At the end of November 1931, the city of Jinzhou was covered by a sudden heavy snowfall. As the saying goes, the snow is a good year, but how many people are still looking forward to the next year's harvest in this war-torn era? The devils in the north may invade Jinzhou at any time, and Jinzhou's defense is often mentioned at high-level military meetings. However, when it comes to mentioning, effective action has not been seen for a long time. The defense of Jinzhou was still a new 7th Division of Xu Qingyun.

Prevent it, Xu Qingyun has nothing to say, but Huang Tao pesters Xu Qingyun like a fly every day, and the logistics pressure is great. Food and medicine are nothing, but what about guns and ammunition? You can't have 20,000 people in one division eat and drink every day without training, right? A gun without bullets might as well be a burning stick! In this regard, Xu Qingyun has already sent three telegrams urging him to supply ammunition. This was undoubtedly unwise at the time. This battle hasn't been fought yet, why is this ammunition consumed so much? Can't eat it all? In the face of such doubts. Xu Qingyun could only prevaricate on the grounds of daily training consumption. It's not prevarication, it's true, but such reasons don't seem to solve the problem. You have to consume four or five divisions of ammunition for training alone, and this is still training, so if you really fight, even a mountain is estimated to be consumed!

He Yingqin, Minister of Military Affairs and Vice Chairman of the Beiping Military Branch, can be described as having a big head in the face of the newly formed Seventh Division, which is "waiting to be fed." He knew Lao Jiang's attitude towards Japan, but guarding Jinzhou was also Lao Jiang's intention. After careful thinking at the beginning, I felt that Lao Jiang was putting a teacher here to make a show, so as not to lose the support of the people. But how did he know that it was the soldier led by the legendary Xu Erzi? He Yingqin also learned from the previous intelligence about this Xu Er's style in the Beida Battalion, yes, it was a blow to the devil, but he had a regiment that consumed several divisions of the Central Army, did he fight like this? Today's military industry doesn't have such a large production capacity, all like his way of playing, it is estimated that half a month after the start of the war, all troops have to fight with devils with big blades! Besides, this ammunition has been given to you as a new Seventh Division, what do the other brother troops think? You are a new Seventh Division, and you are covered in iron, and how many nails can you make?

In fact, this is also a balance. The newly formed Seventh Division is newly established, no one knows what kind of combat effectiveness, and which one dares to put the treasure on you? Other troops also need to be trained, why don't people want this or that? However, He Yingqin also has his own difficulties, on the one hand, he must actively prepare for the War of Resistance, and on the other hand, he has to make peace with the Japanese to avoid the expansion of the war, how to grasp this degree? As for what kind of leadership is well-organized, he doesn't dare to hope for the country's generals who are famous, and it would be good if he didn't fall into the name of a traitor. In fact, at this time, he is already a quasi-traitor, who doesn't know that you Minister He is a pro. Day? The name of this traitor made him feel like a thousand pounds, and a cold sweat broke out every time he thought about it.

It stands to reason that Zhang Xueliang, as the chairman of the Beiping Army Branch, should respond to Xu Qingyun's new Seventh Division, after all, he is a soldier under his own command, and he is still guarding a choke point like Jinzhou. But before the incident, Lao Jiang's two telegrams made Zhang Xueliang quite heartwarming. There is no other content, endure humiliation, and focus on the overall situation of the country. Overall situation? It's a good thing to say, after the army withdrew to the Guannai, Zhang Xueliang couldn't face the questioning voices of his subordinates, this kind of torment is not as good as fighting with the devil at the beginning, even if the Northeast Army is defeated, it is better than being spurned by the fathers and elders in the Northeast who are alive now. With his own strength, even if he is defeated by the Japanese, he will not let the Japanese please him. But I also blame myself for being too young, and it is difficult to grasp the current situation thoroughly, and playing with someone like Lao Jiang is not comfortable. You see that it has been more than two months since the incident, and Lao Jiang He has said a few good words for himself?

Disheartened and lazy, he actually got a big cigarette, and if this thing was stained, even if it was rich, the country would have to go bankrupt in the end. He Yingqin took on the political affairs and military burdens of the military branch alone. He Yingqin saw Zhang Xueliang's description of the withered appearance, and couldn't help but sigh in his heart: How did Zhang have such a son with a big beard? What a tiger father and a dog! Just play with the government? If Lao Jiang sees the current appearance of the young marshal, not to mention how comfortable he feels, there is one less king, and the power of the central government is concentrated in a part, and hundreds of thousands of troops who have participated in the Central Plains War are not a small force.

He Yingqin looked at Xu Qingyun's ammunition list, and really wanted to see how this Xu Erzi was consumed. That's how I got the idea of going to Jinzhou to inspect. As soon as the news came out that the vice chairman, who held real power, was going to Jinzhou for inspection, everyone was shocked. What is Jinzhou? That's to say that you can fight if you fight, are you going to die as a vice chairman of a military branch? The so-called daughter's body doesn't stand under the dangerous wall. Regarding the obstruction of his subordinates, He Yingqin only responded: If I make any mistakes in Xu Qingyun's territory, will his Xu family still have a good life? Dare to put his life on Xu Qingyun's treasure.

At this time, Lao Chiang was also stimulated by the military actions of the Japanese, and now the country is still unable to unify the government order, which makes Lao Chiang very headache. Let's fight, the great powers are ready to come up and take a bite at any time. Don't fight, how can such a detached state be able to keep the enemy out of the door? The biggest headache for him is that there is no modern defense industry in China, so he can't rely on imports for everything, right? Isn't that the same as putting your neck under someone else's knife? So the establishment of its own modern defense industry system was put on the agenda. And Lao Chiang set his sights on Germany in Western Europe. In addition to Bismarck's iron-blooded policy, there are several other reasons why he worships anomalies. After World War I, Germany had no influence over its overseas colonies, and there was no empire against China. Unlike the Soviet Union, there is no political interest in China, so there will be no head-on conflict between the two governments. At the same time, Chiang believed that there were many aspects of German history that China could emulate, and that German reunification could serve as a model for his unification of China. Therefore, Lao Chiang regarded Germany as the first choice for development. As a result, China and Germany gradually entered the "honeymoon period".

Just when He Yingqin was about to inspect Jinzhou, Xu Qingyun ushered in Su Rui, a prospective daughter-in-law, as well as a large number of guns and ammunition purchased from Germany, which undoubtedly relieved the urgent need for the new Seventh Division, which was worried about ammunition. 7,000 original Mauser 98K rifles, 120 Czech light machine guns, 2 million rounds of ammunition, and grenades. projectiles, a number of grenadiers. This made Xu Qingyun pick up Su Rui and bite her face fiercely, completely forgetting that there was a female soldier wearing a second lieutenant uniform next to her. Grass, subdue temptation! Xu Qingyun's two eyeballs almost fell out. "Report to the division, Chu Xiaoran, director of the secret telecommunications department of the department, is ordered to report!" Chu Xiaoran knocked his legs, and his voice was crisp and pleasant. Facing the pair of wolf eyes around him that were glowing with green light, Chu Xiaoran proudly straightened his chest, this is capital, the capital that makes women proud. Director of the Cryptography Division? Xu Qingyun calmed down before he remembered such a thing, and when he applied for ammunition from the military branch a few days ago, he also asked if there was any secret message to send one down. If you go to the division and headquarters to do it yourself, the suspicion above will be more serious, so just volunteer to save trouble.

Seeing that his man was stunned by the other women, Su Rui pouted and said in Xu Qingyun's ear in an inaudible voice: "It's Minister Kong's distant nephew and nephew, don't you have any crooked thoughts!" With that, he turned his head and took Chu Xiaoran's hand and ran towards the residence that Xu Qingyun had already prepared for her. Xu Qingyun scratched his head, did Kong Xiangxi really have such a niece and nephew in history? For his second daughter, Kong Lingjun, who was "famous in later generations" and made a fortune in the country, was like thunder! If he can climb the big tree of Finance Minister Kong Xiangxi, won't his plan be 50% successful? Xu Qingyun stared at Chu Xiaoran's back and thought, but the way he was thinking about big things was completely like a pig brother in the eyes of the people on the side!

Let's not talk about whether you can climb it, even if you climb it, where is the military production line built? If you look at the development situation of later generations, it seems to be safer to choose in the southwest, but now there are more than six years before the outbreak of the official Anti-Japanese War, and the production line is selected in the southwest when the light transportation is a big problem! Hey, it seems that this golden finger is not easy to move. If Xu Qingyun wants, he can draw a large sample of the Tiger tank of the Germans! But what about drawing? I don't have that military industrial strength! Carrying a huge treasure before you have the strength is tantamount to suicide.

As for the military purchase to be transported to Beiping first and then transferred to Jinzhou, Xu Qingyun can be said to be worried, what if it is intercepted by the Military Commission? You must know that at this time, the government will never be soft when it sees good things. Why do you need so much equipment for a new editor? And behold, the original German Mauser of one water! And Xu Qingyun still purchased weapons privately without the permission above, what do you want to do? If the government intercepts it, Xu Qingyun has no way at all. Originally, it was planned to use the British merchant ships to transport them to Huludao for a direct landing, but considering that the Japanese fleet was rampant on the sea, it was better to transfer it to Jinzhou via Tianjin and Beiping. Moreover, this batch of arms was donated to the newly formed Seventh Division in the name of Xu Yang, how can it be said that Xu Erzi is also the only seedling of the Xu family, and it is understandable that Old Man Xu has a special care point.

"Don't worry, no one dares to grab your bones. Three days later, Minister He will come to Jinzhou to inspect, and the arms will arrive together! Chu Xiaoran said with a smile after dinner. This Minister He has become the "transportation captain" of his Xu Erdi! When Xu Qingyun reacted to Chu Xiaoran's words, the second daughter had already laughed like a lady and ran away. The next day, He Yingqin's security work was listed as the top priority of the Seventh Division. The Japanese will certainly not miss this great opportunity. After Huang Tao resigned from his post as director of secret telecommunications, he could temporarily relax because of the arms problem, so he nervously devoted himself to intelligence work. If He Yingqin, the big Buddha, had nothing to do in Jinzhou, no matter how big the Xu family's business was, it would be wiped out. The so-called people fight but officials, that's the reason!
