The Eighth Route Army had been silent in the northwest for a long time, and only the guerrillas behind enemy lines were still active frequently. The main force of the Eighth Route Army was also separated by hundreds of miles from the enemy-occupied areas of the Japanese army, and of course they could not pass through other people's defense areas without their permission.

The headquarters of the Eighth Route Army was worried that if they remained silent for longer and longer, it would inevitably lead to a decline in their status in the hearts of the common people, and as the prestige of the New 33rd Army in the hearts of the common people rose, it meant that the Eighth Route Army's competitiveness became smaller and smaller.

In order to prevent the Eighth Route Army's status in the hearts of the common people from declining, the headquarters of the Eighth Route Army decided to engage in a joint operation with the new 33rd Army, the purpose of which was to let the Eighth Route Army return to the people's field of vision.

However, what I didn't expect was that Liao Fan directly refused, of course, Liao Fan was also thinking about the new 33rd Army, after all, the New 33rd Army is now in an era of weapon change, and they must lay a good foundation and train the troops well in order to be able to adapt to the new weapons.

"Vice Chairman Zhou, I won't tell you, I also know the thoughts of your Eighth Route Army Headquarters," after all, each force has its own interests, and the Eighth Route Army also has its own interests, and they need to safeguard their own interests," I have a good suggestion, I don't know if the Eighth Route Army Headquarters will consider it! ”

Although Liao Fan couldn't help much in this joint operation, it did not prevent Liao Fan from giving advice to the Eighth Route Army.

"I want to hear about it!"

The Eighth Route Army also needs a way out at present, and as long as there is a way to solve the current predicament of the Eighth Route Army, they are of course willing to listen to it.

"The Japanese army will have a * trouble in the second half of this year, of course, this trouble is not caused by our new 33rd Army, but an international problem, this is a very important opportunity!"

"*Annoying?" Vice Chairman Zhou looked at Liao Fan, and he wanted to know what this annoyance of the Japanese army was.

"This ...... The secret of heaven cannot be revealed, and Vice Chairman Zhou will naturally know when the time comes! Of course, Liao Fan can't say that Japan and the magnesium country are at war, this ability to predict the unknown makes people feel a little incredible, "Shandong has been a good place since ancient times, although there are not many lofty mountains, but there are also mountains and hills, and some places are still more suitable for the tactical tactics of your army!" ”

"First of all, this is the advantage of the terrain, secondly, the people of Shandong are simple, the local people have also fallen into the enemy-occupied areas in recent years, looking for hope, they need a real force to take them out of the ravages of the Japanese army, if your army arranges a capable force, I believe that in Shandong can also lay a good mass foundation! Moreover, Shandong's population base is good. ”

Everyone understands that an army cannot do without the support of the people, and only with the support of the people can this army go a long way.

Moreover, Shandong's popular foundation is good, and it is also conducive to development, if it were not for Vice Chairman Zhou's arrival in Taihang Mountain today, I am afraid that Liao Fan would not have given such a suggestion, and after the training of the new 33rd Army is completed, Liao Fan will arrange for troops to enter Shandong.

However, China needs the Eighth Route Army, and Liao Fan can't watch the Eighth Route Army go downhill like this, and he must give the Eighth Route Army a way to develop.

As for how the Eighth Route Army will develop after going to Shandong, Liao Fan can't go into details, he also believes that the Eighth Route Army has the ability, and if it doesn't have the ability, it can only be eliminated in the torrent of history.

"Thank you Commander Liao for your good advice, but ......"

"Hey~ I have already told you, everything is difficult at the beginning, once the situation is opened, the next thing will fall into place, if the Eighth Route Army is not willing to go to Shandong, I will not force it, the next step of our new 33rd Army plan must be to go to the whole country, not limited to Shanxi, Shandong will of course become part of our development!"

Liao Fan actually aimed at the four eastern provinces, but Shandong is also a good place, in the north belongs to the coastal provinces, there are many natural ports, which can be of great help to the development of the economy and military.

It is very easy for his troops to enter Shandong for development, but for the Eighth Route Army, I am afraid that it is not so simple at the beginning, first of all, the individual quality and equipment of the troops limit them, and the Eighth Route Army must pay a higher price to open up the situation. Of course, these are not under Liao Fan's care, if you want to get it, you have to pay the price, where are there so many good things about empty gloves white wolf.

Vice Chairman Zhou was a little disappointed, but Taihang Mountain did not come in vain, things finally had a way, although the next road is still very difficult, but which one of them is not risking their lives to move forward.

"Vice Chairman Zhou is not in a hurry to go back, is he? I Liao Fan still have a lot of things to ask! ”

There is a solution to the affairs of the Eighth Route Army, but Liao Fan still has a lot of confusion in his heart, in life and on this way forward, not everyone has always had a clear goal, there is always a lot of confusion at a certain stage of life, and Liao Fan is such a person, although he is moving forward step by step, but he will always encounter confused things, if he can meet someone to dial, at least he can take some detours.

This time, Liao Fan asked about something related to the north, shooting the Soviet Union. Liao Fan didn't make a decision about this matter for a long time, after all, this kind of thing is really a matter that harms others and benefits himself.

Of course, Liao Fan is also determined, for the sake of his country's interests, he can do whatever it takes, but what about after becoming famous? There will always be a day of peace for the country and the world, they are neighbors with the guy in the north, they don't look up and don't see each other, although there are conflicts of interest, but after all, many things need to be resolved peacefully, once this matter is exposed, there will inevitably be a war.

When the war broke out, Liao Fan would already be a hundred years old, and he could ignore anything, but it would be China's descendants who would suffer the disaster of the war. The most important thing is that with the development of weapons, there may be some weapons that will be used on the battlefield in the future, in case of a big Ivan against China in spite of everything, it is the Chinese people who will suffer in the end.

Liao Fan must think long-term, what he is planning is China's eternal peace, not the interests of a mouse's eyes.

When Vice Chairman Zhou heard Liao Fan's thoughts, he immediately thought that Liao Fan must be crazy, first put aside the relationship between political parties, they have an inseparable relationship with the Soviet Union, and the Soviet Union also supported China a while ago, the Wuhan air battle, the Soviet pilots died more than 100 people, and there are still Soviet divisions in the Central Army. This is completely an act of crossing the sea and tearing down bridges, ungrateful.

However, Liao Fan's idea is different, although the Soviet Union has supported China's war of resistance, but forced Outer Mongolia and Outer Northeast to separate, if there are no these interests, how can the Soviet Union come up with so many things to support us, they only lost a hundred pilots, and China has indeed lost a vast land.

The most important thing is that once a son of heaven and a courtier, through Liao Fan, he now has the ability to interfere in the affairs of the state, which means that the affairs of this dynasty will be changed, there is no permanent relationship, only permanent interests.

However, I don't know if Liao Fan's idea is too advanced or really crazy, in today's China, I am afraid that few people can accept Liao Fan's current idea.

At the beginning, Political Commissar Liu still had reservations about Liao Fan's idea, but Vice Chairman Zhou resolutely opposed Liao Fan's approach, and once the matter was revealed, he would fall into a situation from which he could never recover.

"The truth is always within the range of artillery, and if one day China is so strong that no one dares to provoke it, this matter can be just a small thing!" Liao Fan still wants to try his own way, and no one knows what the result will be if he doesn't do it, "Please also ask Vice Chairman Zhou to help me keep it secret!" ”

Vice Chairman Zhou shook his head gently, who in China today can restrict Liao Fan's actions? Liao Fan has 200,000 troops in his hands, all of them are elite troops, Yanran is the third largest force in China, and Chairman Jiang doesn't pay attention to him, not to mention their Eighth Route Army.

"Commander Liao, you still have to do it yourself, after all, you are no longer alone, your every move is related to the fate of the country and the nation, the lives of millions or even tens of millions of people are in your hands, we have to be responsible for them!" Vice Chairman Zhou is still trying his best to persuade Liao Fan to dispel this era.

Liao Fan didn't know the heavy responsibility on his body, but if China still moved forward step by step like this, it would be too slow, and when the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression ended, China still had a bunch of messes to clean up, how many more years can the world give China the opportunity to develop, half a century or a century?

The reason why Liao Fan took the risk was that he wanted to fight for a better path for China as soon as possible, and to seize the opportunity of World War II.

"We don't have much time to do anything for this country, and they won't give China too many chances, just us to fight ourselves! Even if it is to suppress the fate of millions or even tens of millions of Chinese! ”

Although Liao Fan's attitude from Vice Chairman Zhou is still opposed, it strengthens his confidence that this path is his choice and that he can be responsible for the future country.

Vice Chairman Zhou did not expect that Liao Fan would become more resolute through him, maybe in the next few years there will really be earth-shaking changes in China, but this road is still a difficult road to take, only everyone works together to create a strong country.

In the past few days in Taihang Mountain, Liao Fan discussed the international situation, the development of the country, and the methods of governing the country with Vice Chairman Zhou, which benefited Liao Fan a lot, after all, there is a person who can give him some advice on this road, which will make him a lot easier.

Also militarily, Liao Fan also gave some assistance to the Eighth Route Army, and handed over the eliminated guns and more than 2,000 rocket launchers made by the arsenal to Vice Chairman Zhou, so that he could take them back to equip the Eighth Route Army.
