Chapter 205: Adjusting Tigers and Leaving the Mountains (Part 2)
Fang Zhibin was obviously very satisfied with Wu Ming's reception.
The status of the secret service in both military and political circles is not as high as Wu Ming imagined. After all, the banner of the "Military Command" has not been erected yet. Because the nature of the military supervision work is not favored by the generals in the military, there are many cases of cold eyes from the divisions. It is all because of Chiang Kai-shek's forced support from Huangpu students that he barely implemented.
But in the New Second Division, Fang Zhibin did not feel discrimination, which made him hope for the next step of work. Yesterday's itinerary made him feel unsatisfied. He was planning to go deep into the regiment battalions of the New Second Division from today to learn about this army that is well-known in the army, see where to start work, and form a political training organization as soon as possible.
He was invited today. Fang Zhibin originally thought that Wu Ming wanted to discuss the work arrangement with him, but he didn't expect to hear this unexpected request.
"It is precisely because Shanghai is extremely important to China that it attracts the covetousness of jackals... Brother Fang will not forget the Battle of Shanghai five years ago, right?"
When Wu Ming said this, he looked full of anger and suddenly pushed away the chair and stood up. He walked to the pavilion with his hands behind his back, enjoying the beautiful scenery of the first sunshine after the rain, smelling the fragrance of flowers floating in the direction of the garden, and said in a very sad tone:
"If there was no great change in Xi'an before the New Year, the war might have been delayed by one or two years, but as the Kuomintang and the Communist Party once again move towards cooperation, the Japanese army, which is worried that the Chinese people will awaken and unite, will definitely take the initiative first."
"I expect the war to start in the north in August and September this year at the latest. Once the Japanese offensive suffers setbacks, they will inevitably attack Shanghai, strive for cooperation in water and land, drive directly from the Yangtze River Estuary to Nanjing, and force the civil government to surrender. At that time, Shanghai will become the focus of the competition between China and Japan. As the second batch of reorganized divisions, our new Second Division has a great possibility to bring it to the front line... I will understand the terrain and landform of the Songhu area and how the Japanese deployed troops in Hongkou, Yangshupu and other places without any reason?"
Fang Zhibin was stunned and didn't say anything for a few minutes.
Wu Ming sat down before the coffee table, and looked at the military supervisor with a bright look: "Also, Brother Fang, you don't know that salt and rice are expensive if you don't take charge. Although the reorganization plan of the Central Military Commission has been completed, the weapons and equipment and military pay that should be added have not even seen the shadow. We must find a way to raise funds by ourselves..."
"It happened that our people discovered natural high-quality fluorite ore in the western mountains of Maoliangwu. I suspect that it was a high-quality mineral that had never been discovered before, so I wanted to go to Shanghai to hire excellent geological experts from Europe and the United States to go back and have a look... If the situation can be confirmed, it will be beneficial to the country, the nation and our new second division."
Although Fang Zhibin wanted to object to going to Shanghai, he could not say anything. Who doesn't know Wu Ming's reputation? It caused a sensation on Mount Lu, and even Chief Qian Dajun could not come to Taiwan. As a result, nothing happened and he didn't return to western Zhejiang to lead troops.
Fang Zhibin was very worried that Wu Ming would just take a chance to lose himself and his assistant after turning against each other. Who should I reason with that at that time? Therefore, hesitated for a long time before asking:
"What should I do about my work? According to the plan of the Central Military Commission and the Ministry of Military Affairs, the reorganized divisions of the Central Military Army must establish political training institutions at all levels within half a year. This will take at least half a month, and it will be too tight to complete the predetermined target."
"With my full help, I can't make any mistakes."
Wu Ming said with a smile: "Everyone will eat in the same pot in the future. What is ten days and half a month? The progress will be raised a little. The most important thing at the moment is to raise funds for the troops. If you have the food in your hands, you will not panic... In addition, when you go to Shanghai, we can also observe the defenses in eastern Zhejiang, discover safety hazards in time, and then sort them out and report to the above."
"Internal inspection is originally a matter of Brother Fang. Once the war between China and Japan begins as I expected, if Brother Fang can find the problem in advance, he will be favored by the chairman for his contribution to the report."
"this--"
Fang Zhibin hesitated for a moment: "Let me think about it... I leave the station without permission. If there is no complete reason, my boss will probably blame him."
Seeing that Fang Zhibin had not made up his mind yet, Wu Ming and Yu Qian wrote down the news: "I think this is the case. Today and tomorrow I will make some reasonable deductions on some possible changes between China and Japan, write an analysis report to you, and you will forward it to Director Dai Yunong to see what he will say.
"All right"
Seeing that Wu Ming's words had already reached this point, Fang Zhibin knew that he would not be able to gain a foothold in the New Second Division in the future, so he had to smile and nod.
"I felt a lot after I arrived in Changshan. I saw the vibrant appearance of the officers and soldiers of the New Second Division and the tenacious and hard training spirit. I also happened to write a report so that other brothers could benefit from it... I will hand it over to you at that time."
"But I still want to emphasize here that as long as the above does not answer our request in one day, I must faithfully perform my duties... Master, I want to go to the various regiment camps as soon as possible, especially the Fenghuang Mountain base. I heard that the training facilities there are better than Changshan Camp.
"no problem"
Wu Ming smiled without any ambiguity and said, "In the afternoon, I will accompany you to the direct engineering camp and take a look at the baggage camp. I think you will like our troops."
Fang Zhibin said goodbye and left. Sun Chengyuan turned out from behind the flower platform opposite the pavilion, walked into the pavilion in Wu Ming's eyes and asked:
"Brother, when it comes to friendship with all the big men in Shanghai, we are not inferior to the guy sent to monitor us... Zhu Wenhua had already joined forces with Huang Jinrong, and Li San's boss had already cooperated with Du Yuesheng's company to make money. Even my senior brother had a friendship with some old people from the Qing Gang, so why bother to get under this person's name?"
"What do you know?"
Wu Ming snorted: "It is a peaceful time. If these hidden threads are not used, they will not be moved, and others cannot connect them with us. They will play a big role in the future at critical moments. Moreover, this guy was sent by the superiors to monitor us. If we really establish a political training organization, we will be stared at every move, who can stand it?"
"So, the best way is to lure the tiger away from the mountain and let this grandson go to Shanghai with me. When we come back from Shanghai, we will find a way to hold him back. When the battle begins in July and August, what should this grandson do? Who is in the mood to pay attention to him? How about it, do you want to go to Shanghai?
Sun Chengyuan suddenly smiled: "Okay, OK, brother, I have wanted to go to Shanghai for a long time. I heard that Shanghai is known as the "Eastern Paris, known as the largest city in the Far East, and this time we must open our eyes."
"You, you really don't pursue it. You just go to Shanghai? Even if you are ten times more prosperous than this, what's the point of it..."
Wu Ming shook his head, returned to the room and talked to his wife and daughter for a while, making his daughter giggle. He heard Fang Zhichun talk about the preparations for moving to Mao Liangwu's residence, and gently gave a few words. Then he came to the horse house in the backyard to pull out his zebra, patted it up and rubbed the ugly horse's head intimately, turned over and went back to Changshan Camp to write a report.
