Beiyang reactionaries

But this time, I don't know what happened. They didn't fight much, so they surrendered.Qamdo, the most important city on the Sichuan-Tibet border, was captured by the Tibetan army.Now even Batang is in jeopardy. Once Batang is also taken by the Tibetan army, then the Tibetan army can build a defensive position based on Batang, relying on the Jinsha River.Prevent troops from Sichuan from entering Tibet.

This is a huge loss.

"kindness."

In a short period of time, a large number of senior officials of Duan Xun's Ministry in Chongqing have gathered in the conference room.Except for Duan Xun, Dai Kan, Yang Wei, Wang Yongjiang, and Yang Yongtai, who are the top leaders of the Sichuan-Yunnan-Guizhou-Tibet Border Supervision Administration, most of the people below are senior military generals.

"What do you think?"

"beat."

Xiong Kewu is very straightforward.

"General, the Tibetan army dared to provoke us because the British were instigating us behind our backs. In the past few years, we have cooperated a lot with Japan, but instead suppressed many British businessmen. Now that the European war is about to come to an end, the British jumped out. The Tibetan army provoked us. , not only to instigate Tibet’s independence, but also to test us and give us the idea of ​​​​disowning us. At this time, we must not have any retreat. We should give the Tibetan army a head-on blow and kill chickens and monkeys. If we take a step back this time, Then the UK will definitely push forward and demand more benefits from us."

As Xiong Kewu also joined the People's Party, and the former Xiong Kewu's people became Duan Xun's right-hand man, Duan Xun gradually reused Xiong Kewu himself.The military affairs that Xiong Kewu was in charge of was originally a very important department, and now it has become a very authoritative department in the army.

Duan Xun regards Xiong Kewu highly, which makes Xiong Kewu also have a high position and weight.

The right to speak is also becoming more and more important.

Since the last army party meeting, Duan Xun's national revolution has been widely accepted by BJP members in the army.What is a national revolution, Duan Xun pointed out very clearly.

Expel the great powers, and the nation becomes independent.

Xiong Kewu was very encouraged.Why didn't the Revolutionary Party think this way back then, but none of us dared to say it out.Even within the Revolutionary Party, they dare not shout such slogans.Because everyone has a deep fear of the great powers.

But Duan Xun shouted it out in the army meeting.

"Correct."

Yang Wei nodded.

"At this time, the arrogance of the Tibetan army must be destroyed. If we fail to respond this time, we don't know what the Tibetan army will do in the future. If Tibet becomes independent, we will be sinners through the ages. This time Not only must we repel the attack of the Tibetan army, but we must also teach them a heavy lesson."

"But if we go too far, won't the British be offended?"

Dai Kan frowned.

This time, troops will be dispatched no matter what.But to what extent it should be fought, and to what extent the scale of the war should be maintained, this is the biggest problem.Everyone knows that the British are behind the Tibetan army.

If the fight is too hard, the British will definitely come forward.

This is the dilemma.If there were no British, the strength of the Tibetan army would be ignored by everyone.The question is how to deal with the British when the British come forward.

"If you seek peace through struggle, then peace will survive. If you seek peace through compromise, then peace will perish."

Duan Xun said this sentence leisurely on it.

"We can't offend the British now, and the UK is indeed very powerful. But even if we can't offend the British, we can't just choose to compromise. If we want to continue to cooperate with the British, if we only know how to back down, the British will definitely think that we You are a bully, and you will get more and more aggressive in the future, constantly challenging our bottom line, and will not take us seriously in our hearts. The more we back down, the more the British will look down on us, and the less peace we want. possible."

"Sometimes we have to show the British that we are not easy to mess with, and sometimes we have to show our strength. When it is time to do it, we have to do it. Only then will the British know that we are not easy to mess with, and will be willing to sit down Talk to us."

Britain is the world leader, Duan Xun also admits this.Regardless of the heavy losses of Britain in World War I, Britain is still the overlord of the world order by virtue of Britain's colonies around the world.

But what about the Overlord?

Duan Xun is also the overlord in the southwest region, but Lao Tzu has the final say here.

"And the timing is very good now. The European war is not over yet, and Britain has been hit hard by this European war, and it will not be able to recover in a few years. Therefore, the UK now has no spare power to interfere with our Chinese affairs. At most, it is behind the scenes. It’s just a matter. I don’t know what year and month it will be if I want to regain the strength to interfere in our Far East. At this time, I will cut off the minions of the United Kingdom and let the United Kingdom see it. It will also force the United Kingdom to sit down and talk with us.”

beat.

Duan Xun had thought about fighting for a long time, but he just had to see everyone's attitude first.Now everyone supports fighting, but they are a little worried about the British.In this case, Duan Xun also made up his mind to fight.

"Cichen (Xu Yongchang)."

"General."

"Analyze quickly, how we march now is the fastest and most effective."

"Yes."

Now is the time when every minute counts.Because once the Tibetan army controls Batang and then takes Litang, it will really cut off the way to Tibet completely.At that time, it will not be so easy to regain these places.Especially the Jinsha River, it is not possible to pass it just by thinking about it.Therefore, before the Tibetan army took Batang and Litang, the troops had to go out.

Xu Yongchang came to the map and said: "General, there are currently two troops closest to Batang and Litang. One is Li Bingzhi's No. 13 mixed brigade, who is serving as the guardian envoy of Sichuan. It is currently stationed in Ya'an. There is another The troops are the Independent Brigade of the Southwest Frontier Defense Army currently stationed in Dali. These two troops are the closest to Batang and Litang. Therefore, judging from the current situation, their two troops are the fastest to go out."

"kindness."

Duan Xun nodded.

Among the troops that Duan Xun can mobilize now, these two troops are indeed the most suitable.

"Give electricity to Ya'an: ask Li Bingzhi to train the troops immediately, and I will give him five days."

"Yes."

"Give power to Lu Chao in Dali: The troops have entered a state of first-level combat readiness and are ready to enter Tibet. Wait for my order."

"Yes."

"Generating power to Chengdu: Tell Zhang Shichen to urgently dispatch all logistics materials and send them to the No.13 mixed brigade in Ya'an. There is also a special logistics force to be set up to ensure the logistics of the troops entering Tibet. Telegram Shang Zhen, Be ready to support the troops entering Tibet at any time."

"Yes."

After Duan Xun gave several orders in a row, he said to Bai Jianwu: "Xinyuan (Bai Jianwu), immediately write an order to attack the Tibetan army in my name. After I stamp it, immediately send him to various newspapers. "

"Yes."

"Brother Xun Ruo (Dai Kan), this announcement is made in the name of the Border Supervision Administration of the four provinces of Sichuan, Yunnan, Guizhou and Tibet. Due to the rebellion of the Tibetan army, our department will suppress the rebellion in Tibet, and immediately stop all military operations. At this time, anyone Our troops have affected our troops to counteract the rebellion in Tibet, since they are traitors, our troops will never forgive them lightly.”

"Yes."

Also get vaccinated.

Duan Xun's expansion of power in the southwest did not offend one or two.If someone was making trouble behind the scenes when I suppressed the rebellion in Tibet, it would be no small matter.So use public opinion to kidnap them in advance.Anyone who dares to beat me at this time is a traitor and a traitor.Duan Xun wants to see how many people dare to risk the public opinion of being called traitors and traitors to make trouble for Duan Xun.

"Brother Changqing (Yang Yongtai), immediately send a telegram to Prime Minister Duan and tell him what happened in Tibet. Let him understand the reason why I can't continue to fight. And ask Premier Duan to publicly support our actions, and ask Premier Duan to conduct an investigation on us. appropriation."

"Yes."

"Okay, everyone prepares when they go back."

167 public opinion

"Brother Xinye, Lord Xianqiao, I have something to discuss with you two."

"General, please speak."
