readx; Tang Jiyao looked at Lu Rongting, and after a silent meeting, he said: "Once the national army takes Shanxi, it will be even more difficult to fight again when the main force goes south!" ”

Lu Rongting also nodded after pondering for a long time after listening: "Shanxi will definitely not be able to hold it, and it should not be long before it can be held, at most in a month, the main force of the national army will be able to free up their hands to go south." Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 info We're running out of time! ”

Tang Jiyao said: "This time, the two of us will fight together, you Guangxi will leave a part of the necessary remaining troops, and then the main force will gather in Hunan, in addition to the Sixth Army on my side, I will also transfer the 18th Division, the 19th Division and the 12th Mixed Brigade from the Seventh Army." It is necessary to concentrate more than 180,000 troops, even if the national army can fight again, facing an attack of three or four times the number of troops, they will not be able to resist! ”

When Lu Rongting heard Tang Jiyao say this, he knew that he had made up his mind to fight a decisive battle with the Nationalist Army in Hunan, because the 19th Division and the 12th Mixed Brigade were fine, but the 18th Division was not only the leading unit of the Seventh Army, but also the two main divisions of the Yunnan Army together with the 16th Division.

Immediately gritted his teeth and said: "Since Brother Tang has such courage, how can Lu retreat, it's a big deal that Wuzhou doesn't want it, but also concentrate troops in Hunan to gnaw down Lin Chengkun's Fourth Army."

Soon after agreeing on the general division of tasks and the scope of operations, according to the strategic plan of the two people, that is, before the main force of the Nationalist Army arrived in the southwest region, the Dian Army and the Gui Army concentrated a large number of superior forces to carry out a surprise attack on Lin Chengkun's Fourth Army in Hunan, and strive to capture Hunan in the shortest possible time with several times the superiority of troops.

Tang Jiyao and Lu Rongting did not sign any written documents such as alliance agreements, and all the commitments made after the two met were only verbal agreements, and at the level of this kind of strategic cooperation, a mere paper document is useless, and the basis of cooperation in this alliance does not lie in any paper document, but in the huge threat of the national army, as long as the national army wants to cut down the feudal domain one day, then the basis for mutual cooperation between Tang Jirao and Lu Rongting exists.

After the two sides made a verbal agreement, Tang Jiyao returned to Guiyang in Guizhou, while Lu Rongting returned to Guilin, and the mobilization of the troops of the Dian Army and the Gui Army had already begun after the two met.

"They're good enough!" In the office building of the Military Intelligence Service, a middle-aged man with eyes, a general's uniform, and two shining stars on his shoulders looked at the report in his hand, then closed the folder and took it with him.

Two quarters of an hour later, outside Chen Jingyun's presidential office, Yan Jingkuang looked at the lieutenant general of the Military Intelligence Department who walked in outside the door, and immediately stood up to greet him: "Director Lai, you are here!" ”

The Director Lai he was talking about was Lieutenant General Lai Zhangxing, director of the Military Intelligence Division, one of the two major intelligence departments in the Nationalist Army. Lai Zhangxing was a clerk of the 38th Standard in his early years, and his reputation was far less prominent than that of Ma Cheng and Feng Qin and others, and even far inferior to Lieutenant General Sun Guangliang and Lieutenant General Ouyang Tian, who were both born in the 38th Standard Headquarters. At that time, because he happened to be in charge of some business of collecting military intelligence, he was appointed by Feng Qin, then chief of staff of the Fujian National Army, as the director of the Military Intelligence Division, and the intelligence department was only a few dozen people at that time, and Lai Zhangxing, who was the director of the division, was only a captain.

When the Military Investigation Bureau under Chen Cai had not yet been established, the Intelligence Department under Lai Zhangxing had already developed the scale of hundreds of people, and its tentacles had extended to other southeastern provinces such as southern Jiangsu, which was naturally inseparable from the large amount of financial support provided by the army.

In the national army system, whether it is an extremely prominent military and political dignitary or an ordinary officer or official, most of them know that there are two major intelligence departments in the national army system, but most of them are verbally hung every day. It was active outside the control areas of the Nationalist Army, such as the current southwestern provinces, such as the foreign capital, and even Europe and the United States. In addition to eliminating intelligence and espionage personnel sent by other forces in areas controlled by the National Army, the business of the Investigation Bureau, which is more familiar to those officials, is to monitor and investigate the violations of law and discipline of internal personnel.

To be sure, however, the size of the Bureau of Investigation is less than half the size of the Intelligence Division, which is financed mainly by Chen Jingyun's Office of the President, while the Intelligence Division is financed by the Army, which receives almost several times as much funding each month as the Bureau of Investigation.

With the continuous expansion of the scale of the intelligence department, the military rank of Lai Zhangxing, who established the intelligence department single-handedly, is also rising, from captain all the way to the rapid promotion, almost every large-scale award of Chen Jingyun is indispensable in his name, because the military intelligence office ambushed the intelligence personnel in advance in the Qingdao campaign, and timely transmitted the news that Vice Admiral Pace ordered the German-Austrian Far East Fleet to sink itself, and finally although it failed to prevent the self-sinking of the three light cruisers, but it successfully prevented the self-sinking of the Scharnhorst armored cruiser, and another armored cruiser beached to avoid sinking.

In addition, the Military Intelligence Office in Yanjing rebelled against Duan Qirui and Li Yuanhong, allowing tens of thousands of Beiyang troops to surrender voluntarily, so that Yanjing avoided the war. Although these things are usually said to be the credit of those generals, the credit of those intelligence officers who wander in the shadows cannot be erased, so at the award ceremony after the Battle of Qingdao, Lai Zhangxing and the rest of the major generals were promoted by Chen Jingyun and became lieutenant generals.

However, even if he was promoted to lieutenant general, his title has never changed, and he is still the director of the intelligence department, Lai Zhangxing walked over and said: "I have something important to ask to see the president!" ”

Yan Jing Kuang frowned when he heard this, and immediately said: "Now the president is having a meeting with President Zheng and President An, and it is not easy to arrange time if you don't have an appointment!" ”

Lai Zhangxing's face sank: "I have an urgent military intelligence report!" ”

Yan Jing Kuang didn't look at Lai Zhangxing's face, and he didn't care about Lai Zhangxing's words, which one of the people who came to see Chen Jingyun had no major matters, if everyone wanted to see Chen Jingyun, then Chen Jingyun had forty-eight hours a day and it was not enough, so for those who didn't have an appointment, Yan Jing Kuang had to block the car, as for Lai Zhangxing's calm face at the moment, he Yan Jing Kuang didn't pay attention to it. He has served in the secretariat for a short time, when he served as the second-class secretary in his early years, he was not low in the civilian system of the national army system, and when he was promoted to the first-class secretary and became Chen Jingyun's accompanying secretary, even Shen Gang had to say in a friendly voice when he saw him, "Secretary Yan!" ”

In addition to maintaining a respectful attitude towards Chen Jingyun, in addition to maintaining a respectful attitude towards Chen Jingyun, his boss Yu Shifeng can let him speak respectfully, as for most of the others, they are polite, if anyone dares to show him a face, he Yanjing Kuang is not an ordinary person, and if he really treats him as a dispensable secretary, he will make a serious political mistake.

This Lai Zhangxing was in a hurry, and the tone of his speech was not very good, and Yan Jing Kuang was not in a very good mood today, and after hearing this, he wanted to say: "The president is in a meeting, Director Lai is waiting in the hall now!" But before he could say this, Yan Jing Kuang remembered that Lai Zhangxing said just now that he was going to have an urgent military situation, although he was not very happy in his heart, but in case this Lai Zhangxing really wanted something important and he delayed the words, I was afraid that the president would scold him, so he suppressed the unhappiness in his heart, and immediately asked: "Oh, Director Lai, you wait first, I'll go first to see the situation!" ”

Lai Zhangxing's face softened a little after hearing this, he had never had a good impression of Yan Jing Kuang, so he stopped talking and waited in place.

Yan Jing Kuang walked into the office, but he didn't have the courage to directly push open the door of the conference room to disturb the meeting of Chen Jingyun and Zheng Zuyin and others, although he was not very clear about the content of Chen Jingyun and Zheng Zuyin and others today's meeting, but he knew that the people who came to participate in the meeting were the core roles in the Government Council, in addition to Zheng Zuyin, President of the Government Council, there were An Hualin, Minister of Finance, Hong Zitai, Minister of Industry and Commerce, and Sima Yinchu, Minister of Economic Development. The person who can be Chen Jingyun's entourage secretary is naturally not stupid, and from the people who attended the meeting alone, they can guess that Chen Jingyun and they should be talking about the second round of industrial development plans this time. Yan Jing Kuang didn't know much about this second round of industrial development plan, but he knew that this plan was proposed by the Department of Economic Development, and he heard that it was to use the war in Europe to develop industry and commerce, but he didn't know the details for the time being.

Yan Jing Kuang did not walk in directly, but found Yu Shifeng, the director of the secretariat, and immediately told Yu Shifeng what Lai Zhangxing said, Yu Shifeng frowned after hearing it: "Emergency military situation? ”

Yan Jing Kuang nodded and said, "That's what he said!" ”

Yu Shifeng pondered for a while, and then looked at the pocket watch: "Leave this matter to me, you go out!" ”

Yan Jing Kuang naturally went out, and Yu Shifeng waited for five or six minutes, and then looked at the pocket watch in his hand until eleven o'clock, he just listened to the discussion in the conference room After the discussion had stopped, he slowly pushed open the door of the conference room, and walked in to see that the long round table in the conference room was sitting Chen Jingyun and Zheng Zuyin and others, this meeting between Chen Jingyun and Zheng Zuyin had lasted for three hours, and this would be the time for the intermission. At this time, Ma Yinchu, who had the lowest official position among the people, was holding a teapot to fill you with tea.

After Yu Shifeng pushed open the door and walked in, everyone present looked up at him, but they didn't pay much attention, Yu Shifeng walked to Chen Jingyun's side, and then leaned down and said softly: "Director Lai said that there is an urgent military intelligence report!" ”

Hearing that it was an urgent military situation, Chen Jingyun raised his eyebrows and then nodded: "Got it, you let him wait first, I'll go over later!" ”

After Yu Shifeng went out, Chen Jingyun took a sip of tea and said: "There are still serious deficiencies in the planning of the textile industry, you discuss it first, I will go out for a while, and then we will talk about it when I come back!" ”

After Chen Jingyun went out, Hong Zitai glanced at Zheng Zuyin: "Brother Zheng, it is appropriate to continue to provide preferential policies for the textile industry, but it is not possible to let the textile industry get out of control, blindly pursue corporate profits and ignore the overall safety of the textile industry is unrealistic. ”

Zheng Zuyin said: "I Nanjing political axe has always pursued the freedom of capital, and we are vigorously attracting foreign capital to enter, if we do not come up with tangible benefits, is it that those who say, 'myself, the Americans' money will fall out of thin air, and how do you know that it is not a good thing to let the capital into Nantong Textile Company, they have already negotiated that once the capital is injected, then at the same time the introduction of advanced technology and experience such as silkworm seeds and silk reeling factory management in the Bunsen silk industry, with these silkworm farmers can have greater benefits, The factories will be more profitable, and the workers will be better. Once the introduction of the advanced raw silk industry experience and technology, this is a good thing for the entire raw silk industry in our country, the raw silk industry is good, the export volume has increased to have enough foreign exchange in exchange for machinery and equipment, which is a great thing for the country and the nation, how to your mouth has become a betrayal of national interests! ”

Hong Zitai said: "I will really provide their advanced technology and experience? Everyone knows that the biggest opponent of China's raw silk industry is the "Bunsen silk industry, once China's raw silk industry is interfered with by businessmen, it is difficult to guarantee that they will not suppress the development of China's raw silk for the development of their own raw silk!" ”

Zheng Zuyin did not shy away at all: "Hmph, the road to the rejuvenation of China is full of thorns, this is also afraid, that is also afraid of how to develop China's raw silk industry, is it necessary to develop so slowly for 20 years, 50 years to catch up with the raw silk industry?" Now it is a special period, in order to say, "Bunsen silk industry advanced technology and experience, it is understandable to take some special means. ”

Hong Zitai listened, took a deep breath and stopped talking, the two of them on the introduction of capital into the raw silk industry on the issue of the attitude is completely opposite, continue to talk about it, it is better to bury their heads in the formal meeting of the meeting, persuade Chen Jingyun to prevent the acquisition of Nantong Textile Company by the capital consortium to be more practical.
