"Since Chairman Chiang agreed to the idea of a unified war of resistance, the previous grievances and grievances with Nanjing should also be put aside, I discussed it with Commander Jiang, and agreed that the future unification of the war of resistance is more important than everything else, and anyone who wants to destroy this front will be the enemy of the Republic of China and the enemy of the northwest. This time, the Northwest Army rushed to Tongguan and was ready to fight against Japan at any time. At the end, Yang Hucheng looked at Chen Cheng and the others and said, "Now that the Japanese army occupies the mountains and rivers of our Republic of China, even if the Japanese army does not make difficulties, the Republic of China will definitely not be able to sit back and watch the Japanese army sit in the northeast and invade the south at any time!" The Japanese army will not withdraw from North China and Northeast China, and a Sino-Japanese war is inevitable! ”

"If the Northwest Army is determined to resist Japan, our Northeast Army should also help and strive to expel the Japanese army from the Northeast!" Yu Xuezhong tied his hands and said, more than 200,000 Northeast Army troops have been displaced and have suffered from losing their homes, Zhang Xueliang has cried to Chairman Jiang several times, and wants to take the Northeast Army back to his hometown, hundreds of thousands of Northeast Army are homesick, and they do not hesitate to detain Chairman Jiang.

"As long as it is an anti-Japanese force, the Northwest Army welcomes it at any time!" Yang Hucheng smiled when he heard this, compared with Zhang Xueliang, Yang Hucheng had a higher opinion of Yu Xuezhong, a cadre. Presumably, with Jiang Li's prestige in China, he is more attractive to the Northeast Army than Nanjing

"Niang Xipi, Jiang Li, this Jiang Li again!" The committee member who returned to Nanjing was furious, and just now scolded He Jinhan, who had instigated the Blue Coat Society to suppress the northwest by force, and dismissed Qian Dajun from his post. While he was arrested in Xi'an. Immediately jumped out and wanted to suppress it by force. Do you want him Jiang to die in the chaos? As soon as Zhang Xueliang escorted him to Luoyang, Jiang immediately detained him. I thought that Feng Qinya's side would only be captured by Yang Hucheng of the Seventeenth Route Army, but he didn't expect Jiang Li's Northwest Army to kill in the air and make such a big move in Xi'an. It is clear that he is supporting Yang Hucheng, and the large headlines that appear in the newspaper can make people feel the murderous spirit of this steel hero. It also made Jiang feel a little afraid in his heart, Nanjing still did not have such a powerful armament!

"In your opinion, do you want to let Zhang Xueliang go now?" Jiang looked at Chen Cheng, who had not been behind him for a long time.

"Commission, the Northeast Army will soon be torn apart. Now put Zhang Xueliang back, this crisis will be eliminated soon, and Zhang Xueliang even dares to detain the chairman of the committee for the Anti-Japanese War, Jiang Li is now standing up with great fanfare, let Zhang Xueliang go back, with his character, I am afraid that he will not care who is higher or lower than Jiang Li's status, and if he flatters Zhang Xueliang for a word or two, I am afraid that he will be able to get the full assistance of the entire Northeast Army. Chen Cheng objected.

"In fact, the current situation of the Northeast Army is scattered, and it doesn't matter whether Zhang Xueliang is let go or not." Next to him, Kong Xiangxi also said. Even if Zhang Xueliang is released at this time, the situation will not be better. The situation will not get worse because of this. Because it is all up to Jiang to decide whether to let it go or not.

"Then leave him in Nanjing for the time being." Chairman Jiang said with a calm face. "This time, the Northwest Army openly forced the central government to express its position, and now it has deployed the army to Tongguan. If it really fights with Japan in the future, the Northwest Army is likely to take advantage of this to wantonly attack the central government's policy. This makes the central government extremely passive in public opinion, how many people can have a good plan? ”

Last time, Shimono caught such a handle for his opponent, and although he was able to use his prestige to forcibly implement the strategy of seizing the outside and securing the inside, this is not without criticism. Seeing that the Japanese army first failed to invade Sui, there will inevitably be greater actions in the future, and the limelight has been robbed by the northwest, and in the long run, the people's hearts will really go to the northwest. And at this time, the northwest does have the strength to deal with Nanjing. At the time of the Northern Expedition of the National Army, the strength of the troops was not superior to that of the Beiyang Army, in the final analysis, it was still the desire of the people, once it was completely lost to the northwest in the general righteousness, it would be really difficult to recover the general trend later.

"If the northwest does not resist Japan and attack the central government, there are only two ways to deal with it, and it is not advisable to take shortcuts, the first is to deal with the doubts of the northwest head-on, send a large army to the north, and organize a war against Japan. This is the best counterattack for those who doubt the center. However, now that Nanjing's finances are struggling and there are many internal contradictions, it is not easy to talk about the day without consensus. Another method is to divide the war zone, let the northwest, Yan Xishan, Han Fuyu and others be in charge of the war in the north, and the central government is responsible for integrating the forces in the south. Chen Cheng analyzed.

In the past two years, a large number of professors and professionals in Nanjing have gone to the northwest, and even some soldiers have been dug up to the northwest, which is not a good phenomenon, indicating that the northwest has indeed attracted some people's hearts. Blindly retreating is not the way to go, otherwise the people's hearts will all run to the northwest, and it is also not advisable for the central government to take the lead in fighting the Japanese. ”

"It's a big trouble, let me think about it again." Jiang was also a little hesitant for a while, after all, the stakes involved in this complete collection were too complicated. In fact, he was also quite moved by Chen Cheng's proposal, how powerful the Japanese army was from the previous few battles can be judged one or two, although the army in his hand has been strengthened, but in essence it is no different from the German armor division sent to Shanghai in the Battle of Songhu. So the result of playing against the Japanese again is still about the same, if not a little more bleak. The development of Japan's military strength in recent years has been almost visible to the naked eye. Of course, the Northwest Army is also advancing by leaps and bounds, rushing to the forefront every time it fights, but it is getting stronger and stronger.

But if you want to be with the Japanese army for a long time, it is still a little short, the Northwest Army, the Northeast Army, and Yang Hucheng's 15th Route Army are also a large force, so that they will not be defeated by the Japanese all at once, plus there are Sun Dianying, Pang Bingxun, Song Zheyuan, and Yan Xishan in the north, which can always support for a period of time. It would be even more perfect if the Japanese could use the power of the Japanese to weaken the strongest Northwest Army. The central authorities are not yet ready for war, and they will have at least a year or two to catch their breath. Since Jiang Li has even built a mechanized brigade in the northwest, he has assembled hundreds of cars, 40 tanks, and more than 200 three-wheeled motorcycles and an artillery regiment towed by cars. I guess I can also get along with the Japanese. Nanjing must also build such an army, and not a local warlord must be allowed to go ahead of Nanjing. (To be continued.) )
