Rebirth of the National Marshal

"Your cousin has been a naughty boy since he was young. You must teach him a lesson when you go back. Your mother always dotes on him. Look at what he did. Wang is a veteran, but he can actually speak like this. What kind of attitude is this? Will he speak to me in this tone in the future? This is a very serious matter. You must let him know his mistakes, and after the military meeting, you must let him apologize to Wang in person."

Although Xiao Jiang answered timidly and apologized on behalf of Mao Yuanshan from time to time, he was very clear about his father's character and did not give any substantial punishment at all. It can be said that he was raised high and then let go lightly.

From the beginning to the end, I just asked my cousin to go over and apologize. After all, saying a few words won't cost you any money, and there is no substantial punishment. If you all go over and apologize for the elders, it will be a big loss of face, but my cousin is just a young man, not even as old as me! Wang is so old, what's wrong with him going over to apologize? Just think of it as a younger generation apologizing to an elder.

And as I said just now, you have to apologize after the military meeting, which means that apologizing is not an important thing. If you really take this matter seriously, you should let Chiang Ching-kuo accompany Mao Yuanshan to apologize. After all, you two are cousins ​​and are seen as an integrated group in the entire government.

All these things were just a small episode in front of the Supreme Military Conference. No matter how angry Wang was, and no matter how much Mao Yuanshan didn't give him face, it was all gone with the wind! The most important issue now was to discuss the main strategy for fighting against Japan.

Although the Nationalist government has already confirmed the plan to open a second front, it still needs the giants of the country to come and discuss it. Without their support, it is impossible to open a second front relying on the strength of one company alone. You must know that the second battlefield opened here will be even larger than before. Now the Japanese army already has nearly 10,000 troops stationed in the Shanghai area.

Although the Central Army is the most powerful in the country, there is still a big gap between them when facing the Japanese. It has been seen in the war that the Central Army, which he is proud of, is still not strong enough when fighting against the Japanese. Therefore, if he wants to win, he must mobilize the whole country.

Otherwise, even if you sacrifice all your Central Army, you will not be able to win. This must be made known to everyone. What is more important is that if even the Central Army cannot resist the Japanese cavalry, then what do you think the local troops you have saved can do? It will definitely be more difficult for you to fight the Japanese head-on.

Now let you know that the Central Army is the main force in the front, and you must send your troops to support. This is the most important thing at the moment, and it is to let everyone work together to overcome the difficulties. This is also the most appropriate way of fighting.

To put it more simply, I want you to understand that we are about to have a big war, and you must listen to my orders and do whatever I tell you to do. The previous methods of preserving strength must be curbed, otherwise not only will you not be able to accomplish anything, but you will also suffer heavy losses.

The military meeting was held in the Operations Department of the Ministry of National Defense. It was the first time that Mao Yuanshan had been to this place. After a few words, he heard these three words and everyone stood up.

At this time Mao Yuanshan felt a little helpless. In his opinion, he came into this world as a soldier, but now he had to stand on the side of government officials because he did not have an official number.

Moreover, his military rank is only a major general. If he were to stand on the side of the army, he would probably have to stand at the end, where the lowest rank is lieutenant general.

"Okay, everyone sit down. There is no need to deal with all this nonsense. Now is not the time to do this. Let's take a look at the situation on the front line. Ci Xiu, can you explain the situation on the front line?" General Chen Cheng, Deputy Minister of Military and Political Affairs and Chief of the General Staff of the Canadian Army, immediately walked to the side of the map.

"Everyone, this is the current battlefield situation. We have more than 40 troops in the Huabei area and are confronting the 13 Japanese troops on this line. Now this line of defense is full of loopholes. According to the calculations of our Military and Political Department, we can only hold out for one to two months at most. This is just the beginning. According to our military chess simulation, if we continue to increase troops in the Huabei area, the Japanese army will inevitably also increase troops in the Huabei area, and we will fight a war of attrition in this place, which is extremely disadvantageous for us, because the final result of the war of attrition is that we still can't hold on and have to continue to retreat." This is what General Chen Cheng said in his opening remarks.

As for the situation in northern China, the people here basically understood it. They were basically dumbfounded when the war started. In their opinion, although there was a certain gap between the training of the army and that of the Japanese soldiers, they did not expect the gap to be so big as it is now. They all believed that even if the army lacked some heavy artillery, it would not suffer such a heavy loss.

In the final analysis, these people did not consider their own and others' strengths carefully. Now that the results on the battlefield are out, they must change their original combat strategy. Otherwise, if it is the same as what they said at the beginning, no matter how many people die, they cannot stop the Japanese army's advance. They must concentrate local superior forces to achieve final victory.
