At 10 a.m. on November 21, Nanjing, the back garden of the Presidential Palace.
The chairman of the committee was drinking tea and reading the newspaper in the back garden. This was his daily homework.
He not only wanted to know what was happening at home and abroad from the mouths of those officials, but also wanted to know more from newspapers. Especially after he issued the order to move the capital yesterday, he wanted to see the comments of those literati.
There are many supporters, which makes the chairman very pleased.
But little did he know that the things in these newspapers had been purified. I am afraid that the chairman of the committee will never see those voices of opposition.
But at this time, the Chairman was complacent, thinking that his plan to move the capital was far-sighted, talented, capable of turning things around, unpredictable by ghosts and gods, and containing the aspirations of heaven and earth...
Anyway, our chairman believes that moving the capital is his most correct choice.
Of course, is it right to move the capital?
right! It is indeed a good idea to use space to exchange time. Be prepared for a protracted war with the Japanese.
But here comes the problem. Once the Chairman moved the capital, clinging to Nanjing lost its strategic significance.
Just imagine, you are already planning to move the capital, so is it still necessary to stick to Nanjing?
We must defend Nanjing, because Nanjing is the capital, so we must defend it.
But Nanjing is no longer the capital, just an ordinary provincial capital, so do we need to stick to it?
Perhaps many military officers thought so at the time, so the battle to defend Nanjing was very vigorous, but once the fight started, everyone had their own agenda.
At that time, one-third of the 150,000 Chinese soldiers escaped, one-third died in battle, and one-third were captured. However, the guard, Donald Duck, saw that things were not going well and escaped first.
Therefore, only the Overlord of Chu can fight with his last resort, and the battle to defend Nanjing can only be said to be costing lives.
150,000 Chinese soldiers fled to death and harmed a whole city of compatriots.
If it had been said from the beginning that Nanjing could not be defended, then the people in the city would have withdrawn to the rear, and there would have been no subsequent Nanjing tragedy.
Of course, the chairman of the committee was also in a dilemma at this time. On the one hand, the Japanese army was aggressive, but on the other hand, the tomb of the founding father was in Nanjing. He could not give up easily.
So this old gentleman may have made a wrong decision again. Lack of courage may be the Chairman's weakness.
"Report!"
At this moment, Secretary-General Yang arrived.
The chairman put down the newspaper and prepared to listen to Secretary-General Yang's report.
Secretary-General Yang reports to the Chairman every day unless something happens that he has to report.
For example, when Yushan fell last night, he asked the chairman for instructions. But the killing of people at the 48th Army Headquarters during the Dragon Boat Festival was postponed to ten o'clock today.
The chairman said: "That bastard Liu Ying was thrown into Yushan, so I wanted to kill him. But the Gui army suffered heavy casualties in this battle. I have to give Li Zhongren and Bai Chongxi some face, right? But I didn't expect that monkey The bastard was much more ruthless than me, and he killed people at the 48th Army headquarters."
Secretary-General Yang said: "Commissioner, in this case, that monkey boy has offended both the Northwest Army and the Gui Army."
The chairman smiled and said: "Yes, a newborn calf is not afraid of tigers. Sooner or later he will suffer."
Secretary-General Yang said: "Commissioner, I'm afraid now that all these things will be blamed on you. Because that little monkey is causing trouble in your name."
The chairman nodded and said: "This monkey cub should be restrained, otherwise it will cause even greater trouble and I won't be able to protect him. There are many factions in the National Government now. Sometimes what I say depends on other people's faces.
This group of greedy guys will surround me closely when they get something good. Once they suffer a loss, they will yell like a three-year-old child. It's so boring. "
"What the commissioner said is absolutely true. I will tell that monkey boy not to let him continue to mess around. If he doesn't know how to restrain himself, can the commissioner take back his rights as a special commissioner?"
Secretary-General Yang asked, but the Chairman was thinking. After a moment, he said: "No need for now, otherwise this little monkey will be in danger. He has offended so many people. If he takes back his rights now, I'm afraid he won't be able to return to Nanjing."
By the way, I asked you to recruit him back immediately. Where is he now? "
Secretary-General Yang replied: "The First Unit of the Independent Regiment is already on its way back to Nanjing, but the monkey boy went to Jiangyin Fortress. But don't worry, I heard that the monkey boy is lame. I think he will be there for a long time. It’s time to stop making trouble, he went to the 112th Division to pick up the wounded from the Independent Regiment, and should have returned to Nanjing.”
"Hahaha! That little monkey is lame, hahaha! Okay, if you don't teach him a lesson, he won't be honest, hahaha!"
The Chairman laughed, perhaps this was the best mood he had had recently.
"Haha, what the commissioner said is absolutely true, hahaha!"
Secretary-General Yang laughed in agreement.
A hundred miles away from Nanjing, the Dragon Boat Festival was woken up by a few sneezes while sleeping.
"Hey, who scolded me?"
Duanwu murmured, while reporter Fang sneered: "This is superstition."
Duanwu said: "You're superstitious. There are some things that you really can't believe if you don't believe them. When you miss someone, he or she will sneeze. And only one person will sneeze, no more, no less."
If you sneeze twice in a row, it means someone is scolding you behind your back. "
Reporter Fang still said in disbelief: "Then you sneezed three times, or more than three times?"
Duanwu scolded: "Old Fang, you are so stupid. If you sneeze more than three times, you have a cold."
"Hahaha, Tuanzuo, you, hahaha!"
Reporter Fang laughed so hard that his stomach hurt. You could say that the Dragon Boat Festival is superstitious, but he could also explain the scientific truth. Because it is absolutely true that continuous sneezing is either a cold or a cold.
The two of them were talking about something, but at this moment, a checkpoint suddenly appeared in front of them, and someone set up a checkpoint to block the road.
Reporter Fang said strangely: "At this time, all the armies are retreating, why would anyone set up a blockade here?"
"Yeah, what's the use of setting up a card here?"
Duanwu was also surprised. Looking at several soldiers wearing Northwest Army uniforms, he ordered reporter Fang to stop and ask about the situation first.
As soon as the leading car stopped, the following vehicles stopped one after another.
But before Duanwu got out of the car at this time, a non-commissioned officer trotted out from the checkpoint and saluted Duanwu: "Sir, the road ahead has collapsed, please go around it."
Duanwu thought to himself: Where is your liar? It hasn’t rained in three days, and you’re telling me about a landslide? Could it be that the good road will end on its own?
Duanwu nodded and said: "Okay, let's go back the way we came. Damn it, it's so unlucky that we have come this far, and there is a landslide in front of us. Lao Fang asked the convoy behind to go back, and informed Mr. Li that there was no way to pass. Well, we have to change our route to reinforce Jiangyin Fortress!..."
PS: That’s it for today. I’m very busy on New Year’s Day. It’s almost eleven o’clock and I’ve only written more than 2,000 words. Sorry guys, I wish you all a happy New Year. I will write a big chapter of the book tomorrow. Good night, brothers!
