Chapter 280 The war starts again
Since the collapse of the Wall of Life in Dawn City, the subsequent waves of collapse have not caused similar tragic casualties, at least for the city. As for the survivors at the bottom of the wilderness, their life and death are unknown, and it is not something that the city people will care about. One thousand or ten thousand deaths have nothing to do with the city.
In the Northern Expedition, according to the world's estimates, Leng Yuan should have stopped because the most critical capital leader has been recaptured, and most of the heavy grain-producing land has been captured. Although the main force of the northern rebels is still there, there is no need to swallow it in one breath. They can fully implement the strategy of sticking, keep a low profile, and rest.
As the saying goes, it is easy to fight but not easy to defend. This Northern Expedition achieved much more results than previously estimated.
Originally, according to the estimates of the Supreme Staff of the Republic of China, it would be best to recover the middle basin of the Yellow River and Yangtze River, especially to defeat the heavy grain-producing area of Henan Province, which is completely enough!
If you fight a lot more, it seems to be a recovery of lost land on the surface, but in fact, it is severely damaged. The larger the land, the more stable troops you need to send and the higher the military expenditure.
Leng Yuan was so lucky that Gao Ge almost took back all the land and pushed the rebels to the traditional border of the Republic in the old era. Looking at it, it was actually a bit of a loss and it was too radical.
However, the General Staff did not complain too much, because it was still within controllable range.
Originally, the Federation was already highly dissatisfied with the Northern Expedition. There were reports that the headquarters of the Asia-Pacific War Theater was already considering sending troops to intervene, but Leng Yuanka stopped at this critical moment, and the Federation was unable to advance or retreat.
According to the "Mutual Assistance Treaty of Republicans", both sides are not in a state of war. If the Federation now attacks the Northern Expedition Army of the Republic now, it is okay to fight, but it will breach the contract and be inaccurate, which means that the division is unknown.
Don’t underestimate the impact of "the division is not known". You can say that big fists are the bottom line, but if a war does not have a name, high-level generals can start a war with shamelessness. How to mobilize the lower-level soldiers is a difficult problem. It cannot give soldiers a reason to sacrifice heroically, which will greatly affect combat efficiency.
Moreover, once such a precedent is set, it will be extremely harmful to the future. From a historical perspective, the first person to destroy the rules of the game often has no good ending, so the Federation should not take the risk of starting this.
Now, the General Staff is more considering how to deal with federal economic sanctions. The other party is not a fool. Of course, if you can't get a tough one, you will get a soft one.
During this period, the federal government has crazily added coins to print, resulting in severe inflation. The urban civilians, who were originally on the line of food and clothing, were instantly pushed below the poverty line. Therefore, they were very dissatisfied with the Republic of China, and even more so with the Northern Expedition Army. If it weren't for the huge scale of the city defense construction army and the high security efficiency, someone would probably have caused trouble.
The General Staff of the Republic, Dove sent General Liu Fusu to meet with a group of officials under his command, and couldn't help but sigh: "If you have the opportunity, be sure to launch our own currency, otherwise it would be too passive to be controlled by others like you are now."
Previously, in order to restore the world economy, major forces in the world used a currency. The advantage was integration and highly regulated, which was very suitable for post-disaster reconstruction. The disadvantage was that they were dominant. The strong financial resources of the Federation could activate economic sanctions on any force.
To put it bluntly, like the current economic situation, it is completely that the Federation has pinched the globe of the Republic's globe. If you don't follow the crowd, you will squeeze you hard and hurt you. You must dare to do whatever you want and you can crush your globe in minutes.
A lieutenant general smiled bitterly and said, "Take it slow, you won't be fat even if you eat it in one bite. Now General Leng Yuan recovers so many lost lands, which is enough for us to be busy."
Another lieutenant general pondered: "I have a question. According to the battle report, the rebel city does not seem to have a wall of life. How could they defend so many collapses?"
"This is also my question for a long time." Liu Fusu is the leader of the Wall of Life Project and the person who reached an agreement with the Federation. He knows better than anyone else the importance of the Wall of Life.
Don’t talk about words like bird cages, cages, loss of freedom, and raising livestock. Without a wall of life, the population of the Republic’s Glory will drop at least 80% compared to now, and few people will survive the collapse!
So how did the rebels without a wall of life survive?
Liu Fusu did not continue his fantasy, but instead put his thoughts on the main issues: "The northern land has been suffering from war in recent months. We drafted an announcement to reduce taxes and appease the people's hearts, and then let the southern city defense construction army settle in quickly to maintain public order. As for Leng Yuan, she asked her to station the main force near Jingshou and set up defense lines in important towns to prevent the counterattack of the Northern Alliance, and at the same time eliminate the remaining hostile forces. In this way, within three years, the world will be... "
Before the four words "The world is prosperous" were finished, an urgent knock on the door of the conference room sounded. After the door opened, a communication soldier walked in with a pale face and said in a trembling voice: "General, the Grand Marshal invites you to the conference room No. 1 for a meeting."
Liu Fusu was stunned and felt a little strange. Conference Room No. 1 was a place to discuss major state affairs. Leng Yuan had finished opening after regaining the capital. Why is it now open again? He asked in confusion: "What's the matter to discuss?"
"The Northern Expedition..." The correspondent soldier looked like he had seen a ghost, and said in a trembling voice, "General Leng Yuan suddenly sent troops north two hours ago to attack the temporary rebel post. Now the vanguard troops are almost at the traditional border."
Liu Fusu only felt that the surroundings began to turn upside down. If it weren't for the support of several lieutenant generals, they would almost faint. The Confucian general was very uncontrollable, his eyes were filled with bloodshot. He grabbed the remote control randomly, turned on the projector in the conference room, and connected to the main news channel.
At this time, Liu Fusu, like everyone in the world, focused her attention on this breaking news.
In the picture, the defense secretary of the Federal Heavy Industry Corps, Teres, stood upright on the podium, behind him, several elite Valkyrie, including Brigadier General Brenheld, were displayed in front of him, and soldiers armed to the teeth were displayed. From time to time, ferocious giant god soldiers tanks drove by with rolling black smoke, and the air was filled with smoke.
In the press seat, the visiting reporters were already crazy and rushed forward desperately, photographing the force displayed by the Federation at this moment and the heroic and heroic appearance of Defense Minister Teres.
The next second, the sharp "Bald Eagle Mouthpiece" finally made a sound, and the majestic voice almost penetrated the sky through the microphone: "The people of the Federation love peace, but in order to defend peace, they are never afraid of resisting evil troops! Under the instigation and support of General Leng Yuan of the Republic, the Red Army of the Northern Expedition blatantly launched an invasion, ignoring our several warnings, and at the same time became more and more aggressive, even taking brutal measures, persecuting, plundering, and killing compatriots from all generations! Create a tragic massacre in Xuchang!"
Teres clenched his fists, his eyes that were jealous of evil were ignited with raging fire, and the critical words in his mouth were as sharp as a knife and an axe: "We expressed great indignation for General Leng Yuan's crazy butcher behavior, but the other party repeatedly regarded our restraint and tolerance as weak and could be bullied, and continued to go deep into the north and expand the war. All of this proved that Leng Yuan's indifference, ignoring the principle of peace of the republic, and wanted to launch force expansion."
Teres raised his fist and pointed straight into the sky, like a warrior ruled the world, and his voice was extremely majestic: "Now, on behalf of the Federal Heavy Industry Corps Commander-in-Chief of the Asia-Pacific War Zone of the Federal Heavy Industry Corps, I issued an ultimatum to Republic Zhihui, asking General Leng Yuan to lead the army immediately to break away from contact with the northern forces! If you continue to act alone, the patience of the federal government, federal people, and federal troops is not without limits. Once the situation deteriorates, Republic Zhihui must bear the full responsibility himself!"
The fire of fanaticism burned in Teres' eyes and a loud voice came out of his mouth: "For the Federation!"
When Teres's speech came to an end, a deafening explosion sounded from the sky. Nearly a hundred Valkyrie cut through the sky and burst into flames under the friction with the atmosphere. They attacked the other end of the horizon like a falling meteor, leaving conspicuous white waves in the air, proclaiming the impending death.
