At the foot of Wuchang East Lake Mo Mountain, the mountains are surrounded by water. This is a place with excellent scenery, the dignitaries of the national political axe built dozens of private houses of different styles around Moshan, and the love nest of Lao Jiang and Song Meiling is located in it, and the name is actually called "Rest House".

The rest house is a three-story Western-style small building, with a large living room facing the East Lake on the first floor. In and out of this hall, important people from the north came and went. General Zhang Xueliang, the No. 2 real power figure in the northern country, came here today to visit Lao Jiang and his fiancée Song Meiling, accompanied by Luo Yaoguo.

At this time, Lao Jiang was proud of the spring breeze, holding the arm of the royal sister and sitting on a soft sofa, the corners of his mouth were hooked high, and his eyes were narrowed into a slit. Sister Song acted as a bird, leaned lightly on Lao Jiang, and tried to put away her imperial sister's coercion, leaving only a faint trace that no one else could notice except Luo Yaoguo.

Zhang Xueliang, the eldest young master of the Optimist faction, pulled Zhang Yaoguo, who had a bitter gourd face, and Luo Yaoguo, who had an expressionless face, to sit side by side on another sofa.

Several people were talking back and forth without saying a word, and both sides were careful about their words, cautiously probing, and refusing to reveal their true intentions at once.

Zhang Xueliang's heart is the most entangled now, and the current situation of their father and son can be described in three words: "trapped". Well, not by stocks, but by what is said to be China's number one position. For this chair, the old Zhang family doesn't know how much money they have spent, how much scheming they have spent, and of course there must be a behind-the-scenes deal of "betraying the country for glory", but others don't know. As a result, I entered Yanjing City and sat on the chair, only to know that it was a chair with a bad ass. And this chair is easy to sit on, but it's not so easy to get down.

is covered, so naturally you have to find a way to untie it. There are generally two ways to untie the set, one is to cut the position, which is called stop loss. The other is to increase the stakes, also known as: margin call.

Now the father and son of the old Zhang family have serious differences on the issue of unraveling. Daddy Zhang Zuolin refused to admit defeat, and insisted on gambling again, not only to make up the position, but also to overdraw! Well, it is to borrow the capital from those usurious Orientals, and then launch a large-scale warlord melee, intending to settle the battle in one battle, and give Wu Peifu, Duan Qirui, Yan Xishan, and Feng Yuxiang's gang of disciples and grandchildren a spoonful of stew. Then use the stolen money to repay my own usury.

Son Zhang Xueliang's proposition is to cut the position out, hehe, he is better at this matter, and he always cuts blindly when he shouldn't. This time, Xiao Zhang's solution is to simply pick a child, and the big guy will return to his hometown in the Northeast, and then go back to the kind of happy life where he has no worries about food and clothing, and he doesn't have to worry about money. However, this method is indeed a bit irresponsible, but it is the usual style of a certain young master.

Zhang Xueliang has been listening to Luo Yaoguo and Sister Song Yu's gossip with his surname, and the two chatted with relish about the campus life in the United States, and from time to time they also popped out a long paragraph of English dialogue. Lao Jiang pretended to understand, and nodded with a smile. When Luo Yaoguo and Song Meiling began to talk about stocks, Zhang Xueliang finally couldn't hold back and began to get straight to the topic.

He coughed and interjected: "The situation in China today is chaos in the south and the north, and my father believes that the way out lies in the north to restore order and establish authority like the south, and only in this way can the country have a future." And Wu Peifu, Duan Qirui, Yan Xishan, Feng Yuxiang and GCD are all obstacles to the restoration of order in the north. This time, we plan to eliminate them for the sake of the country, and then the North and the South will unite together to resist the great powers. ”

Although Zhang Xueliang does not approve of this method, since his father has not passed, this son must always listen to his father. So he went south this time to test the attitude of the Kuomintang and see if they would send troops to interfere in the war in the north?

Lao Jiang still nodded with a smile: "It is also our party's wish to restore order in the north, but now the forces of the anti-Feng factions together seem to be no smaller than the Feng army." If they are forced too quickly to form an alliance, and the outcome is undecided, I think it is better to gather all factions and form a joint political axe, and everyone will discuss something, how about it? ”

The joint political axe is the political axe that unites the black pot, and everyone has a share, so if something happens, it is also a shared responsibility. Zhang Xueliang thought about it slightly, and understood the joints, and secretly admired Lao Jiang's wisdom and wisdom, this method really thought well, it was much better than picking his own son and leaving, but most of his father would not agree.

Zhang Xueliang frowned slightly: "The method of uniting the political axe is certainly good, but I am afraid it is still difficult to succeed in China." If nothing else, I'm afraid that the army will not be able to unite, right? The factions will inevitably continue to hold the army and control the territory. Is it meaningful that the so-called joint political axe can only mean that the military and the government cannot be unified and the government cannot be implemented, but it is just a temporary postponement of the war? ”

Luo Yaoguo picked up the teacup, took a sip of tea, and smiled: "Why is it meaningless?" Doesn't the Feng department need to recuperate and sort out the finances? Now the 'Feng Dayang' coupon has fallen to ten yuan for one current ocean, right? According to this trend, I am afraid that it will have to fall by seven or eight percent as soon as the war starts. ”

Feng Dayang is the paper money issued by the Fengtian official silver number, and Feng Xiaoyang together called "Feng Ticket", originally a dollar face value of Feng Dayang for a silver dollar, but to the second direct Feng War before it was already more than three yuan for a piece, and now another year has passed, has fallen to ten yuan for a piece of the current ocean. On the other hand, the salaries of the officers and men of the Feng were all paid by the ticket, so the depreciation of the ticket dealt a great blow to the morale of the army.

Zhang Xueliang was silent for a while. Now their father and son are covered, in fact, they are trapped by financial difficulties. Yanjing's central political axe treasury can starve rats to death, and there is nothing but IOUs. The only fiscal reform after the Zhang family came to power was to sort out the old debts and issue new debts, and the bonds issued by the original Yanjing political axe and the foreign debts owed were deferred, and at the same time, new debts were borrowed at high interest rates.

"Now all factions in China control the taxes on their own turf, and the central government has no revenue except for a few provinces controlled by our army. In this case, how do we get our finances in order? Unless you are willing to take out ......" Zhang Xueliang had a gloomy face, glanced at Luo Yaoguo, and did not say any more.

Luo Yaoguo hurriedly smiled: "You can't increase your income, you can still save money!" At present, there are as many as 1 million soldiers in various factions in the north, and the monthly military expenditure is more than 30 million, right? It is not enough to spend such a mountain of gold and silver. This time, we take advantage of the happy event of Jiegong and Miss Meiling to invite everyone to Wuhan to promote the reduction of troops and peace among all factions in China. It's good to give the people two or three years of peace, so that everyone can also take a breath. ”

"Layoffs? Do you want to lay it off too? Zhang Xueliang finally heard some topics of interest. In any case, it is always beneficial for the Feng Department to reduce the number of Chinese soldiers by the Kuomintang.

Old Jiang smiled, his eyes revealing a hint of cunning, he took Zhang Xueliang's question and replied: "Of course, our Kuomintang must take the lead in reducing troops to show our sincerity in promoting peace. We now have forty-five divisions. If the Feng army can agree to negotiate a truce with the various factions and reduce the troops together, then we will take the lead in reducing twenty-five divisions, leaving only twenty divisions. ”

Cut more than half of the division at once! It seems that the right wing of the Kuomintang really does not want to go on the Northern Expedition now, but wants to live in peace.

Zhang Xueliang was silent again, he gently turned the teacup in his hand, and secretly pondered the Kuomintang's proposal. To tell the truth, this proposal to cut troops is extremely beneficial to the Feng faction, and unlike the Kuomintang, the Kuomintang basically has no "miscellaneous cards" now, and those who want to be cut are all descendants, and the knife is cut on the meat. And Feng Jun has a lot of miscellaneous cards in his hand, just take this opportunity to clean up, retain the essence of the lineage, and cut down the miscellaneous cards, which can not only save military spending, but also cut off dissidents, which can be described as killing multiple birds with one stone. And if the Feng army can have 300,000 well-equipped, well-trained elite soldiers will be enough to dominate the northern country.

Zhang Xueliang smiled: "Your proposal is very good, we are willing to consider it, but this matter is very important, and it is not for me to be the master, and I still need to ask my father for approval." In addition, the reduction of troops should not only involve our Feng army and your party, but also the rest of the northern factions, including the GCD. Let's all disarm together, so that there can be real peace. This matter will have to be mediated by your party, and if it can succeed, it will be a blessing for the country. ”

Speaking of which, it is already the biggest promise that Zhang Xueliang can give, after all, he is not the head of Fengjun now, not to mention that he is behind his back. Lao Jiang and Luo Yaoguo both knew the joints. Lao Jiang stood up, walked up to Zhang Xueliang and held his hand tightly, and said with a smile: "Brother Han Qing really understands the righteousness, if China's leaders are like Brother Han Qing, our country will not be far from prosperity." In the future, the affairs of the central government and the north will be bothered by Brother Han Qing, and our party will definitely be a strong backing for Brother Han Qing in the south, so let us jointly safeguard national sovereignty. ”

Luo Yaoguo looked at the two of them with a deep brotherly relationship, and said in his heart: Hehe, in this time and space, Zhang Xueliang is the center, and Lao Jiang is the place. Well, with a patriotic central government like Zhang Xueliang and a patriotic army like Fengjun, the future of the country must be bright
