Chapter 411: Conditions in Nanjing
"Well, the disputed places with Nanjing have been put aside for the time being, and everything is based on the premise of the War of Resistance. The matter of the Yunnan-Burma Highway and the Yunnan-Burma Railway should be done sooner rather than later, and since Long Yun has also agreed, this matter will be easier to handle. ”
Jiang Li nodded, although the historical Yunnan-Burma Highway was completed, the Yunnan-Burma Railway, which played a greater role, was difficult to give birth in the final changes. The purpose of the Northwest to build the Yunnan-Burma Railway was not only to resist the war, but to throw it aside after the victory of the war. Perhaps after the victory of the Anti-Japanese War, the role of the Yunnan-Burma Highway will gradually decrease, but the railway can become a powerful output line for the influence of the Republic of China to directly radiate to Southeast Asia. The Republic of China spent hundreds of thousands of manpower at the beginning, and under the condition that the Anti-Japanese War government requisitioned a large number of young and strong laborers, it was hundreds of thousands of old and weak women and children who built this highway. The road is not only stained with their sweat, but also with blood. The Yunnan-Burma Railway, built by more than 300,000 people, was in vain in the end, and in this life, Jiang Li would never allow the same situation to happen again. After the military industrial system in the northwest grew up in the past few years of fighting against the Japanese army, the Republic of China after the victory of the Anti-Japanese War was by no means weak enough to be bullied.
"Okay, I'll let someone take charge of this matter as soon as possible, and strive not to delay the commander's big thing, this old man, I think we only have one channel to get resources from the outside world, if this road is built, there is no need to hang them on a tree." mentioned Lao Maozi's procrastination, Shao Lizi also said a little unhappily. So many materials are piled up in Vladivostok, after all, the northwest has spent money, but it is like scrap copper and rotten iron piled up in Vladivostok, which cannot have any substantial help to the great cause of the Anti-Japanese War in the northwest, but a lot of money has been spent, Shao Lizi is naturally unhappy.
"Alright. I've already asked someone to figure out a way for Vladivostok's supplies, and the problem will be partially solved by then. But what you said is right, people are under the eaves, they have to bow their heads, and there are still a lot of places where we rely on Lao Maozi's funding, and it is not a big deal to suffer a little bit of anger for the time being. In the final analysis. Or the number of machines we produce now is too small. ”
Jiang Li waved his hand, under the rule of Stalin's red tyrant, once the policy was established, the action would be very efficient, but some things that were not too much to mention on the table would drag on unimaginably. However, industrial machine tools, precision instruments are not said to be able to improve production if you want to, and the training of senior engineers is not an overnight thing, and now in various factories in the northwest. A master has to bring a dozen apprentices, an ordinary mechanic also has to bring a few new hands, all of them are almost running at full capacity, if it weren't for this kind of national war, everyone broke out with a high sense of responsibility, in peacetime, this is simply an unimaginable thing.
"Commander, how to deal with Nanjing's request to send planes over?" Yu Xuezhong said. The influence of the two generations of the Zhang family on the Northeast Army is indeed not small, and this time it should be the news that Nanjing deliberately released. Some generals of the Northeast Army also received the news, and for this reason, Yu Xuezhong made a special trip from Xi'an to Lanzhou, after all, it was a rare opportunity to let Nanjing relax.
"The number of planes is not even sufficient on the northern front, but the lion on the Nanjing side opened his mouth, and he wanted a hundred or dozens of planes at once. If we pull away a hundred or dozens of planes from the northwest, how will our battle line be maintained? As the deputy chief of staff of the Northwest Air Force Staff, Chen Honglu first opposed the tunnel. With the output of aircraft in the northwest at this time, according to the current rate of consumption of the war, it is still insufficient to meet its own needs, after all, no one will think that they have more fighters at this juncture. What's more, Nanjing will pull away twelve flying squadrons in the northwest at once. Almost all of a sudden, they wanted to take a third of the forces of the Northwest Air Force. Chen Honglu would not agree to anything.
"Commander Jiang, I also know that such a request is difficult for some strongmen, and the negotiations between the northwest and Nanjing can not be reached in a day or two, but it is rare for Nanjing to make a request, and now the matter of rescuing Han Qing has taken a turn for the better, and we can't help but be in a hurry." Yu Fengzhi said apologetically to Jiang Li.
"Pulling away twelve aviation squadrons directly from the Northwest Air Force may lead to the loss of control of the battle situation in the north, and I can't agree to this, this time in order to let Nanjing make concessions on the issue of the young marshal, the conditions that the Northwest secretly promised Liu Xiang are almost the equipment of a group army. But the most important thing is that these equipment have not yet shaken the foundation of the Northwest Army, so in this regard, I cannot agree to the deadline set by Nanjing for the time being. Jiang Li shook his head and said.
"What does the commander think of Nanjing's requirements?" Yu Xuezhong asked.
"Nanjing is now nothing more than a sky-high price, the conditions are slower than them, time drags on, and the detention of the young marshal is not beneficial to Nanjing. Commander Yu, favors belong to favors, but they can't shake the foundation of the northwest, since the commander promised that he would try his best to rescue the young marshal, he naturally would not break his promise. Feng Zhanhai knew that it was inconvenient for Jiang Li to refuse directly, so he said out loud.
"In fact, an airplane is only tens of thousands of yuan, not a big expensive tens of thousands, more than 100,000, more than 100 million, and it will not exceed more than 10 million. I don't think Mrs. and Commander Yu should be in a hurry about this matter, and I will think of some more ways to increase orders from the Soviet Union, and now there will be more than a dozen aviation squadrons, but since Nanjing wants to negotiate, it will certainly not mention some conditions that cannot be met in the northwest, as long as the time is slowed down, give me more than half a year to a year, the northwest will produce some, plus buy some from abroad, and I can also make up these twelve aviation squadrons. Jiang Li thought for a moment and said.
"But how things develop, Commander Jiang's efforts for Han Qing, Feng Zhi is grateful, but unfortunately there is no way to repay it, which makes Feng Zhi very confused."
After hearing Jiang Li's reply, Yu Fengzhi got up and bent down to salute Jiang Li, and Yu Xuezhong got up immediately.
"Madam, Commander Yu doesn't need to be like this, I'm still a trustworthy person, and I said before that I would try my best to save the young marshal, so naturally I didn't just talk about it. The young marshal disregarded his personal safety and wanted Chairman Chiang to fight the war in unison, no matter what happened in the past, the current behavior is enough to make people respect. It would be unfair to him to put him under house arrest, and here I promise you that Nanjing can only lock up the young marshal for a while, and it will never be locked up for a lifetime. ”
Jiang Li waved his hand and said, "Everything on the Northeast Army's side is focused on the War of Resistance, which is also what the young marshal wants. However, Commander Wu fought very well on the Pingjin front line, and his will to fight was very resolute, but what I am worried about now is that because of the factions, the military orders are not smooth, which affects the battle situation. I told the Northeast Army directly, it may not be easy to use, Commander Yu, as one of the pillars of the Northeast Army, has a good relationship with several other army commanders. The Northwest will not be appeased, and the young marshal and his wife will not want to see it. (To be continued.) )
