The comments of the Northwest People's Army have added some new information to the dissatisfaction of the Chinese people with the authorities. People with insight think that in this comment, the current reality is not the accusation of being labeled as a random criticism, and it is indeed reasonable. However, ordinary people who do not have much literacy and cannot figure out political, economic, military issues, etc., learned from some young students and some people entering and leaving teahouses and hotels that Wang Zhaoming, Chiang Kai-shek, and He Yingqin were all trained by the Japanese and were here to harm China. Now, it seems that the reasons for explanations have been found from the "no resistance" of the Nanjing authorities since the 18th century, the policies such as "no resistance", "first to stabilize the country before resisting foreign wars", and the failures.

Since ancient times, Chinese people have been much more interested in gossip than official statements, especially Wang, Jiang and He have indeed studied in Japan and have indeed had a good impression of Japan before, which makes the rumors more evidenced. Many people even compared the important officials of the Nanjing authorities with Qin Hui in "Shuo Yue".

In some teahouses, restaurants, and on the streets and alleys, you can often hear such low-key conversations among the people:

"Did you hear that? Those people from the Supreme Government are all traitors trained by the Japanese!"

"Well! Like Qin Hui, I went abroad and after I came back, I was fined the bad things that harmed the country and the people! Qin Hui asked the emperor to give 12 gold medals in a row to chase Grandpa Yue back, and killed Grandpa Yue. The Supreme authorities have been promoting "no resistance" since September and 18th, and transferred the 19th Army in the War of Resistance in Shanghai. This is exactly the same as Qin Hui."

...

The Nanjing authorities are not unaware of the rumors among the people and the comments in newspapers and magazines. However, except for the Central News Agency published several articles written by several imperial literati criticizing the rebellion of the "people and bandits" in the northwest, the Nanjing authorities really cannot stop the public from talking. Moreover, after the signing of the Tanggu Agreement, the situation in the north has temporarily stabilized, and the Nanjing authorities' attention has now shifted to the fifth encirclement and suppression of the CCP forces, and they have not had much energy to take into account other things.

In fact, as early as the fierce battle of the Great Wall War of Resistance, Chiang Kai-shek began to mobilize troops to prepare to encircle and suppress the Soviet area of ​​the Communist Party of China. On April 11, Chiang Kai-shek made it clear in his speech in commemorating Zhou in Nanchang: "We must first stabilize the country when resisting foreign countries! Before the bandits were wiped out, we must never say that they can resist Japan! Violators will be punished severely!"

In the month, before the Great Wall War ended, Chiang Kai-shek established a Nanchang camp in Nanchang, which fully handled military and political affairs in the five provinces of Jiangxi, Guangdong, Fujian, Hunan and Hubei, and personally organized and directed the fifth encirclement and suppression of each Soviet area on a larger scale. He also decided to adopt a new strategy of protracted warfare and fortificationism, and at the same time implemented an economic and traffic blockade on the Soviet area, with the intention of gradually compressing and destroying the Soviet area.

In order to prepare for this encirclement and suppression, Chiang Kai-shek made up his mind. After the signing of the Tanggu Agreement and the situation in the north eased, Chiang Kai-shek mobilized nearly one million troops, of which more than 500,000 troops were prepared to directly attack the Soviet area of ​​the Communist Party of China.

In this case, although Lao Jiang knew about the comments released by Northwest Radio, he was not only a little frustrated, but also made up his mind: after the north side solved Feng Yuxiang's anti-Japanese allied forces, he mobilized troops to solve the "civilian bandits" entrenched in Gan, Ning and Qing provinces.

Zhao Zhenzhong and others did not know about Lao Chiang's plan. After the Sino-Japanese armistice, Zhao Zhenzhong not only dealt with major matters in the two base areas and offshore areas, but also considered the future situation in the north. After the Tanggu Agreement was disclosed, he even stared at the map and analyzed it carefully.

In the past world, Zhao Zhenzhong had known about the Tanggu Agreement for a long time, but he did not pay much attention to the specific content of the agreement. After the library on that ship was re-activated, Zhao Zhenzhong had carefully searched for the relevant content. After checking, he was really surprised: he didn't expect the situation to be so bad! And now, when the Tanggu Agreement was disclosed, Zhao Zhenzhong still sighed at the map.

According to the agreement, the Chinese army must not only evacuate the 22 counties in eastern Hebei, but also retreat to the west and south of the line connected by Yanqing, Changping, Goryeoying, Shunyi, Tongzhou, Xianghe, Baodi, Lintingkou, Ninghe, and Lutai. The Chinese army must not cross this line in the future, but the Japanese army can "surveillance with aircraft and other methods at any time. China should protect this and provide various conveniences", which provides the opportunity for the Japanese army to launch an attack at any time. In addition, the 22 counties in eastern Hebei can maintain order by Chinese police, but these police officers "do not use force groups that stimulate the Japanese army's feelings."

From the map, Tongxian County is only more than 20 kilometers away from the Tiananmen area in Beiping City. Even if we start from the west bank of the canal controlled by the Chinese garrison, the distance to Beiping City is only about 30 kilometers. With such a distance, as long as the Japanese army breaks through the Chinese military defense line and attacks with armor, they can rush to the city of Beiping in more than half an hour! In addition, there are Japanese troops stationed in the Japanese concession in Tianjin. It can be said that the entire Pingjin area has been completely exposed to the Japanese army.

Correspondingly, the two railways of Pingjin and Pingsui are also within the attack range of the Japanese army. The closest to the Japanese army is the road section near Tianjin, which is only a few kilometers away from the Japanese army in the Japanese concession. In addition, from Tianjin to Yanqing, the east side of the railway line is only a few dozen kilometers away from the Japanese army's control range, and they also face serious threats from the Japanese army.

Looking at the situation between Japan and Japan marked on the map, Zhao Zhenzhong sighed silently. This is the beginning. When the Japanese army is in a year or two, the situation will be even worse when they plan to North China. It is even impossible for the Japanese army to launch an early attack on the Pingjin area. In order to speed up the delivery of materials to the northwest, it is time to adjust railway transportation.

By the summer of 1933, Huamei Company had a total of 6 trucks running between Tianjin and Baode. Among them, every morning and evening in Tianjin, one truck was driven out in each of Baode, and the other two were in standby state. Among these 6 locomotives, only two were diesel internal diesel locomotives, and the other four were coal-burning steam locomotives.

From the freight volume and train operation cost of Pingjin and Pingsui Railway in this era, since diesel needs to be imported, coal-burning trucks are obviously economical than diesel trucks. However, in terms of the efficiency of transporting materials, steam locomotives are obviously not as efficient as diesel internal diesel internal diesel locomotives. In terms of traction, although the difference between current steam locomotives and diesel internal diesel locomotives is not very large, it takes a lot of time to add coal and water to the locomotives. A steam locomotive, an average of 10 kilometers requires 3 to 4 tons of water. After a diesel internal diesel locomotives add hundreds of kilograms of water at a time, as long as the oil is sufficient, they can travel thousands of kilometers without stopping. Now the speed of the train to be traction by diesel internal diesel locomotives can reach 6 or 70 kilometers. If internal diesel locomotives are used, the efficiency of material transportation between Tianjin and Baode will be at least doubled.

After making up his mind, Zhao Zhenzhong telegraphed Tang Ming by Zhou Tian on June 10 that he asked him to purchase four more high-power diesel locomotives in the United States for material transportation between Tianjin and Baode.

Then, Zhao Zhenzhong asked Li Yuntian, who was in Taiyuan, to communicate with Shanxi, and asked the newly established Tongpu Railway Co., Ltd. and the Shanxi authorities to coordinate with the road bureaus of Peking, Tianjin and other departments to prepare in advance for the opening of a truck direct to Datong in Tianjin.

Yan Xishan was initially surprised after receiving the report from his subordinates. Why was Huamei Company doing direct transportation between Tianjin and Datong at all costs? Thinking about the fact that the Shanxi Provincial Government would come forward, Yan Xishan sent someone to find Xu Yongchang, handed over the relevant situation report, and asked: "Cichen, what do you mean by Zhao Zhenzhong and Huamei Company doing direct transportation?"

Unlike Yan Xishan who likes to do everything, Xu Yongchang likes to let go of his appointment after clarifying the respective responsibilities of his subordinates. Therefore, although Xu Yongchang is the chairman of Shanxi Province, his grasp of some specific things is not as clear as Yan Xishan.

Xu Yongchang took the report from Tongpu Railway Co., Ltd. and asked the Shanxi authorities to coordinate with Pingjin. After looking at the report from Pingsui Road section, he pondered for a moment and said with a smile: "I guess it was the last time that the carjacking incident in Zhangjiakou made the child surnamed Zhao angry. Now, although the truck passes by Zhangjiakou every day, it is okay to stop the station and add water, but it still depends on the faces of the soldiers. I can make a direct transportation and go directly from Tianjin to Datong, and I can ignore those people."

After pausing, Xu Yongchang said again: "Although Zhao Zhenzhong is young, he has the idea of ​​saving the country in real life. He can think of the people and should not be underestimated. However, such people are generally a bit arrogant. After the carjacking incident, it is reasonable to get a truck directly to him."

Xu Yongchang's this probably matches the temperament of a young man, and Yan Xishan felt relieved after hearing this.

"Many friends and many roads, like us, aren't they good to cooperate with Huamei? Everyone is happy. Feng Huanzhang insists on taking the initiative, but he didn't get the benefits, but he ended up being in a bad mood." Yan Xishan smiled, but his words revealed a stigma of gloating, "Since this is the reason, you can deal with it this time. Anyway, this is also a favorable thing for Shanxi and Suiyuan."

Yan Xishan naturally would not let go of the things that could increase the strength of Shanxi and Suiyuan provinces and consolidate their own status. In a good mood, Yan Xishan smiled and said, "If you really want to get direct trucks, I'm afraid that Suiyuan will not have so many goods to transport from the outside in Shanxi."

"Then let's speed up the construction." Xu Yongchang also laughed, "As for direct trucks, this should not be difficult. Since Huamei wants to introduce direct diesel locomotives, there is no need to add water or coal on the way, and it is completely fine to start the business at night."

In the early 1930s, most trains were run during the day. The reason why trains were less open at night was not only guarding against the defeated bandits everywhere after the Central Plains War, but also because of insufficient electricity and manpower at that time. Not all stations along the railway could have sufficient electricity at night, and there were sufficient manpower to add coal and water to pass the train.

But since Huamei Company has spared no expense and introduced diesel internal diesel locomotives that do not need to stop and add coal or water in the middle of the journey, it will be no problem to start at night. Moreover, using diesel internal diesel locomotives can not only increase the transportation capacity of Pingjin and Tongpu railways, increase railway revenue, but also do not conflict with the train number during the day, so there is no reason for the relevant sections to agree.

In this way, after Tongpu Railway Company and Shanxi authorities came forward to clear the situation, the matter of opening a direct truck between Tianjin and Datong was quickly arranged, and the diesel locomotive was scheduled to be opened on time after it was in place on July 20.

After solving the railway transportation matters, Zhao Zhenzhong reached an agreement with Jing Yuexiu and Li Yizhi of Shaanxi in mid-June on the transfer of some idle construction machinery of Huamei Company and the Dingbian Cement Plant. Huamei Company will transfer 120 construction machinery including bulldozers, excavators, and load trucks, as well as the Dingbian Cement Plant to the Shaanxi Construction Company under the Shaanxi Construction Department for a price of 1 million.

In addition to the 400,000 stake in the provincial government, Shaanxi Construction Company also raised 850,000 stake in the province. In addition to purchasing the assets transferred by Huamei Company, there are 250,000 stakes as startup capital. Of course, Huamei Company is responsible for training enough engineering machinery operators for Shaanxi Construction Company within two months, and in the future, it will provide the company with diesel, gasoline used for vehicles, and one year of free repairs for vehicles at a reasonable price. All of this seems to be pretty good.

After dealing with these things, Zhao Zhenzhong was distracted by three things: while paying attention to the situation of Feng Yuxiang's anti-Japanese alliance army, while paying attention to the return of overseas students and motorcycles, while also focusing most of the attention on the construction of the northwest base...
