Zhang Xueliang knew that the Soviets seemed to be replacing them with new tanks and selling their old tanks all over the world, but it was very helpless that the performance of Soviet tanks in the Soviet-Finnish war was really unsatisfactory, so there were not many buyers, the Soviet army had 16,000 light tanks and armored vehicles to sell, but the Northern Provisional Nationalist Axe was only willing to buy it at the price of scrap steel, Zhang Xueliang didn't expect Zhang Xuewu to buy more than 6,000 units quietly? What a terrible deterrent it would be!

In fact, Zhang Xueliang forgot a very critical question, that is, Zhang Xuewu's original intention of not expanding the scale of the armored forces? One is the problem of oil, the other is the problem of maintenance and repair, and the other is the problem of personnel! These three problems constrain the size of Zhang Xue's armed armor troops.

Cultivating a qualified armored soldier requires at least initial Chinese and two years of intense training, the surname of the iron cavalry medium main battle tank can be really extraordinary, but it is not as simple as the T-34 tank, Soviet tractor drivers can drive tanks, but how many people in China have seen tractors? The national conditions are different, so even if he has a large number of T-34s, it is still difficult for Zhang Xuewu to find enough drivers, so most of the TB series tanks he bought from the Soviet Union are modified or directly used for refurnace, the Soviet Union lacks foreign exchange, and Zhang Xuewu has money!

Zhang Xueliang came by special train, but when he left, he took a special plane, and there were 48 Saker fighters to escort the escort, all the escorted fighters were painted with the logo of Zhang Xuewu's command of Nanjing to defend the wartime Flying Tigers, when the group passed through Xuzhou to refuel and went to Wuhan, Zhang Xuewu suddenly instructed the group to pass over Nanjing!

Before they arrived in the sky over Nanjing, 22 Type 96 warships that took off from Shanghai went to intercept them, but they were beaten by the escort Saker 17 to 0, of which Lin Tianming, the leader of the escort squadron, shot down five of them, and the achievement was the title of ace pilot!

When the group of planes hovered at low altitude over Nanjing, many people in Nanjing recognized the familiar but unfamiliar logo of the Flying Tigers! This small air force unit that defended China's airspace in Nanjing for 77 days and was almost completely wiped out in the end has returned? What does this mean? Lieutenant General Johnson, commander of the joint forces of the Nine-Nation Pact, looked at the group of fighters hovering in the sky, he clearly knew that it was Zhang Xuewu's fighter, Johnson said to his adjutant with great emotion: "Vincent, I'm afraid our time in Nanjing won't be too long, Zhang Xuewu is an extremely crazy guy!" In this world, there are only things that we can't think of, but there is nothing he doesn't dare to do. ”

After Zhang Xueliang returned to Wuhan with a mission, he immediately had a secret conversation with Chiang Kai-shek, Chiang Kai-shek would never let go of the power in his hands, Zhang Xuewu said that Chiang Kai-shek did not believe the bold words of sweeping away the national political axe in three months, because he himself also said so, but he said that he is now shrinking in the northeast and the Beijing-Shanghai-Hangzhou region, and the National Revolutionary Army is indeed not the opponent of Zhang Xuewu's department, and Zhang Xuewu has so many tank and armored troops, as well as the air force that occupies an absolute advantage, Chiang Kai-shek also hesitated!

Zhang Xueliang conveyed all Zhang Xuewu's suggestions to Chiang Kai-shek, and Chiang Kai-shek was also slightly stunned in the face of Zhang Xuewu's proposal.

Chiang Kai-shek took a slow breath, and now more than 80 percent of all the weapons, ammunition, and military supplies needed by the National Revolutionary Army must be supplied by Zhang Xuewu's Baotou Industrial Base and Northwest Industrial Base.

Therefore, Chiang Kai-shek also knew that they were not qualified to negotiate with Zhang Xuewu at all, the American political axe and the British and French political axes were unwilling to intervene in mediation, and the Soviets, who were trapped in the mess of the Soviet-Finnish war, maintained the so-called neutrality, and said that he also seemed to see some opportunities in the Soviet-Finnish war, and hesitated to fight several times with Zhang Xuewu's department. However, the scheduled ship names have not changed, and it is still the Yamato and Musashi, the two largest aircraft carriers in the world.

Zhang Xuewu is also very helpless because of his strong naval strength, his air force does not have the ability to attack sea targets, or whether it is the BF-109 series or the Saker, or even the Tianhuo under development, it is not suitable to act as a torpedo machine, and Zhang Xuewu does not have a suitable torpedo to attack the ships of the Yue army.

After careful consideration, Chiang Kai-shek thought that Zhang Xuewu's method of excluding Wang Jingwei and others from the administrative system of the national civil administration seemed to be very feasible, and the only difficulty was that Song Ailing's husband Kong Xiangxi and Chen Guofu, Chen Lifu and others were not easy to deal with, and the Chen brothers were in charge of a province in Jiangsu and controlled the Central Bureau of Statistics and Survey. Chiang Kai-shek believed that such a treatment would be acceptable to both sides.

The only problem is Song Ailing, you must know which of her sisters came up with many of Mrs. Song Meiling's bad ideas, Song Ailing has enough influence to affect Song Meiling, which is an unknown aspect, so smacking Kong Xiangxi to the end will definitely cause Song Ailing's backlash.

In addition, almost all chairmen of the provincial party committees should be replaced, the forces of local warlords should be cleaned up, and the armed forces of the whole country should be reorganized in a unified manner, and the expenses of the armed forces should be borne by the state treasury in a unified manner, rather than directly by the provinces.

Chiang Kai-shek's secret representatives Bai Chongxi, He Yingqin, Qian Dajun, and Zhang Xueliang flew to Chengde and began detailed negotiations on the balance of all aspects. So Wang Jingwei touched Chiang Kai-shek's bottom line.

Chiang Kai-shek now faces an opportunity, that is, he can once again bring Zhang Xuewu under his command, and he can also kick Wang Jingwei and those low-key club nasty ghosts away, and become the president of the United Political Axe, and integrate all the Baath Party and other parties into a new political axe, which is a big step for Ming Cook, but is Ming Cook suitable for China? Chiang Kai-shek did not know, he knew that even if it was suitable, it was a matter of the future, because according to the constitution of the United Political Axe, countries in a state of war were given the supreme right of decision by the president until the end of the state of war was declared! Chiang Kai-shek was very satisfied with this, and Chiang Kai-shek also believed that Zhang Xuewu, who was able to make such concessions, was sincere and sincere in cooperation, and the seats placed in the Executive Yuan were elected proportionally by open elections.

For some outstanding elites who are not in the Kuomintang and other parties, Chiang Kai-shek loves, fears, and hates! Moreover, one-third of the positions in the coalition are to be given to the Baath Party and other parties.

Chiang Kai-shek was a little resistant to the entry of members of the Baath Party and the G Party into the army, because the point that Chiang Kai-shek knew most clearly in his life was that the barrel of the gun was the right to speak and the guarantee of the regime!

Chiang Kai-shek also had his own plan for the reform of the party, but according to Zhang Xuewu's plan, the armed forces of the whole country would be under the command of the president and the supreme commander-in-chief, but the president only made a strategic decision for the whole country, which required the approval of more than seventy percent of the members of the Executive Yuan before it could be passed.

In other words, the troops are state, all intelligence organs and secret service organs belong to the state, and the political party is just a temporary manager, and the ability of the manager determines who the voters will ultimately vote for, because the first two political axes are wartime political axes, so the president has the right to appoint and dismiss two consecutive terms, and the president will be re-elected for two consecutive terms, and the president will be re-elected for two consecutive terms, and the third term will automatically become invalid.

Chiang Kai-shek also knew that if he rejected Zhang Xuewu's final suggestion, then the army of the Provisional Political Axe in the north would begin to march to the whole of North China, and Zhang Xuewu, who had established an overall industrial system in the northwest, already had an establishment of 41 divisions, of which 35 new divisions of the Youth Army were all more than 25,000 people, and nearly one million troops could be used for front-line operations!

According to Dai Li's report, for four consecutive years, almost every year, more than two million young and middle-aged people poured into the area under Zhang Xuewu's actual control with the flow of fleeing refugees, so Zhang Xuewu, whose population base had skyrocketed, sent troops to directly recover Shanxi, and had already pointed his troops to Shaanxi.

The well-equipped Zhang Xuewu Department was prepared for war, but at this moment, he had already retreated in the Beijing-Shanghai-Hangzhou area, and the army in the northeast was building a defense line in Jinzhou, and even from the domestic sea shore defense heavy artillery to the Jinzhou defense line, he said that he had been frightened by Zhang Xuewu, and his newly produced latest chariots were transported to Shanghai and the northeast by sea, and he also began to use the chariots on a large scale.

Chiang Kai-shek knew very well that it was very dangerous for Zhang Xuewu to maintain such a large force, and if it were not for Zhang Xuewu to build a party army that fought uselessly for the sake of conviction and doctrine, this would not have been just a matter of extreme recklessness.

Therefore, accepting Zhang Xuewu's suggestion is Chiang Kai-shek's only choice, otherwise as soon as the war starts, let alone the president, I am afraid that he Chiang will have to take refuge in exile overseas, which seems to be his only choice!
