Every word Chen Feng said was categorical, and the voice from the bottom of his heart was the easiest to move people, after Chen Feng finished speaking, Vice Chairman Zhou opened his mouth, and stopped asking questions after the most reluctance.

However, little progress has been made in this meeting, after all, such a big matter is definitely not something that can be determined by these few people sitting in the cave and talking. On the same day, Chen Feng, Li Zongren and others stayed in the cave in Yan'an, waiting for Yan'an's reply.

That night, the Yan'an side urgently convened a meeting of senior cadres, which was attended by all the senior military and political cadres in Yan'an, and at the same time, many important figures far away from the front line also received urgent orders to return to Yan'an immediately if there were no special circumstances, and there was an important meeting to attend.

For the next three days, all the senior cadres in Yan'an were in a meeting, in the morning and in the afternoon, and sometimes in the evening.

On December 20, Chen Feng held talks with Mr. Zhu and Mr. Zhou, the boss of Yan'an, again, and this time the meeting was a secret meeting, and the number of people was only so few.

The content of the meeting that night was not recorded, and the parties did not mention it afterwards, but after this meeting, the progress of the discussion on the Yan'an side was much faster.

On December 22, 1941, Boss Mao invited Chen Feng to give a speech to the party and government cadres in Yan'an, because the deeper cooperation was opposed by many people in the party, and the main resistance came from some senior cadres who returned from studying in the Soviet Union.

After receiving Boss Mao's invitation, Chen Feng readily agreed, and in the afternoon of the same day, Chen Feng gave a speech that lasted for an hour and a half.

The core of this speech was the relationship between communism and communist party members, and Chen Feng knew that many party members in this era were greatly influenced by the Soviet Union. Previously, the CCP was only a branch of the Comintern in China, under the leadership of the Soviet Union. Therefore, Chen Feng wants to let these communists know that communism does not have borders, but communists have nationality. The prefix of the Chinese Communist Party is China, and before you become a party member, you are first a Chinese.

Chen Feng's speech was very successful, and on the 24th, representatives of the Kuomintang and the Communist Party held plenary talks here, at which the two sides reached an agreement that Yan'an would accept Chen Feng's suggestion and the two sides would carry out deeper cooperation. But given the unpleasantness that has been there before. Cooperation starts with the political aspect.

Yan'an allows some party members to join the GMD in their private names and participate in the political construction of Chongqing, just like those GCD members in Saibei Province, and when the time is ripe, they will cooperate in all aspects.

In addition, Yan'an gradually abolished all base areas. All units are being reorganized in a unified manner. But I just don't understand and reorganize within the New Fourth Army. It was not a big mess, and all the senior officers of the army were sent by Yan'an. However, after the completion of the reorganization, the troops must be under the control and command of the commanders of each theater, which means that the retained establishment must be under command. Both sides are taking a step back.

After reaching an agreement, Chen Feng officially invited the princes of Yan'an to inspect Saibei Province together, and Boss Mao and others readily agreed.

Because the Nationalist Government took the initiative to shrink its forces, retreated on all fronts, and gave up many territories, which were equivalent to several provinces in total size, the Japanese army was also busy taking over new territory during this time, so it stopped the offensive.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, Chen Feng felt the need to show off his muscles to various domestic forces, so that they could have an understanding of his strength as a person.

On December 29, 1941, at the invitation of Chen Feng, some senior military and political officials of the Nationalist Government, as well as Li Zongren and Bai Chongxi of the former Gui lineage, Long Yun of the Yunnan lineage, Yang Sen and Deng Xihou of the Sichuan Army, Ma Bufang, Ma Hongkui and Ma Hongbin of the Ma Jiajun gathered in Guisui.

On the 30th, a grand military parade was held in Guisuicheng, in which a total of 8 infantry regiments, 2 cavalry regiments, 8 artillery regiments, 4 armored regiments, 2 air defense regiments, 2 parachute regiments, 1 engineer regiment, and 1 special forces brigade participated in the parade, in addition to 3 fighter brigades, 2 helicopter regiments, 2 bomber regiments, and 1 transport aircraft brigade.

The effect of the military parade is obvious, among these people who came to Guisui this time, many of them saw Chen Feng's descendants for the first time, when these neatly dressed, well-equipped, and high-morale troops appeared in front of them, everyone was stunned, it was too shocking, China actually has such an elite, it is really incredible.

However, when Chen Feng told them that these troops were all new recruits that had only been formed in the last six months, everyone looked at Chen Feng like a ghost, and the meaning was self-evident.

After the military parade, under the leadership of Chen Feng, these top people in China today inspected Baotou, Dongsheng, Wuhai, Linhe, Datong, Jining, Xinghe, Zhangjiakou, Xilinhot and other cities.

After seeing these places, all the people are numb, is this still in China? Although they were surprised to see a powerful army before, with the huge financial resources of the Chen family, as long as they are willing to spend their money, it is not impossible to build an elite.

However, they could never have imagined that the weapons and equipment used by Chen Feng's troops were all produced in Saibei, including tanks and airplanes. After inspecting these places, everyone's contempt for Chen Feng, a young man, disappeared without a trace, and all that remained was deep admiration.

After the consent of some senior officers, Chen Feng took Li Zongren, Mr. Zhu, Bai Chongxi, Chen Cheng, Yang Sen, Deng Xihou, Ma Bufang and others to the Northeast Front by special plane, where is the essence of Chen Feng's department.

The news that Chen Feng had taken over as the commander of Lao Chiang had already reached the front line, and the morale of the officers and men of the Eighth Theater was high, and Chen Feng received the warmest congratulations from all the officers and men on the front line.

Subsequently, under the command of Chen Feng, the North Route Army spent 4 days to conquer Qiqihar, an important town in North Manchuria, severely damaged 4 Japanese divisions, surrounded and annihilated 2 puppet army divisions and a Japanese infantry brigade, and the army began to march towards Harbin, the center of the North Manchurian and Japanese puppet rule.

The performance of the officers and men on the northern front once again shocked everyone, especially when the armored forces of the two sides were engaged in a strategic decisive battle in Qiqihar, and thousands of armored vehicles and tanks rushed back and forth within a radius of more than ten kilometers, which made Li Zongren and others, who claimed to be experienced in a hundred battles, also extremely surprised.

On January 15, 1942, the delegation returned to Chongqing. This trip to the north was completely a fantasy trip for Li Zongren and others, and the strong scale and combat effectiveness of the troops under Chen Feng's command made them feel extremely shocked, especially after seeing the real battle between the Chinese and Japanese armies, Li Zongren deeply felt the strength of the Kwantung Army, and the war in Northeast China seemed to be completely different from the war in Central China, North China and South China.

In the northeast, it was a decisive battle between mechanized troops, and both sides not only invested a large number of mechanized infantry, but also invested a large number of artillery and armored troops.

The most shocking thing is that even in such a large-scale high-tech war, China actually won it, and it won it very beautifully, which made Li Zongren and others not reassess Chen Feng's strength.

On January 20, 1942, Chen Feng convened a military and political conference in Chongqing at the level of commander of the theater and the chairman of various provinces and provinces, at which it was decided that the Military Commission would be the highest military command organ of the Nationalist Government. The chairman of the Military Commission exercises the supreme command of the army, navy, and air force, and authorizes Chen Feng to exercise unified command over the party and government. Implement the standing committee system within the Military Commission, and set up the Chief of Staff to assist the Chairman to guide the various departments, conferences, and offices set up by the Military Commission and handle all business; The Deputy Chief of Staff assists the Chief of Staff in all operations.

Under the chairman, in addition to the military commissioners, there is also a secretary-general and a deputy secretary-general. and set up the first department, in charge of military orders; the second part, taking charge of the strategy; the third part, in charge of the defense industry; the fourth part, in charge of the national economy; the fifth part, in charge of international publicity; The sixth part is to organize training for the people. There are also management departments, rear service departments, health service departments, guard execution departments, secretariat offices, attendant rooms, etc.

On the same day, Chen Feng read out an order appointing 21 people, Feng Yuxiang, Li Zongren, Cheng Qian, Chen Shaokuan, Li Jishen, Long Yun, Bai Chongxi, Yang Sen, Zhu Laozong, Peng Laozong, Zhou Enlai, He Yingqin, Xu Yongchang, Song Zheyuan, Wei Lihuang, Hu Zongnan, Zhu Shaoliang, Chen Cheng, Zhang Fakui, Yu Xuezhong, and Li Wensheng, as members of the Central Military Commission, and Bai Chongxiren as chief of staff.

At the meeting, Chen Feng announced a national military reform plan, and China's entire national defense strength is divided into 11 major theaters according to the current situation of the enemy and us, namely, the Northeast Theater, the Northern Theater, the Northwest Theater, the North China Theater, the Central China Theater, the South China Theater, the Southwest Theater, the Chongqing Theater, the Yan'an Theater, the Burma Theater, and the Nanyang Theater.
