"Father, is there a problem with the northern expedition?" Hearing Liu Xiang say that he wouldn't be idle for long, Liu Feng immediately thought of the Northern Expedition. At present, the only thing that could trouble Liu Feng in the country was the Northern Expedition. Thinking about it, the Northern Expedition Army in the south only had a total of 300,000 to 400,000 people. With millions of people, this battle was naturally fraught with difficulties. Although the strength of the old warlords in the Northern Expedition was worrying and their morale was not good, they still had numbers…
Moreover, the Northern Warlords had been in control of the north for a long time, and they had a lot of money. The equipment of the Northern Warlords, which they had spent a lot of money to build, was not just a little better than that of the South. The only advantage the South had was morale and the will of the people. However, it was obviously not enough to rely on these to succeed in the Northern Expedition. Therefore, in summary, the failure of the Northern Expedition was not surprising.
Looking at the increasingly mature face in front of her, Liu Xiang took a sip of tea and said," That's right. Even though the Northern Expedition Army had a strong momentum in the early stages, and they managed to overcome all obstacles along the way, there was still a huge gap in strength between them and the Northern Warlords. After the initial stage, the Northern Expedition has already reached a stalemate and is showing signs of failure. Right now, the people of the Southern Revolutionary Army are still anxious."
"As expected, the Northern Expedition has not even started yet, and you should have already thought of the current outcome. Do these people in the south really think that the Northern Warlords are the previous barbarian regime? Did he only know that he was in trouble now that he had attacked rashly with such a poor understanding of himself and his opponent?" Ha…" The defeat of the Northern Expedition was completely within Liu Feng's expectations. After all, Liu Feng had compared the data of both sides more than once before.
Perhaps because of the development of Sichuan, the Northern Warlords 'military power was much stronger than the Northern Warlords in the real world. The Northern Expedition in the real world was still very difficult, but now that they were facing the powerful Northern Warlords, the defeat of the South was naturally expected.
"Then what about now?" Liu Feng asked again. Does the Revolutionary Army want us to do more?”
" That's right. The leader of the Revolutionary Army has been persuading the warlords everywhere to gain more support. The warlords have different attitudes, but most of them still tend to invest more troops and want to fight to finish off the northern forces in one battle. After all, if they fail, their territory will be in danger. They have no choice but to treat it seriously! Liu Xiang said slowly.
"Indeed, these old foxes are each more cunning than the other. Moreover, under such circumstances, they have no choice but to contribute!”Liu Feng slowly walked to the pavilion and sat down. He took a sip of tea and said.
" They are waiting for us to express our stance. If we agree, everyone will be happy. If we don't agree, we might be the next Northern Warlord, hehe…"
At this point, Liu Xiang's face was full of ridicule. It was not that he underestimated the warlords, but Sichuan had changed too quickly in recent years. If he had not experienced it himself, even he would not have believed that Sichuan would develop to such a stage. If he said something unpleasant, Sichuan would be able to compete with the entire Republic of China if they fought!
Now that he thought about it, all kinds of logistics supplies and military equipment could be produced and supplied by Sichuan itself. Even heavy weapons such as heavy machine guns, mortars, howitzers, and cannons, which were currently impossible to produce in China, could be produced and supplied by Sichuan.
In addition, there were more than 200,000 regular reorganized troops and more than 100,000 local garrison troops. If Liu Xiang, who had such powerful strength, could not defeat these warlords who did not even have many mortars, he could even find a piece of tofu and kill himself.
"Although we are not afraid of them now, it is not the time yet. They are currently in the limelight and have a high reputation among the people. If they really fall out with us, it will be very detrimental to our development. It will even do more harm than good to the entire country. Everyone knows what is going on. Whether it is the direct line, the Feng line, or the Wan line, all of them are selling the country's interests in exchange for their own strength. Strictly speaking, it is not an exaggeration to say that they are a group of traitors! Therefore, no matter how you looked at it, they were going to be destroyed!”
Liu Feng's face was filled with hatred when he talked about betraying the country. In his previous life, he hated these traitors very much, but he had never had the chance to do so. Now that he had come to this chaotic world, if he had the chance, he naturally would not let any of these traitors go!
"Oh? Tell me, what should we do next?" Liu Xiang found it interesting to see his son react this way. Usually, Liu Feng rarely showed such anger in front of outsiders. He usually looked calm outside. At most, he would talk and laugh with people he was familiar with or his subordinates. To be able to make this kid so angry, these people were all talented!
"Didn't Father already have a plan?" Looking at his father's teasing expression, Liu Feng felt rather helpless, but he also had no choice. He did not know when it started, but his father liked to see him make a fool of himself more and more.
"Hey, that's different. My thoughts are mine. I want to hear your thoughts. Only by combining all the factors can we avoid mistakes!" Liu Xiang was more and more satisfied with her son's helplessness. It was as if the more her son made a fool of himself, the more comfortable she felt.
Shaking his head, he ignored his father's teasing and said,"
"Over the years, we have continuously obtained huge benefits from the West, especially from Germany, before and after World War I. We have basically completed the establishment of Sichuan's basic light and heavy industries. We can even independently produce some heavy equipment in the heavy industry, although our research and development capabilities are still insufficient.
After all, we have too few talents. Even though we have invited many talents from Europe and the United States to study abroad, our numbers are still too few. We are still not on the same level as the European countries. Even the chickens in the east are much stronger than us, so now is not the time for us to reveal too much of our strength.
In addition, although the basic structure of our intelligence construction has been completed over the years and has played a huge role in blocking the information in Sichuan, there is no such thing as an impenetrable wall in the world. How could such rapid development inevitably attract the attention of people with ill intentions?
If we don't do anything at this time, the factions in the south will definitely attract some bad comments. This is extremely unfavorable to our development and future path. Therefore, considering these factors, we should at least show some real ability!”
There was one more thing that Liu Feng did not mention, and that was that the Red Alert base had already been launched. He only needed to wait for a while before he could fully launch the plan in his mind. His goal was not just the warlords in the country!
"That's right. Lu Tingrong, Tang Jiyao, and the others are very active now. Over the years, nearly a quarter of the spies we caught in Sichuan are their people. If we don't make a move, the first ones to make trouble will probably be them. Then tell me, how should we move?"
Liu Xiang naturally knew about the forces in the south. As the King of Sichuan, Liu Xiang was very clear about this basic situation analysis. The reason why he asked Liu Feng was that he vaguely knew that Liu Feng had a bigger plan. He was afraid that he would accidentally ruin his son's plan.
After all, no matter what, a large part of the family business in Sichuan could be said to be supported by this youth who was not even twenty years old. He could not bear to destroy this foundation.
