In the radio era, any news on the front line can be transmitted to the rear at the fastest speed, which also makes remote command possible, of course, this remote command is only on the surface, in the strategic category, in the tactical category, under the premise that electronic technology has not advanced to a certain extent, it is almost impossible.

The General Staff had been waiting for this news, and in order to pursue rationality, the attack time was postponed, and the powerful Third Army, unable to use the best time to attack the revolutionary party in Nanjing, instead let them out to attack Wuxi and Zhenjiang, even if they were well prepared, no one dared to guarantee that there would be no problems, and even if the city was held, the losses were too great, it was unacceptable.

At the beginning of the war, good news came one after another, and there was laughter and laughter among the general staff, and before the war, even the most optimistic staff officers did not expect at all that it would be such a result, and victory was secondary, and it was a great victory that was almost undamaged.

Isn't this a farce, they even prepared the idea of fighting a protracted war and suffering a certain number of casualties, but they didn't expect that the army of 180,000, which accounted for one-fifteenth of the revolutionary party's strength, was defeated and retreated to two node cities, and the layout and defense of these two node cities did not even use one-tenth of the strength, and all the previous plans were useless.

On the Wuxi side, with the help of the city set, it was almost logical to kill the opponent, and Zhenjiang was a little troublesome, but some of the prepared backhands had just been used two or three, and the enemy surrendered, this revolutionary party really did not fight.

"It seems that we should be a little bolder!" Zhang Xiaohuai said with a little amusement, and Jiang Baili also laughed. The revolutionary party is what Dexing, through the Intelligence Bureau. Basically got it, one-on-two. Even when the regular army of the Northwest Army was faced in a one-on-three match, the possibility of victory for the regular army was very high, but after the battle was really engaged, it was found that it was so bad that it did not even have basic training, strategy and tactics, and with a gun, it boldly broke into a city that did not know anything about it, all military. Avoid committing the taboo, almost step on them one by one, as if they were in a hurry, and sent themselves into the encirclement of the Northwest Army, for fear of running slowly, and adding a fire, the same result as suicide.

Yang Yuanzhao, who already knew the battle situation yesterday and was also in the staff department at this time, listened to the staff officers explain the battle situation on the front line. He also showed a clear expression, the revolutionary party's combat effectiveness is weak, which is a great thing for the northwest. Next, just take Nanking and seize the vast majority of the top of the revolutionary party. The south can basically be pacified, all occupied and taken. It's just a matter of time.

"Wuxi and Zhenjiang played very well. The military department should be rewarded for meritorious deeds, as for us, it is not over yet, Yan Xishan's Third Army is the focus, let's fight the next battle! Jiang Baili said, and said to Yang Yuanzhao: "Is it okay to announce!" ”

Yang Yuanzhao nodded, the news of the revolutionary party's move had been decided from the very beginning, no matter what the two nodes looked like, the necessary press conferences and declarations of war must be carried out.

Soon, at 10 o'clock in the morning, the spokesman of the Northwest Government, together with most of the major newspapers in the Northwest, including some at home and abroad, took out a press release that had already been prepared, and lodged a solemn protest against the actions of the Revolutionary Party.

The domestic media were trembling with excitement, this is big news, and the ministers of various countries, who were themselves in the northwest to attend the plenary meeting in the northwest, were shocked when they heard such a thing.

The Entente countries, led by Britain, France, and Russia, were even more naked obstruction, not only did not pay attention to why the revolutionary party acted against the node, but questioned the accuracy of the information obtained by the northwest.

This point in the northwest has long been prepared, in Wuxi, there is a cable telegraph network that has just been pulled up, which is the northwest through a trading company, and Swire & Co. jointly built, because the northwest labor and construction capacity, basically handed over to the northwest to build, including the British, including Swire & Co., just know that there is such a line, has not yet penetrated, who knows, the northwest deliberately pressed down, saying that this line, just passed the trial operation, the news is in a helpless situation, forcibly sent out.

The cable telegraph, this is documented, the construction capacity of the northwest, in fact, half a month ago, has been able to penetrate, has been led but not sent, with the evidence of the limited telegraph office, there is no need to expose the northwest has been substantially operating radio, this is also a good thing.

The British themselves had cable telegraph lines, which made the Allies' doubts untenable, but those reporters quickly changed the topic, but began to talk about the legitimacy of the node cities, after all, they are all local powers, and no one has obtained recognized state power, in the eyes of many people, Beiyang is unifying the point, in this case, openly claiming the ownership of the node, this is not a problem, will it be the conflict caused by the initiative of the northwest to set up an army?

The purpose of the foreigners is very simple, to prevent the northwest from expanding the war situation, they know the actions of the Japanese, and they also secretly support it, but it is only Shandong, the revolutionary party's side, and then there is chaos, this is the middle and lower reaches of the Yangtze River, this is the basic plate of absolute Britain and France, the sphere of influence, and the problem here is not a small blow to Britain and France.

In the face of accusations from many foreign media, as well as the forced diplomatic mediation of foreign ministers, the purpose is to make the northwest angry and solve the problem in a peaceful direction.

The purpose of the Northwest's pursuit of rationality is to occupy the moral high ground, and no matter how much foreign people coerce and lure, the spokesman is still unmoved and resolutely puts forward his own views.

First of all, the person responsible for punishing the problem, this person responsible is not the commander of the attack on the node city, but directly points to the two leaders of the revolutionary party, Sun Dacang and Huang Xing, and demands that the revolutionary party immediately stop the infringement and not expand its influence and occupation, otherwise, the Northwest Army will seek justice for the people of the node.

This is already a naked threat of war, watching the spokesman unmoved, directly said such a thing, Britain, France, the United States and Russia are really full of anger, they did not expect that the northwest, which has not taken any action for several years, would choose such a drastic action, in their hearts, but a little depressed, why did the revolutionary party do it, isn't this an egg hitting a stone, they don't know that there is such a thing as Japan in the middle.

At the press conference when the British, French, and American ministers left directly, the British minister Zhu Erdian also said in a weird manner: "The Northwest will regret this!" ”

But the spokesman straightened up and said with a smile: "The Northwest will never regret his decision!" ”

The radio networks and broadcasting organizations in the northwest throughout the country broadcast the words of the spokesman live on the radio, and the military acts of the revolutionary party became known to the whole country in an instant, and the news of the undeclared war and brazen attacks on legitimate cities was also sent out at the same time as the news that the troops of the revolutionary party had forcibly requisitioned the railways, and that the requisitioned had also been requisitioned, and some soldiers and ruffians had even begun to harass passengers and even robbed, and that many people had been injured to varying degrees and had lost a large amount of property.

The two pieces of news were merged together, and the whole country was in an uproar, not to mention the northwest boundary, the position where they sat on their buttocks, would not support the revolutionary party, the people in Beiyang, and the people under the jurisdiction of the revolutionary party, began to talk about it, no matter how much propaganda the revolutionary party had done before, opposing the dictatorship, but the reputation of the northwest has always been the best, countless people have benefited in the northwest, from poverty to wealth, now, the number of foreign exchange payments in the northwest every year is as high as hundreds of millions, and it is not only those people in the northwest who enjoy the benefits of the northwest.

In contrast to the lagging mobilization of foreign media, the newspapers of the country began to work at full speed to criticize the revolutionary party's approach, and of course, a small number of them expressed regret for the war in the northwest and kept calling on both sides to remain calm and not start the war lightly.

Compared with the newspapers that will be published tomorrow or in the afternoon, the first time it will be transmitted to the ears of the general public, that day is the radio station, which has spent a huge amount of manpower and material resources to improve the Zhongbo station throughout China, and in teahouses, hotels, inns and other crowded places, some radios have been arranged, and the accusations and condemnations of the revolutionary party have been broadcast in a rolling manner for the first time, and an ultimatum to the northwest has been put forward.

Sun Yat-sen, Huang Xing and others in Nanjing were dumbfounded, they couldn't have imagined that the northwest would be discovered so quickly, and the attitude would be so tough, this did not come according to the script, didn't the Japanese say that Japan is confronting the revolutionary party in Shandong, and it will soon be a decisive battle, and the revolutionary party cannot have this spare strength, and then take care of the south. As a matter of fact, the words of the Japanese minister were somewhat exaggerated, and there were also some deviations in the estimation of the strength of the northwest, which led to a result.

No matter how much you don't understand, it will definitely not work to do it according to this requirement. Sun Dacang, Huang Xing, are all senior leaders of the League, especially Sun Cannon, who is currently the spiritual leader of the revolutionary party, such people are handed over, the revolutionary party is not falling apart, through the cable telegraph, the revolutionary party began to send some false information to the northwest, what is a false alarm, it may be a skirmish, it must be verified, how to compensate for the loss, by the way, it was also mentioned at the end, the node cities are all in the territory controlled by the revolutionary party, can it be exchanged to the revolutionary party, How is the revolutionary party responsible for compensating for the construction costs......

As for the statement, the spokesman of the Northwest was a verbal rebuke, the sovereignty of the node cities belonged to the Northwest, which was in the previous covenant, and the Northwest was responsible for taxing the Revolutionary Party, but now, after the situation changed in an instant, the Northwest did not accept the explanation of the Revolutionary Party, and at 11 o'clock in the morning, after the deadline came, it began to declare war on the Revolutionary Party.
