I have to say that in the face of this piece of fat thrown by the Datong Party, Yan Xishan is very greedy, in addition to the Datong Party, where else can you buy weapons with a third of the market price in this world, and there are many new equipment that the First Army has just reloaded, all of which are new Mauser rifles, and now they seem to be called Zhongzheng.

Seeing the fat thrown out by the Datong Party, Yan Xishan could finally be sure that the Datong Party must have received assistance from the Soviet Russians, otherwise how could it not look down on the captured Central Army equipment, but was ready to sell it to himself.

After confirming that there were Soviet Russians standing behind the Datong Party, Yan Xishan did not want to be an enemy of the Datong Party, so he had to welcome the Datong Party in, at least he was definitely not the one who suffered losses in this arms deal.

After telling the radio soldiers to send his reply to the Datong Party, Yan Xishan decided to personally go to meet the people sent by the Datong Party this time, and took the train from Taiyuan all the way south, and finally met the person in charge of the Datong Party this time in Linfen, one of whom was his old acquaintance Xi Zhongxun, and the two sides had a lot of dealings.

Xi Zhongxun is only in his twenties this year, but when Yan Xishan saw him, he looked like an old friend, pulled him and said, "Xiao Xi, I haven't seen you for a few years, you are getting stronger and stronger, I almost didn't recognize it just now." ”

If it weren't for his own representation of the Datong Party, where would an old warlord like Yan Xishan look down on him, so after returning a smile professionally, he introduced Cheng Yun beside him and said: "Mr. Yan, this is Comrade Cheng Yun, a member of the Central Committee of our Datong Party, and the main person in charge of this economic cooperation. ”

"Commissioner Cheng Yuncheng?" Hearing Xi Zhongxun's introduction, Yan Xishan immediately warmly changed to Cheng Yun and shook hands and said, "Disrespectful and disrespectful, Member Cheng's name Yan has heard that he is already a member of the Central Committee of the Datong Party before he is thirty years old, and he is very good at studying the economy. ”

"Mr. Yan praised. We young people don't dare to make axes in front of your old man. In the face of Yan Xishan's enthusiasm, Cheng Yun had a professional smile on his face.

After a brief acquaintance between the two sides, Yan Xishan invited the two to participate in the reception banquet specially prepared by him, and when they arrived at the banquet, Yan Xishan personally poured the two full of wine, and then sighed and said: "Member Cheng, Yan is a general of the People's Party, and he had to obey the orders of the chairman of the Central Committee in the past. ”

"Everyone is their own master. Although there are differences due to differences in revolutionary ideas, they are still Chinese, and it is a big deal to have some contradictions between brothers; the important thing at present is still to resist Japan; President Yan is a minister of the humerus of the People's Party, and if there is a chance, he should persuade the chairman to stop the civil war, and our biggest enemy now is the Japanese invaders. As soon as Cheng Yun spoke, he never forgot to resist Japan, although he knew that it was useless in front of Yan Xishan. But I still couldn't help but say it.

"Committee member Cheng is right, now that the Japanese invaders have invaded and occupied our three eastern provinces, every Chinese will not accept it, but the chairman is too stubborn. Hell-bent on trying to get out of the way than inside the house, we don't like to listen to what we talk about at all. Moreover, CPPCC National Committee member Cheng should also know that the chairman of the CPPCC National Committee has a strong desire for power and does not trust troops other than the Central Army. Thinking of the law and trying to cut down on us old guys. In his eyes, it is not only the Datong Party that needs to be eliminated, but even we, the veteran warlords of the People's Party, must be eliminated. Yan Xishan said in embarrassment. Although it is similar to the truth, it is also a kind of sophistry of his own, anyway, there is only one meaning, it is okay to resist Japan, but I will never go.

This is not the first time Cheng Yun has heard this kind of rhetoric, and it will not be the last, he will stop talking after laughing.

Cheng Yun didn't speak, so Yan Xishan changed the topic and asked, "Speaking of which, why do you Datong Party want to sell the captured Central Army equipment to our Jin Sui Army?" ”

"Of course, it's for the sake of resisting Japan." Cheng Yun said undoubtedly, "According to the underground intelligence of our Datong Party, a full-scale war between China and Japan will break out before July next year at the latest, and when President Yan's Jin Sui Army will bear the brunt, in order to strengthen the strength of the Jin Sui Army, he will sell half of these equipment and give it to the Jin Sui Army." ”

"The Japanese army will launch a full-scale invasion next year?" Even Yan Xishan, an old warlord, couldn't help but be startled when he heard Cheng Yun's words. As Cheng Yun said, if a full-scale war broke out between China and Japan, his Jin Sui Army and Hebei 29th Army would bear the brunt.

"Even if there is no underground intelligence, could it be that based on the superficial situation, Mr. Yan can't deduce the time of the Japanese army's full-scale invasion of China?" Seeing Yan Xishan's frightened appearance, Cheng Yun was very contemptuous in his heart, and at the same time asked deliberately.

As an old fritter, Yan Xishan couldn't have guessed that the Japanese army's full-scale invasion of China would be in the near future, but he didn't expect it to be so close, and there was only a little more than a year left, he originally thought that it would take at least four or five years, because according to time calculations, after occupying the three eastern provinces, it would take at least ten years for the Japanese army to digest it.

The frightened expression didn't last long, and although Yan Xishan quickly put away his embarrassment, he also lost his previous momentum after making a fool of himself, and asked carefully: "Is the information obtained from Commissioner Cheng accurate?" ”

"One hundred percent." After reading the future history, although Cheng Yun knew that the Lugou Bridge Incident was a spontaneous act of an officer of the Japanese army's Young Zhuang faction, he also understood that this battle could not be avoided no matter what, so he said 100 percent with great certainty.

After saying this, Cheng Yuncai continued: "Mr. Yan, you also know that our two parties have been fighting each other for nine years, and there are countless enmities, if it were not for the imminent all-out war between China and Japan, how could our party unify its thinking so quickly and let go of the hatred between it and the People's Party." ”

After listening to Cheng Yun's explanation, Yan Xishan couldn't help but begin to believe that if the Datong Party put aside the hatred between the two parties for the sake of the country's interests, he could barely believe it, because among most of the Datong Party members he had contacted, he found that most of these Datong Party members were idealists, and it was not impossible for idealists to do such things.

It's just that he wants to cooperate with the Datong Party to resist Japan like this, and establish an anti-Japanese united front, and he will not do this kind of loss-making business with the habits of a businessman, so in the end he had to say stiffly: "It is the duty of our generation of soldiers to resist the invaders, and if the Japanese invaders dare to invade our Shanxi territory next year, he will have no return." ”

"Is there a back? I'm afraid you're spanking and urinating, right? Although Cheng Yun thought so in his heart, he would not say it like this, but praised it and said: "Mr. Yan is so courageous, he is worthy of being my Chinese humerus." ”

Although Yan Xishan likes to listen to other people's compliments, Cheng Yun doesn't believe much in this, but he still maintains a smile, and then changes the topic and says: "Your party said in the telegram that in addition to the arms transaction this time, there are other businesses to do, I don't know what else your party has to do?" ”

Seeing Yan Xishan change the topic, Cheng Yun was no longer entangled in establishing an anti-Japanese united front, and officially said: "Mr. Yan should know that the northwest region is already very barren, and many things cannot be produced by themselves, so they can only be purchased from the outside world. ”

"The northwest is barren, and Shanxi is not rich, I don't know what your party wants from Yan?" Yan Xishan continued to ask.

"We need everything except weapons and ammunition, especially food and population, and the Northwest has serious soil erosion, which simply cannot feed so many people in the Soviet area, so we need a lot of food. As for the population, it is also very scarce, not to mention that the soldiers cannot be replenished, and even the workers in the factories are not enough. Cheng Yun said.

"Factory, your party is going to open a factory in the northwest?" Yan Xishan was very curious, how could a poor and remote place in the northwest afford to build a factory.

"Although the factory is not big, it is a good thing to be self-reliant." Cheng Yun said with a smile, "I know that Mr. Yan also has his own factory, and his favorite thing is to set up an industry, so I should understand the benefits." ”

Speaking of the Taiyuan Arsenal he set up, Yan Xishan couldn't help but feel proud, in the whole of China, except for the former Zhang Zuolin, only his Jin Sui army could ensure the self-sufficiency of weapons and ammunition, and everyone else needed to buy a large amount from outside.

"I heard that Mr. Yan has trained a lot of workers, and now due to the overcrowding of the factory, many people can't find jobs, so it is better to send them to the Soviet area, which can not only solve their employment problems, but also earn a sum of money for Mr. Yan."

Hearing this, Yan Xishan not only questioned: "Money? What money? ”

"If Mr. Yan is willing to send all these idle workers to the Soviet area, our party is willing to compensate Mr. Yan for his losses at the price of 100 yuan per person." Cheng Yun went on to say that although the Datong Party can use underground forces to get these idle workers to the Northwest Soviet Region, it is still inevitable to have some losses, after all, Yan Xishan will not let people go so easily, rather than that, it is better to spend money to buy the past, and now the Datong Party is not lacking money.

After understanding what Cheng Yun meant, Yan Xishan couldn't help but hesitate, skilled workers are not something that can be cultivated by training, and it is really a little reluctant for him to cede them to the Datong Party like this.

However, if you think about it carefully, even if you don't give it to the Datong Party, with the Datong Party's demagogic ability, you must be able to trick many people into risking into the Northwest Soviet Region.

So he was embarrassed before saying: "It takes a lot of time and energy to train a skilled worker, is a hundred oceans a little less?" ”

Cheng Yun knew that Yan Xishan would eventually give in, but he didn't expect that Yan Xishan would have to bargain at the last moment, which was really worthy of his self-proclaimed businessman. Although the Datong Party is not short of money at all now, Cheng Yun will not really be wronged, so he said in embarrassment: "Is a hundred oceans less?" Mr. Yan, although our party has received a huge amount of money recently, it has to plan to spend it little by little, and no one has any extra food at home. (To be continued......)
