Chapter 469 The Power of Capital
Most of the guards guarding around the open land were curious about the people in the center of the open land. However, except for the previous three people, the entire open land was guarded by the officers and soldiers of the task force.
If Bai Chongxi had not given the order before, I was afraid that the guards he brought would rush in to check the situation. Although this vigilance made Bai Chongxi's guards dissatisfied, these officers and soldiers could see that the task force was extraordinary.
If you are qualified to be a member of the guard force, your combat effectiveness is naturally not weak. Now seeing the combat members of the task force, the officers and soldiers of the guard force know that these people are more elite than them and their combat effectiveness is probably stronger.
Although most of the military uniforms are worn on them, most of the combat team members of the task force are equipped with pistols. In addition, the combat team members who carry submachine guns and hold machine guns on the roof of the vehicle, it is obvious that these people are not easy to mess with.
As long as there was no gun inside, the guards waiting outside did not dare to attack the task force's cordon at will. Even if some officers and soldiers were angry, they would not dare to ignore the orders given by Bai Chongxi before.
Bai Chongxi, who was sitting on the cannon box drinking, said curiously: "Brother, I have really given these things to me? I am afraid I feel ashamed of such a big gift. Brother, are there any conditions attached?"
Even if you have just met Hu Biao, Bai Chongxi could tell that Hu Biao was also very straightforward when speaking lightly. Since you know that you can't recruit Hu Biao, it is necessary to deepen your cooperation with each other and build a certain amount of trust first.
Facing Bai Chongxi's inquiry, Hu Biao also said directly: "Brother, I can hide some of my situation from others. I must not be able to hide it from you. Since all the things have been shipped, I must have kept my word.
In fact, the things I gave were just for offering Buddha through flowers. Brother should know that fighting behind enemy lines with so many spoils is a piece of fat under the Japanese's nose, which will only cause disaster for me.
In the later stage, I plan to go to other places, and I can’t take away the seized spoils. I also gave General Xu and General Yu some of the spoils I seized before. This time I pass by Xinyang, I always have to buy some money!”
After hearing what Hu Biao said, Bai Chongxi said with interest: "I heard from Brother Delin that I seem to love yellow and white things more. If you take action on the spoils you seized, I believe there will be a lot of people paying for them, right?"
"The question is, where do the money paid come from? If the money for buying weapons is Minquan ointment, then I might as well give it to the people who are sincere in the War of Resistance Against Japan and fight against the Japanese. I do need money, but I won't make some money!"
"Benevolence and righteousness! I will give you a cup for your kindness and righteousness!"
A gentleman loves money and takes it in a good way!
Many people understand this principle, but not many people can truly follow this in troubled times. At least for Hu Biao, he will not feel guilty about the wealth he has now. Because most of it is spoils.
Even if you sell drugs for profit, compared with other unscrupulous drug dealers, the prices of drugs sold by Hu Biao are enough to be fair. Perhaps because of the fair price, even those who have cooperated with Hu Biao hope to increase the transaction volume.
After three rounds of drinking, Hu Biao took the initiative to ask: "Everyone said that my brother is a living Zhuge of Zhiduoxing. I wonder what kind of insights do you have about the current situation and the battle situation? I have a rare opportunity to ask for advice this time, I hope my brother will give you advice!"
Facing Hu Biao suddenly mentioned the topic to the current situation and the battle situation, Bai Chongxi said with a little surprise: "Since my brother Jinling has been making great achievements, I have found that I can be said to be completely clear. I am ashamed of giving advice! If I am interested, how about we communicate?"
"I'd like to give you advice, brother!"
As Bai Chongxi explained his analysis of the current situation and the situation, and clearly stated that as the Japanese army's offensive front lengthened, it would be difficult for the Japanese army to organize large-scale corps such as the Battle of Xuzhou and Wuhan in the future.
From this point of view, Hu Biao can also see that Bai Chongxi is indeed very strategic and lives up to his reputation as "Bai Zhuge"!
Then Bai Chongxi's words, Hu Biao also said directly: "With my brother's advice, it seems that I am more confident. As for the current situation, it is probably difficult to defend Wuhan, and it may also severely defeat the Japanese soldiers.
If the Battle of Wuhan is over, the current Japanese army will be in charge of attack and our army will be in charge of defense will also change. This also means that our combat policy will also change from strategic defense to strategic confrontation, and both the Japanese and us will need time.
There is only one thing, I think I can remind you that our eyes cannot be limited to Wuhan. If I pay attention to the national war situation, then you should already know that the Japanese army is forcing towards Guangdong Province, right?
From what I learned, the Japanese army has gathered heavy troops in Baodao and Ryukyu. This time, they will no longer simply bomb, and they will likely carry out landing operations. Can the defenders of Guangdong Province block the Japanese attack?"
As soon as these words came out, Bai Chong frowned and said, "Brother, what you said is true? Didn't you say it to the above?"
"I just received the information! Besides, I think this information should be more substantial than if I were to verify and report it. Secondly, once Guangdong Province falls, where will the Japanese army's troops be directed next?"
"As far as the forces currently invested by the Japanese army on the Wuhan battlefield, do they still have the strength to embezzle Guangdong Province?"
Faced with the doubts raised by Bai Chongxi, Hu Biao shook his head and said, "I believe that many people in the mountain city now have the same idea as brother. The problem is that you have underestimated the war potential of Fusang too much, don't forget that they still have colonies.
Although the Japanese army has invested a lot of troops, how many troops does the Japanese army need to invest in capturing Guangdong Province? If I am right, I am afraid that the troops stationed in Guangdong Province will also think that the Japanese are taking off as a feint and intend to restrain our attention.
Since the Japanese embezzled the three northeastern provinces, we often lost the initiative and underestimated the Japanese's boldness and insidiousness. Compared with the victory or defeat of the Wuhan Battle, invading Guangdong Province is more important to the Japanese army and is more conducive to the Japanese army fighting a protracted war with us.
Shanghai fell and North China fell, and almost all our external ports were blocked by the Japanese. Guangdong Province is the only channel we can currently accept overseas supplies. Once blocked, the consequences will be fatal.
Don’t expect those foreigners to support us. The Japanese even dare to invade Shanghai. What’s the surprise of just a Guangdong province? Brother, don’t forget that besides our Asian artillery fire, Europe is now a mess.
The so-called military powers such as Britain and France have no energy to pay attention to the Asian battlefield in the face of Germany that has been prepared for many years. A few verbal protests cannot curb the ambitions of the Japanese army. Dominating Asia is the real ambition of the Japanese army!"
With Hu Biao saying this, Bai Chongxi was also very clear that once Guangdong Province falls, it will also pose a fatal threat to Guizhou Province. Once Guizhou Province faces the Japanese army's troops, it is still unknown whether the Guizhou army can withstand the Japanese invasion.
The two bigwigs of the Gui army are now able to have great prestige in the government and the army, which is more due to the strength of the Gui army and the stability of their nests. If Guizhou Province falls, the foundation they have will be shaken and their power will be suppressed.
Haven't you seen that before the outbreak of the Anti-Japanese War, the extremely powerful Jinsui Army in the north, after Taiyuan was captured by the Japanese army, the current Jinsui Army also relied on Chiang Kai-shek to support him. The status of Yan Laoxi in the army is no longer the same as before.
Realizing this crisis, Bai Chongxi quickly said, "Brother, in your opinion, what should we do?"
"Brother, I can only give some suggestions to remind you about how to do this military and national affairs. Brother, you still need to go on a journey. But one thing is that you must remind the Guangdong army to prepare for the war with all its might, and if possible, the troops must be drawn to support it.
In fact, even if my brother doesn’t come to Xinyang this time, I will send you a telegram to remind you. The reason is very simple. I have many things that I need to transport in from abroad. Once the Guangdong Province falls, I will have great trouble.
Secondly, I have another unhappy request, wanting to ask my brother for a piece of land. Now the south and the north are both under the Japanese army's military fronts. Even if I want to do something, it is difficult for me to hide the Japanese's eyes. Therefore, I need a safe place!"
If the previous reminder was a prelude, then what Hu Biao said at this moment was the real reason why he met Bai Chongxi tonight. Based in Su Province and starting to extend his power to the southwest was also a plan that Hu Biao had planned long ago.
In the southwestern provinces, Hu Biao felt that Guizhou Province was more suitable for his early development, and then slowly extended his tentacles to Yun Province. In the civil war, Hu Biao mainly attacked the Japanese army to expand its troops. In the future, Hu Biao could truly let go of his hands in the border areas.
When the Japanese officially launched the battle to embezzle the southwestern countries, Hu Biao also had the opportunity to continue fighting with the Japanese army and deal with the Japanese army in the southwestern countries. In this way, he continued to transfer his troops and support new partners.
If someone else made such a request, Bai Chongxi would definitely not consider it. But when Hu Biao said this, Bai Chongxi knew that Hu Biao would pay so much attention to the situation in Guangdong Province, which was definitely related to the forces behind him.
Thinking of this, Bai Chongxi also said seriously: "Brother, can you tell me the truth, which country do you represent?"
"Brother, you're thinking too much! I'm a descendant of Yan and Huang, and my skin and blood will never change. You will doubt me, maybe because I can provide medicines from various countries. The problem is, that's all the power of capital.
As long as you have money and have a certain connection, many people can actually do it. I want to ask my brother if he wants a piece of land, he just wants to leave a way out for himself. As for why he does this, he will understand when he comes to the future!"
Since the late Qing Dynasty and the early Republic of China, many warlords were behind the support of foreign powers. It is actually normal for Bai Chongxi to have such suspicion. But for Hu Biao, it is impossible to make him work hard for the foreign devils.
