Chapter 160: Summoned
Su Jin sat on the chair, holding a cup of tea in his hand and kept drinking, the slightly bitter taste constantly stimulated the buds on his tongue, which made his originally anxious mood a little soothed.
Lin Wei, who was on the side, didn't feel strange when he saw Su Jin's slightly nervous appearance, after all, he was summoned by Chairman Jiang, and it was impossible to say that he was not nervous. How many generals who are decisive in killing on weekdays or officials with great authority are so nervous that they can't speak when they meet the chairman of the committee, Su Jin is already very good.
He comforted: "Brigade Commander Su, don't be nervous, you can answer whatever the chairman asks after the meeting goes in, as long as you don't make any extraneous branches, the chairman will not lose his temper easily." ”
Su Jin smiled bitterly after hearing this, others didn't know that as a self-proclaimed international military commentator, he had studied the life of Chairman Jiang for a while, and in Su Jin's opinion, Chairman Jiang's personality was extremely contradictory. First of all, he has a short temper and beats and scolds the people around him many times, from soldiers to guards, and even his original wife. Although he reviewed every time he hit, he repeatedly reviewed and did not change. But from this point of view, it is by no means an exaggeration to say that Chairman Chiang is a green-skinned hooligan. But in fact, you can't just judge this person.
Su Jin remembered that when he was a child, both teachers and textbooks called him "Lao Jiang", "Jiang Baldhead", or "Transport Captain". Of course, the nickname of the captain of the transport brigade is obviously meant to be ridiculed, which means that he does not know how to fight, and the guns and cannons have been captured by our army, like a waste specially sent to send guns and cannons.
Later, when I grew up, I read and read, and I slowly realized that there are many sides to things, and Chairman Jiang is not exactly a fool who can only send things to defeat the battle as the teacher and textbooks say. For this reason, Su Jin went to the Hoover Institution to look through his diary for a while.
It wasn't until this time that Su Jin didn't know. It turned out that Chairman Chiang had been keeping a diary since 1915, and it was not interrupted until he was bedridden in 1972, and except for the four years lost during this period, a total of 53 years of diaries were preserved, and almost not a day was lost. This is unique among the leaders of China and even the world, and no one has such a long diary, which is a rare and remarkable phenomenon.
However, Jiang also has a lot of problems, for example, he thinks very highly of himself, he has always firmly believed that Huaxia has hope with himself, and evaluates his military talent more than Sun Tzu. Literary talent dominates the world. Su Jin found that Jiang was extremely optimistic about himself in his diary, so he took care of everything, down to where the garbage at home should be piled up, how to get rid of the bed bugs in the plank bed, and even the length of the girl's hair. Having dinner with the Propaganda Minister of the Central Committee of the Kuomintang again, Chiang thought that he was too ugly to eat, and also wrote in his diary. 'I'm going to say hello to him'. ”
Facing such a complex and changeable guy, Su Jin couldn't help but be nervous, after all, his strength was not high enough to turn against Jiang now, if Jiang wanted to deal with him, I was afraid that just a phone call would solve the problem.
"Let's click". The door opened, and a major walked in and said to Su Jin with a smile: "Brigade Commander Su, the chairman wants to see you, please come with me." ”
Su Jin stood up. After straightening up his already neat clothes, and trying his best to look more energetic, he followed the major out of the room.
Out of the room. The two of them turned two corners before they came to the door of a seemingly ordinary room. The major first knocked on the door, then pushed open the door and walked in, and soon the major walked out and nodded to Su Jin: "Brigade Commander Su, Chairman of the Committee, please go in!" ”
Su Jin straightened his military hat, took a deep breath, and then strode into the room.
"Let's click" The door closed, and Su Jin looked up to see that a middle-aged man wearing a black robe, a thin face, and sparse short hair on the desk four or five meters away from him was correcting the official document with his head down. Su Jin strode forward, stood about two meters away from the desk, saluted a military salute, and said loudly: "Report to the chairman of the committee, the commander of the Shandong Independent Brigade Su Jin was ordered to come to report, please give the chairman a lecture!" ”
The person sitting behind the desk raised his head and looked at Su Jin, and a familiar face of Su Jin appeared in front of him.
Two rather stern gazes continued to patrol Su Jin's body, and Su Jin felt his gaze sweep him from head to toe, and finally stopped on his face, and a slightly sharp Fenghua accent voice sounded.
"You are Su Jin? Yes, he looks like a talent, sit down! ”
"Chairman Xie!"
Su Jin did not hesitate, turned around and walked to the sofa on the side and sat down very simply, and when he sitting, his body was also stretched straight, maintaining a proper military sitting posture, Chairman Jiang, who was sitting behind the desk, nodded secretly in his heart when he saw it, and his voice was kinder.
"Don't be inhibited, relax. I called you over this time, mainly to see what you are like as a general who has beaten the Japanese and abandoned their armor, you must know that there are a lot of rumors about you outside now, and your security brigade is very famous now! ”
Su Jin hurriedly said modestly: "The chairman of the committee has won the award, and the reason why the department can make some small achievements is due to the soldiers' hard work and the good command of the peak, and the department does not dare to take credit." ”
"Eh......" Chairman waved his hand: "You don't have to be modest, I know better than you what the virtues of those people below are, you can build your own security regiment, obey the government's dispatch and go to the front line to fight the enemy, this is not easy, at least compared to those who only occupy the mountain and think about themselves." ”
"Thank you, Chairman for your compliment!" Su Jin's face showed a hint of excitement at the right time.
Then the chairman's faint voice sounded: "Su Jin, I heard that you have a very good relationship with the Germans, and you can buy a large amount of arms from them, is that so?" ”
Su Jin's heart tightened, has he finally reached the point? He knew that his rapid rise had attracted the attention of many people, and there must have been too many people inquiring about him these days.
Qiang calmed down his mood for a while, and after sorting out the rhetoric that he had prepared a long time ago, he said slowly: "Chairman, this is the case, the department has traveled in Germany for a period of time and made some friends, and several of them work in German foreign firms, so there are channels to get some arms. ”
"Oh......" The chairman nodded thoughtfully, and suddenly asked, "So you got all the weapons used by your troops?" ”
"Yes!" Su Jin nodded.
"Is it possible to get some heavy artillery from Germany, let's say a 150-caliber howitzer?"
"This ......" Su Jin was a little stunned when he heard this, and only shook his head with a wry smile for a long time and said: "Chairman, this is beyond the scope of the department's ability, now Germany has formed an alliance with Japan, and heavy artillery is a weapon that the German government strictly prohibits exporting. ”
"Alas......" The commissioner sighed slightly, presumably he also knew that this was beyond Su Jin's ability, and it was difficult for some strong people.
Seeing that the atmosphere was a little dull, the chairman took the initiative to change the topic: "Brigade Commander Su, what do you think of the current war in Wuhan?" ”
Su Jin was silent for a moment before he said: "Chairman of the Committee, please forgive the Ministry for saying that although our army inflicted heavy casualties on the Japanese army in this Wuhan battle, Wuhan will not be able to hold it after all." ”
When he said this, Su Jin was also a little apprehensive in his heart, after all, the war in Wuhan was raging now, but Su Jin said here that Wuhan could not be held, and if this word spread, I am afraid it will shake the hearts of the army.
It's just that the chairman of the committee didn't get angry as he imagined, but stared at Su Jin and said coldly: "Can you give me a reason?" ”
Facing the chairman's soul-piercing eyes, Su Jin still straightened up and said: "Judging from the current battle situation, although our army won several battles some time ago, and even completely annihilated the Japanese 106th Division and Suzuki Brigade, which also caused a lot of casualties to the Japanese army, but from the overall battle situation, the decadence of our army is becoming more and more obvious, and our army's defense line is getting closer and closer to the urban area of Wuhan. In order to break the stalemate as soon as possible, the Japanese are bound to launch a second offensive. Like what...... Occupy Guangzhou! ”
"Guangzhou!" The chairman's eyes flashed with a hint of surprise: "Are you so sure that the Japanese will attack Guangzhou?" ”
"Of course!" Su Jin's tone was very affirmative.
"At present, most of China's coastal areas have been occupied by the Japanese army, and now the Japanese army can completely block China's access to the sea as long as it occupies Guangzhou, and after losing the access to the sea, the assistance of Western countries to China will also be forced to stop, so that China's great cause of the War of Resistance against Japanese Aggression will also suffer a major setback. A few days ago, in order to defend Wuhan, China has transferred the main forces of Guangdong to the Wuhan area, and now Guangzhou can be described as empty of troops, and the Japanese army only needs to launch an attack on Guangzhou with its 21st Army in the Guangdong area, and I estimate that the defenders of Guangzhou can still resist for a month at most.
After the loss of Guangzhou, the Guangdong-Hanzhou railway was cut off, and Wuhan's strategic position was inevitably reduced. In this way, it is no longer necessary to defend Wuhan, and my country is vast, and there is really no need to fight all the elites of the national army here with the Japanese in order to defend Wuhan, so I think it is necessary and a helpless choice to abandon Wuhan. ”
Chairman Chiang fell into deep thought for a moment, and his office fell into a deathly silence.
After a long time, Chairman Jiang raised his head and exclaimed: "I didn't expect that you, a young man who has been a soldier for less than a year, can have such a keen strategic vision, which is really amazing." A few days ago, Chen Cixiu and Bai Jiansheng also told me about this, but I didn't expect you to have the same opinion as them, what a hero is a teenager. ”
Speaking of this, the chairman looked at Su Jin with a hint of appreciation: "Brigade Commander Su, I don't know what your words are?" ”
"What...... Table? Su Jin was stunned. (To be continued.) )
