    Regarding the specific content of this military meeting, the previous notice did not explain it. However, commanders at all levels also roughly guessed the purpose of the division commander's military meeting, fearing that he would attack the rioters in Indochina.  For more exciting novels, please go to .

    On March 11, commanders at all levels rushed to Yangon. Also arriving at the same time were the commanders of city garrisons from various places. Except for the commanders from the surrounding areas of Vientiane, they were not in this group. Others, including Dai Li Yangon,  However, they did not come to attend a military meeting. Instead, according to the division commander's order, they were escorted back to the division headquarters to await processing.

    The commanders at all levels who participated in the meeting were taken to the division headquarters by car as soon as they arrived in Yangon. The officers who were escorted did not receive such good treatment. They were detained in a high-end villa and could roam freely in the yard.  They could move around, but they couldn't leave the yard. The guards guarding them turned out to be soldiers from the division's security brigade.

    These soldiers are registered in the ** division, and their combat effectiveness is not to mention. Except for the orders of the division commander and their captain Huang Shanhu, not even the deputy division commanders and chief of staff can command them.  He is famous for not recognizing his relatives.

    These officers who were held in solitary confinement had a lot on their minds. Most of them felt aggrieved. On the way to Yangon, whether by plane or car, there was no big difference. The officer responsible for escorting them,  Most of them were old acquaintances, and they looked down without looking up. They were too embarrassed to embarrass these brothers who had made mistakes. They were neither handcuffed nor restricted in their personal freedom.

    But when we arrived in Yangon, the difference was immediately apparent. They were picked up by small cars, but we were packed into large trucks and brought here. Can we balance our minds?  Not only is it unbalanced, there is even a little bit of anger.

    In fact, many officers do not have a clear awareness in their hearts.  What kind of mistake did I make? There was no warning about the riot, so I was caught off guard.  Furthermore, there was no order from the division headquarters to shoot and suppress civilians. If a bloody tragedy resulted, who would be responsible?

    Although the division headquarters later issued an order, there was no clear order to shoot and suppress, and all actions were subject to command.  Is this wrong?  Why did the teacher put this debt on us?

    This is the only reason why Tang Qiuli cannot forgive these garrison commanders who are responsible for the security of the city. In a word, they do not act. As the top military commander of a city, to a large extent, he has the authority to make independent decisions.  power.  For more exciting novels, please go there. Riots broke out, and you watched the thugs slaughter Chinese and overseas Chinese and destroy the city wantonly.  He didn't know how to stop it with force, but just waited for orders from his superiors.

    To put it nicely, it means obeying the orders of superiors. To put it badly, it means acting carelessly, not acting, avoiding responsibilities, and even more afraid of taking responsibility. To put it more deeply, it is afraid of getting blood on one's hands, and being suspected of protecting one's own safety and seeking reputation.  All this.  According to the trend of the riots becoming more and more intense, if they were violently suppressed at the beginning, Tang Qiuli's subsequent actions of mobilizing field troops and stationing in various cities would not be possible.

    Those officers who attended the meeting.  On the 11th, there was no meeting scheduled, but a group visit. The exhibition of pictures and records of the riots in Indochina was jointly organized by the Investigation Division and the Intelligence Division. Various photos were posted all over several rooms. In the words of division commander Tang Qiuli, "  Let the officers participating in the meeting have an intuitive and rational understanding, and let them see what kind of atrocities have occurred in other places besides the areas they are responsible for! "

    On March 12, the military meeting was officially held. Generals and officers entered the venue in neat formations according to their respective organizational systems. Thousands of people filled the division headquarters auditorium, and the gold and silver stars reflected each other.

    On the rostrum, division commander Tang Qiuli and deputy division commander Tang Qiusheng were sitting, which seemed very empty. The other corps commanders and heads of departments directly under the division headquarters were all below. Chang Feng, the former chief of staff who had resigned, and the current  Chief of Staff Zhao Yuhe sat together, causing a burst of whispers among the officers.

    Although only a few personnel were involved in the small-scale adjustment of the division headquarters, the position of the division chief of staff was quite sensitive and he was one of the core figures in the division command system. This sudden change of generals caused various corps to  There are many speculations internally. Everyone does not know the reason for the transfer of Chief of Staff Chang Feng. They only briefly mentioned it in the division headquarters' report, but is the reason really that simple?

    The meeting was chaired by Deputy Division Commander Tang Qiusheng. No one expected that the first item of the meeting would be Tang Qiusheng¡¯s review!

    Even Tang Qiuli was surprised. Brother Qiu Sheng was not ventilated beforehand. After he entered Yangon, he briefly exchanged opinions with Brother Qiu Sheng and handed over the command of the Sulu Mobile Corps to him. Brother Qiu Sheng at that time  He acted very calmly, just smiled kindly and didn't say anything. But now, he suddenly wants to examine himself?

      Tang Qiuli was about to stop him. From the bottom of his heart, he didn't want Brother Qiu Sheng, who had always supported him and assumed all the trivial responsibilities for him, to lose his prestige in front of officers at all levels. Moreover, Brother Qiu Sheng's mistakes  It has not reached the level of self-examination on the spot.

    Tang Qiusheng waved his hand firmly and said to Tang Qiuli: "Commander, I must say that as the acting division commander, the highest commander of the ** Division in Indochina has many mishandlings of the riots.  Someone has to be responsible for this, and that person is me!¡±

    Tang Qiuli was silent. The officers below, including Feng Jiwu and several other corps commanders, did not dare to breathe. Only Tang Qiusheng's still calm and gentle voice echoed in the venue. The main point of his review was his poor command.  , failed to control the spread of the riot. He did not say that he was soft-hearted, but the meaning was revealed in his words.

    He finally said: "Everyone, no matter how high we sit, as long as we have made a mistake, we should say it frankly to our face. It will be beneficial to our future work. Therefore, for deputy division commander Tang Qiusheng, here  During the great riot in Indochina, we mishandled the situation and requested the division headquarters to impose corresponding sanctions!¡±

    The venue was silent for a few seconds, and then there was thunderous applause. All the officers stood up and expressed their most sincere respect for the broad-minded Deputy Commander Tang. Chang Feng was also very excited. He was impressed by Tang Qiusheng's charisma.  , the time the two of them worked together was no shorter than the time they spent with their teacher Tang Qiuli. He also knew that Tang Qiusheng's usual approach was to be strict with himself and to be lenient towards others.

    "However, this does not mean that I agree with and accept Tang Qiusheng's statement, agree with his character, and agree with his statement are two different things. If he changes his opinion just because of one word, then he is not Chang Feng.

    Tang Qiuli took the microphone and scanned the audience with awe-inspiring eyes. The officers immediately sat upright and looked at their division commander. Many people noticed that the division commander's cheeks had obviously lost a lot of weight. There was a hidden look in his eyes.  Constantly tired.

    Tang Qiuli said: "How many days did it take from the beginning of the riot to the time it subsided? Tell me!" The officers replied in unison: "Eight days!" Tang Qiuli suddenly raised his voice and asked again: "How many days did it take?  , I can¡¯t hear your answer!¡±

    The officers used all their strength and let go of their throats to shout: "Eight days have passed!" Tang Qiuli smiled and said: "Very good, everyone has not forgotten!"

    Just when the officers thought that the division commander would follow this topic and start the meeting, unexpectedly, Tang Qiuli said: "Next, Colonel Shen Jun, the director of the Investigation Division, will report the riots in Indochina to the Chinese, overseas Chinese and other  Ordinary citizens, the casualties and property damage caused! Also, the number of casualties among our troops during the process of quelling the riots!¡±

    Shen Jun took a thick file bag and walked up to the rostrum calmly. He took out a pile of information from the file bag and read quietly: "The great riot that swept the entire Indo-China Peninsula has affected the twenty-three  A major city, lasting 16 hours, after eight days of investigation and evidence collection by all agents of the Investigation Division and the Intelligence Division, the details are as follows. "

    "1. The number of Chinese and overseas Chinese casualties was 28,676, of which 10,835 were dead. The number of other civilian casualties was 16,723, of which,  There were 1,456 casualties, most of which were caused by mobs slashing, beating with sticks, pushing into fires and burning to death, as well as rape, rape, beheading and other violent acts."

    ¡°2. The industrial losses of Chinese and overseas Chinese are as follows: 5,236 shops, factories, and enterprises were robbed and burned; 6,574 residences were robbed and burned; the economic losses were equivalent to  Calculated into an ocean, it is more than 6.7 million yuan, and the damage to urban infrastructure is equivalent to an ocean, which is about 5.9 million yuan. "

    "3. Our ** Division troops dispatched to quell the rebellion this time consisted of three regiments, with a strength of more than 500,000 people. Among them, there were 637 casualties among officers and soldiers, including 168 killed in action.  The garrison troops in various places suffered casualties of 1,856, of which 869 were killed in the attack by thugs. The specific military expenses are still being calculated. "

    Shen Jun paused and then said: "The above are rough statistics. There are no specific statistics for the critically injured people who are still in the hospital and are not out of danger. Commander, everyone, I have finished reporting!"  , saluted Tang Qiuli and the officers in the audience, and walked off the stage with heavy steps.

    Shen Jun's heart was very heavy. It was one thing to look at these figures alone in the office, but it was another feeling to read them out in front of thousands of officers. He was the one who knew best the consequences of this riot.  The casualties and property losses, each and every figure, is a blood debt.Atrocities one after another!

    Every time a set of numbers was read out, Shen Jun's heart felt a sharp pain. Shen Jun had already stepped off the stage, but his heavy steps made everyone feel heavy. They were all commanders who participated in the counter-violence, and they also  After witnessing the actual situation with their own eyes, the numbers gathered together still greatly shocked the hearts of the officers.
