"The matter between the central government and our Sichuan army, it is not your turn to question the surname Jiang." As soon as Jiang Wenhao opened his mouth, Pan Wenhua, who was Liu Xiang's right-hand man, immediately patted the table and stood up.

"It's not the turn of the surname Jiang's questioning, can it be your turn? If you really think that your wings are hard, let's do it with real knives and guns, so that some people can recognize their catties! Jiang Wenhao is well-known for his high vision in the Northwest Army, and there are few people who can see many generals in the Northwest Army, not to mention Pan Wenhua, a figure who can only be ranked in the Sichuan Army.

"Sit back, noisy, what kind of system?" Jiang Li scolded Jiang Wenhao and said.

"Brother Jiang, what do you think of me going east to resist the war?" Liu Xiang's face also sank slightly at this time, although he knew the strength of the Northwest Army, but he was pushed by Jiang Li's subordinates, and he couldn't pull off his face for a while. Although Jiang Li stopped Jiang Wenhao just now, without Jiang Li's instructions, could Jiang Wenhao have the courage?

"Brother Liu wants to lead the Sichuan army to the east, in principle, I naturally have a supportive attitude, but the Anti-Japanese War is nationwide, and the rivers in East China are dense, which is not suitable for the rapid penetration of the Japanese mechanized troops, and it is relatively easy to delay the speed of the Japanese army. As Wen Hao said just now, once Pingjin is lost, the Japanese army's mechanized troops can roll south. Therefore, the war in the north also needs support. As long as the central government and Sichuan can solve my problem, let alone agree with the Sichuan army to go east, it will not be difficult to provide some weapons and ammunition. Jiang Li's fingers were lightly clasped on the table, and he didn't care about Liu Xiang's stiff face. Generally, this kind of unpleasant look can only be seen by the weak looking at the strong. If the Sichuan Army can have the combat power and scale of the Northwest Army, Jiang Li will only bring humiliation upon himself when he comes to Sichuan.

"Really? I don't know what support Brother Jiang needs from Sichuan? If only my brother could do it. Naturally, he will not refuse. Seeing Jiang Li gave him a step down. Liu Xiang naturally took advantage of the situation. After all, the confrontation between Sichuan and the northwest is not appropriate at this time. More importantly, the equipment of the Sichuan Army at this time was indeed too poor, and Liu Xiang coveted the weapons of the Northwest Army for a long time.

"It's not just Brother Liu, but you have to agree with Nanjing." Jiang Li looked at Kong Xiangxi again.

"Commander Jiang, please speak, there is a worry of the destruction of the country and the extinction of the species at the moment, and the whole country should naturally solve each other's difficulties and unite to fight the war together." Kong Xiangxi also said at this time.

"First, Nanjing released Zhang Xueliang. I promised the Northeast Army that if it can't be done, it will not be good for the Northeast Army, and besides, Zhang Xueliang was detained in Nanjing, and the Northeast Army was unstable, which was also very unfavorable to the current situation of the War of Resistance. ”

"Second, you also know that the northwest is vast and sparsely populated, and it just happens that Sichuan is densely populated, and the population of the entire northwest is not as large as one Sichuan. Now there is a serious shortage of people in the northwest, and there is a shortage of troops. It is also necessary for Sichuan to provide some help, and secondly, the development of mineral deposits in Sichuan is currently only in the northwest and can make the best use of it, and I hope that Sichuan can provide comprehensive assistance. Of course, I, Jiang Li, am not a person who only enters and does not leave, as long as Brother Liu nods his head, we will talk about the materials provided by the northwest to Sichuan later. ”

"It's fine." Liu Xiang nodded without much thought.

"Commander, the Central Army is fighting so hard in Nanjing, I don't believe that they can withstand the pressure all the time Zhang Xueliang. It's a complete waste for us to give Liu Xiang so many ordnance. On the way back, Jiang Wenhao complained to Jiang Li, "Liu Xiang really thinks that his Sichuan army is somewhat capable, as long as our troops go to occupy Chengdu, he knows how ridiculous the Sichuan army he relies on is." ”

After some redeployment, at this time, the Northwest Army in northern Sichuan had as many as five divisions, organized into a group army, although there were no tanks, but there were two squadrons of aircraft, although they were all old-fashioned aircraft, but compared to the Sichuan army, it was also a great weapon. This is also the reason why Jiang Wenhao does not think very highly of the Sichuan army.

"The central government can't be too badly defeated in Shanghai, at least not let the Japanese army hit Nanjing in one go, and I hope that the Sichuan army can play a part of the role."

Jiang Li didn't pay much attention to Jiang Wenhao's complaints, although the war situation in North China was tense at this time, after the Northwest moved the Fengtian Arsenal over, it was strengthened several times, and there were some planned accumulations in the past two years, and it was not too tense for a while. If Liu Xiang could hold out for a while longer, he would have given Liu Xiang 30,000 rifles, more than 20 million rounds of ammunition of various types, more than 400 light and heavy machine guns, and more than 260 mortars of various types and anti-aircraft artillery guns. It is always worthwhile to delay the footsteps of the Japanese army for a while longer, in exchange for the fact that Nanjing's tragedy in history does not recur. Such a huge amount of arms supply will naturally enable Liu Xiang to make considerable concessions on the Sichuan issue, and it is inevitable that Chairman Chiang will be given some eye medicine by the way.

After all, even if Liu Xiang went out of Sichuan, he was not completely at ease with Jiang. can expand his team, for Liu Xiang, who has always lacked weapons, these provided by Jiang Li have almost irresistible temptations. It's just that when I think of Liu Xiang also exerting pressure on Nanjing to release Zhang Xueliang because of this batch of arms, Chairman Jiang's expression will be wonderful. But this is not something for Jiang Li to consider. If it was because Jiang refused to let go, Liu Xiang would not be able to get these arms. Even if Liu Xiang is still willing to accept Nanjing, it is difficult to guarantee that his subordinates will not have ideas.

"Take a telegram to the commission, I'm afraid that there will be some changes in Sichuan." Kong Xiangxi didn't expect Jiang Li to come to this hand at all, the equipment originally promised to Nanjing, because of Nanjing's delay, actually gave Liu Xiang at this time, and asked Liu Xiang to put pressure on Nanjing together, the Sichuan army was originally a huge faction, and then received arms funded by the northwest, and its power was even more inflated. After a short discussion, Jiang Li put aside Nanjing and discussed with Liu Xiang in private, although Kong Xiangxi learned about it, there was nothing he could do.

"This Jiang Li is really unfocused, he wants to completely break with the central government!" Another young man said indignantly.

"There are so many warlord leaders in the country, and which one of them is willing to convince the central government. External worries and internal troubles, not the same. Kong Xiangxi shook his head and sighed, at present, Yan Xishan is more than enough to defend it, and he is not enterprising enough, and he wants to guard his hometown in Shanxi, and only the northwest can support the entire northern war situation for the time being. However, once the Northwest really blocked the Japanese army in North China south of the Yangtze River, through this war, the power of the Northwest would really develop to the point where it could not be contained, and it would become inevitable that there would be another Dabao dispute with Nanjing in the future.
