The Iron and Steel Frenzy of the Republic of China

Still in the Lushan Villa, Zhu Bin’s ultimatum was issued for twelve hours, and there are still twelve hours before the deadline. I have confirmed how many defectors are in all the branch forces, how many are standing on the fence with unstable positions, and how many are still there. It is a firm support, and the final conclusion is quite pessimistic!

Lao Jiang's hard-core confidants gathered together to fill up the villa inside and out. In order to ensure safety, they mobilized the most elite teaching corps to be fully armed. People fly fighter planes around the sky, wishing to turn this place into a secret room where no flies can fly in.

There is no way, no one is sure, whether Zhu Bin will break his promise and act ahead of time, causing some accidents or something to make them disappear from the world, that would be too sad.

In the small conference room of the villa, the smoke was lingering. Lao Jiang, who does not smoke or drink, believes in Christianity and is strict with himself, let go of the restrictions for the first time. He frowned and allowed his subordinates to smoke to relax, but obviously the effect was not very good.

In summer, the trees on Mount Lu are shady and the wind blows slowly, so it should be very cool, but each of them is either feeling cold all over their bodies, or sweating all over their bodies, as if they were exposed to the sun. like. [

Lao Jiang sat in the middle of the rostrum, and He Yingqin next to him was holding a stack of statistical reports in his hand. His voice was dry and his fingers were pale. The total strength of the Central Army is 80 divisions, with more than [-] people! The river defense ships and the navy that belonged to the former Central Thunder School are not firm. Fortunately, the [-] excellent pilots of the Central Air Force vowed to protect the safety of the chairman! Jiangsu, Zhejiang and Shanghai Celebrities, gentry and politicians from all sides have made it clear that the chairman of the committee cannot lead China to prosperity and prosperity..."

Before he finished reading, Lao Jiang waved his hands vigorously: "Okay! Don't read those nice words on the scene! Those profit-seeking merchants have already pledged their loyalty to Zhu Hanchen in private. I don't know Humph, it really is a disaster and they fly separately. Merchants, after all, are unreliable!"

He Yingqin nodded again and again: "Yes, yes, yes! The chairman can see thousands of miles away, and he can see every detail! They may indeed have two ends! Our own people are more reliable!"

Lao Jiang couldn't hold back his face anymore, and said with a self-deprecating wry smile: "I can't blame others for finding another way out when they are in today's situation. After all, I, the chairman of the committee, can't bring them more benefits. These years, Zhu Hanchen led them to make a lot of money. Businessmen are after profit! Who is like me, who has no business skills? Hey, let them go!"

The hard-core confidantes next to him hurriedly comforted them, while Dai Li and other intelligence chiefs had beads of sweat on their foreheads.What does this mean?They are incompetent at their jobs!If it is more forceful, coercion and temptation will also make those businessmen stand firm, and they will not be so passive at the moment.

He Yingqin didn't dare to say it, but he couldn't help complaining in his heart: "Those merchants betrayed their trust and defected, so they were forced by your old relatives of the Jiang family?! The consortiums in Jiangsu, Zhejiang and Shanghai paid to support the Northern Expedition at the beginning, and after that You supported the finances of the Central Army with all your strength. In the end, you got the top spot. Even during the Battle of Shanghai in 1932, when the self-righteous Wang Jingwei and Sun Ke came to power, they were shocked to find that there was no way to mobilize financial funds. I have no choice but to let you take the stage again and officially establish your position... After all, the amount of investment and contribution made by those people is large enough.”

Look at it the other way around.How did Lao Jiang do it?If someone loses 1000 million yuan, he asks for 3000 million yuan!Just asking for money is not enough, so they simply let Song Ziwen, Kong Xiangxi and others directly seize the family's foundation, rob the four major banks, and rely on the convenience of currency issuance rights to finally unify the finances and turn against customers.

Over the years, if it wasn't for Lao Jiang's connivance and protection.Letting these diehards under his command run amok, it is a run on and seized the interests of many capitalists from the Jiangsu, Zhejiang and Shanghai consortiums, causing anger and resentment, and dare not speak out.Now that it's finally time for liquidation, it's no wonder they can continue to support them!

At the beginning, I broke up with Zhu Bin and brought down the WorldCom Group by taking the salary from the bottom of the pot. Those people in the Jiangsu and Zhejiang consortia may not really dare to confront Zhu Bin. It was because they were coerced and coerced by the four major families. If they disagreed, they would go bankrupt. Decide?

In the final analysis, I don't cultivate good karma, but now I blame others, hehe, it is really wise and powerful!

Doesn't Lao Jiang know what's wrong with him?Of course it is clear, but he will never admit it. Now that the critical moment has come, since those guys have already stood in line, he doesn't need to pretend to be nice, anyway, the trees fall and the monkeys disperse, and everyone cares about himself!

Chen Bulei was conscientious, offering advice and suggestions: "There are 80 strong troops, and we may not be incapable of fighting! Anyway, the chairman is also the leader elected by the people of the whole country. How can they change it at will? Everything There must always be a rule, I don't believe that Zhu Hanchen dared to risk the disgrace of the world, brazenly raised troops to start a civil war! Without the support of hundreds of millions of people, no matter how big his appetite is, it won't help!"

A group of military leaders next to them looked sideways, and secretly sneered in their hearts: "80 troops? Where can we make do? Without the support of the Jiangsu, Zhejiang and Shanghai consortia, the government can't get a penny! No money, don't listen to those people Shouting loudly, there are not a few people who immediately defected! Even if the nominal 80 is now, most of them are just talking and waiting to see the results, right? The Central Army with many factions, hehe, who doesn’t know what it is!"

Even the military leaders present here today may not really have Lao Jiang in their hearts, and there are quite a few people who look at the wind direction as a reference for their own plans. It is difficult for anyone to say what kind of judgment they will make at the last moment.

But no matter what, Zhu Bin's general situation has been established. He has won the support of the vast majority of factions, and he has mastered financial resources, industry, industry and agriculture.However, the prestige that Lao Jiang originally relied on, when the great powers declared war, he kept silent, which led to a huge weakening, but Zhu Bin became famous because he defeated the attack of the coalition forces. It is also logical.

Everything is salvageable, what other tricks does Lao Jiang have to fight back?

Looking around, Lao Jiang suddenly felt a sense of desolation lingering in his chest.Those closest to him were basically absent.Song Ziwen was driven to the United States by him, Kong Xiangxi went to the United States as a secret envoy to negotiate and did not come back, and his wife Song Meiling went to the United States to support her health.There is still one Chen brother left, but it is a pity that apart from engaging in internal struggles and fighting for power and profit, it cannot be of much help.He Yingqin seems to be a go-getter, but Lao Jiang knows it, so he said that he tried to let the air force bomb him to death during the Xi'an Incident in 36!

That is to say, Chen Cheng, the political minister and the deputy commander-in-chief of the second war zone, is quite reliable.You can be sure that you are loyal and trustworthy. In the final analysis, your own Whampoa faction is reliable!

However, Hu Zongnan is now entangled in the northwest of the powerful generals in the Huangpu Department, and Liu Zhi and Wei Lihuang are ordered to station in Xuzhou.However, he was surrounded and forced by Liu Deng's army that advanced into the Dabie Mountains, unable to advance or retreat; Gui Yongqing's teaching corps, with a hundred thousand troops, was in front of him, and he was very trustworthy in taking over the defense of Nanjing and Lushan. Iron they can't drive a few nails. [

The other large group of Whampoa generals consisted of hundreds of dozens of generals, all of whom commanded one group army or army-level forces.Although they can all be trusted, those division commanders, brigade commanders, and regimental commanders under their hands may not be trustworthy.After all, they were not the backbone elites who started with the Northern Expedition. In the face of huge temptation, it is hard to say whether they stand firm or not.

After all the calculations, the site is not small and there are many teams.The structure is relatively complete, but it can all be divided and surrounded, and there is no way to advance or retreat.

Shanghai was occupied and blocked by the East China Sea Fleet. The 87th and 88th model divisions were forced to retreat to the outskirts of Nanjing.Hu Zongnan and Liu Zhi had 60 to 30 troops cut out; Gu Zhutong and Xue Yue's [-] people were restrained by Li Zongren's department on the front line of Jiangxi and Zhejiang; the Sichuan Army had a lot of people.But Liu Xiang seems to have turned against him again.

Their reasons are very legitimate. The Sichuan army is used to fight against foreign enemies, not to engage in internal strife.By the way, they also saved Chongqing.With Lu Zuofu's cooperation in the local area, this important industrial town will never be lost.

A large group of the Central Army is separated on both sides of the Yangtze River, but they have no water power at all!The Yangtze River Bridge is the only bridge for communication, but it is controlled by the Jiang Defense Force.

Could it be that he stepped down so disheartened?Lao Jiang is not reconciled, and neither are his subordinates!

It's useless to reason now.Zhu Bin accounts for more than half of the media mouthpieces in the country. Without his consent, the broadcast cannot be released. Newspapers and the like want to publish, but they also have to look at their face. Few of the heavily infiltrated workers are oriented toward the Central Army. With one call, even the typesetting people can't get together!

It's not that Lao Jiang's subordinates are too capable, at least both the military commander and the central commander are working hard.However, what they have been busy with is how to find out how to suppress those speeches that are harmful to the central government and Chiang Kai-shek, but rarely develop a reliable personnel force among the workers, and because of excessive suppression and killing, it is very annoying to the intellectuals, except for those used by the queen. Apart from the knife and pen officials, if you want to find some good words, there are not many.

This shows the disadvantages of spy rule!

No matter what dynasty, spy organizations are notorious and unpopular.You can compare the Jinyiwei in the Ming Dynasty with what they were rumored to be. In the final analysis, it is still impossible to get rid of the gang habits of the Democratic Party, so it is not as powerful as the real dignified formation.It's no wonder that a bunch of party sticks and corrupt officials can make things happen without the support of the cultural and intellectual circles at the top, and without solidarity with the workers and peasants at the bottom!

A depressing atmosphere hangs over the entire small conference room. Except for sporadic and out-of-the-ordinary suggestions, there are no reliable ideas that can catch everyone's eyes.Time, just like this, keeps passing by.

These loyal descendants of Chiang Kai-shek didn't notice that another undercurrent was surging outside.

At the foot of Mount Lu, in the temporary command headquarters of the Second Special Armored Brigade of the Central Teaching Corps as a defensive force, brigade commander Zhang Yansong is still unrestrained, with his style buckled open, his military cap casually placed on the table, his usually careless eyes However, it radiated a sharp light that people dare not look directly at, and swept across all the school-level officers on the opposite side coldly, and asked in a drawn-out tone: "I will ask again for the last time! Who else has different opinions, now Quit, there is still time!"

"I have no opinion!"

"I agree with Traveler's approach!"

"He's a ****! It's time for him to do this! I didn't become a soldier for money, and I didn't kill enemies for the country. Instead, I served as a housekeeper for a bunch of half-hearted bastards. I don't want to serve!"

"Get it done! We teach the people in the main team, we can't bear the reputation of being a shrinking turtle! It's a man who leads the handle, so let's stand up once!"

... The happy roar filled the room one after another.

A thin-skinned and tender-skinned group leader huddled in a corner, watching with a pale face the group of guys who showed their true colors kept roaring treacherous declarations, and couldn't help trembling.Bleeding from biting his lips, but no matter what he didn't dare to make a sound.

Sima Jinming was next to the main seat, with a cold smile on the corner of his mouth, he glanced over, slammed the table and shouted sharply: "He Zixiu! Do you agree or not, talk!"

The head of the regiment trembled all over, knocked over the teacup on the table by mistake, and swayed away from the chair.Yu Lunci said in a trembling voice: "I...I can't do that! Minister He will kill me! I also advise you not to mess around, this is Lushan Mountain! There are hundreds of thousands of brothers around...you won't successful!"

Zhang Yansong stood up suddenly as soon as he slapped the table, Bai Fang bared his teeth and sneered, "Sure enough, you're a worthless bastard who is stuffed in here! You don't even have the guts to say no loudly, it's really embarrassing for your uncle who is a minister! Okay, Since you don't agree, then it's not our group! Come on. Let me drag you out! Kill me! It's just for us to sacrifice the flag!" [

Two burly guards rushed forward, each with one arm, and dragged the white-faced head of the regiment like a chick. He Zixiu, the head of the regiment, was struggling desperately and screamed: "You can't kill me! My uncle is He Zixiu!" Minister! He won't let you go...!"

Not long after the shouting, after two gunshots of "bang bang", it completely stopped.

He Yansong picked up his military cap and put it on his head.He straightened the brim of his hat vigorously, and his body was so tall and mighty, he swept over everyone majesticly, and said loudly: "Okay! The garbage moths are cleaned out. Next, we brothers will work hard together to brighten the world for our China. A bright future, except for those rotting corpses! Take action!"

He waved his hand vigorously, and the meteor strode out of the command post first, and the rest of the officers swarmed to follow. After a while, a burst of chaotic engines roared and the camera sounded, and the rolling traffic scattered in all directions!

Second Special Armored Brigade.The predecessor was the Second Mixed Brigade. In the battle against Japan, it made great achievements and was invincible in attacking cities and villages.Played the prestige of the teaching team!Zhang Yansong and Sima Jinming, the hardcore partners, also won many awards for this, but because of Jiang's order and Gui Yongqing's forced order, they all had to withdraw halfway, and did not enjoy the victory of the final victory over Japan.

Such a result made the officers and soldiers of the teaching corps very dissatisfied.But who made Gui Yongqing a loyal student of Lao Jiang, it's useless to have a lot of resentment.And Lao Jiang felt that this iron-blooded army that had been tempered by the flames of war was reliable, capable of combat, with the best equipment and the most experience, so he transferred it back and kept it with him.

It's just that when he wanted to replace all the officers in it and turn them all into the Whampoa department, he encountered unanimous resistance from top to bottom.Just kidding, which officer here has no one above?Even if it is a small soldier, it is selected by various units. Among other units, the elite can at least be a squad leader and a platoon leader. With a network of tens of thousands of people, Lao Jiang can do nothing, just replace part of the foundation. Middle-level officers who are too shallow will let it go.

But Lao Jiang also rest assured that the top level of these people's network is also inseparable from his interests. It is a happy choice for everyone to guard around Nanjing. Who doesn't want to have trustworthy people guarding the courtyard?

So there was the matter of teaching the corps to be the guard of Gyeonggi.The security work on Lushan Mountain was originally carried out by Lao Jiang's guards. This time, in order to ensure that there is no mistake, the second special armored brigade, which is the most capable and best equipped, was mobilized as the periphery.But they never expected that Zhang Yansong and Sima Jinming, the minds of this group of elite soldiers, had a double heart at a critical moment!

They are going to engage in mutiny!

These two guys have never contacted Zhu Bin before!Zhang Yansong's elder is also a very important member of the Central Party Committee, and his roots are very upright, so his seat is also very secure.But who would have thought that this playboy-like guy had another idea deep in his heart that outsiders could understand?At this critical juncture of right and wrong, he finally broke out uncontrollably and became a fatal, completely defenseless killer!

The entire Second Armored Brigade is equipped with genuine "Cheetah" tanks and "Wolverine" infantry vehicles!The combat effectiveness of the entire team is the first, and each regiment leader is a proud soldier. The so-called family does not enter the family. Deep down in the hearts of these young people with an average age of about [-] or so, there is a group of young people who have been deeply influenced by Jiang Baili. The spirit of righteousness of the country for the people was hidden, but when Sima Jinming inspired it, it all came out!

A sudden mutiny cannot be released by anyone, and it is even more convenient to mobilize all troops under the highest alert state. After returning, each regiment leader yelled, and directly drove up the mountain road with tanks and infantry combat vehicles. In all directions, all the guard posts set up by the personal guards were wiped out, and then they began to attack upwards!

The sudden chaos caught the mountain by surprise. After receiving the report, Gui Yongqing couldn't believe it at all. After repeated questioning, he grabbed the phone and wanted to call the headquarters, angrily scolding Zhang Yansong: "What the hell are you doing?! Take the troops back quickly and wait for punishment! "

Zhang Yansong hummed twice and directly hung up the phone, squinting at the top of the mountain, hundreds of guards in armor and assault rifles were being beaten back by the artillery and machine guns of the armored tanks, and they were forced into the center with billowing smoke! (to be completed)
