While the front line was holding a meeting, in Zhaoyuan, Shandong, the General Headquarters of the National War Army held a media reception to report on this major victory.

Since the outbreak of the Shandong War, not only have the media of various countries been blocked by the East China political axe, and they are not allowed to go to the battlefield to carry out any shooting, but even the domestic media have also done the same.

This war has also attracted the attention of countries around the world, and compared with the war in Europe, this local war in Asia seems to be more exciting.

On the one hand, it was the first victory of China, which had been weak for a long time, and on the other hand, it was the comeback of Yueben, who had suppressed China for a long time, after the defeat in Shandong.

The biggest attraction is how far the Chinese [***] team will be tortured and killed after the book really shows 120% attention, which is the result that people all over the world are looking forward to, and it is also the biggest attraction. On the other hand, it will be interesting to see what kind of resistance China can make.

However, the countries of the world have little confidence in China, and according to the surveys of some Western media, the people of many countries generally believe that Ben will win this war.

Of course, the destruction of the Combined Fleet of the Navy, two days ago, took the world by surprise, but this news is unmistakable, because the main warships of the Combined Fleet of the Navy's Combined Fleet have all been sunk, and the political axe of the Navy's government has not come forward to refute the rumors, and this is a defeat that cannot be concealed.

After this news, it was the news that the East China Army had annihilated 300,000 troops on the battlefield in Shandong, and this news was generally questioned.

The media in many countries have come to a new conclusion about the destruction of the combined fleet, that is, the Shandong army has no way to retreat, and there is no support for it, and they will be drowned in China's huge population of 400 million.

Although they no longer doubt that China can win the war on land, they do not believe that the Chinese [***] team can annihilate 300,000 troops so quickly, which is impossible for any country in the world, so many media even ridiculed the East China political axe for not having military common sense, thinking that it was a false good news issued by the East China political axe in order to improve morale.

Even Yuan Shikai, who was in Yanjing, was skeptical, and his political adviser Morrison said it was impossible, and apparently the gringo didn't believe it either.

But what made Yuan Shikai feel that Dajiangdong was going was that since the collapse of the United Fleet, there was no suspense in the Shandong war, and the only suspense was how much the East China political axe paid to win this war.

This makes Yuan Shikai's mood more complicated, as a Chinese, winning a battle is indeed happy, it is impossible to say that he laughs when he hears that he has lost a battle, right? But as far as internal strife is concerned, the young man's prestige in China is getting higher and higher, and he has already been left far behind, not to mention that after the imperial turmoil, the difference in reputation between the two sides is already 108,000 miles away.

So Yuan Shikai was depressed!

The power struggle between Yuan Shikai and Duan Qirui is still going on at this time, and this power struggle is a kind of tug-of-war situation, and both sides are waiting for the other to compromise.

Duan Qirui was relatively single at this time, saying that he was not sick, and he would not do it if Yuan Shikai did not give him real power.

Yuan Shikai after the imperial turmoil, has been faintly unable to suppress the internal situation in Beiyang, in this case he is eager to pull Duan Qirui out to support the crisis, Yuan Shikai is not afraid that Duan Qirui will liquidate them after gaining real power, after all, he said that the friendship of small station training is still there.

It's just that Yuan Shikai is worried about his inheritance, if he puts the real power to Duan Qirui, Duan Qirui will obviously not let Yuan Keding inherit his throne.

Yuan Keding also resolutely opposed the transfer of real power to Duan Qirui, so Yuan Shikai couldn't decide for a while, so he could only drag it out slowly.

It has been the fourth day since the start of the war on the Shandong battlefield, and both Yuan Shikai and various Chinese and foreign media have paid close attention to the development of the war situation.

At this time, the General Headquarters of the Shandong Zhaoyuan National War Army suddenly held a press conference, obviously there was important news to be announced, which pulled people's nerves.

People have speculated about what news will be announced at this press conference, but as far as the habits of East China Political Axe are concerned, most of the press conferences they hold are to announce good news, and since the establishment of East China Political Axe, they have never seen them release the news of defeat.

When people look back on the history of the military development of the political axe in East China, they will find that they have won successive victories, overcoming obstacles and obstacles along the way, and there is no resistance.

And the biggest 'victim' is the political axe, their navy has lost many times in the face of the East China political axe, either by the submarine or by the plane of the East China political axe, and this time the main ship of the combined fleet was completely wiped out in the Bohai Sea.

No matter how the war situation in Shandong develops, no matter how much the East China political axe pays in Shandong, the fate of this defeat has been decided.

Moreover, they have lost their navy, and their international status has fallen to a complete mess, they are an island country, and without the navy, what future can they have?

And China's international status will inevitably rise sharply after this war, more precisely, China's East China political axe, which is an autonomous political axe with a local surname, and China's Beiyang political axe is obviously very weak, but they are nominally the central political axe, which shows that China's internal situation is still somewhat complicated.

However, the international community generally treats the East China political axe as the central political axe, because in terms of power, the East China Autonomous Political Axe controls the Chinese Customs, and also controls the coinage rights and other powers, far exceeding the Beiyang political axe. This is especially true financially, as East China occupies most of China's major economic provinces, and its territory is constantly expanding.

Although it is an autonomous political axe, it is generally recognized by the major international powers, so there is no country that insists that the political axe of East China is a local political axe and does not engage in dialogue with them, except for the original, of course.

The press conference was not announced before, and it was obviously a relatively temporary one, but Chinese and foreign media personnel were waiting every day, and it did not take too long to prepare, and the press conference could be held every minute.

Just when people were looking forward to it, Xia Jun, Chen Xuanyu and Zhang Bolan appeared in front of more than 300 Chinese and foreign reporters.

The moment Xia Jun walked out, those reporters began to take pictures of him with their cameras, the kind of camera that pulls a cloud of smoke rising naturally does not have it, and the camera pulls it is a pungent smell of chemicals, and it has long been included in the unwelcome list.

Most of the cameras used by these reporters are color cameras produced by the East China Group, which are the most advanced cameras in the world, surpassing Kodak.

Through the attention of this young head of state, such as doubts and surprises, newspapers from various countries have always been able to sell well, and the progress of the Sino-Chinese war in Shandong has made it even more destined that there will be a strong market for the reports of Guan Yu, the young head of state, which happened here.

The reason why so many foreign journalists came was naturally because they came to the market, and this was news that could guarantee the sales of newspapers, so it was natural to seize it.

When Chinese reporters saw Xia Jun, there was a hint of fanaticism in their eyes, and the people in the eastern provinces believed in the chairman of the committee the most, and the chairman's reputation and prestige were growing.

The Shandong War is of great concern to the 40,000,000 compatriots in various provinces of China, and no matter what newspaper it is, they want to get first-hand information about the situation in Shandong.

The news that some newspapers have encountered a great victory is no longer limited to the level of free distribution, but has become a fierce competition for free newspaper delivery.

However, the newspaper is not at a loss, anyway, the kind of newspaper with free schedule is definitely the advertising position that those businesses strive for, and some businesses even make an appointment in advance.

With the development of China's economy, advertising has also become an important means of publicity, and there are many businesses that are good at using advertising, and the commercial accumulation of this era is much stronger than that of China in later generations.

"Hello everyone, it's a pleasure to be able to hold this press conference today because it's the fourth day after the start of the war! It's really pleasant. Xia Jun walked to the table and showed a signature smile at the long guns and short cannons of many reporters, and anyone could feel the strong confidence that overflowed in his subtle smile.

Xia Jun's words made a group of reporters a little incomprehensible, and after Xia Jun sat down, he took the microphone and said: "Today's press conference is to announce a major success. The war has ended, lasted only four days, and it is indeed very pleasant. ”

Xia Jun's words made the reporters below suddenly scratch, is the war over? Was the young Führer joking with them?

Or is this young Führer crazy? Of course, if he is crazy, it is obvious that the two staff officers around him will not go crazy with him, so it may be very small.

At this moment, the chief of the general staff of the National War Army, who was sitting on the side, stood up and said: "I will now give a brief briefing on the major achievements of the 21 November. ”

Chen Xuanyu said in an extremely proud tone: "On November 21, the East China Army, the Beiyang Army, the Sichuan Army and other Chinese national armies launched a general attack on the Shandong army, which lasted five hours, and the general headquarters of the army surrendered to China, and the Shandong war ended in four days, and the national army annihilated more than 500,000 soldiers, and the number of captured troops is being counted, but it will not be less than 400,000. ”

Saying that, Chen Xuanyu sat down, and the briefing was over.

It's a simple report! How long can you count on? Could it be that he made it clear how the East China Army fought?

As soon as Chen Xuanyu's voice fell, the reporters suddenly became more excited, many reporters looked excited, but many reporters were very skeptical, but even if they were questioning, they were very excited, selling point! Selling point! That's definitely a selling point!

Whether it's true or fake, it's super selling news.

If it is true, then the settlement of the Shandong War in four days can only be described as a miracle. If it is a lie, then just wait to taunt the young Führer for the entertainment of the populace!

"May I ask the chairman, is this true? Sorry, we don't doubt the credibility of the political axe, which has always been a convincing thing for us. We just can't believe it, how did our national army achieve a complete victory in four days? A reporter who couldn't resist the rules and asked questions without permission was so excited that he didn't know how to express it.

"What is the flag of our [***] team?" Xia Jun asked.

"The East China Army is the Thunder Battle Flag, and the Sichuan Army and the Beiyang Army use the Iron-blooded Eighteen-Star Flag!" The journalist replied.

The iron-blooded eighteen-star flag was used during the Xinhai Revolution, and was later positioned as the military flag of the Republic of China Army, which was accepted by the provinces, and only the East China Army stood on its own, because the thunder battle flag appeared earlier than the iron-blooded eighteen-star flag.

Xia Jun nodded with a smile and said, "Yes, we are lightning, we are thunder!" We have more burning iron and blood. ”
