I am Jiang Weiguo in World War II

Chapter 378 A New Beginning (1)

Jiang Weiguo fell asleep for three days and three nights before getting up to deal with official duties. This time, he slept almost in darkness, with the sun and the moon turned upside down. When he woke up, he felt as if he had passed away. Everything in front of him felt unreal. , There is a feeling of nothingness like a dream.

Jiang Weiguo knew why he had to take a big nap. There were two reasons. One was that he was really too tired. In the year before the war of resistance and the year after the outbreak of the war of resistance, he had never been idle at all, and he had worked so hard for the country. He was exhausted physically and mentally from the exhaustion and painstaking effort. At this moment, he relaxed completely, both physically and mentally. The second reason was more complicated and subtle, and it came from a kind of escape in his heart.

The Sino-Japanese peace talks and armistice made Jiang Weiguo suddenly bewildered and flustered after the dust settled.

"Damn it! Is it really a peace? Is it really a truce?" After learning that the treaty was signed, Jiang Weiguo's first thought was like this.

Jiang Weiguo clearly remembers: In the original history, China and Japan fought from July 1937, 7 to August 7, 1945, although there were also incidents such as private negotiations between China and Japan, and Germany's mediation. , but there were no results due to various reasons (the biggest reason is that the high-level Japanese government is not forgiving, and the conditions offered are too harsh. In addition, the National Government and Japan’s peace talks and armistice cannot be said to be traitorous, because China and Japan were involved in the Pearl Harbor incident. Before the outbreak, they did not declare war on each other, and what happened between the two countries was only an "armed conflict"), but now, the Sino-Japanese peace talks have become a reality, and the two countries have indeed stopped fighting.

With such a major change in history, the "culprit" is naturally Jiang Weiguo.

Faced with this brand new situation arising from his interference in history, Jiang Weiguo had to panic. He was very panicked. First, is the Sino-Japanese peace talks a good thing or a big bad thing?Second, China and Japan negotiate a peace and armistice, and then what?what's next?Where is the next road for China?

When Jiang Weiguo woke up, his ears were filled with the deafening sound of firecrackers. The three towns of Wuhan were immersed in a warm and exciting atmosphere of celebration. Fireworks in the city, the whole city is not at night, and the waves are brilliant. On the streets and alleys, there are long dragon-like parades everywhere. The joyous crowds carry a large portrait of Chiang Kai-shek, and hold high the words "Celebrate the Victory of the National Army", "Long Live the Generalissimo Chiang", and "China Long live the nation" slogan and banner, beating gongs and drums, singing and dancing, the sound of people, the flow of people like weaving, the traffic in the whole city was completely paralyzed.

In fact, it's not just Wuhan, Chongqing, Chengdu, Changsha, Kunming, Guangzhou, Fuzhou, Xi'an, Zhengzhou and many other major cities in the Kuomintang-controlled areas are holding New Year's celebrations in full swing.

Jiang Weiguo is well aware that these celebrations can be divided into two types, one is spontaneously organized by non-governmental groups from all walks of life, and the other is organized by the relevant departments of the National Government, and many of the former are supported by the National Government. Support from relevant departments.

Why did the national government do this?Because after the news of the Sino-Japanese peace talks and armistice spread, some people in the country were celebrating, while others were yelling at the Nationalist government for "cedeing land for peace, forfeiting power and humiliating the country", and criticizing the "Peacemakers" in the Nationalist government as all people in the country can kill The traitors demanded that the War of Resistance be fought to the end until it was fully won, and the so-called "comprehensive victory" meant at least the recovery of all lost lands, including the four northeastern provinces.

Those who scolded were not only folk literati, democrats, and passionate patriots, but also Chiang Kai-shek's political opponents in the Kuomintang and the National Government, as well as powerful figures and local warlords.

It can be said that the truce between the Nationalist government and Japan was "shocking, with mixed reputations." opposition forces.

Is China the winner?It's not easy to say, but since he claims to be a winner, he must act like a winner.

On the other hand, the Japanese government also hypes up the "great victory of the imperial army" in the country.

Both China and Japan claimed to be victors, which reminded Jiang Weiguo of the "Iran-Iraq War" in history. Iraq and Iran broke out in a full-scale war from September 1980 to August 9, and fought for eight years (also eight years). years), the two countries ended up losing both sides, with a total of 1988 million deaths and a loss of 8 billion U.S. dollars, but at the end of the war, both countries boasted that their country was the winner, thus deceiving themselves (mainly to deceive their own domestic people, to maintain their own regime stability).

No matter how he looked at it, Jiang Weiguo felt that the situation of China and Japan at this time was exactly the same as that of Iran and Iran.

Standing in front of the map of China on the wall, Jiang Weiguo fell into deep thought.

Is China the winner of this war?It seems not.

Before the September 180th Incident, China had been taken by Japan from the Taiwan Islands, as well as the southern part of Sakhalin Island (Sakhalin Island was divided by the Soviet Union and Japan at this time, the northern part was the territory of the Soviet Union, and the southern part was Japanese territory), as well as the Ryukyu Islands and North Korea. Peninsula; after the September 7200th Incident, China was taken away by Japan in four northeastern provinces, Liaoning, Jilin, Heilongjiang, and Rehe; since the July [-]th Incident, China has been taken away by Japan in Hebei Province and Chahar Province , Suiyuan Province, Shanghai City, Beiping City, and Tianjin City, a total of three provinces and three cities, plus Northeast China and Taiwan, China has been taken away by Japan. Page Island was first occupied by the entire territory of Soviet Russia, and then half of it was snatched away by Japan. The total area of ​​the above eight provinces and three cities is about [-] million square kilometers, and the total population is about [-] million. The loss cannot but be said to be heavy. The most serious thing is that the four northeastern provinces are China's resource bases, industrial bases, and agricultural bases. Beiping is the ancient capital of the Republic of China and the political center of the north. Tianjin is the largest port in the north. Chahar Province and Suiyuan Province are also rich in products and resources.

The loss of so many high-value lands had to make Jiang Weiguo feel deeply regretted and ashamed.

Regret is regret, shame is shame. Although Jiang Weiguo disdains self-comfort, he also admits that this kind of truce is indeed good for China. First of all, Jiangsu, Zhejiang, Shandong, and Shanxi provinces have been completely recovered. , of these four provinces, two-thirds of Jiangsu has been occupied, Zhejiang has been occupied by one-quarter, Shanxi has been occupied by three-quarters, Shandong Province has been occupied by nine-tenths, and the combined area of ​​the occupied areas of the four provinces has reached 30 Isn't it a great thing to regain the land without bloodshed through negotiations?Seriously, if the Japanese army turned from offensive to defensive in an all-round way and launched a strategic defense, it would not be a matter of overnight for the national army to regain these occupied areas.

It must be admitted that this is a major gain, a major victory, a major success.

It is particularly worth mentioning that between Shanghai and Shanxi Province, Jiang Weiguo fully supported the choice of Shanxi Province, because Shanxi is a resource-rich province, and China, which has already lost its northeast, cannot lose Shanxi; secondly, under the mediation of Germany, The Japanese agreed to transfer 15% of the annual fiscal revenue of the four northeastern provinces and 30% of the annual fiscal revenue of the three provinces and three cities that had just been occupied to the national government, recovering economic losses to a certain extent.

In addition, there is a very important content in the Sino-Japanese Armistice Treaty: "When Japan acquires new land through German-Chinese-Japanese cooperation, it will return all the occupied areas in China to China."

The meaning of this paragraph is very intriguing, that is to say: if China is willing to form an alliance with Germany and Japan in the future, and jointly start a war against the United States, Britain, France and the Soviet Union, China can exchange the land of a third country acquired in the war with Japan for Japan’s occupied areas in China , This has preserved a peaceful channel for China to regain three provinces, three cities and four northeastern provinces without bloodshed.

Of course, the content of this paragraph is very complicated, because it involves many areas that need to be improved. For example, if China seized a large area of ​​​​Siberia from the Soviet Union and wanted to exchange it with the Japanese for the four northeastern provinces, the Japanese would definitely not do it. , the four northeastern provinces are rich and developed, while Siberia is a no-man's land where birds don't shit. The Japanese are definitely unwilling.

After the Sino-Japanese peace talks and armistice, the new situation between China and Japan is very similar to the Song and Liao countries in history (Japan occupied Northeast China and large areas of North China).

Jiang Weiguo remembered that Song and Liao fought to the death at the beginning. The war lasted for more than 40 years, and later they also negotiated a peace and truce, which is the famous "Chanyuan Alliance". According to the Chanyuan Alliance, Song must give Liao every year 30 taels of silver and 20 bolts of silk.

It seems that this Chanyuan alliance is a manifestation of Song State's "losing power and humiliating the country", but in fact, Song State has benefited a lot, because the annual currency expenditure is only one percent of the war military expenditure, and the Song State's annual currency expenditure is not bad. Earn back through foreign trade (Song's trade is far more developed than Liao's, so after the two sides concluded the Chanyuan alliance, Liao's money was lost instead, because Liao was made a lot of money by Song in the Song-Liao trade, and Liao's The money earned by the Song State every year far exceeds the annual coins paid by the Song State to the Liao State), however, this Chanyuan alliance has brought a major hidden danger to both Song and Liao, that is, as the two countries shake hands and make peace, Both countries were "born in sorrow and died in peace", and since then they have been content with the status quo and abandoned their military. As a result, Song State has no intention of fighting and no longer wants to recover the sixteen prefectures of Yanyun occupied by Liao State. The Jurchens (Jin Kingdom) in the bitter cold land were defeated.

Jiang Weiguo didn't know whether the national government would be comfortable and lazy because of this, but he certainly would not, because Japan had not been destroyed, and it was impossible for him to put his swords and guns into the warehouse and put his horses on Nanshan.

The temporary peace negotiation and truce are not for muddling along, but for gaining time and working hard.

Sooner or later, China and Japan will have a showdown, and Jiang Weiguo has no doubts about this.

Next, the two countries will compare construction and development. This process is still extremely severe.

China has gained time, and so has Japan, and Japan has four provinces in Northeast China, so China will be at a disadvantage in the next construction and development competition between China and Japan, and Jiang Weiguo needs to continue to "foresight", just like the Shu Kingdom in the Three Kingdoms period in history and Wei Guo.

Why does Shu, whose national power is far inferior to that of Wei, take the initiative to attack Wei every time?This is because if the two countries do not fight and both engage in economic construction and development, the speed of Shu State will not be as good as that of Wei State. After ten years of peace, the national power of Shu State will be completely thrown away by Wei State, and Wei State will be overwhelming to Shu State. Therefore, Zhuge Liang must continue to launch the Northern Expedition and win battles. In this way, Shu State can plunder Wei State’s population and materials through victories, increase Shu State’s national power by war, and consume Wei State’s national power by war. Minimize the gap in national power between the two countries.

"There is a long way to go! The road is long and difficult!" Jiang Weiguo sighed with emotion.

After pushing open the door dizzily, Jiang Weiguo was startled, because he saw an Eight Immortals table in the living room, with high mahjong bases and dice flying, and four women were sitting at the table fighting heartily. It was his four girlfriends, who just made up a table.

No matter how Jiang Weiguo looked at it, he felt that this scene was quite harmonious and inexplicable. The four women were completely different in character and background, but after sitting on the mahjong table, they all became the same kind of person.

Jiang Weiguo saw that Yang Mei looked highly focused, flicking the cards as if she was killing someone. After she was done, her expression was annoyed. It was obvious that she had found a bad card. Even if she is free and easy, Cai Wenna is more reserved, she just sighs softly when she gets a bad card, and just purses her lips and smiles when she gets a good card. Liu Wugou is the most excited, probably because she lost so badly, so she is dancing and out of breath.

Jiang Weiguo remembered that both Shi Liling and Cai Wenna were from Sichuan, and they liked to play mahjong in the first place, so they probably "distracted" Yang Mei and Liu Wugou. However, he was even more curious about how these four women sat together Yes, if I remember correctly, Jiang Weiguo remembered that Shi Liling called Liu Wugou a "fox spirit" behind his back.

"Weiguo, are you awake?" Seeing Jiang Weiguo walking out of the bedroom, except for Yangmei, the other three women were all chattering. Liu Wugou seemed to care about Jiang Weiguo the most, and got up with her big belly in her arms. Shi Liling hurriedly Shouted: "Fourth sister, don't try to find excuses to escape! You still owe me money! Run away if you lose!"

Liu Wugou glared at Shi Liling: "I know!" She walked towards Jiang Weiguo, "The food is in the kitchen, and besides..." She extended her hand to Jiang Weiguo openly, "Give me some money, I'm out of money. All the hard work money earned in Nanjing has been lost to the eldest sister and the third sister!"

"Is there any mistake!" Jiang Weiguo opened Liu Wugou's hand, "Stop joking!"

Liu Wugou raised her eyebrows immediately: "What are you doing?" She puffed up her stomach, "I don't want to be responsible anymore? I can't even ask you for some money?"

Jiang Weiguo had no choice but to say, "All right, all right, put it on my account!" He watched Liu Wugou happily rush to sit back on the mahjong table, and hurriedly added, "No more than fifty!"

Liu Wugou beamed and began to shuffle the cards, and at the same time sneered back at Jiang Weiguo: "Five hundred is about the same!"

Jiang Weiguo became more and more helpless, he went to the kitchen (Jiang Weiguo was in Wuhan at this time, he bought a villa in Wuhan East Lake, and he is here now), while eating to fill his stomach, he was thinking about one very important thing: money!Next, China will enter a period of wartime construction and development. Military, industry, transportation, scientific research... Each is extremely important, and each is extremely expensive. Chiang Kai-shek is poor, and Jiang Weiguo must do his best It's just that his financial channels are stretched and he can't make ends meet.

"Money? How did you get the money? The money I saved before the war has been spent in the war!" Jiang Weiguo was full of thoughts, "Damn it! God, you drop me a hundred tons of gold! As long as it doesn't hit me on the head!"

After dinner, Jiang Weiguo drove to the Wuhan Military Commission. There was a huge traffic jam all the way. The streets were full of people celebrating victory, and there were also protesting parades.

Jiang Weiguo saw a very funny and dazzling scene: a group of passionate young people shouted "Long live the victory of the national army" and "Long live Chairman Jiang", while another group of passionate young people shouted "oppose the armistice" and "the end of the war of resistance" "Ceding the land for peace! Losing power and humiliating the country!" After the two groups of people with incompatible ideas collided, they immediately fought, cursing, screaming, and screaming in pain, and the scene was in a mess. .

Some young people excitedly said: "Compatriots! 3000 million compatriots in the four northeastern provinces are still under the iron heels of the Japanese invaders! And more than 200 million compatriots in Hebei Province, Chahar Province, Suiyuan Province, Shanghai City, Tianjin City, and Beiping City Our compatriots have also fallen into the clutches of the Japanese invaders! We are still here to celebrate the victory! How safe our conscience is! This is not a victory! This is a failure! This is a disgrace! Not only did we not recover the four provinces in Northeast China, but we also ceded three provinces and three cities to the Japanese Is there such a victory in the world? What about the great rivers and mountains in the eight provinces and three cities? What about the more than 200 million compatriots? Who cares about their lives! What are we celebrating? This is a national humiliation!" With tears in his eyes, he hissed and shouted: "Grandfather Sijue, exposed to frost and dew, cut off thorns, and used the size of the land, and the children and grandchildren treat it with no pity, and give it to others, like abandoning grass! Cut five cities today, tomorrow Cut off ten cities, and then have to sleep overnight, and look at the four realms, and the Qin army is coming! However, the land of the princes is limited, and the desire to tyranny the Qin is insatiable! Recite Su Xun's "Six Kingdoms")

Another young man retorted righteously: "That's not right! When Qin Xiangong died in battle and Qin Xiaogong came to the throne, Qin was troubled by domestic and foreign troubles. Inside, there were aristocratic tyrants who controlled the real power of the country. Outside, there were six countries from Shandong who jointly invaded and planned to destroy Qin. Qin Xiaogong endured humiliation, bribed the powerful officials of the six countries, and ceded the land to the six countries to negotiate peace and beg for surrender in exchange for a respite. At the end of the decade, stand proudly in the west of China, become the head of the Seven Heroes of the Warring States Period and finally wipe out the six kingdoms, wipe out all shame, and unify China! Today, China is imitating the Qin State of the past!"

"That's right! If there is no peace talks, if we continue to fight, can we win?" Another young man supported, "If it weren't for peace talks, how could the four provinces of Jiangsu, Zhejiang, Shandong, and Shanxi take back without bloodshed? As for the four northeastern provinces And the three provinces and three cities, we have to trust the chairman, he will definitely lead us to recover all of them in the near future!"

"No!" A young man objected, "Ceding land for peace is clearly cutting flesh to mend sores and drinking poison to quench thirst! It's the way of self-destruction! The four northeastern provinces have been lost for six or seven years. Have we taken them back? Now we have lost three more provinces." In the three cities, it is simply deceiving the ears and stealing the bell! The three provinces and three cities are the second four provinces in Northeast China! In a few years, we will have the third loss of land!"

Young people with different ideas fought fiercely on the street.

"Although the Republic of China is a bit chaotic, the thinking is indeed full of contention and flowers blooming!" Jiang Weiguo looked at this scene and thought to himself, "Compared to those youths who only knew how to play games to pick up girls and waste their youth, the youths of the Republic of China are really remarkable. !” He knew that the China-Japan peace talks and armistice had led to a great ideological split in China. , work hard.

In the headquarters of the Military Commission, Jiang Weiguo did not see Chiang Kai-shek. He is probably still "rehabilitating". Was caught by him.

Jiang Weiguo walked around and saw Chen Cheng. Chen Cheng told Jiang Weiguo three things: First, he is now a major general, and he will be awarded a National Glory Medal and a Lion Dance Sword. In recognition of his outstanding performance in the Battle of Nanjing; second, the army, navy and air force of the national army will soon start a comprehensive rectification, as will the Nanjing Army (Dragon Soul Army). According to Chiang Kai-shek’s order, Chiang Weiguo has a lot of Third, the Japanese troops in Jiangsu and Zhejiang provinces are withdrawing, and the national army is gradually taking over the two provinces. However, the Japanese troops in Shandong and Shanxi provinces have not yet withdrawn.

"We have communicated with the Japanese!" Chen Cheng showed a very intriguing expression, "The Japanese troops in Shandong and Jin provinces will not evacuate for the time being!"

Jiang Weiguo's heart moved, and he quickly came back to his senses: "Han Fuju and Yan Xishan?"

Chen Cheng nodded: "The Japanese are about to leave the provinces of Shandong and Jin. Han and Yan, who were originally the emperors of these two provinces, definitely want to go back immediately, but..." He smiled slightly, "Can we let them go back? The two provinces of Lu and Jin were not controlled by the central government before the war. After the war, how could the central government allow Han and Yan to steal the actual control of the two provinces of Lu and Jin? Second son, how about you, hurry up and get ready! Get ready to bring Let the troops go to the two provinces of Shandong and Jin! Yan Xishan's troops are currently in southern Shanxi and are already preparing to go north. Han Fuju's troops are currently in southern Henan and are also preparing to return home.

We let the Japanese stay where they are, temporarily suppressing these two people, and you can take over when you bring the troops over.

However, it will definitely be troublesome!"

Jiang Weiguo felt very uncomfortable when he heard it. Using the hands of foreign invaders to suppress dissidents in his own country is disgraceful no matter how you look at it. However, this is determined by China's national conditions at this time. After all, this is also a kind of sorrow for the Chinese nation. .

Chapter 379 A New Beginning (2)

Chiang Kai-shek's official residence in Wuhan is located in the secret room of the study in the inner hall.

After Jiang Weiguo entered the room, Chiang Kai-shek handed Jiang Weiguo a document: "Let's have a look!" He seemed earnest, "Wei'er, I know you are very unwilling, but it is indeed our best choice to negotiate a peace and truce, continue to fight , more bad luck than good luck!"

Jiang Weiguo took the document and looked at it. It was the statistical report of the Ministry of Military and Political Affairs on the Sino-Japanese War, and it was the "internal information" of the military.

After reading it carefully, Jiang Weiguo's mood also became heavy.

This Sino-Japanese war is not a war in the strict sense, because China and Japan did not declare war on each other, so it is just an "armed conflict". Due to Jiang Weiguo's major interference in history, this Sino-Japanese war did not last for eight years, but It lasted for one year and three months, broke out on July 1937, 7, and ended at the end of September 7 (China and Japan signed the armistice agreement on October 1938).

During this year and three months, China and Japan successively fought five large-scale battles in Pingjin, Songhu, Nanjing, Taiyuan, and Xuzhou, as well as hundreds of small and medium-sized battles. The Chinese army has invested more than 250 million troops in the battle. The Japanese army invested a total of more than 95 troops into the war, and both sides suffered heavy casualties and suffered huge losses.

According to strict statistics, the Chinese army, navy and air force have accumulatively suffered about 130 million casualties, of which about 60 died, the Air Force lost more than 900 aircraft, and the Navy lost more than 400 ships (mostly torpedo boats); about 150 million civilians About 500 million civilians were displaced due to the war and other factors brought about by the war. In terms of property damage, the direct property loss reached more than 150 billion US dollars, and the indirect loss reached more than 100 billion US dollars. At the same time, the Chinese military and civilians made Japan pay a huge price. The cumulative casualties of the Japanese army and navy in China were about 65 (more than half were in Nanjing), of which about 35 died (about 20 Japanese soldiers died in Nanjing alone), and Japanese aircraft were shot down and destroyed More than 2500 Japanese warships and Japanese civilian ships were sunk in total (some were sunk by Chinese Air Force aircraft, some were sunk by Chinese Army artillery, and more were sunk by Chinese Navy torpedo boats, auxiliary cruisers, submarines and mines), the total tonnage loss exceeded 130 tons, and more than 50 Japanese civilians were killed or injured (mainly due to attacks by Chinese navy submarines on Japanese civilian ships and terrorist attacks launched by the Maritime Bureau in Japan) ), Japan’s military expenditure has accumulated as high as 15 billion yen, and losses in various aspects have exceeded 90 billion yen.

"The national government has gone bankrupt!" Chiang Kai-shek sighed, "Even if you want to continue the fight, you are powerless! Therefore, Weier, although it is a bit humiliating to negotiate a peace and armistice, it is the most ideal ending!"

Jiang Weiguo nodded: "Father, I know, I understand you!"

"More than that!" Chiang Kai-shek seemed to be more and more confiding, "The Central Army troops have been severely injured, and the local snakes in the country are about to move.

Han Fuju and Liu Xiangzheng are conspiring to "force the palace". The Central Army is currently blocked by the Sichuan Army in the east of Chongqing. Long Yun, Liu Wenhui, and Li Zongren have an ambiguous attitude. If these Southwest warlords form a group to resist the Central Committee, the disaster will be infinite. The situation of the Great War in the Central Plains will repeat itself. In addition, Han Fuju intends to return to Shandong, and Yan Xishan intends to return to Shanxi. How can these two provinces become their private territories again?In addition, Li Zongren's Guangxi army left Guizhou to participate in the War of Resistance. Two group armies of his department are currently on the Xuzhou battlefield. They told me that they would retreat to Anhui Province to rest and recuperate. Become the new territory of the Guangxi family and become the second Guangxi.

Therefore, it is necessary for the central government to negotiate a peace and armistice with the Japanese, because the country needs time to clean up and rectify properly!"

Jiang Weiguo looked at Chiang Kai-shek sympathetically, the old man himself was really tired.

"Wei'er, you plan to take the troops to Shandong and Shanxi. Father knows that you plan to do a good job!" Chiang Kai-shek looked at Jiang Weiguo with sharp eyes, and at the same time encouraged him, "Father naturally supports you with all his strength.

Just let go of your hands and feet and work hard! "

Jiang Weiguo grinned, what Chiang Kai-shek said was what he wanted to hear the most at this time.

Jiang Weiguo's thinking at this time was urgently moving closer to a warlord, because he found that if he wanted to do great things, he must have his own strength and influence. In addition to money, people, guns, and backstage, territory is also indispensable.

Jiang Weiguo didn't have his own territory before, and his power was "parasitic" on Chiang Kai-shek's power, so there were many inconveniences in doing things. With his own territory, everything would be easier.

Jiang Weiguo did not want to "crack the soil and become king". His territory was obtained by "black eating black", such as the two provinces of Shandong and Shanxi. These two provinces were originally the territory of local warlords. It is natural to use it for oneself.

During the few days of his stay in Wuhan, Jiang Weiguo learned from Chiang Kai-shek, He Yingqin, and Chen Cheng that the national army (army) will soon carry out a comprehensive reorganization. This Sino-Japanese war is actually a big reshuffle. Many local armies that suffered heavy losses on the anti-Japanese battlefield will be reduced in size and have their designations revoked, while the central army is just the opposite.

Jiang Weiguo's "Nanjing Army" is the direct line of the Central Army's lineage, and has made brilliant military exploits, so it naturally has the power to expand the army.

南京军原本共有11个师，分别是第77师、第88师、第99师、第100师、第74师、预备第2师、第145师（川军）、第170师（桂军）、第182师（滇军），以及在战争中被南京军控制的第17、第177师。

At the end of the war, the 145th Division, the 170th Division, and the 182nd Division all broke away from the Nanjing Army, because the warlords of Sichuan, Guangxi and Yunnan to which these three divisions belonged did not want to be annexed by the Central Army, so they all I found an excuse to take it back, so the Nanjing Army still has 9 divisions.

考虑到“服众”，预备第2师和第177师并入第17师，最终，南京军共保留6个师：第77师、第88师、第99师、第100师、第74师、第17师。

Jiang Weiguo intends to lead his army to the two provinces of Shandong and Shanxi. It stands to reason that he can annex the Lu army and the Jin army, but he is not interested in this because he does not want his direct line army to be mixed with sand and become a hodgepodge of dragons and snakes. At that time, the interior was not pure and united, and the Nanjing Army must continue to expand, but this kind of thing is haste makes waste, and greed can't chew.

If the expansion is too fast, the quantity will increase, but the quality will decrease.

Jiang Weiguo is still very satisfied with his existing 6 divisions. According to the Shangfang sword he asked for from Chiang Kai-shek, his 6 divisions will be "three brigades and nine regiments", and each division can reach more than 20 troops , a division can single out a main division of the Japanese army, plus other subsidiary troops, the Nanjing Army currently has more than 100 troops (it should be noted that the [-]th Division of the Nanjing Army is not a field army, but a biological and chemical army. The only biochemical unit of the national army).
