"Heh, some of you must have contacted other people privately, but do you think they'll accept you?"
"Why would they accept a surrendered general like you to share the spoils when they have strong troops and are confident of victory?"
Upon hearing this, the faces of the generals of the First Brigade gradually turned pale, as if they had been hit where it hurt.
Huang Yu sighed: "Face reality. If I lose, do you, as my trusted men, think you'll fare well? Is it even possible for you to gain military power?"
Yao Jianping stood up and saluted: "General, please tell us clearly, we will always support you!"
"Alright! Then I'll just say what's on my mind!"
Huang Yu stood up and pointed to the Fujian battle map behind him:
"Old Wang's troops were stationed in northern Fujian. They were the largest spies that the Anhui clique had planted in Fujian, with a strength of about 17,000 men."
"Old Tang's troops are stationed in the Zhangcheng and Xiamen areas, with a strength of about six thousand men. Although it is not a large number, they control the ports and tax sources in the most prosperous areas of Fujian. They are the richest and have extremely strong equipment and combat capabilities."
"And we, nominally occupying the center of Fujian and being the common master of Fujian, are actually in a precarious situation."
"If the South joins forces with either Lao Wang or Lao Tang, we will be finished in an instant, and there will be no way to stop it."
"We were able to hold on before because we had the support of the Japanese..."
"But now, the Japanese are leaving. Once they leave, we're doomed."
Yao Jianping pondered for a moment: "So, we should ask the Japanese not to withdraw?"
Huang Yu slapped Yao Jianping across the face, leaving him completely stunned.
"General, did I say something wrong?"
Huang Yu roared, "Do you know who wants to kill me tonight?"
Yao Jianping asked, looking aggrieved, "Who is it?"
"They're from Japan!"
The entire audience was in an uproar. What was going on? Wasn't their general always a loyal traitor?
"What's going on? Why would the Japanese try to assassinate the general?"
"Yes, that doesn't make sense."
"Have the Japanese lost their minds?"
clap clap!
Huang Yu slammed his hand on the table: "Quiet! Listen to me!"
The meeting room fell silent as everyone turned to look at Huang Yu.
Huang Yu's expression was serious, and a hint of murderous intent flashed in his eyes: "The situation is already very clear. The Japanese have already discarded us like rags!"
"They even want to kill me!"
"If we don't take action soon, we'll all die!"
Yao Jianping stood up, straightening his back: "General, please give the order. What should we do next?"
Huang Yu glanced around and saw that all the officers were looking at him intently, which made him feel satisfied.
Very good, it seems that these people have been initially fooled.
However, it's still not safe; we don't know how many layers are real and how many are fake.
Therefore, we need to add another layer of insurance.
A purple light emanated from Huang Yu's eyes, sweeping across everyone's eyes, and everyone's eyes also flashed with purple light for a moment.
Soul-capturing spell!
By using the Soul-Capturing Spell, one can temporarily strengthen a particular aspect of consciousness to obey his commands!
This simple soul-capturing spell doesn't expose you, yet it's very effective.
After doing all this, Huang Yu nodded slightly and said loudly, "Next, what we need to do is very simple: attack the Japanese concession!"
"Keep all the gold, silver, treasures, resources, and other wealth that the Japanese have plundered from China!"
"Any Japanese who dare to resist will be killed without mercy!"
"Only by muddying the waters, only by letting the people of the whole country see that we are heroes who drove out the foreign enemy, can we have a glimmer of hope!"
The entire audience erupted in uproar once again. Even though Huang Yu had cast the Soul-Capturing Curse beforehand, it did not dispel the doubts and shock in everyone's hearts.
"This...this..."
"That's a Japanese person..."
"Can we win?"
"Won't this cause an international dispute?"
The crowd below was chattering, with all sorts of opinions vying for attention.
Basically, it all boils down to one thing: fear, not wanting to fight, and not daring to fight.
Huang Yu sighed inwardly. This reaction was quite normal, after all, China had been poor and weak for almost several hundred years and had been losing for almost a hundred years.
This mentality of being inferior to others in everything can only be truly overcome by the founding war of a nation in later generations, which made the Chinese people stand up from the bottom of their hearts.
"Alright, that's enough!"
Huang Yu slammed his fist on the table again and roared at the crowd, "What are you afraid of? We have seven or eight thousand men, while there are only a little over a thousand in the concession. Do you think seven thousand men can't beat a thousand men?"
"Besides, no matter what we do, we're doomed. So why not forge a path to survival from that dead end?!"
"We won! We're heroes! There's a glimmer of hope!"
"Even if we lose, we are still heroes, heroes who bravely fought against foreign enemies and sacrificed our lives!"
The crowd fell silent. The word "hero" seemed to have nothing to do with these military leaders who colluded with outsiders.
Seeing that no one reacted, a purple light flashed in Huang Yu's eyes.
hum!
Yao Jianping slammed his fist on the table: "Damn it, let's do it! I've been wanting to get back at those Japanese for ages!"
"Tonight, the Japanese dared to assassinate General Luo. Do we not even have the courage to retaliate?"
"Isn't that an egg?"
"People will laugh at us!"
The crowd was slightly taken aback, but stimulated by this, they also felt their blood boil and began to shout slogans.
"Yes! Kill them!"
"General, when do we make our move?"
Huang Yu said solemnly, "Start tonight, immediately. If we delay, they will be prepared and it will be more difficult to fight them."
"Yao Jianping, you assign the task: attack the concession immediately!"
"Yes, sir!" Yao Jianping saluted, then hesitated for a moment before saying, "General, there's something else..."
"Say!"
“There are some extraordinary people in the concession. Although they cannot withstand the army’s guns and cannons, they pose a great threat to our officers. I am afraid that they will specifically target officers for assassination.”
Huang Yu waved his hand and pointed to the necromancer: "You don't need to worry about that. The Special Operations Section and the experts under Lao Fang will protect you. I have already deployed some experts in the concession area."
Seeing that Huang Yu had considered everything, Yao Jianping secretly breathed a sigh of relief and felt more confident.
That's strange. I don't know why I got carried away and said those things earlier.
But now that we're actually going to take action, it doesn't seem like such a big deal; in fact, I'm quite excited.
Afterwards, Yao Jianping began to arrange various matters.
Seeing that there was no problem, Huang Yu went out of the tent and summoned Hong Qi and Yan Shuangying.
"Pass the word down: once the army arrives, the Fish-Dragon Society can take action against them!"
"And your advisor, don't forget to inform him. With him around, you can avoid a lot of trouble."
Yan Shuangying cupped his hands and said, "Understood!"
Hong Qi patted his round belly and asked, "Master, what about you? Are you going?"
A glint of light flashed in Huang Yu's eyes: "Such a grand feast, of course I must go."
"But the army still needs you to be here to oversee things."
"So, someone has to take my place."
Huang Yu chuckled and turned his gaze to the two men, scanning them closely: "General Luo, well, that's just an identity, a symbol. I can do it, and so can you."
Huang Yu only regarded General Luo's identity as a transition and did not value it much.
Because the fate of this identity was sealed long ago.
Tonight's attack on the Fish and Dragon Society is simply to extract the last bit of value from them.
Therefore, even if it is eventually discovered that it is a fake, Huang Yu will not suffer any loss.
At most, it will just allow this identity to last for another month, so that the conditions for changing to the "warlord" profession can be met.
Having understood Huang Yu's words, Hong Qi shuddered: "Master, you know me, I can't do this kind of thing."
Huang Yu laughed and said, "Of course I can't let you do this. You still have to organize the army."
Taking this opportunity, Huang Yu whispered his instructions: "You two, you need to quickly build influence in the army, win over more soldiers, and try to take control of some territory."
"General Luo's identity will provide you with convenience."
"Remember, this opportunity will only come in the next month or so. Even if we play the role of General Luo, it's only a matter of time before he steps down."
“He has lost the support of the people. I will find an opportunity to make this position a graceful exit.”
Hong Qi and Yan Shuangying seemed to understand.
Both of them had already been bought into the grassroots of the army by Liu, and each was a platoon leader, in charge of forty or fifty people.
Of course, these weren't General Luo's men, but rather some security forces stationed in the suburbs, which is why the two of them had a lot of free time.
Military management in this era was extremely lax; anyone with money could easily build their own army or buy their way into the officer's position.
