"Commander, please rest assured, the Northeast Army's will to resist the war will not be weaker than anyone else's, as long as the commander of the War of Resistance is one day, the Northeast Army will support the commander for one day. If someone destroys the situation of the War of Resistance because of his own selfish interests, we will personally take him out and send him to a military court without the commander opening his mouth. Yu Xuezhong said solemnly.

"That's good, I'm not afraid to tell you ugly things, in fact, my purpose is the same as Nanjing, I don't want to be in addition to the Northwest Army in the future, there will be the Northeast Army, and the Shaanxi Army. Nanjing wants to turn you into a part of the Central Army, and the Northwest wants to turn you into a part of the Northwest Army. But unlike Nanjing, Wu Keren and Jin Kuibi dare to fight, and if they fight well, they will not bury their talents. Now the country needs such people. Including Liu Duoquan, He Zhuguo, including you, will also get the opportunity to go to the battlefield. More than a year ago, the Northwest Army did not lack the strength to sweep the north, and the reason why it did not do so was because at the juncture when the Japanese army was about to invade China in an all-out way, it consumed the vital forces of various factions. Jiang Li looked at Yu Xuezhong, who wanted to retire, and said.

"According to the commander's current development ideas, sooner or later he will fight against Nanjing?" Yu Xuezhong did not make any evaluation of Jiang Li's words, in fact, Chairman Jiang had always done this before, just in the name of the Central Committee, and Jiang Li did not have the name of the Central Committee, but he took another path, accumulating his own strength, but acting more directly and clearly. And the capital accumulated in the northwest in recent years, at least in the eyes of the Northeast Army, is extremely terrible. Even if it can't sweep the north, even the central army will not be able to stop it from Gansu all the way to Henan, but I am afraid that it will be another Central Plains war. At this time, Yu Xuezhong only knew that there were at least 2 mechanized brigades in the northwest, but they cooperated with the air force in the northwest. There are also hundreds of thousands of ground troops. Enough is enough.

"Maybe one day. Maybe not. The Northwest has built its own tanks, aircraft, and a relatively complete military-industrial system. If this battle continues, Nanjing's hole cards will become fewer and fewer, but the military industrial system in the northwest can be strengthened in the war. Maybe it's going to be a real merger, maybe there's going to be a fight. However, before that, whoever wavered to the situation of unanimous resistance was the enemy of the northwest. There are talents in every faction. Useful, can be used by the country, obsessed with factions, unwilling to integrate, will be abandoned in the end, the scourge of the Republic of China lies in the factional disputes of warlords in various places, although we started from the warlord faction, but all this should also be ended in our hands, otherwise even if the Japanese army is repelled this time, the Japanese army will make a comeback sooner or later. These questions. We can't leave it to our children and grandchildren to solve it, and we can't let our children and grandchildren face another Japanese invasion. What I said today. You can also bring Liu Quanduo and Wu Keren. ”

"I'll bring the words." Yu Xuezhong nodded, and did not make any statement on Jiang Li's words for the time being, but the waves in his heart were far more violent than any previous time he went to the battlefield. Compared with Nanjing's co-optation and differentiation, the sword went sideways, but the northwest at this time was on a posture, and the dignified array was even more irresistible.

"Commander, a large amount of ordnance was provided to the Sichuan army before, prompting Liu Xiang to put pressure on Nanjing, which can be regarded as returning Mrs. Zhang's favor, but this time another batch of aircraft in Nanjing is an unnecessary expense, if this force is used in the north to resist the war, the effect will be better." After Yu Fengzhi and Yu Xuezhong retired, Feng Zhanhai didn't understand Jiang Li's generosity.

"Have you ever heard of the principle of water in a wooden barrel, how much water a wooden barrel can hold does not depend on the longest wood, the decision is in the hands of the short wood." Jiang Lidao.

"Commander's words are very profound, not to mention Chief of Staff Feng, even I haven't figured it out." Shao Lizi smiled bitterly.

"As far as the current situation in Shanghai is developing, Nanjing will definitely not be able to hold on, and Chairman Chiang has already begun to move a large number of industrial equipment in the east inward. Now the Japanese North China Dispatch Army and the East China Dispatch Army are attacking the Republic of China one by one. Even if I had withstood the Japanese offensive in Henan, if Nanjing had been defeated too badly and had retreated all the way, the Japanese East China Dispatch Army would have been able to flank Henan with the North China Front. This is extremely detrimental to the Northwest. Therefore, when Nanjing was weak, it was also necessary to pull them along, so that the Japanese army in East China was powerless, at least not to send too many troops to attack Henan with the Japanese army in North China. Jiang Li stood up and walked to the large map on the wall, "Henan, as a rare province with a large population in the Republic of China, is also an important place in the Central Plains, and it is absolutely impossible for the northwest to be completely captured by the Japanese army, and this will be one of the main battlefields for the northwest and the Japanese army." To the north, it is surrounded by the Yellow River, and to the south, it is isolated by the Yangtze River. The Central Army that retreated to Wuhan, as long as it could hold Wuhan or hold on to Wuhan for a year or two, would be enough to build the Central Plains fortress group in the northwest. ”

"Once Wuhan is lost, the original Japanese army in East China can go straight up the river, and then take the Pinghan Road to join the North China Front Army in the Central Plains." Feng Zhanhai patted his thigh and stood up suddenly.

"Therefore, we can't let the Central Army lose too quickly and too embarrassed, and we have to give them a certain amount of time to build the Wuhan defense line. No matter how bad it is, it must stick to Wuhan for a while. Gain enough time for the Northwest Army to prepare. For the time being, the Central Army did not lack troops, and what was most lacking was the superiority of firepower in the air against the Japanese army. Jiang Li was quite satisfied with Feng Zhanhai's speed of awakening, after all, he came from the war, and most of the senior generals of the Northwest Army at this time struggled step by step from the bottom, and they couldn't stand up at the critical moment of the Japanese invasion without any strength and courage to lay down the current situation.

"Well, as long as Vladivostok's machinery arrives, the aviation industry in the northwest will once again get great momentum, and after it is gradually put into production, it will be enough to support the current situation."

Although the Soviet side dragged on, it was man-made, and Jiang Li was confident that he could still solve it by thinking of some methods. Isn't there still the Yunnan-Burma Highway, the construction time of the historical Yunnan-Burma Highway was a few months late, and the material preparation in all aspects was insufficient, and it still took only about a year to build this road under extremely difficult conditions. Even if the Soviet Union dragged on for a year, it was still not too long compared to the eight-year war of resistance in history. The Northwest didn't put up with it for a while. However, as the situation in Europe becomes more and more tense later, presumably the Soviet Union will not be able to calm down as it is now.

"In addition, the pace of the Japanese army's increase in troops is increasing, and Liu Zhi on the Henan side is very dissatisfied with our Western Army's measures to collect grain and taxes on the spot in Henan." After solving the biggest doubt, Feng Zhanhai also put his mind at ease and smiled. (To be continued.) )
