"No, Chief of Staff, if you go, Ma Hongkui will definitely not let you go! I think it's better to send someone casually and greet him, whether he agrees or not. Liu Masheng objected.

"Huh." Liu Cheng smiled slightly and said: "You can rest assured about this, he Ma Hongkui doesn't have the courage to do anything to me, as long as the base area can be transferred as soon as possible." I wouldn't be in any danger! ”

…………………………… Yinchuan, General Headquarters of the 17th Group Army.

Liu Cheng was led by an adjutant to the hall.

The adjutant solemnly said, "Staff Officer Liu, please take a seat!" Our commander will be there soon. ”

Liu Cheng sat down as he said, and a middle-aged man about forty or fifty years old strode into the hall surrounded by two entourages.

Liu Cheng saw the three three-cornered stars on his shoulders representing the rank of general, and knew that this person was Ma Hongkui, so he immediately stood up and saluted the visitor: "Liu Cheng, the contemptible chief of staff of the Reading Army, has seen Chairman Ma!" (Chairman of Ningxia Province)"

Ma Hongkui replied with a smile on his face: "It turned out to be Staff Officer Liu of Reading Lijun, Ma Mou has lost his welcome, don't be weird!" ”

"Hehe, Chairman Ma is really tormenting the little brother when he says this." When Liu Cheng saw Ma Hongkui open his mouth to call his brother, he immediately changed his words.

After the two sat down, Ma Hongkui first asked people to serve two cups of hot tea, and then asked, "I don't know what Brother Liu is doing this time?" I heard that your reading army has just captured Taiyuan and recovered most of Shanxi, which is really gratifying! ”

"Thank you, Chairman Ma." Liu Cheng hugged his fists and said: "That's the case, I came to Chairman Huima on the order of our military seat, and we decided to move all the arsenals in the base area to Taiyuan and establish a new arsenal base in Taiyuan!" ”

As soon as Liu Cheng's words fell, Ma Hongkui's face changed drastically, and then he said with an unkind face: "I'm afraid it's not appropriate for your ministry to do this, right?" When the arsenal was established, I had a quarter of the shares, and I don't agree with you doing this. ”

"Chairman Ma, yes, although you did make a lot of efforts when you established the arsenal, you must know that all the workers and technicians and expenses of the arsenal are all borne by our reading force. And the investment of 30 million oceans you promised at the beginning has only paid less than one-third of it so far, but in the past three years, we have not lost all kinds of advanced weapons produced by our arsenal, Chairman Ma, and if these equipment are picked up and sold to Chairman Jiang or Yan Laoxi, I am afraid it will be more than 10 million oceans, right? Liu Cheng asked rhetorically.

When Liu Cheng said this, Ma Hongkui also had to admit that in the past three years, the advanced weapons he got from the Reading Force have been fully equipped with three integrated divisions, and they have been equipped according to the standards of the A division.

The current troops under Ma Hongkui are not the Ma family army with soil equipment and low combat effectiveness, but the current Ma family army is strong and strong, with 100,000 elite soldiers. The 17th Group Army is worthy of its name, and Ma Hongbin's 81st Army was completely overturned by Ma Hongkui.

Although Zhang Mingyu did not hand over the aircraft and advanced tanks to Ma Hongkui, he was forced to produce some imitation T-28 units produced by the tank factory, which totaled about 50 units in three years, and with the addition of armored vehicles, Ma Hongkui even formed a class A armored tank regiment.

Although Liu Cheng also had some truth in what he said, Ma Hongkui still said: "Brother Liu, what you said is not unreasonable, but your arsenal is the land provided by me, and I also provide you with a large number of grain, flour and other materials every year, all of which add up to probably not less than tens of millions of oceans, since you insist on moving out, I will not force you to stay, everyone should gather and disperse, leave half of the factory equipment and workers, and you move the rest." ”

After listening to Ma Hongkui's request, Liu Cheng sneered in his heart, but he shirked on the surface: "This little brother can't call the shots, I need to send a telegram to our military seat and ask him for instructions, if he agrees, your little brother can agree." ”

"Hmm!" Ma Hongkui nodded and said, "It's okay, then Brother Liu will be wronged by me for a few days, and after we have negotiated these matters, it will not be too late to go back." Come on, prepare a room for Staff Officer Liu, and entertain you well! ”

Liu Cheng had expected this, and smiled happily: "Then trouble Chairman Ma!" ”

"Hehe, no trouble, no trouble, it's better for my brother to stay a few more days, so that you and my brother can get together for a few more days!" Ma Hongkui said with a smile.

After Liu Cheng left, Ma Hongkui immediately summoned the adjutant and said: "Order Ma Hu to lead a division and a cavalry brigade to rush to Ma'anshan District, Hongliugou Town, and immediately surround the Yuli Army Arsenal there, no one is allowed to enter or leave without my order!" (Ma Huo is the little brother) "Yes! The adjutant suddenly complied, and immediately took the order and strode away.

After Liu Cheng came to Ma Hongkui to arrange a room for him, he immediately asked the accompanying communications soldiers to set up a radio station, although Ma Hongkui's people were closely monitored outside the door.

However, Ma Hongkui did not restrict him from sending electricity to Zhang Mingyu, and soon the three accompanying communication soldiers set up a radio station, and Liu Cheng dictated: "Send a telegram to the military seat, just say, Ma Hongkui's request to detain half of the equipment and workers of the arsenal, I have temporarily shirked it, but in order to prevent him from secretly sending troops to attack the base area, the military station should immediately make arrangements to make all plans." ”

The communications corps sent the message as fast as he could.

In the city of Taiyuan, read the military headquarters of the army.

Zhang Mingyu is asking Einstein to learn Chinese chess, and after two days of study, Einstein has been able to initially familiarize himself with the rules of chess, and is enthusiastically killing Zhang Mingyu.

At this time, Fang Jun walked in with a nervous expression in his hand, and said uprightly: "Military seat, the chief of staff is in a hurry!" ”

"Oh?" Liu Cheng called, most of the time it was something wrong, Zhang Mingyu said awe-inspiringly: "Read! ”

"Yes!" Fang Jun quickly opened the telegram in his hand and read: "In order to contact Ma Hongkui, he asked to detain half of the factory equipment and technician workers, and now he has to shirk his duties, but I am afraid that Ma will take the opportunity to sneak attack, and I hope that the military department will take a countermeasure as soon as possible." ”

After listening to this, Zhang Mingyu was slightly moved, and then said to Einstein: "Dear Mr. Einstein, I have something to deal with, and I can't play chess with you for the time being, I'm really sorry." ”

"Oh! It's okay, you go and get busy, I'm tired and want to take a break. Einstein said a little tiredly.

"Hmm!" Zhang Mingyu nodded and said, "I'm out of company." With that, he turned and left.

As he walked, he said to Tie Niu: "Tie Niu, you immediately go and inform Zhang Biao and Ling Tianbao and ask them to come over for a meeting immediately." ”

"Yes!" Tie Niu gladly accepted the order and immediately turned around and left.
