Six hundred and seventieth chapters the smoke dissipated
Aston and Zhang Tinglan had been handed over to each other many times. When he saw his expression, he felt something was wrong. When the two soldiers carried the things over, he looked confused.
"What on earth is this, and what does it mean for me to see this?"
Zhang Tinglan smiled slightly: "This is the most advanced sonar equipment in the world. It can detect traces of submarines within a few kilometers. It is said that there are not many countries that can produce this thing. Mr. Minister, you want to know who we are?"
Where did you get it?"
As soon as Aston heard this, his eyes suddenly widened, and he suddenly shouted in his heart that it was not good. Britain provided help to Japan and let the Japanese deal with Fengjun's naval base. Aston knew this kind of thing, but
Exactly what was given to him, Eston didn't know. As soon as he saw the sonar in front of him, his eyes showed great fear.
Damn Japan, that stupid pig, let Feng Jun get the hang of it. It’s so stupid, so stupid!
He couldn't stop cursing the Japanese, but on the surface, Aston remained extremely calm and said with a smile: "Could it be that China has broken through the technical difficulties and produced such world-advanced equipment? I want to congratulate you."
?”
Zhang Tinglan smiled slightly: "Mr. Minister, we haven't been able to produce it yet, but we will soon have it, because after I got this thing, I immediately asked the military factory to study how to imitate it. You also know that although we have submarines, but in
There are still big deficiencies in anti-submarine technology, but if we can successfully imitate the world's most advanced sonar, we will suddenly take a big step forward."
Zhang Tinglan was probably the only one who could talk about copycats so confidently and to the person involved. Ashton's face suddenly became excited. His expression changed a few times, but he didn't know what to say.
"Open the skylight and speak frankly. We captured a wounded warship and found most of the British equipment on it. Although the English markings were intentionally removed, some remnants could still be found. We have reason to believe that the British secretly sabotaged it.
Neutral and provided anti-submarine ships to the Japanese."
"No!" Eston retorted immediately. Just kidding, how could the UK admit such a slap in the face?
"The British Empire would never do such a thing. I think the tour guide must have misunderstood. Japan also has a strong technical level, and there are indeed some technical exchanges between Britain and Japan. Maybe Japan purchased some British parts.
No matter what, the British government’s neutral stance will not change in any way!”
"Okay, I am also willing to believe the British position. Fengjun has dispatched two groups of bombers to Shandong. We will bomb the Nagato docked at the port. This warship with many crimes must be sent to the bottom of the sea."
"no!"
Aston was frightened again. He came to Zhang Tinglan just to keep the Nagato. After all, the Japanese had promised benefits that the British could not refuse. Who knew that Zhang Tinglan was planning to blow up the Nagato? How could he
Agree.
"Weihaiwei is under the rule of the imperial government. If the empire allows you to bomb the Nagato, it will be equivalent to breaking the neutral position."
"Neutral?" Zhang Tinglan said with a sneer: "From the moment you took in the Nagato, there has been no neutrality. Japanese warships can enter, and our fighter planes can also enter. If Britain insists on having double standards,
, I’m afraid it will be detrimental to the UK internationally.”
Listening to Zhang Tinglan's words, a layer of fine beads of sweat appeared on Aston's forehead. Indeed, Britain was in an unprecedented passivity at this time. In the final analysis, it was the Japanese who were smart and did not destroy Huludao, but instead succeeded.
It broke the blood and left the evidence in China's hands, which is simply terrible.
"Your Excellency, Patrol Ambassador, large-scale bombing will definitely hurt innocent people. I hope you can postpone it for 24 hours to allow other ships to evacuate Weihaiwei."
"Other ships have evacuated, so the Nagato has also escaped. What if the Japanese fleet comes to assist in one day?" Zhang Tinglan said: "To be honest, I have ordered the submarine to go to Weihaiwei to lay mines and seal the port.
If I die, the bombers will arrive in Shandong immediately, and the Nagato is in my hands and can be sunk at any time!"
Upon hearing this, the color on Aston's face changed completely. He couldn't help but ask: "Your Excellency, the patrol envoy, the Nagato has an unparalleled status in Japan. Once it is sunk, what will happen between you and Japan?"
, the only choice is to fight to the death, do you really want to see the peace in the Far East completely destroyed?"
"Peace is not something you can ask for, otherwise the UK would not have been fighting Germany for more than four years. If Japan has no sincerity in peace talks and wants to continue to use force to oppress us, it will have no choice but to fight to the end."
Zhang Tinglan's tone was strong, but he didn't mean it, so Aston hurriedly asked: "If Japan can show sincerity in negotiations, is there still a chance to recover?"
Zhang Tinglan said with a smile: "Indeed, I can let the Nagato go, but on the issues of North Korea and Luda, Japan must make substantial concessions, and I hope that China and Britain will also hold consultations to eliminate misunderstandings."
Aston also knew that the handle was in Zhang Tinglan's hand and now was not the time to refuse, so he nodded without hesitation.
"I will contact you right away, Your Majesty the Inspector. I hope you will put peace first!"
…
On the vast sea, a merchant ship was exploding and on fire. The large amount of fuel carried on it was all ignited. The entire ship was like a huge lighthouse, burning continuously on the sea.
Not far away, a periscope was floating on the water. The underwater soldiers were admiring the thick flames through the periscope. Many sailors were struggling back and forth in the fire. Their bodies were covered with flames and they could only
They jumped into the sea and struggled desperately, and some were directly burned to death on the boat, which was extremely miserable.
This is just an ordinary scene at sea, from the Tsushima Strait in Korea, even to the Japanese, all the way south to Okinawa, and even the Taiwan Strait. This water area was originally owned by the Japanese, with merchant ships going back and forth to bring back supplies from the colonies.
Japan domestically supplies this barren island nation.
But since their sneak attack on Huludao, Fengjun's submarines have launched crazy retaliation against Japanese merchant ships. Not only Japanese ships, but also other ships determined to transport supplies to Japan have also been attacked. This is what is called
Unrestricted submarine warfare, regardless of nationality, you can't run away when you encounter one.
Originally, the West could jump out and make accusations, but the British violated the principle of neutrality and allowed Feng Jun to catch the death certificate. They did not dare to break up. After all, they started a war of words and they were in the wrong first. Therefore, the British could only fight desperately.
asked ships not to transport supplies to Japan.
On the one hand, Fengjun continued to bleed the Japanese with unrestricted submarine warfare, and on the other hand, he blocked the Nagato in Weihaiwei and became a hostage in Fengjun's hands. All of a sudden, the Japanese were placed in the most disadvantageous position.
, they had to lower their heads at the negotiation table and began to make substantial concessions.
"Captain, just being in the Tsushima Strait is not interesting. It's better to go to Tokyo Bay. I heard that it is the heart of the Japanese and has the most ships. If we can sink a few ships, even their emperor will sleep.
I can’t sleep anymore.”
When Chen Shaokuan heard this, he was particularly tempted. They sank a total of three merchant ships in five days at sea. The results were not brilliant, but they were still unwilling to give up.
However, he still waved his hand and gave up the tempting idea: "The headquarters has issued an order. The peace talks with the Japanese are about to be reached. It's time for us to go back."
"What are you talking about? Let's just keep fighting the Japanese. If these little devils don't surrender, we won't let them go!"
"Yes, we haven't fought enough yet. If we go back now, we don't know when we will have another chance." The second officer also complained.
Chen Shaokuan's face sank: "Soldiers take obedience as their bounden duty. We must abide by the command of the headquarters. But I think there will be a chance sooner or later. There is only a temporary truce between us and the Japanese until both sides are ready.
Sooner or later there will be a life-and-death battle. As long as you practice your skills well, you won't have to worry about not showing off your skills."
Just as Fengjun's submarines were returning one after another, the peace talks between China and Japan were at their final stage. The Japanese agreed to unconditionally return the South Manchuria Railway and the Luda area, and Fengjun also specifically requested that they not be allowed to blow up Luda.
of factory facilities.
Fengjun bombed North Korea all over. If Japan followed suit and bombed Luda University, Zhang Tinglan would definitely cry. Of course, this is not because Fengjun was unreasonable, but because the Japanese refused to pay compensation, Fengjun had to
Instead, Luda's factory facilities were used to offset the compensation.
During World War I, the Japanese not only repaid the huge loans they had received, but also became a creditor country and borrowed billions of yen. However, after the intervention in the Russian war and this contest with the Fengjun, they once again became
Although the debt of the debtor country is less than 200 million yuan, it also marks the end of Japan's good days after the war.
As an island country with few resources, Japan will find it difficult to pay off its debts. This is equivalent to a shackles on their backs in a race against Fengjun, hoping to surpass China in speed.
It is simply bound to reach the sky.
In addition, regarding North Korea, China initially proposed to use the Line of Actual Control as the boundary to divide Sino-Japanese forces. However, it was firmly opposed by Japan. If it agreed to this condition, it would be equivalent to giving half of North Korea to the Fengjun Army, which has the most resources.
How could the Japanese agree to the rich half of Korea? Not even the British would agree.
In fact, Fengjun did not want to take so much. In the end, after a fierce quarrel, the Japanese reluctantly agreed to hand over the area north of Chongjin and North Hamgyong Province to Fengjun. In addition, Sinuiju was established as a free city. Both China and Japan
Can trade freely.
After this condition was met, Zhang Tinglan was also elated, because in the cut-off land, there was Asia's largest open-pit iron mine - Maoshan Iron Mine!
Three billion tons of reserves is like a big pie falling from the sky. It made Zhang Tinglan a little dizzy! (To be continued. If you like this work, you are welcome to come to Qidian.com to vote for recommendations and monthly votes. Your support is
