"Commander, please don't tell me that you haven't thought about these issues at all," Feng Zhanhai said, seeing the aloof look on Jiang Li's face.
"No matter what happens in Nanjing, we must take the initiative to bring the young commander back, otherwise the Northeast soldiers will have a different mentality.
Chairman Chiang's strategy of retreating in order to advance is indeed used beautifully."
The smile on Jiang Li's face dropped at this moment.
He just let Zhang Xueliang come back, but actually appointed him as the deputy director of the northern camp, making him an equal.
In addition, Zhang Xueliang is still the supreme commander of the Northeast Army, and there are many generals who are loyal to Zhang Xueliang.
But before Nanjing held Zhang Xueliang, on the one hand, the favor owed to Yu Fengzhi really had to be repaid, so from this aspect, Jiang Li did not think that he was a person who could play politics well.
On the other hand, if I don't make some efforts to get Zhang Xueliang out, I am afraid that the Northeast Army may not easily obey his dispatch and go to various places to fight the war.
After all, Chairman Chiang was a figure.
He had previously put pressure on Nanjing through Liu Xiang, and Chairman Chiang quickly responded to him.
Not a single soldier is wasted, but the effect is far greater than the threat of two or three divisions.
"In any case, we still have some friendship with the Marshal and the Northeastern Army.
Besides the Northwest, who can ensure that the logistics of the Northeastern Army is so complete, and who can lead them to fight the Japanese army all the way?"
I said that whoever shakes the united resistance front and threatens the current situation of the Republic of China is my enemy. " "Hiss, what does the commander mean?"
Feng Zhanhai was suddenly surprised.
"Things haven't progressed to that point yet.
Our relationship with the Young Marshal is still pretty good at the moment."
An unfathomable smile appeared on Jiang Li's face, since Nanjing can detain Zhang Xueliang.
Jiang Li was naturally capable of doing this kind of thing.
But the difference is.
Although Nanjing detained Zhang Xueliang, the Northeast Army wanted to fight north, and did not want to follow Nanjing's wishes and always confront the Red Army and local warlords.
However, Jiang Li's approach was consistent with the thoughts of most Northeast Army generals and soldiers.
Detaining Zhang Xueliang can still command these Northeastern troops, but things have not yet progressed to that point.
"A commander is still a commander."
Feng Zhanhai smiled.
Originally, he thought Jiang Li couldn't bear Zhang Xueliang.
After all, Jiang Li's uncle Huang Xiansheng had been greatly favored by Zhang Xueliang in the past.
In contrast, most of them were affiliated with the Northeast Army in the past, and their friendship with Zhang Xueliang was not deep at first.
In contrast, their friendship with Jiang Li was forged in the flames of war.
After working together for several years, we have become extremely strong.
Feng Zhanhai naturally did not hope that Zhang Xueliang would occupy Nestlé after coming to the northwest.
However, in comparison, no matter how great the threat from Zhang Xueliang was, what Feng Zhanhai and others were most worried about was that Jiang Lihui would not be able to make up his mind.
Even though the Northeastern Army is not small in scale, it has been broken into pieces.
Even if Zhang Xueliang wants to gather the Northeast Army together, it depends on whether the Northwest General Staff agrees.
Feng Zhanhai would be stupid to do such a thing.
A scattered Northeastern Army obviously cannot be a strong support for Zhang Xueliang.
At this time, the size of the Northwest Army of the headquarters was gradually expanding, and the Northeast Army's battle-damaged troops were mostly supplemented by the Northwest, except for the Northeast's borrowed generals who recruited some troops locally during abnormal wartime periods.
According to the Northwest General Staff's It is estimated that in two or three years, the size of the Northwest Army will be at least over one million.
The farther back, the more diluted the Northeast Army will be.
By that time, the Northeast Army was no longer a threat to the New Northwest, which controlled large areas such as Northwest, Henan, Suiyuan, and Northern Sichuan, and had even been almost assimilated.
But the key thing is that Jiang Lizai must close the hole now.
"Nanjing is giving us eye drops, but we can't let him get too happy with Jiang.
It seems that the pressure from the Japanese is not enough.
The second batch of aircraft delivered to them will be delayed."
Soon, Jiang Li made another decision.

Although he had never been a fan of Nanjing, Nanjing did have legal status in the Republic of China at this time.
If Nanjing did not appoint Zhang Xueliang, deputy director of the northern camp, then he would annex the Northeast Army.
Much more convenient.
In fact, Nanjing was already losing ground in the Songhu area at this time, and anyone with a discerning eye could see that Songhu could no longer be defended.
However, many people, including Chairman Chiang Kai-shek, still pinned their hopes on the intervention of the great powers.
After Jiang Li invested the elite forces of the Northwest Army in North China, The fight was a little better, and as a result, the number of Japanese tanks that were supposed to appear in the North China battlefield was one-third more than before.
Correspondingly, the number of Japanese tanks transferred to the Songhu Theater was reduced a lot, with dozens of tanks piled up.
The lineup together is not something that ordinary battles can withstand.
Not only tanks, but also the number of aircraft that were originally supposed to be dispatched to the Songhu Theater was reduced.
Although the Japanese army's reserves were relatively complete, before the July 7th Incident, there were only 17 permanent divisions, and at least 3 to 4 divisions were left in the Northeast to guard against potential threats from the Soviet Union.
At this time, the number of Japanese troops appearing in North China included 8 divisions.
Even though the troops were divided into several groups, they still did not have an absolute advantage.
In Shanghai, the Japanese army also gradually increased their troops, and as many as 8 divisions appeared. 5, the Japanese army still has some troops left in the mainland, Taiwan, and North Korea.
At the same time, in Songhu, the casualties suffered in North China also need to be supplemented by a large number of troops.
The more Japanese troops the North China side attracts, the pressure on the Songhu side will naturally be smaller.
Therefore, although Chairman Chiang's side is struggling to cope at this time, it is not as embarrassed as it was in history.
No wonder Chairman Chiang thinks that some internal intrigues are nothing.
However, Jiang Li was not a nice guy.
Chairman Chiang didn't realize it, so he wanted to help him realize it.
At this time, instead of focusing on the northwest, it was better to think more about how to protect oneself from the Japanese army's advancing step by step.
Perhaps only after the fall of Nanjing can we realize the seriousness of the matter.
Jiang Li had no hope that Chairman Chiang could hold Nanjing, but Wuhan could not be lost easily.
Because of this, until now, Jiang Li had not deployed the five northwest divisions stationed in northern Sichuan.
The purpose was to maintain a deterrent effect on central Sichuan and let Chiang know that retreating to Sichuan was not a good idea, forcing Chiang to defend Wuhan from the rear and ensure the safety of the southern section of Pinghan Road.
Chairman Chiang certainly does not want his area to be threatened by the northwest.
Similarly, retreating to the southwest is not a good choice.
After all, the transportation in the southwest is too backward.
Once it retreats to the southwest, it looks like it has degenerated into a local warlord.
Presumably this was something Jiang was unwilling to accept.
The so-called having guns in hand means not panicking.
In addition, in northern Sichuan, Jiang Lin could mobilize more than 200,000 direct troops at any time, and this did not include the mobilization of supplementary troops.
However, with the capabilities of Northwest China at this time, it is already extremely difficult to ensure the logistics in the three directions of Henan, Shanxi, and Suiyuan.
The situation in Gansu is slightly better.
The transportation foundation between Shaanxi and Henan is still not good.
Jiang Li does not want to take the Nanjing route.
The old path of increasing military strength without improving technological content is not an option, nor is it sustainable, and the war of resistance happens to be a protracted and long process
