Chapter 942, Poison Gas Bullet

At the same time, the head of state camp of the Sujiatun Military Camp in Fengtian City was busy with lights. This was the last ten hours before the war started. All the figures in the high-level positions did not dare to relax. Even Zhao Erxun, the former governor of the three eastern provinces who had been growing flowers and grass, talked about the wind and moon for so many years, called several times to report on the logistics materials collected from the major gentry of the three eastern provinces. The attendants of the Group Army Command asked all the staff to cancel their leave, and a latest report would be delivered to Wu Shaoting's desk every ten minutes. Sometimes he would read these reports by himself, and sometimes he simply asked the attendants to recite them. The contents of these reports were a series of confirmation orders before the war, and the most important thing was logistics preparations.

Ni Yingdian, the general director of the Ministry of National Defense, arrived in Fengtian by airship in the morning, and set up the General Logistics Office of the Ministry of National Defense in Fengtian City to personally coordinate and coordinate the transportation and distribution of strategic materials. It is not difficult to get all combatants ready to go. The most difficult thing is how to properly manage the complex materials.

At nine o'clock in the evening, Wang Chengyun took a car to Sujiatun Military Camp and hurriedly found Wu Shaoting in the head of state's office.

"Sir, the North Koreans... something happened..." After entering the door, Wang Chengyun didn't care about the staff, civilians, consultants, etc. coming and going in the office, and came directly to Wu Shaoting and said hesitantly.

"What's the situation!" Wu Shaoting immediately became serious. At this critical moment, what he didn't want to hear was an accident.

"Ray Chengman did not get the edict from the King of Korea. He said it would take a few more days!" Wang Chengyun said with a sigh.

"What?" Wu Shaoting frowned and cursed in his heart, "This bastard!" But this is easier to accept than other situations. In fact, he had never considered the edict of the Korean king before formulating the Asian strategy. With the current Sino-Japanese conflict, whether there is this edict or not will not change the outcome of the war.

"At the end of last month, the Governor's Office issued a full guard order for North Korea. The people sent by the North Korean temporary government could hardly contact the palace, so it wasted a lot of time. However, Cheng Wan Lee promised that he would definitely get the king's handwritten letter in five days, only five days!" Wang Chengyun said.

"I can't wait for five days. Humph, you should notify this kind of thing in advance. When is it now!" Wu Shaoting rebuked angrily. Of course, he knew that Wang Chengyun had just received a report from Cheng Wan Lee just now, but as the main liaison between China and North Korea, he was even appointed as an official in the temporary government of North Korea, and he also had an unshirkable responsibility.

"Sorry, the head of state, it's a humble position... I've dereliction of duty..." Wang Chengyun's forehead beads rolling down his sweat and quickly lowered his head to apologize.

Wu Shaoting pondered for a while and finally made a decision.

"You go and contact Prime Minister Li Dongning immediately. Is he in Beijing or Fengtian now?" Wu Shaoting asked.

"In Beijing." Wang Chengyun said.

"That's it. You can find some professional people first, write me an edict according to the format of the Korean king's edict, and then ask the Military Intelligence Bureau to forge the king's seal on it. After this matter is completed, notify Li Dongning and send the edict for them to take a look. Then we will do our business according to this edict." Wu Shaoting ordered slowly.

"Forgery of the edict? I'm afraid there will be something wrong with the head of state." Wang Chengyun immediately reminded him worriedly.

"What's wrong with it? I'm afraid that even the King of Korea himself would like to send troops to help them restore the country. There is nothing more to say now. It's just a procedural form. At worst, just ask their king to make up for it later." Wu Shaoting didn't care about this matter at all. There are still many complicated things waiting to be dealt with. In comparison, this matter can be simply dealt with first.

"What I worry about is not the present. Perhaps the North Koreans will admit this because they urgently need our assistance. However, this will lay a hidden danger in the future. If there is any conflict at that time, this matter can be big or small, and it will eventually be disadvantageous." Wang Chengyun said conscientiously.

"That's why I asked you to talk to the temporary government and keep discussing this matter until you don't leave any hidden dangers. At most, let the temporary government leave a written promise and let all of them sign their names." Wu Shaoting said angrily.

"I understand." Wang Chengyun was stunned for a moment, and immediately reacted, and then immediately said, "I will do it now."

Wu Shaoting didn't say anything more, but just waved his hand and asked Wang Chengyun to leave on his own.

Not long after, Wu Peifu and an adjutant walked into the office gate quickly and came to Wu Shaoting.

Wu Shaoting had been waiting for news from Wu Peifu before. After seeing the other party arrive, he asked first: "Brother Ziyu, how is the situation on the front line?"

Wu Peifu said simply: "It is all ready. The 34th and 37th Divisions have officially received the order to start the war. General Songpo set out for Dandong half an hour ago. He will go to the front line to supervise the battle in person."

Wu Shaoting nodded thoughtfully. The headquarters of the War of the Three East Provinces has been established. Although Cai E, as the highest military commander of the Three East Provinces, will greatly boost morale when he appears on the front line of the war at this time, he still needs to pay more attention to his personal safety issues. However, this issue is not the most important issue, and Cai E should have his own sense of responsibility.

After a while, Wu Peifu continued: "I plan to set off for Yanbian in the early morning tomorrow. There are still some troops in the 38th Division that are gathering. I must go to supervise myself and adjust the attack status of the troops as soon as possible."

Wu Shaoting pondered and said, "Okay. I really hope that the 38th Division can break through the Japanese defense line from Yanbian. After all, the Japanese army's deployment in northeastern North Korea is not strict, and the 38th Division's operations will definitely be smoother than other groups of people. But this is just my opinion. At that time, you must depend on the specific situation and must not underestimate the enemy."

Wu Peifu smiled and said, "Don't worry, the head of state, will definitely live up to his responsibilities and will definitely fight a beautiful battle."

Wu Shaoting nodded and said, "It is a good thing to be confident."

At this time, Wu Peifu said again: "By the way, Head of State, Director Gu sent a telegram just now, and Germany has decided to provide us with a new military equipment priority."

Wu Shaoting raised his eyebrows and asked, "Is there news so soon?"

Wu Peifu turned around and waved to his adjutant. The adjutant immediately took out a document from his briefcase and handed it to Wu Peifu, and then handed it to Wu Shaoting. He said: "The Germans didn't expect that we would start war so soon, but as long as the war started against Japan, even if they formally implemented their Far East strategy, they should certainly pay special attention to it. Furthermore, according to what they said, the current situation on the European battlefield has improved, and Germany has an extra amount of supplies to help us China. This new military equipment is just a prelude. As long as the German navy clears the Mediterranean channel, more materials will be transported in."

When Wu Shaoting heard this, he felt a little sneered in his heart. The German navy tried to clear the Mediterranean channel, which was simply a fantasy! As long as Britain firmly controlled the port of the Suez Canal, German warships would never want to control the Mediterranean channel. It was obvious that Germany either had over-inflated or deliberately kept it a secret, but in the final analysis, it was not wanting to support China immediately.

He was not too confused about this issue for the time being. In short, he has gained a little from Germany now, and he is not a greedy person. While picking up the telegram sent by Wu Peifu, he asked, "Has the Qingdao German Command determined to send warships to aid us?"

Wu Peifu said: "There has not been a formal reply yet, but Director Gu mentioned in the telegram that the Germans have ordered Qingdao Naval Base to enter the highest level of preparation for war, and they should send warships to support us."

Wu Shaoting suddenly found something in the telegram and said incredibly surprised: "Poison gas bomb!" He immediately suppressed his voice and looked at the busy staff around him. Fortunately, no one noticed his loss of composure just now.

He immediately stood up and said to Wu Peifu with a telegram: "Go to the small conference room next door to talk."

Wu Peifu felt very strange. The German side planned to provide new poison gas bombs to help China deal with the ***. Why did the head of state react so violently on the "toxic gas bomb"? However, he didn't ask anything, but followed Wu Shaoting to leave the big office and walked through the corridor to a small conference room opposite.

"The new military equipment provided by the Germans to us is actually poison gas bombs?" After closing the door of the small conference room, Wu Shaoting turned around and asked seriously.
