After Ji Xingwen in Guangzhou received the secret message from Ansheng, his first reaction was to suspect that it was a conspiracy.
Since Ouyang Yun's expedition to Southeast Asia and harvesting the "friendship" between the French and Thais, the Xuebing Army's food and industrial product saturation crisis has been greatly alleviated. Southeast Asian countries such as Thailand and Vietnam can grow rice every year. Three crops, Thailand was the world's number one rice exporter in the era before Ouyang Yun traveled through time. At that time, Xuebingjun's electronic products were definitely high-tech. The best-selling ones were electronic watches, followed by radios. Televisions and complete sets of television recording and broadcasting equipment have also been sought after by all walks of life in Southeast Asian countries. Electronic products started, followed by automobiles and military products. The once-excessive productivity of Xuebing Military Factory began to turn into wealth. After a sufficient amount of food was exchanged, , industrial tax revenue has also increased greatly, which made Jiang Shuren and the financial officials of the Xuebing Army headed by John Niu finally raise their heads for the first time after entering Guangzhou. Even at a financial meeting not long ago, Jiang Shuren made an unprecedented announcement to expand the army and regain the country. China’s appeal,
Also making the same call were Li Hanhun and other old Cantonese generals who transitioned from the army to politics after the Guangzhou Incident. The Guangzhou Incident was a watershed for the Xuebing Army. Before that, Ouyang Yun tried his best to eliminate the future of the Xuebing Army. However, after the incident, the Xuebing Army went to an extreme. All forces other than the Yun Party were almost eliminated. The Xuebing Army became unprecedentedly pure. His prestige did not decrease but increased, and he truly possessed the status of a leader. Under this situation, the overseas political figures headed by Jiang Shuren and the old Cantonese military generals headed by Li Hanhun had to admit that if they wanted to develop in their respective fields, they could not leave Ouyang Yun's inner circle. Jiang Shuren The starting point for proposing the expansion of the army is public rather than private, and it is more for the future of the student army. Li Hanhun is thinking for the Cantonese clique, and does not want those old Cantonese clique officers with great prospects to lose the opportunity to fight on the battlefield.
The development model of Xuebingjun is a weird one. In order to get rid of the financial crisis, the Chongqing government raised military funds by soliciting donations from the public and issuing national debt indiscriminately, and even went so far as to print money. However, Xuebingjun has always been careful not to put government pressure on it. The results of what ordinary people did was different. The legal currency devalued, and the Chongqing government continued to be mired in the quagmire of the financial crisis and was struggling. The Xuebing Army slowly got out of the predicament after borrowing money from large households, and gradually began to have financial surpluses. Then even the Ocean-going Navy All are built,
The historical process has seriously deviated from the established track. The Chongqing government failed to raise the banner of the War of Resistance. However, the warlord government of the Xuebing Army suddenly emerged and began to assume more tasks of the War of Resistance. Both public and private, military expansion was necessary. To expand the army, soldiers Armament is the key. There is no pressure on armaments. The arsenal of the Xubing Army can now meet the combat needs of 1.5 million troops at the same time when running at full capacity. In terms of personnel, soldiers are not a problem. The original Self-Defense Force was built as a military force. The army has prepared a large number of qualified soldiers, but the problem of officers has emerged.
Ouyang Yunyuan was in Karachi, and the military expansion could only be presided over by Ji Xingwen, Li Tieshu and Jiang Guangnai. Because of the "Ouyang Yun went to the wild" incident, they were very dissatisfied and even a little afraid of the Cantonese clique. As a result, it was impossible to do this. Li Hanhun wanted to let the old Cantonese officers return to the cadet army. In order to solve the Guangzhou Incident, the reserve officers had been exhausted. Fortunately, Ouyang Yun sent back a list in time, and there were also members of the Central Army on this list. Officers, but those were all ignored or even suppressed by Chiang Kai-shek due to various reasons. For people like Zhang Lingfu who were popular in front of Chiang Kai-shek, he did not even think about or dare to think about them.
"Let's ask the commander-in-chief to make a decision." After Ji Xingwen and Li Tieshu discussed it, they finally decided to hand over the problem to Ouyang Yun.
Ouyang Yun of Karachi was preparing for his trip to Cairo while waiting to meet with Nehru, Chairman of the Indian National Congress Party. As soon as Koga Mine arrived in New Delhi and took office as the head of the New Delhi Agency of the Japanese Navy, he actively organized intelligence personnel. Infiltrating into Karachi, she contacted the Indian National Congress Party and promised to help India seek independence in exchange for the Congress Party's help in its intelligence work. After the intelligence team in charge of Gu Lianyun obtained this information, she made suggestions to Ouyang Yun, believing that After the war, the independence of colonial countries around the world will be difficult to stop. For the future, the Xuebingjun should make early plans in order to benefit from China. The tempering of the United States not only cultivated Gu Lianyun into an outstanding diplomat, but also gave her an understanding of politics. She became sensitive just as the Indian National Congress Party was seeking help around the world. She thought this was a good opportunity for speculation and suggested that Ouyang Yun win over the Indians. Ouyang Yun had already made arrangements in this regard before, but it was influenced by his own Due to capacity limitations, and in order to avoid over-stimulating the British, he carried out the process more covertly and did not take it too seriously. Gu Lianyun's suggestion was timely and made him start to pay attention to this matter.
Affected by his position in that time and space, he had no good impression of Nehru. The reason why the issue of southern Tibet remained unresolved for so long in that time and space was ultimately the root cause of the problem planted by Nehru. This speculation between the United States and the Soviet Union was actually serious. The national hero in the eyes of pro-Soviet Indians wanted to push India to the status of a superpower, took over the British colonial power in Tibet, and single-handedly contributed to the fact that southern Tibet was separated from the control of the Chinese government. Tibet was too far from Guangzhou , the Northwest Army is mainly guerrilla, and currently can only be active in Outer Mongolia and Inner Mongolia, and cannot form de facto military penetration, so it seems that it is a good way to solve it through diplomatic channels. You must know that in Ouyang Yun's "long-range plan", They wanted to take back all the territories occupied by other countries during the former Qing Dynasty. This was also the fundamental reason for the back and forth between the Xuebing Army and Germany.
The "V2 rocket" appeared in advance, the British army's local strength was severely damaged, and the counterattack was far away; the Soviet army's defeat in Moscow was a foregone conclusion; the entire U.S. Pacific Fleet was destroyed, the U.S. Navy suffered a complete defeat in the Battle of Midway, and New Guinea fell; The Japanese army successfully landed in Australia... These seem to be thousands of miles away from Ouyang Yun and the Xuebing Army, but in fact they all have his shadow. The power of butterflies is a double-edged sword. If one thing goes wrong, it will affect itself. , Ouyang Yun was once frightened, but now he has no other choice but to walk along this road paved inadvertently.
It was such a coincidence that when Ji Xingwen's telegram arrived in Karachi, Nehru also arrived,
The official receptionist designated by Ouyang Yun was the base security commander Liu Dakai. Liu Dakai received Nehru and others at the gate of the base. He and Nehru walked at the front of the convoy in an open-top off-road vehicle, along the direct route. The asphalt road from the 7th Expeditionary Corps headquarters goes all the way to the depths of the base.
At this time, the Karachi military base has formed a large scale, with several factories on the outside, then a power plant, and then military camps and airports.
There are many factories, neat barracks, high-spirited soldiers, a series of tanks and fighter planes... Although Nehru and others had heard a lot about the changes in Karachi before, they were still shocked when they saw it with their own eyes. ,
"This is really just an armed warlord force in China." Someone among Nehru's entourage raised such doubts. India does not know enough about China's national conditions. In their opinion, if a warlord armed force has such power, then China What kind of existence should the government be?
