Chairman Jiang frowned and said, "If you don't have the confidence to kill with one blow, it's better not to act rashly."

Indeed, if Xu Shijiu cannot be guaranteed to be killed, once the matter is exposed, it will not only make all anti-Japanese armed forces in southern Anhui and even the entire central China feel heartbroken, but may also cause another serious consequence, that is, indirectly prompting Xu Shijiu and his southern Anhui Anti-Japanese and National Salvation Army to turn to the Communist Party. What is particularly terrifying is that if the New Fourth Army suddenly joins hands with the southern Anhui Anti-Japanese and National Salvation Army at this time, the situation in southern Anhui will become extremely complicated.

At that time, not only will the plan to encircle and suppress the New Fourth Army in southern Anhui be failed, but the entire southern Anhui may become the territory of the Communist Party.

Although Gu Zhutong's third war zone has hundreds of thousands of people, there may be less than half of the troops that can actually go to the battlefield. It is even more difficult to assemble these hundreds of thousands of troops and launch an offensive against the New Fourth Army in southern Anhui or the Anti-Japanese and National Salvation Army in southern Anhui. Moreover, when it comes to the battlefield, these mobs in the third war zone are likely to collapse at once.

Chairman Jiang was really not very relieved about Gu Zhutong's third war zone. After all, the strategic focus of the National Government is now on the Ninth War Zone. Others such as the Second War Zone of Shanxi and the Third War Zone of Zhejiang and Anhui are all secondary strategic directions. In terms of materials, the National Government also seriously tilts its limited resources towards the Ninth War Zone, so in terms of combat effectiveness, it is difficult for the troops in the Third War Zone to be relieved.

After walking back and forth in the study with his hands behind his back, Chairman Jiang finally stopped and ordered Dai Li: "Yunnong, let's cancel the order of killing. In view of the active offensive taken by the Anti-Japanese and National Salvation Army in Southern Anhui and achieved great results, he was specially commended and rewarded 50,000 French currency. In addition, the Third War Zone added some guns and ammunition to the Anti-Japanese and National Salvation Army in Southern Anhui. As for Xu Shijiu, he would be given the title of Major General of the Army."

The rank of major general mentioned by Chairman Jiang refers to the rank of the Ministry of Military Affairs' Selection Office, rather than the rank of the position of military affairs. In the Central Army, many division commanders have already been lieutenant generals, but their rank of military officials is still only major generals or colonels. Because there are strict number of restrictions on the rank of military affairs, only high-level ranks are vacant, such as death from illness, disaster in war, or deprivation of military rank due to crimes, can low-level officers be replaced.

Therefore, Chairman Jiang's promotion of Xu Shijiu to Army Major General was a huge concession, and it was the limit that he could do.

Of course, this is actually just a favor but not a real deal. The legal currency has now depreciated seriously. I am afraid that it will not be able to buy 50,000 French currency. As for the third war zone to replenish guns and ammunition for the 19th Detachment of the Anti-Japanese and National Salvation Army in southern Anhui, it is even more joke. Even Gu Zhutong’s troops are not enough weapons, so where can there be surplus weapons and ammunition to replenish the Anti-Japanese and National Salvation Army in southern Anhui?

Dai Li thought about it and whispered: "Commissioner, should we condemn a county magistrate to Longkou?"

"Well, you should send a county magistrate." Chairman Jiang nodded deeply and asked again, "Yunnong, do you have any candidate?"

"There is one." Dai Li whispered, "This man was born into a prominent family in Longkou County and had a considerable influence in Longkou. However, after the Japanese occupied Longkou, his national position was not firm enough. He became the maintenance president of the Japanese, and later became the commander of the puppet army. However, now he has repentant and is willing to serve the party and the state and the chairman."

"Nothing, a traitor, how can he be the county magistrate?" Chairman Jiang was a little unhappy

"Commissioner, the key is that this person has a grudge against Xu Shijiu for killing his father and destroying his family. If he is allowed to be the county magistrate of Longkou, he can avoid the situation where Xu Shijiu monopolizes military and political power in Longkou and covers the sky with one hand."

Chairman Jiang's heart was shocked. If Xu Shijiu was allowed to monopolize military and political power in Longkou, wouldn't he become a warlord?

Chairman Jiang was deeply disgusted with warlord separatism, because until now, the National Government has not yet solved the chronic disease of warlord separatism. Whether it is Yan Xishan in Shanxi, Li Zongren in Guangxi or Long Yun in Yunnan, they are still the de facto kings. Once the international situation changes, these kings will immediately jump out and kick him Jiang's ass.

In fact, Chairman Jiang not only failed to solve the old warlords such as Yan Xishan, Li Zongren, and Long Yun, but also a new generation of warlords have emerged within his central military system, such as Chen Cheng's civil engineering system, such as Hu Zongnan's First Army system, and Tang Enbo's 20th Army. These factions have shown increasingly obvious warlords.

Even Chairman Jiang himself could foresee that once he died, the historical tragedy of the division of the Beiyang military system would definitely reappear in his Central Army after Yuan Shikai's death. For this matter, Chairman Jiang racked his brains, but he could not think of an effective way to curb it.

Of course, compared with these old and new warlords, Xu Shijiu is really not worth mentioning.

However, if there is a chance to stop Xu Shijiu from becoming a warlord, Chairman Jiang will never be ruthless. As long as he can stop Xu Shijiu from becoming a warlord, forgive a traitor, and use him more, what's wrong? As the old saying goes, if a prodigal son returns, he will not change his gold. Can a traitor be able to reform himself?

Chairman Jiang said, "Okay, you can do this in Yunnong."

"Member, I understand." Dai Li bowed slightly and retreated.

If the third war zone knows the news, it will be later than Chongqing.

Huang Baitao rushed into Gu Zhutong's office and said repeatedly: "Standard, it's amazing."

Gu Zhutong, who was just lying on a brazier to keep warm, was a little unhappy, thinking that Huang Baitao has always been steady, what happened today? Why are he like a student soldier who just graduated from the Central Army? How come he is like?

However, Huang Baitao didn't bother to observe Gu Zhutong's face because something really happened.

After taking a breath, Huang Baitao calmed down and was excited and said, "General, the 19th Detachment of the Southern Anhui Anti-Japanese National Salvation Army set up an ambush in Hulu Valley, and wiped out the main force of the Japanese Independence Mixed 14th Brigade in one fell swoop."

"Well, what did you say just now?" Gu Zhutong was shocked and stood up suddenly. Because he was anxious, he almost carried the brazier over.

After standing up, Gu Zhutong stared at Huang Baitao and asked, "Chief of Staff, what did you say just now? The 19th Detachment of the Southern Anhui Anti-Japanese National Salvation Army set up an ambush in Hulu Valley, and wiped out the Japanese Independence Mixed Forces' main force in the 14th Brigade in one fell swoop?"

"Yeah." Huang Baitao pointed his head and said, "It may not be objective to say that the 14th Independent Independent Integration Brigade of Japan was completely wiped out. It should be said that the 14th Independent Integration Brigade of the Integration Brigade had completely wiped out the troops left in Longkou County. There were two independent infantry brigades and one cavalry brigade, about two thousand people."

"That's great, that's great, Chief of Staff" Gu Zhutong said excitedly, "The whole family ate two infantry brigades and a cavalry brigade, which was an amazing victory...

But halfway through the words, Gu Zhutong's expression of joy froze there, and then asked Huang Baitao suspiciously: "No, Chief of Staff, hasn't the 19th Detachment of the Southern Anhui Anti-Japanese National Salvation Army been crippled by the Japanese for a long time? Even Xu Shijiu, the bastard, turned against the enemy, how could they have ambushed the Japanese in reverse and wiped out the troops left in Longkou County of the 14th Brigade? What's going on?"

"Master, this is the thing." Huang Baitao took a breath and told the Trojan plan.

After hearing Huang Baitao's words, Gu Zhutong was so shocked that he couldn't speak for a long time. He thought to himself that Xu Shijiu was really bold and arrogant.

But then again, from the effect, Xu Shijiu sacrificed his personal reputation in exchange for the complete annihilation of the independent mixed troops of the 14th Brigade, which was undoubtedly a huge profit.

If it can be copied, Gu Zhutong would like to copy it once.
