Guo Zhuocheng, Zhou Luolai, and Mr. Zhu all preferred to adopt the first plan, because they still hoped that the training of the three main forces would not be interrupted, and it would be best for them to form an army and combat effectiveness as soon as possible. In this way, the Red Army will always be invincible, and even if the Devils suddenly attack China and invade China, the Red Army can immediately put the three main forces into battle and deal a head-on blow to the Devils.

Mao Rundong thinks that it is better to adopt the second plan. In his view, there were at least three benefits to the second option.

The first advantage is that the time for unifying the whole country is shortened, and as long as the Devils do not invade in an all-out way, the Red Army, which has unified the whole country, can concentrate the forces of the whole country to prepare for war, and it will be easier to defeat the Devils. Even if the devils start in advance, the Red Army can resist and prepare for war, and the devils are not omnipotent, they have to prepare for war and conscript, which gives us time, and if necessary, we can also temporarily give up some places to let our three main forces buy time for training. Besides, when our armored forces and air force annihilate the warlord clique headed by Zhang Xueliang and Yan Xishan, they can completely ignore the attack, they can continue to train at home, they can continue to keep secrets, and they can only wait until they have a hand with the devils.

The second advantage is that it can be avoided as much as possible that the local warlords may defect to the enemy. According to what happened in history, during the Chinese War of Resistance against Yue, many local troops and miscellaneous troops surrendered to the Yuekou and helped the Yuekou attack China and bully the Chinese. If our Red Army first attacks the surrounding areas, such as the Northwest, Inner Mongolia, Outer Mongolia and other places, and then sweeps North China and other places, those warlords will not be fools, of course they know that we will clean them up next, knowing that they will not be able to resist us, as long as the devils take the opportunity to send troops, these scum are likely to start to defect to the Kou in large numbers as in history, and there may even be a situation where the warlords invite the devils to station.

If we quickly wipe out China's most powerful warlord forces, so that they don't have time to surrender, other small warlords will have no chance to surrender even if they want to. Because they are cut off from the space of contact with the Yue Kou by us, even if there are still warlords who surrender to the Yue Kou, it will be negligible and will not become a climate.

The third advantage is that as long as we win, we can capture tens of thousands or even hundreds of thousands of captives, and these captives are strong laborers, and even if we lock them up, we can at least reduce them from throwing themselves into the devils and prevent them from bullying our people. Not to mention the fact that we can convert part of them into our warriors and go to war without too much training. Part of it can be converted into a construction army. We build roads, we build railways, we build airports, these are all good labor.

We can also force them to learn technology and force them to read. After the exorcism of the devils and the unification of the whole country are realized, these captives can become very good workers after they are released.

Mao Rundong finally said a reason that made Guo Zhuocheng very moved: "If we occupy the coastal areas, we can immediately use the captured Central Army Navy to form our own navy, and we can immediately transport warships from time and space in 1993 for training." A large part of the future wars will be naval battles, and whoever is the hegemon of the seas will be the power of the world! ”

After reading the film materials brought by Guo Shucheng, Mao Rundong and others quickly attached importance to the important surname of the sea, and their vision was no longer limited to the land.

In the end, the four people unanimously agreed on the second plan, which is to fight the snake and hit the seven inches! War is not 100 percent safe, and there are some adventures in it, and even if the first option is adopted, it is difficult to ensure that there will be no problems.

……

While the Red Army was mobilizing its troops, raising grain and grass, and preparing ammunition, the various warlords in Nanjing were sitting on the ground and dividing the spoils, happily and fiercely dividing up the land and assets left behind after the expulsion of Jiang Jieshi, and thinking carefully about how they could obtain greater benefits and how to sit in a higher position in the political axe of Yan Xishan and Zhang Xueliang.

After some bargaining, countless negotiations and secret deals, the list of political axe agencies was finally announced seven days after the capture of Nanjing:

Yan Xishan ascended to the presidential throne, but he still had a hint of sobriety and proclaimed himself acting president as a temporary gesture; Zhang Xueliang is the commander-in-chief of the national navy, army and air force; Von Yuxiang as Minister of National Defense; Li Zongren as vice president; Bai Chongxi is the chief of staff of the National Armed Forces; He Jian is the commander-in-chief of the army; Chen Cheng is the commander of the Navy; Gu Zhu is also the commander of the Air Force......

At the same time, the New Deal Axe openly wanted Jiang Jiaoshi throughout the country, and demanded that all armed forces in the country pledge allegiance to the New Deal Axe.

As for the Red Army, this pseudo-political axe is still a bit rational, and a special preferential policy is given to the Red Army, that is, the New Deal Axe is willing to negotiate with the leaders of the Red Army, and is willing to give the Red Army a certain status on the premise that the Red Army recognizes the legal surname of the New Political Axe, and the Red Army can be transformed into the National Defense Force, and the top leaders of the Red Army can hold certain positions in the army and local political axes. However, they must come up with a plan to accept the reorganization of the political axe army within three months, otherwise the new political axe will concentrate the efforts of the whole country to wipe out Jiangxi, Guizhou, and Sichuan.

On the very day of their announcement, Jiang Jieshi issued a public statement to reporters in Hong Kong, denouncing the seizure of power by Yan Xishan and others as an illegal coup, and that he and his Central Army would never recognize this illegal political axe. Jiang Yaoshi also advised these people to immediately rein in the precipice, not to be consumed by greed and walk into a dead end, and that the only way out for them was to surrender immediately and hand over power immediately.

Jiang Yaoshi also vowed to lead the Central Army to carry out another Northern Expedition, capture these wall-jumping clowns, and hold a public trial.

Chen Cheng also publicly announced in Hong Kong that he would not serve as the commander of the navy of the puppet political axe, and he vowed to continue to follow President Chiang in his crusade against rebellion, and he would definitely bury those careerists.

Gu Zhutong, another of Jiang Jieshi's senior generals, did not appear in public, but only gave a private interview to reporters, saying that at present, China's air force is weak and weak, and funds for the purchase of fighter planes have been delayed for a long time. In the face of the Red Army's God-aided weapon upgrading, the Political Axe Army should concentrate its limited funds and use them to the best of its ability. Now the armament of the Red Army has reached or even surpassed that of the Political Axe Army, and the only way for the Political Axe Army to surpass the Red Army is to equip more fighters, and as long as there is a strong air force, the Red Army will not be terrible, and it will be able to be wiped out smoothly, and it will be impossible for their artillery to reach the sky.

Although Gu Zhutong's words did not say whether he supported Yan Xishan's new policy axe, the meaning of his words obviously meant that he parted ways with Jiang Yaoshi, and he began to accept the new political axe given to him as the commander of the air force, and began to seriously plan for the future of the air force.

This made Jiang Jiaoshi so angry that he scolded Gu Zhutong in the room for several hours, and also broke two high-end glasses, if it weren't for the financial difficulties now that he was doing the apartment, he would have to break a few.

Another discordant voice was the head of the Hunan army, He Jian, the army commander who had been canonized by Yan-Xishan Zhengaxe, who refused to take up his post. He is neither as clear as Chen Cheng, nor as secretive as Gu Zhutong, but said that the current state affairs are difficult, and I He Mou can't see the shape clearly, so I can only watch for a while, and then consider working hard for the country or retreating to the fields after the political situation is stable. The essence of it is to ride a donkey and read a record book - we'll see.

The United States and Britain claimed that Yan Xishan and others were an illegal coup, and they claimed that they would never recognize the New Deal Axe, and imposed economic sanctions on the New Deal Axe, prohibiting the delivery of domestic weapons to Yan Xishan's army. They will unite with Western countries to fight against this illegal coming to power, and as always, they will recognize Chiang's political axe and support Chiang's army to regain power.

On the other hand, Ben and France openly recognized and supported Yan Xishan's political axe, and were willing to establish a deeper relationship with the new political axe, and were willing to provide help to the new political axe to the best of their ability, but at the same time, they also demanded that the new political axe protect their respective interests in China.

In the south-to-capital city, there was a miasma of smoke, and all kinds of politicians and warlords appeared on the scene, fighting against each other in the political arena, or waving their flags and shouting everywhere, and some especially ambitious people began to join forces everywhere and incite everywhere to show their magic for their own interests. Some warlords shouted in support of Mr. Jiang Jieshi and shouted that they would send troops to fight against Yan Xishan, while others shouted to obey Yan Xishan's leadership and asked for economic and arms assistance from the new political axe immediately......

Among these noisy warlords, the most prominent was Ma Bufang, the head of the Ma family army in Qinghai, who actually sent troops for Jiang Jiaoshi to attack Suiyuan, the old nest of the Northwest Army, causing a scuffle between the two armies......

On September 12, 1936, the First Army of the Chinese Workers' and Peasants' Red Army led by General Lin suddenly appeared in Hu-Beiyi-Chang!

Yi-Chang "controls Bashu from the top and Jingxiang from the bottom", and is known as "the gateway of the Three Gorges and the throat of Sichuan and Hubei". In ancient times, it was called Yiling, and it has always been an important material distribution center and transportation hub in western Hubei, northwest Hunan and eastern Sichuan (Chongqing). It can be said that whoever controls Yi-Chang will control the Three Gorges and will control the initiative.

If the Red Army controls Yichang, then the Red Army's forces will be able to attack the Central Plains from here at any time, and the Central Plains will be open to the Red Army.

If the Kuomintang forces take control of Yi-Chang, they can at any time go up the Yangtze River to attack Chongqing, attack and harass the hinterland of the Red Army, and cause great trouble to the Red Army.

It can be said that Yichang is a battleground for soldiers.
