Bright Sword: Leading the Special Operations Squadron to Fight the Japs

Those jealous reporters wanted to slap themselves twice. If they had asked such questions at the beginning, perhaps they would have been able to enjoy this wealth and glory!

But there is no medicine for regret in this world. After Wang Meng finished speaking, he left the airport, got on Chen Bulei's motorcade, and drove towards the official residence halfway up the mountain.

When they arrived at the door of the official residence, Chen Bulei quietly reminded Wang Meng.

"Chief of Staff Wang, the gentleman has been in a bad mood recently, so..."

Wang Meng nodded. Although he didn't care about Chang Guangzhou's emotions, there was no need for him to resist the well-intentioned reminder.

"Thank you, Mr. Bray."

After Wang Meng finished speaking, he walked up the stairs and went directly into the meeting room of the official residence.

"Sir, the Chief of Staff of the Independent Column, Wang Meng, reports in!"

Chang Guangzhou stood up. Although he looked a little unhappy, he still politely invited Wang Meng to sit down.

"Thank you for your hard work on this journey. Please take a seat!"

Wang Meng didn't hesitate and sat down aside.

The two sat there awkwardly for a while, and the waiter brought them tea, which broke the awkwardness between them.

"Try this year's new tea. Since the fall of Hangzhou, good tea like this has become increasingly scarce!"

Although Wang Meng didn't know much about tea, the fragrance and aftertaste made him feel moved, as if he had spiritual power.

"Well, China has never lacked treasures. No wonder the Japanese are eyeing us covetously, wishing to turn us into their rear base!"

"Well, you fought well in the Central Henan Campaign this time, and you showed the bloodiness, courage and responsibility of our Chinese soldiers.

However, I seem to have heard some different voices these days. Some people say that your independent column is arrogant and does not take the central government seriously. You arbitrarily expel officials appointed by the central government, which has a very bad influence! "

Chang Guangzhou paused after he finished speaking, and glanced at Wang Meng, indicating that he should speak a few words about his views.

However, Wang Meng, who was holding the teacup, seemed to be still immersed in the fragrance of tea and did not even raise his head.

Chang Guangzhou was forced to continue:

"Haha, but I don't believe in such rumors! I fully trust you and Commander Li Yunlong. As the old saying goes, if you use this person, you must give him 100% trust.

However, not everyone in this world sees things as clearly as I do! So, sometimes you still need to get closer to the central government, make some gestures, and shut those people up! "

Only then did Wang Meng put down his teacup and looked at Chang Guangzhou.

"Sir, I guess those who say these things want to sabotage the war of resistance! From the beginning when we left the Eighth Route Army to now following your orders to cross the river to fight, it all shows our loyalty, so please distinguish right from wrong!"

"Yeah, I think so too, but there are always people who like to whisper in my ears. Why didn't Director Li Yunlong come this time?"

"Director Li announced good news to us today. His wife is pregnant. Now he is jumping up and down as he walks. He will stay in Pingshun to be a good husband!"

"Congratulations! Our new generation of successors is here!"

Wang Meng chuckled and looked down on Chang Guangzhou, saying that Chang Guangzhou still had some feudal remnants in his heart and believed in inheriting his father's business.

"Haha, Director Li has finally achieved success."

"By the way, what else did you come to Chongqing for besides reporting your work?"

"Sir, this is the case. We are planning to transport a batch of supplies to the movement to strengthen the Nujiang River defense. However, the amount of supplies is large, so we need to withdraw half of the garrison troops along the Nujiang River to Kunming to receive them.

The mobilization of troops requires your approval, so I came to ask for your instructions!"

Chang Guangzhou despised Wang Meng in his heart. When did the independent column need his consent to move? The Eighth Route Army and the independent column only regarded him as a leader when they needed supplies. At other times, he was nothing.

However, Chang Guangzhou felt good about Wang Meng's initiative to show weakness. Perhaps this was a good start?

"Okay, I agree, but after receiving the supplies, you must immediately return to the Nujiang River and strengthen defense. Recently, Country M has been urging us to launch an attack as soon as possible, join the expeditionary force, and wipe out the Japanese in Southeast Asia.

But how could they know how complicated the situation is now? The Kwantung Army in the Northeast is eyeing us covetously, and although the North China Front Army has been suppressed by you and has not done anything for the time being, it is still a huge hidden danger. And the enemies in South and Central China, which one is easy to mess with?"

In fact, everyone knows what Chang Guangzhou is thinking. He just wants to delay the situation and then get more military assistance.

After all, he believed that as long as the American equipment arrived, the combat effectiveness would soar. By then, let alone the Eighth Route Army, even if the independent column rebelled, it would be in vain!

"Yes, yes, you need to consider it more comprehensively. Don't worry, after we receive the equipment, we will return to Nujiang and wait for your order to cross the river and fight!"

"Very good! If the whole country can obey orders and follow the command of the Independent Column and Chief of Staff Wang, then there will be no need to worry about unrest in the world."

Wang Meng did not respond. Although he had said a lot of hypocritical words today, this was his bottom line. No matter how disgusting or flattering the words were, he would find it difficult to say them out loud.

"Sir, in order to show our determination to resist the war and obey the attitude of the central government, we have decided to build a high-standard highway from the east bank of the Nujiang River to Kunming. Once the battle starts in the future, our Chinese army can quickly reinforce!"

A smile finally appeared on Chang Guangzhou's face. He thought Wang Meng was just talking, but he didn't expect him to be serious about it?

"Very good! I fully support you. I will immediately order the attendant room to give Long Yun a call and ask him to fully cooperate with you to ensure that this road is put into use on schedule!"

"Great! With the help of the people of Yunnan, I'm afraid that in less than three months, this road will be open to traffic! By then, the Flying Tigers will ensure the safety of this important transportation route, and the Japanese planes will never get in the way!"

Chang Guangzhou nodded frequently. He finally felt that he was a well-deserved leader.

"As I said before, as long as you obey the command of the central government, I am confident that I can lead the people of the country to drive the enemy out of China within three years and achieve national independence!"

Wang Meng sneered, secretly guessing that if you don't make trouble in Guangzhou often, he will be able to drive the Japanese out in two years, and even do some bad things on the main island of Japan!

However, Wang Meng's goal had been achieved. Only after seeing Chang Guangzhou sign the order with his own eyes did he feel relieved and prepare to leave.

"Chief of Staff Wang, are you free tonight?"

Wang Meng looked at Chang Guangzhou's warm expression and felt a little greasy. Could it be that...

"What's with you?"
