The Republic of Heroes

Hearing the news of the increase in Japanese troops, Chiang Kai-shek felt a headache. He raised his head and saw He Yingqin standing beside him, feeling tired. He Jingzhi was indeed very respectful to him at the beginning of the KMT's reorganization, but since the Northern Expedition succeeded, After moving the capital to Nanjing, it has gradually become obedient and obedient, and is not as obedient as before.

"Respect, go back if you have nothing else to do, and leave me alone."

He Yingqin nodded and said goodbye with a blank expression. Jiang Zhongzheng was sinking his whole body into the soft sofa. He had to plan carefully for the situation in front of him.

"Wu Weizhong, Wu Weizhong, let's see why you are here..."

Ten miles north of Pukou, everyone in the temporary headquarters of the 57th Division looked confused. They originally went south to fight against Japan and fight for the country, but were blocked by the commander-in-chief in Jiangbei. What's the matter?At a loss, suddenly a guard came into the house to report.

"The Commander-in-Chief has sent someone to invite Chairman Wu across the river to Nanjing for a meeting!"

"Where are you? Please come in." Li Zejun's eyes lit up when he heard this.

But the guard said: "The person who came here left the seal of the pass and left."

"What does this mean?" Li Zejun's joy was instantly frozen, and a chill surged in his heart.

Wu Xiaoliang was different from Li Zejun. With a long sigh, he was afraid that he would not be able to see Jiang Zhongzheng, and he would not be able to understand Lao Jiang's true intentions. More importantly, he wanted to persuade this head of state who had always insisted on fighting against the outside world before making peace at home.

"Get ready, I'm going to personally go to Nanjing to meet Commander-in-Chief Jiang."

Li Zejun had doubts about this. From the time he got off the bus at Pukou, everyone here, without exception, had varying degrees of hostility. He was worried that Wu Xiaoliang's trip would be dangerous.

"I'm afraid it's inappropriate to go there rashly, why not..."

Wu Xiaoliang interrupted Li Zejun with a wave of his hand, "Ten times out of ten it's just a misunderstanding, there will be no danger next time, don't worry, just wait for me."

Based on what he knew about Lao Jiang in his previous life, this person was suspicious and suspicious, but he hadn't reached the level of brutal killing. What's more, since he was in charge of Shandong, both sides have shown goodwill to the utmost, even if he was in conflict with his heart because of his unauthorized actions. If there is a suspicion, it cannot reach the level of trapping.

When Wu Xiaoliang arrived at Jiang Zhongzheng's mansion in Nanjing, he was sitting idle in the courtyard. The tall, thin, middle-aged man in front of him frowned. Seeing Wu Xiaoliang being ushered in by his attendants, he first showed a dark expression of surprise on his face, and then Pointing to another wicker chair beside him.

"Sit down, you've worked hard along the way."

Wu Xiaoliang saw Jiang Zhongzheng's unsalty expression, he was not willing to sit down, stood up and saluted the military: "I heard that the Japanese army increased troops to Shanghai to threaten Beijing and Shanghai, so I specially brought Shandong elites to obey the command of the commander-in-chief."

Jiang Zhongzheng frowned, and said sinisterly, "Weizhong has intentions, but this important place in Beijing and Shanghai is not as provincial as him, so it's better to ask for instructions beforehand..."

Wu Xiaoliang thought, why didn't I ask you for instructions? I sent three telegrams in a row and waited for three days, but you didn't even reply to one. Now you are blaming the Shandong army for going south without asking for instructions. Of course he can't just admit it silently. up.

"The humble officer sent three telegrams in a row before going south, did the commander-in-chief see it?"

"Three telegrams?" Jiang Zhongzheng looked at Wu Xiaoliang suspiciously, not to mention three telegrams, but not even one, he suddenly felt a thump in his heart, and beckoned for his attendants to come over.

"Go to the confidential room and check if there are any telegrams from Shandong in the past few days."

Not long after, the attendant came back with a folder in his hand, opened the thick cover, took out three and handed them to Jiang Zhongzheng.

"Commander, there are indeed three telegrams."

Jiang Zhongzheng received the telegram, and after looking back and forth, it turned out to be exactly the same as what Wu Xiaoliang said. He was very angry, but he suppressed it.Jiang Zhongzheng was fighting with fire and ice in his heart, but his face did not change color at all, and his tense face stretched out, revealing a smile.

"The attendant is careless, and almost missed the big event. Weizhong, stop standing, sit down, sit down." Then he said to the attendant: "Serve tea."

Then Wu Xiaoliang stopped being polite, and sat upright on the rattan chair, with his buttocks only sticking to one side.

After the attendants finished making the tea, Jiang Zhongzheng said: "Wei Zhongna, it's not that the central government is avoiding the war. Now we must focus on the overall situation. China's current national strength cannot withstand a war with Japan. However, the war in Shanghai is inevitable. This battle is definitely going to be fought, how to fight it, tell me your opinion.”

Jiang Zhongzheng let go of his doubts, and then carefully looked at the young general in front of him.Not tall, with a square face and sword eyebrows, with a faint bookish air, he is a typical northerner and southern face.

Wu Xiaoliang straightened his body, and said solemnly: "Xiaoliang leads his troops as the commander-in-chief, and is willing to fight the Japanese invaders to the death to show China's determination to resist Japan."

He used all his strength to speak, and what he said was so impassioned that even the attendants at the side were infected, and suddenly felt their blood boil.Jiang Zhongzheng was also very appreciative and said three good things in a row.

"Okay, okay, okay! We have people with lofty ideals like Weizhong, how can we say that China can't be strong!"

Wu Xiaoliang continued to say solemnly: "Commander-in-Chief, the reason why the Japanese army dared to repeatedly attack China is because China is weak and can be bullied. If we don't take a tough attitude, I am afraid that after Shanghai, we will make more progress."

Jiang Zhongzheng nodded secretly. He also thought what Wu Xiaoliang said was reasonable, but he was only going head-to-head with Japan. What would he use to fight?Can the armies of the major warlords be counted on?In the end, it's not going to fall on the head of the Central Army. If the Central Army beats him, what will he use to contend with the domestic warlords?These were things he couldn't tell Wu Xiaoliang explicitly.However, seeing that he is so active in asking for a war, it is not a bad idea to let him lead his troops to fight Japan. It can not only consume its extremely inflated strength, but also fight against the Japanese army without mobilizing the main force of the Central Army to increase the prestige of the Nanjing Central Government. Why not do it!

"Warriors of China's Weizhong Realm, I'm afraid that most of your army is recruited and cannot stand up to the well-trained Japanese army, which will only increase casualties."

When Wu Xiaoliang heard what Jiang Zhongzheng said, he suddenly felt that he had a door, so he got up and said: "The country is in trouble, and how dare you care about life and death!"

Jiang Zhongzheng clapped his hands and praised: "Okay, I, Jiang Zhongzheng, didn't miss the mark. If you have any difficulties, just ask me."

Then he turned around and said to the attendant: "From now on, all telegrams from Weizhong will be sent to me first, and all telegrams will be processed first."

Wu Xiaoliang was overjoyed, he didn't expect that the originally very difficult matter would turn around so smoothly, Jiang Zhongzheng made Wu Xiaoliang step down after another deep exhortation.

Watching Wu Xiaoliang disappear outside the door, Jiang Zhongzheng said to himself: "Wu Weizhong is just a mediocre man, there is nothing to be afraid of if you are brave and resourceful!"

He was more worried about He Yingqin. Wu Xiaoliang's telegram was somehow suppressed. He must have been behind the scenes. The tree wants to be quiet but the wind is not stopping. This He Jingzhi is too selfish. He may not have any objection against him. Thoughts, it must be that reckless man Wu Xiaoliang hindering his way.
