"Brother Congwen, I'm looking forward to the stars, and I'm looking forward to the moon finally bringing you." After Yang Hucheng heard that Jiang Li had arrived, he personally came out to greet him, holding Jiang Li's hand affectionately, and seemed to have known Jiang Li for many years.

"Brother Yang is in the northwest, I have long wanted to visit, but I have not been available, and now the affairs in Gansu are almost handled before I take time." If he didn't know that Yang Hucheng was a family person, and thought that he was also interested in men, Jiang Li withdrew his hand without a trace after shaking hands with the other party, as a modern person, holding hands with a big man for too long is not suitable after all.

"Follow Brother Wen compared to me, where can I be called a mighty northwest, I am smiling, I am smiling." Yang Hucheng's eyes narrowed when he heard Jiang Li's words, Jiang Li was undoubtedly telling him that he would definitely succeed in Gansu. But soon, Yang Hucheng's expression returned to his usual smile and smiled. "I prepared a table for Brother Congwen, let's get drunk today!"

"It's fine." Jiang Li nodded, this time he came to Xi'an not simply to see off Feng Yong, but just by the way.

Shaanxi's famous gourd chicken, stuffed money cabbage, warm waist silk, wolfberry and white fungus are full of dishes, and there are several Fengtian specialties specially prepared for Jiang Li. It can be seen that Yang Hucheng's chef has wasted a lot of thought for this table.

"I want to thank Brother Yang for his hospitality." Jiang Li smiled and pulled out the chair table.

"Brother Wen is slapping me in the face, and coming to Xi'an is like coming to his own home, polite." Yang Hucheng pretended to be displeased and said.

"I don't know what Brother Yang thinks of the current situation in the Republic of China?" Drink over thirty years. The dish has five flavors. After a lot of idle talk. Jiang Li secretly scolded Yang Hucheng for being really calm, so he took the initiative to ask.

"Brother Congwen asked a bit extensively, and the foolish brother is not good at how to answer." Yang Hucheng said meaningfully.

"It's just the two of us here, you might as well open the skylight and say something, for Nanjing, we are all side lines, and we are the objects to be weakened. But now the Japanese army is invading on a large scale, for the sake of the country. We can't start a large-scale conflict with Nanjing, so as to avoid expending our strength in a civil war, does Brother Yang think so? Jiang Li said.

Yang Hucheng stared at Jiang Li's eyes, and saw that Jiang Li didn't look like he was tempting, so he also nodded and said, "That's the reason, the foolish brother also thinks that now that the enemy is present, we should unite all the forces that can be united, drive the Japanese army out of the country, and then sit down to solve the internal contradictions." The meat is in the pan. No matter who wins or loses, it is still the Republic of China's own people who take it. If the Japanese smashed the pot, everyone would not have a good life. Foolish brother, I have been studying for a long time, I don't know if Brother Congwen has a good plan for the current situation? ”

"I don't dare to say it, but I also have one or two opinions, this time I also came here to make peace with Brother Yang in the future, and it is better to say something to each other than to meet each other on the battlefield in the future." Jiang Li also said politely, "The most harmful thing in the Republic of China today is naturally Japan, as for Nanjing, although we want to get rid of us and wait as soon as possible, we can't be rash, and really fight with Nanjing to let the Japanese pick up the ready-made cheap." My 15th Route Army started with resistance against Japan, my hometown is in Mukden, and I want to fight back to Mukden in the future, but wherever there are Japanese troops, the 15th Route Army will never avoid fighting. But this war has to be fought, and life has to be passed, and I estimate that there will be a few years before the all-out war with the Japanese army. ”

"Brother Foolish, but I heard that Japan has now begun to increase its troops in Shanghai on a large scale, and the Japanese army in Mukden has also moved south to Jinzhou, why does Brother Congwen think that there are still a few years before the war breaks out?" Yang Hucheng asked.

"Because the Japanese army that went south from Jinzhou was weak in succession. When I left Mukden, I demolished most of the Nanman Road, and there were still no less than 100,000 anti-Japanese troops in Jilin and Heilongjiang, and it would take at least two or three years for the Japanese army to rebuild the railways and clear out the anti-Japanese forces in the northeast. Otherwise, relying on Shanghai as a breakthrough point alone will only turn into a war of fueling the oil and will not be able to extend the scope of the war to the entire Republic of China. Part of the reason why the Japanese army in Mukden went south to Jinzhou was to control the southern pass and avoid being attacked by Zhang Xueliang's Northeast Army when they occupied Jilin and Heilongjiang. ”

"Somewhat." Yang Hucheng nodded undeniably and said.

"Although there are still a few years, for the current Republic of China, time is definitely not sufficient, so Brother Yang and I must seize the opportunity to prepare for a full-scale war of resistance, which is also the purpose of my visit."

"I want to hear about it."

"I demolished the Fengtian Arsenal from Fengtian to Lanzhou, and I believe Brother Yang has also heard of it. In about a year, the new arsenal will be completed in Lanzhou and put into operation in turn. At that time, the arms can also be part of the Shaanxi army, the two sides will expand the army together, and at the same time jointly fund the construction of a railway to the Central Plains, one is to facilitate Shaanxi and Gansu to send troops to the Central Plains in the future, and at the same time, it is also convenient for those people who have been displaced by the war, and the factories will be withdrawn to the northwest to retain the vitality of the War of Resistance. Brother Yang should know that once the war with the Japanese army starts, there will be a big melee of hundreds of thousands of people, once the fight starts, how strict the logistical needs are, once the ordnance, materials, and supplementary soldiers cannot be transported, it means that the war will be lost, compared with the east, our northwest transportation is too backward. ”

Jiang Li said agitationly, if Yang Hucheng does not nod and agree, it will obviously not be able to build a railway through Shaanxi. And this railway is the key to the future war of resistance, otherwise Jiang Li will expand his army in Gansu, and there will not be enough supplies, and he will only be sent to death if he wades through mountains and rivers to rush to the Japanese army. If Yang Hucheng disagrees, Jiang Li will have to find a way to attack Shaanxi, even war, of course, with Yang Hucheng's reputation in history, this person is also patriotic.

"Brother Congwen is reasonable, but Shaanxi's life is not easy, not afraid of Brother Congwen's jokes, the foolish brother maintains the 17th Route Army and tightens his belt to live, this railway is a money-burning thing, from Gansu to the Central Plains, tens of millions of moves, the foolish brother can't take out such a large sum of money."

Jiang Li couldn't hide it from him about building an arsenal in Lanzhou, I heard that Jiang Li wanted to pull him to build the railway together, Yang Hucheng's head shook like a rattle, he was not like Lu Jianzhang and Chen Shufan, and naturally he didn't accumulate tens of millions of family wealth, and the cost of building a kilometer of the railway was tens of thousands of yuan, and he also needed the 17th Route Army, and he would expand the army later, where would he have spare money to do this.

"What if Gansu finances the construction of this railway?" Jiang Li said indifferently.

Hiss! Yang Hucheng gasped and asked in surprise, "Brother Wen has abundant funds to this point?" "If you take out the income of the whole Shaanxi for a year, you can't build such a railway.

"It's inconvenient to disclose the source of funds to Brother Yang for the time being, someone has to do it." Jiang Li shook his wine glass and said. (To be continued.) )
