Age of Rebirth

"You...!" Chen Lifu's words were extremely insidious, almost pointing out that Zhang Zhizhong had selfish intentions, Zhang Zhizhong was so angry that his face was livid, pointing at him speechless.

Obviously, Chen Lifu did not want to let Zhang Zhizhong go, and continued: "Wen Bai, in the face of big right and wrong, personal friendship cannot replace justice, and personal feelings cannot override the interests of the party and the government. Order, regard myself as a member of the Kuomintang, regard Generalissimo Chiang as the only leader, and hand over the army under my command to the Military Commission, and I will not make such a bad move!"

"If Wen Bai can convince someone in Tang to follow the above points, why should I take such a huge risk to do such an extreme move, and even risk the infamy of imprisoning an anti-Japanese hero, and being misunderstood and resented by the people of the country?"

Zhang Zhizhong was about to explode with anger. He had never seen anyone as shameless as Chen Lifu. The personal entanglement between Chen Lifu and Tang Qiuli was no secret inside the government, and the two had always been at odds.

Now, Chen Lifu is using the benefits of the national government to come to the top, but in fact, the officials present and the chairman of the Generalissimo are all clear in their hearts. It is completely selfish revenge, but what he said is not unreasonable. Tang Qiuli is independent of the people. Apart from the control of the government, especially Chairman Jiang, this one thing is enough for Chairman Jiang to deal with it ruthlessly.

He Yingqin paid close attention to the situation in the living room with a high degree of nervousness, and he has not spoken. He also knows that he is now a fallen phoenix, and his words have no weight, but judging from the old man's expression, it is obvious that he is quite moved by Chen Lifu's suggestion. It's time to show off.Then he stood up and said slowly: "I agree with Minister Chen's words. Personal friendship is insignificant compared with the interests of the state and the party. It is a gentleman's behavior to choose righteousness and abandon personal friendship!"

Zhang Zhizhong calmed down. He knew that no matter from which angle he opposed Chen Lifu's proposal, it would not be convincing. Only by focusing on military strength could the old man and the officials wake up from their dreams and end Tang Qiuli's house arrest. This absurd and dangerous opposite.

Zhang Zhizhong's tone.He became very calm, and said: "Let's not mention personal friendship and righteousness for the time being. Let's just say that according to Minister Chen's suggestion, after Tang Qiuli is placed under house arrest, it will be so difficult to deal with the aftermath. Have you ever thought about it?"

"Independent divisions implement a centralized and decentralized command system, with well-equipped field corps with a large number of soldiers as combat units. Tang Qiuli is in the middle of the overall plan, and other generals perform their duties and have the right to lead the army. For example, Its deputy commander Liu Tiehan, in the Northeast and Far East, commands the Dongzhi and Outer Mongolia Field Corps directly under him, a total of more than 130 million elite troops!"

"The other deputy division commander, Tang Qiusheng, is Tang Qiuli's cousin, commanding six corps of independent divisions in the Indochina Peninsula, East India and Southwest Pacific regions. An elite field force of more than 240 million people. In addition, there are still troops A local security force of 10 people!"

"I list these data just to illustrate a problem. After Tang Qiuli is placed under house arrest, it is not difficult to achieve the goal of controlling the independent division. The two deputy division commanders under his command can completely shoulder the heavy responsibility of commanding his troops!"

"Therefore, even if Tang Qiuli is under house arrest, the independent division will not be in chaos. On the contrary, under the command of two deputy division commanders, they will send troops to Chongqing and surround Chongqing. May I ask Minister Chen, by then, the entire national government, including Chiang Kai-shek? Including the chairman, wouldn’t it be imprisoned in Chongqing by millions of troops from the Independent Division! With the current strength of the Central Army, it is impossible to win!”

"Which is more important than paying the entire national government and Chairman Jiang for the sake of one Tang Qiuli? Can I say that Minister Chen's suggestion is extremely unwise, and even puts the Chairman Jiang and Chairman Jiang at the expense of his own selfishness?" Does the government care about the life and death of the government? The government and Generalissimo Jiang are not here, is the Communist Party taking advantage of it, and is Minister Chen suspected of helping the Communist Party take advantage of the opportunity to gain power and control the country?"

Zhang Zhizhong is also a veteran of the officialdom, and his ability is not given for nothing. His words were sharp, and Chen Lifu's sinister intentions were exposed to the world. He accused him of making such a bad plan out of selfishness and disregarding Chairman Jiang's safety. Now, It was Chen Lifu's turn to be speechless, blushing, pointing at Zhang Zhizhong and saying, "You..."

"Okay, stop arguing, you two!" Generalissimo Jiang could see and hear clearly, so he stopped him. He knew that Zhang Zhizhong was telling the truth, so he didn't alienate Wen Bai, but Chen Lifu's Suggestion is really tempting. If two people continue to argue, they will never have a head. Do you want to do other things?

Zhang Qun also came out to smooth things over and said: "Minister Chen, Minister Zhang, we are discussing the feasibility of this matter. The two of you should not be arrogant and affect your correct judgment!"

Both the old man and the chief think tank came forward to speak. Zhang Zhizhong and Chen Lifu couldn't argue any longer. They looked at each other viciously, held back their anger, and sat down.

Chairman Jiang's eyes turned to Wei Lihuang and Xue Yue. Among all the generals of the Central Army, Chen Cheng was the most loyal to him. This is true, but Wei and Xue were the most capable of fighting. From the military's point of view, is this feasible?" He was asking military generals for their opinion.

Wei Lihuang and Xue Yue exchanged glances, Wei Lihuang got up and said: "Chairman, with the current strength of the Central Army, it is impossible to repel the siege of the independent division troops. If there is a war, it can last for three months at most! "

"Well! I know!" Chairman Jiang sighed deeply in his heart. The army is not good enough, which is his biggest weakness. What Wei Lihuang said is not exaggeration and fear of war, but the truth. His own more than 180 million The Central Army is not the opponent of Tang Qiuli's independent division. It may be difficult to last for three months, or even one month!

Chairman Jiang's eyes turned to Dai Li again. This is another absolute confidant of his. He has always been thoughtful. Dai Li has never said a word. Does he have any other ideas?

"Yu Nong, tell me your opinion?" Generalissimo Jiang was about to arrive.

Dai Li knew that he couldn't escape this hurdle. To be honest, he sneered at Chen Lifu's suggestion, thinking that this guy had lost his head. There are two intelligence and governance agencies, and the hidden strength in Chongqing, to put it an exaggeration, can pull up no less than 5 troops overnight, that is, within the Central Army. Who can guarantee that [-]% of the troops are all Soldiers who listen to the old man?

Another point is that Dai Li's fear of Tang Qiuli seems to be deeply rooted in his bones. Regarding Chen Lifu's overreaching thoughts, he thinks that he is courting death. Tang Qiuli, with the help of this big boss, got rid of Chen Lifu, and then uprooted the Central Unification Bureau and eliminated his competitors?

However, what we have to deal with now is Chairman Jiang's questioning. He can't openly oppose it like Zhang Zhizhong did. Therefore, Dai Li frowned tightly and said: "Principal, maybe it's because of occupation. The students are considering it. Minister Zhang is different!"

"Oh! Yu Nong, what do you think, tell me!" Generalissimo Jiang urged with interest.

"Yes! Principal, the students should talk endlessly!" Dai Li said respectfully: "What the students think is whether Vice Chairman Tang has taken precautions when he returns to China to attend the Central Standing Committee meeting. The guards he brought have six There are more than a hundred people, and all of them are officers who are capable of recruiting and fighting, and their weapons and equipment are excellent, which is enviable. The Central Army does not have it, so the students think, why does Vice Chairman Tang do this?"

"Also, the current country is not a war zone, so there is no danger, but there are as many as 52 fighter jets escorting the special plane of Vice Chairman Tang. Chongqing Airport, Director Zhou of the General Aviation Administration is an expert on this point, so he knows the situation better.

In Zhou Zhirou's heart, she scolded Dai Li's eight generations of ancestors all over the place. Originally, she had nothing to do with her, but she just had an ear. I'm not qualified to be a part of such a major event. Your Dai Li's nose in the Military Control Bureau is worse than a dog's Ling, pervasive, would he not know about the fighter jets and bombers that were parked at Chongqing Airport and followed Tang Qiuli?

Sure enough, Chairman Jiang cast his eyes on Zhou Zhirou who was sitting in the corner, and asked very gently, "Xiangqian, what's going on?"

Zhou Zhirou hurriedly got up, swallowed, and answered carefully: "Chairman, this is indeed the case. The fighters and bombers I escorted for Vice Chairman Tang, a total of 64, are parked at Chongqing Airport!"

"All combat aircraft are of the latest model. The combat flight unit of the Aviation Administration has no equipment. The humble staff once sent people into the airport to find out some information, but they couldn't get close. The military police who guarded the airport were all driven away. , replaced by the soldiers brought by Vice Chairman Tang, the guards are so heavily guarded that no one else can get close.”

"Also, these combat aircraft are fully loaded with ammunition and fuel, and they are all in a state of battle. Even when eating, they also eat in shifts. It is ensured that half of the pilots stay in the aircraft. After receiving the order, in the shortest time, that is, It can take off and take off!"

After Zhou Zhirou finished speaking, everyone, including Chairman Jiang, was stunned, especially Chen Lifu, whose face was as ugly as death. What kind of house arrest Tang Qiuli is, something that cannot be realized at all. To start, Tang Qiuli's guards must be eliminated first, but with a single order from him, fighter jets and bombers loaded with ammunition can blow up the chairman's mansion into ruins, which is almost the same as murdering the chairman himself!

"Alas!" Generalissimo Jiang let out a long sigh, and he finally understood that Tang Qiuli was in Chongqing, but he never dared to do it himself, "Mother Xipi! When I return to China for a meeting, I will bring hundreds of guards and more than 60 aircraft. The plane is too arrogant!" He cursed inwardly, feeling very depressed.
