Warlord: Red Alert Base, I challenge the whole world alone

Chapter 138: The siege of the Tianjin Concession and the fierce reaction of the great powers

The Tianjin Concession was the product of unequal treaties signed between the great powers and the northern border court.

There are four most famous concessions in the entire ancient country.

They are Tianjin, Shanghai, Jiangcheng and Yangcheng.

However, in addition to these four most famous ones, there are 23 concessions.

The total number of concessions across the country reached 27.

Among them, Tianjin and Shanghai belong to the International Settlement, and the remaining 25 concessions belong to the Special Settlement.

From this number you can see how shocking it is.

In the concession, they enjoyed administrative autonomy and extraterritoriality, and they had the final say in everything.

Over the years, the great powers have used the concessions as important strongholds to continuously strengthen their control over the ancient country, thereby gaining more benefits.

The Tianjin International Settlement was the largest of the 27 concessions in the country and the one with the largest number of concession countries.

In the earliest times, nine countries established concessions in Tianjin.

So far, there are concessions in six countries, including John, Gaul, Hans, Italy, Bileg, and Fuso.

Of course, the Fuso Concession has been forcibly recaptured by the Restoration Army, all personnel have been detained, and all property has been confiscated, so now there are only five concessions left.

They occupied the most central area of Tianjin.

Since the Fuxing Army occupied Tianjin, it has sent troops to vaguely surround the concession.

This also made the concessions of various countries vaguely uneasy.

Early morning in the sixth month of the Renshen year.

Tianjin West Railway Station.

Jinmen West Railway Station is also one of the busiest railway stations in Tianjin City, and is also one of the main roads leading to John Concession.

At present, the Jinmen West Station is also occupied by the John people, and Indian soldiers have been sent to guard it.

In the early morning, Tianjin West Railway Station becomes one of the most crowded and lively areas, with people coming and going and the sounds of hawking being heard continuously.

At this time, the roar of an engine was heard on the street.

I saw several multi-functional wheeled infantry fighting vehicles driving on the street leading to the West Station. Behind the wheeled infantry fighting vehicles were a number of Willys jeeps and more than ten 1.5-ton light trucks.

These Willys jeeps were also equipped with M2HB large-caliber heavy machine guns.

After seeing this scene, the people along the street retreated to the side of the street, with a hint of fear and panic in their eyes.

It was not until the convoy had gone far away that they began to discuss it curiously, and it became one of the topics of conversation in the early morning.

The convoy drove directly into the West Station.

The Indian soldiers stationed at the gate had their heads pressed against the guns of the Fuxing Army and dared not move.

Then a whole company of soldiers rushed into the West Station with guns.

The officer in front used a loudspeaker to shout, "Please don't panic, we are the Fuxing Army and we will not harm the people.

We are now entering the West Station to take over its defense and reclaim it from the Johns. Everyone, please don’t panic…”

Such calls did have some effect.

The crowd calmed down, and some of the braver ones even shouted, "Do you really want to recapture Jinmen West Station from John's people?"

The officer glanced at the crowd, nodded heavily, and shouted, "Of course, Jinmen West Station itself belongs to our ancient country. How could we allow foreigners to seize it?"

Soon a John came over with a group of people and stood in front of the officer arrogantly.

"I have heard what you just said. I will convey it to the concession truthfully. You will pay the price.

Now please lead your soldiers to withdraw from Jinmen West Station. This is John's territory."

Even when facing the soldiers of the Restoration Army who had already occupied various places, this John man still did not show any fear, but instead looked fearless.

Because he didn't think the Renaissance Army would dare to do anything to him.

The officer looked at him coldly and said in a bad tone: "I don't know what price we will pay, but I know you will pay the price soon.

Arrest him! If you dare to say another word, I’ll send a bullet straight to him.”

The officers deeply detested these foreigners who still acted arrogantly in the ancient country.

They are used to acting recklessly in this area.

We have ignored who the real owner of this land is.

So the officer no longer planned to waste any more time talking to this kind of person.

"Hey, don't move. If you want to arrest someone, have you asked us?"

At this time, a man who seemed to be an Indian military officer spoke.

At the same time, several Indian soldiers beside him raised their rifles and pointed them at the Fuxing Army soldiers who were about to rush forward.

Seeing this scene, a hint of murderous intent flashed in the officer's eyes.

"If the expulsion target attempts to resist with weapons, attack!"

As the officer finished speaking, the Renaissance Army soldiers who had been aiming at this side pulled the triggers of their assault rifles and submachine guns without hesitation.

In an instant, gunfire rang out, and several Indian soldiers, including John, who had not yet introduced his name, were shot to pieces.

The people here were in chaos when they heard the gunshots, but they were also shocked.

This is John's man, can you just kill him like that?

And he killed not just one person, but several.

At this time, the people in the surrounding areas also felt firsthand the determination of the Fuxing Army to recapture Tianjin West Station.

The scene at Tianjin West Station was staged in various places one after another.

All the passages leading to the International Settlement were seized by soldiers of the Renaissance Army.

The garrison was either forcibly disarmed or slaughtered directly; there was no third option.

Located in the outer sea of Tianjin Port, the First Fleet is still here.

The guns were pointed at foreign warships docked in the port.

Since then, the Fuxing Army has completed the encirclement of the entire Five Nations Concession from both land and sea.

This incident also caused a huge sensation both inside and outside the concession.

The Fuxing Army's large-scale action in the early morning still attracted the attention of the people of Tianjin.

But they never expected that the Fuxing Army would be so bold as to directly surround the concession.

All major passages leading to the concession were guarded by the Fuxing Army, which also attracted many onlookers from Tianjin.

It was the first time they had seen an army so tough against foreigners.

At the same time, I felt an inexplicable excitement and pride in my heart.

After all, the Fuxing Army is their own army.

The Renaissance Army's tough performance naturally made them feel very excited.

This also made some people who were indifferent to the matter gradually identify with this army.

There was also chaos inside the concession at this moment.

The consuls of each major concession also held the title of concession manager.

Now the Renaissance Army directly surrounded the concession, and Phillips, the consul of John's country in Tianjin, summoned the consuls of the other four countries.

"Gentlemen, unfortunately, the Fuxing Army has indeed attacked our concession.

Now they not only occupied all the intersections leading to the concession, but also issued us an ultimatum.

All of our personnel are required to evacuate the concession within 7 days, and they will provide a special evacuation channel."

"What if it takes more than 7 days?"

At this time, the Italian consul asked with a somewhat ugly expression.

Consul Phillips looked at him and said directly, "If you stay for more than seven days, you will be forcibly detained and all your property in the ancient country will be confiscated."

"God, who gave them the guts to do this? Does the Renaissance Army want to start a war with us again?"

The Gaul Consul in Tianjin said with some shock.

"Gentlemen, the Fuxing Army has defeated the Fuso people and the Northern Frontier Army, and has now occupied Shangjing City and Tianjin.

Obviously they thought we were no match for them.

The Restoration Army seemed to have forgotten that Fuso was just a second-rate industrial country.

We are the masters of this world.

An idiom from ancient China can well describe the current Fuxing Army.

That's a frog in the well!

The actions of the Restoration Army are a provocation to us, so I think we should send all our soldiers out to confront them.

If the Fuxing Army dares to take action, counterattack immediately.

I don't believe the Renaissance Army has the guts to start a war."

The proposal of John Phillips, the Consul of the United States in Tianjin, was passed unanimously.

They bet that the Fuxing Army was just playing tricks and wanted to use a tough attitude to force them to voluntarily withdraw from the concession.

But in fact, they didn't dare to do anything to them.

Because they are backed by the top Western powers.

During this era, John's Empire and Gaul occupied most of the world's colonies, and were truly the empire on which the sun never set.

So they do have the confidence to say this.

They also have the confidence to look down on the Renaissance Army, thinking that the Renaissance Army is nothing but a frog in a well.

But Jiang Hua knew very well that these great powers were now only strong on the outside but weak on the inside.

The last world war had consumed too much of their energy, and it was already difficult for them to maintain their colonies around the world.

They really don't have the strength or financial resources to travel thousands of miles to fight the Renaissance Army.

What's more, even if they came, Jiang Hua was not afraid.

The current Renaissance Army has enough strength and confidence to face any powerful country.

Eighteen main divisions and thousands of fighter planes.

Which great power can defeat the Renaissance Army without mobilization?

Jiang Hua is not afraid even if they mobilize. As long as the Red Alert base has sufficient funds, the speed of recruiting troops will be faster than their mobilization speed.

It wouldn't take long to recruit a million-strong army at any cost.

This is the confidence that gave Jiang Hua the courage to forcibly retake the concession.

What's more, every one of these powers bullies the weak and fears the strong.

If you come to them and ask for negotiations at this time, they will think that the Fuxing Army is showing weakness and will become more aggressive.

So you have to show a strong enough attitude from the beginning.

However, Jiang Hua, who came from the modern society of the original time and space, still underestimated the arrogance of these powers.

In their view, the Renaissance Army's move was undoubtedly a provocation.

So they did not show weakness, but instead mobilized the entire garrison in the concession.

They directly confronted the Fuxing Army at major intersections.

When this matter was reported to Jiang Hua, he immediately sneered.

"I really can't see the coffin without crying."

He immediately picked up the phone on his desk and called the desk of Zhuang Hua, commander of the First Corps Headquarters.

"Mobilize the 1st Independent Heavy Tank Brigade to enter the concessions to suppress the resistance of the foreign troops stationed in the concessions."

If they are tough, then they should act tougher.

This is Jiang Hua’s attitude.
