After pondering for a moment, Han Lihong said in a deep voice: "Big brother, let's first say that the peace talks can't be achieved, and we can't resist myself, so that Pingjin has fallen." ”

Han Litao listened silently.

"The loss of Eastern Province, although the crowd is excited, the impact is still within the controllable range, but if Pingjin falls, it will be two different things."

Since the Northeast has been occupied by Zhang's father and son for a long time, even if Zhang Xueliang changes his banner and submits to the central government, the central forces still cannot enter the Northeast, and one of the signs of this situation is that the central government cannot collect a penny of taxes from the Northeast.

In this way, there is a strong sense of alienation between the Northeast and Kannai, so although the Northeast is lost and the people are excited, they can still be perfunctory by temporarily not recognizing it, waiting for the League of Nations or other opportunities to recover it.

But not in North China, and in this regard, the situation in North China and Northeast China is completely different.

In the five provinces of North China, the wheat output is one-third of the country, the cotton output is nearly half of the country, the textile mills account for one-fifth of the country, the flour mills account for two-fifths of the country, the coal output is close to half of the country, the salt production is one-fifth of the country, the total length of the railway is half of the country, the length of the highway accounts for one-sixth of the country, and the tariff revenue is the second in the country.

In addition to these material levels, there are also spiritual levels, and Beiping is a cultural center that is enough to cover the north and influence the south.

He said that as long as he entered Pingjin, if the Nanjing political axe did not start a full-scale war, and still insisted on going his own way and continued to advocate the theory of the destruction of the country, then Chairman Chiang had very little chance of continuing to take power.

Therefore, no matter what aspect it is, once I say that I occupy Pingjin, there is no doubt that an all-out war will be inevitable.

Han Litao nodded slightly.

Han Lihong continued: "Although our military strength in North China cannot stop the offensive of the Yue army, and we are not prepared for war with Yue Ben at all, the problem is that Yu Ben is also not ready for a full-scale war. If an all-out war breaks out between China and China because of the invasion of Pingjin, it is not us who is really in danger, but Yu himself. ”

Han Litao's heart was shocked, he felt that he was grasping something, but he couldn't say it clearly.

"If the war starts in a hurry, once the war starts, the support will be insufficient, and the war will inevitably be in a state of stalemate, and once it is in this state, it will be extremely dangerous to Yue himself. When everything is ready, we have made all kinds of corresponding preparations, and although we will still not be able to stop my offensive, we will inevitably fall into a bitter battle. ”

"Once this situation is reached, the great powers of Britain, France, the United States, the Soviet Union, and Russia will inevitably fall into the ground, and as long as they maintain the state of bitter war between China and China, it will be a profitable deal, and it will be dangerous."

Han Litao nodded, his heart brightened a lot, and he said, "So, I am just bluffing. ”

At present, Germany has not shown its fangs, and Britain, France, and Soviet Russia have not been effectively contained by Germany, which is also the main reason why they dare not brazenly invade and occupy North China.

"Not really." Han Lihong said: "If you occupy Rehe, you must have the mentality of going home and counting the money in a hurry, but the middle and lower levels are not, they can't wait to make as much trouble as possible, so there are still variables." ”

This variable is not big, and listening to what my brother said, there are variables, it seems better to really fight, so as to save such a sheep from dying, sulking every day.

As soon as the knot in his heart was gone, his heart suddenly opened, and Han Litao said: "This matter is still on the head of my younger brother and sister? ”

Nodding, Han Lihong smiled and said, "How can Lord Liang not be on top of such a glorious thing?" ”

A wry smile appeared on the corner of Han Litao's mouth, this time, Chairman Jiang was having a hard time again.

Through this incident, the prestige of Jimingshan will inevitably reach new heights, and this will inevitably make Chairman Jiang's desire to enter Jimingshan more urgently, but in this way, the national political axe will inevitably face greater pressure from public opinion.

Suddenly, there was a movement in his heart, would Chairman Jiang make greater concessions to Yue himself because of his brother?

"Lihong, how about I report your words?"

Shaking his head, Han Lihong smiled bitterly and said, "Big brother, we are not in the bureau, so we naturally seem to be idle. Although Nanjing and said that he was a wolf with a hemp pole and was afraid at both ends, this was like a gambling game. ”

Han Litao was silent.

――――――

Tang Xu is busy, very busy.

After finishing the Chang family in the British Concession, he went to the Chen family in the French Concession.

The Chen family and the Chang family are both national industrialists, but the Chen family is much more famous than the Chang family.

Yang Gray Chen, these three words are not a household name in China, at least many people know them.

The ash Chen family is the Chen family, and the Chen family's industry is to produce the ash.

Getting off the Pondick car and looking at the three-story western-style building in front of him, Tang Xu was a little puzzled.

Before coming, the head of the family specially instructed him that the first is respect for the Chen family's father and son, the second is respect, and the third is respect, and he must not threaten like the Chang family, and must be discussed, even if the Chen family refuses, he cannot threaten.

Therefore, when he arrived at Chen's house, Tang Xu didn't have a panache at the door of Chang's house, he got out of the car and went to ring the doorbell by himself.

Like going to Chang's house, coming to Chen's house was also made in advance.

The door opened, Tang Xu didn't get into the car again, he walked in by himself.

Facing him, two people walked over, one was an old man in his sixties, and the other was a man in his thirty-four or five.

This must be the father and son of the Chen family.

Tang Xu hurriedly walked over, and when he got closer, he bowed respectfully to the old man, then straightened up and asked, "You are always Mr. Chen, right?" ”

The old man hurriedly said: "Mr. Tang, don't dare to be, old Chen Yifu, this is the dog Ruliang." ”

Tang Xu nodded to Chen Fan again and said, "Mr. Chen, hello." ”

Chen Fanyou hurriedly said, "Mr. Tang, hello." ”

Tang Xu nodded secretly, no wonder the head of the family has so much respect for the Chen family father and son, the Chen family father and son have a lot of money, but they are approachable, without the slightest nobility and arrogance, rare, too rare.

As soon as Chen Fan saw Tang Xu, he felt familiar, but this Mr. Tang was introduced by Chang Bisheng. The relationship between the Chang family and the Chen family is very good, so I didn't think much about it. But when he entered the living room, Chen Fanyou suddenly felt a shock in his heart, and he recognized who this Mr. Tang was.

Quietly, Chen Fan did not invite Tang Xu to sit in the living room, but invited Tang Xu into the study.

This is not in accordance with the rules, Chen Yifu looked at his son, and Chen Fanyou shook his head gently.

After entering the study and sitting down, Chen Fan said, "Mr. Tang, you have been in the newspaper." ”

Tang Xu smiled, took off his glasses, and said, "Mr. Chen has good eyesight." ”

At this time, Chen Yifu also recognized who this Mr. Tang was.

The father and son glanced at each other, and they were both very calm.
