The news that Guangde was lost and the commander of the 145th Division Rao Guohua died in his country was soon passed back to Nanjing.

Upon receiving the report, Chairman Jiang quickly drove to the Ministry of National Defense and convened senior generals such as He Yingqin, Bai Chongxi, and Liu Fei to discuss military information.

Before the meeting officially began, the Ministry of Defense received two telegrams from the front line at the same time.

The first telegram was sent by Pan Wenhua, the commander of the 23rd Army of Sichuan Army. Pan Wenhua accused the Ministry of National Defense that it was because Tang Shizun ordered the 145th Division to attack Guangde, and then secretly ordered his confidant Liu Ruzhai to preserve his strength and escape from Guangde, which led to Guangde's loss and Rao Guohua, the commander of the 145th Division, was killed.

The second telegram was sent by Tang Shizun, the commander of the 21st Army of the Sichuan Army.

Tang Shizun's rhetoric was completely opposite to Pan Wenhua. He said that the reason why Guangde was lost was entirely because Pan Wenhua's 23rd Army was not effective in combat, which led to the exposure of the flanks of the 21st Army.

From these two telegrams with completely opposite words, Chairman Jiang had keenly smelled an opportunity, a good opportunity to disintegrate the Chuan Army, namely Liu Xiang’s troops!

Chairman Jiang asked Bai Chongxi calmly: "Jiansheng, what do you think about this?"

Bai Chongxi sneered and said, "Can you believe Tang Erwen's words? This is obviously his target!"

This is obviously not the answer Chairman Jiang wanted, and asked Chen Cheng again: "Ci Xiu, what do you think?"

Chen Cheng was very clear about Chairman Jiang's thoughts and said respectfully: "Although Tang Shizun's words are not credible, Pan Wenhua's 23rd Army was ineffective in combat, which led to the exposure of the flanks of the 21st Army and eventually led to the loss of Guangde. Therefore, the main responsibility for Guangde's loss is still Pan Wenhua!"

When Bai Chongxi heard this, his face turned dark.

It’s over, Chairman Jiang’s old habits broke out again!

All of them are in a panic, and they are still thinking about dividing the Sichuan Army!

The most correct way to deal with this at this time should be to arrest Tang Erwen, a bad horse, Mingzhengdian!

Only by quickly dealing with Tang Erwen can the morale of tens of thousands of Sichuan soldiers in the 23rd Army be stable, and then there is a chance to build a second line of defense between Xuancheng and Wuhu!

However, Chairman Jiang believed that this was a good opportunity to divide and disintegrate the Sichuan Army!

Sure enough, as soon as Chen Cheng finished speaking, Chairman Jiang said: "Ci Xiu was right. Guangde's loss caused Xuancheng and Wuhu to be directly exposed to the Japanese army's military front. This will have a serious impact on the retreat of Nanjing's personnel, materials and institutions. Such a great responsibility must be borne by someone. I think this person is Pan Wenhua!"

The senior generals attending the meeting were moran and indeed wanted to attack the Sichuan Army!

"Removal! Pan Wenhua is immediately removed from office!" After a brief pause, Chairman Jiang said again, "Considering that there is no suitable person to take over the position of commander of the 23rd Army, Pan Wenhua can be temporarily retained! In addition, Liu Xiang is seriously ill and the 23rd Army cannot be unsupervised for a long time. Tang Shizun can replace the position of commander-in-chief of the group army!"

Chairman Jiang’s move is really vicious and sophisticated.

The conflict between Pan Wenhua and Tang Shizun is better than anyone else in the front line.

Therefore, the commander-in-chief was trying to suppress Pan Wenhua but supported Tang Shizun, which was equivalent to putting Tang Shizun on the fire. From now on, Tang Shizun has no other way except to devote himself to Chairman Jiang!

Taking advantage of Liu Xiang's serious illness, he helped Tang Shizun as commander-in-chief of the 23rd Army, and immediately seized Liu Xiang's military power!

With just one move, the 23rd Army of the Liu Xiang Group, the strongest combat power in the Sichuan Army, fell into the control of Chairman Jiang. This method is really not acceptable!

However, no matter how smart the political skills are, they cannot reverse the disadvantages of the military!

With Guangde's loss, Xuancheng and even Wuhu were directly exposed to the Japanese army's troops.

What is even more worrying is that Chairman Jiang's unrestrained operation will definitely seriously undermine the morale of the 23rd Army. Therefore, as long as half a month or as little as ten days, the Japanese army will definitely be able to advance to Wuhu and then cut off the Su-Ganzhou Railway and Highway.

In addition, Jiangyin is lost, and the Yangtze River's waterway is also facing the danger of being cut off by the Japanese Navy. As a result, all three channels between Nanjing and the outside world have begun to become precarious!

Bai Chongxi has already keenly foreseeed all this!

"Ten days! Up to ten days!" Bai Chongxi said, "The Japanese army will advance to Wuhu and completely cut off the Su-Gansu-Gansu-Railway!"

Because he couldn't stand Chairman Jiang's eating habits just now, Bai Chongxi deliberately shortened the time from half a month to ten days. In fact, according to his estimate, it would take at least half a month for the Japanese army to advance to the Wuhu line.

He Yingqin, Liu Fei and other senior generals who attended the meeting nodded and agreed.

Chairman Jiang turned his gaze to the Military Control Commissioner Yu Feipeng and asked, "Qiaofeng, is ten days enough?"

"Committee, ten days are not enough no matter what!" Yu Feipeng said, "It will take at least three months to transfer all the personnel and materials of Nanjing and various institutions!"

"Three months?" The senior generals who attended the meeting turned darker.

Even Chairman Jiang's face turned dark because he knew that this was impossible!

Chairman Jiang said: "Qiaofeng, you can consider giving priority to the evacuation of important personnel, materials and institutions."

He said it was priority, but Chairman Jiang actually meant to give up the unimportant personnel, materials and institutions. For example, ordinary people in Nanjing should not be cared about! There are also materials such as furniture and building materials that can be thrown away, and teaching institutions such as middle schools and primary schools should not care about them!

Just ensure that the key personnel in the three circles of military, government and business, weapons, medicine, grain, cloth and other materials, as well as important academic institutions such as universities and research institutes are transferred to the rear!

Yu Feipeng said: "Even if this is the case, it will take at least one and a half months!"

Speaking of this, Yu Feipeng was full of bitterness. Although he was the head of the Military Control Commission, he could theoretically requisition all the land, sea and air transportation tools in Nanjing, but in actual operations, this is not the case at all. If you don’t say anything else, he would not be able to provoke the Song family and the Kong family!

During this period, Song and Kong's families were rushing to transport private supplies to Wuhan.

Miss Kong Er even transported a truck of Taihu stones to Wuhan, saying that it would be used when I get back home in the future. Yu Feipeng stepped forward and persuaded him a few words. As a result, Miss Kong Er took out the gun without saying a word and pressed Yu Feipeng's head with the gun. What else can Yu Feipeng do? He could only close his eyes and pretend not to see it.

"Half a month!" Chairman Jiang said, "Qiaofeng, I can only give you half a month!"

Yu Feipeng sighed and said helplessly: "Sir, I can only do my best to do my best."
Chapter completed!
