Northwest, the staff headquarters, Cai Ye and Yang Yuanzhao are far away in Shandong, and the base camp is controlled by Feng Yuxiang, Jiang Baili and others, after being reminded by the Intelligence Bureau, they know that this battle has to be fought, itself, in the General Staff, the plan to unify China has never stopped, with the enhancement of the Northwest Army again and again, this plan has been revised dozens of times, and now a huge system has been formed, but there is no way, Yang Yuanzhao vetoed these plans, although, The northwest already has the power to unify the whole of China, but Yang Yuanzhao does not dare to guarantee that when the reunification is made, the people will not suffer more, there will be no other variables, and even enter a time when the situation cannot end, when the time comes, not only will the northwest be dragged down, but the hope of China's rise may no longer exist.

Now, it is not the Northwest that takes the initiative to provoke, but the Japanese who are in contact, just with the will of the Revolutionary Party and Beiyang, no one is willing to be subservient, there is no two days and no two people, the European War, the Northwest of Germany is too busy to take care of itself, plus there is a powerful country Japan to seize, there are them dragging the main force of the Northwest, they just follow the action, give it a try, the Northwest does not have a large-scale expansion of the army, at least they know that this is the case, it may not be impossible to win, they have not thought about it, they have expanded out of the 2 million army, They are all munitions provided by the Northwest, and under the condition that they can produce a full range of munitions, expanding the army is just a casual matter.

Unfortunately, the calculations of the Beiyang and the revolutionary party were wrong, and China lagged behind the whole world for more than 300 years, especially after 1840, when it was broken by Britain and reduced to a semi-colonial and semi-feudal society. Begin to learn from the West and save the country by self-improvement. It's a pity that they don't learn like this, so let's take the revolutionary party as an example. Most of them are studying in Japan, relying on a few non-commissioned officers who have studied in Japan, to train the troops, even if they have more funds, they have an army of about 2 million, but their combat effectiveness is at most similar to that of the militia regiment.

Beiyang is slightly better, which itself is the foundation of Yuan Shikai's small station training. Their troops are more regular, training and expanding the army, and they are also decent, at least, they are regular soldiers, and Yuan Shikai studied Germany in small station training, and after decades of development, the strength is relatively strong, and even when the northwest started. He also recruited a lot of low-level officers from Beiyang, but after all, it was the German army a few decades ago, and he was shocked and outdated.

Beiyang and the revolutionary party would not have thought that in today's world. Not only is science and technology developing with each passing day, but even the form of warfare has undergone tremendous changes. Historically, let alone the First World War. Even in World War II, the Japanese Army. When the Soviet Red Army entered the customs, it only took a little bit of strength, and the millions of Kwantung Army were shattered, and there may be a relationship between strength and the level of soldiers, but it is an indisputable fact that Japan is backward in the concept of building an army.

Now Germany is strengthened by the northwest, and above the army, it is already the late stage of World War I, so there is a miracle that the British and French are pressed and beaten, even if it is the main attacking force, the battle loss is only one-tenth of that of the British and French. Such a German army can already beat the Japanese army, not to mention that their strategy and tactics are learned from the Northwest Army.

From the very beginning of the establishment of the army, the Northwest paid the most attention to the technical equipment and firepower, and even in the basic technical equipment, stronger than the German army, artillery density, in addition to the 75 mm artillery to the regiment level, 50, 60, 80 mm mortars, almost arranged to the squad, a division of 28,000 people, with more than 2,000 mortars at all levels, in terms of artillery density, even the density of World War II may not be so large.

In addition to technical equipment, the concept is also World War II level, asymmetric strike, infantry and artillery coordination, regional pressure and force superiority, these are the focus of training, if you add air support and ground-air integration, it is proper to fight World War II combat effectiveness, with advanced combat effectiveness for decades, there may be some problems in beating the German army, and there is no problem in fighting the Japanese army, the most important thing is that there are secret weapons in the northwest, in the war against Russia, the prototype of tanks and armored vehicles has come out, now, With the continuous in-depth research of technical personnel, all kinds of steel, engines, and even large military machinery have been invested, and the progress in this area is very fast, which is equivalent to the tanks around the 30s of the 20th century, and the protection capacity and firepower are even slightly improved compared with the 30s.

In this battle, Yang Yuanzhao could not use tanks and armored vehicles, and even airplanes, but only used them in Shandong, and after killing the Japanese warships, he hid them, and finally led Europe to pay attention to airships, especially Germany's preparation to build an integrated division-level airship force, France, Britain, and Russia are also following up, and even the United States on the other side of the ocean, the number of airships currently under construction by the powers is almost more than 2,500, such a huge number, how much money will be consumed by the powers, he will not be kind, Let them come to their senses and re-develop the aircraft.

In the command headquarters, there is a large amount of information coming over every moment, on the military map, Beiyang mobilized 65 towns, 1.17 million troops, and the revolutionary party is even more, mobilized 127 divisions and 1.58 million troops, the mighty army, almost the entire railway is congested, they temporarily requisitioned trains, and did not even avoid the northwest, it is simply a war to live at home.

"Baili, how is it, how is the situation of the troops below!" Feng Yuxiang finished signing, turned back to Jiang Baili who was sitting next to him and asked.

Jiang Baili was really crying and laughing at this time, he had been the principal of a military academy for a few years, and he could be regarded as having studied both China and the West, but in the entire history of world wars, such a child's play had really not been encountered, and they were still with the help of the Intelligence Bureau, ready to spend great efforts to dig out where the main force of the other party was, but they were so unsophisticated, completely ignored, and completely exposed themselves to the noses of others, if it were not for the unwillingness of the northwest to destroy the railway line, as long as some explosives were placed on these trains, I am afraid that the army of more than 2 million, A few hundred explosions can be solved.

"It's supposed that we've grown!" Zhang Xiaohuai said with some amazement, he couldn't help but recall that a few years ago, whether it was when he went to Japan to study, or when he was in Germany, he didn't think about the role that intelligence could play, at most, only when he entered the war zone, he secretly marched, but when he came to the northwest, he saw a lot of fresh knowledge, and the improvement of the army's combat effectiveness by technology and equipment went without saying, which was revolutionary, but there were no other aspects.

If it is a war between countries, because the national borders are relatively secretive, it must be laid out in advance, and even from the most subtle places, such as the price of various daily necessities, the quantity and type of import and export commodities, and the import quantity and price of several military necessities, these extremely subtle places, you can judge what preparations a country is making, and these places cannot be faked at all, because this is what is necessary to start a war, with general universal laws.

It is precisely with these baptisms that when we look back at the revolutionary party and Beiyang, we are still immersed in the strategy and tactics before the 20th century, and there is more than one grade behind the northwest, not to mention that the difference in technology and equipment is worlds apart, even if there is not much difference in technology and equipment, the same for the same words, one side knows the situation of the other side well, and how to fight, just like playing a game, one side is still black, and the other side is a satellite map, so there is no way to fight at all.

Feng Yuxiang and Jiang Baili both nodded in agreement, as the first Northwest Army to be established, although it was established relatively late, only a few years, but the idea and idea of army building has always been the world's top, and even the leading army power Germany, now, in view of the requirements that have been always, the aircraft can not be used, but the technical equipment, army building ideas, personal quality and many other aspects, completely have the upper hand, even if it is more than 2 million troops, the main force of the Northwest First Army is still in Shandong, But it's perfectly fine to deal with either way.

At present, the northwest has 1.8 million troops, 300,000 in Shandong, and 500,000 stationed in various places can not move, and the remaining 1 million people are divided into 5 group armies, and in the end, only 3 and a half were dispatched, the Beiyang side is 2 group armies, and the revolutionary party is a group army and 4 independent brigades, Zhang Xiaohuai is responsible for dealing with Beiyang, and the south is led by Jiang Baili, this is the first time he has led the troops alone after becoming the principal of the Northwest Military Academy.

With the help of the developed railway network in the northwest, in 20 hours, that is, less than 2 days, they have arrived at the border site in the northwest and are stationed, and are intensively building fortifications, and at this time, the fastest Beiyang, from the border of the northwest, has at least two days to go.

The reason for defending on the spot is because of Yang Yuanzhao's request, he doesn't want to startle the snake, at this time Japan is still floating on the water, in case of a surprise attack in the northwest, completely annihilating the revolutionary party and the 2 million troops in Beiyang, Japan found that the northwest is in Qingdao, and it does not dare to attack at all, this is not easy to do, and the plan that has been prepared for a long time is tantamount to a complete failure, which is somewhat unacceptable.

China, which has been quiet for several years, is about to usher in war again, and some sensitive, or businessmen in the newly built cities of the railway hub, obviously found that the difference, the revolutionary party and Beiyang, invariably entered the new city, and the original controllers of the new city did not appear, as if they were doing a peaceful handover, some sensitive, all hidden, and some speculators, began a series of wars, after the cloud of war enveloped Europe, the same shrouded over China's head.
