10 Downing Street, United Kingdom.

"Distinguished Gentlemen and Ladies,

In this premeditated Concession massacre led by Zhang Shusheng, the political axe has just made a decision. 1. The British Empire and its colonies will impose an economic blockade on southwest China and impose a new round of a more severe arms embargo on the whole of barbaric and backward China. 2. We demand that the Chinese government hold a new round of negotiations on the concession issue, arrest the perpetrators, and give a reasonable explanation for the atrocities. In order to prevent the recurrence of similar incidents, we have decided to send a division of marines into the concession to carry out corresponding public security and solve crimes, and to retain a sufficient naval force in the coastal waters of Shanghai to ensure the safety of the overseas Chinese. 3. The British Empire will take separate military action against the southwest, and the southwestern political bloc headed by Zhang Shusheng will be fiercely counterattacked by the British Empire......"

The Emperor's Palace, Foreign Affairs Office...... In view of the urgency of the situation, the Great Empire decided to send an additional force to the Hongkou area of Shanghai again to fulfill the task of protecting overseas Chinese and factories. The Great Empire will join the British, Chinese, and Chinese negotiations on the issue of the new concession, and strive to ...... In order to hunt down the culprit, the Great Empire will cooperate with the British [***] side to take some necessary military actions......"

Kunming, chairman of the "Three Provinces Joint Governance Axe", said that the reaction of the two countries this time was very fierce, and it can be called a thunderstorm. In the compound of the chairman's office of the joint political axe, Wu Tiejun was accompanying Zhang Shusheng while fishing and talking about the current situation.

Zhang Shusheng hung the bait on the hook, shook his hand and waved, and then put the fishing rod that had changed the bait into fishing again, "Some dogs are used to biting people all day long." If one day, someone hits him with a stick, guess what it thinks......"

Wu Tiejun also picked up a bamboo fishing rod on the ground, lined up the fish float, hung the bait, and followed the fishing, "Yes." The country has been weak for a long time and has been repeatedly bullied by Western powers. In the eyes of the Chinese people, it is just one more time and one less humiliation. In the eyes of the Western executioners, these are the things they are used to. Once resisted, they will not get used to it. ”

"These executioners always think: How good it would be if the Chinese would always bow their heads, bend their waists, and accept the torture and killing of their so-called civilized people. Haven't they been like this for 100 years? When killing becomes common sense, and counter-killings are encountered, it is so unexpected. The fish drift moved slightly, up and down, and finally was pulled into the water suddenly, Zhang Shusheng violently lifted the fishing rod, and a crucian carp of more than half a catty was caught: "It's a pity that I met me, a barbarian who doesn't play cards according to common sense." They may be thinking that if it weren't for me, they would have been as comfortable killing and robbing as they had been every time before. ”

"Chairman, everyone from top to bottom is absolutely supportive of you." Wu Tiejun said resolutely. It is precisely because of the chairman's unreasonable play of cards that China has seen such a glimmer of hope.

Zhang Shusheng took off the crucian carp on the fishing hook, threw it into the bucket on the side, and said: "As for the reaction of the British and the two countries, Shanghai, with the strong intervention of the United States and Germany, they no longer dare to take advantage of the new round of massacres. Take three or two points of our nation, and he said that we will take back three hundred times. As for the other economic blockades and military threats, they are small things. A government that serves the people should not be afraid of these angry invaders. ”

"What do you mean, Chairman?" Wu Tiejun asked expectantly.

Zhang Shusheng: "My meaning is very simple, prepare for war. Britain said that the two countries had lost face in Shanghai, and they would not just forget it. They're trying to knock me down. Yun Xian, you show the two pieces of information you just received to Senior Commander Wu. ”

Wu Tiejun took the information and saw that it was actually an intelligence sent back from Myanmar.

Judging from the intelligence, on the basis of the original Burmese brigade and an Indian brigade in Burma, Britain urgently withdrew the British Fourth Division in India, the Second Regiment of the British Royal Gurkhas, and the British Fifth Indian Division from India.

In this way, there will be two full divisions of troops and an Indian brigade, and a Gurkha regiment will be involved in the battle for the attack on the southwest.

Another piece of information was sent back from overseas. According to the intelligence, he and Britain are in intensive negotiations, and it is very likely that they will launch a military attack on the coastal areas bordering Guangxi and Guangdong.

However, because it is too difficult to obtain information, the level of detail of this information is not as high as that of the first information.

"Chairman, it seems that this time the British and I are preparing to attack us in two directions, and the battle will be difficult." Wu Tiejun summed it up and said.

Zhang Shusheng: "That's good. Some people may think that it would be good if I did 'evil things' and didn't report myself. But if we don't stand up in the southwest, the unlucky ones will only be those civilians who have no ability to resist, and it should be the British and themselves who are weak-minded.

I define this battle plan as a border defense operation, and the Yunnan side will be entrusted to you to be responsible, and the first and second divisions will be transferred. The 3rd Division was responsible for guarding the French in the Vietnamese direction. The garrison division in Guangxi was responsible for blocking the enemy who might land in Guangxi. The combat difficulties of each division are relatively large, and the Guards Division will serve as a firefighting team. All work is already underway, so you should rush to the south with your troops. ”

"Don't worry, chairman, this is a border war against aggression, and we will definitely fight with majesty."

There are still a lot of sequelae of this incident, first of all, the pressure from all sides made Zhang Shusheng feel a little breathless, not only foreign powers, but even domestic forces also accused Zhang Shusheng of not deserving.

"These dogs say, only when it is their turn to die, will they feel that Lao Tzu is right."

Zhang Shusheng has no regrets at all, some things can not be explained clearly by one mouth, nor can they be explained by reasoning. Han Jian, pedantic people, spokesmen of foreign forces, big compradors, warlords and politicians, who cares about the life and death of civilians, no matter how much they die, it will not affect their income.

Only when foreigners die, these foreign slaves, these Han and annihilated lackeys, will panic, for fear of losing their vested interests.

Unfortunately, now is not the time to pack them up.

Zhang Shusheng is an extremely alternative person, as long as he feels that what he is doing is right, people-oriented, and nation-oriented, no matter how many people oppose it, he will do the same.

For example, he fully foresaw this war, and of course imperialism would not give up and would not rest on its own, so it would be best for everyone to do it in earnest.

However, even when preparing for war, Zhang Shusheng still did not stop the construction problem in the three provinces. Although there has been a certain economic blockade, the sales of Western medicines and high-end luxury goods have not been greatly affected, and as long as overseas trade is not carried out in the name of the southwest for the time being, the impact will not be too great.

A tank improvement technology provided to the Germans and an economic cooperation program promised the Americans to open up the southwest played a considerable role. Moreover, the two countries are also very reluctant to see Britain take the opportunity to increase its influence in China's coastal towns, which can be regarded as a constraint. After Zhang Shusheng personally invited the war, the British said that the two countries only took the action of sending more troops to Shanghai, and spilled their real anger to the southwest.

In addition to building more factories and mining more mines and small oil fields, Zhang Shusheng also ordered the relevant departments to come up with relevant plans for land reform in their jurisdictions, and when this border battle is over, the corresponding land reform will be put on the agenda.

Since foreign trade has been affected to a certain extent, Zhang Shusheng has no choice but to adopt the method of expanding domestic demand, building internal problems, and improving the people's living standards to ensure the rapid development of the economy. Large-scale road construction plans, a large number of construction plans, will be announced as soon as possible, and countless farmers will go from the countryside to mines and construction sites.

―――――――― Ruili, a certain border guard camp "assemble!!" ”

After a sharp assembly post, the cold voices of the squad leaders grabbed the soldiers from their warm beds early in the morning.

From time to time, this battalion-sized unit was urgently assembled.

This is the station of the 1st Battalion of the 3rd Regiment of the 2nd Division of the Yunnan Garrison, which is responsible for a transportation artery at the junction of Ruili and Burma.

The traffic and living conditions are worse than those in the southwest, which makes the garrison here very miserable, and even the daily food is drawn by horse. The 3rd Garrison Division was expanded on the scale of the 2nd Regiment of the 1st Reserve Division. With the expansion method of one with two, the old and the new are mixed. In addition to the original Second Regiment of the Reserve Division, it was also incorporated into the selected units of the former Dian Army.

It has to be said that as a result of the domestic melee, although the combat effectiveness of the Dian army is generally low, there are some veterans who are good at fighting in the entire Dian army system. It's just that because of the bad atmosphere, these veterans are extremely afraid of death every time they fight. Even if they don't run away on the spot, they always try to survive on the battlefield in every possible way.

In this way, those who want to survive always have good combat skills.

The first battalion, like the rest of the garrison, was reorganized under the high pressure of the original main force. The principle of one for two has also constrained those veterans who have been reorganized under the condition of ensuring combat effectiveness to the greatest extent.

“…… Some of you are from the reserve forces, and some of you are from the old Dian army. But I don't care where you come from, I only know that you are Lao Tzu's soldiers. After six months of training, the scum among you has been eliminated, and the rest are basically like a person, like a soldier. ”

As the commander of the first battalion, Chen Jiheng is also a veteran, he used to be under Lu Rongting, and after the reorganization, he was transferred to the first battalion as a major commander. In the past six months, this unit, which has only received one month of emergency training except for reserve soldiers, and has no appearance at all, has been pulled to this border guard camp for a six-month assault training.

Only now has this unit had some human appearance. With the enrichment of the original reserve forces, the combat level has been improved. It has been able to afford the border defense task of Ruili Nongdao Town, Yunnan.

"I think you know about the massacre of my civilians in Shanghai by the British and myself. Of course, for some of you who don't eat oil and salt, Lao Tzu knows that these patriotic feelings are useless. However, Lao Tzu wants to tell you that if the British and Yu himself rushed over, who would dare to run away and fight, Lao Tzu's team of overseers killed him on the spot. ”

Chen Jiheng is also an old fritter of the Gui family, of course he knows how many problems these old people of the Gui and Yunnan families have. It is too difficult to talk to them about the general interests of the nation. So, in the past few months, I have been training them with grace and power. Rewards and punishments are parallel, and the practice of eliminating scum has made these veterans who are paid much higher than before finally look like soldiers.

"Second Company Commander Dai Anlan!"

"Here!!"

"Order your troops to immediately go to the Dumb Pass, strengthen the fortifications, and alert the direction of Burma 24 hours a day."

"Yes!"

Because of his outstanding results in the battlefield assessment, Dai Anlan was transferred to the grassroots officer of the garrison and became a company commander of the garrison.

After coming to Ruili's border town, Chen Jiheng had an intuition that there would be a battle here. Because, on the other side of the town of Nongdao is the British.

And here is also an important checkpoint for Myanmar to enter Yunnan from the direction of Ruili.

All sides have mobilized troops, and war seems to be imminent.

================ this border battle is completed, it will enter the chapter of the War of Resistance. Ask for recommended tickets and subscriptions, brothers, support it~~
