"I am here, thanking my father-in-law for saving you." Zhang Tianhai stood up and bowed sincerely to Zheng Boqu.

Zheng Boqu raised his hand and pressed it down, saying meaningfully: "There is no need to be too polite to be a virtuous son-in-law. They are all family members, let alone too many. After all, we are also watching over each other."

Although Zhang Tianhai has a certain political awareness, he still has some understanding of the words of his father-in-law. I don’t know if these big names have such profound words.

So profound that it's a bit incomprehensible...

"I understand." Zhang Tianhai responded casually.

"Let's have a family dinner tonight! Call the boss home for dinner." Zheng Boqu said lightly to the old housekeeper beside him, but there was no room for rejection in his words.

This is the tone of command.

This is the kind of masters from the feudal period who were in the true sense, and no one dared to obey them at home.

"Yes, lord." The old butler responded and went to shake the phone.

"My two sons, I guess Xiaoman has told you, right?" Zheng Boqu said to Zhang Tianhai.

"Father-in-law, Xiaoman has never told me about this, but just said roughly that she is also from Wuhan." Zhang Tianhai did not brag about this, but every word of truth is true.

Zheng Boqu thought for a while and said, "Then I will tell you briefly! My eldest son is Zheng Yuyang, who works in the Wuhan Security Command, with the rank of colonel; his second son is Zheng Yuming, who works in the Wuhan Municipal Government; there is no need to say Xiaoman. Our family is just a few people."

It is concise and clear, and in just a few words, the current situation of the Zheng family is clearly described.

At the same time, Zhang Tianhai also knew that the rank of colonel of the Wuhan Garrison Command was not the chief of staff, but the official position was close.

The most important thing is that the Security Command is not in charge of the military police? Theoretically, Zhang Tianhai’s First Guard Regiment of the Ninth War Zone is within the jurisdiction of the Security Command.

As for how the second son of the Zheng family performed in the government, Zhang Tianhai did not pay much attention. With an old immortal like Zheng Boqu here, what losses can he suffer? Most of the time he will take the lead soon.

In general, these people from the Zheng family are all among the people, and are definitely not simple characters.

Indeed, in comparison, the people from the Zhang family seem much more mediocre.

A noble and prominent family often represents power. Since they have power, they are inevitably busy in their work and career, and they often ignore some things, such as the concern of relatives is a little lacking compared to other families.

Especially for young children like Zheng Man who lost their mothers, they attach great importance to the warmth of the family, otherwise she would not have lived in the Zhang family forever and was not particularly nostalgic for the Zheng family.

For Zheng Boqu, his love for his younger daughter is just love. The only ones he really cares about are the two children, the eldest, Zheng Yuyang and the second, Zheng Yuming. After all, these two are the pillars of the Zheng family in the future.

"Then the Zheng family will add the name of the son-in-law to the family. Whenever my father-in-law has anything to do in the future, as long as you speak, the son-in-law will never refuse." Zhang Tianhai said with a smile, but there was no excuse in his words.

...

Throughout the afternoon, the two father-in-law and son-in-law talked a lot, perhaps because they were both in the domestic political environment, and they also talked a lot about the current situation.

"Yulin... With your military insight, how do you view the issue of defending Wuhan? What is our chance of winning?" Zheng Boqu looked at Zhang Tianhai.

Perhaps because of knowing the truth of history, Zhang Tianhai shook and said, "Our army has no chance of winning. Defending Great Wuhan is only one of the long-lasting anti-Japanese wars. We must rely on this great war to protect Great Wuhan to consume the Japanese army's spirit and the Japanese soldiers. Only in this way can we achieve the final victory."

After listening to Zhang Tianhai's words, Zheng Boqu fell into a moment of thought. After a long time, he spoke: "Our army has no chance of winning, how can we see?"

"The Japanese invaders' selflessness has always been centered on Wuhan. Wuhan is the key area of ​​our country. As long as Wuhan defends it, our army can be connected to the front line. What's more, this is the main center of our country's politics, transportation and economy. As long as they conquer this place, we have no choice but to retreat to Chongqing." Zhang Tianhai said in a deep voice. After all, if this place is lost, it will really face many disadvantages.

"Indeed, the Japanese army is armed and armed, and they want to destroy our Republic of China as soon as possible. However, the front line has been closer to this point. I believe the Japanese invaders' logistics line is also quite tight, right?" Zheng Boqu said a topic that seems irrelevant but is actually related.

"Whether their rear is tight, the son-in-law believes that it has nothing to do with whether they can defend Wuhan. This is just about the Japanese army's future battle. Now the Japanese army's combat direction is still Wuhan, and even if their logistics are tight, they will not be unable to stand for a few months." Zhang Tianhai analyzed.

Before Zheng Boqu could continue to say, Zhang Tianhai continued: "With the continuous battle with our army, the Japanese invaders have lost a large number of elite troops. The elite troops such as the Fifth Division, the Tenth Division, and the Fourteenth Division have all been severely damaged by our army to varying degrees, but in the final analysis, their country has not been injured, and they are just in a tight situation."

"They have at least 400,000 elite troops capable of mobile combat in our territory! If our army can exhaust their 400,000 elite troops, our army and the Japanese invaders will be in a real stalemate on the battlefield." Zhang Tianhai said firmly, speaking loudly.

"Four hundred thousand..." Zheng Boqu murmured, his deep frowning showed that he knew the strength of the Japanese army very well.

It is also true that a Japanese army can chase a division of the national army.

The Japanese army's combat power is undeniable.

If the Japanese army had such poor combat effectiveness, then the War of Resistance would not have been fought for fourteen years, and the full War of Resistance would have ended for eight years.

"As far as I know, your army is now the essence of our army. If your army arrives on the battlefield, how will it compare with the Japanese army's combat power?" Zheng Boqu asked.

"If you say that if your son-in-law's army comes to the army and directly beat a division of the Japanese army, will your father-in-law believe it?" Zhang Tianhai said seriously.

"Of course I don't believe it. Do you really think I am a military layman?" Zheng Boqu glared at Zhang Tianhai.

"Uh... since that's the case, let me tell the truth! The son-in-law's army was seriously injured on the front line and has not yet recovered its vitality. If we were in its previous state of prosperity and then tied up the current number of troops and trained with the Japanese invaders alone, it would be no problem for our regiment to deal with a Japanese regiment. If we were against a brigade of the Japanese army, we would probably have the will but lack the strength." Zhang Tianhai said truthfully.

Indeed, he was not confident enough to fight against the Japanese brigade level alone. As for the brigade level, he was still confident to defeat it.

The Japanese army's brigade level is not as simple as strengthening its strength. There are also various brigades directly under the army, and the number of troops increased, so in terms of firepower configuration, it is naturally much stronger than the First Regiment of the Ninth War Zone.

Let’s not talk about anything else, just compare the Sakamoto Brigade during the Battle of Xuzhou. If Pang Bingxun’s 40th Army consumed their troops and had the strong support of Zhang Zizhong’s 59th Army, just rely on his Zhang Tianhai’s 3rd War Zone’s First Regiment? Isn’t it as easy to beat him like a dog?

The Japanese army's individual combat power is already stronger than the national army's individual combat power, not to mention that there are many aircraft and cannons support, which is not as simple as one plus one equals two!

The strengthening of these troops seems to be like a tiger with wings when leading the Japanese front-line troops!
