At the end of July, the fishing centers in the country were no longer all about the May 4th Movement!
Following the Battle of Luoyang, the People's Army rose up by stepping on Beiyang. All the forces in the country were shocked by the outcome of the war. They had defeated many with fewer people and achieved a great victory with minimal casualties. The news of the defeated army escaping back to Kaifeng and bringing back the people's army shocked the world.
That's right, this time, not only was the entire country shocked, but the European countries and Japan were also shocked by this People's Army. Hundreds of cannons were nothing in the West, and they could barely be used in Japan, but this was China!
All the countries began to suspect who was selling so many firearms privately. Beiyang also suspected who was supporting the People's Army, so all parties began to investigate.
It wasn't a difficult thing to do. Soon, they found out that the American had been selling weapons to the People's Army, but the amount wasn't very large. Now, he was just doing normal material business with the People's Army. They had investigated the others for a long time, but they did not find any signs of external support. Later on, they finally discovered the large scale arsenal of the People's Army in Shaanxi. Only then did they learn that the other party could actually produce a large number of guns and cannons on their own. This shocked everyone again!
At this time in the country, there were several factories. Jiangnan manufacturing bureau, Hanyang, Gongxian, Northeast and Taiyuan were planning. Tianjin machinery bureau had long been destroyed. However, other than Hanyang, which could produce a small number of Hanyang products, almost none of them had the ability to produce firearms on their own.
Now, the warlord in Xi'an had actually done it, and there were quite a number of them. According to the information they had found, the other party had sealed Mauser and replaced it with their own rifles. This was a sin! How can you be so showy? We're still using Mauser 88 and Hanyang made with polished rifling, and you're already looking down on the better Mauser we have. You're simply killing them! What was even more terrifying was that they could make cannons, cannons, cannons…
This was like a curse hovering over the heads of all forces, unable to be dispelled! Now, anyone who dared to touch the tiger whiskers of the People's Army would probably be laughed at. Now, no one in the country dared to make things difficult for the people of Shaanxi. No one dared to obstruct the transportation of materials from Shaanxi. Everyone did not have so many troops and territory for him to occupy!
Nie Wenzhou, the new warlord, was finally recognized by everyone. All the warlords looked askance at him, all the wise men were moved, and the ordinary people praised him as a " good man "! Why?
It turned out that Nie Wenzhou had been making all sorts of comments about the May 4th Movement, accusing the foreign powers of betraying China and interfering in its internal affairs, scolding the Northern Warlords for being weak and incompetent and betraying their country, hating the warlords for turning a blind eye to the national crisis, and so on. Nie Wenzhou thought that since they had already shed all pretense of cordiality, he would use a big move to blast everyone over. Whoever died would be unlucky! As a result, he successfully aroused the public anger of all the warlords and powers, and gained the recognition of the people.
The consequence of this was that a large number of aspiring young people and workers poured into Shaanxi. Shaanxi's construction in all aspects finally did not have to worry about a shortage of people. The construction of the Longhai line was restarted once again. The steel rails produced by the Hanzhong Steel Plant began to be transported to the construction site for installation. However, the direction of the construction was from the steel plant to Kaifeng because it could save costs and facilitate transportation by using the repaired section.
The biggest gain was that it attracted a group of professors, lecturers, and university students. Although these people also had jobs in universities, they were very disappointed with Beiyang. After the May 4th Movement, a large number of students and teachers were arrested. Even after they were released, these people were extremely disappointed in the government. At this time, Nie Wenzhou was like a flag of resistance against the rebel rule. With their understanding of Shaanxi, many people came to Shaanxi.
To be honest, Nie Wenzhou didn't expect such an outcome. He wasn't a qualified politician at the moment. Many things were driven by his interests and practical needs. At that time, he just wanted to snatch some workers and talents. Who knew that such a storm would happen and ruin his usual low-key style.
The indirect impact was that most of the foreign-funded factories could not resume work on time. Too many people left, and those who did not leave were restless. Therefore, Nie Wenzhou had offended everyone.
……
Beijing Foreign Affairs Embassy
"Sir, we can't just let it go like this. We have to teach this yellow-skinned monkey a lesson and let him know that we are the high and mighty rulers of this land!”
The envoys and consular officers of England, France, the United States, Italy, Japan, and other countries gathered at the Ying Country's embassy and complained to the Ying Country's envoy, Zhu Erdian. Zhu Erdian remained silent. He had been in this country for many years and knew the situation of this country and its people very well. In the past, there was Big Head Yuan in charge of the central government. His prestige could suppress people from all sides, but there was no such person now. This country was at a crossroads. What they lacked was a leader who had the ability and prestige to lead them forward. There had not been one in the past, but now it seemed that it was very likely to appear!
In fact, he wasn't the only one. After investigating Nie Wenzhou's past and habits, many people realized that Nie Wenzhou didn't look like a politician. As a politician, he naturally had to be smooth and slick. He had to be able to curry favor from all sides and use unscrupulous means for a certain political goal. However, Nie Wenzhou did not. From the beginning to the end, he had used the army to overthrow all those who opposed him and obstructed him. Moreover, his army was powerful enough!
This was a very scary thing. If it was a politician, they would have thousands of ways to deal with him. However, no one knew how to push such a powerful violent person off the political stage. He was about to retire, so he didn't want to care so much about these things, nor did he want to make a big fuss.
After a long time, when everyone had finished complaining, Zhu Erdian said softly,"Gentlemen, what do you think we should do? Should we send troops to attack?"
As soon as he said this, everyone fell silent. The European war had made all countries allergic to war. Now, other than Japan, who was not afraid of war, if any European country dared to mention war, their citizens 'saliva could drown them! Because the US felt that they would not get anything in return for their efforts, they were now beginning to become more and more isolated and indifferent to things outside of America!
In short, it was impossible to fight directly. Don't even think about it. After thinking about it, the only way was to use Hua to deal with Hua. Therefore, everyone looked around and realized that they had restricted the warlords too much. They were not strong enough. They had to give them some blood! Well, everyone had a large number of old weapons in their armory, so they could find a way out. As for the arms embargoes that were just finalized last year, to hell with it!
After that, there was a feast of division. Everyone discussed which faction would be allocated to whom. The price could not be too different. They had to unify it. In the end, they completed a conspiracy in the midst of quarrels and compromises!
The warlords from all over the world felt a little overwhelmed. In the past, the envoys and businessmen from all over the world who came to their door without getting many weapons actually came to their door to sell them. Moreover, it seemed to be so cost-effective. If they could do this business, their team could expand again!
