Chapter 98: Nationwide Heated Discussion
The next day!
The citizens of Chang'an discovered that Ta Kung Pao had published a news report.
The large headline above read: Sichuan Army suffers obstruction from Nanjing Command upon leaving Chuan, and is slapped with trumped-up charges.
Once this news came out!
The common folk of Chang'an began to discuss it one after another.
The children selling newspapers were also shouting loudly that the Sichuan Army was receiving unfair treatment!
Suddenly!
The Sichuan Army at the train station also discovered many common folk coming one after another to visit the Sichuan Army.
The common folk asked the Sichuan Army soldiers whether what the newspaper said was true or not.
The Sichuan Army soldiers on guard duty used the words they had memorized to pour out their grievances to the common folk of Chang'an.
The Sichuan Army 22nd Group Army was single-mindedly eager to head to the front lines.
The nationwide heated discussion regarding the unfair treatment of the Sichuan Army was thoroughly turned over.
"Old Deng!"
Before Deng Xihou could speak, Yu Hua spoke first: "Deputy Commander Sun, rest assured!"
Changan Field Headquarters!
Taking the newspaper, Jiang Mingsan took one look and was furious.
Just as Jiang Mingsan was losing his temper, a Communications Soldier arrived to tell Jiang Mingsan that Principal Chang had called.
The Sichuan Army could finally re-equip!
After hearing the soldiers' grievances, everyone was also extremely indignant.
Deng Xihou and Sun Zhen looked at each other, their eyes brimming with joy.
The soldiers also spoke at length about the suppression of the Sichuan Army by the Nanjing Command!
The common folk of Chang'an had also been in contact with the Sichuan Army at the train station for a while.
Everyone was wearing single-layered clothes and trousers, barefoot in straw sandals, and carrying hearts full of burning passion, but after arriving at the re-equipping location, the Nanjing Command actually failed to honor their promise!
Now the Nanjing Command has already issued an order to re-equip the 22nd Group Army immediately.
The soldiers on guard duty discovered a large crowd of citizens coming aggressively.
A wave of relief also washed over the hearts of the two men!
This is the will of the people!
"If we do this, can the matter be resolved?"
If the public did not believe them, the Sichuan Army could even list evidence!
"Deng Xihou... Deng Xihou..."
For now, he was just trying out methods from the new era in the Republic of China.
Jiang Mingsan said he would head to the train station now to discuss the re-equipping with the 22nd Group Army.
Chang'an Train Station!
Deng Xihou and Sun Zhen watched as the citizens of Chang'an enthusiastically campaigned and shouted for the Sichuan Army.
Wang shouted at the common folk.
Everyone hurried toward the Changan Field Headquarters.
Principal Chang let Jiang Mingsan use his discretion to re-equip the Sichuan Army.
Letting the Sichuan Army head to the front lines with inferior equipment!
"He is also quite a talent at propaganda now!"
As long as the Sichuan Army 22nd Group Army heads to the front lines and stops making trouble.
Reported on the 22nd Group Army incident!
All of a sudden, the public nationwide also began to question the Nanjing Command!
Principal Chang was like someone being roasted on a fire at this moment!
What could Jiang Mingsan do!
He had no choice but to wait for Principal Chang to unleash his firepower.
It turned out that this time, not only were the citizens of Chang'an aware of the unfair treatment of the Sichuan Army, but newspapers in other provinces had also published it.
"Right now, the entire city of Chang'an knows that the Sichuan Army's northward journey to fight the devils has met with unfair treatment from the Nanjing Command."
The Nanjing Command is truly pushing the Sichuan Army into a pit of fire.
"Keep the guns in your hands held well, but do not chamber any rounds."
Now the Sichuan Army has reported it and even thrown out a series of evidence.
Therefore, the statements about the Sichuan Army in the newspapers right now are all true!
"The matter of our Sichuan Army 22nd Group Army re-equipping will be settled immediately!"
Jiang Mingsan's expression was very ugly.
Jiang Mingsan's face was livid!
Countless citizens would turn their attention to the Sichuan Army.
"These common folk have spontaneously come to seek justice for the Sichuan Army."
Once public opinion is stirred up!
After giving the order, Wang stood at the very front.
Someone recognized Jiang Mingsan, and everyone surrounded the vehicle.
These Sichuan Army soldiers came to Chang'an in single-layered clothes and trousers, and the citizens also donated quite a lot of supplies.
The vigilant Company Commander saw the commoners and students continuously approaching, and beads of sweat appeared on his forehead.
Having received the order, Jiang Mingsan hung up the phone and gathered his men to prepare to go to the Chang'an railway station.
The leading commoners, upon hearing Wang's shouts, all stopped in their tracks.
Originally, this matter was the fault of the Nanjing Command.
Sure enough!
The students shouted as they walked!
"Fellow countrymen, you cannot go any further!"
"Principal wants to appease the dissatisfaction of the masses!"
The commoners had also seen the students' propaganda.
Moreover, at that time, the people at the Changan Field Headquarters were also dragging their feet on re-equipping the Sichuan Army.
"Then they must re-equip us, as long as we stop making a scene."
Jiang Mingsan!
He was originally still fast asleep, but ever since the commoners and students headed toward the Changan Field Headquarters.
Adjutant Liu spoke up: "Ta Kung Pao has published a piece of news about the Sichuan Army being wronged."
It was this guy who handled things poorly; otherwise, how could his brilliant and mighty image have collapsed!!
Arriving at the communications department, after Jiang Mingsan took the phone, Principal scolded him severely.
Jiang Mingsan had no choice but to obediently accept Principal's verbal abuse.
The crowd spoke up for the Sichuan Army, saying they wanted to see the Director of Changan Garrison Headquarters.
He had no choice but to get out of the car and explain to the commoners that the delay in re-equipping the Sichuan Army was due to insufficient preparation.
Some commoners cursed the people at the Changan Field Headquarters, and everyone spontaneously headed toward the Changan Field Headquarters, preparing to demand an explanation for the Sichuan Army.
The Sichuan Army 22nd Group Army had half of its equipment withheld.
The students in Chang'an, upon learning of the unfair treatment of the Sichuan Army, once again raised their propaganda banners.
The re-equipping of the Sichuan Army 22nd Group Army was already a sure thing.
The sentry soldiers reported to Deng Xihou and Sun Zhen.
After all, once the parties involved stopped speaking, the fervor would die down.
This really slapped Principal in the face!
In a fit of anger, Principal had no choice but to call and scold Jiang Mingsan.
The Sichuan Army utilized the voice of the masses to make the Nanjing Command the target of public criticism.
Deng Xihou patted Yu Hua on the shoulder, a satisfied smile appearing at the corner of his mouth: "You kid, you're a good hand at fighting!"
It was so detailed, and the Sichuan Army even said that due to limited newspaper space, there was still some evidence that could not be listed.
As he spoke, Adjutant Liu also handed the newspaper in his hand to Jiang Mingsan.
With this scolding, Principal lectured Jiang Mingsan for a full half hour.
Jiang Mingsan was woken up by his own adjutant!
"What is going on outside!"
After the scolding, this matter still had to be resolved.
The things mentioned above were all true; the Sichuan Army was speaking with certainty!
The pictures and text were also arranged very clearly!
The evidence listed in the newspaper was already very detailed.
"Hurry and report!"
"Brothers, everyone don't be nervous!"
This group of soldiers was also nervous!
"Without my order, no one is allowed to fire!"
Some students had even gone to demonstrate at the Changan Field Headquarters!
Jiang Mingsan had arrived, and he said that he had come this time specifically to discuss the re-equipping of the Sichuan Army 22nd Group Army.
Yu Hua had seen such things many times in the new era.
The effect was truly not bad!
Just after leaving the Changan Field Headquarters, Jiang Mingsan saw that the road was full of commoners.
"Ahead is a military restricted zone!"
Looking at the commoners all around, Jiang Mingsan had no choice.
Wang ordered the platoon leader to report, while he personally held the line.
"It seems I underestimated you!"
"The masses will then quiet down."
To tell the truth, Sun Zhen had no confidence in his heart.
Sun Zhen looked at Yu Hua's eyes, also very satisfied.
This kid Yu Hua really is a lucky general.
After the two praised Yu Hua, they immediately went to see Jiang Mingsan!
