Chapter 746: An Incident in Nanchang
Lin Tianbao read it over and over again twice before carefully putting the equity transfer certificate into his briefcase.
"Boss, how much did you spend? I have to pay for this."
Chen Yang smiled and said, "This is my gift to you. I know Miss Ming has always been thinking about this spinning mill. Besides, compared to the money from the Jews, this is nothing."
"By the way, the goods in the warehouse are slowly being shipped out."
"These Jews want to set up a trap, so let's help them create the atmosphere."
"Don't let them notice anything."
Lin Tianbao nodded and said, "Don't worry, Boss, I know what to do."
"If there's nothing else, I'll leave first. There's still a lot of things to do in the company."
Chen Yang stood up and said, "I'll see you off."
Lin Tianbao waved his hands and said: "No, no, I can go by myself..."
After seeing Lin Tianbao off, Chen Yang sat in the chair and was worried about the crude oil issue again.
Under the current circumstances, there will definitely not be enough oil. If we wait for the goods from the East China Refinery, we might as well spend money to buy it.
The question is, who to buy the oil from?
Americans? Germans? British? Soviets?
For a moment, Chen Yang had a headache. He couldn't just point fingers at Bingbing and call whoever he pointed at...
I was having a headache when suddenly, the phone rang.
Chen Yang picked up the phone and heard the voice of Abe Mitsuhiro, Chief of Staff of the Chinese Expeditionary Force Headquarters.
"Mr. Chen, please come to the Expeditionary Force Headquarters now. There is an important meeting."
Chen Yang was stunned. The situation in various parts of China is stable now, and there is no sign of launching a war.
It was said before that we would attack Zhongtiao Mountain, but Commander Tada was really a waste. An army of 100,000 encircled and suppressed the Red Army in North China, and there were frequent reports of victory in the first two months.
Starting from December, the news that came back was basically about battle damage, defeat, or barely won victories.
A dignified imperial lieutenant general was beaten into this state. Even Commander Ishihara in the Northeast could not stand it and wrote several letters requesting the replacement of the commander of the North China.
Why are they suddenly calling him to a meeting at this time? Could it be that they are planning to let Commander Tada storm Zhongtiao Mountain?
Chen Yang gathered the documents on the table and said to He Yuehua outside, "Secretary He, please prepare a vehicle for me. I need to go to the Expeditionary Force Headquarters."
Shanghai, Chinese Expeditionary Force Headquarters.
Chen Yang came to the conference room on the third floor with ease. A small conference room was used today and there were only a dozen people attending.
However, the lineup is quite luxurious, including two division commanders, Lieutenant General Saho, Major General Takada, commander of the Independent Mixed Brigade, Colonel Sakai of the War Command Department, and Mitsuhiro Abe of the General Staff.
Seeing Chen Yang come in, Abe Mitsuhiro walked up to him, greeted him, and took him to the seat next to him.
The rest of the people didn't think there was anything unusual when they saw this scene. After all, Staff Officer Abe of the Expeditionary Force Command had always had a good relationship with Minister Chen of the Joint Transport Department.
Everyone sat in the office and waited for about ten minutes. Suddenly, there was the sound of boots outside, and then the service officer shouted, "Stand at attention."
Everyone stood up immediately, looking down, and Commander Nishio and Director Nakanishi of the expeditionary force headquarters walked into the office one after another.
"Sit down." The orderly shouted.
Commander Nishio sat at the head of the group and said, "Everyone, we have received news from the 34th Division stationed in Nanchang."
"On the 23rd of this month, Luo Zhuoying's troops from the Third War Zone launched a night attack on the outskirts of Nanchang, resulting in the deaths of more than 1,300 imperial soldiers."
"The commander of the 34th Division's Matsui Regiment, Kotaro Wada, was unfortunately hit by a stray bullet during the retreat and died instantly."
"As for the Imperial Army, according to the battle report sent by the other side after counting, the death toll has reached more than 103, among whom Major General Liu Kuan of the rd Division is missing."
"According to the military's inference, it is very likely that he has already pledged his loyalty to the Empire."
"This incident is quite serious. Headquarters has just issued the 'Guidelines for Rapid Resolution of the Huaxia Incident'."
"We haven't even launched an attack on the Chinese army yet, but they have already provoked us."
'This kind of thing, in my opinion, is absolutely intolerable. "
"Therefore, I command..."
With a "whoa" sound, everyone present stood up at the same time and looked forward.
"The 16th, 19th, and 22nd divisions of the dispatched army are respectively planning to blockade the southeastern coastal areas."
"Sao-kun, Takata-kun, your teams must start gathering for training from now on."
"Please ask Minister Chen to coordinate the replenishment of supplies. Once the armaments are completed as soon as possible, we will head to the Nanchang area."
Lieutenant General Saho frowned slightly and said, "Mr. Nishio, we have received orders to complete the integration before April and go to the North China battlefield to assist Commander Tada in attacking Zhongtiao Mountain."
"You want us to go to Nanchang now?"
Commander Nishio glanced at Lieutenant General Sawao and said coldly, "What do you want to say, Sawao-kun?"
"Reporting to His Excellency the Commander, I would like to know whether this action will affect our deployment."
Lieutenant General Zuo Bao said in a serious tone: "Military orders are as heavy as mountains. If we cannot reach North China within the specified time, then I will bear the main responsibility."
It is said that the army loves to play the game of inferiors overthrowing their superiors, and Chen Yang has really broadened his horizons today.
Mitsuru Saho was just a lieutenant general, yet he dared to publicly question General Nishio's arrangements at such an important meeting.
The difference in status between the two is not a little bit.
Mitsuru Saya was only the commander of the 33rd Division, while Commander Nishio was the supreme commander of the Chinese Expeditionary Force.
This person also talks back when he says he will talk back...
Commander Nishio's face instantly turned livid, and he said in a cold voice, "Saho-kun, I will report the arrangements for the transfer of the 33rd Division to headquarters."
"Your current mission is to cooperate with the 34th Division stationed in Nanchang to carry out the anti-counterrevolutionary mission..."
"It is imperative to eliminate the main force of the Ninth War Zone in a short period of time."
"Do you have any more questions?"
Lieutenant General Saho said solemnly: "Commander, I have no problem, but I need to receive the official order before I can prepare."
"Otherwise, our current mission is to provide reinforcements to North China."
Commander Nishio almost uttered a few words through his teeth: "Saho-kun, you will receive orders soon."
"The meeting is adjourned..."
After saying this, Commander Nishio left the meeting room with a grim face.
Everyone packed up their things and left. Chen Yang and Abe Mitsuhiro walked out of the office. Chen Yang couldn't help but say, "Abe-kun, why did General Saho react like this?"
"Is this his first day as commander? How dare he refute Lord Nishio's decision in public?"
