Chapter 154 I am Jin Moran, a reporter from the Central News Agency
Song Wenwan handed over the affairs at the airport to Political Commissar Mo, who was in charge of them.
In order to show his importance, he took his ninth brother and Suo Wuxing to welcome the distinguished guests from the capital.
Now the three of them have become the three major military and political giants in the Gannan region. This lineup is still strong enough.
Those who came to Longnan this time included not only people from the Military Affairs Department, but also some reporters and representatives from all walks of life.
They also came with their overseas Chinese delegation to visit the military and political construction in Longnan.
Of course, before the delegation arrived, Gannan only had one cavalry division and two infantry columns left.
He hid all the other troops. After all, when it is time to restrain one's edge, one should restrain oneself.
However, at the welcome party held by Song Wenwan, a reporter still asked him this question.
“Hello, I’m Jin Mo-ran, a reporter from JoongAng Ilbo.
May I ask if you still have 60,000 elite troops, including cavalry and infantry, left in Gannan?
Why not take them all to the front line of the war of resistance?"
Song Wenwan: Damn it, your sixth brother from the Military Control Commission, why don’t you go to Shanghai to play?
The Japanese Special High Section is so interesting, why did they come to Gannan to fight me?
Song Wenwan said: "What we are doing now is only modern warfare, and cavalry will withdraw from the stage of war sooner or later.
Faced with the advent of artillery and automatic weapons, the role of cavalry will become increasingly smaller.
Now they can only be used as mounted infantry for long-distance mobile forces.
Therefore, in our Gannan battle sequence, only the First Cavalry Division was retained.
It was used to suppress bandits and clear the ground in Gansu Province."
Song Wenwan smiled and said, "As for my mere 40,000 infantrymen, Mr. Jin, please don't worry about your editor-in-chief.
That is my provincial defense force, which is responsible for handling military affairs within the province."
“Hello, General Song, I am Zhao Zhenhua, a reporter from Xinhua News Agency.
We all know that you are a famous general in the anti-Japanese war, and we admire your record in fighting against Japan.
Through interviews after arriving in Longnan, we know that the Gansu Army in the province now has strong military strength.
There are also security corps stationed in various counties, with approximately 30,000 soldiers.
I wonder if your provincial defense troops are still necessary?"
Song Wenwan smiled and said, "Are you trying to ask me who the provincial defense soldiers in Gannan are defending against?"
With a "boo", a low laugh came from below.
Who are they guarding against? Of course, they are guarding against northern Shaanxi.
Everyone knows clearly what the attitude of the higher-ups is towards northern Shaanxi and what they have done to it.
Even Mr. Chen, the overseas Chinese representative from Singapore, had heard a lot about it.
Song Wenwan spread his hands and said, "In order to prevent the Japanese army from following the old path of the Mongols to destroy the Song Dynasty, they will invade Sichuan from the northwest.
There are three lines of defense here, and the Yellow River is the first line of defense.
Shaanxi is the second line of defense, and our Gansu is the third line of defense for Shaanxi.
I still think it's not enough to put only 70,000 people on such a vast defense line!"
Looking at the Xinhua News Agency reporter with an angry face, Song Wenwan could only say sorry in her heart.
In fact, this situation is very simple. It is another test made by the headquarters of the temporary capital on Song Wenwan's political inclinations.
Zheng Yaoxian was ordered by the newly established Military Control Commission to disguise himself as a reporter and go to Gansu to test the waters.
At the same time, he also received an order from Yan'an, asking him to seize the opportunity to muddy the waters and help Song Wenwan pass the test by asking questions at the welcome party.
As for Song Wenwan, by asking this question, he implied that he was ordered to guard northern Shaanxi.
It also helped the First Army in Xi'an to break out of siege, and explained why there were so many troops stationed in Xi'an.
The only person who was wronged was the reporter from our newspaper, because he was the only one who didn't know the truth.
News about Song Wenwan's performance today was reported back to the temporary capital through the Military Control Commission and the Military Affairs Bureau.
Song Wenwan's statement won the satisfaction of the superiors, and also made them feel that Song Wenwan's speech made sense.
The higher-ups asked the Minister of Military Affairs to pass the message to Song Wenwan.
It is said that 70,000 troops on the Gansu defense line are too few, and at least about 100,000 regular troops are needed.
It was used to prevent the Japanese army from threatening the rear security of the temporary capital after breaking through the Yellow River and Shaanxi defense lines.
After the meeting, Song Wenwan specially arranged a dance party for everyone to relax.
The military commander was chatting with Representative Chen when he saw Song Wenwan walking towards them. Representative Chen thought that Song Wenwan was still young, so he should remind him.
Representative Chen said calmly: "General Song, I think your place is no different from the secondary capital. It's just as peaceful and prosperous as before!"
Song Wenwan smiled and said, "Representative Chen, if my place is different from yours, do you know what it counts as?"
Representative Chen didn't expect him to ask this, but he didn't know the answer either, so he looked at the Minister of Military Affairs helplessly.
The Chief of Military Affairs said lightly: "What's that? Of course it's collusion with the Communists! Hahahaha..."
The Chief of Military Affairs and Song Wenwan laughed together, but the Chief of Military Affairs laughed until tears came out.
Representative Chen understood, but he didn't fully understand.
Does it mean that living a simple and frugal life is what being a Communist means, while singing and dancing, eating and drinking lavishly, are the traits that make one a loyal minister of the party-state?
Just as they were talking in low voices, they suddenly smelled a fragrant breeze.
A young woman wearing a cheongsam and with a curvy figure walked towards them.
After coming up to them, the woman shook the big waves on her head, revealing a delicate face.
She said to the three people in a playful manner: "Mr. Minister, Mr. Chen, can you give General Song to me?
I would like to invite our anti-Japanese heroes to dance with me."
The Minister of Military Affairs and Mr. Chen, an overseas Chinese, were not very familiar with this woman.
It was Song Wenwan who broke the deadlock first. He asked, "My beautiful lady, may I ask who you are...?"
The woman said shyly: "I'm sorry, General Song, I was presumptuous today.
I am a life reporter for the Central News Agency, my name is Liu Ruyan. "
Song Wenwan took a deep breath, as if she was mesmerized by the scent of perfume on the female reporter.
It's Liu Ruyan! This is a name that can't be more green tea!
But Song Wenwan narrowed her eyes and said, "Liu Ruyan? Like smoke and dreams, what a beautiful name."
After saying that, he stretched out his right hand, took Liu Ruyan's hand, and walked towards the dance floor.
Representative Chen was about to stop Song Wenwan and persuade him to pay attention to his image.
But when he thought of what Song Wenwan had just said, he withdrew his hand.
Alas, Commander Song is right. If he does not lust after beauty, can he still be considered a soldier of the Party and the country?
Before he had taken a few steps, he ran into Zheng Yaoxian who was watching at the edge of the dance floor.
Song Wenwan spoke to Zheng Yaoxian in a rather provocative tone.
"Mr. Jin Moran, it was reporter Liu from your newspaper who asked me to dance first.
It seems that today, I, Song Wenwan, will take the lead."
When Liu Ruyan heard the hidden meaning in Song Wenwan's words, she couldn't help but shyly patted Song Wenwan's arm.
She said in a shy voice: "General Song, I don't know him well!"
These words were so powerful that Song Wenwan got goosebumps after hearing them.
Everyone knows that Song Wenwan and reporter Jin had just had a conflict at the meeting.
I wonder what kind of violent reaction this reporter from the Central News Agency, Kim, will have.
