After returning to the marshal's residence that afternoon, Liu Zheng went straight to Liu Xiang's residence.
"Zheng 'er, is this true?"
"Father, your son is absolutely not lying!”
"Alright, alright! Oil fields, oil, with them, our Sichuan army can have tanks, planes, and warships! "Zheng 'er, no matter how big the price is, you must ensure that this batch of talents arrive safely in our Rong City. When the time comes, I will personally meet them…"
The reason why Liu Zheng told Liu Xiang about the upcoming oil and natural gas exploitation was mainly because he hoped that he would set off with a beautiful vision.
"Father, regarding the road construction, your son wants to bypass Baldy Jiang and talk directly to the head of Yunzhou, Long Deng. What do you think?”
"Baldy Jiang? This scammer! Long Deng was benevolent. In order to respond to the joint resistance, he took the initiative to surrender to Jiang Bald Head. Yunzhou can't be compared to our Shu. The population is at most 9 million, and the military strength is at most an army. Although Baldy Jiang has already controlled most of the real power in Yunzhou, he can't cause any waves in the short term…"
At this point, Liu Xiang, who was in high spirits, took the initiative to walk to the phone with his walking stick.
"I'm Liu Xiang. Get me the head of Yunzhou, Long Deng…"
A short while later, a voice came from the other end of the phone.
"Hello? Is it Liu Xiang?"
"Wait for me. My son wants to talk to you…"
After saying that concisely, Liu Xiang put down the phone in his hand.
"Uncle Long, my nephew Liu Zheng has disturbed our night break…"
"Liu Zheng? Tell me, why are you looking for me?"
Liu Xiang and Long Deng knew each other, but they didn't have much friendship, let alone friendship.
Liu Zheng addressed himself as 'nephew', which was the traditional etiquette of the younger generation.
"Uncle Long, I'm preparing to build and expand the Sichuan-Yunnan highway. As the project advances, I'll need your support…"
After Liu Zheng finished talking about the main topic, Long Deng did not reply immediately. After thinking for a while, he said,""What do you think about Old Jiang's so-called joint resistance?”
"If I don't lose, it's embarrassing!"
After Liu Xiang finished shouting, Liu Zheng laughed and said,"Uncle Long, nephew wants to win the war. The hundreds of thousands of men in the Sichuan army want to win the war.”
"Damn it, you and your son are really crooked! Eh? It's good to have ambition, but the Japanese invaders are strong. There's no chance of winning if we fight them one-on-one. Instead, we lost all our assets in the end…"
Long Deng's underlying meaning was that he still hoped that Liu Xiang and Liu Zheng would temporarily put aside their prejudice against Baldy Jiang and then unite to resist the war.
Without waiting for Liu Zheng's reply, Liu Xiang suddenly snatched the phone.
"Long Deng, the older you get, the less ambition you have! Today, I'll make it clear to you. As long as you think about the Sichuan Army and the Chinese people, no matter how many people there are in the Yunnan Army, I'll take care of all your weapons and equipment in the next three years. Moreover, the performance of your weapons will only be stronger than that of the Central Army!”
Liu Xiang would never make groundless rumors, and he would never make promises to others for no reason!
Even though Liu Xiang did not explain it clearly, Long Deng had understood some information.
"Liu Xiang, your Sichuan Army hasn't made any big moves recently, right? Could it be that your confidence comes from the Eighth Army that your son established?”
"What a joke! You have to know that Baldy Jiang would suffer from insomnia every night. Long Deng, you and I can be considered old acquaintances. You have the determination to fight, and I don't lose to you in the slightest! Instead of letting your Dian Army men be killed by Baldy Jiang, why don't you and my family join forces to defeat the invaders…"
After Liu Xiang and Long Deng chatted intermittently for 30 minutes, Liu Zheng picked up the phone again.
"Liu Zheng, Old Jiang has occupied the mountain city and has nearly 500,000 central troops under his command. There are about 800,000 national troops stationed in the land of Sanqin. Although they can't leave for the time being, once the situation fluctuates, Shu City will definitely be attacked from several sides. Moreover, you will have to face the siege of a million troops…Under such circumstances, what will your Sichuan army do?”
"Uncle Long, I personally don't want a civil war. If Baldy Jiang is tactful, I think he will take the initiative to leave the mountain city after he sees the true strength of the Sichuan army. Then, he will move the capital to the land of Sanqin again…"
"Are you that confident?"
"Baldy Jiang must leave in two years at most!”
"Haha, I really don't know if you're young and frivolous, or if you're brave and resourceful? How about this, I'll be careful. You, Lu Zhaoxiu, but Old Jiang needs a reasonable excuse. After all, your Sichuan Army is not ready to fall out with him…"
Liu Zheng wanted Long Deng to be careful.
As long as Long Deng was careful, this meant that the Dian Army wouldn't be used by Baldy Jiang.
This way, Liu Zheng could also free up time to play with Baldy Jiang.
The mountain city was a good place, but the Japanese invaders had already started the 'Great Bombardment Plan'.
As long as there was chaos internally, Baldy Jiang would be like a frightened bird and leave the mountain city on his own accord.
Liu Zheng needed a gun, a gun that could directly hit Baldy Jiang's heart!
"Father, among Baldy Jiang's trusted subordinates, who do you think is most likely to turn against us?”
"Zheng 'er, are you trying to instigate a rebellion?"
"If a civil war breaks out, our Sichuan Army will suffer many unnecessary casualties. Once the southwest is in turmoil, the invaders from Japan will definitely seize this opportunity to attack, so I want to force Baldy Jiang away.”
Liu Zheng's idea shocked Liu Xiang, but at the same time, he secretly praised him.
"With a large army? Another confidant? Sigh, I got it!"
"Father, what are you talking about?"
"In my opinion, he should be kept in a pigsty…"
"You mean Liu Zhi?"
" They're all surnamed Liu. Perhaps they were still a family five hundred years ago, but not only did this guy have connections, but he actually 'remotely' commanded on the battlefield as a soldier. He was afraid of death! Zheng 'er, this person is not worth worrying about. The key is his subordinate Du Yiming. As long as Liu Zhi rebels, our Sichuan army will have another fierce general!”
Liu Zheng had heard of Du Yiming before. This person was capable of both literature and martial arts. He was a talented general.
In the recent wars on Earth, Du Yiming's only defeat was when he attacked Savage Mountain during his expedition to Myanmar.
Liu Zhi was afraid of death and loved fame and fortune. As long as he saw the strength of the Sichuan army and promised him generous treatment, it would not be difficult to persuade him to defect.
Once Liu Zhi rebelled, Liu Zheng would lead the Sichuan Army to close in. Under the cooperation from the inside and outside, Baldy Jiang would most likely give up the mountain city and go to Sanqin.
When he gave up the capital, Jinling, Baldy Jiang's favorite companion was not the mountain city, but the land of Sanqin.
Due to many reasons, Baldy Jiang was forced to come to the mountain city in the end.
