Qian Dajun saw Chairman Jiang's embarrassment, and said in a low voice: "Bench, or go to the Ministry of Military Affairs and ask Minister He to withdraw the order to expand the 367 Regiment to the 367 Brigade."

"It's not proper," Chairman Jiang waved his hand and said, "The military order is like a mountain, how can it be changed overnight?"

Qian Dajun is sleek and good at observing faces, and he has already seen that Chairman Jiang is reluctant to let Zhong Yi continue to serve as the commander of the 367 Brigade after the expansion.

At that moment, Qian Dajun said: "Bench, there is a suggestion for the humble position." ”

"Suggestion" Chairman Chiang said absentmindedly, "what suggestion"

Qian Dajun said respectfully: "Although Zhong Yi graduated from the West Point Military Academy, whether it is theoretical knowledge or actual command attainments, it is first-class, but after all, he is a returned overseas Chinese, and he studied in a military academy in the United States, so it is inevitable that he will be a little out of touch with our Chinese national conditions, so he is humbly suggested that he be allowed to join the Luojiashan Officer Training Corps."

"Hmm" Chairman Jiang's eyes immediately lit up, "Let Zhong Yi participate in the Luojiashan Officer Training Corps"

"Yes." Qian Dajun said, "Isn't the committee always worried, Zhong Yi will be excluded or even isolated by his colleagues and even superiors in the army because his ability is too outstanding, so he should be allowed to participate in the training group, and after a few months, when Zhong Yi graduates from the training group, he will have a large group of classmates, and he will never be isolated again."

Chairman Jiang thought for a while, but still shook his head and said: "I'm afraid it still won't work, when he graduates from the training regiment, he still has to return to the expanded 367 Brigade as a brigade commander."

"That's not necessarily," Qian Dajun said in a low voice, "The people who participate in the Luojiashan Officer Training Corps are all backbone officers in the army without exception, and the commission may as well prepare a number of brigade-level positions, and these officers will compete freely for posts, and the commander of the 367 Brigade will definitely be one of the positions, but it may not be the best among all the positions."

Chairman Chiang said: "There are better brigade-level positions"

The two attendant lieutenants who followed him also expressed serious suspicions.

Although there are only more than 300 remnants left in the 367 regiment, the shelf is still there, the key is that the spirit of this army has been brought out by Zhong Yi, such a force has been expanded into a brigade, and the position of the brigade commander is vacant, it will definitely make people fight for the head, and even some division commanders are willing to deign to be the commander of the 367 brigade.

Therefore, it is not an exaggeration to say that the 367 Brigade is the first brigade in the world.

Qian Dajun said: "Commission, there is a humble matter that I have long wanted to tell you." ”

When Chairman Jiang saw Qian Dajun's appearance, he reacted immediately.

At that moment, Chairman Jiang frowned and said, "Mu Yin, you want to talk about something drunk."

Yu Yi is the leader of the second group of the attendant room, and it stands to reason that he should be Qian Dajun's right-hand man.

But in fact, he was arrogant and didn't buy money at all, and the two didn't get along very well.

Of course, Chairman Jiang knew about this, but out of consideration for checks and balances, Chairman Jiang never agreed to Qian Dajun's request to replace him.

In Chairman Chiang's philosophy of life, the word checks and balances are at the core.

"Yes" Qian Dajun lowered his head and whispered, "Brother Xuyi's ability is indeed outstanding, but he is too individual, and many of his colleagues in the service area are not very harmonious, and he is worried that if he continues to let the young man stay in the second group, it may affect the combat effectiveness of the second group and even the entire service." ”

"I'll think about it." Chairman Chiang was noncommittal.

But what Qian Dajun meant, Chairman Jiang already knew.

Qian Dajun's meaning is that when Zhong Yi graduates from the Luojiashan Officer Training Corps, he will be transferred to the second group of attendants as the team leader, compared with the commander of the 367 brigade, the position of the leader of the second group of attendants is obviously more prominent and more attractive, because the second group of attendants is connected to the combat group of the headquarters, which is equivalent to the number one military adviser in the chairman's chamberlain.

There is another advantage of having Zhong Yi as the leader of the second group, that is, it is easier to cultivate loyalty to Chairman Jiang in the process of getting along with Chairman Jiang day and night, which is especially important for Zhong Yi, who is somewhat unruly and even dares to openly disobey Chairman Jiang's orders.

Chairman Chiang was a little moved.

However, Chairman Chiang did not immediately express his position.

After taking a few steps forward, Chairman Jiang said again: "Let Zhong Yi come to Wuhan first, let him join the Luojiashan Officer Training Corps first, and then talk about the rest." ”

"Yes" Qian Dajun replied respectfully, and didn't say anything more.

After taking a few steps forward, Chairman Chiang said again: "Oh yes, the Japanese army in North China is said to be ready to move again."

"Yes, take a seat." Qian Dajun said respectfully, "The 10th Division of the Japanese Army has forcibly crossed the Yellow River from near Jiyang and is rapidly advancing towards Jinan, and the 5th Division is also advancing rapidly along the Jiaoji Railway in the direction of Weixian and Qingdao.

"This Han Fuqu," Chairman Jiang said angrily, "If you don't have a little responsibility, you know how to ask the Central Committee for help."

As soon as the words fell, another attendant adjutant, Jiang Xiaozhen, hurriedly caught up and reported: "Commission, Jinan has been lost"

"Niang Xipi, how did Han Fuqu defend the city" Chairman Jiang was immediately furious when he heard this, stomped his feet and roared, "A provincial city with strong city defenses has been lost in less than two days."

After a pause, Chairman Jiang said to Qian Dajun again: "Mu Yin, hurry up and prepare the car and go to the camp."

Qian Dajun replied yes, hurriedly arranged a special car, and after a while, a Mercedes-Benz sedan quietly galloped into the hiking trail at the eastern foot of Luojia Mountain, and after picking up Chairman Jiang, he went straight to Wuhan to camp.

By the time Chairman Chiang arrived at Wuhan to camp, the headquarters had already quarreled into a pot of porridge.

Seeing Chairman Jiang coming in, He Yingqin, Bai Chongxi and other senior generals hurriedly stood up and saluted.

Chairman Jiang waved his hand and said in a deep voice: "Jingzhi, Jiansheng, what is the situation now?"

He Yingqin looked at Bai Chongxi, and Bai Chongxi introduced: "Two days ago, the Japanese army in North China forcibly crossed the Yellow River from Jiyang and Qingcheng to the south, and then the troops were divided into two roads and advanced rapidly in the direction of Jinan and Weixian respectively."

"I already know the situation." Chairman Jiang waved his hand and said, "Let's talk about the key points."

"The point is that after the loss of Jinan, the Japanese 10th Division divided its troops again, advancing to Feicheng and Tai'an respectively, and the Japanese troops stationed in Pukou are also gathering, obviously preparing to attack north along the Tianjin-Pudong Railway. "

As soon as he heard this, Chairman Chiang's face became gloomy.

I thought that after the capture of Nanjing, the Japanese army's offensive would be slightly restrained, but I didn't expect that it would be less than a week, and it started a new big move
