But this time, it’s different. The whole division embraced the Haixi Department and surrounded it to the north in just one noon. An integrated artillery regiment took the lead in launching an attack. Countless shells flew towards the British and French concessions, and the British and French concessions were completely plunged into the sea of fire in the blink of an eye!
Whether the British and French concessions are out of order, the whole sea is out of order!
At this time, the sea only has less than two regiments of Qing troops, and it is also a garrison force. As soon as the cannon of the Chinese Revolutionary Army rang, it was scared to scold the claws and dispersed in a hubbub. The whole sea has entered a state of out of control. Not only that, but even the people have fled and scattered, and the sea has almost become a city!
The British, French and Western powers can no longer sit still and try to adjust the garrison of warships around the sea in an attempt to fight.
In a hurry, the powers corrected more than a dozen warships, plus four or five thousand troops stationed by various countries, and the Huangpu River Division exhibited a fierce confrontation!
All over the sky, artillery shells fly back and forth to cover the sea, and rumbling guns have turned the sea into a hell for people!
After all, it was the western powers’ troops and the navy’s help that the first division failed to withstand the damage of the allied forces of various countries for a whole noon.
Lin Xiao was so anxious that he couldn’t swim across the Huangpu River, could he?
Now we can also hope that the artillery regiment can repel warships from all over the world, but most of these more than ten warships are armored cruisers. Even with a few shells hitting the deck, it was difficult to sink or even hit hard!
It was not until late that the garrison of the Hong Kong fleet of western countries arrived near the sea one after another and participated in the war. All night, the two sides burned the midnight oil, and the whole sea was illuminated by the war as if it were day.
It is the artillery regiment of the first division across the Huangpu River that can’t stand other people’s fleets, and the fleets of various countries can’t stand the stalemate of the Huangpu River because of the small number of infantry.
At the key time, Liu Buchan, the Chinese fleet, led and escorted the third division to the sea near Songjiang. Seeing the war, Liu Buchan cried and got excited. The war has already started here. How many warships are playing against the first division?
Liu Buchan immediately ordered two warships to cover the landing of the third division, and the main fleet was quite close to the Huangpu River and attacked the fleets of various countries!
This fleet of countries can’t hold up. If only one artillery regiment and infantry can’t stand a fleet, but this fleet is improvised by several countries and doesn’t even have a unified commander to fight against the artillery regiment, but the Chinese fleet can’t hold up when dozens of cannons fire together from behind!
The main battleship of the Chinese fleet is now advanced, which is not inferior to that of the main British fleet. That’s for sure!
The artillery regiment of the first division of the Chinese fleet was attacked before and after, and the fleets of various countries were severely caught in the position of heavy artillery shells, naval artillery shells and western warships, and they were desperately saturated in the past!
There’s no place to hide from such close-fire western warships. There are shells everywhere!
Belgian warships are the weakest in the world. Seeing that the situation is not good, they immediately broke away from the battle sequence and tried to rush out of the Huangpu River into the vast East China Sea. With Belgian warships taking the lead, they also evacuated. Absolutely! The fire is too dense and so fierce that a group of Ukrainian warships can’t fight it!
Without the western fleet, the first division rushed into the sea smoothly!
Chapter one thousand and thirty-five Minister meeting unintelligent
Wuchang
In the foreign ministers’ ministries of western powers, there was an emergency consultation with Japanese minister Marison, who was lost at sea.
It’s important to lose his place, but the sea is different. It’s the largest port in China, and a quarter of the western countries’ trade depends on the seaport. The sea, Guangzhou, the south and the north occupy a third of the western countries’ trade with China, and even more, they have suffered heavy losses. What’s more, their fleets have been battered by the Chinese revolutionary army and suffered heavy casualties?
Ashley, the British envoy, is shouting, "No, we must never let the Chinese revolutionary army go so arrogant again. Now they have occupied the sea and caused us immeasurable economic losses. We must stop the Chinese revolutionary army even by force!"
French minister Jacques also cried, "Yes, we can never tolerate the Chinese tiger again!" Now that North China has banned all countries, it is good for China that we have suffered heavy losses. If the Chinese tiger reunites China, how can we dump our business in China? We will never allow a big country in Asia that can compete with European and American powers, and we must suppress it! "
The Italian minister hesitated, "Mr. Two Ministers, what you two said is easy to see. There are hundreds of thousands of Chinese tiger soldiers. It is absolutely certain that we will be able to win the battle if we fight. And even when we are transferred from the soil to China, we can’t finish it. You know, it will take a month for our main army to come to China from the soil at the earliest.
! Can Yuan Shikai survive another month? "
Jack, hate way "yuan shikai is also a waste at the end of the new army 20 town even ten division huaxia revolutionary army can’t stop it! In any case, we must hold on and maintain the status quo of China’s north-south separation! "
Dagerman, Minister of the Austro-Hungarian Empire, replied, "Everyone, the Chinese Revolutionary Army is already a spent force. It is not so terrible. They have a total of six regiments and ten reorganization divisions. Now the sixth regiment has lost its combat power because of Zhang Lin’s defection. Only 15 divisions remain. There are two divisions in Xinjiang and Gansu to stabilize the northwest situation. There are two divisions on the Mongolian Plateau to guard against the three northeastern provinces of Russia and one division to stay behind. The main force has been transferred to the south. At this time, we can arm a mature force to participate in the war quickly, which will definitely stabilize the situation.
Ashley, the British envoy, has a bright eye. Yes, this is not the time of the Geng Incident. At that time, the Chinese tiger didn’t defend the northwest and outer Mongolia, and he didn’t have more than 100,000 troops of Yuan Shikai. He confronted him, and he concentrated all his energy on the allied war. Naturally, the allied forces of various countries could compete. His sixth regiment has perished, and various regional defenses have attracted him a lot of troops. His mobile forces have now reached the extreme. Once again, the allied forces can completely defeat the Chinese Revolutionary Army!
Ashley looked around, and his eyes fell on the Japanese minister Marisheng.
Ashley sank, "Mr. Marison, I think the closest thing to China is that you can contain China’s forces. How about you? Are you interested in another game?"
"This …"
Ma Lisheng is hesitant not to watch Japan and the Netherlands make moves that are deadly and arrogant, but when it comes to fighting with Chinese tiger soldiers, most officers nowadays have some headaches. The Chinese Revolutionary Army is so annoying!
Ma Lisheng calculated and said, "Mr. Ashley, we’d like to participate in this war, but our people’s livelihood is depressed and the Dutch have just finished a war, and our finances have dried up. You know very well that we have the heart now …"
Ashley knows very well in his heart that fighting the Dutch is a long-term loan from the British government to Japan. Now, even if the money is not finished, it will be almost the same. If you want to fight again, you have to have money to buy arms and pay.
Ashley smiled and said, "Mr. Marison’s financial problem is not a problem. I can finish this matter mainly. If you dare to stop the offensive of the Chinese revolutionary army before the arrival of the British, French, Italian and Austrian Coalition forces, then our British empire can go to your country for a long-term loan, and the remaining half can be postponed until three years later to ensure that you have enough money to launch a war. I don’t think the British empire, the French empire and the Italian empire will sit idly by!"
Jack got up and said, "Yes, Mr. Marison wants you to dare to fight and expand the war in the three northeastern provinces of Taiwan Province, then we will provide your country with 10 million pounds of military assistance to fund your war!"
Ma Lisheng’s heart was shocked to hold back the Chinese tiger, so he gave half of the British loan and another 10 million pounds of military assistance to the empire!
Ten million pounds, that’s a lot of money, equivalent to one-third of today’s annual finance! And we have to reduce the long-term loan by half. If we remember correctly, the loan owed to Britain today is as high as 30 million pounds!
Half that’s 15 million pounds, and that’s half a year’s tax burden. The Japanese empire made a fortune!
Ma Lisheng replied in a trembling voice, "Mr. Ashley, Mr. Jack, I will return the news to China as soon as possible. I think our emperor Prime Minister Hiroshi Ito absolutely welcomes this proposal!"
Jack said, "well, since you think they will agree to our request, at least three divisions must be mobilized to fight in three days, and five to five divisions must be engaged in the war in half a month, so that we can be sure to completely repel the Chinese revolutionary army!"
Ashley replied, "well, Mr. Marison, before it’s too late, you should send a telegram to Prime Minister Ito Bowen and ask them to make a decision!" ~”
Marison nodded, bowed to the crowd and hurried back out. Of course, this good news will be told to the Emperor Prime Minister Ito at the first time.
In less than a few minutes, an urgent letter flew to Tokyo.
Chapter one thousand and thirty-six Command meeting
Japanese Emperor Ito Bowen and Yamagata Aritomo are discussing when Taiwan Province will become a soldier.
The confidential sent an urgent letter and said, "Minister Ma Lisheng of Wuchang, China is in a hurry!"
The Emperor Zhizhi personally took over the newspaper, and now the situation in China has got out of hand, and there is nothing anyone can do. If China sends a newspaper to cure the emperor, he will never fake others.
Emperor Zhiwen’s exhibition is overjoyed at the sight of his heart pounding!
Treat the emperor. "Good! OK! It’s really raining. When I was dozing off, Britain and France sent pillows. Ok, haha! "
Ito Bowen asked inexplicably, "What happened to you, Emperor? What news are you so happy about?"
Emperor Zhi handed the newspaper to Ito Bowen. "Now the situation in China is chaotic. Yuan Shikai’s government in South China is not an opponent of the Republic of China in China. Now it has been difficult for the Chinese Revolutionary Army to occupy Britain, France and other European and American powers. It is hard to keep all kinds of characteristics of the South China Concession. It is too far away to fight. We want to send people to repel the invasion of South China by the Chinese Revolutionary Army. We are worried that there is no place to raise funds. The British and French powers have sent us 10 million pounds of military aid in one breath. This is military aid that we can’t repay. Haha, this is not
Ito Bowen Yamagata Aritomo has finished reading the newspaper at this time, and he is not beaming. This is a big pie falling from the sky, so we must seize the opportunity!
Ito Bowen said with a smile, "Fortunately, there is a divine providence. With this fund, the British Empire will halve their loans. Then we will have no worries about starting a war. While the Chinese tiger is now overwhelmed, we should first send troops to Taiwan Province to defeat Jiang Baili’s first division and occupy Taiwan Province, and then adjust our troops to North Korea to prepare for the Yalu River to occupy the three northeastern provinces in one fell swoop. Who will we be afraid of in the future?"
Yamagata Aritomo also nodded. "Ito Jun said that it makes sense that Britain and France will send an army to China after a month with the support of the great powers. We have a solid backing. Even if the Chinese revolutionary army is wiped out in one fell swoop, it is not impossible. If the Republic of China is finished, how can we stop the Japanese Empire from occupying the whole China?"
Cure the emperor cried, "that’s good, immediately find Li Jian Shang Wen to see me!" Discuss our one-step plan! "
About an hour later, Li Jian Shangwen hurried to the Imperial Palace.
Li Jian saw that Shang Wen had met Emperor Zhi and asked, "You called me here in a hurry. I don’t know what the orders are?"
Emperor Zhi handed the newspaper to Li Jian Shangwen and said, "Li Jian Jun’s problems in our army can be said to have been solved. With British and French military assistance, Zhang Yi’s spare time is now the best opportunity for us to expand the war and invade the three northeastern provinces and occupy the whole of Taiwan Province. This time, my Prime Minister and Shanxian Jun called you here to ask whether we should plan this war to achieve the greatest results!"
Li Jian Shang Wen was delighted after reading the newspaper, then calmed down and said, "Prime Minister, are we really going to wage a war against China?"
Emperor Zhi nodded and said, "See you now. This may be our only chance! Don’t you think so? "
Li Jian Shang Wen said with a wry smile, "It’s true that even if British and French military assistance is available, even if we don’t worry that the army wants to invade China, it’s not possible!"
Emperor Zhi was stunned and said, "I don’t care if I meet you immediately. Do you mean that such a good opportunity still won’t work?"
Li Jian Shang Wen sighed and said, "It’s easy to invade China, but it’s hard to occupy China."? Your Prime Minister, Jun Shanxian, saw Zhang Yi’s inability to be two places at once, but didn’t think that Zhang Yi would get it so little? At the beginning, the Anglo-French Coalition forces added more days and the Russian general attack sent 3 00000 troops to invade China, but they still failed. Now that the generals of the Chinese Revolutionary Army are more mature and more difficult to deal with, do we have a great chance of winning if we want to expand the war against China? "
Ito Bowen replied, "It’s too pessimistic to see you. If Britain and France don’t rule out troops coming to China, I admit that our military operation will be a bit risky, but it won’t take long for the British and French allied forces to arrive in China, and the minimum scale will not exceed one and a half months at most, and it will not be less than 100,000 people. Are we not sure yet that the British and French allied forces will join us? Do you think too much of the Chinese Tiger and Huaxia Revolutionary Army? "
Li Jian Shang Wen sighed, "Prime Minister, the first British and French countries, especially the United Kingdom, absolutely forbid us to annex China and China, which has tens of millions of square kilometers of land. What’s the difference between a rising China once it is occupied by us? Britain’s balanced policy absolutely does not allow Asia to emerge as a world-class power! Second, it will take a month for the British and the French to arrive in China. Do you think we can attract the Chinese revolutionary army and save the crumbling Yuan Shikai? If the Republic of China solves Yuan Shikai’s main force, it will be a big deal to turn around and deal with us. He will solve our foreign invasion first, and then the stability department will be able to complete it. By then, 200,000 to 300,000 elite Chinese revolutionary troops will not be able to compete with our imperial army! Third, you have neglected China’s powerful war potential. Even before the arrival of the British and French allied forces, the Chinese Revolutionary Army did not destroy Yuan Shikai’s main force. Won’t he recruit soldiers? Don’t forget that the Republic of China is now implementing a reserve military system. Zhang Yi is willing to set up three to five divisions at any time. Even if it is set up to ten divisions, it may not be difficult to live in China. Think about the huge population base of China! "
Three people are all a little silent. It doesn’t make sense to see that Shang Wen said it, but * * is the most difficult to contain. Once it breeds, is it difficult to press it again?
Emperor Zhi was silent for a moment and said firmly, "Anyway, this is our few chances, maybe it is the last chance. If we don’t try, maybe we will never have a chance. I decided to fight!"
Chapter one thousand and thirty-seven Repairing the plank road is dark
A few people around me were silent. This decision to rule the emperor has been made, so there is no change. It is possible to rule the emperor and the spiritual leader of the Japanese empire will build Japan into a standard power. In the first 20 years, it can be said that it was smooth sailing and brought great help to Japan’s development.
The ministers are used to following the emperor’s decision to rule now, and everyone has to follow suit. Even worse, Ito Bowen and Yamagata Aritomo tend to face each other!
See Shangwen silence for a moment and then sighed and said, "Since you insist on part, I have tried my best to make your counselor’s plan …"
The emperor sneered "strategy? Yes, this is what you are best at. I hope you can come up with a plan that will make our eyes shine. This time, we must teach the Chinese tiger a lesson! He has brought more pain and shame to our empire in the past decade or so. If this shame can’t wash away our empire, the world will never hold its head! "
Li Jian Shang Wenshen said, "We all need to think rationally about everything. National actions are all about building national interests. If our war can’t bring benefits to the country, Yamato and the nation, it’s better not to launch it. First of all, we must recognize how to launch a war to meet our interests and needs to the greatest extent; What is our primary goal in the second war! "
See Shang Wen immediately, and then say, "We are going to wage war this time. The purpose of this war is definitely not to defeat the Chinese Republic and occupy the vast territory of China! Listen clearly, at this stage, we don’t have the strength to annex China. A snake swallowing an elephant has a field, and that is being strangled! At the same time, I also said just now that the British and the French will never allow us to occupy China face to face. They know very well that it is more reassuring for a China to hold the hands of China than the Japanese! "
"So our problem comes! What is the most important problem we need to solve in launching this war? What is our most urgent need to be satisfied? "
Ito Hiroshi asked, "Li Jianjun, there is some truth in what you said, but I don’t know what kind of plan you want to launch in this war. You don’t want these words to discourage everyone from invading China, do you?"
