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

A few days later, the warlord troops in Yongzhou who were responsible for helping the Fuso Empire escort the military aid still received no news from the escorting troops.

The two regiment leaders of the Pang faction warlords, Qin Bingtai and Zuo Jia, also completely lost contact.

The Pang and Guo factions of the Fuso Empire only then realized the seriousness of the matter.

The warlord Pang immediately called Yan Baoguo to inquire about the specific whereabouts of the military aid. After all, the military aid and the escort troops disappeared in Yunzhou.

Yan Baoguo responded quickly. Wang Xiangdong of the 711th Regiment defected to the Northwest Revolutionary Army and attacked the escorting troops at the 711th Regiment’s base in Zhongshan County, intercepting the military aid.

Pang Jinghong was so angry that he was fuming. Two regiments of escort troops and such a large amount of supplies disappeared as if they had evaporated into thin air.

"Yan Baoguo should bear the main responsibility for this matter! We have already discussed with him that if there is any unusual movement in the 711th Regiment, Yan's faction will immediately send out the 712th and 713th Regiments to control the 711th Regiment and Wang Xiangdong. As a result, when the escort troops had problems, Yan's faction did not react at all."

"The key issue for the Governor now is that Yan Baoguo is still trying to shirk responsibility. He responded to us by saying that the intelligence we provided originally indicated that the 711th Regiment would take action in the Bailian Mountains, but who knew that the 711th Regiment would take action directly in Zhongshan County where it is stationed. Yan said that it was our intelligence error that ultimately led to the hijacking of this batch of military aid."

Pang Jinghong angrily smashed the teacup in his hand to pieces.

“Even if his 711th Regiment hijacked the military aid, it is impossible for them to leave Yan’s territory silently. There are at least 711 to 711 combat troops of Yan’s faction from Zhongshan County to the west. As soon as the military aid was hijacked, Yan Baoguo directly ordered his troops to intercept the th Regiment. I don’t believe that Wang Xiangdong’s th Regiment can grow wings and fly over!”

"I think the old fox Yan Baoguo must have reached some agreement with Su Zhengyang in private. Otherwise, how could the 711th Regiment have quietly hijacked this batch of military aid when we were on guard in advance?"

Pang Jinghong's mentality exploded. He originally thought that everything was under his control. Not only could he deliver military aid to the northwest smoothly, but he could also make Su Zhengyang suffer a great loss.

The result is that they have lost both the wife and the army. This batch of military aid, plus the 5 tons of opium mixed in it, is worth tens of millions of oceans.

Moreover, it was he who persuaded Fuso to provide assistance to the Guo faction, and it was he who negotiated with the warlords along the way. Now that there is a problem, the Fuso people are likely to let him take the blame.

As expected, whatever you are afraid of comes.

Half an hour later, the secretary hurriedly pushed open the office door.

"Mr. Sakata, the governor of the Fuso Empire's embassy in Yanzhou City, requests to see you."

Sakata Yamashita walked into the office angrily.

"Pang Sang, I need you to give an explanation for this matter. It was you who acted as a middleman, and our Fusang Empire decided to provide military assistance to the Guo warlords in Northwest Linzhou."

"Now that this batch of military aid worth tens of millions of oceans has been hijacked, you are responsible for recovering the losses of our Fuso Empire."

Pang Jinghong was furious, but he did not dare to offend Sakata Yamashita.

"Please rest assured, Mr. Sakata. I will give the Fuso Empire a satisfactory explanation for this matter. Whoever hijacked this batch of military aid will have to pay the price."

Sakata Yamashita looked at Pang Jinghong with a gloomy expression.

"I'll give you one month. If you can't get this batch of military aid back after one month, all the losses suffered by the Fusang Empire this time will be borne by your Pang family."

Pang Jinghong's face was gloomy and he cursed in his heart.

These Japanese people are not good people either. I worked so hard to act as a bridge and help them achieve their goals in the northwest. But now that this batch of military aid has problems, they put all the blame on me.

Pang Jinghong dared not speak out, after all, the Jiangbei Army still had to rely on the support of the Fuso Empire.

"Please believe me, Mr. Sakata. I will give you a satisfactory explanation in a month."

"It's better this way, otherwise our Fusang Empire will doubt Mr. Pang's ability. You have to remember that our Fusang Empire will never cooperate with fools."

Bantian Yamashita walked away in a huff. Pang Jinghong yelled hysterically in the office, "Send a message to the intelligence personnel in Yunzhou right away. If it weren't for their intelligence error, they wouldn't have made such a big mess. I must kill these rubbish!"

In the operations meeting room of the Northwest Linzhou Governor's Office.

Guo Qicheng was holding a military meeting with his generals at various levels.

"This batch of military aid from the Fuso Empire will arrive in Yong'an City soon. Once it arrives, it will be time for us to launch a counterattack against the Northwest Revolutionary Army. I hope you will not let me down again this time and achieve outstanding results on the battlefield."

"Please rest assured, Governor. With this batch of military equipment, we will definitely defeat that little bastard Su Zhengyang and his Northwest Revolutionary Army."

"Governor, I am not bragging. These little soldiers of the Northwest Revolutionary Army have no battlefield experience. They just rely on their good equipment. As long as the Fuso people continue to provide us with military assistance, we will be able to completely wipe out the Northwest Revolutionary Army in less than three months."

Looking at the generals who were confident and in high spirits, Guo Qicheng nodded with satisfaction.

If it weren't for that brat Su Zhengyang, who was causing trouble everywhere and provoking the Jiangbei Pang family, how could they have gotten this turning point and reached a strategic partnership with the Fuso Empire.

Half an hour after the meeting ended, Li Wenqi pushed the door open and walked into Guo Qicheng's office with a serious expression.

"Governor, our intelligence department's secret line in Yunzhou has sent back news that the military equipment donated to us by the Fusang Empire has been hijacked by the 711th Regiment of Zhongshan County in Yunzhou and the Northwest Revolutionary Army."

Guo Qicheng held a wine glass in one hand and a cigar in the other.

While tasting red wine and smoking a cigar with great enjoyment, the Northwest Revolutionary Army has almost become a thorn in his side these days.

Seeing that the military aid from the Fuso Empire was about to arrive in the northwest, Guo Qicheng felt happier than ever before.

Just when he thought he was on top of the world, the news that Li Wenqi said was undoubtedly a heavy blow to him.

It made him fall from the clouds to the bottom of the valley in an instant.

With a snap, the goblet in Guo Qicheng's hand slipped out of his hand and fell to the ground.

Glass shards flew everywhere.

"What did you say? Say it again."

Guo Qicheng couldn't believe his ears.

Li Wenqi shook his head helplessly and repeated the story again.

Guo Qicheng's eyes were red, and he roared like thunder: "Useless Fuso people, useless Pang warlords, they are all trash! Trash!"

"Bring that damned Ito Masao to the Governor's Office to see me immediately!"
