Quartermasters can also fight the devils

Chapter 316: Escape

Wang had no choice but to pretend to be satisfied in order to leave quickly and successfully. He explained to all the officials present that his trip to Hanoi was an important mission assigned by the government, and also thanked Long Yun for the warm hospitality.

After Wang finished his brief speech, Long Yun also took the lead in applauding with satisfaction. Now Long Yun was at ease, and no one could find any problems with this matter.

"Thank you for taking the time out of your busy schedule to give a speech to our officials in Diancheng. Your time is valuable, so we will not waste any more of your time. The plane has been refueled, and you can set off at any time." Long Yun was also satisfied and told Wang that you could leave.

After hearing that Long Yun was satisfied with his performance and was willing to let him go, Wang became excited. He felt so uncomfortable being coerced.

After all, he was the second-in-command of the government, but he was forced by this self-proclaimed king to speak and express his opinion, and he also had to look at the face of this old fox. It really made him feel embarrassed, but for the sake of his own grand ambitions, he endured it.

When boarding the plane, Wang turned around and waved cordially to the group of officials led by Long Yun with a smile on his face, and then turned around and entered the cabin.

When the plane started to taxi, Wang's face was gloomy. His wife Chen Bijun knew that her husband was very angry, so she whispered to him, "It's okay. A real man can bend and stretch. When you reach the highest peak in China in the future, you can manipulate this old wily guy Long Yun at will. Let him be proud for a while. No matter how cunning he is, he will still send us to Hanoi as you wish. We still win this matter."

After hearing what his wife said, Wang felt much calmer. Indeed, judging from the current situation, Long Yun did have the upper hand.

But judging from the final outcome of the matter, he had completely achieved his ultimate goal. From a long-term perspective, he could be said to have won a complete victory. He could even say that he had a good grasp of Long Yun's mind.

That's right, it seems that I have lost some face this time, but in fact it is a complete victory. Long Yun, you, an old fox, would never have thought that your behavior today would have released a giant dragon. One day in the future, you, an old fox, will definitely kneel in front of me and beg for mercy.

At 10:30 in the morning, Air Force Commander-in-Chief Zhou Zhirou, who had rushed back to Shancheng from Diancheng early in the morning, met with the top government officials in a hurry. He needed to report immediately on the construction of an airport in Diancheng and the training of pilots.

After Commander Zhou carefully reported on the planned airport and pilot training school in Diancheng, the top government leaders also expressed affirmation of Commander Zhou's work.

With the end of the Battle of Three Towns, all the pilots previously trained by the Chinese Air Force were lost. Now the government has called on many overseas Chinese children and domestic college students to join the Chinese Air Force that is being reorganized.

The pilots previously formed by the Soviet Union to aid China also lost many pilots while defending China's skies. Now, due to the tense situation in the north and Europe, the surviving Soviet pilots who aided China are being called back to the country to prepare for war. The current Chinese Air Force strength can be said to be unusually empty.

"Zhirou, I am very confident in your work. Commanding the Air Force is an important task entrusted to you by the government. You have done a great job and have lived up to my expectations. Thank you for your hard work in Diancheng this time. You have accomplished everything in less than a day. It seems that the journey has been smooth." The top government officials also took a rare break to relax.

Since the end of the Battle of Three Towns, public opinion has accused the government of failing to resist the war and suffering successive losses of troops and territory. There have also been many voices of passive surrender within the government, which has made the top government leaders very angry.

"The journey was indeed very smooth this time. When I arrived in Diancheng, Long Yun specially arranged a special car and government personnel for me, so things went very smoothly." Zhou Zhirou also explained the reason according to the words of the highest level of government.

When the top government officials heard what Zhou Zhirou said, they asked curiously, "Long Yun? Did he go to the airport to pick you up?" The top government officials were also very puzzled. They knew Long Yun too well. How could he go to the airport to pick up Zhou Zhirou in person? This didn't make sense.

"No, I was lucky this time. I arrived in Diancheng on the same plane as Wang and his wife. Long Yun brought people to the airport to greet Wang. I took advantage of Wang." Zhou Zhirou also told the actual situation to the highest level of the government.

When the top government officials heard that Wang had taken his family to Diancheng, they felt something was wrong. They had set the rules themselves that if core government personnel wanted to leave the mountain city, they had to get their approval, but they seemed to have not received any notification that Wang was going to Diancheng.

The highest level of the government immediately called the Guard Office to check what was going on with Wang and why he left the mountain city without reporting to them.

The guard room was very efficient and reported the investigation results to the highest level of government in less than 30 minutes. Wang left the mountain city without making any report, and no one in the government received any notification from him.

The top government leaders were also angry now. It was obvious that Wang had been prepared for this matter in advance. So the top government leaders sent an urgent telegram to Long Yun, asking Long Yun to keep an eye on Wang and not let Wang go anywhere else.

But Long Yun's reply shocked the highest level of the government. Long Yun called back to say that Wang told him that he was ordered by the government to secretly go to Hanoi, Vietnam to do business, and that he had already taken a plane to Hanoi at 8 o'clock this morning.

The top government officials finally understood that Wang had escaped. Where had he gone? It was obvious that he had surrendered to the Japanese.

As soon as the top government leaders combined this with the new policy toward China that the Japanese government had just announced a few days ago, they immediately realized that Wang must have already established contact with the Japanese a long time ago, and probably had already negotiated all the terms in private.

The top government officials were really angry now. The previous war was already extremely difficult, and the second-in-command of the government actually surrendered to the Japanese. This was a huge blow to the morale of the army and the people.

This will also provide those who criticize the government every day for its poor performance in the war of resistance with a better point of criticism, and the government's image and reputation will plummet.

The highest level of the government also quickly summoned all its key confidants to a meeting. It was imperative that they had a good response plan after Wang took action.

The top government leaders knew they could not lose this battle.
