Will pie fall from the sky?

Yes. But it won't fall on you.

As a representative of non-chiefs, Zhang Yong felt that the only thing that would fall on his head was the discus.

Everyone in the Gui family is cunning as hell.

Will I really send you a military assignment?

Thinking too much...

These big guys all use themselves as tools!

How could a person as smart as Xiao Zhuge give up an army? There must be a calculation behind it.

So did Chiang Kai-shek.

The four armies that Lao Jiang asked him to supervise were all affiliated.

Either the Northeastern Army or the Sichuan Army. Now, in name, they all belong to him, Zhang Yong. And Zhang Yong is loyal to Chiang Kai-shek.

Therefore, in the eyes of others, these four armies became direct descendants of the Central Army.

Not a direct descendant of Huangpu. A direct descendant of the Central Military Commission.

Subtly!

Lao Jiang's move is quite powerful.

Silently, there were four more armies. If they were all full, there would be a full 100,000 people.

Now, the Guangxi clique has sent another army, and they are bound to compete with Chiang Kai-shek.

In other words, both sides will fight each other.

Chiang Kai-shek wants actual control of the 48th Army. The Guangxi clique will definitely not give it to him.

So, he, Zhang Yong, was caught in the middle...

But it doesn't matter. He's not afraid of the sandwich maker.

In fact, he has a very good attitude towards the inspector. He will take care of himself as soon as he comes.

It would be best if you listen to me.

If you don't listen to me, that's okay.

Anyway, I have money and ammunition in my hand, you can do whatever you want.

If you don't listen to me, then go find the original wet nurse and ask her to pay you and replenish your ammunition.

"This is the basic information of the 48th Army."

"Well……"

Zhang Yong reached out and took it.

I found that this 48th Army had quite a background and was one of the main forces of the Guangxi Army.

The previous designation was the 15th Army. After the Marco Polo Bridge Incident broke out, the designation was changed to the 48th Army.

Army Commander Wei Yunsong led his army to participate in the Songhu Battle and was organized into Liao Lei's 21st Group Army.

Huh? 21st Group Army? Oh, commanded by Liao Lei. We haven’t met each other before.

After the Battle of Songhu, the 48th Army retreated towards Hangzhou. After the fall of Hangzhou, it retreated to Tonglu and other places to rest and recuperate.

In terms of organization, the 48th Army has three divisions with a total strength of about 22,000 troops.

The main reason is that the losses on the Songhu battlefield were relatively large, and the replenishment had not yet been fully completed. Soldiers, weapons, and ammunition were all insufficient.

Tonglu belongs to the third war zone. The commander-in-chief is Gu Zhutong. As for the 48th Army of the Guangxi Faction, of course, official business is done.

On the Fruit Party side, the word "official business must be done" means that there is nothing to do.

If you don't take the relationship, you can only wait slowly until you die.

"Chief Li, are you serious?"

"certainly."

"Sir Li, although the commission has asked me to supervise the four armies, he himself often takes direct command. Many times, I don't know about it at all."

"We will not. We will never go past you and issue orders to the 48th Army."

"Chief Li, let me think about it."

"Shaolong, we are very sincere. Really. Please believe us."

"Then I'll wait for orders from the headquarters."

"good."

Chief Li turned and left.

Zhang Yong stood there, thoughtful.

Suddenly I remembered Chiang Kai-shek's arrangement.

No. It was He Yingqin's arrangement. He arranged an independent liaison group for himself.

Moreover, he promised not to go beyond himself and directly issued orders to the 68th and 69th armies. At that time, I felt that the other party was very kind-hearted.

Now that I think about it, they probably smelled something and were worried that they would be "seduced" by the Gui clan, so they made concessions.

Not to mention, Zhang Yong is indeed quite satisfied with this arrangement of the Gui clan.

Since you asked me to supervise, you pretended that I didn’t exist and gave orders directly without me. Of course I’m not happy!

I didn't feel too deeply before. That's because there was no comparison. Once there was comparison, my mentality changed.

Who wants to be ignored and become a transparent person?

If this 48th Army can really listen to itself in everything, Zhang Yong will definitely prefer him!

If you want military pay, you will have military pay!

If you need ammunition, you will have ammunition!

Although the system cannot produce heavy weapons, he will still find ways to get them and then arm them to the teeth.

It doesn’t matter what the Gui system is or not. In short, I prefer whatever is easy to use.

Just like the 67th Army. Zhang Yong prefers it the most.

In contrast, Long Muhan's 100 troops were placed in the second class. Who told him that he was often directly commanded by Chiang Kai-shek!

As for the 68th and 69th armies, they are basically in a free-range state and don't care about them.

The other 184th Division and so on, sometimes I can't even remember them.

Because the other party didn't proactively contact me, of course I was pretending to be forgetful.

I guess the Yunnan Army was just trying to show off.

If there is really a need, it is impossible not to contact him. Without military pay and ammunition, how can you not think of Zhang Yong?

hehe.

Take it back and go back to your office.

There is work to do.

What kind of work?

The last inspection has not been completed yet.

Although Yu Muge had already written it, he never had time to copy it.

Anyway, the attendant's office didn't push me, so I slowly delayed it. Now that I've been delaying it for so many days, I should hand it in.

Concentrate. Have no distractions.

It took two hours. I finally finished copying it. I feel pretty good...

A counselor has arrived.

"Report!"

"What's up?"

"Sir Commissioner, there is a call from the 67th Army saying that the Japanese pilot Takaya Horikawa has been captured."

"oh?"

Zhang Yong's expression changed.

So fast? It’s a bit surprising!

It seems that the 67th Army moved very quickly indeed.

good.

good.

It is indeed worth preferring more.

At critical moments, we still have to rely on the 67th Army to fight tough battles. Take Purple Mountain for example.

This time the 67th Army is stationed in Anqing, there will definitely be another fierce battle. Therefore, the combat strength must be fully replenished before the Japanese invaders launch an attack.

There is absolutely no shortage of military pay and ammunition. They have been replenished long ago. There is just a slight shortage of soldiers.

In other words, according to the establishment, there is no shortage. However, it can be secretly over-staffed!

Originally, a company had 120 men. I'll get you 180 men. It's still an army in name. But in fact...

hey-hey……

In the late period of the Liberation War, there were some armies in the four fields, with a total strength of nearly 70,000 people! More than a single regiment of the national army!

We are all in the same army in name. There is no comparison between the first field, the second field, and the third field.

"Call back."

"yes."

"Order the 67th Army to immediately transport the Japanese pilots to Hankou Airport."

"yes."

The staff officer is on record.

Zhang Yong reviewed, confirmed and signed.

I find it a bit troublesome.

His stall is a bit big now.

This army and that army are all in a fragmented state. Things are many and complicated.

If the Guangxi faction really brings over the 48th Army and promises not to overstep its control of the 48th Army, then things will be even more complicated.

No more.

A higher-level headquarters must be established.

General daily affairs can be left to the headquarters. Only major matters require Zhang Yong's intervention.

What kind of headquarters should we set up?

Army group?

It seems possible.

Above the corps is the group army.

It is normal for a group army to have several armies under its jurisdiction.

Now, within the organizational structure of the national army, there are a large number of group armies.

For example, Tang Enbo's troops were reorganized into the 20th Army and the famous 18th Army.

Above the army group is the war zone. The country seems to be divided into twelve war zones? The commanders of the war zones are all super bosses.

Above the war zone is the headquarters of Chiang Kai-shek.

Nervous...

Really create a group army number?

And then the subordinate units, all over the world, have never come together?

"Report!"

Another adviser arrived.

Take back the cluttered thoughts.

"What's up?"

"Sir Commissioner, Commander Qian is looking for you."

"knew."

Zhang Yong nodded.

I thought to myself, Commander Qian is very busy.

Search for yourself day and night.

It was security for a military meeting before. I wonder what it is this time?

Come to Commander Qian's office.

"Report."

"Come in."

"Commander, are you looking for me?"

"sit!"

"Commander, is there something urgent?"

"You sit down first."

"good."

Zhang Yong sat down.

Commander Qian sat next to him.

Commander Qian seems to be overly enthusiastic?

Come on, I subconsciously feel that something is going to happen. It's still a very sensitive matter.

If the matter is not sensitive, there is no need for Commander Qian to do this.

Sure enough, Commander Qian hesitated and spoke slowly, "Shaolong, Chief Li from the Fifth Theater just came to see you?"

"Yes. He discussed something with me. He said he was willing to hand over the 48th Army to my supervision." Zhang Yong responded honestly.

There is no need to lie about this matter because it will be known to everyone soon.

Since the Guangxi faction dared to raise the matter to the headquarters, it means that this is a conspiracy and they are not afraid of being known.

"Really the 48th Army?"

"Yes. Army Commander Wei Yunsong. He is currently stationed in the Tonglu area."

"That was Chief Bai's starting unit. The previous designation was the 15th Army. They are the two main forces of the Gui Army as famous as the 7th Army."

"Yeah?"

Zhang Yong was a little surprised.

He really didn't know this. No one told him.

Unexpectedly, this 48th Army has such a well-established background. It is actually one of the two main forces of the Guangxi Clan.

It was still Xiao Zhuge’s starting army.

Zhang Yong had heard of the Seventh Army. It was the first main force of the Guangxi faction. It was nicknamed the Seventh Army of Steel. It was indeed capable of fighting. It rarely suffered losses on the battlefield.

Even during the War of Liberation, the Seventh Army of Steel was very cunning. There were so many powerful figures in the Red Party, but they were once unable to do anything to it.

The Seventh Steel Army was eliminated only after the founding of New China was announced.

"This matter..."

Commander Qian hesitated to speak, then fell silent.

Zhang Yong then understood that this time Chiang Kai-shek was really pushed into a corner.

Although it was Commander Qian who came forward, it must be Chiang Kai-shek's intention. Commander Qian was the one responsible for delivering the message.

There are certain things that Chiang Kai-shek is not suitable to say directly to Zhang Yong. They must be conveyed through a third person to facilitate reversal.

How should I put it? The Gui clique is really Chiang Kai-shek’s number one opponent.

If he didn't take action, it would be fine. Once he did, it would make Chiang Kai-shek very uncomfortable.

I am afraid of comparison in everything.

I'm afraid of giving more.

The troops that Lao Jiang asked him to supervise were all miscellaneous. They were all recruited. However, the Gui family was different. They were the ace troops.

Xiao Zhuge released all his own troops. He indeed defeated old Chiang Kai-shek's army.

Lao Chiang likes to use himself to save others. He will definitely worry that Zhang Yong will be bribed.

Zhang Yong is inherently greedy for money and lustful. If the Gui Clan gives him more, he might actually run away with the Gui Clan.

"Commander, I'm going to tell the committee to refuse Chief Li's kindness."

"No. I can't say."

Commander Qian immediately shook his head to stop. His attitude was very firm.

Zhang Yong tilted his head and thought hard, trying to figure out the hidden meaning behind this. Unfortunately, he couldn't think of anything.

Using his brain is really not his strong point. Especially this kind of high-level fighting.

It’s really hard to guess what the big guys are thinking.

Forget it, too lazy to guess.

Whatever!

Just give me the answer directly!

I will do whatever you say. No desires or demands...

"Why?"

"Commander Li will formally submit this matter to the headquarters..."

"Any questions?"

"There are many officers attending the meeting. Chief Yan from Jin Province will also attend."

"Ah? Commander Yan is coming too?"

Zhang Yong was a little surprised again. He didn't expect that Yan Laoxi would also appear.

By the way, where is Yan Laoxi hiding now? Taiyuan has been lost. There is no airport. How can he come to attend the meeting?

"Shaolong, the committee believes in you..."

"Of course! I am the son-in-law of the Song family."

Zhang Yong gave a straightforward answer.

I thought to myself, you, Chiang Kai-shek, are the son-in-law of the Song family. What a coincidence, so am I.

Fortunately, I was a generation later. Otherwise, we would have been brothers-in-law.

If you don't trust me like this, then what else can I do? Of course, we seem to be inseparable, and we have different dreams.

I'm not really stupid.

You didn't trust me, but I worked hard for you. In the end, everyone was executed.

Watching a TV series like that makes me want to smash the TV. How can I be so childish? If we get along, we will get along, if not, we will break up!

"Commander, does this matter embarrass the committee?"

"It's not..."

Commander Qian's answer was somewhat insincere.

Of course it's difficult.

It's not difficult, and there's no need to be so hesitant.

That little Zhuge, this time he really poked his lungs and trachea. But he couldn't get it again.

Seeing that your eldest son is about to be poached, can you feel good?

We definitely can’t let the Gui family succeed!

The price your Gui family can offer, I, Jiang, can also offer.

I just haven't thought about what kind of benefits to give Zhang Yong so that he can continue to be loyal.

"Commander, when will the commission arrive? I still..."

"No need. Really no need."

"But……"

"How about, Shaolong, your inspection team directly organizes the level of the group army?"

"What?"

Zhang Yong was stunned.

Inspection Corps? Army level?

No, what do you mean?

"You are too young. If you directly serve as the commander of the group army, some people may criticize you..."

"Well……"

"Change the name to the Inspector General Corps! Divide all the troops you supervise into it. From now on, you will use the name of the Inspector General Corps to command."

"ah?"

Zhang Yong was dumbfounded.

No. Has it changed so much?

Isn't the Inspection Corps a division-level establishment? You directly direct the entire army?

sweat……

Do you want to jump up so quickly?

I also said that I would recruit people from the Red Party to help me organize the inspection team.

As a result, you just finished it for me?

How many armies do you still have under your jurisdiction?

"Well, the name of the Inspector General Corps is not very good. The level is not high enough. How about calling it the Inspector Headquarters?"

"I……"

"Yes. It's called the Inspection Headquarters. It's directly under the headquarters. It's under the direct command of the commission."

"Well……"

Zhang Yong shut up knowingly.

The topic is too high-end. I can’t keep up with the thinking.

Inspectorate Headquarters...

The name is very nice.

From now on, it will correspond to the Wang Puppet Agent Headquarters.

However, the responsibility seems to have been distorted. He has become specialized in leading troops to fight.

"Ring ring ring..."

"Ring ring ring..."

Suddenly the phone rang. It was a confidential number.

Zhang Yong then said goodbye and left so as not to hinder Commander Qian from answering the phone.

As a result, just as he walked out of the door, he heard Commander Qian calling from behind.

"Shaolong, don't leave."

So he stopped and turned around slowly.

Doubtful. Could the phone call have anything to do with me?

Confidential phone number. It should be from Lao Jiang or the attendant's office.

Stand still.

It seems that he is not so positive.

As a result, Commander Qian immediately waved to him after listening to the call.

"Shaolong, come here!"

"oh."

Zhang Yong walked over.

I secretly thought about it. I don’t know what was said on the phone.

Judging from Commander Qian's face, it seems like nothing is serious?

Sure enough, I heard Commander Qian say: "The commission just called and asked you to take over the Jiujiang Forward Command Post."

Zhang Yong:???

What's coming? Jiujiang Forward Command Post?

what for?
