Korea can be said to be the first colony of the Republic of China. Under the joint attack of the Japanese army and the Peking Army, the Korean aborigines ran to death and there were very few left. Now the entire territory of Korea is a part of the Republic of China.
The residents of the special zone are all colonists who immigrated from the Shaanxi and Shanxi areas, and there are as many as 700,000 residents.
These immigrants are mainly engaged in mining and logging, and the planting industry is also doing quite well. Last year, they restored production in many wastelands and basically achieved self-sufficiency in food. However, the graphite produced in large quantities in North Korea has important uses in the metallurgical industry, so it has been
With the support of the central government, the local area has developed well. A railway has even been built directly to the iron ore area in northern North Korea to transport the produced iron ore, graphite ore and other ores to the Liaoyang Iron and Steel Plant to expand production.
As a mineral treasure land, Wan Lei has always attached great importance to the development of North Korea, and has long planned to go there for inspection. This time, taking advantage of the war against Japan, he went to North Korea to inspect the pioneers in North Korea, and encouraged them to overcome difficulties and work hard.
Build a new home.
Compared with the bitter cold of Liaodong, North Korea's climate is pretty good. Although winters in northern North Korea are also very cold, the southern region is still relatively livable and can even grow rice. Eighty percent of the food in the North Korean Special Administrative Region is produced in
South.
With a population of only 700,000, North Korea as a whole is vast and sparsely populated. Each person has no less than 50 acres of cultivated land, and all of it was reclaimed by the Korean aborigines. Irrigation is very convenient, and the river valleys with good harvests do not have to go into the mountains.
Lao Lin went to open up wasteland.
There are many minerals, the land is fertile, and there is a lot of game in the mountains and forests. The immigrants in North Korea naturally live a good life, and the housing conditions are also very good. The people here all live together in towns like the residents of Beiping Province. They only live in the production season.
If you just leave the city to work, you can be considered a city dweller.
North Korea has a high level of urbanization, and education is naturally very developed like Beiping Province. Every small town has a primary school, and there are middle schools in big cities such as Pyongyang, Hanyang, and Busan. Primary and secondary education is available to almost every teenager.
There are many students with excellent academic performance who are lucky enough to be admitted to Peking University.
The economy, education, culture and other aspects have all been fully integrated with the Republic of China. On the occasion of Wan Lei's eastward tour, officials at all levels and business representatives of the North Korean Special Administrative Region unanimously petitioned the President, hoping that North Korea would remove the title of the special zone.
, and as a normal province of the Republic of China.
North Korea is willing to change the special zone into a province. This is not beyond Wan Lei's expectation. North Korea is called a special zone mainly because it still implements military control and is not a regular province. North Korean immigrants urgently need to communicate with the internal affairs.
All provinces in mainland China sit on an equal footing and share rights and responsibilities. This is also a manifestation of citizenization.
Wan Lei did not reject this request. He just said that he would wait two years until the next presidential election before submitting the proposal to Congress for review and approval. Although the establishment of the province would have to be postponed for two years, local officials and
Scholars and businessmen are still rejoicing. Wherever President Wan Da goes, he always receives the warmest welcome from the residents.
On February 15th, Wan Lei left Hanyang City and headed south to Busan. A month ago, the Navy's Second Fleet began to assemble along the coasts of Shandong and North Korea. Now the warships are basically there, ready to use troops against the Japanese coast.
.
According to the plan of the Military Commission, the navy's use of troops against Japan this time was mainly to annihilate Japanese ships and destroy Japanese harbors. Therefore, each warship was equipped with heavy artillery and loaded with new bombs. The firepower was fierce enough to destroy Japanese ships.
The shogunate was frightened.
On February 22nd, Wan Lei arrived in Busan. Busan City faces the Korean Strait to the south and faces Tsushima Island across the sea. It has always been a major port for North Korea's trade with Japan. Now Japan has implemented a closed-door policy that is hostile to the Republic of China, and trade with Japan has been interrupted.
, Busan Port is in decline, and its economic status is not as important as Tsushima Island.
However, this situation will soon become a thing of the past. Wan Lei is confident that after the navy uses large-scale troops against Japan this time, Kyushu Island and Shikoku Island of Japan will be separated from Honshu Island, and separatist forces opposed to the Muromachi Shogunate will be fostered.
, those forces will turn the Republic of China on and off, maritime trade will soon rise, and the Port of Busan will flourish again.
On February 23, Wan Lei issued a presidential decree declaring war on Japan, and a naval battle began. Facing the surging Peking Navy fleet, the Japanese shogunate had already received the news and dispatched his own troops.
The fleet came to fight, and hundreds of thousands of Japanese soldiers were recruited from various places to set up defenses along the coast to prevent the Peking Army from landing on the beach.
In fact, neither the Japanese shogunate Ashikaga Yoshimichi nor the small Japanese soldiers below took the invading Peking Army seriously, and even clamored to destroy the invading Peiping Army. However, their arrogance
It's Arihara
Therefore, more than a hundred years ago, the extremely powerful Mongols attacked the Japanese twice and were defeated both times. This made the Japanese people inflated in self-confidence, believing that their Amaterasu would always protect them and would send down gods.
The wind swept away the incoming enemies.
Amid the clamor of the Japanese army, the Second Fleet of the Peking Army Navy completed its deployment as quickly as possible. The commander of the Second Fleet, Gao Ruhai, led the main fleet to attack the Japanese fleet that was arrayed on the Korean Strait to meet the enemy.
A smaller ship
Under the leadership of two division commanders, the team bypassed Kyushu Island from the south, assaulted into the Seto Inland Sea from the south and north of Shikoku Island, and took over each strait in one fell swoop, cutting off Kitakyushu, Shikoku Island and Honshu Island.
contact.
On February 24, the main force of the Second Fleet met the Japanese fleet in the waters near Yiqi Island. The so-called enemies were on a narrow road, and the two sides started fighting without saying a word. Gao Ruhai ordered the warships to line up and bombard the Japanese ships.
The equipment was obviously inferior to that of the Peiping Army by several levels, so they could only rush forward desperately in the hope of engaging in a ship-to-ship battle.
The Japanese navy used the desperate Saburo style of play, but Gao Ruhai did not give them any chance. The main battleship of the second fleet was a Xia-class warship, equipped with a fire-driven turbine. Whether it was moving forward or retreating, its speed was faster than that of the Japanese navy.
The sailing ship is fast.
No, after the second fleet launched a bombardment, the entire army began to retreat, distanced itself from the Japanese army, and launched another artillery bombardment. The Japanese army saw that they could not catch up with them, and they were tortured by their artillery. Their morale was in a straight line.
After falling, they had to retreat. As soon as the Japanese army retreated, Gao Ruhai ordered a pursuit and followed the Japanese army with a fierce bombardment.
This style of fighting, in which the enemy advances and we retreat while the enemy retreats, we advance, made the Japanese army very angry, but they were helpless. Who told their warships to have speed but not speed, and to have artillery but not cannons?
I can only be abused without any discussion.
The battle was one-sided from the beginning. This was not a war at all, but a massacre. The Japanese generals saw that there was no chance of winning and they could not even run. They were almost desperate. Some even had low psychological endurance and could not bear it.
In such a cowardly defeat, he even took out his sword and committed seppuku.
The battle lasted from noon to evening. There was no doubt that the Second Fleet had achieved a complete victory. The sea was full of broken planks of Japanese warships. Many Japanese soldiers sank into the sea and fed the bastards. Only a few
Several warships ran too fast, and some Japanese generals
They managed to save their lives, but after witnessing this crazy ship-killing battle, they were all frightened and did not dare to go to sea to fight. In the second battle, the Japanese also lost hundreds of large and small warships.
Almost all the people in power have been wiped out, and Japan's coastal defenses have been swept away.
On February 25th, the news of the defeat of the navy reached the ears of the shogunate Ashikaga Yoshinori. He was completely furious and ordered the army to assemble along the coast. He also recruited the Japanese people along the coast to repair coastal defense fortifications. He used his edict to
To put it bluntly, even if the whole country is in pieces, we must strictly prevent the Peking Army from landing.
However, Ashikaga Yoshitomichi's jade-shattering order had no effect at all. After the main force of the Second Fleet achieved a great victory, it concentrated its forces eastward and entered the Kanmon Strait, directly cutting off Kyushu Island and Honshu Island.
They kept firing artillery to bombard the ports and towns on both sides of the strait, but they did not land, leaving the Japanese troops preparing for war on both sides of the strait confused but helpless.
Even if they don't log in, you won't be able to fight if you want to.
