"Commander Jiang, congratulations, congratulations!
Commander Jiang is really dedicated to the public good.
He started handling military and political affairs only three days after his wedding.
His diligence is admirable."
Deng Xihou congratulated Jiang Li with a joyful face, although he had a purpose.
Come, but she is also speaking from her heart.
Like the powerful people in Sichuan, let alone their wives, even if they take a concubine, they will basically ignore the business for three to five days.
Even if they were doing things, they would mostly summon one or two people to give orders at home, and they would never sit in the office as serious as Jiang Li.
"Brother Jinkang is so polite.
I would like to thank Brother Jinkang for taking the trouble to come from Sichuan to drink my wedding wine.
Come on, take a seat."
Jiang Li put aside a document he was reviewing in his hand, looked up with a smile, and clicked The bell on the table rang, and someone soon brought the best tea.
Deng Xihou and Jiang Lipei spent a while together, and found that Jiang Li had no intention of talking about business, so he couldn't help but tell his true purpose, "To be honest with Commander Jiang, this time I came to Lanzhou not only to congratulate Commander Jiang, but also to talk to him.
You discuss the issue about Northern Sichuan, now The national crisis is at the forefront, and our Chairman Liu has always respected Commander Jiang.
If there are any problems, we can sit down and discuss them face to face.
There is no need to ruin the peace over some trivial matters.
Moreover, the red bandits are currently in chaos on the Sichuan-Shaanxi border.
These are our close enemies.
What does Commander Jiang think?"
"Since Brother Jinkang is on point, I won't make any detours here.
Although the 15th Route Army is still quite prosperous in the northwest, every family has a hard time to recite, and the northwest's own problems are also Quite a bit.
The northwest needs development, but its own population and resources are insufficient.
Sichuan has a large population and rich products, so I need these resources in Sichuan."
Jiang Li stopped talking in circles and said straightforwardly.
"So Commander Jiang wants to march into northern Sichuan, use northern Sichuan as a springboard, and then occupy Sichuan."
Deng Xihou's face instantly sank.
If this is the case, there will be nothing to talk about.
After returning, they will prepare for war.
"The need for Sichuan's resources and population does not necessarily need to be solved through war.
It can also be solved through cooperation.
If Brother Jinkang and Chairman Liu can cooperate with me for mutual benefit, they will naturally be very happy."
Jiang Li shook his head.
"May I ask Commander Jiang how to cooperate?"
Deng Xihou asked, hearing that Jiang Li's tone seemed to have room for maneuver.
"First, I plan to build two highways, one is the Sichuan-Shaanxi Highway and the other is the Sichuan-Gansu Highway.
These two highways will be funded by the Northwest, as long as Sichuan does not secretly obstruct them.
The right to operate the highway belongs to Gansu."
"Second, I will send a certain prospecting team into Sichuan, hoping that Chairman Liu can provide certain protection.
The minerals detected will be jointly funded and mined by both parties.
Equity and income will be distributed."
"Third, I hope Chairman Liu can provide support for Sichuan people to immigrate to the northwest.
These people may be refugees and disaster victims.
This will also solve part of Sichuan's own burden." "" "Commander Jiang's demands have almost turned Sichuan into his vassal."
Deng Xihou said with hesitation on his face.
"Military and political affairs are all handled by Sichuan itself.

Brother Jin Kang can go back and discuss with Chairman Liu where it is affiliated.
The 15th Route Army has no intention of occupying Sichuan.
After all, the Sichuan military system has been established.
A war will not benefit either side except the Red Bandits and Nanjing.
It would be best if we can cooperate.
If we cannot cooperate, the 15th Route Army may not be able to enter Sichuan, but there are always powerful people in Sichuan who want to cooperate with me. " Jiang Li spread his hands and said that the most attractive thing about Sichuan to Jiang Li was Sichuan's geographical location, population and iron ore resources.
Sichuan is the most populous province in the Republic of China, with as many as 50 to 60 million people.
At this time, after Jiang Li vigorously organized immigration in Gansu, Ningxia, and Qinghai, the number of immigrants was only over 10 million.
Even if Xinjiang is included, the number is only over 12 million.
A population of 50 to 60 million naturally represents a large number of soldiers of suitable age.
And Sichuan is located inland.
Whether it is fighting the Japanese army or possibly facing the Soviet Union in the future, Sichuan is an extremely safe rear base.
It can provide continuous support to the front line.
Sichuan's iron ore is the most important cornerstone of the national defense industry.
If the iron ore in Sichuan could be partially developed before the Anti-Japanese War, the plight of the lack of iron ore in the northwest would be solved in one fell swoop.
Liu Xiang has now completed the unification of Sichuan, and the warlord wars in Sichuan for many years have also subsided.
However, for the sake of future strategic layout, Jiang Li will gradually incorporate Sichuan resources into his own even if he risks going to war with Liu Xiang. within the control.
Compared with Sichuan, Gansu and Qinghai have inherent shortcomings.
"So what does Jiang Li say about the issue in northern Sichuan?"
Returning to Chongqing, Liu Xiang asked Deng Xihou.
"Maintain the current situation and stop here."
Deng Xihou said.
"I'm an ancestor of you, you are a child with a yellow mouth, you are really bullying me."
Liu Xiang slapped his hand on the table.
In his military career for decades, he defeated countless opponents and experienced hundreds of thousands of people.
It was only during the War of Conflict that he established his dominance over Sichuan.
Now that the Sichuan Provincial Chairman’s butt is still hot, Jiang Li actually wants to hand over his claws to Sichuan.
Liu Xiang is also a person who has experienced great storms.
For Jiang Li to be so arrogant How can I endure it?
"According to Chairman's wishes, we are going to start a war with the 15th Route Army," Deng Xihou asked.
"From Yuan Datou's Beiyang Army to Tang Jirao's Yunnan Army, which one is easy to mess with?
Didn't they all want to rule Sichuan and were beaten back in the end?
I don't believe that Jiang Li has three heads and six arms.
He wants to transform Sichuan.
If we become a colony of the 15th Route Army, we have to ask the Sichuan Army whether it will agree," Liu Xiang said bitterly, not long after he defeated Liu Wenhui.
The powerful factions in central Sichuan, including Deng Xihou, Tian Songyao, Liu Wenhui, and some other generals, may not necessarily obey his orders.
If he, the provincial chairman, is helpless in the face of an invasion by foreign enemies, it will undoubtedly be a major blow to his prestige, and he will be defeated.
If Bi's Sichuan interests are given away, how will he sit in this position in the future?
"On this humble trip to Lanzhou, I saw the elite level of the 15th Route Army that I have never seen in my life.
It is indeed not easy to defeat the opponent."
Expecting Liu Xiang to have such a reaction, Deng Xihou said with a solemn expression.
"I'm afraid of him.
Jiang Li is a stubborn man.
Although he is powerful, he offends not just one or two people, but three gangs for each good guy.
Jiang Li is so domineering, I don't believe Nanjing can tolerate him."

Liu Xiang smiled gloomily, "At this point, we can only ask Nanjing for help.
If Nanjing does not support Sichuan, I will cooperate with Jiang Li and see if Bald Jiang can sit still
