Chapter 670: Reporter's question!

Wu Peifu paused and gave all the reporters present a buffer time to adjust their mentality and emotions. Seeing that it was almost done, he cleared his throat and raised his voice and said, "Decid to send troops!"

"Whey!"

As soon as this statement came out, all the reporters present suddenly boiled and gave warm applause. They were waiting for such an answer, an answer that could be explained to the people in Shanghai.

It is obvious that Wu Peifu, Du Haisheng and the military commanders did not let them down.

The applause was thunderous and lasted for a long time. After ten minutes, it was silenced. Wu Peifu then said, "The purpose of sending troops is not just that the arms and weapons sold by our Shanghai enterprises were robbed by Zhang Zongchang, but also for the 500 soldiers of the 500 soldiers of the Third Regiment of the Northeast Army who were killed in the attack. Just now, Wang Fugui also said that what Zongchang did in Shandong has reached the point of public indignation and death is not enough. We have to give an explanation not only to the people in Shanghai and other enterprises and store owners, but also to all the people of the Republic of China.

"But..."

With that, Wu Peifu seemed to be in a dilemma. Everyone heard it, but? My heart was pounding. In the middle of the words, once the word appeared, even if it was a turning point.

Is there any other change in this?

Everyone listened carefully, hoping that Wu Peifu could give an answer that convinced them.

Wu Peifu sighed and said, "As Deputy Commander Du said, the complexity of the whole thing is beyond your imagination. Although all the soldiers of the Jiangnan Iron and Blood Army have decided to send troops to defend the reputation of the army and the safety of the people, everyone knows that the land of Shandong is not only Zhang Zongchang's troops, but also the former For a period of time, Nanjing also transferred the reserve team of Chen Tianyuan's headquarters to Shandong at the same time. If we send troops, as Zhang Zongchang's allies, Chen Tsuoyuan's headquarters can't sit idly by. Once he shoots, we will never fight back. In this way, it is equivalent to the Jiangnan Iron and Blood Army and Nanjing directly. The war started.

When he said this, everyone present immediately understood what Wu Peifu was worried about.

And this is exactly the point that Du Haisheng discussed with him and must be expounded at the press conference.

After all, in Shandong, Zhang Zongchang is not the only subordinates. Not to mention Yan Xishan and Shi Yousan, Chen Tianyuan alone is enough to make a lot of right and wrong. The fight is to fight, but the problem is that fighting Zhang Zongchang and Chen Tianyuan are two completely different natures. Zhang Zongchang is a warlord of the same place and is related to the Republic of China. The department is not too big, and Chen Tiaoyuan's department is a new force just established by a person in Nanjing. Chen Tiaoyuan is also his direct line. If he exchanges fire with Chen Tiaoyuan, it is equivalent to directly declaring war on the Nanjing National Government. They have never considered such a situation. After Wu Peifu said it, he is also aware of the seriousness of the problem.

The reporters off the court were all silent, but Du Haisheng took over the topic again and comforted him: "No matter what kind of difficulties you encounter, please rest assured. Commander-in-Chief Wu and I will never compromise with anyone. Sending troops to Shandong is the general trend and what Shanghai and the people of the whole country are looking forward to. Here, I do the following. Three decisions, one: sending troops is inevitable. Those who have nothing to do with this matter are advised to withdraw from Shandong as soon as possible to avoid a larger-scale conflict caused by friction and the outbreak of a bigger war. Second, Zhang Zongchang's troops, regardless of the final outcome, must explain what he did within two days and all the people of the Republic of China. Let's apologize."

"Three: Nanjing must make a statement and express its position on the dispatch of the Jiangnan Iron-blooded Legion. It is to support Zhang Zongchang, or risk the world to fight against all the soldiers of the Jiangnan Army and the people of the world."

With that, he said, "I and Marshal Wu have made a statement on more than one occasion that they don't have an unjust teacher and don't fight a fight without reason. Zhang Zongchang offends me. That's why I want to fight him. I don't want other unrelated forces to participate in it. Among them, including Chen Tiaoyuan's department in Shandong, if it comes out of the Jiangnan Iron-blooded Army. After the army in Shandong, we will still stay in place. We will regard him as an ally of Zhang Zongchang and make a military strike.

"May I ask Mr. Du, have you communicated with Nanjing about the dispatch of troops from the Jiangnan Iron-blooded Legion and the withdrawal of Chen Tianyuan's troops from Shandong to avoid larger-scale conflicts?"

Du Haisheng smiled indifferently and said, "First of all, you have to figure out one of the problems. The Jiangnan Iron-blooded Army does not belong to any force. When to send troops, Nanjing has no right to intervene, and Marshal Wu and I do not have the obligation to ask him for instructions. Regarding the second question, after the looting of arms at the beginning, Some people ignore the overall situation of the world and ignore the truth, but for their own interests, they choose to shelter Zhang Zongchang, the culprit, sing praises for him in the newspaper, and even blackmail Zhang Zongchang to let him listen to his life, support him, and admit his status.

With that, the words changed again, and the calm tone just now suddenly became sharp and said, "This reporter, you have to figure out a problem. I, Jiangnan Iron and Blood Legion, love peace and do not advocate military means as the fundamental way to solve the problem. As for this matter, it is not about communicating with them or not. The problem is that they can't let go of this face to communicate with me first. How can my more than 300,000 military soldiers and millions of Shanghai people please them? In my opinion, there is no need for communication. If you retreat, if you don't retreat, you will be beaten. If you don't accept it, you will be completely convinced.

In the last sentence, what Du Haisheng said was extremely domineering, which made people's blood boil, and the blood of the man flowing in his body instantly filled his whole body.

And every sentence of Du Haisheng directly guides the Beijing National Government and Jiang, and the key to all the problems is the reaction of Chen Tiaoyuan.

However, the meaning of Du Haisheng's words is already obvious. No matter what decision Nanjing makes, it can't stop the decision of the Jiangnan Iron-blooded Legion from sending troops to Shandong.

"Excuse me, Mr. Du, when will the Jiangnan Iron-Blooded Legion send troops, what is the formation of troops, and what is the number of troops?"

Du Haisheng smiled indifferently and said, "Commander Wu, please answer this question."

Wu Peifu also said with a smile, "First of all, answer your first question, when to send troops, it depends on the reaction of Nanjing and Zhang Zongchang. However, in front of everyone, I can give you an approximate time, no more than a week at the latest. The second question involves the last closed-door emergency. I will explain in detail the content of the consultation meeting later. As for the number of people, I will explain it clearly next.

"Then may I ask Commander-in-Chief Wu, will General Zhang Xueliang from the northeast of Shandong this time also send troops?"

"I will!"

Wu Peifu replied affirmatively.

"In the meeting, can Commander-in-Chief Wu reveal in what form he will send troops, how many people are there, and when he will take action?"

Wu Peifu nodded, motioned the other party to sit down, smiled and said, "The first question, I have communicated with General Zhang Xueliang before. The other party will launch an offensive against Shandong with a total of 50,000 troops. As for when to take action, I have no comment now. I will keep it with Zhang Xueliang at any time. Communication, it is certain that the two sides will arrive in Shandong at the same time, meet on the front lines of Lankao, Kaifeng and Heze, and take a brief rest, and then take an offensive against Shandong.

At this time, Chu Xiaomin, who was just attacked by Zhang Zihan, also calmed down and raised another question, "Commander-in-Chief Wu, do you have the name of the Jiangnan Iron-blooded Army and the allied Army and the Northeast Army? Also, once the allied forces enter Shandong, the crusade troops under the jurisdiction of Yan Xishan, Shi Yousan, Sun Dianying and Sun Liangcheng What will you do? Should you withdraw from Shandong or assist the allied forces to continue to attack Shandong?

Wu Peifu was slightly stunned and then said, "As for the name of the coalition, we are thinking about it."

With that, he played a little humor and said, "What I mean by Deputy Commander Du is to make a bright and cool name in the end. Of course, reporter Chu can also bring up a good name, and maybe he will use it."

Chu Xiaomin blushed and quickly shook her head with a smile.

This kind of thing is originally a man's game. It's better for her not to participate. In addition, she has to find a way to deal with Zhang Zihan's apology.

Seeing that Chu Xiaomin didn't say anything, Wu Peifu continued, "We have no right to ask about the next move of Yan Xishan, Shi Yousan and other crusade troops. However, what I can tell you is that I and Deputy Commander Du have been communicating with General Yan Xishan himself in recent days, and finally reached an agreement to wait for the allied forces to enter Shandong. In the future, their crusade will withdraw from the Shandong battlefield. As for the next step, you can ask Officer Yan himself.

Liang Qiu also stood up at this time and said, "Mr. Du, when were the two independent divisions of Tiger and Wolf you just mentioned established and what organization did they belong to?"

"Mshal Wu will explain this problem in detail later."

Du Haisheng replied lightly. Seeing that the questions raised by the reporters were almost over, he coughed dryly and said, "Now, General Wu, please read out the decision on the establishment and appointment of the Jiangnan Iron-blooded Legion."

Wu Peifu was not talkative. He stood up, took out the manuscript paper in his hand and said, "Now, I announce: First, the death sickle that arrived in Shanghai some time ago will be reorganized. It will be divided into two parts, which belongs to the division, with 7,000 people in each part, namely the tiger division and the wolf master, and the tiger division is Wu Yinghui."

Wu Yinghui stood up and gave a standard military salute to everyone.

Wu Peifu nodded and said, "The wolf division is Duan Tianhu."

Duan Tianhu also stood up and paid a military salute to everyone, but his military salute was too different from Wu Yinghui, and the minimum standard could not be met.

There is nothing he can do. He is the first time to enter the military system. For him, who has never been a soldier, even this military ceremonial is learned at the last minute.

Wu Peifu also nodded and continued to read: "Second: The Tiger and Wolf Division is subordinate to the headquarters, and the commander-in-chief is directly responsible for it. Third, the special opponent Jiangnan Iron and Blood Legion is adapted. The First Army and the Fourth Army are the First Army. Wu Peifu, the deputy commander-in-chief Du Haisheng, the first The Second Route Army is composed of the Second Army and the Third Army, with Tang Shengzhi, the commander-in-chief, and Sun Chuanfang, the deputy commander-in-chief. The Third Route Army is composed of the Fifth Army, the Sixth Army, and the Independent Tiger and Wolf Division. The commander-in-chief is Xue Yue, the deputy commander-in-chief, Huang Jinrong. The specific defense of the Third Army will be reported at the next regular press conference.

"I have one last question. Commander-in-Chief Wu, please answer it."

Chu Xiaomin stood up again and asked.

"Please tell me!"

Wu Peifu was stunned. Seeing that it was still this little girl, he smiled and said.

"May I ask which of the three-way army is responsible for the attack on Shandong."

"I just said that the specific tasks of the three armed forces will be reported at the next regular press conference. I can't answer your questions now. Please forgive me."

Seeing the other party's attitude, Chu Xiaomin also knew that she couldn't ask anything about this matter, so she had to give up.

The press conference was also announced to end after her last question was answered.
