"Thank you, brother."

Just as the Self-Defense Forces were dealing with the aftermath of the war, such as repairing the city walls and digging fortifications, the results of the war in the north were like a gust of wind blowing to the south.
The entire army was defeated!
Northern River had fallen!
Taiyuan City, the capital of Xishan Province, had fallen!
The Japanese are connected to the area occupied by the Japanese in Shandong, threatening Nanjin!
After the war, in order to stabilize the management of the occupied areas, the Japanese temporarily stopped large-scale offensive activities.
He began to stabilize the internal management of his faction.
Furthermore, they had to eliminate the rebellious forces in the region.
The newspapers in the south began to write articles, pushing the blame of the war to the National Army.
The country was in danger, but the national army did not move.
Meanwhile, the newspapers controlled by the National Army were trying to shift the blame.
No matter what the people were cursing, they all pushed the blame to Zhang Qian in the northern part of the West Mountain.
In short, he buried his head and ignored any comments. He was focused on eliminating the supply army in Xishan.
However, within the entire nation.
Those knowledgeable people began to sing the villain song with Old Jiang.
To them, joining the army was to serve their country.
Now that the country was facing a crisis, they were still fighting for their own interests.
This was something they could not bear.
Secretly, after they learned about Zhang Qian's deeds in the Xishan Province in the north, they began to secretly send news about Zhang Qian to the newspaper office.
Soon after, all the fishing boats in the south began to argue with Zhang Qian as the core.
The newspaper controlled by the national army said that Zhang Qian was a person who had harmed the country and the people, the number one sinner of the Republic of China!
On the other hand, the newspapers that weren't controlled by the national army all said that Zhang Qian was a national hero!
When the Japanese entered China's territory without permission, they decisively destroyed the Japanese's Yoshikawa Regiment.
After the war broke out, he led his army to launch an effective counterattack against the Japanese.
It was the first and only victory for China since the outbreak of the war!
It was hailed as the only victory in the war of resistance!
A division of the Japanese soldiers was destroyed when they attacked the Zhang Clan Fort.
Only the incomplete Second Brigade was left, fleeing in panic.
The people who were on the verge of despair began to cheer after seeing this news.
The people didn't care which faction you belonged to. As long as you won against the Japanese, you were a hero!
Moreover, under such unfavorable conditions, the northern part of Xishan Province was preserved.
It could be said that it was the only territory in the northeast of China that was not occupied.
Of course, Ma Shan Zhan, who fought in Xishan Province, was also praised.
Ma Shan Zhan had quite a number of troops, and with Zhang Qian's advance notice, he was not ambushed by the Japanese.
This had completely blocked the entrance of the northern part of Xishan Province.
But all Ma Shan Zhan and the others could do was defend.
They didn't dare to do what Zhang Qian did, which was to wipe out most of the invading Japanese forces.
Of course, this didn't mean that Zhang Qian wasn't powerful.
This was because Ma Shanzhan was leading an army of 70,000 to 80,000 Japanese.
It was all the Japanese forces that attacked Xishan Province. Zhang Qian was only fighting against 20,000 of the 180,000 Japanese soldiers who attacked Xishan Province.
Thus, under such circumstances, Zhang Qian could retaliate, but Ma Shan Zhan couldn't.
Because they only had the strength to defend and not the strength to counterattack.
As for the internal affairs of the Southern Army, other than the confrontation on the fishing boats, the Southern Army was not as powerful as the Southern Army.
There were also huge differences in other aspects, and even conflicts almost erupted.
Just as everyone thought that this matter would slowly be resolved over time or that Old Jiang would suppress it with great force.
A plan was quietly being carried out within the army.
Zhang Qian, who was in the north, knew very well that he was surrounded by the Japanese and had become a lone army.
However, he was not too worried.
Firstly, the Japanese still had a lot of armed opposition forces in the territory they occupied. They wouldn't be able to deal with them in a day or two.
Secondly, he was very clear about the direction of the domestic forces.
It was the general trend for the ethnic groups to unite and fight against the Japanese.
It was not something that one or two people could control.
Because this was the will of the people.
Even if all of this was not like what had happened in history, Zhang Qian had other ways to resolve the current strategic dilemma of his army.
That was to ally with his father-in-law!
Xishan Province bordered Xishan Province. The lower left side of their Zhang Clan Fort was his father-in-law's territory.
The two of them formed an angle, and the Japanese troops attacking Xishan Province were in the middle of the angle.
Although they had seventy to eighty thousand men, Ma Shan Zhan's army had no way of retaliating.
However, if Zhang Qian's self-defense regiment was included, it would be a different story.
Even though the 2nd Battalion of the Self-Defense Regiment had lost a lot of soldiers while defending the city, the rest of the troops were basically unscathed.
The Self-Defense Forces now had 10,000 people, and they also had heavy anti-aircraft guns, thousands of mortars, automatic rifles, and machine guns.
Once they joined forces with Ma Shanzhan's army, they would be able to wipe out the Japanese in the northern part of Xishan Province in a short period of time.
This way, Mashan Zhan, which was located in the northern part of Xishan Province, would no longer be under pressure from the north, and the south would have soldiers to supply them. They could completely rest easy.
When the time came, they would support each other. With the remaining 150,000 Japanese in the southern part of Xishan Province, it would be impossible for them to swallow them all in one go.
Perhaps Zhang Qian could rely on his intelligence to defeat all the Japanese in Xishan Province.
··································
Although Zhang Qian had some guesses about the changes in the south, he was not clear about the specifics and did not have the time to care about them.
Now that he finally had the opportunity to develop, how could he be idle?
Just now, Wang Sichong and Mithril Dagger had sent him a private message each. The two companies had each offered 1.2 billion yuan to obtain the permanent broadcasting rights of his live streaming room.
Of course, Zhang Qian had no objections.
After receiving these two sums of money, Zhang Qian had them purchase three factories for ordinary soldiers worth 200 million each, an anti-aircraft gun factory worth 500 million, a rifle manufacturing foreman worth 300 million, and an ammunition manufacturing factory worth 600 million.
These cost a total of two billion.
The remaining 400 million was used to purchase an S-300 PM air defense missile system.
The entire Zhang Clan Fort area would soon be turned into an important military base by Zhang Qian.
Specializing in the development of weapons and equipment.
Therefore, Zhang Qian naturally wouldn't let his guard down.
He could think of a way to deal with the troops on the ground, but if there was a sudden air raid from the sky, he really couldn't do anything.
Therefore, the deployment of air defense missiles was of utmost importance.
