Chengdu, Southwest Governor's Palace.

"General, I don't agree with you accepting the appointment of the Beijing government!" Tang Jiyao, deputy governor of the Southwest Military Region and governor of Yunnan, said.

Cai Yi smiled and said, "Old Tang, I know what you think. I've thought about it. Compared with the decaying Beiyang, the Northeast government is more vigorous. In addition, the Northeast is now at war with the Japanese, not only for the land of the three eastern provinces, but also for the territorial integrity of China and the interests of the Chinese nation. In this case, we should support the anti-war in the Northeast. There is one more thing we should see. Although our southwest has good ability, is it capable of unifying the whole country and building an ideal revolutionary country? When Cai Ye said this, his eyes were frank, and he didn't lose all the rights and interests in front of him because doing so. It can be said that a soldier like Cai Ye is a true patriot, and he can give up everything for the sake of the country and the nation.

"General, I know that the general is dedicated to the country. But is the Beijing government really as good as you say? You've already read Shandong's intelligence. The Northeast Army is simply a bunch of bandits! Directly usurping the property of a large landlord and causing turmoil in an otherwise stable Shandong, and violently confiscating land in the northeast, isn't this the lifeblood of the landlords? This is against the landlord class! At this stage, the power of the landlords is still very terrifying, and I don't think that the Northeast has the ability to extinguish the resistance forces of all sides, and strong weapons do not mean that they will be able to succeed. "Tang Jiyao has his own opinions. He didn't want the forces he and others had worked so hard to build up to make wedding dresses for others.

"Old Tang, there is some truth in what you said, but don't forget. In the current Republic of China. Is it more common people or more landlords? If the landlord class and the poor people are antagonistic and completely fought, which force do you say will win the final victory? Cai Ye looked at Tang Jiyao with burning eyes. What are the thoughts of the old subordinates, Cai Ye can also understand it in general. He didn't blame Tang Jiyao for being short-sighted. After all, after Yuan Shikai became emperor, the people of the whole country turned away from Germany, and the warlord melee became a reality. People die for money, birds die for food, and all kinds of bulls, ghosts, snakes and gods appear for the power in their hands. Tang Jiyao has been acting in Yunnan for a long time, and he has already developed the character of the emperor of the soil. If Cai Ye is not his old chief, plus he is above board. Tang Jiyao may not be willing to follow Cai Ye to launch a war to protect the country. After the establishment of the Southwest Governor's Palace, Tang Jiyao's status was second only to Cai Yi. As a soldier, Cai Ye is not very fond of handling government affairs, and it can be said that the government affairs of the southwestern provinces are basically sorted out by Deputy Governor Tang Jiyao. Now that Cai is going to accept the appointment of the Beijing government, this will give the Beijing government an excuse to meddle in the southwest government. Moreover, there is also an agent in front of the title of Cai Yi's southwest patrol envoy. When the northeast is freed from the quagmire of the war against Japan, I am afraid that the next step will be to send government personnel to the southwest. At that time, the first to bear the brunt is him Tang Jiyao.

"This ......" Tang Jiyao didn't know how to answer Cai Yi's question. Although the landlords occupied a huge wealth. But the population of the common people is simply too much. If there is a good leader, the possibility of victory for the common people is great. Most of the peasant revolts in history have failed. That's because they lack really capable leaders. Even if the peasant class did not have a good leader, every peasant uprising would always deal a heavy blow to the ruling class.

"The land policy in the Northeast is obviously aimed at gaining the support of the poor people, and among the 450 million compatriots in China, the poor people account for the vast majority, and in this situation, the power of the Northeast will only become stronger and stronger. What's more, now the Northeast already has most of China's territory, with more than 100 million people under its rule, and its war potential is even more terrifying than ours. You have also seen the situation on the battlefield in the northeast. The Northeast Army, whether it is equipped with water or combat effectiveness, is not something that the current New Army can resist. In the past few days, I have analyzed the strength of Tohoku and Japan. It was found that as long as Japan did not continue to deploy troops to launch a national war, the Northeast Army was 70% sure of the victory in the upcoming decisive battle. In addition, I have studied in Japan, so I have a deep understanding of the Japanese nation. After the decisive battle, Japan will have two performances, one is to destroy Tohoku to the death at the cost of its own destruction, and the second is to temporarily stop the war and accumulate strength to wait for the next better opportunity to attack. Don, which do you think the Japanese will choose? Cai Yi asked in a deep voice.

"This ......" Tang Jiyao scratched his head. Although he has been serving as the overseer of Yunnan, from a military point of view, he is far inferior to Cai Yi, which is also what he admires Cai Ye very much, after all, the title of a peerless famous general is not blown out, but is really played.

"Old Don, no matter what I say, it's better for you to see it with your own eyes. You pack your things and set off for the Northeast, and as the head of the delegation to the Southwest Governor's Palace, you can take a good look at the Northeast. Let's take a look at the Northeast government. In terms of military affairs, the Northeast has great potential, but on the government side, you need to look at it. Cai said.

"I'm going?" Tang Jiyao said.

"Yes, you go and see for yourself. But Don, I hope you can put the country and the nation first! Cai Ye said in a deep voice.

"Okay!" Tang Jiyao nodded. If the Northeast really won the war against Japan as analyzed by Cai Yi, then it will inevitably be the Northeast that will unify China in the future. Therefore, it is not necessarily a bad thing to prepare for an extra path for the future.

Headquarters of the Southern Military District.

Zhen Zhen's brow furrowed. The Southeast Military Region has reached the moment of decisive battle, but the first section of the Southern Military Region is still racing against the enemy. The 10th Division of the Japanese Army, that is, the Westward Division, after landing at Yingkou Port, separated from the 1st Division and rapidly advanced westward. This strange action is incomprehensible to everyone.

"Is it possible to determine the enemy's target?" Zhen Zhen asked in a deep voice.

"Commander, it is not clear at the moment, but if they advance westward, one of the places most likely for the Japanese to obtain is Jinzhou, an important place in western Liaoning, and the other is Shanhaiguan, which is heading south. Now the little devil moves very fast, and he doesn't get entangled when he encounters our obstacles, and we can't be sure of the ultimate goal of the little devil. Political Commissar Qian Zhuangfei said in a deep voice.

"Damn little devil, order the troops to keep a close watch, the little devil won't give up." Zhen Zhen said.

"Commander, what should I do all the way north? Isn't it time for us to start a net collection operation? The theater headquarters sent a telegram to ask! Qian Zhuangfei said.

"It's still a little early! Order the troops to continue the blockade! War does not have to be won by destroying the enemy. Zhen Zhen said in a deep voice. Among the commanders of several military regions of the Northeast Army, if it comes to military merits, Zhen Zhen is definitely the least. The wars I have experienced several times have been to play a supporting role and assist other military regions in fighting. But even so, Zhen Zhen did not have the slightest emotion, and the army's development and operations were still meticulous and orderly. This is also the reason why Feng Yong has great trust in him, a soldier, and a weapon of the country! Generals who command the army must not only be enterprising, but also endure loneliness.

"Commander, do we have to wait until we have won victory in the southeast battlefield before we do it? Wouldn't that scare the little devils away? Qian Zhuangfei asked puzzled.

"There's no rush. Now that the little devil has entered our hinterland, he really wants to escape, isn't it time for us to fight back! Now I am more focused on the purpose of the 10th Division! Commissar, I'm ready to launch a surprise attack on the troops advancing westward! I can't let the little devil move forward so comfortably! Zhen Zhen said in a deep voice.

"Surprise attack? Commander, are you going to ambush the 10th Division? Qian Zhuangfei said.

Zhen Zhen shook his head and said: "The ambush is not good, the little devil's marching route is basically within the range of the navy's heavy artillery, our ambush is easily hit by the enemy's heavy artillery fire, and the power of the ship's heavy artillery is much stronger than our heavy artillery." There is no need to suffer such losses. I'm planning for us to concentrate two brigades of troops on a night attack. There is a cover in the night, and the enemy's fleet may not be able to support it! Zhen Zhen said in a deep voice.

"A night attack is good, but the strength of the two brigades is not a little less, the Japanese 10th Division has more than 20,000 people, and it is also a permanent division of Japan, so its combat effectiveness is definitely not weak." Qian Zhuangfei said with some worry.

"Night Raid! It's not a decisive battle. The most important thing about night raids is suddenness and flexibility. If you want to swallow the enemy's 10th Division at once, it is impossible to do it without twice the strength, and now most of our troops are attracted by the 1st Division in the north, and your strength to monitor the 10th Division is only two brigades. This is already the limit of what we can draw. What's more, this night attack operation was more about the movements of the divisional Japanese army. As the defenders, we can't let the little devils march like they are back in their own back gardens, this is our shame. So, we should fight this battle no matter what! Zhen Zhen said firmly.

"Commander! I agree with your proposal, right. Don't you have reinforcements for us? We can let the reinforcements deal with the 10th Division, and we can still be competent to deal with the 1st Division with the strength in our hands now. Qian Zhuangfei suggested.

"If the task of mobilizing reinforcements requires an order from the theater headquarters, we still don't have that right." Zhen Zhen said helplessly.

"Then please give advice, even the combat mission with the night attack, the commander-in-chief must have a better battle plan!" Qian Zhuangfei said.

Zhen Zhen nodded and said, "I'll leave this matter to you." I'm going to assign specific tasks, the first division of the little devils is now approaching the residential areas, and we must intensify the efforts to block them, and strive to prevent the little devils from entering the residential areas before the results appear on the southeast battlefield. Zhen Zhen said.

The 10th Division of the Japanese Army was stationed.

As a permanent division, the construction of barracks in the Japanese army is still very technical. However, the actual situation was not as strict as it seemed, after all, the temporary station of the 10th Division was shrouded in the fire of the navy's heavy artillery, and the safety was greatly guaranteed. This also led to a much worse vigilance of the Japanese army.
