I really came here to fight against Japan

In fact, the conflict between Minister Cheng and his superiors has a long history.

It all started when Minister Cheng went to Gansu to ask Song Wenwan to borrow troops to quell the rebellion.

The higher-ups were dissatisfied with Minister Cheng because he was locked up. Minister Cheng, on the other hand, was lucky enough to escape.

Moreover, Minister Cheng and Song Wenwan jointly staged a drama of sending troops to rescue the lord.

They both became heroes, but he was the one who was rescued.

It’s not that the higher-ups don’t want to be grateful to both of them, but who doesn’t want to be the hero in the play?

If Minister Cheng had run away from Xi'an without telling his superiors, there would not have been any seeds of resentment left.

Who can guess the dark side of this heart?

Even the two parties involved probably don't know what's going on.

This time things got really awkward, and Minister Cheng was so angry that he refused to go to the office to stamp the documents.

I just applied for a long-term sick leave and went back home to enjoy my retirement.

The higher-ups are also worried. You won't give in. They simply sent troops to help Minister Cheng guard the gate.

Minister Cheng is now basically in a state of semi-house arrest.

The Defense Minister's words were rather subtle, but Song Wenwan could still understand the actual situation.

Song Wenwan understood clearly that it would be unreasonable for her to fall out with Peidu because of Minister Cheng!

Song Wenwan was so dramatic: "It's been hard for me lately, too!"

Now he is at least the commander of the 46th Army.

If you still claim to be their descendants, people will look down on you.

The word "brother" made the big guys in the room couldn't help laughing and stroked their beards.

The youngest boss here is 20 years older than Song Wenwan. Who says he is your brother?

"Right now, I'm already busy enough with the training of Gansu Army recruits.

As a result, it is time for spring ploughing, which really makes it impossible for me to focus on management.”

The Minister of Military Affairs looked at Song Wenwan's pretentious look.

I simply asked him: "Then...what next?"

Song Wenwan: "I need someone who is good at civil affairs to do this for me, the vice chairman of Gansu Province."

Everyone was stunned and wondered what happened to this young man today?

Nowadays, there is no local warlord in any province who does not hold both military and political power.

Song Wenwan, on the other hand, is willing to hand over power voluntarily, and even wants to return the power of a province to the temporary capital.

The deputy chief of the general staff, who was born in Guangxi, even gave him a direct reminder.

"Commander Song, you must be cautious!

Once such a precedent is set, I'm afraid the people in all provinces will be filled with resentment!

By that time, you will become the target of public criticism and it will be difficult to deal with it."

Although he also had selfish motives, he was afraid that if Song Wenwan did this, the forces in the temporary capital would try to sabotage their Guangxi.

But this is indeed for Song Wenwan's own good. It is said that taking away someone's wealth is like killing their parents, not to mention that this is a fight for territory.

If the day ever comes when the military and politics are separated, I'm afraid everyone's resentment towards Song Wenwan will be greater than that towards the attendants' room in the secondary capital.

When the others heard what Song Wenwan meant, they thought there was a lucrative job to be given up, and their eyes immediately turned red.

Everyone knows that Longshui County in Gannan is extremely rich, otherwise where would they get the money to support an army of hundreds of thousands?

The War of Resistance Against Japan has been going on for two and a half years, and everyone has some idea of ​​the strength of the Gansu Army.

There were 120,000 troops in the Shanxi war zone, 40,000 in Chahar, and more than 40,000 troops in Henan and the militia.

The Zhejiang War Zone, including Zhao Changshan’s newly expanded troops, already has five divisions.

I believe that Guan Zhan’s militia division in Jiangnan will soon have more than 100,000 troops.

There is also a Marine Brigade over there, which has long been expanded to the level of a division, with another 20,000 soldiers.

If we count the 60,000 troops stationed on the border between Gansu and Shaanxi, besieging northern Shaanxi...

Although the current national army has the problem of drawing salaries without doing anything and spending money excessively.

In addition, many of the teams were expanded from local militias, and their combat effectiveness could not be guaranteed.

But no matter how seriously you take the number of people, there are already 400,000 troops on paper.

Even those old warlords, such as the Yunnan Army, the Guangxi Clique, and the Shanxi-Suiyuan Army, were no longer as powerful as the Gansu Army.

The attendant's office positioned Song Wenwan as having a main force of about 200,000 people.

The remaining troops should be in a similar situation to the Yunnan Army now, and they are all local militia organizations.

Because Song Wenwan has more artillery and cavalry, his logistics troops also account for a large proportion.

These data are calculated using other national army units as reference.

But the staff in the attendant's room were unaware of the situation.

The Gansu Army's artillery and logistics heavy troops not only have guns, but are also better at fighting than the average elite National Army troops.

So when this piece of fat meat was revealed, all the big guys present wanted to eat it.

Song Wenwan smiled and looked at everyone, who were introducing talents of the Party and the country to him.

"Thank you all for your kindness. As the Vice Chairman of Gansu Province, I still have a heavy burden.

The candidates you recommend must not only have ability in civil affairs, but also be physically strong.

Gansu is just a desolate place with high mountains, long roads and packs of wild wolves.

If you are not in good health, you will be tortured to death before you even reach Longshui."

Everyone, listen carefully. What do you, Song Wenwan, mean?

If the candidate for vice chairman is not to your liking, would you dare to feed him to the wolves?

This is exactly what Song Wenwan meant. If Minister Cheng is not allowed to go to Longshui County, no one will be able to take up a post in Longshui alive.

Don’t tell me you came here by plane and you are not afraid of the wild wolves in the Northwest. Believe it or not, I can shoot them down for you.

Or sending him to Lanzhou and letting him be a nominal vice chairman would not be a difficult task.

The finance minister, who has just arrived, has a much more flexible mind than theirs.

The war now is fought for money and food. There will be a big change at the end of March, so he, the money bag, has also been invited.

"Commander Song, maybe you already have a suitable candidate? Why not tell me so that we can discuss it together?"

This sentence really woke people up from their dreams, and everyone finally understood.

The financial and military expenditures of the temporary capital were already very tight.

Song Wenwan sent out 246 fighter jets at once.

Just for this achievement, the Capital Guards' Office has already been rewarded to the utmost.

It would be better to give in to Song Wenwan's wishes and give him a satisfactory vice-provincial governor position.

It turns out that Song Wenwan is waiting for us here! Bah, you little fox.

Song Wenwan said: "Actually, I do have three suitable candidates, but I just don't know who to invite."

The Minister of Finance asked, "Commander Song, please tell me who are the three suitable candidates?"

Song Wenwan said, "I think the old commander of the 18th Army is a master in internal affairs. How about you?"

The Minister of Defense immediately objected, "You are so bold, you even dare to ask him to leave, that won't do.

His Sixth War Zone has 300,000 troops under his command, guarding the gateway to Sichuan, and the responsibility is heavy.

This person is definitely not suitable, you should find someone else."

When this person brought up this idea, everyone suddenly felt relieved.

Although Song Wenwan had some connection with that person, that person had helped Song Wenwan and said good things about her.

But he is a confidant of the higher-ups and the most authentic member of the central army, the so-called most legitimate of the legitimate troops.
