super god warlord

The Hualan Communist Party wants to fully support the National Congress Party, gain central power as soon as possible, and promote the unification of Hualan, but things often go back and forth, especially when it comes to matters related to the fate of the country.All sides that remained neutral were more or less drawn into the civil war.

It turned out that in the stalemate between the two sides, Feng Yuxiang's Central South Army gradually gained the upper hand in the confrontation with the two direct armies relying on its own strong combat effectiveness and the secret weapon support from the Western Special Zone.In order to force back Qilu's immediate army and let the Central South Army turn from defense to attack, Feng Yuxiang did not send the reserve team to the front line. Instead, he marched lightly, bypassing Qilu Province and directly attacking Zhili.

After the end of the second Zhifeng war, Feng Yuxiang originally supported troops in Zhili, but both Zhifeng factions were born in the northern warlords after all.Cao Kun lowered his stance and invited Zhang Zuolin to be the president. In order to consolidate his newly acquired territory, the Feng family forced Feng Yuxiang to Central South Province, and Zhili Province was divided equally between the two.

Zhang Zuolin did not kill the Zhili, mostly because of the aggressive revolutionary military government in eastern Guangdong. He hoped that the Zhili could act as pawns to fight against the Northern Expedition first, so that the Fengli could sit on the mountain and watch the tigers fight.Zhang Zuolin's idea has been realized, and the Zhili and the Northern Expeditionary Army really fought, but Feng Yuxiang, who was originally thought to remain neutral, unexpectedly joined the Northern Expeditionary Army.

Such a force would not have disrupted the balance of military power between the two sides, but with the secret import of weapons from the Western Special Zone, Feng Yuxiang's power grew stronger day by day.When he suddenly sent troops to Zhili, the Zhili was caught off guard and conquered Beihua City in one fell swoop, and the situation changed dramatically.

-------------Chapter Dividing Line---------------

The Central South Army took control of half of Zhili in one fell swoop, encircling Qilu Province.In addition, in order to build momentum, Feng Yuxiang listened to his subordinates' suggestions and invited Duan Ruiquan, who had retired from Tianfeng City, to serve as the temporary governor of Beihua City.

Since the fall of the Anhui Clan, Duan Ruiquan has no troops but his prestige is still there. Even if Feng Yuxiang is sure of this, he hopes to use his prestige to be easy to control.Duan Ruiquan came to power again, which really made both Zhifeng and Fengzong feel uneasy.

Although the two factions of Zhi and Feng once joined forces to defeat the Anhui faction, there are still remnants of forces in various places. If these people start to support the Northern Expedition, the end of the Zhili can be foreseen.What's more, now that they occupy Beihua City and control the righteousness of the central government, the situation is even more unfavorable to Zhili.

Faced with such a critical situation, Zhang Zuolin knew that he could no longer remain silent, otherwise, if his lineage collapsed, he would be the next to die.In order to achieve unexpected results, the Feng family made a request for assistance to the Wa country.

Although the Japanese economy recovered rapidly in the past two years and quickly exceeded the level before the earthquake, the stronger development speed of the Western Special Zone has always worried the Japanese government.They knew very well in their hearts that if the Wa country wants to rise, it must occupy the land of the Hualan country. Its new prime minister Tanaka Yoshiichi even wrote a letter to the emperor, claiming that if he wants to conquer the world, he must first conquer Hualan, and if he wants to conquer Hualan, he must first conquer Ming. north.

Tanaka Yoshiichi's idea is not wrong, but there is a certain gap between the idea and reality.The Hualan Kingdom is too large. If it weakens, the Wa Kingdom still has a chance. Once the entire country is under the control of the Western Special Zone, they will be doomed forever.

In the past few years after the war, the idea of ​​unifying the country in the Western Special Zone was repeatedly blocked by various countries, and the Japanese country played a very important role in it.However, the Western Special Zone is getting stronger year by year. Seeing that the Wa Kingdom is difficult to shake this powerful opponent, they can only use intrigue.

This time Zhang Zuolin's invitation to send troops made all the high-ranking officials in the military and political circles of the Wa Kingdom happy. They knew that the long-awaited opportunity had finally come.The Wa country quickly agreed to Zhang Zuolin's request to send troops, but in order not to let the other party think that they had other plans, they euphemistically stated that they could only send a navy to escort the Feng army to land in Tianfeng City.

Zhang Zuolin was obviously more at ease about the Japanese country's practice of not sending an army. He immediately agreed to the other party's conditions and said that he would give appropriate rewards afterwards.In this way, under the cover of the four active battleships sent by the Japanese state, the Feng army rushed directly into the Bohai Bay.

After receiving the news that the other party sent troops, the Central South Army of Feng Yuxiang's department held on to the defense fortifications and fought back against the Japanese army's attack at Dagukou. The two sides fought fiercely on the coastline.Fortunately, after absorbing the failure lessons of the Houjin government, the successive Beihuacheng central governments have spared no effort to invest in coastal defense fortifications.After years of construction, Dagukou not only has a strong reinforced concrete fortress, but also several large-caliber fortress guns and a large number of small-caliber artillery to assist in the battle. In addition, Feng Yuxiang deployed a large number of sea mines supported by the Red Alliance on the seashore, making the sea defense impregnable.The two sides fought fiercely for two hours. A Japanese cruiser was damaged and the entire fleet was forced to retreat. The defenders of Dagukou only died of more than ten people.

Wa Kingdom, which has already connected many countries in the Western Continent, immediately issued a note, inviting all countries to support it.With the support of the Saar Empire and the Gaul Kingdom, the Wa Kingdom brazenly united with the six countries of the Western Continent to issue an ultimatum to the Beihua City Government, demanding that the Central South Army dismantle the defense facilities at Dagukou.Such an unreasonable request was opposed by a large number of people in Zhili. Under the mobilization of hidden Communist Party members, tens of thousands of people in Beihua City gathered in front of the government to protest, demanding that the government reject the seven-nation ultimatum.

Duan Ruiquan was not in the ruling government at the time. When the angry crowd stormed the government office and asked Duan Ruiquan to come out to answer everyone's questions, the troops stationed here actually opened fire.

When Duan Ruiquan rushed back to the ruling government after hearing the news, the situation was irreversible. Forty-seven protesters were shot and killed on the spot, and more than two hundred people were injured.After this incident, Duan Ruiquan's government was immediately denounced by various forces in the country.The Western Special Zone also sent a call demanding severe punishment for the murderer, and at the same time stated that Hualan State's diplomatic power had been transferred to the Western Special Zone, and the Beihuacheng government had no right to intervene in any diplomatic matters.

Zhao Shouhong suddenly declared that he would take over all the pressure from the Seven Kingdoms, making all the warlords in the country lose their voices.At this time, some people dared to take over the ultimatum of the great powers. Obviously, everyone did not understand what the Western Special Zone was going to do, but the situation soon became clear.

Before the representatives of the seven countries submitted an ultimatum to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Shu Capital, the Western Special Zone suddenly announced a partial mobilization order, and soon the Southwest Military Region, Northern Military Region, and Southern Military Region all entered a state of emergency war, and various field armies began to move to the border areas, threatening The colonies of Saar, Gaul, and Wa have a posture of one against three.

The sudden tough action of the Western Special Zone and the large and frequent mobilization of troops have caused headaches for the Three Kingdoms.The combined military strength of the three countries is much stronger than that of the Western Special Zone, but that refers to the naval strength. If the army is counted, the West Special Army, which is becoming more and more famous, is definitely under tremendous pressure.Now, because of the continuous expansion of the territory of the Western Special Zone, the colonies of the three countries have land boundaries with them. Once Zhao Shouhong turns his back on him, the three countries will suffer huge losses.

Among the three kingdoms, the Saar Empire is the most wary of rats. Although the establishment of the Zhaini Republic caused the Saar Empire to lose a large number of colonies, it also had a buffer zone with the Western Special Zone, which greatly improved the situation of being attacked on three sides. Another important direction was not so lucky.

As the lifeline of the Saar Empire, the Suez Canal was responsible for [-]% of the blood transfusion from the Saar Empire colonies to the mainland. Once this place fell, it would be equivalent to jamming the Saar Empire's neck.Now that the southern military region of the Western Special Zone is gathering troops, Liu Chengxun's Department of the Ninth Mechanized Army is gathering in the northern part of the Arabian Province. They are about to attack the Sinai Peninsula and conquer the Suez Canal in one fell swoop. How can this not scare the Saar Empire.

Unknowingly, the Saar Empire already had the intention of retreating. They began to send representatives to contact the Western Special Administrative Region in private, hoping that the two sides could maintain friendship as much as possible.Zhao Shouhong's vision is very unique. He knows that although the Seven Kingdoms exert pressure, the other four small nations are just studying with the crown prince. The Saar Empire, the Gaul Kingdom, and the Wa Kingdom really play a leading role. Ultimately achieve the goal of preserving national power.

Chapter One Thousand and Twelve Decisive Rejection

For the first olive branch extended by the Saar people, the Western Special Zone was very enthusiastic. Cao Rulin, as the negotiator, said that as long as the Saar Empire remained neutral on issues involving the sovereignty of the Hualan Kingdom, the Western Special Zone would support the other side in international affairs. .In addition, Cao Rulin privately hinted that the Western Special Administrative Region government recently discovered that some private companies were secretly exporting weapons to the Zhaini Republic.

Saar Empire naturally understands the favor of the Western Special Zone. Saar Empire has complaints about Wa Kingdom, a little brother who is getting more and more difficult to control. This time they finally decided to give up each other.With the idea of ​​teaching Wa a little lesson and making it more docile, the Saar Empire first withdrew its representatives.The seven-nation joint delegation had already been weakened before it arrived at the capital of Shu.

On April 1926, 4, the remaining six-nation joint delegation arrived in Shudu City. At this moment, the whole country focused on the Western Special Zone. He wanted to see how Zhao Shouhong would deal with this matter.This time, Sun Baoqi, Minister of Foreign Affairs of the Western Special Zone, took the lead in person, assisted by Vice Minister Gu Weijun, and negotiated with the representatives of the six countries.

The representative of Japan, Matsuoka Yosuke, accused at the beginning of the negotiations: "Your country's army bombarded our warships unreasonably, and my loyal and brave marines were forced to fight back, causing huge casualties. In order to prevent this from happening again, your country must dismantle all Coastal fortifications and compensation and apology, otherwise the Allied Forces of the Seven Nations will carry out limited punishment.” In order to strengthen the momentum, although the Saar Empire has made it clear that it will withdraw, Yosuke Matsuoka will include it in the Group of Seven as a bargaining chip against the Hualan Kingdom.

Gu Weijun sneered and said, "I don't know where your country's warships were bombarded?"

"Of course it's at Dagukou." Matsuoka Yosuke said confidently.

"Your country's warships sent warships into Dagu Port without sending a diplomatic letter in advance. Even if they were shelled, they deserved it. This is in line with international law and international practice." Gu Weijun said.

Matsuoka Yosuke is obviously relying on the support of several countries, and doesn't take Hualan Kingdom seriously at all. Perhaps he also hopes that the other party will become angry and declare war on the other countries, so that they can form the Eight-Nation Alliance to invade the territory of Hualan Kingdom as they did more than 20 years ago. . "Our country is here for international justice, and it is an act of justice. You should not obstruct anything."

Obviously, the arrogant Matsuoka Yosuke misidentified the target and overestimated his allies. Sun Baoqi suddenly said: "According to Mr. Matsudaira, our country has decided to send a fleet into Sagami Bay. In order to avoid misunderstanding, your country All coastal defense fortifications should be dismantled, and the port should be opened to our country unconditionally, so that it is in line with international justice."

Sun Baoqi's words caused a burst of laughter, but also made Matsuoka Yosuke angry: "If your country insists on going its own way, it will be counterattacked by the international community. We do not promise not to use force, and we have already safeguarded the rights and interests of all countries."

"Then you can try it out. We will also take any form of retaliation against the Wa country. I am here to tell your country not to play with fire and set yourself on fire. Any military action against the Hualan country will suffer endless counterattacks, Sit The army, the sea, the land and the air will do their best to make the aggressor country suffer what it deserves." Sun Baoqi said firmly, without any room for maneuver.After saying this, he turned his head and left, and the other attendants also left the venue.

Sun Baoqi's words made Matsuoka Yoyou ecstatic. He knew that the opportunity to unite countries to fight against Hualan had come.As long as the Hualan Kingdom can be defeated again, the opportunity for the rise of the Wa Kingdom is at hand.Seeing that there were no people from the Western District in the house, Matsuoka Yosuke turned to Nick, the special envoy of the Gaul Kingdom who had not spoken, his face was already ashen.

"Mr. Nick, you should have heard just now that the Hualan people are so rude and completely disregarding the legitimate rights and interests of all countries. What do you think?" Yosuke Matsuoka knew there was something wrong when he saw the other party's face, and he quickly challenged .

Nick stood up abruptly and said, "I will notify the country as soon as possible. This kind of government that despises the Gaul Republic must be punished as it should."

For white people who are accustomed to arrogance, it is only natural that people of yellow race are in the position of slaves. Even though the economies of Hualan and Wa have risen in a straight line in recent years, approaching or surpassing the economic strength of Gaul, his thinking is still the same. no change.

How could Special Envoy Nick bear such a tough answer from the Western District, and the threatening approach in the end.The military conflict between the two sides as allies back then resulted in a major general being sent to justice, embarrassing Gaul in front of the whole world.So these years, the Gaul Kingdom has always held a grudge, and they always tripped the Hualan Kingdom in international affairs because of this matter.Now that the Wa country is taking the lead in making troubles, the Gaul country naturally joined in firmly, but unexpectedly, they were directly slapped in the face here.

Regarding the resoluteness of the Western Special Administrative Region, Special Envoy Nick did not continue the negotiation. He directly chose to return to China, and at the same time informed the domestic government of the attitude of the Western Special Administrative Region.Wa has always wanted to bring Gaul to join the war, and the two countries joined forces to defeat the Western Special Zone, so that the rich industrial facilities in the special zone will allow Wa to get whatever it wants, and they will become a world-class industrial power.Therefore, when Special Envoy Nick left, Japanese Special Envoy Matsuoka Yosuke left the Western Special Zone without any hesitation.

Other countries followed suit, and since the major countries have retreated, they also chose to leave.The strong refusal of the Western Special Zone has boosted the morale of the people across the country, but many people of insight have also expressed concern.The two major international powers, Wa and Gaul, put pressure together, but the Western Special Zone did not show any face. Once they join hands to invade Hualan, the situation will be out of control.Some people even asserted that the Western Special Zone's move was to lure the other party to invade Hualan Kingdom, so as to attack the forces of the warlords along the coast.

Such remarks were widely circulated, which made Feng Yuxiang uneasy. Although he became famous because of the Dagukou Anti-Japanese War as a party involved, he knew very well in his heart that once the two sides went to war, the Central South Army would have no chance.But if he withdraws from Zhili now, it is tantamount to showing weakness first, which will cause great damage to his reputation. Now he can only bite the bullet and stick to it here, praying for God's favor.

However, Feng Yuxiang felt that Zhao Shouhong still had a good impression of him, otherwise he would not have written to win him over at the beginning, and had always supported his Central South Army with weapons.Now that the Western Special Administrative Region has taken this matter over, it seems that it also has the meaning of defending itself.He had a vague feeling that Zhao Shouhong regarded him very highly. Maybe the Western Special Zone would lend a helping hand when the Central South Army was in crisis.

Chapter One Thousand and Thirteen

No matter whether the big powers' attack comes or not, Feng Yuxiang must first suppress the impact of the tragedy, not to mention the Western Special Zone has already spoken out, he can't let this last straw also lose confidence in himself.Feng Yuxiang was very decisive in his work. He first forced Duan Ruiquan to take the blame and resign, and then resigned by telegram. Then he announced that the military military police would set up military courts to openly try military personnel involved in the tragedy.

This trial was transparent, open and fair, which can be called a pioneering move in Hualan's legal history, and thus attracted tens of thousands of people to watch.Feng Yuxiang was also decisive in the killing. After asking the truth, all the main responsible persons and shooters were executed on the spot, which aroused applause from the masses.

Through this series of actions, Feng Yuxiang calmed down the emotions of the people and restored his reputation.The only one who was unlucky was Duan Ruiquan. Although he was not there at the time, it was his guards who fired the shots.

By the time Feng Yuxiang threw a thunderbolt to appease the anger of the people in Beihua City, in the Mingbei area, the exchange of fire between the Wa Kingdom and the Western Special Zone had already begun.The reason why Wa Kingdom is full of confidence and wants to compete with the West Army is because its army's weapons and equipment have been greatly improved in recent years.

As early as World War I, the Saar Empire put tanks on the battlefield for the first time, which attracted the attention of the high-level Japanese.After the war, they introduced the Mark VII tank from Japan for research, and later introduced the advanced Vickers light tank.According to the research on these two tanks, Japan has mastered a certain technical basis for tank manufacturing, and began to conduct its own tank research on this basis.Because of the stimulation of tank equipment troops in the Western Special Zone, Japan's self-produced tanks have received great attention, which made its first self-produced tank come out five years ahead of schedule.

In the second half of 2584, also in the year [-] of the Japanese era, the Type [-] tank was officially equipped with troops.This Japanese-made light tank uses a [-]-horsepower six-cylinder in-line water-cooled gasoline engine produced by the Japanese Nakajima Company. It has a maximum speed of [-] kilometers per hour and a maximum stroke of [-] kilometers. It has a frontal armor of [-] mm and a door of [-] mm tank gun.

Wa was very satisfied with this type of tank, and immediately announced the deployment of the most elite army divisions.However, the output of Type [-] tanks is not high, and it is difficult to meet the needs of all troops. In order to form combat effectiveness as soon as possible, Japan purchased a large number of Renault FT-[-] tanks and some Saar Empire Vik tanks from Gaul as a temporary supplement. Mixed with the Type [-] tank.

This time, it is the Ninth Independent Tank Brigade equipped with a large number of tanks that is going to test the West Army.The idea of ​​the Japanese army is very clear, first conduct a small-scale conflict on the border, test the strength of the West Army, and at the same time give the opponent a blow.This can not only boost the morale of one's own side, but also make the Gaul country have sufficient confidence in attacking the West Army, which can be said to kill two birds with one stone.

The cunning Japanese army chose one of the weakest opponents, the newly formed Beiji Province Garrison Division less than two years old.According to the establishment of the tank brigade of the Japanese army, each tank brigade headquarters has 11 people and is equipped with three Renault command tanks.The brigade has two tank wings under its jurisdiction, each with 1071 people, and the wing headquarters has 90 people, equipped with two Vick tanks or Renault tanks, and one Type 3 tank.Each wing consists of four tank squadrons, each equipped with twelve tanks; one artillery tank squadron, equipped with ten Mark I gun vehicles purchased from the Saar Empire, and another tank squadron for carrying luggage. The squadron has 76 heavy machine guns and [-] trucks.

A chariot brigade with more than 2000 people attacked the 1-man garrison of Beiji Province. It seemed to be quite a disadvantage, but in fact it was not.A tank brigade is equipped with 104 tanks, 20 artillery vehicles, and more than 100 trucks. The lineup can be described as very strong.

On the other hand, the garrison division of Beiji Province, because the garrison is only equipped with pure infantry, the entire army does not have any mechanized equipment such as artillery vehicles, tanks, etc. They even carry artillery with only trucks, and the largest caliber artillery in the entire army is only one It's just a [-]mm howitzer.

Regarding the weapons and equipment of the garrison division, the Wa Kingdom has a good source of information. They believe that using tank brigades to attack will ensure victory.

The Japanese didn't want to fight the West Army as soon as they came up. They would rather let the Gaul Army fight the West Army first.In order to achieve this goal, a clean and small victory, a battle in which 2000 people defeated 1 people was necessary, even if the result was just an imaginary number.
