At the end of 1936, the precursors of turmoil had begun to appear in the world that year, and the national freedom and independence movements around the world were in full swing.

And the great powers of the world are also stepping up their scramble for new colonies. In this year's Europe, Italy had just invaded Ethiopia, Britain had just changed kings, and there was a civil war in the west.

In order to test the bottom line of the European powers, Germany caused trouble everywhere. Britain, France, and other countries also turned a blind eye to Germany's illegal entry into the Rhineland region, and they also turned a blind eye to it and allowed it to do whatever it wanted.

Such a weak performance made Hitler think that Britain, France and other countries, like his political opponents, were just useless tricks, so Hitler developed his military power even more unscrupulously.

In this way, Germany quickly broke through the shackles imposed on the Western countries, and signed not only an alliance agreement with Italy, but also a military alliance agreement with Japan, called the Anti-Communist Agreement.

At this time, Germany's economy was gradually coming out of the trough because of the imitation of the economic recovery policy of the United States. The standard of living of the German people has improved significantly.

Hitler's prestige became more deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, and the German people increasingly supported Hitler's leadership, believing that under Hitler's leadership, Germany would eventually rise again among the nations of the world, and that the excellent Aryan nation was destined to become the leader of the whole world.

Because of the latest tank and submarine design drawings provided by Li Tie, the German military's armament strength has been greatly strengthened compared with its previous life.

Today, Germany has an army of 300,000 men alone, far exceeding the 100,000 limit mentioned in the armistice signed at the end of World War I.

At the end of that year, Roosevelt, who was far away in the United States, successfully ran for president of the United States again, and a strong economic recovery plan has led the American people out of the trough of the economic crisis.

Also at the end of the year, King Edward VIII of England, who had just reached ten months, was angry and passed on to his younger brother George V because the British royal family did not agree to marry an English widow. He can be regarded as a classic love story for the whole world, who loves the country and loves the beauty even more.

Fortunately, the knighthood certificate signed by Edward VIII conferring on Viscount Li Tie was still valid, and at the same time, the Changeling Rat had succeeded Li Tie in the many countries of Southeast Asia as the assistant governor of his British colonies.

And as a strong backing for the Variety Mouse, Li Tie sold all over the world and continued his money-making plan. Cheap goods from all over the world were replaced by Huaxing Company with the logo of Huaxing Company and sold to the world.

Nowadays, all over the world, as long as there are people, there are Huaxing products, I heard that even African cannibal tribes are using knives produced by Huaxing Company, and they are eating iodine-containing and zinc-containing salt produced by Huaxing Company.

Many African tribal leaders also take pride in smoking a box of African Lion cigarettes produced by Huaxing Company at their gatherings. At the same time, the major civil wars in various parts of China had subsided, and only the Red Army in the northwest was still actively resisting the encirclement and suppression of Commander Chiang.

And Commander Chiang, who had just quelled the Liangguang Incident, was inspecting the 300,000 troops who had just arrived in Luoyang, Henan Province. looked at the well-groomed elite soldiers in front of him. Looking at the star-studded scene behind him, the current Commander Jiang is really in high spirits.

The Red Army, whose henchmen were in great trouble, was driven to the barren land of the northwest, and they could no longer think of making big waves. In Commander Chiang's opinion, the Red Army was already grasshoppers after the autumn and could not reach it for a few days.

Think about the Liangguang rebellion in the south, and let yourself clean up without blood. Now the Northwest Army and the Northeast Army have formed a form of semi-encirclement oppression against the Red Army.

As long as he exerts more effort, he can completely destroy the Red Army. As long as the Red Army was completely wiped out, he would return to clean up the warlords who still listened to the edicts and did not listen to the propaganda.

What Liu Xiang, Yan Xishan, Feng Yuxiang and others were all wiped out. After he destroyed these warlords, he waved his army north to drive out the Japanese and achieved immortal feats.

After completing the above great causes, his life will be complete and happy, and from then on he is destined to be immortal and become no less than Tang Zong, Song Zu and other historical celebrities.

In a few decades, hundreds of years, history will evaluate itself higher than the previous founding emperors. Every time he thought of this, Commander Jiang felt that his heart was happy, and his mood would be extraordinarily good.

Therefore, when inspecting the team in front of him, he rarely shook hands with every soldier in the front row, and from time to time he had to say a few warm words.

Looking at the excited soldiers in front of him who could die for themselves at any time, Commander Chiang thought that everything in his life had been perfect so far.

However, the only fly in the ointment was that Zhang Xueliang, commander-in-chief of the Northwest Suppression of Bandits, and Yang Hucheng, deputy commander-in-chief, were unfavorable to the Northwest Red Army's several suppression of bandits.

The battle plan of the two to attack the Red Army several times was frustrated, so they lost tens of thousands of horses, and I heard that the morale of the two armies is now low, maybe it is time for them to let their Central Army play.

However, Commander Jiang still wanted to wait, he still had the idea of consuming some more strength of the two armies, and now his descendant troops, the 300,000 Central Army led by Chen Cheng, Wei Lihuang, and Jiang Dingwen have basically arrived in Luoyang.

These 300,000 troops can join forces with the Northeast Army and the Northwest Army to attack the Red Army at any time, and the Northwest is under a bitter cold, and this time the Red Army has no way to retreat.

Just when Commander Jiang was still thinking about what kind of reason to prevent Zhang Xueliang and Yang Hucheng from doubting his intentions, he planned to quietly remove the two of them from their positions as commanders-in-chief of the Northwest Suppression of Bandits.

Zhang Xueliang came to Luoyang again and reported to Commander Chiang on the war situation on the Northwest Front, and at the same time explained to himself that the morale of the officers and men of the Northeast Army and the Northwest Army was generally not high, and he hoped that Commander Chiang would go to Xi'an to boost morale in his spare time.

Hearing Zhang Xueliang's request, Commander Jiang immediately left the 300,000 troops in Luoyang and personally led a group of government dignitaries, and the army generals happily went.

On the first day of Commander Chiang and his entourage arriving in Xi'an, at the welcome reception organized by Zhang and Yang, the two sides had a very unpleasant quarrel, because Zhang and Yang once again asked themselves in front of many Chinese and foreign reporters to stop the civil war and go north to resist Japan.

In front of so many Chinese and foreign reporters, Commander Jiang couldn't attack at will, so he could only politely refuse the request of Zhang Yang and the others. However, the fighting style of the two of them made Commander Jiang very injured.

Didn't you see so many Chinese and foreign reporters at the banquet? Don't you see that I've politely declined your request? Why are you still stalking?

Do you still have the demeanor of a general of a country, and do you want to leave a little affection for me, the ruler of the Republic of China? Commander Jiang fiercely hated Zhang Xueliang and Yang Hucheng for their ignorance.

So when the banquet was over, Commander Chiang immediately called his confidants and literati and asked them to draft an article on the impeachment of Zhang and Yang, and prepared to launch an impeachment propaganda war against Zhang and Yang in influential newspapers across the country.

Commander Jiang thought that Zhang Yang and the others proposed to stop the civil war at the welcome banquet and unanimously to the outside world, just to embarrass themselves, to make themselves unable to step down, and to smear the face of the leader of a country, and it seemed that his idea of wanting to seize the military power of the two was correct.

In Commander Jiang's view, after several years of attrition, the spirit of both the Northeast Army and the Northwest Army is much worse than before. Therefore, he wanted to remove the two from their posts as deputy commander-in-chief of the National Army and commander-in-chief of the 17th Route Army without bloodshed.

And after dismantling a part of their armies, they were transferred to Fujian and Anhui respectively. When the two armies leave their fundamental land and reach the south, they are tigers who have lost their claws, and they are not free to do whatever they want?

In the following days, Commander Chiang began to frequently go to the front lines of the Northeast Army and the Northwest Army to express his condolences to the soldiers. In order to let Zhang and Yang relax their vigilance, Commander Jiang even put his own guards outside Xi'an, and only brought a guard battalion with him to stay in Xi'an Huaqingchi.

In addition to condolences to the front-line soldiers every day, Commander Chiang also wooed Zhang and Yang, poured a lot of confusion into them, and fooled them into launching a fierce offensive against the Red Army in the northwest again.

Originally, they were already moved to see Zhang Yang and the others, but on December 9, something happened in Xi'an that was unpleasant to Commander Chiang.

Originally in honor of one or two. Nine Movements. The citizens of Xi'an spontaneously held a rally. In order to maintain law and order in Xi'an, the military and police wanted to leave a good impression on Commander Jiang who came to Xi'an, and forcibly drove away the people of Xi'an who came to the rally.

Of course, the common people fought on the basis of reason and refused to disperse and go home, and as a result, the unscrupulous special forces and police opened fire on the gathered crowd and killed a schoolboy.

The brutal scene infuriated the crowd at the rally, which led to even greater clashes with the military police and secret services. Commander Chiang, who heard the news, immediately ordered Zhang Xueliang to lead his army to suppress it.

As a result, the Northeast Army who arrived at the rally site was sung by the masses and cried with a song "On the Songhua River". These soldiers of the Northeast Army, who had lost their hometowns, finally joined the petition.

And Zhang Xueliang also complied with the will of the people, and immediately went to Huaqingchi to petition Commander Jiang again. However, he was again angrily rebuked by Commander Chiang.

Commander Chiang ordered his guards outside the city to enter the city and arrest the petitioning students and civilians. In front of Zhang Xueliang, he gave an order to use machine guns to strafe if necessary.

When Zhang Xueliang heard Commander Jiang's order, he immediately stepped forward to stop it, shouting: "The Chinese do not beat the Chinese, let alone slaughter the progressive students." ”

However, Commander Chiang had lost his mind and shouted loudly: "These brainless reactionary students, not to be dealt with with with by machine guns, are not enough to quell the civil strife." ”

Looking at the guards of Commander Chiang, who led the order. Zhang Xueliang left Huaqing Pool in frustration. At the moment when Zhang Xueliang returned to the Zhang Mansion in Xi'an, he ruthlessly asked the guards to call Bai Fengxiang, and at the same time, he secretly informed Yang Hucheng to come to the Zhang Mansion quickly and discuss important matters.
