"At least Dongchang was on our side before, and the cabinet at that time didn't have much ability... Now Dongchang and the cabinet are the same boss, and Shen Rongxuan is not as powerful as Qian Hongru's group.

It can be compared. If we no longer have soldiers in our hands, then it is called... We still rely on coups to gain power. This example is too bad..."

"Uncle!" Zhu Yourong's face changed color and he stopped him, "Stop talking... stop talking! Mr. Shen Ge is not that kind of person."

Zheng Gongyin said in pain:

"Rongrong!"

Zhu Yourong took a deep breath and said silently:

"I won't transfer the People's Guard."

…

Xiang Xiaoqiang was napping on the sofa in a lounge. He was covered with a military coat and a big-brimmed hat stuck on his face. An orderly woke him up in a hurry:

"My lord, my lord, wake up quickly, your majesty is coming from this way!"

Xiang Xiaoqiang jumped up and rushed out, and saw Zhu Yourong walking alone from the end of the corridor.

"Hey, Teacher Xiang is still here?"

Xiang Xiaoqiang heard from her tone that something was not going well, so he asked:

"Your Majesty, when will I set off?"

"Oh, let's set off, haha," Zhu Yourong shook his head and sighed, "Teacher Xiang, we are not going to set off. The Yangtze River defense line is tight here, and it is important to defend Nanjing. To the south, they promised me that reinforcements will arrive soon."

Xiang Xiaoqiang was stunned for a while and felt incredible. Qing troops were landing in the south every minute. Instead of seizing this opportunity to strike, they had to abandon the near and seek the far, pinning their hopes on distant reinforcements. Once the Qing troops deployed, they could encircle Nanjing or stay in Nanjing.

If enough troops are deployed to surround Nanjing and the main force goes straight to the south of the Yangtze River, then it will not be enough to mobilize all the strategic reserves.

Zhu Yourong looked at him, smiled sadly, and said:

"Teacher Xiang, you and I...we are both too young."

After saying that, Xiang Xiaoqiang was left with a stunned look on his face and went back to the room alone.

…

Xiao Xiang walked out of the fortress irritably, an inexplicable feeling of frustration rising in his body. He didn't know why. Originally, since he didn't need to charge into battle himself, according to his usual tendency to save his life, he should be happy.

yes.

When he left the command hall, the captain who handed him back his gun hesitated a little, and he yelled at him loudly and cursed him. The captain was so frightened that his face turned pale. When he left the fortress, he made another excuse

The boots of the guard on guard duty were not wiped clean, and he was given another severe punishment.

A guard looked at his back and said with lingering fear:

"Who is that? He's just a colonel, how can he be so powerful?"

Another guard said:

"Didn't you see that his badge is from the People's Guard? People in the People's Guard are extremely fanatical, almost all of them crazy."

…

It was already dark when Xiang Xiaoqiang returned to the People's Guard station, but the station was already ready, tanks and vehicles had been launched, and his main officers had gathered in front of him.

Xiang Xiaoqiang ordered the departure to be cancelled, and then called a few of his confidants to explain the matter. Several people looked at each other for a while, and Li Gensheng said:

"Maybe they don't need people like us at all... Even though we are all tanks and armored vehicles, we can't be of much use in this weather. Hum, if it were normal times, they would all be rushing to get them. In addition, maybe here in Nanjing,

The defense line is really hanging, so the high command felt that rather than letting us go to waste, it would be better to stay here and play our role."

The snail thought for a while, then muttered:

"Maybe...that's what happened."

Then he slowly told the reason that Zheng Gongyin told Zhu Yourong. When several people heard it, they immediately felt that it made sense and felt that this was the main reason.

Only then did Xiang Xiaoqiang understand what Zhu Yourong meant by his last sentence, "We are all too young." It was obvious that this reason, full of political considerations, was not something she came up with on her own, but was told to her by someone close to her.

Everyone thinks that if they have this consideration, it is best not to ask for a fight anymore and just wait and see what happens. This has already involved the political level.

Xiang Xiaoqiang stood up and looked at the large map on the wall. As Zhu Yourong moved into the fortress, Xiang Xiaoqiang also moved the headquarters from its establishment to the barracks at the foot of Purple Mountain. Now the facilities here are much more complete, and there is a map in the big war room

and a large-scale sand table, on which the battle situation can be marked at every moment. Xiang Xiaoqiang looked at the map and saw more and more red figures on the map, extending towards Nanjing, as if they were going to siege Nanjing with all their strength, and did not go towards

Weaving through the southeast. Looking at the large group of strategic reserves gathered in the southeast, he felt a little calmer. Maybe his worries were unnecessary and he was really inexperienced? I hope so.

Xiang Xiaoqiang smiled and said:

"Everyone, let's go and have a rest, but be more vigilant and don't let Qinglu touch your pillow in the middle of the night."

Stomachache smiled and said:

"Sir, if you are not sleepy, I will take you to meet a few people."

"who?"

Several people laughed. They already knew it when they went out to Xiang Xiaoqiang.

Full of suspicion, Xiang Xiaoqiang followed his stomachache to the "guest house" in the camp. It was a two-story building, prepared for visitors staying in the military camp. When he got to the second floor, he pointed to a few rooms on the left and said with a smile.

:

"Sir, who do you think lives inside?"

Xiang Xiaoqiang glared at him and said angrily:

"Say it quickly."

My stomach hurt and I shrank my head, so I quickly said:

"They are the people from the Nazi Party office. Weren't we checking them two days ago? Today the Qing rebels attacked, and they seem to be unable to sit still. Before we could check them, a group of them came to our door."

"Want to go back to the country too?" Xiang Xiaoqiang curled his lips and waved his hand, "Come on, let them go. Let them all go. The embassies and offices of other countries have evacuated. Let them evacuate too. Anyway, we also know that they are not

The spy is gone clean."

Stomachache smiled and said:

"If they want to leave, then I won't invite you here, right? They'll come to ask for help in the war."

Xiang Xiaoqiang smiled and said:

"Why, the Germans didn't get any promises, so they were willing to help the Ming Dynasty fight the war first?"

As soon as Stomachache waved, an orderly ran over to the corridor. Stomachache said with a smile:

"Xiao Liu was arranged here by his subordinates. He is not an orderly, but a security policeman from our security team. He can understand German. There are small microphones in these rooms, and Xiao Liu is responsible for listening. Xiao Liu, please tell me

Tell me, what did they say?"

Xiao Liu replied:

"Yes. There are nine of them in total. They have been debating whether to go back or stay all night. Most of them said that the task given to them by the head of state was to contact and test the official attitude of Ming Dynasty. Nothing has been done now.

They stayed to help others fight the war, and they couldn't explain it even when they got back. But their leader had a different opinion. The leader was a lieutenant colonel, surnamed Yomi, Lieutenant Colonel Yomi. Lieutenant Colonel Yomi resolutely decided who to keep under his command to fight in the war.

If he wants to go back, he will get furious. He seems to be addicted to fighting and doesn't care about political tasks at all. When I went in to deliver hot water just now, I saw him doing push-ups on the ground. Haha, he seems to be a weirdo."

When Xiao Liu said this, Xiang Xiaoqiang said that he was a little interested in Lieutenant Colonel Yomi:

"Okay, let's go talk to him."

The door was unlocked. I pushed the door open to Xiaoqiang and saw that there was only one desk lamp on in the guest room, which was very dazzling in the surrounding darkness. There was a short man leaning over the table. He was wearing a German army shirt.

The woolen breeches were tucked into the boots.

Xiang Xiaoqiang was surprised at his ability to withstand the cold. Although there was heating in the room, it was only over ten degrees Celsius. He was only wearing a single shirt, and he didn't feel too cold.

This person had his back to Xiang Xiaoqiang and was concentrating on studying the map spread out on the desk. He kept drawing on it with a compass and a set square. From time to time, he picked up a pencil and quickly calculated on the paper. He did not realize that there were three more people in the room.

He was talking to himself, and Xiao Liu behind Xiang Xiaoqiang was whispering translations into Xiang Xiaoqiang's ear. It was nothing more than some troop calculations, firepower, mileage calculations, etc. Xiang Xiaoqiang understood that he was studying the current battle situation on the riverside.

Suddenly, Lieutenant Colonel Yomi did not look back, but stretched his hand back and shouted something. Xiao Liu immediately translated:

"He said: Atie, my map bag!"

Xiang Xiaoqiang was startled, Ah Tie? Isn't that the boy they set up and detained? He was probably an orderly of Lieutenant Colonel Yomi. Lieutenant Colonel Yomi was so involved that he completely forgot that Atie was no longer around.

.

Xiang Xiaoqiang saw a map bag thrown on the bed, smiled slightly, picked it up personally, and handed it to Lieutenant Colonel Yomi.

"Dangk."

Lieutenant Colonel Yomi said without turning around.

Xiang Xiaoqiang smiled and said:

"You're welcome."

Hearing a sentence in Chinese, Lieutenant Colonel Yomi turned around in surprise and looked at Xiang Xiaoqiang.

Xiang Xiaoqiang looked at him and was also shocked at this moment.

This man is in his forties, with a thin square face, a hooked nose, thin lips, deep eye sockets, and a cunning and sharp light emitting from his small eyes.

Xiang Xiaoqiang said softly:
Chapter completed!
