These two powerful and famous big men obediently raised their hands and surrendered. Not to mention the small army leaders who occupy a city and a county.

No one is a fool, and everyone has already seen Gao Yang's intention to unify the country. At this time, no one wants to do the thing of using the mantis arm as a car. It's not that I don't want to resist, but the difference in strength is too big! If you resist, it's all like hitting a stone with an egg.

Even if there are those who don't want to give up and want to resist, none of their subordinates are willing to follow with all their hearts. In the current trend, no one wants to die in vain.

It's like an avalanche of chain reactions. One after another, the big warlords and the small military leaders issued telegrams one after another, expressing their willingness to submit to Gaoyang.

Zhao Hengti in Hunan, Xiao Yaonan and Chen Jiamo in Hubei, Yuan Zuming in Guizhou, etc., all of them have expressed their sincerity to Gaoyang.

Because too many troops had taken refuge in a short period of time, Gao Yang made another revision to the original army reorganization plan.

On the basis of the original 32 divisions, he again increased the establishment of 12 light infantry divisions, and sent a group of veterans and grassroots officers to reorganize with carefully selected officers and soldiers of Guishun. Gao Yang is ready to use them as a second-line force.

In addition to those who are messing around, those who are not in good health, those who have infectious diseases, and those who smoke heavily have been cleared out of the army, there are also many temporary troops that need to be resettled.

Gao Yang did not give them a regular establishment, and they were all temporarily retained in the name of the local security forces, and they were ready to wait until they were fully controlled before they were reorganized.

Numerous troops quickly entered the territory where submission had been declared. Maintaining law and order, exterminating bandits, deserters, and so on were done in an intense and orderly manner. Under the words and deeds of the German officers, many outstanding young staff officers have done a good job.

A large number of bandits entrenched in various places suffered. These new big-headed soldiers are not the same as the security team in their hometown. They're really dead.

There were reconnaissance bombardments by planes in the sky, artillery bombardment on the ground, and truck chases. Many habitual bandits who have been harming for many years have either been killed or captured and sent to various construction sites to serve hard labor.

A small number of bandits who escaped by luck no longer dared to stay longer, and fled to the place where Gaoyang had not yet succeeded.

Most of the people who fought against bandits were recruits, which was also a kind of actual combat training. Well equipped and trained. Armed from head to toe, soldiers under the cover of aircraft artillery are almost easy to deal with a group of bandits who can only oppress ordinary people.

The main purpose of this large-scale anti-bandit operation is to clear up local law and order, and the other is to let the recruits see blood. After all, no matter how good the training is, it is not really effective the last time the battlefield came.

Naturally, there are professional people to do the things that stabilize the place, and Gao Yang quickly turned his attention to the northwest.

The first is Jing Yuexiu, who has been stationed in Yulin for a long time and is known as the king of Yulin. The position he occupies is very special, it is a necessary place to go south to Xi'an and west to Yinchuan.

This veteran of the Northwest Army fell to Gaoyang not long after General Feng's defeat. Jing Yuexiu saw everything very clearly, and he knew very well in his heart that it would be no good to resist with this little strength in his hands.

After Jing Yuexiu's surrender, Gao Yang's troops in Suiyuan immediately split up and began to move south from northern Shaanxi. It is close to Xi'an, the thousand-year-old capital.

After Yushuai returned to Shun, a large number of troops marched into Henan and began to encircle and suppress Liu Zhenhua's Zhensong army.

The Zhensong Army is a real large-scale bandit army, and it really does all the bad things. Gao Yang was not polite, and after the elite troops of several divisions drove into Henan, it was a tragic encirclement and suppression. Either they were killed, or they were captured and sent to hard labor.

After clearing the Zhensong army, the troops of the three divisions marched west to break the Tong Pass, crossed the Yellow River, and soon marched to the city of Xi'an together with the troops going south. The desperate General Yang finally surrendered Kaesong under the tremendous pressure of internal and external difficulties.

After taking Shaanxi. Gao Yang's army continued to advance westward. After Suiyuan's 6th Division was reinforced, it attacked Yinchuan. In the fertile Hetao Plain, he defeated the last fully formed unit of the Northwest Army, Song Zheyuan.

After capturing Yinchuan, he immediately moved south, and together with the troops from Xi'an, he attacked Lanzhou.

Although the Northwest Army received a large amount of military aid, the morale of the army had been dissipated. The troop was in disarray. The generals were planning for their own way out, and they no longer had the ability to continue fighting.

The Battle of Lanzhou ended in less than a day, and the main generals of the Northwest Army, such as Lu Zhonglin and Sun Lianzhong, surrendered one after another.

Although the Northwest Army no longer has the strength to fight again. But the main reason for such a humiliation is that their soul general, General Feng, had already boarded the plane sent by the polar bear before Lanzhou City was besieged, and escaped in front of the battle in the name of going abroad for investigation!

This incident dealt a devastating blow to the Northwest Army, which was known for its strength and tenacity. These northern men from Qin, Hebei, Luyu, and Yu no longer had the courage to persist after learning the news. Collapse in an instant under the onslaught of aircraft, artillery and armored fighting vehicles.

After occupying Lanzhou, the various units rested for a while and then headed west. Attack the Ma Jiajun who has been entrenched in the northwest for many years.

After the main force of the Ma Jiajun Army, which was dominated by cavalry, was eliminated near Xining, the Sixth Division and other mechanized units were transferred back to North China. Only three infantry divisions were left to continue their advance in the direction of Xinjiang.

Yang Zengxin, chairman of the Xinjiang provincial government, issued a telegram announcing his support for Gaoyang after Gaoyang's troops arrived in Hami. At this point, the entire northwest fell into the hands of Gao Yang.

To the south, an army up the river quickly entered Sichuan. Warlords from all over Sichuan took refuge one after another, and Gaoyang's army basically seized the land of abundance without much fighting.

After that, Gao Yang sent an infantry unit over the mountains into Lhasa, Tibet, and landed in India.

So far, except for Yunnan and Liangguang in the south and Zhang Dashuai in the north, the whole country has basically completed reunification. Gao Yang also gained a large number of energy points through this series of actions.

Target spacetime, 10 Downing Street, London, England.

In this cold season, it was only cloudy in London this morning, and in the afternoon, the sky that was still somewhat bright suddenly became dark, as dark as night.

From time to time, incandescent lightning flashed in the sky, and the deafening sound of thunder resounded between the sky and the earth.

Prime Minister Baldwin, the head of the vast empire on which the sun never sets, is having an important meeting with his cabinet members.

From time to time, an incandescent glow flashed outside the window. The meeting room is illuminated with snow-white water. After the secretaries closed the curtains and turned on the electric lights, Prime Minister Baldwin, with a stern expression, said, "Gentlemen, is the British Empire ready?" ”

Churchill, who was full of fat face, shook the fat on his face with a cigar in his mouth, and said loudly: "Your Excellency, in the past few months, we have built more than a thousand new aircraft!" Although the performance is not as good as the Swordfish aircraft equipped by the Gaoyang army, we have greatly surpassed them in numbers! And this advantage is still expanding. ”

His eyes swept over the ministers in the conference room, and his head was raised. Said proudly: "The Royal Air Force of the British Empire is now fully capable of providing an umbrella in the sky for the naval fleet!" ”

"Your Excellency, do you mean that we can now teach that arrogant Gao Yang a lesson?" Miles, the Secretary of State for Colonial Affairs, asked with a chuckle.

"It still depends on how prepared the Royal Navy is?" Churchill said with a grin.

The Minister of the Navy, Marshal Betty, clenched his fists with both hands, looked at him with a cold expression, and said, "Your Excellency, do you have any good combat suggestions?" ”

Churchill glanced at Prime Minister Baldwin, got his nod, stood up, twisted his fat body to the front of the map, stretched out his hand to the colonies in Southeast Asia, and said, "We can send new planes to these places and use them to scout and attack the Grand Fleet in Gaoyang." to weaken its strength. ”

Saying this, Churchill turned his head to look at Marshal Betty and asked, "By the way, my marshal, how many aircraft carriers can the Royal Navy use now?" Is the renovation of the three Glorious-class aircraft carriers completed? ”

Marshal Betty clapped her hands. "The Royal Navy now has five aircraft carriers at its disposal!" Including the three Glorious-class ships that have not yet been rebuilt, but are already in service. In total, the five aircraft carriers can carry more than one hundred and fifty new aircraft. ”

"Good." Churchill nodded and said, "After the land-based aviation has caused massive damage to the Grand Fleet, the Royal Navy can go and clear the field." ”

"Is there going to be a war?" Minister Miles asked aloud. Everyone in the room began to talk.

Prime Minister Baldwin raised his eyebrows slightly, reached out and tapped on the table in front of him. After drawing everyone's attention, he whispered, "Quiet." ”

The prestige of Mr. Prime Minister was still very high, and the originally somewhat noisy conference room soon fell silent. Churchill also returned to his seat.

Prime Minister Baldwin reached out and rubbed his chin. He said aloud: "It is not an easy task to fight against the fleet that ranks third in the world. And the fleet has to fight across thousands of miles. Military expenditures and possible battle losses will be very large. ”

After taking a sip of the water glass on the side, he continued, "However, in order to safeguard the interests of the empire in the Far East, once the situation is serious enough to be maintained, it is still necessary to go to war without hesitation. ”

"Your Excellency, what do you mean by the unsustainable state of affairs?" Chancellor Miles asked, confused.

"Gao Yang has been asking us for Hong Kong! Moreover, the markets of the empire in the Far East were being squeezed out little by little. These are all things that we cannot accept. We had been patient with the fear of excessive naval losses, but now that we have enough air power, Prime Minister Baldwin turned to look at his foreign secretary and said, "You go to the magic capital again." Convey the Empire's demands to Gao Yang, and if he is not willing to accept the Empire's goodwill, then we will take the last resort! ”

Foreign Minister Eritan nodded and asked aloud, "Your Excellency Prime Minister, what are the requirements of the Empire?" ”

Prime Minister Baldwin chuckled lightly and said, "The Hong Kong issue is not discussed, the customs are not handed over, the concession is not returned, and all the treaties signed before must continue to be implemented!" You have to make him understand that his air superiority is gone! ”

He raised his eyebrows, and then said, "If Gao Yang accepts it, then we can choose to continue to maintain the status quo." If he doesn't accept it, then wait to meet the wrath of the British Empire! (To be continued......)
