind cat catching a dead mouse.

Facing the subordinate who was slowly regaining confidence in front of him, he decisively ordered: "You are very good... Secretary-General Yang, you are the Secretary-General of the Executive Yuan. Now I order that you and Minister Jingzhi of the Ministry of Military Affairs will be responsible for this matter. The shortest Within a short period of time, come up with a plan to infiltrate the National Defense Forces. Of course, before perfecting this plan, first determine the important officials of the government who will go to Shenyang to participate in the military parade. Remember, the important officials of the government who will participate in the military parade this time must The most capable civil and military officials from the government must be dispatched. In addition, appropriate intelligence personnel must also be placed..."

Shenyang National Defense Army General Headquarters, as the crisp sound of sending and receiving telegrams continued to ring out, one after another telegrams from all over the country were quickly collected in the hands of Li Mengjie, the chief of the confidential department.

Soon, the number of telegrams in Li Mengjie's hand reached more than a dozen.

Just when Li Mengjie took the telegram and was just about to report to Li Guosheng's office.With an exclamation, a radio operator in front of him suddenly said: "Director, the central government has received a call back. This is the specific list of the central government who came to participate in the military parade..."

"Eh..." As an intelligence officer who once worked in the intelligence office of the Nanjing Central Government, Li Mengjie knew the situation of the top officials of various departments of the Nationalist Government and the distribution of personnel.After reading the telegram in his hand, Li Mengjie, who was still calm just now, showed a shocked expression.

Because, in the telegram in his hand, Li Mengjie not only saw He Yingqin and Chen Cheng, the confidantes of Lao Jiang, but also Chen Bulei, Yang Yongtai and others among the chief staff of Lao Jiang who rarely met. In the list, almost all the elites of the three departments of the party, government and army of the Nanjing National Government gathered.

Looking at the telegram in his hand, Li Mengjie didn't dare to neglect, and quickly walked towards the direction of Li Guosheng's office.While walking, I thought, what is the ultimate purpose of the Nanjing Nationalist Government sending such a large visiting group?

As the proposer of this military parade, Li Guosheng.After reading the list of personnel listed by the central government, even if you are mentally prepared.Was also taken aback.After glancing at Jiang Baili, whose face was getting more and more dignified, Li Guosheng, who had not yet reached the level of old Jiang in terms of political struggle and conspiracy struggle.asked suspiciously.

"Chief of Staff, does Lao Jiang have another conspiracy against our National Defense Forces..."

"That's for sure..." Jiang Baili put the telegram behind the desk in front of him and analyzed it to Li Guosheng.

"Boss, first look at the list of personnel listed by other local forces... Looking around, military personnel account for more than [-]% of the personnel list, and the remaining [-]% ​​are intelligence personnel for probing the strength of our National Defense Forces As for the personnel list that Chiang gave us, military personnel accounted for less than [-]% of the personnel, and the remaining [-]% were personnel. Not to mention the large number of intelligence personnel, the others were either the chief staff under Chiang’s command, or the central government. Head of the department... so many high-ranking officers have come to Shenyang, if it is said that there is no purpose, I, Jiang Baili, will never believe it..."

"Then what is their ultimate goal..." Li Guosheng's frown deepened.Looking at Jiang Baili, waiting for Jiang Baili to answer.

1 minute, 2 minutes... After 5 minutes of silence in the small office, a glimmer of inspiration suddenly came to Jiang Baili's mind.eyes lit up.Facing Li Guosheng, he asked back: "Boss, I don't know if you still remember the way the central government dealt with Zhang Xueliang's Northeast Army..."

"There are so many high-ranking military officials from the central government who have all gathered in Shenyang City, and the word 'inspection' is absolutely unjustifiable. Besides, even if the central government really wants to inspect our National Defense Forces, it will not send so many top leaders of government departments at once. I know that once these people have an accident, the entire central government is likely to be paralyzed..."

"It turns out that this is the case. This old Jiang really knows how to calculate... On the surface, he can't defeat our National Defense Army. So he started to play tricks secretly. I really convinced him..." Li Guosheng immediately showed an expression of enlightenment.Said in a mocking tone.

However, after the mocking expression, the expression on Li Guosheng's face did not turn into worry like that of Jiang Baili.Seeing this, Jiang Baili asked back with a puzzled expression: "Boss, don't worry... You know, Lao Jiang's behavior of buying people's hearts with high-ranking officials and generous salaries can be said to be tried and tested, and he has almost never failed. You Don’t worry that Lao Jiang will disrupt the morale of our National Defense Army after he did this on our National Defense Army, and break through our National Defense Army’s defense line from the inside..."

Li Guosheng shook his head confidently, and replied: "Old Jiang can succeed in others, but it is absolutely impossible to succeed in my thriving National Defense Force..."

"Look at all the senior officers above the division level in our National Defense Forces. Although many of them come from the Central Army of the Nationalist Government and other local warlords. However, if you are the commander and chief of staff of these divisions, you must command a main division of our National Defense Forces. How much does the national government need to pay to make these officers give up their high positions in the National Defense Forces, give up the more than 1 well-equipped iron-blooded elites commanded by the National Defense Forces, and go to the Central Army commanded by the central government..."

Jiang Baili thoughtfully replied: "Although a main division of our National Defense Army has only about 5000 people. However, in terms of combat effectiveness, a main division of our army is definitely far more than an army of the Central Army. If you want to impress these military directors Lao Jiang must at least take out the position of commander of the group army, otherwise he will definitely not be able to impress them..."

Speaking of this, Jiang Baili also showed a sudden realization expression on his face.He replied excitedly to Li Guosheng: "Boss, I understand. Although Lao Jiang is the chairman of the Nationalist Government, he controls the hundreds of thousands of Central Army commanded by the Nationalist Government. However, as the saying goes, one radish and one pit, hundreds of thousands of Central Army There are at most seven or eight group army commanders. Lao Jiang simply does not have enough chips to attract the senior generals in our hands..."

Li Guosheng nodded in agreement, and replied: "You are right...Of course, even if the veteran is willing to offer such a big bargaining chip, these senior officers may not agree...."

Under Jiang Baili's puzzled gaze, Li Guosheng analyzed: "The prestige of our National Defense Forces in the country is no less than that of the Central Army commanded by veterans. In terms of military strength, it is far superior to the Central Government Army. Maybe these senior officers In your eyes, it won’t be long before the National Defense Forces of our country will take over the central government and replace the Nanjing National Government under the command of Chiang Kai-shek. Under such circumstances, do you think these senior officers will give up their good prospects in the National Defense Forces to give up Lao Jiang will attack immediately..."

Self-confidence is self-confidence, and Li Guosheng is not defenseless.Ever since the time-traveling incident happened to him, Li Guosheng firmly believed in a truth, nothing is impossible in this world.

Seeing Jiang Baili's noncommittal nod in front of him, he agreed with his opinion.Li Guosheng changed the subject, and said to Jiang Baili: "Of course, Chief of Staff, our National Defense Forces cannot be bullied and indifferent to Jiang's upcoming actions and plots."

"My idea is to let Zhang Tianyu's intelligence department take action. All along, the development direction of the intelligence department has been aimed at foreign enemies, and has never been aimed at our internal. My opinion is that by taking this opportunity, within our National Defense Forces, also Establish a secret intelligence network. Of course, this action is not to distrust the soldiers under your command, but just in case. After all, our National Defense Forces shoulder the important task of China's rise..."

"Yes, Chief, I understand..." In Jiang Baili's view, the surveillance personnel were almost the same as the Jinyiwei of the Ming Dynasty.However, as a senior military officer, Jiang Baili knows the importance of internal stability to a country and an army.After a short period of contemplation, he still gave a very straightforward answer, his tone full of support and determination for Li Guosheng... (to be continued...)
