Chapter 52: Killing Without Saying

"Dear, we succeeded! Twenty minutes ago, the four 30,000-ton tankers we arranged arrived at the predetermined position. They successfully exploded and sank through timed and directional blasting and other methods, blocking almost the entire river road."

Feng Manna excitedly rushed into Wu Siren's arms with the newly deciphered telegram.

Wu Siren received the telegram happily, nodded with satisfaction after reading it carefully, and said excitedly: "Now I feel relieved. There is no threat from the water. I have enough confidence to teach Japan a painful lesson in Jinling City. By the way, have the crew escaped successfully?"

Feng Manna stayed in Wu Siren's arms, nodded, and said softly: "The submarine is already carrying them back to Nanyang."

Wu Siren said with some emotion: "The country has no coastal defense, so it can only be beaten passively, but the century-old navy is not a joke. In the short term, we cannot train qualified naval personnel, so we can only use this opportunistic method to reduce the threat of the enemy navy."

"That's why you spend so much money every year, sending so many people to Germany and the American navy to study, aren't you afraid that the money will be wasted? After all, we have no place to maintain the navy."

Feng Manna knew that her man was great, but he didn't think Wu Siren had the opportunity to become the leader of China.

"Only my father and Yanzhi knew about this matter before. Now you have become my woman, so you have the right to participate in it. In the future, I will build a country where the descendants of Yan and Huang are the masters of their own affairs!"

Wu Siren took a pen and drew a big circle somewhere in Nanyang.

"No wonder you sent so many people here! My dear, I will do my best to help you."

Feng Manna's eyes shone inexplicably, but she had no power and ambitions, but there was no woman in this world who didn't want her man to reach the top and was so heroic.

The scorching sun is in the sky, even in northern China, even if there are wars everywhere, people can still feel the heat and anxiety of the scorching heat.

Jinling, Presidential Palace Conference Hall.

Although it was almost 1:00 p.m., the strategic layout meeting for Songhu still had no intention of ending.

During the meeting, after consulting the participants, Lao Jiang clarified the deployment and leadership of the entire battle.

Feng Huanzhang was the commander-in-chief of the battle (later he was also appointed by Chiang Kai-shek), and Gu Zhutong was the deputy commander-in-chief.

The troops were divided into three routes, left, middle and right.

The commander-in-chief of the right-wing army, Zhang Xianghua, is under the jurisdiction of the Eighth Army (Commander Zhang Xianghua is also serving), the 10th Army (Commander Liu Jianxu); the commander-in-chief of the Central Army, Zhu Yimin, is under the jurisdiction of the Ninth Army (Commander Zhang Wenbai, later Zhu Yimin is also serving), the 21st Army (Commander Liao Lei); the commander-in-chief of the left-wing army, Chen Cixiu, is under the jurisdiction of the 19th Army (Commander Xue Boling), and the 15th Army (Commander Luo Youqing).

In addition, the Third Regiment of the Tax Police General Regiment, which was deployed in Hangzhou Bay, was directly commanded by the General Staff. This was why Chiang Kai-shek was afraid that others would cause trouble for Wu Siren. As for Wu Siren, he still led the rest of the Tax Police General Regiment to guard Jinling. The veteran was also afraid that the war would suddenly change. The troops he invested in became the defeated army warned by Wu Siren, and Chiang completely regarded Wu Siren as a general preparing to put out the fire.

Just as a group of national defense committee members stood up and Chiang Kai-shek was about to announce the end of the meeting, Xu Yanmou, director of the Second Department of the General Staff, stepped in and came to Chiang Kai-shek who was sitting in the middle of the rostrum, and hurriedly handed over the telegram.

After reading it, Lao Jiang changed his expression and calmly announced the meeting. Then he kept Chen Cixiu, He Jingzhi, Bai Jiansheng, Wu Siren and other confidant generals. Except for Wu Siren who knew it, the others also knew that an emergency must have occurred.

"Just half an hour ago, the envoys from various countries to China went to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs to investigate the crime. Minister Wang's desk was overturned by the angry English ambassador. Now the Ministry of Foreign Affairs is in chaos, and the envoys from various countries are very angry. We must give an explanation." Xu Yanmou said loudly.

He Jingzhi's eyes rolled and he asked quickly: "Yan Mou, do you know what made envoys from various countries so angry?"

Xu Yanmou explained: "For some reason, the ambassadors of various countries directly accused the Chinese government of using four giant tankers to block the main channel of the Yangtze River, causing large merchant ships to no longer pass through the Yangtze River estuary, causing extremely heavy economic losses to various countries. Envoys from various countries have asked our government to send salvage ships from now on. No matter what method is used, the Yangtze River shipping must be resumed as soon as possible. All economic losses during this period will be compensated by the government."

Everyone looked at each other, and Wu Siren also pretended to be very surprised. Old Jiang looked very ugly and looked at Xu Yanmou and asked, "Yan Mou, do you know what's going on?"

Xu Yanmou shook his head and said, "I am now mainly responsible for the battle situation information in North China, and Director Chen is now responsible for monitoring the Shencheng."

As soon as Xu Yanmou finished speaking, Chen Xunen, deputy secretary-general of the National Defense Commission, had already walked in quickly.

After Chen Xunen hurried to Lao Chiang in a Zhongshan suit, he sent a telegram with both hands and explained: "Chairman, this is the preliminary investigation result. The four cruise ships were originally under the name of the Indonesian branch of Rockefeller Group, but were later purchased by a local Chinese businessman in Brazil. I don't know why I came to Shencheng and sank at the estuary of the Yangtze River."

Lao Jiang received the telegram, and after reading it carefully, cursed: "My grandma! The registered countries of the four cruise ships are America. Why should we be responsible? The blockage of the Yangtze River channel is also very unfavorable to our transportation. Who would do such a thing that harms others and does not benefit ourselves?"

He Jingzhi looked at Wu Siren and half-jokingly said, "The Moran family is very powerful in North America. You can't do this!"

At this time, Lao Jiang also turned his attention to Wu Siren, his expression very intriguing.

Wu Siren said in a stern voice: "Chief Staff He, you can eat randomly, but you have to tell evidence when you speak, otherwise I will sue you for slander. Although our Wu family is rich, it is not caused by the strong wind. We will not use tens of millions of dollars to do such thankless things."

Seeing that Wu Siren was solemn, the others gave up their suspicion of him after considering it. Only Lao Jiang still did not let go.

After lunch, Lao Jiang called Wu Siren to the office and closed the door and asked, "Moran, why did the department tell me about this in advance?"

"Uncle, you still think that I did this, I'm wronged! Even if I want to do it, my father wouldn't give me so much money!" Wu Siren shouted.

Lao Jiang looked at Wu Siren suspiciously and asked again and again: "It's really not what you did?"

"It's really not me!" Wu Siren hesitated for a moment and whispered: "But I guess it's very likely that it was sent by Situ Xianyi, chairman of the China Democratic League of San Francisco. When I was in North America, I talked to him about the anti-Japanese war. At that time, he asked me how to prevent the threat from the Japanese Navy, and I told him that it would be better to use some ships to block the estuary of the Yangtze River."

"You! Why dare you say anything? Okay, I'll let the Ministry of Foreign Affairs push this matter to the Chinese in Brazil and let all countries look for the Brazilian government! Remember, keep your mouth shut to the outside world."

Lao Chiang did not believe all of Wu Siren's words, but blocking the Yangtze River Estuary would be beneficial to the battle, so Lao Chiang was not ready to investigate it in depth.

"Yes! I can't say a word to the outside world!"
