Chapter 212 Conscience

"Commander-in-Chief, are you confident?" Deputy Commander-in-Chief Xia Zhongqing asked with concern during the lunch break.

"Yes, after a day and a half of discussion, everyone has expressed a lot of opinions, and I have also received some inspiration from them. I almost have a draft on how to deal with this war. How about it. Shen Ren, you go to inform the commander of the group army The above-mentioned cadres, come to my house for lunch." Obviously, Wu Aihua wanted to unify the opinions of the top leaders of the National Defense Forces.

Shen Ren has been acting as Wu Aihua's personal bodyguard. Although he is in the limelight all the time, he does not have the freedom of Mai Maiyi, Hao Yong, and Kong Wu, let alone the power they have.Fortunately, Shen Ren and others are all robots, and their use is to serve Wu Aihua and be used by Wu Aihua.Otherwise, he would really be wronged.

Above the commander of the group army, except for Yu Hanmou, Xiang Hanping, and Li Jingyang of the former Cantonese Army who seemed to have mediocre personal relationships, everyone else can be called "friends", so when they heard that the commander-in-chief invited them to eat, they ran like Like a rabbit.

"Commander-in-Chief, what do you want us to eat?" Zhang Guanglu, Minister of Intelligence, asked before entering the door.

"As the minister of intelligence, you don't even know what to eat for lunch. You are not very qualified as a minister." Wu Aihua joked.

"The commander-in-chief has entertained us nine times in total, and the dishes are different each time. This time, what will it be? Let's guess how?" Zhang Guanglu did not accept the move, but pushed the question out.

At this time, everyone has arrived, and everyone looks at me and I look at you, and no one speaks first.

"I'll give you 100 Huaxia coins, and if you guess right, you'll get a prize, how about that?" Zhang Guanglu asked temptingly.

Huaxia currency, with gold as its original price, is pegged to the U.S. dollar in international trade. About 1 US dollar is equivalent to 10 Huaxia currency, and 1 Huaxia currency is equivalent to 1/4 of the original silver dollar.As for the relationship with the legal currency issued by the national government, Wu Aihua's instruction was not to have any relationship with it, and the domestic settlement should be calculated in silver dollars, Huaxia currency, or US dollars.Only Wu Aihua, who is a traveler, understands that as long as there is a war, the legal currency will immediately be like a piece of paper.The dignitaries of the national government wanted to make money through the war, but Wu Aihua didn't want to suffer from it.This is actually the purpose of Wu Aihua's investment in establishing Huanan Bank.

The bet given by Zhang Guanglu can only be regarded as a small bet in front of these generals who hold heavy troops.With the development of the National Defense Forces and the victories one after another, the minimum monthly income of the commander of the group army and the directors of various departments is no less than 5000 Huaxia Yuan.If allowances, rewards, etc. are added, the monthly income is tens of thousands.

"It's hard to guess. China's food culture is so rich. How can we guess the eight major cuisines, local famous dishes, and local snacks?" Said the navy commander Lin Guozhang.

"Hehe, it's really hard to guess. It's cold today, so let's eat Chongqing hot pot." Following the words, Wu Aihua, the host of the banquet, finally walked in.

"Chongqing hot pot?" Everyone looked suspicious.

"Yes. Chongqing hot pot is both spicy and spicy. It has a unique taste. I guarantee that you will want another meal after eating it." Wu Aihua thought of the Chongqing hot pot and Sichuan hot pot all over the country in later generations. They are really gourmet. Unfortunately, in this era Hot pot is still synonymous with low-end diet.

The logistics department of the national defense force gathers chefs from all major cuisines in the country, including western food. Of course, these chefs do not serve Wu Aihua personally, but serve the entire national defense force, because the national defense force always receives guests from all over the country and from all over the world.

When everyone came to the restaurant, they immediately noticed the difference.In the middle of the table is a tumbling pot, which contains a lot of Chinese prickly ash and pepper, and of course various spices.Surrounding the pot are all kinds of dishes, and those near your seats are tableware such as cups, plates and dishes.

"Come on, everyone, let me teach you first. Put sesame oil, a little salt, monosodium glutamate, etc. in this small bowl. If you want to eat garlic or onion, you can put it yourself. Then, everyone, look at me and put a piece of vegetable on the chopsticks , put it in the pot until it is half-cooked or fully cooked, then roll it in the oil bowl, and then you can eat it.”

Wu Aihua demonstrated while talking, and put a piece of fish fillet into his mouth.

"It's so cool! It's been a long time!" Wu Aihua swallowed and said loudly.

"Oh, it's so spicy..." Naturally, some people are not used to the spicyness of this hot pot.

Fortunately, everyone belonged to one party. Although the food was not very authentic, they quickly felt that the hot pot was delicious.

"Commander-in-Chief, tell us how to fight the next battle." Air Force Commander Christopher Ulf was a foreigner, but he ate the most heartily, and even had to scald two slices of vegetables each time.

"Okay. I'll just talk about my thoughts." Wu Aihua saw that everyone had almost eaten, so he put down his chopsticks.

"Commander-in-Chief, please tell me." Lin Guozhang is a person who has received traditional education, and among the crowd, his etiquette is the best.

"Before I talk about the specific combat concept, I would like to ask you a question: Have you noticed the displaced people brought about by the war? How many people should be displaced when the war happens!"

"This..." Everyone didn't know what Wu Aihua meant. In all wars, no one would be displaced. Isn't it like this from ancient times to the present, regardless of China or foreign countries?

"You may not understand what I mean," Wu Aihua said with an apologetic smile, "Only one battle for the city in Shanghai produced 40 homeless people. With the Japanese invasion, this number will be in the millions. Tens of millions. I think our National Defense Forces should take the lead in taking in refugees and refugees. In addition, those who live in Jiangsu and Zhejiang and are about to leave their homeland, we also encourage them to take refuge in Fujian and Guangdong provinces temporarily."

"Commander-in-Chief, will this increase our burden?" Someone expressed concern.

"Even if the burden is heavy, we should bear it. The patriotism we talk about is not an abstract concept. It is implemented in specific actions. It means loving the land under our feet and loving the people on this land. As a patriotic A responsible military group should assume this responsibility when the country is in crisis. This is what makes us different from other warlords," Wu Aihua said.

"The commander-in-chief is well said! I personally decided to take out 100 million Huaxia coins to support this action of the National Defense Force." Li Jingyang of the 6th Army was the first to express his opinion.

"Mr. Li is indeed of a high style, thank you. However, the difficulty in this matter is not money and food, but how to bring refugees into Fujian and Guangdong, and how to resettle refugees after they enter the territory of the two provinces." Wu Aihua guided.

"We can advertise in newspapers in Shanghai, Nanjing, Hangzhou and other places, telling the refugees that the National Defense Forces unconditionally welcomes them to seek asylum in Fujian and Guangdong provinces, and that the National Defense Forces will provide them with the most basic living conditions." Jin Zhiyuan, head of the General Logistics Department, immediately Solved a technical problem.

"In my opinion, this matter should be communicated with the Guomin government, and if possible, please provide some convenience." Yu Hanmou, commander of the 4th Army, suggested.

The Cantonese army was merged into the National Defense Force. Yu Hanmou, Xiang Hanping, and Li Jingyang not only kept their positions, but now they have even stronger soldiers, so when they get along with the officers of the National Defense Force, they are not unfamiliar. The commander was even more admirable.Because, only after the three joined the National Defense Forces did they know the full strength of the National Defense Forces, and they also knew that if the Cantonese Army fought against it, the three armies might not be able to defeat the other two divisions.

"Commander-in-Chief, shouldn't we focus on taking in refugees?" Cheng Liang, director of the General Political Department, asked aloud.

"Director Cheng raised this question well. When we rescue refugees, we give priority to helping children and women; secondly, all kinds of intellectuals; thirdly, young adults." Wu Aihua recalled that in history, Chiang Kai-shek's wife Song Meiling once came from the enemy-occupied area Immediately after helping a group of teenagers and children.

"..." Everyone looked at each other in blank dismay, none of them understood why Wu Aihua made such an arrangement.

Wu Aihua had a panoramic view of everyone's performance, but he was not in the mood to slander the realm of these guys, but slowly said: "When wars happen, children and women are the group of people who need help the most; give priority to helping children and women, not only for the future of the nation, but also to test our conscience."
