Chapter 877: Boss Dai is under siege
Commander He's men were speechless and ashamed by Tang Fochuan's words.
There was a pause in the meeting room for a while, and suddenly someone turned their attention to Boss Dai.
The relationship between the army and the Military Control Commission has always been delicate. Some senior officials have a good relationship with Boss Dai, such as Xiao Wang's father.
But more generals were wary of or even hostile to the Military Intelligence Bureau, and tried every means to prevent it from getting involved in the army.
Whenever there was a major war, there were always people who tried every possible way to make trouble for the Military Intelligence Bureau. They would either say that the Military Intelligence Bureau was acting recklessly in the local area, extorting money and food, causing the people to panic and refuse to support the troops, or that the Military Intelligence Bureau's intelligence was ineffective and could not find out the enemy's strength, thus affecting the combat.
At this moment, someone finally spoke.
"So Director Dai is here too. I haven't heard you speak for a long time. I thought you weren't here."
Boss Dai said coldly, "How can I speak nonsense on such a serious matter? Although I didn't say anything, I did see a good show. If someone really makes it into an excerpt, Tang Fochuan will be the hero, but you won't know what role you will play."
The other party was a little exasperated. "The front line is extremely urgent. The funds and supplies used by your Military Control Commission every year are astronomical. How come there is no intelligence coming in?"
Without Boss Dai having to say anything, Shen Xing stepped forward and said, "How come there's no intelligence? If there's no intelligence, who would have confirmed that the Japanese army would launch an all-out attack on Zhongtiao Mountain? A dozen days ago, some people were saying the Japs were just conducting a mop-up operation and weren't a concern. So, now that you've reached a conclusion, you're already looking for a scapegoat?"
"Who the hell are you? Are you qualified to speak here?"
"I'm the Colonel Inspection Director of the Mountain City Garrison Command. Why, you're so powerful, don't you even allow people to speak?"
Well, in addition to being the director of the secretariat, Shen Xing also serves as the director of the audit department. He doesn't usually go to work there, but it's just for the convenience of promotion.
However, with this title, he is also considered a military man. A colonel is naturally not prominent in front of this room full of generals, but he is only one step away from major general, and the Inspection Office has a special status, so it is not considered an act of usurpation for him to speak out.
Someone stepped forward to act as a peacemaker, but his words were veiled in venom.
"Alright, alright, Director Dai is incredibly busy, handling countless pieces of information. He's made significant contributions to the war effort. You and I are colleagues, so don't fire him just yet. I think Director Dai is confident and probably already has a plan. By the way, didn't the General Director issue a handwritten order a few days ago, asking Director Dai to focus on investigating the situation in southern Shanxi? Military Control Commission staff are spread all over the country, so they must have already gathered information."
Boss Dai was so angry!
Shen Xing looked at him, as if to ask him to hand over the information about Jinnan Station.
Boss Dai was also struggling in his heart.
The intelligence from Jinnan Station indicated that they would attack from the eastern front. Should we report this intelligence to the military?
He really had no idea.
If it is correct, it would naturally be a great achievement.
But in this battle, the Japanese deployed more than 100,000 people, obviously determined to capture Zhongtiao Mountain. If the battle was lost and he provided wrong information, he would be in an irretrievable situation.
There was no expression on his face, but he was struggling fiercely inside.
When everyone saw this, they were like, wow, there’s no bottom!
Someone sarcastically said, "We're all so anxious about the war, but I didn't expect Director Dai to be able to sit here and do nothing. Yes, whether the war goes well or not, it won't affect the expansion of the Military Control Commission, let alone its financial success!"
Boss Dai still didn't say anything.
Everyone had different thoughts. The big bosses in the army were naturally not afraid of Boss Dai, but there were also many young people in the military office. They watched the big bosses besiege Boss Dai, but Boss Dai said nothing.
If Boss Dai can't produce anything real this time, he will definitely be used as a scapegoat.
Is it possible to give these senior generals a hard time and gain promotion by beating the enemy when he is down?
Some people think so in their hearts, while others have already done it directly.
A young man stood up and said righteously, "I've been in the Military Senate and have long heard that the Military Control Commission is powerful. Not only are they trading in supplies, but even on the Yunnan-Burma Road, at least three out of ten trucks belong to the Military Control Commission. You handle so much supplies, shouldn't you contribute to the war in Zhongtiao? Since you can't provide intelligence, then donate money and supplies. It's better than just sitting there doing nothing!"
The Military Senate is an advisory body and also a place for reserving senior military officers. In fact, the people here all have impressive resumes but are only good at talking big. After all, officers are being eliminated one after another, and those who are really capable have gone to the front line.
The young man who stood up to speak had studied abroad and was very ambitious. Seeing that everyone was attacking Boss Dai, he naturally did not want to be left behind. What if he was noticed by some big boss in the military? Maybe he could be transferred from the Military Senate to a more core department?
Boss Dai remained expressionless, but Shen Xing slammed the table and stood up. "Nonsense! What are you talking about? Ten or eight trucks? Have you counted them? You're being so arrogant. May I ask what good plan you have for the Zhongtiao War?"
The man looked pleased. "I've returned from studying in Europe and have some experience in military affairs. Since Colonel Shen asked me to speak, I'll say it. The Japanese army is gathering a large force to invade Zhongtiao Mountain. Why don't we use the strategy of besieging Wei to save Zhao? Order the troops in Luocheng to march north and directly attack southern Hebei. At the same time, the defenders in Jiangcheng will switch from defense to offense..."
Shen Xing laughed, "Okay, okay, why don't you lead the troops to Tokyo!"
At this moment, an officer with the rank of Major General stood up and said, "Enough of the idle chatter, Director Dai. I just want to ask you one question: do we have any intelligence on Jinnan?"
Before this, when other people spoke, Boss Dai simply ignored them. But when this person spoke, a cautious expression appeared on Boss Dai's face for the first time.
Because this person is a general of the Air Force, and the Air Force is Zhou Baifu's territory, and Zhou Baifu is a core member of the Civil Engineering Department and a loyal subordinate of Chen Dexin.
The conflict between Boss Dai and Chen Dexin is well known to everyone. Logically speaking, although Boss Dai is extremely powerful and awe-inspiring, he is still not enough in front of veteran Chen Dexin. The two of them are like water and fire, and the fight is hard to resolve. This is not unrelated to the fact that Commander He secretly supports Boss Dai.
Old Dai finally spoke, "The Jinnan intelligence matter is of great importance. We have already made some progress and are working hard to identify it."
The officer sneered, "So it's still gone?"
At this moment, the door of the conference room was kicked open with a bang.
Everyone was shocked. Who was so bold as to break into the meeting room?
A little girl, holding a telegram paper in her hand, shouted, "Commander, a telegram from the north!"
Boss Dai stood up suddenly and took it to look at it without paying attention to the surprised looks of others.
When I saw that it was not a golden Buddha, my heart sank at first, but after browsing two lines, I became excited!
One officer was furious and was about to reprimand her, but was stopped by someone nearby. "Don't say anything. You don't know who this girl is. Her father is..."
