Chapter 1043: Sinister intentions

The style of the painting is wrong. Until the Revolutionary Party declared war, the top leaders of the Revolutionary Party did not react. Didn’t they say that they would only be beaten passively? Didn’t they say that they would only swallow bitter fruit? Why did they declare war now? No matter how greedy or the strength of the Northwest is, the Revolutionary Party still sees it. It just tells the situation of the war, which makes the entire Revolutionary Party’s rule fluctuate. If the news of declaring war in the Northwest comes, some people at the bottom might run away directly.

The first thing the revolutionary party could think of was the means of controlling the media. The newspapers that promoted this battle were basically banned by the revolutionary party, making the revolutionary party area just a voice, and this aspect could not be entered. The omnipresent radios were scattered in the streets and alleys of the city, and directly tore the battle situation at this station, the faces of the revolutionary party leaders and their despicable battles, and the despicable fighting in the open, were torn apart and placed in front of all the citizens.

There are only 60 million left in the scope of the revolutionary party. Some of them are full of fantasies about the revolutionary party. Maybe this is also a good destination. Some dare to do so because they are reluctant to give up their foundation, while others are reluctant to give up their hometown. In short, there are various reasons.

But these reasons have one thing in common. It is not bad to stay in the revolutionary party area, and it seems that there is no loss. It is not familiar with the Northwest. In fact, gradually, under the premise that the number of people's exchanges and going home to visit relatives increases, as long as the border towns are not too remote, there are people working and living in the Northwest. In a few years, more and more people know the strength and development of the Northwest. Some people have moved, and the rest are also being considered.

Now, the Revolutionary Party has broken this balance and is connected with the powerful Northwest. It is no match for the Northwest. The Northwest can withstand the millions of Russian troops at will. It should be no problem to solve the Revolutionary Party, of course. They did not know that the Revolutionary Party had lost nearly 200,000 troops. It also included several model armies promoted by the Revolutionary Party and some Japanese troops.

Disillusion was shattered and peace was gone. With the help of radio and some lower-level intelligence agencies, the news that the revolutionary party's ship was about to remain silent has become a hot topic in the south, streets and alleys, such as the 3 million troops in the northwest. When fighting against Russia, it was only 300,000, and the northwest troops were sharp and the artillery were sharp. Even in a small range, the news that the revolutionary party's troops, including the two Japanese brigades were spreading, and there was a slight slight word, and so many-pronged approach. Most people knew that going to war with the northwest was not a good thing, at least wars were in conflict. The south could not stay.

A large-scale escape began, not to mention fleeing to the northwest area. At least, you can’t stay in the city for too long. You can escape to the countryside, and at least you won’t encounter fierce battles.

Nanjing, the revolutionary party’s base camp and core area, also has smart people. Some senior executives of the revolutionary party or well-informed people began to escape, including many senior executives of the revolutionary party.

The revolutionaries were panicked, and most of the institutions were paralyzed, and almost did not even issue the orders of the revolutionary party. Faced with such chaos, Sun Dapao and Huang Xing of the revolutionary party had a way to destroy them. Their status, coupled with the current situation, was not yet time to leave, but if this situation continued to be in chaos, it would be hard to say.

One tense morning, I had no discussion on the closed-door meeting. I just met with the Japanese envoy and asked them to take action in Shandong, but I got a reply that had already taken action. At least 1 million Japanese Army launched a forced attack on the First Division of the Northwest Army in Shandong. It is estimated that in one or two days, news about the outbreak of the war will be heard.

The Japanese attitude made the revolutionary party feel calm, and Britain, France, the United States and Russia, who reacted, also began to support the revolutionary party. Since it was not a particularly important place, other countries only set up an agency point here to play a role in liaison.

Representatives of Britain, France, the United States and Russia asked to meet Sun Dapao. Although the incident happened suddenly, after half a day of reaction, they all reacted. The threat from the Northwest to the revolutionary party was real. Even the strength of the Northwest shown in the military parade is not something that the Revolutionary party can deal with.

Although the South is not a decisive link in supporting Japan and Russia to deal with the northwest, the South is related to the interests of the Allies in China and East Asia. Whether it is Hong Kong in the UK or the Indochina Peninsula in France, it cannot be lost. Many open ports and concessions in China are also in the south, and the South is the last barrier.

The sudden invitation from the great powers made Sun Dapao shocked and was overjoyed. Attacking Wuxi and Zhenjiang had already made him feel overwhelmed. At this time, any help was very important, not to mention that this help came from the great powers.

The meeting between the great powers and Sun Dapao was quite pleasant, because the great powers brought real support, Britain, France, the United States and Russia, and in the entire Chinese foreign business, they pieced together nearly 12 divisions of arms, and then there were heavy weapons including 200 heavy artillery more than 100 mm. This support even exceeded Japan's support for the revolutionary party.

Originally, I just wanted to seek some kind of support, but the support at the spiritual level turned into real support. Such a large amount of arms, including artillery above 100 mm, has greatly increased the confidence of the revolutionary party that was difficult for China to obtain before.

After the meeting, Britain, France, Russia and the United States jointly signed a support agreement with the Revolutionary Party. The South of the Revolutionary Party gave the most-favored-nation treatment and all support to Britain, France, Russia and the United States, while Britain, France, Russia and the United States supported the Revolutionary Party and called on the Northwest not to cross the boundaries.

The minutes of this meeting were transmitted to all parts of the world through radio waves and naturally reached the northwest. When the great powers reacted so quickly, they directly gave the revolutionary party great support. The northwest did not argue, and the great powers almost broke the connection. In this case, they should be even more vigilant. Of course, the great powers are the great powers, not the revolutionary party.

In the Battle of Zhenjiang in Wuxi, the poor performance of the revolutionary army has proved that they were really a group of mobs and could not have the ability to resist the Northwest Army. The army that did not block the Beiyang Army seemed to have been corrupted in years of comfortable life. The short-sighted immediate interests blinded the revolutionary party, and they were even worse than Yuan Shikai.

Sometimes, Yang Yuanzhao even thought with a bad taste that when he was captured by the Third Army in Nanjing and could announce the battle in Zhenjiang in Wuxi, Wuxi, and the diplomats of Britain, France, Russia and the United States would regret it because of such hasty decisions?

However, the overreaction of Britain, France, Russia and the United States still made Yang Yuanzhao quite alert. Among Britain, France, Russia and the United States, the dominant one should be Britain and France. Only Britain and France owned huge interests in the entire southern China, including numerous concessions, spheres of influence, foreign companies and mines. These can create huge wealth every year. The Northwest is not interested in the great powers and colonization at all. For Mongolia's independence and when its strength is not strong, they brazenly confronted Russia. Although they agreed to the trade request, they only access and still need competition. This made Britain and France, which were at a disadvantage in foreign competition, unable to resist the Northwest. In fact, the foreign investment level in the Northwest is almost 0.

In this case, panic breeds. China is a semi-colonial and semi-feudal society. Britain, France, Russia and the United States have huge interests in China, especially in the south. Once occupied by the northwest, it will no longer exist.

Interests are enough to breed sins, especially when interests reach a certain level, the great powers are willing to do anything.

The first thing Yang Yuanzhao thought of was Shanghai. If there is one that is not entirely within the Northwest's sphere of influence among the forces at present, it is Shanghai. Not only the Jiangnan Shipyard, it is the largest civil ship shipyard in China and even the world. Since its construction, a large number of projects have been built every year. Now it not only includes Wusongkou, Chongming Island, and most of Pudong. With such a huge land, there are more than 40 docks above 10,000 tons, and 270,000 workers are used.

In addition to the Jiangnan Shipyard, the construction of the new steel plant is also a huge investment and a place of personnel, with a total number of more than 80,000 people. The huge steel plant is also a huge wealth.

Now, the great powers believe that the situation is still in a controllable way. At least, the south has not been completely lost. However, once the news of the capture of Nanjing leaks, what choice will the great powers make when they see that the south is a soft persimmon and cannot resist the northwest.

Almost with his heels, the great powers would never wait to die. If they hand over Shanghai and the entire Chinese concession to China, then resistance and rebound are necessary. Although the great powers were separated from the European war and could not interfere in East Asia on a large scale, it is completely feasible to take Shanghai as the main target and carry out a revenge. In that case, as long as some of the troops were drawn, they would carry out large-scale destruction on Shanghai when caught off guard, not only the concession, but also the shipyard and steel mill.

Yang Yuanzhao, who woke up from his dream, became serious. Shanghai is an important place. It may not only be the leader of the Yangtze River Basin in the future, but also become China's largest port in the future. Any damage will be unacceptable. Almost immediately, the situation was informed to the General Staff.

The Northwest General Staff attached great importance to it. After several rounds of research, it was found that this possibility was very high. He secretly dispatched two divisions of troops to enter Shanghai from the outer sea through Qingdao to increase Shanghai's defense and prevent the great powers from jumping over the wall.

The matter in Shanghai is a story later. In Nanjing, even if the battle is about to start tomorrow, small-scale battles in secret have begun. The purpose of the special forces entering Nanjing is to gain the lead and to prevent the top leaders of the revolutionary party from escaping. Now a top leader of the revolutionary party who is on the blacklist is suddenly preparing to leave Nanjing. (To be continued.)
