After searching for a while, he realized that other than sending troops, there was no other way to restrain him. However, when they saw that he had an army of more than 100,000 soldiers under him, everyone became weak. What a joke. If that was the case, without more than 200,000 soldiers, who would dare to say that they would win? Didn't you see that Wu Guangxin's 20,000 men lost miserably against 10,000 men?
No matter how he looked at it, there was no place that could stop Nie Wenzhou's Beiyang. He immediately contacted various warlords to boycott him. From personnel exchanges to raw materials, money, and other aspects, he wanted to give Nie Wenzhou an encirclement on all sides. Although the emissaries of the European and American countries did not say anything publicly, they still secretly blockaded Shaanxi with Beiyang. Now that the European War was over, he had plenty of time and energy to deal with Asia.
However, all the factories in Shaanxi obtained raw materials nearby. Except for the cotton from the textile mill, which had to be shipped in from other places, there was no problem with the transportation of foreigners. What worried Nie Wenzhou the most was the food problem. Shaanxi was not a big grain-producing province. Now that there were more and more people, they needed more food.
As expected, the isolated operations in various places soon showed results. First of all, the construction of the Longhai railway in Henan was forcefully stopped by the army sent by General Zhao Ti because it had not been approved by the central government. Secondly, the transportation of cattle, sheep, and fur from the northern grasslands had been suspended for various reasons. Finally, the three provinces of Jin, Henan, and Gansu had sent troops to the border, making the transportation of people and materials from all directions difficult.
Nie Wenzhou didn't care at first. He wasn't actually a qualified warlord now. He still had many habits of the former educated youth and commoners. He was hot-blooded but didn't take the initiative to cause trouble. If it wasn't for the sake of obtaining a large number of workers and talents, Nie Wenzhou would really only know how to shout slogans.
At the end of June, reports from all sides successfully angered him. The Longhai railway could still be discussed, but what was the meaning of all parties cutting off their own material transportation and preventing workers from entering the country? Did he really think he was a living Bodhisattva?
July 1, Xi'an
Nie Wenzhou's civil and military officials gathered in the conference room.
At nine o'clock sharp, Nie Wenzhou arrived at the meeting room. Seeing his tense face, the people below understood the seriousness of the matter.
"The meeting will begin now. Long San, tell me how many military supplies are in the logistics reserve now?”
Well, this was definitely a war.
"Reporting, Major. There are more than 10,000 Hua-1 rifles and 80 million bullets in the warehouse. There were more than 80,000 Mauser rifles, most of which had been replaced, with 30 million bullets. 500 mortars, 1 million rounds of artillery shells, 160 75mm mountain cannons, 800,000 rounds of artillery shells; There were no 105mm howitzers in stock, but there were 100,000 rounds. There were countless rations and other resources, enough to last the entire army for two years.”
In the past two years, following Nie Wenzhou's strategy of buying as much as he could, Dragon Three had stockpiled a lot of supplies. The new arsenal had been built long ago, and they had been working overtime for the past few months. The four divisions and the guard brigade had been equipped with Hua-1 semi-automatic rifles. The 105mm howitzer was successfully developed a month ago. There were only about 20 of them now, and they were all taken away by the guard brigade.
Nie Wenzhou wanted these civil and military officials to understand that they were not afraid of cutting off their supply channels. These days, these civil and military officials were really a little flustered. It looked like a few armies were going to attack Shaanxi. It would be a lie if they weren't worried.
Nie Wenzhou saw that everyone had calmed down and regained their usual confidence. He then began to assign various tasks to the government officials to stabilize the market and the government. At the same time, the officers stayed behind to continue the military operations meeting.
There wasn't much content in the government meeting, mainly to appease the people, but the military meeting had something useful.
Nie Wenzhou didn't waste any time and said directly,""I'm sure everyone knows the purpose of this meeting. This time, the General Staff and I agreed that we should strike a part of them and destroy their arrogance. Otherwise, we will be in a very disadvantageous situation.”
"Right now, the entire army has a total of four regimental divisions, a guard brigade, a security division, and more than 50,000 new recruits who have undergone more than three months of training.”
"Now, I order Vice Commander Long Mulan and Chief of Staff Xiao Liju to form the fifth and sixth divisions within seven days with all the trained recruits as the main focus. Hu Jingyi and Yang Hucheng will be the division commanders respectively.”
"Order the 5th Division to enter Yan 'an, the 6th Division to enter Baoji, and the 4th Division to return to Weinan. After three days of rest, we will leave Tongguan and meet up with the 1st Division in western Henan.”
"Order the Guard Brigade to stay in Xi'an. The Security Division will be reorganized into the 7th Division. Three days later, we will move to the west of Henan and meet up with the 1st Division.”
"Order, the commander of the 1st division, Zhang Liang, will be the commander. After the 4th and 7th divisions are in position, attack Luoyang and Nanyang. We must destroy most of the enemy and take down these two cities.”
......
After a series of orders, everyone's enthusiasm soared. They could fight again and make contributions again. Only the troops in charge of staying behind were very annoyed. Why weren't they fighting?
Hu Jingyi and Yang Hucheng were even more surprised. After they entered the officer training class, they had nothing to do except occasionally participate in training and exercises. He had thought that it would take a long time before it would be used, but he did not expect it to come so soon.
At this moment, the two of them were still very happy. After being in the People's Army for so long, they already knew what was going on with the division of the People's Army. This was an entire division of over 20,000 people, unlike their previous army of a few thousand people. Therefore, they were still very happy to be able to take on the position of division commander. This meant that they had already entered the upper echelons of the People's Army. Congratulations!
Soon after, the various armies of Shaanxi began to move. After the 7th division replenished their troops and supplies, they began to march towards western Henan. The commander of the 7th division, Wu Xin, was originally the deputy commander of the 1st division. When the army expanded, he was transferred to the security division as the commander. However, the security division consisted of three regiments. Including the guard battalion, artillery regiment, and logistics regiment, they only had about 10,000 people. Now that they had become an integrated division, Wu Xin had become a phoenix. The 4th division returned to Weinan for rest after the 5th division took over the defense. As for the west of Yuxi, it would be ten days later.
......
The mobilization of the Shaanxi army was not deliberately concealed, nor could it be concealed. After all, it was a big commotion. Beiyang and the other warlords soon found out. They did not expect the new warlord to have such a big reaction. She had thought that he would surrender, but she did not expect him to make a move now. She did not know if he was confident or desperate.
However, the Wan faction still sent three more divisions to Henan. After all, Wu Guangxin's troops had not been replenished after their defeat at the beginning of the year, and Henan did not have that many troops now.
Jin Province was just putting on a show. It was not the Jin Suijun that was strong and powerful. Yan Laoxi was only the governor of Jin Province. He did not have that many troops to use against the outside world. Zhang Guangjian from Gansu only sent 10,000 cavalrymen to Tianshui for show after he learned that Nie Wenzhou had sent 20,000 cavalrymen to Baoji. He didn't have the strength to fight Nie Wenzhou.
After Nie Wenzhou saw the news from all over the world, he felt relieved. Now, as long as they defeated the army of the Wan faction in Henan, the other warlords would definitely not dare to move.
