7.14 Xiao Zhuge Request

Because of the involvement in foreign affairs, Wang Chonghui, then China's foreign minister, soon received a call from Qian Dajun, the head of the chamberlain. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 ｉｎｆｏ

Needless to say, the highest authorities must have seen the statement by Konoe Fumima. After Wang Chonghui learned of the contents of the "Konoe Statement," he immediately began to think of ways to deal with it, and he knew that the highest authorities would definitely ask for his opinion.

Since the all-out war of resistance, Wang Chonghui has begun to see the highest authorities more and more often, and the scolding he has received has also increased day by day. Before the start of the war, the supreme authorities had always held out hopes that international forces would intervene in the Sino-Japanese war, but the actual situation after that developed was completely different from the original assumption of the supreme authorities, and the masters would not take the initiative to take responsibility, so the Ministry of Foreign Affairs became the scapegoat of the supreme authorities.

Gradually, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs began to lose its place in important government meetings, and the life of Wang Chonghui, the foreign minister, began to become more and more difficult......

Weak countries have no diplomacy, this is the cruel reality that China is facing now! What can Wang Chonghui do? Besides, he, the foreign minister, is actually an ornament, and the foreign ministry has been a puppet of the highest authorities for so many years. Almost all major matters are instructed by the highest authorities first, and then handed over to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs to be handled.

touched a nose of ash with a foreigner, and when he came back, he had to put a hot face on the cold ass of the highest authority, and Wang Chonghui, who was angry inside and outside, lived very aggrieved!

Until August 21, 1937, Wang Chonghui and Soviet Ambassador to China Bogomolov signed the Sino-Soviet Non-Aggression Pact in Nanjing on behalf of their own governments. His Ministry of Foreign Affairs has gained weight in the eyes of the highest authorities.

Wang Chonghui is now paying close attention to every meeting he has with the highest authorities, as well as every meeting attended by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs. He is trying to get on the pulse of the highest authorities, and only then will his Ministry of Foreign Affairs not be far from the center of government power.

In the days of sitting on the cold bench, Wang Chonghui has had enough!

Half an hour after putting down the phone, Wang Chonghui rushed from the Ministry of Foreign Affairs to the official residence of the highest authority. He followed Qian Dajun into the conference room on the second floor, which was already full of senior officials of the Wuhan government. Seeing Qian Dajun leading Wang Chonghui in, Minister He, Wang Zhaoming, "Xiao Zhuge " and others all looked at Wang Chonghui, the foreign minister, with concerned eyes. It seems that Wang Chonghui is still one of the protagonists of this meeting today!

Seeing everyone's reaction, Wang Chonghui had already determined in his heart that this emergency meeting held at the official residence was all due to the statement of Konoe Fumima.

Luckily, he's ready!

Seeing that the important figures of the Wuhan government were almost there, the highest authorities asked Qian Dajun to announce the beginning of the meeting, and after the usual understanding and greetings, the highest authorities threw the original text of the "Konoe Statement" on the meeting table, and then said sharply:

"The Japanese made another statement today! I'm afraid there are still many people here who haven't seen this thing! Money room chief! You come to read it to everyone! ”

"Yes! Commission! ”

Qian Dajun stood up from behind the supreme authority, picked up the original text of the "Guards Statement" on the conference table, and began to read it aloud. Listening to the provocative words of the Japanese, the Wuhan officials at the conference table had different expressions.

Most of you heard this statement for the first time, and their first reaction was basically anger.

Minister He, "Xiao Zhuge " and Wang Chonghui already knew the content of this statement, and several of them now seemed relatively calm. And Wang Zhaoming's attitude is more funny.

With Wang Zhaoming's status and his attention to the news of the Japanese side, it is absolutely impossible not to know this statement, and it is also an informed person, Wang Zhaoming's performance is far from Minister He, "Xiao Zhuge " and Wang Chonghui!

Wang Zhaoming always believes that China will die if it fights again. This tough statement by Konoe Wenma has obviously broken down Wang Zhaoming's psychological defense, and now Wang Zhaoming is flustered......

"Little Zhuge ", who had already looked down on Wang Zhaoming, snorted coldly, and his cold snort was full of disdain for Wang Zhaoming!

No wonder the highest authorities say that Wang Zhaoming is a scholar! Fighting a war, you really can't rely on such a little white face!

After Qian Dajun finished reading the "Guards Statement", it was time for the vulgar part of the generals' "generous resignation", Minister He was the first to stand up and scolded the Japanese, and then Wang Chonghui followed, and then Wang Zhaoming also said a few tough words very cooperatively, and the rhetoric of the three people was much the same, neither characterizing the behavior of the Japanese, nor mentioning what countermeasures the Wuhan government should take.

Everyone in the conference room knew that such a major event had to be decided by the highest authorities, and no matter how lively Minister He, Wang Chonghui and Wang Zhaoming said, it was just a formality.

"Xiao Zhuge " pulled his collar hard, and then turned his gaze to the face of the highest authority, "Xiao Zhuge " understood that before the highest authority expressed his attitude, the people who spoke at the conference table were probably saying some unnutritious words to prevaricate, and to solve the problem, it was up to this bald head.

The outbreak of the all-out war of resistance created the supreme authority in the government today.

The advantage of the supreme authority's supremacy is that the fragmented China has finally been integrated; But at the same time, this transcendent status also brings a lot of disadvantages; People in the government no longer take the initiative to think about things, but gather around the highest authorities all day long to watch what they say.

It was as if the feudal dynasty, which had been wiped out for decades, had returned overnight! Now this depressing atmosphere in the Wuhan government has made "Xiao Zhuge feel a little breathless"!

Under the ardent expectations of "Xiao Zhuge ", the highest authorities finally opened their mouths, and unlike Minister He and Wang Zhaoming, the highest authorities had almost no concerns when they spoke, and his transcendent status gave him an incomparably powerful voice to speak, and in this Wuhan government, no one dared to doubt what the highest authorities said at all.

The highest authority looked around the room, and all the generals behaved like quails under his gaze! What is the difference between such a status and the emperor of a feudal dynasty? The pleasure of absolute power is the best tonic for the highest authorities!

The highest authority cleared his throat and then said in a loud voice:

"The Japanese donkey skills are poor! When we are in a dilemma, we dare to say this wild thing, Japan is in danger! ”

As soon as these words came out, the entire conference room was as quiet as a tomb!

The words of the highest authority surprised Wang Chonghui a lot! Minister He, on the other hand, was a little unimpressed, believing that the supreme authorities were just imposing heroes, and that the situation in the War of Resistance was far less optimistic than the supreme authorities had said

As Minister of Military Affairs, Minister He was well aware of the series of military defeats of the Chinese army, so he also felt very uncertain about the future of the war. Seeing that the highest authorities were still saying some heroic words to comfort themselves, Minister He couldn't help but open his mouth:

"What the commissioner said is extremely true. It's just that at the moment, the Japanese are eyeing Xuzhou. Does the chairman think that Li Delin's motley troops will be able to withstand the Japanese? ”

As soon as Minister He's words were finished, "Xiao Zhuge " was staring at the reaction of the highest authorities, and now Xuzhou is in charge of Chief Li, so "Little Zhuge " is particularly concerned about Minister He's problem.

The highest authority glared at He Yingqin and wanted to say something, but the words came to his lips and swallowed back. Minister He's remarks suddenly brought the highest authorities back to reality.

The supreme authorities are not afraid of these Japanese troops scurrying around on the land of China, he knows very well in his heart that compared with China, Japan is a small country after all, and in the face of China, which has a vast territory, the Japanese who are close to exhaustion of their military strength want to win this war in the end, it is just a fool's dream!

However, this is only a long-term situation, and the immediate problem is that the Japanese army on the Chinese battlefield has not suffered any serious losses, the combat effectiveness of the troops is still very strong, and the Chinese army is not an opponent of the Japanese army for the time being.

The Chinese army was newly defeated in Beijing and Shanghai, losing nearly 30,000 troops and greatly damaging its vitality. If Xuzhou is easily lost, the Japanese can easily occupy the Central Plains, and then wave their troops to attack Wuhan! In that case, the Central Army of the highest authorities will lose a respite!

If there is no time, there is no hope of turning the book!!

The longer the Battle of Xuzhou is fought, the better the Central Army of the highest authority will be able to recover!

Thinking of this, the highest authority looked at Minister He and said in a resolute tone:

"Respectfully! Xuzhou must be guarded! And you have to try to keep it for a long time! It must be known that today's Jinpu Road defense is tomorrow's Wuhan defense! The longer the Jinpu Road is held, the better prepared the Battle of Wuhan will be! I believe that the Japanese will attack Wuhan this year......"

The words of the highest authorities were simply a 180-degree turn, which made Wang Chonghui, who was surprised just now, even more completely confused! Just now it was said that the Japanese were in a dilemma, but now they say that the Japanese will attack Wuhan soon! Is this situation going to get better or worse?

Wang Chonghui originally planned to wait and see from beginning to end, but now that the decision of the highest authority is a major matter for the country and the nation, Wang Chonghui really can't help but want to express some of his opinions.

The struggling heart made Wang Chonghui's body temperature continue to rise, and his sweat beads quickly rolled down, after a fierce inner battle, Wang Chonghui still decided to speak:

"According to news from Tokyo, the Japanese emperor has issued an edict asking the Japanese troops on the Chinese battlefield not to expand the situation for the time being, I think ......."

Before Wang could express his opinion, the highest authority interrupted Wang Chonghui with a wave of his hand, as if he was impatient with the word "emperor".

"The Japanese don't believe what they say, and Hirohito is Japanese. Their 'non-expansion' is nothing more than a recuperation of the troops, and it is not worth trusting! Foreign Minister Wang, you diplomats are too easy to be fooled! It is only then that we are subject to the control of others step by step in the world! Do things! See, listen, and think! And then speak! This way you will make fewer mistakes! ”

The tone of the highest authority when he spoke was a little heavy, and Wang Chonghui felt that his back began to sweat profusely! He really regretted jumping out and interjecting just now, being a mud bodhisattva without saying a word is the way to protect himself.

After the highest authorities finished teaching Wang Chonghui a lesson, they began to talk to "Xiao Zhuge ":

"Jiansheng! You told Li Delin that Jinpu Road must be defended, and the longer it is guarded, the better. I'm here to support him in Wuhan! ”

"Xiao Zhuge nodded" and agreed. Although the "Gui faction" and the supreme authorities did not agree on political views, the positions of the two sides on the War of Resistance were the same. Sticking to Xuzhou is indeed the only right choice now! If it weren't for this, Chief Li would not have been moved by the supreme authorities so easily and picked up the burden of the 5th war zone!

What "Little Zhuge " needs to do now is to get more reinforcements and help for Chief Li!

For example, the 25th Group Army, which was crushed by the Military Commission in Anqing.

The more the highest authorities attach importance to Xuzhou, the better "Xiao Zhuge " will make demands for Chief Li!

"Take a seat! The situation in the 5 theater of operations, you also know! There is a shortage of soldiers and weapons, and the area of the war zone is large! Degong is in Xuzhou, and it is not easy to hold on! This matter of military supplies and reinforcements is expected to be resolved! I, Bai Jiansheng, am here to thank Degong first......"

After speaking, "Xiao Zhuge " stood up and bowed, and the highest authorities were caught off guard by this hand of "Xiao Zhuge ".

Xuzhou also counted on Li Delin to guard, and the request of "Xiao Zhuge " could not be taken seriously, and the highest authorities of the "Gui Department" gritted their teeth, and then said solemnly:

"The military committee can provide part of the firearms, ammunition and military supplies in the 5th theater, and as for the reinforcements, there will also be them! Jiansheng! You tell Li Delin that he must drag the Japanese army on the Jinpu line! 5. I will try my best to do the requirements of the war zone here! ”

If it were not for the fact that it was necessary to rely on the miscellaneous troops of the 5th Theater commanded by Li Zongren to drag the Japanese in the Central Plains, there would have been time to send the Central Army out to rest and recuperate. The highest authorities would not be willing to use the weapons in the warehouses of the Military Commission to strengthen the local troops that he regarded as a thorn in the side!

These guns, ammunition, and military supplies allocated to the 5 theater of operations were originally prepared by the highest authorities for his Central Army! In the eyes of the highest authorities, the local troops do not need to rest, replenish or be paid. It is a grace to let them carry the banner of the Wuhan government and stand on the battlefield of resistance against Japan!

This meeting has come to this point, which can be said to be a serious digression!

Originally, the focus of the meeting was to study how to respond to the "Konoe Statement" of the Japanese. But now the top authorities have turned the topic to the Xuzhou battlefield, and they have not expressed their position on how to deal with the "Konoe Statement".

Without the instructions of the highest authorities, Wang Chonghui did not have it in his heart! What exactly should be done about this? In order to avoid the Ministry of Foreign Affairs from making another mistake, Wang Chonghui could only stand up again and ask:

"Chair, what attitude should we take towards this statement of the guard?"

Under Wang Chonghui's reminder, the highest authorities finally remembered what the issue was to be discussed today. He pondered for a moment, then commanded:

"Foreign Minister Wang, you go back and make a statement, and the wording should be tougher! The Japanese wanted to go to war, and I had no choice but to fight. Fight! I've never been afraid! ”

With this remark from the highest authority, the difficult problem of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs has finally been solved, and today's meeting can be regarded as having a result. The highest authorities originally wanted to say a few more words, but when he saw the expression on the face of "Little Zhuge ", he dispelled this idea again.

The concession made by the highest authorities just now is still too small in the eyes of "Xiao Zhuge "! What Chief Li of Xuzhou urgently needs now is not only guns, ammunition and military supplies, but also the lack of enough combat troops at hand is the most urgent problem to be solved in the 5th Theater!

But on this issue, the highest authorities just don't let go!

After the application for the transfer of the 5th Group Army to Xuzhou to participate in the war in Xuzhou was handed over to the Military Commission, it was lost in the sea, and it was not even discussed once! If there is no shadow of the highest authority behind this incident, "Xiao Zhuge will not believe it" if he is killed!

If you don't take advantage of today, when the government and the army are there, you will have to ask for more troops for the 5th theater, and I don't know when the next opportunity will be!

"Xiao Zhuge has already made up his mind, and today he will blackmail the highest authorities!"

Don't you want Xuzhou? Then take your precious Central Army on board! Want to share the bonus without paying the capital? It's not that cheap!

The highest authorities signaled Qian Dajun to announce that the meeting was over, but it was still a step slower, and "Xiao Zhuge stood up first"! The topic he said was naturally Xuzhou! When will the Military Commission send reinforcements to the 5 theater of operations, and how many reinforcements will be sent! Looking at the posture of "Xiao Zhuge ", it seems that today's "Gui system" will not give up if it does not achieve its goal!

Minister He and Wang Zhaoming had a tacit understanding and chose to watch coldly at the same time, at this time, it is best not to make a sound! They plan to take a good look at the contest between "Xiao Zhuge " and the highest authorities......

The highest authorities did not let Minister He get his wish, and he dragged Minister He into the battle group with only one sentence:

"Respectfully! Do you think about what other troops can be transferred to the 5th theater to help Li Delin? It's better to have some combat power! Closer to Xuzhou... You, the Minister of Military Affairs, say it......."

"Oh... This... Ahh Think about it! Think about ......"

Minister He hurriedly straightened his waist from the back of his chair, and the move of the highest authority was really beautiful! All of a sudden, the hot potato of "Little Zhuge " was thrown to the Ministry of Military Affairs!

If Minister He really has the power to mobilize the troops below, it would be better to say something, but the actual situation is that without the will of the highest authorities, Minister He can't even call the division commander of the Central Army!

Minister He helped "Xiao Zhuge " before and improved the relationship with the "Gui Department". If he turns his head now and helps the highest authorities reject the request of "Xiao Zhuge ", then won't all the previous things have been done in vain?

Minister He pretended to think while secretly looking at the highest authorities and "Xiao Zhuge ", the feeling of being sandwiched between the two sides was really uncomfortable!

Minister He suddenly felt a little envious that Wang Zhaoming was coming...... (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.) )
