Warlords: Conquer the world from the county magistrate

Chapter 290 Heyuan Changes Flag

"Commander, will killing prisoners have any impact on you?" Tao Yunong's face changed and he hesitated.

"According to the World Genoa Convention, we cannot abuse or kill prisoners. We are now at a critical stage. If we leave a bad reputation, it may affect our future development."

"Affect development? How can it affect it?" Fang Jian said disdainfully.

"They want to invade our country. They will invade regardless of whether we kill prisoners or not. They will not invade our country. Even if we go too far, as long as we don't invade them, they won't invade us either."

Even so, Francis still whispered, "Find a quiet place, secretly drag these people out and kill them."

"We told the public that these people had an accident while doing hard labor."

"Yes, Commander." Tao Yunong replied and immediately went down to handle the matter.

At the same time, he secretly cursed himself for being stupid. Although there was the World Gena Convention, there was so much room for maneuver. Why didn't he turn around just now?

Then Fang Jian found Zhuang Jiwu and asked, "Jiwu, have the construction of local administrative agencies been completed?"

"Commander, the provincial and municipal administrative units have been basically established, but there are still some parts of the county-level administrative system that are still under construction."

Fang Jian nodded. It had only been more than half a month. It would take some time to see results. Fang Jian knew that he was a little anxious.

He wanted to quickly integrate his forces, consolidate the rule of the fourteen provinces, and then immediately send troops to drive the dwarf locusts out of the new country.

After taking a long breath and calming down, Fang Jian said, "Send orders to all departments, asking them to speed up the elimination of banditry in various places and restore stability in various places in the shortest possible time."

"Yes, Commander, all the divisions are already working on this matter," said Zhuang Jiwu.

Since the Nanchuan Division entered various provinces, it has begun to eliminate banditry in various provinces, and has achieved considerable results in some places.

Although the Nanchuan Army had not been trained for a long time, the people of Nanchuan were fierce and fought with a determination to fight to the death.

In the midst of the busyness, time came to March 3nd.

That morning, Tao Yunongcong hurried to Fang Jian'an's office and reported, "Commander, something happened."

"What's the matter?" Seeing Tao Yunong so anxious, Fang Jian knew that it must be no trivial matter.

Tao Yunong took a breath, glanced at Fang Jian secretly, and said, "Commander, Heyuan Province sent a telegram to the whole country this morning, saying, saying, saying..."

"What did you say? Tell me slowly." Seeing him hesitating, Fang Jian said unhappily.

Tao Yunong swallowed and whispered, "They said they wanted to change their flag and join the rule of the Little Locust Nation."

After saying this, Tao Yunong waited for Fang Jian's trial. Before that, Fang Jian had repeatedly told him to pay attention to the movements of the Dwarf Locust Kingdom.

He actually didn't notice that the small dwarf locust country had colluded with Heyuan and even carried out such a big event as changing the flag.

The consequences of this matter are not small. If Heyuan Province changes its flag, it is possible that other people will follow suit.

Once Pandora's box is opened, it cannot be closed.

Fang Jian sighed and did not intend to punish Tao Yunong. Instead, he ordered: "Let Fang Guoxuan's First War Zone send troops to occupy Heyuan immediately."

"At the same time, transfer the Second War Zone northward to join Fang Guoxuan, and transfer all the remaining twelve Nanchuan divisions to Jiangnan Province to guard against the Southern Army."

There are twenty-five Nanchuan divisions, thirteen of which are stationed in thirteen provinces, leaving twelve divisions.

Although Nanchuan is a new army, the Southern Army has suffered heavy losses, and the remaining elite troops are less than 50,000. Even if all these 50,000 people come to attack, Fang Jian believes that the Nanchuan Division will be able to defend Jiangnan Province.

Twenty divisions, more than 430,000 people, gathered on the northern front. After taking Heyuan, they had enough forces to fight the dwarf locusts.

But Francis did not want to fight the dwarf locusts so early. Once the war started, its homeland would certainly provide support and the war would inevitably drag on for a long time.

Fighting a large-scale war with the dwarf locusts is different from fighting with domestic warlord troops. No matter in terms of eliteness, equipment, or quality of soldiers, the domestic warlords cannot compare with the army of the dwarf locust country.

Unless you have an absolute advantage in military strength, it is still difficult to quickly annihilate the enemy.

After receiving the message from Fang Jianan, Fang Guoxuan did not dare to delay and immediately conveyed Fang Jianan's order to the officers of various departments.

"Finally, there's a war to fight again. I was afraid that people would get rusty without wars in the future." Zhang Wei was very happy when he heard that he could fight in the war.

Li Zhongwu was speechless and said, "Commander Zhang, the fighting has only been over for more than a month, and you are already rusty?"

"If there is peace for a year or two, what will you do?"

Facing Li Zhongwu's ridicule, Zhang Wei said indifferently: "The new country is about to be unified, so I am naturally anxious."

"If the world is unified and there are no more wars, I can live a peaceful and wealthy life. Without the worries of war, my body will naturally not rust."

After everyone had joked for a while, Fang Guoxuan said, "There will be no problem entering Heyuan Road this time."

"What the commander is worried about is the movements of the Dwarf Locust Nation after we enter Heyuan. I'm afraid they will insist on entering Heyuan and start a war with us. At the moment, this is very disadvantageous to us."

"The Dwarf Locust Kingdom doesn't have many troops in Qiyuan, is there any need to worry about them?" Zhang Wei asked puzzledly.

Fang Guoxuan shook his head and said, "I am not worried about the Heyuan garrison of the Little Locust Nation, but the Little Locust Nation itself."

"We can easily defeat the division in Heyuan. If the Dwarf Locust sends more troops, it will not only disrupt our plans, but also delay our development."

"Besides, half of the twenty divisions we are currently fighting in are new recruits and have not yet recovered their peak combat strength."

"It's fine to fight the Dwarf Locust Nation on a small scale, but once a large-scale conflict occurs, our disadvantages will become apparent."

"Once the war breaks out, there's no telling whether the northern government or the new southern army will make a comeback."

Tao Yunong gave Fang Guoxuan a piece of intelligence from both the North and the South. The Northern government did not have to worry for the time being, but the new army forces in the South had to be guarded against.

Fang Guoxuan then arranged: "Heyuan has no regular army, but they have formed a puppet army of 3,000 people. This force does not have much combat effectiveness and does not pose much of a threat."

"At that time, our 10th Division will go directly to Kaiyuan, and the 1st Army will go directly to Shangyuan, and we will deploy defenses here."

"The 11th, 12th, and 13th divisions are deployed in Lan County to coordinate with the First Army to prevent the Qiyuan Dwarf Locust Army from entering Heyuan."

"The remaining 14th, 15th, and 16th divisions will quickly sweep the surrounding occupied cities and prepare for support."

Glancing at everyone, Fang Guoxuan said solemnly, "The commander has ordered that all those who join the traitor camp will be shot and their property will be confiscated."

"As for my family, those who have done evil will be dealt with according to the law, and those who have done good will be released after investigation."

Everyone had no different opinions on this, so they all stood up and responded, "Yes."

Afterwards, some details were discussed and the military officials dispersed to mobilize the troops and prepare for action at any time.
