Even though he was excited, Li Guosheng did not lose his mind because of this. In Li Guosheng's eyes, as a hero of a generation, Li Zongren would never make such a great sacrifice in vain and give up the right to get it.

After a brief contemplation, he asked Li Zongren the question that everyone was most concerned about: "Commander-in-Chief Li, I believe you should have some understanding of the various systems of the National Defense Forces. In the National Defense Forces, anyone who serves as the highest commander in an army will not last more than five years. Therefore, once the Guangxi clique is incorporated into the National Defense Forces, the 100,000 troops commanded by the Guangxi clique must be unified and reorganized in accordance with the requirements of the National Defense Forces, and commanders at all levels in the troops will also be appointed by the General Command of the National Defense Forces."

Seeing Li Zongren who was silent in front of him, Li Guosheng continued to analyze: "This means that after your army was incorporated into the National Defense Forces, many military commanders will be transferred with some commanders of the National Defense Forces and cannot return to the original troops. In addition, the reorganization of the troops will lead to the military positions of many people. After all, the largest military commander of our defense force has reached the division level..."

Hearing this, Li Zongren decisively interrupted Li Guosheng's next words. He said to Li Guosheng with a serious tone: "Commander-in-Chief Li, although I, Li Zongren, are greedy for power, but I, Li Zongren, are even a Chinese and a Chinese-Central. At that time, if there is no one who is unwilling to accept it, tell me, I will deal with him... I promise that all the 100,000 troops under the Guizhou Clan will unconditionally obey the orders of the General Command of the National Defense Forces and obey orders..."

Li Guosheng nodded, neither agreeing with what Li Zongren said nor denying it. Instead, he asked unexpectedly: 'Since that is the case, I will feel relieved... Commander-in-Chief Li. I don't know if you have any special requirements for the incorporation of the Guangxi clique into the National Defense Forces. As long as it is not excessive, I, Li Guosheng, will definitely agree... "

Li Zongren shook his head and continued to say firmly: "The Chief Executive, it's still what I just said. Since I have made a decision, let the Guangxi clique be completely incorporated into the National Defense Forces. The 100,000 soldiers who have been self-proclaimed in the entire Guangxi clique will be subject to the orders of the National Defense Forces headquarters from now on, without any requirements..."

"Okay..." Li Guosheng's serious face finally showed a smile and relaxed.

After a brief thought, without hesitation, he quickly told me an idea that suddenly passed by his mind: "Since that's the case, Commander-in-Chief Li. Then I'm not polite... My thought is..."

A pair of eyes looked at the three people in front of him again. After the three people's eyes quickly gathered on themselves, they spoke: "First: Guangxi Province controlled by the Guangxi system, Shandong Province controlled by our defense force, the three northeastern provinces, and the Far East that had just been recovered, we will unite the temporary joint special zone government, with Commander-in-Chief Li as the chairman of the joint special zone government."

"Second. From now on, all the troops of Gui system commander will be incorporated into the National Defense Forces and will be reorganized by the National Defense Forces. The latest number of troops will be awarded. The National Defense Forces will be the commander-in-chief, Jiang Baili will continue to serve as the chief of staff of the National Defense Forces, and Bai Chongxi will serve as the deputy chief of staff of the National Defense Forces and the first commander of the Mountain Operations Group of the National Defense Forces..."

Faced with this unexpected result, Li Zongren and Bai Chongxi showed a look of shock on their faces. Of course, after the shock, they were shrouded in a deep surprise from the heart. High-quality update

Chairman of the joint SAR government of the six provinces across the country. For Li Zongren, whether he has real power or not, it represents a kind of honor and power. It is certain that as long as he has this halo on his head, he will be the most powerful second person in the Republic of China except Chiang Kai-shek. This is undoubtedly an unprecedented compensation for Li Zongren, who gave up the command of the Guangxi clan.

Li Zongren's new position is beyond imagination, while Bai Chongxi's position is also beyond imagination.

In Li Zongren's view, even if the deputy chief of staff of the National Defense Forces does not have much power, the position of commander of the Mountain Army, which Bai Chongxi personally served as the commander of the Mountain Army, has a very high value. Although it is not clear what type of army the Mountain Army is, it can be called an army by the National Defense Forces. No matter how impatient it is, with the latest organization of the National Defense Forces, there are several main divisions, almost 100,000 elite troops...

In other words, even though he and Bai Chongxi gave up the rule of the 100,000 army of the Guangxi clique, they still had a 100,000 army with more well-equipped national defense force. Not only that, they also obtained a senior position, a chairman of the United SAR government, which was for the whole world and could not have imagined before.

Faced with Li Guosheng's trustworthy appointment, both of them immediately showed admiration on their faces.

Li Guosheng, commander-in-chief of the National Defense Forces, looked at Li Zongren and Bai Chongxi, whose expressions were changing in front of him, and said again: "Chairman Li, my idea is this: After the establishment of the SAR government, all matters about the SAR government, including diplomatic matters with other local governments and the central government in the country will be handed over to you for responsibility."

"As for me, I will train the troops and reorganize the troops... and let the National Defense Force embark on the road to strengthening the army in a short period of time. At the same time, it is also responsible for commanding various wars that the National Defense Force may participate in in the future..."

"Chief of Staff Jiang Baili, the mission and power remain unchanged, and assist me in commanding the entire National Defense Force..."

"Deputy Chief of Staff Bai Chongxi assists the Chief of Staff to manage the General Staff, and at the same time, manage the upcoming mountain army of the National Defense Forces. As for this mountain army, my idea is to expand it based on the mountain division of the National Defense Forces to establish a special force that is completely adapted to mountain combat... Initial idea, the organization of this mountain army is temporarily set to be two armies and six main divisions. As for the source of soldiers of the mountain army, except for a small number from the National Defense Forces, the remaining officers and soldiers are all selected from the troops currently commanded by the Guangxi regime. After the reorganization is completed, the total strength of the mountain army is 100,000..."

Because of Li Guosheng's trust and generosity, the next conversation between the four people seemed much easier. In less than half an hour, the matters related to the establishment of the Joint SAR Government and the reorganization of the National Defense Forces were discussed.

Of course, at the critical moment when the National Defense Force sold weapons to local governments, in order not to arouse suspicion from local governments and central governments, the incorporation of the Guangxi regime into the National Defense Force was not immediately revealed. The only change was that a large number of weapons and equipment suitable for mountain combat began to be continuously sent to Guangxi through the navy. The 100,000 troops led by the Gui system also began to secretly reorganize according to the latest organization of the National Defense Force's mountain division...

As time goes by, the first part of the weapons transaction between the National Defense Forces and local governments, that is, the cash transaction is completed. China's first large-scale immigration in history has also begun to be carried out all over the country.

Kaifeng, Henan, as a major city in China's history, has been swept through several provinces in the Central Plains since the drought began to sweep away several provinces. Thousands of victims have begun to flock to this historical ancient city, hoping that this historical ancient city can give itself a chance to survive.

However, what disappointed the people was that as a large number of victims continued to flow into Kaifeng City. The ancient city of Kaifeng not only did not open the city gate, but instead ordered the city defense troops to carry out martial law and prohibit all victims from entering the city.

If it weren't for some enlightened gentlemen in the city who took the initiative to set up porridge shops outside the city to provide disaster relief, the outside of Kaifeng City, which had gathered more than 100,000 victims, might have turned into a bone-filled Shura hell.

Before the disaster victims gathered everywhere, a scent of various stenches came to the face and sprinted into everyone's nostrils. As the sky gradually darkened, some pale heads gradually began to stretch out from the shack where countless victims gathered, looking at the porridge shops not far away every night. A message that made everyone desperate. It was like a plague, spreading rapidly in the disaster victims gathering area.

"Oh no, news came from the city: From today on, the city will no longer provide us with any food..."

"Oh my God. Without food, how can we live... Is God just watching us starve to death outside Kaifeng... The government, why doesn't the government help us..."

"Are we really going to starve to death outside Kaifeng City today? God, God is so unfair. Why can rich people get big fish and meat? But we can't even drink porridge..."

Various calls full of despair began to spread among the people, and faces full of expectations more than ten minutes ago were already covered by despair.

Just as everyone started to gather at the city gate with despair, preparing to ask the government for an explanation and fight to survive, another news quickly came from the city...

"From today on, the central government will hand over all the tasks of relief to the National Defense Forces of the three northeastern provinces, and the National Defense Force will provide everyone with disaster relief. However, in order to get relief from the National Defense Force, one condition must be met, that is, the whole family will migrate to the three northeastern provinces. As long as the whole family migrates to the three northeastern provinces, the National Defense Force will provide everyone with food for at least one year..."

The news spread and various expressions began to appear on the victims' desperate faces.

In the eyes of most Chinese, the three northeastern provinces are wilderness areas that have not yet been civilized. There are bandits everywhere who kill without blinking, and there are Japanese and Russians who may enter the three northeastern provinces to oppress the people at any time. Isn’t it different from migrating such a land that can be passed by itself?

Just as everyone was in hesitation and doubt, a strong smell of steamed bun suddenly spread from behind everyone. Immediately afterwards, a sound of gongs and tempting screams came to everyone's ears.

Looking at the sound, baskets of steamed buns and hot porridge that were still emitting hot steamed buns and hot porridge were like a pile of gold ingots, attracting everyone's attention and making everyone unable to bear to leave. Just as everyone was mechanically walking their legs and gathering towards the steamed buns and hot porridge step by step, a National Defense Army soldier who was beating the gong spoke with a smile on his face.

"My fellow villagers, we are soldiers of the National Defense Army. We are ordered to come to provide disaster relief and help everyone overcome the disaster in front of us. However, the disaster relief carried out by our National Defense Army has requirements, that is, everyone must migrate to the three northeastern provinces. Now, those who want to eat steamed buns come to me to register. As long as you sign up, starting today, the National Defense Army's steamed buns and broth will be supplied to everyone in an unlimited amount until everyone can support themselves..."

"In addition, I have another good news to tell you. After you arrive in the three northeastern provinces, as long as you are adults, you can get ten acres of fertile land. Even the elderly and children can get five acres of fertile land after you arrive in the three northeastern provinces. So, whether it is for survival or for dozens of acres of land that can be passed down from generation to generation, I hope everyone will make a choice immediately. After all, the land controlled by the National Defense Forces is also very limited. Should we go to the three northeastern provinces with us and eat steamed buns every meal, or continue to stay in Henan and starve to death here. Make a decision as soon as possible..."

Seeing the victims who were still silent, the National Defense Force holding a gong was the Ice Girl who continued to instigate: "My fellow villagers, the land in the Northeast is a fertile land that can be made of oil by pinching. As long as we sow seeds, a mu of land can harvest hundreds of kilograms of grain. A mu of land is hundreds of kilograms of grain, and a few dozen acres of land is ten thousand kilograms of grain. Even a family of ten people can eat for a year. Why are you still standing there? You won't sign up immediately. In addition, I can tell you with certainty that the taxes in our Northeast are definitely the lowest in the country. A mu of land only needs to pay 100 kilograms of grain a year, and there are no other heavy taxes. As long as you arrive in the Northeast, I promise that within a year, everyone will never have to go hungry again..."

The temptation of land, the temptation of food, and the most direct temptation of steamed buns in front of them. All the victims gathered around slowly showed a look of greed. However, in the face of the bad reputation of the three northeastern provinces, no one dared to boldly step out his feet.

At this moment, a middle-aged man who seemed to have been a soldier and his hands were covered with calluses. He glanced at the steamed buns in front of him, swallowed a lot of saliva, and asked you to the soldier in front of him in the Wehrmacht uniform: "This sir. Everyone says that the northeast is full of bandits, and there are also a large number of evil Japanese and Russians. After we go to the northeast, who will protect us?"

For a moment, everyone turned their longing eyes to the National Defense Army soldier.

The National Defense Army soldier holding a gong smiled and replied confidently: "Brother, your news is too backward. Let me tell you the truth. In the current three northeastern provinces, there is no bandit, no Russians or Japanese who bullied us Chinese on Chinese land..."

"Maybe you don't know yet. Just a few months ago, our defense force not only successfully eliminated 300,000 Japanese troops, but also hundreds of thousands of Russian troops. Now, the entire three northeastern provinces, the Russians and Japanese prisoners of war captured by our defense force can be seen everywhere. Do you know what these Russians and Japanese are doing? Let me tell you that these people are scattered in the three northeastern provinces to build houses for everyone, so that everyone can spend a warm winter after entering the three northeastern provinces..."

"Of course, if you don't believe it, you can ask the central government officials standing beside me. What I said is absolutely true. There is no more foreigner who does evil on the ground of the three northeastern provinces. After entering the three northeastern provinces, you can farm, live, work, and support your family..."

After the soldier finished speaking, the face of the middle-aged man who was still hesitant just now was instantly covered with a firm expression. He spoke decisively at the National Defense Army soldier in front of him: "This officer, I believe in the National Defense Army, because the National Defense Army is a team to fight against the Japanese. I signed up to go to the Northeast. There are a total of five people in my family. In addition to me and my children, there is also a wife and two younger brothers, all of whom are young and strong, and they can be divided into 45 acres of fertile land in total..."

After taking a deep look at the middle-aged man in front of him who helped him break the deadlock, the soldier nodded and ordered: "Okay, I have a habit. On behalf of the National Defense Forces and the three northeastern provinces, I welcome you... You will immediately take your family there to register, and then get steamed buns. Under the organization of our relevant personnel, prepare for hiking and moving outside the pass."

With the first one, there will be the second one…

One side continued to go hungry, and even took the whole family to starve to death outside Kaifeng City. The other side brought their families out of seclusion and made a way out in the three northeastern provinces... Although the latter was full of certain dangers, hope was better than despair. Soon, the victims who were still hesitant just now began to rush to the registration office like a flood breaking the dike.

This scene that happened outside Kaifeng City is just a microcosm of all the affected areas in the Central Plains. According to statistics from the National Defense Forces, less than a week after the immigration plan began, several provinces in the Central Plains took the initiative to ask for the three northeastern provinces to reach an astonishing five million victims. What’s more important is that because several provinces in the Central Plains have been affected for several consecutive years, most of the young and middle-aged people who can survive in droughts at any time are young and middle-aged people who can join the army to go to the battlefield at any time.

Compared with the several provinces affected by the Central Plains, immigration from Sichuan seems much easier.

Because of the personal experience of tens of thousands of Sichuan soldiers of the 19th Division of the National Defense Forces, most Sichuan people, especially the families and fellow villagers of these soldiers... all know a fact: as long as you go to the three northeastern provinces, you can get dozens of acres of land that can be passed on to your descendants forever. As long as you go to the three northeastern provinces, you don’t need to receive the impact of war and you may die at any time. As long as you go to the three northeastern provinces, your family will never go hungry again...

Therefore, news about immigration to the three northeastern provinces has just been heard from the provincial government. Countless Sichuan people, like kittens who smelled fishy smell, flocked to the immigration office that the National Defense Forces had just established in Sichuan Province. In just one week, more than three million people in Sichuan Province, which has tens of millions of people, took the initiative to register and wanted to go outside the pass.

Of course, so many victims went outside the customs, with China's current transportation capabilities and the current strength of the National Defense Forces, they could not achieve it at once.
