Under the impetus of Zhang Xiaohuai, the General Staff Headquarters quickly took action, and most of the staff officers went straight to the archives, and the General Staff Headquarters commanded the entire northwest military training and combat plan, relying on intelligence and information.

Knowing oneself and knowing that the other side will not be defeated in a hundred battles, this Sun Tzu's art of war was put forward thousands of years ago, in modern warfare, it is still effective, only by understanding one's own strength, and then understanding the strengths and weaknesses of the other party, can we determine tactics according to objective laws, this is the most scientific method, even in later generations, it is also done so, although war has become more diversified because of the development of science and technology, and many new things have appeared, but how to ensure that they have a comprehensive grasp of the battlefield situation, and beat the other party into deaf and blind, It has always been pursued by both sides of the war.

In the past few years, the intelligence bureau and the military have mobilized a large amount of information through various channels, including not only the officers of every division of the revolutionary party, but also most of the combatants, some technical arms and equipment, and it is also necessary to grasp them.

The staff officers could not have had the time to take out all the millions of information and classify and combine them, but there was no time, but fortunately, the General Staff Department took the lead in a lot of work, and when investigating the intelligence of the revolutionary party, it also made some small plans, mostly of a summary nature, and these together became the basis for the large-scale plans for the revolutionary party.

In just a few years, the Northwest Army has gradually risen from an ordinary militia to an armed group. After changes in training and equipment, it is completely different from all Chinese armies. With the help of radio, advanced staff systems. Coupled with the pervasive intelligence, many times a series of plans have been made in advance before the outbreak of war. One side is prepared, the other side is just in a hurry, ignorant of everything, and the final result can be imagined.

On the side of the General Staff, when the previous semi-finished products were taken out and the most basic response methods were gradually constructed, Shi Lei continued to sit in the Intelligence Bureau. Oversee the next step of the Intelligence Bureau's work. Having found the two brigades of the Japanese army, the task of the Intelligence Bureau in Shandong was to determine the direction and speed of the main force of the Japanese army and prevent a sudden attack on the First Army.

The advance of the army does not need to be deliberately observed, and the Japanese will not be so brain-dead that they will be broken into pieces, so that the security of the intelligence personnel has been greatly improved, and the accuracy is also rising, and they are only responsible for the junction of Shandong and Hebei. Once they crossed the boundary of Shandong, they would belong to the war zone, and they would not need to go out, and the reconnaissance unit of the First Army would take over the reconnaissance work. They only serve to fill in the gaps.

Since Shandong is here, there is no need for the Intelligence Bureau to do anything more for the time being, just wait quietly. The waiting Japanese army crashed into the iron wall built in Shandong, and it seems at the moment. It will take a certain amount of time for the revolutionary party to come up with such a moth. Although the northwest did not think that the revolutionary party could break through the defense and attack the node in the northwest, the necessary attention was still necessary, and it was natural to set the target in the south.

Compared with the Beiyang in the north, the south is easier to arrange, no matter how the Beiyang is, it is also transformed from the Qing Dynasty, most of the Beiyang officers, in the Qing Dynasty began to lead troops, some even managed the place, after the transformation into Beiyang, the organizational structure is relatively complete, there is not too much recruitment, the management system cleaned up the original Qing government a series of corrupt officials, but instead, it is a group of officials trained by Beiyang, except for a few hearts in the northwest, willing to take the initiative to contact the northwest, In addition to becoming intelligence officers and anyway personnel, the rest can only rely on fixed urban channels.

Therefore, for the North Ocean, the northwest has infiltration, but not as strong as the south, and the method of casting a net and focusing on fishing is used. On the side of the revolutionary party, it's a different matter,

The revolutionary party was originally met by chance, and many of them were just local tyrants, and after gradually occupying the position, they could not do it in all aspects, and there was a great shortage of people, so in order to stabilize the localities and ensure a certain amount of fiscal and tax revenue, they could only recruit a large number of people.

If among the three major forces in China at that time, compared with the number of talents, the northwest was definitely outstanding, not only the population base was huge, but reasonable and excellent training was the cornerstone of the emergence of talents, taking advantage of the revolutionary party's wanton recruitment, the northwest seized this time and wantonly arranged a group of people, so for the revolutionary party, any news of a slight expansion was undefended for the northwest.

Under Shi Lei's command, the intelligence network throughout the south suddenly changed from a silent state to operation, this is a war related to the south, as long as the attack of the revolutionary party is dismantled, and the center of the revolutionary party is hit by the way, the reunification of China will be completed, not the nominal unification of the GMD in later history, the unification of the northwest, has always been practical, 6 years, a large number of administrative personnel have been trained, plus the Northwest Bank has hoarded enough funds and materials, even after the reunification, There will be no problems, with the support of the excellent system and funds in the northwest, these areas will be quickly renovated, and in half a year to a year, they will be successfully integrated into the system of the northwest.

Originally, the secret alliance with Germany would be officially unveiled a year later, joining the camp of the Allies, and officially joining the war, and there was an idea of solving the South at that time, but it was just necessary to find an excuse, and even gradually encroach along this excuse, and the time point for solving the South was positioned as one to one and a half years, and the time for complete digestion was two to two and a half years.

Now without waiting for the northwest to make a move, the revolutionary party took the first action, not only giving the northwest an excuse, but also giving the northwest an opportunity, the attacking side will always strike first, and will also be the first to show flaws, especially in the case of the two sides are not equal, the most correct thing is to shrink back and defend.

The intelligence officers of the intelligence bureau are all over the south, especially those who have been infiltrated into the revolutionary party and are already in high positions, and they have infiltrated from top to bottom, and the information they obtained through various channels has been reported to the northwest in a series of ways. Radio waves in a short period of time, between the northwest and the south began to communicate, the radio signal suddenly rose, for later generations, when both sides have radio monitoring means, absolutely do not dare to send out so much, even if there is a password, a period of time, in a certain area, the radio signal rises sharply, not only will bring the possibility, but also attract the attention of others, many times, just by virtue of some possibilities, you can predict something.

However, it was in later generations, radio has been popularized and has become a common tool in the military, and even by World War II, the radio of the US military was popularized to grassroots troops, and detecting and cracking radio signals has become a problem that countries must solve. But at the beginning of the 20th century, when even the radio of the great powers was in the most basic trial era, the revolutionary party knew nothing about the field of radio, and it did not have the slightest sense of it. At this moment, they also feel that everything seems to be still under control, they don't know that at this time, the northwest has suspended part of the handover with Beiyang, and the hundreds of thousands of troops who are ready to go to Beiyang at any time have been recalled 200,000 times, and there are 200,000 reserve troops who have been urgently conscripted into the army, and the time to accept the Beiyang territory has increased from about 2 months to 3 to 5 months, and 500,000 troops are on standby at any time and ready to go.

After 6 years of development, a large number of officers and government personnel cultivated by scientific methods are enough to solve any problems, as for the people at the bottom, the northwest also has enough strength to include them in the welfare system of the northwest, which is slightly unfair to the northwest, but at the beginning of the occupation, large-scale welfare is indeed the only way to stabilize people's hearts, and when the time comes, it may be faster to stabilize China. Then go all out and devote yourself to ripping the ground.

The Northwest Staff was brightly lit, and all the officers on duty, or on vacation, were urgently recalled. It's just a revolutionary party, so what's there, just rely on combat readiness on duty, but now, on the side of Beiyang and the revolutionary party, there are opportunities for both, and even the Japanese, who have always been entrenched in Shandong, have moved, and the opportunity for the northwest to unify the whole of China has appeared in an instant, and this is still an opportunity in the embryonic stage, but the opportunity is an opportunity, as long as it continues according to this, for the northwest, a lot of energy will be saved.

China can not stand the toss, in the past hundreds of years, China slipped from the world's first position, the real history, before the First World War, even did not occupy 1% of the world's industrial production share, it is enough to see its backwardness, foreign fire, foreign ash, foreign smoke, foreign cloth, foreign flour, a series of goods with foreign characters, representing the overall decline of industry, but also represents the sorrow of China's industry in those years.

Yang Yuanzhao crossed over is an opportunity, an all-in-one machine and forward-looking vision, successfully let China have a huge industrial base, in order to avoid interrupting this process, even in 1910, the northwest even in 1910, has the opportunity to unify China, but has been forbearing, until now, the two groups began to fight, the northwest considered repeatedly joining the camp of the Entente, must unify China, even if it loses something, but also at the expense.

Now, Beiyang has taken the initiative to take refuge in the revolutionary party, and the revolutionary party has risen up to fight to the death, and the two major problems can be solved in one move, as long as the heavy troops advance and destroy most of the armed forces of the revolutionary party, the reunification of China will be within reach.

This matter is very big, in addition to the urgent convening of the General Staff, Yang Yuanzhao was also notified as soon as possible, and he clearly knew the importance of this matter, so he did not even participate in today's important group discussion, and rushed to the General Staff as soon as possible.
