Chapter 42 The wind is rising

When Wu Siren got off the car, he was sent by Lao Jiang to take him to the "Meilu" villa.

The villa was built in 1903 by Lord Lannos of England. It is reported that all the materials for the construction of the villa were airlifted from Europe. In 1933, the owner of the house, Barley, gave it to Lao Jiang.

After that, whenever the old Jiang and his wife went to Lushan for a summer vacation, they would live here. Since the interior of the villa was full of Western style, Chiang Kai-shek was very disliked. So Chiang spent money to renovate it, and the renovation cost nearly one million US dollars. The luxury inside can be imagined.

After Wu Siren entered the villa, he was taken directly to the balcony.

Lao Jiang looked at the green mountains in the distance and said expressionlessly: "Did you do the Fengtai thing?"

Wu Siren said respectfully: "Yes, uncle, I did it in the name of Zhang Hanqing's Northeast Army. On the one hand, I wanted to cause some trouble for Zhang Hanqing and vent my anger for his uncle. On the other hand, I also wanted to make some dirty things happen to the Japanese and Song Mingxuan. Who made him not obey the central orders and just compromise with the Japanese."

Because the Lixing Society led by Dai Chunfeng has begun to take shape and is omnipresent, Wu Siren did not think about deceiving Chiang Kai-shek when he was attacking Fengtai.

Lao Jiang turned around and pretended to scold, "You, why are you so impulsive? Be patient for a while and calm the waves, and take a step back and the sky is wide open."

Wu Siren pretended to be taught and said, "It's my nephew who was wrong. He shouldn't be emotional. I hope my uncle will forgive me and don't get angry."

Lao Jiang was very satisfied with Wu Siren's attitude and asked, "What are you going to deal with this batch of arms?"

"Of course it's up to my uncle, but my nephew believes that it's best not to assign a plagiarism before the war begins, so as not to give Japan a solid argument." Wu Siren said firmly.

Lao Jiang thought for a while, thought about the interests, nodded and said, "You are right, you will be in charge for the time being. You can't give any excuses to the Japanese."

"But I guess Song Mingxuan will be difficult. So many arms were robbed, and the Japanese will definitely cause trouble for him. By then, he will never be able to make peace with the Japanese." Wu Siren said gloatingly.

As soon as Wu Siren finished speaking, Chiang suddenly started to curse with excitement: "Song Mingxuan's mind is full of grass. I sent Liu Jingfu to supervise him to prepare for the war, but he was still holding his knife around his neck. He didn't hurry up and prepare. He did not obey the orders of the Central Military Commission and mobilized the entire army to enter the state of war. Instead, he brought a group of boneless pro-Japanese politicians to Tianjin for negotiations. Now the two divisions of the Kwantung Army have approached the front line of the Great Wall, and tens of thousands of Japanese troops have also entered Tianjin. The coast of Linyu to Jiaoao was blocked by dozens of Japanese Navy warships. It was already a dagger to see. He still ignored the orders of the Military Commission and myself, and still held the fantasy of peaceful negotiations. It was simply foolish."

Wu Sairen sighed and comforted: "Uncle, don't be angry, Song Mingxuan is no longer up to him. We need to prepare for the future. What I worry most now is that Japan will launch an attack from Shencheng. The area here is narrow, with dense water nets and swamps everywhere, and there is no room for maneuver. It is not conducive to the battle of the large corps. Once it fights, it will be very disadvantageous for us."

"Time is too tight. Even if I have another year of preparation time, as long as the German and military masters are trained, I will dare to compete with the Japanese." Old Jiang said helplessly.

Wu Siren suggested again: "Uncle, I still advocate retreating to Suzhou and Jiaxing. We have no control over the sea power, lure the enemy into depth, avoid its edge, and wipe out the invading enemy in the inland!"

After a while, Jiang Jiang was silent, he finally expressed his thoughts to Wu Siren: "Shencheng is not only a major city in China, but also an international metropolis. If he lets go easily, it will definitely make the European and American powers lose confidence in the national government. Therefore, once Japan starts war here, we must fight.

Shencheng implicates the interests of all countries in China, and Western powers will definitely intervene when they start a war here. At that time, we will use fighting to promote peace. As long as major European and American powers mediate, we can temporarily resolve the dispute with Japan, and then accumulate energy and wait for the right time to fight with Japan."

Wu Siren was not persuading him. He had completely given up hope for Lao Jiang, so he had to say: "Uncle, I hope you can let my troops garrison near Jinshan Guard in Hangzhou Bay."

Lao Jiang smiled and said, "It's rare that you have the courage to ask for battle, so I will hand over this area to your tax police team."

Chiang Kai-shek did not pay attention to Hangzhou Bay because he believed that the Japanese army would definitely attack the front of Shencheng with all its might and would not have the possibility of landing from Hangzhou Bay. Letting Wu Siren station here is also to preserve the strength of the direct troops.

The incident of the robbery of Fengtai's arms spread throughout the world in just one day. Before the war began, the Japanese lost face in front of the European and American powers, which also made Japan very angry. They sent a large number of intelligence personnel to snatch out the Chinese army that snatched the arms.

Zhang Hanqing was shot for no reason, but he did not make excuses. He was already burdened with national hatred and family grudges, and forcibly explaining it would weaken morale.

Now that Zhang Hanqing has completely turned to Yanzhou, he has become a comrade in his comrade. The Red Party does not want the Northeast Army to bear the "great" of attacking Fengtai, and has activated underground personnel within the government and began to investigate who was doing such a major case.

Zheng Yaoxian inspected the surroundings and found that there was no situation, then he calmly walked into Lu Hanqing's pharmacy.

"Sir, I'm here. I've prepared your donkey-hide gelatin. Please come and check it."

Lu Hanqing asked his friend to stare at the front desk, and enthusiastically took Zheng Yaoxian to the backyard.

"What I asked me to investigate in my hometown is a bit confusing. It is probably done by Wu Siren's Tax Police Corps."

Zheng Yao first took a sip of the hot tea brought by Lu Hanqing and whispered.

"Can you be sure?" Lu Hanqing asked.

"There is no way to be sure. Since Wu Siren took over, the Tax Police Corps has been independent of the Military Commission and is only responsible to Chiang Kai-shek. There are no personnel in the Lixing Society, so I can't find out the specific staffing. However, the Tax Police Corps has a special combat brigade trained by Wu Siren himself. I guess this is probably done by this elite team."

In fact, Zheng Yaoxian only inferred the conclusions based on Wu Siren's personal itinerary during this period, and there is no actual evidence.

"Is this special forces really that powerful?"

It was hard for Lu Hanqing to believe that the National Government would have such a strong army. He always believed that the strongest army in the National Government was a team like the German Division.

"Do you know who the leaders and generals of this team are? Su Wenqian and Chi Tiecheng, I also checked on the list of the internal army of Lixing Society. You are not unfamiliar with these two people!" Zheng Yaoxian said seriously.

"You once told me that Wu Siren once wanted to train a group of teams that perform special combat missions. It wouldn't be this special team!" Lu Hanqing asked.

Zheng Yaoxian sighed and replied: "Ninety-nine, at the Wuhu base, about ten people, including me, were just his experimental products. From this, you can imagine how strong this army is. Only such a team can sneak into Fengtai quietly and cooperate with the large army to rob the arms reserved by the Japanese."

"No matter whether Wu Siren led people to do the Fengtai matter, we must report the situation of this special forces to our hometown. Next, we must check the specific organization and training methods of this special forces. This is the key thing." Lu Hanqing said nervously.

"I'll try my best! I hope I won't alarm the snake."
