Chapter 293: Chen Tiaofu's decision
"That's the reason, besides, the northwest is so remote from Nanjing, it is not enough to meet its own needs, and it will not compete with Nanjing." Seeing that Chen Tiaofu was relieved, Zhou Xuexi was overjoyed, and hurriedly beat the snake and said with a stick, "It is true that Nanjing is the central government, but what Commander Jiang does is also for the country and the people, and he is developing industry in the country, is it necessary to distinguish Nanjing from the northwest so clearly?" At present, there are many people and there is a lot of strength, and in the face of the Japanese invasion, isn't Commander Jiang fighting more than anyone else? ”
"Since Brother Deyuan is interested, I think it's okay to arrange it this way, the support for industry in the northwest in the past two years is unprecedented in the history of the Republic of China, if it weren't for Mingjun, your side has been arranged, I would also choose to go to the northwest." Wang Xiaoxu also nodded yes.
"Okay, I'll go to Lanzhou first, if I negotiate with Commander Jiang in person, I have to ask Hou Debang to buy an extra set of equipment overseas, when will the funds from Commander Jiang's side be in place?" Chen Tiaofu nodded, and then looked at Zhou Xuexi again.
"I will prepare to talk within two months, otherwise I will not break my word in front of a few people even if I sell the family property of the Zhou Group." Zhou Xuexi hurriedly assured when he heard this. "I think Manager Chen is still on his way recently, and Commander Jiang is eager to find talents. Maybe it will take less time to get the funds in place than I expected. ”
"Okay, I don't have anything to pack up when I'm engaged in technology, so I'll leave for Lanzhou tomorrow." Chen Tiaofu nodded.
"It seems that Old Man Zhou really plans to move the Zhou Group to the northwest this time." After the matter was negotiated, after seeing Zhou Xuexi leave, Wang Xiaoxu said with a smile.
"Old Man Zhou is right. Pingjin is not peaceful now. We at Wynn also have to plan ahead. Originally, I thought it was best to move to Nanjing, but after Mr. Zhou said so, it is best to divide a part of it to the northwest, although the northwest is a little poorer, but Commander Jiang has a good reputation, pacified the situation of the northwest army, and the support for industry is better than Nanjing, and the road is built. Setting up factories and immigrants have done a good job, and after more than ten years, they can be developed. To be honest, if it weren't for the fact that the work in Nanjing had been almost done, I would have really wanted to go to the northwest to have a look. Fan Xudong said with emotion.
"It's no pity, the sulfuric acid plant with an annual output of 50,000 tons can be built in a year or two, let's see if Nanjing does better, or Commander Jiang's determination is greater." Chen Tiaofu said with a smile. From the bottom of his heart, he would rather be optimistic about Jiang Li than Nanjing. From the willingness to contribute, it can be preliminarily judged that Fan Xudong ran around in the south for two or three years to set up this matter, while Jiang Li raised the money himself to invite people, and the determination of the two sides to set up a sulfuric acid plant was not at the same level at all. Fan Xudong has no choice at this time, but he does.
……………
"At this point, it often depends on the will of both sides to persevere. Nanjing was blindly worried about the expansion of the war, and the Japanese army attacked North China. He delayed his strategy of suppressing the Communist Party and shook the foundation of his rule. However, Japan is not very easy to fight, if Nanjing and us can increase their strength, the coalition forces of Li Du and Ma Zhanshan in the north, and the volunteers from all walks of life can also reduce considerable pressure. The Japanese army was difficult to care about, and fought on two fronts. In this respect, we can sign a more dignified armistice. It's a pity that tens of thousands of soldiers were killed and wounded, and in the end they lost Rehe, and the next time the Japanese advance could reach Pingjin. Wang Tiehan stood on the winding mountain road and looked at the verdant mountains and forests at the foot of the mountain, and said with a regretful expression.
"I can't move, my 29th Army was originally holding on to a breath, and when I went north to fight against the Japanese invaders, I had to cross Beiping overnight, so as not to make people think that it was a group of people called Huazi. During the Great Wall Anti-Japanese War, if it weren't for the help of the elder brothers, I am afraid that the 29th Army would have been unable to maintain it for a long time. It's better to enjoy the shade under the big tree than the old brother of Chaozhi. Song Zheyuan shook his head and smiled bitterly, "Until now, nearly half of the casualties are still a trivial matter, and there is no place to make up for the consumption of ammunition and food. ”
"Yes." Wang Tiehan also sighed, even Song Zheyuan, who was quite determined to resist Japan, said so, not to mention other troops. The Provisional 1st Army is backed by the northwest, and its guns and ammunition are steadily replenished, even if it is aircraft and tanks, it can be requisitioned, and there are several forces that have this confidence compared to the Provisional 1st Army. "After the Great Wall War, the Japanese will stop for a while, and when they digest the Northeast and Rehe, I am afraid that we will have to fight side by side again."
"Compared with Nanjing, I am more willing to partner with the 15th Route Army." Song Zheyuan smiled when he heard this, and then said, "The Japanese army's advance has not stopped, after occupying Rehe, not only the three eastern provinces, I am afraid that Chahar will not be spared, I don't know what the elder brother of Chaozhi thinks of the situation in Chahar?" ”
"For the 15th Route Army, whoever led the anti-Japanese army in Chahar was better than the Japanese army occupying Chahar. However, Nanjing does not see it that way, Chahar has changed at the time, and the 15th Route Army can only do not favor Chahar at most, but it will not obey Nanjing's dispatch. ”
Wang Tiehan's eyes moved and said, it is not a secret that Feng Yuxiang went north to Chahar last year, the Northwest Army still has some foundation in Chahar, Song Zheyuan was also one of the thirteen Taibao under Feng Yuxiang in his early years, and he was very loyal to Feng Yuxiang.
"That's what Commander Jiang meant?" Song Zheyuan reacted very sensitively to the meaning of Wang Tiehan's answer to the 15th Route Army, and asked.
"Well, I've exchanged views with the Commander." Wang Tiehan nodded in agreement, and at the same time that Nanjing and the Japanese were negotiating to end the battle on the Great Wall, the Chahar Alliance was already about to come out. He specifically consulted Jiang Li on this matter.
"It's so good, for the friendship between the elder brother of Chaozhi and the 15th Route Army, Song is unforgettable. In the future, the 15th Route Army will have a place where Song will be used, and Song will saddle before and after the horse. Song Zheyuan said to Wang Tiehan.
"In the future, when the 15th Route Army once again raised its division to the north to fight against the Japanese invaders, it fought side by side with Brother Song." Although he had a good relationship with Song Zheyuan at this time, he could only listen to this kind of talk before and after the saddle, and he couldn't take it seriously. However, Jiang Li also looked at the 29th Army, which was quite resolute in the War of Resistance, and instructed Wang Tiehan to get closer to the 29th Army, after all, an army like the 29th Army must choose to rely on one side of the forces in the future.
"It's a deal." Song Zheyuan nodded seriously. (To be continued.) )
