Rebirth of the National Marshal

"Hello, Mr. Mao. I am a reporter from the South China Daily. I would like to ask that since there are a large number of German-made weapons in your army, does it mean that there are Germans standing behind you?" In today's society, in the minds of ordinary people, as long as there is a warlord, there must be a foreigner standing behind him. If there is no support from foreigners, this warlord will definitely not be able to survive.

"Behind me stand tens of millions of ordinary Chinese people." Mao Yuanshan's words were greeted with applause from all the journalist friends. Even though some foreigners were reluctant, they could only stand up and applaud when they saw the current situation. Some excited Chinese journalists were already standing on the table, pressing their cameras violently, as if the flash could understand their current mood.

"Dear journalist friends, welcome to our press conference today. Now I declare that the press conference is over. If there is any latest news, our Chahar Provincial Government Office will inform you journalist friends as soon as possible. Now please go to the restaurant next door for lunch." Xie Jingya quickly took the microphone when Mao Yuanshan and Mr. Jiang Baili walked down the rostrum. These reporters also felt strange. Since when could they provide lunch? This was something that had never happened in other places.

Journalists in this era had a high income, so it didn’t matter whether they were given a lunch or not. However, some large companies or governments in later generations would still provide a lunch after a press conference, which is why those journalists would feel good about it.

He didn't lack this meal, but this meal did provide him with convenience. You know, journalists are the uncrowned kings in any era, especially in this era, when news is still relatively free, so they must be provided with all of these things. Otherwise, if their hands are slightly crooked, things will be difficult to say for sure. The channels for ordinary people to know some news are also through them, so they hold a large part of the power, and it is not shameful to curry favor with them.

"You actually declared war on the Soviet Union at the press conference. This is something I had never thought of. You were too impulsive. The Soviet Union is not just a Far East Military Region, it is the second most powerful country in the world. Now the Soviet Union is on the rise. If we really declare war on them, it will have a great impact on our future." At the press conference, Mao Yuanshan announced on the spot that he would declare war on the Soviet Union. This really caught the entire Chahar local government off guard. Originally, they just wanted to teach the Soviets a lesson and let them know that they were wrong, but they didn't expect that their second-rate chairman would do anything and actually declare war on the Soviet Union.

You have to know that the industrial output value of the Soviet Union is now dozens of times that of the Chahar local government, or even hundreds of times. Why should we fight them to the end?

"My Lord Chief of Staff, you don't see this point as clearly as I do. It's like the central government now. The situation has reached this point. They haven't declared war on the Japanese yet, but we have already started a war with the Japanese. If a full-scale war is declared, it can give the people reassurance and let them not wait and see, but fully devote themselves to this war of resistance. What I am doing is also a reminder to the more than 1000 million people under the rule of the Chahar government, telling them that we are at war with the world's second-ranked country, so that they can also put all their enthusiasm into this war and not let them waver. I will not accept any mediation." Mao Yuanshan said with a smile, as if what he had just talked about was a very easy matter.

"What you said does make sense. These polar bears should be taught a lesson. They really think we are soft persimmons. Seeing that we are fighting fiercely with the Japanese, they dare to stab us in the back." Mr. Jiang Baili used to call the Soviet Union when he spoke, but now he also followed Mao Yuanshan and directly called him polar bear.

"Teaching them a lesson is not as simple as talking about it. I think there will be a big war between us and the Soviets, and we will have to separate. The climate in the Soviet Union is relatively cold, so I should go to the front line, and you should stay in the base camp to organize some new troops to support both battlefields." Mao Yuanshan thought that the Northeast front line was relatively close to the Chahar area, but the Soviet-Mongolian border was quite far away from the Chahar area.

Supply is really a big problem. No matter where Mao Yuanshan is, he can get a lot of supplies. This is very good. Before leaving, Mao Yuanshan can fill up all the arsenals in Chahar. This will ensure the training between the front line here and the Chahar local troops. When it arrives at the Soviet-Mongolian border area, it can replenish the front line nearby. This is a very good thing and can solve the logistics problem.

"This is absolutely not possible. You are the backbone of this place. How can you go to the front line so easily? This is just like the emperor leading the army in person in ancient times. If the emperor goes to the front line, the war must be won. Otherwise, it will be a huge blow to the entire country. If you have any mistakes on the front line, our Chahar region will really be in trouble. So it is better for me to go to the north, and you stay at home to coordinate the overall situation. This family cannot leave you, and neither can the more than 1000 million people in Chahar." Mr. Chiang Bai-ri knew that Mao Yuanshan was doing it for his own good.

Now that two battlefields have been opened, the two of them must also be separated. One person must stay at home and the other must go out. Mr. Jiang Baili knew that Mao Yuanshan was in poor health and would definitely not be able to endure the bitter cold of the Soviet Union, so he asked him to go there in person.

"I know my own limitations very well. I really can't take care of things at home. I have to build a new army and allocate some civilian supplies. These things are too trivial. At least I know more or less about the things on the battlefield. Although I don't have much experience, I know that in the face of absolute strength, any conspiracy is a paper tiger. As long as I concentrate my fists, I can just walk through it. I don't believe these Soviets can play any tricks. Sooner or later, I will kill them. They are no match for me."
