June 17, 19o9 A.D.

Because of the fiasco of the Suwanlu Campaign, as well as the uprising of 15 towns led by Lan Tianwei in Taiyuan, there are only 6 towns left in the new army that Yuan Shikai can still mobilize in North China (IB412, 3 towns and Guards Town) and 1 heavy artillery association that has not yet been trained, and the troops are stretched.

Beiyang had no choice but to let Jiang Guidi's patrol battalion evacuate Datong, retreat to the Zhangjiakou area, join He Zonglian's first town, and rely on the Great Wall and Nanyang River in Zhangjiakou to arrange. Zhang Zhenfang's 3rd town withdrew from Henan, joined Wufengling's 4th town in Handan, and deployed on the spot. Cao Kun led the first town and Wu Peifu's 29th town to immediately move south along the Jinpu line and rushed to the Wuqiao area to defend against the People's Liberation Army in the direction of Shandong. The remaining Guards Town and the 2nd Heavy Artillery Association were personally commanded by the patriarch Wang Shizhen and began to organize the defense of Beijing.

Anyone with a discerning eye can see that this series of transfers of the Beiyang Army is already the last dying struggle, and even the British, who are most optimistic about Yuan Shikai, have begun to retreat, and they are already planning when to kick the big head. Diplomats in other countries are even betting on things such as "when Yuan Shikai will announce his departure from the wilderness", "when will the People's Liberation Army fight under the city of Beijing", and so on.

However, what made the hearts of the great powers beat the most was the strength of the PLA in the recent series of battles. As the saying goes, the layman looks at the liveliness, and the insider looks at the doorway. In this Suwanlu Campaign, even laymen saw the huge gap between the two sides, not to mention the insiders in those observation groups.

The size of the forces of the two warring sides is about the same, the difference in weapons and equipment is not too big, and even the light weapons of the two sides are basically identical. Although the combat effectiveness of the Beiyang Army is definitely worse, they are the defenders, and they make up for part of it. According to the speculation of the officers of those great powers, the Beiyang Army had a great chance of defeat, but it would take at least a month to determine the victory or defeat.

But they never dreamed that the First Army and the Second Army of Beiyang could not support it for even two days, and they were blown up and rushed to the end of the street. Even to be precise, the First Army only resisted for half a day, and the Second Army would not be able to withstand even half a day if it did not retreat in time.

This is simply like a strong man beating a baby, and the gap in combat effectiveness is too big. When the results of the battle came, the front-line observation missions and diplomats of various countries threw their glasses on the ground, and many diplomats and officers in the rear could not believe it, thinking that the front line had made a mistake, and repeatedly confirmed it by telegram.

"The South China Army is so capable of fighting, this is not scientific"

"Baga, the table of the Beiyang Army is the normal table of the Chinese army, and the South Chinese army must be taking medicine."

"That's right, if the Southern Branch hadn't bribed the officers of Beiyang, it would have been impossible to defeat the other party so quickly."

For example, in the Japanese legation, the above scene appeared. A group of officers were blushing and arguing, and they couldn't believe the fact at all. You must know that Beiyang is their main imaginary enemy, in their deduction, a main division can defeat three towns, but even if the strength is equal, it is impossible to defeat the opponent so quickly in time. But the combat effectiveness displayed by the PLA in this campaign is completely a slap in the face.

Because after the battle, they used the sand table deduction to replicate the battle of the two sides, first replacing the PLA with the same number of Japanese troops, and now it will take at least a month to defeat Beiyang, and the losses will reach 10,000. Then, the Beiyang Army was replaced with the same number of Japanese troops, which was even more miserable, and the "great" Imperial Japanese Army actually only withstood it for 6 days, and this was still when the referee blew a black whistle. Later, they doubled the number of Japanese troops, and this time it only lasted for half a month.

The Japanese officers who participated in the exercise turned pale one by one, and then they burst into a rage.

No, this is not scientific, how can the "great Imperial Japanese Army" not even be able to defeat the flesh-and-foot Chinese army, this must be a matter of rules, right, it must be so, there must be a problem with the rules of this deduction, the rules are unscientific, and they must be changed

So they began to revise the rules of deduction in accordance with the glorious tradition of the Japanese. Well, according to the words of later generations, it is to lock your own blood, fill your experience, and then adjust the opponent's level to o or something. Anyway, after they made a mess, the Imperial Japanese Army really won a "complete victory" as they wished, and the South China Army was beaten with farts and urine, and their souls were scattered......

Afterwards, the chief officer in charge of the deduction demanded that the participants keep the first few deductions strictly confidential, and that they were not allowed to leak them out, and only allowed to say the final results of the deduction. Then he also found various reasons for the rapid failure of the Beiyang Army, some of which were only strange, and it is estimated that even Beiyang himself was embarrassed to accept them. Because the Japanese tradition is that since the facts do not correspond to the theory, it is better to start changing the facts, or at least pretending that the facts have changed.

There is no need to question this, because in later generations in Japan, they performed this ancestral stunt many times. For example, after the Fukushima incident, the Japanese government calmly raised the radiation safety standard by 1o6 times, and then announced that the radiation level here was completely in line with the standard or something.

But the other powers did not think so much about the Japanese, or these old rivers and lakes understood that this kind of self-deception means no purpose except to satisfy temporary vanity.

As a result, they were all suppressed by the combat effectiveness of the PLA. Although they had learned through various channels before, the PLA was a modern army with considerable combat effectiveness. But it's really hard to say how high it is. After all, their previous opponents were not bad, and even if the PLA won effortlessly, it was not easy to judge the level.

However, this time it was different, the combat effectiveness of the Beiyang Army was recognized by the great powers, and most military experts in the West evaluated the Beiyang Army as acceptable, believing that it was a modern army in the Far East second only to Japan. But this time, it was blown away by the PLA's overwhelming car. Moreover, this time they also sent an observation group with the army, and they could see the table of both sides very clearly.

That's why they feel like their hearts are beating. They came to the conclusion that the combat effectiveness of the PLA is not inferior to the main forces of the first-tier powers such as Britain, France, Germany, and Russia in Europe, or close to the main forces of the first-tier powers in Europe, such as Britain, France, Germany, and Russia, and far from the armies of the second- and third-rate powers such as Italy and Austria-Hungary.

This is only the 6th Army, as for the Air Force, it goes without saying, even the proudest British have to admit that the South China Air Force is the first in the world, at least for the time being, in terms of combat effectiveness and scale.

After the battle, the mission sent the report back to China as soon as possible. After receiving first-hand information, the governments of various countries immediately readjusted their policies in the Far East.

This is also one of the reasons why Wen Desi agreed to let the observation teams of various countries accompany the army, in the current world, the relationship between countries is the law of the jungle of Chiguoguo, and when it is time to show off the muscles, it must be light. In the international relations of this era, the so-called "pretending to be a pig and eating a tiger" is actually a very stupid and naïve means, that will only be slaughtered as a fat pig, even if your strength is really the level of a tiger, but to deal with those troubles that could have been avoided, it is really very uneconomical.

If the CSD had not invited the foreign powers to visit the military exercises last year, the revision would not have been so smooth. Remember, the great powers of this era only recognize fists. Only between tigers and wolves can there be so-called equal diplomacy, tigers and wolves will not say anything equal to pigs and sheep, inappropriately show their claws, and the devil knows whether you are a tiger wolf or a pig or a sheep

Neijiang, the headquarters of the Science and Technology Socialist Party.

After receiving instructions from China, the British "special consul general" in Neijiang, Browne, immediately asked to see Wendehei. As soon as the two sides met, he said straight to the point: "Your Excellency, my Government hopes that the war between the north and the south of your country will immediately cease and the disputes between the two sides should be resolved at the negotiating table. The acts of war between the two sides of your country have disrupted the social order and posed a serious threat to the civilian population......"

Because the PLA moved too fast this time, the Beiyang Army was also defeated too quickly, and the powers of all countries did not have time to react. There were no domestic instructions, and the diplomats were not easy to call the shots, so they were quiet the other day. Today, the British finally reacted and immediately demanded that British diplomats in China immediately begin mediation and that the two sides of the conflict immediately cease fire.

When the British diplomats in China saw this instruction, they all cursed one after another. These domestic lords didn't understand the situation at all, with the current strength of the Socialist government, it was strange that they would be so obedient, but the orders of the boss must be carried out, and after Ronde greeted the female relatives of the domestic lords, he had to try it hard.

Wen Deji smiled very sincerely and said, "Mr. Ronde, what you said is very correct. We don't like war, because it not only destroys social order and destroys the economy, but also brings about a large number of humanitarian crises. I am a pacifist, and I have always been against war, but in some cases, in order to maintain justice and fairness in the human world, we have to resort to the means of war. ”

Saying that, he made a gesture, and Gu Xiaolu immediately held a thick stack of Wen Jiàn and put it in front of Bai Langde.

Wen Deji pointed to those Wen Jiàn and said: "Mr. Bai Langde, this is about the criminal records of Beiyang officials in various places, and the people in various places begging us to rescue them, you can take a look." Our action this time is precisely to maintain fairness and justice in the world, and we have to fight ......."

Whiteland flipped through the texts, and now they were all Chinese-English versions, and he couldn't sit still after only a few pages.

It is full of records of crimes committed by local officials appointed by Beiyang, and each crime is detailed and clear, with time, place, human and material evidence, and it does not look like a forgery at first glance, and the forgery is easy to debunk and has no meaning.

Wende clapped his hands, and Ronde had another stack of information. "And this is the interrogation record of some of the criminals who have been caught, and they all confessed to their crimes......"

Browne secretly complained in his heart. Nima, Yuan Datou, you won't send some reliable people to be officials, see what kind of moths you are doing, how can Lao Tzu help you speak?

He knew very well that, if nothing else, as soon as Wen Desi made the information in his hand public, most of the public opinion in the world would turn to the side of the Socialist Party.

If you change the object, it may not be so troublesome, even if there is news that is unfavorable to you, you can block it directly. But Wen Deji is different, not to mention that this guy has quite a lot of partners in Europe and the United States, many of whom are influential figures, even Xingke's own propaganda power should not be underestimated. What's more, even if it is blocked on the British side, it will definitely explode on the side of the damned allies, let alone on the American side.

Although the old powers don't have any discipline, they still want Wei Guangzheng's cheekiness, and even though they don't believe in justice, truth, human rights, and the like themselves, they must definitely pretend that they believe it, at least they can't openly oppose it. "The crime of hanging the people" is not a patent in China, foreigners have the same, but the specific words are different.

Of course, if Britain is really shameless, it is not impossible to continue to support Beiyang, for example, during World War I, they over-supported Serbia (this "monarchicide" British own evaluation). But Yuan Shikai doesn't seem to have this weight, and the interests of the Far East don't have this weight, which is enough to ⊥ Niuniu's shameless selfless help.
