Su Zhengyang showed a very satisfied smile. There were hundreds of thousands of guns, millions of bullets, and even four 150mm heavy artillery. You have to know that these 150mm heavy artillery, if they hit the target head-on, any solid fortifications and the people inside them would be directly blown to pieces and buried alive. Concrete walls over 1 meter thick could be penetrated, and ordinary buildings would be blown into powder.

The 150mm grenade is even more lethal to personnel. Soldiers within a 20-meter radius from the explosion center will be blown to pieces. Within a 50-meter radius, countless shrapnel will fly everywhere, and people will have no chance of survival. Outside the 150-meter radius, it is not safe, and it is entirely possible to be hit by grenade fragments. People are safe outside the 200-meter radius, but if there is no protection when the grenade explodes, temporary deafness may occur outside 200 meters.

This kind of heavy artillery is simply a super killer on the battlefield. Any solid city wall is vulnerable to the 150MM heavy artillery. The only drawback is that the mobility of this 150MM heavy artillery is really too poor.

With a total of hundreds of 75MM, 105MM, artillery pieces, and 60MM mortars, the current Northwest Revolutionary Army is enough to add an artillery battalion to each of the three brigades of the First Division.

There are also exclusive uniforms for the Northwest Revolutionary Army. With the new uniforms, the army's appearance will be completely renewed.

After the oath-taking ceremony, Su Zhengyang, as the commander-in-chief of the Northwest Revolutionary Army, sent a telegram to the whole country, announcing the official establishment of the Northwest Revolutionary Army. At the same time, he warned all nearby warlord forces that Honghe County and Sanjiang County were the territories of the Northwest Revolutionary Army, and anyone who dared to invade would be killed.

This sudden news spread across the country in an instant, and countless people knew that a Northwestern Revolutionary Army had appeared in Linzhou Province, a northwestern border area.

Yanzhou Province, Beilong City, is the political center of the entire Republic of Dahua. The central government departments of the Northern Frontier Government are located in the center of Beilong City.

In the Presidential Palace, Yang Jiakai, the current President of the Northern Frontier Government of the Republic of China, handed the telegram in his hand to a middle-aged man wearing glasses and a blue Zhongshan suit who had just walked in.

"Jinshu, what do you think of this so-called Northwest Revolutionary Army that suddenly appeared?"

After carefully checking the contents of the telegram, Prime Minister Duan Jinshu pondered for a moment and said, "This so-called Northwest Revolutionary Army Commander Su Zhengyang seems to be Su Yuting's son. If I remember correctly, our Northern Frontier Government once issued a letter of appointment to let him go to Sanjiang County in Linzhou to serve as the head of the security group."

A strange look flashed across Yang Jiakai's eyes. "Oh? He is Su Yuting's legitimate son? This little guy is restless. He is the leader of a small local security group, but he caused such a big commotion. He has the same temperament as his father."

"This will give Guo Qicheng a headache, but this may not be a bad thing for our Northern Xinjiang government."

"Oh? How do you know?"

"The Guo faction is based in Linzhou, northwest China, and they are at odds with our Northern Frontier government. Guo Qicheng, this old fox, tries his best to hide when he is needed, but is more active than anyone else when it comes to getting benefits. The Guo faction is entrenched in the northwest, and they have many secret connections with the Southern Government. With the Northwest Revolutionary Army as a deterrent, the Guo faction will be overwhelmed."

"Jinshu is just a naughty little kid. Facing the 100,000-strong army of the Guo faction, I think that within a month, this so-called Northwest Revolutionary Army will be completely crushed by Guo Qicheng. This little guy is still impatient. If he hides in the dark and develops slowly, and then jumps out to oppose Guo Qicheng when he is strong enough, he may still have a chance of survival. Now that the Northwest Revolutionary Army has directly sent a telegram to the whole country, it is equivalent to slapping the Guo family in the face in front of all the warlords across the country. Guo Qicheng will definitely not give up and will do his best to wipe out the Northwest Revolutionary Army in the shortest possible time."

Prime Minister Duan Jinshu frowned and said, "Your analysis of the situation is quite pertinent."

"We can do this. The Northern Frontier government will come forward to recruit the Northwest Revolutionary Army and appoint Su Zhengyang as the commander-in-chief of the Northwest Revolutionary Army, granting him the rank of lieutenant general. In this way, the Northwest Revolutionary Army under Su Zhengyang will no longer be a rebel army, but a regular army appointed by our Northern Frontier government. Guo Qicheng, the old fox, will have no reason to wipe out the Northwest Revolutionary Army. In this way, Linzhou will form a situation of two tigers on one mountain, which will be enough to make Guo Qicheng anxious."

Yang Jiakai's eyes lit up, and after a moment's silence, he nodded and said, "Okay, let's do as you say. Compared to Guo Qicheng, the tiger who has been entrenched in Linzhou for many years, Su Zhengyang, this little wolf cub, is much easier to control. When necessary, you can give him some benefits so that his Northwest Revolutionary Army can develop rapidly and compete with Guo Qicheng."

The entire Northern Frontier government is composed of dozens of warlord forces of all sizes. Where there are people, there are rivers and lakes. There are quite a few warlord forces like Guo Qicheng, who are ostensibly affiliated with the Northern Frontier government but actually have close contacts with some foreign powers and even the Southern Government. For Yang Jiakai, it would be great if someone could tie down the energy of this old fox Guo Qicheng in Linzhou.

In the Governor's Mansion of Linzhou in Yong'an City, Guo Qicheng was so angry that he overturned a set of exquisite tea sets on the table. There was a crackling sound of porcelain shattering. Guo Qicheng said to Li Wenqi beside him: "This Su Zhengyang is such an ambitious bastard! He actually dared to declare himself the king of Linzhou Province and even sent a telegram to the whole country. This is a slap in my face!"

"Now everyone will think that I, Guo Qicheng, have lost control of Linzhou. Even a small local security group dares to jump out and oppose our Guo family! The warlords throughout China are laughing at me, Guo Qicheng!"
