"Master General, Beijing calls. Japanese Prime Minister Hirobuki Ito has officially rejected the conditions we proposed during the negotiations this morning. However, Britain, France and other countries do not agree with the actions we are about to punish Japan!" Wang Wei said that he would not agree with the actions we are about to punish Japan!"
Reported to Wang Yuze. At the same time, the telegram sent from Beijing was handed over to Wang Yuze.
Wang Yuze took the telegram and browsed it. He was still very satisfied with the conditions for Japan proposed by Liang Xingrong and others. The main six requirements basically met his intentions. Especially in terms of war reparations, he originally thought that he could get from Japan at most.
The man got 100 million pounds, but he didn't expect that the final figure was 200 million pounds. 200 million pounds, which is 800 million taels of silver, which is the 800 million yuan of Huayuan used in western Sichuan now. The battleship built in western Sichuan was
, only three million per ship, 800 million yuan, is enough to build a world-class army and navy in western Sichuan.
"Hmph! Little Japan is shameless. Wang Wei asked Chief of Staff Xiong and Minister Zhang of the Navy to come to see me!" Wang Yuze said. Since the Japanese refused the request, then they could only use force to force them to accept it.
This is the condition. The Chinese navy is now outside Japan and can launch an attack on Japan at any time. Before, it was just because of the sincerity of negotiations that all Chinese navies stopped shelling Japanese coastal cities.
"Okay, I'll arrange someone to invite them right away!" Wang Wei said.
Soon, Xiong Wu and Zhang Cheng rushed to Wang Yuze's study. With the end of the war, the army had begun to adjust the national defense, and the navy was preparing the next batch of shipbuilding plans. With China
Cutting a large piece of meat from Japan will definitely get a lot of benefits, both the navy and the army. However, the army's strength is already millions, and this force is enough before a large-scale war breaks out.
What the General Staff Headquarters now needs to divide the defense zones and form a group army according to the defense zone. At the same time, further strengthen the weapons and equipment of the powerful troops, and speed up the training of soldiers, so that the army has more powerful combat power. In terms of the Navy, in the second place
After the completion of the batch of heavy cruisers and the fourth batch of light cruisers, dozens of destroyers will be built to patrol China's huge sea areas. At the same time, the next-level battleship and cruisers will be designed. In particular, the main ships, China's previous
All battleships were introduced from Germany and Britain, and they had to be designed and built by themselves, which was difficult. However, no matter how many difficulties there were, they had to be overcome. If you could not build a powerful battleship on your own, China would never be able to become a real world.
Strong country.
"Master, is it because Beijing's negotiations have progressed in such a hurry?" Xiong Wu said. Although they have been busy with military affairs recently, they are also very concerned about the Sino-Japanese negotiations held in Beijing. Wang Yuze once promised
Then, all the war reparations obtained from negotiations against Japan will be used to develop arms and improve the treatment of soldiers, which makes them worry!
"There has been some progress. Prime Minister Liang put forward six specific requirements: First, Japan admits defeat and apologizes to China! Second, Japan compensates China for war reparations and losses of the country and people of 200 million pounds! Third,
Japan ceded the Togala Islands, Osumi Islands, Ogasawara Islands, Hachijo Island and other islands to China! Fourth, Japan must release the Ryukyu King Shangtai. Ryukyu has always been a vassal state of China, so how can Japan be occupied? Fifth, the Japanese army withdrew
Liaodong Peninsula and Korean Peninsula. Sixth, Nagasaki, Hiroshima, Osaka, Nagoya and Yokohama are trading ports, and the Chinese want extraterritorial legal powers at these trading ports. Prime Minister Liang and the other great powers have reached an agreement on these conditions, but in
During the morning negotiations, Japanese Prime Minister Hirobuki Ito formally rejected these requests!" Wang Yuze said.
"What? Are these little Japanese still not giving up? Grandmaster, I suggest that the army act immediately and solve all the more than 200,000 Japanese troops in Liaodong and North Korea!" Xiong Wu said immediately. Although there are still twenty Japanese troops in these Japanese troops.
But in the absence of food and clothing and ammunition supply, they are no match for the Chinese Army at all. The previous Shanhaiguan War had already consumed almost all their ammunition reserves. Now the Japanese army is,
In the eyes of the army generals, they are completely a piece of fat that represents military achievements!
"Master, the navy is ready. Now the coastal cities in southern Japan have been almost destroyed by us. If it weren't for the sincerity of negotiations, we would have launched an attack on Tokyo Bay long ago. Master, as long as we have
If you give an order, the Navy will immediately knock on the gate of Tokyo Bay, bombard Tokyo, and kill all the Japanese emperors!" said Zhang Cheng, the Minister of the Navy. Although the Japanese army has been deploying the defense of Tokyo Bay these days, they have lost it.
After the joint fleet, the Japanese Navy's defense was very weak. Even Yokosuka, Japan's largest naval base, could not resist the attack of the Chinese Navy.
"Very good. Order the army and navy to start operations tomorrow. The army encircled and annihilated the Japanese army on the Liaodong Peninsula and North Korea's Japanese army. The navy attacked Tokyo Bay and let the little Japanese know how powerful we are. By the way, when shelling Tokyo, special shells can be used.
!” Wang Yuze said.
"Yes, Grandmaster!" Zhang Cheng nodded. The so-called special shell is a high-explosive bomb with some phosphorus powder added. After the thing explodes, it will throw flames around, and once this flame is touched by the body, it will cause flames to spread around it.
, it cannot be extinguished, and can only be burned to death. For cities like Tokyo, where most houses are made of wooden houses, it is also the best arson tool. As for what consequences the Japanese will suffer,
Not considered at all.
After Xiong Wu and Zhang Cheng accepted the order, they immediately went down to deploy. After the two of them left, Wang Yuze fell into deep thought. After this battle, Japan would be greatly damaged. Even with the support of the great powers, they would probably have to.
It will only pose a threat to China after a few years. China can benefit from the past few years and develop vigorously. Now the second industrial ** has begun. Western Sichuan has begun to apply electricity and internal combustion engines on a large scale.
The development has also made breakthrough development, and China will use the second industrial capital to develop rapidly. With China's huge market and investment in technology, it may not lose to the United States.
If China wants to rise, the United States is undoubtedly the biggest enemy. Even if the United States does not pose a threat to China now, it is because the United States has not focused on expanding its arms and expanding its external forces. Once China rises, it will compete for the Pacific.
For interests, China will inevitably have serious conflicts of interest with the United States.
Wang Yuze came to the front of the world map hanging on the wall, and his eyes fell on the vast Pacific Ocean. From the South China Sea to the east, it was the Spanish colony of the Philippines. From the east, it was also the Spanish colony of Guam and the Mariana Islands.
To the northeast, the Hawaiian Islands are located. This place is only less than 4,000 kilometers away from the United States. If it is to pose a threat to the United States, it is very necessary to take down Hawaii. Wang Yuze began to think in his mind, and he remembered last year
At that time, the last queen of Hawaii was forced to abdicate. Now Hawaii, under the rule of the American-controlled Republic of Hawaii, did not merge with the United States until 1898 and became the fiftieth state of the United States.
During this period, will China do something to snatch Hawaii from the hands of the United States and lay a nail in the central Pacific? In this way, if the United States wants to compete with China for the interests of the Pacific, it must first
It is only necessary to conquer China's base in Hawaii. However, it is hard to say whether it is right or wrong to stimulate the United States too early and shift its energy from developing its economy to developing its arms. As for the Philippines, Guam and Mariana Islands, the American-American Wars
After the outbreak, China just took the opportunity to snatch these places from Spain.
To accomplish these, you must have a strong navy. Then, in the next few years, the navy will become the target of China's key development.
On the afternoon of June 12, the Japanese side also learned about the conditions proposed by China during the Sino-Japanese negotiations. The Japanese Meiji Emperor fainted on the spot, and Army Minister Oyama Iwai even accused Prime Minister Hirofumi Ito and Foreign Minister Muro Omoto for losing power and humiliating the country.
He and Navy Minister Saigo Congdao blame each other again, and a fierce quarrel broke out.
However, in the end, they all reached an agreement, that is, to reject the harsh conditions put forward by China and never compromise with China.
They didn't know that at this time, the huge fleet of the Chinese Navy had begun to advance towards Tokyo Bay. The "Xikang" and other warships returned to the team after completing their support to the Shanhaiguan Army, which once again gained combat power in the Chinese Navy.
To fight for strength, they will launch a fatal blow to Japan.
"How long will it take to get to Tokyo Bay?" Deng Shichang asked on the bridge of the "Sichuan". Even though he pretended to be calm, his trembling voice still exposed his inner excitement. Tokyo Bay, Tokyo,
The capital of Japan. They are going to bombard Tokyo, which is a huge honor for them!
"Commander, we have passed the Izu Peninsula. At the current speed, we will be able to reach Tokyo Bay in 16 hours." The captain of the "Sichuan" replied.
"Well! I'll go and take a break, and call me when I arrive! In addition, order the fleet to defend against Japanese torpedo boats and attack Tokyo Bay after dawn tomorrow morning!" Deng Shichang ordered.
"yes!"
Among the Japanese Navy, only dozens of torpedo boats are left with a certain threat to the Chinese Navy, but as long as the Chinese Navy is careful, it can easily deal with them!
