Arms Merchant of the Republic of China

Chapter 702: Take retreat as progress!

"Actually, it's not!"

Yang Yongtai, who had been sitting on the sofa and kept silent, stroked his eyes. At this time, he suddenly opened his mouth.

He Yingqin and Chiang Kai-shek were stunned, and then asked, "Does Changqing have a countermeasure?"

Yang Yongtai, a weak scholar, shook his head with a smile and said, "Often, when playing chess, it seems to be a dead end. In fact, in the eyes of chess players, there are countless opportunities to revitalize. The dead end, sometimes contains a new life, which can turn the originally unfavorable situation in a very short time. Now, Du Hai Sheng and Zhang Xueliang expressed their attitude towards Zhang Zongchang in Shandong at the same time, and the evidence is still so sufficient that it is inevitable to fight against Shandong, and the Nanjing National Government led by Jiang Gong has also suffered an unprecedented crisis of trust. It seems impossible to reverse it, but in fact it is not.

Jiang Zhongzheng was confused when he heard it. He couldn't help laughing and said, "Changqing, don't sell it. If you have any ideas, just say it directly."

Yang Yongtai waved to his secretary to get the map. During this period, he looked at the two people in front of him and said, "Mr. Jiang, the first thing we need to do is to generously admit that we have been blinded by Zhang Zongchang in Shandong. We should not only admit it, but also publish a newspaper to apologize to the domestic people, make an explanation, and contact him immediately. He was allied with him and cut off all contact with Zhang Zongchang.

"Is this okay? At the beginning, we..."

When He Yingqin heard this, he couldn't help frowning and asked doubtfully. He was skeptical of Yang Yongtai's proposal.

"No, it has to be done!"

Yang Yongtai smiled mysteriously and then said, "Apprect generously, admit your mistakes in a high profile, pretend to be wronged, so as to get the forgiveness of the domestic people, and then let them sympathize with us."

Jiang Zhongzheng listened and nodded. He agreed with Yang Yongtai's method very much. However, he was worried and said, "People are not grass and trees, but have ideas. How can we control their ideas? Du Haisheng's step by step hides the mystery, arranges many traps, and makes deadly moves, and the people in the country are obviously attracted by him again. In the past, and now he has a preconceived advantage.

"It is precisely because people are not plants that we have to do this. It is not impossible for them to sympathize, as long as we do it well."

With that, he looked at the two people and said, "At that time, find some highly valued celebrities and literati in the Republic of China, and let them come forward and say a few words for Jiang Gong. It's basically almost the same. However, on this basis, we must first take a measure to withdraw from Chen Tiaoyuan's department to Jiangsu. Nantong, Haimen and start to carry out defense.

As he spoke, the secretary took the map and went to the war room. Yang Yongtai opened the map, clicked the three places he mentioned with his hand, and said, "These three places are across the river from Shanghai, especially Haimen, which is even closer to Chongming Island. If Du Haisheng dares to take advantage of the opportunity of sending troops to Shandong to Nanjing the people. If the government declares war, Chen Tsoyuan's troops can take advantage of their geographical location. They can cross the river from here and go straight to Chongming. After taking Chongming, they will take Changxing Island in two ways, and the other way to Shanghai. Now Shanghai does not have any warships. In this way, we will have a maritime advantage.

"You mean, let's bomb Shanghai's urban area by sea?"

He Yingqin thought with some understanding, and then asked.

"Yes, at the same time, Yuhang's garrison was ordered to attack Songjiang and Qingpu along the first line of Tongxiang, Jiaxing and Jiashan, and the other line of coastal Ning, Haiyan and Pinghu to attack into the mountain. Fengxian carried out encirclement tactics against Shanghai, so that he had to consider the current situation, so that the allied forces of Shandong did not dare to act rashly. It really can't. Let the air force cooperate and bomb it all-weather.

Yang Yongtai also knows that once the air force bombs Shanghai City, it is impossible to avoid things that hurt innocent people. It will definitely be strongly resisted and crusade by the domestic people. However, if it really goes to that point, although the voice of the domestic people is important, it is still secondary. Only Du Haisheng Only when the thorn in the meat is pulled out can it be relieved.

Jiang Zhongzheng nodded, and so far, it has to be like this.

He also knew that the conflict between himself and Du Haisheng had become more and more irreconcilable with the passage of time. Moreover, the top-secret documents he had formulated and sent to the various armies for the operations against Shanghai and the 18th Army were also brought back to Shanghai by a clerk at the confidential office, and none of the agents responsible for chasing and killing Weng Xiaoyun did not come back. Until now, there has been no news. Needless to say, he must have been killed secretly by Du Haisheng. I'm afraid that this document has been saved in Du Haisheng's safe. For him, this is also a bomb. It may be thrown out by Du Haisheng at any time, which will cause another sensation in the Republic of China.

Although this top-secret document did not reach the armies in the end, because it was drafted by himself, the matter became more complicated and serious.

But now, Du Haisheng has no intention of dealing with him, but no one can guarantee that this unconventional guy will shake out such a burden when he is unhappy.

Although he had people sneaked into Shanghai City to try to get the document back, he had no choice but to. At that time, Du Haisheng's intelligence department arrested and investigated the people he placed in Shanghai, which completely paralyzed his intelligence organization in Shanghai overnight. Without the intelligence department to provide information, it would be equivalent to losing his eyes. In the end, I had to choose to give up.

In a word, Du Haisheng already knows that he is in trouble. If the time comes, he will definitely eradicate it. Therefore, this battle between the two is inevitable.

Du Haisheng now has more than 300,000 troops in his hands, which is the most important force among the warlords of the Republic of China. If it is not eradicated, I'm afraid it will cause a lot of trouble in the process of unifying the country.

This is also what he doesn't want to see.

Jiang Zhong was thinking about it, and then locked his eyes on the Central Plains, and finally landed in Hubei.

"Changqing's strategy is a wonderful move, but the current problem is that the Central Plains war is in full of fierce fighting. Originally, my idea was to use Chen Diaoyuan and Zhang Zongchang's troops to drag down Yan Xishan, most of Sun Liangcheng, Shi Yousan and Sun Dianying in Shandong, and give them to Anhui, Henan, Jiangsu and even Hubei. Our army on the field provides indirect support. At present, once the allied forces of Zhang Xueliang and Du Haisheng are stationed in Shandong, the crusade of Yan Xishan and Sun Dianying can all be free. Except for one left in Anhui and Henan, all of them are stationed in Hubei, and our favorable situation will be broken in an instant.

Yang Yongtai shook his head and said, "I'm not afraid of this." With that, he pointed to Hubei and other saying, "Now it is the rainy season in the south of the Yangtze River. Recently, there has been heavy to torrential rain on the whole line of the Yangtze River. The Yangtze River has soared, extremely fierce, and the water flow is rapid. A few days ago, I went down. Jiangwang Jianglou checked the water situation of the Yangtze River, and the passenger ships also stopped the transportation business because of the surge in the Yangtze River. Whether it is Sun Lianzhong or Yan Xishan's reinforcements, they can reach the Hanyang front line at most. If they want to cross the Yangtze River, it is tantamount to delusional to take Wuchang in the north of the Yangtze River.

"Then according to Changqing's meaning..."

Jiang Zhongzheng looked at the map and still had some concerns.

"Give up filial piety and retreat to Hanyang and Jianghan. Rely on solid fortifications to deal with the invading enemy, in order to deal with the accident, we should immediately notify Qian Dajun to recruit all civilian ships, passenger ships and fishing boats, learn from the Three Kingdoms period, and connect the ships into one. Once there is a failure, you can do it. They responded, returned to the south of the Yangtze River, fought with Qian Dajun's troops, and then destroyed all the ships, relying on the natural danger of the Yangtze River to guard against the invading enemy. Now, the cities south of the Yangtze River in Anhui are under our control, ordering the defenders in various places to destroy all the ships.

After a pause, Yang Yongtai said again, "Without the boat, no matter how good Sun Lianzhong is, he can't swim across the Yangtze River with the soldiers. I'm afraid that without the current Yangtze River, they don't dare."

Jiang and He Yingqin nodded repeatedly to agree when they heard about it. As Yang Yongtai said, there are no boats that can cross the river. Even if you can swim across the Yangtze River, what can you do? As long as the garrison on the south bank of Wuhan pull up fortifications in the Yangtze River, I'm afraid that if they haven't crossed the Yangtze River, they will be shot to death in the fierce river. It's in the water.

However, Yang Yongtai's proposal also has his drawbacks. In this way, it is indirectly equivalent to giving up all of Henan, Shandong, Anhui and northern Jiangsu, which is equivalent to saying that in this battle of the Central Plains, Jiang not only did not get any benefits, but also searched his troops and further squeezed his living space. It is equivalent to announcing that Yan Xishan and Feng Yuxiang's crusade army has obtained a large area of land in the Central Plains.

Once in winter, the river water decreases, and the other party will definitely cross the river and go straight to Nanjing. However, at that time, he will also have a chance to breathe, and it is not impossible to fight with the crusade army of Yan Xishan.

Moreover, he has also guessed that once the crusade wins the victory of the Central Plains, there will definitely be a dispute because of the distribution of benefits. At that time, if it disintegrates from the inside and breaks them one by one, it is not a good strategy. From another perspective, in fact, there is not much hard support for him now. Great benefits.

My army not only suffered heavy casualties, but also consumed a lot, and the weapons and ammunition could not be provided adequately. It is better to retreat and let them have a contradiction first. At that time, I will have a left-handed fisherman's profit and get back what I lost little by little.
