"This is a telegram sent to us by the coalition government. Let's discuss it..." Yan Xishan took out a telegram sent by Tu Menghu in the conference room of Taiyuan, Shaanxi and handed it to the commanders of the three armies under his command. [...]

He was a little confused about this matter. According to Yan Baichuan's idea, his best way was to not be left or right or sway. Everything depends on the situation. Protecting the interests of the King of Shanxi is the minimum requirement.

Yang Aiyuan, commander-in-chief of the Sixth Army, frowned and read it, and handed it to Fu Zuoyi, commander-in-chief of the Seventh Army beside him without saying a word. After reading it, Fu Zuoyi's face was complicated and handed it to Sun Chu, commander-in-chief of the Eighteenth Army sitting opposite him.

In history, Sun Chu was also Yan Xishan's favorite general, and his position was deputy commander of the Sixth Army and commander of the 33rd Army. However, in this time and space, because Chi Se did not form troops with the National Government, Sun Chu became the commander of the 18th Army.

"Commander-in-Chief... This matter is not easy to deal with!" Yang Aiyuan said to Yan Xishan hesitantly.

"If we go to fight the Japanese, what if the National Defense Forces do not provide support and consume our troops?! But it won't be possible if we don't go. The Huhu Tu waved his big stick to do this. If we don't go, he can use this as an excuse to trouble us..."

As he said that, Yang Aiyuan stood up, pointed to the map in the conference room with a baton and said: "There are troops of the National Defense Forces in the front line of Xi'an and Baoding. If we really go against this tiger..."

Yang Aiyuan didn't say the following words, but everyone knew in their hearts: if you bet a rabbit, this tiger could completely kill the Jinsui army and the Japanese army.

The Japanese army in Baoding had been repelled and now retreated to Dezhou in a panic. Now the National Defense Forces are attacking Dezhou, and the Xi'an troops have also left Shaanxi. The Baoding troops have not moved.

Obviously, this is waiting for Yan Xishan's actions! Even if the Japanese army did not attack Henan, this tiger would probably call to put pressure on the Jinsui army.

"I think I'd better go to Henan to fight..." Fu Zuoyi said with a wry smile: "In terms of negotiations, the Commander-in-Chief sent someone to the imperial capital to discuss with Chairman Lin of the coalition government. Chairman Lin will not be as difficult as the tiger, right?!"

After hearing this, Yan Laoxi nodded and then looked at Sun Chu.

"That's what I mean." Sun Chudun paused and said to Yan Xishan: "Commander-in-Chief, our strength is not as strong as others now! Moreover, the matter of the War of Resistance is related to the affairs of the whole country and the nation. If we retreat, we will lose our righteousness. At that time, the brothers in the army will inevitably be disloyal..."

This is true. Since the beginning of the Anti-Japanese War, the middle and lower-level officers within the Jinsui Army were more determined than the higher-level officers. Therefore, what Sun Chu said was the truth. If Yan Xishan really defected to the Japanese army or Wang Zhaoming, many middle and lower-level officers of the former Jinsui Army might have to be deserters.

"Do you have no other opinion?" Yan Xishan gritted his teeth for a long time and still felt unwilling to accept it. He has always been a powerful figure from Beiyang to the Republic of China. What is the qualification to kill tigers?!

Back then, he was just a small battalion commander under the Fengtian Division, but now he is going to order himself. How can this be favored?!

"The Commander-in-Chief, now he is better than others. This tiger is a person who even Chiang Kai-shek avoids three points. Why should we touch his bad temper?!" Zhao Daiwen persuaded his proprietor with great sincerity.

This is also what Zhao Daiwen thought after receiving the telegram. But Zhao Daiwen knew that his boss was, and if he hadn't forced him to have no choice, he would definitely not have accepted the conditions for slaughtering the tiger.

Therefore, at the beginning, Zhao Daiwen did not express his opinion directly. Instead, he finally made suggestions to Yan Xishan after several generals in the Jinsui Army had finished speaking.

"We are now the meat on the chopping board. Either do as the tiger says. Or he beats the rabbit and fights us with the Japanese army..." Zhao Daiwen said with a wry smile: "I don't think the troops in Xi'an and the troops in Baoding are just targeting the Japanese army. I'm afraid they are also looking at our Jinsui Army. If we haven't done anything yet, I guess they will treat us as Wang Zhaoming..."

"They dare!!" Yan Xishan suddenly became furious. He stared at Zhao Daiwen and said, "I, Yan Baichuan, is also the commander of the war zone of the former State Government. Who dares to use force against me easily?!"

"But first, we did not send a power to the coalition government, and secondly, we did not follow the strategy of the coalition government in the anti-Japanese situation." Zhao Daiwen was very patient and explained to Yan Xishan: "They have occupied the righteousness of these two points. The rest is to defeat us as quickly as possible, and then turn Shanxi into the territory of the coalition government..."

When Zhao Daiwen finished speaking, Yan Xishan looked pale. He obviously thought of the open plots and movements behind the power-up. There was a glimmer of hope. Otherwise, the National Defense Force would rush over with the force of Mount Tai without hesitation. The tiger obviously did not want anyone behind him to be half-hearted.

What's even more terrifying is that he has the strength to crush the entire Jinsui Army! Although Zhao Daiwen did not say this sentence due to Yan Xishan's face, Yan Xishan obviously came to his senses!

He was not facing Chiang-Zhishen's Central Army, but a national defense force with millions of fighting against the Soviet Union and Japan, and its military equipment included a large number of heavy artillery, tanks and fighter jets!

Zhao Daiwen's words became the last straw that broke Yan Xishan. Yan Xishan was directly hit by Zhao Daiwen's naked analysis. He suddenly became depressed.

"Chilong... I'll leave this matter to you..." Yan Xishan seemed to have grown up countless years at this moment. How could he not know that the National Defense Forces are not politicians like Chiang Chiang who can fool and compromise?

When the strengths are very different, the status of both sides is completely unequal. On the surface, everyone talks about "equality", but in fact, except for being too naive and idiots, they all know that true equality cannot exist.

Bill Gates can have tens of billions of wealth, while the United States still has unemployed people sleeping on the streets. Is this equality?! Germans enjoy various government benefits in their own homes, while at the same time, people in Villa die in war every day. Most Libyans are forced to flee their homes and become refugees, or are in a state of disgrace. Is this equality?!

In the O’Hakus bodyguard’s suitcase, there is a button that can operate a nuclear bomb. Many unemployed people in the United States don’t even have extra shoes. Is this equal?!

Equality always exists relative rather than absolute, which is an objective fact. Those who constantly hype equality can only be said to be showing off their concepts and have ulterior motives.

Now Yan Xishan knows that there is absolutely inequality between him and the National Defense Force. The National Defense Force has millions of troops, and its weapons include heavy artillery of one caliber, a large number of tanks, fighters and bombers!

To put it bluntly, those national defense forces, like wolves and tigers, can crush the offensive of the North China Front Army, so it is not much more difficult to crush a local warlord unit with only more than 300,000 yuan.

"Yisheng, Xingru, you two are leading the sixth and the seventh army to set off now. Your goal is to block the attack of the Japanese Central China Front Army in Zhengzhou and Kaifeng."

Yan Xishan, who calmed down, immediately ordered everyone that he was also an old man in the officialdom. Naturally, he knew what he should do when facing a force that was countless times stronger than him. That was - show loyalty!

He was hesitating before, after all, the Japanese army was still far away at that time. Yan Laoxi's idea was to wait for the coalition government to win over him, or to wait for a price between the Japanese army and the coalition government.

Anyway, if you cut the tofu with a knife, Yan Laoxi will not easily turn to either side. He will not easily offend any side, and ensure that the position of the King of Shanxi is the most important. The remaining ones can provide some material and military support to the War of Resistance, which is considered to be dedicated.

But what he didn't expect was that the Japanese were drawn to Texas in a few seconds. Even Baoding abandoned them. The tiger did not talk about any political rules at all. He came up with a knife and a gun and stared at you and asked: "Follow me and him?"

This directly left Yan Laoxi without even a place to dodge, either being killed by the coveted National Defense Forces or sending someone to fight the Japanese.

The two powers were at a disadvantage, so Yan Laoxi chose to fight against the Japanese. After all, the National Defense Forces were behind him, which was really too threatening. Fighting with the Japanese was also in Henan, and if it was broken, it would not be his territory in Shanxi.

"Yisheng, Xingru! You are going this time on behalf of our Jinsui Army. This battle cannot lose the face of our Jinsui Army!" Yan Laoxi understood that it would be impossible to fight.

Since you have to fight, it’s better to fight! At least you still have some capital to talk in the future.

"Don't worry, Commander-in-Chief! Since it is the battlefield of the Anti-Japanese War, we naturally dare not neglect the national and national wars!" Fu Zuoyi stood up excitedly and said loudly, while Yang Aiyuan also stood up and said.

"Don't worry, Commander-in-Chief! We will never fall into the Jinsui Army's brand!"

If the tigers were slaughtered here, I would definitely laugh. The Jinsui Army was not a strong army in various warlords. Except for Fu Zuoyi's record, the rest were really not worth mentioning. After several wars, the Jinsui Army really had no record that was deeply rooted in the hearts of the people.

"Shilong, this time I will try my best to fight for our Jinsui Army." Yan Xishan was silent for a long time and whispered to Zhao Daiwen: "Don't let our Jinsui Army... just disperse..."
