Anti-Japanese War: From Becoming Chu Yunfei to Rising

Chapter 353: Blackmailing someone and arranging a marriage (Subscription required)
"Let's go take a look?"

Luo Weiguo smiled and nodded: "Okay."

Chu Yunfei looked in the direction of the voice and asked: "Where did they send them?"

"I was assigned to the interrogation room."

"Interrogation?" Chu Yunfei raised his eyebrows: "Then go over there"

Several people walked quickly to the interrogation room.

It is slightly different from the dark dungeons in traditional movies and TV dramas.

What Zhao Pengcheng called an interrogation room was actually no different from an ordinary room.

There were no torture instruments, and the room was clean and tidy, not really looking like an interrogation place.

"This is my first time in a place like this. Is this an interrogation room?"

Luo Weiguo was confused.

Chu Yunfei grinned and said, "Physical torture is secondary. The most important thing is to break through the psychological defenses."

Even so.

But next to this "reception room" is the real interrogation room, which is not only equipped with all kinds of torture instruments, but also with a medical room.

If necessary, doctors and nurses will be transferred from the hospital to provide rescue services.

Be polite before fighting.

Chu Yunfei is a principled person.

It’s not that there hasn’t been corresponding interrogations before.

But it is usually completed by Sun Ming, with Chu Yunfei providing guidance.

Previously, when it was the 358th Regiment,
At that time, their main interrogation targets were basically bandits and robbers.

Regarding this aspect.

Chu Yunfei, who had read Shen Zui's memoirs and a lot of spy novels, had a pretty good understanding of it.

Let's talk about the diehards.

But if you kill him, you kill him.

Chu Yunfei didn't care about this so-called information.

"Director Liang"

Liang Ganqiao was a student of the first class of Whampoa Military Academy.

It's considered a long-term experience.

The fact that Chu Yunfei mentioned his position itself conveyed a sense of distance.

Liang Ganqiao originally thought that he could save his life by relying on his status as a Whampoa student.

But Chu Yunfei never mentioned it.

At this time, it is inevitable to be a little panic.

Regardless of decency, even with a bandage on his face, he stood up and saluted: "Commander Chu"

"Sit down." Chu Yunfei nodded slightly as a courtesy.

Liang Ganqiao waited in silence for Chu Yunfei to take his seat and then sat on the bench opposite.

Seeing this, Zhou Daxing stood aside obediently.

It’s not like he didn’t ask questions just now.

But Liang Ganqiao was like a mute.

Almost no sound was made.

This made Zhou Daxing wonder if he had been too harsh.

And with the arrival of Chu Yunfei.

Liang Ganqiao, who was originally taciturn, now seemed to be a chatterbox: "Commander Chu, please listen to my explanation of this matter. There must be some misunderstanding. I am also carrying out the task assigned by my superiors."

"A task from a higher authority?" Chu Yunfei chuckled. "You, the military commanders, took my soldiers away from my territory. Did you get my consent?"

Liang Ganqiao shook his head in silence: "No."

nonsense!

Everyone knows that you, Chu Yunfei, are protective of your soldiers and love them like your own sons. This is not just propaganda.

Chu Yunfei could not only call out the name of every platoon leader and above.

And at his request.

Nowadays, all troops basically follow the rules of the old 358th Regiment.

Each combat company and each combat unit basically has a roster and company history.

It records the hometown and name of every officer and soldier, as well as every battle, victory or failure they have fought.

They are all part of the company's history, something that no one can change.

"You dare to arrest my soldiers without my permission. Tell me who sent you."

Liang Ganqiao was silent.

Chu Yunfei tentatively gave two answers: "Dai Yunong, or the chairman?"

Liang Ganqiao still had a strong desire to survive: "I can't say."

Since he can’t say it, then it must be the chairman.

If it was Dai Yunong, Liang Ganqiao would never have kept it a secret for Dai Yunong.

"Chairman?" Chu Yunfei sneered, "Everyone knows that I, Chu Yunfei, am the chairman's right-hand man. Would the chairman send you to arrest my people?"

"Not the Chairman" Liang Ganqiao doesn't want to die, and he is certainly not a fool.

"Dai Yunong has already called me, and it wasn't him who gave the order. Who is Director Liang working for?" Chu Yunfei looked at Liang Ganqiao with a smile.

Liang Ganqiao has an extremely hot temper.

While studying in the Soviet Union, he would often point fingers at others and curse at them over debates.

But now, he is as well-behaved as a little lamb.

After a moment of silence, he asked tentatively, "Commander Chu, whose orders should I have followed?"

Chu Yunfei did not respond directly: "During the Guangdong-Guangxi Incident, you made great contributions, but what about now?"

Mention the Guangdong-Guangxi Incident.

That was one of the highlights in Liang Ganqiao's life.

He also played a role in the espionage activities he led, the disintegration of the Guangdong-Guangxi Air Force, and the forcing of Chen to step down.

Because of this incident, he was given an important position.

It’s just because of the training class.

He was also suspected by Dai Yunong, and his power was basically lost.

Dai Yunong is an ambitious person.

There are many different accounts of his death in history.

Chu Yunfei is more inclined to the statement of Shen Zui, one of the members of the investigation team.

An ordinary plane crash.

It’s just that because of Dai Yunong’s position and his actions and many other reasons.

This makes this incident a historical mystery.

Because he knows Chang Ruiyuan too well, he has always portrayed himself as an honest bureaucrat.

After his death, Chang Ruiyuan cursed him.

This is also because of what Dai Yunong said from this perspective.

He is also a simple-minded person with a smooth appearance.

"I like to talk to smart people. Director Liang, are you a smart person?"

"I should be."

Liang Ganqiao was a little unconfident.

If Chu Yunfei wanted to use this incident to do something.

The spearhead can only be directed at Dai Yunong.

But if you look at it from Chu Yunfei's perspective.

There is no benefit in dealing with Dai Yunong.

As for Chu Yunfei's other enemies.

That's too much.
There were so many that Liang Ganqiao couldn't figure out for a while what kind of article Chu Yunfei wanted to write.

"That's good." Chu Yunfei chose to be a riddle man. My adjutant will talk to you about this matter, but not here.

"Commander Chu, I am willing to cooperate. There is no need to torture me anymore, right?" Liang Ganqiao's face changed slightly.

"That won't fool Dai Yunong." Chu Yunfei chuckled.

He turned and walked away, leaving behind a sentence: "Zhou Daxing, Weiguo, you two follow me."

"Yes!"

Zhao Pengcheng had a blank expression on his face and raised his right hand to signal: "Director Liang, please..."

"My brothers?"

"Please rest assured, Commander Chu has previously ordered that their lives will be spared. After all, you are just following orders."

"What about the Chairman?" Liang Ganqiao asked tentatively.

Zhao Pengcheng seemed to have heard nothing at all and just gestured to Liang Ganqiao to leave the room.

After walking out of the interrogation room.

Chu Yunfei was in a relatively relaxed mood.

"Sir." Zhou Daxing was about to speak, but Chu Yunfei interrupted him with a wave of his hand: "Let's talk about it when we get back..."

"Yes!"

Chu Yunfei frowned and fell into deep thought.

Liang Ganqiao bites people.

I couldn't bite anything out.

His target could only be directed at Dai Yunong.

And now such a big thing has happened.

If Dai Yunong had not come to Shanxi to rescue the people, it would not have been so easy to lead the Military Control Commission's team.

How to calm Chu Yunfei's anger is indeed a science.

Dai Yunong naturally doesn't have this ability.

In order to maintain the military control with Dai Yunong as the core.

Chang Ruiyuan will definitely have to pay some price.

His trust in Dai Yunong did not come overnight.

Dai Yunong possessed many privileges that many of his direct lineage generals did not have.

It can even be seen from many materials that this has been going on for a very long period of time.

Chang Ruiyuan really treats Dai Yunong as his "son".

There aren't so many twists and turns in getting along with each other.

"This interrogation is simpler than I thought."

"Liang Ganqiao is sure that I dare not kill him, so he cooperates with me."

Luo Weiguo was shocked: "Did the Chairman really send him?"

"It must be. Dai Yunong doesn't have the guts to offend me."

Chu Yunfei put his hands behind his back.

get ahead.

The steps are still brisk.

Apparently he didn't take this matter too seriously. "So what should we do?"

Chu Yunfei said calmly, "Come back with some money and arrange the wedding."

"We cannot let the chairman's suspicion delay our war progress."

"What about the Red Party?"

Chu Yunfei snorted coldly: "At this critical juncture of the war, if Jiang Gong doesn't understand the situation, then I suggest giving him a gun and letting him go to the battlefield to fight."

Luo Weiguo's face changed: "This Jiang Gong can't be so confused, right?"

Chu Yunfei remained silent and just kept moving forward.

In the duty room.

Zhang Dayun and Fang Ligong were carefully selecting the battlefield.

This matter was proposed by Huang Baitao.

He hopes to be able to conduct corresponding combat training during the second month of the recruit training.

The plan was so detailed that Chu Yunfei hesitated for a long time before making a corresponding rebuttal.

But Huang Baitao did not give up.

Instead, a more detailed rotation training and reorganization plan was formulated.

After reading it carefully, Chu Yunfei felt that it made sense.

So he handed this matter over to Fang Ligong.

"What's wrong? Did you encounter any problems with the actual combat training?"

Fang Ligong and Zhang Dayun stood at attention and saluted.

"Because of the weapons and ammunition, there are not many battlefield directions to choose from, and the scale of the battle also needs to be controlled to a certain extent, so."

Chu Yunfei asked directly: "Are you worried about losing too many soldiers?"

"Correct!"

"After a new round of mobilization and replenishment, the number of soldiers that can be recruited in southeastern Shanxi has almost reached its limit without affecting local economic development."

"At present, our army is still mainly continuing the previous three-level mobilization system."

"It maintains its existence through the situation of field army-local forces-militia self-defense forces."

"After replenishment, our combat troops have barely reached the pre-war level in terms of manpower, but we still have a long way to go in terms of combat quality and training."

"The number of local troops has dropped by another one-third compared to before, and it is impossible to replenish them further."

"The militia and self-defense forces are less affected except in the war zone, but it is also difficult to transform them into a field army."

Chu Yunfei nodded.

Subconsciously opened the base construction template submodule.

Current population: 382 million

[Estimated GDP: 11503 million (French currency)]

[Current estimated total annual revenue: 2018 million (French currency)]

Current tax capacity: 81%

[The current estimated number of recruits is: 14 (34)]

[Current base development rating: 14 (out of )]

[Current pillar industries of the base area: tobacco industry; mining industry;]

Current literacy rate: 46%

[Current stability: 73%]

[Special: Increase the base's pillar industry resources by 5%]

[Current base construction sub-module upgrade requirements: 1. Find a new pillar industry for the current base; 2. Stabilize the stability above 70%]

First, the population aspect.

Because of the war, even though a large number of refugees were taken in, the number did not increase much.

The estimated total amount of GDP has indeed increased significantly.

But they are basically newly reclaimed wasteland that is tax-free and cannot provide much tax revenue.

As for Chu Yunfei’s most critical issue, the estimated number of soldiers that can be recruited.

A little lower than before.

I guess it has something to do with this war.

Although many counties were recovered, the Japanese invaders suffered heavy casualties.

But at the same time, the sacrifices we made were also huge.

The vast majority of these pains are borne by the people of Shanxi.

The system panel shows that the current estimated number of recruits is 140,000, which cannot be achieved at least for now.

340,000 soldiers is the theoretical limit for the number of soldiers of appropriate age for conscription.

Basically it can only be used for reference.

The upgrade of system sub-modules requires a new pillar industry.

This is also the reason why Chu Yunfei vigorously develops military-related industries.

Only so far.

It's just a basic prototype.

It is difficult to form a characteristic industry at least within one year.

"As for the work of absorbing refugees, I suggest that Zhuo Tianyu be sent to be in charge. At this time, the Agricultural Reclamation Corps and the Construction Corps have shown their due role and combat effectiveness in this battle."

Chu Yunfei nodded slowly: "Brother Ligong is absolutely right, let's do as you say."

"Then I'll draft the telegram." Zhang Dayun glanced at Zhou Daxing and vaguely guessed something.

He simply left the duty room under the pretext of drafting a telegram.

After Zhang Dayun left, Chu Yunfei no longer had a good face: "You are in your own regiment headquarters, and you just leave when they ask you to?"

"Sir, Director Liang said he received a secret order from his superiors and asked me to assist in the investigation."

"Don't you have any vigilance at all? Did I remind you in vain?"

Chu Yunfei frowned slightly, looking displeased.

"I was careless. Please punish me severely, sir."

"Punishment?" Chu Yunfei shook his head: "How can I punish someone for something so shameful? Am I not ashamed?"

"It has already happened, so we should learn from it. If the people below hadn't been smart enough to report it immediately, how would you, as the regiment commander, explain to Commander Chu and Commander Yan if something really went wrong?"

Fang Ligong was silent for a moment and then gave his own advice: "In my opinion, this matter should not be exaggerated. Internal review is enough. At least all troops should take it as a warning and not let down their guard because of so-called "friendly forces" or "colleagues."

"We have a special status now. We are called the Jinsui Army, but we wear the uniforms of the Central Army. We are called the Jin Army, but we are directly under the command of the headquarters. Because of this, and because I have made many enemies before, we need to be more cautious."

"Go back and think about this carefully." Chu Yunfei waved his hand.

Zhou Daxing stood at attention and saluted: "Yes, sir, I will reflect on this carefully when I return."

After turning around and leaving.

Fang Ligong was discussing another matter at this time: "The first batch of supplies has entered the enemy-occupied area a few days ago. The 18th Group Army carried out the first batch of distribution, and the effect is very good. They want to further deepen cooperation."

"The 115th Division has less than 15,000 men at most. This amount of salt is enough to make things difficult for them."

"As long as we maintain the current trade volume, we can support at least 15,000 more combat troops."

The refusal was clearly expressed in Chu Yunfei's words.

And he was not willing to continue taking risks under such circumstances.

Once discovered by the Japanese army.

The Japanese army, which already wanted to strengthen security in the rear, would inevitably shift resources to the North China Front Army again.

"We can no longer afford to suffer any more nowadays."

"The top priority right now is to get rid of the Japanese 20th Division in Longcheng."

Fang Ligong nodded and continued, "It's just that the 18th Group Army seems to be more eager to strengthen cooperation between the two sides. For this reason, they have sent four telegrams, all in the name of the commander-in-chief and deputy commander-in-chief."

Chu Yunfei was silent for a while after hearing this.

Even though the 18th Group Army had military funds provided by the National Government.

However, due to the particularity of its operations, it often faces more difficulties.

"I guess I smelled danger."

"Will increasing cooperation with the 18th Group Army at this critical juncture make the Chairman more wary of us?"

Chu Yunfei sighed: "So my marriage has to be put on the agenda."

"Miss Song Wenying?" Fang Ligong was quick-witted.

He quickly sat down next to Chu Yunfei and asked, "Will Commander Yan be able to help?"

That’s half the story.

Chu Yunfei shook his head: "Commander Yan has already hinted to me before, and the commander has even discussed the relevant matters with me directly. Brother Ligong, have you noticed that our new batch of weapons and ammunition that should have arrived three days ago has not arrived yet?"

The excuse was that the transportation capacity was squeezed due to the Sui-Zao Battle.

The reasons are very good and there is nothing wrong with them.

But before that.

Chang Ruiyuan will definitely ensure that weapons and equipment arrive in southeastern Shanxi as soon as possible.

Based on Chu Yunfei's understanding of Chang Ruiyuan.

As long as there is a chance to catch one's breath on the front battlefield, some cool moves will inevitably be made.

It’s just that the target of his previous operations was the 18th Group Army.

Now it’s just me who’s been replaced.

"To be honest, this feeling of being constrained everywhere really makes me uncomfortable."

The bottleneck problem is also a global problem.

It would be impossible for the Americans to transport supplies from the Soviet Union into the Shanxi region.

Chang Ruiyuan would never allow such a thing to happen.

This is tantamount to a direct provocation to it.

The key to breaking the deadlock lies not only in the control of border transportation lines, but also in the arrival of American military production equipment.

The control of border transportation lines can further provide the Soviets with the minerals and tobacco they need.

In exchange for the necessary heavy weapons and ammunition.

Before the Northwest Manufacturing Administration's production capacity explodes, try to maintain self-sufficiency as much as possible.
But if they don't follow Chang Ruiyuan's thinking, there is a high probability that further conflict will break out between the two sides.

This is actually something that both sides do not want to see.

Just like this conflict, the scapegoat can only be Dai Yunong.
It is impossible for Chu Yunfei and Chang Ruiyuan to have a direct conflict.

How to avoid such conflicts.

An effective lubrication is needed in the middle to reduce Chang Ruiyuan's suspicion.

Having someone to speak up at the critical moment can at least reduce a lot of trouble.

The Song family is a good choice.

Mrs. Song had a great influence on Chang Ruiyuan.

T.V. Soong was also a great helper, as he was a well-known advocate of war and economist in China.

However, in Chu Yunfei's impression, judging from historical records, its financial policies and propositions are not highly regarded and are typical representatives of bureaucratic capitalism.

Chu Yunfei gritted his teeth.

At this time, he considered carefully for a period of time.

Decided to take that step anyway.

After all, this is done for the country, the nation, and the general public.

"Brother Ligong, I may need you to go to the southwest for me to visit my wife."
