On December 19, Chiang Kai-shek and Zhang and Yang's troops issued a statement in Xi'an: First, stop the civil war and cooperate with the Kuomintang and the Communist Party; second, resist the further invasion of Japan by force; third, placing several pro-Japanese elements in Nanjing to actively unite with Britain, the United States and the Soviet Union; fourth, reorganizing Zhang Yang's troops and treating the Central Army equally; fifth, giving the people greater political freedom, sixth, rebuilding the Nanjing government organization into a democratic system.

The next day, Zhang Xueliang personally accompanied Lao Jiang to Nanjing by plane...

Upon hearing this news, Zhu Bin, the think tank and the General Staff concluded: "A decisive battle between China and Japan is inevitable!"

If China is still divided, then Japan's easing factions or young and strong factions will still make plans to slowly erode in some areas. However, Chiang Kai-shek cannot successfully suppress bandits in one day and cannot resist Japan with peace of mind in one day. This cycle may take three to five years, or even longer. Even if he loses Pingjin, Hebei, it is not unacceptable. Anyway, Chiang Kai-shek's mentor Sun Dapao Yixian has discussed with Japan, so it is no problem to allocate them to the Northeast! China's land is large, not that bad.

But now that Zhang Yang has made such a fuss, Chiang Kai-shek is forced to make a policy of unanimous anti-Japanese policy to the outside world. He must continue to implement it anyway. All parts of the country must also take this as the premise of the action program and cannot cause disputes and internal struggles. Otherwise, it will be a great sinner who destroys China's autonomy and will be beaten to death by groups. Therefore, it is an unchangeable trend to direct the domestic people's hearts and military forces to foreign wars.

In order to complete the plan to occupy the three northeastern provinces as soon as possible, Japan, from Hirohito, the cabinet, the Senate, the nobles, and the heads of all politicians from all walks of life, all openly and secretly promoted the argument of "Japan sinking", and forced farmers to move to North Korea and the three northeastern provinces by coercion and inducement. At the same time, the first phase of industrialization construction in Manchuria and North Korea has been completed, and Japan's comprehensive industrial strength has increased significantly, with steel alone reaching tens of millions of tons! The oil extraction volume has also reached 3.5 million tons, the production of refining and coal-to-oil will reach 8 million tons next year, and the copper output will reach 500,000 tons (mainly from the Fuji gold mine) and will receive no less than 100,000 tons per year.

The coal production reaches 80 million tons, the annual output of aircraft reaches 3,000 aircraft, the annual output capacity of tanks and vehicles reaches 1,000, and the production capacity of various large-caliber artillery reaches 2,000 units. The production capacity of automobiles reaches 50,000 vehicles, and the shipbuilding capacity is 1 million tons, of which 100,000 tons of warships, doubled compared with the previous one.

In 1936 alone, Japan's total investment in military industry was nearly 4 billion, and it will increase next year, with its GDP reaching 8 billion US dollars, and military expenditures will account for more than 50% of fiscal revenue! Driven by the military industry, Japan's economy has recovered rapidly, various investments in infrastructure, the manufacturing of new warships and the strengthening of the army will even cause a significant economic surge. Coupled with the intentional depreciation of the yen and the issuance of currencies and other means that strongly stimulate domestic demand, the GDP of next year will exceed 10 billion US dollars.

Referring to some measures from Zhu Bin of the United States, Germany and China, Japan tasted the sweetness of strengthening construction and driving the economy. Major consortiums began to use Northeast China and North Korea's mineral resources and land resources as bargaining chips to release their wealth, giving millions of immigrants various preferential conditions and infrastructure support. This alone would cost nearly US$1 billion. If Liaoning is to be built into the second Japanese center, it is expected that the ten-year construction period will require at least US$10 billion. The pull on the entire industry will be immediate!

Japan, which seemed to be a sign of prosperity, was greatly stimulated, and under unprecedented pressure due to the shadows caused by the earthquake, some stubborn persistence began to loosen under the leadership of Emperor Hirohito. The emphasis on Manchuria and Mongolia is no longer the matter of the Kanto Army, the army and the ambitious people themselves, but a major plan that really concerns the survival of the Japanese nation!

Therefore, the plan to firmly defend Manchuria, Mongolia and North Korea as the new empire and turn North China into a buffer zone and war zone is put on the table. Now China is going to fight against Japan in a single force and recover lost territory. There is no need to mention political blackmail, and only fight to the end!

Chiang Kai-shek escaped safely, the whole country celebrated, and firecrackers kept ringing all night, but in the eyes of those with insight, this is the prelude to the outbreak of the Sino-Japanese War. After hearing Chiang Kai-shek's statement, the envoys of the representatives of the United States, France and Italy almost danced on the spot. The Sino-Japanese War is inevitable! And the battle must be very cruel, and the war is rich, and Japan's threat to various countries will be reduced sharply. Good things! Great things!

But for Zhu Bin, this is a very bad thing!

It turned out that he thought that he could delay the trouble with the Japanese in North China for a year or two, which was enough for him to integrate his strength and improve his military. Through the hands of Yan Laoxi and Shang Zhen, the situation in Shaanxi was indirectly worsened. Some people had guns and industries, and the forces in northern Shaanxi were definitely not the ones who were half-hearted. Yang Hucheng and Hu Zongnan who fought repeatedly could not defeat them. They could not defeat them even if they had been through 25,000 miles of Long March. After the elites who had been through many battles were supplemented by weapons, they would be even more problematic to deal with the Central Army and local miscellaneous troops. It is optimistic that it would be no problem to support them for three or five years.

But this plan is to completely abort with an incident in Xi'an, and we must face the dangerous situation that may come at any time!

On December 26, 1936, the day after Chairman Jiang officially escaped from danger, a huge "Chairman's Escape Celebration Conference" was held across the country. Zhu Bin was not immune to the customs. Shen Honglie organized a grand cocktail party in Jinan to participate in a celebrity in all walks of life. Basically, everyone who had the identity name was coming, and the lively and bustling scene was very lively.

But at the formal internal meeting held after the banquet, the atmosphere was solemn as if it was the severe winter outside. Zhu Bin spoke with a gloomy face in the middle of the rostrum, saying a thrilling sentence: "Everyone, the Sino-Japanese War may break out at any time, and we will be the first target of attack. How to deal with it, are you ready?"

Although everyone knows that such a thing will happen, but when the beginning is coming, no one can get up easily. The main thing is to look at each other. The Chief of Staff and Chief Advisor Jiang Baili stood up and spoke gracefully: "Our General Staff suggests that it is better to take the initiative than to deal with it passively. Once the Japanese army provokes a dispute, do not negotiate or test, they must do their best in the first battle and must destroy the Japanese's spirit."

There is no one in the world who is better than the Japanese. Jiang Baili wrote this book specifically and has the most say. He also has the deepest understanding of Japanese strategies and tactics. He is very clear about the tricks used by the Japanese, such as "nothing is wrong, creating trouble, not issuing notices, sudden attacks; night attacks, light troops advance directly; first battle is the decisive battle, fast attacks and fierce attacks", and has made such a counter-attack.

The Japanese people are poor and lack the potential for war. When the Northeast and North Korea are not fully digested, they will definitely pursue quick victory once the war begins. Otherwise, they will be dragged down and fall into a war of attrition, which is extremely unfavorable to them.

Cao Hanze said: "It should be seen that our situation is very similar to that of Japan, both of which are lacking in background. Once a war starts, there will be people around who are waiting to take advantage of the situation. Chiang Kai-shek only knows verbal support and also expects the Japanese to consume our military strength and strength. They will definitely fight alone like the Beiyang. Therefore, a war of attrition is also quite unfavorable for us. Therefore, quick victory is necessary."

Zhu Bin nodded and lamented in his heart. Being a hero in China is destined to be a tragedy. When you can do it, you will be cold-eyed and waiting for you to be unlucky. When you succeed, you are envious, jealous and hatred, and slander and attacks drag your legs. When you fail, you will be framed by the dog. If you knock it down on the ground and step on ten thousand feet. It will never turn over. It is best. When your bones can be used to play drums, you will give a dry title and eat raw pork incense. Want to live your life with success? Throughout history, only Guo Ziyi of the Tang Dynasty has done it.

Just fighting against a powerful enemy like Japan, you have to be careful of stabbing the knife in the back. How sad!

There is no more to say about this kind of blow to morale, Zhu Bin quickly smoothed out: "We didn't expect that those of Chiang Kai-shek would be demolished. Those who talked about it will eventually be liquidated. Besides, we are much better than Beiyang, at least 90% of scientific research, 25% of the population, 80% of the industry, 100% of the agriculture and 100% of the finance, 70% of the military industry, 90% of the aircraft manufacturing and 100% of the ship manufacturing. We can basically mobilize most of the national strength to fight against the Japanese army, and the situation is already quite ideal."

This is not a false statement. Nowadays, scientific researchers across the country are basically in Guangming City, and warship manufacturing is under Zhu Bin's control. The industrial system built along the Yangtze River has ships to take care of. The largest Chongqing base is in order and storm under the management of Lu Zuofu. Song Ziwen and Kong Xiangxi tried to intervene but failed. They were serious and could not grab, fight, or kill. If they wanted to expand their shares and increase their capital, they would be useless to sell the four major banks--Zhu Bin had more money than them.

The butler Zhang Guoshu knew the point of notes Zhu Bin's speech: "As of now, the comprehensive industrial strength and economic strength we control have all reached expectations. We have completed 260 heavy industry, basic industrial facilities, 21,000 downstream light industry and auxiliary industries, including 3,500 in Shanghai, 3,200 in Shandong, 1,800 in Chongqing, 2,200 in Wuhan, 1,500 in Nanjing, 1,300 in Henan, 2,400 in Pingjin and Hebei, and more than 10,000 under construction in Hainan, Guangxi and other places."

"Specific output value, steel production and production volume reaches 4 million tons, with a production capacity of 7 million tons, and a production capacity of 10 million tons next year, most of which are high-quality industrial and military steel, and civilian crude steel is the minority. Coal output is 45 million tons, and next year it can reach 70 million tons; natural gas output is 50 million cubic meters, total oil conversion is 1 million tons, coal-to-oil 1.5 million tons, imported crude oil reserves 25 million tons, annual refining capacity is 5 million tons, nitrogen fertilizer output is 3 million tons; fine chemical output value accounts for one fifth of the world's total."

"The automobile manufacturing capacity reaches 300,000 vehicles, all of which are trucks, geep vehicles and large track machinery. They can be put into production military models at any time, with shipbuilding capacity reaching 1 million tons next year, of which 300,000 tons of warships will be manufactured, and will increase to a total of 5 million tons at twice the rate each year. The aircraft manufacturing capacity has reached 3,000 and tank production capacity of 2,000, and will double the capacity in two years."

After reading this, the backbone of the venue who only cared about one aspect of construction was no longer calm and exclaimed: "So many! I really didn't expect that it has only been a few years...there are benefits and interests!"

Zhu Bin's cheeks were thrusting, and he screamed in his heart: "This is what I have made of real money and silver, right?"

Five years! In a full five years, he transported a full 20 million tons of gold ore to Germany to provide efficient smelting and extraction technology. The Germans obtained at least 400 tons of gold, 40,000 tons of silver, 2 million tons of copper and 5 million tons of zinc. These alone are worth more than 1.5 billion US dollars, which is the net output!

In addition, since the previous year, the total export of pure strategic metals, manganese, nickel, cobalt, silicon, tungsten, antimony, titanium, etc. to Germany is 2 million tons. The prices of these metals are even higher than gold ore. They are all replaced by first-hand and second-hand industrial facilities and production lines, which directly drive Germany out of the shadow of the economic crisis and indirectly affect Britain, the United States and other countries, and have a huge impact on the entire world.

In addition, Zhu Bin's total smelting and refining was second only to the Germans, especially the strategic non-ferrous metals. The nearly 20,000 tons of silver and hundreds of tons of gold that the Germans themselves could not use were directly purchased by him in the international market and became strategic resources, such as the British iron-rich ore, high-quality coal, cotton, chromium, vanadium, zirconium mined from South Africa, copper and uranium mined from Australia, etc., which cost a lot of money!

Basically, it was easy to move a small half of the bankrupt steel mills, shipyards, machine factories and machine tool factories in Britain, the United States, France, Italy and Germany to piece together the huge industrial foundation of China today?

If you don’t be a good person, you don’t know how expensive it is! If it weren’t for the continuous mining of mineral resources at sea, and the continuous mining of fine chemicals, synthetic fibers, electronics, precision machinery and super heavy industry, they will produce high-yield crops, special medical devices, and a series of antibiotics and new drugs that are priced at all, and they will not be able to support such rapid industrial expansion; it is not for him who spent a lot of money to force the construction of tens of millions of people, naval construction alone can push him into adulthood!

A group of young and energetic war madmen, however, no matter how difficult it is to be a boss, were ready to shout: "Our strength is not worse than that of little Japanese! Fight with them! I will kill that ***!"

Zhu Bin rolled his eyes in anger, and he thought that guns, cannons and ammunition were all grown from the ground, right? The shells were all money when they were bombed out! One battleship shell was four or five thousand dollars! With a loud bang, a large water column exploded, and a craft tank was gone!

I can't understand them, so I cover my head.

However, the atmosphere suddenly became warm. Jiang Baili looked at Zhu Bin's bitter face and laughed secretly. He coughed lightly to suppress the riot and continued: "In combat against Japan, the three navy, army and air force must be coordinated and divided into different severity. The main force of the navy should break the diplomatic relations and harass the main force of its joint fleet, and it is necessary to force it to not fight decisively before the battleships are put into service. Our aircraft carriers and warship main guns are not enough, and it is not easy to carry out an expedition."

"In terms of the air force, it will focus on comprehensively blocking the Japanese air raids and bombings, and try to avoid both sides of the defeat. Once a war begins, new fighter jets must take full advantage to quickly eliminate the Japanese air force."

"In the army, each division is used as the combat units, which is flexible and maneuverable, and does not fight a position attributable war with the Japanese army. We will give full play to our mechanized advantages, integrate the air and ground, and take the main goal of annihilation of their living forces. We will not be affected by rigid command outside the friendly system!"
