Chapter 461: Betraying the Country Out of Jealousy
Director Zou was so angry that he said angrily:
"If you can open up the joints, so can this director. Humph!"
He didn't even come in for class and just turned away angrily.
"How ridiculous!"
Song Xi sneered.
"Sister Xi! Help me with something."
Xiang Chu said anxiously, writing a note and handing it to Song Xi.
Song Xi took the note, took a look at it, then turned and walked out of the meeting room.
Soon, the meeting time was up and everyone took their seats.
The blackboard in the conference room was already filled with words written by Xiang Chu.
It seemed like a serious class, and the senior officials were not used to it.
There have been quite a few lectures recently, but most of the lecturers just sit down and talk incessantly and eloquently on the stage, while the senior officials below the stage snore and sleep so soundly that they are almost talking in their sleep.
This is the first time I have seen someone giving lectures like Xiang Chu.
Chen Guo inherited Chen Fu's position and prejudice against Xiang Chu, and deliberately said in a sarcastic tone: "It's just a simple class, and it's tiring to fill the blackboard."
The blackboard is full of data, namely the current inventory of resources, weapons and ammunition of both sides.
There are also the current number of troops, the attitudes of various countries towards the enemy and ourselves, the balance of power, etc.
Minister Chen praised: "Just looking at this blackboard information has benefited me a lot."
Minister He laughed and said, "It's all hard information. It's incredible."
Minister Bai glanced at Chen Guo and said loudly, "Mr. Chu! Just write it. We are more than happy to have you."
"No need to write anymore! This data is definitely enough for a whole class."
Xiang Chu laughed heartily, stopped writing and turned around.
He picked up the pointer and began to teach by referring to the blackboard:
"Everyone! The topic of today's lecture is how to grasp the lifeline of war. Our lifeline is unity, fighting to the death, and protracted warfare, while the enemy's lifeline is to obtain and plunder resources, induce surrender and nibble away...
The enemy's most critical material is oil, of which there are only 1800 million tons left. Without oil, their ships, planes, tanks, and artillery cannot move...
America has morally cut off its supply, and the enemy is frantically searching for oil in our country. It is imperative to prevent them from finding oil...
While frontal confrontation is important, fighting behind enemy lines cannot be ignored. Since the enemy has come in, we might as well let them go deep inside and attack them from behind..."
Xiang Chu spoke eloquently, involving a large amount of information and new ideas. His speech was very novel and fascinating, and the opposition did not know how to refute it.
As everyone was listening with great interest, Xiang Chu stopped talking and put down his teaching stick, saying with a smile: "Everyone! I'm done."
Chen Guo deliberately made things difficult: "Mr. Chu! It is undeniable that you speak very well, but the Chu Mansion is an intelligence agency. You should tell us more about the important intelligence we have at the moment."
"it is good!"
Xiang Chu nodded happily, took out a piece of paper and read, "The devils will break the canal levee in northern Jiangsu, and northern Jiangsu will become a swamp. The devil's five-minister meeting decided to mobilize the whole country to intensify the war of aggression against China.
The Japs will use poison gas bombs to attack the Ma'an Fortress. Hukou has been lost. Radio communications between China and the United States will be restored..."
Everyone was stunned. The intelligence was so thorough that no other intelligence agency could match it.
Minister Chen hurriedly said, "Mr. Chu! Please tell me about the Battle of Wuhan."
Xiang Chu nodded and said, "Wuhan's geographical location is extremely important, but the Japanese attack from land, sea and air, so it is difficult to defend.
The focus should be on killing the enemy's manpower as much as possible and moving the supplies from the three towns of Wuhan as soon as possible. If they cannot be moved away, they should be destroyed or burned down. In any case, they should not be left to the enemy who are extremely short of resources.
Even if the devils occupied Wuhan, they would be short of manpower, and the Sino-Japanese War would see a new turning point...”
The opponents shouted angrily:
"That's nonsense!"
“There’s no turning point!”
“We can’t lose Wuhan again!”
"China has never feared foreign invasion, but only feared traitors from within. Alas!"
Xiang Chu sighed, picked up the cup and briefcase, and was about to end the lecture early.
Ning Changde thought to himself: "Xiao Xiang! You will offend a lot of people with this."
Minister Chen looked at his watch and said hurriedly, "Mr. Chu! The lecture will end in half an hour. Please tell us more about the enemy's troop deployment."
At this time, Song Xi rushed in, handed a telegram to Xiang Chu, and shouted:
"Commanders! The Japanese planes are about to launch an air raid. Hurry and get into the air-raid shelter."
When the leaders heard this, they immediately left the meeting room, and more than half of them left in an instant.
Minister Chen hadn't heard enough, so he stood up and sighed:
"Alas! The air raid alarm has not been issued yet. We should let Mr. Chu talk about it again."
Minister He also said: "Mr. Chu! You should refute the opponents."
Xiang Chu walked down from the podium and showed the telegram to them. He said softly, "Two ministers! A Japanese plane came to attack and bombed our conference room with precision."
"what?!"
Ministers Chen and He were stunned.
Minister Chen glanced at the telegram and asked in confusion: "Boy! How did you get such accurate intelligence?"
Xiang Chu put away the telegram and whispered, "Two ministers! You don't need to worry about the source of my intelligence. You should quickly arrest the leaker and arrange air defense operations at the same time."
Minister He said angrily, "You are giving us orders. When the air defense alarm sounds, we will engage in air defense operations. What about the person who leaked the information? I will send someone to arrest him now."
Minister Chen sighed and said, "Alas! He betrayed his country out of jealousy."
At this time, the air raid sirens sounded outside.
"Let's go! The Japanese bombers will be here in five minutes."
Xiang Chu smiled bitterly and pulled Song Xi towards the air-raid shelter.
Minister Chen shook his head and said, "This kid slipped away really fast!"
Minister He said angrily, "Old Chen! Let's hide for now. Then send someone to arrest that Zou guy. I've already noticed something's wrong with him."
Minister Chen smiled bitterly and said, "Zou is so stupid! There are so many people in the class, but he still managed to slip away early to send a telegram to the devils."
Two minutes later, the roar of an airplane was heard in the air.
"Boom! Boom!"
Anti-aircraft fire began to blast fiercely into the air.
Some of our air force planes also took off in advance to fight.
The five Japanese bombers had a clear target and they headed straight for the Political Department building regardless of anything else.
"Boom! Boom!"
The bombs dropped by two Japanese bombers fell and exploded about 50 meters away from the Political Department building, causing a nearby building to collapse.
Under the interception of our fighter planes and anti-aircraft artillery, five sneak attacking Japanese bombers were shot down one after another, and the Political Department building was only slightly damaged.
Xiang Chu took Song Xi's hand and said with a smile:
"Sister Xi! Go home."
"Okay! Go home."
Song Xi nodded and accompanied him towards Chuxi Yaju.
She said thoughtfully: "Brother! You can't stay in Chongqing any longer."
"Indeed!"
Xiang Chu nodded and paused.
"If I stay any longer, I will really become Lord Chu, and the Shadow Agency will be completely gone."
When Song Xi thought of him leaving, she immediately hugged his arms tightly, feeling really reluctant to let him go.
