Chapter 581 The General is in Trouble
When Chen Yang saw the appointment letter in his hand, he was a little dazed for a moment.
I originally thought that I might have been defeated by Yamamoto Yoshisaburo, but suddenly, I found that I was the winner.
The mood swing from loss to ecstasy is really like riding a roller coaster.
Seeing Chen Yang's expression as he held the appointment letter, Ino Hisayuki and Abe Mitsuhiro did not disturb him any further.
At this time, they certainly knew that this good news should be shared with close people.
They just made an excuse that they had other things to do and left the office.
Chen Yang closed the office door and looked at the appointment letter in his hand.
This time, there is no way to wash yourself clean even if you jump into the Yellow River.
Minister of Transportation of China, if the war of resistance against Japan had been won, this would have been a crime punishable by the extermination of all nine generations of his clan.
I don’t know how his relatives in heaven would react when they knew he became the minister. They might even be unable to hold down the coffin.
Shanghai South Railway Station, Joint Transport Department Office.
"Clatter." Yoshisaburo Yamamoto swept all the documents on the table to the ground.
Together with the Chinese railway transportation model developed by Sato Masanobu and his group of mathematicians, which he had treasured like a treasure.
At this time, he smashed it into pieces like garbage.
"Mr. Yamamoto, calm down." Hisasaku Furukawa said, "It's not the end yet. We haven't lost yet."
"I haven't lost. I have nothing now. You tell me it's not the end yet. I haven't lost?"
Yamamoto Yoshisaburo laughed bitterly and said, "After the merger of the Joint Transportation Department, Chen Yang became the Minister, and I was just the transportation officer of the southern line."
"Do you understand? I am a transport officer, not a deputy minister. I am still under the command of Chen Yang."
"Even a section chief in the General Affairs Office can boss me around."
"Not only that, Ino Hisayuki of the Manchurian Railway has informed me that the Manchurian Railway will terminate its cooperation with me."
"Without the Manchuria Railway, our material development plan would be a blank sheet of paper."
"I have received so much support from the local community. My father gave me several million yen in funding, and I also took out a loan of 3 million yen."
"It's all thrown into this. Tell me, where is my chance?"
"To be frank, even if we still want to do the supplies business now, it all depends on Chen Yang's mood."
"If he doesn't want us to do it, we won't be able to transport a single grain of supplies out."
"For the sake of Huaxia's layout, I gambled everything. How can I repay the local funds and the three million loan from Huafu Fund?"
"Tell me, I haven't lost yet..."
At the end, Yamamoto Yoshisaburo's voice became louder and louder, and he became even more and more angry, almost hysterical...
Hisasaku Furukawa walked up and slapped Yamamoto Kichisaburo hard in the face.
With a slap, Yamamoto Yoshisaburo was stunned, and the slap instantly solidified his anxious mood.
"Yamamoto-kun, listen to me, we still have a chance."
"After the delivery of the batch of 305 howitzers, we can still redeem the equity pledged to Huafu Fund."
"Besides, we are not completely without anything. We still have a network."
"Those officials in the logistics department received so much money back and forth, and they are still useful."
Yamamoto Yoshisaburo's eyes lit up and he murmured, "Yes, I still have a net."
"They took so much money from me, now is the time to give some back to me."
When Hisasaku Furukawa saw that Yoshisaburo Yamamoto had regained his composure, he stepped forward and said, "Mr. Yamamoto, even if you cannot become the Minister of Transportation of the Chinese Union, you can still use your current network to accumulate strength."
"Chen Yang can't always have the upper hand. We must learn to be patient."
Yoshisaburo Yamamoto stood up silently, looked at Hisasaku Furukawa, and suddenly bowed to him.
"I'm sorry, Furukawa-kun, I disappointed you with my performance just now."
"You are right. We still have a chance. As long as China is still fighting, as long as we still have that network, we still have the capital."
"That's right," Furukawa Hisasaku said with a sigh of relief, "Your task now is to manage this network well and wait for the opportunity to counterattack."
Yamamoto Kichisaburo chuckled and said, "Don't worry, Furukawa-kun, I know what to do."
"There is a Chinese saying that goes, I would rather let the world down than let the world let me down."
"I've hit rock bottom. If they dare to play any tricks, I'll drag this net down with me."
The establishment of the Huaxia United Transportation Department is nothing special for ordinary people.
Many people will never have anything to do with this department in their entire lives.
The time came on June 1940, 5.
Three million Third Reich soldiers, under the cover of thousands of aircraft and tens of thousands of artillery pieces, began to cross the western border and launch an attack on Western European countries.
After the battle started, Army Group B led by von Bock quickly launched a fierce attack on the Netherlands and Belgium using Stuka dive bombers and mobile artillery.
At the same time, the German army's elite paratroopers also began airborne operations and quickly occupied airports and important strategic fortresses in Rotterdam and The Hague.
Under the powerful offensive of the Third Reich, the Netherlands surrendered in just four days.
Shortly after the surrender of the Netherlands, von Bock followed suit, using paratroopers and bombers to coordinate with each other and captured Belgium in one fell swoop.
At this time, Marshal Rundstedt, who was ambushed in the Ardennes Forest, led his troops through the Ardennes Forest and straight into the heart of France.
On the other side, Guderian also followed the Sickle Blitz plan, supported Field Marshal Rundstedt, and launched an attack on the British and French forces.
The fighting on the European battlefield was fierce, and the battlefield in Hubei was no less intense.
Since April, the Japanese invaders have assembled more than 100,000 people to launch a fierce offensive against Hubei.
In early May, the National Army suffered a series of defeats and lost numerous positions.
General Zhang of the 74nd Army was ordered to lead the th Division and the personal guard regiment to advance northward to reinforce the east coast front.
On the way, they successfully met up with Huang Weigang's troops of the 38th Division.
Immediately afterwards, General Zhang commanded the two divisions to continue attacking northward and gather the remnants.
After several days of efforts, General Zhang gradually established contact with the various divisions in Hedong and gradually began to control the situation.
When the Hedong soldiers learned that it was General Zhang who was in person at the front line, their morale was high and they fought more vigorously, almost completely cutting off the Japanese army's retreat.
But this also caused great anxiety among the Japanese invaders.
In order to prevent a counterattack by the National Army, the commander of the 13th Army, Sonobe Kazuichiro, ordered the 39th Division and the th Division to turn south.
They began to concentrate their forces to attack the remnants of the National Army led by General Zhang.
To make matters worse for General Zhang, the backup code book of the radio station they were using was leaked, and all the information was intercepted by the besieging Japanese army...
