Liu Yun also knew that General Yang had only been the chairman of Guizhou Province for a short time, and he needed money everywhere, and it was not very easy to get together these two million oceans, so he had the intention to give away this batch of arms for nothing, but he was afraid of slapping Yang Gengguang's face, so he had to accept it with a smile, and secretly increased the number of arms from the factory by 50%.

Unexpectedly, as soon as Admiral Yang left his seat, General Bai came up again, Bai Chongxi deserved to be a soldier, and doing business was straightforward, he only took a fancy to the western Sichuan fighter plane, and he was also going to send 200 cadets over to study at the West Sichuan Air Force Academy, and after three or five months of training, he drove the purchased fighter back to Guilin.

Therefore, Guangxi will immediately deliver three tons of gold, and one or two is not a lot, and one or two is not owed, but what makes Commander Liu very difficult is that if he wants to make these 200 Guangxi trainees 100% qualified, the West Sichuan Air Force Academy will not be able to do it at all, even if he may hand over another three tons of gold, it is useless, and he will not dare to accept this order at all.

Bai Chongxi couldn't understand that since Western Sichuan dared to declare that "anyone who can drive a car can fly an airplane," then why can't all the air force cadets sent by Guilin, Guangxi, be qualified? Moreover, among the 200 trainees, there are more than 50 pilots on active duty, and the remaining 100 or so have basically received flight training and can also drive cars.

Seeing the questioning eyes of the big guys, Liu Yun was also angry, your sister, isn't that engaging in sales promotion, you still take it seriously, so you have to change the word, "Admiral Bai, your requirements are too harsh, as far as I know, you Guilin, Guangxi, began to train your own air force in 1925, and established an aviation school in 1928, and it has been a year since then, I don't know how many qualified pilots there are every year?" ”

"This question, that, haha, Brother Yicheng just likes to be more serious, isn't this a joke with you for brother", Bai Chongxi immediately snorted, pulling Commander Liu like a brother, and quickly changed his words, "I'm not greedy, help me train fifty."

Liu Yun also smiled silently, and then nodded slightly in agreement, I didn't expect that the West Sichuan Air Force Academy has long been famous in the world, and the high success rate is even more shocking to the princes, it seems that Admiral Bai is also prepared, more than 50 active pilots, if you can train another fifty, you can form a real air force wing, and the rest of the 100 or so students who have been eliminated are just ground maintenance personnel, and Boss Bai is really careful about his calculations.

As for the cost of training, it did not make Commander Liu embarrassed, Bai Chongxi was known as "Jinliang", so he naturally had no last resort, and immediately handed over a check of 2 million oceans, which was specially used for the training of pilots, and also made it clear that on the basis of 50, each additional person would send 50,000 yuan, and there was no upper limit.

It really made all the bigwigs dumbfounded, feeling that these pilots are more expensive than airplanes, what kind of truth is this, hum, Bai Chongxi just didn't tell them, let them wander in the dark and confused, this is a lesson in blood, Guangxi has invested a huge amount of money in the air force every year, whether it is training personnel or aircraft maintenance, but unfortunately only more than 20 students are qualified every year, and some of them are trained abroad.

Therefore, Commander Liu's point-to-point opinion, General Bai immediately softened, in the final analysis, he just didn't want to treat other people, their Gui family suffered a big loss, if these people didn't eat, wouldn't it be a big loss, in case someone inadvertently revealed the truth about the Guilin Air Force, they didn't suffer in vain.

Zhang Shaomaro is still well-informed, the old Zhang family was at its most prosperous, but it had more than 300 fighters, and he had a very mature set of experience in the training of pilots, and he broke the trick of Admiral Bai in one word, "That's because good planes are easy to buy, and good pilots are hard to find, and pilots are indeed more expensive than airplanes."

Bai Chongxi also laughed, he himself regretted it, and almost forgot that these bigwigs had trained the air force by themselves, but more or less, and hurriedly changed the topic, "That, Brother Yicheng, let's say goodbye, I will immediately send a report to Guilin and ask them to send someone over immediately."

Because Liu Xiang and Liu Yun still had guests to meet, they naturally would not keep them anymore, and began to say goodbye with tears one by one, but Yang Hucheng was a little difficult to ride a tiger, and it was only after Zhang Shaoshuai said that he took out 10 million oceans and bought 30,000 formal rifles, 2,000 Czech light machine guns, and 200 72mm infantry guns.

Chairman Liu took Commander Liu and changed an official residence to discuss matters, but he met Ma Hongbin, Ma Buqing, Li Jiayu and Deng Xihou and others, in fact, there was nothing to talk about, except that Ma Buqing wanted to order some cavalry equipment, that is, to talk about the economic integration of Fucheng, Guangyuan and Longnan.

The equipment of the cavalry is easy to handle, sabers and war horses, Ma Jiajun can handle it himself, as for the other equipment, it is mainly short-barreled rifles, Zilai German shell guns and automatic firepower, and by the way, some mortars and infantry guns and the like, give two million oceans, you can get a reorganized division.

However, the problem of economic integration is a big problem, fortunately, the western Sichuan railway is about to be built to Longnan County, which can completely connect the three prefectures.

However, when it comes to cross-provincial issues, it will alarm Liu Xiang and Ma Hongbin, who will naturally not be evildoers, but will be happy to see it come to fruition, and what we really want to talk about is the issue of economic integration between the three prefectures and western Sichuan.

Deng Xihou means to share the same fate with the Western Sichuan Prefecture.

This is a sensitive topic, and we all know that Liu Xiang is very jealous of the development of western Sichuan, but if Chairman Liu messes around behind his back, it will be difficult for everyone to meet each other in the future, so everyone wants to discuss it openly. After all, the rise of western Sichuan has been unstoppable, and now it still has its own banks, currency, factories, and economic radiation circles, becoming a de facto independent new warlord, and the social economy is thriving, it is reasonable for Deng Xihou and others to want to join.

As the saying goes, "stay and stay, stay and become an enemy", Liu Xiang's idea is that it is better for him to join the western Sichuan economic circle himself, so that there will be no "discordant" voice.

This topic is also very tricky, because the western Sichuan economic circle has only been formed for a short time, and it is still a relatively fragile living body, if the whole of Sichuan also joins, western Sichuan will not be able to digest it at all, and will even pull out the seedlings to help grow, thus affecting the healthy growth of the economy of western Sichuan.

Commander Liu is from the 21st century, and he is a person who has seen the world, so he simply suggested that Deyang Prefecture, as an observer member, temporarily join the "Western Sichuan Economic Circle".

Chairman Liu Xiang disagrees with this, he believes that the city is also connected to the railway, and it also belongs to the scope of western Sichuan in a broad sense, so the city should also be included in the western Sichuan economic circle. However, everyone knows exactly how big the city is, and once this place joins, everyone has to drink the northwest wind.

In view of the quarrel with each other, and the stalemate, Commander Liu had to give in one more step, let the city also become one of the observers, and two years later, according to the actual economic situation, discuss the question of whether to join or not, so that everyone's emotions have been relieved, and the harmonious atmosphere at the beginning has been restored.

When everyone shifted the topic to the Longnan Prefecture, Chairman Ma Hongbin also had some small views, he hoped that Lanzhou would also be included in one of the objects of observation, but in terms of time, it was necessary to extend it slightly, because Lanzhou is not yet connected to the railway, and when it is really repaired, there will be no buffer time of a few days, so I want to book in advance and strive to join the western Sichuan economic circle as soon as possible.

For the sake of the oil in the northwest, Commander Liu had no choice but to admit it.

Have all these people fallen into evil? Why do you want to join the West Sichuan Economic Circle? Liu Yun himself couldn't figure it out, but Deng Xihou's words broke the truth, "Because the people's livelihood economy in Maozhou, Fucheng, and Guangyuan and other places has taken off since the intervention of western Sichuan."

Liu Yun was speechless for a moment, the development of these places is really because of western Sichuan? It is a myth that it should be the development of industry and mining that has led to the development of local economy, to be precise, the development of railways, which has led to the value of mining minerals in these places.

The world only sees the phenomenon, but does not see the essence, even if Liu Yun says his mouth, no one will believe it, then let it go, anyway, the iron coin of the West Sichuan Bank, just need the population and the scope of issuance, and wait until the end of 1937, when the legal tender system of the Nanjing National Government collapsed, the iron coin was just on the top in time.

The military exercises have been completed, the arms sales have been basically completed, and the secret account with Chairman Liu has also been divided, and Liu Xiang's account in the West Sichuan Bank has increased by 6 million oceans overnight, which is really a great joy, but the adjustment of the second and third brigades in West Sichuan has not yet reached agreement with Liu Yun for the time being.

Liu Xiang thought that these two brigades were vulnerable, and Commander Liu should bear leadership responsibility, so the two brigade commanders, Ding Xinggui and Zhang Xinghua, as well as the officers and officers under them, should go to the teaching brigade and West Sichuan University for further study.

Collecting another 20,000 troops, Liu Yun felt that he was going crazy, whether he was defeated or won, how did he feel that the more victorious, the more miserable the mix, if there were a few more such victories, these incorporated troops would be able to eat up western Sichuan, what should I do? Development of agriculture and heavy industry.

The development of agriculture in the western Sichuan Plateau is somewhat unrealistic, but there are no absolutes, such as the size of Jinchuan, it is very suitable for the development of agriculture, and even the formation of the Western Sichuan Plateau Agricultural Reclamation Corps, specializing in the development of agriculture and transportation in the plateau area, followed by the production of various types of agricultural machinery, as well as textile, sugar pressing, flour grinding and other electric machines.

In addition, Commander Liu believes that units such as the Agricultural Reclamation Corps can actually build a few more, such as Jiuzhaigou and Hongyuan, which were developed only in later generations, during the Republic of China, they were still inaccessible and desolate places, whether it was planting grain, mining coal, or planting jatropha trees, etc., they were the best choices.

After this military exercise, Chairman Liu Xiang also saw that whether it was to guard against the Western Sichuan Army or to guard against Liu Yun, they were all thankless models, and Commander Liu was also a free and easy person, and he didn't like to meddle in the army and politics very much, and he had no fundamental conflict of interest.

Since then, Chairman Liu Xiang has completely entrusted the western Sichuan Prefecture to Liu Yun and his son, and in the mountain pass of Yingxiu Town, there are no longer obstacles and heavy troops, and as for the problems of the second and third brigades, they are also completely managed by Commander Liu.

Unexpectedly, Liu Xiang's kindness made Commander Liu anxious, because in his own hands, there was no suitable leading talent, Ding Xinggui and Zhang Xinghua, the two brigade commanders, were the best candidates.

However, it is necessary for these two foreign talents to go to West Sichuan University for further study.

Let Major General Guo make up for the two of them, so as not to be taught a lesson by the Japanese devils when they go to the battlefield of resistance against Japan in the future, it will be really embarrassing, of course, during the training period, these troops will be managed by Guo Qixun.

At the same time, Pang Taishi's road repair team had been repaired to the vicinity of Dujiangyan, and his nephew Pang Changhui could already be independently responsible for road repair, while Taishi himself was unwilling to be the president of the West Sichuan Bank. In desperation, Liu Yun had no choice but to let him act as the commander of the Third Brigade and temporarily stationed in the Dujiangyan barracks, while the commander of the Second Brigade was personally represented by Liu Ebei, the commissioner of western Sichuan, and temporarily stationed in Wenchuan County.
