    Tao Jun had no choice. The Italians could not surrender to him and Gu Pinzhen twice at the same time. Gu Pinzhen was the first to arrive and he was the last to arrive. Therefore, the surrender was only effective on Gu Pinzhen's side.  ???????????????But Tao Jun had to lend Gu Pinzhen the wooden boat he brought because Gu Pinzhen's troops could no longer run and had to go back by boat.  At the same time, Tao Jun had to transport a batch of supplies from the other side of the Yangtze River to the Italian troops who had surrendered, otherwise they would starve to death.  News of Italy¡¯s surrender spread quickly.  There was no need for the Allied Provincial Army to block the news. On the contrary, they actively cooperated with the newspapers and quickly spread the news throughout China.  Under the reporter's in-depth digging, the detailed process was also revealed one by one.  Heroes jumped onto the page one by one, quickly walking from the mysterious army to the people.  The Italians came to China in a hurry and announced in a high-profile way that they would rescue the British army and teach China a lesson. However, when they entered the Yangtze River and came into contact with the Allied Provincial Army, they surrendered immediately without showing any resistance.  The real battle lasted only one day, and 40,000 Western troops were forced to surrender in one day. The Chinese were inspired for a while.  Newspapers across the country tirelessly reported on this victory in endless articles, not only in one page, but also in another edition, and then three editions, because the people like to read it, and remember that there are many songs in later generations, including lyrics such as "a century of national humiliation." National humiliation, this  The words are so heavy that they have been weighing on every Chinese heart for generations.  Therefore, every time someone sacrifices his life to expand, or performs similar actions, he is sincerely supported by the people. For example, the Boxers who dare to attack foreigners, no matter how bad they are, everyone regards them as heroes from the bottom of their hearts.  And today's United Provincial Army is naturally much stronger than the Boxers, and it is also much more formal.  The United Provinces have a strong army that can wash away the shame.  There is also a perfect political system that can bring stability and prosperity. For a time, the prestige of the United Provinces has once again increased, and it is even more prosperous than the last time it confronted the British, because this time it was a complete victory, and against the British  The battle has been tangled, and the British have always stayed in Jiujiang.  This reality makes the people who pay attention to the United Provinces very worried. They don't understand military affairs, they only know that the United Nations envoys did not defeat the British. They are worried, they are afraid, and they are afraid.  The fear is that once again China's military power will be crushed to pieces in front of foreign troops, and once again the Chinese people will suffer heart-piercing humiliation.  Just as they were struggling, the Italians suddenly jumped out and announced that they were coming to help the British and sent a large number of troops, claiming to teach the Chinese a lesson. This made the Chinese people who care about the country so worried that they could not sleep.  They may not know Italy, they only know that it is a Western country and a country of foreigners.  After some people with some knowledge spread the word, everyone knew that the Italian army was originally a member of the Eight-Nation Allied Forces. The Eight-Nation Allied Forces were a lingering nightmare for the Chinese. The Italian army suddenly approaching step by step seemed to step on them.  It is like the feet of the devil in the hearts of the people.  Every step made people tremble, and everyone was in despair. It seemed that the Italian army, a member of the Eight-Nation Alliance, was once again going to bring national humiliation to China.  But suddenly, an unexpected news appeared that the Italians surrendered.  Everyone couldn¡¯t believe it and thought it was a mistake in the newspaper.  But one newspaper had a wrong write-up, and it was impossible for all the newspapers to have a wrong write-up, but this sudden happiness was so unbelievable that all the newsboys became the most popular people for a while.  Fresh newspapers became the best-selling commodity.  ??Everyone donated generously. Every time a new newspaper appeared, they bought it immediately and read it eagerly several times in a row.  After squeezing out the last trace of flavor from the paper and ink, I carefully put the newspaper away, but I picked it up and read it again from time to time, for fear that I would see it wrong and see failure as victory.  Countless passionate young people stayed awake for days, worried that when they woke up they would find that it was all a dream, a dream to rejuvenate the country and strengthen the species.  When acquaintances meet, they all tell each other about the Chinese Allied Provincial Army. The Chinese defeated the Italian army and the Italian army. But almost everyone knows the news, and they all know the same thing, but everyone is still willing to listen again and again.  Again.  When friends come to talk, they listen carefully and nod happily and smile.  Gu Pinzhen became a hero. He was the victim of the surrender of the Italian Army. Newspapers mentioned his thousands of miles of attack. Well, it was actually only a hundred miles.  Newspapers reported on his military prowess, which allowed the Italian army to surrender without a fight.  According to the legends of the common people, Gu Pinzhen instantly became a fierce man with three heads and six arms. He was so fearless and fearless that he could not resist.  Gu Pinzhen enjoyed this description very much. He knew that this was the heartfelt hope of the people who loved him. They hoped to have such a hero to protect them.  Before everyone's excitement had passed, it was reported that the United Provincial Air Force was chasing the British fleet east of Anqing for two to three hundred kilometers, annihilating all the British warships that invaded the Yangtze River, and sinking 21 British ships, including 1,000 tons.  There are fifteen regular warships above the 1,000-ton class, and others below 1,000 tons.?Sink them all.  Even more troop carriers were sunk, including those sunk in previous air strikes, a total of fifty troop carriers.  But in order to completely destroy this British fleet that invaded Chinese waters, the United Provinces Air Force paid a considerable price.  More than 30 fighter planes were shot down by anti-aircraft fire from British warships, and only five pilots survived.  In order to pursue the British warships, the United Provinces Air Force chased them for hundreds of kilometers. Although they sunk all the British, many of the aircraft in the United Provinces Air Force were actually on a one-way journey, and they had no ability to return.  Then most of the planes made an emergency landing in nearby areas. There was no ideal airstrip or even a decent road. More planes were destroyed during the emergency landing than during the battle, and more than ten pilots were unfortunately killed.  However, the spirit of the United Provincial Air Force, which will never compromise or be merciless towards the invaders, and will completely eliminate the invaders no matter how much the price is paid, has suddenly become a hot topic and an inspiration.  Feats of the human heart.  This kind of spirit has not appeared in the Chinese army for a long, long, long time.  It seems that only in the history that is so long that people are completely unfamiliar can we find that the Chinese nation once had this strong and uncompromising temperament.  In the Han Dynasty, Chen Tang's men who violated the Han Dynasty would be punished even if they were far away because of this temperament. In the Tang Dynasty, Li Ji's snowy night attack on Liangzhou and Ban Chao's horse riding in the Western Regions had this kind of temperament.  But since the Tang Dynasty, this spirit has gone away. The weakness of the Song Dynasty has made people sad. In the Ming Dynasty, when the emperor guarded the country and the king died in the country, this temperament briefly recovered.  However, the Chinese nation was ill-fated and soon the Jurchens entered the country. China entered the last dynasty in history, the Manchu Qing Dynasty.  Since then, the Chinese have been far away from being strong and have become an ethnic group that has been castrated from the martial spirit. From now on, China has only slaves and no heroes.  There are only cowards and no heroes.  There is only the cunning of a good bird to choose a tree to roost in, there is no loyalty of a minister who does not serve the two masters, there is only the cowardice of a gentleman who does not stand behind a dangerous wall, and there is no determination to go to the tiger mountain.  We, the Chinese, have become a timid and cowardly nation that bends its knees to seek perfection without any thought of progress. The world calls it the sick man of East Asia.  Until the end of the Manchu Qing Dynasty, the Republic of China stumbled through chaos for fifteen years.  This temperament has revived in an army, which is naturally the United Provincial Air Force.  As a result, the Air Force of the United Provinces also became a hero. Air Force Commander Li Jiaming suddenly became a household name. People said that this man was brave enough to be worthy of all men. He could reach the sky and the sea, and he could reach the sky and the earth. But in fact, many ordinary people  They don¡¯t even know what the Air Force is.  certainly.  The praise for Li Jiaming made his classmate Yan Yucong, the commander of the naval aviation force who was also the commander of the aviation force, very depressed, but it was of no use at all.  No one remembers Yan Yucong. Although he participated in the war against Britain, who said he failed.  If he had succeeded in retaining the British warship, perhaps there would have been no chance for Li Jiaming to appear this time.  It¡¯s depressing.  War is not something that can only be won by one or two people. No one pays attention to those ordinary soldiers or those obscure auxiliary personnel. This is a common problem.  Everyone likes heroes and worships heroes. This is unreasonable. When a nation elevates a person to the status of a god, then this nation will inevitably be dominated by their god. However, this is reasonable. A nation cannot even support its own heroes.  What future can a nation that forgets have?  When a reporter from "True Vision" came to interview Zhao Zeyong, Zhao Zeyong called on everyone to pay attention to those unknown heroes.  But Zhao Zeyong's appearance immediately made everyone pay attention to him.  The newspaper seemed to have found a new point of excitement, and then stimulated the people to dig deeper into the news about Zhao Zeyong, collecting every detail of Zhao Zeyong's establishment of the United Provincial Army from all aspects.  For a time, the newspapers were full of news about the Allied Provincial Army.  This made other warlords very depressed, especially the big bosses in the Northern Expedition. ??????????????????????????????????????????????????? And there is a newspaper that wants to interview various leaders of the Northern Expeditionary Army. Jiang Xiashi and Feng Yuxiang both received interview requests.  Feng Yuxiang simply refused, but Jiang Xiashi could not refuse. He was the commander-in-chief of the Northern Expeditionary Army. Logically speaking, Zhao Zeyong and the Allied Provincial Army were just troops and generals under him.  But the newspapers were very ignorant. They wanted to separate the Allied Provincial Army and Chiang Kai-shek's First Army of the Northern Expedition and compare them. They almost asked Chiang Kai-shek why the First Army of the Central Army did not  Instead of taking measures against the armies of the great powers, they were allowed to enter the middle reaches of the Yangtze River to fight against the Allied Provincial Army.  Ask Jiang Xishi why he was so weak when facing the great powers.  Jiang Jieshi was very anxious, but fortunately he was quick-thinking. Since you separated the Allied Provincial Army from the Central Army, I didn¡¯t have to point out that the Allied Provincial Army was also my subordinate, which seemed stingy.  But have you forgotten that the Chinese army that dealt with the Italian army this time was not only a unit of the Allied Provincial Army, but also Gu Pinzhen's unit. Where does Gu Pinzhen's Third Army belong? The Central Military Order.  Taking this as an example, Jiang Jieshi had the confidence to prove that the Central Army was not weak.  As for the reason why the armies of the great powers entered the Yangtze River but the Central Army did not respond, that is because the Central Army did not have a strong navy and could not stop the great powers.Team action on the water.  However, the Northeast Navy, the most powerful among the Chinese navy, has done nothing. This is Zhang Zuolin's responsibility.  In the face of invasion by foreign enemies, no matter what your stance is or what your status is, you have the indisputable responsibility to defend your homeland.  Zhang Zuolin refused to take the blame and immediately responded tit for tat, saying who was responsible for the fall of Jiujiang and whose controlled area Jiujiang was. After the fall of Jiujiang, he did not even think about recovering it. This was obviously an act of treason.  Zhang Zuolin's accusation made Jiang Xiashi somewhat unable to defend himself, because it was an obvious fact. After Jiujiang was occupied by the British, because of its dirty dealings with the British, the revolutionary government only issued a protest and ended the matter at all.  There was no intention to regain Jiujiang by force.  However, Jiang Jieshi argued hard and reminded friends in the press not to forget that the Central Army troops also participated in the Jiujiang offensive and defense, and it was Gu Pinzhen who managed to deal with it.  But suddenly, new news came that Jiujiang was captured by the Allied Provincial Army.  After two months of siege, the Allied Provincial Army invaded Jiujiang and captured 50,000 British troops.  After Jiang Xiashi heard the news, his thoughts were complicated and he sighed softly.  No matter how much explanation was given after that, it could not hide the fact that the Allied Provincial Army was far more powerful than the Central Army. No matter how successful the Northern Expedition was, it would not be able to defeat this victory against a foreign enemy.  As the commander-in-chief of the Northern Expeditionary Army, Jiang Xiashi had no choice but to sigh. This sigh was very complicated and had a sense of loss.  Feng Yuxiang also sighed. This was a shocking and incredible sigh.  Feng Yuxiang believed that if the Northwest Army faced the British Army, it would never be able to win so easily.  Seeing the intertwined defense areas of the United Provincial Army and the Northwest Army in the Henan area, Feng Yuxiang, who longed to dominate Henan, felt quite troubled.  Zhang Zuolin also sighed, and then scolded Zhao Zeyong for his talent. When the Allied Provincial Army goes north, he will definitely meet them.  At the same time, he became increasingly negative about the current war situation and asked Zhang Xueliang to immediately return to his hometown in the Northeast to prepare. The Northeast Army might have to leave the border again.  Yan Xishan sighed and immediately issued an order to prepare his troops to leave Shanxi and attack Hebei. He officially joined the Northern Expedition and participated in the attack on the Northeast warlords.  At the same time, he secretly sent his men to Yunnan to establish a good relationship with this newly popular warlord.  The military operations of the United Provinces against the British and Italy obviously had a great impact on the situation in China.
