Chapter 1085
XNUM X Year X NUM X Month.

The long-awaited Lunar New Year is coming. Even though it was a time of war and bombed by Japanese planes from time to time, the streets and alleys of the mountain city are still full of the atmosphere of the Spring Festival.

However, with Ji surrendering to the enemy and treason, and Japan's blockade of the coast of the Republic of China, the Anti-Japanese War entered the most difficult period. Under all kinds of bad news, the morale of all parties was somewhat low.

In order to show the determination of the War of Resistance to the end, the National Association of Rewarding the Anti-Japanese War Soldiers decided to launch the "Spring Festival Gifts for Soldiers" around the Spring Festival, the most important holiday in the country, to reward the soldiers who participated in the war.

Major newspapers also stated that during the Spring Festival in the Republic of China, compatriots from all walks of life would give gifts to each other to enhance harmony.

Therefore, I hope that the compatriots all over the country will take into account the difficulties of financial and material resources during the war, and will give gifts to relatives and friends, such as frontline soldiers, wounded soldiers, young recruits, and families of anti-Japanese soldiers.

I also hope to raise cash through the "Spring Festival Labor Gift Conference" and donate it to the soldiers who fought bravely in front of the enemy as military pay and pensions.

All government agencies in Shancheng and the Northwest Representative Office participated in it, and set up a number of gift stands in the urban area, performing civilized dramas and dances related to patriotism, so as to attract the public.

At the opening ceremony, the Japanese Anti-War Alliance also actively participated in it, organizing a "makeup and gift team" to publicize against the Japanese invaders with the people of the mountain city, and donating money and materials for the Anti-Japanese War on the spot.

After the opening ceremony, various participating groups held publicity activities┴, the streets were crowded with eye-catching slogans supporting the War of Resistance, and the military band gongs and drums sounded endlessly. During the Spring Festival, the soldiers cheered, and the scene was spectacular.

In Luojiawan No. 29 office building, Zuo Zhong stood by the window of his office, looked at the fighter jets flying overhead and shook his head helplessly, then turned and returned to the table, looking at Wu Chunyang and Gu Qi who came to pay New Year's greetings.

"Come on, just come. If you bring anything else, it's your own brother. You are welcome. Now is the time when the storm is on the cusp. Be cautious."

He pointed to the two gift boxes on the table and motioned them to take them back. The majestic Deputy Director of Military Command received the gifts in his office, and if word spread, there would definitely be villains slandering So-and-so and Lao Dai.

Who doesn't know that Zuo Zhong has always been upright, with a clean sleeve, pure and clean, and it is really not worthwhile to ruin his reputation for some cheap gifts.

Besides, the small gifts sent by many old friends in the past two days have filled two rooms. He can't eat them all by himself, and he can't use them all. He can't just throw them all away, or they will be struck by lightning.

Zuo Zhong thought for a while, picked up the phone and called He Yijun, and asked the other party to lead someone to organize these things and send them to the labor force gift meeting. The signature should be Dai Chunfeng and all colleagues in the military command, in brackets, Dai Chunfeng is enlarged and blackened, Parentheses end.

No, when Wu Chunyang and Gu Qi heard this, they quickly stood up and winked and patted the gift box, and Lao Gu said something softly.

"Senior seat, the pastries Chunyang and I sent are made of lentil stuffing. They are golden and shiny. It's better for you and Secretary He to try them yourself."

kindness?
Why do pastries with lentil filling sound familiar?
Curious, Zuo Zhong held the microphone, glanced at the two old subordinates, and reached out to pick up the gift box. Hey, I'm afraid it weighs seven or eight catties. This lentil-filled pastry is different.

With a faint smile on his face, he picked up the phone again and ordered He Yijun to count the previous gifts in person to avoid any "oversight". Alas, being an official is really difficult.

After dealing with the trivial matters, Zuo Zhong said that this is not an example, and then let the two sit down, and sat down on the chair himself, and asked the two of them if they had anything else to report besides delivering the cakes.

Wu Chunyang nodded, took out the briefcase he carried with him, took out a document from it, and reported the information about Japan with a slightly excited tone.

"Senior seat, the devils can no longer fight. Now Japanese adult males are basically being dragged into the army, and the military production and infrastructure construction in the rear are almost all completed by women, the elderly, and children.

In order to ensure the supply of military supplies on the front line, major factories in Japan have also implemented a "joint logistics system", working continuously 24 hours a day, and many students who have not received any training are driven to the shelves.

According to the information of the Tokyo Intelligence Group, last year alone no less than 7000 front-line working women died on the job due to super-intensive work, and this is not counting those who were disabled or sick. "

When he said this, his joy was beyond words. Through these statistics, anyone can see that Japan's national strength has reached the point where its fuel is exhausted, and the dawn of victory is not far away.

But Zuo Zhong is not so optimistic, the closer to the sunrise, the darker it is, just like at this moment, although the spring is not far away from the warmth of spring, but it is still necessary to guard against the occurrence of "cold spring", this battle still has to be fought .

Hase Ryosuke sent intelligence a few days ago, saying that the great minds of the Japanese Army Staff Headquarters conducted a strategic deduction. The result of the deduction was that there were only two ways to solve the "Republic of China Incident".

One is to hit the mountain city.

The second is to withdraw troops from the Republic of China.

But if you want to hit the mountain city, you need at least 15 divisions to reinforce the battlefield of the Republic of China. Under the premise of vigilance against the Red Russia, the Japanese army obviously does not have this ability.

The withdrawal of troops from the Republic of China was impossible for the cabinet and the Ministry of the Army to accept. For the Japanese who like to eat the strong and take advantage of the addiction, it is more uncomfortable to spit out the meat in their mouths than to kill them.

Since it is impossible to win by force in a short period of time, the only option is to consume until the Shancheng government┴ can't persist and seek peace or surrender, and see who can persist until the end.

After reviewing the current situation, Zuo Zhong took the document and put it away, praised Wu Chunyang with a smile, and put forward stricter work requirements for one department, so as not to have the idea of ​​underestimating the enemy.

Then he nodded to Gu Qi and signaled the other party to start reporting. Unexpectedly, Gu Qi made a big news at the beginning, which was related to the latest movements of some high-ranking officials in the government.

"Deputy director, the situation of the Japanese is not good, and we are not much better. Recently, the secret intelligence personnel of the two offices have discovered a lot of abnormalities. Some people are afraid that they are going to do something wrong."

Zuo Zhong was a little speechless. At this time, there are still people coveting that position. It is true that life is endless and internal struggles are endless. Is that position more important than the future of the country┴?
Before he could speak, Gu Qi also handed over a document and said slowly: "After the war in Europe, the committee once said the purpose of our war of resistance, and frankly speaking, it is to end at the same time as the world war, that is to say, the Sino-Japanese issue Solve the world's problems at the same time.

World issues cannot be resolved, and neither can the Republic of China issue. We still cannot break away from our colonial status. Therefore, the timing of the War of Resistance, especially the resolution of the final issue, must be linked with the world war, so that the wars in East Asia and Western Europe will end at the same time.

The most effective way to achieve this goal is to get closer to Britain and France, and alienate Germany and Italy. However, with Germany’s successive victories in the European battlefield, many people have shaken this policy. For example, President Sun of the Legislative Yuan seems to be preparing Attack at the National Defense Conference.

According to the materials provided by President Sun’s secretary, Minister Kong of the Ministry of Finance, President Ju of the Judiciary, Vice President of the Executive Yuan, and Mr. Zhang, director of the Shancheng Camp, all agreed that a new strategy of pro-Russia and Germany should be adopted at present. , with the help of Germany and Russia to resist the Japanese. "

Hiss, Dean Sun.

Hearing this name, Zuo Zhong had a toothache. Why didn't he stop? Could it be that the other party didn't know that the era of him and his family was over?

After pondering again and again, he ordered Gucci's second office to continue to monitor, and if necessary, he could warn some low-level secret collaborators. As for other people, the military commander can't control them.

He didn't believe that someone didn't know about these things. If they didn't have this political ┴sensitivity┴, the other party wouldn't be able to sit in the current position. This matter might just be a bureau, and it's better for them to get involved less.

Making up his mind to pretend to be deaf and dumb, Zuo Zhong also put away the second document, and suddenly thought of something, took out the cigarette case and scattered two, and asked with a smile.

"By the way, our director Li has been patrolling various theaters for a while, how is the result?"

When mentioning this matter, both Wu Chunyang and Gu Qi laughed, and after a bit of pushback, Gu Qi represented Li Qiwu's "miraculous" journey to Zuo Zhong.

"Second seat, starting from the team led by Li Qiwu, so far, the supervisory team has encountered 3 shipwrecks, 2 plane failures, 4 car accidents, and 2 encounters with bandits, resulting in a total of 3 deaths and 8 injuries.

In addition, fires broke out in the logistics warehouses of 11 division-level units, 5 military-level logistics leaders died of illness, and 4 committed suicide. The death rate of senior officers was much higher than that during the Songhu Battle and Jinling Battle. "

"Cough, cough~"

Zuo Zhong, who was smoking, was shocked by the news and coughed several times. Good guy, the legendary burning of the Longcang has happened 11 times in a row. It really is a long time.

Is this accidental, intentional, or deliberately careless? This matter is worth pondering.

If someone knew that he had killed so many "pillars of the party and the country" by anti-corruption on the spur of the moment, he would probably call his mother Xipi again. It seems that Li Qiwu will be back soon.

If things go on like this, Guo's army will collapse on its own before the Japanese come to fight. The opponent must clearly distinguish between the face problem and the foundation of the rule.

After taking two puffs of cigarettes, Zuo Zhong looked at his watch and realized that it was getting late, so he stood up and picked up two gift boxes, and said something to Wu Chunyang and Gu Qi.

"Let's go, let's go to the hospital to see Dongxin. I'm busy closing the case these days, so I don't have time to visit. Today I'll borrow flowers to present Buddha, and let him try the pastry stuffed with lentils, so he can learn a lot."

Wu Chunyang and Wu Chunyang naturally had no objection. Anyway, the "gift" had been delivered, and it was the superior's business to deal with it. They followed Zuo Zhong out of the office with a smile.
