I am Jiang Weiguo in World War II

"What happened?" Haushofer, Marshal Blomberg, Ribbentrop, Rommel and others from the German side also rushed over.

"Dear German friends!" Yang Jie said righteously, "Our patrol torpedo boat just happened to be a civilian ship sneaking towards Jeju Island in a certain waters north of Musepo. During the negotiation process, the Japanese armed personnel on that civilian ship Sudden attack on our torpedo boat, our torpedo boat counterattacked and sank the civilian ship, and then our gunboat rushed to search for and capture these Japanese armed personnel on the sea!" He glared at the Japanese personnel like a mountain , "There is reason to believe! Japan's behavior is to harm the German and Chinese participants on Jeju Island, and there is a high possibility that they are our participants! Here, we strongly protest to the Japanese side And solemnly condemn! The Japanese side must give us a satisfactory explanation!"

"Mr. Konoe!" Haushofer looked at Fumimako Konoe with surprise, anger and doubt, "What's going on?" He was very annoyed in his heart, and he also knew that the Japanese "besides good things, what's the matter?" "Do it all" "It has always been a poor and arrogant face in the world to take advantage of what is available and rely on it." For the safety of this tripartite meeting, the German side did its best to take security measures and hinted more than once. The Japanese side "do not take any other actions beyond the talks", but unexpectedly, the Japanese did such a despicable and shameless thing in disregard of international diplomatic norms.

Haushofer had to be annoyed. He strongly advocated and presided over the great event of the Germany-China-Japan Triple Alliance. Undoubtedly, the despicable behavior of the Japanese was a major setback for the realization of the Germany-China-Japan Triple Alliance.

Konoe Fumimaro was already sweating profusely: "Haushofer, I assure you with my personality, I don't know what's going on at all!" Tired and tired", so he immediately suspected that this was done by the Japanese military again, making him, the prime minister, blame them for the umpteenth time, and he hurriedly looked at Yoshijiro Umezu.

Umezu Yoshijiro was obviously also very surprised. He was thinking eagerly, trying to maintain his composure and calmness: "Our side is completely ignorant of this matter! This matter may simply be a despicable and shameless frame-up!"

"Okay!" Yang Jie showed no sign of weakness, "We strongly request our side, the Japanese side, and the German side to jointly investigate this incident! Find out if these people are Japanese! At the same time, out of security considerations, , we have to strengthen our own protection measures!" He looked at Liu Qi and Sun Tao.

Liu Qi and Sun Tao paid a military salute to Yang Jie, and then looked at Ouyang Sihai.

Ouyang Sihai nodded, and sent people to the destroyer Weiguo, and soon, more than 300 sturdy and well-armed soldiers came ashore from the ship.

Due to the prior agreement of the three parties, the security work of Jeju Island was handed over to the Germans, so the number of armed personnel brought to the island by China and Japan was limited. However, just in case, the destroyer Weiguo carried more than 300 additional troops. The elite Nanjing Army officers and soldiers just didn't disembark from the ship and go ashore.

Right now, this opportunity just provides the best reason for China to increase its troops.

Marshal Blomberg looked at Rommel: "Colonel, cheer up your soldiers!"

Rommel saluted solemnly: "I understand!"

This incident brought about a major change in the atmosphere of the tripartite talks. Amid mutual suspicion, the German side suggested that the three parties return to their residences and report to the high-level officials of the three countries at the same time.

After returning to the residence, Jiang Weiguo, Yang Jie, and Jiang Baili were naturally not sleepy, and the three gathered together to discuss this matter.

"Did the Japanese do it?" Jiang Baili looked at Jiang Weiguo with a complex meaning in his eyes. He really had a faint suspicion that this incident might have been directed and acted by Jiang Weiguo himself.

"Of course!" Jiang Weiguo laughed, "There are so many survivors! They are all witnesses! Next, we will launch a tripartite joint investigation. We are full of confidence. As for the Japanese..."

"This is a good thing!" Yang Jie had already thought about it, and his expression was quite excited, "We can use this matter..." Before he finished speaking, the sound of bullets like rainstorm suddenly sounded, coming from several hundred meters behind the village Outside, mixed with the explosion of light artillery shells.

"What's going on?" Several people jumped up in shock.

A German major hurried over: "We found an unidentified group of armed men on the outskirts of the village advancing here! Some of them have already infiltrated into the vicinity of the village!"

"Sun Tao!" Jiang Weiguo shouted loudly.

Sun Tao understood: "The first team and the second team stay here! The rest, follow me to set up a defense line outside the village!"

"Damn it!" Amidst the dense gunfire, Jiang Weiguo was in a state of confusion, "What are you doing? Why are there armed men again?"

The entire Sanmu Village was once again in shock. The German troops protecting the village rushed to join the battle. Jiang Weiguo's guards were also divided into two, half of them were beside Jiang Weiguo, and the other half went outside the village.

The attackers who came over rushed madly with the spirit of seeing death as home, and were shot in the night like lightning and exploded like thunder. Compared with the attackers at sea, the attack and combat effectiveness of these attackers on land were greatly enhanced. The weapons are very well made.

In the mountains and forests outside the village, the two sides opened the pot, but because of the darkness, it was difficult for the two sides to distinguish the enemy from the enemy, so the situation quickly fell into chaos.

"Seat!" Liu Qi urged Jiang Weiguo anxiously, "You'd better get out of here quickly! It's safer to be on a warship!"

"Isn't it right?" Yang Jie said impatiently, "Who are these attackers? We don't know. If they are Japanese, then the problem will be troublesome. We are passively beaten here, but transferred to the warship. It is even more dangerous, who knows if the Japanese are ready to attack our warships?"

"Could it be that this tripartite meeting was a conspiracy from the very beginning? A trap?" Jiang Baili was also uneasy.

"Fuck! What's going on?" Jiang Weiguo was upset and flustered.

At this moment, there was a sharp and harsh "咻..." sound breaking through the sky above the house.

Even if it was Jiang Weiguo, he quickly came to his senses: this is the sound of mortar shells flying over!

After a bloody fight, a small group of attackers who came near Jiang Weiguo's residence and were about to be surrounded and strangled by Chinese and German guards set up a mortar at the last moment, pinning their last hope on a shell.

The shells whizzed away, and with a bang, Jiang Weiguo's house burst into flames in a big explosion.

Two days later, the two provinces of Lu and Jin, where the Nanjing Army was stationed.

"Brothers!" One by one, the messengers rode horses, bicycles, or drove through the Nanjing army camp, shouting with grief and indignation, "The second son was assassinated by the Japanese!"

Section 393 Tripartite Talks (8)

Jiang Weiguo's prestige within the Nanjing Army is undoubtedly very high. In fact, Jiang Weiguo's prestige is not only manifested in the Nanjing Army, but also in the Central Army, and even in the entire Chinese army. Naturally, the Nanjing Army is the worst. It can be described as "extremely high".

Almost all of the 40 officers and soldiers of the Nanjing Army supported Jiang Weiguo. The high-level generals and senior officers all had deep respect for Jiang Weiguo. Fanatical adoration.

The reason for this "personality cult" of Jiang Weiguo is actually very simple, because Jiang Weiguo is a "military genius", "war hero", and "national idol".

There are too many advantages of Jiang Weiguo. As long as Chinese people read newspapers, listen to the radio, and care about national affairs, they all know that "with Jiang Weiguo present, the national army will definitely win big battles." The Battle of Pingjin, the Battle of Shanghai, the Battle of Xuzhou, the Battle of Nanjing , all were won, especially in the Battle of Nanjing, where more than [-] Japanese soldiers died. Such a glorious record that shone in history and shocked China and foreign countries was achieved by Jiang Weiguo. Jiang Weiguo's record on the battlefield is clear, real, and ironclad. Rushan (and also boasted by the propaganda agency of the national government with a lot of water), had to let him become the "military genius" and "war hero" that China objectively needs at this time, which is facing internal and external troubles, and a China in suffering It is an indisputable fact that Jiang Weiguo can lead the national army to victory, and all the officers and soldiers of the Nanjing Army know that Jiang Weiguo has never been afraid, flinched, or escaped at the most dangerous juncture. , but stood with them unswervingly with the body of "Second Young Master Jiang" and stood together at the forefront. Even if Nanjing City was surrounded by Japanese regiments, Jiang Weiguo did not run away or abandon them. , I have to deeply move the officers and soldiers of the Nanjing Army; more than that, Jiang Weiguo has always cared for his subordinates and colleagues. Following him, military salaries and allowances will never be deducted, they will only be doubled, pensions and bonuses It is also very rich, and it is indeed a bit exaggerated to describe it as "graciousness is as heavy as a mountain", but Jiang Weiguo's kindness to his subordinates and colleagues is recognized by everyone.

On the battlefield, Jiang Weiguo not only bravely fought side by side with his subordinates and colleagues, set an example, and even took the lead. On several occasions, Jiang Weiguo personally led the charge. , In addition, Jiang Weiguo also provided the best treatment to his subordinates and colleagues in terms of materials. Jiang Weiguo brought the most sophisticated weapons and ammunition. The slogan asked the Nanjing Army to fight the enemy desperately, but tried its best to let the Nanjing Army fight bloody battles under the most favorable conditions. In addition to weapons and ammunition, Jiang Weiguo also tried his best to let the officers and soldiers of the Nanjing Army survive in all aspects of life, spirit, and medical treatment. The officers and soldiers of the Nanjing Army all remember that during the Battle of Nanjing, Jiang Weiguo was scolded by literati, gentry, and celebrities all over the country, and brought them many fireworks girls so that they could solve some unspeakable problems. It is indeed an indispensable need. This alone is enough to make countless officers and soldiers of the Nanjing Army feel grateful. They deeply feel from Jiang Weiguo's humane approach that Jiang Weiguo is sincerely treating them well and caring for them. Don't let them be so loyal to Jiang Weiguo and serve with their lives.

In addition to the above, Jiang Weiguo has many advantages that are convincing and convincing. He is as clean as water, never harming public wealth and private interests, corrupt and accepting bribes; He loves the country and the people, cares about the country and the people, devotes himself to the country and the people all day long, and never seeks the people's fat;... Wait, there are too many. Of course, Jiang Weiguo also has shortcomings, that is, his life style is not good. He has four girlfriends. It's just that this "shortcoming" is not a shortcoming in the hearts of most Chinese people at this time. It is only natural that Jiang Weiguo is popular with girls. After all, Jiang Weiguo is very young and handsome, and he is also the chairman of the General Secretary Chiang Kai-shek. Chiang Kai-shek's son, Chiang Kai-shek's prestige in the hearts of most Chinese people is still very high at this time.

Generally speaking, Jiang Weiguo is China's first-class second-generation official, but he has so many advantages that he is covered with dazzling halos, and the propaganda agencies of the Nationalist Government fueled the flames, leading to Jiang Weiguo. At the moment, he is already an out-and-out "national idol".

The Nanjing Army was founded by Jiang Weiguo. There is no doubt that the whole Nanjing Army is devoted to Jiang Weiguo. It is no exaggeration to say that the Nanjing Army's worship of Jiang Weiguo is no less than the Japanese Army's worship of Emperor Hirohito.

It is conceivable how shocked, how indignant, and how resentful the Nanjing army was when they learned that Jiang Weiguo had been assassinated by the Japanese. The whole army exploded in resentment.

"How is the second son? Is he okay?" The officers and soldiers of the Nanjing Army who asked this question all had red eye circles and tears because of sadness, worry, and anxiety.

"Damn it! Little Japan dared to assassinate the Second Young Master!"

"Revenge! We must avenge the second son! Kill all the Japanese!"

The hundreds of thousands of officers and soldiers of the Nanjing Army were all furious and gritted their teeth. They hated the Japanese even more deeply.

On December 12, the Wuhan Military Commission officially released the news: Jiang Weiguo was assassinated by Japanese agents while inspecting the local construction in Qingdao. He was shot three times and hit more than 11 places on his body by the fragments of the grenade explosion. He was seriously injured and is undergoing emergency rescue. Not out of danger yet.

It stands to reason that the attack on a "big man" like Jiang Weiguo and his health status should be "state secrets" and should not be released to the public easily. It was determined that the murderer was a Japanese agent. Obviously, this has a deep meaning.

Chen Cheng, who presided over the press conference and press conference, announced the news "with extremely painful feelings", and said indignantly: "China and Japan have negotiated a peace and armistice, and logically, the armed conflict between China and Japan has come to an end." Well, although there are still many unresolved issues between China and Japan, in terms of international norms and legal principles, China and Japan are already peaceful countries, but the Japanese intelligence agency brazenly sent someone to assassinate the second son of our leader. This is undoubtedly a naked provocation by the Japanese authorities against our country, which has seriously damaged the peace between China and Japan! In view of the seriousness of the situation, our government expresses the strongest protest and the most solemn condemnation to the Japanese government, and we The Chinese side reserves all rights to counterattack the Japanese side!" Chen Cheng's last words were resounding and shocked the audience.

Because everyone at the scene understood that another meaning of "we reserve all the power to counterattack Japan" is "China does not rule out war with Japan because of this."

This is a very serious sentence, from which it can be inferred that the Chinese army is likely to counterattack the Japanese army because of this.

For a moment, Shi Potian was shocked, and the whole world was in an uproar.

The major powers once again set their eyes on China and Japan in different ways.

All the great powers of course understood the seriousness of this matter. Jiang Weiguo was assassinated by the Japanese. It was by no means a trivial matter. Jiang Weiguo was the youngest son of Chiang Kai-shek. His accident was a major event, not to mention that Jiang Weiguo was still the "leader of the new generation" of the Chinese army. This led to the importance of this matter, which cannot be overstated in any words.

On the one hand, the great powers are closely and intensely watching China, and on the other hand, they are also paying close and intense attention to Japan.

Japan's attitude is very paradoxical. It neither refuted China's accusation nor admitted it, but adopted a silent countermeasure.

As a result, the outside world came to a conclusion: this matter is hard evidence, even if the Japanese are the best at cheating, they have to acquiesce this time.

In this regard, all parties are basically not very suspicious, because Jiang Weiguo really stole the limelight in the Sino-Japanese War, and he has become the "symbol of victory" of the Chinese army, and Jiang Weiguo commanded his Nanjing Army during the war to kill and kill There are a large number of Japanese troops, and there is even a saying, "Japan cannot defeat China because of the existence of Jiang Weiguo."

It is only logical that the Japanese want Jiang Weiguo's life.

Germany, which is the closest to China and Japan, immediately issued a public statement, strongly condemning the Japanese government's behavior of "undermining the peace between China and Japan".

In this regard, the Japanese government is still silent, no excuse.

Immediately, the situation in East Asia and even the world was turbulent, and the cloud of war shrouded China and Japan again.

Commander Fu Zuoyi of the Second Military Region, Wei Lihuang, Deputy Commander, Zhang Fakui, Commander of the Fifth Military Region, and Yu Xuezhong, Deputy Commander received an order to go to Wuhan for a meeting on December 12.

The four generals hurried to take a plane and flew to Wuhan to attend the meeting.

At the Supreme Military Conference in Wuhan, Chiang Kai-shek, who "has just recovered from his body," showed a rare emotion of excitement, announcing that "the despicable provocations of the Japanese are intolerable and unacceptable" and "the strongest and decisive counterattack must be made." measures", the implication is self-evident.

In this regard, all the high-ranking generals participating in the meeting felt very unbelievable. Although everyone understood Chiang Kai-shek's "emotional loss of control", after all, Jiang Weiguo was Chiang Kai-shek's heart and soul. What made everyone unbelievable was that Chiang Kai-shek, who had always been tolerant of Japan, would show Such a tough attitude towards Japan is simply unprecedented, and it has to surprise everyone.

After all, no matter how important Jiang Weiguo is, Chiang Kai-shek should not be so "impulsive", and he actually planned to start a new war with the Japanese in order to avenge Jiang Weiguo. This is simply incredible.

Chiang Kai-shek's anger is understandable, but it is incomprehensible that Chiang Kai-shek "lost his mind".

A group of high-level officials headed by He Yingqin were amazed, and earnestly persuaded Chiang Kai-shek to "focus on the overall situation of the country", and repeatedly analyzed how dangerous and disadvantageous it was to "launch a counterattack war against Japan at this time". What kind of hidden dangers, etc., and, it is easy to start a war, how to stop it?What kind of ending do you want to play?In addition, the Japanese army is by no means a chicken and a dog. What if the national army's counterattack ends in the end of stealing chickens and losing money, that is, instead of regaining the country, the Japanese army counterattacks and loses a large area of ​​​​the country, what should we do?Things can easily get out of hand, how will it end in the end?In fact, not only He Yingqin, who has always been a "pro-Japanese faction", but also many high-level officials who originally belonged to the "anti-Japanese faction" and "battle faction" also opposed or disapproved of launching an immediate counterattack against Japan.

The opinions of the high-level officials at the scene could be described as "one-sided", and more than two-thirds of the high-level officials opposed or disapproved of launching a counterattack war against Japan immediately.

Chiang Kai-shek's behavior once again surprised everyone. He, who has always been hesitating to think about problems and worrying about gains and losses, is determined to settle accounts with the Japanese.

As the supreme leader of the party and state, Chiang Kai-shek made full use of his power as a "dictator" at the meeting. Gan Gang was arbitrary, refused to listen to advice, and decided with an extremely firm attitude to "immediately launch a counterattack against Japan."

Since it was necessary to launch a counterattack war against Japan, it was natural that the Second Military Region (Shanxi Province) and the Fifth Military Region (Shandong Province), which bordered Japanese-occupied Suiyuan Province and Japanese-occupied Hebei Province, and the Japanese-occupied The Third Military Region (Jiangsu, Zhejiang and Anhui) bordering Shanghai.

However, anyone with a discerning eye can see that the counterattack mission is obviously undertaken by the Second and Fifth Military Regions.

It is worth mentioning that several old "old faces" were missing from this important high-level meeting, such as Li Zongren and Bai Chongxi. The two also received orders to come to Wuhan to attend the high-level meeting, but they just called back " The Guangxi army is always ready to face the Japanese army that invaded Guangxi," and never came to Wuhan. The implication is very clear: the Gui army will no longer go out to fight for the country like it did during the last war.

Not only Li Zongren and Bai Chongxi, but also local warlords such as Long Yun, Liu Wenhui, and Ma Jiajun also shirked and refused to send troops to join the war again. Even the various powerful figures in the Sichuan Army who fell into a split state after Liu Xiang's death also found excuses to avoid the war passively. .

After the end of the last war, Chiang Kai-shek not only did not reward the local army for their hard work, but instead killed the donkey. This move really chilled and angered the local army. Naturally, when a new war broke out immediately, the local army chose to strike passively.

After the meeting, Chiang Kai-shek summoned He Yingqin, Chen Cheng, Xu Yongchang, Fu Zuoyi, and Zhang Fakui alone in his office, and said with piercing eyes: "Although we have negotiated a peace and armistice with the Japanese, we have always been very clear that China and Japan are still in conflict. In fact, we are in a period of war, so we have no horses to go to Nanshan. On the contrary, our army has been actively preparing for the battle, so it is not a hasty move to launch a large-scale campaign immediately.

For this counterattack, the Second and Fifth War Zones will bear the main responsibility!" He looked at Fu Zuoyi and Zhang Fakui, "Yisheng (Fu Zuoyi's name), Xiang Hua (Zhang Fakui's name), do you have any drafts in mind? "
