Warlords: Rising from the Northwest Border and Sweeping Across the Powers

Chapter 106 Guo's Surrender Super System Reward



Chapter 106 Guo's Surrender Super System Reward

The day after Su Zhengyang met with Guo Qicheng, Guo Qicheng sent a telegram to the whole country in the name of the Guo faction, urging him to resign. At the same time, all remaining troops and government agency personnel of the Guo faction unconditionally surrendered to the Northwest Revolutionary Army.

This telegram caused an uproar throughout China. Originally, everyone believed that even though the Guo faction was already on the verge of extinction, it was still capable of causing huge obstacles and damage to the Northwest Revolutionary Army. However, Guo Qicheng's sudden announcement of his resignation and surrender was beyond the expectations of most people.

Su Zhengyang officially led the troops of the Northwest Revolutionary Army to settle in Yong'an City, the political, cultural, economic and educational center of Linzhou with a thousand-year history.

On the day after sending the telegram, Guo Qicheng committed suicide by shooting himself in his residence. In fact, he was already dying, and he committed suicide to give an explanation to the people of Linzhou and to give himself a final dignity.

The situation changed so quickly that no one could have anticipated it.

What was surprising was that on the day when Su Zhengyang led his troops into the city, the people of Yong'an City spontaneously took to the streets and held up banners to welcome and support Su Zhengyang as the new governor of Linzhou.

In the office of Guo Qicheng in the former Linzhou Governor's Office, Su Zhengyang, wearing a neat military uniform, sat in Guo Qicheng's original office chair, looking at the calligraphy of "A man should be self-reliant" hanging on the wall, feeling a little sad in his heart. This was his second time entering this office recently.

The difference from the last time was that this time Su Zhengyang successfully entered Linzhou with the attitude of a winner, opening a new chapter for the entire Northwest Revolutionary Army and even China.

[Ding! Congratulations to the host for successfully completing the main mission and occupying Linzhou. ]

[The following rewards are now issued to the host: 1. A full set of equipment for a large steel mill: including 20 50-ton open-hearth furnaces, 20 blast furnaces, 10 150-ton 2-mix iron furnaces, 15 30-ton converters, continuous casting machines, and a full set of steel rolling equipment. 2. A full set of equipment for a large machinery factory: including: forging machines, sawing machines, lathes, milling machines, shearing machines, punching machines, bending machines, welding machines, etc. 3. A full set of production lines for a large arsenal, including bullet production lines, rifle production lines, and machine gun production lines. 4. Ten special equipment for coal-to-oil, which can be used to build a coal-to-oil factory. 5. 20 tons of clean coal. 6. 50 high-end talents in supporting technology for steel plants. 60 senior workers and professional and technical personnel in machinery factories. 50 senior workers and professional and technical personnel in arsenals. 7. Drawings for the production of the Type 98 committee rifle and the Type 8k rifle. 300. 500 commanding officers of professional forces at all levels and professional government officials. ]

[The personnel rewarded by the system are 100% loyal to the host. ]

Su Zhengyang looked excited. He stood up with a flushed face, clenched his fists tightly and waved them in the air.

Although the rewards for the system's main mission this time do not include a large amount of arms and equipment, these things are far more important than arms and equipment. It can even be said that they are the foundation of the future Northwest Revolutionary Army and even the entire China.

With these steel mill equipment awarded by the system, the scale of the current Hanbei Steel Mill can be increased tenfold, making it the number one steel mill in China with an annual output of 700,000 tons of pig iron and 300,000 tons of steel. In today's era, such a large output is already quite shocking, especially in China with backward industry.

Not to mention the large-scale machinery factories, with a full set of equipment, production lines and professional and technical personnel, Linzhou's heavy industry development will usher in a period of rapid progress.

What surprised Su Zhengyang the most was the large arsenal. Although the system currently only awarded blueprints of two types of rifles, it is foreseeable that with the continuous expansion and development of the Northwest Revolutionary Army, it will obtain more and more blueprints of various types of firearms and become the country's leading large-scale modern military manufacturing enterprise that surpasses the Dongyang Arsenal.

There is also coal-to-oil equipment and the mined clean coal donated by the system, which will allow the Northwest Revolutionary Army to not have to worry about gasoline shortages in a short period of time.

Three hundred 100% capable army commanders, dispersed and dispatched to various units, will become the backbone of the force. They can make the entire Northwest Revolutionary Army obey Su Zhengyang's orders without ever worrying about the risk of betrayal, and can attack wherever he is ordered.

As for the 30.65 talents in people's livelihood and government affairs, they are urgently needed by the Northwest Revolutionary Army. Linzhou has a total of eleven cities, square kilometers of land, and more than tens of millions of people. It is absolutely impossible without truly suitable management talents to help the Northwest Revolutionary Army develop people's livelihood, trade, and optimize the government affairs system.

Although the 500 people are just a force, they are products of the system and must be high-quality. As long as they are allowed to occupy positions in important departments of the government system, they will definitely bring about prosperous development to Linzhou.

It can be said that after taking over Linzhou, the entire Northwest Revolutionary Army was truly on the right track, and had the capital to occupy Linzhou and look to the entire China.

In the meeting room of the Governor's Mansion, the top leaders of the Northwest Revolutionary Army gathered together and looked at Su Zhengyang with solemn expressions.

Su Zhengyang said in a sonorous and powerful voice: "The Peace Company will provide us with a full set of advanced equipment production lines and professional and technical personnel for large machinery factories, steel mills, and arsenals. The short-term goal of our Northwest Revolutionary Army is to build Hanbei City in the north into an industrial city and the foundation of Linzhou!"

"Next, our Northwest Revolutionary Army will expand its military and expand the existing three divisions into three army-level combat units. Each army will have three combat divisions, an artillery brigade, a guard brigade, a motorized infantry brigade, an armored brigade, and a logistics brigade. Each army will have 90,000 personnel, and the three armies will have a total of 270,000 troops. We will recruit soldiers on a large scale throughout Linzhou. At the same time, we will promote our local militia policy to the entire Linzhou, so that our front-line combat troops can replenish their manpower at any time."

The officers present were all shocked by Su Zhengyang's words. Among the warlords in China, the one with the largest number of troops is the Jiang warlords in the northeast. They have nine army-level combat units, and each army has about 30,000 people. Together with the logistics support personnel, there are a total of 350,000 troops, which is already the leading warlord force in the whole of China. Marshal Jiang himself is also a member of the Congress of the Northern Frontier Government, and is of the same lineage as President Yang and his people.

If the army is expanded according to Su Zhengyang's plan, the number of people in each army will reach 90,000, which is exactly the same as the number of personnel in the three armies of other warlords.

But it makes sense if you think about it. The three divisions of the Northwest Revolutionary Army before, each division plus logistics personnel, had a total of 18,000 people. Now an army contains three combat divisions of the same size as before, in addition to guard brigades, motorized infantry brigades, armored brigades, logistics brigades, artillery brigades and other combat units. There is nothing wrong with the number reaching 90,000.

If this happened in Ouzhou, where there are many powerful countries, it would definitely be a large-scale army group.

"If we follow the commander's expansion plan, the gaps in military pay, food, expenditures, and a large amount of equipment will be difficult for us to solve at present."

Su Zhengyang waved his hand and said, "You can take your time with the task of expanding the army. My goal is to complete the comprehensive expansion of the army within half a year. During this period, the Peace Company will continuously provide military equipment to fill our gaps. The food gap will be solved even better. Our Northwest Revolutionary Army has occupied Linzhou, and the next step is a major reshuffle! The tyrants and landlords who are usually rich and unkind will all be confiscated and executed once they are investigated. Their land will be distributed to the local poor people, and we will only charge 30% of the rent. With such a large land in Linzhou, it is absolutely no problem to support an army of 200,000 to 300,000 people."
