The Republic of Heroes

After sending Yang Xiaoou away, Wu Xiaoliang waited patiently. There will be a cargo fleet from Suidong in the next few days. After the sea battle, Japan temporarily lost its command of the sea in the East China Sea of ​​the Yellow Sea. So taking this opportunity, Suidong will ship A large number of materials and machines urgently needed to build factories came.

The construction of the factory originally required at least ten years of layout time, but the development of the situation did not leave much time for Wu Xiaoliang at all. Shandong, which had just been conquered, was about to become the main battlefield of World War I in no time. The chimney has just been built and is about to be blown up. I am afraid that this place will soon become the world of the Japanese.

According to reliable information, since Japan's large fleet was almost wiped out, it immediately allocated ships to reorganize a task force, and deployed more than 5 standing divisions from the mainland. At the same time, a large number of reserves were also transferred to active duty. Military supplies and weapons and equipment are piled up in the major ports along the Seto Inland Sea. Japan is already certain to win this battle, and the domestic slogan of the destruction of China in three months is rampant.

The mainstream public opinion thinks that this disastrous defeat is nothing more than the bad luck of the Chinese people. As long as the imperial navy and army gather for a battle, they will be ashamed. Although the public opinion is so, the Japanese government is obviously not so optimistic. All signs show that They are making all kinds of careful arrangements and preparations. The battle to cross the Yellow River may start at any time. Sooner or later, Shandong will be smashed into a pot of porridge, and Henan, which is located in the original hinterland, may not be spared.

So Wu Xiaoliang turned his attention to Shaanxi and Gansu, but these two provinces are not peaceful, especially the various forces in Shaanxi are intricate, including Yang Hucheng, a rookie of the Northwest Army who has only emerged in recent years, Zhang Xueliang, a remnant of the Northeast Army, and just now. After the fat escape, Jiang Zheng repeatedly put pressure on the warlords in Shaanxi Province in the name of the Central Military Commission of the Kuomintang, ordering them to suppress the Communist Party as soon as possible.

In fact, even if Jiang Zheng does not urge, Yang Hucheng cannot allow unstable factors to cause trouble in his jurisdiction. Moreover, after gaining a firm foothold, Fatty has repeatedly infiltrated and subverted the core area of ​​Shaanxi. The human team has turned against the enemy in an organized way.

This made Yang Hucheng very angry, and immediately dispatched troops to encircle and suppress several places in northern Shaanxi. Unexpectedly, he was defeated in several battles, and some troops even declared the flag-changing uprising immediately after entering the battlefield. In the end, he had no choice but to shrink his troops and opened up his posture to negotiate with him. Fighting and talking like this had no results until Zhang Xueliang led the Northeast Army to approach Tongguan. Yang Hucheng's sense of crisis became stronger, but he could sit firmly in Shaanxi. The position of the provincial chairman has Wu Xiaoliang's strong support, and various forces are intertwined in Shaanxi, so he can only accept it silently.

But Zhang Xueliang's arrival also has another advantage, that is, it has increased the army's military strength in Shaanxi, and the harassing offensive of fat has also been restrained a lot, and the two sides have become so stalemate.

Until the sea battle ended with the victory of the Shandong army, Wu Xiaoliang suddenly announced that all business and academic circles in Shandong and Henan provinces would be relocated to Gansu and Shanxi, and he also declared that the Japanese war would be a protracted war, and it would not be possible to see each other in a year or two. Therefore, the Shandong Army strongly appealed to the three provinces along the Yellow River, Shaanxi, Shandong and Henan, to actively prepare for the war, and all the property of the people in various places should be moved to Gansu and Shaanxi as soon as possible.

The sound of the siren drifted into the port with the sea breeze, and Wu Xiaoliang wrapped his thick Ni military uniform tightly around his body. In the distant sea fog, one by one cargo ships were already lined up in the open sea, ready to enter the port to unload at any time.

For the sake of confidentiality, these things were sent in the name of food. The agents of the Shandong Army are all over the Japanese theater, and the Japanese spies are also all over Shandong, Henan and Shaanxi. Even the military government is likely to be infiltrated. These things are the guarantee for the construction of military factories in the future, so we must not increase the risk at all. It is Sun Jiayu who personally operates the transfer of this batch of materials, and the escort is personally in charge of the Suidong Army.

The successful entry of this batch of supplies made Wu Xiaoliang half relieved. Surprisingly, the fleet was neither attacked by Japanese warships nor intercepted by the air force along the way. Everything went smoothly and unbelievably.

Suddenly He Siyuan, the vice chairman of the provincial government, ran over against the sea breeze at a trot, shouting anxiously while running, but the sea breeze was too strong, and he couldn't hear anything clearly after a distance of more than ten meters. The secretary noticed He Siyuan and said softly Remind Wu Xiaoliang.

"Vice Chairman He is here, it seems that there is something urgent..."

Only then did Wu Xiaoliang turn his eyes back from the sea, and he could see the anxiety and worry on He Siyuan's face from a distance, and hurried up to meet him.

"Brother Xiancha, why is he in such a hurry?"

He Siyuan took three steps and made two steps at a time, panting heavily, waving his hands in mid-air.

"The students are making trouble, and even the provincial government has been surrounded. Wei, go and have a look..."

Wu Xiaoliang was startled. Since he came to power in Shandong, Shandong Province, especially the provincial capital Jinan, has never seen students gather to demonstrate, especially the attack on the provincial government.

Then he changed his mind again, there must be a reason for the incident, some unexpected incident stimulated these stunned youths.

"Don't worry, tell me slowly, what exactly caused these students to make a fuss again."

He Siyuan slapped his thigh, and said bitterly: "It is said that the provincial government sent out moldy food, and dozens of people have been poisoned to death."

"Moldy food."

This matter has long been released to the provincial government led by He Siyuan. Although he still holds the title of the provincial chairman, he has not been involved in civil affairs for a long time. Now that something goes wrong, should he send the army to suppress it? His face turns cold down.

Seeing that Wu Xiaoliang had misunderstood, He Siyuan hurriedly said, "This batch of grain is not from Shandong, but from Nanjing. It was collected by all walks of life, but no one thought it would be some mildewed grain..."

Wu Xiaoliang is no stranger to this. It is not once or twice that the Nanjing side has secretly made small moves against him, but he is still aware of the overall situation. After the outbreak of the Japanese War, he did not openly attack the cities controlled by the Shandong Army. Siyuan said: "Brother Xiancha, you have to persuade the students to go back no matter what. Now is not the time to get angry. The evacuation of the business and academic circles must be carried out quickly." You can give more money, if the students still insist on making trouble..."

Wu Xiaoliang's voice suddenly became deep and deep: "When necessary, you go to Li Zejun. Before dark, the urban area of ​​Jinan must restore order..."
