Chapter 263: The Dwarf Locust Nation Gets Qiyuan
Although he was reluctant, Yuan Yueting had to make this decision. When the news got out, he might be called a traitor.
But being a traitor is better than watching the Northern regime perish.
After several major battles, the Northern Government lost more than 400,000 troops to the Nanshan Army. These troops were completely annihilated, which was a fatal blow to the Northern Government.
Although the northern government still has six armies with 180,000 people, it not only has to garrison eight provinces, but also has to guard against Zhang Futing in the north, Ma Yunshan in Xining in Mobei, and Feng Zhangshan who is gradually becoming disobedient.
After Feng Zhangshan's defeat in Nanchuan, he was still polite to the Northern Government, but since the Northern Government's second defeat, his attitude changed.
Now Feng Zhangshan, Ma Yunshan and Zhang Futing seem to be forming an alliance. Their goal is self-evident, which is naturally the territory under the jurisdiction of the northern government.
The more than 200,000 new troops recruited by the Northern Government had never undergone rigorous training and were still a motley crowd that was of no use and could not be relied upon at all.
Yuan Yueting has placed all his hopes on the Small Dwarf Locust Kingdom, hoping to rely on the help of the Small Dwarf Locust Kingdom to reverse his current decline.
"Well, Yuanjun, you made a wise decision." Seeing Yuan Yueting agreed to their request, Ito Mifumi was very happy.
Occupying Qiyuan Province is just a springboard for the Dwarf Locust Kingdom; their goal is the entire new country.
But the new country is too big, and the small dwarf locust country cannot swallow the whole new country, so it can only nibble away at it bit by bit. And in the process of nibbling away, it builds up its territory and provides blood transfusion for the small dwarf locust country.
After the cooperation was reached, everyone on the side of the Little Locust Country was very happy. On the side of the New Country, except for a few patriotic people, most people were also very happy.
The reason why Yuan Yueting was unhappy was not because he was so patriotic, but because losing a province was a real loss of interests, and he was also afraid that he would be criticized and abused by the people after the matter was exposed.
While the Little Locust Kingdom and the Northern Government were celebrating, in Nanchuan, Tao Yunong had already sent intelligence agents to various places to gather the latest news.
When the Dwarf Locust Country signed an agreement with the Northern Government, countries around the world were in an uproar.
Xionghui, Ge Lan and the Lighthouse Country all condemned the Dwarf Locust Country, hoping that it would return Qiyuan Province to the new country.
The relationship with Prussia became somewhat ambiguous. On the one hand, it sent people to contact the Dwarf Locust Kingdom, and on the other hand, it slowed down the negotiations with Chen Zui.
This made Chen Zui very unhappy, and he cursed the Prussian envoy in private.
After receiving the news from Chen Zui, Fang Jian just smiled slightly. He had already expected this and was not surprised at all.
Looking at Tao Yunong, Fang Jian sighed and said, "Prussia is good at defending the city, but not good at making progress in the overall situation."
"Fortunately, we have never signed an alliance with them, otherwise we might even be dragged down by them."
Fang Jian couldn't help but think of the world war on Blue Star. The countries in this world were probably equivalent to what they were like after World War I on Blue Star, but there was no world war on Diyuan Star.
Although there were small-scale conflicts between the Xionghui Alliance and the Prussian Alliance, they were relatively restrained and did not launch major battles.
Even if both sides want to exercise restraint, a world war will still come, but no one knows when and under what circumstances it will break out.
This is also the reason why Francis Xavier wanted to hide the planes and tanks.
The first is that the world has not yet deployed airplanes and tanks on a large scale. Once these two weapons are learned by the great powers, in the event of a world war, not only will China be left without a trump card, but it will also face a torrent of steel from the enemy.
You know, the industrial capacity of the world's powerful countries cannot be compared with Nanshan, which has only been developed for a few years.
Second, Francis Xavier has not yet seen clearly the direction of the world situation and cannot act rashly. Once these powerful weapons are unveiled, they will become the target of public criticism, and he will then have to face the issue of taking sides.
If he doesn't choose a powerful country to cooperate with, he can't fight the whole world on his own. He doesn't have such a crazy idea yet.
Although tanks were used, the news had not yet been fully leaked, and tanks were not as shocking as airplanes, so Francis could barely cope with it.
At worst, Nanshan can sell the first-generation tank blueprints to the great powers, and it will still have a certain advantage.
Putting aside the thoughts in his mind, Fang Jian looked at Tao Yunong and said, "If there is still room for negotiation in Prussia, then continue the negotiation. If the other party is still perfunctory, then let Chen Zui come back."
Francis knew that Prussia had always wanted to win over the Little Locust Kingdom to join the Prussian Alliance.
If the Little Locust Country is willing to join the Prussian-Russian Alliance, and the Little Locust Country wants to obtain the interests of the new country, Prussia will definitely abandon the new country and will no longer pay attention to Nanshan Province.
Of course, if the Dwarf Locust Kingdom did not join the Prussian Alliance, the situation would be different.
"Yes, Commander." Tao Yunong responded and then went down to arrange for more intelligence agents to obtain intelligence from various places.
Time quietly enters December and it is December 12th.
Chen Zui has returned to Nanshan. Although the Dwarf Locust Kingdom did not agree to join Prussia, it reached a strategic cooperation with Prussia, which made Prussia decisively give up Nanshan.
Not only does the Dwarf Locust Kingdom have an ambiguous relationship with the Prussian Kingdom, but in order to protect themselves, they also contact the Xionghui Kingdom and reach a series of cooperation.
Under this circumstance, the Dwarf Locust Kingdom prepared a new national conference to allow the north and south to unite and form a new national regime.
Upon learning that the new national congress was being convened, everyone in Nanshan and Nanchuan gnashed their teeth in anger.
On the one hand, Nanshan was not invited to the New National Congress. All warlords from all over the country were invited, except Fang Jian. The implication of this being targeted was too obvious.
Fang Jian naturally knew that this was the consequence of annihilating a division of the Dwarf Locust Kingdom, but he did not regret annihilating the small division.
On the other hand, how could people tolerate the fact that the new national conference had to be hosted by the small locust country on the land of the new country?
In the meeting room, Li Weiling was the first to complain: "Commander, these dwarfs are going too far. It's ok for them to show off their power in our new country, but they are bullying us. This is intolerable."
"Yes, we can't just let this matter go." The five division commanders of the Nanchuan Army expressed their opinions.
These four division commanders were transferred from the Nanshan Army and had made certain contributions. Of course, their positions as division commanders of the Nanchuan Army were also temporary, and the division commanders of the Nanchuan Army would have to be promoted from the Nanchuan Army in the future.
The military officers were all very excited, but the civilian officers were relatively restrained. Even Zhuang Jiwu and Zhou Zhuowu did express their opinions in a rather reserved manner.
Zhou Zhuowu said: "The dwarf locust country has taken control of Singapore's internal affairs, not only trampling on our sovereignty, but also showing great disrespect for Singapore."
"Not only that, the Dwarf Locust Nation has forcibly occupied the land of the New Nation. Its behavior is abominable and it should be required to return the occupied land."
Zhuang Jiwu also said: "Yes, national sovereignty is inviolable. What the Dwarf Locust Country did is considered an invasion of the New Country. We should condemn its actions to all countries and ask for their support."
Francis had no hope in other countries and had to rely on himself to assert his sovereignty.
But now Nanshan and Nanchuan are still in the development stage, and they do not have the spare energy to expel the small locust country. Moreover, it is out of reach, and the north and south parties are colluding with it, which makes him unable to act rashly.
