In this era, in the words of poor literati, China did indeed present a scene of destruction of the world.

What is the destruction of the world? Since all Chinese dynasties have mixed their courts and countries, the destruction of a dynasty is called the destruction of the country. Similar to the Yuan Dynasty and the Song Dynasty, the Qing Dynasty and the Ming Dynasty were not simply the destruction of the country, but the destruction of the world. The Han people, as the main ethnic group, became slaves to foreign invaders. The most serious of them was the Qing Dynasty. The entire Han people were proud of being slaves to Manchus. It was too far-fetched. The role played by Confucianism in this way was so glorious. Whether it was the Donglin Party or Ji Xiaolan, they were typical representatives.

In the Republic of China, China, which had finally overturned the Eight Banners system that was above the Han people, faced the situation of destroying the world again. The first one was that it was Japan, but the Soviet Union, which could destroy China.

Looking at world history, what is more afraid of than invasion? It is the explanation and assessment of anti-aggression and crime. Under the guise of liberating all mankind, revolutions can be exported everywhere and the original hostile countries can be turned into their own franchise countries. Those who dare to resist are not only patriots, but also become so-called class enemies. Without Soviet Russia's actions, they will be eliminated by their own compatriots in the name of revolution. Soviet-style communism (having nothing to do with Marx) replaced Islam and became the fastest-expanding existence.

China is very unlucky. It is actually a neighbor of such a terrifying country. What's worse is that China itself is still divided and the long-accumulated social contradictions broke out collectively in this era, and there is no solution at all. If it weren't for the red of the East and the rising sun, in the history we can foresee, China might have become part of many Soviet republics (most of China's Jiangxi Province, part of Fujian Province, Anhui, Henan, and Hubei, Hunan Xiangxi region collectively applied to join the Soviet Union, but was politely rejected by Stalin). The Soviet Union might not have disintegrated in 1989, and the red flag might have really penetrated the world. However, the Soviet Union still made great contributions to China's redification. The first was to forcibly liberate Outer Mongolia, which had returned to the embrace of the motherland in 1919, in the name of pursuing Belarus, and then shot the Mongolian living Buddha. The Buddha could only lament. Fortunately, the law of nature is circulating, and the cause and effect are at the end. The second one is infiltration into Xinjiang. Comrade Sheng Shicai, the ruler of Xinjiang, once pressured to join the Communist Party of the Soviet Union gloriously. It is said that the introducer is still our father, Joseph Stalin. However, the Soviet Union obviously believed that Sheng Shicai, a Northeast deception, quietly organized the so-called national autonomous army in Xinjiang. Sure enough, Comrade Sheng Shicai was unwilling to be with the Soviet Union later, and he really rebelled. The Soviet Union immediately fully supported the Xinjiang National Autonomous Army to rebel. Oh no, it should be a revolution. Unfortunately, Tao Zhiyue then commanded 100,000 national troops to enter Xinjiang. In the end, Xinjiang was not called a glorious member of the Soviet Union. Until many years later, the Xinjiang region was still making trouble. Coincidentally, every time they caused trouble, the Russian leaders were always the first to jump out to condemn them, as if these people really had nothing to do with them Russia.

As for how many disgusting things the Soviet Union did to the New China later, I won’t mention them one by one. Anyway, in a word, how can China not be developed, what the Soviet Union will do.

The Soviet Union ultimately failed to realize the dream of conquering the world because he was beaten up by another guy who had the same dream. Although he won in the end, he also damaged his muscles and vitality, so the world became peaceful. The guy who dared to beat the Soviet Union was called Hitler, the scientific name of the Great Devil.

The second one that could destroy China was naturally Japan. At least that was what Japan thought at the time, but in fact, Japan's military power bullied the colonial armies of China and Britain and France. Being able to bully China had to be based on decades of infighting among the Chinese. At least in the late Qing Dynasty, the largest steel mill in Asia was the Hanyang Iron and Steel Factory, and China's total economic output was still not as good as Japan.

In fact, if we look at the history of World War II many years later, the Japanese would not be able to compete for world hegemony. Their participation in the war was more like committing suicide. But we China should not be proud. Japan could at least think about it at that time, but we didn’t even have the qualifications to think about it.

There were only two winners in World War II, one was the United States, the other was the Soviet Union, France, Britain, and China claimed to be one of the five major powers. In fact, it seemed like a nominee. Britain and France lost the entire empire's colonies at one time, and the locals became second-rate powers. The worst was that China almost consumed all its national destiny, and paid a huge price to hold the Japanese back. In the end, they didn't even see war reparations and war dividends. Chiang Kai-shek and the Kuomintang regime, who paid a huge price in the war against Japan, were even driven out of the mainland and became synonyms for passive resistance. The only ones in the war of resistance seemed to be Zhang Ga, a soldier with a slingshot. This was a magical situation? Then those who waited for the Chinese nation were naturally happy for decades.

What Wang Zhenyu has to do now is to avoid this tragedy from happening again.

And this first step is to unify the south. In Wang Zhenyu's thinking, unifying China is currently a bit difficult.

This difficulty does not mean how powerful the Beiyang Army or Fengtian Army in the north are. The Beiyang Army that can be fought has become history in this war of protection of the country. At present, the shadows of these people can be seen in the labor camps secretly established by the Youth Army and the newly recruited troops. As for the Fengtian army, it is estimated that these Northeast soldiers are much more powerful than their hands and feet. Moreover, in this era, Zhang Zuolin has not even become the governor of Fengtian.

The reason why Wang Zhenyu is really unwilling to raise troops to go north is that China is too weak and lacks sufficient military industry as the basis to support the national defense force is weak and unreliable. It is not difficult to go north to defeat the Beiyang army at this time, but not to mention the opposition of the great powers, just sending troops from Japan is enough for Wang Zhenyu to drink a pot. The invincible propaganda slogan of the young army is that the officers and soldiers from the middle and lower classes are immune to Wang Zhenyu himself.

So Wang Zhenyu thought about it over and over again and thought that he should not engage in the Northern Expedition. When this power is insufficient, it is better not to rashly stimulate the great powers led by the Japanese. Moreover, at this time, the Japanese's appetite was not as big as that later, and their government was still in power, so they were satisfied with being domineering in the north of China to obtain benefits. As for the south, it was not the strength of the Japanese Empire.

Under such an external environment, Wang Zhenyu planned to develop the economy and industry in the south first, and then talk about other things. In his opinion, Japan is not as big as Hunan. If he can integrate the resources of the entire South China, then the next step is to integrate the resources of the entire South China, and it may not be impossible to fight against Japan. It is important to know that Chiang Kai-shek in history only integrated the resources of Jiangsu and Zhejiang provinces. He could defeat Yan Xishan and Feng Yuxiang to the north, and Chen Jitang and Li Zongren and others could force them to step down. After that, relying on Sichuan Province, he could still fight with the Japanese for so long. How powerful would it be if he had integrated the entire South China into one? Wang Zhenyu thought maliciously.

Since Chiang Kai-shek did not do it, Wang Zhenyu might as well do it. So, Wang Zhenyu summoned two of his advisers Yang Du and Yang Yongtai to his side, and the three of them closed the door to discuss the solution.

"I think it's a very good time to unify the southwest now, especially the letters from General Cai E are of great use to us." Yang Yongtai is now basically the nominal governor of Hubei Province. The government affairs of Hubei Province are now chaired by Tang Xiangming, the former governor of Hunan. This kind of brother is more capable of seeing the wind than his brother. After resigning from the governor of Hunan, he immediately applied to join the Kuomintang Party, and rushed to Wuhan overnight to ask for a meeting with Wang Zhenyu to express his effectiveness, and Wang Zhenyu was short of soup. People like Xiangming, who have social reputation, naturally hit it off and appointed the director of the Hubei Provincial Government Affairs Office. Now the establishment of provincial governments is different from that of the Beiyang Government. They imitate the old system in Xiangxi and set up the three offices, the Government Affairs Office, the Finance Office and the Law Office. The Government Affairs Office are in charge of various departments. In this way, even if Yang Yongtai, the governor, does not care about anything, the Hubei Provincial Government will operate as usual. It doesn’t matter if the governor cannot find the signature of the governor. The provincial parliament can implement the bill, but it will be considered to be officially effective after the governor’s signature.

"Brother Changqing said very much, but the commissioner, Tang Jiyao and others are absolutely good. Even with Cai E's direct lineup, it would probably take some time to win the three southwestern provinces without bloodshed. It is not difficult to set up a province in Xikang, but it is difficult in Tibet. And the biggest problem is to be clear. The great powers are now busy with European wars, and Duan Qirui from Beijing has been eyeing us. If we move, he will probably move." Although Yang Du is not in the official position, Li Yuanhong's amnesty order has been issued and his wanted to be cancelled. It is estimated that Yang Du will be released in a year or two. This is what he has been looking forward to, so he will naturally spare no effort to make suggestions now.

Wang Zhenyu nodded and said, "This Duan Qirui is indeed a trouble. We will not only unify the southwest, but also send hundreds of thousands of troops to expedition to Europe. It is not enough to have such a vicious wolf behind us."

Yang Du laughed at the sound of the words and said, "But I have a solution here. Their direct relationship is not a special one, and Beijing is not a member of Duan Qirui. As long as we make good use of Li Yuanhong's great reputation and find veterans like Cao Kun to fight Duan Qirui in this Beiyang, he probably won't have the energy to go south."

Wang Zhenyu said happily: "I have Mr. Xizi, it's really like a tiger with wings."

After a while, Wang Zhenyu said, "It's just that you are not suitable for you to go to Mr. Xizi. The old generals of Beiyang attributed the responsibility of the restoration of the old Yuan to Mr. Changqing. I think it's most appropriate for you to go there. As for Mr. Xizi, you should give you the matter in the southwest. I will now order to appoint Mr. Xizi as the director of the Southwest Terminal of the Military Commission to coordinate the affairs of the southwest."

Yang Du was overjoyed when he heard this: "I am willing to pacify the southwest for the commission."
