The sky cleared up and the continuous rain finally stopped. Feeling the gentle breeze, Li Weidong's mood was as calm as ever.
In recent days, Li Weidong has been staying on the front line and did not pay attention to the news from the rear, because he knew that there must be a lot of trouble waiting for him. Before thinking about the French in Vietnam, Li Weidong knew that he would definitely face this day.
Nowadays, the international situation is changing, with the Entente and the Central Powers facing each other tit for tat, making the smell of gunpowder in the sky over Europe even stronger. Just when these two parties are gathering strength, the Vietnam War breaks out.
This timing is actually very clever. Now, whether it is the old empires Britain and France, or the revived Germany and Austria, these powerful countries have less control over the Far East of Asia than they did before.
As for the United States, the arms race among European countries has created a large number of jobs for the U.S. government in North America. Neither the people nor the government want a foreign war. And domestic consortiums in the United States are frantically making money from European arms profits.
Now they only focus on the cake of the international arms market and their own money bags, and are not concerned about the outbreak of war in Vietnam.
Li Weidong took this opportunity to attack Vietnam. He wanted to resolve the battle before other countries reacted. Even if he could not completely defeat the French, he must ensure the occupation of northern Vietnam. Otherwise, Li Weidong's next plan would not be able to continue to be implemented.
At this time, Adjutant Gao Xiang took a telegram and hurriedly came to Li Weidong and said: "Commander! Nanjing Telegram!!"
Hearing Gao Yi's words, Li Weidong's original good mood suddenly disappeared: "Nian!"
"Call from Nanjing: Today's international situation is changing rapidly, which has put the country in a critical moment. In the face of a national crisis, if you don't want to serve the country, but pick up border provocations, are you willing to be a traitor to the country?" This is already a question, which explains what Nanjing is saying.
I've lost my patience.
"General! This is already the fourth telegram sent from Nanjing. How do you think we should respond?"
Then Adjutant Gao Yi asked for instructions, but Li Weidong did not reply to the first three telegrams.
Li Weidong knew that if he continued to ignore Nanjing, it would definitely make it difficult for the Nanjing government to step down, and the Hainan Army was not suitable to break with the Nanjing government at this time. After all, the Nanjing government was in China's nominally orthodox state.
status.
As for the thoughts of the big bosses in the Nanjing government, Li Weidong knew with his toes what their plans were. They just wanted to take the opportunity to give Li Weidong a blow!
Now, if Hainan was not located at the southernmost tip of the Chinese mainland, it was already high in the mountains and far away from the emperor, making it easy to defend and difficult to attack. The Japanese army's crazy offensive in the north was holding them back, and because most of Nanjing's military forces were now committed to the northern battlefield, otherwise they would definitely have tried their best to defeat them.
Swallow the entire Hainan Army.
Li Weidong knows very well that our Chairman Chiang has always coveted the mysterious underground arsenal in Hainan. He will definitely not miss this rare opportunity to rip off Li Weidong.
It seems that they have to spend some money to satisfy their appetite! Thinking about it, Li Weidong shook his head helplessly and sighed in his heart. As long as Nanjing's demands are not excessive, Li Weidong will agree. This is not
He had no choice but to do it, but Li Weidong, as a Chinese, gave his best support to the northern peoples in their war of resistance.
Li Weidong was also worried about the war situation in the north. Although Li Weidong and the Nanjing government were at odds with each other, they were still consistent in their national resistance to aggression. Among the various forces in China currently fighting against aggression, the most important one is
The Nanjing government is concerned, which is why Li Weidong has been half-selling and half-giving arms to the Nanjing government. Li Weidong will not disregard the country and the nation for his own personal gain.
"Call back!" Li Weidong said after a long silence. Gao Yi immediately took out the pen and paper he carried with him and prepared to take notes.
After seeing Gao Yi getting ready, Li Weidong continued: "A message to Mr. Jiang: During the three-month war of resistance, Mr. Jiang led the entire nation in an unprecedented and great anti-aggression war. All citizens of the country admire him, and Li also deeply admires him.
Although the stubborn enemy has not yet defeated its fierce front, the initial foundation for victory has been laid, and the future is bright and the hope is endless.
The current anti-Japanese war situation across the country is grim, and our side is in decline. However, the Japanese pirates' wolfish ambition to destroy China is still alive. We must fight with all our might, be loyal to our country, and fight to the end against the stubborn pirates.
At a time when the survival of the party and the country was in critical condition, Lee had no choice but to lead his troops into Vietnam. The Japanese army was determined to trap our Hainan Army, and the road for our aid supplies to reach Nanjing was blocked. Lee was like a tiger falling on the plains, and was forced to have no choice.
Only then did he come up with this strategy, hoping that Jiang Gong Haihan would do it.
However, during this period, the enemy will take advantage of the war in Vietnam and the weakness of our people who are good at internal fighting to launch various sabotage plots that are not conducive to the unity and unity of our country.
Here, Li believes that we should unite as one, persist in waging a protracted war against the enemy, mobilize new forces, overcome difficulties, and work hard for the rise and fall of the country and nation.
During this period, the unity and unity of the country were more important than at any other time. Under the unified leadership of Chiang Kai-shek, China strictly guarded against and defeated the enemy's sabotage plots, purged the people's pessimism, improved national consciousness and confidence in victory, and implemented new policies.
necessary wartime policies during this stage.
Li should put the interests of the country and the nation first and fully support the just war against aggression. Now he is donating 500,000 military expenditures to support it. However, since the people of Hainan are poor, Li should pay for it with supplies.
If the country is destroyed, how can the family survive? Although the enemy invaders are fierce and stubborn, they will eventually fail. The Chinese nation, with its 450 million people, will eventually be able to overcome difficulties in a long and arduous struggle, drive out the stubborn invaders, and make itself strong in the world.
East Asia.
With this intention and ambition, I know that Duke Jiang must feel the same way. I am just making assumptions here."
Nanjing, Presidential Palace.
After reading this letter from Li Weidong to him, Chiang Kai-shek fell into silence, constantly weighing the gains and losses in his heart.
From the beginning, he didn't think that Li Weidong would easily accept his conditions, or at least it would take a long time. But he really didn't expect that Li Weidong would agree so readily.
The letter stated that the gift was not cash, but support for military supplies, but this satisfied Chiang Kai-shek. From the first Battle of Songhu, Li Weidong had supported hundreds of aircraft to the present, and he and Li Weidong had had many transactions overtly or covertly.
There is a tacit understanding in their hearts.
How can he not know what the situation is like within the Kuomintang today? If it is cash, every time it passes through the hands of his subordinates, some will become greedy and very few will reach the bottom.
The troops of his direct line are better, at least not too much. But among the troops of other departments, they form cliques in private, shoddy logistics, and resell military supplies. Whenever they encounter a tough battle, each one runs away faster than the other.
quick.
With this batch of weapons and equipment, he can reorganize several infantry divisions with strong combat effectiveness.
"Ching-kuo! Inform the U.S. Ambassador to China that I want to have dinner with him!" After thinking for a while, Chiang Kai-shek ordered his son Chiang Ching-kuo.
"Father! What are your plans?" Jiang Jingguo was very puzzled.
"Jingguo! No matter where we are, we Chinese are all descendants of our ancestors and have the same blood flowing in our bodies!"
