New Warlords 1909

, It will also quickly allow Germany to obtain some of the leading weapon technology of the Chinese. For the tragic Western Front, it will undoubtedly make the situation worse.

There are also many Western people who are very angry at the Jagged Army newspaper's active-duty officers of the National Defense Forces threatening to join the Allied camp. The demonstrations put pressure on the government, demanding that the government take tough measures and severely reject this threat.Only Kaiser Wilhelm II was very excited when he heard the news. He not only paid close attention to the detailed data collected by the Germans about the H-2 bomber and Warrior tank, but also formed a special group to discuss the use of the H-2 bomber and the airship. Which is better.In addition, special secret envoys are dispatched to the Far East, trying to win over this little overlord of the Far East to join the camp of the Allies at all costs.

Just as newspapers in the West, especially in Europe, were discussing the possible new changes in the alliance camp, the latest issue of Time magazine in the United States quickly attracted everyone's attention.There is no other reason, because the cover character of this issue of Time Magazine is Hua Fei!

On the cover of Time Magazine, there is a small profile photo of Hua Fei in military uniform.In the photo, Hua Fei was wearing a black and green cotton military uniform. There were not many decorations on the military uniform, not even a military rank epaulet.But his incomparably standard figure, the cameraman's proper shooting angle, and the proper advantage of grasping Hua Fei's image.That kind of heroic yet elegant charm, that kind of resolute and ruthless yet tolerant mind.Especially the subway blood eighteen star badge on the military cap, reflecting the dazzling light, bathing his whole image in a kind of deified holiness.

Following Hua Fei's calm and deep gaze, standing in front of him was a phalanx of soldiers with no limit.Everyone is wearing winter camouflage uniforms and helmet camouflage hats.Rifles neatly placed on the back, and heavy machine guns and light artillery in front of the phalanx.But it turned out that Hua Fei was captured by a cameraman when Hua Fei was sent off by the Second Army and the Third Army when he went to the front line in Shandong.

If the cover photo of Time Magazine can immediately attract the attention of countless people, then the cover title of this issue will obviously also shock people.The strongest warlord in the Far East!

Pay attention to three key words, the Far East, the strongest, and warlords!Location, concept, and nature are just three keywords that fully summarize Hua Fei and his National Defense Forces.The character feature report was written by Herman himself, with a total of more than 3 words, taking up one-third of the pages of this issue of Time Magazine.

Heman took what he saw and heard in China, from Hua Fei's school, Shanghai Nanyang Public School, to his hometown, a small landlord in the middle of the province, whose father was a Beiyang veteran.He even dug out the fact that Hua Fei was kidnapped by the Lake Bandits.Herman's character reports are very in-depth and extremely objective and fair.In the writing, she made no secret of her personal respect and admiration for Hua Fei.

The exciting part begins with Huafei's entry into Shanghai to create a stock boom, and it continues to the rapid rise of Huafei during the Revolution of [-].Break through Anqing, enter Nanjing, return to the province, and settle in Jianghuai.For the sake of freedom and democracy, he rebelled against the factions of the Beiyang warlords, set off a vigorous Second Revolutionary War, and finally established the territory and political status of the autonomous region today.

The ** part started. Heman briefly described the financial blockade in the autonomous region, and directly focused on the war with Japan.The debut of the [-] naval battle submarine, the sea submarine hunting war, and the bold and unexpected deep strike plan greatly damaged the Japanese port and shipbuilding industry.The blockade and bombing of the Yangtze River Estuary, and the fierceness and tragedy of the [-]th naval battle are all presented in Herman's exquisite writing.

In the documentary interview, Hua Fei's humorous tone and his familiarity with the West, especially the place names and landscapes of the United States, amazed American readers.In particular, as a soldier, he doesn't like war, and he said that war is destruction, the self-destruction of human beings, which is full of infinite hope for peace, and has won the favor of the American people.

"We have no choice. When our national dignity and people's lives are violated, even if we know that we must die, even if we know that we must lose, as a soldier, we must not hesitate. This is not only our duty, but also our honor..."

Hua Fei's explanation of the Japanese war was like a loud noise, shaking the hearts of countless American people.Especially in the picture next to this sentence, Hua Fei's sad eyes combined with his faint expression made him exude a strange charm.

In the entire character biography, there are only three core keywords, legend, legend, or legend!Such a legendary hero not only immediately became the idol of countless American teenagers, but also made many deep-seated girls in this North American country fall in love with him.

As soon as this issue of Time Weekly came out, it was sold out in just three days, setting the fastest sales speed since Time Weekly was first published.Many young men and women bought this weekly magazine back for collection, and some girls in school cut out the color photo of Hua Feidi on the cover and pasted it on the head of the bed.

Such a hot popularity not only overjoyed the executives of Time Magazine, but also drove the sales of many oriental commodities.Time Magazine and many other American newspapers immediately decided to send reporters to Shanghai again to cover the detailed reports of the Shandong Land War. I believe the American people must be very interested.

Time Magazine's report also caused huge repercussions in Europe.Especially as reports of the Shandong war spread to Europe, the first reaction of many people was to not believe it.Second reaction, still don't believe it.Isn't Japan an ally of Britain?Is it the strongest country in the Far East?Why did it fail repeatedly in the hands of a local warlord in China?What is going on in this China?What is their central government doing?Is it true that China is a coalition government of local warlords?

But whether you believe it or not, the governments of Britain, France and other countries are directly facing one of the most urgent choices.One, put more diplomatic pressure on the Japanese government to let them sit back at the negotiating table and withdraw their troops from Shandong, so as to win this legendary Chinese lord to join the camp of the Allied Powers.At the very least, let Hua Fei continue to remain neutral and not fall to the allies.

Second, take tough measures against this Chinese tyrant, military threats, economic blockade, etc. The root cause is to cut off the possibility of him joining Germany, to win Japan to quickly join the camp of the Allied Powers, and to win over the Chinese central government.This method may be more hopeful for countries such as Britain and France, but the biggest problem is that once Hua Fei joins the camp of the Allies, he may receive comprehensive technical assistance from Germany, with huge manpower and resource support. The autonomous region of the three provinces will burst out with unpredictable war potential.

Most importantly, Britain, France and other countries are in the Yangtze River

The interests of the industry will be completely lost, and the United States will not be able to join the blockade.It can block foreign trade in this area, unless it risks offending the Americans.

And relying on the Japanese and the central government of China, there is not much confidence.It may even anger the iron-blooded Chinese and set off a larger-scale war in the Far East.If countries such as Britain and France make the wrong bet, the consequences will be unimaginable.More importantly, the Germans will get the aircraft and tank technology of the autonomous region, which is definitely the biggest taboo for countries such as Britain and France!Moreover, through the resource support of the vast land of the Far East, the war potential of the Germans will undoubtedly be further improved.

Hua Fei seems completely unaware that he has already become a star in North America, Europe and other western societies.After the three-day ultimatum ended, Hua Fei resolutely made a public appearance in Shandong, and issued a clear code power-on, declaration.Since the Japanese turned a blind eye to our communication, and since they are unwilling to leave Shandong peacefully, then we should use planes and tanks to drive them back to the sea!At the same time, I warn any country, any government, not to stand on the side of Japan, and not to send any materials to Japan.

The clear-coded telegram had just been sent, and all the submarine forces in Shanghai Harbor were dispatched, submerged into the open sea, dodging the maritime patrols of the Japanese fleet, and diving towards the vast East China Sea and the off-shore Ryukyu Islands.Their mission is to use the cover of darkness to sink all merchant ships and military ships sailing to Japan in this sea area, regardless of nationality, tonnage, or nature.

One hour after the clear telegram was sent, Hua Fei mobilized almost all of the 200 heavy artillery pieces and 300 light artillery pieces of the National Defense Forces behind the former Japanese third position in Jimo City, and set up a huge artillery position outside Jimo City.

During the three days of the ultimatum to Japan, the soldiers of the National Defense Forces were certainly not idle.In addition to escorting the prisoners, using all transportation channels, countless artillery shells were brought in from the rear to supplement.

After the Japanese army occupied Jimo, many citizens were massacred, and others were conscripted as coolies in the ensuing protracted battle.At this time, Jimo City has completely become a Japanese military fortress, except for soldiers, there are wounded soldiers.But their actions became the beginning of today's nightmare.They would never have imagined that if they hadn't turned Jimo City into what it is today, Hua Fei wouldn't have adopted such a death tactic.

"Fire!" Following Hua Fei's slightly weak command, the artillery positions were fully operational.Boom, boom, boom..., countless shells shot out from the barrel, and the entire artillery position was instantly submerged in white smoke.A round of high-explosive incendiary bombs exploded in Jimo City, and the strong explosion made the ground shake. For the Japanese soldiers at the center of the explosion, the entire Jimo became a hellish existence.

The screams, wailing, pain, and roars were all inaudible, because in their ears, apart from the sound of explosions, they were still explosions.

Although it was the cold winter season, the artillerymen were still sweating profusely, and they still couldn't get out of the line of fire, and the barrels were scorching hot.In order to avoid bombing, the artillerymen simply wrapped the dry snow on the ground with cloth and rubbed it on the barrel.They don't even remember how many shells they fired. Anyway, when they were too tired, the reserve team quickly came up to replace them.And the empty bullet casings removed by the Second Army are even more rare.

During the period, on the ruins of the Jimo city wall, a Japanese soldier took off his white underwear, hung it on the barrel of a gun and stretched out.But before he could shake a few times, boom, he couldn't even find his underwear and the dregs of the bombing.

In the Jiaodong headquarters, Hua Fei was lying on the bed, covered with a thick quilt, and his face looked very bad.He rushed to Shandong before he recovered from his illness last time.After many days of hard work, his body finally stretched to the limit.Under Shen Liangyue's stubborn insistence, he finally stayed in the room instead of going to the front line to watch the battle in person.However, his bedroom also served as the Second Temporary Headquarters.

"What? They've been bombarded all day, but they still haven't surrendered?" Hua Fei said wearily.

"Commander, I assure you, they never surrendered! The gates of the city are closed, and no white flags are set up!" Qin Mu swore.

Of course, the city gate will not be opened, because not only the Japanese soldiers near the city gate are dead, but the city gate has also been bombed and collapsed, so it cannot be opened at all!It's not that there was no white flag, but every time it was erected, it was hit by the opponent's shells.I really don't know if the opponent's commander is short-sighted, or the opponent's artillery artillery is particularly accurate, it is clear that they are not given a chance to surrender!

Hua Fei coughed again and frowned, but he felt extremely surprised in his heart.This Japanese is much more tenacious than imagined, well, since you still haven't surrendered, let's fulfill your loyalty to serve your emperor!

"Pass my order, do our best to move the shells, if they don't surrender for a day, we will keep shelling until we run out of shells, if they still don't surrender, we will launch a full-scale attack, it must be decided in one battle , no mistakes are allowed!"

"Yes!" Qin Mu shouted and left.

This kind of shelling continued for another whole day on the second day. In the evening, the staff meeting estimated that even if there were still living creatures in Jimo City, there might be very few of them.And they also hope to have a decisive battle as soon as possible, otherwise Hua Fei will not go back after the war department is over.Everyone was very worried about Hua Fei's body, worried that if this dragged on, Commander Hua would not be able to hold on.Immediately after collectively asking for Hua Fei's orders, Jiang Baili and Zhang Xiaozhun went to the front line to command.The first army and the third army were the main force, and the second army was the auxiliary force. Under the darkness, they launched a full-scale attack on Jimo City.

Not only was Jiang Baili and others by surprise, but also the main attacking fighters of the First Army and the Third Army were also very surprised.Because they met little resistance.As soon as they rushed into Jimo City, what caught their eyes was either mutilated limbs or broken arms, or moaning and wailing.All the Japanese soldiers who were still alive raised their hands and surrendered without thinking about it, weeping bitterly.

It was night, and Jimo City was completely recovered amid scattered gunfire.In this battle, except for a dozen soldiers who were accidentally injured by stray bullets, no one was killed.The captives slightly injured more than 3000 Japanese soldiers, and more than 5000 Japanese soldiers were seriously injured. The corpses are difficult to count because they are all torn apart.

According to the estimation of the field hospital of the National Defense Forces, even if these seriously injured Japanese soldiers were treated with all their strength, they could only save 3000 to [-] people at most.The problem is that they have started to lack medical supplies at present.The city of Jimo was recovered, and the battle on the eastern front of the Shandong battlefield came to an end.This last battle not only broke the Japanese government's psychology, but also made Britain, France and other countries quickly make up their minds.

Everything is changing.Changing one's own country is also changing the world.A new dawn, the sun, is about to rise.

0 Japan surrenders

The National Defense Forces field hospital estimated that even if these seriously injured Japanese soldiers tried their best, they could only save 3000 people at most.The problem is that they have started to lack medical supplies at present.The city of Jimo was recovered, and the battle on the eastern front of the Shandong battlefield came to an end.This last battle not only broke the Japanese government's psychology, but also made Britain, France and other countries quickly make up their minds.

Everything is changing.Changing one's own country is also changing the world.A new dawn, the sun, is about to rise.

At a time when the eyes of the whole country and the world are mostly focused on the follow-up changes in the Shandong battlefield and the actions the Japanese government will take, two unattractive pieces of news have caused many caring people to weep and lament. Of.

On January [-], Da Guomin Daily reported the news that United Energy Group (formerly Sino-German United Energy) signed exclusive supply contracts with Shaanxi Yanchang, Yijun and other oil exploration companies, and sold all the crude oil mined in these places to United Energy. Yangzhou Yangzi Comprehensive Refinery under the Group.

This news report also briefly described the company background of the United Energy Group, which was originally a comprehensive energy company jointly invested by the Star Group under the name of Hua Fei and the German government. The scale of its capital investment and the machinery and equipment, talent and technology invested by the Germans are unprecedented in East Asia.This is also extremely displeased by countries such as Britain and France, and it is regarded as the biggest example of Germany's occupation of Britain's inherent sphere of influence. It is also one of the most conspicuous cooperation projects between Huafei and Germany in many close cooperation projects.

It was just that after the completion of the first phase of oil refining equipment in the Yangzi Oil Refinery, there was no progress in oil exploration, so we had to buy crude oil from abroad and start trial production.Later, after a Japanese company failed to explore oil in the province and went bankrupt, Xingkong Group sold the fixed assets of that Japanese company at a very low price and increased its investment and equity in United Energy Corporation.However, the three wells drilled successively in northern Jiangsu, central Jiangsu, and southern Jiangsu all lost their money.

After the outbreak of World War I, German finances began to strain.Not only did he suspend the investment of the United Energy Company, but he also discounted it at a low price to buy his urgently needed supplies and weapons from the autonomous region.

Such as gunpowder, ammunition, firearms, and even airplanes!Therefore, the current United Energy Company is actually the sole and wholly-owned enterprise of the Star Group.

The Grand National News didn’t say much after the brief introduction, but it is very easy for people with discerning eyes to understand one piece of news in this message, that is, United Energy Group is a wholly-owned enterprise of Hua Fei, United Energy Group is controlled by the National Defense Forces, United Energy Group Reached a joint agreement with China's first domestic crude oil exploration company.

The extended oil exploration took only a few years, and its founder was Cao Hongxun, who was later hailed as China Petroleum No.1.Although the equipment of these oil fields is backward, the annual output of oil fields is only more than [-] tons, and the number of workers is less than [-], but this poor crude oil is of great significance to Huafei's autonomous region when shipping is blocked.If Yanchang and other oil wells can get equipment and technical assistance from the autonomous region, it is believed that it will not be difficult to increase production in a short period of time.

It turns out that all oil from Yanchang and other places was exported to Japan via the Yellow River.Some kerosene and heavy oil are also produced locally.But after Hua Fei declared war on Japan.A regiment of the National Defense Forces stationed in Jinan.Intercepted all crude oil ships on the Yellow River bound for Japan.Oil stocks in Yanchang and other places are increasing.And the National Defense Forces of the autonomous region have won great victories again and again in Shandong.But it was the root cause that finally prompted the signing of this cooperation agreement.

If only this one message.Maybe it will only make some people sigh.What really made many people weep bitterly is.According to the latest news from the National Daily.The fourth drilling well in Zhenjiang and the fifth drilling well in Yangzhou.One after another in the formation below 1000 meters.Drilled into the oil flower.According to the analysis of technical personnel.Preliminary estimate is to drill into the oil field.Very valuable for mining.

How can you say that this news does not make the Germans and those Japanese cry bitterly.Even some Americans.They have invested a lot of money in China.But the oil field was never found.Then it is concluded that China is a continental sedimentary strata.There can be no oil fields.But it is where they assert that there are no oil fields.In the central Soviet Union where even German engineers are desperate.Breakthrough discoveries were made in two wells successively.It's not just those investors who regret it.Also in petroleum researcher circles.It caused quite a stir.

When Hua Fei received the news in Shandong.His first reaction was to breathe a sigh of relief.Although he knows that Jiangsu definitely has oil.But how did he know where the oil field was.I don't even know how difficult it is to mine.Such a huge investment.Rao is that he has the bottom of his heart.None of them were uneasy.Not to mention those chief officials of the Star Group.If there is no oil anymore.He can only suspend the drilling project.After all, there are too many places to spend money at present.Funding for many projects began to tighten.

Now that the location of the oil well is determined.After a quick investigation to determine.The oil can be fully drilled out.It can not only solve the problem of strategic oil consumption at the fastest speed.It can also export a lot to create foreign exchange.In the golden years of World War I.Develop your own petrochemical industry very quickly.

There is too much information revealed behind these two news.However, it is far less shocking than another public statement of the self-government government.Mr. Sun Wen, chairman of the coalition government of the autonomous region, is on the last day of January.A press conference was held suddenly.Notified the overall situation of the Jimo Battle in Shandong.And formally inform the Japanese side at the briefing.The National Defense Forces currently have more than 2 Japanese prisoners.Nearly half of them were seriously injured Japanese soldiers.
