mixed in the war

1941 2 Month 10 Day.

Hainan, Haikou.

At the port, there was a lot of voices.

And when the battleship "Kirishima" used its huge hull with a displacement of more than 3 tons, it led the battleships "Hyuga", "Hosho", "Aoba", and "Kago" slowly in front of the port. When it was over, the bustling crowd suddenly fell silent, followed by crying and howling.

……

"We have a navy again at last."

In the innermost part of the port, under the protection of the elite guards armed with guns, a group of people standing on the pier put down their binoculars and couldn't help sighing repeatedly.

"It's not just about having a navy again. How did we have battleships before? How did we have an aircraft carrier? How did we have a heavy cruiser? Although the number is a little less, this strength is much stronger than before. .”

"That 'Hyuga' is a bit older..." [

"Don't be picky! Although the 'Hyuga' is old, its displacement is larger than that of the 'Kirishima'. What's more, even if it is old? Has China ever had such a huge ship? It was Beiyang back then. When the Navy's 'Zhenyuan' and 'Dingyuan' were powerful in East Asia, their displacement was only a few thousand tons."

"That's right, if you don't accept it, you can get one of these yourself. I don't ask you to get a more powerful one, even a destroyer."

……

"Jiansheng, I see you have been silent, is there something on your mind?"

Hearing the chattering of the group of people around him, Li Zongren was more concerned about the mood of the old man... Ever since the two met, he had never seen Bai Chongxi smile.

"What's on your mind?" Bai Chongxi let out a long breath: "It's just a little depressed and panic. The war is becoming more and more different from before."

"Yes." Li Zongren glanced at the fleet that was slowly crossing the strait again, "Even warships can be captured. When I first heard it, I almost thought it was someone talking in sleep. Even if it was confirmed later, I still can't believe it...it's simply appalling."

"You haven't heard anything more shocking." Looking at the giant ship in front of him, Bai Chongxi remembered some words Qin Wei had said to him before, especially when the kid was holding a pen in front of him. The dangling scene in front of me... 60 billion people can be killed in one week!Is this true or false?But even if it is fake.I'm afraid it's too fake, right?Those people can create a weapon that can capture a fleet... Then, what Qin Wei told him before, is the "nuclear" weapon that the Americans have started researching, really as powerful as it is said?In an instant, can a city be wiped flat?But what if it can't reach this kind of power?It is already frightening to be able to wipe out all the personnel of a fleet in the blink of an eyelid.At least for now.Whoever masters this weapon and who can produce it on a large scale can gain a huge advantage on the battlefield, and even directly determine the victory or defeat of both sides.Doesn't this mean that future wars will no longer depend on the development of the form of war such as the general's command level, which will inevitably make these old people less and less familiar with the battlefield.Otherwise, at Qin Wei's level.And how can He De be able to become a general?Not even a platoon leader.

"The Japanese were frightened this time." Li Zongren didn't hear what Bai Chongxi was saying, and seeing that Bai Chongxi still seemed to be a little overwhelmed, he continued: "Not to mention that the army is terrified, Anan only has a few freshly gathered The troops were disbanded in a hurry. I heard that the navy was also terrified. Originally, their revenge fleet had already set off, but they were called back in a hurry. Now their fleets have all retreated to the port, and they are still producing anti-aircraft guns like crazy ..."

"Can you not be afraid?" Bai Chongxi sneered. "The reason why they can be so arrogant is that the navy is stronger than ours. But now they can capture a fleet of them once, and if they come a few more times, their family fortune may be wiped out. And the navy is no longer, their army They are like duckweeds, they will all die sooner or later. At that time, they can only be slaughtered by us!"

"Lao Jiang is really proud this time." Li Zongren slammed into Bai Chongxi's shoulder, and smacked his mouth at the energetic Chiang Kai-shek in the center.

"Of course he is proud. He got a fleet for nothing, especially with an aircraft carrier..." Bai Chongxi snorted coldly, "It's different from getting an airport that can move freely. What are the Japanese most afraid of us now? Isn't it just that?" Air Force? Such an aircraft carrier is worth at least destroying ten of their divisions."

"Ten divisions can't compare to Qin Wei's one-leg health. You and Qin Wei have a good friendship. Do you think you can...?" Li Zongren asked again in a low voice.

"That kid is very ghostly." Bai Chongxi glanced at Qin Wei, who was following Lao Jiang silently, like a wooden man, and shook his head slightly, "He will not get involved in our affairs. Especially Now, just relying on the merits in his hands, even if he does not make any more contributions in the future, he will still be invincible. Even if he rebels against Lao Jiang, Lao Jiang will at most relinquish his power and never dare to hurt him. Just like before, this kid was negotiating with the police, ignoring the results of Zhang Wenbai's previous efforts, and directly allocated a large part of Timoshen's weapons to the police, making Lao Jiang angry. He was half dead, and almost had to settle accounts with him. But what about now? Wasn’t he promoted to a general? After negotiating with the boss, he followed his way, and Lao Jiang didn’t say anything bad.”

"With such a fleet to start with, Lao Jiang is of course easy to talk about. But it's a pity, if we can get help from Qin Wei, our Guangxi family will have a bright future." Li Zongren sighed.What kind of man is he?Of course, it was obvious what Qin Wei's position was.If you don't even like to see the struggle between the Kuomintang and the Communist Party, how can you want to see the Kuomintang split again?But seeing Qin Wei make the credits that always make people's hearts jump, he really wants to pull people over... At least for now, a Qin Wei can't say It can be worth half of Lao Jiang's Whampoa.This is not an exaggeration, you know, Qin Wei is now holding the air force with one hand and the navy with the other...Even if Chen Shaokuan and Chen Jiliang dare not listen to Lao Jiang, they will never dare to play with Qin Wei. .I can't afford it!If the bomb didn't hit the Japanese, it hit them, right?

"Actually, you can also try to contact him first, but I can't, don't think I'm familiar with that kid, but I know he's always on guard against me...you have to find someone else to contact him." Bai Chongxi knew what Li Zongren was thinking.In fact, he himself is more interested in expanding the power of the Gui Clan than Li Zongren.But what he knew about Qin Wei, now is not the right time.

"Look for someone else?" Li Zongren was happy to be able to get in touch with him, but he was afraid that he would not be able to: "Who is suitable? I heard that Qin Wei has always had little contact with people. Unless necessary, he spends most of his time at home..."

"I think Ji Kuan should be able to do it!" Bai Chongxi said.

"Ji Kuan? But he is now the "Chairman" of Zhejiang Province. What kind of connection can he have with Qin Wei? Besides, he has different ideas from ours." Li Zongren was stunned that Ji Kuan was Huang Shaohong, who was ranked No. The two of them established the new Guangxi family with Li Zongren and Bai Chongxi.But later, the Xingui faction suffered repeated defeats and heavy losses in the war with Chiang Kai-shek, which made Huang Shaohong want to strike out with Chiang Kai-shek and make peace.he thinks.The New Guizhou faction has been in operation for so many years, but the result is not good. It is definitely impossible to compete with Chiang Kai-shek for the world.That being the case, why not take advantage of this opportunity, relying on the influence of the Guangxi Clan and relying on your own means.If you go outside to hang out, you can definitely make a name for yourself, or indirectly help the Guangxi family.And Li Zongren, Bai Chongxi and others did not want to make things difficult for others, so they agreed with him to leave... After that, Huang Shaohong left Guangxi and was sent here and there by Lao Jiang for a while.Although there were times when he was reused, he was fed up with it.After the outbreak of the Anti-Japanese War, Huang Shaohong was first sent by Lao Jiang to cooperate with Yan Xishan, and became a deputy commander-in-chief in the second war zone, and was later sent to Zhejiang as the "chairman" of the province.As a result, not long after he took office, he was reprimanded by Lao Jiang in a telegram. In the telegram, Chiang Kai-shek accused Huang Shaohong of "poor political performance and notoriety" in governing Zhejiang, and asked him to take care of himself. "Really pay attention".This telegram made Huang Shaohong so confused that he couldn't figure out where he had offended the supreme commander.Immediately, he drove to Wuhan and submitted his resignation to Jiang.Before he resigned, Jiang's words made him suddenly enlightened: "You came back from fighting in Shanxi last year, and everyone you met said that the Eighth Route Army had good military discipline. It was good at guerrilla warfare, brave in battle, how the Communist Party mobilized the masses, how to mobilize the people, and how the army and the people cooperated in the War of Resistance, etc. Wait for good words. Party departments at all levels, military officers in Whampoa, and local gentlemen are naturally unconvinced and want to gossip about you." As a result, Huang Shaohong finally understood why he became "notorious", but he was also half-dead with anger... What the hell is a good job, why don't you give me a few compliments?However, the "Chairman" of Zhejiang Province still has to continue to work, so Huang Shaohong is still staying in Jinhua, Zhejiang.

"The more this is the case, the less it will attract the attention of others." Bai Chongxi said in a deep voice: "Ji Kuan is trustworthy, and although he has established an arsenal and some militia groups in Zhejiang, Lao Jiang has been watching him all the time. It's still a waste of time... In that case, why not let him invite him to return to the central government?"

"A position in the central government? Then we need to find a good position for him..." Li Zongren thought about it, and felt that Bai Chongxi's proposal was good. , It is enough to show that Qin Wei is valued, but if Huang Shaohong is allowed to return to the central government, it cannot be a general position, let alone an idle job, otherwise, not to mention Huang Shaohong himself, even they themselves will feel uncomfortable.

"What do you think of the position of Minister of Food?" Bai Chongxi suddenly asked again: "This is a newly established department that is extremely important, but not particularly important. alert."

"Minister of Food?" Li Zongren thought for a while, then nodded again. Of course he knew about this newly established department.Due to frequent wars, the Japanese military rations are seriously insufficient.Although there are occasional supplies of chicken, duck, fish eggs, etc., after all, it has only been developed for a year or two, so it can only be regarded as an occasional tooth-beating festival for everyone.Therefore, in order to solve this problem, in the middle of last year, the national "government" specially established the "National Grain Administration" directly under the Executive Yuan, organized by Lu Zuofu, who founded the Minsheng Company.This Lu Zuofu was not simple. In the autumn of 1938, Wuhan fell, and a large number of people who retreated from Chongqing and nearly 10 tons of factory materials moved to Sichuan were collected in Yichang and transported away, and they were constantly bombed by Japanese planes.Lu Zuofu gathered all the ships and most of the business personnel of Minsheng Company, transported them in sections, rushed to transport them day and night, and ignored the indiscriminate bombing of Japanese planes. After 40 days of hard work, he finally robbed all the personnel and materials collected before the fall of Yichang. Shipped to Sichuan.And this rush-run operation attracted attention both at home and abroad, and was later hailed as China's "Dunkirk".However, despite the great efforts of Lu Zuofu and others, the shortage of military rations has not changed.For this reason, the Executive Yuan decided to set up a higher-level Ministry of Grain. Its mission was to not only investigate those who raised rice prices during the war, but also listed Sichuan, Hunan, Yunnan, Guizhou, and Jiangxi as the five first-class grain bureaus in the country, and fully controlled them.In addition, in addition to rewarding the farmers who supply the military food, they also force the farmers to collect grain... This position is indeed extremely important, but on the other hand, in this era when the military committee has full control over the overall situation, only the local people who carry out grain collection It is also difficult for the Ministry of Food to influence the situation like other departments, and it will definitely not arouse Lao Jiang's worries.

"I think it's okay. I'll contact Ji Kuan when I get back."

"I have to tell Ji Kuan that Qin Wei is very treacherous, so be careful..."

"Of course I know this, but with Ji Kuan's ability, it's hard for him to come up with any tricks."

"It's fine if he can figure out the tricks, but if he can't, he will flip the table..."
