However, on the evening of the 23rd, after Zhang Xueliang learned that the Red Party did not want to make public the expression of the "Trinity", the situation took a turn for the worse, and the original "Jiang was asked to accept and guarantee the implementation (six conditions)" was changed to only two Song guarantees; changed "withdraw the troops first, release the people first (Seven Gentlemen)" to as long as Jiang orders the withdrawal of troops; The military and political organization of the Northwest Trinity, which demanded that Chiang recognize, be abolished at all.

On December 24, 1936, Lao Chiang made the following oral reply to the six propositions of Xi'an, namely: 1. Order the Eastern Route Army to withdraw from the east of Tongguan and the Central Army to leave the northwest; 2. Entrust Kong and Song as the presidents and vice presidents of the Executive Yuan, and assign Kong and Song and Zhang Shang to organize the list of mansions. Jiang decided to order He Yingqin to go abroad, and Zhu Shaoliang and the central personnel left Shaanxi and Gansu; 3. Chiang returned to Beijing first, and then released the seven patriotic leaders; 4. Lianchi Rongchi, unanimously external, the Red Army Soviet area remains unchanged, after Zhang secretly helped the Red Army, and then took joint action after the Anti-Japanese War, and changed the number; 5. Jiang Yikai National Assembly; 6. Advocate the alliance with Russia and the United Kingdom and the United States.

Lao Jiang did not sign any agreement for his promise, and some subordinates of the Northeast Army and the Northwest Army reacted to Zhang Xueliang with dissatisfaction, saying: "We are carrying our heads to do it for you, why didn't we even sign in the end?" Zhang replied: "Your political consciousness is not as high as mine, although Jiang was arrested, but his political strength is still there, since we want to release him and praise him as a leader, then force him to sign, he will regret it then, and it is good to ask for a gentleman's agreement." But what Zhang Xueliang didn't expect was that his righteous brother was not a gentleman at all. After the peaceful settlement of the Xi'an Incident, Zhang Xueliang personally escorted Lao Jiang back to Nanjing, but was directly arrested by Lao Jiang, and then placed under house arrest for decades, but Zhang Xueliang had a better life than Yang Hucheng, at least he saved his life, and Yang Hucheng was killed by Lao Jiang to vent his anger before Lao Jiang evacuated the mainland. (Of course, this is real history, and history has changed in this book.)

On the afternoon of December 25, 1936, Chiang Kai-shek left Xi'an by plane, accompanied by Zhang Xueliang. When it was said to arrive in Luoyang. Before leaving Xi'an, Zhang left a warrant to hand over the Northeast Army to Yang Hucheng's command.

On December 26, 1936, Chiang Kai-shek arrived in Nanjing, and the Xi'an Incident was resolved peacefully. As a result of the Xi'an Incident and its peaceful resolution, the ten-year civil war was finally ended and domestic peace was achieved.

Because Jin Zhao had known history for a long time, he did not show any surprise at the occurrence of the Xi'an Incident, and after the incident, he only sent a few telegrams symbolically, calling on both sides to exercise restraint and resolve the Xi'an Incident in a peaceful way.

Time finally quietly entered 1937, and Jin Zhao knew that there was only half a year before the outbreak of the full-scale Anti-Japanese War, so he hurried up to prepare for the war. First of all, Jin Zhao once again reorganized the Seventh Route Army in Fujian and formulated a detailed reorganization plan.

According to this reorganization plan, after the reorganization is completed, each division will have two brigades and six regiments under its jurisdiction, and the total strength of each regiment will reach about 2,500 people, and each brigade will have artillery battalions, engineer battalions, baggage battalions, and other directly subordinate units, with a total strength of about 10,000 people. Each division has directly subordinate artillery regiments, tank regiments, engineer regiments, baggage regiments, guard battalions, and other directly subordinate units, and the total strength of a division reaches about 30,000.

In the past three years, Jin Zhao has recruited dozens of pilots by digging into the wall, and the 19th Route Army Flight Team has more than 20 pilots, and the Wuyishan Flight Brigade has more than 80 pilots. In total, there were more than one hundred and fifty pilots. In the past three years, more than 300 pilots have been trained to participate in combat, and nearly 1,000 pilots are being trained at the Air Force Academy. And Jin Zhao successively summoned more than 100 pilots, so that Jin Zhao's active pilots reached more than 600 people. But Jin Zhao believed that this was far from enough, and ordered the Air Force Academy to continue to expand its enrollment and train more pilots.

However, Jin Zhao did not vigorously expand the Air Force, and at present the Air Force only has more than 200 fighters of various types. The aircraft factory in Fuzhou has already been put into operation, and there was originally a naval aircraft manufacturing department in Mawei, Fuzhou, and after Jin Zhao took charge of Fujian, he established the Fuzhou Aircraft Manufacturing Company on this basis. Wang Zhu, who served as the first chief engineer of Boeing Aircraft Company, was hired as chief engineer.

Wang Zhuzi Yupeng, a pioneer of Huaxia Airlines, the father of Boeing Aircraft. Wang Zhu was born in July 1**3 in Puji Village, southwest of Nangong City, Hebei Province. After graduating from university, he engaged in the aviation industry, and made outstanding achievements, was one of the founders of the Boeing Company in the United States, served as the first chief engineer of the company, designed the B seaplane, and sold 50 at once, so that the company began to gain a firm foothold.

It stands to reason that Wang Zhu can stay in the United States and continue to expand the field of aircraft manufacturing; As a veteran of Boeing, he can also amass a large personal fortune. If this is the case, it is likely that Wang Zhu will already have a place on the world's rich list. However, when the **&w-C seaplane had just achieved commercial success, he turned around and returned to China. Some historical sources explain: "In the winter of 1917, in order to serve the country, Ba Yuzao, Wang Zhu, and Wang Xiaofeng resolutely gave up the superior working conditions and living conditions abroad, and they became the first batch of senior aeronautical engineers to return from studying abroad. ”

In fact, Wang Zhu returned to China "angrily". While in the United States, he was severely racist. Although Wang Zhu was the author of the design and manufacture of the seaplane, the United States did not allow Wang Zhu to enter the test site during the flight test, fearing that he would secretly learn "the highest aviation technology in the United States."

This obvious discrimination against the Chinese made Wang Zhu extremely angry, and also made him more aware of the significance of the strength of the motherland. Wang Zhu, who was unwilling to endure humiliation in the United States, chose to return to China without hesitation to develop his own aviation career in China.

After Wang Zhu and others returned to China, they strongly asked Beiyang Zhengaxe to raise funds to establish an aircraft factory. In February 1918, the first formal aircraft factory in China, the Naval Aircraft Engineering Department of the Mawei Ship Administration Bureau, was established, and Wang Zhu was appointed as the deputy director. In August 1919, Wang Zhu and his friend Ba Yuzao successfully designed and manufactured the first seaplane for the Navy, the "A-1" primary trainer aircraft.

In the 12 years from 1918 to 1930, the Naval Aircraft Engineering Department successively designed and manufactured 15 aircraft such as trainer aircraft, coastal patrol aircraft, and torpedo bombers, and cultivated China's first generation of aeronautical engineering and technical personnel. During this period, Wang Zhu made great contributions.

Jin Zhao also learned about these things after taking over Fujian, after Jin Zhao went to the Naval Aircraft Engineering Office of the Mawei Ship Administration Bureau for the first time, and learned that the Aircraft Engineering Office had made such great achievements, Jin Zhao was overjoyed, and immediately did not meet the opposition of the navy, and turned the department into the name of the Fujian Provincial Political Axe, and invested in the expansion and vigorously expanded the aircraft factory, and dug back Wang Zhu and others who had been transferred.
