Jin Zhao smiled, then stood up, walked to the huge map hanging on the wall, pointed to the map and said, "General, please look!" The September 18 Incident, the army occupied the three eastern provinces, the Rehe Incident, the army invaded and occupied Rehe, and the vast area north of the Great Wall, not long ago the army was agitating for the autonomy of the five provinces in North China, and last year Yin Rugeng even declared autonomy in eastern Hebei, openly treason and defected to the enemy. Judging from the behavior of Yueben over the years, Yueben wants to constantly encroach on Huaxia and eventually achieve the goal of encroaching on the whole of China. General, please see, the army now controls all the areas north of Pingjin, and if the army goes further, it will be the Pingjin area. Although the Nanjing political axe has repeatedly compromised and retreated, once the military makes territorial claims to Pingjin, do you think the political axe will retreat again? ”

Seeing Li Hansoul nodding approvingly, Jin Zhao continued, "Lao Jiang understands very well in his heart, the Northeast can retreat, and the Inner Mongolia region can also retreat, but Pingjin can't retreat anymore. Pingjin has always been the core area of our Chinese rule, and Beiping is the ancient capital of several dynasties! If Lao Jiang retreats again, then the prestige of Nanjing's political axe will inevitably be ruined, and with the wolf ambition of the little devil, he will never give up the plan to encroach on China, and then only a full-scale war will break out! Jin Zhao slowly said his reason, and Li Hansoul nodded frequently after listening.

The two talked for a long time, and after the outbreak of the war, Jin Zhao even asserted that once a full-scale war broke out, China would win, and Ben would be defeated! Later, Jin Zhao brought out some theories in Jiang Baili's national defense theory and Taizu's theory of protracted warfare, which made Li Han's soul dizzy, but in the end it also strengthened Li Han's belief that the war of resistance would be won.

In the end, Li Hansoul stood up and said with a serious face, "The contemptible people are willing to join the Seventh Route Army and serve the dogs and horses in the War of Resistance!" ”

Jin Zhao was stunned for a moment, and then understood what Li Hansoul meant. That is, I can join your troops, but Lao Tzu only fights against little devils, if it is a civil war, then I'm sorry! However, Jin Zhao never thought about fighting a civil war again, and even Jin Zhao has been thinking about how to avoid the outbreak of civil war after the end of the Anti-Japanese War. Seeing that Li Hansoul agreed, Jin Zhao immediately showed an excited expression and said with a smile, "Please rest assured, general, my Seventh Route Army has always taken resistance as its own responsibility, and I, Jin Zhao, will never launch a civil war under the banner of resistance!" ”

Then Jin Zhao said with some embarrassment, "As soon as the general arrived, he temporarily wronged the general to serve as the 39th deputy commander and the commander of the supplementary division, I don't know what the general wants?" "In fact, Li Hansoul was also the deputy army commander and division commander before, so it can be regarded as a flat adjustment, and it is not a grievance. But the supplementary division that Jin Zhao said was only a supplementary division after all, and there was no official number at all, so Jin Zhao said so. The commander of the 39th Army was taken over by Lu Xingbang, and Liu Heding, who had long had no real power, had already been assigned by Jin Zhao to the Army Academy as the dean.

Li Hansoul said indifferently, "As long as you can go into battle to kill devils, even if it is a pawn a while ago, you are willing!" ”

Jin Zhao liked Li Hansoul's refreshment very much, and joked with a smile, "The general is a rare general, I am reluctant to let you go into battle!" ”

But what Li Hansoul didn't expect was that after he really went to office, he found that Jin Zhao really didn't wronged himself. Although the position has not changed. However, the supplementary division that Jin Zhao gave himself was much stronger than his original third division of reading power. Most of the supplementary divisions, supplementary regiments, and the like of general troops are unarmed soldiers without guns, and when the time comes, they replenish the consumption of each unit. However, Li Hansoul's supplementary division was completely configured in accordance with the main division, with a total of 20,000 people in the division, and its weapons and equipment were not weaker than those of other main divisions, and the only drawback was that there were many recruits and insufficient combat experience. But even so, such a division is too much stronger than the previous third division.

It turned out that Jin Zhao had already begun to secretly expand the troops, but there was no number, and Jin Zhao didn't want to stimulate Lao Jiang. As a result, each of the two armies organized a supplementary division, and the headquarters set up a instructor, but the main task of the instructor was to train recruits, and then distribute the trained recruits to each unit. In this way, Jin Zhao had a full ten divisions of troops, plus the troops directly under the headquarters, and the total strength exceeded 200,000. If it weren't for the fact that Jin Zhao has been vigorously developing Fujian's industrial and commercial construction in the past two years, the financial revenue of Fujian Province's political axe has increased sharply, and the Fujian Provincial political axe can go bankrupt with military spending alone, but in order to be able to free up a large amount of funds to invest in the construction of the national defense industry, Jin Zhao still used the system to subsidize a lot of military spending.

Just when the Liangguang incident gradually subsided, Xi'an made waves again. On August 29, 1936, the special agents of the Xi'an Military Command arrested Zhang Xueliang's secretary, the representative of the Dongdong University students, and the red underground party members Song Li, Ma Shaozhou, and Guan Peicang. Zhang Xueliang was furious when he learned the news, and ordered Tan Hai to lead the guard battalion to surround and raid the Shaanxi Provincial Party Headquarters, which was known as the "Yanwan Incident". Subsequently, Zhang Xueliang sent a telegram to Chairman Jiang to go to **.

On October 22, 1936, Lao Chiang flew from Nanjing to Xi'an and strictly ordered the Northeast Army to enter and suppress the Red Army. Zhang Xueliang objected to it in person, and put forward a request to stop the civil war and unanimously resist, but Jiang refused, and the two quarreled.

On the 29th, Zhang Xueliang flew to Luoyang to celebrate the birthday of the old Jiang, and once again persuaded Jiang Lianchi to resist, but Jiang refused. Lao Chiang resolutely rejected his idea of going north to resist the Communists, and forced him to suppress the Communists, otherwise he would withdraw his troops to the east.

On November 27, Zhang Xueliang wrote to Chiang Kai-shek, asking for a war of resistance, but Chiang refused.

On December 2, Zhang Xueliang flew to Luoyang to meet Jiang and demanded the release of the "Seven Gentlemen" of the Anti-Japanese Salvation Congress. reported to the old Jiang, saying that his subordinates were unstable and difficult to support, and repeatedly asked Chairman Jiang to give a lecture, and Jiang agreed to go to Xi'an and stay in Qingchi, China.

On December 4, 1936, Lao Jiang went to Xi'an to supervise the war. Zhang Xueliang and Yang Hucheng, director of the Xi'an Pacification Office and commander-in-chief of the 17th Route Army, jointly admonished Jiang, but Jiang refused. Lao Jiang ordered Zhang Xueliang and Yang Hucheng to immediately attack the Red Army in northern Shaanxi, otherwise they would be transferred to Jiangxi and Anhui respectively. On December 7, Zhang Xueliang went to Huaqingchi to see Chiang, repeatedly admonished him, demanded to stop the civil war, and unanimously resisted, but Chiang refused again.

On December 9, the Red Party organized a large-scale mass demonstration to commemorate the "One-Two? The first anniversary of the "Nine" Movement. The special military police shot and wounded a primary school student, and the crowd was very angry and decided to go to Lintong to directly petition and demonstrate to Lao Chiang. Jiang forcibly ordered Zhang Xueliang to stop the student movement and shoot at the students if necessary. After Zhang Xueliang received the order, he caught up with the first team and tried his best to persuade the students to go back. Northeastern University students chanted "Chinese people don't fight Chinese people!" "The Northeast Army will go back to their hometown and recover the lost territory in the Northeast!" and other slogans. Zhang Xueliang told the masses that he would reply to the students' demands with practical actions within a week, and if he couldn't do it, any of you could "put me Zhang Xueliang to death." The petition students sang the song "On the Songhua River" in front of Huaqing Pond, which touched the Northeast sergeants present, and the patriotic mood of the audience was high.
