With the tension of the war in Shaanxi and Gansu, Liu Yun lost interest in going to the construction site, and pulled German military strategists, as well as Jia Lian and Wang Dingxing and others, in the military academy of West Sichuan University, to start simulating the Shaanxi-Gansu War, and estimating the future trend of the Red Army, Ma Jiajun, Zhang Yang Coalition Army, and the Central Army.

Somehow, the more we discussed, the more interested we became, and in the end, even the commanders and fighters left behind by the Red Army also participated in this great controversy, among which they were represented by Zhen Wenhe and Zheng Yuanxing, one was a graduate officer of the Whampoa Military Academy, and the other was a high-achieving student who studied in France, and they both stayed in the army for a long time, and became famous in the first battle in Maoxian, and they also knew the Red Army best, so their arguments were very convincing.

On the seventh day after the outbreak of the Shaanxi-Gansu War, the main force of the Red Army finally entered the southern region of Gansu, and the progress was rapid, its forward had approached Longxi County, the Majia coalition army had to retreat on all fronts, the first stage of the Longxi War was over, Liu Xiang quickly sent a division into Songpan, so that the Red Army could no longer return to Sichuan through here.

Due to the defeat and retreat of the Ma army, the passage to the north has been opened, and the main force of the Red Army's 50,000 or 60,000 troops will advance eastward along Weishui to take Xi'an at any time.

When the cadets of the Western Sichuan Military Academy were discussing when the Red Army would begin a full-scale counteroffensive, the city capital suddenly sent a telegram, inviting Liu Yun, Liu Ebei, and others to bring the officials and gentry from Mao County in western Sichuan to the city to hold an "Anchuan Conference."

Looking at the telegram full of comedy, Liu Yun couldn't cry or laugh, the Sichuan people of this era are really popular with all kinds of myths and legends, if you guess correctly, the "Anchuan Conference" should be a reference, Sun Dasheng made trouble in the Heavenly Palace, Liu Xiang compared himself to the Jade Emperor, the Red Army was compared to the Monkey King, Liu Wenhui, a Duobao Taoist, should be the Buddha of the West Heaven.

Comparing the Red Army to the Monkey King, Li Shengde and these revolutionaries didn't care, and even remembered this incident in Yan'an later, and wrote the phrase "The golden monkey rose up with a thousand sticks, and Yuyu clarified Wanliai", but the two Liu chairmen of Chuankang compared themselves to the Jade Emperor and Rulai It is a bit absurd.

It may be that there are too many people to reward meritorious deeds, and the traffic in this era is also very inconvenient, so the Antiy Conference was scheduled for 15 days later, that is, on September 28, 1935, because there is another consideration to facilitate Lao Chiang's arrangement, and October 10 is the Double Tenth National Day of the Nanjing government.

Liu Yun calculated the time, the time is still relatively abundant, and it is quite convenient for the personnel to be gathered, and he is too lazy to think too much for a while, and he doesn't want to participate in these chattering conferences.

What worries Liu Daguan the most is when the German aircraft experts will arrive, and he can't control the affairs of the Germans, mainly because of the teaching problems of the air force cadets, which gives him a headache, he is a person who relies on his brain to fly planes, and when it comes to large-scale training of pilots, he doesn't know anything.

The other is the railway from Maoxian to Fucheng, how long does it take to repair the problem, if it is said that from western Sichuan County to Maoxian, is the first step of the long march, then from Maoxian to Fucheng is a qualitative change, Fucheng is located on the edge of the plain, food is no longer a problem, but also to solve the oil problem.

This is not to say that Fucheng is rich in oil, but that foreign oil tankers can reach Wuhan through the Yangtze River, and then transshipped by China's inland waterway transportation companies, and Fucheng happens to be the largest wharf in the inland shipping route in Sichuan, which can directly reach the western Sichuan region, which is very important to Liu Yun's strategic layout.

Therefore, Liu Yun threw all kinds of government affairs and miscellaneous affairs in his hands to his private secretary Yin Qinlan, and he couldn't wait to squat at the site of road construction all the time, and the area between Maoxian and Fucheng was sparsely populated, full of lofty mountains, ravines, poor construction conditions, and unusually slow progress.

It is said that Liu Yun has the help of wisdom and ants, and it is not a trivial matter to repair the railway, but the spirit of this guy is a little high, and he is unwilling to be sloppy, especially before this guy crossed, he also traveled to Wenchuan, so he has lingering palpitations for the earthquake, so the requirements for the project are also relatively high.

How tall exactly? In Liu Yun's view, at least in the event of a magnitude 8 earthquake, there will be no train overturning and route collapse, a train usually carries up to 1,000 people, once it rolls over, it can be returned, and the other is the location of each marshalling station, which must not collapse or be buried alive.

Fortunately, the railway from Tongmao County to West Sichuan County has been built, and if there is any need for the construction section, the military and civilians of the two counties will work together, so although the construction conditions are bad, the progress is still not low, with an average of nearly 1.5 kilometers per day, and if the construction is smooth, it will be repaired within three months.

In order to speed up the progress, Liu Yun even took the initiative to send people to Fucheng, first, to prepare for the Fucheng Iron and Steel Plant. It was inspected once in 1934, but the short-sightedness of the generals of the Sichuan army wasted a great opportunity, so a large number of steel-making equipment was still placed in the warehouse in Anchang Town.

Then there is the issue of railways. Since it will take three months to build through, then it is time to build Fucheng hub station at this time, after all, Fucheng county is the confluence of three rivers, the water network is dense, and the construction of railway hub station here will definitely not be smooth sailing, and early preparation is also a rainy day.

The various drawings of the Fucheng hub station have already been designed, and the technicians who were sent to Fucheng are mainly German engineering experts, which is good in this era.

Of course, if there are any materials needed, and the quantity is not much, Liu Yun does not mind direct airlift, after Liu Xiang's repeated emphasis, as well as the Sichuan army's worship of aircraft and tanks, the improvised airfield in Fucheng has long been repaired, and it is no problem to take off and land a few propeller planes.

When there were still five or six days before the "Yaskawa Conference", someone was in full swing to build the railway, and suddenly received a telegram from Liu Xiang, asking him to return to the city capital immediately and want to discuss major matters. Liu Yun didn't realize it for a while, but he didn't discount it in any way, and drove back to the city on a private plane.

As soon as the plane arrived at the North Campus in the city capital, Liu Yun was caught by Liu Xiang's adjutant, and he didn't speak, pulled into a prepared car, and went directly to Liu Xiang's official residence.

Now in the Sichuan military system, Liu Yun is also a character, and he doesn't blame this new adjutant, although he himself is also Liu Xiang's adjutant, he is still walking with this guy, buying it is a favor, not buying it is his duty, but it is not a big deal to think about it, so he simply closed his eyes and recuperated.

In less than half an hour, Liu Xiang's official residence arrived, and Liu Yun realized that something was wrong, it seems that Chief Liu's official residence has changed again, but Chairman Liu is the king of Sichuan, theoretically speaking, the whole Sichuan belongs to his family, and he can live wherever he wants.

What really surprised Liu Yun was that Liu Xiang was waiting for him outside the official residence, wearing a gray-white robe and a cane, as if he was a teacher who could be seen everywhere, but he and the new adjutant hurriedly rolled out of the car and greeted the old boss with a nervous face.

Liu Xiang didn't care, like an ordinary elder, he pulled Liu Yun and walked into the house, the new adjutant only knew that something was wrong at this time, his face was pale and sweaty, Chairman Liu accidentally saw this scene, and also felt very strange, so he introduced the origin of this house to Liu Daguan.

The new adjutant turned out to be an alumnus of Liu Yun, surnamed Xiong Yuhui, with the rank of lieutenant colonel, and also an officer who graduated from Nanjing Lu University, and is said to be the nephew of Xiong Kewu, a famous general in eastern Sichuan.

Liu Yun suddenly understood, now the two provinces of Sichuan and Kang are the old Liu family in charge, although Xiong Kewu is known as a famous general in eastern Sichuan, but after all, he is an outsider, since 1924 was driven out of Sichuan by the Sichuan army princes, everyone has long forgotten this person, Lao Jiang sent this person to the Sichuan army, I am afraid that there is a suspicion of mixed sand.

"Be as polite as possible to outsiders", this is the connotation and cultivation of Sichuan people, Liu Yun in this life, but a native of Sichuan, is naturally more into the local customs, so he also shouted nonsense from his younger brothers, and also said that he was a graduate of Nanjing Lu University and a protégé of Lao Jiang.

Xiong Yuhui looks not young, about thirty years old, but he doesn't have much life experience, and he is extremely uncomfortable with Liu Yun's politeness, especially when he sees Liu Xiang on the side, he is even more in a hurry, and he doesn't dare to offend Liu Daguan or talk nonsense, and he actually sweats for a while.

After saying a few words about the scene, and pondering the skills of Adjutant Xiong again, Liu Yun immediately understood that this guy can have today, most of them rely on nepotism, and the experience of going to Lu University for training was also specially taken care of before he graduated, no wonder Lao Jiang couldn't look down on it and threw it directly to Liu Xiang.

Liu Yun and Liu Xiang glanced at each other, both knew Xiong Yuhui, the two went to the study hand in hand, the adjutant acted as a servant, served tea and water to the two, Chairman Liu was also nowhere to go, took out two telegrams from the desk, and handed them directly to Liu Daguan, a proper Sichuan Army cabinet treatment.

Everyone was an adjutant, but Liu Daguan knew his duties, and hurriedly read the content of the telegram, one was sent to Liu Xiang by the Red Army, talking about the problem of the Gannan region, and the Red Army wanted to hand over Gannan to the Sichuan Army, because they were about to go north with the whole army, and the focus was on running Yan'an.

Therefore, the Red Army occupies the counties of Gannan, and it is not much use, and it is also divided into troops to guard, if it is directly handed over to the three horses, and feel panicked, the Red Army lost 20,000 soldiers, if it is said that there is no fire in the heart, it is strange, so it is sent to Liu Xiang, hoping to exchange Gannan for some arms, and named and asked for the arms of the West Sichuan County Arsenal, which is the real reason why Liu Xiang urgently summoned Liu Yun.

The other telegram was a joint telegram from Zhang Yang and Sanma, one is that they hope that the Sichuan army will send troops to jointly exterminate the Red Army, the second is that they hope to spend a lot of money to buy some arms in Sichuan, and they also want arms from Sichuan West County by name, and third, they talk a lot of nonsense, talking about the future friendly prospects of the three parties.

Liu Yun suddenly understood, this is "flowers blooming inside the wall and fragrant outside the wall", now Lao Jiang is anxious to establish a large rear, and he spares no effort to win over the Sichuan army, and the original German arms are waiting in Wuhan, and the Sichuan army is not interested in the Sichuan West County munitions, after all, domestic munitions are notoriously unreliable.

However, now that there are appeals from the Red Army, the Three Horse Alliance, and Zhang Yang, Liu Xiang also has some unclear feelings, and of course Chairman Liu also has some careful thoughts, that is, he is also a little salivating for the southern part of Gansu, not to mention the northern part of Sichuan, which is still a place of ointment.
