The Republic of Heroes

Despite his successive victories in the military, the biggest problem Wu Xiaoliang is currently facing is the shortage of troops. Lao Jiang in Xuzhou has declined his request for additional troops several times.However, if he wants to achieve a decisive victory with the strength of the Shandong Army alone, he will inevitably pay a heavy price. This is not the result he is happy to see.

"Looks like it's time for Shirakawa Yoshinori to use it..."

Since the outbreak of the Battle of Songhu, Yang Xiaoou, who has always been around Wu Xiaoliang, was a little confused, but he also vaguely guessed his intentions.

"Then I'll order someone to go to Changshu and bring Bai Chuanyi here!"

Wu Xiaoliang nodded in agreement.

"The most urgent task now is who to find to connect with the Japanese?"

Yang Xiaoou's eyes dimmed for a while.

"With the expansion of the war, our Nanjing government's intelligence network in Shanghai has almost been uprooted by the Japanese. There is no suitable candidate."

"Shanghai can't do it. They don't have the final decision-making power. This matter can only be done directly with the Japanese government or high-level military officials."

Direct contact with high-level Japanese cabinet?Yang Xiaoou's jaw was almost taken off by Wu Xiaoliang's statement. The local government of Shandong had risen in the Republic of China in a very short period of time, and it only took one or two months to become famous all over the world, thanks to the Sino-Japanese war.But in any case, Wu Xiaoliang's time in power in Shandong is still young, and his foundation is not solid, let alone developing intelligence routes to the outside world.It is a bit too unrealistic to talk to the top of the Japanese cabinet.

Yang Xiaoou's expression of disapproval all fell into Wu Xiaoliang's eyes, "Don't worry if you are as firm as a brother, a good show is about to be staged!"

The fact that he has worked hard in Suidong for ten years is easily overlooked by the world, because Wu Xiaoliang was forced to step down as early as ten years ago, and judging from his behavior after he stepped down, it seems that he has completely given up his influence on Suidong. Or remote control, after all, he was strictly prohibited from participating in Suidong affairs in the secret agreement back then, and he never set foot in Suidong again in the next ten years.

Therefore, in the eyes of the world, the land in Suidong already belonged to Fang Qidao, Wu Xiaoliang's Baoding classmate and subordinate.It's just that Fang Qidao acts in a low-key manner, and the three eastern provinces separated from the customs by the Feng Dynasty rarely participate in domestic affairs, which makes him even more mysterious.It is said that this person is quite close to the old Soviet Union, and he may have completely surrendered to the old Maozi.For this reason, Suidong was nominally under the national government, but in fact it was already no different from an independent kingdom.

This is the most common view of the vast majority of people in the domestic political arena and military circles. In fact, Wu Xiaoliang has not loosened his control over Suidong for a moment during his ten years in the field.The Liangda consortium behind Wu Xiaoliang has infiltrated every corner of Suidong Province from economy, industry to national defense and military in ten years.It may not be easy to put this point in the provinces in the pass, but Suidong is different. It has a small population and almost zero industrial and agricultural foundations, so almost all civilian and military enterprises are invested by the Liangda consortium.Even so, the Suidong government has continued to run a fiscal deficit for the past ten years, but it cannot afford the defense budget alone.The Beiyang government and the current Nanjing government are mostly just verbal promises, and have never allocated a penny to Suidong.

The huge financial budget would be unimaginable if the Liangda consortium fully supports it. It can be said that without the support of the Liangda consortium, the Suidong government may close its doors at any time.

This point shows that the Liangda Consortium has a strong influence in the Suidong provincial government, so the world only saw that Wu Xiaoliang was in Shandong in just a few months, and he was promoted from a bare-bones provincial chairman without a single soldier. However, the myth of becoming the most powerful warlord in Shandong and thus controlling the power of the entire province did not see the powerful forces behind it, including the military support of Suidong and the economic support of the Liangda consortium.Theoretically, it is not a problem for him to gain control of any victory or defeat in the country by himself. After ten years of accumulation, Wu Xiaoliang's goal is not just a Shandong. As long as the Japanese are still eyeing it, this will always be his biggest heart disease!

Ten years of accumulation and development, Suidong and Liangda have almost merged into one. Liangda has devoted too much effort in Suidong, and this group has also planned for a rainy day under the instruction of Wu Xiaoliang, so they also have a considerable amount in Japan. It is not a big problem to contact the top of the Japanese cabinet.Even the Japanese government intends to allow it to develop in Japan, which can be regarded as a window for them to contact Suidong.

These are things Yang Xiaoou doesn't understand, what he has seen of Wu Xiaoliang's strength is just the tip of the iceberg.

……

Kenji Ueda cooperated beyond common sense, and was guarded by Yu Sanhe's people with almost no resistance. After all, he was a lieutenant general of the enemy's army, and he was not put on restraints.But when it was time to clean up the patients in that room, something happened.

Four soldiers entered this so-called advanced ward unsuspectingly, but they were greeted by several cold bullets. One soldier was killed on the spot, two soldiers were seriously injured, and only one escaped.

Even if Yu Sanhe was annoyed, these soldiers are now his precious lumps, and three people were lost in one ward, how could he not feel distressed?It also made the major of the Central Army surnamed Zhang see a joke.Therefore, he rolled up his sleeves and pulled out the two bursting box cannons inserted in his waist. He was the first to rush into the ward, and then pointed his hands alternately at the inside and fired consecutively.In an instant, bullets rolled and flew in the ward, fragments of porcelain cups, and pieces of wood splashed everywhere, until the air strikes from the two guns did not stop.

Only then did Yu Sanhe take a closer look at the situation in the ward. He thought there were many people inside, but unexpectedly there was only one large hospital bed in the huge room. The short man covered in bandages lay weakly on the edge of the bed, with his right hand dangling in the air, and a Southern Type [-] pistol on the ground.The wounds on this man's body were shocking, except for the thick bandage on his back that was still oozing faintly, the left leg was empty from the knee down, it must have been severely damaged and had been amputated in its entirety.

It is a tough devil to be able to fight back with a gun after being so seriously injured, but it is a pity that the old injury has not healed and a new injury has been added. The bandaged thigh is bleeding profusely. Looking up, it seems that some part of the root of the thigh has been injured.

Zhang Zhonglin also followed in at this time, and went up to check his breath, but he was still angry.

"Brother Yu is brave. This devil is still angry. It seems that his status is not low. Let's rescue him first. Maybe it will come in handy in the future!"

To be able to live in such a spacious ward alone, and there are more than a dozen well-trained soldiers guarding it, is definitely not an easy person.Another point is that Kenkichi Ueda came out of this human house. The battle ahead is urgent. Could it be ordinary people who can ask him to come to visit him in person at this time?
