The three of them ordered a plate of original hot pot in a hot pot restaurant. The main ingredients of the hot pot are meat from the northwest, such as beef and mutton.
The newly built canning processing factory in Chengdu is a major customer of this kind of meat. The canning factory processes the meat and produces cans for military grain reserves. Some of it is sold in the market. The meat that is not easy to preserve is purchased for hot pot.
The three of them were eating, laughing and chatting about homely matters.
"Boss, have you not cleaned your meat? Why are there still a few hairs on it?"
"Oh, I'm sorry! I'm sorry! The store is too busy now, and my business is not big, so I can't afford to hire people. Brother, please bear with me."
Lao Yang was not looking for trouble in the first place. There were diners everywhere, the shop was packed, and he understood the boss. The owner is affordable and the store has been open for more than ten years. It has finally become popular recently, but the meat and the price have not changed much.
"Forget it, clean it better next time, we are all old customers."
"Thank you, thank you, definitely, next time." The boss apologized and hurriedly greeted the guests next door, sweating profusely.
The three of them didn't bother the boss anymore. They poured wine and chatted while drinking. It was very lively.
While chatting, Lao Yang suddenly whispered to Old Lin Wang beside him: "Under the second pillar, there is a man in a short shirt. It seems that he is the target."
Lao Wang didn't look back when he heard the words, but said loudly: "Boss, bring some bowls, the flies are all in the bowls!"
With the sound of shouting, Lao Wang glanced at the man with his eyes, and then quickly looked away.
"It's him. This guy asked me a lot of information at the time, but he didn't look like a small businessman at all. It was probably just a clue."
The three of them nodded imperceptibly and started mumbling again.
After the three of them changed bowls and drank some, Lao Wang stood up and quietly followed the man who had just gone out.
"Because we quickly captured Sichuan Province, a large number of spies have recently poured into Sichuan Province. They used to infiltrate into Jincheng, but now many people have infiltrated into Chengdu. Our workload will increase a lot. A group of spies have been sent from above. When people come down, Boss Huang has repeatedly told us to pay special attention to the island country’s espionage personnel, so everyone should pay attention.”
After speaking, Lao Yang also stood up and left the store.
Lao Lu waited for a while and waited for a young man to hand over a pen, then he paid the bill and left the store.
"md! It's me who pays the bill every time... two people just barely survive!"
Lu Song did not deliberately look for those two people, but rushed towards the meeting place...
Hua Mi was frightened by the military strength of the Northwest Army and did not dare to launch a war easily. In fact, the main reason was that there were many people who opposed him internally. Moreover, the Northwest Army had strong combat capabilities and sophisticated weapons. Hua Mi even sent his own men to Jincheng to discuss arms. purchase.
The growing military strength of the Northwest Army made it difficult for Hua Mi to sleep and eat. After Zhang Yunhan revealed his main battle strength of 300,000 troops against the 700,000-strong army, Hua Mi was wise enough not to seek death anymore, but began to take back power and consolidate his own power. rule.
In mid-1931, the Northwest Army captured Sichuan Province. Although it caused a lot of dissent in the country, it didn't take long for people to stop discussing the matter.
Great Wall
This is a great building left by the Chinese ancestors, in the wilderness, winding from the east coast to the northwest desert. In the age of cold weapons, the Great Wall was a barrier for peace and tranquility.
In 1931, a war broke out in Shanhaiguan. This is an ominous sign for those who have a premonition! It means weapons and artillery fire are coming.
Japan openly declared that Rehe belonged to the Puppet Manchukuo, but repeatedly tried to induce the surrender of Rehe but was rejected, so Japan began its armed invasion!
In Jincheng, Zhang Yunhan looked at the map and asked his secretary Li Bochuan.
"Suiyuan is now in the hands of our army. How is the transportation construction going?"
"Frontline support is not a problem, and our logistics construction has already produced results."
"Um."
Zhang Yunhan looked at Noda's map and thought about how to complete the task of 10 provinces.
The task interface is now displayed (7/10)
The northwest is already under his control. Now that he has taken over Sichuan Province, the military expansion plan has been finalized. 10 armies will begin to reorganize. By then, there will be at least 500,000 troops. The local garrison forces are still being strengthened. Although the second-line troops They do not participate in large-scale battles, but their presence in defensive battles is definitely indispensable.
Moreover, the second-line troops are the guarantee for large-scale reserve forces.
There is no war in the northwest now, and only the northeast has room for expansion.
Looking at Jin Province, Chahar, and Rehe, Zhang Yunhan knew that the battle with the Japs was coming soon.
But before that, we must capture Jin Province and enhance the strength of the Northwest Army. For no other reason than that, the Intelligence Bureau has reported many times that Mao Xiong has the idea of attacking the Western Region. When the time comes, his own troops will definitely be involved, so Jin Province must be solved. , expand its military strength to the Northwest Army and strengthen the main force in the Western Regions. With Lao Maozi's character, it is really possible to launch an attack on the Western Regions.
"Order Qiu Ziwen to move our army from the Suiyuan direction towards Jin Province in a manner to encircle us."
"Our army from Shaanxi Province moves towards Jin Province and surrounds it, but cannot fight."
"Send personnel to invite Yan Baichuan to visit Northwest Industries. If Yan Baichuan doesn't come, his confidants will come."
"Commander, what are you doing?"
"Bochuan, the best strategy is to attack the enemy's army without fighting. With our army's firepower, weapons and equipment, it is not a problem to capture Jin Province. The problem is that if we fall into a quagmire, peanuts will If Mi attacks us from behind, we will be in danger."
"Jin Province has a large population and rich mineral resources. Yan Baichuan has built many industries. We can develop rapidly based on him."
"A broken Jin Province is not what I need. I need a stable Jin Province now, an eastern barrier."
"The battle against the Japanese army will never be accomplished overnight. Our army currently has 7 provinces. The army in the Western Region must ensure that the border between Sichuan and Shaanxi must be defended by a large army. The same is true for Jin Province."
"In the end, we still don't have enough troops, but as long as our army has 100,000 troops, it won't be a problem to sweep little Japan out of Northeast China."
"And this is my purpose in taking over Jin Province. It is a strategic support point in the east. To the north, we can support supplies, to the east we can defend, and to the south we can unite Shaanxi and Sichuan to form a riverfront front."
…
The Northwest Army did not stop after taking Sichuan Province again. It was still running at a fast pace. Military vehicles carrying soldiers arrived around Jin Province. The army was galloping in all directions. Yan Baichuan had never slept peacefully since he learned the news. .
In his opinion, although Jin Province is easy to defend and difficult to attack, how can it be as difficult to attack as Sichuan Province?
Yan Baichuan soon received an inspection invitation from Zhang Yunhan. Taking into account Yan Baichuan's concerns, Zhang Yunhan said that he could send his confidants to inspect and exchange.
