7.5 First telegram

Seeing the change in Minister He's face, Cao Haosen understood that Minister He had seen something from Chief Li's telegram, but unfortunately he still hadn't been able to come up with a clue. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 info is still a grade worse than Minister He...... Cao Haosen shook his head a little self-deprecatingly.

Why don't you ask Chief Li's good brother "Little Zhuge " what he thinks? Minister Ho suddenly realized that he had overlooked a very important person.

In order to transfer Huang Haoran's troops to Xuzhou, Chief Li turned his fate into the head of Minister He, and with the relationship between Chief Li and "Xiao Zhuge ", "Little Zhuge " really has no reason not to know about this matter!

Maybe now "Xiao Zhuge " is waiting for Minister He's call?

Minister He picked up the phone on the table, and then said into the microphone: "Hey! I am Ho.... Mr. He! Give me the office of the deputy director! ”

Maybe he hasn't used his other position for too long, and Minister He actually got stuck when he reported to his home! Cao Haosen couldn't help but show a hint of a smile.

In fact, Minister He, the Minister of Military Affairs, has a higher title on his head, that is, Chief of Staff of the Military Commission. "Xiao Zhuge ", the head of the military training department, is also the deputy chief of staff of the Military Commission. But except in public, Minister He and "Xiao Zhuge " still claim to be ministers.

Mr. He! This is a title that sounds a hundred times more majestic than Minister He, and it is also more in line with Minister He's identity as the No. 2 person in the "Whampoa Department", but why does Minister He rarely pay lip service to this higher position?

There's a twist and turn......

After the outbreak of the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression, the Supreme Council of National Defense and the Joint Conference of the Nanjing Government decided to make the Military Commission the supreme command of the War of Resistance against Japanese Aggression and authorized the Military Council to exercise unified command over the party, government, and army. Later, however, some people in the government proposed to emulate Japan's wartime system and set up a base camp to command the army, navy, and air force and guide the whole people in the war of resistance. The first to sixth departments and rear service, management, health service and other departments were also established as the base camp offices.

The military council and the base camp are completely overlapping in terms of their functions, and the reason why there are two supreme commands in China is entirely the result of the competition between various forces within the government. For the sake of their own selfish interests, these people disregarded the crisis of the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression and turned against each other, causing confusion in China's military command system.

In order to put an end to this chaotic situation, the supreme authorities decided not to set up a separate base camp, and transferred the 1st to 6th Departments and the Management Department, which were originally based on the base camp, under the control of the Military Commission.

It's easy to build a team, but it's not so easy to cut a team! Where will the extra people be arranged after the streamlining? It's a big headache! The government's process of dismantling the base camp has been fraught with obstacles due to the forces involved. It worked from August 1937 until January 1938, when the base camp was finally abolished. In the process, the supreme authorities, who hold the power to appoint and dismiss personnel, have installed a large number of cronies in the military committee. With these horses charging ahead, the status of the highest authorities in the military council has risen to the point where they can call the wind and rain!

Everyone knows that the supreme authorities are engaged in "one word hall" behind closed doors in the Military Commission, and Minister He and "Xiao Zhuge ", the pair of chief and deputy chiefs of staff, are just putting on a show!

In the eyes of the officials of the Military Commission, Minister He and "Xiao Zhuge "The real one-acre and three-point field is still in the Ministry of Military Affairs and the Military Training Department, and only in these two places can Minister He and "Little Zhuge Ge" get back some of the feeling of being masters!

In the final analysis, Minister He still doesn't want to be used as a façade, so he is very resistant to the high hat of the chief of staff!

Cao Haosen can understand Minister He's approach, if he is replaced, maybe he will do even worse!

Endurance is another place where Cao Haosen admires Minister He!

Minister He guessed right! "Little Zhuge " is waiting for his call at the moment!

After the government moved to Wuhan, the Supreme Authority reorganized the Military Commission in order to separate the party, government and the military, and the government training director department was renamed the military training department. "Xiao Zhuge " was appointed as minister, and Liu Tuyi and Chen Jiji were appointed as deputy ministers.

The Military Training Department is in charge of the training, collation, and review of the national army; improvement of military school education; Compared with "Xiao Zhuge " in the planning and review of soldiers' education, in fact, it is more appropriate for Jiang Baili to serve as the head of the military training department.

The fact that the Military Commission has put "Xiao Zhuge Brother" in charge of such research matters as the education of academies and universities, the proofreading, the compilation of reference books, and the compilation of equipment in the military science and discipline can be regarded as a pair of small shoes given to the "Gui Department" by the highest authorities.

The depression of "Little Zhuge " is not to be mentioned! "Little Zhuge ", who longed for the sound of guns and gunpowder smoke, can only send telegrams to the 5 war zones a few times a day, and he can't fight the little devils himself, and it is not bad to talk to Chief Li in the telegram about the dry addiction of talking on paper.

Last night, "Xiao Zhuge " received a secret telegram from Chief Li, and Chief Li and Minister Bai were called "Li Bai". The two are now the most powerful local military forces in the Republic of China--- the center of the "Gui system", and have been cooperating closely for many years. Initially, the two joined Sun Yat-sen's revolutionary camp in Guangzhou, and together they drove out the old warlords in Guangxi. During the Northern Expedition, Chief Li and Minister Bai led the Guangxi army to Shanhaiguan. After the success of the Northern Expedition, the "Gui faction" fought many wars with the supreme authorities and other local forces.

Minister Bai is brave and superhuman, clever with military ingenuity, profound strategy, amazing memory, good at capturing battlefield information, known as "Xiao Zhuge ", "contemporary Zhang Liang", "modern first Junmin soldier" among the generals of the Republic of China, and his outstanding military talent is valued by many military masters, and even the Japanese call it "God of War".

After the Northern Expedition, he suppressed old generals such as Li Mingrui and Yu Zuoyu, and promoted his favorite upstarts such as Hu Zongduo and Tao Jun, which resulted in the division and collapse of the highest authorities, and the Fourth Army was wiped out without a battle.

It turns out that the white minister is small and easy to win, and he is only suitable for being a staff officer. It was his blessing that he had met the magnanimous lord of Chief Lee. The two of them, together with Huang Shaohong's super political strategy, have achieved the glory of the Xingui family from Zhennan Pass to Shanhaiguan.

Therefore, what Chief Li explained, "Little Zhuge " will do his best to do it.

"Brother Jing! I'm so glad I was waiting for your call! Officials in Wuhan are reluctant to get too close to our local factions! Now that Brother Delin has gone to Xuzhou again, the office of me, the head of the military training department, is about to become moldy......!"

As soon as the phone was connected, the voice of "Xiao Zhuge " came out of the microphone, and Minister He was stunned at first, and then relieved.

It seems that this "Xiao Zhuge " has already told the call room that he can only approach his phone to his office, and what else can be worthy of "Xiao Zhuge " to make these arrangements, except for Chief Li's affairs?

Minister He said with a smile: "It is said that Jiansheng is Xiao Zhuge , today I really believe it!" I don't have the ability to listen to the bell and argue with the visitor! I can't envy your ability! I really encountered a difficult thing, and I came to invite you as a military advisor! ”

"Xiao Zhuge " did not continue to play the trick of Tai Chi pushing hands with Minister He, without further ado, Chief Li of Xuzhou is still waiting for the letter!

"Brother Jing! I don't say anything about it in front of you, the true Buddha, the matter of Xuzhou, I hope that Brother Jing will look at the overall situation of the Anti-Japanese War and pull Chief Li a hand! I know that it is not easy for you, Brother Jingzhi, so I have already helped you think of a way, as long as the Ministry of Military Affairs can transfer the 23rd Army of the Sichuan Army from Anqing, and then give the 51st Army to Huang Haoran, the rest of the things will be handled by me Bai Jiansheng! Brother Jing's favor, our Gui Department will definitely return it in the future! ”

Didn't Chief Li's telegram only mention the 51st Army? Why did "Little Zhuge appear" a 23 legion here again? Minister He went through the words of "Xiao Zhuge " in his head, and he found that "Xiao Zhuge " was helping Chief Li plug the leak!

Although Chief Li's plan is good, there is still a loophole, that is, there are several miscellaneous armies that withdrew to Anqing with the 99th Army, although Chief Li quickly transferred the 57th Army, but there are still Guangdong troops and Sichuan troops left, if Huang Haoran really gets the commendation order of the highest authority and the letter of appointment from the Ministry of Military Affairs, then he will definitely immediately attack these miscellaneous cards around him, and it is not a very simple matter to annex a force, "Xiao Zhuge Minister He was asked to transfer the 23rd Army Corps because he was worried that Huang Haoran would be too full in Anqing and would be reluctant to go to Xuzhou due to indigestion.

With this move made up by "Xiao Zhuge ", Chief Li's fishing plan became flawless!

Don't look at the miscellaneous army in front of Huang Haoran There are four or five army-level numbers, but in fact, Huang Haoran can only move the 57th Army from the Northeast Army and the two armies of the Sichuan Army, Xu Yuanquan's second army is the Guangdong Army, and Huang Haoran wants to annex the Guangdong troops under the nose of Cheng Qian, the commander of the First Theater of Operations, unless he is crazy!

Transferring the 23rd Army Corps out of Anqing is indeed a matter of effort, after all, this is in line with the idea of the highest authorities, when the 23rd Army is still in Wuhu, the people of the Political Department have done a lot of work within the 23rd Army Corps, and Liu Xiang, the bigwig of the Sichuan Army, is still lying in the Wanguo Hospital in Hankou, although Dai Yunong's military unification has directly sealed Liu Xiang's illness tightly, but judging from the recent series of actions of the Supreme General Authority and the Political Department of the Sichuan Army, Liu Xiang is afraid that it is impossible to leave the Wanguo Hospital!

Many people in the government are fighting Liu Xiang's troops, and Minister He believes that Huang Haoran must have thought about attacking the 23rd Army, but as long as the highest authorities come out, then everyone will have to stand aside! Sichuan! The highest authority is going to decide! The Sichuan army must also withdraw from the stage of history!

"Since Jiansheng, you don't treat me He Jingzhi as an outsider, I simply open the skylight and say something! It is not difficult to transfer the 23rd Army to leave Anqing! But it is not so easy to stuff the 51st Army to Huang Haoran! The meaning of the commission has come down, Huang Haoran's 99th Army has been expanded into the 25th Group Army, in addition to retaining the number of the 99th Army, another army-level empty number is given, and what troops the 25th Group Army wants to absorb into it is all up to Huang Haoran himself! Even if we let Huang Haoran have no one to start with in Anqing, it doesn't mean that he will go to Xuzhou! After all, in the battle of Nanjing, Huang Haoran's losses were not small! If it were you and me, I'm afraid I would have to fix it first, right? ”

Minister He's words were very sincere, and if he, a bureaucrat who had been rolling in the officialdom for half his life, poured out so many truths at once, the face of Chief Li and "Xiao Zhuge " was really big enough!

It was also the first time for Cao Haosen to see Minister He talking to someone so heartily, and then thinking that the other party was still the leader of the "Gui family", Cao Haosen's heart couldn't help but think.

"You don't have to respect the brother, you really go to stuff! It's just a choice for Huang Haoran, if you and I were replaced, I might really ignore the tens of thousands of Northeast Army, but Huang Haoran is not necessarily! Brother Delin has a high opinion of Huang Haoran in private! Perhaps, what Huang Haoran is waiting for now is just an excuse! ”

The words of "Xiao Zhuge " made Minister He completely "surprised"! Prior to this, Minister He had considered almost all aspects of the situation, but he had not considered Huang Haoran's thoughts! Judging from the performance on the battlefields of Songhu and Nanjing, Huang Haoran is a complete "hawk", in his eyes, this battle between China and Japan is blood for blood! Isn't the prestige of the 99th Army in the eyes of the common people made by Huang Haoran with the flesh and blood of the Japanese?

It can be said that without this war, there would be no Huang Haoran! It was this War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression that made him! Huang Haoran wants to continue to climb up and reach a higher ladder of power! The only way to do this is to continue to fight the Japanese!

Don't ask for a city, but ask for a murderous sword! All Huang Haoran needs now is a reason to pull the trigger on the Japanese!

Minister He decided to sell a favor to Chief Li and "Xiao Zhuge ", maybe this time, he can also turn his rivalry with Huang Haoran into a jade silk by the way!

The commendation order is still the commendation order, the letter of appointment is still the letter of appointment, the difference is that before this, Minister He first issued an order to mobilize the 23rd Army Corps of the Sichuan Army, and then solemnly recommended the 51st Army behind the commendation order and letter of appointment to Huang Haoran.

All this done by the Ministry of Military Affairs did not touch the principles and bottom line of the highest authorities, but it may change the course and outcome of the Battle of Xuzhou!

Minister He suddenly felt that he was a little envious of Huang Haoran, on such a dazzling stage as Xuzhou, Minister He hadn't stepped on it for a long time! In the minds of the Chinese people, the name Minister He is still connected with the infamous "He-Mei Agreement"!

*************************************************

Anqing, Linjiang Village, Dadukou Town, Headquarters of the 23rd Army Corps.

Tang Shizun was very excited after receiving the order from the Ministry of Military Affairs! When Liu Xiang suffered a stomach attack and was admitted to the hospital, Wuhan sent someone to connect with Tang Shizun.

In the vast Sichuan, the country of abundance, the Central Army of the highest authority had been denied access to it before the outbreak of the Anti-Japanese War. Now that the whole country is resisting the rise, Liu Xiang is seriously ill, and finally gives the highest authorities a chance to meddle in Sichuan politics. Tang Shizun has realized that sooner or later the territory of Sichuan will fall into the hands of the highest authorities, and the highest authorities will inevitably need to install a pawn in Sichuan, Tang Shizun feels that he should be the first to become this agent!

So Tang Shizun and the representatives of Wuhan hit it off! His 21st Army immediately reached an intention to defect to the highest authorities! Then Tang Shizun began to work with the officials of the Political Department sent from Wuhan to do the work of Pan Wenhua's division of the 23rd Army, which belonged to the same 23rd Army as the 21st Army.

Tang Shizun didn't expect him to encounter a strong backlash from Pan Wenhua!

Several division commanders and brigade commanders of the 23rd Army almost didn't point at Tang Shizun's nose and scold his ancestors for eight generations! The 21st Army and the 23rd Army returning to Sichuan together can only start with a high profile and end with a low profile!

Tang Shizun thought about it afterwards, and felt that he had Wuhan behind him, so he didn't want to see Pan Wenhua's face, so he discussed with the people from the Political Department and started the method, the 21st Army was not going to talk directly to the main officers of the 23rd Army, and the 20th used the grassroots officers and soldiers to see the relationship between the villagers and began to dig the wall little by little, promising to take these Sichuan children back to Sichuan, which is Tang Shizun's new killer feature!

With the efforts of Tang Shizun, at least thirty percent of the officers and soldiers of the 21st Army have loosened their attitudes, but unfortunately the 101st Division of the Japanese Army later appeared outside Wuhu City, and the continuous battles made Tang Shizun's efforts in vain!

But Tang Shizun was not discouraged! When the 23rd Army retreated to Anqing under the leadership of Huang Haoran, Tang Shizun was ready to pull the officials of the Ministry of Military Affairs to make a comeback, but this time, the officials of the Ministry of Military Affairs were not too active. Later, under Tang Shizun's repeated urging, the major general Shang sent by Wuhan to negotiate with the Sichuan Army simply told Tang Shizun directly that as long as he could control the 21st Army!

Tang Shi is in a hurry! What are these words? If the 23rd Army is missing Pan Wenhua's 23rd Army, it will be equivalent to not having half of its strength! There are many local forces in Sichuan, and if Tang Shizun can't swallow the 23rd Army, I'm afraid it will be difficult to have the qualifications to talk to Deng Xihou, Pan Wenhua, Wang Zhangxu and others! The highest authorities will not keep a wasted person! Without the Northeast Army's Zhang Shaomarshal and the Northwest Army's General Yang, what would happen now? Tang Shizun felt that this was all a lesson for him!

If the Ministry of Military Affairs doesn't do it, Tang Shizun will do it himself! He asked his officers to start repeating the old tricks of Pan Wenhua's 23rd Army, and Tang Shizun, who thought that it would be a good effect, was disappointed this time! After the 23rd Army went from Wuhu to Anqing, it seemed that it had changed its backbone overnight! The officers and soldiers of the 21st Army were coercive and inducing, but they were never able to move the Sichuan Army brothers of the 23rd Army to return to Sichuan with Tang Shizun. The gray Tang Shizun ran to Major General Shang of the Ministry of Military Affairs to find some comfort, but he was reprimanded by Major General Shang!

Tang Shizun, who was suffering from splinting on both sides, was depressed and wanted to vomit blood!

What really happened inside the 23rd Army? Why is it that the whole army is like being beaten with chicken blood? Tang Shizun never understood this question. He is still waiting for the opportunity to attack the 21st Army!

This new order from the Ministry of Military Affairs gave Tang Shizun hope! The entire 23rd Army Corps marched to Jiujiang, which was the territory of the highest authorities, and Tang Shizun felt that the highest authorities had designated the 23rd Army this time! Pan Wenhua, Pan Wenhua! You melon baby didn't expect to have today, right?

Tang Shizun has already begun to look forward to the scene of him becoming the new commander of the 23rd Army Corps! (To be continued, if you want to know what will happen next, please log in to the www.qidian.com, more chapters, support the author, support genuine reading!) (To be continued.) )
