Hearing him mention the war, Marshal Zhang returned to reality and looked worried. He leaned on his seat and sighed angrily: "This battle is not easy to fight. Military discipline is not strict. Everyone wants to preserve their strength. I am worried that once the decisive battle happens, what will happen?" We were defeated one by one by the Japanese army. Originally, this was nothing. However, if the Jewish troops went deep in and suffered heavy losses due to our fault, how do you want me to explain to Ouyang Yun that the cadet soldiers had criticized us and thought that we did not sincerely surrender? , this was originally an opportunity for us to prove our innocence, but now look at..." He shook his head bitterly when he said this, with a look of helplessness on his face. Suddenly, he turned to look at Wang Zhuoran and said sincerely: "Zhuoran, do you have anything to teach me?"
At this time, Wang Zhuoran was discerning the authenticity of his words in his heart. In the end, he chose to believe it. After all, in the previous Xi'an Incident, their only friendship had been tested. However, how should he word it to achieve his goals? As for the purpose, he didn't want to make things self-defeating, so he thought about it carefully before saying: "Brother Hanqing, what you said to me some time ago, are you really considering it?"
After Shaoshuai Zhang made the decision to change his flag, he only had in-depth discussions with Wang Zhuoran and other staff who were both teachers and friends. After that, he told Wang Zhuoran and others more than once that his choice was correct, and that Ouyang Yunhe and Xuexue Bingjun deserves to be entrusted with his father's career. Hearing him suddenly ask this, Marshal Zhang was startled for a moment, and then smiled bitterly: "Why, do you think I was telling you something against my will? Zhuoran, we have known each other for so many years, when have I ever cheated?" you."
Wang Zhuoran smiled apologetically and said, "This is a serious matter, so I don't dare to give any random ideas."
Wang Zhuoran was truly apologetic. Regardless of his starting point, this was his betrayal of Shaoshuai Zhang. But Shaoshuai Zhang only paid attention to another layer of meaning and asked: "You have an idea, tell me quickly."
Wang Zhuoran said cautiously: "I have two plans. One, if you are really willing to succumb to your current status and position, then deal with the matter severely, even if it causes a big commotion. With all due respect, with the current situation of the army, In this state, there is no possibility of winning this war. Secondly, if Yi Zhi is only determined by interests, then the thunder will be loud and the rain will be light, and two more people can be arrested and sent to Guangzhou, but Liu Guiwu will be comforted instead. I heard that Jiao Zhenghai, who was shot to death by Commander Yu, was the only younger brother of Liu Guiwu's most beloved third concubine."
This is the cleverness of Wang Zhuoran. Although he gave suggestions, he still left the final decision in the hands of Zhang Shaoshuai. In this way, no matter what decision Zhang made, at least he would not doubt his intentions when he regretted it afterwards. unpredictable,
Marshal Zhang frowned and looked out the window. After a while, he turned to look at him and said, "Isn't there a third way to deal with it?"
After twenty years of acquaintance, Wang Zhuoran knew his personality too well. Zhang did not like to take drastic measures unless he had to. Obviously, he was not satisfied with the second method of handling. Wang Zhuoran knew that it would be useless to talk more at this time, so he just He shook his head regretfully,
"You have also seen the current situation in China. The Japanese army launched the 'Operation Qinling', which can be described as a surprise. Regardless of whether the Central Army can withstand this attack by the Japanese army, one thing is certain is that they have actually withdrawn from the final decisive battle. I This is by no means an alarmist statement. Compared with the Xuebing Army, although the Central Army still has some capable troops, most of them, including their top brass, are rotten to the core. The Japanese Army's "Operation Qinling" also dealt a huge blow to the GCD Army. Without the base area of Yan'an, the GCD Army has actually become a rootless force. The current rear area is no better than before. Too many Central Army troops have poured in, making it impossible for them to perform the feats of the previous Long March. So, China still has If you want to win this war, you can only rely on the Xuebing Army. When our Northeastern Army was at its strongest, we had all three armies including the sea, land and air force, but we all relied on foreign countries for the replenishment of weapons and equipment. Therefore, it is actually different from the current Xuebing Army. It is incomparable. Regardless of the military, the hidden strength of the Xuebing Army and the people is the real reason why I am optimistic about the Xuebing Army. If the people are prosperous, the country will be strong. This is the basis for the Xuebing Army to grow. I, Zhang Xueliang, have become I was a national sinner once, and I don’t want to be a second time. The reason why my father was assassinated by the Japanese was because he was not willing to be a lackey of the Japanese. There is hatred between the country and the Japanese, and there are only two kinds of hatred between me and them. Maybe, it’s either me who dies or someone else who dies. As long as I can defeat the Japanese, I won’t hesitate to make any sacrifices.” Marshal Zhang said with a look in his eyes.
His words meant self-analysis. Wang Zhuoran expressed his understanding. After all, the Northeastern Army was Marshal Zhang’s hard work. His move was tantamount to betrayal of his father. It must be very difficult to make this decision. Hearing his words The strong smell of blood behind his words made Wang Zhuoran fully aware of his intentions. He said with emotion: "General, then let's take the first option, all in order to defeat the Japanese."
Marshal Zhang looked at him, gritted his teeth and said, "Okay, let's do it like this."
Liu Guiwu's division headquarters is located not far from the scene of the incident, and Marshal Zhang has rushed over from the general headquarters that is far away. It is naturally impossible for him to not notice it if he is close to the water. If it is just an ordinary disturbing incident, although the plot is relatively complicated Violence, rape, murder, any one of them in peacetime is enough to sentence the perpetrator to death, but now is the war time, so Liu Guiwu doesn't think there is anything to make a fuss about. In his mind, the brothers have worked hard to fight the Japanese. Yes, it is perfectly fine to have some fun with the common people. This can also relieve the hostility in the hearts of the brothers and is good for the growth of the army. However, this matter has involved Yu Xuezhong, who has been even more punished for it. He was seriously injured, this matter was not a trivial matter. This had already annoyed him enough, but because the Major Jiao Zhenghai who caused the huge disaster was the only younger brother of his most beloved third concubine, and the third concubine loved this brother more than any other. His life would definitely be in trouble because of this, and his brain would hurt.
Liu Guiwu's initial decision was to first explore the extent of Yu Xuezhong's injuries, and then decide whether to apologize in person or find Liu Duoquan to solve the problem. In his mind, Jiao Zhenghai was already dead, and as long as Yu Xuezhong didn't As for the serious injury and death, it was an easy explanation. However, when he asked his subordinates to inquire about Yu Xuezhong's injury, one of his subordinates told him that the Commander-in-Chief had arrived at the scene, and his expression was quite unkind, so he became frightened. , realizing that this might be the biggest crisis since joining the army, he suddenly became hesitant,
Upon seeing this, Ma Huashan, Liu Guiwu's chief of staff, suggested: "Master, I'd rather ask Commander He to come forward. The commander-in-chief has been strictly enforcing military discipline during this period. It's hard to predict what he will do in the limelight." Whichever one decides."
