Rebirth of the National Marshal

At present, the situation in North China is like this. The central army and local forces have about 50 troops across the board. Together with some militias and various anti-Japanese organizations, the number can reach . They are engaged in a seesaw battle against more than Japanese on a front line stretching for four to five hundred kilometers. Although the Japanese can still launch large-scale attacks, due to their unfamiliarity with the terrain and frequent resistance in the occupied areas, Japan can only maintain a small-scale offensive mode.

The current situation is unacceptable to both sides. For the Chinese, the daily casualties and expenses are huge numbers. For the Japanese, they must end the fighting quickly, and the country cannot support such a war of attrition. Although they have started a strategy of fighting to support the war locally, their expenses are also huge. Both sides want to quickly end this situation in North China, but the Chinese are relatively clear that as long as the war can be controlled in North China and not come to the Jiangnan region, this is the best result.

The people's mood was unprecedentedly high some time ago because Mao Yuanshan annexed Mongolia. Now the anti-Japanese sentiment is also unprecedentedly high. But things cannot be decided by emotions. No matter how high your emotions are, the final outcome of the war still depends on the guns and bullets in the hands of the soldiers. It doesn't mean that something will happen just like you think it will. If this were possible, everyone would not have to go to the battlefield and could just pray at home.

That evening, Mao Yuanshan was still accompanied by Hu Lian at the reception banquet held at the Ministry of National Defense. The main reason was that he was not familiar with the bigwigs from all walks of life in the country, and with Hu Lian's introduction he could get to know these people. Although they had been in contact when selling equipment before, it was all controlled by the people below. Miss Zhao seemed a little out of place at this banquet, and Hu Lian, the director of the attendant room, had to come out to deal with it.

"Let me introduce you. This is General Liu Xiang of Bashu. Last time, when you, Chahar, needed support from all over the country, General Liu sent you 3 Sichuan Army brothers without hesitation." As soon as I entered the room, I saw the boss of Bashu, General Liu Xiang. He is the local tyrant of Bashu and has ruled the Bashu region for ten years. In the past, various warlords wanted to own the land of abundance, but in the end, they were all defeated by the man in front of him.

This person has a very good reputation in history, so Mao Yuanshan respects such a person very much, not to mention that he really supported him last time.

The soldiers who supported them were all trained. Except for their poorly equipped weapons, the Sichuan Army's fearlessness of death was very good. During the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression, millions of Sichuan Army soldiers sacrificed their lives.

Liu Xiang, also known as Yuanxun, with the courtesy name Fucheng and the Buddhist name Yuxian, was born on July 1888, 7 in Dayi, Bashu. He was a Bashu warlord during the Republic of China period, a general of the National Revolutionary Army, and the chairman of Bashu Province. In 1, Chongqing University was established, and he was the first president, and made great contributions to the development of Chongqing University.

After the Shiziqiao Incident, Liu Xiang left Sichuan to fight against the Japanese. He died of illness on the front line in 1938. Before his death, he left a will: "Fight to the end, never change. As long as the enemy does not withdraw from the country, the Sichuan Army will not return home!

It is obvious that this era is different from the previous era. If it were the previous era, the general would have contracted stomach problems by now, but now he looks very good. Looking at him drinking and eating meat in big gulps, he doesn't look like a sick person at all. Because of my arrival, this era has many differences.

This is good. If such an anti-Japanese general died so early, it would be a great loss for the country and the people. Why not let him lead his Sichuan Army men to the battlefield and fight back against the Japanese on the battlefield to avenge China's humiliation.

When Mao Yuanshan saw this person walking towards him, he quickly stretched out his hands. He was a famous person, while he was just a small person, and he was someone he respected. Although the two people's official positions were the same, Liu Xiang was the governor of Bashu Province, and Mao Yuanshan was the chairman of Chahar Province, there was still a certain gap between him and him.

"I will never forget your kindness last time. Chairman Liu, if you need me in any way in the future, just let me know. If I frown, I will look like a weak man. Now that the war of resistance is imminent, both sides should work together to defend the motherland." In the eyes of others, these were just some polite words said by Mao Yuanshan. The people here were all old foxes, and when it came to the art of speaking, Mao Yuanshan was no match for them. However, Mao Yuanshan himself knew that he was sincere in saying these words.

"You are right about this matter. When faced with the invasion of the Japanese devils, we should join hands and fight against the devils. This is what we men should do. Since you said so, I really have a request. Our Sichuan Army has recently formed an army of 20 divisions and is ready to send them to Jiangnan. Unfortunately, we are too poor there. We don't have weapons and equipment, and we don't even have a channel to buy them. I heard that your relationship with the Germans is pretty good. I wonder if you can help us buy a batch of Mauser rifles?" What Mao Yuanshan didn't expect was that this general was really an honest man. Historically, the equipment of the Sichuan Army could be said to be the worst in the entire military, but they paid the highest price.

"Chairman Liu said this because he thinks highly of me. However, the Japanese blockade is very severe now. Although I have a good relationship with the Germans, the Germans also have a good relationship with the Japanese. They really don't need to offend the Japanese for me. Therefore, purchasing Mauser rifles is really difficult." Mao Yuanshan said after thinking for a while.

Originally, Chairman Liu thought that Mao Yuanshan would definitely agree to such a thing. After all, he had purchased a lot of weapons and ammunition from Mao Yuanshan before. The quantity purchased this time was just a little more. The most important thing was that there was not enough money and food now.

Chairman Liu originally thought that if Mao Yuanshan agreed, he could talk to him about the debt or not have to pay it and use grain to pay it off. After all, Commander Yan had used this trick in the past, and now everyone has learned it.

Although Chahar is very strong and a lot of people have poured in, there is still a shortage of food. We can't let people eat canned beef every day. There are more than 1000 million people a day. Even if the exchange price is cheaper, it won't work.
