On July 4th, the turmoil in Northeast China was also known by the major warlords inside the pass. Whether it was Chairman Jiang in Nanjing, Yan Laoxi in Taiyuan, or Li Zongren in Guangdong, who didn't have their own information channels in Northeast China?
Of course, there were also intelligence departments in the northeast with the other warlords. As soon as there was any movement in the northeast, the warlords inside the pass would smell it like dogs!
A civil war was about to break out in the northeast!
This was a wonderful opportunity for Jiang Yan and Li Feng to invade the Northeast, leaving Zhang Zuolin with no territory left. Of course, among the four, Jiang Zhongzheng was the most eager to attack the Northeast!
Even though the territory of the Nanjing National Government did not even border the northeast, the chairman of Nanjing was ambitious.？
Nanjing, the presidential palace!
The rainy Jiangnan area was currently in the rainy season. Every time it came to the end of June and the beginning of July, it would continue to rain. This kind of weather made Nanjing, a city that was already densely covered in mountains and forests, even more humid!
On the Nanjing side, the Central Army had been reorganizing for the past month. Although the Nanjing National Government was recognized by Li Zongren, Yan Xishan, and Feng Yuxiang, the National Revolutionary Army was still divided into four armies. The first army was commanded by Jiang Zhongzheng, the second by Yan Xishan, the third by Feng Yuxiang, and the fourth by Li Zongren. Jiang Zhongzheng was also the commander-in-chief. Among them, Jiang Zhongzheng's First Army was the strongest, with nearly 500,000 soldiers. The Second Army had 200,000 soldiers, the Third Army had 200,000 soldiers, and the Third Army had 300,000 soldiers. Although they all belonged to the National Revolutionary Army, everyone knew that Jiang Zhongzheng could not interfere with different armies. Each army had its own way of doing things. From this moment on, the combat effectiveness of the later generations of the national army was also low. It was from this moment that the root of the disaster was buried. They were not united at all!
It was just like the northeast now. Although it was the northeast army, Zhang Xueze's control over some armies could not achieve the standard of absolute obedience. Some orders even reached the local army and were directly obeyed!
"Chairman, the Northeast Emergency Telegram, Wu Junsheng, Zhang Zuoxiang, and Tang Yulin announced early this morning that the three provinces of Rehe, JiLin, and Heilong would be separated from the Northeast Independent Government. At the same time, Zhang Zuolin officially issued a war declaration to the three of them half an hour later!!”
Chairman Jiang was discussing with Zhang Zhizhong on how to negotiate with the people of Dé to obtain the aid of the country's firearms. He wanted to arm the German Mechanic and let the 500,000 soldiers of the First Army be equipped with the German Mechanic Force. However, this required the help of the Americans. After all, the Americans and the people of Dé were very close now, and the National Government and the American government were also very close. He believed that the armed forces of the German Mechanic Force would definitely be able to make a breakthrough!
"Zhizhong, pass down the orders. These days, order the 3rd Infantry Division of Qian Dajun, the 9th Infantry Division of Jiang Dingwen, and the 47th Infantry Division of Chen Tiaoyuan to be ready for the northern expedition. Nanjing will provide all the strategic support to these northern expedition troops!!”
After the diplomatic negotiations between Northeast China and Japan ended, Nanjing was still quite shocked by the so-called "Wuchen treaty". After all, this was the first treaty that was beneficial to China since the Qing Dynasty. However, it also made Chairman Jiang feel very uncomfortable. This treaty should have been obtained by the Nanjing government first, not the Northeast. The Nanjing government should be the legal government of China!
However, this glory was snatched away by the northeast, so the northeast gained too much public opinion after the northern expedition!!
"Chairman, Shandong Province is currently occupied by Feng Yuxiang's troops. We must obtain Feng Yuxiang's consent to go north and enter the northeast!!!!”
"Humph, Feng Yuxiang is nothing. The Nanjing government is the legitimate government of China. The rest are just clowns. I am the commander-in-chief of the National Revolutionary Army. It is not Feng Yuxiang's turn to interfere!!”
Among the four armies, Feng Yuxiang's Third Army was the most likely to challenge Jiang Zhongzheng's position. Therefore, whenever Feng Yuxiang was mentioned, Generalissimo Jiang would suddenly explode. It seemed that the Central Army and Feng Yuxiang's Northwest Army were going to have a battle.
Baldy Jiang glared at Zhang Zhizhong but did not say anything. He was going to start a new round of the Northern Expedition. Baldy Jiang knew that it would be difficult for Nanjing to do anything. Both Yan Xishan's Second Army and Feng Yuxiang's Third Army were more suitable for attacking the Northeast than the Central Army. Similarly, it would be easier to manage them directly in the future. Therefore, he only ordered three infantry divisions. Basically, he wanted to give Yan Xishan and Feng Yuxiang a false impression. The Central Army wanted to interfere in the northeast!
After Zhang Zhizhong left, Baldy Jiang looked back at the huge flag of the blue sky and white sun hanging on the wall. There was also a photo with an X-text. However, Baldy Jiang's gaze was still fixed on the huge military map. Northeast, the last region in China that had not yet joined the National Government. If they could complete the peaceful recruitment of Northeast China, they believed that Nanjing's position would be unshakable!!
At the same time, in the Northeast, Zhang Xueze had already decided to mobilize Jiang Dengxuan's 3rd Guards Division and the 1st Garrison Division stationed in Fengtian. At the same time, the Northeast Air Force and the Northeast Armored Force would officially set off for Changchun, JiLin Province, at 2 p.m. on the 4th of July. The war to unify the Northeast had officially begun!
Fengtian, the marshal's manor…Zhang Xueze was hosting the war mobilization meeting. In the meeting hall, all the core figures under Zhang Xueze were present!
The Fengtian authorities, especially the people in Fengtian City, were getting increasingly anxious. When they heard the news of the war in the northeast, the people had worried expressions on their faces. Everyone knew that with the outbreak of the war, more people would die…
"Yuting, you have to send more people immediately. Send out orders to all the grassroots in Liao Province to send some young and capable staff to stabilize the people, especially for this war. You have to minimize the panic brought by the war!!!”
Zhang Xueze did not want to win the war and lose the hearts of the people!
He believed that the Fengtian government was still lacking a department. A powerful propaganda department with all kinds of abilities that could turn the rotten into the magical. They had to establish a glorious image of the Fengtian government in the hearts of the people. They had to make the people believe that the Fengtian government's war was beneficial to the future development of the northeast, not like now, where the people's hearts were greatly shaken!
Obviously, Yang Yuting also knew the seriousness of the matter. He had neglected this point. The people's hearts could not be thrown into chaos, especially at this critical moment…
