Chapter 133 The system after the Shanghai Incident escalated
Pang Jinghong glanced at Zhang Chengxiang thoughtfully and said, "Brother Zhang, can you let me see the contents of this telegram?"
Zhang Chengxiang handed the telegram to Pang Jinghong without any hesitation. After reading the contents on it, Pang Jinghong's pupils suddenly shrank.
"Governor Zhang has passed away! The murderer is suspected to be a spy from the Southern Government? This is really a major event that will affect the Northern Frontier's layout in Shanghai!"
Shanghai, China's financial center and an important port city, is even more prosperous than Beilong City.
Originally, Shanghai was controlled by the Northern Frontier Government. Five years ago, a small-scale war centered on Shanghai broke out between the North and the South. Under the military pressure of the Southern Government's 300,000 troops, the Northern Frontier Government had to give up half of its control over Shanghai and co-govern with the Southern Government.
The small city of Shanghai is the place with the most complicated situation in the whole of China. Not only are there the 27 Songhu troops of the Northern Frontier Government, but also the 29th Army of the Southern Government and the th Central Army stationed here. There are also seven or eight concessions of various sizes by the great powers.
The situation in Shanghai has been relatively stable so far, but a telegram from the Hidden Dragon Bureau under Zhang Chengxiang stated that Zhang Jiwei, the governor of Songhu of the Northern Frontier Government, was assassinated in his mansion last night. Now the 50,000 Songhu troops are facing a situation of being leaderless.
This incident, which happened at a special time when a full-scale war between the North and the South was about to break out, is indeed thought-provoking.
Today, the military power of the 50,000 Songhu Army has fallen into the hands of Zhang Liye, the eldest son of the Zhang family. This young marshal Zhang is no simple character. He returned from studying abroad at the internationally renowned Frunze Military Academy and is extremely prestigious in the entire Songhu Army. What is even more terrifying is that Zhang Liye has made several statements stating that the Southern Government is the orthodox government of China today.
He repeatedly touched the bottom line of Northern Xinjiang, and even his father Zhang Jiwei was so angry that he dismissed Zhang Liye from his military post. The old man personally rushed to Beilong City to plead for mercy, which saved Zhang Liye's life.
It can be said that Zhang Liye is an out-and-out pro-Southern government faction. In fact, in the past few years, the Northern Xinjiang government has been intentionally or unintentionally consolidating the power of the Songhu Army and sending many outstanding officers from the Northern Xinjiang Central Military Academy to the Songhu Army to divide the military power of the Zhang faction.
However, Zhang Jiwei's sudden death is likely to cause the 50,000 Songhu troops to lose control directly. Once there is any change in Shanghai, the Southern Government will immediately occupy the entire city, which is an unbearable and heavy loss for Northern Xinjiang.
If nothing unexpected happens, the top leaders of Northern Xinjiang will soon hold a top-level congressional meeting to discuss countermeasures because of this incident.
"The best solution to this problem is for the Northern Frontier to send a respected senior official to ease the tension in Shanghai, appease Zhang Liye, and take back control of the Songhu Army. However, Shanghai is calm on the surface, but it hides a terrifying raging wave. Whoever goes there may be buried in this storm."
Pang Jinghong said thoughtfully: "I have a suitable candidate in mind. At the congressional meeting, Brother Zhang can nominate this person to rush to Shanghai to solve the problems here."
The two old foxes looked at each other with a smile, and both saw the answers they wanted in each other's eyes.
On the other side, Su Zhengyang, who was checking the telegram from Linzhou in the post house, suddenly heard the system's voice in his mind.
[Ding! Congratulations to the host, the system has been successfully upgraded. The current system level is intermediate. The host can view the changes of the intermediate system in detail in the system manual. ]
Su Zhengyang opened the system interface in his mind and began to read the system upgrade instructions.
After a moment, Su Zhengyang nodded thoughtfully, with a look of surprise in his eyes.
After the upgrade, the system has abandoned the previous habit of assigning tasks or rewarding Su Zhengyang for special achievements.
The system is now divided into three sections: the task system, the achievement system, and the system mall.
The system's tasks are now divided into five levels, from one star to five stars in terms of difficulty. After completing a one-star task, you can get system points. A two-star task will double the points, and so on. For high-difficulty tasks above four stars, after successfully completing them, you can also get a random lottery number. The rewards for the lottery range from guns, ammunition, tents, and military uniforms to airplanes, warships, and even aircraft carriers.
There is almost no difference between the achievement system and the task system, and it is still from one star to five stars.
The last one is the so-called system mall.
Su Zhengyang clicked on the interface of the system mall on the virtual screen that appeared in his mind. The current system mall has five categories, namely the Army, Navy, Air Force, Medical, and Mercenary Forces.
In the army interface, there are various guns and ammunition, light and heavy firepower, artillery, and even long-range rockets. The price of a 98K rifle is 1 system point, and the price of 7.62 bullets is 1 point for 200 bullets. What surprised Su Zhengyang is that after this system upgrade, some advanced military equipment that does not belong to this era has appeared. For example, among the submachine gun types, the so-called Chicago Typewriter (Thompson submachine gun) appeared, priced at 2 points each, and among the machine gun types, there appeared German standard equipment, such as the MG30 light machine gun, MG45 general-purpose machine gun, etc.
There are also various types of military vehicles and armored units, such as the French Renault FT17 light tank of the Northwest Revolutionary Army Armored Brigade, which is priced at 500 system points. There are also some more advanced armored vehicles, such as the Kfz.13 wheeled armored vehicle (priced at 800 system points), the T-26 light tank (priced at 600 points), and the Soma S-35 cavalry tank (priced at points).
There are even rocket vehicles that can inflict long-range, high-powered strikes on the enemy, such as the T-34 Organ (priced at 2000 system points) and the BM-13 rocket launcher (Katyusha rocket launcher) (priced at 3000 system points).
In the air force interface, there are various types of fighters and bombers, such as P-40 fighter (price system points), P-51 "Mustang" fighter (price system points), Ju 88 bomber (price system points), and B-25 bomber (price system points).
In the navy interface, there are battleships of various tonnages, cruisers, frigates, and even aircraft carriers and other powerful weapons, but the prices are also very expensive, at least which makes Su Zhengyang currently afraid.
As for the medical section, the first thing that comes to mind is actually a building-like object called the Medical Research Center. Below it are various medicines, including penicillin, sulfonamides, painkillers, and various medical devices.
One of the penicillins was sold for 100 points each, which was shockingly expensive.
And this so-called medical research center actually requires one million system points. There is also a similar building at the bottom, called the Advanced Central Hospital, which requires 500,000 system points.
However, purchasing a medical research center will come with 200 top medical research experts. With this building, we can independently produce and research various drugs, including penicillin.
The Advanced Center Hospital comes with fifty professional doctors and one hundred and fifty senior nurses.
This system upgrade gave Su Zhengyang enough surprises. Su Zhengyang then began to browse the last section, the so-called mercenary forces section. The content on it made Su Zhengyang look extremely shocked on the spot.
