Zhang Zongchang slapped the table and yelled: "His grandmother's, Lao Tzu doesn't believe that these little noses have three heads and six arms." Brother Huanzhang, Zhi Lao, I will lead the troops out of the city to Weixian to set up defenses. It's just that the weapons, ammunition, and salaries ......."

Zhang Zongchang, the dog meat general, was actually willing to lead his troops to Weixian, a key point on the Jiaoji Railway, to intercept the Japanese army, and when he heard the news, the people in the room all cast admiring and puzzled eyes. This master can't be drunk and talking nonsense, right?

Feng Yuxiang sighed softly, a hint of surprise flashed on his face, provoked Brother Thumb, and praised: "Brother Xiaokun is really a heroic little brother, I will first salute Brother Xiaokun, and I wish Brother Xiaokun a victory and success." ”

Duan Qirui also smiled: "Yes, Zhang Xiaokun is really a pillar of the country, the pillar of Shandong, this weapon, ammunition and military salary...... We, the Shandong Military Supervision Bureau, have taken it all in, even if it is to smash the pot and sell iron, we will definitely not let the heroes of the anti-Japanese war go to the battlefield empty-handed."

"Then I will thank Duan Zhi Lao for the 30,000 tigers of the Zhilu Coalition Army" Zhang Zongchang laughed, with a simple face, and hugged his fists at the Anhui generals present: "I was quite offended just now, and I hope you don't blame it, this time...... If I return the corpse of the horse, don't forget to burn more paper money for Lao Zhang during the Qingming Festival, so that I can play a few more games of mahjong with the king of Hades. ”

……

Xuzhou Camel Mountain Airport. A sixteen-seat Junkers J31 airliner is taxiing slowly on the runway. The logo on the wing and fuselage of this aircraft is actually a bright red five-pointed star, which is an aircraft belonging to the Air Force of the Chinese Workers' and Peasants' Red Army

The history of this plane is indeed a mess. The Red Army, which was supposed to "occupy the mountain as the king" in Jinggang Mountain, has now actually established an air force, although there is only one plane. It was this Junkers J31 passenger plane assembled by the Sino-German Aircraft Company. The interior of this aircraft is luxurious and exquisite, and the aircraft is full of European-style luxury, which was a gift from the Nationalist Government to China G not long ago. The plane was piloted by Feng Dafei, who had just completed flight training at the Moscow Higher Aviation School of the Soviet Union, and was currently the commander and political commissar of the Chinese Workers' and Peasants' Red Army Air Force.

Zhou Elai, the general political commissar of the Chinese Workers' and Peasants' Red Army, was on this plane, and sitting next to him was Xuanxia's father. The two of them came to Xuzhou to meet with Luo Yaoguo to discuss how to avoid misunderstandings in the "cooperation against Japan".

"Commissar General, look there." Xuanxia's father's slightly surprised voice suddenly sounded in Zhou Elai's ears.

Following the direction pointed by Xuan Xia's father, Zhou Elai saw through the glass window of the cabin dozens of neatly arranged biplane planes. This should belong to the Army Aviation of the National ** Army, it seems that this time the Kuomintang is bound to Shandong Thinking of this, Zhou Elai's face became a little solemn.

Xuanxia's father sighed lightly: "General Political Commissar, I heard Dafei say that their biplane is quite good, using German technology and technology, and even the Soviet Air Force bought 200 of them, but I don't know how many of them have them?" ”

Zhou Elai smiled faintly: "The monthly output of the Sino-German Aircraft Factory is 200 aircraft, and every year it is 2,400 aircraft The labor union of the aircraft factory has our comrades. ”

"Two thousand four hundred," Xuanxia's father exclaimed, and there was a look of disbelief in his eyes: "If they use these planes to attack the Soviet area...... What can I do?"

Zhou Elai sneered twice: "They just started a few years earlier than us, and don't we also start building heavy industry now?" The construction contract for the steel and military-industrial complex in Baotou has been basically finalized with several large companies in the south. Furthermore...... We are also going to set up an aircraft factory and a tank factory jointly with the Fengjun, and they are ready to import technology from Italy. Italy is one of the world's five major military powers, and their technology is no worse than that of the Germans. ”

Xuanxia's father had a little surprise on his face, he had already heard about Baotou's preparations to build a steel plant and a military factory, but it was the first time he had heard of the tank and aircraft factory. It seems that the Party Central Committee also has an overall layout in the military industry and heavy industry.

"General Political Commissar, then in a few years, our forces will be able to catch up with them?"

Zhou Elai nodded noncommittally, but his eyes never left the dozens of biplane planes: "Sword Soul, what we lack now is time, our system always has advantages, and our party also has strong combat effectiveness and cohesion, all of which are not comparable to the Kuomintang and the capitalist system." It's just that...... We started so late a few years that they got a head start. ”

"Can you catch up?" Xuanxia's father asked in a deep voice.

"Yes," Zhou Elai replied with certainty: "Although the Kuomintang started first, they were full of internal contradictions, and their economy was too dependent on imperialism. And...... In the past two years, they have turned their energy and financial resources to the navy, and they want to compete with Japan for hegemony. And we don't need to develop the navy now, we only need to invest our energy in the key projects of steel, military industry, and aircraft, and concentrate on doing big things, but this is the advantage of our communist system."

Xuanxia's father frowned tightly, and his face was a little gloomy: "But...... If we fight them this time, do we still have a chance? ”

Zhou Elai shook his head slowly, this issue was also debated for an afternoon at yesterday's enlarged meeting of the Political Bureau of the Central Committee. Mao ZD's opinion is not to be afraid of conflict with the Kuomintang, at present, the anti-Japanese alliance led by the Central G has won the leadership of the national anti-Japanese resistance and will soon be unanimously supported by the people of the whole country, in this case there is a little conflict with the Kuomintang, the other party does not dare to make a big deal of it, but this time Mao ZD's opinion was opposed by almost all the members of the Politburo, including Zhou Elai.

At present, the construction of the Soviet zone has just begun, and a relatively stable external environment is urgently needed. In addition, the base areas in northern Shaanxi and Suiyuan are also suffering from a severe drought, and I am afraid that they will need assistance from the Kuomintang-ruled areas at that time. It seems very unwise to go to war with the Kuomintang under such circumstances. However, it seems unreasonable for Shandong Province not to get a piece of the pie with such a large piece of fat...... This is also the reason why Zhou Elai personally flew to Xuzhou to negotiate with Luo Yaoguo, what you can't get on the battlefield, just try to get it at the negotiation table.

……

The big restaurant of Xuzhou Garden Hotel is already full of seats. Officers and German military advisers wearing the uniforms of the National ** Army General Academy are scattered among them. The table was full of fine dishes, but the Germans had knives and forks in front of them. The waiters of the hotel shuttled back and forth, and some of them carefully carried all kinds of foreign wine in the ice buckets, and when they saw that someone's cup was empty, they went over to fill it up diligently.

At the main table in the center of the big restaurant, Luo Yaoguo was smiling and talking to Zhou Elai next to him in a low voice, while Deng Yanda was sitting on the other side of Zhou Elai, also smiling all over his face, not interjecting a few words. The topic of discussion is actually the division of Shandong's territory......

"Brother E, why do you always keep an eye on the mountains?" Luo Yaoguo took a sip of wine, shook his head, and said with a smile: "Isn't it because you want to establish a Soviet area in Yimeng Mountain, and then come to fight guerrillas with us?" ”

Zhou Elai's face changed slightly, but then he calmed down as before, and laughed: "Brother Fuwen is really joking, right now it is the climax of the national war of resistance, and our party is even more bent on resisting Japan, how can it conflict with your party?" Unless some reactionary forces that ignore the general interests of the nation insist on provoking a civil war, then we will have no choice but to defend ourselves."

"Yes, what Brother E said is very true." Deng Yanda saw that the atmosphere of the banquet was a little embarrassing, and hurriedly came out to play a round: "Our party's army will never fire the first shot, Brother Fuwen, don't you say?" ”

Luo Yaoguo glanced at him and sneered twice: "Brother Zhisheng is also the general of our people's ** army, why don't you know the combat regulations of our army?" We just have to shoot the first shot first, or I'm afraid we won't have a chance to shoot, Brother E, what do you say? ”

These words were simply a naked provocation, and Zhou Elai's face suddenly became gloomy. A pair of sharp eyes stared at Luo Yaoguo tightly: "Commander-in-Chief Luo, what do you mean, do you think that you can intimidate us GCD people by intimidation?"

Luo Yaoguo said lightly: "I mean well, but I am just sending a very clear message to your party." All the territory south of the Yellow River in Shandong Province is ours, and you are not allowed to touch it, but the thirty-four counties north of the Yellow River can belong to you, which is much more fertile than Yimeng Mountain."

The 34 counties north of the Yellow River are almost one-third the size of Shandong Province. And it is an alluvial plain as flat as a table, with fertile land and dense population, and it is indeed a good place. It's just that...... There is absolutely no danger to be guarded

Zhou Elai's face was solemn, his thick eyebrows were frowning, obviously thinking about the gains and losses. Luo Yaoguo didn't wait for his answer, and then talked eloquently: "What is the basis of mountain guerrilla warfare? Isn't it the support of the masses yet? Why do the masses support you? Isn't it about tangible benefits? This time, we exempted Shandong from three years of land endowment, provided free education, and spent 200 million yuan to carry out land reform, so that the cultivators have their own land, I don't believe that your GCD can give more benefits? When the time comes, the people's hearts will be on our side, the army will be more than ours, and the weapons and equipment will be even more advantageous to us, so why will you fight with us? Isn't it a good thing that I won't let you come south of the Yellow River, I think Brother E can tell the difference, right? ”

"Hmph, Luo Fuwen, aren't you afraid of the condemnation of public opinion and democrats across the country?" Deng Yanda slammed the table and shouted.

Luo Yaoguo sneered and gently turned the wine glass in his hand: "We Kuomintang are afraid of public opinion and those democratic gentlemen, but do you know who these democratic gentlemen are afraid of?" When the time comes, send them to Mongolia and Xinjiang for a few days...... It's all exposed, so it really makes me anxious, public opinion or something, I'm not afraid"

"You" Deng Yanda just wanted to refute it, saw Luo Yaoguo's gloomy and somewhat terrifying face, and then thought of those terrifying and outrageous "rumors" from Xinjiang and Mongolia. For a while, there was a chilling feeling that this was really a bit absurd, and those iron-clad democrats and Kuomintang leftists, especially themselves, who were not afraid of death, would be afraid of Wang Zizhi, a madman, and semi-literate people like Wang Zhongyi?

The whole house fell silent all of a sudden, and the faces of Zhou Elai and Xuanxia's father became gloomy.

I don't know how long it took before I heard a sweet and greasy voice sigh: "Mr. Zhou, Mr. Xuan, there are some things that are unimaginable to outsiders, but insiders like us don't have to pretend that they don't know anything." So don't mention this matter again, so as not to spoil your appetite. ”

It was Luo Yaoguo's secretary and little wife Natalie who spoke, and she was also sitting at the main table at this time, frowning slightly, as if she had thought of something unpleasant.

Zhou Elai raised his eyebrows and nodded: "In the thirty-four counties north of the Yellow River, our party is satisfied." It's just that...... There are also the interests of General Feng Huanzhang and the other factions, how are you going to arrange them? ”

Luo Yaoguo smiled and glanced at Zhou Elai with a somewhat complicated expression: "Brother Elai, do you think Feng Huanzhang and Duan Zhilao will have much strength left after this battle?" ”

"What do you mean?" Zhou Elai was shocked and looked at Luo Yaoguo: "Do you want to sacrifice the Anti-Japanese Allied Army and not save you when you die?" ”

Luo Yaoguo shook his head and sighed: "If you want to save it, you have to wait for others to ask for help before you can go, right?" I'm afraid that when the time comes...... Well, let's not talk about these unpleasant ones. Luo Yaoguo took a glass of wine and drank it all, and changed to a cheerful smile: "I heard that your Soviet area has also started construction and engaged in heavy industry, right?" ”

Zhou Elai also smiled in a blink of an eye: "Speaking of construction, you Luo Fuwen is an expert, right?" South China's steel production is more than a million tons, which really doesn't come out of nowhere, as if it ...... It's like some kind of magic that turns stone into gold. ”

Although the "Red Star" of China G portrayed the south as a hell on earth, those factories were also criticized as worthless. But several bigwigs are very envious in private, especially Zhou Elai and Deng Xixian, who want to learn from it......

Luo Yaoguo smiled and waved his hand: "Where can I use any method of turning stones into gold?" Besides, what's the use of this gold? When it comes to GC doctrine, it has to be used to repair toilets. ”

As soon as the joke came out, everyone laughed along with the occasion, and the atmosphere at the banquet suddenly eased a lot. Luo Yaoguo took a sip of wine and said with a smile: "Our land in China is more than 10 million square kilometers, and the resources are also rich. And there are nearly 50,000 ordinary people, and they are particularly industrious and thrifty. For thousands of years, we have been inferior to others when we have to fight, but if we compare production, when is it not the absolute leading position in the world? That is, it has temporarily lagged behind for various reasons in the past few decades...... Therefore, it is not difficult for our country to develop at all, as long as there are appropriate policies and a relatively stable environment. Just like the development of our south in the past few years, it is because of good policies and a peaceful and stable environment. This is not difficult at all, as long as your party and the various factions in the north can truly unite to create a good environment for the people and give some good policies, they will soon be able to catch up. ”

Zhou Elai was stunned, thought about it carefully, and felt that what the other party said was also reasonable. In fact, the real reason for the industrial development of the south is the unification of government and military orders, the "Guangzhou Secret Treaty", and the monopoly of the southern banknote market with legal tender. The unification of the military administration gave the South a stable environment, and the Canton Secret Treaty gave the South tariff autonomy and allowed it to use protective tariff policies to encourage domestic industrial development. The monopoly of the banknote market with fiat currency has led to the rapid development of finance and banking in the south, which can provide cheap funds for industrial construction.

"Brother Fuwen, you just said that you want our party and the northern factions to truly unite? Aren't you afraid that we will unite against your party? Zhou Elai just looked at Luo Yaoguo calmly.

"Hahaha......" Luo Yaoguo laughed and waved his hand: "It's not ancient anymore, you can fight all over the world with a big sword, a spear and a little bravery." Modern warfare is all about industry, resources, and economic power. This year, the steel output of our south is expected to exceed one million tons, and the fiscal revenue is more than 1.5 billion fiat currency, oh, not counting the profits of slaughtering the Japanese. How much steel do you have in the northern factions now? How much? You can't beat us. I said this, you may not believe it, when you go and ask the Soviet advisers yourself. They are now also working on a five-year plan, and they are single-mindedly focused on the development of heavy industry. ”

“…… In this Shandong War of Resistance, as long as the two parties can truly unite, the Japanese will not be able to win, and the war will not last long. But...... At the moment, we don't have the strength to beat the Japanese and make them afraid to come back. Therefore, the post-war years of peace were very precious to all of our factions, and if the North can really develop and have heavy industry sufficient to protect itself, our country can be regarded as truly out of the crisis and can stand tall in the world."

Zhou Elai held the wine glass, although his face was still smiling, but his mind slowly sank. The other party seems to be shifting from class struggle to economic construction, and the Shaanbei Energy Co., Ltd. and the recent Baotou Iron and Steel Military Industrial Complex some time ago seem to be being promoted by Luo Yaoguo. Perhaps his real purpose was not to help the party develop its economy and strengthen its strength so that it could overthrow their reactionary rule? But...... And what is it for?

At this time, Luo Yaoguo changed his words and returned to the topic of the Shandong Anti-Japanese War: "Brother E, the current Shandong Anti-Japanese War is only afraid...... It's going to be a bit of a twist and turn. Jinan, the provincial capital, may not be able to protect it, so the two parties must unite sincerely and shoulder the main responsibility for Shandong's war of resistance. My idea is that your party is responsible for the anti-Japanese war in the 34 counties north of the Yellow River, and our party is responsible for the south of the Yellow River. ”

Zhou Elai frowned slightly, he faintly felt that the rhythm and topics of today's meeting were completely controlled by Luo Yaoguo, and he was just passively coping.
