Wu Anping's power was fully displayed in front of the people of Xifeng.

The Xifeng Guard Division, which was completed, has three battalions for the maintenance of the order of the new city. Two other regiments are responsible for the warning in the Pingliang direction. The remaining two regiments, including the assault regiment, circled Xifeng, divided into four directions, east, west, south, and north, and entered Xifeng New City along four main streets. Type 26 tanks, and towed field guns rumbled across the streets surrounded by the bayonet forest, shocking countless people.

Merchants, farmers, workers, handicraftsmen, vendors, public servants, teachers, students, performers and other residents of the new city walked from their residences to the streets, gathering a huge stream of people, and flocking to the Happiness Square in the central area of ​​the new city. By 8:3 am, except for the area surrounded by Xifeng Guardian, the Happiness Square, which was enough to accommodate 80,000 people, was already crowded with people.

In the area surrounded by small square arrays of several guards on the west side of the square, the people from Xifeng Construction temporarily built a swearing platform with steel and wooden boards last night. The swearing platform is 1.5 meters high, 16 meters long and 4 meters wide. The stairway to the platform is located on the left. Looking outside the square, the headquarters buildings of Northwest Construction Bank, Northern Industrial Company, Xifeng Construction Engineering Company, and Tiancheng Company are shining brightly in the sunlight.

The guard division participated in the oath-taking ceremony, which was divided into seven 500 square formations, and lined up in the north and southeast of the oath-taking platform. These seven square formations will represent the Xifeng Guard Division, the First to Fifth Division of the People's Liberation Army, and the Northwest Independent Brigade, accepting their military flags and taking the oath at the oath-taking ceremony. The original plan was that the other six divisions and brigades would also send their own phalanx, but because the plan was ahead of schedule, the personnel could not arrive in time, so they could only be represented by all the Xifeng Guard Division.

This oath is not only the Longdong Group's own business, but also to reflect the will of the majority, merchants, farmers, workers, soldiers and public officials have selected some representatives as required. Not only that, since the northwest is a multi-ethnic settlement area, there are many ethnic minorities in the Longdong Group, Xifeng New City, and Xifeng Old City. Now almost every ethnic group in Xifeng has selected their own representatives.

This may be a play, but the message conveyed is very important. Xifeng's resistance is not only a decision by a few people, but is reflected in the will of nobility and inferiority regardless of the will of all the nation.

At 9 a.m., Wu Anping first climbed the oath-taking platform, Guanling East, Tao Yushan, Du Likui, Qi Yuanshan, Xu Fuguo, Tan Gen, Zhao Lihua, Zhang Fengfu, Ma Changshan, Liang Wenshan, Qian Shuhua and others followed, followed by more than 130 representatives from various industries and ethnic groups.

As these people came on stage, the entire square slowly became quiet.

Wu Anping was wearing a black military uniform, which was also the regular uniform of the People's Liberation Army, and the camouflage uniform was worn during combat and training. He walked to the middle of the oath-taking platform, stopped in front of the microphone, and looked at the countless excited faces in the square, with countless pairs of hot eyes, and the blood in his body boiled little by little until his whole heart sounded like a heavy hammer and a strong sense of mission penetrated his whole body and mind in an instant.

He whispered loudly in front of the microphone with passion: "Ten months ago, there was still a deserted place here. Ten months later, a city has risen here. This is not a miracle given by God, but a miracle created by us with our own hands. This is our power, this power can change the world. With this power, we have our current life, and with this power, we will inevitably create a better future."

"We here refer not only to workers, but also to merchants, factory owners, farmers, vendors, public servants, teachers, students and all women and children's families. This is all of us, and it is all of us that the efforts of everyone has created the increasingly prosperous Xifeng New City and a prosperous and peaceful new life."

"No matter who you are, no matter what identity you are, no matter which ethnic group you are from, our goals are the same, and we hope that our lives and our families will get better and better. This is not selfishness, but power, and the inalienable power that each of us should have to survive and develop. As long as we do not exploit, oppress, harm, bully, or invade, this power should and must be guaranteed."

"But some people don't think so. They used whips and bayonets to take away our food, land and wealth, forcing us to withstand hunger, cold and cold, and to lose our homes and displace them. In the eyes of these people, we should be born to be harmed and bullied, so when we are at Xifeng and create wealth from the desolation with our hands, they come again. They are like wolves and leeches. As long as we are more stable, we will come and drive them up, and as long as we are fat, we will eat them."

"We endured it before, but it did not exchange for pity and compassion. On the contrary, we ushered in more cruel oppression and urgency. Now we still have to endure it? We still have to remain silent? We still have to offer wealth with both hands, but we will go straight to death with our wife and children?"

At this time, the passionate singing sounded from the various phalanxes of the guards. People first listened carefully, their minds were stirred up, and then they involuntarily made a sound and joined the chorus with the song.

"Get up! People who don't want to be slaves..."

The chorus of 80,000 people was surging and excited as the war drums among the clouds, like the thunder in the sky. Everyone already understood that this song was the horn of resistance and the horn of charge. No one can remain indifferent. They may not be able to save the country, but they must save themselves.

"Where there is oppression, there is resistance! Defeat the warlords! Resist the oppression!" Wu Anping raised his arms and shouted.

"Down with warlords!"

"Resist the oppression!"

Countless fists were swinging in the air, countless people were screaming at it, countless people burst into tears, and the deafening thunderous shouts echoed over the Plaza of Happiness, breaking free from the constraints of Xifeng New City, and resounding throughout Dong Zhiyuan. The strong wind whistled, the clouds surging, and the great power gathered by the humble was once again unblocked in the thick yellow sky.

This is not the strongest voice of an era, because their expectations are so small; this is not the awakening of the common people, because they have never been addicted to it. All this is just to live well, so regardless of class or nationality, they will resonate and burst out with enthusiasm. This is the most complete and powerful force that Wu Anping hopes to see.

Immediately afterwards, Wu Anping officially announced the establishment of the "Northwest People's Liberation Army". He claimed that although this army was formed by him, it did not belong to a certain person, nor to a certain group, nor to any subordinates. This army is a complete people's armed force, and it will fully reflect the will of all people.

The flag-raising ceremony begins.

On the flags of the Xifeng Garrison Division, the First to Fifth Divisions of the People's Liberation Army, and the Northwest Independent Brigade, Wu Anping, other senior executives of the Longdong Group, representatives of various industries and ethnic groups signed their names to clarify the purpose and determination of the People's Liberation Army of the Northwest to safeguard the interests of all people in this way. The ordinary people in the audience quickly understood the significance of doing so. At the same time, they also recognized many representatives on the stage, who were their colleagues, neighbors or families, so everyone was even more excited.

Wu Anping read out the military rules of the Northwest People's Liberation Army. In fact, there are many contents regarding military rules, because the training methods and relevant rules of the army in later generations are directly adopted, but here he only chose some contents that reflect the idea of ​​"people's armed forces". To put it bluntly, he brought the "three major disciplines and eight points of attention" in later generations.

Such military rules are of course welcomed by everyone, and from this moment on, the residents of Xifeng specifically understood the difference between the so-called people's army and the warlords and all other armies they had seen.

Seven PLA phalanxes sent representatives to come forward one after another, and took the black-bottomed red map and signed regiment dragon army flags from Wu Anping. When he saluted the soldiers, the representatives in front of him would bring the soldiers from the square formation, shouting in a high voice while saluting: "Long live the people!"

When all seven square formations received the military flags, the majestic and tragic and passionate military songs were once again sung by the soldiers, and tens of thousands of people in the square naturally joined the chorus again.

Wu Anping asked everyone to work harder and contribute their own strength to the construction of a new world without oppression. Every part of such power is extremely precious. It is a spark of igniting hope, which can illuminate the fate of all those who are in lingering under the pressure of warlords, and bring them to the light that everyone yearns for.

At the end of the oath, Wu Anping issued an order to fully attack Zhang Zhaoguan and Kong Fanjin to all People's Liberation Army units except the Xifeng Guard Division. Xifeng New City, Laocheng and Changqingqiao Industrial Zone will be handed over to the Xifeng Guard Division for the guarding, demanding that any enemy's attack be resolutely repelled and the fruits of everyone's labor be protected.

The guard division waved military flags, sang military songs, slowly retreated from the Plaza of Happiness and entered the main streets of the new city. The people also shouted slogans and began a grand armed parade with the soldiers.

Tan Gen has been in the Guangzhou Revolutionary Government and is familiar with things like oaths. He reminded Wu Anping that it would be better to send a nationwide electricity to win the support of public opinion. However, after careful consideration, Wu Anping rejected the proposal.

As a young man who cares about the current situation, Wu Anping certainly knows what electricity is.

It can be said that since the Republic of China, the so-called electricity has occurred very frequently, so that it has penetrated deeply into the pores of every section of history of the Republic of China. If you want to understand the political situation and current situation in a certain period of time in the Republic of China in detail, you will not be able to avoid these electricity. Some people even say, "If you don't read electricity, there will be no history in the Republic of China."

The people of the Republic of China had unparalleled love for power supply. They had to go to power supply when they went to power, they had to go out of power, they had to go to reward, they had to go to power for condemnation, they had to go to power for fighting, they had to go to power for peace talks, and even university teachers had to go to power for power when they were owed by the government, which made the entire Republic of China lively and buzzing like the New Year.

Power-up is completely opposite to ordinary telegraphs. The longer the article, the better, the more gorgeous the word, the better, the more elegant the allusion, the better, and pay attention to the momentum of lingering thousands of miles apart. Because of these characteristics, the specific effect of each power-up may be different, but all of them are expensive.

Based on a thousand words, the average price of issuing a national electricity supply is nearly 160 oceans. Even if it is billed in the form of a government official letter, it will cost 80 oceans.

But you should know that this is just one letter. The so-called power supply means that all telegrams have to be sent, and the cost is almost terrible. Power supply is divided into small power supply and national power supply. Small power supply depends on the content requirements. Generally, it is only sent to each newspaper and a public opinion propaganda. If the power supply is nationwide, it must cover at least all first-level, second-level telegraph bureaus, and major newspapers. At present, there are about 200 first-level and second-level telegraph bureaus in the country, and there are no less than 30 influential newspapers.

In this way, if a thousand-word standard is issued nationwide, it will cost at least 16,000 yuan if it is issued in the form of government documents. However, if it is issued in an individual, it will cost at least 32,000 yuan, which is extremely expensive. What is the concept of 32,000 yuan in the Republic of China? In Shanghai, you can buy 30 kilograms of rice for one dollar, and you can run a small textile factory for less than 20,000 yuan; in Guangzhou, you can buy a villa and house of fifty square meters in size for four hundred yuan; in the northwest, you can buy a mu of good land for less than 30 yuan.

In other words, if a nationwide power is sent out, 960 tons of rice, two textile factories, eighty small villas, and more than one thousand acres of good land.

To be honest, although Wu Anping's money is too much to calculate, he is really reluctant to pay such a large price for a power supply. What's more important is that he has no political propositions to promote. At this stage, he still has to focus on doing things. When he really controls Gansu and Shaanxi, it is not too late to make a high-profile move. Moreover, if the power is sent out, warlords of all sizes in the northwest will inevitably become vigilant. Wu Anping is a rebel, but he is not so kind.
