Seeing that the topic had returned to the economic level, Principal Chang could only interrupt again: "As I just said, the topic of the economic level will not be discussed for the time being, and the question of the military level will continue." ”

Wen Yingxing made a look at Yang Nan.

Yang Nan understood, stepped forward and said, "Team Leader Zhong, I want to ask a question. ”

Zhong Yi naturally knew Yang Nan, and immediately said, "Staff Officer Yang, please ask." ”

Yang Nan flipped through the "Jianghan Defense Summary" in his hand and said: "I just carefully read the Jianghan Defense Outline drawn up by Team Leader Zhong, and found that the content in it covers various fields, including the military field, the economic field, the propaganda field, and even the people's livelihood field, which is a great test for the commander who actually commands the defense of Wuhan!" ”

After a pause, Yang Nan said again: "I want to ask, is there such a talent in our army?" ”

"Yes!" Zhong Yi pointed to his nose without hesitation and said, "I am!" ”

As soon as these words came out, the entire command hall was in an uproar.

Duty? Isn't that too shameless?

Principal Chang's face also sank.

To be honest, up to now, Principal Chang has not made up his mind to reuse Zhong Yi, because his adherence to the principle of non-Whampoa is beyond ordinary people's imagination!

Of course, there are historical reasons why President Chang adheres to this principle so much.

This can be traced back to the founding of the Whampoa Military Academy, at that time, the Guangzhou Nationalist Government had just been created, and the Kuomintang lacked its own strong armed forces, so it could only rely on the warlords to arm.

This situation was not changed until the Whampoa Student Army grew up!

It is precisely by relying on the Whampoa Student Army that the party-state has gradually suppressed and exterminated warlords from all walks of life, and it has come to this day!

In this process, President Chang has a deep-rooted principle of employing people, and non-Whampoa will not be reused!

And Zhong Yi was not from Huangpu, so President Chang was never able to make up his mind to put the burden of defending Greater Wuhan on Zhong Yi's shoulders.

What President Chang hopes to see most is that there is still a certain senior staff member from Huangpu who can refute Zhong Yi from the military level, and then appoint this senior staff member as the chief of staff of the Wuhan Garrison Command, but the defensive deployment of the Wuhan Defense War will still be basically carried out in accordance with the Jianghan defense outline drawn up by Zhong Yi.

As for Zhong Yi, let's sit on the cold bench for a few years in the second group!

As for what Principal Chang thinks in his heart, Zhong Yi is also insightful!

Therefore, Zhong Yi can only create public opinion and form a fait accompli!

Zhong Yi knew that it was taboo to do this, but he didn't have time to fight for it slowly, not to mention that even if he did, he might not be able to win Principal Chang's trust!

For example, Sun Liren has proven himself to be a tiger general on the battlefield of India and Burma and can take on heavy responsibilities, but when he arrived at the battlefield of the civil war between the Kuomintang and the Communist Party, Principal Chang still decisively replaced him with a general from the Whampoa department!

If it is something else, Zhong Yi can retire or let it, but it is a matter of national security and national survival, Zhong Yi has an unshirkable responsibility, he doesn't care about his personal future and reputation!

What about forcing the palace? For the country, for the nation, Lao Tzu fights!

From the bottom of his bones, Zhong Yi is a pure soldier! And not a politician!

Moreover, Zhong Yi, a soldier, is by no means loyal to the leader of President Chang, but to the Chinese nation!

At that moment, Zhong Yi said again: "The ancients recommended themselves, today I will follow the example of the ancients and boldly recommend myself, I don't want to say empty words and clichés, that's meaningless!" Today, in front of you, I will only say one sentence, hand over Wuhan to me Zhong Yi, and before March next year, the Japanese army will not want to cross the three towns of Wuhan half a step! ”

"Hiss......" There was a sudden sound of inhalation in the hall.

It was Principal Chang, and his face changed slightly, Zhong Yi dared to boast that he could hold the three towns of Wuhan for a year! This number, but it is not mentioned in the Jianghan defense summary!

At this time, it is time for Wen Yingxing to play.

Because last night, Zhong Yi had already told him!

For the sake of himself, a junior brother, Wen Yingxing is also out of the way!

Taking a deep breath, Wen Yingxing walked up to Principal Chang and said, "Principal, for the sake of the country, for the sake of the nation, and for the survival of the party and the state, I humbly implore the principal to appoint Zhong Yi as the commander of the defense of Wuhan!" ”

Yang Nan also did not hesitate to take a step forward and said loudly: "I also implore the principal to appoint Zhong Yi as the chief of staff of the Wuhan Garrison Command!" ”

Liu Sheng and Bai Chongbei glanced at each other, and also stepped forward and said: "I implore the principal to appoint Zhong Yi as the chief of staff of the Wuhan Garrison Command, and he is actually responsible for the command of the Wuhan Garrison Command!" ”

Bai Chongbei also stepped forward and said, "Humble support Director Liu's suggestion!" ”

He Yingpei's eyes flashed, and he suddenly stepped forward and said, "I also support Director Liu's suggestion!" ”

Liu Sheng, Bai Chongbei and He Yingpei have a lot of influence in the army.

Seeing that the three of them all supported Zhong Yi in unison, the senior staff members in the hall also expressed their positions one after another, imploring President Chang to appoint Zhong Yi as the chief of staff of the Wuhan Garrison Command.

Now, Principal Chang is riding a tiger!

Dismissal, with the prestige of Principal Chang at this time, is completely able to refuse!

But it is easy to dismiss, and a series of chain reactions after the rejection cannot but be considered!

First of all, rejecting the pleas of so many people, who will be the chief of staff of the Wuhan Garrison Command? Will this person be able to take on such a heavy responsibility? If you can't afford it, and the defense of Wuhan is not fought well, it will seriously weaken President Chang's personal prestige and seriously shake President Chang's foundation in the army!

Secondly, the public rejection of almost all the high-ranking staff of the high command is pleading, and it is easy to give others the impression of being stubborn and self-serving, which is very detrimental to President Chang's personal image, and several old opponents in the political circles will definitely seize this opportunity to attack him in a big way, and at that time it will inevitably be another one.

Finally, and the most realistic question, the Battle of Wuhan is overwhelming!

Seeing that Principal Chang refused to express his position, the atmosphere in the hall began to become depressing.

Zhong Yi was not in a hurry at all, he was very sure that Principal Chang would definitely choose to compromise in the end!

Because history has proved that President Chang is well versed in the essence of compromise, he was able to go from being generally unfavored at the beginning to become today's supreme leader, and being good at compromise has played a big role in it!

Facts have proved that Zhong Yi's judgment was right.

Just when everyone thought that Principal Chang would reject their arguments, Principal Chang waved his hand and said loudly: "You just don't make a case to me, I have also decided to appoint Zhong Yi as the chief of staff of the Wuhan Garrison Command, and he will actually be responsible for the command of the defense of Wuhan!" ”
