Chapter 480: The Kindness of a Woman
Regarding the authenticity of the Northeast assassination intelligence, Cai Ye did not have the slightest doubt. After all, the Assassin is also famous. At that time, when the war between the southwest and the Beiyang started, a large number of northeasterners poured into the southwest. My sworn brother has a very long-term vision. Facts have proved that the power of the assassination is much greater than Cai Yi imagined, at least the intelligence office in the southwest did not get the information. The thorn has been delivered to his own hands.
Took over the information from Cai Yi. Tang Jiyao's face changed very excitingly. He looked up at Cai Ye and said, "General, I now understand why you support the Northeast." I'm afraid that's also a very important aspect, right? Tang Jiyao looked at Cai Yi's expression and was obviously in awe. Originally, Tang Jiyao thought that Cai Ye would move closer to the Northeast for the sake of national righteousness. But seeing the powerful intelligence force in the northeast and in the southwest, Tang Jiyao had a new idea. At present, the southwest economy is divided between two parties, and it is the Northeast enterprises that have the upper hand. After all, at that time, during the battle in the southwest, the northeast enterprises had too much upper hand by virtue of their geographical advantages. And now the Northeast is getting stronger, and the local Northeast industry is also getting stronger. Although those local merchants were jealous, they did not dare to use crooked ways, otherwise they would not have exerted pressure on the Southwest Governor's Palace. Instead, it directly started with the industry in the Northeast.
Tang Jiyao has always replaced Cai Ye to deal with southwest government affairs, and Cai Yi's political performance is indeed relatively naïve. But today Tang Jiyao found that Cai Yi's political naivety is sometimes his most powerful point. If Cai Ye does not agree to unite with the southwest, with the southwest, which is now surrounded by the northeast on three sides, and the northeast industry with more and more internal forces in the southwest, once a war breaks out between the two sides, the situation in the southwest will definitely be precarious. If the southwest throws into the arms of the northeast. This force will become the safest and most powerful force. In order to annex the four southwestern provinces at the lowest cost, Feng Yong would definitely let the northeastern industries in the southwest assist Cai Ye in consolidating his rule in the southwest. Thinking of this, Tang Jiyao's heart that he had been carrying was relaxed. With such a strong foreign aid from the Northeast, there is really no need for Tang Jiyao to worry.
"Governor, I suggest that the army be mobilized at once and all the hidden dangers should be solved at once." Tang Jiyao said. The appearance of the most mysterious intelligence department in the Northeast also represents an attitude, an attitude of the Northeast to fully support Cai Yi. With the strong foreign aid of the Northeast, Cai Yi's Southwest Governor's Mansion is in an invincible position.
"No, it's not sure if these things were done by these families, and if we make a rash move, we will be discredited." Cai Yi shook his head, just like rejecting Feng Yong, Cai Ye also rejected Tang Jiyao. Cai Ye is also looking forward to it in his heart, hoping that these people can get lost and know the opposite. After all, these people provided a lot of help to the government during the war in the southwest, and they were the heroes who were able to maintain the revolutionary atmosphere in the southwest.
"Governor, we cannot be a woman's mercy, and although the present form is unclear, it is better to kill a hundred by mistake than to spare one. Once these families have completed their alliance and elected a leader, it can really cause chaos at that time. Tang Jiyao persuaded.
"Say no more. I have my own decision on this matter. Cai Ye shook his head and vetoed.
It can be said that this welcome meeting was a little unhappy, after all, the atmosphere in the southwest was too depressing. Cai Ye has just returned to the southwest, and many things have not yet been figured out. He didn't want the turmoil in the southwest to start because of his suspicions.
"Old Tang, I know you're in a bad mood, go to the first division to have a look, this time the first division has reached well on the battlefield, and has played the prestige of our Chinese. Although the losses are somewhat heavy, it just so happens that you go to condolence and condolences. Cai Yi patted the old man's shoulder and said. Tang Jiyao nodded, when he heard that the First Division of the Southwest had made great contributions on the battlefield of resistance against Japan, the whole person was indeed extremely proud. No matter who led this team, after all, this was an old unit established by him Tang Jiyao, and his shadow had already been integrated into the army. It can be said that the victory of the 1st Division also has his credit.
Barracks of the 1st Division in the Southwest.
The camp of the First Division, which was originally strictly disciplined, became very lively. When Tang Jiyao arrived, he happened to see the recruits gathered around the camp of the First Division, and the noisy new guests made him frown constantly.
"What for! Loud noise, what a system! Tang Jiyao's face was very ugly. Originally, because of the eagerness to see the first division, the mood became very bad because of these noisy soldiers.
"Vice-Governor!" When these soldiers saw Tang Jiyao, whose face was stinky, their expressions changed greatly, and then they dispersed in a hurry. These are all recruits who are still training, although Tang Jiyao is angry, he naturally won't care too much. But the instructors of these recruits are going to suffer. Tang Jiyao pondered in his heart whether to give lessons to the training instructors of these recruits. Tang Jiyao is also extremely strict in governing the army, and he is most unaccustomed to loose military discipline.
"Report to the deputy governor, Lei Biao, the commander of the first division, to report." Lei Biao, who was dressed in military uniform, gave Tang Jiyao a standard military salute, Lei Biao still respected Tang Jiyao very much, and although Tang Jiyao was not leading the army, he was still the deputy commander of the new army. Lei Biao's superior, Lei Biao didn't dare to ignore it. Although Cai Ye studied in Japan, he was a soldier with traditional Chinese military morality, so his henchmen and generals naturally followed suit.
"Senior Commander Lei, thank you for your hard work. To win glory for the country, I, Tang Jiyao, am proud of you and the first division of the New Army. A smile appeared on Tang Jiyao's face, although Lei Biao was not his confidant, but the first division was his old foundation in the Yunnan army, and when he came here, listening to the words of Yunnan dialect, it naturally made him feel more cordial.
"The lieutenant governor is serious, please. The warriors must have been glad to know that the lieutenant governor had come. Lei Biao said enthusiastically.
As soon as he entered the camp of the First Division, Tang Jiyao was a little dumbfounded. Looking at the piles of Japanese-made 38-style rifles piled up outside the barracks, Zeng Liang was strong, and at first glance it was a new gun that didn't use much. There were also a large number of light and heavy machine guns. What made Tang Jiyao unbelievable the most was the row of twenty-four mountain cannons facing the sky. This kind of heavy weapon with no paint peeling off made Tang Jiyao's whole person look straight. Since its founding, the Southwest New Army has never seen this latest mountain artillery. There was only one regiment of old-fashioned artillery regiments in the entire Southwest New Army, and those artillery pieces were captured from the Beiyang Army.
"This ...... These weapons? Tang Jiyao turned to look at Lei Biao.
"Deputy Governor, this is the weapons that our first division equipped in the northeast, and some of them were captured on the battlefield, and when we left, we brought them all back!" Lei Biao said proudly. As a soldier, Lei Biao did not consider what it meant for the Northeast to allow so many arms and weapons to enter the Southwest. Although these Japanese-made weapons were captured weapons, the Japanese army had just been equipped with them, and they were all new weapons. According to Tang Jiyao's idea, before the southwest was officially annexed to the southwest, even if the northeast would arm the army in the southwest, it would be ordinary light weapons, and even if there were heavy weapons, there would be very few of them. But seeing the mountains of weapons and equipment in the barracks, Tang Jiyao found that he was really messy.
"The Northeast didn't stop you?" Tang Jiyao swallowed his saliva and said.
"Why block? If we hadn't been in a hurry to come back this time, I'm afraid we could have brought back more. Vice-Governor, you don't know, our first division is still inferior to the Northeast Army even if it is fully armed with these weapons. A division of the Northeast Army was armed with 1,500 light machine guns. Fifteen hundred! What terrifying firepower this is. Lei Biao said with envy on his face. If someone told them that the First Division was equipped with these weapons before going out of the southwest, he would definitely think that it was a fantasy, how could such a powerful level of firepower and equipment be achieved in China. But having seen the high-intensity firepower battle between Japan and the Northeast, Lei Biao found that he was really sitting in a well and watching the sky before.
"Fifteen hundred light machine guns? How is this possible? Tang Jiyao exclaimed. Although he also heard that the level of firepower of the Northeast Army was extremely high. But I definitely didn't expect the level of firepower to be so high.
"It's true. Although I don't know the specific situation, the level of firepower of the Northeast Army is extremely high. Our new army in the southwest is by no means comparable. "Lei Biao is completely convinced by the Northeast Army.
"Hmm!" Tang Jiyao nodded, not saying anything. As a politician, he certainly knows what this portends for the Southwest. It seems that the northeast is bound to annex the southwest. Then Tang Jiyao stopped thinking about it. Anyway, he was just the deputy governor of the southwest, and then he inspected the first division of the southwest with Lei Biao.
Chongqing, Welcome Building.
The atmosphere in the Yingbin Building today is very tense, and on the street where the Yingbin Building is located, the original familiar faces are almost invisible, and they are all fresh faces. But these people are all five big and three coarse, and at first glance they are not peaceful ordinary people.
On the second floor of the Welcome Building, a large round table. Sixteen people sat around the table. At the head is an old man with gray hair, who is the head row of the Robe Brothers' Society, also known as the helm handle. And the other fifteen people are the heads of the fifteen largest families in the entire southwest region.
The atmosphere of the meeting was not as warm as people imagined, but extremely dreary. The faces of the heads of the fifteen families appeared sad.
"Ladies and gentlemen, we are gathered here to consider how to maintain the status quo in the southwest, and the policy of the northeast is clear to all of you, if the southwest is really merged into the northeast, then your net worth and life may not be guaranteed." The helmsman of the Robe Brothers' Club spoke.
"Old Xiong, we just received news from our family, just today, General Cai Yi led the First Division of the Southwest back to Chengdu. Brought back to the First Division of the Southwest, I am afraid that our situation will become more difficult. A head of the house spoke.
"Yes! General Cai Yi has a very high prestige in the army. Although we try our best to support the spokesperson, no one can guarantee whether we can be General Cai's opponent. Bear old. You need to pay attention to what to do next! Another head of the house said.
