After graduating from Huangpu, he rose to prominence as a regiment leader.

"Five is just my initial plan. With the New First Army retaking Fengtian and the Kwantung Army being held back by external forces, we still have enough time to develop."

"Based on our current expansion speed, we can reach 200,000 people in at most half a month. Do you still think this is too much?" Qin Feng said in a deep voice.

There is no shortage of brave men in the three provinces of Guandong who are dedicated to saving the country and fighting bravely against the Japanese invaders. The first fire has been lit, and it is only a matter of time before it spreads.

"okay!"

"Immediately, the New First Army will be expanded again and become the New First Army. On the basis of the existing command system, a Land Warfare Department will be established, which will be under the jurisdiction of five army groups, each with a general staff and a corps department."

"The Army Headquarters is responsible for appointments and transfers, and the General Staff issues combat missions."

Qin Feng slowly scanned the entire audience.

Everyone immediately stood up and said in unison: "Yes! Commander!"

"Zhou Weiguo!"

"exist!"

"The Marine Department has decided to appoint Zhou Weiguo as the commander-in-chief of the First Army!"

"The First Army will integrate the various divisions and independent brigades and complete the reorganization as soon as possible to complete the combat units with coordinated operations of multiple arms such as infantry, various armored forces, artillery, communications, and rocket forces!"

"The army group has established a headquarters and is directly under the jurisdiction of the Marine Warfare Department!"

"Yes!" Zhou Weiguo suddenly stood at attention, straightened his back and said loudly.

He really didn't expect that after becoming a division commander, he could actually make another leap forward!

It is indeed nice to take shelter under a big tree, and following Qin Feng was the right choice he made!

"Ding Wei!"

"To!"

"The Marine Department has decided to appoint Ding Wei as the commander-in-chief of the Second Army!"

"The specific combat division shall be based on the First Army Group!"

"Yes! Commander-in-Chief!" Ding Wei was very understanding and directly changed the title to a new one.

"Li Yunlong!"

"To!"

"..."

As the appointments were issued one after another, the only sounds in the entire conference room were loud responses.

Just as the appointment was coming to an end, a voice suddenly rang out from outside.

"report!"

"An urgent telegram from inside the country!" Zhao Gang walked in hurriedly.

"That's it for now, you all go down." Qin Feng waved at everyone.

After everyone left, Qin Feng asked, "What's going on?"

"Report to the commander, this is a telegram from Bai Chongxi!"

"Bai Chongxi?" Qin Feng frowned slightly.

Wang Ke on the side was also a little confused: "Commander, it seems that we are not familiar with Bai Chongxi?"

As far as she knew, even after the commander went north to the mountain city, he only met that person once.

Although Bai Chongxi did not belong to the Whampoa clique, he also held a very high status among a series of generals.

Just from this time, Shancheng mobilized troops to the north, and when there was a shortage of troops, he also let Bai Chongxi lead his troops to the north to fill the vacancy. This shows that the other party is also very important in that person's heart.

"Well, what did Bai Chongxi say?" Qin Feng asked.

"Just two words, Tianjin!" Zhao Gang reported in a deep voice.

Wang Ke was stunned when he heard this: "Commander, are you playing a trick on us?"

"I'm not playing tricks. This telegram and this person are a little difficult to explain." Qin Feng shook his head and said meaningfully.

The other party's reputation is well-known, and his military talent and other aspects are rare in the Xia Kingdom.

However, this person is very selfish and tries every possible way to consolidate his position.

Of course, he was still outclassed in terms of political intrigue.

Let’s put one thing aside. Now, Bai Chongxi seems to be preparing to make contact with their New First Army?

"Tianjin..." Qin Feng chewed on the two words slowly.

Just analyzing these two words, we can't tell anything, but combined with the analysis of the places where Bai Chongxi's troops were transferred, it becomes quite interesting.

Tianjin is not only Du Yuming’s designated garrison location, but also Bai Chongxi’s!

If Xue Yue goes to the first line of defense, then Du Yuming's troops will go to the north city area.

Tianjin was under the management of Bai Chongxi.

"Commander, do you mean that Bai Chongxi may not strictly follow Shancheng's orders?"

After hearing what Qin Feng said, Wang Ke was a little surprised.

She really didn't realize that according to this statement, Bai Chongxi seemed to be expressing goodwill to them?

"It is very likely that if the New First Army is really defeated and needs to retreat into the interior, neither Xue Yue nor Du Yuming will let us retreat."

"From what he said, Tianjin may become our only channel." Qin Feng licked his lips and analyzed.

"But what does he want?" Wang Ke was a little puzzled.

It is impossible for Xue Yue and Du Yuming to let the New 1st Army retreat back to the interior. If they really reach that situation, they can only start a war if they want to go back!

But this is the last resort. After all, at a time like this, whoever takes action first will lose his moral integrity and will also be accused of destroying unity. No one can bear such a big accusation.

However, Bai Chongxi's telegram had a great effect.

But the question is, no matter what, this doesn't seem to have anything to do with Bai Chongxi's interests, right?

"It's not clear whether he wants to show goodwill or win us over, or whether he wants to plot against the New First Army."

“But I can only say that even if the New First Army really reaches that day, it will not be able to survive in Tianjin.” Qin Feng narrowed his eyes.

Bai Chongxi had made all sorts of calculations, but he could only predict that the New 1st Army would be defeated, so the most likely course of action was to gather himself together and give himself a way out.

But the New First Army could not be defeated, and would not retreat back to the interior in disgrace.

In Qin Feng's hands, there is only one possibility - to open up a blocked road!

"Old Zhao! Is there any situation with the Japanese invaders in the Central Plains war zone that I asked you to pay special attention to?" Qin Feng looked at Zhao Gang standing beside him and asked.

"Commander-in-Chief, there is indeed something unusual!"

"It seems that the devils in the entire Central Plains war zone have received orders and are gathering in secret!"

"Their actions are very small, and there is no sign of them preparing to start a war," Zhao Gang replied.

"What about internationally?"

"No, but we intercepted two encrypted telegrams from the Kwantung Army Headquarters."

"Two encrypted telegrams?" Qin Feng couldn't help but frown.

"Yes! One of the letters is from the Japanese Marine Corps, and the other one is still uncertain." Zhao Gang answered truthfully.

"What's the content of the telegram?"

"Commander-in-chief, with our current technical means, we are still unable to decipher it. I am already trying to find a way." Zhao Gang shook his head helplessly.

This is the limit of what he can do.

After all, for encrypted telegrams, each unit has its own set of code books, and you must get the other party’s code book to successfully decipher it.

Otherwise, it would be very difficult to decipher it with just the technical skills he has.

"Once the content is deciphered, report to me immediately!" Qin Feng nodded.

"Yes! Commander-in-Chief."

Zhao Gang responded in a deep voice.
