The Central and Southern Army controlled half of Zhili in one fell swoop and surrounded Qilu Province. In addition, in order to build momentum, Feng Yuxiang listened to his subordinates' suggestions and invited Duan Ruiquan, who had retreated to Tianfeng City, to serve as the temporary rule of Beihua City.

Since the fall of the Anhui clan, Duan Ruiquan has no soldiers or power, but his reputation is still there. Even if Feng Yuxiang has seen this, he hopes to use his reputation to easily control it. Duan Ruiquan's return to power really made both Zhifeng and Feng clan feel uneasy.

Although the Zhi-Feng faction once joined forces to defeat the Anhui faction, the remnants of the various places are still there. If these people began to support the Northern Expedition Army, the end of the Zhi-Feng faction could be foreseen. Moreover, they now occupy Beihua City and control the righteousness of the central government, and the form will be even more unfavorable to the Zhi-Feng faction.

Faced with such a critical situation, Zhang Zuolin knew that he could no longer remain silent, otherwise once the Zhili collapsed, he would be the next one to die. In order to achieve unexpected results, the Fengtian clan submitted a request for assistance to Japan.

Although Japan's economy recovered rapidly in the past two years and soon exceeded the level before the earthquake, the Western Special Administrative Region's stronger development speed made the Japanese government always worried. They knew very well that if Japan wants to rise, it must occupy the land of Hualan. Its new prime minister, Yoshiichi Tanaka, even wrote a letter to the Emperor, claiming that if you want to conquer the world, you must first conquer Hualan, and if you want to conquer Hualan, you must first conquer Mingbei.

Tanaka Yoshiichi's idea is not wrong, but there is a certain gap between his ideas and reality. Hualan Kingdom is too large and if it is weak, Japan still has a chance. Once the entire country is controlled by the Western Special Administrative Region, they will be doomed.

In the past few years after the war, the idea of ​​the Western Special Zone to unify the country has been repeatedly obstructed by various countries, and Japan has played a very important role in it. However, the Western Special Zone has become stronger year by year. Seeing that Japan is already unable to shake this powerful opponent, they can only use conspiracies.

This time, Zhang Zuolin's invitation to send troops made all the top leaders of the military and political circles in Japan excited. They knew that the long-awaited opportunity finally came. Japan quickly agreed to Zhang Zuolin's request for troops, but in order not to make the other party think that they had other intentions, they tactfully stated that they could only send a navy to escort the Feng army to land in Tianfeng City.

Zhang Zuolin was obviously more relieved about the Japanese government's decision not to send an army. He immediately agreed to the other party's conditions and said that he would give appropriate remuneration in the future. In this way, the Fengtian army rushed into the Bohai Bay under the cover of four active battleships sent by Japan.

Feng Yuxiang's army, who received the news of the other side's dispatch of troops, held on to the national defense fortifications and fought back against the Japanese army at Dagukou. The two sides fought fiercely on the coastline. Fortunately, they absorbed the lessons of the failure of the Later Jin government, and the central government of Beihuacheng spared no effort to invest in coastal defense fortifications. After years of construction, Dagukou not only had a powerful reinforced concrete fortress, but also several large-caliber fortress cannons and a large number of small-caliber artillery to assist in the war. In addition, Feng Yuxiang deployed a large number of Red United mines supported by the Red United Kingdom on the beach, and the sea defense was solid. For two hours of fierce fighting, a cruiser in Japan was injured and the entire fleet was forced to retreat. The Dagukou defenders only died more than ten people.

Japan, which had already connected many countries in the Western Continent, immediately sent a note and invited all countries to support it. With the support of the Saar Empire and the Gaul Kingdom, Japan brazenly joined forces with the six Western Continent countries to issue an ultimatum to the Beihuacheng government, demanding that the Central and Southern Army dismantle the Dagukou national defense facilities. Such unreasonable demands were opposed by a large number of people in Zhili. Under the mobilization of the hidden Communist Party members, tens of thousands of people in Beihuacheng gathered in front of the government to protest, demanding that the government reject the seven-nation ultimatum.

Duan Ruiquan was not in charge of the government at that time. When the angry masses attacked the government agencies and asked Duan Ruiquan to come out to answer everyone's questions, the troops stationed here actually fired fire.

When Duan Ruiquan heard the news, he rushed back to the government, the general situation was irreversible. The people who were rallying to protest were shot and killed forty-seven people on the spot, and more than 200 people were injured. After this incident, Duan Ruiquan's government was immediately condemned by various domestic forces. The Western Special Administrative Region also issued a telegram asking for severe punishment of the murderer, and stated that Hualanguo's diplomatic rights had been transferred to the Western Special Administrative Region, and that the Beihuacheng government had no right to interfere in any diplomatic matters.

Zhao Shouhong suddenly stated that he would take over all the pressures of the seven countries, causing warlords from all over the country to lose their voices. At this time, someone dared to take over the ultimatum of the great powers, which obviously made everyone not understand what the Western Special Administrative Region was going to do, but the situation soon became clear.

Before the representatives of the seven countries submitted an ultimatum to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Shu Capital, the Western Special Zone suddenly announced a local mobilization order. Soon, the Southwest Military Region, the Northern Military Region and the Southern Military Region entered a state of emergency war. Various field troops began to move towards the border areas, threatening the colonies of Saar, Gaul and Japan, with one against three.

The sudden tough moves of the Western Special Zone and the frequent mobilization of the army have caused a headache for the Three Kingdoms. The combined military strength of the Three Kingdoms is much stronger than that of the Western Special Zone, but that refers to the maritime force. If we count the army, the Seit Army, which is now becoming increasingly famous, is definitely under great pressure. Now, because the territory of the Western Special Zone continues to expand, the colonies of the Three Kingdoms have land boundaries as well. Once Zhao Shouhong turns against each other, the three Kingdoms will suffer huge losses.

The most jealous of the Three Kingdoms was the Saar Empire. Although the establishment of the Jaini Republic caused the Saar Empire to lose a large number of colonies while also having a buffer zone with the Western Special Zone, greatly improving the situation of being attacked on three sides, another important direction was not so lucky.

As the lifeline of the Sar Empire, the Suez Canal bears the transportation of 80% of the blood transfusions of the Sar Empire's colonies to the local area. Once this place is lost, it will be blocked by the Sar Empire's neck. Now the southern military region of the Western Special Administrative Region has gathered troops, and the Ninth Mechanized Army Liu Chengxun's troops gathered in the northern part of Arab province, which is very stunning to attack the Sinai Peninsula to conquer the Suez Canal in one fell swoop. How can this not make the Sar Empire frightened?
