"Everyone, what is the responsibility of the Middle East Expeditionary Force? The purpose of the Middle East Expeditionary Force's expedition to North Africa is to help the French Zionist Army to restore its country. Has the French Zionist Army successfully restored its country? No, the French Ambassador to China has repeatedly asked us Asking for help, I hope we can fulfill our original promise. I think that the Middle East Expeditionary Force has rested long enough and should make some achievements now. This will also help our country maintain its leadership position in the United Nations. I personally feel that this is better than in the United Nations. It is much more important for South America to disrupt the U.S. backyard. As long as our leadership position is secure, South American countries will naturally follow my lead. Even if the United States really stirs up internal strife in Brazil, we can also unite with South American countries to provide support to the current Brazilian government. support……"
After Chen Cheng finished speaking, he did not get the expected response. Everyone, including several people from the GMD department, looked at him calmly or with strange eyes. Faced with such eyes, Chen Cheng immediately knew that he was on the wrong side.
It is true that France is China's most important ally in Europe and even the world, and France's war of restoration is indeed very difficult, but it is not as he said that it cannot be fought without the Middle East Expeditionary Force. In fact , the fundamental reason why the Middle East Expeditionary Force has been stationed in Egypt for a long time is because the French, no, the Europeans do not want the Chinese army to enter Europe.
In terms of regional unity, Europeans are definitely better than people from other continents. For example, at first, Ouyang Yun did not want the Middle East Expeditionary Force to go to Europe because of the interests of North Africa and the Middle East so as not to affect the country's layout in the Middle East. Later, , it is the Europeans who have reached a consensus on the issue of the Chinese military’s entry into the EU, and they refuse the Chinese military’s entry into the EU on the obvious excuse of another possible “rebellion”.
At that time, Ouyang Yun was gnashing his teeth for a long time over the word "**", and Ang Bosi also sent a telegram to explain the matter.
The Supreme Command considered that Europe was in chaos at this time and the situation was not clear. It was very likely that you would not be able to get out if you went in. The gains would definitely outweigh the losses. Also, because the US military had suffered successive defeats in Australia, it might need support from the Chinese army at any time, so it ordered the Middle East Expeditionary Force. Rest in Egypt and wait for the situation to change.
Now it seems that this arrangement is definitely a clever move. It is precisely because the Middle East Expeditionary Force is stationed in North Africa that it ensures the efficiency and safety of the evacuation operation, and it effectively deters some people with ulterior motives in North Africa and the Middle East. power.
The evacuation operation was being carried out in full swing, and the Middle East Expeditionary Force was in need of cooperation and military deterrence. At this time, Chen Cheng actually proposed an expedition to Europe simply to oppose Deng Xihou. To put it bluntly, it was simply "drunk in the brain."
Where is Chen Cheng's identity? Even if everyone thinks that he is "out of his mind", no one will actually say it. Ouyang Yun frowned slightly, and a piece of information about him that he just received yesterday came to mind. , curled his lips and said: "Vice-General Chen, at this stage, the evacuation of overseas Chinese is the top priority of the country. Therefore, the Middle East Expeditionary Force should not pay attention to matters that have nothing to do with the evacuation of overseas Chinese. Everyone, I think Deputy Chief of Staff Deng's suggestion is very Okay, it's very feasible. If you don't have any better constructive ideas, then we will follow his method."
It was not the first time for Chen Cheng that his opinions were directly shot or ignored by Ouyang Yun on such occasions, but it was the first time in recent times. He turned to look at the other generals or senior officials in GMD. , seeing that they all avoided looking at him, his face couldn't help but become gloomy, his Adam's apple moved twice, and he forcibly swallowed the words that came to his mouth.
"I'll bear it. I'll settle the score with you after Ouyang Yun leaves." He thought to himself, and then he couldn't help but start thinking about the meeting with Yang Puliang.
The meeting between Chen Cheng and Yang Puliang was very secretive. Of course, this was only due to their acquaintance. Because of their aloof status, Chen Cheng directly asked Yang Puliang if he was willing to serve him, and said that Ouyang Yun would leave the central government sooner or later. And when the time comes, he will definitely reward Yang Puliang ten times or even a hundred times.
Ouyang Yun has said in public more than once that he will withdraw from the political circle after the victory of the Anti-Japanese War. Since he has never broken his promise in public so far, not only Chen Chengxin believed it to be true, but even Yang Puliang did not have any doubts.
As the current second-in-command of the Supreme Command, the credibility of what Chen Cheng said is still very high. Yang Puliang is a person who puts interests first, so he immediately expressed his stance without hesitation, decided to be loyal to Chen Cheng, and was willing to immediately start awakening the underground At the same time, in order to further demonstrate his value to Chen Cheng, he revealed all the news about his successful connection with Kong Lingyi, and made suggestions that at this stage, Lao Jiang could come forward to fight Ouyang Yun to cover Chen Cheng's secret gathering of forces. .
Politically, Yang Puliang is not a mediocre person, so after seeing Ouyang Yun, the Chinese National Unity Party will be the biggest enemy of Chen Cheng and GMD. He believes that if Chen Cheng really wants to aspire to the top, he should start attacking the Chinese National Unity Party from now on.
Yang Puliang showed extraordinary talent in politics, which was an unexpected surprise for Chen Cheng. Precisely because he adopted Yang Puliang's suggestions, he began to show his presence and began to clearly target the Chinese National Unity Party and even Ouyang Yun.
In Yang Puliang’s words: “Sir, as the current de facto leader of the GMD and the Central Department, you must at least let the people below see hope, so from now on you should shine a bright banner. Only in this way can you inspire others. People’s confidence makes them feel that there is a future for them to follow you.”
Regardless of whether Yang Puliang's suggestion was correct or not, he had forgotten that the reason why Chen Cheng was able to win the honor of "Small Chairman" during the former central government period was partly due to his outstanding ability, but the most important reason was because he was able to win the title of "Small Chairman". Chiang's trust, to put it another way, is because he often represented Chiang Kai-shek, so he gained the respect of others.
Now, yes, after Chiang Kai-shek, he became the "boss" of GMD, but this is not the period when GMD was in power. Yes, he can fight for greater interests and more important positions for GMD people, but even if he achieves this , he still couldn't avoid the fact that all his decisions still required Ouyang Yun's consent.
Before Yang Puliang, no one gave Chen Cheng advice and thought that he should "step forward". However, the cautious Chen Cheng did not accept it. But this time, because he felt that the upcoming war of the new century might change the fate of the country, This would be a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for him, so he decided to adopt Yang Puliang's advice and live a high-profile life from now on.
