King of Secret Service

He sent someone to bring Ito Chiba back.

And tell her about going north to fight.

"I don't know how long it will take to go north this time. Ms. Ito can decide whether to go or stay. If the lady decides to go back to Dongyang, Liang will prepare the travel expenses for you. If the lady decides to stay, Liang will make arrangements for the young lady. Life."

When Liang Xiao said this, he kept observing the changes in Ito Chiba's expression.

When he saw the difficult-to-decision expression on Ito Chiba's face, he knew that he had made the right bet. After spending time with him day and night, Ito Chiba was already tempted.

For a female agent, being tempted is the most dangerous thing, because it will affect her judgment on things.

That's why Liang Xiao ordered that if the war of resistance fails, all military personnel are not allowed to get married, and even internal personnel are not allowed to even talk about feelings.

"How long will it take you to go north this time?"

Ito Chiba asked with a complicated expression, she wanted to go back to Dongyang, but at the same time she didn't want to leave Liang Xiao, her heart was so entangled that it was difficult to make a decision.

"War is the most unpredictable thing. I don't know how long it will take. However, after going north this time, unless there is a big war in the Beijing-Shanghai-Hangzhou area, I won't come back easily."

Liang Xiao could only say this.

"What do you think of this campaign going north?"

Ito Chiba asked.

"Do your best and listen to the destiny."

Liang Xiao said.

"So, your Excellency is not sure about defeating the imperial army."

Ito Chiba Road.

"Whether... Liang can defeat the Japanese army in North China, this point, Liang is very confident, but he is not sure how long it will take."

Liang Xiao smiled confidently.

"If I decide to go back, what do you plan to do?"

Ito Chiba asked.

"If you go back to Dongyang, I will send someone to prepare for your travel expenses and send you on board."

Liang Xiao said.

"If I don't go back, don't stay in Shanghai, but go to North China with you, what will you do?"

Ito Chiba asked.

Liang Xiao smiled slightly, and said: "If you go to North China with me, it will be a good thing, but marching and fighting are a bit boring, and it will make people very boring."

"I would like to go to North China."

Ito Chiba thought for a moment and said.

Liang Xiao had already guessed that she would make such a choice, and said: "I will send someone to buy some clothes for you in Shanghai. After two days, we will go to the mountain city first, and then go to North China. North China is not as cold as Jiangnan. It is colder there. Bring more clothes when you go."

"understood."

Ito Chiba felt very melancholy, she didn't know whether the decision she made was right or wrong, but she knew that it was her inner choice.

"You rest first, I still have something to do, go out for a while."

Liang Xiao dropped these words, turned around and walked out of the room.

When he walked to the door, he saw a trace of coldness flashing across his cold and handsome face.

Chapter 675 See you in Chongqing, madam gossiping

two days later.

Liang Xiao set off from Shanghai and headed for the headquarters of the Jinling Third War Zone.

Back at the theater headquarters, he discussed with Chief of Staff Yang Jie and Deputy Commander-in-Chief Ye Zhao about the dispatch of troops to the north, and made many military deployments and adjustments.

The troops going north this time are: No.20 Sixth Army under the jurisdiction of the 26th Army, the 66th Army, the Special Operations Division, the First Bombing Formation under the First Aviation Detachment, the Heavy Artillery Unit, Armored Unit, Cavalry Unit, and Field Hospital under the Command of the Theater Command , the supply troops, went northward in mid-October.

He handed over everything to Yang Jie for the deployment of the troops, and he took the first step, going from Ning to the state capital to accompany Duchuan.

Although he promised the government to send troops to the north, before sending troops, he had to go to Sichuan and Chongqing to meet with the committee.

At the beginning of October, Liang Xiao led the guards and entourage to Sichuan and Chongqing to accompany the capital. He also brought confidential personnel with him on this trip. When he was in Shanghai, the Confidential Section stayed at the theater headquarters. .

During this period of time, the life of the Guofu was difficult. Facing the menacing fishing boats across the country, the Guofu was in distress. The Central Plains and North China were lost, and the Guofu was directly pushed to the cusp of the fishing boats.

After discussions at the Central Plains and North China this time, the Japanese army took the Central Plains and North China again. The first crime should be Wei Junru, the commander of the first theater. He was revoked from the position of the Commander of the First Theater, and after two days, he was given an order to act as the Commander of the Theater.

In other words, the commander of the first theater is still Wei Junru, but the commander of the theater has become the acting commander.

Yan Laoxi, who lost his city and territory in the Second War Zone...has nothing to lose. The Military and Political Council sent a symbolic telegram, which was perfunctory.

But in order to give an explanation to the people of the country, the Military and Political Council removed the positions of the commanders of the two group armies in the first theater, three lieutenant generals were sent to military courts, two lieutenant generals were removed from the second theater, and a major general and division commander who fled was regarded as a typical shooting.

This kind of punishment is neither light nor heavy. It not only appeases the anger of the people on the fishing boats who are not fighting well on the front line, but also allows the government to step down.

Liang Xiao just smiled slightly at this. It seems that the government has dealt with several generals, but in fact it was a decision made after the various factions discussed and weighed the pros and cons.

afternoon.

The special plane arrived at Sichuan-Chongqing Shapingba Airport.

The left-behind office of the Southern Bureau dispatched vehicles to meet them and their party.

After entering the city, he chose the left-behind office of the Southern Bureau as a temporary place to stay.

settle down.

He went straight to the commissioner's residence to have an audience.

Today, he no longer needs to greet him from the room, he can go directly to the official residence to have an audience.

When he came to the official residence of the commissioner, the staff officer took him directly to the official residence to wait. The commissioner was meeting with the special envoys of the Western countries, and it would take about an hour to finish.

While he was waiting.

The lady came in from the living room.

"Fei Yu, I heard from the attendants that you're here, so I rushed back from the airport."

The lady smiled.

"Hello ma'am."

Liang Xiao got up to say hello, he and his wife have always been courteous, there is no festival between them, but there is no kindness.

"Sit down."

Madam smiled and asked Liang Xiao to sit down: "Now that you are the commander of the war zone, it is difficult for me, an idle person, to see you. If you hadn't come to accompany me, I don't know when I will see you."

"The madam has spoiled the students."

Liang Xiao smiled slightly and said: "I heard that Madam just came back from abroad and is busy with the formation of the Air Force recently. How is the progress?"

"With the help of the American empire, the formation of our air force went smoothly. This time, after returning from the United States, we not only talked about 1.

2 million U.S. loans, and the U.S. Empire also aided us with a batch of U.S. weapons, including [-] advanced fighter jets.”

Madame said.

"It was not easy for my wife to obtain a US dollar loan for our country after mediating with many parties in the United States. The students are deeply impressed."

Liang Xiao said.

"If you want to talk about this US dollar loan, it almost died because of you."

Madam didn't mean to blame him at all, but just discussing the matter, she asked: "What I can't figure out is, for no reason, why did you go against the Western countries and take back the French Concession by force."

Liang Xiao glanced at Madam.

The commissioner probably didn't tell her the truth.

"There are some things, Madam, just ask the principal. It's not the students who want to fight against the Western countries, but the situation, and they have to do it as a last resort."

Liang Xiao said.

"Stop talking about these things."

Madam smiled and said: "You finally came here, what do you want to eat, I will ask the kitchen to make it for you."

"You can eat whatever you want, Madam decides."

Liang Xiao said.

"I heard that you occasionally felt cold in Shanghai. You must not be in good health. You should not eat Western food, and you can't eat Lu cuisine and Jiangnan cuisine. This is good. Try Sichuan cuisine. Sichuan cuisine is very spicy, and it is good for your illness. .”

Madame laughed.

Liang Xiao almost burst out laughing, everyone knows a truth, people who are sick should avoid spicy food, but his wife said... spicy is good for the disease.

"Ma'am just looked at the arrangement..."

"Then let's eat Sichuan cuisine. There is a special dish in Sichuan cuisine. You must try it."

Madame said.

“What specials”

Liang Xiao asked.

“Sichuan-Chongqing Braised Carp.”

Madam smiled and said: "This dish is delicious, you must like it."

"Then it's better to be respectful than to obey."

Liang Xiao thought to himself, Madam invited him to eat braised carp, it shouldn't be that simple, she meant something, and wanted to express something with braised carp.

"Fei Yu, you sit down first, I'll go to the kitchen to make arrangements."

Madam stood up with a smile, walked a few steps, she suddenly turned her head and asked: "Chu Xiangxue, who used to be my interpreter, is now your confidential secretary."

"Yes, ma'am, she is now the chief of the confidential section of the third war zone, and also the confidential secretary of the students."

Liang Xiao's heart skipped a beat, Madam must have heard something.

"It's okay, I just thought of her, just ask, someday you have time, let her come to the mansion, I haven't seen her for so long, it's strange to miss her."

Madame said.

"No problem, the student arranged for her to visit you at the official residence some other day."

Liang Xiao didn't think so in his heart, at the beginning Madam transferred Chu Xiangxue to the Military Intelligence Department, and wanted to use Dai Yunong's hand to get rid of her.

Unexpectedly, he rushed out halfway and rescued Chu Xiangxue from the predicament.

"Sit down properly, for a while...Brother Jie comes out, you have a good chat, and I will prepare dinner for you."

Madam finished speaking with a smile and left from the living room.

Chapter 676 The seat is poor, the general complains

After a long time.

The delegate came in from the living room.

After he came in, he took off his coat, looking a little tired, but he still cheered up, smiled, and said: "Fei Yu has been waiting for a long time, just now the special envoy of the United States explained to me the wishes of the president of another country, I was swayed by him I was dizzy, and it was hard to send him away."

"The principal has worked hard."

Liang Xiao got up and said.

"It's hard work, it's just... I'm not optimistic about the situation of our country's war of resistance. Since the outbreak of the war of resistance, the national government's finances have been unable to make ends meet, and military expenditures have been stretched. To tell you the truth, now even the salaries of local officials in the national government are almost unable to continue. .”

Appointment Road.

"The War of Resistance was not achieved in a day. The difficulty now is only temporary. After a period of time, everything will get better."

Liang Xiao smiled slightly and said, how could he fail to hear the subtext of the commissioner, this time he came to accompany the capital, and he came here specifically to discuss this matter with the commissioner.

"Everyone says that the war of resistance is not achieved in a day, and we must be prepared for a long-term war of resistance, but our country's economy does not allow it. If the war continues for another three to five years, our economy will collapse completely. By then, the Japanese invaders will die without bloodshed. Then you can occupy the great rivers and mountains of our country."

Appointment Road.

"The war will last for two or three years at most. Right now, not only are we forming an alliance with Germany, but even the Japanese aggressors are forming an alliance with the German Empire. In the humble opinion of the students, Germany will launch a war in the middle of next year. , will have a good chain reaction.”
