Brother Liyi:

(1) A Red Army unit has been dispatched to Fushi to take over defense. It is unknown whether the militia inside the city will resist.

(2) Enlai set out this morning and will arrive at Fushi on the evening of the 16th tomorrow.

(3) Please dispatch an aircraft on the morning of the 16th to inspect the Fushi airfield. Upon seeing the characters "Tian Xia" (Under Heaven), land and receive Zhou.

(4) How are the negotiations with Liu of Sichuan and Yan of Shanxi proceeding?
