The external bandit war in Xiangu Mountain gave the surrounding people the feeling that it was a cannon to fight mosquitoes. In order to eliminate these bandits who have occupied Xiangu Mountain for many years, the Xu family army, who had just taken control of Orange City, actually dispatched countless cannons to attack this Baijiazhai in Xiangu Mountain, which was in dangerous terrain.

This resolute heart to eliminate the bandits still made the people who used to stay by Baijiazhai's side and were still frightened, and after learning that the bandits on Xiangu Mountain had been completely eliminated, they also breathed a long sigh of relief. Don't worry about it anymore, with a little income in the next year, let these bandits rob again.

Only those who know the relationship between the Bai family and the Xu family know that this is just a show to buy people's hearts, but the price of this show still makes them a little painful. On that day, because of the Xu Jiajun, no people were allowed to approach unrelated people, so that they could only see the rumbling cannon sound from the direction of Xiangu Mountain from a distance, as well as the smoke and dust rising after the shelling.

The officers and soldiers of Linzhou Mansion who knew about artillery, their first feeling was that the Xu Jiajun was no longer something they could deal with. With this kind of cannon, if the other party is really unfavorable to Linzhou Mansion, I'm afraid they won't be able to hold out for even a day. Suddenly, many corrupt officials and rich people in Linzhou Mansion began to prepare to find an opportunity to slip away and flee to other places far away from Xu's army with their family money.

But now that Gannan is also in the beginning of war, who dares to guarantee that they will flee to a city outside the Linzhou capital and not attract these equally vicious warlords?

Similarly, after the Xu family's army occupied Juxiang City by relatively legal means, the Gannan secret service strengthened its infiltration against the Xu family's army. It's a pity that for young people of unknown origin who are not from orange fragrance, for the time being, Xu Jiajun will not recruit them to join the army at all. Even some of the spies who infiltrated as spies are currently working in the factories in Xu Bin's base area.

There is no access to the real core military intelligence of the Xu Jiajun. Not to mention, after taking Juxiang City, Xu Bin stepped up the infiltration and counter-infiltration work of the intelligence department. Using the intelligence network operated by the cottage in previous years, plus the village-level joint defense villages that are now spread throughout Orange City. If strangers enter some sensitive areas, they will not be able to escape this surveillance network organized by ordinary people.

What's more, what makes the spies of the secret service vomit blood even more is that as long as those strangers reported by the people are here to sabotage Orange City. Then every time a person is caught, Xu Jiajun's people will give a certain reward to the whistleblower. For this kind of thing, as long as the situation is reported, it is possible to exchange for a bounty, how can the people of Juxiang, who already have a good impression of Xu Jiajun, not do it?

Since Xu Jiajun was born in Linzhou Mansion, the secret service got an order from above and sent several groups of spies to infiltrate it. Most of them will not exceed three days, and they will be broken by Xu Jiajun's people and thrown on the official road leading to Linzhou Mansion. If the attitude is not haode spies, after the identity is verified, the end will be even more alive and dead.

Gradually, the secret service, which is now short of manpower, can only dispel the idea of entering Orange City to inquire about intelligence. More often than not, they took the form of bribery, and found out information about the Xu family army from those locals or businessmen in Orange City. But the value of the intelligence that these people know is undoubtedly not too high.

This time, because outsiders were not allowed to approach at all, the spies bribed the people who had seen the retreat of the Xu family's artillery. The news I got was that Xu Jiajun dispatched dozens of cannons this time. As for the model caliber of the cannon, the population does not know anything about it.

Because, when the artillery units of the Xu Jiajun Army escorted these cannons, most of them covered them with black cloth, and there were infantry to guard and defend during the movement. Even when civilians along the way passed by, they had to stop and not wait for a distance of 100 meters to get close to the artillery unit.

This makes the spies of the secret service, in addition to knowing the scale of Xu Jiajun's artillery, it is very likely to reach a regimental level. The rest of the more news is that it is known that this time the Xu family army encircled and suppressed, and dispatched two main infantry regiments and an artillery regiment. With the addition of the corresponding logistics personnel participating in the battle, the size of the soldiers is close to that of a division. This is still relatively close to the strength of the Xu family's army that they knew before.

When the intelligence was sent to the Gannan Governor's Mansion by the Secret Service, Ning Qingyuan, the Governor of Gannan, who had recently been troubled by the situation on the front line, looked a little angry and said: "What does the Linzhou Security Regiment do to eat?" How could he sit back and watch this Xu family army expand its military strength to such a high level.

And where did the artillery of the Xu family army come from? What do the people at the River Station do? I don't know if this artillery is something that is expressly forbidden to be sold to the outside world? Also, what is your secret service doing, why haven't you investigated Xu Jiajun's true strength until now.

Aren't there any of you people who can't find out? How come it is that now, when I meet Xu Jiajun, who started as a bandit, I am a chicken? ”

The head of the secret service who didn't dare to raise his head when he was scolded waited until Ning Qingyuan finished his anger before he said bitterly: "Your Excellency, in order to find out about the situation of the Xu family, our secret service has already folded into no less than three squads. The bandits relied on the people under their rule to keep an eye on any stranger who was not on orange ground.

Once our intelligence officers are inside, it is verified that the fabricated identity is fake. They will all be interrupted by those bandits and thrown on the official road, so that our peripheral intelligence officers can take them over. Even some of the intelligence officers who went in didn't see anyone alive or dead at all. The true strength of this Xu Jiajun is indeed difficult to find out.

However, according to the information I arranged for the intelligence lady in Linzhou Mansion, it seems that there are Eagle people behind this bandit army. According to the intelligence officers they sent inside, some information was returned. There is an Eagle Country who has opened many factories in Baofeng Town, Juxiang City.

Now the spies who are still fortunate to exist in Orange City all say that the boss behind their factory may actually be the leader of the Xu family's army. And this Eagle Country man is just a coward he invited us not to dare to attack his factory at will. It's just that according to what I asked those foreign merchants, this Eagle Country has a very deep background, and it seems that he is from a noble family in the Eagle Country. I just don't know how he got hooked with Xu Jiajun.

And according to those foreign businessmen, the equipment that was sent to Orange City was all Longhua goods purchased by this Eagle Country on behalf of the people. Most of them are second-hand goods bought from other foreign merchants. Because most of them planted the eagle flag during transportation, our river station did not dare to go up to inspect it. I think that the large number of artillery that Xu Jiajun has now may have been sold to those bandits by the people of the Eagle Country. ”

Hearing that there was the shadow of the Eagle Country behind this Xu Jiajun, Ning Qingyuan, who had recently been a little troubled by the refusal of the Mi people to provide military aid, said: "Then do you know that this bandit has the money to purchase arms?" And that money to feed so many troops. Could it be that these are all provided by the people of the Eagle Country?

It shouldn't be possible, foreigners are a bunch of unprofitable guys who can't afford to be early. If you can't come up with the money, you won't give you half a gun even if you call him. What's more, it's artillery, or a regimental artillery. Do you know how much money is needed to form an artillery regiment? At least tens of millions of Long Yang, such a huge amount of money, how can Xu Jiajun, who started as a bandit, get it? ”

In this regard, the director of the special service replied with some caution: "According to the information reported by the intelligence team, it seems that the money of this Xu Jiajun was obtained by robbing those rich people. Could it be that all this money was collected from the landlords' families? ”

Ning Qingyuan replied with a wry smile on his face: "Do you think that in a small place like orange incense, the rich man will have more money to support 10 million deaths." And you have to search for all the local corrupt officials and rich people, but do you think that's possible? If you don't rob the landlord of a small city, you can get tens of millions of Longyang's income.

Why should I bother to ask those Mi people for loans for the current arms consumption on the front line? These guys have benefited me a lot, and now I don't see that I am in a good situation. and unwilling to borrow, they are really a bunch of white-eyed wolves who can't be raised.

Forget it, if you don't mention these foreigners, I will have a headache if you mention them. Or do you think this Xu Jiajun pulled all the troops out this time and made such a show with us. What is the purpose? ”

Seeing that the governor asked what he meant, the director of the special service also felt a little flattered, and carefully deduced what Xu Jiajun had done. The chief of the secret service suddenly said, "Your Excellency the Governor, do you think he is doing this to give us benefits?" I think that with the strength of this Xu family's army, we should know about the war on our front. If we no longer get ammunition supply support from the rear, our army may have to retreat and try to ensure that the cities on the front line of the Nanjiang River are not lost.

Then the revolutionary army will certainly not easily give up occupying our territory, if they come over. The Linzhou Mansion is also on their offensive line, and I think Xu Jiajun must also be worried that he will not be able to resist the possible attack of the revolutionary army alone. And according to those who know Xu Jiajun, the leader of the Xu Jiajun who was born as a bandit seems to be a person with a strong desire to control. He is reluctant to spit out what he has in his hands easily, and he is also indifferent to people who are not Gannan.

Actually, my lord, I don't think it's possible to send a large army against them in our current form. Doesn't this guy like to be an official and occupy territory? If we can't do that, we will send someone there to talk to him and see if he is on our side or on the side of the revolutionary army.

If you can give the other side a little benefit, you will get an artillery regiment and a combatable division. I think this business is very cost-effective, wouldn't it be better for them to eat dogs and dogs with the revolutionary army, and we can hide behind and reap the profits of the fishermen? ”

Perhaps others do not know how dangerous the situation on the Ganzhou front is, but this confidant who can be described as the governor knows very well that the ammunition stockpiled on the front line is very depleted. Now the guns and ammunition that Gannan can squeeze out are all transported to the front line at a rapid pace.

If the governor can't get a loan from the United States, he will be able to supply the much-needed weapons and ammunition. Then it became inevitable that the retreat of the Ganzhou front-line army to give up some territory. Therefore, he dared to be so bold in front of Ning Qingyuan and admit the possibility of the defeat of the army on the front line.

Sure enough, after listening to the analysis of this confidant special service chief, Ning Qingyuan also began to think about the gains and losses. Whether the site is important or the overall situation is important. The most difficult thing to predict is what kind of mentality this Xu Jiajun has towards the Gannan Army he is in charge of!
