After Sun Wen was arrested, the whole of China and even the world was divided into two voices, one faction shouted and beaten, and the other faction demanded release, and the main force of the shouting and beating faction was the old man of the Restoration Society back then, as well as some generals in Beiyang, as well as overseas Chinese organizations, who believed that Sun Wen and his family were bringing disaster to the country and the people, splitting the country, and provoking war, and should be punished.

There are more forces that strongly demand the release of Sun Wen, and the entire academic community is running for Sun Wen, and there are even waves of demonstrations in various places, and people like Yue Mei and others have also issued statements one after another, expressing extreme concern, especially Yue Ben, strongly demanding that Sun Wen be released in the southwest, especially this time, not only Sun Wen was arrested, but also a large number of Kuomintang backbones, some of whom still have the identity of Yu Ben, and Yu Ben used this as an excuse to interfere in a big way.

However, Qiao Yu was not disturbed by these noises, but took a decisive approach, as much as possible to clean up Sun Wen's family, Lu Rongting has been the warlord of Guangdong Chen Jiongming also acted hard at this time, Chen Jiongming used to be the governor of Guangdong, when Qinzhou was a battle, Long Jiguang was arrested, the Guangdong army was leaderless, Lu Rongting took the opportunity to take the two Guangzhou, but many generals of the Guangdong army re-supported Chen Jiongming as the commander of the Guangdong army, as a leader to resist Lu Rongting.

After Sun Wen arrived in Guangzhou, Chen Jiongming cared about the incense and fire, and he really wanted to use Sun Wen's fame to fight against Lu Rongting, so he supported Sun Wen very much, but the two people had serious differences in political ideas, such as Sun Wen's formation of an extraordinary congress this time, and the election of any generalissimo, all made Chen Jiongming very disgusted, and Sun Wen was even ready to contact all parties to carry out the Northern Expedition, and Chen Jiongming, who advocated inter-provincial autonomy and peaceful consultation, was resolutely opposed.

Now that the Southwest Army has descended from the sky to arrest Sun Wen, Chen Jiongming suddenly realized that if he wants to deal with Lu Rongting, he can use the power of the southwest, and now the more ruthless he is against Sun Wen's henchmen, the more he can please Qiao Yu, so Chen Jiongming also wantonly arrested Sun Wen's henchmen.

With the efforts of Lu Rongting and Chen Jiongming, most of Sun Wen's followers were arrested, only a small number fled to Hong Kong, and some fled to Yuben, but the backbone was gone, and these shrimp soldiers and crab generals had no effect.

Just when the whole country was paying attention to how Qiao Yu was going to deal with Sun Wen, suddenly the newspapers and broadcasts in the southwest began to disclose a large number of inside information about Tao Chengzhang's case, saying that the killer of the year had been caught, that is, Sun Wen's most trusted henchman Jiang Zhiqing, he assassinated Tao Chengzhang twice, the first time was foiled, the second time was the use of explosives surnamed Lie, Tao Chengzhang died tragically, with the disclosure of the Tao case, Song Jiaoren's case was brought up again.

Now it is only three or five years since these two cases, the parties are there, although a lot of evidence has been destroyed, there are still many clues, and what is eye-catching is the case of Huang Yuanyong, the three major assassinations were turned over at the same time.

In addition, when Sun Wen was arrested, a large number of correspondence documents were also seized, including the documents of He Yueben, these things are very lethal, with a large number of disclosures, presented to the Chinese people a brand new Sun Wen, a murderer, a traitor!

The Supreme Procuratorate of Southwest China has begun to investigate the case of Sun Wen's treason, Jiang Zhiqing and others have also been interrogated one after another, just when the in-depth investigation was carried out, Qiao Yu finally expressed his views on Sun Wen's case, in the conversation Qiao Yu pointed out that the arrest of Sun Wen was not the reason for political struggle, but that Sun Wen was suspected of assassination, treason and other crimes, if a criminal is allowed to be so swaggering and deceiving, it will definitely threaten the security of the country, so in the spirit of being responsible for the country and the nation, Sun Wen will be arrested.

Anyone who pays attention to Sun Wen's case can observe and defend Sun Wen, because of the large number of people involved in the case and the large time span, it is necessary to conduct a detailed investigation before a public prosecution can be initiated.

Qiao Yu's conversation also quickly spread throughout the country, although everyone did not believe that what Qiao Yu said did not involve political reasons, this is a deceptive word, but everyone still cares more about the trial issue that Qiao Yu said, as long as they can resort to law, they can have a glimmer of life, so almost all the celebrities in the national legal circles have taken action, and even hired several legal advisers to form a strong team of lawyers, ready to defend Sun Wen.

In fact, since he caught Sun Wen, Qiao Yu didn't care much about all kinds of criticism, and what was waiting for Sun Wen was to spend the rest of his life in prison, Qiao Yu was different from other warlords and politicians, since he decided something, he would not change, it can be said that the law is just a passing scene.

What made Qiao Yu even more concerned was the telegram sent by Chen Jiongming, in which Chen Jiongming shed blood and tears, accusing Lu Rongting of atrocities in Guangdong, and asking Qiao Yu to come forward to punish Lu Rongting, and change Guangdong to a clear world, bright and bright.

"Chief of Staff, you see that this Chen Jiongming is still relatively superior, Lu Rongting is quite cooperative on the issue of Sun Wen, I don't know what excuse to use to enter Liangguang, he sent me such a telegram, the content of the telegram is announced, and then we will send troops to Liangguang under the pretext of mediating the contradiction between Guangzhou, and there must be a suitable outlet to the sea in the southwest!"

In Qiao Yu's original plan, he didn't want to develop too quickly, the key was to lay a solid foundation, but the benefits brought by the First World War were far beyond imagination, sitting on the world's strongest army, Qiao Yu was not willing to see China fall into an endless civil war, and put aside the conceptual shackles of later generations, in fact, now Sun Wen's family is not very strong, just a gang of rabble, and there is no need to even make a big move to take them, so why not do it.

After dealing with Sun Wen, the two Guangxi are ripe, the two Guangxi themselves are full of contradictions, and it just gave Qiao Yu an excuse, Wu Tong, the chief of staff, is also very much in favor of sending troops to the two Guangzhou, and now the biggest problem restricting the southwest is transportation, but with huge investment, it is expected to achieve the main railway line in the next three to five years, and after the railway is solved, the port is imminent.

Qinzhou is in a good location, but after all, it is still an enclave, and only when it is really linked to the southwest can it have greater development, so he also tried his best to lead the battle, and the southwest army quickly entered Guangxi in the name of mediating the conflict, and at this time Lu Rongting's main force was confronting Chen Jiongming in Guangdong, and could not quickly withdraw to Guangxi.

Another important reason why the Southwest Army can quickly enter Guangxi is that the rejection of the people in Guangxi is not serious, since the end of the Protectorate War, the Guizhou-Guizhou Railway began to investigate the work, and then began to start construction, which is an important lifeline starting from the southwest, through Guangxi, connecting the Qinzhou estuary, which is of great significance to the southwest, and at the same time is also a huge pull for the economy along the line, huge procurement, huge labor demand, so that the originally poor Guangxi people suddenly saw the hope of improving their lives.

In fact, as early as after the establishment of the Qinzhou shipyard, the shipyard recruited a large number of Guangxi laborers, a shipyard, workers and their families were tens of thousands of people, constituting a huge demand, Guangxi industry and commerce from all walks of life have obtained benefits from here, ordinary people as laborers, a little capital businessmen to establish some silk villages, teahouses, taverns and the like.

In short, the economic ties between Guangxi and the southwest are getting closer and closer, and Qiao Yu's move to allocate the coastal area of the Beibu Gulf to Guangxi has also won the appreciation of the people.

Four divisions with more than 50,000 men and twenty combat planes have formed a huge iron fist that will destroy Lu Rongting's rule at any time.

The Americans have declared war on Germany, and a large number of American [***] troops have begun to land in Europe, but the army is not able to fight on the battlefield, and it has to go through training, so Britain and France cannot count on the Americans for the time being.

However, at this time, the Chinese [***] team has exceeded 100,000 people, and the training is more mature than the United States, becoming a not weak force, this time is China's official combat force, different from the previous volunteer troops, now it is completely elite troops, and the commander Jiang Baili is also a military master, Britain and France have high hopes.

After Jiang Baili arrived in Europe, he hurriedly got in touch with Lu Jianzhang, Zhang Xiaohuai and others, in the Battle of the Somme, the Chinese [***] team performed well, but there were more than 10,000 soldiers killed, so it is now resting and replenishing in the rear, after a few months of recovery, the combat effectiveness of the [***] team has been completely restored, and after the baptism of the war, the Chinese troops are more fierce.

"Commander Lu, you are in a foreign land, now the country is praising you every day, I came here this time with a learning attitude, and I hope that Commander Lu will give me a lot of advice!"

"Chairman Jiang is too polite, it's not all the brothers who fought with their lives, there are no more than 10,000 young men who are jumping around, the European war is so cruel!"

"Brother Baili, Lao Lu is right, Britain and France are preparing to counterattack Germany, but as soon as the war started, they hit the head and broke the blood, the Germans took the lead in retreating into the Hindenburg Line, the French army prepared more than 10 million shells, on a fifty-mile front to attack the German army, but the French could not move an inch at all, and lost more than 100,000 people in a few days, just a few days ago, there was a large-scale mutiny in the French army, and the army refused to go to the front, and it was a mutiny of the whole division, refusing to carry out the task, Now the British have no choice but to take the lead attack, and we will soon go to the front! ”

Zhang Xiaohuai introduced the situation in Europe to Jiang Baili, Jiang Baili was also taken aback when he heard this, there was a large-scale mutiny in the French army, which is definitely not a good sign, which shows that the French who have been rushing to the front line of the German army can no longer bear it, and if there is no external help, defeat is already in sight.

"The German army is worthy of being the world's first army, it is really powerful, judging from the current situation, we are also about to go to the front, I suggest that a large number of experienced soldiers from among the veterans be drawn from the recruits to supplement the recruits, and carry out high-intensity training to deal with the upcoming brutal battle!"

After Jiang Baili finished speaking, Lu Jianzhang and the others nodded frequently, and Zhang Xiaohuai asked again: "Brother Baili, how many tanks and armored vehicles have been sent to China this time, and if you want to break through the German defense line, tanks are the most powerful!" ”

"The domestic production capacity is limited, and the sea is not very easy, I only brought eighty tanks, and one hundred and twenty armored vehicles, but now this batch is a brand new product, the surname can be more stable, the armor is thicker, and the off-road surname can also be improved a lot, as long as it can be used well, I believe that there is no problem in breaking through the positions of the German army!"
