When all the polite words and scenes were finished, Lao Jiang pulled Liu Yun with a smile, went to his temporary residence, and discussed with Liu Xiang the major affairs of Chuankang and other places.

Lao Jiang was noncommittal, because Liu Xiang talked for a long time, and he didn't consider the interests of his Central Army at all, just how the Sichuan Army was, turned his head and motioned for Liu Yun to speak, Commander Liu didn't plan to speak, it is really the older the rivers and lakes, the less timid he is, and he already knows that "a thousand words are better than a thousand words".

However, since it was Lao Jiang who asked him to speak, Liu Yun was not easy to refuse, so he first greeted Liu Xiang, one was to ask for advice, the other was to state his position, and then he said slowly, "Gannan is now in the hands of the Red Army, and it is reasonable for the Sichuan Army to send troops to win the round, but if you want to occupy it and not leave, it will be difficult."

Liu Yun glanced at Liu Xiang and Lao Jiang, and found that they were not unusual, so he continued to elaborate, "With the support of the committee, our Sichuan army is born with the name of righteousness, but the three-horse coalition army is a family, if it really occupies the land of Gannan, I am afraid that Sichuan will be troubled from now on, and it will be harmful and unprofitable in the long run."

After all, the Red Army is from Sichuan Kang to Shaanxi and Gansu, and it is too immoral to beggar-thy neighbors, of course, even if the Red Army is driven away, the Sichuan Army cannot retreat immediately, and it will not be too late to withdraw again without repeating it after three or five years."

Lao Jiang and Liu Xiang are both heroes, and it is really clear to Liu Yun's words, but he is still a little unwilling to withdraw his troops in three or five years, and he spends a lot of troops and money and food, and for what reason, Commander Liu immediately tried to show up, "When my western Sichuan railway is extended to Gansu."

At this time, everyone understands, I have to say that this trick is really poisonous, according to Liu Yun's current practice, as long as the railway is repaired, a railway garrison brigade will be established, once it is attacked, as long as it can resist for a day and a half, hundreds of thousands of troops will flock to it, and then the Sichuan army will be anti-guest-oriented, and Ma Jiajun will become a guest.

Liu Yun's plan was never a single move, he believed that as long as the Sichuan army occupied Gannan, Lao Jiang and Liu Xiang would come forward and call on the armies of Shaanxi and Gansu to cease fighting, and use this to draw territory for them, ordering them not to cross the line easily, and whoever did not listen would be beaten on the ass, and from then on they would have to obey orders.

Liu Xiang and Lao Jiang were overjoyed for a while, such a chain plan was really feasible, but they were worried that the Red Army was still a bandit, and it was impossible to divide the territory, Liu Yun smiled slightly, "The territory of the Red Army is not in the Yangtze River basin or Sichuan, so why not legalize them."

This is said to the hearts of the two bosses, it is very annoying to fight local tyrants and divide the land, but it is their, they are surrounded by Ma Jiajun and Zhang Yanglian's army, and it is not easy to kill them back, not to mention that the Red Army and the end of the civil war are a great achievement for Lao Jiang and Liu Xiang, and it is a good deal.

If the above-mentioned strategic layout can be completed before the New Year of 1936, China will have an extra year of strategic time, which is much better than the hasty Xi'an Incident, so that the Red Army, the Central Army, and other warlords can calmly deal with the imminent outbreak of all-out war of resistance.

Liu Yun's idea is just an idea, for Liu Xiang and Lao Jiang, there is a lot of room for maneuver, for example, in the name of aid, let the Three Horse Coalition Army and the Zhang Yang Coalition Army and the Red Army desperately bite, and it is best that all three parties are exhausted and have to take the initiative to "stop the civil war and ask for peace".

Therefore, through the land of Gannan, how many guns to aid the Red Army, this must be carefully considered, less is not good, can not hurt Sanma and Zhang Yang, more and afraid of losing control, Lao Jiang and Liu Xiang after a period of mental calculations, think that 10,000 guns are enough, but bullets and the like can be given more.

Now that the big thing has been decided, Liu Yun is ready to retire on his own, I don't want Lao Jiang and Liu Xiang to stop him, and ask about the progress of the railway construction, this matter is simple, the railway has been repaired to Anxian County, and it is fast to Fucheng, and it is expected that there will be more than 20 days, and the train can be passed.

For Liu Yun's perseverance and perseverance, Lao Jiang and Liu Xiang both felt a lot, Mao County to Fucheng or West Sichuan County, are some lofty mountains and mountains, not to mention the construction of railways, even the construction of highways is very terrifying, due to the unremitting efforts of Commander Liu, even if the turmoil is big, still persistent in repairing railways.

There are more than 20 days, starting from West Sichuan County, through Maozhou City to Fucheng County, the whole railway is more than 200 kilometers, the whole line will be completed, from then on the construction of the railway in Sichuan will be a smooth road, whether Fucheng to the city, or Fucheng to Guangyuan, the difficulty of construction will drop a step steeply.

When I was in Chongqing, Liu Yun took a few ships of equipment, in Liu Xiang's mansion, talked about his railway plan, Lao Jiang and Chairman Liu really didn't take it seriously, at that time I thought that young people like to be different, but I didn't expect that in just a year, not only did they build a steel mill and an arsenal, but even the unpopular railway was repaired, and the Chongqing Arsenal is still on the drawings.

Why is this happening, Liu Xiang is really depressed, Lao Jiang has a German advisory group, and he himself has set up a universal advisory group, not only German consultants, but also British, American, French, and Japanese advisers, but there is no use of fart, it is just a waste of money, and he suddenly lost confidence in building an arsenal by himself.

By July next year, Liu Yun will send him to the Fucheng Arsenal, can he really do a good job, Liu Xiang has played some drums, since the Hanyang Arsenal, everyone is engaged in the arsenal, so far only Jinling Bing, Taiyuan Bing and Gongxian County, etc., the three arsenals can be handled, and the rest are all lost.

Now I have to add the West Sichuan Arsenal, this is a chicken that can lay golden eggs, Liu Xiang couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat, in order to save some money, he wanted to kill the chicken to get the eggs, it was really a ghost touching the brain, Liu Yun was a child of the Liu family after all, and the meat was rotten in the pot, how could he be so short-sighted, so he couldn't figure it out.

Fortunately, everything has passed, the family can say everything, Liu Xiang decided to support Liu Yun after learning from the pain, so he asked kindly, "Chuankang will not wait for me to reorganize the army, from now on, provide a division of German equipment every month, is there a problem, dozens of tons of gold is a trivial matter."

figured it out so quickly, Liu Yun was also stunned, he thought that it would be repaired in the Fucheng Arsenal, Liu Xiang personally operated it, and only then did he know the difficulties of the arsenal, so he would renegotiate the matter of German weapons and ammunition with him, but he didn't expect to figure it out in just a few days, it was really powerful.

Knowing that everyone has opinions on the matter of gold, Liu Yun had to explain half-truthfully, "Principal, Uncle Xiang, it's not that I like gold, but our Sichuan is too barren, and whether it is for construction or a decisive battle with Japanese devils in the future, there are too many places that need to use gold."

"To give a simple example, I want to ask German experts to help improve the manufacturing process of the arsenal, buy various alloy formulas, order advanced agricultural technology and aircraft technology, all of which require tons and tons of gold, if not through arms trading, but where does the gold come from in western Sichuan."

Liu Xiang and Lao Jiang are a little gloomy, Liu Yun said these things, they really haven't thought about it, fortunately, Jiang Weizuo has already understood, otherwise the Jinling Arsenal can't be built, only Chairman Liu is really at a loss, otherwise the railways and arsenals in Sichuan will not remain on paper so far.

However, Liu Jiang and the others heard a strange place from Liu Yun's words, China is a big agricultural country, and agricultural technology has long been mature, where do you need to import German technology, and you also need tons of gold, isn't this nonsense, for their questions, Liu Yun can only sigh.

Liu Yun had to be patient and briefly said the history of Germany's development, Germany was full of princes before it was truly unified in 1871, and the modern industrial revolution only began at that time.

However, the reason why Germany was able to rise was not only the credit of the Kingdom of Prussia, not only the credit of Bismarck and other emperors and generals, but to be precise, the credit of the second industrial revolution.

In the early 20th century, the industrial output value of Germany and the United States surpassed that of the old Britain, France and Russia, and the outbreak of World War I was accidental, but it was also a panic in the hearts of the old empires, which wanted to take advantage of the fact that the new empire had not really risen to interrupt the development of the United States and Germany through violence.

Therefore, many people saw the benefits of industrialization, and backward countries such as China, Japan, and the Soviet Union were trying to imitate Germany and the United States, among which the Soviet Union was the most crazy, and in order to engage in industrialization, they ignored human life, land and culture, and turned them into screws of industrialization, and the result was a lack of succession.

If you really want to get to the root of it, it is the big problem in agriculture, many people only see the industrial revolution, see the internal combustion engine and electrification, but do not see the agricultural revolution in the early 19th century, the United States is blessed with few people, just toss is fine, only the Germans have more people and less land, the strategic environment is very bad, only the first agricultural revolution, can there be a later industrial development.

A straightforward remark made Liu Xiang and Lao Jiang stunned, and the two looked at each other, but they didn't expect the rise of Germany and the United States to have such an inside story, which is completely different from mainstream propaganda, Germany's 400,000 square kilometers of land, accommodating 65 million people, absolutely impossible without an agricultural revolution.

Since agriculture has such benefits, Jiang and Liu are also warm, and want to ask more details, and then they will also send people to study and study, Liu Yun told them with a wry smile that an agreement was signed half a year ago, and Germany promised to send an expert group to improve agriculture in western Sichuan County, but unfortunately there has been no news so far.

Lao Jiang and Liu Xiang were also shocked, only then did they know the power of the agricultural revolution, it was indeed a treasure of Germany, even if it was the agricultural transformation of a remote county, they did not want to send experts to take orders, this is a strategic treasure, how can it be easily given away, even if the relationship between the two sides is good.

However, these two people are old foxes, there is Liu Yun, a fool to test the waters, and invite agricultural experts to carry out an agricultural revolution, they just look at the results coldly, if it is fake, it is just that, if it is true, they have a way, no matter how good gold is, how can it be compared to grain, this is the foundation of a stable country.

Huaxia is a humane society, Lao Jiang and Liu Xiang immediately discussed with Liu Yun, as soon as the German agricultural experts arrived, they would also send people to participate in the study, and hoped that Liu Yun would not see outside, Commander Liu spent so much effort, isn't it just for the development of the rear, so he naturally patted his chest and agreed.

With the big and small things agreed one by one, Lao Jiang and Liu Xiang left satisfied, Liu Yun also breathed a sigh of relief, and finally could return to construction, for the future Sino-Japanese war, the railway network and industrial base in the rear are worth a hundred reorganized German mechanics, so as time went by, he also became more and more panicked, always afraid that the war would break out, but did not complete the scheduled infrastructure.
