Although the situation in the Republic of China was relatively calm with Japan, the Republic of China had been full of war. The red regime, which had been rooted in Jiangxi for many years, finally suffered a great military defeat due to Wang Ming, Bo Gu, and the Soviet Union's obscene command. The rapid expansion of momentum came to an abrupt end. The strategic migration of Chairman Chiang's troops began to chase the Red Army all the way to chase westward, and the military power of the direct descendants of Nanjing quickly spread to the southwest.

Due to years of military disasters, coupled with drought, famine caused by natural and man-made disasters has exceeded the imagination of later generations, and millions of people fell into the dilemma of hunger and food. The situation in Shaanxi was slightly better, and Henan's disaster was second only to Sichuan. Countless refugees flocked to the northwest, which had been peaceful for several years. Jiang Li's funds originally used to reserve grain were exhausted and had to use large amounts of funds originally used for construction to buy food and provide relief to the victims. The northwest is vast. Although the population density has not increased much, these migrant populations are extremely cheap labor. As long as there is a living food, these people can contribute their strength.

In order to meet the driving force for the development of the northwest, Jiang Li built five large and medium-sized hydropower stations in the Yellow River in one breath, and more than 20 thermal power stations of varying sizes in Lanzhou and Yinchuan. The other two steel plant equipment, ranging from about 30,000 tons and 60,000 tons, settled near the newly discovered small iron ore in northern Sichuan. The original Longhai Road, Lanxi Road, Lanzhou to Dihua, and Yinchuan sections of railways have derived a large number of branches, and the construction of the highway has also been pushed to a new peak. The hungry people who flocked to the northwest were getting hungry rations. Large-scale famine is the grain reserves for the northwest.

In a major test, Jiang Li had to buy food from Southeast Asia, the United States and other places thousands of miles away. The grain transport teams flocked to the northwest from all over the place continued. It was these extremely cheap laborers that laid the most solid foundation for the infrastructure construction in the northwest. The large-scale projects that usually cost a huge price to promote were quickly rolled out because the joining of these hungry people could be seen everywhere in the northwest ground. There were always some young engineers, apprentices, students around them, and a busy group of workers.

Compared with these sensational construction scenarios, the military reform and expansion of the 15th Route Army was also in full swing. Relying on the continuous remittance of funds from all over the United States, the original mixed brigade was directly adapted into a division, and the temporary brigade was organized into a formal brigade. With two directly expanded divisions, the 15th Route Army expanded into 16 infantry divisions, 5 infantry brigades, 3 cavalry brigades, armored soldiers, special forces, and aviation brigades in one go.

The expansion of the degree. All the troops were filled with a large number of new recruits. The combat power of the 15th Route Army had a significant decrease due to the filling of new recruits, and the equipment of artillery was seriously insufficient. However, the total force was expanded to nearly 300,000 people in one breath. Even if it was not moved in the northwest, it was a giant. Although there were many fine actions sent by Japan to the northwest, it was never expected that Jiang Li would expand his troops to such a level in a short period of time.

"Since you entered the northwest, you have been working every step, and you rarely see such radical times." Huang Xiansheng and Jiang Li and others walked on the green Yellow River embankment, overlooking the crowd at the trimming pier.

"The Soviet Union's first five-year plan for industry and military development has been greatly developed. Since Inukai's assassination, Japan's militarist forces have risen and its investment in military affairs has increased day by day. This time, the expansion of the army to such a scale in one breath is also taking advantage of the fact that Japan has not made any big moves. In one or two years, the recruits who entered the army can almost be trained to become veterans. Japan is also accumulating its strength now. I cannot let a group of recruits fight against the Japanese. The pace of expanding the army in the next two years will not be small." Jiang Li nodded, "Although the strength may not be as large as this year, it is much higher than before. At least seven divisions will be expanded in the next two years."

"This time the expansion of the army is relatively strong, and the production speed of the arsenal can keep up. Now the 15th Army has become a wing. It is sitting in the northwest and is no longer afraid of Nanjing. Now the red regime is in danger and is surrounded and intercepted by the Central Army. If you are not careful, you will be worried about the entire army being wiped out. Please ask the commander to lend a helping hand." Liu Lanbo said almost in a pleading tone at this time.

"Congwen, the situation of the Red * Army is indeed critical now. Do you see if you provide some help at this time?" Huang Xiansheng also frowned.

"This is the peak of the construction of the northwest. The machinery of hundreds of millions of dollars is constantly transporting from the east to the west. If it violates the taboo of Nanjing, send troops directly. The hundreds of millions of dollars will be wasted. There is no guarantee of the war of resistance in the future." Jiang Li felt a little tricky, "Let's do this, send someone to send a sum of funds to the Red Army. I will send someone to bring money to establish some relationships and make the Red Army retreat more smoothly."

"The Red * Army retreated all the way west, far away from the 15th Army, traveling through mountains and rivers, and still passing through the territory of so many people, it is unrealistic to directly send troops to help. Money can make the devil push the mill, which is a safe move." Huang Xian nodded and agreed with Jiang Li's approach. In the Republic of China, money was sometimes better than swords and guns.

Jiang Li himself has no disgust with the Red regime. The Red Army that can go through hardships and obstacles to complete the Long March is undoubtedly elite. If it has weapons and equipment in Northwest, it is also a strong brigade of the War of Resistance. However, in Jiang Li's eyes, the significance of the Red Army is far more than that. Previously, due to the large-scale introduction of technology and equipment, the Northwest has always been close to the United States and Germany. The lack of close cooperation has led to the fact that the relationship with the Soviet Union cannot be improved. The arrival of the Red Army is to control Sichuan while the merger with the Northwest and the Red Army also has a certain Soviet gene. Under the shadow of the Soviet Union, it can get more support from the Soviet Union during the War of Resistance. Otherwise, with the strength of the Soviet Union, it will definitely not be able to sit idly by and look forward to a strong pro-American or pro-German regime in the Far East. If the Northwest performed strong enough on the battlefield, the Soviet Union might even secretly become secretly.
