Liu Yuan took a plane from Nanjing to Beiping, Chiang Kai-shek personally saw him off, and before leaving, Chiang Kai-shek took Liu Yuan's hand and said some whispers.

"Fuguo, this battle must be fought well no matter what, I am the nominal supreme leader of China, if I lose, I will bear the infamy of a traitor, this is definitely not what I want, but let me fight with the Japanese with the national fortune, I can't do it, so there will definitely be someone who will bear this infamy at that time." Chiang Kai-shek said earnestly.

"Principal, things are not so simple, there is no successor in the Northeast, Zhang Xueliang has a wine bag and a rice bag, if Japan takes the three northeastern provinces, it has to take an inch, and then it will take Chahar and Rehe, then the Kwantung Army can coerce Pingjin, Beijing is the ancient capital of many dynasties, if we lose Beiping, we will lose the hearts of the people. Taking a step back, even if Japan does not take Pingjin, it is not something we can afford if they open their mouths to blackmail us. Liu Yuan said worriedly.

Chiang Kai-shek nodded and said to Liu Yuan, "To be honest, I am not as good as you, you can see farther than me, and your preparation is better than mine, so I don't interfere in what you do." But there are still a few words I want to tell you, I also know that the three eastern provinces of Lu Dao can't be saved, but it is best to keep Chahar and Rehe, but in case the two provinces are also lost, I will immediately order the 200,000 central army to go north, this is the greatest support I can give you, you can choose generals, but there is one, if you lose the Great Wall, you have to take responsibility. After saying the most slurgy, Chiang Kai-shek's voice became very serious.

Liu Yuan said, "Yue Wumu said, civil officials do not love money, military generals are not afraid of death, the country has hope, I Liu Yuan from the moment I put pen to paper, I never thought about living all the time, the horse leather shroud is the greatest destination of the soldiers, if the Great Wall is lost, the auxiliary country should have died to thank the countrymen." ”

Liu Yuan expressed his determination to Chiang Kai-shek, and Chiang Kai-shek was very moved, and immediately said to Lin Wei beside him, "Promote Hu Zongnan to the commander of the First Army, and go north immediately."

He was promoted to the commander of Fan Hanjie's 27th Army and immediately went north.

Qiu Qingquan was appointed commander of the 10th Division and immediately went north.

The most elite troops can only give you so much, and Shoushan They are all your old brothers, you also command, if you lose, I don't want you to die in battle Thank the world, you will come back, I will scold you in front of everyone, and then go to the army officer school to be the principal. ”

"Xie Lu, Principal Xie." Liu Yuan turned around and prepared to get on the plane. was pulled by Chiang Kai-shek, "Don't you have anything to say to me as a teacher?" ”

Liu Yuan looked at Chiang Kai-shek's pleading look, felt very helpless, patted Chiang Kai-shek's hand and said, "One, Yang Yongtai is a talent, if you protect his safety, at least you can't lose the country." Second, it is very important to reorganize the troops, and it is not necessary for the Central Army to do everything, but to retrain the troops with new German weapons, so that they can go to the battlefield to temper and temper themselves and see blood. Third, the organizational system within the party is tight, there are traitors in the party, and you don't need me to say that you also know the way. Kill those who should be killed, don't hesitate, doesn't the first generation of Wenzong Zeng Guofan also have the nickname of increasing the shaving of his head? Your hair is also about to fall out, so you have to be decisive in what you do. Reconstruct the grassroots party organization, what you don't do must be done, how did the Ming Dynasty die, you know very well, that is, his control over the grassroots is too weak. Fourth, and Kong Xiangxi is not authentic, you can tell your aunt that it is not a good thing to eat mutton before the sheep grows up. Fifth, ordinary people can't do it, that is, the large corps fights together, and the large corps operation is not something that can be solved by a general staff, he needs to reasonably coordinate the relationship between various units and arms, logistics and material reserves, etc., you can send outstanding military cadets to our southwest military academy for further study, we have the best staff team in the world, and the best foreign teachers in the world. Sixth, that is, to rectify the economy, everything in the country must be opened for war in wartime, you should be prepared to do a good job of military supervision in wartime, Chinese businessmen are the best at hoarding, and will also use important materials to cooperate with the enemy. At the same time, the soldiers need to be paid, there is no money, and no soldiers are willing to fight for you. The last one, if you have the heart to compete for the world, you can properly lay out the world, and the auxiliary national dialect is all here. ”

"Fuguo, isn't the world in my hands now?" Chiang Kai-shek looked at Liu Yuan suspiciously.

"When war comes, you will know how fragile everything you have at your disposal, some people will be reborn from the fire, some people will collapse, the war is not over, no one knows whose world it is. You should do the first few things first to ensure that the nation will not perish. The people will remember you. After finishing speaking, Liu Yuan broke free from Chiang Kai-shek and got on the plane.

Liu Yuan's first stop came to Taiyuan, and he saw the legendary old fox Yan Xishan, the years have long smoothed out the pride of a generation of heroes, and now Yan Xishan is more like a rich businessman.

It's round, and it's even a little shaky when you walk. Fu Zuoyi and others gathered around, looking at Liu Yuan as if they were watching the news.

"The newly appointed commander-in-chief of the navy, land and air force of the Central Army turned out to be a doll, can he hold the northeast on his own? Chiang Kai-shek's brain is really burned, isn't it enough to wade into this troubled water at this time and let Zhang Zuolin bear the infamy alone? A staff officer of a major general of the Jin army pouted and looked at Liu Yuan.

Fu Zuoyi shook his head and said to Yan Xishan, "Lao Jiang is a person who understands, he lost the three eastern provinces, scolded Zhang Zuolin first, and then him, so Chiang Kai-shek sent this Liu Fuguo, but I don't know what Liu Fuguo's ability is." ”

Yan Xishan patted Fu Zuoyi's shoulder, his riding boots creaked on the snow, "You don't know him, but I know him very well, we are all people who have come to the road of autonomy, it can be said that to a large extent, we are confidants, but Liu Fuguo has a big heart, I just want Shanxi people to live a good life and go to meet him." ”

"Yan Xishan, commander-in-chief of the Northern Army of the National Revolutionary Army, met with the deputy commander-in-chief of the army, navy and air force of the National Revolutionary Army." Yan Xishan tilted his head and gave Liu Yuan a military salute with a smile.

"Old-timer, what are you doing here?" Liu Yuan gave Yan Xishan a military salute back, and then took Yan Xishan's hand, and was close to Yan Xishan, whether a Shanxi in the east needs support, and a Shanxi in the west needs help.

Yan Xishan can be regarded as a ** lake, how can he not know what Liu Yuan thinks, "You little slippery head, the current state affairs, can I not support you?" Once the battle is lost, you can transfer my subordinate Fu Zuoyi to the north. ”

"How about you give another Shang Zhen." Liu Yuan said inch by inch.

"Yes, but I have to say it, the equipment of the troops will be provided by you, and if you let Japan cross the Great Wall, we will not be able to defend Shanxi." Yan Xishan knew that his lips and teeth were cold in the end, so he chose to support Liu Yuan.

"I still have a score, but I came in a hurry, so I brought you a little gun as a gift, and I have to fly to Beijing, so I will go first." After Liu Yuan finished speaking, he waved his hand, and Li An walked up to Yan Xishan and said, "One hundred thousand Mauser rifles and one million rifle bullets have been secretly shipped from Tianjin, please be ready to receive them." Here are the contact details. After speaking, he followed Liu Yuan and left.

Yan Xishan looked at Liu Yuan's back as he left in a hurry and said enviously, "If I hadn't studied in Japan back then, but the United States, maybe I would have been better than him." ”

From Taiyuan to Beijing caught up with the heavy snow, Liu Yuan could only change trains to Beijing, and before he arrived in Beijing, Liu Yuan got the news that Shenyang had been lost.

First, the Japanese blew up the railroad tracks at Wicker Lake, and then they falsely accused the Chinese of blowing them up, and then the war began.

The Japanese side sent a telegram to the base camp. "The Chinese soldiers of the North Battalion blew up the railroad at Wicker Lake, and the fighting continues." At the same time, Kawashima led a squadron to launch an attack on the northern battalion.

And Kenji Dohihara shamelessly continued to expand the problem, sending a telegram to the chief of staff of the Kwantung Army, Miyake Mitsuji, and the Minister of War Minamijiro, "On December and 18th, at about half an o'clock in the evening, the brutal Chinese soldiers destroyed the Manchurian railway line west of the Beidaying north of Mukden, and attacked our Imperial Japanese garrison. ”

At that time, it was the young marshal Zhang Xueliang who was responsible for defending the Beida Battalion, and he had already realized the beginning of the war, but his father had already transferred most of the arms and materials of the Beida Battalion, so it was almost impossible to defeat the Japanese troops on the frontal battlefield, so after a round of fierce artillery battles, the Beida Battalion troops retreated on all fronts, and the Japanese occupied Shenyang without blood.

As soon as Liu Yuan got off the plane, he saw the endless sea of college students, sitting quietly at the airport as if waiting for something.

"The general is here!" I don't know who shouted the first sentence of the road, and the hula students all came around.

Liu Yuan looked at the student in front of him inexplicably, he didn't know what had happened to him on the train in the past two days.

Looking at the college students with tears in their eyes, Liu Yuan didn't know what the Dao was, which brought tears to their eyes when they were already adults.

Liu Yuan took the hand of a student representative, "Tell me, what happened." "Liu Yuan is most distressed by the pillars of these countries, they are the hope of this country.

"General, you just got off the train, you still don't know what to do, the war is coming, the Japanese occupied our two provinces in the east, Zhang Xueliang was incompetent, lost Liaoning and Jilin, and now Heilongjiang is also in danger, the general's country has reached the time of life and death, you can't watch it like those bureaucrats." The student representative looked at Liu Yuan excitedly, and tears and snot flowed down Liu Yuan's body.

Liu Yuan frowned, he should have come or come, he just didn't expect that all this would come so quickly, if he didn't guess wrong, Zhang Xueliang would definitely not resist at all, but directly chose to escape.

"Go back, I know the matter, fighting a war is a matter for the country, you must study hard now and prepare for the construction of the country." Liu Yuan is the idol of this group of young students, and he is confident that he can convince this group of young students.

"General, we are patriotic to save the country, you once said that the main contradiction plays a decisive role in the development of things, the Japanese imperialists invaded us, then the main contradiction between the country and us now is to solve the imperialist aggression, I hope the general will give us a chance to serve the country, if we are fortunate enough to live until the independence and reunification of the country, we are willing to go back to school for further study." The student representative said excitedly.

Seeing Liu Yuan's hesitant eyes, the people in the back row shouted for fear and worry, "General, you said that young people should use the blood of revolution to bloom the flower of ism, and we are willing to use our blood to liberate the black land that belongs to us." ”

"We are willing to dedicate our lives for the motherland, and we want to be China's Paul Kochakin."

"An inch of rivers and mountains, an inch of blood, 100,000 young men and 100,000 soldiers. Okay, the first order given by me, an executive member of the Military Committee and deputy commander of the navy, army, and air force of the Republic of China, was to allow college students over the age of 18 to report at the Beijing military station, and you will be the elite of the anti-Japanese battlefield. ”
