Chapter 800 Urgent Telegram from North China
Chapter 800 Urgent Telegram from North China
Shanghai, Chinese Expeditionary Force Headquarters.
Commander Nishio's office.
Mitsuhiro Abe reported all the details of his meeting with Chen Yang to Commander Nishio.
Commander Nishio couldn't help but shake his head repeatedly after hearing this, and the smile on his face was tinged with bitterness.
He had always been aware of the situation of the North China Front Army. How could he not know that Chen Yang was deliberately trying to deceive Commander Tada?
The problem was, he didn't like Commander Tada either.
When this guy was in power, he was so arrogant that he looked down on everyone. But now, all kinds of supplies are stuck in the Joint Transport Department, and he is at a loss as to what to do. So he thinks of asking his superiors to find a way to coordinate.
Somehow, Commander Nishio suddenly missed the rebellious Commander Tada.
Instead of being like the current commander-in-chief of the North China Front Army, Imperial General Tada, who is like a bullied little wife.
The official position has become higher, so why is it that he is worse than before?
Commander Nishio stood up and asked, "Mr. Abe, regarding the supply of materials on the battlefield in North China, do you think there are any problems with the transportation details handed over by Minister Chen?"
"In other words, do you think the issues these people are complaining about are valid?"
Abe Mitsuhiro pondered for a moment and said in a deep voice: "If we put aside personal feelings, my personal opinion is that everything Minister Chen did is indeed reasonable and legal."
"Documents issued by the Ministry of the Army repeatedly emphasize the need to control the consumption of supplies on the Chinese battlefield."
"The local economy is in a continuous decline, and various resources are in a state of deficit even if they are used on the battlefield in China."
"Based on Mr. Chen's performance, you really can't find any fault with his operation."
"Moreover, part of our supplies now come from the mainland, and part come from supplies from factories in the northeast."
"Mr. Chen has a very good relationship with the Mantetsu Railway. It is his request that President Omura can meet quickly."
"Only his network can achieve efficient supply of materials."
Commander Nishio looked at Abe Mitsuhiro meaningfully and said, "It's said that one should put personal feelings aside, but you haven't put them aside much."
He is biased towards the other party in both his words and deeds.
"Abe-kun and Chen-san are really close friends. They are willing to speak up for him like this..."
Abe Mitsuhiro quickly said, "Mr. Nishio, what you said is biased. Everything I said is true..."
"Alright, I know Abe-kun's loyalty and sincerity to the empire."
"I will leave the affairs of North China to your General Staff."
"For those complaint letters sent to us, as well as some sent to our home country, please write some defense reports and give a detailed report on the allocation of materials."
“I believe the local side can accept such an explanation.”
Abe Mitsuhiro nodded and said, "I understand. I will take care of it."
Knock, knock, knock. There was a crisp knock on the door and Commander Nishio's secretary Tomoda Makoto walked quickly into the office.
"Commander, we have an urgent message from North China."
"Commander Tada plans to take advantage of the 33rd Division's arrival in North China to gather his four divisions and three mixed brigades to launch an attack on Zhongtiao Mountain."
"This is the plan he submitted. Please take a look."
It is true that you can't talk about people during the day and you can't talk about ghosts at night. Whatever you say will come true.
Commander Nishio took the message and read it carefully. After thinking for a while, Commander Nishio said in a deep voice: "Mr. Tomoda, please ask Major General Mizukawa to come over. I want to listen carefully to Major General Mizukawa's war command department's opinion on this plan."
"Hi." Tomoda Makoto bowed respectfully and walked out of the office quickly.
"Mr. Nishio, if there is nothing else, I will go back first." Abe Mitsuhiro said respectfully.
"Well, Abe-kun, you've worked hard, go back now." Commander Nishio said in a gentle voice: "By the way, you still have to pay special attention to Chen-san."
"I know that rules and regulations are difficult to violate, but I ask him to cooperate with Commander Tada as much as possible without violating the principles."
"The situation in the North China battlefield is now favorable to the Empire. We can take advantage of this opportunity to expand our victory and completely eliminate the hostile forces in the North China battlefield."
"For the future of the empire, he sometimes has to make some sacrifices."
Asking Chen Yang to make sacrifices would be a bit too difficult.
He is not the kind of person who is willing to suffer losses.
Of course, Mitsuhiro Abe was just complaining in his heart, but he still agreed obediently.
Shancheng, Hunan Guild Hall, Military Control Commission Office.
Zheng Jiemin rushed into Boss Dai's office with the intelligence.
In the office, Boss Dai was calling Deputy Director Yang of the Military Affairs Office.
The content is still about Zheng Jiemin.
Zheng Jiemin used to be the director of the Military Control Commission Secretariat. Later he was promoted along the line of God of Wealth and is now a major general.
Two years ago, Zheng Jiemin was transferred to the Second Department of the Military Affairs Bureau as deputy director.
His immediate superior was Yang Jie, Deputy Chief of the Military General Staff.
Originally, the people who replaced him were Mao Feng and Mao Qiwu.
Now, due to the need for intelligence work, Mao Feng was sent to Changsha on business. The purpose was to deal with the 76th Falcon Group lurking in Changsha City and the Red Sun Group of the Chinese Expeditionary Force's Special Service Department.
The work of the secretariat is very important, and it is definitely not as reliable to temporarily hire newcomers as it is to hire experienced people.
Therefore, Boss Dai thought of asking Yang Jie to release Zheng Jiemin and transfer him back to deal with the emergency.
Seeing Zheng Jiemin coming in, Boss Dai exchanged a few words with Deputy Director Yang and then hung up the phone.
"Yaoquan, why do you look so grim? What happened?"
Zheng Jiemin took a breath, handed over the message from the God of Wealth and said, "Director, the God of Wealth sent a message."
"In North China, Tada Shun has assembled the 33rd Division, the 39th Division, the 40th Division, the 41st Division, three mixed brigades, and the rd Battalion of the Japanese Air Force Group, with a total of hundreds of thousands of troops. They will soon launch a military operation against Zhongtiao Mountain."
"He is not yet aware of the specific battle plan, but the Chinese Expeditionary Force Headquarters has issued a clear official letter, requiring Caishen to cooperate with the frontline troops in supplying materials."
"At this time, the front line still needs veterans like Commander Wei to take charge. Do you want to talk to your superiors about this?"
Boss Dai took the telegram and read it for a few seconds. He looked a little hesitant and said, "Yaoquan, I told you that Commander Wei's problem is very complicated. We can't explain it in just one or two sentences."
"I think we should follow the rules and hand the intelligence over to Minister He for decision. You have to know that Minister He is the one in charge of the defense of Zhongtiao Mountain now."
"He," Zheng Jiemin said worriedly, "Director, I'm not trying to throw cold water on you, but do you really think that Minister He is more suitable than Commander Wei for the Zhongtiao Mountain issue?"
