The formation of the sixth branch is complicated, but fortunately, it is slowly moving forward step by step.

Time flies quickly.

In the blink of an eye, it's September.

On the Taiyuan side, the commander of the First Army of the Japanese Army, Umezu Mijiro, was transferred and left.

Yoshio Shinozuka takes over.

This news made Chen Xiu breathe a sigh of relief.

In this way, there may be a relatively big change in the top level of the First Army. His previous trip to Taiyuan has also come to an end for the time being.

The internal combustion engine, produced, has an energy efficiency utilization rate of about 25%, which is quite a high indicator in this era.

The production of the internal combustion engine took several months in the third plant, but fortunately, it was fruitful and gratifying.

On that day, many people cried because they finally had their own internal combustion engine.

"I didn't think of it! It really happened! Whining! Zhang Baoling is the director of the third branch factory, the general person in charge of this project, and he cried like a child that day.

Chen Xiu looked at everyone with red eyes, and he felt uncomfortable in his heart, who could understand that kind of joy?

"Katsumi, thank you so much! Without your input, the internal combustion engine wouldn't have come out so quickly! Wang Shou patted Chen Xiu's shoulder and spoke.

"It's the result of everyone's efforts." Chen Xiu smiled, with the internal combustion engine, then the power system is there, whether it is a car, a warship, or a fighter...... There is hope.

"Deployment of production lines?"

"Well, we'll start building the production line right away." Chen Xiu nodded, "Strive for streamlined production." And then it's used in cars, or whatever. ”

Wang Shoujing narrowed his eyes, he knew that the chief engineer of the German fighter had just arrived.

It is also known that Germany took Poland.

"Okay, I'll hurry up here."

"Okay."

Chen Xiu exhaled, months of hard work finally came to fruition, which made him very grateful to this group of people.

An energy efficiency utilization rate of 25% is already quite a high target.

In this way, as long as the test continues, if there are no problems, the internal combustion engine can be put into production and used in various automobiles and combat vehicles.

The problem of the powertrain, almost universal.

After this, the third branch will transfer some people to the sixth branch to carry out the research and development of fighters.

In short, everything is going in a good direction.

……

Taiyuan.

"Shinozuka-kun, the situation in Taiyuan, as I just said, is very complicated." Umezu Mijiro looked at his successor, "I think we can still send someone to contact Yan Xishan and try to persuade him to join our Great Japanese Empire." After all, he was an old acquaintance of many of us. ”

"I know." Yoshio Shinozuka nodded, "Anything else?" ”

"The Eighth Route Army in the northwest of Shanxi is very difficult." Umezu Mijiro frowned, "They continue to receive support weapons from the base in Liuba County, and recently, according to reports from the front, some troops in the northwest of Shanxi Province have even more firepower than ours. ”

"Oh?"

"According to the intelligence, it is a semi-automatic rifle produced at the base in Liuba County, which is said to be a galand rifle imitating the United States, which has also caused us some trouble."

"But behind this, the biggest trouble is actually the base in Liuba County."

"According to intelligence, there are now close to 8,000 soldiers at the base in Liuba County."

"Eight thousand soldiers?"

"Hi. Of these, five thousand are the base's escort regiments. The rest is the Reclamation Regiment. Umezu Mijiro frowned, "Although the people from the base in Liuba County have not sent troops, I dare to guarantee that once they send troops and go to the battlefield, they will definitely become our strong opponents." ”

"Is that so?"

"Hmm. In the past few months, I have continued to infiltrate the base in Liuba County, but I have not achieved much results. There is still no way to obtain information on some medicines...... Indeed, I am ashamed of His Majesty the Emperor. ”

"Your Excellency General, this should be that the people of China are too cunning." Yoshio Shinozuka spoke, "But, then, I'll pay attention." If it doesn't work, I'll send fighter planes to bomb it. ”

"Well, that's all there is to it." Umezu Mijiro sighed, "Anyway, I'll leave everything to you." ”

"It's all for His Majesty the Emperor!"

Watching Umezu Mijiro get into the car and stay away from Taiyuan City, Yoshio Shinozuka squinted his eyes, although many things have been explained before, but these three points are probably the most unbearable for Umezu Mijiro.

Liuba County base?

"Someone."

"Hey!"

"Let the captain of the gendarmerie come to me."

"Hey!"

……

"Commander! Jinchuan Taijun is here again. ”

Yan Xishan narrowed his eyes, "Didn't you let him go back?" ”

"Yes, but he's here again, and he's asking to see you."

"Take it to the parlor."

"Yes!"

Putting down the cup in his hand, Yan Xishan closed his eyes and exhaled a long breath, since most of Shanxi fell, he, the king of Shanxi, had no real power.

The army's salaries can only be controlled by the central government.

The Japanese also came to test him again and again.

You must know that at the end of last year, Wang Jingwei left Chongqing, and also issued the third statement of Yandian in response to Konoe on December 29 last year, which caused an uproar.

At this time, the ruling group within the national army also began to split.

There is the Lord and the One.

There are main combatants.

The Lord and the Peacemaker are considered traitors and traitors.

Yan Xishan also discussed with his subordinates more than once about the possibility of compromise with Japan.

But it has been pushed back more than once.

The more he resisted Japan, the more difficult it became, and the money in his hand became less and less, and if this continued, the army could not afford to support it. Without Shanxi's finances, he really can't afford to raise an army!

But fortunately, the low-cost weapons at the base in Liuba County still gave him some confidence, and at the front line, the Japanese at least did not take any advantage. That's a good bargaining chip for him.

Gather your thoughts, stand up, and head to the living room.

……

Chen Xiu, naturally, also paid attention to some major events. Wang Jingwei's departure reminded him that soon, Wang's puppet government would be established in Nanjing, and it would be a few months away.

But these are too far for him.

"Brother Tianhu, how is it?"

"There is some suspicion." Han Tianhu looked at Chen Xiu, "But there is no definite evidence, if you arrest people at will......"

Chen Xiu frowned and was slightly silent, "It will make the workers panic." ”

"Hmm. This time, the Japanese are very shrewd, and they directly mixed in a lot of spies, and moreover, in various capacities, they want us to mess with ourselves! Cause your own panic! ”

"It's indeed ......" Chen Xiu closed his eyes, spy war! He stayed at the base in Ba County, and now there are many Japanese spies, although there are suspects, but there is no conclusive evidence, and they can't catch them, so they have to send people to continue to watch.

Suddenly, there was a buzzing sound in my ears.

Chen Xiu raised his head, "This is!" Devil's fighter! ”

"I'll tell everyone to hide quickly!" Han Tianhu also ran out at once!
