Kuoqingsheng turned around and went to Huang Botao, greeted Huang Botao's mother bait to sit opposite him, and then said: "Brother Huanran, don't be surprised, Brother Kuo and I are old friends for more than ten years, and we never distinguish ourselves..."

Huang Botao quickly said, "I have heard of it there. The Chairman has a good relationship with his classmates from both parties in Huangpu."

Zhuang Jihua couldn't help but shake his head. Huang Botao really doesn't know how to speak. The two classmates have a good relationship. This is a good thing or a sarcastic word. I'm afraid that someone will feel ambiguity.

"Brother Huanran. Let's continue talking." Zhuang Jihua picked up the topic interrupted by Zeng Kuoqing. Zeng Kuowen's affairs were simple. He explained it clearly in a few words, but Huang Botao's affairs were much more complicated.

"Although your position is the commander of the combat department of the battalion, the battalion has no combat tasks at present. Your main job is to train a new army. The military command gave the number, the Order Army, organized into two divisions, three brigades in each division, and three regiments of each brigade, with a total force of 30,000 troops. But I want to tell you that except for the number, this army has nothing at present, no soldiers, no officials, no guns, but you have to build the skeleton of the troops within one month and fill them up within three months. If you have any requirements, I will approve them for you now."

Before Zeng Kuang's situation came in, the conversation between Zhuang Jihua and Huang Botao focused on the deployment of the Fifth War Zone. Jiang Dingwen revised Zhuang Jihua's deployment. Jiang Dingwen believed that the main attack direction of the Japanese army should be concentrated on the front line of Shangqiu. The Dabie Mountains area was complex and it was beneficial to defend but not good at attack. The Japanese army would not choose here. Therefore, the 36th Army transferred the northward direction, leaving only the 102nd Army and the 2nd Preparatory Division to defend the Dabie Mountains. In addition, Li Zongren transferred the 21st Army to the First War Zone on the grounds that the enemy situation in the First War Zone was tense, and the fifth War Zone was further weakened.

Of course, Zhuang Jihua thought it was wrong for all the arrangements, but he was not too worried. Once the Japanese offensive plan was determined, the support from the Gao Gao side would naturally inform him, and it would naturally be adjusted. He firmly believed that in the Wuhan war, the Japanese army's primary goal was to break the fifth war zone.

"By the way. Your military rank." Zhuang Jihua seemed to remember it, got up and walked back to the desk, opened the drawer and took out a box from it: "The Chairman believes that the rank of Colonel Cai, the Director of the Operations Department of the Southwest Camp, is inappropriate."

Huang Botao stood up with his body straight. Zhuang Jihua walked up to him with a golden star and brushed the star on his shoulder.

"I will not hold a special promotion ceremony for you. When you make military achievements, you will make up for the title and the award ceremony together."

"I am ashamed of my humble position. Huang Botao replied loudly, he was a little confused. Why did he promote him to major general at this time? He was not promoted to the commander of the 41st Division when he was not promoted, but now he has no achievements, but his military rank has been promoted, which makes him a little confused. After Zhuang Jihua gave him a new military rank, he hesitated and finally Ran said.

"Sir. I don't understand."

Zhuang Jihua waved his hand and smiled, "It's nothing, you will understand from now on."

This was Chiang Kai-shek's old method. Although he agreed to Zhuang Jihua's request, he would give his kindness first and win over people's hearts. In Zhuang Jihua's view, it was normal for Huang Botao to be a professional soldier to not respond quickly enough in this regard.

Huang Botao calmed down and his thoughts returned to Zhuang Jihua's request. He was suddenly overwhelmed by huge difficulties: "Sir, I can't do it all three months, I have nothing now, I have a bare pole. How to do it?"

"I have transferred some old soldiers from the Forty-Ninth Army and the Twenty-Fourth Army, and some of them were wounded soldiers who were injured in the hospital. They were all kidnapped by me. The total number is about 600. You have been in the army for so many years, so you should have a few friends. You can open a list and I am responsible for asking for people. In short, you have to put on the shelves within one month, and I will see one in three months. The whole army is full, and the army." Zhuang Jihua did not give in at all.

"Who is the commander? Why don't you let the commander come?" Huang Botao was still a little depressed, but Zhuang Jihua's answer made his heart move, and hope suddenly rose.

"The commander has not been decided yet. I haven't thought about it yet." Zhuang Jihua did not hide anything at all, and looked at Huang Botao meaningfully: "I have read your resume. You have been a division commander before, and you may be a commander. However, whether you can become a commander depends on whether you can become a commander. You are the first one, please look at it."

Huang Botao suddenly felt a sense of pride in his heart. He stood up and asked loudly: "If I complete the task, can I let me lead this army? I want to be the commander?"

"Well, it's understandable that the director is not as powerful as the commander, nor is he as powerful as the commander." Zhuang Jihua smiled and leaned back on the sofa, staring at Huang Botao.

"The chief misunderstood," Huang Botao replied loudly: "Huang is a soldier. He must fight for the first time in every war. However, when the war of resistance began, Huang failed to fight a war, which was a shame to the name of a soldier. I hope the chief can give me this opportunity."

Zhuang Jihua nodded and thought for a while, "I promise you to do my best to win this position as the commander of the army, but I don't guarantee that you can become the leader, is it clear?"

"I understand. Thank you, sir." Huang Botao was very excited. Who is Zhuang Jihua? The hot Huangpu direct descendant, who won three battles and three victories, defeated all the Japanese generals invading China, and was regarded as a god of war by the people. He agreed. Even if there is still uncertainty in his words and the commander cannot get it, the division commander will at least have no problem. "I am not familiar with it, I should start from that aspect. Ask the commander to point out the old Japanese generals of Xingha North. Huang Botao still feels unable to start.

"The instructor, local security headquarters, security team, go to various places to see," Zhuang Jihua said: "But don't just say you want them, write down the number, come back and hand it over to me, and I will come forward to it.

"Understood."

Huang Botao left excitedly. Zhuang Jihua looked at his back silently. He did not make a promise to Huang Botao because he vaguely felt that Chiang Kai-shek had a precaution against him and would no longer let go of him in terms of personnel appointments like before.

Even if the army commander gave Huang Botao, what about the two division commanders below? This is also a candidate that must be considered. Huang Botao is a miscellaneous brand, and Chiang Kai-shek would never agree that he would nominate the two division commanders.

After thinking for a long time, he rushed outside the door and shouted, "Secretary of the Palace."

Gong Xiuhua soon came to the house. Zhuang Jihua said to him calmly: "Prepare a report and ask the Ministry of Military Affairs for people, Xia Yanglin and Dai Anlan. I said I needed them to practice and serve as the division.

Xia Yanglin and Dai Anlan were both brigade commanders, so it was natural to be promoted to division commanders. Zhuang Jihua originally wanted to transfer Zhang Lingfu back, but he thought that the transfer of two war-going generals at the same time would probably make Lan Yundong embarrassed, so he only transferred one person. However, he also knew completely that these two people, especially Xia Yanglin, were definitely not people who abide by the rules, and would definitely bring some people back.

Xiuhua quickly drafted a telegram and handed it to Zhuang Jihua for signature. After Zhuang Jihua signed the letter, he looked up and said to Gong Xiuhua: "I notify Teacher Yan" that the Oral Army needs a group of officers. Is there any suitable one in the military academy?"

Gong Xiuhua smiled faintly. She had attended the Nanshan Conference. This was obviously not about asking for people from the military academy, but about Deng Yanda, if there are anyone, now is an opportunity to control the army.

In the golden autumn October, it is a busy harvest season. The fourth grain control gradually takes shape, and the decline in grain prices has led to the decline of other prices. This inspired Deng Hanxiang, Ma Yinchu and others, and they immediately announced the second batch of controlled materials, cloth, salt, and umbrella oil.

At the same time, Kong Xiangxi finally approved the establishment of a stock exchange in Chengdu. Then Ma Yinchu summoned seven large banks including Development Bank, Industrial and Commercial Bank of China, including Bank of China, and each sold 5 million legal currency to become shareholders of the stock exchange. The securities trading rules were announced, and the first batch of listed companies began to be brewed.

The 24th Army finally met with Liu Wenhui, and Liu Wenhui continued to advance towards Lhasa. The situation in Lhasa was already eased and became nervous again. The British Consulate in Chengdu asked to see Zhuang Jihua and asked him to order the 24th Army to stop advancing. Otherwise, the British Empire would never sit idly by.

"First of all, ** is Chinese territory. All activities of the Chinese government in ** are China's internal affairs, and the British government has no right to interfere; secondly, I really want to see how the British government will not sit still; I am very curious about this. I don't know if India has two armies. If not, I would be happy to lead two armies to help the British government defend India."

After Zhuang Jihua played with the consul, he drove him out of the office. His words stunned Deng Hanxiang and others. This very rude diplomatic tone was only revealed in Western diplomats. Those who heard that these were Chinese diplomats.

"The Cultural Revolution is too rude and will cause diplomatic disputes." Han Xiang said worriedly. After all, the most important thing now is to resist the Japanese attack. The peripheral war in Wuhan is about to begin. This decisive battle is related to the future of the War of Resistance. There is no need to anger the British.

"It's okay" Zhuang Jihua said nothing, and his tone was very disdainful: "The British are just a piece of tiger, who is strong on the outside and do it at the middle. Ou Qun is still too busy with things and is still staring at us. He is really fantastic and he is not afraid of dying."

"It's not necessary, it means our attitude, it's absolutely unnecessary." Han Xiang murmured to himself, and walked out with a wry smile. There have been legends in Nanjing officialdom. Zhuang Jihua looked down on the British very much. He thought it was a legend, but now it seems that it is a real thing. I really don't know where his confidence comes from.

Zhuang Jihua's voice sounded behind him: "It's not that it's unnecessary, it's very cold. An island country has been in full bloom for hundreds of years, and it's enough. They probably haven't realized that the era of the Empire of the Sun never set is over. Besides, no matter how I humiliate them, they still have to stand with us in the end to beat the Japanese. This is determined by interests, not attitude."

After the Battle of Poland, the main force of the German army moved westward, Britain and France were under tremendous pressure. There were not many troops in the UK that could assemble. The garrisons of various colonials began to move towards the local area. The situation in the Far East was fine. The Middle East and Canada formed troops to go to Britain and North Africa. They did not have enough strength to interfere with everything that happened.

In early November, Zhuang Jihua arranged everything about the four-year war zone and began to inspect the jurisdiction of the Southwest Camp, forcibly implementing food control measures in Guizhou, Yunnan.

It was at this time that Nishiji, the 11th Army, commanded the Navy to attack Anqing'an with the assistance of the Navy, and the Battle of Wuhan began.
