I really came here to fight against Japan

Song Wenwan said directly: "Minister, the radio stations and maps here are all yours to use.

And my chief of staff and operations staff, you can use them first.

I have already sent out the telegram we jointly signed to denounce them.

Except for the Red Army defending Hengshan, the more than 5,000 infantrymen cannot move for the time being.

The remaining 10,000-plus cavalry troops have already assembled in the direction of Suining County.

As for whether to fight or not, how to fight, and to what extent we fight them, it all depends on you."

The chief of the military headquarters was very moved, but he asked Song Wenwan to keep an eye on it for him in the command center first.

In addition to healing his wounds, the Minister also requested to be allowed some sleep first.

He had been riding on his horse intermittently for two days and two nights without closing his eyes.

In fact, this chief of the military affairs department is a smart man.

Otherwise, it would be impossible to sit in such a high position.

Since Song Wenwan has already issued their joint condemnation statement, they have also taken the initiative to send troops to show their sincerity.

They have made their position clear, and all that remains is to wait and see.

He would definitely not go back to Nanjing, as that place is already at the center of the storm. It's no exaggeration to say it's a den of dragons and tigers.

I heard that the Red Army also stopped all military operations in Shaanxi.

We have also gone all out and joined in the mediation of all parties.

Then, the defensive troops of the Xigan coalition would lose their meaning if they stayed outside Hengshan.

After two days of rest, the Chief of the National Staff finally expressed his intention to take charge of the situation.

Because his own car ran out of gas last time, he just abandoned it in the Gobi Desert.

Later, Song Wenwan asked someone to bring gasoline to find a car.

The car was towed back to the repair shop in Longshui and is being maintained.

So he simply got into the new car that Song Wenwan had prepared for him.

Everyone drove to Suining County, where a lot of troops had already gathered.

There are three cavalry detachments of Song Wenwan, with a total of more than 12,000 people.

There were also two infantry regiments of the Gansu Allied Forces, both deployed in Suining City.

The cavalry division that Ma's army brought over this time was the same one that had ruined the First Army.

After they escorted the First Division away, they stationed in this area and did not return to Xining.

The situation in Shaanxi is extremely complicated now. The people of the old Ma family are ready to become fence-sitters again.

When the time comes, they will help whichever side is in power.

Although the Xigan coalition forces were approaching in large numbers, they remained restrained at all times.

They did not cross the provincial border and tried their best to avoid conflict with the Northwest Army.

Now everyone actually understands each other tacitly.

Everything is on hold, waiting for the outcome of the game between the upper echelons.

During this period of time, Staff Officer Chen and Commissioner Wu also came to Suining County and secretly found Song Wenwan.

Song Wenwan said, "As the saying goes, wealth and honor come in danger. I have a fortune here. It depends on whether you two dare to take the risk."

After Staff Officer Chen and Commissioner Wu looked at each other, they immediately expressed their willingness to Song Wenwan.

Staff Officer Chen said, "Brother Song, we both trust your judgment the most. Just tell us what you need."

Song Wenwan said, "Do you two dare to go to Xi'an City to take care of your relative?"

Staff Officer Chen still couldn't figure out why they should take the risk when the situation was so dangerous.

The meticulous Commissioner Wu understood what Song Wenwan meant.

If he succeeds this time, he can transfer from the intelligence department to serve the 18th Army.

By then, his future prospects will be much better than they are now.

To be honest, he had had enough of the intrigue in the intelligence department.

Even with merit, it is not easy to get promoted, so it is better to cling to the 18th Army.

At least he has an acquaintance like Staff Officer Chen who can take care of his safety.

Xi'an seems very dangerous now, but it also contains an opportunity.

Commissioner Wu pointed at Staff Officer Chen and said, "Old Chen, this timely assistance is better than adding icing on the cake!

As long as we can meet the person this time, it would be best if we can stay with him for two more days.

You, a lazy major, can't be said to have been promoted three levels in a row.

There is still no limit to becoming your cousin's true confidant."

Staff Officer Chen said with shining eyes: "Old Wu, you know I really can't fight.

It's okay to be an idle director and get by on the military pay.

If my cousin really gives me a division commander, I won’t be able to command him! "

Song Wenwan couldn't stand it any longer and said to Staff Officer Chen, "Who would dare to ask you to go to war? Your uncle is not old enough to see clearly yet.

You could just use the Eighteenth Army as a banner to do business and logistics and earn military pay for your uncle."

After that, Song Wenwan arranged a car for the two of them.

A platoon of cavalry was sent to escort them to Xi'an.

The chief of the Military General Staff went to Xi'an with the two of them.

The people of the Northwest Army were quite impressed by this senior official who dared to return to Xi'an.

In addition, some people don’t eat well, complain every day, and threaten to go on a hunger strike.

So the three of them all met the people they wanted to see.

They all hugged their thighs and cried loudly, and also shouted, "It's my fault for not taking good care of you."

It is so heartwarming that they sent goose feathers from thousands of miles away.

The Minister of Military Affairs gave a detailed account of the reactions from all sides over the past few days.

Unexpectedly, the speed of resolving this incident was accelerated.

We have to hurry up. I heard that my hometown is about to be occupied by someone else.

They don't have the time to get angry with the people of the Northeast Army in Xi'an.

The relative of Staff Officer Chen also looked at this most disappointing cousin in the family.

Dare to take the risk at this time and deliver him a letter from home.

It seems that this nephew is not completely useless. I must train him well in the future.

Just half a month later, the matter was finally resolved satisfactorily.

The second cooperation between the Kuomintang and the Communist Party began, and Song Wenwan became busy again.

Under the leadership of the Chief of the Military General Staff, Song Wenwan, as the "hero" of this incident, went to Nanjing with him to report on his work.

Whether it is advance warning or a clear-cut stance afterwards.

All of these made his performance stand out among the local warlords.

This is in stark contrast to the stance and behavior of some people in the Ministry of National Defense.

The National Government was unable to repay him and rewarded him with the title of Vice Chairman of Gansu Province.

Although Song Wenwan cannot go to Lanzhou to take charge, in name only, he is already the second-in-command of Gansu Province.

The chief of the Military General Staff was also given an important position due to his outstanding performance.

This made him quite grateful to Song Wenwan.

At least during that half month, he did not suffer from worry and fear.

Staff Officer Chen was promoted directly from major chief of staff to colonel deputy chief of staff of the 18th Army.

This time he is not just a nominal director, but a deputy director with real power.

As a nephew who dares to share life and death with his uncle.

He was in charge of the 18th Army and all non-military affairs, and was also in the limelight for a while.

Commissioner Wu got what he wished for and became a lucrative county magistrate in the area under the jurisdiction of the 18th Army.

As a specialist in the Party Affairs Investigation Division, he had long been disgusted with the bloodshed and violence of spy warfare.

This time, with the protection of the 18th Army, Commissioner Wu, who had retired after completing his mission, began to live out his life as a county magistrate.
