Looking at Lao Jiang's innocent appearance, and then looking at the blank looks of the two Chairman Liu, it is estimated that he is not as good as Lao Jiang, Liu Yun was also a little speechless, and only asked quietly, "According to the principal, when will the European and American powers have time to look east and send troops to Japan."

For this question, Lao Jiang was also embarrassed, and he was a little speechless for a while, because some words could not be said on the surface, such as the Soviet Union's hatred of Japan, such as Germany's secret guarantee to China, such as the United States' secret handicap, such as Britain and France's layout of China, and so on.

So Lao Jiang pretended to be calm, but his tone was strange, and he even said with some annoyance, "Niang Xipi, whether I ask you or you ask me, I want you to say it first."

Liu Yun didn't dare to compete with Lao Jiang, and said with a smile on his face, "Then let's put it another way, when does the principal think the second European war will break out."

Lao Jiang came to his senses at this time, glanced at the two Liu, and said very casually, "You little leather monkey, if you have anything to say directly, our time is very precious, well, it doesn't matter if you don't say it well, we are all your elders, if you say it wrong, you will be very tolerant."

Now that Jiang Weizuo has spoken, how can the two Chairman Liu contradict each other, so they both comforted Liu Yun and asked him to say that Liu Yun had no choice but to talk to himself, "I think that the future war will not be less than four years, because the last European war was fought for four years, however, there is another key question, although Germany has been rearmed and the sky over Europe is full of gunsmoke, but the second European war, when it will break out, is still an unknown question, whether it is three years or five years."

"Well, look at Germany's unhurried secret preparations for war now, even if it is four years, plus the time of the second European war, it will take a total of eight years, and we guess it ourselves, the truth is often more cruel, it is better to leave some leeway, so it is better to count it as ten years."

Lao Jiang and the two Chairman Liu finally understood that the Sino-Japanese war, if it was only on China's own, could not be completed independently, and if it was to rely on the great powers, it would have to wait until the end of the second European war, and if it was to wait until the end of the future European war, it was expected that it would take ten years of independent resistance to war.

"Ten years of the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression", Lao Jiang and the two Liu had a headache, and involuntarily took a breath of cold air, even according to Liu Yun's war plan, one year after the war, the Japanese devils occupied most of China, and only the three provinces of Yunnan, Guizhou and Sichuan in China made the rear bigger, and in Shanxi, Henan, Hunan, Hubei and Liangguang, it is expected to take eight to ten years to fight with the devils.

Lao Jiang has a feeling that the sky is in a daze, who said that a protracted war is only beneficial to China, and a full-scale war with the devil for ten or eight years, the devil can still plunder China, plunder North Korea, and only use the meager resources of the three provinces of Yunnan, Guizhou and Sichuan to support the national war of resistance, how is this possible.

The three big men really understood at this time why Liu Yun wanted to build the Sichuan Railway, because only by repairing the railway can the limited resources of the three southwestern provinces be intensively used, so that China still has a little possibility of resistance, otherwise the Japanese devils will not use planes and tanks, just besiege but not attack, they will trap, drag to death, and starve to death in the rear of China, and finally collapse without attacking.

Lao Jiang stood up, walked around the study a few times, and after a brief discussion with the two Chairman Liu, he turned around, looked at Liu Yun faintly, and said very cautiously, "Yicheng, I understand, you are my good student, I will fully support the construction of the railway, and I will do a lot of manpower and material resources, although you open your mouth, I just don't know how much you can repair in three years."

Three years, or Germany warned Japan, not to act rashly, then I know the preciousness of this time, Liu Yun also said seriously, "Principal, students think that it can be divided into three stages, with 1935 as the first stage, the construction of Fucheng Iron and Steel Plant and Sichuan County Iron and Steel Plant, as well as two supporting arsenals, and the construction of the railway from Fucheng to Sichuan County, with a total length of about 200 kilometers, for the whole Sichuan to do a good job in the preliminary work."

"In 1936 as the second stage, the construction of Chongqing Iron and Steel Plant and Chongqing Arsenal, the construction of the Sichuan-Yunnan junction of Ningyuan Fu Ferry (Panzhihua) Iron and Steel Plant, the construction of Fucheng County to the provincial capital, Fucheng to the northern Sichuan town of Guangyuan County, West Sichuan County to Chengdu, and Chengdu to Leshan County, etc., four sections of railway, the total length is expected to be 800 kilometers, the formation of Leshan - Chengdu - West Sichuan County - Fucheng - Guangyuan development axis, forming the development core of western Sichuan, and even the entire southwest three provinces."

"Ningyuanfu ferry, is the ferry port at the junction of Sichuan and Yunnan", Liu Xiang and Liu Wenhui are a little puzzled, that place they are too familiar with, once fought here, now it is at the junction of Sichuan, Xikang and Yunnan provinces, in addition to the Yangtze River has the advantage of water transportation, is that there are many mountains and few people are poor, I don't see how special, to develop a steel plant there, there is this must be, in case the Yunnan warlords are red-eyed, wouldn't they have to fight again.

Seeing the two Chairman Liu asking about the Ningyuan Mansion Ferry, Liu Yun was suddenly happy in his heart, he was finally not fighting alone, he did not waste his own thoughts, checked a lot of information, and was roughly sure that the future steel capital, Panzhihua City, should be the Ningyuan Mansion Ferry during the Republic of China.

Seeing that Liu Wenhui and Liu Xiang seemed to want to speak and stopped, Lao Jiang's heart moved, so he said very kindly, "Yicheng, don't worry, as long as your railway is repaired to Ningyuanfu Ferry, Yunnan, I will do persuasion work, if necessary, there will still be an army of 100,000."

"Persuasion work", the two Chairman Liu suddenly sweated profusely, and Liu Yun's expression was a little sluggish, your sister, do you have such a persuasion work, dispatch 100,000 troops, shouldn't you be robbing the territory of the warlord Long Yun under the guise of persuasion, Lao Jiang smiled and said nothing.

"In 1937 as the third stage, the construction of Ningyuanfu Ferry (Panzhihua) Iron and Steel Plant and Arsenal, the construction of Chengdu to Chongqing, Leshan to Kunming, Guangyuan to Baoji, Guangyuan to Hanzhong four sections of railway, is expected to be a total length of 1,500 kilometers, can constitute a preliminary Sichuan railway network."

These railway plans were too abstract for Lao Jiang and Liu, and they were a little dizzy and dizzy, and they didn't want to listen to it anymore, so they smiled and said, "Okay, well-said, well-organized, well-detailed, it can be a model for the development plan of the Ministry of Railways, well, we also roughly understand it, the time is very long, and the amount of work is also very large, but it needs to be implemented gradually."

"I think it's good, you first do a good job in the Sino-German joint research and development work, as well as the first phase of the Sichuan Railway, well, that is, at this time next year, or I, together with the two Chairman Liu, personally lead the team, or in Chongqing, hold a conference on the development of the Sichuan Railway."

A simple matter, does it need to be so complicated, Liu Yun was a little stunned for a while, and he couldn't react for a long time, but fortunately, Liu Xiang understood it, so he said with a pleasant face, "Yicheng Xian, you see that this time is also late, you have been on the boat for more than ten days, and you are tired, don't be too nervous, take a good rest tonight, and go to Fotuguan and Yeyu Temple tomorrow."

Liu Xiang immediately summoned Adjutant Guo and asked him to take Liu Yun out, and Dr. Liu only then understood that the big men still had important things to discuss, so they naturally asked him to leave, but fortunately, the original purpose was achieved, so he didn't bother to care, and immediately saluted and said goodbye to the three division commanders.

Although Liu Xiang's villa is very large, and the room is also free, but the officials below the major general are not qualified to live, probably because it is late, and Liu Yun was not allowed to return to Chaotianmen Wharf, but arranged in the nearby Fotuguan Guest House, which specializes in receiving military and political dignitaries of the Sichuan army, and should be equipped with quite high, and Liu Yun was able to live in it after being personally introduced by Adjutant Guo.

Liu Yun is really too tired these days, and suddenly talked to three big people, the pressure in his heart is so great that ordinary people can not understand it at all, when everything is arranged and Adjutant Guo has left, he found that his back has already been soaked in cold sweat, and after a hurried wash, he didn't think too much about lying on the bed, and he snored loudly for a while.

When Liu Yun woke up, it was already noon the next day, and when he had just finished washing and was about to go out, he found Hu Jiansheng of Minsheng Company waiting for him in the hall of the guest house.

After a period of greetings, I learned that after he was taken away by Adjutant Guo yesterday afternoon, the rest of the transport fleet was anxious, some sent a telegram to the Hanyang Arsenal, some asked important officials in Chongqing to inquire about the inside story, and some directly contacted Lu Zuofu, and in the end, the relationship between Mr. Lu was tougher.

In the morning, someone informed Hu Jiansheng and asked him to go to the Fotuguan Guest House to pick up people, although he was suspicious, he did not dare to slack off, and hurriedly left, and asked at the guest house, Liu Yun was really inside, and when he learned that someone was sleeping, his heart was greatly stable, and he was happy to wait in the hall.

Liu Yun was greatly moved for a while, he thought that he had no deep friendship with the rest of the fleet, but he didn't expect that at the critical time, these people had not forgotten him, and they tried their best to rescue themselves.

Liu Yun and Hu Jiansheng left the guest house, walking and talking along Fotu Pass and Yeyu Temple, both of them are ordinary people, and they are also going through the motions for touring the mountains and rivers, and when they are about to return to the fleet together, Adjutant Guo is sweating profusely.

As soon as he saw Adjutant Liu Yunguo, he was relieved, as if he had found his own brother, and he was not in a hurry, and after everyone politely said a few words, his anger basically smoothed out, and Hu Jiansheng seemed to be acquaintances, and he didn't mean to shy away from it, so he took out an official letter directly, Hu Jiansheng was not a fool, he knew that it was definitely not his, but he distanced himself from the two intentionally or unintentionally.

Liu Yun had no choice but to touch his nose and take it, and when he opened it, it turned out to be the letter of appointment given to him by Liu Xiang, which seemed to be written by Chairman Liu himself, which was similar to Lao Jiang's handwritten letter, but with more power, he was appointed as the secretary of the chairman of Sichuan, and the treatment was the same as that of Adjutant Guo.

Liu Xiang's edict was as follows: "Xu, appoint Liu Yun as the commander and adjutant of the Sichuan Army, specialize in the affairs of the Sichuan-Central Railway, be equivalent to the secretary of the provincial chairman, confer the rank of colonel of the Sichuan Army, and concurrently serve as the director of the Sichuan County Iron and Steel Plant, as well as the general adviser of the Fucheng Arsenal. Liu Xiang, November of the 23rd year of the Republic of China".

After Liu Yun read it, it was beyond his expectations, he didn't expect to get two letters in just two months, and he felt a little overwhelmed, Liu Xiang's secretary position does not seem to be high, but he is the confidant of the king of Sichuan, and many times, he can come on behalf of Liu Xiang in person.

What's even worse is that once it is released, and the post of secretary is not revoked, it means that the official is a senior and a real minister, at the same time, the colonel of the Sichuan army at this time is different from the colonel in Nanjing, and the gold content is frighteningly high, Liu Xiang and Liu Wenhui, although they are the kings of Sichuan and the kings of Xikang, are only the rank of lieutenant generals, and many division commanders with nearly 10,000 troops are just colonels.
