Chapter 3 Storm (Ten Parts)

Everyone sighed and shook their heads and smiled bitterly with him. Yan Xishan's suspicious and fickle personality, and only took advantage but not suffered losses, was touched by Lu Yinglin. According to what he said, it is indeed very likely that the transaction between Yan Xishan and the Japanese was completely ruined. However, if everyone knew that Yan Xishan was secretly colluding with the Japanese devils, they could not stop it publicly. Instead, they had to try every means to block and conceal this person. They would undoubtedly feel sorry for the reputation of the Northern Army's anti-Japanese iron fist, and even more so for those brothers who had just died on the battlefield.

"In fact, Chongqing may not have heard any movement at all." Knowing that his proposal may not have convinced everyone here, Chief of Staff Lu Yinglin thought for a while and continued to say earnestly, "But what can we do after hearing it? Not to mention that Commander Yan has not reached an agreement with the Japanese at the moment, even if the agreement has been reached, as long as he does not openly accept the Japanese official position for a day, Chongqing can only continue to pretend to be confused. Otherwise, if a military solution is used, it will definitely force Commander Yan and his two direct army groups to the Japanese side immediately and solve it with political means. With Han Fuqu, the lesson of our commander Yan, how could we, Commander Yan, easily leave his own team?" (Note 1)

Hearing this, everyone sighed more and more heavily. Judging from the development of the relationship between the Pseudo-De King and the Military Control Commission some time ago, Chongqing should have noticed that Yan Xishan and the Japanese devils had long been ignorant. After all, Tao Ketao was just a senator of the Pseudo-Mongolia Autonomous Government, while De King was the nominal chief executive of the entire Pseudo-Mongolia Xinjiang government. However, Chongqing has not taken any action against Yan. It can only be that it is really like Lu Yinglin analyzed that it was because it was afraid of completely forcing Yan Xishan to rebel. Many people in Chongqing believed that the Anti-Japanese War had no hope of victory, so they were eager to find a way to survive through Yan Xishan's temptation.

"Since you say that, just follow your method. Anyway, I am just a soldier and I know how to fight." After another sigh, Sun Lanfeng, the commander of the newly compiled 31st Division, said with his red eyes.

He was the most determined attitude to oppose covering up Yan Xishan tonight, and it also represented the opinions of most young and strong generals in the Northern Army. These people had never received any attention under Yan Xishan's command, or had joined the Northern Army after Fu Zuoyi established his own family. He had no feelings for Yan, and only followed Fu Zuoyi's leader.

Since the young and strong people made compromises under the leadership of Sun Lanfeng, the next thing was much simpler. Soon, everyone reached an agreement to completely seal the document that could lead to the respite of the National Government. In other relatively eased ways, Commander Yan gave up his fantasy of getting along with others and headed back to the right path.

Since everyone was unable to expose Yan Xishan because of the old kindness, of course, just as Fu Zuoyi sighed before, he had no face to pursue the guilt of the traitor Wang Ying, an Anhuating privately instigated the big traitor Wang Ying. The relationship between the latter and the big traitor Wang Ying was exactly the same as that of everyone and Yan Xishan. They were all favored by the other party, and they were later parted ways due to different political ideas. However, so many young generals and famous generals were led by a bandit-born major general, and everyone was too confused. After reaching the resolution, they couldn't get interested in continuing to speak for a long time. They held cigarettes in their mouths and sucked hard.

The weather was warm and cold, and the doors and windows of the command center were closed tightly. Fifteen or sixteen old cigarette guns were spewing in the air at the same time, which quickly made the house choke so hard that it could not sit anymore. Fu Zuoyi, commander-in-chief of the Northern Army, turned around, pulled open the door of the house, and shouted sternly, "Okay, if you want to get enough of smoking, please go outside and see what you all have become. This is the command center, not a theater shed, nor a cinema."

"Yeah, yeah." Everyone was so angry that they were scolded that they quickly pressed the cigarette rolls with only one butt into the ashtray in front of them and slaughtered them out.

"Order, open all the windows for me and put some fresh air in." Fu Zuoyi was too lazy to see everyone's listless look, and walked back to his seat angrily and ordered loudly, "Give everyone some hot tea to cheer up, and then continue to have a meeting. What else is it? That's someone else's business. The most important thing here is to deal with the Japanese."

"Yes, our Northern Army is the Northern Army, which is different from others." Dong Qiwu and others straightened their backs and agreed loudly.

"It's not a family anymore, why bother to beg for nothing?" Sun Lanfeng and other young gangs also sneered and emphasized.

If someone dared to say these words in public some time ago, Fu Zuoyi would have been taught a loud lesson by Fu Zuoyi. In his mind, he always regarded Yan Xishan as his elder and teacher. But today, Fu Zuoyi was just stunned and said nothing clarified. Yan Xishan wanted to save Shanxi, the military and political group of the Jinsui Army, and Fu Zuoyi wanted to save the entire Chinese nation. Compared with the survival of the entire Chinese nation, no matter how much kindness Yan Xishan had to him in the past, it seemed too thin. He could cover this time for Commander Yan, but he could not cover it for the other party again for the second and third time, and it was impossible to follow the other party's footsteps toward the dead end that had been infamous for thousands of years. This was the last time he had violated his original intention to protect the old general, which was considered an explanation of his past kindness. From then on, Jin was Jin and Sui was Sui, and there was no "Jinsui Army" in the world.

Knowing that Fu Zuoyi was in a heavy mood at the moment, Chief of Staff Lu Yinglin smiled and tried to make the topic a little bit more serious. "Don't talk about those irrelevant things. Everyone should concentrate first and read Tao Ketao's letter of fame. Maybe, there will be a new opportunity to deal with the Japanese inside."

"Yes, let's look at Tao Ketao's letter of fame first and find new opportunities to deal with the Japanese." Everyone's thoughts were similar to those of Lu Yinglin in general, and they responded in a verbal manner.

"Then let's take a look separately. Everyone will read five copies each other. After reading it, they will exchange them. After finding valuable information, they will immediately pick it out separately." Lu Yinglin looked at Fu Zuoyi's face and continued to propose.

Without waiting for him to take action, Dong Qiwu and others had already stood up and distributed the documents in the suitcase as quickly as possible. After a while, everyone completely threw the depression behind their heads. There was only the sound of "brushing, brushing" paper flipping in the whole room.

Most of the documents are about politics and economic aspects. The Japanese discovered several large open-pit coal mines in the Baotou area. The cost of mining is very low and the ore quality is also very good. In addition, there are some ore samples produced by several iron ore. According to Japanese experts, the iron content exceeds 50%, which has reached the iron ore-rich standard and ranks among the top in the entire Asia region.

Although everyone here is a martial artist and has no idea about mining and metallurgy, they just captured more than 300 Japanese mining engineers in the Wuyuan Battle and were somewhat touched. They knew that the Hetao area was actually far from as desolate as it seemed on the surface. Otherwise, the Japanese would not have put all the mining talents in Japan here!

These coal mines and iron ore, and other precious minerals that cannot be named by others. Even if the Northern Army is not able to exploit and utilize, the Japanese cannot easily dig it away. It is the wealth of future generations and does not belong to any private person. If everyone is not able to exploit and utilize it now, they will watch the Japanese transport it away because they are not able to exploit and utilize it. Decades later, their descendants will have to drink the northwest wind and live. By then, they will never feel honored by the ignorance of their predecessors. On the contrary, they will make all kinds of unstoppable questions in newspapers and books, questioning the people who allowed the Japanese invaders to easily transport resources away. At that time, he knew whether he was doing what he was doing and what he was willing to do.

"The devil experts cannot be released." As he looked, someone started to talk loudly, "At least, they cannot be released now."

"Yes, even if Sakai has a cannon to redeem them, they cannot be let go." The other generals present immediately responded. The Northern Army was disciplined and did not abuse the Japanese experts who had put down their weapons and surrendered. According to previous practice, these non-military personnel were usually educated and sent troops to be taken outside the war zone for public release. However, this time, the secret documents provided by Tao Ketao completely blocked the door for these so-called non-military personnel to go home. Since they came for plunder, they would definitely pay the price for the plunder.

Because everyone's ideas were surprisingly consistent, the final resolution was quickly reached. Lu Yinglin was responsible for guiding the staff to record it on the case, while other generals lowered their heads and continued to review useful information from Tao Ketao's letter of appeal.

"Damn it, the Japanese are so sinister." Sun Lanfeng suddenly slapped the table hard and roared loudly.

"What's wrong, what's wrong? Didn't the Japanese just lose a battle? What kind of demon moth is going to come out?" Everyone was startled, turned their heads to him, and asked in a slight manner.

"He, they" Sun Lanfeng held up a handwritten piece of information, anxious and angry, and sweating all over his head, "They actually secretly mobilized a mixed brigade to block my 93rd Regiment. Previously, the three Mongolian cavalry divisions had the same target."
