Chapter 1044: Difficulties in the Northwest Military Region

Division Commander Chen became the commander-in-chief of the Northwest Military Region and became Commander Chen! Although he used to be a protégé of the Son of Heaven, due to the different camps, he suffered more in terms of rank and position! Some people are surprised, but some people are not!

But in terms of the battles experienced and the years of graduation, there is at least one commander of the group army on Chairman Chiang's side!

Although the appointment of Division Commander Chen as the commander-in-chief of a military region this time seems to be the result of Commander-in-Chief Zhu's reluctance to take up his post, it is indeed well deserved!

Although some people are unwilling to obey, but with Liao Fan here, there are really not many people who dare not obey Commander-in-Chief Chen's orders! Of course, since he is in the position, he also has to show his ability, he can't always rely on Liao Fanhu's fake tiger might, and really capable people don't need to rely on the strength of others at all!

Gansu is the center of the Northwest Military Region and the location of Commander Chen's General Headquarters! The situation in the Northwest Military Region is more complicated, there are the original troops of the National Army, the original troops of the Eighth Route Army, and even a group of troops from the Taihang Mountains, including some local armed forces!

Ma Bufang's troops, who are active in the northwest, have always been a thorn in the northwest, although they expressed their willingness to accept the reorganization of the troops, but they have always gone their own way and maintained the style of Ma Jiajun, which is also a problem that Commander Chen has always been difficult to solve!

Everyone knows that Ma Jiajun and the Eighth Route Army had some festivals at the beginning, and asked Ma Bufang to admit that the people of the Eighth Route Army were their top bosses, of course Ma Jiajun was not happy in his heart, especially the people of the Ma family were worried that Commander Chen would settle accounts after the autumn!

And since the period of the Beiyang warlords and the Nationalist Government, the Ma Jiajun has listened to the propaganda and did not listen to the tune, although he recognized everything of the country, but never carried out the order, relying on the soldiers in his own hands in the northwest, he could do whatever he wanted, that is to say, they regarded the northwest as the private property of the Ma family, and no outsiders could insert the needle or splash the water!

More importantly, the combat effectiveness of the Ma Jiajun cannot be compared with ordinary local troops, and their cavalry combat effectiveness is strong! This is also the reason why Commander Chen is reluctant to tear his face with Ma Jiajun, they know that once the two sides fight, they will inevitably suffer heavy casualties!

However, if Ma Jiajun continues like this, the country's control over the northwest is still very weak, for example, Liao Fan can only go through the defense area of the Seventh Army in the desert of the great northwest, and cannot advance westward from Gansu!

The Ma Jiajun is not like He Yingqin, they are clearly opposed to national reunification, they recognize the unification of the country, and they also admit that they belong to the Northwest Military Region, but they are unwilling to obey orders, and the troops also allow people outside the Ma family to interfere, and even they still have their own set of administrative organs in Qinghai, Gansu and parts of Ningxia!

Although there are some festivals, Commander Chen has also been restraining himself, in line with the principle of putting the national interest first, and sacrificing less soldiers if he can, he is still actively negotiating with Ma Jiajun!

Fortunately, Qingma and Ningma are not compatible, otherwise he Commander Chen is really at risk of being eaten by them if he is caught in the middle!

However, the units of the other military regions have completed their reorganization and have already accepted new equipment and soldiers, and the military reform of their Northwest Military Region is still difficult to carry out an inch, and the development of the combat effectiveness of the troops of the Northwest Army has been delayed!

"Commander-in-Chief Chen, why don't you report this matter to Brother Fan?" The Northwest Military Region has concentrated a group of outstanding military commanders of the Eighth Route Army, of course, there are also the original personnel of the national prefix, they really want to fight with Ma Jiajun, as long as Ma Jiajun hurts, are they afraid that they will not listen to the command and not obey the order?

Many people suggested that the matter here should be reported to Liao Fan, and then Liao Fan should give them reinforcements and fight directly with the Ma Jiajun!

But Commander Chen refused to agree, since Liao Fan handed over the Northwest Military Region to him, he had the responsibility and obligation to be responsible for the management and stability of the Northwest Military Region, and as long as he fought with Ma Jiajun, it would inevitably be a matter that would affect the whole body, and many things they were not ready for!

"I think it's still mainly talking, if you can't fight, you won't fight, now the country is moving towards peace, and we will die a lot of excellent soldiers in this battle!"

Of course, there are also people who do not support this battle, they have not estimated the loss of troops and the problem of materials, what if they are defeated? Will Ma Jiajun take the opportunity to drive them out of Gansu? At that time, their Northwest Military Region will become a joke of the whole country, and the general headquarters will be served by others!

If they are not sure of winning this battle, they will never be able to fight!

"Continue to send people to contact them, as long as they obey the adaptation, we are willing to agree to any conditions!"

The command of the troops will always be a big issue, and if the people of the Ma family do not hand over the military power, their Northwest Military Region will never see a day of peace!

"But the condition that the Ma family wants is that they retain the command of the troops, and Brother Fan also invited them to Taiyuan to attend the meeting, but they didn't pay attention to it at all, and now that we have taken over this stall, why do we have to talk to them in a good voice?"

In fact, no one knows whether Liao Fan really invited the people of the Ma family when he held a meeting in Taiyuan, now the Ma family is powerful, only war is the fastest solution, and they know that the people of the Ma family have a great appetite, if they are allowed to put forward conditions, their Northwest Military Region will definitely not be able to satisfy the people of the Ma family!

Obviously, every time such a situation is encountered, there are a group of main station factions and a group of main peace factions, and of course, a group of people who do not make this decision at all!

Some of these people who don't make decisions have already taken the benefits of Ma Jiajun, and some people don't want to offend Ma Jiajun at all! First of all, these people already have a high level of extraterrestrial status in the army, and there must be no problem in being respected and worry-free in this life!

Moreover, since the reorganization of the army, the army is not the private property of individuals now, they are supported by the state, and they can live this life in peace and stability!

Inaction and inaction are the truest thoughts of these people who do not make decisions, the troops belong to the state, who do they work hard to see? Show it to Commander Chen? Although he is their top boss, Commander Chen can't guarantee their glory and wealth to show Liao Fan? Liao Fan definitely can't see it! It is even more impossible for them to show the people who are nothing!

As the contradictions with Ma Jiajun became more and more prominent, not only the situation on the periphery became more and more complicated, but even the situation within Commander Chen's command began to become complicated.

As the saying goes, when a big disaster comes, they fly separately, and now they encounter a little difficulty, and these people are ready to split up!

And the people who can be trusted under Commander Chen are all those old people in the Eighth Route Army, and only they are willing to work for Commander Chen, after all, they used to come out of a faction, of course, there are some people who are from the country and are working hard to serve the country, but there are still some people who are hard to change!

"It hasn't developed to the point of using soldiers, and we haven't talked to Ma Bufang once, how do we know that they won't accept formal adaptation?"

Commander-in-Chief Chen still has a glimmer of hope for Ma Bufang, Ma Bufang's troops are China's troops after all, although the Ma family belongs to the Hui people, but most of the Ma family's troops are Han people, you must know that it is impossible to rely on one nation alone to strengthen the Ma family's army!

Since everyone has something in common, there is an affirmation of moving towards peace, which is also the goal of Commander Chen's efforts!

Commander Chen gave his secretary and staff officers a purpose to the secretary and staff of his headquarters, that is, to negotiate peacefully before the relationship between the two sides broke down completely!

Of course, this is only what Commander Chen wants to win on the surface, but secretly he still convened an emergency meeting for the military commanders, that is, to prepare for war, if the negotiation fails, then there will be no mercy!

Ming Xiu plank road dark Chen Cang, for Commander Chen, what he wants is the peace of the whole country, if the people of the Ma family continue to be stubborn, or even the lion opens his mouth, in the end, he can only meet each other!

Of course, there is a contradiction between Ning Ma and Qing Ma, which is also a point that he Commander Chen can take advantage of! Moreover, they are caught between the two horses, and if they want to start a war with the green horses, they must first settle the relationship with the Ningma!

After all, if their supplies want to be transported to the front line, in addition to the defense area of the Seventh Army, they are also stuck in the route by Ningma, if Ningma takes the initiative to attack, it will cause great trouble to their logistics, although it will not be stuck out of all their transportation lines, but there is a big problem in efficiency!

Just when Commander Chen began to persuade and negotiate with Ma Hongkui's troops in Ningxia, Liao Fan's convoy entered Jinchang, Gansu, and since the southern part of Gansu was controlled by the Ma Jiajun, Commander Chen could only choose the headquarters in the northern part of Gansu!

Moreover, the northern part of Gansu is closer to the defense area of Fu Yisheng of the Seventh Group Army, and in case of special circumstances, it can be supported by the Seventh Group Army!

When Commander Chen learned that Liao Fan had come to Jinchang, he was immediately anxious and all the people in the headquarters with stars on their shoulders came out to greet Liao Fan!

"Brother Fan, why didn't you say hello in advance before you came?"

"Let me ask you, didn't the logistics department approve new military uniforms for you? Why do I still see that most of the soldiers are still wearing the old military uniforms of the Eighth Route Army on the road? ”

The unification of military uniforms is not only for neatness and good looks, but also a symbol of national unity, if there are various military uniforms in a country, it is obviously to tell outsiders that this is not a unified country, and it is still in the period of warlord melee!

Commander Chen didn't expect that the first thing Liao Fan did after he came was not to greet him, but to directly reprimand him for the problems in his troops!

"It's the soldiers who are used to hard days, who are used to simple days!" Commander Chen didn't dare to look at Liao Fan's eyes.

He and Liao Fan are good friends, but now Liao Fan is his superior, and there is a friend relationship in the army, but there must be a concept of superiors and subordinates!

"Why don't you let the troops live before the Qing Dynasty? It's good to be hard and simple, but the troops must give me a uniform uniform! Liao Fan criticized people without showing any mercy.
