Bright Sword: Construction starts from southeastern Shanxi

Just as Lu Zhonglin was about to refuse, he heard Zeng Jiwen's voice again.

"Of course, it's okay if Commander Lu doesn't want to. After all, we can't force him to do anything."

"But, Commander Lu, I feel really bad about those people under you!"

"I'm sure Commander Lu also understands this. I guess the old man doesn't completely believe you!"

After saying that, Zeng Jiwen looked at Lu Zhonglin meaningfully.

Lu Zhonglin was suddenly shocked.

"So? What does Commander Zeng mean?"

Lu Zhonglin blurted out.

Then, his face changed drastically. Oh no, his true identity was exposed.

I suddenly felt a pang of regret.

Zeng Jiwen looked at Lu Zhonglin and immediately understood something.

Immediately strike while the iron is hot and encourage.

"Commander Lu, we can do this. Let's unite and fight against Japan. Those who are not firm in their stance can be eliminated!"

"If you're worried about the troops getting out of control, we can establish two armies: a regular army and a militia. The Eighth Route Army will help train the militia, and Commander Lu, can you personally select and organize the regular army?"

"As for the other troops, I think they are unnecessary."

"Jizhong, I promise that our Eighth Route Army will not enter any county town and will only develop in rural areas."

"As for what happens next, Commander Lu, you're also a veteran of the Northern Expedition, so I don't need to explain anything extra, right?"

"Things in the world are ever-changing, no one can predict what will happen!" Zeng Jiwen said meaningfully.

Hearing Zeng Jiwen's words, Lu Zhonglin was immediately moved.

Ever since the old commander became idle, their entire army has been torn apart. Although he has been appointed commander of the Hebei-Chahar War Zone this time, his own family knows his own business, and several of his subordinates and even others are acting as spies in the south.

He understood what Zeng Jiwen said, and for a moment, Lu Zhonglin was a little moved.

Even Lu Zhonglin understood Zeng Jiwen's last sentence.

After all, he had been observing Tainan's situation for several days on his way here.

Didn’t the Qing Dynasty also change its flag overnight?

Lu Zhonglin frowned and kept thinking and weighing things.

Seeing Lu Zhonglin thinking, Zeng Jiwen did not urge him too much.

Based on this person's subsequent actions, Zeng Jiwen believed that Lu Zhonglin would make the right choice.

After a long time, Lu Zhonglin let out a long sigh.

"Master Zeng, I think your idea is very good. We can work together to give it a try!"

Lu Zhonglin said with some difficulty.

Hearing this, a smile appeared on Zeng Jiwen's face.

"Commander Lu, that's not true. As long as we work together, I believe we can drive the Japanese troops out of North China in a few years."

Zeng Jiwen said happily.

Lu Zhonglin looked somewhat dejected.

"hope so!"

After finishing speaking, Zeng Jiwen immediately announced that he would issue an order to the troops around Anping to end the exercise. At the same time, your army did not need to withdraw and remained stationed in Anping City.

Five o'clock in the afternoon, outside Pingshun City.

Zeng Jiwen and Zhou Xi looked at Lu Zhonglin's receding back, then turned around and prepared to return to the city.

"Commander, aren't you afraid that he will go back on his word?" Zhou Xi asked curiously.

"he?"

"It's no use for him to regret it now!"

Zeng Jiwen was in a very good mood.

Then he continued.

"If nothing unexpected happens, he will definitely be reported to the South by the Military Control Commission when he comes to our side this time."

"Plus, with his subsequent collaboration with us, I suspect he won't be the director of Jidi for long."

"Then why did you say that to him?" Zhou Xi said with some curiosity.

"It's easy to get on the boat, but it's difficult to get off," said Zeng Jiwen.

Then he continued to explain: "This man is not trusted by the South to begin with, and the Northwest Army is now divided. If we really help him control a unit, do you think he will have any ideas about the South?"

"Besides, can the weapons and supplies shipped south avoid our base?"

"Just wait, his army will eventually be named Zeng!"

After saying that, he and Zhou Xi walked towards the city.
