The commander-in-chief became more and more angry the more he thought about it. Although reason made him accept reality, he was still very unwilling to accept it.

He gritted his teeth and scolded: "You can't just forget about this. The blame for robbing the ocean must not be allowed to be taken over by the intelligence department, otherwise the Japanese will continue to stare at them until they catch up those oceans that do not exist at all!"

Seeing that the commander-in-chief finally realized the difficulties and dangerous situation of the intelligence department, he began to speak for the intelligence department. The intelligence officer quickly answered: "The chief is wise and humble, he has already started to do this, but the effect is very limited."

"The Japanese believe that we robbed all the oceans. In order to dispel their thoughts, Beizhi used various means to spread the news that someone had taken the lead in boarding the raid train and the oceans were robbed by them. But because we could not provide practical evidence, the Japanese did not believe it, and even some of our own people did not believe the news we spread."

"They think that the action team wants to monopolize those oceans and hide the robbed oceans, and deliberately tell the public that someone is taking the lead."

The commander-in-chief looked up at the chief of staff on the side: "Do you have any way to help the intelligence department resolve the danger?"

"The Japanese are not caring about anything now, just staring at our intelligence department to clean up. If they are allowed to continue to follow the clues like this, the losses of the intelligence department will definitely increase."

"The intelligence department is different from the combat troops. On the battlefield, no matter how much the losses the combat troops suffer, as long as they fill up the gaps and equipment, they can restore their combat effectiveness with a little training."

"The intelligence department is much more difficult. It is almost impossible for an excellent intelligence officer to be trained in a short period of time, and not everyone can be an intelligence officer. If our intelligence network lurking in the Japanese occupied areas is hit by a devastating blow, it will take as little as half a year or as long as a year to recover. This time is too long, and the cost is many times greater than that of the combat troops!"

The chief of staff's face was very serious. He hesitated for a while before answering: "Without the evidence that the National Saving Army will take the lead, the blame will definitely not be taken away, so we can only take it ourselves!"

"If you are sure to resolve the danger to the intelligence department, you can only transfer the blame to us. Tell the Japanese that the ocean they are looking for has been sent to the war zone by the intelligence department, and transfer their anger to us!"

It was fine if the commander-in-chief did not listen to this proposal, but he became even more angry after listening.

Once the war zone really does what the Chief of Staff says, it means that the war zone admits that it has robbed the Japanese ocean. But those oceans are indeed not robbed by the war zone. Inexplicably, they will take such a blame and will also cause the Japanese to be overwhelmed. Anyone who puts such a thing can't accept it.

But the Chief of Staff said it right. The train transporting the ocean was indeed robbed and supported by the operation team, and most of the escort soldiers were also killed by the operation team. All the existing evidence pointed to the operation team. If the war zone could not produce evidence that the Japanese could believe that they had not robbed the ocean, no matter how the war zone denied it, the Japanese would not believe it.

Seeing the commander-in-chief cursing, he fell into deep thought, and his brows became deeper and deeper. The Chief of Staff knew that he had begun to accept his proposal just now, and seized the opportunity to continue analyzing: "Sir! The intelligence department is in the area occupied by the Japanese and puppet troops and directly contacts the Japanese and puppet troops. If the Japanese continue to stare at them, the intelligence department will definitely suffer heavy losses. This is also a very important reason why you asked Beiyi to find a solution just now."

"The only place in the war zone that borders the Japanese is the front line. If the Japanese are transferred to us, the Japanese will launch two retaliatory attacks on the front line at most."

"Compared with the losses of intelligence agencies in the areas occupied by the Japanese and puppet troops, the losses of front-line troops to welcome the retaliatory attacks of the Japanese and puppet troops are significantly smaller, and we are more likely to accept them."

Hearing this, the commander-in-chief had already accepted the Chief of Staff’s proposal, but he was still very unwilling to accept it.

The expression on his face is very complicated, but he can't make up his final decision.

Suddenly, a "report!" sounded at the office door.

Seeing the commander-in-chief nod, the intelligence officer with the lowest level quickly ran over and opened the door.

The person who came was his subordinate, with a very serious expression. When the person in charge saw it, he felt a little bad premonition in his mind, and asked with concern: "What's the matter so anxious? Can't you wait for me to report it later?"

The subordinates reported nervously: "Sir, please calm down. This information is really too urgent. I dare not make decisions without authorization, so I can only come here to find you!"

As he spoke, the intelligence officer had read the telegrams handed over by his subordinates, and then his face sank.

After waved his hand to signal his subordinates to leave, he lowered his head and returned to his position just now. His mind was running rapidly, thinking about how to report the information he had just received to the commander-in-chief.

The commander-in-chief is not a fool. When he sees the face of the intelligence officer, he realizes that there is another bad news.

At this moment, he was angry. When he saw the intelligence officer showing a embarrassed expression of wanting to speak but stopping, he cursed: "Can you look like a soldier? If you have something to say, don't stand there and hesitate. I have accepted the blame in the war zone. I can't accept any bad news!"

The intelligence officer was scolded and blushed and quickly reported: "Sir, we have just received the intelligence. The Japanese are preparing to transfer troops from the blockade line of their encirclement of the National Salvation Army. At least half of the troops will be transferred, most of which are Japanese!"

"What?" After hearing this, the commander-in-chief was furious and was very anxious.

"What do the Japanese want to do? As soon as they sold the food to the National Savior Army, they transferred troops from the blockade line, making the blockade line useless. Aren't they worried that the National Savior Army will enter their occupied areas to collect materials and further strengthen their strength?"

"The Japanese must be crazy, otherwise how could they make such a stupid decision."

The Chief of Staff was also shocked by the news and analyzed with a calm face: "Sir, I think the Japanese's military transfer is not as simple as we imagined!"

"Because of the blockade, the National Salvation Army was unable to obtain a grain of food, a grain of salt, and a large amount of materials that Yangquan could not produce locally."

"Although the Japanese sold a large amount of food to the National Salvation Army, solving their shortage of food, the blockade line can also block salt and other materials from outside into the National Salvation Army's defense zone and prevent the National Salvation Army from continuing to develop and grow further."

"Either the troops nor the people can do without salt. If the blockade is carried out for a long time, the National Salvation Army will definitely lose its combat effectiveness due to the lack of salt, and the defense zone will also become messy."

"Now the Japanese and puppet troops have transferred the troops on the blockade line, making the blockade line useless. The problems of the national-salvation army's lack of salt and other materials will be solved, and the overall strength will definitely become stronger and stronger."

"I don't believe that the Japanese cannot see this, but they did so, which shows that the Japanese are not worried that the National Salvation Army will continue to grow and grow in their occupied areas."

"If they were still the enemy of life and death, the Japanese would definitely limit the development of the National Salvation Army as before."

"Now there is no limit, which means that their relationship has changed. Even if it has not reached the point of turning enemies into friends, they must have reached a cooperation that we do not know."

The commander-in-chief agreed with a calm face: "They must have signed some secret agreement."

"Otherwise, the National Salvation Army would collapse due to shortage of food. As the number one enemy of the National Salvation Army, the Japanese and puppet army not only did not take the opportunity to take down the National Salvation Army, but also sold them food to them at the most critical moment to help them solve the danger. Even fools can see that there is a conspiracy here."

"Now, even the troops on the blockade line have been withdrawn, which further proves that the Japanese no longer regard the national rescue army as their opponents."

"Chief of Staff, the bad impact of this incident is even greater than the blame for the war zone. We must solve it properly, otherwise there will be an additional opponent with strong combat power in the war zone!"

The Chief of Staff quickly continued: "Sir, I think before solving this problem, the war zone must figure out what the agreement reached between the National Salvation Army and the Japanese, and what conditions did the National Salvation Army agree to the Japanese so that the Japanese would sell food and withdraw their troops?"

The commander-in-chief immediately looked at the intelligence officer beside him.

The intelligence officer understood the gods and replied loudly without waiting for the commander-in-chief to speak: "Please rest assured, I will definitely get the conditions of the National Salvation Army to agree to the Japanese within three days, and figure out the reason why the Japanese were dispatched from the blockade line."

The commander-in-chief finally showed a satisfied smile to the intelligence officer on his serious face, turned his head and looked at the Chief of Staff to continue the order: "No matter what conditions the National Salvation Army promised the Japanese, we cannot let their cooperation continue. We must find a way to provoke their conflicts and let them continue to fight, so that this will be in the interests of the war zone."

The chief of staff quickly walked to the map and stared at the National Salvation Military Defense Zone for almost two minutes. His eyes were suddenly attracted by the Zhengtai Railway passing through the National Salvation Military Defense Zone.

His eyes lit up and suggested: "Sir, I think we can do it on the railway line!"

"Although the National Salvation Army took Yangquan, the Zhengtai railway line passing through Yangquan is still in the hands of the Japanese."

"This railway line has a very important role and significance to the Japanese. If they interrupt one day, they will suffer heavy losses."

"If the National Salvation Army cut off the Zhengtai Railway, what do you think the Japanese would do?"

The commander-in-chief's eyes also lit up, staring at the map and blurted out: "Send heavy troops to retake the Zhengtai Railway, quickly build the railway, and keep the railway line open."

"I understand, we can do some work around the Zhengtai Railway and let them fight each other."

It's not that easy to do this.

When the commander-in-chief began to get into trouble again when he thought of the specific implementation methods.

If the National Salvation Army really reached an agreement with the Japanese, they would definitely not rashly cut off the Zhengtai Railway and intensify their relationship with the Japanese that had finally eased.

It is not possible to directly issue orders in the war zone.

Although the National Salvation Army had nominal relationships with the War Zone, the War Zone ignored every telegram for help sent by the National Salvation Army. Not only did it not provide them with any help, it also made a move behind the scenes.

Even if the war zone issued an order to break the railway, they would use various reasons to refuse, or send troops to do it...
