January 10, 1937

With a burst of blowing and blowing, Zhang Zuolin's burial ceremony officially began under the auspices of Ge Yuetan. Zhang Zuoxiang came from Shaanxi with a haggard face, but Sun Mingjiu and others had already returned to Shaanxi.

Zhang Xueliang, who originally wanted to keep Sun Mingjiu and take a look at them in Fengtian, knew that Zhang Zuoxiang must come, so he asked Sun Mingjiu and Wang Yizhe to rush back to Shaanxi first.

At the mausoleum, Ge Yuetan was dressed in a full true costume and solemnly recited a piece of sacrifice. And Zhang Xueliang, Tujia father and son, and Zhang Zuoxiang on the side are all dressed in linen and filial piety.

Not far away, many old ministers of the Feng Department were whimpering to send the bearded marshal who once crisscrossed the land of the Northeast on his last journey. After reading the sacrificial text, Zhang Zuolin's coffin was slowly placed in the mausoleum under the eyes of everyone.

The sarcophagus was closed, and Zhang Xueliang slowly sprinkled a piece of soil for his father......

The whole ceremony took place throughout the day. More than 50,000 people were present to see off the bearded handsome. Seeing these people see off their father, Zhang Xueliang wept silently.

went up to the high platform to make a fuss around, although in 918 this young marshal did something that disappointed and even despaired people like Mukden. But people still forgave him graciously, and no one blamed him anymore.

At the end of the sacrifice, Zhang Zuolin finally entered the ground. After Zhang Zuolin was buried, Zhang Zuoxiang and others returned to the Marshal's Mansion with Zhang Xueliang. Zhang Zuoxiang's own mansion was sold after Tu Qianjun took charge of the three eastern provinces.

The disappointment of Zhang Xueliang made him completely lose interest in political affairs. After selling all the properties, Zhang Zuoxiang chose to be an apartment in Tianjin.

The father and son of the Tu family did not return to the Dashuai Mansion with Zhang Zuoxiang and others, they had their own things to do. And this is also to make room for Zhang Zuoxiang and Zhang Xueliang to have a private conversation.

The two didn't talk much, and Zhang Zuoxiang was still sulking at Zhang Xueliang. And Zhang Xueliang himself didn't know how to explain it, but fortunately, Yang Yuting's arrival resolved the embarrassment.

"Auxiliary commander, commander, are you interested in going with me to see our factory?!" Yang Yuting smiled and said to the two: "By the way, determine the needs of the Northeast Army, so that we can place an order for the factory." ”

Of course, these two are very interested in this, especially Zhang Xueliang, who is very interested in the changes in the three eastern provinces after he left! Although I know that the three eastern provinces can now produce their own fighters and tanks, how can it sound stronger than what I have seen with my own eyes?!

After the three of them finished their meal at the Dashuai Mansion, they were taken by Yang Yuting to visit several factories in the three eastern provinces. Yang Yuting is now the deputy governor and foreign minister of the three eastern provinces. And what he has to do now is to make a separate summary of the industrial situation and hand it over to Governor Yan Zhengqing for judgment.

In general, each serving zhèng

None of the fǔ reports are separate. For example, in addition to Fan Xudong's own report, Yang Yuting, deputy general manager in charge of the division of labor of industry, education and the Ministry of Commerce, also wants to issue a separate report.

Only by comparing the two can we compare the real and actual industrial output value and development plan.

The first thing they came to was the restructured Arsenal of the Three Eastern Provinces, which now mainly produces Tiger assault rifles, ammunition and artillery.

After several expansions, the current Dongsan Arsenal is now a large factory with more than 6,000 employees, more than 2,000 Chinese engineers and senior engineers, more than 1,000 foreign engineers, and a total of more than 80,000 workers!

After several expansions, the current arsenal of the three eastern provinces has eight main departments and 12 manufacturing offices. There are more than 30,000 machines in the whole factory! Hou Xiaoqiang served as the chief engineer. At the same time, the Gao Shè Gun Factory and the Gao Shè Machine Gun Factory were added...... and so on!

Walking in the factory area, under the introduction of Yang Yuting, Zhang Zuoxiang and others still felt dazzled! From time to time, blonde foreigners with odd accents can be seen walking around the factory, some dressed in engineer's overalls and some in mechanic's clothing.

What is uniformly visible is that they are all in a hurry! Or with all kinds of papers, castings, or with a group of blonde, blue-eyed, black-haired, yellow-skinned Chinese workers running around.

Chief Engineer Jia Xiaohou saw that they didn't even say hello, so he said hello and began to assign the following work on his own. According to Yang Yuting, this is just the chief of the arsenal of the three eastern provinces.

And in the suburbs of Mukden and Liaoyang, there are several branches! Although it is said to be a branch factory, in fact, there are no fewer machines, workers, and engineers than the general manager!

And also. Jia Xiaohou himself is also responsible for the research and development of weapons. He is also the director of the R&D Institute of the Arsenal of the Three Eastern Provinces, responsible for the research and development of new weapons. There, more than 3,000 senior engineers worked under him.

It's just a factory. The three of them walked until the evening and didn't finish it. It wasn't until eight o'clock in the evening that the departure of the last batch of overtime workers made Zhang Zuoxiang and others reluctant to leave. **

After leaving the arsenal, Yang Yuting immediately took them to the night market, which is now extremely popular in Mukden. After the arrival of those foreign technicians, the nightlife of Mukden gradually became colorful.

French restaurants, Russian cuisine, Mongolian cuisine and Lanzhou cuisine restaurants, etc., the whole area is lined up in Fengtian City. There are countless liquors, cafes, and more!

Of course, there is also a special snack street. Looking at this dazzling Fengtian City, Zhang Xueliang suddenly felt that he seemed to have broken into another world, this is the pedestrian street of Fengtian, Yang Yuting and their car arrived at the location, and several people walked onto the street.

Walking on the road, Zhang Xueliang and others kept seeing those blonde and blue-eyed foreigners bargaining with barbecue bosses and snack stall owners in weird Northeast dialect.

I also saw many foreigners skillfully grasping chopsticks. Just eat a bowl of noodles!

Yang Yuting took Zhang Xueliang and the two to a restaurant, introduced the two into a private room, and smiled at them: "This restaurant is my favorite restaurant, there are special Mongolian roast lamb legs and shabu mutton!" Eat it in winter, it's very warm! ”

While talking, Xiao Er smiled and brought up the recipe. Yang Yuting ordered a few at random. and asked for a pot for Zhang Xueliang to order. Where did they know what was delicious, so they followed Yang Yuting's meaning.

Xiao Er went down with the order menu, and after a while, Centennial brought tea. This tea is from Yunnan Simao Yunnan Green! This was discovered by the officials of the three eastern provinces when they visited in the past, as the saying goes, "the mountains and clouds are famous for tea"!

Yunnan has always been a mecca for tea production, and officials in the past undoubtedly thought of transportation development and tea sales when considering local development. Sure enough, it didn't happen. The tea resources in Yunnan make them extremely satisfied!

And after marketing and promotion, these teas have been generally accepted by people in the three eastern provinces. In particular, pressed tea is extremely popular with people in Mongolia and other places!

January in the three eastern provinces. It's still extremely cold. And it's relatively dry, a cup of warm tea goes down to quench thirst, warm the stomach and relax the tendons!

With tea, Zhang Xueliang asked Yang Yuting about the current development of the three eastern provinces. Yang Yuting did not hide it, and told Zhang Xueliang about the entire development of the three eastern provinces.

This time, there is basically no empty talk. Directly it is the data report of the whole piece, such as the aircraft factory. At present, the four main aircraft factories in the three eastern provinces are the Fengtian Aircraft Factory, the Jilin Aircraft Factory, the Harbin Aircraft Factory, and the Liaoyuan Aircraft Factory.

These four manufacturing plants can basically reach a monthly output of more than 600 aircraft! At the same time, there are seven factories capable of producing automobiles, 10 cooperative steel mills, and 16 oil wells in the three eastern provinces...... Wait a minute.

This series of data. As Yang Yuting, who knows the inside story, basically came as soon as he opened his mouth! There is pride in his eyes!

Zhang Zuoxiang and Zhang Xueliang were silent, although they knew that the three eastern provinces had become very strong and developing rapidly. But never before has there been such a complete data xìng understood!

When they heard that someone gave them such a specific description with a piece of data, they were completely shocked! If Zhang Xueliang still had the pride that this was the foundation left by his father and son to the Tu family at the beginning.

Now this pride has completely disappeared, and there is no other reason! Even if Zhang Zuolin is resurrected and tied up with his father and son, he will not be able to accomplish such a feat!

Subsequent counts

Yang Yuting took them on a tour of the three eastern provinces, including the enlarged gunpowder factory and chemical plant. He even took them to the National Defense University, Northeastern University and other institutions.

The shock, each time more intense than the other. Even in the end, Zhang Xueliang couldn't help but ask Yang Yuting: "Uncle Ge, since the National Defense Force has such a strong strength, why don't you directly enter the customs and unify the Central Plains?!" ”

Yang Yuting smiled and whispered to Zhang Xueliang: "If we enter the customs." It's not that difficult to directly lay down the entire level. But now the situation is,

ì myself is eyeing the tiger! ”

Zhang Xueliang couldn't help but be stunned when he heard Yang Yuting's words! At this time. They are at the Northeast National Defense University. Yang Yuting looked at the men running on the basketball court and said in a deep voice.

"We are weaker than

ì Ben Liang, whether it is industrial strength, industrial base or production capacity! Even the quality of soldiers, weapons and equipment, etc.! Yang Yuting turned his head to look at Zhang Xueliang and said solemnly: "In this case, what are we going to do with a civil war and consume our own national defense forces?!" ”

"How much time will it take us to lay down all over the place?! How much power will be lost?! With this time, why not spend it on the construction of the industrial base, on the improvement of the quality of the soldiers?! ”

"War is coming, that's it

I know it, and we know it! Now that we know this, let's get ready! What we, the Defence Forces, are doing now, is fighting

Prepare! ”

Yang Yuting paused, looked at Zhang Zuoxiang and the others and said in a deep voice: "The matter of the Nanjing State Mansion." We don't bother to care! Red sè, as long as they are willing to resist

We can also support them. But! We will never waste our strength on needless infighting! ”

"Infighting insiders! We don't do enough of this kind of thing?! Touching the blood of your own people, is it refreshing?! Have the ability to kill foreign enemies!! ”

Yang Yuting said. Gradually I started to get excited!

"We, the three eastern provinces, our national defense forces, from Governor Yan and Commander-in-Chief Tu to me, the old man, the civil servants of the provinces below, and even every soldier in the army have insisted on implementing a creed!"

"That is: at all times and under all circumstances, the interests of the state, the interests of the nation, must be above all politics, beliefs and ideologies!!"

Yang Yuting stood up and watched Zhang Xueliang say this. The look on that face. It's like saying a word from your own bone marrow.

"Whoever does this, he's our friend. Whoever violates this is our enemy! ”

Zhang Xueliang was silent, and Zhang Zuoxiang was silent with him. Suddenly, Zhang Zuoxiang felt that he was really a little reckless to leave the three eastern provinces like this at that time. It seems that I have missed an extremely important moment in my life.

"Uncle Lingge,

ì himself is coming. Are the Wehrmacht sure that they will be able to withstand it?! After being silent for a long time, Zhang Xueliang asked Yang Yuting his own question.

But as soon as this question was asked, Yang Yuting couldn't help laughing! The hearty laughter made the people around look over. And Yang Yuting laughed for a while, but did not directly answer Zhang Xueliang's question.

Instead, he turned around and casually shouted to a cadet soldier wearing a military uniform of the National Defense University behind him: "Second lieutenant! Come here! ”

The second lieutenant who was pointed at by Yang Yuting paused for a moment, and then trotted in front of Yang Yuting and them! After a military salute, he replied loudly: "Hello sir! Zhou Kai, a student of the sixth class of the Senior Command Department of the Northeast National Defense University, reports to you! ”

Looking at the ensign's steady posture, Yang Yuting nodded with satisfaction! patted the second lieutenant on the shoulder, and said to him, "Second lieutenant, someone asked me."

ì I'm going to call, can our Wehrmacht withstand it?! I'll answer that question for you! ”

The second lieutenant could hear Yang Yuting's words. He was stunned for a moment, and then smiled. straightened his body and said to Yang Yuting: "Report to the chief!" There is nothing that cannot be resisted, and there are eight scars on the subordinates! Both were in the Battle of Jinan and

ì I hit it. Three were fought in the Battle of Harbin and Lao Maozi. One was fought with the little devil in 918. The last two fought with the little devils in the Korean campaign! ”

Good man! Zhang Zuoxiang couldn't help but say in his heart, this second lieutenant looks like he is only in his twenties! But it's really battle-hardened!

"My subordinates fought in Jinan

He has beaten Lao Maozi in Harbin, killed devils in Shanhaiguan, and killed in North Korea

ì myself! But! His subordinates and all the Wehrmacht soldiers have never been defeated in front of them! ”

After speaking, the second lieutenant said to Yang Yuting with pride in his bones: "Report to the chief!" The subordinates feel that our national defense forces don't care whether they can withstand it or not! This sentence. Should ask

ì myself!! ”

Our We-Wehrmacht doesn't care if we can withstand it or not! This sentence should be asked

ì myself!! At this sentence, Zhang Xueliang, who was shocked, suddenly shook a little!

This seems like an arrogant statement. In fact, it has bloody records again and again as support! In the face of these bloody achievements, are these words still arrogant?!

The accumulation of continuous victories is the arrogance of the Wehrmacht that is different from other armies of this era! This kind of arrogance makes them disdain to deal with the warlords in the country.

Their goal is simple, that is

ì myself! It's the Soviets! Their goal is to all those who dare to invade the territory of the Wehrmacht and invade the foreign tribes of China by force!

"Hahahaha...... Good! He is worthy of being a man of our national defense army! Yang Yuting laughed with relief and hammered the second lieutenant's chest!

"Good job! Wait for the devil to really do it, don't embarrass our defense forces!! Don't forget, the brothers in the cemetery are watching us! Yang Yuting said loudly to this man, and this second lieutenant's eyes turned red when he heard Yang Yuting say this!

"Yes!! The subordinates will definitely not disgrace the Wehrmacht! Absolutely do not disgrace the brothers in the cemetery!! "Finished. The man gave a military salute to Yang Yuting, turned around and left.

Looking at the back of the second lieutenant, Zhang Xueliang was thoughtful. He seemed to understand, but seemed to be thinking again.

At this time, Zhang Xueliang no longer had the intention of visiting, and Yang Yuting was no longer reluctant to see this. Send Zhang Xueliang and Zhang Zuoxiang back to the Marshal's Mansion. Then he went to save zhèng by himself

fǔ went on business.

Zhang Zuoxiang's uncle and nephew didn't have anything to talk about, and Zhang Xueliang locked himself in the room and didn't come out. But Zhang Zuoxiang locked himself in the guest room and didn't say a word.

Dinner was ten, and it was Steward Wen who delivered the food to the accommodation of the two. The two of them spent the whole day in their rooms.

It wasn't until late the next evening that the two met in the dining room. Zhang Xueliang looked at Zhang Zuoxiang, whose face was haggard, and couldn't help but laugh dumbly! And Zhang Zuoxiang looked at Zhang Xueliang. Laughed too.

"Uncle, I had the idea of merging the Northeast Army into the National Defense Force before...... Zhang Xueliang spoke first, and said in a hoarse voice to Zhang Zuoxiang: "After this time, I think I should do it even more......"

Zhang Zuoxiang didn't say anything, just nodded. Zhang Xueliang looked at his uncle and continued: "Compared to the army, I really didn't do anything. If the Northeast Army is handed over to him, the role will be even greater......"

Zhang Zuoxiang was silent for a while before he said to Zhang Xueliang: "Sixth son, uncle has been thinking about it for a long time. Actually, this is what Uncle wants to tell you. Just now I was hesitating to tell you......"

Zhang Zuoxiang's voice was also hoarse. said to Zhang Xueliang: "Sixth son...... I was friends with Lao Shuai! I don't think you know what I do to you. The two fathers and sons of the Tu family, whether it is for you or for Lao Shuai, they really have really taken out their hearts and lungs. ”

"I was thinking before, if you give your last belongings to the army, will this be sorry for the old handsome. But I've thought about it for a long time, this country wants it! After a pause, Zhang Zuo sighed to his nephew: "Speaking of which, the Northeast Army can play a more effective role in the hands of the army......

Zhang Xueliang nodded, smiled at Zhang Zuoxiang and said, "Uncle." After this incident in Nanjing. I've figured it out, this man! Some are suitable and some are not. if

ì I came, and I went to fight hard. But this is the management of the troops, and the military is much stronger than me...... The Northeast Army handed it over to him, and I was relieved. ”

Zhang Zuoxiang smiled, but did not mention the matter again. pulled Zhang Xueliang and began to eat, and the few two drank at the dinner table. Zhang Zuoxiang recalled the interesting stories of Zhang Xueliang when he was a child, and Zhang Xueliang kept talking about his knowledge over the years.

The uncle and nephew didn't know that in the small courtyard of Yan Zhengqing's house in Fengtian, Yang Yuting was proudly drinking wine with Yan Zhengqing. Yan Zhengqing, the old guy, smiled lightly. Yang Yuting took a few sips of wine and said softly to Yan Zhengqing.

"Zhichang, do you think Han Qing will really hand over the Northeast Army to the army?!"

Yan Zhengqing smiled and said to Yang Yuting: "I have gotten along with Han Qing. I have also worked with Fu Chen. Both were patriotic. There is no doubt about that. ”

Yang Yuting nodded when he heard this, he didn't deny this.

"After experiencing the Nanjing incident, Han Qing will inevitably have some ideas. Where is the way out for the Northeast Army?! Right

ì War, on the verge of breaking out. Even if Jiang Zhongzheng didn't do anything to Han Qing and the Northeast Army because of us, he couldn't do things like pushing the Northeast Army out to be cannon fodder and trapping them to death on the battlefield. ”

Yang Yuting pursed his lips, it's really not that Jiang Zhongzheng can't do these things. To eliminate dissidents, Jiang Zhongzheng has always spared no effort. When I suppressed the bandits, I saw that if I didn't have two Jīng Rui main divisions, I didn't add them, and the number was gone.

And zhōng

Yāng Army. That group of guys specializes in picking veterans in the back! Forcing people to join their own troops, they did it during the Northern Expedition, and they are not good birds!

"The most important thing is that if there is a fight, we will not threaten Jiang Zhongzheng like this time. After all, we need to be consistent with the outside world, and we can't help but take it into account. ”

Yan Zhengqing picked up the wine glass. Drink the wine in your glass! Then he said with a smile: "Actually, Han Qing himself faintly has this thought. It's just that I made him make up his mind. ”

Yang Yuting nodded, and smiled and sandwiched a piece of ribs for Yan Zhengqing. Then he said with emotion: "Don't talk about Han Qing, in fact, I was scared when I walked down like this!" When did we get so strong?! I don't feel it at all. We're going to be strong......"

Yang Yuting said this, but the corners of his eyes were a little wet. Yang Yuting has always had a warm heart, and this heart has never cooled. According to the post-war declassified

According to the records of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, it was "feared that Yang Yuting and other opposition parties would take advantage of the opportunity to create disputes."

The Manchurian and Mongolian rights and interests that have been obtained have "turned into shadows".

In almost all of Zhang Zuolin's foreign negotiations, Yang Yuting has played an extremely important role. His strength is opposed

ì attitude, let also

ì himself hated to the bone.

But the lack of real strength, isn't this a kind of helplessness?! Facing the three eastern provinces that have developed beyond his expectations, Yang Yuting suddenly felt full of pride!

"Knowing the usual...... See those factories, see those planes and cannons, and listen to those cubs

ì I am careful of my heart...... I don't know why, it's hot all at once! ”

Yang Yuting smiled, wiped his eyes with the corner of his clothes, and drank all the residual wine in the cup!

The cub at the National Defense University said, asked

ì I feel when I can't stand it! I, Yang Yuting, have done this life, it's worth it!! (To be continued)
