Time travel! Regrets will never happen again!

With the appearance of the powerful military force of the 78th Armored Division at the border between the Central Plains and Hubei Province, the National Army in the First War Zone was actually not so bad, after all, they had the friendship with General Wei Lihuang and the th Army Group.

But the commander of the Japanese 23rd Army, Takashi Sakai, was terrified. China's most powerful combat force suddenly moved south and appeared on the border of Hubei Province.

What are they planning to do? Although there are rumors outside, the 78th Army is sending troops to help refugees return home.

Of course, they are indeed accepting a large number of refugees. According to intelligence from the Special High Police, nearly 700 million refugees have returned to the Central Plains in just two months.

They have newly established a disaster relief and production recovery committee in the northern part of Zhongyuan Province, and the area controlled by this committee covers almost most of the northern region.

Under the powerful military force of the 78th Group Army, local governments in the north had no choice but to cooperate.

Originally, some people were planning to take advantage of the situation and reap benefits from the supplies allocated by the Disaster Relief Committee, but later news came that a large number of local tyrants, officials, and even military generals in Zhongyuan Province had embezzled money and grain.

They were all arrested and executed by the 78th Group Army. Three major generals and one lieutenant general were shot. Of course, many local government officials were also brought down.

As for the local tyrants and evil gentry, they were almost wiped out, and countless heads of officials were killed in the entire Central Plains Province.

Not only were the Japanese nervous, but the Nationalist government was also having a hard time.

"Assholes! Who do these guys think they are? How dare they ignore the central government and shoot and try government officials at will? Are they planning to split the country and start a local separatist movement to seize territory?"

At a grand meeting of the Executive Yuan of the National Government, a group of old guys were so excited that they banged the tables in front of them. Most of them had suffered heavy losses in the recent purge.

Originally, they regarded Guan Censhan and the disaster relief team as their ATMs, but now not only have they lost the benefits, their own influence in Zhongyuan Province has also been liquidated.

However, they had no self-awareness and instead thought that the 78th Army was too overbearing and would not give them a chance to survive.

One of the old guys stood up and shouted with a face full of grief and anger: "I beg the central government to send troops to wipe out these rebels! Otherwise, the country will fall into chaos and we will all die in the hands of these rebels!"

The other old guys echoed, "That's right! We must send troops to wipe them out!"

Hearing this, the senior military officers showed a trace of disdain on their faces. They secretly muttered in their hearts: "Send troops to wipe out? You guys who only know how to embezzle and corrupt are qualified to talk about this topic?"

In their eyes, these so-called high-ranking figures are nothing but a group of selfish, greedy parasites who do not deserve sympathy or support at all.

They wear fancy clothes and pretend to be good people, but in fact they are the scum of society.

Who will eradicate it? What will they use to eradicate it? Just rely on the words of you hypocrites?

These people shouted for a long time, but found that a group of military generals and real bigwigs did not respond at all. Many military generals even looked at them as if they were idiots.

This made them feel very angry and dissatisfied, and they felt greatly insulted.

These old guys immediately became excited, and some of them stood up and asked loudly: "What exactly is the current rule of the Executive Yuan? Are we just going to watch those guys plunder the Central Plains?"

His voice was filled with anger and unwillingness, as if he wanted to vent all the resentment in his heart.

Others also echoed and expressed their dissatisfaction with the government's inaction. They believed that the government should take more proactive and effective measures to deal with the current situation instead of sitting idly by.

At this moment, the originally quiet conference room suddenly became noisy, as bustling as a vegetable market.

The emotions of the congressmen were instantly ignited. They waved the documents in their hands excitedly, their voices became louder and louder, and the order on the scene fell into chaos.

Many lawmakers even disregarded their image and took off their shoes and threw them at the podium to express their inner anger and dissatisfaction.

"Everyone, be quiet! Be quiet!" Faced with this sudden change, the Premier had to use all his skills to appease these excited lawmakers.

However, his efforts did not seem to have much effect, and the lawmakers were still too excited to calm down.

"Dean! We strongly demand that we send troops to wipe out these bandits! I want to see if Wang Qingzhi really has the courage to confront the Party and the country!"

An elderly congressman stood up tremblingly and spoke indignantly. His words resonated with other congressmen, and they all echoed and expressed their support for the decision to send troops.

Then, another congressman stood up and pointed the finger at Deputy Chief of Staff Chen: "Deputy Chief of Staff Chen! We need your military to give a reasonable explanation! Why didn't the First War Zone take any action against the 78th Army who left their base without the Military Commission's order and headed to Zhongyuan Province?"

His questioning made everyone present focus their attention on Deputy Chief of Staff Chen, expecting him to give a satisfactory answer.

"Excuse me? Can the National Army now ignore the Party discipline and national laws? Why did the National Army in the First War Zone just watch their colleagues and comrades being ruthlessly killed?"

Another congressman stood up and questioned in a serious tone. His words were like a bombshell, arousing public anger again.

The atmosphere in the conference room became increasingly tense, and everyone became increasingly excited, and the situation was out of control at one point.

Chen Cheng, who had just been promoted to Deputy Chief of Staff a few days ago, was now covered in cold sweat. He was extremely nervous and didn't know how to deal with the situation.

Faced with the questioning of the congressmen, Chen Cheng felt very embarrassed. Although he knew the truth clearly, he could not say it easily.

After all, this involves the reputation and image of the military. However, concealing the facts does not seem to be a good option either.

In fact, most people within the military knew that this defeat was not something to be ashamed of.

The key point is that they really cannot compete with the 78th Army, although now, after a period of reorganization and training, the First War Zone has regained nearly troops.

But in fact, there were less than eight divisions that could actually be put into combat, and most of the members of these troops were former Kuomintang troops in the Second War Zone who had fought with the 78th Army in Shanxi Province.

It would be simply a fantasy to ask them to fight against the armored division of the 78th Army again.

It is no exaggeration to say that as long as their superiors issued such an order, they would be tied up by their soldiers in the blink of an eye and sent directly to the 78th Army.

So, why is this the case? The reason is simple - the gap in strength between the two sides is too big.

In terms of both equipment and combat effectiveness, the 78th Army was far superior to them.

In this case, who would be willing to die in vain? Therefore, the soldiers would naturally make the most sensible choice.
