    Chapter 89: Lushan Storm (Part 1)

    It was destined to be sleepless tonight, and it was obvious that not only Tsukada Gong, Matsui Iwane and others were awakened, but also the leaders of the National Government were awakened late at night.

    Lushan. Chairman¡¯s official residence.

    After laying out the battle plan to defend Nanjing on November 20, the Kuomintang government immediately issued the "Declaration of the National Government on Moving to Chongqing". Subsequently, government agencies and schools moved to the mainland one after another, and the headquarters headed by Chiang Kai-shek also withdrew on the 25th.  Arrive at Lushan Mountain.

    Because he was worried about the war on the front lines these days, Chiang Kai-shek had not had a good rest for several days. This was a rare thing for the always self-disciplined Chairman.

    ¡°Actually, Chiang Kai-shek really couldn¡¯t sleep even if he wanted to. There was nothing he could do. The situation on the front line was really worrying.

    Since the Nationalist Army lost the Battle of Songhu in early November and Shanghai was occupied by Japan, Chairman Chiang¡¯s life has become increasingly difficult.

    Shanghai has been China¡¯s gateway city to the outside world since modern times, known as the Pearl of the Orient. It is not only China¡¯s most important tax base, but also China¡¯s most important communication channel with the outside world. The fall of Shanghai was a huge blow to the National Government.

    But compared to Nanjing, the importance of Shanghai seems a bit insignificant. Since the fall of Shanghai, Nanjing has become a stone blocking the hearts of all senior military and political officials of the Nationalist Government.

    Nanjing City is only more than 300 kilometers away from Shanghai. It is not only connected by the Shanghai-Nanjing Railway, but also connected by the golden waterway of the Yangtze River. The Japanese navy and army can launch a waterway siege of Nanjing City.

    The most important thing is that due to errors at the tactical command level, the Nationalist troops withdrawing from Shanghai did not retreat in an orderly manner, but in chaos, completely destroying Chiang Kai-shek's original plan to rely on solid defense fortifications to block the Japanese army.  As a result, Chiang Kai-shek had no choice but to organize the defense war of Nanjing based on Nanjing City.

    But Chiang Kai-shek himself also knew that compared to the extremely powerful Japanese army, the Nanjing garrison composed of more than 100,000 defeated troops was too weak. In addition, the national army participating in the Nanjing battle at this time was neither in terms of soldier quality nor morale.  It can no longer be compared with the Battle of Songhu, and the combat effectiveness of the troops has seriously declined.

    In fact, at this point in the war, there is no need to defend Nanjing. If the war continues, it will only increase casualties, nothing more!

    Chiang Kai-shek knew this better than anyone else, but after all, Nanjing is the capital of the Republic of China, and the tomb of the Founding Father is in Nanjing. If the Japanese were to occupy it without firing a shot, Chiang Kai-shek knew that he would definitely be stabbed in the back by the Chinese.  , so he left one hundred thousand troops to hold on.

    Because of this, the battle to defend Nanjing was actually a battle with no chance of winning from the beginning. Chiang Kai-shek had made up his mind to bury Nanjing with one hundred thousand troops and one general, so that he could retain his face and not be defeated.  Someone lifted the last fig leaf away.

    ¡°After all, with those more than 100,000 troops, plus Tang Shengzhi, a veteran general with a reputation in the army, even if they were defeated, the people would have nothing to say, and no matter how bad the situation was, the people would not question them for fleeing without a fight.

    Whenever he thought that the home he had managed for ten years was about to be occupied by Japanese Japanese slaves, and that millions of people in Nanjing would tremble under the butcher's knife of the little Japanese, Chiang Kai-shek could not sleep at night.

    After staying up for four consecutive days, Lao Jiang finally couldn't stand it anymore. He took a few sleep-aid pills while his wife served him tonight, and finally fell asleep before eleven o'clock.

    However, just after sleeping for less than an hour, the military commander Dai Li hurried over and wanted to meet with the Chairman as soon as he entered the door.

    The guards knew the power of Director Dai in front of them, so they naturally did not dare to stop him, but the wife had specifically told him before that no one could disturb the Chairman unless the sky fell tonight.

    In desperation, the guards had no choice but to call Wang Shihe, the director of the attendant room, and let him make a decision!

    Wang Shihe was Chiang Kai-shek's nephew and was deeply trusted by him. She was also loyal to Chiang Kai-shek and was not afraid even in the face of the powerful military commander Dai Yunong.

    "Brother Yunong, you also know the principal's situation. I haven't slept for several days and I finally fell asleep. If it's not something particularly important, I'd better wait until tomorrow to report it!"

    When speaking, Wang Shihe emphasized the word "particularly special" because Wang Shihe also knew that if Dai Li could go up the mountain in person in the middle of the night, something must have happened, and it was not an ordinary thing.

    Under normal circumstances, Wang Shihe would not have stopped Dai Li, and would have even taken the initiative to help him wake up the Chairman.  Because Wang Shihe knew Chiang Kai-shek's temper very well and knew that he was a very dedicated leader. If he knew that he was blocking Dai Li's move to the?If you report the situation, you will definitely get angry.

    But today¡¯s situation is different from the past. With the Chairman¡¯s current situation, he really cannot be disturbed. He needs a quiet rest!

    "Director Wang, it's not that Yunong doesn't know the importance, but this matter is too important. Please report it to the committee immediately!" Dai Li said in a deep voice.

    "Is it really that important?"

    "Yes, I have informed Minister He and Chief Chen respectively before coming here. They are also on their way here now. Please ask the king for the mission!" Dai Li said solemnly.

    Wang Shihe was also surprised when he heard Dai Li's words. He knew that Dai Li was a person who knew the importance of things. Since Wang Shihe said that and the other party still insisted on seeing the commissioner, it was obvious that something big had happened, and it was still like that.  Such a big deal that the sky is falling!

    Although Wang Shihe was curious about what could happen that even a person like Dai Yunong could not handle, he did not ask. This was a necessary quality for being the director of the Attendant Office.

    Wang Shihe then nodded and said, "Brother Yunong, wait a moment, I'll go ask the principal right now!"

    "Thank you, Director Wang!" Dai Li said hurriedly.

    Despite the fact that Dai Li was in charge of the military commander-in-chief and had the rank of major general. He usually held the power of life and death for most military and political officials. He had a bit of the posture of a royal guard in the Ming Dynasty. He didn't pay attention to anyone except Lao Jiang.  inside.

    ¡°But Wang Shihe, the director of the attendant¡¯s office, is one of the few people Dai Li is unwilling to offend. As the head of the secret service, Dai Li is very clear about the relationship between Wang Shihe and the chairman of the committee. It is not just a superior-subordinate relationship, but an extremely close kinship relationship.

    Wang Shihe, like the Chairman of the Chairman, is from Fenghua, Zhejiang Province, and in terms of seniority, Wang is the cousin of the Chairman, and his grandfather is cousin to the Chairman's mother Wang Caiyu.  After Jiang's mother Wang Caiyu married into the Jiang family, her cousin worked as a clerk at the Jiang family's "Yutai Salt Shop".  A few years later, his cousin's grandson Wang Shihe became weak in his youth and remained unemployed at home.

    Wang Caiyu was asked by his cousin to find a job on his behalf.  Although Shihe only had a private school education, he was honest and simple by nature, quick-witted, and diligent. Therefore, he was assigned to be an apprentice at the "Yutai Salt Shop" and also waited for orders at the Jiang family.  Mao Fumei, the wife of the chairman's wife, not only has to serve her mother-in-law, but also helps to take care of the salt shop business. She is busy in and out. If there are any chores, she will ask Wang Shihe to take care of it on her behalf.

    Although Wang Shihe is young, he can always handle things properly and is very popular with the Jiang family.

    Later, Chairman Wang Shihe needed a trustworthy escort team, so he planned to select loyal and reliable young men from his hometown. Seeing that his cousin Wang Shihe was capable, strong, and responsive, he ordered him to recruit strong, hard-working young men from his hometown, and then selected  Jiang Hengxiang, Jiang Ruichang, and Jiang Fuyuan, three nephews of the Jiang clan, served as close bodyguards, forming a four-member bodyguard team.  Wang Shihe was 22 years old, older than other nephews surnamed Chiang, so the chairman of the committee ordered Wang Shihe to be the leader.

    Since 1922, Wang Shihe has been working hard by the Chairman's side, saving the Chairman from danger many times and winning the Chairman's trust.

    Later, the guards were reorganized, a guard class was established, and Wang Shihe was appointed as the chief guard, which has remained until now.

    Although Dai Yunong also won the trust of the Chairman, he was still a little worse than Wang Shihe because the Chairman's trust in him was limited and he was more cautious when using it. He only gave power but had extremely limited official status.  The big restriction is that his current position is only a colonel, while Wang Shihe is already a major general. The gap is not as big as usual!
