"Alright then! Then let's talk about the conditions!"
"First, our National Defense Force's name must be retained. We will still be a force directly under the Military and Political Council."”
"This is not a problem at all!"
"Division Commander Xu's National Defense Force has always been a secret force directly under the Military and Political Council. It's also China's trump card force. This has long been publicly acknowledged, so there's naturally no need to say anything more."”
Dai Li had already obtained Old Jiang's agreement on this point, so he naturally agreed very readily.
"Don't worry! Let me finish."
Xu Rui smiled and said," But our National Defense Force will still be independent. The Military and Political Council and even Old Jiang are not allowed to interfere in any affairs of the National Defense Force in the future.”
"In other words, now and in the future, I have the final say in all military affairs of the National Defense Force. No one has the right to interfere.”
"To make it clear, we are only under the jurisdiction of the Military and Political Council in name.”
"This…"
Dai Li couldn't help but frown. He said with some difficulty,"Division Commander Xu, this request is a little too much! In China, any army would be under the jurisdiction of the Military and Political Council, and Wei Zuan was the highest leader in the country.”
Xu Rui smiled and said," Don't be in a hurry to refuse. If the Eighth Route can maintain its independence, so can we." This isn't unprecedented, so my request isn't too much.”
"And I'm not denying that Old Jiang is the supreme commander of China. It's just that since he's the supreme commander, there's no need for him to interfere in specific matters.”
"Take note of it first. Go and ask Old Jiang for instructions later!”
"This is only the first condition."
Dai Li's frown deepened. Only now did he realize how difficult this mission was.
"Division Commander Xu, if you have any other requests, why don't you say them out loud?”
Xu Rui continued," The second condition is much simpler. The Military and Political Council needs to pay our National Defense Force two million dollars a month as military pay! And before we arrive at Jinling, we have to pay at least three months of military pay in advance.”
Dai Li couldn't help but be speechless. F * ck! This was too shameless!
Although this condition wasn't too much, it was too much when compared to the first condition.
You didn't obey the central government's jurisdiction and even asked the central government to pay you!
This was like disobeying the company's management and asking the company to give you a high salary. How could there be such a good thing in the world?
Shameless! How shameless!
"This…we can discuss it again!" Dai Li said with a bitter smile.”
"The third point is also a very important point.”
"I request to take over the position of commander of the Jinling garrison. All the Chinese troops near Jinling must obey my command unconditionally.”
"And I also request to be elected as a member of the Military Committee. This is in line with my status.”
Only by becoming the commander of the Jinling garrison could he not be restrained. Only by obtaining absolute command could they guarantee the overall victory of the defense of Jinling.
As the highest military organization in China, the Military Committee had a chairman and committee members.
Becoming a committee member was basically below one person and above tens of thousands of people. This way, Xu Rui could also fight for more say and have enough status. It would also be greatly beneficial to Xu Rui's future development.
"This condition is too harsh!”
"Commander Tang of the Jinling Garrison Command has done nothing wrong, so how can he be replaced so easily?" Dai Li said with a troubled expression.”
"There's no mistake. Losing our troops, losing our land, losing our land, and losing our land repeatedly, isn't that a mistake?”Xu Rui sneered.
Dai Li was momentarily speechless. After a moment of silence, he said,"Also…please forgive me for being blunt. Although Division Commander Xu has outstanding military achievements, he lacks prestige and qualifications. I'm afraid it'll be difficult for him to convince the masses!”
"If there's anyone who can do better than me, I'm willing to give up." Xu Rui sneered. The question is, who has the ability?"
"To put it bluntly, only I can protect Jinling now!”
"But Division Commander Xu's conditions are too harsh!" Dai Li said with a troubled expression. The members of the Military and Political Council are all seniors who have great prestige in the military and political circles. I don't doubt Division Commander Xu's ability, but Division Commander Xu's qualifications are too shallow. I'm afraid…"
"Can you beat the Japanese away with your experience?" Xu Rui sneered. The reason why the country had fallen to such a state was because these people only cared about their own personal interests and ignored the national righteousness.”
"As the saying goes, those in their positions plan their own policies. These people are only in their positions and do not plan their own policies. Now that the country has fallen to this state, it is all their fault.”
"If they still have a shred of shame, they should abdicate and give way to the wise, instead of talking to me about qualifications.”
"This…"
Although Dai Li was somewhat dissatisfied with Xu Rui's harsh conditions, he somewhat agreed with these words.
Dai Li was also extremely dissatisfied with this practice of seniority. In terms of ability, he was much stronger than some people who had no status. With his ability, Dai Li should have obtained a higher position.
But facing Xu Rui, Dai Li naturally wouldn't speak his true thoughts.
Xu Rui didn't give Dai Li a chance to speak either, directly waving his hand to interrupt Dai Li.
"You don't have to be troubled! I know you can't make the decision. Hurry up and ask Old Jiang!”
"Tell Old Jiang that I only have these few conditions, and I will never change them. Don't even think about bargaining with me.”
"Division Commander Xu!"
"Send the guests out!"
"Mr. Dai, please!"
Please urge me to change.
