"Why are there so few?" Jiang Weiguo was depressed. In fact, a division of the national army is not as large as a brigade of the Japanese army, which is equivalent to strengthening the regiment.

Guo Xunqi smiled wryly and said, "Because...the chairman does not allow us to recruit troops!"

After Jiang Weiguo heard this sentence, he immediately realized that the Sichuan Army is a local army based in Sichuan Province. Of course, the Sichuan Army can recruit troops without restriction in Sichuan Province (only limited by financial constraints), but leaving Sichuan Province, the Sichuan Army It is not allowed to recruit troops in other provinces, and the number of soldiers will be reduced as many as possible. This is Chiang Kai-shek's order to prevent the Sichuan Army and the local army like the Sichuan Army from expanding their forces after leaving the province. At the same time, it is weakening and disintegrating quietly The local army who left his hometown.

To give a simple example: a division of the Sichuan Army with more than 6000 people came out of Sichuan to participate in the War of Resistance. After several vicious battles, there were still 2000 people left in the division. Then this division was merged with a division of the central army whose strength was not damaged, and the division commander was transferred to a certain army of the central army to serve as the deputy commander and chief of staff. Therefore, the division belonging to the Sichuan army had no Or directly ordered to cancel the designation of the division, thus "justifiably" weakening the strength and influence of the Sichuan Army.

"They are here to fight against Japan, but there are foreign invaders in front of them, and behind them are the central government's back arrows. Alas! It's not easy to resist Japan!" Jiang Weiguo was very sad after thinking about this truth. Chinese soldiers Why is it so difficult to go into battle and kill enemies for the country?

"What do you need?" Jiang Weiguo asked the three Sichuan army commanders.

"Weapons and equipment! We need good guns and cannons!" The three Sichuan army commanders were not polite, because they were telling the truth in their hearts, and if they were polite, the next price they would have to pay was the lives and blood of their subordinates.

Jiang Weiguo nodded, and then approved a note: "You go to Director Li immediately, and I will ask him to give you three divisions with full equipment, and each division will issue 200 million rounds of ammunition.

You can throw away the local guns and cannons you brought from your hometown, and just replace them with new weapons! "

"Second son..." The three teachers were immediately overjoyed and excited, and were even more moved to tears.

After they led the troops to Nanjing, they also asked Chiang Kai-shek to change their troops many times, but Chiang Kai-shek pushed and dragged three researches, because in Chiang Kai-shek's view, it is better to equip the Sichuan army with the good guns and cannons in the arsenal and armory. , it is better to leave it to the central military, not to mention, how can the good guns and cannons of the central army be equipped for the local army?It is too late to weaken the local army, how can we strengthen the local army?

"Three officers, you deserve it!" Jiang Weiguo said very sincerely, "You came out to fight against Japan and are ready to sacrifice your blood and even your life for the country. How can the country fail you? How can the country waste your blood in vain? Hurry up and hurry up! The three divisions of you are scattered on the southeast and north sides of Nanjing City, with the gendarmerie and the 918th Regiment to the west!"

"Good! Good!" The three division commanders rushed to get the weapons and equipment for the troops with tears in their eyes. They were really moved, and they couldn't believe it, because Chiang Kai-shek was so stubborn that he couldn't bear to give them such a gun or bullet. Jiang Weiguo was so bold and generous to help the "non-brand army", and he took out the weapons and equipment of three divisions at once. The comparison is simply a world of difference.

In the middle of the night on October 10, Jiang Weiguo received two tasks from Chiang Kai-shek. The first task was to send off the Nationalist Government Chairman Lin Sen and other high-level government officials to evacuate Nanjing.

Jiang Weiguo's father, Chiang Kai-shek, is the chairman of the Military Commission and the generalissimo of the armed forces. He is No.1 in military power and No.1 in real power, but he is not the supreme leader of China in name. The real supreme leader of China is Lin Sen, chairman of the National Government. Lin Sen can be called "" A perfect man of a generation", he is highly respected and admired by the whole party, and he is indifferent to fame and fortune, pure in heart and asceticism, honest and gentle, honest and dedicated to public affairs, with a noble and aloof character, and never participates in "common things" such as power struggles, so many people even ignore this. The old man is actually the supreme leader of the country.

It stands to reason that Chiang Kai-shek should bid farewell to Lin Sen in person, but he was too busy, and Lin Sen also called him and told him to "concentrate on military and state affairs, so there is no need to come and see him off", so Chiang Kai-shek entrusted Jiang Weiguo to bid farewell to Lin Sen on his behalf.

For Lin Sen, Jiang Weiguo respected him very much, so even though he was very busy, he was still very willing to give it to him.

At [-] o'clock in the middle of the night, Jiang Weiguo rushed to Xiaguan Wharf. The gunboat Zhongshan of the Yangtze River Fleet of the Navy had already parked quietly by the wharf. It is on the north bank of the Yangtze River in Nanjing City, but it is not ruled out that Japanese spies have infiltrated it), so it has undertaken this task, and the Zhongshan ship is very old and has weak firepower. It is the lowest combat effectiveness in the Yangtze River Fleet. , it was naturally drawn out, and this warship has special historical significance, and it was named after Mr. Sun Yat-sen, so it is more meaningful to undertake this task.

Lieutenant Colonel Sa Shijun, the captain of the Zhongshan ship, was waiting by the pier with all the officers and men of the ship, and the warship kept firing.

After saluting each other with Sa Shijun, Jiang Weiguo asked, "Has the Yangtze Fleet arrived?"

Sa Shijun nodded: "Assemble at the section of the river near Ma'anshan, reinforcements to Nanjing can be made at any time.

Ninghai, Pinghai, Yixian, Ziqiang, and Datong are all here, and there are 24 torpedo boats working together!"

Jiang Weiguo laughed: "The main reason is that naval guns are needed. Torpedo boats should be useless. The Japanese fleet will not be able to come to Nanjing in a short time. Even if they come, I can't wait!" He turned his head and stared at the eastern suburbs of Nanjing. On the top of Zijin Mountain, a hundred cannons are ready to go.

The two chatted for less than 5 minutes, and Sun Tao shouted: "Chairman Lin is here!"

In the dim street light, a group of cars is coming slowly, there are more than 30 cars, half of them are "Meiling" brand for passengers, and half are "Zhongzheng brand" for carrying things.

In the national government, the only departments that are directly under the jurisdiction of the chairman of the national government are the Civil Service Department, the Military Service Department, and the Accounting Department (because most of the power is in the hands of Jiang Weiguo’s father). There are more than 1000 civil servants in the three departments. At this time, Lin Sen More than 100 senior officials, important staff and dozens of chairman guards left together first.

"Raise the flag!" Sa Shijun ordered loudly with a solemn expression.

The Zhongshan ship slowly raised the "Chairman Flag of the National Government of the Republic of China".

The convoy stopped in an orderly manner, and a thin old man with a fluttering silver beard, plain clothes, and kind eyes got out of one of the "Meiling" cars. It was Lin Sen, the chairman of the Nationalist Government.

Jiang Weiguo and Sa Shijun stepped forward hurriedly.

"Chairman Lin, I am here to see you off on behalf of my father. My father is too busy to do his best. Please forgive me," Jiang Weiguo said respectfully.

"Okay, okay, I'm sorry to trouble you..." Lin Sen smiled slightly, "Jieshi is very busy, so many important national affairs and military affairs need him to worry about, I understand, Jianhao, you need to help you more Father..."

Jiang Weiguo nodded again and again: "Weiguo will follow the chairman as an example and dedicate himself to the country!"

Sa Shijun saluted Lin Sen: "Report to Chairman Lin, I am Sa Shijun, the captain of the gunboat Zhongshan, and I am escorting you to Chongqing under the orders of Chairman Jiang and President Chen.

All officers and soldiers of our ship are ready to welcome Chairman Lin to board the ship and will do our best to escort Chairman Lin and his party to Chongqing safely!"

Lin Sen bowed his hands to Sa Shijun and other Zhongshan ship officers and soldiers very modestly: "Then I will thank you!"

Sa Shijun said: "It is an honor for our ship and all the officers and men of our ship to escort Chairman Lin to Chongqing. Chairman Lin is invited to board the ship!"

Lin Sen didn't board the ship, but turned around and stood there, staring at the Nanjing city under the night, without saying a word for a long time.

Sa Shijun waited for a while, and couldn't help urging: "Chairman, time is tight. The Jiangbei Army of the Japanese Army is less than [-] kilometers away from Nanjing, and they are still rushing here in the starry night. Hurry up and board the ship!"

Lin Sen sighed softly: "Five years ago during the Songhu Anti-Japanese War, I had to go to Luoyang to hide, and this time I have to go to Chongqing to hide.

I am 70 years old this year!I'm old, I don't know how long the Anti-Japanese War will last, I don't know how long it will take us to defeat the Japanese pirates, I don't know if I can go back to Nanjing again in my life, before I leave, let me take a few more glances! "(During the Songhu Anti-Japanese War in 1932, in order to prevent the Japanese army from attacking Nanjing, the national government temporarily moved the capital to Luoyang.

Everyone present including Sa Shijun and Jiang Weiguo couldn't help the tears in their eyes.

Jiang Weiguo said seriously: "We will win, Chairman, you will come back soon! I promise you!"

Lin Sen turned his head and looked at Jiang Weiguo kindly: "Jianhao, you said I won't be back until a few years?"

Jiang Weiguo couldn't help feeling a kind of humiliating grief and indignation in his heart: Japanese, oh Japanese, you bully people too much!It actually forced the supreme leader of our country to leave the capital. Sooner or later, I will fucking beat your emperor to flee Tokyo in a panic! "Five or six years for the slow ones, three or four years for the fast ones!" Jiang Weiguo looked at Lin Sen firmly, "You will come back then!"

"Good! Good!" Lin Sen nodded with a light smile, "If that's the case, I can still get this old bone!"

"Please take care of yourself, old man!" Jiang Weiguo said with tears in his eyes, "Come with us to welcome the day of victory!"

Lin Sen nodded with a smile on his face. After looking at Nanjing City for a while, he set foot on the Zhongshan ship to Chongqing in a desolate but hopeful state of mind.

Looking at the back of the Zhongshan ship leaving on the river, Jiang Weiguo clenched his fists: "Japanese, come on!"

Chapter 219 Soldiers approaching the city (1)

Jiang Weiguo was given two tasks by Chiang Kai-shek tonight. The first task was to send off the National Government Chairman Lin Sen and other high-level government officials to leave Nanjing. Jiang Weiguo was very willing to this task, but he was very dissatisfied with the second task. Yes, and he felt that this task was simply unimaginable and absurd.

Jiang Weiguo's second mission was to send off a group of Japanese leaving Nanjing.

At Pukou Railway Station in Pukou District, Nanjing, on the north bank of the Yangtze River, a special train is ready, and hundreds of military police are closely guarding the train.

Jiang Weiguo felt that this scene was simply absurd, because the Japanese who were closely protected by the Chinese military police were Japanese from the hostile country, Japan.

Since the Japanese army had already approached the city of Nanjing, the national government specially arranged for the staff of the Japanese embassy in China to safely evacuate Nanjing, which was about to be ravaged by the Japanese war. Dozens of military police protected them along the way, and several foreign ministry commissioners accompanied them.

The Japanese army is about to attack Nanjing, the capital of China, but the Chinese government specially arranges manpower to protect the Japanese in Nanjing from leaving Nanjing, which makes people feel incredible.

In fact, it was not that the Nationalist government was "bowling" because the two countries were at war and not beheaded their envoys. Firstly, it was stipulated by an international agreement. This kind of thing was done before the war. They took 39 British representatives to China as hostages and tortured and killed them, resulting in the death of 21 people. The 21 British people who died were all dead. Although Britain has long wanted to invade China again, However, such brutal and brutal behavior of the Qing government also thoroughly angered the British government and the British military, and became a major reason for the joint invasion of China by the British and French allied forces and the looting and burning of the Old Summer Palace), not to mention that China and Japan are not yet belligerent countries.

Although the Chinese and Japanese armies have fought bloody battles in the two major battlefields of Pingjin and Songhu, and even the Japanese army threatened the Chinese capital, the two countries have not officially declared war on each other.

With an angry and aggrieved mentality, Jiang Weiguo pulled his face and sent off these Japanese with Xiao Shanling.

A total of more than 130 Japanese left Nanjing by special train, all of whom were members of the Japanese embassy in China.

Jiang Weiguo certainly couldn't have said "Bon voyage", he just looked around the train, and then lit up a cigarette in boredom, when he heard cheers from the train carriage.

The Japanese in the car were cheering happily, which was extremely harsh to the Chinese. At the same time, there was a high-pitched and excited voice saying something loudly, which was then drowned in the enthusiastic cheers again.

Jiang Weiguo felt that the voice was a bit familiar, and he asked a foreign ministry staff next to him: "What are the Japanese talking about?"

The staff of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs could understand Japanese, and he translated to Jiang Weiguo with resentment and humiliation: "The Japanese said... the imperial army of the Imperial Japanese Empire has already reached the city of Nanjing, and the sun flag of the Imperial Japanese Empire will fly in the sky soon. Over the capital of China!"

Although Jiang Weiguo didn't want to be troublesome, he still couldn't help but feel angry.

"Long live His Majesty the Emperor!" "Long live the Great Japanese Empire!" "Long live the Great Japanese Imperial Army!" The Japanese in the carriage were cheering wildly in Nanjing, the capital of China, for the Japanese army's upcoming attack on Nanjing.

Jiang Weiguo couldn't bear it anymore, he threw away the cigarette butt, strode towards the train and boarded the carriage, Xiao Shanling hurriedly followed Jiang Weiguo, for fear that Jiang Weiguo would do something radical.

Kicking the door of the car, Jiang Weiguo glanced coldly inside, and found that this car was treated like a state guest. The windows were bright and clean, the lights were spotless, and the facilities were complete. The most exaggerated thing was that the floor was even covered with carpets. People are not from the hostile countries that invaded China, but from the Germans who came to China to aid.

All the Japanese in the car were full of joy and radiance, and the one in the middle was even more radiant and happy. He was the one who shouted the slogan just now. Moreover, Jiang Weiguo knew him. He was the Japanese ambassador to China Shigeru Kawagoe. Jiang Weiguo had met him once. , had placed Lieutenant General Tashiro's samurai sword around his neck.

Seeing Jiang Weiguo breaking in, the Japanese in the carriage put away the joy on their faces, and tried to pretend to be cowed and evasive. They were not afraid of Jiang Weiguo, and they were already claiming to be victors, but they Knowing that their lives are still in the hands of the losers, they have to "forbear for the time being", but their eyes are full of sarcasm and complacency.

Shigeru Kawagoe smelled of alcohol, and there was an opened bottle of Japanese sake on the table beside him. He turned around to look at Jiang Weiguo, who was a little drunk, and then laughed loudly: "Jiang Weiguo...Jiang Ergong...tsk tsk, You once humiliated me back then, and you didn’t know how to speak arrogantly. Do you still remember that I said the other day that the Empire of Japan would definitely repay the humiliation of that day! Take a look, the invincible imperial army of the Empire of Japan is now We have already arrived at the gate of your capital, so... ha ha ha... ridiculous, ridiculous! I told you a long time ago, how can a mantis arm be used as a cart? How can a mayfly shake a tree? You don't listen, you insist on hitting a stone with an egg, so... now, you Just waiting to meet your sad end..."

Xiao Shanling suddenly broke into a cold sweat. He was really worried that Jiang Wei would chop or shoot Kawagoe Shigeru to death.

Jiang Weiguo looked at Kawagoe Shigeru and other Japanese indifferently first, and then laughed: "Okay, okay..."

Xiao Shanling looked at Jiang Weiguo who was very angry and laughed back in bewilderment.

Jiang Weiguo looked at the Japanese in the carriage with lightning eyes, and said with a smile: "Since you are leaving Nanjing, I have a message for you before parting..." He suddenly changed his face, his tone was solemn and serious, and he said every word. dun authentic,

"Today, you laugh in Nanjing; tomorrow, I will make you cry in Tokyo!"

Xiao Shanling and the Japanese in the car looked at Jiang Weiguo in disbelief.

"Within seven years!" Jiang Weiguo said in a long voice with an extremely solemn expression, "My Chinese army will come to Tokyo as a soldier! You, Japanese, remember it well! Remember it well!"

After saying the words that were almost an oath, Jiang Weiguo turned around and left. At this time, out of the corner of his eye, he saw several large wooden boxes piled up in the corner of the carriage. " seal.

"What is that?" Jiang Weiguo asked Xiao Shanling.

Xiao Shanling showed embarrassment and resentment on his face: "Reparations!"

"What?" Jiang Weiguo felt that he had heard it wrong, "What compensation?"

"Gengzi compensation!" Xiao Shanling replied, "Second son, don't you know? The government is still implementing the "Xin Chou Treaty" of Boxer compensation, including compensation to Japan!" (in the original history Even after the outbreak of the Nanjing Massacre, the Nationalist Government was still paying Boxer indemnities to Japan, because China and Japan were still "diplomatic countries" and not belligerent countries, and the Nationalist Government did not dare to declare war on Japan alone, and Japan, including this point, China deliberately did not declare war on China because of its various interests.

Jiang Weiguo was in a daze at first, and then wanted to laugh: What the hell is this?What kind of shit is this?

"Because Shanghai is a war zone at this time, the sea route is different, and the customs channels in Shanghai have basically been blocked, so the government has taken away part of the compensation that should be handed over to the Japanese government this year by the staff of the Japanese embassy in China!" Xiao Shanling added, "all It's fiat cash!"
