The collection of petroleum smelting equipment was handed over to the people below. After all, he is not an expert in this area, and he knows that he does not have to be hands-on in everything.

After inspecting the oil fields, Huang Ke went to inspect the mixed combat exercises conducted by the 11th, 16th, and 18th Group Armies of the Northeast Theater of the National Defense Force.

This was a brand-new mixed combat exercise, which involved not only units belonging to the three major group armies newly trained in the Northeast Theater, but also a brigade of the Air Force, plus local armed police, totaling tens of thousands of people.

The three major armies sent their own elite armored mixed regiments to simulate training between the enemy and us, and there was no operational background or operational outline, only two sides confronted each other, so the officers and men were all full of energy to fight.

For a time, the chariots roared, the fighters roared, countless soldiers fought and shouted, and a burst of wolf smoke rolled up on the vast black land!

Autumn soldiers on the battlefield! Huang Ke, who was born in the military, was naturally very happy, and he said happily to Zhang Xueliang: "Han Qing, it seems that you still have a set of training, and the current group armies not only do a good job of infantry and artillery coordination, but also infantry and tan coordination and air-ground cooperation are very good, haha, I didn't see the wrong person!" ”

"Haha, these are the credits of the people below, and they have nothing to do with me, go! Let's go and inspect it. Zhang Xueliang smiled with a cigarette holder. Today he is also very happy, a strong army has always been his goal, and now seeing the army under his command can be so brave, he naturally shows joy.

At the end of the exercise, Huang Ke, Zhang Xueliang, and other cadres naturally asked to inspect all departments. Yu Xuezhong, under Zhang Xueliang, served as the commander-in-chief and accompanied him to review the three armies. It was only after the establishment of the National Defense Force that the Chinese army had an infantry drill in the true sense of the word, and the military parade after the exercise was also newly implemented.

In the sound of majestic military music, the soldiers with gunpowder on their faces were reviewed. Huang Ke and Zhang Xueliang raised their right hands together to salute the soldiers.

When the military parade was underway, an urgent telegram from the military staff came from the confidential room where the telegram was sent and received.

They had no choice but to tell Fourteen Tsai about the situation, and when Fourteen Tsai saw the words "special emergency" from the Military Staff Headquarters, he immediately realized that this was a major military intelligence related to national security, and without waiting for the review to end, he stepped forward to report to Huang Ke secretly.

Huang Ke continued to smile after hearing this, but the pace of the review accelerated significantly. Ten minutes later, the two ended the review ahead of schedule, and as soon as Huang Ke returned to the temporary command post, the people below handed over the copied telegram, and Huang Ke's expression changed after reading it.

"What's going on?" After Zhang Xueliang asked, he realized that he had made some mistakes, he and Huang Ke had a good personal relationship, but after all, they had a subordinate relationship between superiors and subordinates, and some things could not be inquired about casually.

However, Huang Ke's next words dispelled his concerns, and Huang Ke said: "Something happened in the northwest!" Another Wang Maocai! Sheng Shicai and Lao Maozi colluded, starting from Tacheng, wearing the clothes of the national army to attack many places, and now the Northwest National Army has suffered heavy losses, Ma Zhongying's troops have been scattered, Sheng Shicai led his troops to attack to the east, and Lao Maozi clamored to take Lanzhou. ”

When he said these words, Huang Ke couldn't help but smile bitterly, and he scolded: "Lao Tzu misses Wang Maocai a little bitch, it doesn't seem to be a wise move to transfer him from the northwest back then." ”

Zhang Xueliang frowned, and after thinking for a while, he said: "Wang Maocai has always been anti-minded, leaving him in the northwest may be able to see Sheng Shicai, but it is even more difficult to say whether he colludes with Lao Maozi, Lao Maozi is more cunning than the little devil, Wang Maocai is more shameless than Sheng Shicai, and it may be a bigger trouble when the time comes." ”

"Makes sense!" Huang Ke said perfunctorily and then said: "Forget it, don't talk about this." Inform me that I am going to arrange a flight back to Nanjing. ”

"I've already sent someone to arrange it, presumably it will be enough for a while, and you don't have to be in too much of a hurry. Zhang Xueliang waved his hand and motioned for someone to urge again.

He then said to Huang Ke: "Minister Huang, it is also the duty of the National Defense Force to investigate civil strife. If we need to transfer troops, our Northeast Theater is duty-bound, and Sheng Shicai is also from the old Northeast Army, and now we also have the responsibility to clean up the portal. ”

Huang Ke patted him on the shoulder and said: "No, the situation in the northwest is different from other places, not only involving territory, but also ethnic and religious issues, it is easy to defeat a prosperous era, but it is not easy to govern there." ”

"To give you a thorough explanation, I don't plan to tear my face with them, some time ago because of the investigation of corruption, I have annoyed a Wang Maocai, I don't want to force Sheng Shicai to be the next Wang Maocai, if they are all Wang Maocai, then who will lead the troops to fight? Haha, Brother Han Qing, you can lead the troops to garrison the northeast, this is our treasure house now, and you will feel at ease when you guard the brothers in front of you to fight. ”

"Haha, this gazi in the northeast is a treasure trove, but it is all our Chinese. Now no one dares to show their teeth against the Northeast anymore, the Japanese can't do it, the Soviets can't do it, now we have a hard gun in our hands, whoever dares to mess with them will beat him for a dog day, haha! Zhang Xueliang smiled heartily after vulgarly saying this.

Huang Ke didn't feel anything wrong, and smiled heartily.

After a few gossips, Fourteen Tsai walked in and reported that Huang Ke's special plane had been arranged and would be ready to take off from the field airfield. His special plane was originally on duty 24 hours a day, filled with fuel at any time, and could basically take off under non-extreme weather conditions.

"Got it." Huang Ke picked up the military hat on the table, put it on his head in a proper manner, and walked out with strong steps.

"Wait a minute, I'll send you!" Zhang Xueliang also ran out after him.

Zhang Xueliang and his generals accompanied him to see off the plane, Huang Ke's steps were very fast, and Zhang Xueliang could only keep up with him by trotting.

"Alright, leave it at that!"

"Minister Huang, I wish you success!"

……

Before leaving, Huang Ke and Zhang Xueliang waved their hands, and he shouted loudly in the roar of the plane: "Han Qing, in less than three years, the northwest will become the next northeast!" ”

"I believe it!" Zhang Xueliang also said loudly.

In the roar of the propeller, Huang Ke had to end his trip to the northeast and hurriedly flew back to Nanjing.

Huang Ke was never able to calm down on the plane, and his mind fluctuated with the shuttle of the plane.

Time flies, in the blink of an eye 1935 has passed most of the time, in this past time, many changes have taken place in the country, some good and some bad, oil field exploitation, Jiangnan Heavy Industry Group expansion of scale, domestic grain basic self-sufficiency, clean government construction to a higher level, Wang Maocai southeast autonomy, the Yangtze River flooded again, etc., on the whole it is better than more, or in response to that sentence, there are always more ways than difficulties.

Along with the changes at home, there have also been earth-shaking changes internationally. Internationally, the impact of the economic crisis in the United States is gradually fading, President Roosevelt's New Deal is also in full swing, and a new power is once again standing; In Europe, Germany began to announce the implementation of compulsory military service, developed the navy, army, air force and other branches of the military, and openly challenged the Treaty of Versailles.

The international turmoil made Huang Ke feel a little excited and worried. The excitement is that China has now been able to occupy a prominent position in the political landscape, but the fear is the impending war.

Nazi Germany is intensifying in Europe, and it is only a matter of time before they provoke a large-scale war in Europe and even the world, which Huang Ke is convinced of, but what will the Japanese side do? In what way will the war be waged?

What about other countries besides Japan? The Soviet Union in the north, Britain and France in Indochina, where will these foreign enemies go?

Huang Ke couldn't help frowning.

If there is a war with Japan or the Soviet Union at this time, Huang Ke is confident that the army can hold on to the two lines of defense and organize an effective counterattack, but the slow construction of the navy makes him a little anxious.

Worried inside and outside, Huang Ke felt a little haggard, but he couldn't stop. Not long ago, in order to strengthen communication with foreign countries and gain more political bargaining chips, Huang Ke drew up a plan for a foreign visit. He planned to go to Germany and the United States, and now it seemed that the Soviet Union had to be added to them.

However, when he thought of Stalin's arrogant attitude, Huang Ke was angry. Hurt these old hairy people first, and they will know that the Chinese are not so easy to bully.

"Fourteen boys, you record, I want to dictate a telegram." Huang Ke said to Fourteen Tsai.

Fourteen quickly brought pens and paper, because the plane was not very stable, the turbulent air flow made the plane still dance from time to time, Fourteen just unscrewed a bottle of pen water spilled on the ground, a pile of good record paper all turned into black waste paper.

There was no way to fetch water for a pen, and Fourteen was blind for a while, so he hurried to another room to find pen water. He came back not long after leaving, only to find that Huang Ke had already drafted and written the order.

Seeing Fourteen Tsai coming over with a pen, Huang Ke rolled up his sleeves and said: "If you want to use local materials, I think that brush is good, so I will take it and use it, but the writing is not good-looking, but the military situation is urgent, and I can't care so much, you go and ask the people in the confidential room to copy it for me to see, and then send it to the whole army." ”

"Yes!"
