Diannan State was at the southwest border of the Great Qian Dynasty. Further south was the colony of John Bull. No one would believe that the current governor of Diannan, Wang Chuanyao, had nothing to do with John Bull.
Kun Yun City was the largest and most prosperous city on the southwest border of the Great Gan Lord Dynasty. It had a permanent population of close to a million. Right now, the Kun army was frantically buying weapons to expand their army.
The Governor's Mansion was located in the south. It was a huge mansion, and there were armed soldiers guarding the entrance. At this moment, a small black car stopped at the entrance of the Governor's Mansion.
............................................................................................
A young man in a military uniform came down. He looked anxious as if something big had happened...
"Father, John Bull has finally agreed to transfer two Leenfield rifle production lines to us, but the price is to allow them to station troops in La County in the south…"
Wang Xiaochuan, the eldest son of Wang Chuanyao, was currently working in the Kun army. Only now did he know how expensive rice, oil, and salt were. The Kun army did not add a rifle, a cannon, or a heavy machine gun. They were all white and shiny, just like the current army configuration in southern Yunnan. There were eight infantry divisions and four independent brigades. To the outside world, they were called the 100,000 Kun army...
It might sound impressive and powerful on the outside, but Wang Xiaochuan knew that the Kun army's firepower and personnel were not fully equipped. For example, the Kun army's most elite 1st Division, which was also the most complete infantry division, only had 36 heavy machine guns.。
Therefore, his father and all the higher-ups in southern Yunnan were planning to find a weapon production line. If they could get the rifle production line to Kunyun City, the strength of the Kun army would definitely increase in the future.
"La County garrison?"
A square-faced man in a long robe sat on the chair. His expression was solemn. The garrison was of great significance. In recent years, the John Bull Army seemed to have crossed the border many times.
"Father, John also promised to provide the Kun army with instructors to help us train the army!!”
Wang Xiaochuan was not a fool. If the Qianjing knew that he allowed Johannes Bull to station troops in La County, he would become the target of public criticism, especially in Diannan. Last year, Governor Cai Yuancai had organized the Kun army to fight against the Great Qian Empire. But now, if he allowed Johannes Bull to station troops in La County…
He still needed to wait for his father to decide...
" We still need to think about this matter. Xiaochuan, you still need to put in more effort on Sir William's side. There is a war going on in Xi Yuan Continent, and the arms ban will definitely not be as strict as before. As long as we can cater to his preferences…"
"Father, I understand. I know about Sir William.。”
Ever since Cai Yuan had left, Wang Chuanyao had been the most senior in the Kun army. The entire Kun army was in charge of the southwest, but with so many soldiers, the monthly expenses were simply too high.
"There's one more thing. Something happened in Western Sichuan Province recently.”
Western Sichuan and Southern Yunnan shared a border. If Southern Yunnan wanted to plot something in the future, their first target would definitely be Western Sichuan.
"Could it be that the Qian Capital has appointed Lin Tianhong as the new Governor of Western Sichuan?？”
A few days ago, Xiong Kewu of Western Sichuan was killed, causing the nearby provinces to be in a state of panic. No one knew who had the guts to kill a governor of a province. However, Duan Zhichuan and Xu Zhishan were busy fighting for the position of the chief of the Great Qian Dynasty, so they did not have the time to care about Xiong Kewu's life or death. Naturally, this matter was left unsettled.
" There was no appointment in the Qian Capital. A week ago, Lin Tianhong and Liu Renhou ordered a few divisions of the Sichuan Army to attack all the counties under the jurisdiction of Western Sichuan. They were determined to use force to unify Western Sichuan…"
As soon as Wang Xiaochuan finished speaking, Wang Chuanyao sat up from his armchair. He was a little worried. The population of Western Sichuan was 30% more than that of Southern Yunnan. Moreover, it was vast and rich. Since ancient times, it had been the Divine Territory. If the integration was successful, the war potential of Western Sichuan would definitely be higher than that of Southern Yunnan.
"There's such a thing?"
"Father, this is absolutely true. Our people in Rong City have already confirmed this news. However, the strangest thing is that Lin Tianhong personally led Liu Renhou's 2nd Infantry Division south to Guangyi County.”
Wang Chuanyao immediately turned around and stared at the map of the southwest. Guangyi, Guangyi, the county town bordering Diannan. Why did Lin Tianhong personally lead troops to attack this county town…
"The original plan of the General Staff was to take advantage of the civil strife in Western Sichuan and march north. However, after thinking about it carefully, it is not easy for our Kun army to travel a long distance. Moreover, Lin Tianhong moved too quickly this time. We were not prepared at all, and we did not prepare any war resources. Therefore, the General Staff rejected this plan. However, Father…"
" According to the information we have, the 2nd Infantry Division led by Lin Tianhong suffered a great defeat in Guangyi County…"
Wang Chuanyao turned around and stared at Wang Xiaochuan. An entire infantry division had attacked a county city, yet they were defeated. This was impossible.。
"Father, this matter is absolutely true. During the battle at Guangyi County, many people heard the sound of cannons and gunshots. Although we don't know the exact details of the battle, the independent regiment defending Guangyi County did block the attack of a division!!”
This was the first time Wang Xiaochuan had heard of this news, and he found it hard to believe. If it were anyone else, they would not have believed it…
"Where did this independent regiment come from? Why was there no news about it before?”
It was impossible for Wang Xiaochuan to care about a county city. Who would care about a county city? Independent regiments, security regiments, patrol companies, there were so many independent regiments, who would pay attention to them…
" I only know that the Independent Regiment was established recently. I also heard that many factories have been opened in Guangyi County. The leader is Li Yao, the son of Guangyi County Chief Li Guangbei…"
" Get a few people to enter Guangyi and investigate the situation. I feel that this is a little strange. How can a regiment defeat a division? This 2nd division is Liu Renhou's old team. Their combat strength is guaranteed…"
Wang Chuanyao rubbed his head, but he didn't take it to heart. Lin Tianhong was still young, and he might make some stupid decisions. After all, it was only a county town, and he couldn't cause any trouble. The most important thing now was to appease John Bull, as long as he could manage Diannan well, it was better than anything else.。
He had to seize the opportunity while the war was going on in Xi Yuan Continent. Once the war was over, those people would make a comeback.
