In fact, this supreme authority's trick really didn't hide from those two. However, he knew that there were ghosts in it, but the king of Qinghai, who regarded the troops in his hands as his life, was naturally not happy about such a good thing as not only expanding his strength, but also getting territory. Especially in Longdong, which has always been rich, he has been peeking for a long time when he is trapped in Qinghai and the even poorer Longxi.

Even if he knew the idea of the "central government" very well, he thought that his strength was still very strong, and in this vast area of the northwest, even the central army could not help him, so he didn't care much. Fighting in such a vast area as the northwest would not have been possible without cavalry.

Although the equipment of the Central Army is good, the cavalry is only a little, and if you start in the northwest with yourself, you can only suffer a loss. Although the equipment of his troops is far inferior to that of the Central Army, the will to fight is not comparable to that of the Central Army. Coupled with the huge cavalry under his subordinates, as long as he doesn't take the initiative to cause trouble, Chongqing, which is now taking care of itself, has nothing to fear.

He promoted his son to a major general, served as the commander of the 82nd Army of the housekeeping army, and became the youngest general in China. As for the threat of northern Shaanxi, it is very arrogant, and even the central army does not pay attention to it, and he does not pay attention to northern Shaanxi, which has fewer guns and fewer bullets.

This arrogant old man also plans to use this opportunity to compete for the chairman of Gansu Province. Expand his sphere of influence to the two provinces of Ganqing and Gansu, and also be the king of the northwest. So even if this guy saw the smell of conspiracy, instead of flinching, he thought that this was an opportunity for himself.

After the equipment is in hand, in order to prevent changes later, this guy's movements are quite fast. The equipment here has not yet arrived, and the number has just been dialed, and he immediately appointed his nephew as the commander of the newly formed 129th Army. He also transferred a part of the Qinghai Security Regiment and his own fundamental unit, the 82nd Army, to complete the organization in the shortest possible time.

The army is subordinate to a new First Division with two infantry regiments and one cavalry regiment, the Eighth Cavalry Brigade of three cavalry regiments, and a supplementary brigade reorganized from the Security Regiment directly under the Qinghai Provincial Government. At the same time, the army set up an artillery battalion with three Jin mountain guns, seven 82 mortars, and an engineer battalion directly under it.

At the same time, in order to strengthen the combat effectiveness of this army, the king of Qinghai also reorganized his own housekeeping unit, the Qinghai First Security Regiment, into a special service regiment directly under the army. After the reorganization was completed, this army was immediately stationed in the Longdong area in accordance with the order of the Ministry of Military Affairs. Even the weapons and equipment distributed by Chongqing were received on the spot in Longdong.

However, the king of Qinghai was not worried about this batch of equipment, and handed it over to his nephew. He not only transported all the six mountain artillery pieces and all the artillery shells back to Qinghai and organized them into the 100th Mountain Artillery Battalion of the 100th Division of the core army. Rifles and light and heavy machine guns, as well as most of the ammunition, were also repatriated.

Only 500 Italian-made 65 rifles, 10 Breda heavy machine guns, and 30 Breda light machine guns were kept for façade. The rest will be transported back to Qinghai to change clothes for his heart, the 82nd Army, or keep it in his hands as a treasure at the bottom of the box.

The weapons and equipment of the army were still Jin-made rifles or miscellaneous rifles made in Hanyang, such as the old sleeves and Hanyang-made rifles, which were painstakingly obtained from the Northwest Army or the Jin Sui Army in those years, or purchased at high prices, and even more than half of them were old-fashioned 11-mm single-shot Mauser rifles.

Half of this is because he is not at ease with his nephew, for fear that he will stand on his own. The other half also have the intention of continuing to cry poverty to the Eighth War Zone and ask for some equipment. The most fundamental thing is to find an excuse to protect yourself from war at a critical moment. He regards the army as his life, but he doesn't want to take advantage of others. I want the turf, but I don't want my strength to be damaged too much.

And he has worked hard in Qinghai for many years, but he is not really short of weapons. In the battle of the Four Horses and the Rejection of Sun that year, his troops from the Shizuizi arsenal, only the Tanglin thief set up his own factory to manufacture, and the performance and quality of the past six or five rifles were 6,000.

In addition, the 38 rifles that had been purchased one after another before, as well as some of the usable weapons captured from the Western Route Army in the Battle of the Hexi Corridor. Although the number of heavy weapons was small, there were only a dozen mountain guns and fifty or sixty mortars. The number of light and heavy machine guns is also insufficient, adding up to only a few dozen.

There was even a batch of British-made firearms of the Tibetan army captured during the Qinghai-Tibet War. The number of rifles is not only sufficient, there is even a considerable amount of reserves. Although there are not many new weapons among these weapons, many of them are second-hand or third-hand weapons. But at least it hasn't gotten mixed up to the point of taking those weapons that don't have ammunition and equipping a new army.

However, although the army's equipment is somewhat damaged, the army's combat effectiveness cannot be underestimated. In particular, the army has a full-fledged cavalry brigade of three regiments, as well as a divisional cavalry regiment, which is extremely mobile. In addition to his ace unit for the family, the former Qinghai Security First Regiment. The combat effectiveness of the four security regiments, which act as the main infantry force of this unit, should not be underestimated.

He was reckless in Qinghai, raising an army at a height of three feet on the ground, and expanding the army at all costs. But as a province in the northwest, which is already poor in itself, the army that can be fed is still limited. In addition, the "central government" has always had a tight control over their local powerful factions, numbers and establishments. At present, there is only one regular army in his hands, which is only 82 armies.

Although he is not afraid of the Central Army, it does not mean that he has the idea of touching the tiger's ass without having anything to do. The Central Army did not give the number, and he still did not dare to expand his troops with great fanfare. Once it really turns its face with the Central Army, even if the Central Army has no time to take care of itself. But without the 120,000 silver dollars a year from the Central Army, he would not be able to support these soldiers even if he expanded to Qinghai alone.

He was wary of the Central Army, but he didn't want to turn his face either. Some things can be regarded as obedience, even if it is not in their own interests, they are not forced. After all, it is still quite beneficial to oneself to have a good relationship with the central government. If you turn your face up, you will only be bad and not good for yourself.

Therefore, he attaches great importance to the training and control of the security corps and the militia groups, which are used to supplement the regular army when necessary, and at the same time to avoid the suspicion of the armed forces. After all, the number of regular armies is limited, but the "central government" has always ignored the local security corps that is armed with local security funds. As for the militia groups, the "central government" will not take care of them.

Qinghai's security regiments are all trained according to the regular army. In addition to the fact that the armament is a little worse. In terms of the ferocity of the battle, it is no worse than the regular army of Tsing Ma. These security regiments included not only infantry, but also a considerable number of cavalry. Even the Qinghai Security Regiment and the Qinghai Military Police Regiment are still the two trump card troops in his hands. and the 100th Division of the 82nd Army, all of which are his fundamental troops.

Of course, because of the lack of a modern military training system, the training and combat level of the entire Qingma is very low, and their regular army is not strong there. But these security regiments are definitely not comparable to their counterparts in the mainland, and those third-rate who can be defeated in one blow cannot be compared. Like the security regiment of the Yunnan Army, it is an absolutely qualified regular army backup force.

These security regiments are not only well-trained, but also not inferior to the regular army of Tsing Ma. At the same time, they are all people of the same race, using religion as a bond to tie up with Qingma. These security regiments have also undergone a large number of actual combat tests in the battles against the Western Route Army and the Tibetan Army.

It was precisely because of this condition that he used these security regiments as a basis to form an army in the shortest possible time. And immediately marched eastward in order to seize the territory of Longdong. Moreover, in addition to some of the elites he drew from the 82nd Army, although this army was newly organized, its combat effectiveness was not too much inferior to the 82nd Army where he started.

But this guy tried his best, and it still made a difference. Because the army's ostensible equipment is too dilapidated, it really cannot afford the expectations of the "central government" on them. In order to drive this army of wild horses, which are ostensibly wild horses, but are in fact wild horses, but are also sliding horses, to their own use. In the end, with the communication of well-intentioned people who had gained some benefits, the army was replenished with a batch of weapons.

It's just that for the two local armed forces, Qingma and Ningma, in order to obtain the territory of Longdong in the northwest of Fujia, Qingma is certain, at least on the surface, it is cooperative. Immediately after receiving the order, troops will be mobilized to cooperate with the operation. The king of Qinghai, who had been peeking at the rich Longdong for a long time, was afraid that there would be changes in Chongqing, and it didn't even take a month from the formation of the troops to the dispatch.

But as the king of Ningxia, the treacherous and cunning Ning Ma has always refused to be tricked. Establishments and weapons are definitely needed, and it is also necessary to take advantage of this opportunity to expand strength. But let him engage in friction with the Shaanxi-Gansu-Ningbo border region in the direction of Ningxia, this old brother who regards the troops in his hands as his life, will not do it alive or dead.

For the king of Ningxia, the old nest of the green horse was too far away from northern Shaanxi. Even if he poked out some basket and shrank it in Qinghai, no one would go to Qinghai to settle accounts with him at this time. But his own territory is on the edge of northern Shaanxi, and once he fights, he is the unlucky one. His troops had never won a battle against the Red Army, which was poorly equipped at the time.

Fighting against the anti-United Nations planes, tanks, and heavy artillery that are already close to northern Shaanxi, wouldn't it take less than two days for him to become a bare-bones commander. The Japanese are not their opponents, not to mention themselves, who are far from being able to compare with the Japanese in terms of training and weaponry?

Even if he is expanding an army, he who does not have many troops in the first place, and who is already an army, has a very limited total strength. As for the army in his eldest brother's hands, it is his heart, and it can't be regarded as his own descendant. With the strength of two armies and hundreds of thousands of well-equipped armies, isn't that asking for your own death?

Even if Qingma Ken really contributes at that time, it will definitely not be someone's opponent, and it will be himself who will lose all his money at that time. In the battle of the four horses rejecting the grandson, he suffered a big loss in this regard. The war was fought in Ningxia, but the benefits were taken away by others.

Now in the face of northern Shaanxi, whose combat effectiveness is far from being comparable to that of the Tanglin thief miscellaneous army back then, it is better to be honest. In addition, a division of the Central Army was hovering on the edge of Ningxia, which added to his doubts. In this year when there are guns, there is everything, and there is nothing without guns.

Who knows if your Central Army has any plans to let yourself kill each other with others and pick up the cheap behind yourself. When your strength is consumed, your idea of annexing in one fell swoop? This kind of thing, your Central Army has not done less. The death of the rabbit and the sorrow of the fox, the mistakes of some local powerful factions who have lost their basic troops make this king of Ningxia very cautious in his actions.

2,000 rifles, you have to sell your own life, don't even think about it? What's more, at this time, he is not willing to bear the charge of provoking friction, and he is even more unwilling to offend northern Shaanxi at this time. Therefore, he needs to be organized, and weapons, equipment, and funds are also indispensable, and the army must also be expanded, but it is impossible to replace the central army and fight against the northern Shaanxi front.
