The scorching sun at noon was slightly west, and the bamboo and wood market near Donghaoyong on the west side of Dashatou became a little angry, and there were endless people coming to buy bamboo and wood. A few days ago, foreigners bombed the provincial capital by plane, saying that they were here to bomb the shipyard. Unexpectedly, a few bombs were blown by the wind and drifted across the Pearl River to the new pass outside the southern city. The wooden houses had been dry for years and had been able to withstand fires. The dry things in the sky were dry and the fire was leveraged by the wind, and the wind helped the fire. All these neighbors were affected. If it weren't for the forced order of the Ministry of Rites that the city walls of the provincial capital had not been demolished and the surging fire was separated by a few feet thick walls, I'm afraid the whole city would have burned out.

The vicious foreigners, the people who died tragically, the court who treasoned the country, the unfavorable years..., all of this turned into a prosperous business in the bamboo and wood market. The wood was loaded by trucks, and the bank of tickets were handed over to the boss. Congratulations to you, no one said that you had made a fortune. Both the buyer and the seller had no idea what happened in Yangcheng a few days in advance. Only the buyer's numb and coldness and the cargo owner's easy enthusiasm can make people feel that these businesses are extraordinary.

A convoy came from the north. Lieutenant Colonel Liu Wendao couldn't help but smile at the bustling bamboo and wood market. He got off the civil aviation Baiyun Airport and passed by the city, but he did not see the tragic situation after the fire burned by Xinguan in Linjiang in the south of the city.

"I didn't expect the business of Guangzhou Bamboo and Wood Market to be so good!" Liu Wendao looked at the Air Force Lieutenant Colonel who had been sitting in front of him without saying a word after picking up the plane, and finally found a topic. Unexpectedly, the other party just looked at him with some hatred in the rearview mirror, but still said nothing. The car suddenly became embarrassed, but fortunately the car drove past the Bamboo and Wood Market and arrived at the place-South China Air Force Command.

"Lieutenant Colonel Liu Wendao, the lower-ranking Prime Minister's Office, has met General Zhang!" In the headquarters, standing in front of the commander General Zhang Hui, Liu Wendao, the lieutenant colonel, immediately saluted. He saluted, Xu Enzeng, who came with him, also saluted, although he was only an official of the patrol supervisor of the Ministry of Civil Affairs.

"Ltd. Colonel Liu, please sit down." Major General Zhang Hui looked up and down at Liu Wendao Xu Enzeng, and then he called them to sit down.

"This is an order issued by the Prime Minister himself." Seeing Zhang Huichang's long sleeves hanging on his black veil, Liu Wendao did not sit down. After submitting the order, he said: "The Prime Minister heard that Guangdong Province was suddenly attacked by US aircraft, and was extremely sad. This time, in addition to asking his subordinates to transfer the order, he also asked me to express his deepest condolences to the people of Yangcheng on his behalf!"

Liu Wendao said politely. After Zhang Huichang handed the secret box he handed to the adjutant for decoding, he said without appreciation: "There is no need to mourn. I have been thinking that all this could have been avoided, but what...

The Prime Minister approved the resignation of all the generals of the General Staff Department, and students from colleges and universities gathered in the capital to petition. The US Air Force attack caused more than 5,000 casualties and countless property losses... All of this made the people denounce the sale of domestic cabinet.

In particular, the sealed Imperial Daily also published the plan of the General Staff to bomb the US military airport in the Philippines first, believing that if this plan is implemented, even if the Americans repaired the airport and bombed it again, it would be a few months later. At that time, all airports near the Philippines in the southeastern provinces have been destroyed, and there is no support for front-line airports. It would be almost like a dream to curb US aircraft bombing. As soon as this article was released, public opinion surged. At noon that day, the Imperial Daily was seized by the National Security Bureau for leaking state secrets. President Lu Hongkui and military column editor Zhang Shaozeng were all arrested.

"The Prime Minister is also a last resort." Lieutenant Colonel Liu Wendao is also a student of Liang Qichao. He is Jiang Baili's junior brother. He is his adjutant in the Prime Minister's Office, so he has the rank of Lieutenant Colonel. "General Zhang must not believe the rumors in the market."

Liu Wendao politely advised him, and Zhu Jiahua's confidant Xu Enzeng said bluntly. "General Zhang, now all the generals of the General Staff have resigned, and there are not many people left in the Air Force Command. The Prime Minister is having a headache about whom to appoint the Air Force Commander. If the general..."

"Go out!" Xu Enzeng didn't say anything, but Zhang Huichang became angry as soon as he spoke. He pointed to the door and stared at Xu Enzeng and shouted loudly. Liu Wendao was stunned on the spot.

"I'll let you get out!" Zhang Huichang was originally from Guangdong and from overseas Chinese. This time, the US Army Airlines bombed the Huangpu Shipyard, but the clouds were blocked. The bomb was thrown outside the southern city and turned into a firehouse. There were countless people killed and injured. Although the South China Air Force shot down several bombers, the entire Air Force commander still felt faceless to face his hometown elders. He was disliked by the people from the capital, but now he saw this Beijing official wearing a police uniform using his official position to induce him, and he was immediately angry.

"General Zhang..." Xu En was once Zhu Jiahua's confidant. This time he came to Guangdong Province to pick up the US prisoners who survived parachuting. The people in Guangzhou were angry with foreigners bombing houses. They killed several of them as soon as they hit the ground, and all the bodies were hung on the telephone poles. Seeing that he was driven out by Zhang Huichang, Liu Wendao immediately stood up to smooth things over.

"I didn't say anything to you!" Unexpectedly, Zhang Huichang didn't give him any face at all, and said unyieldingly: "Guard!"

Zhang Huichang was not giving face, and Xu Enzeng's face turned red but helpless. He immediately snorted and left.

Zhang Huichang sat down after he left. Although he didn't say anything about Liu Wendao, it was obvious that the harmonious atmosphere that Liu Wendao tried hard to create was undoubtedly destroyed.

Fifteen minutes later, the adjutant quietly entered with the decrypted documents. After Zhang Huichang read the decrypted documents, his breath became thicker again. He shook the order without anger and laughed: "Lieutenant Colonel Liu has brought this kind of floppy thing from thousands of miles away?"

As a Hubei native, Liu Wendao certainly didn't know the meaning of "stopping", but seeing Zhang Huichang's angry expression, he still smiled and said, "The subordinate officials are just passing on the orders of the Prime Minister's Office. After the General Staff cancels the General Staff, all military command powers will be the responsibility of the Prime Minister's Office. General Zhang will not disobey the orders, right?"

"Of course I won't disobey orders." Zhang Huichang still laughed. He signed the order signing letter and asked the adjutant to hand it over to Liu Wendao. "Okay, I received the order. I am busy with official duties now, please do whatever you want."

Seeing that Zhang Huichang wanted to drive people away again, Liu Wendao said: "General Zhang did not read the notes behind the order. The order requires the subordinate to supervise the execution of the order throughout the process. In order not to disclose military secrets, the documents will be taken back by the subordinate after the order is executed!"

"Haha..." Zhang Huichang exchanged the order to the adjutant again, and then said after a few words: "Then I will put this matter on the jar, right? Could it be that my thin young man in Zhang Huichangsheng can be bullied, and the people who are the ones in the Prime Minister's House chose me?"

"Please be polite General Zhang's words, and insult Shangguan Fei's soldiers behind his back." Liu Wendao stood up alert, but his eyes kept turning. Before he came, he had thought about all kinds of situations, but he didn't want to face the worst.

"Insult behind the scenes?" Zhang Huichang laughed. He then took out a gun and said, "If you have the ability, let Weng Wenhao come in secret. I will smash his head with one shot..."

"General Zhang, just say it straight, will you execute the order or not?" Liu Wendao began to give in.

"Of course, execution! If you don't execute the treason, you will put the responsibility of not resisting me?" Zhang Huichang gave an unexpected answer, "However, you don't take the order back. It's best to publish it in the newspaper after the order is executed.

"You dare!" Liu Wendao was shocked. He looked for the order, but remembered that Zhang Huichang's adjutant had just taken him out. "Will the general be afraid of going to the military court after he put the military order in the newspaper?"

"My favorite thing is to go to your military court!" Zhang Huichang finally calmed down, "How long do you think your life will be? Do you think the people of the whole country will let you continue to sell the country like this? That's a dream! Before I could catch my military police, you guys were thrown into prison." After Zhang Huichang said that, he stopped leaving Liu Wendao. He looked at the guards brought in by the adjutant and said, "This is Lieutenant Colonel Liu from the capital. In order to prevent the military secrets from leaking, you will take good care of Lieutenant Colonel Liu in the past three days!"

Liu Wendao was still thinking that he would notify the capital immediately to be prepared to be bitten by Zhang Huichang. He didn't expect that Zhang Huichang would actually take care of himself. He said furiously: "Zhang Huichang, what do you want to do?!"

"I don't want to do anything!" Zhang Huichang said, and then said to the adjutant: "I will draft a message about Lieutenant Colonel Liu's injuries and coma in a car accident and being rescued in the hospital to Beijing. In addition, prepare a message of condolence. If the Lieutenant Colonel does not cooperate, it will be sent out at the right time!"

"You! You..." Liu Wendao was shocked and angry in his arrangement of his funeral in front of him. He wanted to curse loudly but found that his teeth were shaking, so he couldn't say anything. Soon he was taken away by the guards.

That night, Guangdong Shaoguan Airport.

"Brothers: Don't think about orders or something. Soldiers take obeying orders as their duty. Although this mission is shameful, it is also an experience, and an experience for the future bombing of the Philippines. The eyes of the sixty-one million people are all sharp. The traitorous government will eventually fall. The retired Prime Minister Yang will come out sooner or later to take charge of the overall situation! Brothers, I, Zhang Huichang, do it first!"

With a 'clang', the bowl of wine was thrown by Zhang Huichang. He did this, and the thirty pilots who carried out this mission angrily threw the bowl of wine after drinking it in one breath. As the porcelain pieces flew, these people saluted and ran to the airport to start boarding. Soon, the engines of five Peng heavy bombers started to start. Under the guidance of the ground lights and ground crew members, they took off one after another and disappeared into the not-bright night sky.

Three hours later, the phone rang violently at the Grand Hotel Manila. When Lieutenant General MacArthur put on his pajamas and opened the door, Adjutant Eisenhower told him about an unfortunate news that the Chinese Air Force bomber was less than a hundred kilometers away from Manila.

"What? How did they do it?!" MacArthur looked at his adjutant, feeling a little unbelievable. Not to mention the difficulty of taking off and landing at night, night bombers could not find a purpose at all.

"Sir, there were radio beacons at sea and in the city of Manila half an hour ago;" Eisenhower said: "I think they were navigating through these radio beacons."

"Why don't you send someone to clear these beacons right away?" MacArthur said unhappily. The Philippines is close to China. Although most of the Chinese are locked up, many spies still missed the net.

"Sir, the beacon appears for a short time, and it is very difficult to find it at night. We will have to know these things the next day." Eisenhower said. While he was speaking, the air defense alarm also sounded, and he said anxiously: "Sir, for your safety, please go to the nearest air-raid shelter immediately."

The night is vast, and the bomb will fall to unexpected places even during the day. MacArthur, who did not want to die before the victory, immediately entered and changed his clothes and hid in the air-raid shelter with his wife and servants. However, what made him different was that although the air-raid alarm sounded for two hours, he did not hear the sound of the bomb explosion at all. Looking at his wife and Eisenhower, he laughed and said, "The Chinese Air Force must have thrown the bomb into the sea."

But when the chief of staff who came to him after dawn handed him a piece of stuff, his ridicule became even more serious: "The Chinese are all cowards! I want to hold a meeting, and Luhang will carry out a second bombing immediately to completely defeat the yellow-skinned monkeys!"

Chief of Staff Sutherland handed MacArthur a blank leaflet, which read in English: "Your country invaded China is very guilty. If you continue to invade, millions of leaflets will turn into thousand tons of bombs. I hope you will do it yourself." That night, the Chinese Air Force bombers were throwing such things. No wonder they didn't hear the bomb sound all night.

MacArthur mocked the Chinese for the paper bombing. Major General Andrews, the airline commander who rushed over in the morning, held a telegram from the British consul. He yelled: "This group of devils! This group of devils! Douglas, our friends told us that the Chinese in Guangzhou did not treat the pilots who jumped in accordance with the Geneva Convention. They executed them and hung their bodies on the telephone poles! We must revenge fiercely..."

‘Paper bombing that made the enemy scared’, ‘Paper bombing, virtue defeats violence, is a feat’, ‘Humanitarian expedition, paper bombing’… The next morning when the South China Air Force bombed Manila, the China Times, Ta Kung Pao, Shen, Newspaper, Times Beijing and Tianjin newspapers, all of which were full of nagging and Westernized newspapers, all of which were front-page headlines published the news of the Air Force bombing the Philippines. Those local newspapers that did not publish this news on the front page had to leave a place on the second page to send the press release from the Ministry of Rites Propaganda Department to pudding. With this brainwashing report, tens of thousands of students who were ready to move inside and outside the capital finally became quiet, and those Yanda, Fu Ren, and Nankai students who were holding radio broadcasts finally had an excuse to convince students to go home.

"Students, we must believe in the government, closely unite around the cabinet with Premier Weng as the core, and work together to overcome this difficulty. Never let the warlords and let the war dealers bewitch the warriors, and inspire greater wars. Students, the Prime Minister is busy with all kinds of things and tries to find ways to eliminate war and rebuild peace. We are not a barbaric country, we are a civilized country that loves peace, poetry, books, rituals and music, benevolence, righteousness and morality, these are our precious wealth..."

Outside the Zhonghua Gate, more than 20,000 college and technical school students blocked the inner city gathered here. This is because the inner and outer city gates were closed early, otherwise the entire capital would be filled with these students. In the scorching sun, Yan University students who had to keep talking to the radio were exhausted, but persuading these petitions to withdraw were related to the existence of the new cabinet. Under the personal order of the principal Lu Zhiwei, these people have been struggling to break up.

"Student, what you said seems to make some sense." When Yan Dazhong, who was holding the radio, was breathing separately and resting, a student with a Northeast accent walked up with a smile.

Even in the view of Jiang Menglin, Minister of the Cultural Affairs Department, Northeast students are the most unsophisticated and evil. The first group to enter the city has been locked up by hundreds of people. But the problem is that these students are not afraid of being locked up at all. They all ran to the patrol hall to surrender. Hundreds of students in the patrol hall can be locked up, but how can tens of thousands of students be locked up? Even if these tens of thousands of students are locked up in the military camp outside the city, where are hundreds of thousands and hundreds of thousands of students? So the cabinet is most worried about the Northeast students causing trouble.

At this time, a student with Northeast accent came towards him. Zhongdian immediately moved the patrolman next to him, but said, "If students think it makes sense, please get the travel expenses early to go home."

"But I just don't understand, what does other people's planes throw bombs, and our planes throw papers? "The north and south have always been difficult for each other. This not-to-high Northeast student made all the students near Zhonghuamen applaud and applaud with just one word.

"Does this mean: I punch you, and you throw a piece of paper to me?" The little man said as he rolled up his sleeves. Although he was small, he had a lot of muscles on his hands.

"Students, beating people is an uncivilized behavior. Americans are uncivilized. We cannot become uncivilized because Americans are uncivilized." Seeing that students from Northeast China seemed to really want to beat people, they rushed in and hid behind the patrol police, but kept saying that, "If we bomb the Philippines, American planes will bomb us again, and the people will suffer more casualties..."

Seeing that he had actually hid behind the patrolman, the little man couldn't help but curse: "Cowboy! If you have a fight, we will fight. If I lose, I will go home. How about it?"

On one side is a good civilized student, and on the other side is a bad student. Of course, the little man invited the battle and did not get a response. When he was about to return to the land where he was squatting, a student on the east side of the Cross Street ran over quickly, and behind him were a few patrolmen in plain clothes.

"Students!! American planes...bomb Guangzhou...people..." Before the student finished speaking, he was thrown to the ground by plainclothes behind him, and then took the person away before the students rushed over. In order to block the students, another plainclothes stood up and he shouted: "Dear students, believe in the government! Don't spread rumors, don't spread rumors. The Scripture Academy has just passed a bill, and those who spread rumors during wartime will be sentenced to serious crimes!"

"How is Guangzhou?" said a student in the crowd. When he said that, other students asked in a voice.

"Guangzhou was bombed by American planes again. For the specific situation, you can read tomorrow's newspaper or listen to the radio." The plainclothes's purpose was to block the students. At this time, he saw that the students were asking Guangzhou how they did not chase the student they were carrying just now, so he turned around and left.

'China Radio Station, China Radio Station: Now I have a message that our station has just received: At 10:3 noon today, the US Air Force bombed Guangzhou again. Fortunately, the local government has organized it well, and the Air Force soldiers vowed to resist to the death, and the people did not suffer major losses reads;. China Radio Station, China Radio Station: Now I have a message that our station has just received...'

The radio that was ringing in Wenhua Palace was turned off by Weng Wenhao. He took off his glasses and wiped his face a few times before saying, "What's going on in Guangzhou? Why did such a huge disaster?"

Wu Jingchao, who had a plaster on his nose, wanted to speak but stopped. Military adviser Jiang Baili = Ze said: "Prime Minister, Guangzhou almost caused a big fire in the last bombing. This was caused by the accidental bombing of the Huangpu Shipyard. The target of the American plane this time was Guangzhou City, so..."

"How many casualties will be about?!" Weng Wenhao put on his monocle glasses and asked a question he was most concerned about.

"This..., the telegram said it was a huge 100,000 yuan. I think if there was a fire in the whole city, there would probably be more than 100,000 yuan in casualties!" Jiang Baili said, which made Weng Wenhao, Wu Jingchao, Shi Chengzhi and others feel chills.

"There are so many?" Wu Jingchao asked in a muffled voice. He was scratched by Huang Zongbing, and his nose bone was broken and he was very uncomfortable to speak.

"Guangzhou is full of wooden buildings. Because the streets are old towns, they are extremely narrow, and their permanent population exceeds one million. The General Staff has previously evaluated that once bombed with incendiary bombs, more than 300,000 casualties will be killed or injured!"

Chiang Baili's 300,000 yuan made everyone gasp. The responsibility for this matter is entirely in the Prime Minister's Cabinet. The General Staff required the Prime Minister to authorize the Prime Minister to mobilize the army, and to take over the government and evacuate some densely populated and fire-prone cities. Now the Prime Minister approves the resignation of the General Staff, but only requires the garrison troops in various places to resist on the spot, and has not evacuated these cities. The responsibility is of course in the Prime Minister's Office.

"What should I do?" Weng Wenhao sat on the chair and began to stutter.

"Prime Minister, the news is temporarily under control, but there are consulates from Japan, North Korea and other countries in Guangzhou. They are not in the city. The Japanese must be rushing to tell the matter out." Shi Chengzhi said. As soon as he saw the telegram, he ordered the National Security Bureau to take over the telecommunications bureaus in various places, but he could not let the National Security Bureau personnel take over the Japanese consulates in various places.

"Prime Minister, it seems that it is not right for the United States..." Wu Jingchao endured the severe pain, but the phone rang. Wang Yunwu picked up the phone and his face changed drastically without saying a few words. When Weng Wenhao looked at him, he said: "Prime Minister, Kong Yongzhi..."

"What's wrong with Kong Yongzhi?" Seeing Wang Yunwu like this, Weng Wenhao couldn't help but shout loudly.

"Kong Yongzhi ran away!" Wang Yunwu's phone was not firmly held and hit the ground, but he was already numb. He said, "Song Ziwen also ran away, they all left a letter of resignation..."

"This group..." Weng Wenhao was furious. He had not finished scolding yet, and he had not finished sending the anger. Another phone rang again. This time, Wang Yunwu answered the phone. He heard a sentence and handed the microphone to Wenhao and whispered: "It's Mr. Jingwu."

"Yongni, today's matter, the Jiyi Academy can't hold back. The cabinet should resign voluntarily." The phone was the voice of the Kuomintang veteran Hu Ying. Obviously, he already knew about the fire in Guangzhou.

"Mr. Jingwu, things must not be abandoned halfway!" After reaching out and waving away others, Weng Wenhao spoke with a plea. Hu Ying's support for him has been spared this year. Many opposition voices within the party were suppressed by him. Unexpectedly, he would make him resign voluntarily one day.

"Yongni, you resign now, and these old bones of the Kuomintang may be able to protect you. If you don't resign, then..." Hu Ying sighed on the phone and finally said: "Yongni, please take care of yourself."
Chapter completed!
