The Republic of Heroes

Wu Xiaoliang's plan to cross the river was finally delayed. Due to the untimely deployment, the ferry was not ready as planned, so he had to wait patiently at Pukou.However, another local warlord came to Beijing to participate in the reconciliation, and he was Zhang Xueliang.

The two who hadn't planned to meet each other unexpectedly met because of this accident. Zhang Xueliang still hesitated before meeting Wu Xiaoliang. His feelings towards Wu Xiaoliang were extremely complicated, and it was not simply a matter of interest between political enemies. Entanglement, he has experienced from admiration to suspicion to exclusion or hatred, and jealousy and envy may also be mixed during the period.

In the eyes of others, Zhang Xueliang, as the eldest son of Zhang Zuolin, the leader of Fengjun, invited heaven to be lucky. It can be said that the road to success is smooth with the support of his father. The women around him are like clouds, singing and singing every night, so he also got the fourth son of the Republic of China One of the nicknames, but these are already elusive things in the eyes of outsiders, and he feels that they are not worth mentioning, even ridiculous.

Relying on the strong support of the old coach Zhang Zuolin, he can be said to have achieved some achievements in the early stage, and he even thinks that he has surpassed the big brother he once admired so much in some aspects.

Think about it, the Feng army entered the customs for the second time, defeated the Feng faction and went straight to the Yangtze River Basin, and even held Shanghai in its hands.

In comparison, Wu Xiaoliang, the eldest brother he once admired, is even far behind. It is just to occupy a piece of territory in the land of Huawai, and keep Mongolia without losing it. What is the achievement of almost dominating the country of the Republic of China? Woolen cloth?

But soon the first round of blows came. Guo Guizi fought against Feng from Beijing to Fengtian.

Just when the anti-Feng rebels broke into Fengtian, and even the old commander Zhang Zuolin was helpless, Zhang Xueliang suddenly realized that those so-called achievements before were nothing but bullshit.

Until Wu Xiaoliang suddenly appeared in Beijing ten years after his resignation, the fire of jealousy that had been biting his heart for several years suddenly erupted without any warning.After learning about Wu Xiaoliang's various suspicious situations, he didn't choose to trust him, and he didn't even question him.He gave himself an excuse in his heart, a grand excuse to defeat him again, and that was to abandon him.

In fact, a big reason for this is the influence and harm caused to him by Guo Songling's betrayal. Zhang Xueliang now doubts all the powerful people around him. He even doubted Zhang Zuoxiang, who has been doing his best to doubt him, but it was only suspicion. .

Yang Yuting was brutally murdered because of his aloof and extreme nature, and met Zhang Xueliang, who was also gradually becoming extreme.It was because of Yang Yuting's killing that Zhang and Wu broke up completely. The relationship between the two can reach this point, which Wu Xiaoliang absolutely did not expect at the beginning.

The boy who was naive, playful and brave without losing his wit disappeared in the sea of ​​time with the passage of time.All that remains now is a poor man struggling to be free.

"Han Qing, are you all right?"

With a faint smile on Wu Xiaoliang's face, he walked forward quickly and gave this former little brother who was much haggard a lot a warm hug.And Zhang Xueliang was obviously embarrassed by Wu Xiaoliang's enthusiasm, and the expression on his face was extremely unnatural, and he put on a hard smile.

"Admiral Wu drove away the Japanese devils and made great contributions to the party and the country. Now the spring breeze is in full swing. Congratulations, brother, congratulations..."

As if he was refusing to leave people thousands of miles away, Wu Xiaoliang didn't take it seriously and waved his hand.

"What's the point of mentioning this? Now that there's a civil war and you're going to be a sinner of the nation, how dare you talk about meritorious deeds. On the contrary, my brother Han Qing is very open-minded and supports domestic reconciliation. If this happens in the future, The people in the country were spared from being slaughtered, and Han Qing's contribution stood above me."

Zhang Xueliang's face turns red and turns pale. Now he has nothing to mention in front of Wu Xiaoliang. He even lost the three eastern provinces left to him by his father. What face can he compare with human beings?As for Wu Xiaoliang's polite compliment, it sounded even more ironic to him.For a while, I didn’t know what to say. The power-up that supported the reconciliation, now it seems that this is not a bad move. No matter where he is, he has more room to maneuver. More importantly, the power-up is still It has greatly recovered his reputation loss caused by losing his teacher and land.

He even saw a lot of voices turning to speak for him in the original one-sided crusade in the country.

The two strolled along the pier by the river, Wu Xiaoliang walked in front, Zhang Xueliang was half a step behind, Wu Xiaoliang didn't speak, Zhang Xueliang remained silent.

Wu Xiaoliang stopped suddenly, turned his head to look at Zhang Xueliang, and said solemnly: "Han Qing, let's settle down!"

He looked at Zhang Xueliang's dodging eyes, and finally expressed his thoughts that had been brewing for a long time. At first, he thought it would be difficult to have another chance, but he was made to wait because of the ferry accident.

"what?"

Zhang Xueliang didn't realize it for a while. This was originally a private rift, which could not be brought to the fore. Outsiders saw it as a dispute between the two.Wu Xiaoliang was exposed in such an undisguised manner, what was his plan?He felt the aggressive gaze, and he didn't even dare to look up. When he met his eyes, he couldn't help but collapsed and looked elsewhere.

A deep sense of frustration finally occupied his entire chest, only to hear Wu Xiaoliang say again in hatred:

"Hanqing, your biggest enemy and mine are the Japanese. Wouldn't it be nice for us two brothers to join hands and let me help you take back the Northeast?"

Zhang Xueliang suddenly calmed down. Although the Northeast Army suffered successive defeats and made the situation worse, the skinny camel was bigger than a horse after all. Wu Xiaoliang's situation in the country was precarious, so he naturally wanted to win him over. First draw a big pie.He narrowed his eyes and looked at Wu Xiaoliang, this time he was not breaking down, he wanted to see something else in Wu Xiaoliang's eyes, but he found nothing except strong expectations.Zhang Xueliang finally felt that he had found his place between the two of them during today's meeting.

The calmness of Mr. Pian Pianjia, who was in the political arena of the Republic of China, returned to him, and his jealousy and inferiority were instantly left behind, because he was no longer the simple young man he was back then. Afterwards, the burden on him became heavier and heavier, making him unable to breathe, but there was also a trace of good steel.

From this moment on, Zhang Xueliang bid farewell to the self-willed and casual him at the beginning. Now he does not live for himself, but only for the [-] Northeast Army behind him.

"Brother Ang, there is something unclear about Xueliang, and the internal affairs are not stable. How can we talk about expulsing the Japanese invaders?"

Asking this question is actually exposing Wu Xiaoliang's act of painting cakes.

Wu Xiaoliang was keenly aware of the change in Zhang Xueliang's temperament, and his gaze changed from being scattered to firm. Although the familiar shadow was getting farther and farther away from him, it was a good thing after all. It was him who dared to face the reality and take responsibility. The top priority of the Lord of the Army.As for Zhang Xueliang's deep distrust and sarcasm in his words, he still smiled back.

"Expulsing the Japanese aggressors is not a panacea, but a long-term strategy. The huge civil war can't last long. The Japanese army is eyeing a full-scale invasion of China. It's only a matter of time. How can a mere Northeast satisfy their insatiable desires? Therefore, the current plan , the civil war must end, and accumulating strength to fight back against the Japanese invaders is the key!"

Speaking of this, Wu Xiaoliang's blood suddenly boiled, and an idea rolled in his mind. If Zhang Xueliang was pulled over, the two of them planned to fight against Japan, and the preparations made before the Japanese army invaded China must be a hundred times stronger than in previous lives.

At that time, it may not be so easy when the Japanese army really wants to launch an incident, right?

Wu Xiaoliang's gaze towards Zhang Xueliang gradually turned fiery. Zhang Xueliang probably also realized the change in his gaze, but he didn't understand where this fiery heat came from?

What good would it do him to hit the Japanese?He has no national hatred and family hatred, Shandong does not border the Japanese military-occupied area, and he has no imminent crisis. How can he turn a blind eye to the suppression of Commander-in-Chief Chiang in front of him and just focus on the Japanese?After several considerations, he almost regarded Wu Xiaoliang's remarks as an extension of the previous painting.

"China has a vast land and resources, and Japan is a tiny place. How can it swallow China? Besides, Brother Ang's immediate priority is Henan. Isn't it a bit far-fetched to talk about this now?"

Zhang Xueliang's words were still sharp and full of sarcasm, Wu Xiaoliang still didn't care, and continued:

"Hanqing is blinded by one leaf, but remember that I still have Suidong and Mongolia. Even if there is nothing left in the country, I can still fight against the Japanese invaders!"

Zhang Xueliang was stunned. The development of Suidong in the past ten years may not be clear to the people in the pass, but he knows best. The industrial strength of several provinces in the country may not be able to catch up with it. How can Suidong be forgotten? Going to Suidong, Wu Xiaoliang really has a lot to do, and it is indeed not empty talk to say that he will fight against the Japanese invaders.

"What should we do in the country?"

Zhang Xueliang's meaning is obvious. Of course, the country cannot give up easily. The current focus is still on how to maintain domestic interests.

Wu Xiaoliang smiled lightly again: "It couldn't be easier, capture Henan and Shaanxi, and build a line of defense that spans east and west!"

Zhang Xueliang couldn't understand why Wu Xiaoliang was so determined that China and Japan would go to war sooner or later. Couldn't it be that Japan stopped in Manchuria?How much appetite do they have to swallow China at once?

Of course, he still has deep doubts. If Japan really goes to war, can the joint efforts of Zhang and Wu be able to stop the island country from fighting hard?The Battle of Shanghai was just a foreplay. If the Japanese army used their main force, how many rounds could they hold back?
