Bourne: Command and Conquer

Chapter 1295, dead end. No solution.

Order to loosen up.

Sit down each.

"Where are you from?"

"Guilin."

"Guangxi?"

"No. Guilin."

"Is there a difference?"

"have."

The other party stressed very seriously.

Zhang Yong tilted his head and thought for a while. oh. Understood.

Guilin is the base of the New Guangxi Clan. They are Li Moumou and Xiao Zhuge. Referred to as Li Bai.

If it is Guangxi, then the territory is huge. It also contains many forces. For example, Nanning was the territory of Lu Rongting of the old Guangxi clique.

After the rise of the New Guangxi Clan, they dominated Guilin and ignored Nanning intentionally or unintentionally.

To emphasize that he is from Guilin is to emphasize that he was sent by Li Bai. But it can't be said clearly.

Some things are just so hidden.

It can be done. Can't say.

You can guess. It's easy to guess. But I just can't say it.

"Do you have a problem with me?"

"No."

"Send me a box full of gold, okay?"

"Not really."

"real?"

"real."

"That…"

Zhang Yong was silent.

Of course gold is welcome to all comers.

Now even if he cuts off his head, it is impossible to return a box full of gold to him.

joke…

When the gold comes to Zhang Yong, it belongs to Zhang Yong!

It's just that Xiao Zhuge's calculations are still very shrewd.

Only gifts, no requests. It's purely about connecting emotionally.

After accepting the gift, if you encounter any difficulties with the Gui family in the future, you will definitely have to help take care of them.

After all, collecting money to do things is also Zhang Yong's purpose.

Reputation still needs to be maintained.

Only in this way can the water flow slowly and steadily.

"Do you need replenishment of weapons and ammunition?"

"No need for now."

"Do you need any other supplies?"

"We all have them."

"All right."

Zhang Yong had no choice but to shut up angrily.

It seems that the other party is really playing a long game to catch the big fish.

It's a small favor that you don't need to pay back. It doesn't work until the most critical moment. The abacus is very precise.

After all, he is Xiao Zhuge.

Best at scheming people.

When it comes to calculating people, Zhang Yong is definitely no match for Xiao Zhuge.

But it doesn't matter. Since Zhang Yong dared to accept gifts, he would dare to help in the future. Apart from fearing the Great God of Harmony, he was not afraid of anything else.

"Commissioner please appoint a concubine to connect with us."

"do what?"

“We give the commissioner a box of gold every month.”

"Every month?"

Zhang Yong immediately opened his eyes wide.

Wow!

Did you hear it correctly?

Is Li Bai so rich? One box per month?

This is gold!

"Every month, a box. That's it. Gold."

The other party stressed very seriously.

Zhang Yong:…

It seems that the Gui clique has a big plan!

I’m also willing to spend money!

No wonder he persisted until the end.

He once forced Chiang Kai-shek to leave the field. He is considered the strongest local warlord.

every month. One box. gold. More than 30,000 grams. About seventy pounds?

Are you so valuable?

Is it worth the long-term acquisition of Gui Clan?

"good."

Zhang Yong immediately thought of Gu Xiaoru.

She is her own woman. I also happen to work at Citibank.

It would be best to let her receive the gold bars. Inside the concession, it is relatively safe.

Gold bullion is deposited directly into Citibank. Then convert it to US dollars. Then enter the account on the beautiful country side.

Perfect!

I guess Li Bai also thought of it. So, only gold is given away. It’s just convenient for exchange.

So he took the other party to find Gu Xiaoru.

Come to Citibank and ask others to wait outside. Enter yourself.

The surveillance map showed that Gu Xiaoru was inside. There are a few white spots around. It must be a customer.

Enter Citibank.

Sure enough, I saw Gu Xiaoru explaining something to the customer.

A crisp little woman, pretty and slim, wearing a well-tailored suit, she looks elegant and cute.

After coming out of the **** and tragic battlefield, I suddenly saw her and suddenly felt that the years were peaceful.

The so-called children and wives are on the hot bed. Maybe that's it.

Unfortunately, the war has only begun now. There are still eight years left!

Four years later, the concession will also be trampled under the iron hoofs of the Japanese invaders. The concession is no longer safe.

It is still necessary to find a way to move to other places early.

For example, within the beautiful country.

Approach quietly. Gu Xiaoru didn't see him.

The people gathered around her should all be local merchants from Songhu or well-to-do families.

Affected by the war, they all hoped to deposit their property in Citibank. Or cash out. I want to leave this chaotic war zone as soon as possible.

"Sorry, we only accept silver dollars or gold in exchange now, not banknotes..."

Gu Xiaoru explained politely.

But the core purpose is one: no legal currency.

Banknotes are only accepted by Citibank and HSBC. I don’t recognize the others.

"Well, I have some gold that I want to exchange..."

Zhang Yong said weakly.

Gu Xiaoru turned around. Found out it was him. His face was suddenly filled with surprise.

The look of joy in his eyes comes from the heart. She subconsciously wanted to pounce on him.

She missed him. real.

No news from him for a long time. I don't know what happened to him.

There was a war going on outside the concession. The war was chaotic. I don’t know if Zhang Yong was involved. Is it safe?

Now seeing Zhang Yong appear, I am naturally filled with joy. The heart that had been hanging fell to the ground.

She wished she could immediately throw herself into his arms and have **** with him until death. Release the deep longing.

But in the end he held back. There were many other people around.

"Bring it in."

Zhang Yong waved to the back.

Immediately someone came in carrying a heavy rattan box.

"Excuse me…"

Gu Xiaoru finally found an excuse.

Finally I can be alone with Zhang Yong.

"When did you come?"

"I've been here for a few days."

"Where do you live?"

"Across the Suzhou River. Sihang Warehouse."

"Huh? Isn't there a war going on there? Why do you live there?"

"I am the one leading the troops to fight against the Japanese invaders!"

"Ah? What did you say?"

"I said, it's your husband and I who are leading the troops to fight the Japanese invaders."

"ah?"

"Don't worry. I just defeated the Japanese invaders and can no longer take care of myself."

"They're terrible..."

"I'm terrible too..."

"Well..."

Suddenly the little mouth was blocked.

But it was Zhang Yong who seized the opportunity and caressed her.

The tender and charming little woman naturally cooperates docilely and is eager to go further.

"I'm going to take leave from get off work now..."

"No need..."

"want."

"All right…"

then…

(50 million words omitted here)

…

"A box of gold every month?"

"right."

"Leave it all to me?"

"right."

"How to deal with it?"

"Deposit it in the bank. Then convert it into dollars."

"This is easy. But once you change it into U.S. dollars, it's very difficult to change it into gold."

"It's okay. Convert everything into US dollars. Then deposit it into the account in the beautiful country. I can use it."

"Buy stocks?"

“There are other things you can do besides buying stocks.”

"OK."

The little woman was very satisfied.

Suddenly turned over. Actively ride on him.

Zhang Yong:…

Uh, come back...

Don't…

…

The next morning.

Zhang Yong came out holding the wall. Followed by the shy Gu Xiaoru.

This bad guy. Even talking about fighting! He can't even beat himself.

"Come to me often."

"good."

"You must come!"

"good."

Zhang Yong agreed.

I had already made up my mind. Go back to Luodian. I'd better go kill the Japanese invaders!

You can use tools to kill the Japanese invaders.

Although I can't do it myself. But the tools are great!

Farewell.

Return to the concession entrance.

Found that Zhu Yuan was still there.

"Captain Zhu, you don't need to sleep?"

"When you and Miss Gu were entangled, I had been asleep for a long time."

"Thanks for taking care of me."

"It should be. It is our responsibility to maintain the security of the concession."

“Any good places to recommend?”

"There are some nice vacant houses on Pétain Road for rent or resale."

"clear."

Zhang Yong nodded.

Obviously, Zhu Yuan was secretly protecting Gu Xiaoru.

Now that so many refugees are pouring into the concession, public security has deteriorated, and some people may take risks.

The main thing is that Xiaoru is young and beautiful. It is indeed unsafe to live alone again.

Petain Road is good.

That's the French Concession. The security is very good.

Both the Annan patrol and the French soldiers focused their attention there.

Before, Zhang Yong himself wanted to take action on Petain Road several times, but was restricted. Ordinary people waiting around don't even have a chance to get close.

It just so happens that we build a house there for Qin Longyue and Qin Huangyu to live in.

Love your own woman!

Even if you don’t use it temporarily. It also needs to be well maintained. Ready to use.

So he took out a bag of francs and gave it to Zhu Yuan, asking him to help rent a house.

After it's done, just notify Gu Xiaoru to move in.

By the way, let Qin Huangyu and Qin Longyue also move into Beitang Road.

Live together?

Of course not.

separate. Rent two houses. Or buy.

Of course, it would be best if the three of them are willing to live together. Let them do whatever they want.

"Please."

"good."

"Gone."

"Goodbye."

Zhang Yong returned to the 88th Division headquarters.

Find the atmosphere here seems a bit happy? Very rare joy.

Even Sun Yuanliang hummed a ditty. Even the steps are dancing.

"Commissioner!"

"What are you so happy about?"

"The Japanese invaders may be about to collapse. They actually tried to fight us with bayonets!"

"collapse?"

"Yes. The Japanese invaders are crazy. They charge forward with bayonets in hand."

"Then what?"

"Of course we all beat them to death on the ground."

"Yeah?"

Zhang Yong was dubious.

Are the Japanese invaders so stupid? Bayonet?

Knowing that the 88th Division's firepower is very powerful at the moment, they still charge forward with bayonets in hand?

Which commander is such an idiot?

I must commit seppuku if I turn around!

Sun Yuanliang said with a smile: "I suspect that the Japanese invaders broke the jar."

"I'll go take a look." Zhang Yong really didn't believe it.

Are the Japanese invaders really seeking death?

It doesn't feel right...

"I'll take you there."

"good."

The two came to the forward position.

Indeed, we saw many corpses of Japanese invaders lying on the open ground in front of us.

Seven horizontally and eight vertically. A mess. There were maybe three or four hundred people. The Type 38 rifles scattered around were indeed all equipped with bayonets.

Believed.

The Japanese invaders were indeed seeking death.

Otherwise, they would not rush up from this open area.

Nothing to hide.

The ground is flat.

No need for artillery fire. Direct gun blockade. Not a single Japanese invader can even think of charging up.

Judging from the corpses of Japanese invaders at the scene, almost all of them were intact. It means he was killed by a bullet. Very few explosives. The Japanese invaders are really crazy.

"I'm going to Luodian." Zhang Yong changed the subject.

"What?" Sun Yuanliang was stunned.

"There may not be any fierce fighting here for the time being. The Japanese invaders are focusing on attacking Luodian."

"Understood."

Of course Sun Yuanliang was reluctant to give up.

If Zhang Yong were here. He didn't need to worry at all.

You only need to play the role of chief of staff, and Zhang Yong will take care of everything else. Very comfortable.

However, once Zhang Yong leaves, everything will fall on Sun Yuanliang. It’s stressful. Fortunately, the 88th Division currently has sufficient ammunition.

"I have reached some agreements with the concession. Supplies and personnel will be sent there."

"That's great."

"Injured soldiers should be put into civilian clothes and sent to the concession for treatment."

"OK."

"That's it."

Zhang Yong didn't say much.

Gather the troops.

Prepare to evacuate.

Of course, the 88th Division's own people stayed behind.

All other troops will be withdrawn.

Among the many national troops on the Songhu battlefield, the 88th Division currently enjoys the best treatment.

Backing to the concession. There is enough dry food. Injuries can also be treated promptly. There may even be some manpower added.

Other national army units certainly do not have such good conditions.

They are still fighting hard.

Especially around Luodian. Both the enemy and ourselves were bleeding like rivers.

The casualties suffered by the Japanese invaders were actually quite high. But unlike the national army, they chose to ignore the old troops and were keen on establishing new ones.

As a result, at a glance, the number of numbers is very large. But there is actually a serious shortage of real soldiers.

After the war, it was said that there were more than 100 divisions, but in fact some divisions had less than 3,000 troops. Not even two thousand people. It's purely for decoration.

On the contrary, the Japanese invaders' new recruits gave priority to replenishing the troops.

It seems that the Third Division suffered heavy casualties, but new recruits were replenished quickly, so the strength was always maintained at more than 20,000 people.

Moreover, the new recruits added by the Japanese invaders were not real recruits.

They are all local soldiers who have received professional training. That is, retired soldiers. When you get to the battlefield, you get started quickly.

well…

sigh.

Early in the war. It's really hard.

The overall strength of the Japanese invaders was really too powerful. There is absolutely no chance of winning.

Switch world map.

It was discovered that the Kaga aircraft carrier had passed through the Osumi Strait. It is expected that it will reach the coast of China in one week at most.

If the speed is fast, the Japanese carrier-based aircraft may enter the battlefield in five days.

At that time, the firepower of the Japanese invaders in the direction of Luodian will suddenly increase.

Facing the Japanese aggressors' air superiority, there was basically no solution.

A large-scale battle will only increase casualties in vain. The final result is still failure.

I don’t know if the Supreme Command is currently prepared for a major defeat? If not, start now.

Rear-area industries should be relocated as soon as possible if they can.

Personnel should be evacuated as soon as possible.

Work overtime to build the fortifications that can be built. Sharpening a gun in the face of battle will bring displeasure.

In short, be prepared to give up on Songhu. Use the remaining troops on the second line.

Can't drag.

You can't be indecisive.

Otherwise, when the Japanese invaders land from Jinshanwei, the situation will be even worse.

However…

Thinking of Chiang Kai-shek's character...

It may be impossible for him to make up his mind to give up Songhu.

so-

This is a dead end. No solution.

And he, Zhang Yong, is currently in a dead end.

No matter how hard you struggle, you can't change the final result. It's like a bug trapped in a glass bottle.

But, so what?

The glass bottle will eventually be broken. Because it will get thinner and thinner.

As the Japanese invaders' front continues to extend, the glass bottle will be stretched infinitely. Eventually there will be a vulnerability somewhere. A break occurs.

After December 7, 1941, there will still be people with hammers smashing this glass bottle.

Therefore, adjust your mentality and look forward to the final light.

"Commissioner."

Sun Liren came up from behind.

Zhang Yong nodded. Indicate to the other person to speak directly if they have something to say.

Well, we are a family.

"Commissioner, do you think the Japanese aircraft carrier will join the battlefield?"

"Already on the way."

"real?"

"If we go fast, we may be bombed indiscriminately by carrier-based aircraft of the Japanese navy in five days."

"Then how can we fight?"

Sun Liren suddenly became anxious. He studied abroad.

Those who have studied abroad often know a little more. Others don't know about carrier-based aircraft. But Sun Liren must know.

Once the Japanese carrier-based aircraft enter the battle, the battlefield will be very dangerous.

It is impossible to march or fight during the day.

They will be targeted by Japanese carrier-based aircraft at any time.

As the Japanese aircraft carrier approaches the coast, the Japanese carrier-based aircraft can monitor the entire Songhu battlefield for a long time.

Any movement of the national army anywhere would be noticed by Japanese aircraft. Then take targeted measures.

In short, once it is monitored from the air, the national army can't even think of making any big moves.

Even launching a regiment-level battle was difficult.

We can only fight at night.

However, night fighting is really not the strong point of the national army.

If we fight the Japanese invaders at night, the loser will definitely be the national army. This is tantamount to cutting off all possibility of victory for the national army.

Zhang Yong did not answer.

Do I know how to fight?

I just want to withdraw now.

However, it cannot be withdrawn. Because Chiang Kai-shek didn't allow it.

so…

Dead end. No solution.
