"Boyuan, I haven't seen you for a long time, but you are very proud of the spring breeze now." Dai Li, who was still dressed in a dark tunic suit, picked up the teapot and poured tea for Zhao Zhi personally. Dai Li was one of the few high-ranking officers under Chiang Kai-shek who was familiar with Zhao Zhi, especially Zhao Zhi's infiltrator plan or Jewish resettlement plan was indispensable for the participation of the military commander, and the most important thing was that the military commander had secret intelligence stations in Southeast Asian countries, and Zhao Zhi's attack on Thailand, Vietnam, and Laos needed the intelligence support of the military commander.

"Director Dai said with a smile, Boyuan is just busy, but your brother hasn't seen him for more than half a year, and his complexion looks good." Touching out the cigar and holding it in his mouth, Zhao Zhi smiled and joked about Dai Li, although Dai Li was the big boss in charge of the military command, but Zhao Zhi treated Dai Li as an ordinary person when facing Dai Li, which is why Dai Li always likes to chat with Zhao Zhi.

Thunder's expansion made a group of government officials, including Dai Li, see the opportunity, dancing on the three eggs is Yan Laoxi's strategy, Dai Li, they are not Yan Laoxi, they just want to find their own way out. Dai Li's intelligence work is carried out, and the military commander's intelligence officers are all over the country, and even within the Nationalist Government, there are many secret intelligence officers subordinate to the military command, and the more confidential information he controls, the more Dai Li's understanding of the current situation will become.

The Nationalist Government is actively resisting Japan, but the domestic battlefield has consumed most of the elite troops of the Nationalist Army because of several large-scale battles in the early stage, and now the Central Army troops controlled by the national government are of mixed quality and low combat effectiveness. Yan Laoxi would only hide in his cave on the mountain wall and complain when he lost most of Shanxi, and Han Fuqu in Shandong fled before he could take the battle, and the sudden rise of thunder in Shanxi made these impossible things possible.

Shanxi's recovery was a good thing, but the Jin Sui Army changed its previous trend of shrinking, and with the behind-the-scenes support of Yan Laoxi, it frequently had frictions with the Central Army and the Eighth Route Army, and it was very likely to return Shanxi to the control of the Jin Sui Army. The Central Army has more than five divisions in Shanxi, and according to the secret agreement between Thunder and the government, the Central Army of these divisions will be stationed in Shanxi while receiving training from Thunder, and once Xiao Ziyun's Burmese mercenaries open the road to Shandong and Hebei, the Central Army troops of these divisions will be the follow-up support forces.

The mercenaries in the Thunder Force are some untamed people, and the Central Army troops trained by them also have some mercenary habits, and in the face of the deliberate provocation of the Jin Sui Army, the Central Army troops stationed in Shanxi will naturally not be soft. Dai Li had recently received a series of urgent information from Shanxi, saying that in the friction between the two sides, four regiments of the Jin Sui Army had all been defeated by the Central Army, and Yan Xishan had already written to the Nationalist Government to shift the responsibility for the friction on the Central Army stationed in Shanxi, and if it were not for the appearance of Zhao Zhi, Chiang Kai-shek might have to start the strategy of reassuring the outside and first securing the interior.

How can the enemy be in chaos at present? Dai Li knew that so many commanders benefited the Japanese army, but he was only an intelligence officer, and the military bigwigs in the Ministry of Military Affairs who only cared about their own interests would not listen to their opinions, so after learning that Zhao Zhi had come to Chongqing, Dai Li came to Zhao Zhi urgently, hoping that Zhao Zhi could use his influence on Chiang Kai-shek to persuade Chiang Kai-shek to resist foreign enemies first.

"Director Dai, don't worry, the chairman will not be so much, now the situation of the domestic war of resistance has become clearer, the focus of the Japanese army's defense is now the US army landing in South Asia and the thunder of Thailand, as long as we fight steadily, there is not much time left for the Japanese army at home, the chairman's strategy is not something that the fat-headed and big-eared guys in the Ministry of Military Affairs can understand, you just wait and see the results." Zhao Zhi's advice to Chiang Kai-shek happened yesterday, and before the specific plan was introduced, he could not tell Dai Li more relevant content, everything needed to be understood and discovered by Dai Li.

Dai Li's search for Zhao Zhi was naturally not only for the situation in Shanxi, but more importantly, to find a way out for himself, and the rapid expansion of Thunder made Dai Li very interested in Zhao Zhi. Since Zhao Zhi established a training camp in Geyue Mountain, Dai Li is the person who connects Zhao Zhi and the national government, so his understanding of Thunder is more detailed than others and even more than Chiang Kai-shek, in Dai Li's opinion, Zhao Zhi is not only a mysterious man, but also Zhao Zhi's future achievements may not be lower than Chiang Kai-shek, so he is ready to take Zhao Zhi's big ship as early as possible to lay a good retreat for himself in the future.

Zhao Zhi doesn't like to deal with people who do intelligence work, but Dai Li is an outsider, Dai Li likes beauty, money and power, but no one is perfect, at least Dai Li is loyal to Chiang Kai-shek and he will never be a national traitor like Zhou Fohai. Zhao Zhi is now even ashamed that he gave Dai Li's fake antiques, but looking at Dai Li's appearance, it doesn't look like he has discovered this matter, and he can deceive the biggest intelligence leader of the national government, and at the same time feeling guilty, Zhao Zhi is also somewhat complacent.

"This is some intelligence information about Vietnam collected by some intelligence officers of our military command, and I think it may be useful to you." Dai Li's gift was indeed very timely for Zhao Zhi, after taking the northern provinces of Thailand, Zhao Zhi had already sent a sweeping team to quietly sneak into Vietnam to conduct on-the-spot reconnaissance of the terrain. Taking Thailand, Zhao Zhi's next target is Vietnam or Laos and Cambodia, because he wants to drive all the Japanese troops to Indonesia and Singapore to entangle with the American army, and Thunder needs more coastline.

"Thank you" Zhao Zhi did not open these materials immediately, but just cautiously put them away, he has as many as one platoon of combat staff officers, these people will participate in the formulation of the plan, because Thunder needs more senior officers with command ability, so Zhao Zhi spared no effort to find opportunities to train these staff officers. "Give a little gadget to Director Dai to play with, if you don't accept it, then I will be embarrassed to accept the help of your military commander in the future." A delicate jade ornament was placed in front of Dai Li, there are many such things in Zhao Zhi's hands, and there are more than a dozen of them given to Song Meiling this time.

"Then I'll just laugh at it" Dai Li was not polite, he directly took the jade ornament, took it in his hand and looked at it carefully for a while, and it could be seen that Dai Li liked the gift given to him by Zhao Zhi very much. "Boyuan, I don't just have good news here, but also bad news to tell you." Dai Li, who put down the ornaments, straightened his face and looked at Zhao Zhi opposite with a little seriousness, "The number of your Thunder garrisons in Shanxi has been greatly reduced, I heard that Yan Laoxi's Jin Sui Army is very interested in your Qinglongping Airport, and I heard that you also have a weapons warehouse there, but you should pay attention to it recently, don't let someone take advantage of the loophole." ”

Several arsenals of the Jin Sui army in Shanxi were looted by the Japanese army, coupled with the extreme disappointment of the Nationalist Government in Yan Xishan, after the recovery of Shanxi, the Jin Sui army lacked weapons, ammunition and basic equipment but could not be replenished in time, the Eighth Route Army could not be defeated, and the Central Army had already suffered for them, so Yan Xishan shifted his attention to Zhangwu County. With the departure of Yu Dazhi and the transfer of a large number of mercenary troops, Qinglongping Airport is now only defended by a Jewish force of 3,000 people, and the Central Army troops that have received retraining have now been pulled out to the border area of Henan.

For Dai Li's kind reminder, Zhao Zhi didn't care, "It doesn't matter, it's just an airport, it just so happens that I recently want to transfer all the fighters in Qinglongping Airport, I want an empty airport, take it, our thunder is not the Jin Suijun who can't afford to provoke Yan Xishan, it's just too lazy to entangle with them." Zhao Zhi rarely showed generosity for a while, he just didn't have time to dwell on these problems, and Thunder had more important things to do.

The U.S. military has landed in France, and has sent additional troops to prepare to regain control of the Philippine battlefield, Zhao Zhi has been looking forward to this day for a long time, and he does not want to spend more time participating in the struggle between the domestic factions. Burma had become a solid rear of the thunder, and the Lend-Lease of Siberia had become a contractual fact, and Zhao Zhi was seeking to participate in the post-war sharing of interests, including control of Jeju Island, which the Americans had promised early on, and spare resources that the Japanese had quietly hidden on their homeland.

Convincing Chiang Kai-shek to cut off the Japanese army's path south was only Zhao Zhi's first step, and only by doing so could Thunder and the Nationalist government continue to gain military aid and trust from the United States. The use of bolt-action weapons has proved that he is invincible in the battle with the Japanese army, and the powerful firepower weapons have been very well proved in the battle of the Thunder against the Japanese army, and Chiang Kai-shek needs more and better new weapons if he wants to take all the Japanese troops out of China, and the Thunder arsenal obviously cannot meet the support for the national army, and the military aid of the United States is particularly important.

"You'd better be prepared, sometimes, trouble can't be avoided, it will come to you on its own." When Dai Li was leaving, he still warned Zhao Zhi a few words. Zhao Zhi is the most capable commander Dai Li has ever seen, but he is not optimistic about Zhao Zhi's political ability, even if Zhao Zhi does not participate in the factional struggle in the country, but he has been favored by Chiang Kai-shek, those bigwigs in the military will not turn a blind eye to Zhao Zhi, as long as Thunder still has troops to participate in the domestic war of resistance, those people can find an opportunity to criticize Zhao Zhi.

"Thanks for the reminder, Boyuan wrote it down." Warning or reminding, it is no different for Zhao Zhi, he only believes that absolute power comes from absolute force, in the face of Thunder's strong combat effectiveness, Zhao Zhi does not think that those military bigwigs who do some small actions in private dare to do anything to themselves or Thunder. On the contrary, Zhao Zhi thought that those military bigwigs should hide from themselves, and if they really forced themselves into a hurry, Zhao Zhi did not mind helping Chiang Kai-shek to return power to the central government.
