After a few deaths, Zhang Qun's report was handed over to Chiang Kai-shek's desk. In addition to the report, Zhang Xueliang's reading notes were handed over, including the notes on "The Destiny of China". After reading it, Chiang Kai-shek locked it into the drawer of the study without saying anything. Soong Mei-ling pretended not to know and secretly paid attention to Chiang Kai-shek's attitude. "　　"

As the war was approaching, domestic affairs became Chiang Kai-shek's key concern. Industrial enterprises gathered in the three southwestern provinces began to gradually migrate to the central region. Wuhan became a key area for migration. After two years of emergency repairs, the Hanyang Iron and Steel Plant resumed production and the newly built Wuhan Yangtze River Bridge was completed and opened to traffic. This was the first bridge across the Yangtze River. The opening of traffic caused a sensation across the country. Hubei Provincial Chairman Yu Hanmou and Song Ziwen, Vice President of the Executive Yuan of the National Government, attended the opening ceremony. Hundreds of Chinese and foreign journalists arrived from all over the country. The bridge chief designer Mao Yisheng announced the opening.

The Wuhan Yangtze River Bridge was completed and opened to traffic, connecting the Pinghan Railway and the Guangdong-Han Railway into a line, and military transportation became smooth. Trains from Guangzhou could go straight to Shanhaiguan, alleviating the pressure on logistics supplies on the front line.

With the completion of the Wuhan Yangtze River Bridge, the National Government announced the ten-year plan for transportation development and decided to build the Zhengzhou Yellow River Bridge and the Jinan Yellow River Bridge within ten years, and build a transportation network across the country with the Longhai Line and Pinghan Jinpu one horizontal and two vertical railway arteries as the axis.

In the newspaper, news about the war was greatly reduced. Three hundred thousand Japanese troops were entrenched in Jiangnan. Nearly two million troops in the Jianghuai War Zone and Jiangnan War Zone had no idea of ​​attacking. Xue Yue and Guan Linzheng focused on reorganizing the army and training. Guan Linzheng took the New 12th Army and the Ninety-Two Army as the core and vigorously reorganized local troops; Xue Yue took the civil engineering system as the core and reorganized all local troops in the Jiangnan War Zone.

In the northwest, the Xinjiang rebellion was completely quelled. After Bai Chongxi was transferred from Xinjiang, Chiang Kai-shek appointed Zhang Zhizhong as the chairman of Xinjiang Province, the chairman of the Mongolian-English Committee, and the director of the Mongolian-English Pacification Office; Liu Wenhui was the commissioner of the Southern Xinjiang Administrative Office, the vice chairman of the Mongolian-English Committee, the deputy director of the Mongolian-English Pacification Office, and Tao Zhiyue was the commander of the Xinjiang Security Bureau.

After Zhang Zhizhong took office in Xinjiang, he began to implement a series of reconciliation policies and invited a large number of upper-class ethnic minority enclosures to join the provincial government, alleviating the tension in Xinjiang.

Another result of Xinjiang's suppression of rebellion was that a large number of mining banks, which were invested and built by the former Soviet Union in Xinjiang, were nationalized. Although the Soviet Union protested, the Chinese government refused because these companies were established under the unfair treaty signed by Sheng Shicai and the Soviet Union. With the confiscation of these companies, the Soviet Union could no longer control the economy of Xinjiang.

The military and economic development momentum is good, but domestic politics has always been uneasy. Dozens of parties have been established across the country. Chiang Kai-shek felt a headache when he saw these parties. The Democratic League, the Democratic League, and the Democratic League Front are pretty good. What are the Women's Liberation Party, the Vegetarian Party, etc., and dozens of them have also established a party.

What made Chiang Kai-shek feel threatened was the GCD and the League Front. The GCD seemed to be unstable. After the end of the Northeast Battle, Zhou Enlai protested in regular talks between the two parties, accusing the Northeast War Zone troops of attacking the Eighth Route Army guerrillas in South Manchuria and instigating the New 11th Army troops. Chen Cheng refused to admit this, but agreed to allow the Northeast War Zone to investigate.

The Northeast War Zone quickly replied, admitting the former and refuting the latter allegation, believing that it was the New 11th Army's southward transition to the original puppet Manchukuo Defense Forces' rebellion, which had nothing to do with **.

As for the former, the Northeast War Zone did not know that there were Eighth Route Army guerrillas in the South Manchuria. According to intelligence, there were no Eighth Route Army troops in the Northeast. The New 11th Army fought in North Manchuria, and there were no Eighth Route Army troops in the South Manchuria. Therefore, the troops regarded the Eighth Route Army guerrillas as the puppet Manchuria National Defense Forces during the war. After the war zone discovered this, they had ordered the troops to pay attention.

Chen Cheng certainly knew that this must be something Zhuang Jihua intended to do. Before the Eighth Route Army's Battle of Northeast China, two troops entered the northeast, one to the north and the other to the south. The Yang C Wushu Division advanced to the Heilongjiang area and opened a base in the current southern part of Binjiang Province. Zeng Klin's troops advanced south and advanced to South Manchuria. This army faced greater difficulties. Japan entered South Manchuria for many years and had strict rule.

Zeng Klin had to disperse his troops to guerrillas. After the Battle of North China, the puppet Manchukuo was shaken. The main force of the Japanese army began to assemble to Shanhaiguan. The guerrillas gained room for development. Some local officials and police of the puppet Manchukuo began to contact the guerrillas. The guerrillas took the opportunity to open up some small bases.

However, in the Battle of Northeast China, Nanman was a key battlefield, with armies gathering on both sides, quickly compressing the space of the guerrillas. Zhuang Jihua seized the opportunity to eliminate the local regime formed by the guerrillas, and the army was either incorporated or driven away.

The Kuomintang in the Northeast has an absolute advantage. Although the two parties have conflicted, because Zhuang Jihua is under the leadership, the conflict is still under control, and the serious one is Shanxi.

In Shanxi, the Eighth Route Army occupied about half of the area, north, northwest, east and southeast of Shanxi and southeast of Shanxi were both occupied by the Eighth Route Army, and Yan Xishan and the Central Army each occupied half of the remaining area. Yan Xishan occupied the Taiyuan area, and Shanxi's flattest and fertile land, and the Central Army occupied the southern part of Shanxi.

Yan Xishan was not willing to accept this situation. On the one hand, he maintained superficial friendship with GCD. The senior officials of both sides often met and often cooperated with them. However, they continued to expand east and north in secret, frequently squeezed the GCD base government, provoking disputes between the two sides, and there were constant small-scale conflicts. Zhou Enlai frequently protested in Chongqing.

Chen Cheng said he could not help the situation in Shanxi. The central government had limited influence on Yan Xishan. The Jin army did not listen to Yan Xishan's actions and asked Yan'an to negotiate with Taiyuan. However, in private, Chiang Kai-shek provided Shanxi with 20 million French currency funds under extremely financial tensions, and at the same time provided the Jin army with all the equipment of the two reorganized troops. He drew thousands of military troops from various places to help Yan Xishan reorganized the army.

In order to fight against the military threat of the Kuomintang, Yan'an stepped up adjustments and deployments. Lin B led the main force of the New 11th Army to 60,000 southwards and returned to the pass, serving as commander of the Jin-Cha-Hebei Field Army, Chen Y served as commander of the East China Field Army, and Liu Bcheng served as commander of the Jin-Hebei-Shandong-Hebei Field Army.

While strengthening the military, Yan'an has also further rectified and unified the internal affairs of politics. The 7th Congress is stepping up preparations, and leaders from all over the country have joined and returned to Yan'an.

Strengthening defense in the military and strengthening attacks in the political sense is Yan'an's established strategy.

The staff of Hongyan Office frequently attended rallies of various parties, and promoted political reforms, promoted democracy, and formed a coalition government on various occasions. This proposition was supported by most parties, and the Democratic League and the United Front of the People also put forward their own propositions, all of which required the Kuomintang to end the tutoring and implement constitutionalism.

But Chen Cheng also knew that Yan'an was also stepping up preparations for war. The information from the Suiyuan Station of the Military Control Commission showed that in recent times, the Sino-Mongolia border area has been busy with transportation, and a large number of weapons and equipment, including 105 howitzers, crossed the border from Mongolia and entered the Eighth Route Army controlled area. Intelligence entrants hidden in Suiyuan estimated that these weapons were enough to equip 50,000 troops.

After reporting these situations, Chiang Kai-shek did not react much. Yan'an was expected to obtain weapons and equipment from the Soviet Union. He instructed the ambassador to the Soviet Union to negotiate with the Soviet side, but there was no other action. The one he was most concerned about now was Deng Yanda.

After Deng Yanda became seriously ill-fated, he seemed very low-key after he became abnormally low-key. Except for interviews with American journalists Weber and Bai Xiude, he did not accept interviews with other journalists.

The Democratic League Front Branch in Chenyang, Changchun, Harbin and other places was established in a low-key manner. Deng Yanda only attended the establishment ceremony of the Shenyang branch and rarely appeared. It seemed that the assassination on the road had already made him frightened.

Pay attention to Deng Yanda mainly because of Zhuang Jihua. Zhuang Jihua's current attitude is unpredictable. After the last time he was angry, Zhuang Jihua did not mention this matter again. He didn't know how he convinced Deng Yanda and kept him silent.

It seems that Zhuang Jihua has completely focused his attention on the reconstruction of the Northeast. He moved his experience in southwest development to the Northeast. He invited experts from the former southwest development to the Northeast, and then proposed a plan for the construction of road traffic in the Northeast and began to rebuild Northeast transportation.

After the 500 million legal tender was invested in the Northeast, it injected energy into the Northeast economy. Factory construction started, banks opened, and shops opened. People took the hidden pseudo Manchu coins to the bank to exchange. Manchu Bank and Japanese Bank were nationalized. Zhuang Jihua did not hand over it, but formed a new bank, Northeast Bank.

Northeast Bank is a joint venture bank, Industrial and Commercial Bank of China, Sichuan Development Bank, and Siming Bank controlled by Yu Qiaqing successively injected capital into Northeast Bank and became shareholders of Northeast Bank. With the help of traditional advantages and with the hundreds of millions of funds invested successively, Northeast Bank quickly became the largest bank in Northeast China.

The war allowed the entire country to experience the baptism of blood and fire. The entire northern China became a huge construction site. Yaojin, Langfang, and Tanggu, the important towns in the North China Plain were full of construction sites, and all regions were asking for money from the central government.

Song Ziwen also made Chiang Kai-shek feel a headache at this time. Chiang Kai-shek rummaged through his pockets but couldn't find a few pieces of legal tender. He hoped to adopt Kong Xiangxi's approach to implement deficit finance, but Song Ziwen was not a thousand, thinking that this would cause violent inflation. Chiang Kai-shek settled for the second best and hoped to issue bonds to raise some funds, but Song Ziwen refused on the 1st.

On this issue, Ma Yinchu and Liu Hangchen, deputy director of the Ministry of Finance, supported Chiang Kai-shek's opinion. Ma Yinchu believed that with the victory of the war, the circulation of fiat currency also expanded. "The Japanese army used to implement economic warfare and prohibited the circulation of fiat currency in the occupied areas. The purpose was to attack our economy. Now, North China and Northeast are restored. These areas have more than 100 million entrances. Calculated by the average use of 100 fiat currency per year, it can accommodate 10 billion fiat currency. Inflation is not terrible. As long as inflation is controlled within a certain range, it is acceptable."

Liu Hangchen also believes that deficit finance can be implemented and the issuance of one billion fiat currency will not bring much inflation. Moreover, the funds needed for reconstruction in North China are huge, and the funds needed for Yaojin alone exceed 2 billion. Even if private capital is included, 300 million is needed as startup capital.
