After lunch that day, Zhao Zhenzhong originally wanted to leave with the officers and soldiers who went to Huludao Wharf to drive back to the car, and then joined Wales where he stayed there and ran to Chenyang. However, Yu Xuezhong disagreed and said to him: "I haven't seen you for a few years and don't rush to leave. It just so happened that the headquarters had something to go to Chenyang the day after tomorrow. I will go to Chenyang with me. In the past two days, you can let me do my best to be a landlord. However, the conditions in Suizhong are not comparable to your Sihai Restaurant. If there is any negligence, I will be more grateful."

Seeing Yu Xuezhong was so enthusiastic, Zhao Zhenzhong heard that he would go to Chenyang together. He thought that with this general of the Northeast Army coming forward, he would save his energy a lot. He agreed and said, "I won't refuse if my brother is so enthusiastic. However, there is an American waiting in Huludao. I will ask Yuntian to go to Chenyang with him first. After all, my brother is in a military camp, so it is not good to let a foreigner come here."

"Your brother is thoughtful." Yu Xuezhong smiled, "It's okay. I'm a military camp, but Suizhong County is not a military camp. I have someone to take him to the county town to find an inn to settle in for two days. I'll take him with me together when we go to Chenyang."

"That's fine, I'll let Yuntian and Chenglin go with those brothers who can drive." Zhao Zhenzhong nodded and said.

After Li Yuntian and Liu Chenglin followed Yu Xuezhong and 25 officers and soldiers who could drive from the Linsui Garage Command to collect the cars, Yu Xuezhong and Zhao Zhenzhong chatted. During this period, it was naturally necessary to mention the Central East Road incident that occurred last year and the current tensions among all parties in the pass.

Regarding the Central East Road incident and Zhang Xueliang's actions, Zhao Zhenzhong said: "It is understandable that Young Marshal Zhang wants to regain his national rights and interests on the Central East Road. Although I don't know the specific situation, I feel that the timing of his choice is somewhat problematic. After defeating the foreign interference army to quell the domestic rebellion, the Soviet Union has become stronger in recent years, which will definitely put pressure on the Northeast border defense. However, there is not only one Russian in the Northeast, but also a Japanese."

"The Russians are greedy and the Japanese are cruel. Both of them are eyeing the Siberians. It's only been more than a year since Marshal Zhang died, and Marshal Zhang's flag has only been changing for more than half a year. It is really not the time for Northeast China to conflict with the Russians."

"I don't know anything. In the Middle East Road incident, the young marshal made Jiang from Nanjing play tricks. You and I talk to you now, so I might as well tell you what happened." Yu Xuezhong sighed, "The Middle East Road incident did not fight at the beginning, but there was a process during this period. Moreover, the Middle East Road incident occurred, and Nanjing had a lot of responsibility. It can even be said that if Jiang Zhongzheng had not participated in it, there would probably be no battle between the Middle East Road."

"In May last year, Jiang from Nanjing called the Young Marshal, saying that Feng Yuxiang organized the rebellion of the "Party and National Salvation Army" which was related to the Soviet Consulate in Harbin, and asked the Young Marshal to send someone to search the Soviet Consulate in Harbin. After receiving the telegram, the Young Marshal sent Zhang Jinghui to search the Soviet Consulate in Harbin, found some documents and information from the Communist International, and arrested some people related to the case. This can be said to be the beginning of the Central East Road incident."

"Afterward, the Soviet Union had a tough attitude and increased its troops to the Sino-Soviet border. At that time, the Northeast Army auxiliary commander Zhang Zuoxiang and others did not agree to fight with the Soviet Union, and I also reserved my attitude. However, the Shaoshou went to Peking in early July to meet with someone Jiang. After receiving Chiang's promise, he was determined to fight after returning to Chenyang. The Shaoshou said that Chiang supported him to take back the Central East Road to safeguard the rights and interests of the state, and said that Chiang said that if a war broke out, the central government would send 100,000 troops and millions of military expenditures to support the Northeast. It was precisely because of Chiang's statement that the Shaoshou returned to Chenyang and stepped up a series of arrangements."

"But when the two sides really fought, the soldiers of the Northeast Army in the front suffered heavy losses. When the young marshal asked for help from Jiang, Nanjing, Jiang, on the grounds that the rebellion of Feng Yuxiang's troops was quelling the pass, there was no soldier or a sea support. The final result, which is what everyone saw in the newspaper that the Northeast Army was defeated, and China and the Soviet Union signed a new agreement on the Central East Road."

Zhao Zhenzhong did not expect that Chiang Kai-shek had done such a thing in the Middle East Road incident. However, thinking about it, this use of a knife to kill people is the usual method of Chiang Kai-shek to eliminate dissidents and attack local forces. So he said: "Although the Northeast changed its flag at the end of the previous year to allow Nanjing to unify China in form, but looking at Chiang Kai-shek's attack on the Guangxi clique last year, he beat Feng Yuxiang and Tang Shengzhi, and this year he was seriously in opposition with Shanxi, we can know that Nanjing was just a whip over the Northeast. If Chiang Kai-shek really wanted to free up his hands, he would definitely solve the Northeast Army. Last year's Central East Road incident was just Chiang's use of the Soviets' knife to trick the Northeast Army."

"I'm right, I think so myself." Yu Xuezhong nodded, "It is precisely because of the lessons from Zhongdong Road last year and the concerns about excluding dissidents from Jiang that the young marshal ignored the win-win situation of all parties and issued a neutral telegram a few days ago, expressing his unsuccessful participation in the disputes between all parties within the customs."

"Haha, brother, all the old guys in the pass are smart and will definitely use all their strength to pull the Northeast Army into the water. If all their parties really make a fuss, who would like to see the Northeast Army rest their energy outside the pass and keep it alone? Even the Northeast Army itself will not be able to help but wait for the work and clean up the mess, right?" Zhao Zhenzhong knew what happened in history and disagreed with Zhang Xueliang's so-called neutral power supply.

"This, maybe it's possible." Yu Xuezhong said with some uncertainty.

"Brother, it's not possible. It's certain that the Northeast Army sent troops to the pass." Zhao Zhenzhong explained, "In a big way, the Northeast Army was defeated last year and is now facing pressure from the Soviet Union and Japan. If the war within the pass continues to last year, resulting in all sides being injured and the country is divided, if there is another foreign war in the Northeast in the future, it will be completely inaccessible to the aid within the pass."

"When speaking from a small perspective, waiting for work and sending troops to mediate all parties within the pass in time can also enable the Northeast Army to gain the greatest benefit. At that time, it is probably that Mr. Zhang will not agree to send troops. Faced with the win-win and differentiation of all parties within the pass, some generals of the Northeast Army may also do their own things."

After listening to Zhao Zhenzhong's analysis and thinking about the current interweaving of old and new factions in the Northeast Army, and his understanding of the qualities of some of the generals, Yu Xuezhong also nodded and admitted that what Zhao Zhenzhong said made sense.

Zhao Zhenzhong was not an exaggeration. In history, Chiang Kai-shek was willing to win over Northeast Army generals into the pass and participate in the war. He even appointed officials to make a wish to add real money and silver for Yu Xuezhong's troops stationed in Shanhaiguan. After being rejected by Yu Xuezhong, Chiang Kai-shek turned to the 213th Brigade of Yu Xuezhong's troops stationed in Linyu. Ma Tingfu, the commander of the 213th Brigade, was tempted by Chiang Kai-shek's troops to join the war. However, Yu Xuezhong learned the news and handled it in time, but he failed.

"Who thinks that between Jiang, a man from Nanjing and the anti-Cheng force in the pass, will he have the advantage in the end?" Yu Xuezhong asked.

"The snake cannot do without a head, but too much head is also a disaster. The anti-Chiang side now seems to be a lot of people, but Li Zongren of the Guangxi clan, Bai Chongxi of the Northwest Army, Feng Yuxiang of the Jinsui clan, Yan Xishan of the Jinsui clan, and those warlords of all sizes are not fuel-efficient. When the situation is unfavorable, they will unite to fight against Chiang, but when the situation improves, there will definitely be many conflicts due to interest division, distribution of food and wages. In Nanjing, only Chiang Kai-shek issued the order. Although the number of troops is not as large as that of the anti-Chiang side, it cannot withstand that he has the support of the Jiangsu and Zhejiang chaebols and is rich and powerful. Last year, Li Mingrui, Han Fuju and others were all bribed by Chiang, which led to the defeat of the Guangxi clan and the Northwest Army? Chiang Kai-shek may still do this this year." Zhao Zhenzhong analyzed, "So, it is very likely that Chiang Kai-shek in Nanjing will win in the end."

"In addition, if Young Marshal Zhang decides to send troops to the pass, my brother's troops can be on the front line of Shanhaiguan, and he will definitely be a pioneer at that time. In addition to the railway, with some automobile assistance, my brother's troops can improve their mobility a lot."

Yu Xuezhong then understood the intention of Zhao Zhenzhong giving the car, and couldn't help but say gratefully: "Brother, I'm sorry." Then Yu Xuezhong saved the issue because of the car and asked: "By the way, I remember that Huamei Company said before that it can produce cars by itself in the United States. So is it a production purchased parts assembled or manufactured by itself?"

"Huamei Company now has its own machining factory, which can produce automobile engines and accessories. By this time next year, the car will be designed and manufactured by itself. I will give some to my brother at that time." Zhao Zhenzhong said with a smile.

"Haha, if you agree, don't give it to me, your brother should not give it to me. However, Shenyang's Minsheng Factory is now designing and manufacturing cars. If you want, you can cooperate with them to make cars by yourself in China as soon as possible." Yu Xuezhong said with a smile.

"Minsheng factory? Produce cars?" Zhao Zhenzhong did not expect that Shenyang was developing cars himself.

"This Minsheng factory is the original Fengtian Mortar Factory. After the Northeast changed its flag, the factory director Li Yichun proposed to Shaoshuai to build his own truck to meet domestic needs. After the Shaoshuai agreed, he changed the Fengtian Mortar Factory to Liaoning Mortar Factory and added a civil industrial product manufacturing office, namely the Minsheng Factory. Since February last year, Shaoshuai has allocated more than 700,000 yuan as the trial production and production costs of domestic cars. He also hired American technicians to be engineers for guidance. I heard that after Liu Yifei took office as the director of the Arsenal in the three eastern provinces, he was also very interested in producing domestic cars. In addition, the two factories were close to each other and were working with Li Yichun. Now more than 200 people are busy. If you are interested, I will introduce you to him when you go to Shenyang in two days. If you can cooperate, then domestic cars can be released soon."

When Zhao Zhen heard the news about the Arsenal in the Three East Provinces, he moved in the center and said happily: "For cooperation, Huamei Company is fine. It depends on what the Minsheng Factory means. I'll ask you to worry about it at that time."

"If it can be successful, it will be beneficial to people's livelihood and beauty. Don't be polite." Yu Xuezhong waved his hand and said.

Historically, the 2.5-ton truck designed by Minsheng Factory was launched in June 1931. However, due to the inability to solve the problems of equipment, technology and raw materials in China at that time, Minsheng Factory could only entrust foreign manufacturers to process and produce engines, rear axles, electrical devices and tires and other automobile parts according to Minsheng's design drawings, and was eventually assembled and produced by Shenyang Minsheng Factory. Unfortunately, due to the "September 18th" Incident soon after, Minsheng Factory only produced this finished car. China's independent automobile industry was strangled as soon as it was in its infancy. It was already more than 20 years later that it was produced again.
