"He is half Taiwanese. His mother is a survivor of the 'Xiaolong Tragedy'. She was taken to the mainland by a fellow villager on a small raft. He married and gave birth to him in the mainland. His surname is Xiao, his name is Xiao Yao, his style name is Haoran, he is 24 years old A graduate of the [-]th class of Whampoa!" Liu Fengling said, "He is a student of General Yang Jie, and he has a withdrawn temper, very indifferent, very gloomy, and it is not easy to get along with him!" (The Xiaolong tragedy, a massacre caused by the Japanese army in Taiwan.

After the Sino-Japanese War, Taiwan was ceded to Japan by the Qing government. The local soldiers and civilians in Taiwan spontaneously rose up to resist. Prince Kitashirakawa Miyanohisa, a member of the Japanese royal family, led a regiment of guards into Taiwan to wipe out the anti-Japanese organizations. Taking revenge and venting hatred, a massacre was carried out in the Xiaolong area, killing all the local people, and countless victims died.

Jiang Weiguo smiled: "A student of General Yang? No wonder!" Yang Jie was a famous military strategist and military scientist in China at this time, and he was as famous as Jiang Baili. Scholar", and together with Jiang Baili, Bai Chongxi, and Liu Fei, was called "China's three and a half chiefs of staff" by foreign military circles.

Yang Jie, who is proud of his talent and wild and unruly, once assisted Chiang Kai-shek in the decisive victory in the Central Plains (Jiang Baili had no actual combat experience in leading troops, but Yang Jie did). When Chiang Kai-shek formed the Lushan Officer Training Corps, Chiang Kai-shek was the regiment leader and Yang Jie was the deputy commander.

Yang Jie had a great reputation and a big temper. He scolded anyone who didn’t like it. When the Central Army encircled and suppressed the Red Army for the fourth time, Chen Cheng was beaten to death by Zhu De. Yang Jie called Chen Cheng “just a pig.” The plan was shown to Yang Jie, and Yang Jie tore it up after reading it and scolded "shit doesn't make sense".

Because of Yang Jie's bad temper, although Chiang Kai-shek attached great importance to his talent, he didn't like him very much, and basically asked him to be responsible for training officers and going abroad. But in fact, they were all taught by Yang Jie).

Yang Jie is very similar to Jiang Baili. Both of them are talented, but neither can be reused by Chiang Kai-shek. He didn't give Chiang Kai-shek any face; when Jiang Baili was sent to Germany, Yang Jie was sent to the Soviet Union, and the mission was accomplished very well (Yang Jie was sent to the Soviet Union without Jiang Weiguo's help), and won a large amount of aid, so he was promoted to the second general.

"General Yang likes Xiao Yao very much, and personally arranged a few good places for him, but he doesn't like them!" Liu Fengling said with a smile, "First arrange him to go to Hu Zongnan's 1st Division, but after he went there for two days, he just walked away. Gan, saying that Hu Zongnan's ambition is great, but his name is in vain'; then he arranged for him to go to Huang Jie's 2nd Division, but he packed up and left after a day, saying that Huang Jie's eyes are high but his hands are low, and he is very happy'; General Yang then arranged for him to go to Tang Enbo's 4nd Division. In the 11th division, he left after half a day, saying that Tang Enbo was "arrogant, domineering and self-willed"; he was arranged to go to Huang Wei's 3th division. In essence, he is a nerd who sticks to the rules and talks on paper. He is suitable to be an instructor in a military academy, but not a general. If he really goes to the battlefield, he will definitely suffer defeat'; and then arrange for him to go to the Central Military Academy in Gui Yongqing to teach the corps. He went there for two hours. Turning his head and leaving, he said that Gui Yongqing was 'boastful and flashy', Gui Yongqing scolded him 'a dog's eyes look down on people, and he doesn't piss to see what he is', he replied Gui Yongqing, 'I thought you were a grown man. A person who looks like a pig, I didn’t expect you to be a pig that looks like a human.” Gui Yongqing almost died of anger. If General Yang was not present, Gui Yongqing would have shot him dead on the spot. In the end, he reluctantly I have taken a fancy to Li Yutang's [-]rd Division, but I am still not satisfied, and commented that Li Yutang is "courageous and resourceful but well-regulated, not decisive enough"!"

Jiang Weiguo laughed: "This Xiao Yao is quite picky!"

Liu Fengling smiled: "He is such a person, a little cold and arrogant.

Yingzuo, shall I bring him over to see you? "

Jiang Weiguo nodded: "Good!" He was very interested in this Xiao Yao.

Chapter 106

Ten minutes later, that Xiao Yao was brought into Jiang Weiguo's office by Liu Fengling.

Jiang Weiguo looked at Xiao Yao very curiously. Xiao Yao's military rank is an army captain. This person is well-proportioned and slender, not strong, but not thin. Indifferent, with no expression on his face, his appearance can be said to be "stern and handsome", Jiang Weiguo noticed that Xiao Yao's skin was very fair, but his white skin had white spots one after another, and there were also spots on his face.

"Vitiligo?" Jiang Weiguo immediately thought of this disease. He looked at Xiao Yao and secretly regretted that this person was actually very handsome, his "face value" was no less than that of Jiang Weiguo himself, but he had vitiligo, which completely ruined his handsomeness. And it made him look rather gloomy.

"Xiao Yao...Xiao Haoran?" Jiang Weiguo greeted Xiao Yao with a smile on his face, "Well, brother Haoran, please sit down!"

Xiao Yao sat down without saying a word, and looked at Jiang Weiguo silently, his eyes were cold but sharp, as if he could read people's hearts, he seemed to be sizing up and judging Jiang Weiguo.

Jiang Weiguo felt that this scene was very strange. He was clearly the "examiner" and the other party was a "job seeker" who came to interview the applicant, but the atmosphere was not quite right. It seemed to be the other way around. The other party was assessing whether he could become his boss.

Jiang Weiguo didn't want Xiao Yao to comment behind his back that he was a "pig-like person" or a "human-looking pig". Of course, to be honest, Jiang Weiguo felt that the latter comment was much more lethal than the previous one. No wonder Gui Yongqing was so angry that he wanted to shoot him.

"Brother Yingzuo, Haoran, talk slowly!" Liu Fengling went out with a smile.

"I don't know what the second son's ambition is?" Only in Jiang Weiguo and Xiao Yao's office, Xiao Yao said straightly.

Jiang Weiguo smiled and said seriously: "Of course it is to protect the family and the country and revitalize China!"

Xiao Yao also smiled slightly, and Jiang Weiguo found that Xiao Yao not only "ghostly-looking", but "even more sinister" when he smiled.

"Second son, I know what you have done in the past half a year, please forgive me for asking, will you go to the battlefield in person?" Xiao Yao asked Jiang Weiguo seemingly casually but meaningfully.

"Of course!" Jiang Weiguo's tone was so firm that it could be said to be resolute. However, he also wanted to test the other party to see if the other party has real talents and learning. It is uncomfortable to be passive. How will it proceed?"

Xiao Yao squinted his eyes, got up and walked to the map of China hanging on the wall, and looked at Jiang Weiguo: "It depends on the determination, courage and intelligence of the Japanese!"

Jiang Weiguo suddenly became more interested: "Please enlighten me!"

Xiao Yao "pointed" the map with his eyes: "China's terrain is low in the east and high in the west, with plains in the east, hills in the center, and mountains in the west. So far, if the north and south of China are divided, the north and the south are confronted, and the north and the south are at war, except for the Ming Dynasty and the Republic of China, all the northern expeditions of all dynasties have failed. The south's attack on the north is hesitant, and the north's attack on the south is unstoppable. The reasons for this phenomenon are complex. There is no need to analyze for a while.

Against this backdrop of a strong north and a weak south, if the Japanese are firstly smart enough, secondly have the determination to completely destroy China, and thirdly prepare psychologically, manpower, materially and financially for a protracted war, then, Japan will attack China like this: use all the power of the whole country, quickly form 120 divisions with 100 million troops, dispatch several divisions to launch a feint attack in the Songhu area of ​​East China, and threaten the capital Nanjing. Taking Nanjing or Shanghai as the goal was only to attract the elite main force of the national army to the coastal areas of East China. The main force of the Japanese army used forty divisions and about [-] million troops to take North China as the main battlefield. North to south, rolling forward, divided into three groups, one along the Jinpu line (Tianjin to Nanjing Pukou District), the other along the Ping-Han line (Peking to Wuhan), two-pronged approach, all-out southward invasion, the third attacking the northwest region, with Xi'an Targeting important cities in the northwest, such as Chengdu, Lanzhou, etc., cut off the international traffic lines in northern China at one stroke, and then invaded the southwest region, targeting the Sichuan Basin, captured Chengdu, Chongqing, Kunming and other important cities in the southwest, and went south in three directions, completely cutting China from north to south Firstly, North China, Northwest China, and Southwest China will be the first target, then Central China will be the second target, and finally, from west to east, the East China and South China will be attacked calmly, and the transportation hub cities in the hinterland of China will be captured one by one.

The Japanese army first occupied the western part of China, and then moved from west to east. The Japanese navy immediately launched an attack from the eastern coastal area of ​​China, from east to west, flanking back and forth, and drove them to the coastal plains and hilly areas of East China and South China so that there was no danger to rely on. With nowhere to go, the national army field troops who had no way to retreat, fought to the last ditch, and were attacked by the enemy, were wiped out by the sea, dismembered China, and paralyzed China.

This strategy is time-consuming and labor-intensive. It is estimated that it will take two years. It will consume a lot of manpower, material resources, and financial resources, but the chances of winning are extremely high. The Mongol Empire was wiped out with this strategy.

Difficult first and then easy, copy the opponent's nest at the beginning, cut off the opponent's retreat, and then gobble it up without any haste!"

Jiang Weiguo held back the throbbing in his heart and lit a cigarette: "Do Japanese people do this?"

Xiao Yao shook his head: "No!"

Jiang Weiguo looked at Xiao Yao closely: "The reason?"

Xiao Yao looked at the map: "First, the Japanese are not smart enough; second, the Japanese are tough on the inside, strong on the outside, but strong on the outside, and have the ambition to destroy China, but lack sufficient determination to destroy China; Qiankun, and Japan's national strength is weak. Although it does have the ability to destroy China, it does not have the courage to put all its eggs in one basket.

The other side of a big victory is going bankrupt and losing everything. The Japanese don't have that much courage.

In addition, the impact of the international situation must also be considered.

The Sino-Japanese war is not a matter between China and Japan, it involves a reshuffle of the global structure, neither the United States nor the Soviet Union can sit back and watch Japan destroy China!"

"Please be specific!"

"Japan's strategy of destroying China should first go from north to south, and then from west to east, but this is time-consuming and labor-intensive and has little initial effect, because China's elite and wealthy areas are all on the eastern coast, and the Chinese capital Nanjing is only [-] meters away from the coastline. Three hundred kilometers.

The Japanese army first attacked the poor and rough western China. Although it could lay the foundation for the final victory, there was too little money in the initial stage. If the Japanese army first attacked the prosperous and developed eastern China, although it would be profitable at the beginning, it also laid the foundation for the final failure.

The Japanese will choose the latter for three reasons. One is that the Japanese are eager for success and short-sighted, hoping to completely solve China within a year or even a few months, so they are impatient to take complicated routes; The national power is weak. If you attack the eastern part of China as soon as the war starts, you can get rich returns quickly, and you can also plunder the wealth of the eastern part of China to make up for the loss of Japan's national power. Nanjing, the capital of China in the east, can force China to surrender, end the war of aggression against China quickly, and win the war.

Since the Japanese have the idea of ​​quick victory, they will almost certainly take the route from east to west!"

Jiang Weiguo looked at Xiao Yao, and continued to question: "The Sino-Japanese war is imminent, what should we do now?"

Xiao Yao has a plan in mind: "The first is to strengthen the strength of the North China National Army, the second is to wait for the opportunity to take the initiative to attack in East China, and the third is to strengthen the Nanjing city defense project!"

"please explain!"

"It goes without saying that the purpose of strengthening the strength of the North China National Army is to withstand the pace of the Japanese army going south in North China.

Among the three provinces of Shanxi, Hebei and Shandong, Hebei Province is the most difficult to defend. The whole province is the North China Plain and there is no danger to defend. Shanxi Province is the best. More than half of the province is plain, and the Japanese army can land on the Shandong Peninsula at will. Among the three provinces in North China, Shanxi Province is the most important. As long as Shanxi Province is not lost, it can not only prevent the Japanese army from going south, but also become a barrier to prevent the Japanese army from advancing westward. Secondly, the national army waited for the opportunity to take the initiative to attack in East China. The purpose was to cooperate with the defense strategy of North China, to provoke and anger the Japanese army. Then use the national capital Nanjing as a bait to attract and force the Japanese army to increase its troops on the East China battlefield, and add that North China blocks the Japanese army from going south. Then, the Japanese army’s strategy of destroying China from north to south and then from west to east will completely lose its feasibility. Half of the war has already been won; third, to strengthen the Nanjing city defense project with all strength, and prepare to fight a huge defensive battle in Nanjing. One is to fight for the dignity of the country, and the other is to fight for the victory strategy. Needless to say, the former The latter is more significant.

If Nanjing was impenetrable and rock-solid under the Japanese attack, holding down more than 30 Japanese troops, then the center of gravity of the Japanese invasion of China would be further attracted to East China.

Nanjing is the capital of China. The Japanese believe that as long as Nanjing is captured, they can force China to surrender. Therefore, Nanjing is their first goal. More and more military power is used to attack Nanjing, isn't our strategic goal achieved?The Japanese army no longer went from north to south, from west to east, but from east to west, and embarked on a path that became more difficult and ultimately defeated!" Xiao Yao looked at Jiang Weiguo with torch-like eyes.

Jiang Weiguo laughed, he took a deep breath on his cigarette, held back the excitement in his heart, and looked at Xiao Yao very sincerely: "Brother Haoran, I thought that to get a talent, I had to visit the thatched cottage, but I didn't expect that I would get such a high-level talent as you , welcome!" His last three words have already indicated that he wants to accept Xiao Yao's attitude.

Jiang Weiguo was very amazed in his heart, and he secretly admired Xiao Yao, because this guy's strategic vision is advanced, his strategic mind is extremely good, and his ability to "predict and predict things like a god" about history is no less than Jiang Weiguo's "hand-held A history cheater who reads the heavenly scriptures, sees the heavenly secrets, and exploits cheats.”

"Three visits to the thatched cottage?" Xiao Yao smiled meaningfully, "Rather than saying that Liu Bei visited the thatched cottage three times, I think it's Zhuge Liang's pretentious posturing to be sold.

When Liu Bei went to the hut, Zhuge Liang was already waiting for Liu Bei to come to the hut.

If Zhuge Liang really just wanted to go back to the mountains and forests and keep aloof from the world, why did he need to learn the strategy of governing the country?And why give yourself the famous name of "Wolong"?And why do you often make big claims, calling yourself the contemporary Guan Zhongleyi?On the one hand, advertising and on the other hand pretending to be a worldly expert, this is a means of raising one's own social status by means of wanting to promote before suppressing, and retreating to advance.

Liu Bei needs Zhuge Liang, Zhuge Liang also needs Liu Bei, and Zhuge Liang needs Liu Bei more than Liu Bei needs Zhuge Liang. Otherwise, how can his strategic knowledge come in handy?How could he achieve his ambitions?How can he leave his name in history?How could he really be willing to be a mediocre farmer in Nanyang all his life?Zhuge Liang is just waiting for the opportunity to find a lord worthy of his service and allegiance!"

Jiang Weiguo smiled: "Brother Haoran, are you too? So before I came to look for you in thatched cottage, you recommended yourself to come to me!"

Xiao Yao smiled, did not speak, and his attitude was equal to acquiescence.

Jiang Weiguo threw away the cigarette butt in his hand, lit another one, and asked Xiao Yao: "How do you think Nanjing should guard?"

Without hesitation, Xiao Yao said: "The four plans are abandoning, sticking to, sticking to, and sticking to.

Abandoning the defense means retreating without fighting, not caring about the gains and losses of a city or a place, and preserving strength for a long-term battle in the later stage; holding on is arranging troops, launching field battles, and finally breaking through and retreating when the enemy is about to completely encircle Nanjing; Deploy effective troops to guard Nanjing itself, and the main force is waiting for opportunities to annihilate the enemy in the outskirts to fight a battle of Nanjing; Fight to the end, when the city is broken, the whole army will be wiped out!" He looked at Jiang Weiguo, "If you decide, which one would you choose? "

"Stay!" Jiang Weiguo did not hesitate.

"Why?" Xiao Yao asked Jiang Weiguo with interest.

"Because..." Jiang Weiguo looked resolutely, "Killing as many Japanese as possible is my first goal, even the only goal! Although the first plan can preserve strength, it is too useless, even too shameful, why? Can the Japanese easily occupy our capital? Do you want to step into our capital without paying [-] lives? Although the second and third plans can kill the enemy, they are still not exciting enough to maximize the damage Japanese invaders, if people care too much about their own way out, they will not be able to fight to the end; the fourth plan is the most perfect and ideal, I like it!"

Xiao Yao narrowed his eyes: "If you choose the fourth plan, will you be a member of the troops defending Nanjing?"

"Yes!" Jiang Weiguo's tone was firm and resounding.

Xiao Yao nodded, his expression became very sincere: "Second Young Master, I choose you, and I hope you can choose me too!"

"Come be the chief of staff of our battalion!" Jiang Weiguo extended his hand sincerely, "I am very happy that you will be my 'military adviser'!"

Xiao Yao shook hands with Jiang Weiguo: "Good!"

Jiang Weiguo asked with a smile: "Why do you say 'you choose me'?"

Xiao Yao is very calm: "You are the principal's youngest son, you have many natural advantages, following you can realize my ideal to the greatest extent.

Hu Zongnan, Huang Jie, Li Yutang, Tang Enbo, Huang Wei, Gui Yongqing, they are completely inferior to you!"

Jiang Weiguo laughed, he looked at Xiao Yao: "What is your ideal?"

Xiao Yao was very calm, almost naked: "Kill the Japanese, kill as many Japanese as possible!"

Jiang Weiguo laughed, and he punched Xiao Yao: "Brother, we are bosom friends, because our ideals are the same!" He paused and asked, "What are your plans now?"

Xiao Yao said: "The army training does not need my help at all. I want to go to Songhu, Jiangyin, Nanjing and other places to conceive the construction or improvement of the southern Jiangsu defense project, especially Nanjing!"

Jiang Weiguo nodded: "Okay! I will fully support you!"

"By the way, you have to pay attention..." Xiao Yao thought of something, walked up to Jiang Weiguo, and said something in a low voice.

Jiang Weiguo was taken aback: "No way?"

Xiao Yao looked at Jiang Weiguo: "Sure, you are the second son of Jiang, and your troops are also the first batch of armored troops of the national army!"

Jiang Weiguo nodded understandingly.

Chapter 107 The Great Migration

Jiang Weiguo was busy with many things after he was discharged from the hospital. At the same time, he has been busy with a particularly important event, that is, the great retreat, great transfer, and great migration in the eastern region.

Anyone with a discerning eye knows that once China and Japan go to war, the war will inevitably be a long, protracted war and a war of attrition, and the coastal plains in eastern China are doomed to fall at the beginning of the war. It is a top priority. It can not only maintain the foundation of China's national strength and lay a good foundation for the protracted war of resistance, but also prevent the eastern region from becoming the second northeast region and a base for the Japanese to obtain resources and wealth. This major event must be the sooner the better. The earlier the better.

By April 1937, Jiang Weiguo felt more and more urgent, because there were only three months. Before that, the transfer and relocation of the military industry had been completed one step ahead of schedule, concentrated in Nanjing, Wuhan, Chongqing, Fuzhou, Taiyuan (Luoyang) Five places; it is worth mentioning that although Jiang Weiguo asked Germany to help China build an aircraft factory, China actually had two aircraft factories at this time. The first is the Nanchang Aircraft Manufacturing Factory in Nanchang. The two factories have purchased a lot of advanced equipment. They do not have the ability to develop aircraft, but they have the ability to imitate and repair aircraft. Of course, the output is not high. Transfer to Chongqing with priority, and merge with the aircraft factory established with German aid to China.

Agriculture cannot be moved, only industry can be moved. After the most important military industry, there are heavy industry, chemical industry, and light industry. At this time, according to statistics, the use of machines as power, employment There are nearly 30 factories with more than 4000 workers, and more than 3300 are located in coastal areas, accounting for more than 82%. Among them, there are more than 1200 factories in Shanghai, accounting for one-third of the total number of factories in the country. Shanghai's industrial assets exceed 1.5 million French currency, accounting for nearly 40% of the country's industrial assets. There are more than 11 workers in Shanghai, accounting for nearly 32% of the total number of workers in the country. The proportion of the data is obvious.

In the original history, this "Great Retreat" actually went very poorly. The biggest reason was that we didn't have a good grasp of the time. For example, in Shanghai, until the Battle of Songhu broke out, the factory relocation in Shanghai was still dragging its feet and procrastinating. La, first, the national government did not attach great importance to it, and the mobilization efforts were insufficient; second, many senior officials of the national government, as well as many factory directors and entrepreneurs, "don't shed tears when they see the coffin". This "conflict" (actually a large-scale battle, a full-scale bloody battle) will end soon, like the Songhu War of Resistance five years ago, while fighting and negotiating, and finally ended through negotiations, so I don't think it is necessary to leave; Factory managers and entrepreneurs are unwilling to relocate. They either feel that they will lose financial resources and various conveniences after withdrawing to the inland, and the enterprise will not be able to develop or maintain. They feel that even if the Japanese army occupies Shanghai, they can rely on the concession to take refuge. They are unwilling to take risks. They are nostalgic for Shanghai. At this time, the traffic was inconvenient, and the national government's finances were tight, so it was unable to forcefully help private enterprises and factories to start a full-scale retreat.

The combination of so many negative reasons made the "Great Retreat" in the original history fall into a temporary embarrassment at the end, and had to retreat while fighting. Therefore, there is a positive meaning of the Songhu Battle in the original history. Three months of precious time", these three months are for the retreat of the factory directors and entrepreneurs who are in front of their noses. Of course, just three months is definitely not enough, and the Japanese army is in the sky again. The planes kept dropping bombs, so it was very rushed.

What Jiang Weiguo has to do at this time is to do his best to make up for this crucial event.

When Jiang Weiguo formally proposed this huge plan to Chiang Kai-shek, Chiang Kai-shek agreed. On the one hand, he also had this plan, but he had not really made up his mind (after all, he did not know that the full-scale war of resistance would break out on July 1937, 7). He absolutely trusted Jiang Weiguo at this time, and in addition, Jiang Weiguo had obtained hundreds of millions of dollars in loans from Germany (the money was not in the Ministry of Finance of the Nationalist Government, but in the Overseas Department of the Nationalist Government, which was in the hands of Jiang Weiguo), financial resources Temporarily, there is a lot of relief, so Chiang Kai-shek once again gave Jiang Weiguo a Shangfang sword and asked his military industry department to take charge of the matter.

After receiving the Shangfang sword from Chiang Kai-shek, Jiang Weiguo received a telegram from Chiang Ching-kuo. April 4 was Chiang Ching-kuo’s 27th birthday. Chiang Ching-kuo had not yet left for Dayu County and was still in Xikou Town, so he invited his younger brother to Xikou Town My hometown celebrated his birthday with him.

How could Jiang Weiguo have that thought, and sent someone to send a "Meiling" car to his brother as a birthday present.
