When Sun Wenhai announced the launch of the law protection movement and overthrow the rule of the Northern Region government, Duan Ruiquan and Feng Guofu held in-depth talks. The two put the conflicts between the Zhi and Anhui divisions on the surface and discussed in detail, and made concessions between each other.

Finally, the Zhi-Anhui and Anhui regime temporarily reached a cooperation intention. They clearly divided their respective spheres of influence and announced a joint fight against the Law Guardian Army. After the participating troops went to the Western Continent to fight, Xu Shuzheng, the number one general of the Anhui regime, was not there, and Fu Liangzuo and Jin Yunpeng took on the work of dispatching troops. Four infantry divisions of the Anhui regime, equipped with special zone weapons, were advanced to the front line of Jiangzuo Province, and three divisions of the Zhi-Anhui regime also entered Nanyuan Province. The war between the two sides first broke out on the front line of Longjiang.

When the war between the two sides broke out, Zhao Shouhong was sitting in the office of Shudu, laughing at the two telegrams in his hand.

"What's so funny?" Jiang Fangzhen, who had just entered the door, asked curiously as he looked at Zhao Shouhong who was secretly smirking.

"Oh, it's Brother Fang Zhen. Sit down. I just read two telegrams." He put the telegram on the table and asked, "How is the situation of the integration of the troops?"

"I came here for this reason. Now the land area of ​​the Special Administrative Region has expanded a lot, and we have territory from the cold zone to the tropical zone. The temperature span is so large and the population distribution is extremely uneven. We need to do too much work." Jiang Fang shook his head and said.

"Yes, but I haven't heard of complaining about too much land." Zhao Shouhong smiled and said, "I have asked the Military Science Department of the Institute to speed up the development of special equipment in tropical and cold zones. It is estimated that it will take only a few months for each unit to replace with special equipment."

"This is good news." Jiang Fangzhen nodded and said, "But I think the territory has expanded so much now and our army has not grown accordingly, so our defense will be difficult."

"Oh? Didn't I order some garrison troops to be formed in various provinces? Why didn't the General Staff Headquarters implement it?" Zhao Shouhong asked curiously.

"Of course, the execution has begun. With the addition of militias and garrison regiments, the progress is very smooth." Jiang Fangzhen's words changed: "But it is difficult for these garrison troops to defend, and our field troops have to join the defense sequence. On the Jaini border to the south, the borders of the Far East and the North Ming provinces in the east, and the Ural area to the west, we must station heavily to defend to prevent sneak attacks from the opponent. In addition, we must also be on guard against the country. Now that the war is about to begin, I am afraid that it will affect us."

"I don't think it's possible. Look at these two telegrams." Zhao Shouhong smiled and handed over the two telegrams.

Jiang Fangzhen took it and found that the telegram was sent by Sun Wenhai and Duan Ruiquan. The contents were quite similar, all of which were words of wining. The only difference was that Sun Wenhai talked about national justice, and Duan Ruiquan was mostly wining over by the officials and making wishes.

"Brother Fang Zhen's opinion, which of these two telegrams is better." Zhao Shouhong seemed to be choosing fruits and vegetables in the vegetable market.

Jiang Fangzhen said: "In terms of interests, Duan Ruiquan's is naturally more tempting, but we can easily get these things and there is no need to pray to him. Sun Wenhai's telegrams seem quite inspiring, but they are all empty words and have no practical significance at all. I see that these two telegrams are not very good, so we simply don't have to worry about them."

"Brother Fang Zhen's words are reasonable, but in fact I plan to ignore them." Zhao Shouhong leaned on the back of the chair and narrowed his eyes and thought about his thoughts.

Jiang Fangzhen said: "I think it's time for the fisherman to gain profit by fighting against snipes and clams. It's better to catch them all in one place and completely unify the entire Hualan when they fight to the death."

"Unified Hualan?" A trace of light flashed in Zhao Shouhong's eyes: "Of course there is no problem, but I don't want to become the target of the great powers now. Now Hualan has not been unified, and the threat to the great powers is relatively small. Even if I do too much, the Western Continent will not be too focused on us."

"But now that the war in the Western Continent is on, their attention cannot be taken into consideration in the Eastern Continent. It is a good opportunity for us to unify the country." Jiang Fangzhen said.

Zhao Shouhong shook his head: "The war will always end. If Hualan had become a unified country by that time, it would be completely suppressed by the Western Continent. They would support Japan to fight us, which would be a very difficult battle."

"But if Hualan is not unified, if the Western Continent also deals with us, the situation will be even more critical." Jiang Fangzhen said.

Zhao Shouhong smiled: "Did you forget Japan? If the Hualan civil war was too strong, the Western Continent would only focus on dealing with Japan. How could they think of us? Although we have a lot of land now, they are all underdeveloped places, which poses no threat to the powerful people in the Western Continent. However, Japan is different. Their Meiji Restoration has gone through decades and its national strength has been greatly developed. At the same time, Japan still maintains a strong navy, which is a great threat to the Sar and the White Eagle."

"Yes, but now the Allied Group has an advantage on the battlefield of the Western Continent. If they win, it will probably be a different situation. The navy of the Allied countries is not strong. Once they win, they can only do their best to manage the Western Continent and the Southern Continent in a short period of time, and will not extend their tentacles to the eastern ocean. In this way, Japan will lose its constraints. If they support domestic warlords and at the same time, they will devote their whole country to attack Hualan, our losses will be very great." Jiang Fangzhen said.

"As long as we have a powerful submarine force, Japan is not scary. Moreover, according to my opinion, the ultimate winner of this war can only be the Allies." Zhao Shouhong took two steps in his office with his hands behind his back and said: "The Allies have huge advantages in numbers, industry and naval forces. They can take advantage of these advantages to consume the war potential of the Teutonic people little by little. Although the Teutonic and Austrian countries are strong, the population is too small. If I had not supported more than three million skilled workers there, I am afraid that the Teutonic and Austrian countries will have begun to lack the troops."

"Even so, the Allies suffered great losses, and they probably won't last long," said Jiang Fangzhen.

"The White Eagle Country has the world's largest industrial capacity and can produce a large number of weapons. They also have a population base of nearly 100 million, which is incomparable to the Teutonic Kingdom. In the end, the Allies must have won. The only question is how much they paid. The Allies are now in the end." Zhao Shouhong said as he looked out the window.
