Chapter 606: A glass of wine to cut the military power!
At noon, Du Haisheng, the three women and Liu Xue cooked in person. For a short time, a plate of delicious dishes was served on the table, and the aroma spread throughout the room.
Du Haisheng sat down. Du Haisheng personally poured a glass of wine for everyone and stood up and said, "In the past few years, thank you for your care and help, so that my junior can have my own sky in Shanghai. If it weren't for you, I would have struggled. Maybe I'm still eating and drinking somewhere now. Here, Mr. Du, I would like to give you a toast. Let's do it first.
As he said a glass of wine, he entered his stomach, and everyone also drank it with a smile.
Then, Du Haisheng poured a second glass of wine and said solemnly, "This glass of wine, my brothers and predecessors who have worked hard with me over the years, and those brothers and sisters who have sacrificed for Du, I will respect them first."
After saying that, he turned around and raised his glass, slowly poured the wine on the ground, then poured another cup, signaled to everyone, and drank it all again.
Everyone also didn't say anything and did it very boldly.
After two rounds, Du Haisheng said again, "This glass of wine, I respect the brothers of the 18th Army, the First Army, the Second Army, the Security Command, and the Defense and Security Bureau. Only by making their existence can they keep the peace of Shanghai City. Without them, Shanghai City must still be in chaos at this time. It is they who support the backbone of Shanghai City."
At this time, Wu Peifu, Tang Shengzhi, Sun Chuanfang, Xue Yue, Zhou Wenshan, Huang Jinrong and Du Yuesheng also stood up and said, "Let's drink together."
During the banquet, Du Haisheng came to Sun Chuanfang with a glass of wine. He smiled and said, "This glass of wine, I respect the commander of Sun alone. The Iron-blooded 18th Army can have the current 120,000 soldiers. The commander of the Sun army is the greatest. Of course, General Xue has also worked hard. If it weren't for you, the 18th Army would definitely not have reached it. There are twice as many people as the First and Second Armies.
After saying that, he looked at Sun Chuanfang with an extremely strange smile and drank it.
Sun Chuanfang was stunned and said in her heart, "It seems that it's still here." However, there was no change in his expression, and he drank it with pride.
Du Haisheng returned to his seat, put down his glass, looked at Sun Chuanfang with a smile on his face, and said, "Sir Sun, I don't know what plans you have for the 18th Army in the future?"
"This..."
When Sun Chuanfang heard this, she secretly said something bad, but deliberately pretended to be righteous and awe-inspiring and said, "In fact, the 18th Army can develop to what it is today. To be honest, Sun has an inseparable relationship with Deputy Military Chief Du. Compared with you, my credit is still a little insignificant. Here, I represent All the brothers of the 18th Army made a statement in front of the brothers that they would coexist with Shanghai. Deputy Commander Du will not leave Shanghai, and my grandson will also be in Shanghai for a lifetime. Except for you and me, no one can command my troops.
Du Haisheng heard it, but he smiled without saying anything. Then he waved his hand and said, "What is the accusation of being a soldier? What is the army? It's not that I Du, or your Commander Sun. The army is to protect the country, to fight against foreign invaders, to protect the peace of one side, Shanghai City to protect, and other places to protect. It's not where we want to fight, but where the people need us, and where the battlefield needs us, we will fight. This is the department. The true meaning of the team.
"Deputy Military Director Du said a word, let the old man open up, and he was extremely taught."
When Sun Chuanfang heard this, she couldn't help but be stunned. The hand on her beard also suddenly pulled it. Several mustaches were pulled out. She couldn't help eating for a while. Her face turned around, and she still smiled modestly.
"The boy is also telling the truth, and it doesn't mean anything else."
Du Haisheng still remained calm and said, "Now, there are not only 120,000 soldiers of the 18th Army in Shanghai, but also 50,000 follow-up from the Shanghai Garrison Command, 50,000 from the Shanghai Defense and Security Bureau, and the first army of General Wu and the second army of General Tang, with a huge number of 340,000. , and these 340,000 people are all crowded in Shanghai City, which seems to be very crowded. Moreover, once there is a war, 340,000 troops can't open the front at all. Any enemy's shells may suffer heavy casualties.
Seeing that everyone did not speak, he just nodded to agree with his views. Du Haisheng sneered in his heart and then said, "I am ready to split the 18th Army into two armies, the 18th Army, the 19th Army, the 18th Army for 70,000 people, the 19th Army for 50,000 people, and Sun, the commander of the 18th Army, to cooperate with General Wu. The 88th Division of the First Army and the 103rd Division of Tang Shengzhi's Second Army formed a barrier in the area of Yuhang. First, to defend Lao Jiang's Central Army. Second, if the Japanese army landed from the coast of Shanghai, it could form a pinch attack on it. I don't know what Sun's intention?
After Du Haisheng finished speaking, he squinted at Sun Chuanfang.
"This..."
Hearing this, Sun Chuanfang couldn't help but look gloomy.
He had a hunch that Du Haisheng would definitely not let himself completely control an army of 120,000 people. In that case, it would always be a threat to the other party, especially when he came to the banquet. He had already expected that this meal would be very difficult to eat, and it might even be a grand banquet. Unexpectedly, it was really Guess it yourself.
Obviously, Du Haisheng had already planned to split the 18th Army, but the previous time was not ripe. After all, the First Army and the Second Army were not stable in Shanghai. At that time, the Shanghai Garrison Command and the Shanghai Defense and Security Bureau of Huang Jinrong had not been established, and now, the periphery of Shanghai City has been the first and the first The second army took over and formed an encirclement of Shanghai City. The 18th Army is all in Shanghai. In Shanghai City, there is a police headquarters and the Defense and Security Bureau. These troops are Du Haisheng's absolute confidants. Once the fight is started, the 18th Army will definitely have no chance of winning.
What's more, the most powerful special battle brigade of the 18th Army has been fully controlled by Du Haisheng at this time, and many soldiers are also led by Du Haisheng.
It seems that the other party thinks the time is ripe.
Sun Chuanfang thought to herself that he already knew that the 18th Army was split. Seeing that today's situation has reached an unchangeable point, he also has his own idea. Once the 18th Army is split, the number of troops under his control will definitely be greatly reduced, and he will lose the threat to Du Haisheng. In this way, from Your own voice is bound to be further weakened.
What worries him most is whether Du Haisheng will split the 18th Army and classify all the special forces as the newly established 19th Army. If so, it will be a fatal blow to him.
The glass of wine in history has now reappeared again. However, what reassured Sun Chuanfang a little is that Du Haisheng did not take back all his military power. At best, it was just a glass of wine to cut the military power.
Moreover, Du Haisheng did not do it. Perhaps considering his own feelings, there are still 70,000 people in the 18th Army he controls, which is still the largest among several armies.
Others also have the same ideas as Sun Chuanfang, and also agree with Du Haisheng's approach in their hearts, especially Wu Peifu, Tang Shengzhi, Xue Yue and Huang Jinrong.
After all, the scale they control is 50,000, while Sun Chuanfang has 120,000, which is not only an invisible pressure for them, but also a powerful threat and deterrent.
If the 18th Army is split, it will greatly weaken the deterrent of the 18th Army and make it easier for Du Haisheng to manage.
Balance, obviously, all this is planned by Du Haisheng. What he wants is the balance of the army. Although there are still 70,000 troops controlled by Sun Chuanfang after the split, 20,000 more than their army, these 20,000 people can no longer affect the result of a battle. Now, what they are most concerned about is Xincheng. Who will control the 19th Army?
Sun Chuanfang pondered for a long time before saying, "Actually, I also know that Brother Du is for my good. After all, I control the army of 120,000 yuan in my hand, which will inevitably be envied by some people, which will also affect the internal unity between the army and create some unnecessary right and wrong, although I have never thought of leaving. The meaning of Shanghai City.
Obviously, Sun Chuanfang's words are goodwill to Du Haisheng. What is Shanghai City? It's not Du Haisheng's own. He doesn't leave Shanghai, that is, he doesn't leave the scope of Du Haisheng's power. That is to say, Sun Chuanfang has begun to secretly show loyalty, but what he said is also the truth. Having an army of 120,000 troops will not only arouse the dissatisfaction of other troops, but also attract more people's suspicion, which is Including Du Haisheng.
With that, Sun Chuanfang took a look at everyone and then said, "Actually, I have thought about Brother Du's opinion before, and I'm going to mention it to you in the next two days. Unexpectedly, Brother Du came to me in advance. In this case, Sun made it clear that he was willing to split the Eighteenth Army and And, once again, the city of Shanghai is in, my grandson and the 18th Army must exist. When the city of Shanghai is dead, my grandson and the 18th army will definitely coexist with it. However, I don't know how Brother Du is going to deal with the special war brigade?
Finally, he said what he was most concerned about.
"I'll give it all to you."
Du Haisheng spread his hands and said cheerfully.
Sun Chuanfang heard this and looked unbelievable. She stared at her big eyes and asked again, "What Brother Du said is true."
Du Haisheng smiled indifferently and said, "Ha ha ha, in front of everyone, how dare I joke? I don't move alone in the special combat brigade of the 18th Army. In addition, I will also inform five people of the ordnance of the 18th Army to provide them first, and you will have a priority experiment with another unit in my hand. The right to use the new munitions and weapons manufactured by the five-person ordnance.
Du Haisheng's words came out, and everyone present couldn't help taking a breath of cold air. They knew that Du Haisheng's words contained great meaning. Although Wu Peifu and Tang Shengzhi used to be people in the past, they mostly thought that war was between people. As long as the team is big enough and there are enough people, even if the human wall tactics are adopted, the other party can be crushed to death.
Since they cooperated with Du Haisheng, they have made it clear that if they have enough arms and enough soldiers who are not afraid of death, they can win any war with a huge number of people. When Du Haisheng said this, Wu Peifu, Tang Shengzhi and others are also envious. Muhe is jealous.
However, they have nothing to say. After all, it is to pay 50,000 soldiers to get out of their own troops. They don't have the courage.Even if there is, as soon as 50,000 people leave, they immediately become a light pole commander. What else do you want to do with those weapons?
After receiving Du Haisheng's promise, Sun Chuanfang's previous depression also disappeared in an instant. After all, the special combat brigade was given to him by Du Haisheng, and he also gave priority to the advanced arms and weapons of the five-person ordnance manufacturing company, as well as the latest experimental weapons. He is I heard that five-person ordnance tanks and more advanced cannons have begun to enter the mass production stage.
At that time, if there are tanks, armor and cannons, it will be enough to make up for what is lost.
Thinking about it, I feel that I have taken advantage of it.
A family banquet ended with the end of this episode, and the next chat seemed very relaxed. Everyone was talking and laughing, which was so lively.
