Although Jiang Fangzhen is a more elegant and reserved person, but now that he has come to Cai Yi's house, he does not regard himself as an outsider, as early as the time when he was studying at the Japanese non-commissioned officer school, it is not uncommon for the two of them to sleep together, not to mention, now it is just a nightstay.

"Brother Baili, you and I haven't seen each other for several years, but I heard that you are working in the Northeast, but I don't know what the specific situation is." There is never a shortage of topics between the two, looking at the elegant face of his friend, Cai Ye asked first.

"Creation makes people, don't mention it, don't mention it." Speaking of this, Jiang Fangzhen had a wry smile on his face.

Hearing Jiang Fangzhen say this, Cai Ye still didn't understand that there must be a hidden secret: "Huh? And what you Jiang Fangzhen don't want to mention? It's really rare. ”

"Okay Songpa, don't make fun of me."

"By the way, Baili, now that you're here, I don't know what your plans are? Why don't you stay here and help me, I just need a helper, how about that? Cai Ye no longer asked, but diverted the topic.

"What? Do you still have my place here? At this time, Jiang Fangzhen was a little interested, and he went all the way south, and it is not an exaggeration to say that he was a lost dog.

"Of course, your Jiang Baili's talent, others don't understand, can I still not understand? Chief of Staff of the Southwest Military District, I don't know if you are satisfied with this position? Cai laughed.

"Songpa, you know me, and I have always advocated the nationalization of the army......

Cai Ye didn't wait for Jiang Fangzhen to finish speaking, he shook his hand and interrupted him, and then said: "Baili, I understand what you mean, but to say that in today's China, the most nationalized place for the army, I dare to pat my chest and tell you, no one can compare to the southwest." ”

"Oh? Can you elaborate on Matsupa? ”

"You've studied in Germany, so you should know the German military system, right?"

"You mean, the German General Staff system? Could it be that the General Staff of the South-West is the same as the German one? Jiang Fangzhen, who studied military affairs in Germany, is of course very clear about the German military system.

Cai Yi shook his head at his friend and continued: "The army in the southwest, strictly speaking, it can also be said to be the party army of the Communist Party. Its highest military leadership body is the Central Military Commission of the Communist Party of China, which is in charge of the military's operations, personnel, politics, logistics, equipment, and intelligence work through its four subordinate general departments, namely, the General Staff Department, the General Political Department, the General Armament Department, and the General Logistics Department. In a word, under such a system, there is absolutely no possibility of breeding warlords. ”

Speaking of this, this is also the only place where Cai Ye is dissatisfied with the Communist Party, he is a pure soldier, what is the party's leadership of the army, in his opinion, a soldier is a soldier, a political party is a political party, and the two should not be compared.

"If that's the case, then why did you stay here in Songpa?" Jiang Fangzhen obviously understood this friend's mind very well.

Jiang Fangzhen's question, Cai Ye did not rush to answer, after lighting a filter cigarette and taking a deep puff, he stared at Jiang Fangzhen with a pair of bright eyes and said: "It's very simple, because there is hope for China's rise here." ”

"Oh?" Jiang Fangzhen was even more surprised at this time, he couldn't be clearer about Cai Yi's personality.

Cai Ye didn't say anything, turned around and went to the study, and when he came back, he handed over the paper material he was holding in his hand to Jiang Fangzhen. Jiang Fangzhen took it and looked at it, and his face instantly became solemn. This is not an ordinary document, it is recorded by Xiao Mubai about the industrial strength of the world's major powers in 1911.

"You know what? Baili, you and Xiao Mubai are very similar in one thing, that is, you both have the same views on the outbreak of war between China and Japan. If you have been in contact with him for a long time, you will find that his dislike for Japanese people is in his bones. I asked him why, but he didn't. Cai Ye didn't care what kind of mood Jiang Baili was, he held a cigarette in his right hand and said to himself:

"We studied abroad together in Japan, and we have a general sense of the situation in Japan. You can also see the materials in your hand, in 1911, Japan's annual steel production was 300,000 tons. ”

"Yes, the Japanese have never stopped coveting our China since ancient times, since the Meiji Restoration, their wolf ambitions are even more obvious, although compared to the United States, Britain, Germany Japan is indeed nothing, but compared with our country, we are too far behind, so far, our country does not even have a decent steel plant." Speaking of these, Jiang Fangzhen was really heartbroken, and he was also angry with his misfortune.

"Hehe, but what you said earlier is right, but the last sentence is wrong." Cai Yi smiled very happily.

"Oh? Please also say so. ”

"Actually, my perception before was different from what you just said. However, since I joined the Communist Party and become a senior leader, I learned that as early as 1908, the Communist Party was preparing to build a project called 'Panzhihua' in the Huili and Liangshan areas on the border between Sichuan and Yunnan. Speaking of this, Cai Ye was delighted, he has received a new education, obviously he also understands the importance of steel to a country. Seeing his friend, he was also surprised, and continued:

"According to reliable sources, in two months, the first phase of the Panzhihua Iron and Steel Plant will be completed, and the plant will be able to produce 1.60~1.7 million tons of iron per year; The annual output of steel is 1.5 million tons. You know, this will be a large-scale steel complex that we design, manufacture and construct by ourselves, and it will be the largest steel base in southwest China through later construction. ”

Jiang Fangzhen was still digesting the information that Cai Ye had brought him just now, and he didn't expect that the layout of the Communist Party would be so far-reaching. 300,000 and 3 million are not comparable at all, and anyone will calculate this account.

"Matsupa, I want to stay." After coming back to his senses, Jiang Fangzhen said with a straight face.

"Haha, yes! I can't ask for it, I've been waiting for your words for a long time, I'll report when I turn around and recommend you to Zicheng. ”

Next, the two talked about a lot of topics, mainly military, as well as a lot of tactical topics, as well as the tactics of the southwest army's three-three system and four teams.

After saying this, Jiang Fangzhen's eyes were wide open and refreshing, but the pride in his heart was also re-condensed. The reception banquet in the evening is not how extravagant it is, but the members who come are all heavier. For Jiang Fangzhen's arrival, Xiao Mubai was surprised at the same time, but he also had a trace of joy in his heart. Not to mention the reputation of the person, but Xiao Mubai has a full understanding of this person's ability. What is the CCP lacking most now? It is talent, high-ranking military cadres. In this way, Xiao Mubai was even more determined to keep this person.

At eight o'clock in the evening, in the restaurant of the guest house, Cai Ye and Jiang Fangzhen came here on time, and Xiao Mubai and Yang Zhenhong, who had been waiting for them for a long time, did not have impatience on their faces.

"Baili, Songpo, you can be regarded as here, come into the table, just wait for the two of you." Seeing the figures of the two, Xiao Mubai greeted him from afar.

"Hehe, Zicheng, young uncle, I've been waiting for you for a long time." Seeing a few people waiting for the two of them, Cai Ye looked a little embarrassed.

"Not long after, actually, I'm only a little ahead of you." Yang Zhenhong said with a smile on his face.

"Okay, you're welcome, today's protagonist is a hundred miles! , everyone should be warmly welcomed. Xiao Mubai didn't care about it, and shouted vigorously.

At this time, Jiang Fangzhen walked up to Xiao Mubai and said with some twist: "Chief of General Staff Xiao, before entering the table, I have a reluctant request, and I hope you can approve it." ”

Before he spoke, Jiang Fangzhen was really a little apprehensive in his heart, but as soon as the words came out at this time, he became less uneasy.

"Oh?" This time it was Xiao Mubai's turn to be surprised, a humble gentleman like Jiang Fangzhen would have such a side.

"I hope you will approve my entry into the Southwest Revolutionary Army." Jiang Fangzhen said solemnly.

Hearing this, Xiao Mubai's heart was already happy, and he was still thinking about how to keep this person, but now it's okay, he actually took the initiative to send it to the door. immediately said: "The post of Chief of the General Staff of the General Staff, can Brother Baili be satisfied?" ”

Jiang Fangzhen was a little surprised by Xiao Mubai's words, his elegant expression began to move, his eyes were bright, he had always been the kind of person who said less and did more, nodded slowly, and agreed. If you want to say that the only person who still has an opinion on this, I'm afraid that Cai Ye is the only one who finally found a helper for himself, so he was poached by others.

In a happy mood, a meal is enjoyed by the guests and hosts.
