Chapter 493: Military Council (5)

The opening ceremony in the morning passed quickly, and there was nothing important about the agenda of the morning meeting, which was nothing more than to cheer everyone up, telling everyone that the future is bright and the road is tortuous, and that as long as everyone joins hands and unites sincerely, they will definitely be able to drive the Japanese invaders out of China and go to Yunyun.

The morning meeting ended at eleven o'clock, after which the group had a three-hour break for dinner and resumed in the afternoon.

Due to the large number of participants, the "Nanyue Bible School" did not have such a large cafeteria for everyone to sit in, and the conditions were limited in these years, so everyone sat in the open air on the playground, dozens of cooks pulled dozens of carts of food in a row, and everyone lined up to make a sorghum rice with some pickles and spicy cabbage, and then ate in groups.

Su Jin looked at the people around him while eating with a large porcelain bowl, but this look also made him see some fame. Although there are many people in this playground, the people are distinct, one circle is with the other circle of people. For example, those who are soldiers are with those who are soldiers, government officials are with government officials, and people in the cultural world are also with people in the cultural circles. Not only that, but the same circle is divided into small circles, for example, colonel-level officers will never mix with generals, and regiment commanders and brigade commanders will not mix with group army commanders or theater commanders.

Just as Su Jin was looking at it with relish, he found that several officers were walking next to him, Su Jin turned his head and couldn't help grinning: "Yo, Brother Jiannan, as well as Division Commander Xu, District Division Commander, and Division Commander Cheng, you are all here." ”

Ling Zhuxi also took a large porcelain bowl full of sorghum rice and walked to Su Jin's side and sat down with a smile: "Chief Su is really leisurely, hiding here alone." ”

"What are you hiding?" Su Jin laughed self-deprecatingly: "Everyone is now avoiding me like a plague god, I find that I am like a bomb now, I can hide wherever I go, there are a few gentlemen in the cultural world here just now, as soon as I came, I immediately ran away, just like I carried poison gas with me." ”

"Hahaha......"

When Ling Zhuxi and the others heard this, they immediately remembered the good things Su Jin had done a few days ago, and after glancing at each other, they laughed loudly in unison, because the laughter was too loud, but it caused many people around to look sideways.

Xu Qiming, the commander of the 161st Division, asked Su Jin very curiously: "Chief Su, I heard that your unit has successfully recovered Zhejiang, I don't know what to do next?" Should we continue to attack the Japanese army in the south or suspend the offensive to stabilize the situation in Zhejiang? ”

Su Jin laughed: "Okay, you are more senior than me and older than me, so don't call one officer at a time, so I listen awkwardly, everyone should tell me to think twice." ”

"How can this work, the chief is the chief, if there is no distinction between respect and inferiority, wouldn't it be chaotic!" Xu Qiming, Ling Qianxi and his entourage shook their heads like rattles when they heard this, they are all soldiers with orthodox education, and the people of this era are the most respectful and inferior, and there is a clear distinction between superiors and subordinates, even when they eat in the army, officers and soldiers eat separately, how dare they be as big or small as Su Jin.

"Well, since you insist on it, forget it." Seeing that these people insisted on Su Jin so reluctantly, he said: "In fact, after the recovery of Zhejiang, I plan to shrink my forces and take a defensive position, and I will not take the initiative to attack for the time being. ”

Cheng Shufen, commander of the 163rd Division, asked: "Then when does the commander think it is time for us to take the initiative?" ”

"Wait until the Japanese fight the Americans." Su Jin said without thinking.

"The Japanese are fighting with the Americans?" Su Jin's words caused several people to exclaim.

"It's impossible, the Japanese didn't even take down Huaxia, how could they be so unwise to provoke the Americans, this is not common sense!" Ling Qianxi was the first to raise an objection, only to see him say.

"At present, Japan's military strength in China has reached 850,000, and now there is only one Guards Division left in Japan, and it can be said that Japan's use of troops is already stretched, and in this case, as long as the Japanese government has a little sense, it will never provoke the United States, a formidable enemy!"

"What Jiannan said makes sense, Japan will not be so stupid, ignore China, and instead provoke a powerful country like the United States, this is not something that a reasonable government would do." Ou Yannian also agreed.

"You're all wrong." Su Jin shook his head, casually threw a few mouthfuls of sorghum rice into his mouth and chewed it before continuing: "Theoretically, your analysis makes sense, but you ignore one thing, that is, we can't use common sense to analyze the Japanese nation, and now Japan has gradually lost its mind, they are more like gamblers who are gradually losing their eyes, always delusional to use military force to obtain everything they need, which can be seen from their gradual evolution into a military government." ”

Because they didn't pay attention to lowering their voices, the sound of Su Jin, Ling Lixi and the others discussing also reached the ears of the surrounding people, and many people began to listen attentively, and Su Jin and the others, who were talking energetically, didn't notice that a group of people were walking towards them.

"You know, just this year. There was a rare drought in Japan, and the grain harvest was generally poor. For this reason, in order to meet the needs of the war, the Japanese Government implemented a policy of limiting the purchase of grain, and in addition, purchased several hundred thousand tons of flour from the international market to supplement the shortage of materials. In order to expand military production, Japan has converted many civilian factories to military use, and important resources have been controlled in a unified manner, restricting the purchase of nearly 100 kinds of goods. Lack of electricity, financial instability, and rising inflation have begun to cause dissatisfaction among the Japanese people, rather than benefiting from the war against China. ”

Just when Su Jin said that the spit was flying, there were already people standing around him, and when Ling Lixi noticed that more than a dozen people were standing in front of him, he looked up and was startled, and was about to stand up and salute but was stopped by one of them.

I only heard Su Jin continue: "Let's talk about foreign relations, Japan's foreign relations have not been smooth in the past few years. They first had a military conflict with the Soviet Union, and then because of the friction between Britain and the United States, and the aggressive foreign policy of the Japanese government, the US government was even more dissatisfied with it, so the United States unilaterally announced the abrogation of the "Japan-US Trade Treaty" last month. ”

"What does this mean?" Someone next to him said. (To be continued.) )
