Three days later, the Northeast Frontier Defense Force dispatched a total of more than 70,000 troops. With the cooperation of local militia and security teams in various provinces and counties, they launched a lightning attack on hundreds of bandit lairs, large and small, in the four provinces.

With careful early reconnaissance by the reconnaissance battalion and intelligence support, the anti-bandit forces in each province are making very smooth progress.

No matter how fierce the bandits are, their combat effectiveness cannot be compared with that of the well-equipped Northeastern border guards.

Basically, after a barrage of artillery fire, the bandit beards, who suffered heavy casualties, waved the white flag.

The bandit suppression operation lasted for more than half a month, and most of the large-scale bandits in the four provinces were wiped out.

Some of those who escaped by chance are being hunted down by militia and security forces and anti-bandit forces from various places.

In the past half a month, the 2nd and 3rd Divisions of the Tank and Armored Independent Army were ordered to station in Tongliao and Jinzhou respectively.

It has greatly improved the combat effectiveness of the Northeast Army west of Liaoning and Jilin, especially in the direction of Shanhaiguan and Jehol. These two tank and armored forces are definitely strategic deterrent forces.

In the headquarters, Jiang Baili was reporting to Zhang Xinghan on the results and progress of the anti-bandit forces.

In the past half month, Jiang Baili traveled back and forth between Rehe and Jilin no less than dozens of times. The counties in Rehe have basically returned to normal life, and the reorganization of the 210th garrison division has been successfully completed. The division commander has been replaced by the original

Sabli, commander of the cavalry brigade, also serves as the commander.

"Commander, so far, our paid troops from all provinces have wiped out more than 300 bandits, big and small, in the past half month, killing and wounding 7,892 stubborn bandits. All kinds of old items have been seized.

There are more than 5,000 guns and a batch of ammunition.

In addition, gold, silver, treasures, grain, cloth and other items were seized, with a total value of more than 58 silver dollars, of which 300,000 were used to pay for the grain that the anti-bandit forces received from local people.

80,000 silver dollars are used to reward meritorious soldiers and pensions for the families of martyrs who died heroically, and there are still 200,000 silver dollars left, which are currently being shipped to Jilin City."

After listening to Jiang Baili's report, Zhang Xinghan nodded slightly and said: "I am ordering all the troops to compensate the families of the fallen officers and soldiers. The pensions must be as large as possible and must be ensured. The remains of the fallen soldiers must be cremated and then all transported."

Come to Jilin and store it together with the Chinese Martyrs' Shrine in the future."

"Yes. I understand." Jiang Baili nodded solemnly.

At this moment, Guo Zhong walked in excitedly, holding a piece of telegram in his hand. When he saw Zhang Xinghan, he didn't have time to salute and said: "Commander, Miss Alice has called."

"Oh? What should I say? Zhang Xinghan suddenly became energetic after hearing this.

"See for yourself." Guo Zhong smiled and handed the message to Zhang Xinghan.

Zhang Xinghan walked two steps over and took the telegram in his hand. He hurriedly opened it and looked at it, and said with joy: "Great, Alice said, the first batch of equipment we need was shipped ten days ago.

It is expected to arrive at Lushun Military Port in a few days. With this batch of equipment, we can build our own fertilizer plant."

Jiang Baili also heard Zhang Xinghan talk about the role of chemical fertilizers. Apart from admiring Zhang Xinghan, he also looked forward to this kind of fertilizer that can increase grain production.

When Zhang Xinghan said the equipment was coming soon, he and Guo Zhong also shouted excitedly.

Continuing to look down, Zhang Xinghan said even more excitedly: "Alice also said that she also hired a group of technicians and workers for us. She has already paid the salary in advance. With them, we can help us as soon as possible."

Put it into production and help us train and train our own workers and technicians."

"Commander-in-Chief, Miss Alice really has nothing to say to you." Jiang Baili joked with a smile.

"Are you nice to me?" Zhang Xinghan pretended not to understand, and laughed: "Maybe it's because I saved her name? He should be repaying his kindness, yes, it must be like this."

Jiang Baili and Guo Zhong couldn't help laughing, their faces turned red while suppressing their laughter.

"Okay, don't hold it back, just laugh if you want." Zhang Xinghan shrugged helplessly and said: "How could I not know about Alice's friendship for me? It's just that I already have Ruoying, and I am already content.

I will never marry another woman, so she and I can only be very good friends."

Jiang Baili secretly admired Zhang Xinghua's words. With Zhang Xinghan's current reputation, identity, rights, and status, what kind of woman couldn't get it if she wanted it?

There are countless beautiful young socialites and female college students across the country who have been attracted to him for a long time and are vying to follow a national hero like General Zhang.

But he can always be consistent and choose just one flower among thousands of flowers. This is extremely difficult.

Although the phenomenon of men marrying three wives and four concubines at this time is no longer as common as before, it is not uncommon, especially for a powerful man like Zhang Xinghan. It would be extremely common for a man to marry several concubines.

.

What democracy, freedom? Equality between men and women? Everything becomes bullshit in the face of power and money.

In future generations, the red flag will not fall down at home, and there will be many people flying colorful flags outside.

Peiping, Marshal's Mansion.

"Young Marshal, Zhang Xinghan is conducting a massive and massive bandit suppression operation in the four northeastern provinces. He has mobilized no less than 100,000 troops and has basically wiped out more than 90% of the bandits in each province.

The public security environment in the four provinces outside the customs has been greatly improved.

At the same time, they are constantly trying to recruit new soldiers and expand their troops.

In terms of military deployment, Zhang Xinghan added two additional tank divisions to Jinzhou and Tongliao, with the obvious intention of deterring our army." Chief of Staff Rong Jin made a routine report to Marshal Zhang with frothing.

After hearing this, Marshal Zhang's pale face looked even more pale, almost bloodless. Ever since the feud with Zhang Xinghan happened, Marshal Zhang had hardly had a comfortable day.

In Northeastern dialect, she is always upset all day long, restless, has trouble sleeping and eating. In addition, she smokes heavily and frequently vents her depression on Miss Zhao Si.

Marshal Zhang's health has been deteriorating and he is not as good as before.

Like an old and decrepit person, he waved his hand towards Rong Zhen and signaled him to leave. Zhang Xiaoliu never said a word from the beginning to the end.

Rong Jin nodded understandingly and respectfully stepped out.

Miss Zhao Si, who looked haggard, walked in. She looked at Zhang Xiaoliu who was lying on the sofa as if he had lost his soul.

Miss Zhao Si was heartbroken. She squatted beside him, helped his handsome face with both hands, and said with tears rolling down her face: "Han Qing, please don't be so depressed, okay? Don't think about these troubles anymore, let's go to Europe together."

Travel, stay away from Beijing and Tianjin, stay away from the military. Spend every day happily in the future, do you think that’s okay?”

Before she finished speaking, Miss Zhao Si had already burst into tears and became a tearful person.

……………………

Nanjing, in the office of the Chairman of the Military Commission of the Nationalist Government, Bald Jiang, wearing glasses and a Chinese tunic suit, was reviewing documents.

His expression was very serious and meticulous.

In fact, Bald Jiang did not smoke, nor did he like to drink, and he was conscientious in government affairs. However, the current National Government is like a terminally ill old man, covered in diseases.

At this time, Bald Jiang was unable to clean out these moths that were destroying the foundation of the country, because he relied on these people to make his fortune. The interests of both parties had long been tied together.

Historical choices always have their own reasons. Even in this time and space, a corrupt National Government cannot last long.

They have long since broken away from the true Three People's Principles and become a group of dictators and exploiters who harm the country.

Back to business. Chairman Chiang was busy reviewing documents. At this time, there was a knock on the door outside.

"Please come in." Chairman Chiang said without raising his head.

The door was pushed open with a creak, and Dai Li, also wearing a Chinese tunic suit, walked in with his head held high.

The leather shoes clicked on the floor. When he reached him, Dai Li hurriedly stood up and saluted: "Commit your seat!"

"Well, Yunong, you're here. Sit down quickly." Chairman Jiang raised his head and looked at him, pointing solemnly at the sofa.

"You sit down for a while, I'll be finished in a while." After speaking, Chairman Jiang lowered his head and continued his work.

Dai Li sat upright on the sofa and waited silently for more than half an hour.

Chairman Jiang closed the document, raised his head and smiled apologetically: "I'm sorry for keeping you waiting, Yu Nong."

Dai Lichen said fearfully: "No, no, waiting for the principal is what students should do, and it is also their honor."

Chairman Chiang was very satisfied with Dai Li's success. He stood up, walked to the sofa, sat opposite Dai Li, and asked, "Why, do you have anything important to report?"

"Commander, I just received the news that Zhang Xinghan has been mobilizing troops frequently in recent times and is conducting what is called a large-scale bandit suppression operation in the four northeastern provinces.

And the results achieved are not very good, 95% of the bandits and robbers in the four northeastern provinces have been eliminated." Dai Li said.

"Oh? Zhang Xinghan is quite willing to spend a lot of money. Didn't his troops just go through several battles and their vitality is severely damaged? Do they still need to spare efforts to suppress the bandits?" Chairman Jiang was slightly surprised, with obvious disapproval in his tone.

"Commissioner, what the student wants to say is that Zhang Xinghan did this just to win over the people so that he could stay and take root in the Northeast for a long time in the future?

There is another thing, I found out that Zhang Xinghan asked people from Eastern Europe and the United States to buy a large number of unknown equipment!" Dai Li continued.

"What kind of large quantities of equipment? Find out quickly." As soon as Chairman Chiang heard about the unknown, he wanted to get angry.

"The ship responsible for the consignment is a British Royal Company ship. We have no right to search and cannot board the ship, so we don't know what is on the ship.

These fleets are currently in Hong Kong, and it is expected that they will head to the Northeast soon," Dai Li said.

"Principal, no matter what Zhang Xinghan bought, what this person did shows that he has ulterior motives. If it is not dealt with as soon as possible, it will become a serious problem for the party and the country in the long run."

Chairman Chiang did not give instructions immediately, but frowned and fell into deep thought.

After a long time, he asked Dai Li: "Yunong, if I ask you to get rid of Zhang Xinghan now, how sure are you?"

"I'm 90% sure of my humble position." Dai Li said confidently.

"I mean, let the outside world think that Zhang Xinghan died at the hands of one of our own people, instead of being suspected of being blamed on us, so that others can use it as an excuse to discredit us." Chairman Jiang said with an undoubted tone.

"In this case, it will be a bit troublesome, but if the commissioner agrees, I am willing to send our best agents to try." Dai Li said.

"Well, this is something you should think about carefully. Don't rush into action. What I want is flawless. Those who perform the task must be loyal to the party and the country. They must be able to sacrifice their lives at critical moments whether they succeed or fail.

Do you understand the people who are loyal to the party and the state?" Chairman Chiang said with profound meaning.

"Yes! Students understand." Dai Li stood up and responded.
