The next day, Federica found Snow, who was still sulking in the room and made a sincere apology to him.

"Sorry! Mr. Snow, I should not doubt Mr. Meng Ben." Federica said apologetically to Snow: "But I hope you can understand it as a worry. When I stepped off the plane, I saw the reception from the chairman."

"In fact, I also know the backwardness of Yunnan and the poverty of the people. I can't understand why, as the highest governor here, he has so much wealth but is unwilling to let this area develop..."

"When I was in Germany, I regarded Mr. Meng Ben as my idol. In fact, my brother and father also admired him very much. I don't want to see my dreams shattered like this, nor do I want to see the warrior who was once so arrogant and degenerate into a warlord who lived just for his own interests."

Hearing Federica's words, Snow sighed deeply. Aban was also in the room. But he saw Aban pouring a cup of tea for him and whispered to Federica with a smile.

"I understand your concerns, but I don't think it makes sense." Aban looked at Federica and whispered: "If you want wealth, the Commander-in-Chief of the Chief of Design can definitely accumulate more wealth than Carnegie! He may even surpass Rockefeller!"

After a pause, Aban looked at Federica and whispered: "If you pursue power, then he can send troops to the pass now. With the combat effectiveness of the National Defense Force, I believe no one can block his way forward."

Speaking of this, Aban patted his head and continued: "But what I am confused about is that he doesn't seem to be very interested in these things at all. He even handed over the government affairs of the entire three northeastern provinces to his teachers and some scholars."

"The three northeastern provinces have formulated many laws, and some laws are very restrictive to him, and these laws have been passed. He himself also abides by these laws very much."

Aban leaned on the chair with a smile and whispered to Federica: "To be honest, many times I don't understand what the commander-in-chief is thinking, but what is certain is what he is preparing for."

"Maybe... what he is preparing for is war..." After a long silence, Snow took over Aban's words. The two of them had been in the three northeastern provinces for a long time, and they were all in contact with officials at all levels in the three northeastern provinces.

They can undoubtedly see the various actions of the three northeastern provinces the most clearly! Expanding the army, combat readiness, expanding production capacity and various R&D... etc., after calculating the whole way, it is not difficult to find that Tu Qianjun is preparing for the war!

This preparation became even more obvious after the Korean Battle of the National Defense Forces! More than 200,000 people formed the Fifth Corps of the National Defense Forces, and officers who studied in the National Defense Forces University were organized into this force and strived to form combat effectiveness as soon as possible!

The newly built automobile production line is more like a tank than a production of cars! Most of the private cars have been converted into alcohol and carbon fuels. However, the exploited oil has not been sold.

There is no doubt that these materials were stored as war preparations. The same is true for food. Farmers in the three northeastern provinces maintained the habit of selling 50% of the food they sold to the governments of the three northeastern provinces.

And these grains have never appeared on the market. After a large number of people influx and development, the arable land area in the three northeastern provinces has grown at an astonishing rate!

By statistics in 1931, the arable land in the three northeastern provinces had reached as much as 220 million mu! But a large part of it was occupied by grassland land. After Tu Qianjun took power, he went through land cultivation and replaced farmland and reclaimed new wasteland.

At the same time, the three eastern provinces have introduced tractor production lines. The produced tractors are provided for rent for each village, and special drivers are sent to assist in driving.

The Agricultural College of the Three East Provinces has also undergone the optimization of the good seeds and has built experimental fields in various places for trial planting. Now the new good seeds have been distributed to farmers in villages and towns at all levels in the three East Provinces, and have now spread throughout the three East Provinces.

Fortunately, the three northeastern provinces have some resources and hired Shen Zonghan, Rui Silou, Bu Kai, Mu Yier and others to teach and guide. The animal husbandry industry is Fang Zhongyou, an agronomist who has studied in Japan.

At the same time, it also formed a mutual aid college with Cornell University. Cornell University's Agricultural College is the world's first-class agricultural college. First-class agronomists in the Republic of China, such as Shen Zonghan, Dong Shijin, Qian Tianhe, etc., were all graduates of Cornell University.

In 1924, Shen Zonghan studied genetic breeding at Cornell University's Agricultural College, and his doctoral thesis was "Genetics in the maturity stage of wheat and its relationship with plant growth". Dong Shijin graduated from Cornell University in 1924. His doctoral thesis was "World Food Supply and Population". Qian Tianhe was engaged in sericulture research at Cornell University's Agricultural College, and later served as professor of agricultural science and director of the sericulture department of Jinling University.

In addition, Zou Bingwen, Ba Tanxian, Li Xianwen and other leaders in agriculture also graduated from Cornell University's Agricultural College.

Of course, the reason why Cornell University funded the three northeastern provinces is because of the good cooperative relationship between the three northeastern provinces and the United States.

After several years of returning farmland grasslands, the cultivated land in the three northeastern provinces such as Xintian has reached 320 million mu! The output has also increased from an annual output of more than 15 million tons in 1930 to an annual output of more than 56 million tons now!

This has to be said to be a miracle, and this miracle is based on the optimization of good varieties, and the independent supply of more than a thousand tractors and fertilizers. No one knows how much grain is stored in the three northeastern provinces except for the several high-level departments in the three northeastern provinces.

"Your Highness Princess Federica, what I want to tell you is that Commander-in-Chief Tu Mengben, who is undoubtedly the noblest person I have ever seen!" Aban looked at Federica and said solemnly: "I think Snow thinks so too."

"That's why he was so angry when you questioned Commander-in-Chief Tu Mengben." As he said, Aban smiled and said, "Actually, I'm very angry too."

"It is undoubtedly annoying to suspect a simple, almost ascetic general who has always eaten in the military cafeteria, sleeps in the office, and never travels by car!"

Aban's words made Federica's heart suddenly relieved. The tiger he respected still did not change. He maintained his confidence, his pride and enthusiasm for his motherland.

"I apologize to you for my rudeness." Federica smiled, regaining the elegance of the little princess of the German Hannover family, and smiled and whispered to the two reporters: "I want to know, do you want to continue interviewing me?!"

And while Federica Aban and Snow were interviewing, ground crews from the three northeastern provinces were repairing the fighter jet driven by Federica from Germany.

The Germans were obviously not very satisfied after getting the design drawings. They adjusted the design of the tiger shark again according to the German style. But the changes remained true to this sect. These ground crew members who were familiar with the Tiger shark i fighter naturally could easily disassemble the fighter for maintenance.

At the same time, several personnel wearing work clothes also made drawings of various parts of the fighter aircraft. These will be sent to the secretly established Aviation Design Bureau of the Three East China Provinces for those experts to see.

Of course, all this was carried out quietly. Federica naturally didn't know. The fighter she was driving had been dismantled by the ground crew members in the three northeastern provinces!

Long Yun was envious of the National Defense Army soldiers whose morale and fighting spirit were different from those of the Yunnan Army! The name of the Dian Army here was Long Yun's direct line.

Many people use their relationship to get close to these defense army soldiers. They try to find out how the defense army trained these warriors who fought with the Japanese and Soviets without losing their advantage.

These defense forces stationed in the army did not hide the training, education and military regulations of the defense forces. All of these were written and handed over to Long Yun's desk.

"Ah... it's no wonder that the National Defense Force can defeat the Japanese army! It's no wonder that the tiger is not afraid of the Japanese army..." After reading the basic training and education, military rules and regulations that were drawn, Long Yun couldn't help but sigh.

And after reading this outline, Sun Du, who was beside Long Yun, couldn't help but smile bitterly.

The first point of equality between officers and soldiers is difficult to achieve. Could it be that if you are waiting for others to spend all the money to support the people below? Eat empty salary, drink soldiers' blood, etc., these have become the default habits of the army in this era.

If they break it at will, then they may face a split without waiting for Chiang Chiang to come!

Speaking of education, "A good man doesn't serve as a soldier, and a good man doesn't work hard!" This concept has penetrated people's hearts! If you don't catch a strong man, you can't find someone to join the army. You still expect someone who knows how to serve as a literate person?! If you can read, you are basically officers!

Even the army itself also has the idea of ​​looking down on the "illiterate Qiu Ba". It is so difficult to let them teach soldiers to study! For a moment, Long Yun was discouraged and lazy.

If you don’t do these two items, then learning is just a superficial thing. When you collide with the National Defense Forces or the Japanese army, you will compete more about these skills!

Even if I understand why the National Defense Forces can be so strong, what can I do?! I can only watch.

In the army, there are all Long Yun's direct descendants. If they rashly change to other people, Long Yun will not be relieved. Therefore, even if they know this method, they can only stay on paper and watch it helplessly.

This is like Chiang Kai-shek later. Can he not know how powerful Chi?! After fighting Chi-seok for so many years, if he really doesn’t know the huge problems of the government itself, he will live in vain!

But just like the line in "The Founding of a Country": If you resist, you will destroy the party; if you don't resist, you will destroy the country!

The complex relationship is a problem that existed when the Nanjing National Palace Museum was first established. The roots are there, and if they are dug, the consequence is that the entire tree will fall down. But if they are not dug, the borers in the roots will gradually corrode the big tree!

In this era, almost all warlords faced this problem. In fact, Tu Qianjun had also encountered it. But his way of dealing with it was very simple: kill!

: : : : : : : : : : : : : : :

Chen Danran, in the late Qing Dynasty, once said in his collection of essays "Xiaoyan". Volume 2 "Proposal for Moving the Capital to Establish a Vast". "Precautions for Building a Vast": "Those who do not plan for the whole world are not worth planning for a moment; those who do not plan for the overall situation are not worth planning for a region."

Core value is a rule set for oneself from the ages and from the overall situation. Or, it can be said to be a principle.

Tu Qianjun was influenced by later troops, and he initially began to set up the most core value for his troops. This value has been implemented since the beginning of the Fourth Battalion.

As the fourth battalion became the first army, the legion, and the current national defense force, this core value has never changed. And this core value is: politics, beliefs and ideology where national interests and national interests are above all at any time and under any circumstances!

In fact, this line was also implemented by Tu Qianjun. He could provide assistance to the anti-Japanese red color and provide weapons to the troops participating in the anti-Japanese war in history.

He could accept those warlords with different ideas from his own, and could grant Li Hanhun a legion commander, and could receive the 52nd Division, the unit that rose up to fight against Japan, maintain the establishment and provide them with modern military training, and supplement combat personnel and weapons and equipment.

He can also accept red and provide them with medicines, supplies and weapons. But the core value he has not violated is that he cannot violate the interests of the country and the nation. The Nanjing State Government, which has not done this, is naturally not favored by tigers.

This is like building a house. If you plan a building with a height of ten thousand feet, the foundation will naturally be a hundred meters deep!

Otherwise, a strong wind would blow down the towers in the air with a low foundation. The Nanjing State Government, which Chiang Kai-shek, was blown down like this. And the seemingly huge Qing Empire was blown down like this.

Long Yun cannot change his core value, or it can be said that he cannot complete this core value change alone.

"Zhizhou... call Shengwu and the others and tell them. We will say we will not stick to our original requirements..." Long Yun was silent for a long time and whispered to his most trusted aide: "As long as we maintain our system, then we in Yunnan will allow other national defense forces to communicate..."

"Commander..." Sun Du couldn't help but be surprised! He didn't expect Long Yun to be discouraged by such things. But after a while of silence, he also guessed Long Yun's thoughts.

The war between Japan and China will always start. What should I do if the Japanese fight? Without a powerful army, I can't resist it! In other words, even if Long Yun insists on him, there will be only two ways in the future: annihilation by the Japanese, or a semi-crippled like the Fifty-Second Division and enter the Defense Forces sequence.

Rather than doing this, it is better to join the National Defense Forces now.

When Long Yun made up his mind, Federica's interview was also over. The little princess from Hanover stood up and saluted the two of them with a smile.

"According to the route design, I will fly to Xi'an tomorrow." But Federica smiled and said to the two of them, "Will you go with me?"

"Of course! We are honored!" Snow said to the German princess with a smile. Through the interview, he had completely let go of his hostility towards the princess.

Instead, it is a respect from the heart! A girl who is only nineteen years old, no matter how tenacious she is, she is actually just a little girl. But she has such ambitions and flew directly from Germany thousands of miles away to China!

Snow asked himself that he could not do such a crazy thing! Therefore, he respected and admired His Royal Highness, the princess of the Hanover family.

"Then let's complete this journey together!" Federica smiled and bowed to the two of them, and then Aban suggested that since he was in Kunming, he naturally had to walk around.

So the three of them walked out of the hotel, found Long Yun, and asked a few guides to visit Kunming.

Long Yun naturally did not dare to neglect, so he asked his confidant staff to lead these distinguished guests to visit and travel around. Under the leadership of this staff, Federica and others visited the world's No. 1 League, one of the four famous buildings, the Golden Horse and Bijifang, which is known as the symbol of Kunming's ancient buildings, and the Golden Palace where Wu Sangui was angry and angry...

This staff member was selected by Long Yun, so he is naturally very eloquent! Under his explanation, the historical stories and meanings behind these buildings are told in a leisurely manner. The itinerary is much more interesting.

The next morning, Federica came to say goodbye to Long Yun. Then, with the farewell from all walks of life in Kunming, he put on his flight suit and boarded his Tiger Shark i fighter that had been thoroughly inspected by ground crews in the three northeastern provinces!

Aban and the others boarded the plane from the three northeastern provinces to prepare to take pictures of the heroic posture of the Hanover princess flying a fighter plane in the air!

"Buzz buzz..." With the roar of the fighter engine, Federica's tiger shark slowly left the hangar! Under the command of professional ground crews in the three northeastern provinces, rushed forward with a "woo~~"!

Then he suddenly pulled up and rose up amid the exclamations of people from all walks of life in Kunming! He ran to the blue sky resolutely!

After Federica's fighter took off, the National Defense Forces fighter naturally did not stop. Then he took off along the runway and flew towards Federica's fighter.

Two fighter jets lined up side by side and flew towards Xi'an City. There, Zhang Xueliang had already arranged the airport reception. After flying for several hours, Federica landed at the airport in Xi'an under the escort of planes in the three eastern provinces.

This time she did not stop. After filling in gasoline, she directly chose to continue taking off! The next stop is Tianjin! Her goal is to arrive in the three northeastern provinces within today!

At the US military airport in Tianjin, it has been prepared for Federica! After the interview yesterday, the reports of Aban and Snow had already reached the United States with the telegram!

Today, it appeared on the front pages of major news! It caused a sensation in the world! The commander of the US military garrison in Tianjin roared at the subordinates at the airport: "You will face a great woman! She has leaped over the Eurasian continent! In front of her, you must appear in the best condition! Don't lose the face of our American soldiers! Do you understand?!"

"Yes!!" The soldiers at the airport roared excitedly!

And what is Federica thinking now?! In fact, she didn't think too much. She was just thinking: Dear Tiger, I'm going to find you through thousands of mountains and rivers. But I wonder if you will be waiting for me in Fengtian...!~!
Chapter completed!
