"Good!" Mao ZD slapped the table and stood up, he smiled and said: "It's better to come here, we and them are already incompatible, and a war is probably inevitable." It is better to fight late than early in this battle, and it is better to fight small than to fight big, and it is best to completely eliminate them in one battle! ”

Soviet adviser Borodin hesitated for a moment, raised his eyebrows slightly, looked at Zhou Elai, and asked in a solemn tone: "Comrade Elai, are you sure that the Kuomintang will not be involved in this war?" There may not be any problem in defeating this youth army with the strength of the Red Army, but if the Kuomintang army is involved, the Red Army may not have the strength to defeat them. ”

Borodin's worries were also those of the other comrades attending the meeting, and there was no problem in starting a war with the Al-Shabaab, which had long been an accomplice of the Feng warlords, and the War Department Investigation Bureau, a secret service they controlled in the Yanjing political axe, had caused great losses to the party's underground organization. In fact, the war between the two sides has begun, but the current National Youth League is indeed a trouble.

"The Kuomintang army will not be involved." Zhou Elai shook his hand very confidently and said with a smile: "The Kuomintang made this youth army to stand out for them, in fact, they don't want to turn their faces with us and don't want to fall into the quagmire of the north too early. Otherwise, they could have sent their main forces north, and in that case we would have to weigh it twice. Moreover, there is now a power struggle taking place within the KMT, and after the fall of Wang Ching-wei, the Executive Yuan he left behind has become the focus of contention between the right and centrist factions of the KMT. If the Kuomintang had a war with us at this time, it would only benefit from the rightists headed by Hu Hanmin and Xu Chongzhi. Chiang Kai-shek and Luo Yaoguo would not allow this to happen, as long as we could grasp the balance well, it would not lead to a final break between the two parties. ”

"Comrade Elai, how should we proceed with the Kuomintang this time? Do you want to tell them that our party is going to war with the youth army? Qu Qbai hesitated for a moment, and then said: "It is absolutely impossible to apologize to the Kuomintang, but it is okay to guarantee it, and it is best to blame these incidents on himself, so that both parties can be explained, right?" ”

Zhou Elai smiled slightly and nodded: "Of course you have to tell them, otherwise their first army will be involved." Now that we are going to fight against the Shabaab, we naturally cannot turn against the Kuomintang again, because then we will have too many enemies. And we still have to keep this peacemaker, and if there is a stalemate in the future, let them go out again to make peace. Although the Red Army now has a slight upper hand in strength, it may not be able to easily eat the other side if it really wants to fight, so the channel for peace talks should still be kept.

"Then did the 'deal' with Luo Yaoguo you said succeed?" Qu Qiubai remembered the "deal", frowned slightly, and looked up at Zhou Elai. This "sale" was a very special transaction, for the purpose of raising funds and purchasing weapons and ammunition. Now that the war is about to start, is the Kuomintang still willing to do such a thing?

Zhou Elai laughed heartily: "There is no problem with this, business is business!" Luo Yaoguo is a capitalist, will he do it if there is a deal? ”

Borodin didn't know what kind of deal Zhou Elai and Qu Qbai were talking about? But he doesn't want to care too much, although China G is a branch of GC International, but their reading surname is still quite strong, after all, they also have guns, and those little brothers in Europe are different. After listening to Zhou Elai's analysis, he felt that the battle with the Youth Army was not a big problem, and as Mao ZD said, this battle was inevitable, rather than waiting for them to become strong before fighting, it was better to take advantage of the fact that they had just gained a foothold in the north and attacked head-on!

"Comrade Zhou Elai, if the Red Army wants to fight the Youth Army, it seems that the troops outside the city are a little less, right? And it takes time to concentrate forces. This is the military adviser General Galen stood up and raised his own question, he frowned and pointed to the military map: "Now the Red Army's forces are still scattered in Suiyuan and northern Shaanxi, and it will take at least half a month to concentrate them, and by then the Youth Army may have captured Ningxia, right?" If the Kuomintang First Army is stationed again, it will be difficult for us to do it. ”

General Galen took out a red and blue pencil from his pocket, sketched it on the military map on the table, and in a short time showed all the situations in Gansu on the map from memory. He pointed to the blue line around Lanzhou and sighed: "The Youth Army has been operating extremely smoothly since it entered Gansu. Due to the turbulent political situation in Gansu since the beginning of this year, first Gandu Lu Hongtao suffered a stroke and was paralyzed, and then Li Changqing, commander of the First Brigade, mutiny seized power. Seeing that the situation was not good, Kong Fanjin surrendered without a fight, opening the door from Sichuan to Gansu. Now that the more than 70,000 members of the Youth Army have marched to the city of Lanzhou, I estimate that Li Changqing will surrender in a few days. Moreover, Yanjing Zhengaxe appointed Yang Sen as the overseer of Gansu, Wang Zizhi as the governor of Gansu Province, and awarded the titles of the 30th to 32nd Divisions of the Central Army of the Youth Army. ”

The name of the central government is not good on the territory of the Kuomintang in the south, but the situation is different in the northwest, especially in the eight towns of Longshang in Gansu, where these feudal warlords whose brains are probably still stuck in the late Qing Dynasty still regard the orders issued by Yanjing City as the supreme holy decree, and they are always a little weak in their confrontation.

"The first strike is strong, and the second strike suffers!" Mao zd slammed his fist on the map and said loudly: "We have gathered 30,000 people in Yan'an, and there are 10,000 troops of the Fourth Front Army in the direction of Hetao near Ningxia. In this way, there are 40,000 troops, and the strength of Nyingma is now only more than 10,000 people, and he is not able to fight against us at all. As long as we show enough determination to seize Ningxia with lightning speed, then we can use Ningxia as a battlefield to wait for work and start a war with the youth army! ”

At this time, Zhang Guotao, who had not spoken a word since the beginning of the meeting, suddenly stood up, and he looked at Zhou Elai with complicated eyes: "In this way, half of the main force of the Red Army will be mobilized at once, and the troops will come from the three front armies, who will we appoint to be the secretary of the General Front Committee?" "The Red Army now claims to be 100,000, but that includes the total number of local troops, and the main force of the Red Army, which is really strong in combat, is only more than 80,000, and this time it will take 40,000 to send troops to Ningxia! Moreover, Ningxia is also a treasure land with fertile land and dense population, and whoever controls these 40,000 Red Army and Ningxia will have a decisive position in the central government in the future.

Zhou Elai was stunned when he heard this, and couldn't help but ponder, now that he can be the secretary of the General Front Committee, I am afraid that only Mao Zd and Zhang Guotao are in charge of the 40,000 Red Army, and he will definitely not be able to leave if he wants to lead the **. So who to let go? Zhou Elai looked at the two with flickering eyes. Looking at their eager eyes, Zhou Elai couldn't make a decision for a while.

"Or else." Zhou Elai pondered for a while before he slowly spoke: "How about the comrade who went to Ningxia to serve as secretary of the General Front Committee this time become the chairman of the Northwest Military and Political Committee in the future, and is specifically responsible for the work in the northwest?" "Zhou Elai's meaning is very clear, if you go to Ningxia, then you will have no part in Shanxi next time.

"I'll go." Zhang Guotao saw Mao ZD hesitate, and hurriedly seized the opportunity to recommend himself, he said with a serious expression: "My talent is far inferior to Comrade ZD, so in the future, I will command the Red Army to conquer the Central Plains, and Comrade ZD will still be responsible for the important task of Dingding Yanjing." It's up to me to find a way to maintain the situation in the northwest. This is very pertinent and reasonable. Zhang Guotao's talent is indeed inferior to Mao Zd, and the Eastern Expedition to Dingding Yanjing is indeed more important than the Western Expedition to Ningxia to fight the Youth Army.

Mao ZD hesitated for a while, and when he saw Zhou Elai nodding lightly there, he no longer insisted, smiled and said: "Brother Kaiyin (Zhang Guotao) is too modest, and it is indeed a bit condescending to use Brother Kaiyin's great talent in the northwest. In the future, the Eastern Expedition to the Central Plains will still be indispensable for Brother Kaiyin to give advice. ”
