Chapter 638: The words of matchmaking
"Brother Jinfan, don't worry, I came here this time to solve the problem in Chengdu. Of course, since Brother Zhongshan is here, I also need Brother Zhongshan to help in this matter." Wu Shaoting said calmly.
"What can Commander Liu do? Humph, it would be nice if he didn't help him." Xiong Kewu said angrily. While speaking, he threw the sleeve of the long gown in disgust and moved a step subconsciously, clearly not wanting to be with Liu Cunhou.
"Commander Xiong, you're too disgusting!" Liu Cunhou smiled coldly, but he didn't care about Xiong Kewu's cold words. Now that Wu Shaoting found his help, it means that it is profitable to follow the crowd. Of course, he has to let go of his personal grudges. "President Wu just tells the orders and uses Liu's place, and Liu will never refuse!"
"Two, have you said what I said before in vain? Well, let me just say it directly. Brother Jinfan, your first division, the second division is the Sichuan Army, your third division, and the fourth division is also the Sichuan Army. To put it bluntly, if you are not united within the Sichuan Army, how can you pacify Chengdu? How can you take charge of the overall situation of Sichuan Province?" Wu Shaoting said in a stronger tone.
Xiong Kewu and Liu Cunhou couldn't speak at once. Although they understood that Wu Shaoting's words were right, it would be impossible to let go of the grudges between the two so easily.
Wu Shaoting sighed and continued, "That's all about gossip. The Yunnan Army and the Guizhou Army are one of the military forces of our southern government, but I still don't want them to focus on their own interests. It is reasonable for Sichuan people to govern Sichuan. If the Beiyang Army had not made a thrust into Sichuan, the Yunnan Army and Guizhou Army would not have taken the opportunity to expand their power in Sichuan. Now the Beiyang Army is out of the way, and Sichuan should have recovered as before."
Xiong Kewu nodded repeatedly and said, "That's the reason. President, what are your plans?"
Liu Cunhou also raised his spirits and waited seriously for Wu Shaoting's next words.
Wu Shaoting said: "I will do my best to talk to Brother Jinfan and Brother Zhongshan in Sichuan. However, Brother Jinfan and Brother Zhongshan must clearly express their views on the Southern Government. The Battle of Sichuan is the first battle between our Southern Government and the Beiyang Government. Republican democracy and national unification cannot be achieved in one day, so we must continue to fight. I can strive to restore Sichuan as before, but I don't want to see your mind as before!"
Xiong Kewu suddenly realized that the end of the Sichuan War was just another beginning. Wu Shaoting's tone became louder and louder, and he would never give up until he forced the Beiyang government down. If it were the past, he would have thought that Wu Shaoting was a madman, but the battle of Sichuan really increased morale. Even if Beijing was far away, he still had confidence to penetrate Hunan and approach Hubei.
Immediately, he expressed his solemnly: "President Wu, Xiong has indeed considered a lot of support for the Southern Government. On the one hand, he hopes to restore the power of Sichuan people to govern Sichuan, and on the other hand, he is also dissatisfied with Yuan Shikai's trampling on civil rights. Xiong knows that this war is of revolutionary significance. As a soldier of the country, he must serve the country. As long as President Wu orders, our Sichuan army will fight wherever you point to it. Don't ask outsiders to say that our Sichuan army can only fight a civil war!"
When he said the last sentence, he stared at Liu Cunhou again.
Liu Cunhou was still hesitating, but he didn't have such long-term plans. He just wanted to stabilize his power in Sichuan first and follow the situation. However, now Xiong Kewu has represented the "Shuo Army" in front of him. If he doesn't say a word, it will definitely be greatly reduced in Wu Shaoting's heart.
After sighing secretly, he said with a thorn in his eyes: "I, Liu Cunhou, are just a person who changes his ruthlessness in everyone's eyes, and they don't know that I just followed the orders of the central government before. Since the central government in the north is unpopular, I must support the southern government wholeheartedly. The Sichuan Army also has me, and Commander Xiong can do it, but I, Liu Cunhou, cannot do it!"
Wu Shaoting smiled and said, "It's great that you have such a determination. The General Staff Headquarters moved to Chengdu, and everyone knows the next step of the battle. This is also related to my regulation of Sichuan. I will give the next order in a few days. Brother Zhongshan, your troops will be headed to Chongqing to participate in the last battle against Chongqing!"
Liu Cunshak's face suddenly became embarrassed and cursed in his heart: Damn, I just made a promise, you should push me to the front line. What the hell is it! Although he was reluctant in his stomach, he had no choice but to say everything just now, and now he could only straighten his chest and answer: "No problem, I will hit wherever the president pointed!"
Wu Shaoting was amused in his heart, and he said again: "Brother Zhongshan, don't worry, Chongqing will not let you fight in vain. As long as you take Chongqing, Brother Jinfan and I will definitely recommend you as the Chongqing garrison. This is an important place to control the lifeline of Sichuan, so we will naturally have to leave it to your Sichuan army to take responsibility."
Xiong Kewu's face looked a little bad. He knew that Wu Shaoting was just saying polite words. In fact, the decision was still in the hands of Wu Shaoting, and he was just a name. But looking back, it was not a bad thing to transfer Liu Cunhou to Chongqing. It was better to be upset than staying in Chengdu.
Liu Cunhou's eyes lit up. He had thought that Wu Shaoting would put himself in Luzhou and Suining, but he didn't expect that this time he encountered an opportunity and put it in Chongqing. Chongqing is a good place, both in strategy and economy, and it is the most important city in Sichuan. Of course, even if Wu Shaoting wants to control the finances of the entire Chongqing, there are still many opportunities to make a fortune in this fat place.
He immediately said confidently: "Thank you for the cultivation of the president, thank you for the promotion of General Xiong. I will do my best. As long as the president gives an order, I will be ready to set off at any time."
Wu Shaoting nodded and said, "The reason why I asked Brother Zhongshan to go to Chongqing is not only to end the Sichuan war as soon as possible with the last blow in Chongqing, but also to set an example for the Yunnan Army and the Guizhou Army. I hope Brother Zhongshan can make this example better."
Liu Cunhou said seriously: "It must be!"
Wu Shaoting turned to Xiong Kewu and continued: "Brother Jinfan, you have agreed to be the governor of Sichuan before, but now even Brother Zhongshan agrees and supports it. I believe this issue will not be too big. I will announce it together at the meeting at that time."
Xiong Kewu finally felt a little relieved and sighed: "Everything depends on President Wu!"
Wu Shaoting's speech turned sharply, his face suddenly became serious, and he said with a stress: "Brother Jinfan, I believe you are still worried. The Yunnan Army and the Guizhou Army have tens of thousands of people pressed on Chengdu. To be honest, even I am not at ease. So I will talk a few more words here. The Sichuan Army and our southern government must maintain a closer relationship. As for your brothers within the Sichuan Army, you must be more united. This is the case now, and this should be the case in the future. Brother Jinfan, Brother Zhongshan, do you understand what I mean?"
Xiong Kewu and Liu Cunhou both felt the pressure emitted by Wu Shaoting. They were not fools. In fact, to put it bluntly, it was necessary for the Sichuan Army to maintain personal relationship with Wu Shaoting. Wu Shaoting is the government, and there is only one Wu Shaoting in the government!
The two of them dared not have the relaxed attitude they had before. They really didn't expect that they would have such a strong aura in a young man.
"Don't worry, CEO, I understand."
"The president's words must be remembered in my heart!"
"If the Guizhou Army and the Yunnan Army insist on making things worse... I don't want to see this scene, but I will never tolerate it! Do you know what to do then?" Wu Shaoting said in a cold tone.
Hearing this, Xiong Kewu felt a little more at ease. He needed this confidence now. Once he had no choice, as long as he had Wu Shaoting's support, even behind the scenes, he would have the confidence to turn against the Guizhou Army and the Yunnan Army.
"Everything is followed by the president's order!" Xiong Kewu said solemnly.
"Mr. Liu is absolutely right!" Liu Cunhou nodded and said. Although he did not want to have a head-on conflict with Yun and Guizhou provinces, since Wu Shaoting had both spoken out, he might not be unable to make profits from it. What's more, this is indeed related to the overall situation in Sichuan. How can both be a member of the Sichuan Army ignore it?
