Chapter VIII The Betrayal Section 2 The Journey to Northern Shaanxi (2)

You know, there are dozens of bends in the Yellow River in the world, dozens of bends, and dozens of bends in Buzhou. "Get down,: Hey boats? Hey dozens of poles on the boats?"

Zhuang Jihua's fingers tapped gently on the car window with the rhythm. It has been more than a month since he arrived in the northwest. He often heard such songs with a loessy flavor and a sense of vicissitudes, but every time he heard him, he felt a sense of familiarity. This may be the song he was most familiar with in this era...

After traveling around the northwest for more than a month, he made a general understanding of this land. He had never been to the northwest before, and only various reports learned from various reports that this is an extremely poor area in most areas. Although the Hetao Plain is rich, it is still far inferior to Jiangxi compared to the northwest region.

Unlike Jiangxi, the folk customs here are extremely strong. The way the army handles affairs is completely different from that in the south of the Yangtze River. In just one month, he witnessed a fight, and the cause was a simple source of water.

The whole village was dispatched, fighting by the water stream. Men rushed in front, women followed behind, and all the elderly and children went into battle. The scene was so grand. Everyone who was used to big scenes was surprised. The military situation in the entire northwest made Zhuang Jihua basically satisfied. Fu Zuoyi's army, which occupied the Hetao Plain, was reorganizing the army. Fu Zuoyi's army was the main force of the Eighth War Zone, and the combat effectiveness of the troops ranks among the top three of the Northwest divisions. However, the biggest problem of the unit was that the equipment was poor. The infantry weapons were mainly made in Hanyang or Jin, with few artillery pieces, and the military pay had never been paid. On the one hand, Fu Zuoyi's jurisdiction overhauled water conservancy and implemented rent reductions; on the other hand, he vigorously reorganized the army and set up several military schools. He took turns to reorganize the lower-level officers and reorganized the troops and scraped the troops, and his combat effectiveness increased significantly.

In addition to Fu Zuoyi's army, another unit in the northwest also made him look at it with admiration, that is, the Hui Muslim troops in the northwest. Ma Hongyi's 17th Army was composed of Hui Muslim from Qinghai and Gansu, but like most of the Kuomintang troops, this army was composed of Ma Bufang from Qinghai and Ma Hongyi's army in Gansu. The greatest combat effectiveness of this Hui Muslim army does not come from their war horses and swords, but from their beliefs. All Hui Muslim believe in Islam, and each regiment has an A Xun. Every time he goes to battle, A Xun has to go with the army to boost morale, so the soldiers are not afraid of death.

The biggest problem for the northwest troops is the equipment. Except for the southern part of Hu Zong, the rest of the troops are poorly equipped. For example, the equipment of the Hui Muslim troops is mainly made in Hanyang, and even Jin is very few, and there are not even enough bullets. They mainly rely on war horses and sabers.

Every time Zhuang Jihua met, the generals complained to him about weapons. Zhuang Jihua could only tell them that it would take time to fully solve the weapons and equipment. His wife bought equipment from 100 factories in the US Jing B. Guizhou development has entered a stage of rapid development. As long as she waits for another year, domestic equipment can be delivered to the northwest.

After returning from the Hetao front line, Zhuang Jihua no longer cared about anything and went to Xi'an to play and listen to movies. Or he went to Hu Zongnan's troops and ignored everything, and just gathered with Li Tiejun and a group of classmates, as if on holiday.

In Zhuang Jihua in Xi'an, there was an unexpected person, that is, Xuan Xiafu. After the fall of Wuhan, the liaison office in the fifth war zone was revoked. Xuan Xiafu was transferred back to Yan'an to study at the Anti-Japanese University. He graduated last year and was sent to Xi'an to serve as deputy director of the office.

Xuan Xia's father brought another accident to Zhuang Jihua. He formally asked Zhuang Jihua to invite him to visit Yan'an. This invitation made Zhuang Jihua a little embarrassed. Zhang Jingjiang would inform him in time for everything that happened in Chongqing. Although he was mentally prepared, Gong Xiuhua was still very worried because this would shake the confidence of Zhuang Jihua's followers in him.

On the contrary, Li Zhilong didn't care. In Li Zhilong's view, Zhuang Jihua mainly relied on his common ideal to gather these followers together. As long as this ideal is not shattered, they will not leave, and those who leave are more speculators.

Zhuang Jihua did not reply to Xuan Xiafu. After a few days of consideration, he decided to accept Xuan Xiafu's invitation. However, he did not let Li Zhilong go with him, and Li Zhilong himself was unwilling to go. He found Jie and used the excuse to visit Yan Xishan, the commander of the Second War Zone, to Ke Nanpo. Zhuang Jihua and Gong Xiuhua went to Yan'an together with Xuan Xiafu.

In early autumn, northern Shaanxi is full of exposed hills, yellow surfaces, and wind blowing from the north. It brings yellow sand and desolate and ancient singing.

Xuan Xiafu sat in a car behind. His eyes were aimlessly observing around, but his thoughts were rising one after another. The Central Committee decided to invite Zhuang Jihua to Yan'an for careful consideration. The Central Committee believed that Zhuang Jihua and Chiang Kai-shek were different. Judging from his previous opinions, he advocated maintaining the anti-Japanese united front, closely related to democratic figures, and was a democratic faction within the Kuomintang. Historically, he had never participated in the war against the Communist Party, and had a good impression of our party, and had also provided great help to our party. The name: winning him is a huge victory for our party's anti-Japanese united front...

"We should do the work of the anti-Japanese united front to Chiang Kai-shek. The strong Hunan dialect sounded in his ears. It has been nearly twenty years since we had been dealing with Zhuang Jihua. Especially in the fifth war zone, Xuan Xiafu realized the complexity of this person. He could donate thousands of guns to the New Fourth Army without caring about it, but he could also encourage the Kuomintang army to attack the Eighth Route Army and the New Fourth Army without caring about it.

During the study of the Anti-Japanese University, he thought that Zhuang Jihua should be classified as that type of people, or in the class in China today. After thinking for a long time, he still classified him as a petty bourgeoisie. Although he is now tall, he is still a petty bourgeoisie in essence.

He really couldn't see clearly what the gains and losses of Zhuang Jihua were when he invited to Yan'an this time.

"Cultural Revolution, can you see anal murderer when you go to Yan'an this time? Gong Xiuhua asked through the calmness in the car.

"I don't know." Zhuang Jihua's eyes were still on the field outside the window, and he replied casually: "It's better to see that he is the actual leader, understand his ideas, and convince him that he can guarantee domestic peace after the victory of the War of Resistance."

"If the industrial base in the southwest can be completed," Gong Xiuhua sighed and said: "The strength of the Kuomintang will double. Your teacher may not agree to them retain the army and regime, and I am afraid it will be difficult to protect it.

"Then you look down on them too much." Zhuang Jihua understood the meaning of the White House embroidery painting. It had a strong industrial foundation and an army trained by the War of Resistance. Chiang Kai-shek would no longer allow Yan'an to retain the army. He would not allow Yan'an to maintain his current state of justice, nor would he submit easily. Civil war would break out and be eliminated: "The current distribution of base areas, Yicha War Zone, Rehe, Shandong, Shanxi, Shandong and Shanxi, are still fine. Chahar and Rehe have a great effect. They are close to Mongolia and can completely get assistance from the Soviet Union. Therefore, once the war starts, it is difficult to say that victory or defeat is. Once the war lasts for more than one year, the Kuomintang is more likely to fail.

"Will the Kuomintang fail?" Wu Ziniu, who was sitting in the passenger seat, was a little disbelief. He looked back at Zhuang Jihua, looking very surprised. Zhuang Jihua adjusted his seat and said lightly: "The victory or defeat of the war has never been just a comparison of military power, but more about politics and economy. What happened in Chongqing shows. The demand for democratic politics will become more and more intense. I estimate that after the war, one will be reached, and this will be used as a call to unite all democratic parties. Be politically active. In terms of economy, the country's economic difficulties have not been restored for more than ten years. The national finance cannot be improved. Therefore, once a war breaks out, the economic and political pressure will not be strong, the National Government may not be able to win.

Zhuang Jihua didn't dare to say anything. He had already clearly felt that his influence on history was getting bigger and bigger. I won't talk about the Battle of Myanmar. Just talk about the industrial foundation of Chuiqing. The development of the southwest lasted for ten years, and even if it was five years of fighting and construction, the benefits generated were amazing. From the shortcomings, this industry in the southwest solved the weapons and equipment that the army needed, improved the equipment of the army, and could fight face-to-face with the Japanese army. But from a deeper perspective, the significance was even more extraordinary.

In total, more than one million people have benefited from the military industry and its extended industries. They work for these factories and receive wages. Not only does it solve employment, it also drives market prosperity and alleviates economic pressure?

More importantly, Zhuang Jihua's success made Chiang Kai-shek pay more attention to industry, so during the US negotiations, Soong Mei-ling's desire for industrial equipment exceeded his desire for arms. He purchased all industrial equipment for $500 million. Once these factories were completed and put into production, the war potential of the Kuomintang army would rise by two levels.

Large-scale industrial construction has expanded the cities and urbanization has absorbed surplus rural labor. It has made rural conflicts less intense, the overall social contradictions have decreased, society is more stable than before, and ordinary people’s support for the government has increased.

Of course, there are still weaknesses, and some of them are even fatal. First of all, this is not stable and lacks guarantees. For example, rent reduction and interest reduction are forced to be implemented by administrative orders. Once government control is weakened, landlords will definitely rebound and rural conflicts will rise again. Secondly, the entire system is operated under a larger system, which can destroy the following system at any time. To get Chongqing out of this danger, only by allowing this larger system to implement the same system as Chongqing.

Zhuang Jihua had a strong feeling in his heart that the giant who changed modern China would definitely meet him. Otherwise, it would be meaningless to invite him to Yan'an.

Gong Xiuhua didn't think so much about it. When Zhuang Jihua decided to go to Yan'an, she expressed her objection.

The convoy rolled up a yellow dragon and drove to Yan'an.
