Chapter 267: The end of the fake Manchurian
"The Sino-Japanese War of 1894-1895" is the evaluation of most newspapers on this Dadonggou naval battle.
The Japanese have no say in the international community now, so they have to let the Nanjing government’s pens say it casually - they are always defeated in the military, and weak is the original sin.
Because the Pacific Fleet was completely wiped out, the US jumped out unwillingly and accused the Nanjing government's central naval naval prisoners of killing the Japanese joint fleet. Of course, the US refers to the blonde and blue-eyed foreign prisoners in the joint fleet. Because according to the regulations of the US Navy, it is no big deal to lose and surrender.
However, after the war, the Nanjing government widely publicized in newspapers that the Japanese Navy of the Joint Fleet was unwilling to accept rescue and was wiped out. The US would definitely not believe this. Afterwards, the US sent a ship to the war waters to take a look. Some of the corpses on the sea that were robbed by sharks on the sea had gun holes on the part of the corpse.
The Nanjing government said that there was no such thing as this, and these people committed suicide. The US imperialists took out a photo and asked the Nanjing government: "Why is there a reason to commit suicide by 19 shots? Five of them hit the key points."
When the Nanjing government thought that he had not taken the blame for the Navy, he changed his subject and talked about the "Chinese Exclusion Act" in a certain state of the United States in the newspaper. It also pointed out that this racial discrimination bill is still in place. The implication is that we have a grudge against you and have no obligation to answer your questions.
Because the US lost most of the ships of the Pacific Fleet, it was unable to intimidate the Nanjing government, and the matter was finally left unresolved. However, there were still some small moves, which were to invite several people from the Beiyang government to write "Astonishment of Affection" in the concession newspapers. These Beiyang periods now lost their errands and income because of the rise of the Nanjing government, and even their villas and mistresses could not afford to support their villas and students. Naturally, they had no good feelings for the Nanjing government. They hit it off with the US and criticized all kinds of illegal things in the newspaper.
For a regime, except for a few people who are not corrupted by power, there are actually few saints. However, there are always exceptions, such as Duan Qirui in the Beiyang period, Lin Sen, the president of the Nanjing government, Bao Zheng in the Song Dynasty, and Hai Rui in the Ming Dynasty. These people are impeccable in their lifestyles.
As for the current head of state, Lin Sen, who usually wears a long robe and jacket, has a childish face, drooping silver beard, a cane, and a pair of glasses. If others don’t say it, those who see this person will only think that he is a knowledgeable and well-educated kind old man. However, after the Nanjing government annexed Eastern Russia, the kind old man in the eyes of ordinary people has jumped to the highest head of the world’s largest country in one fell swoop.
Lin Sen, the highest head of the world's largest country, lost his wife and refused to renew his marriage. He had no children and did not buy property. He only liked antiques, gold and stone, but because he was not greedy and could not afford genuine products, he was willing to buy fakes worth three to five yuan to collect. Politically, Lin Sen was governing inaction. Simply put, it was three things, no opinions, no banquets, and no notes. This is the case for the perfect person for all ages.
Since Principal Jiang was forced to step down once, he found that he would be attacked by all opponents when he stood on the surface. After seeing this, the principal who came to power again, he was willing to serve as the chairman of the military and placed Lin Sen, the Buddha who only received incense and was not in charge of the matter. The two of them cooperated very well, one hard and the other soft.
Lin Sen himself is the founding Senate president of the Xingzhonghui, Tongmenghui and the Kuomintang. No one dares to say anything when he sits in this position. After all, the Chinese people still pay attention to seniority.
Because of this perfect man in the ages, Principal Jiang was in the limelight because of the military victory. The pens the American imperialists found in the concession could only attack some small fish and shrimp. The principals of these people never took them seriously. After reading the newspaper, they asked Dai Li to check if it was true. If it was not written randomly, what should we do?
The biggest fish caught by this group of pens is the current Premier Kong Xiangxi. The US Intelligence Bureau has obtained some evidence of Kong Xiangxi's use of power for personal gain and handed it over to several concessions to publish it in newspapers. Kong Xiangxi's reputation is very bad, and the Premier cannot do it anymore, so he can only resign as the Premier to concentrate on arms and import and export trade with foreign countries.
But the Premier always needs someone to do it. The president thought that he had to promote the Legislative Yuan, Sun Ke. The former Prime Minister, had to take into account the reputation of his father, so he naturally did not dare to use his power for personal gain.
Jilin, the only one of the three eastern provinces on land, has not yet been recovered, and the army was also a little anxious after this Dadonggou naval battle. They jointly incorporated foreign divisions from Tsarist Russia, used artillery fire and air force advantages to storm the Japanese positions, and then divided and surrounded the Japanese. A battle that imitated the blitzkrieg killed the Japanese in Jilin into a defeat.
Seeing the telegrams from frontier positions like snowflakes, Emperor Hirohito and the Kanto Army Base Camp also knew that Jilin could not be able to stay. The surrounded Japanese soldiers would naturally not wait for reinforcements. The Japanese soldiers led the Third Division to break out of the Central Army's not tight encirclement, which crossed the Yalu River and returned to the Korean Peninsula. Because the Central Army's planes and tanks chased them very quickly, they even blew up the Yalu River Bridge with planes.
In order to cross the Yalu River, the Japanese fought for the powerful tools such as car tire door panels and wooden barrels, and even opened fire to survive. Of course, senior officials such as Emperor Hirohito and Wang Jingwei still had motor boats to sit on.
When they forced the crossing of the Yalu River, many Japanese who did not get the tires were washed away by the waves, but most of the casualties were bombing and strafing by the Central Army planes. There were countless dead, and a large number of floating corpses even blocked the sea outlet of the Yalu River. A few days after the Japanese forced the crossing of the Yalu River, the water of the Yalu River was still red. Some people even proposed to rename the Yalu River Yahong River to be worthy of its reputation.
The Japanese base camp and Emperor Hirohito thought it would be safe to cross the Yalu River, but they didn't know that the Central Army and foreign corps chased after him in a blink of an eye. The Japanese who were running for life had already thrown away all the weapons and ammunition that affected the load on the road just to run faster than their companions. Now the Japanese who had no combat power had to embark on the road to escape again. This was a matter of defeat and no longer being able to solve the problem by shouting a few slogans.
A large number of Japanese soldiers were in a state of malnutrition for a long time, and while running, they vomited blood because they were too tired and fell to the roadside, which became a real road.
However, this does not include the Osaka Fourth Division. The group of people in the Osaka Fourth Division began to secretly take the train to retreat early to the North Korean region when they saw that the situation was not good. At that time, the Yalu River Bridge had not been bombed by the Central Army planes, and most of the Osaka Division people miraculously returned to the North Korean region.
When the main Japanese army retreated to North Korea in large numbers, the Osaka Division had already controlled Busan and Nagasaki, the two most important ports for returning to China, and controlled several passenger and cargo ships to sell tickets for this return to China to the general public. Since the Fourth Division started out as a merchant, the tickets for the final return journey were also very expensive - anyway, it was a one-sword deal, so naturally they earn as much as they can.
A ship ticket to return to China in Busan and other places has been sold at a sky-high price of 1,000 to 3,000 yen. You should know that the Japanese stipulate that only the Korean Yuan can be used but not yen. However, the Osaka Division, which left the three eastern provinces first, was kind enough. It was not yen, pound, US francs, and oceans and gold and silver jewelry.
There are also people who have good water quality who want to use simple wooden boats and sampans to cross the straits. For these feats, the 4th Division of Osaka does not care about these feats. Anyway, the more ships there were in the past, the fewer ships left, the better the Osaka Division's business - because everyone only wants to go back, who dares to come back to compete for business with the Osaka Division?
Changchun puppet Manchu Palace.
Yuren ran away and only brought one Wang Jingwei before leaving. The puppet Manchukuo was ruthlessly abandoned by the Japanese. Among them were the puppet Manchukuo Emperor Xuantong Puyi and a group of puppet Manchukuo ministers, including Wu Huawen and Li Fuhe and other rebel generals.
It was the snake that had a snake road and the rat that had a rat road. When we saw that the small tree of Manchukuo that was covered by the Japanese was not enough to shelter from the wind and rain, we all started to make birds before the disaster, and each looked for his mother and went back to his home.
In the end, the puppet Manchukuo Emperor Puyi was left with a little eunuch named Li Xuesan (played by bar friend, the Three Theorems of Thermodynamics). Even the queen Wanrong in the cold palace ran away with the guards she had an affair, and she really became a lonely man, just like what Puyi said every day now - she has become an orphan.
The little eunuch Li Xuesan was very open at this time and held a silver plate and said, "Emperor, why is there a dynasty in the world that will never perish? Please let the emperor see more."
"Bold slave, what does this mean?" Puyi looked at the two rolls of three-foot white silk on the plate and two glasses of water wine. This one and three-foot white silk must have poisons such as crane red.
Li Xuesan, the young eunuch, knelt on the ground and said, "Your Majesty, there are only two of us in the palace now. Even the chef ran away cleanly. I scooped out the wine from the bottom of the wine jar. I am not afraid to tell you, the ** army has already fought with Princess Ridge in Siping, and the other people have passed Jilin. The two people are not far from Changchun. I often listen to people, and the emperor is willing to make a decision early, so that the servants can stay with you in history."
The last emperor did not dare to look at the poisonous wine white silk again, and asked, "Where is the defenders of Changchun?"
The little eunuch Li Xuesan smiled bitterly and said, "Your Majesty, when is this time? Where is the guards from Changchun? Yesterday morning, when I went to take two chairs from the palace to exchange a bowl of porridge for Emperor Longsheng, I met General Wu Huawen and his nephew and nephew-sister-in-law, but General Wu had already put on makeup and was running to the countryside, and he didn't dare to recognize me."
Puyi thought again that in the past two years, many ministers from Tianjin died of illness, and those who retired and returned home, there were really not a few old ministers left in Changchun. Originally, Puyi had a younger brother, but in order to bloom more, so as not to be taken away by the Japanese, he secretly went to Hong Kong with a few old ministers.
Thinking of this, Puyi grabbed the three-foot white silk and said the catchphrase that he often talked about recently: "I have become an orphan."
Puyi, who had thought about how to die, asked, "There is still coal in the backyard."
The young eunuch Li Xuesan replied: "The good things in the palace and even the food that can be taken away are all taken away. The coal blocks are dirty and heavy, but no one wants them. There are still many in the backyard. However, the iron pots in the palace are taken away by the chef. Even if there is coal, the slave cannot raise the fire. He boils water and cooks for Master Long live."
Thinking of the fate of Chongzhen in the late Ming Dynasty, Emperor Xuantong Puyi felt a little calmer: "Okay, take me to see."
The little eunuch Li Xuesan led Emperor Xuantong to move the backyard of the palace where the coal was stored. There were hundreds of tons of coal here, and a small hill was piled up. The pine tree in the center of the yard was flooded by the coal mountain and was mostly below. However, by climbing the coal mountain, you can touch the branches of the pine tree.
Under the guidance of the young eunuch Li Xuesan, Emperor Xuantong Puyi climbed the coal mountain bit by bit. The young eunuch Li Xuesan served the last time, hanging the two of them on the solid branches of the pine trees.
Puyi grabbed the white silk that was already wrapped around his neck with both hands, and shivered like a sieve of coal mountains. He took the last step without doing it for a few minutes.
When the little eunuch Li Xuesan saw this, he pushed the body of the Lord Longsheng, sent Puyi into the air, and shouted, "Don't worry, Master Longsheng, I'll come afterwards."
After the young eunuch Li Xuesan sent the Long Live Emperor on the road, he jumped out with three feet of white silk around him. After the two of them stomped their legs on the pine branches for dozens of seconds, they finally swallowed.
A few hours later, the Central Army soldiers who rushed to the Manchukuo Palace found two corpses in the backyard. The leader in charge of the security of the Manchukuo Palace cursed when he saw Xuan Tong's body: "Take a photo, restrain yourself, you'll be cheap."
You should know that although the end of such people who repeatedly claim to be emperors, the end of the life and the dead will be the same, the credit will be different.
Jin Batian, who is the deputy commander-in-chief of the navy in Qingdao, is also very busy. Although the main ship was not sunk in this Dadonggou naval battle, many ships were still injured during the two-hour naval battle with the Japanese, including the Yanshan attacked by the Kanfeng and some seriously injured ships, all of which have to go back to the factory for repair.
So after the shipyard sent four brand new Zhongshan-class battleships, the four most injured Zhongshan-class battleships were towed back for maintenance. Of course, the maintenance time could not be built. The original plan to add more than a dozen Zhongshan-class battleships before the arrival of the British, French and Italian maritime coalition forces was also broken. However, the maintenance speed was much faster than the creation of new ships. By then, twenty-four new Zhongshan-class battleships will be used as main battleships to fight the British, French and Italian navies.
This repair is not just a simple repair of the damaged area. For example, cleaning the attached sea creatures at the bottom of the ship can increase the speed. After cleaning, you will naturally need to apply toxic paint to prevent a group of marine parasites from sticking on it in a short time. It is also beneficial to remove scale in the boiler and pipeline and prevent boiler explosions. There are also some simple modern modifications.
When the British, French and Italian coalition forces arrived in Mumbai, they received news that the Japanese combined fleet and the Pacific fleet were almost destroyed in the Dadonggou naval battle. In order to celebrate this, the senior executives of the British, French and Italian navies also held a small banquet in Mumbai.
Although the central navy of the Nanjing government is the enemy, the Japanese Joint Fleet and the US Imperial Pacific Fleet are also potential threats. What is better than killing two birds with one stone, that is, killing three birds with one stone. In order to annihilate the combination of the Joint Fleet and the Pacific Fleet, the central navy of the Nanjing government must have been scarred and even poor shells. Now we are waiting for the British, French and Italian navy to pick fruits. Although in order to get the Japanese to send troops, the Three Kingdoms did have a heavy financial bleed this time, but all the efforts for future world hegemony are worth it.
When the British, French and Italian maritime coalition forces passed through the Johor Strait, the Nanjing government also received news here, considering that this time they would defend the enemy from outside the national gates and prevent enemy fleets from shelling Taiwan, Guangzhou and other places.
On December 1, 1938, the main fleet of the Central Navy (including twenty-four battleships) stationed in Weihaiwei, Qingdao and Lianyungang came out in full swing and went south to find the enemy fleet to fight to the decisive battle.
After the Central Navy arrived in Taiwan to replenish freshwater diet, he didn't know which route the Three Kingdoms coalition would take. However, he heard a message from the colony of Hanoi, Vietnam. Hundreds of ironclad ships of the British, French and Italian coalition were replenishing freshwater and food. Chen Shaokuan was overjoyed after receiving the news and finally knew where the enemy was going. The Central Navy immediately set off to fight the enemy at sea.
According to the idea of the British, French and Italian coalition forces, they went to Hong Kong along the coast to cheer up the British robbers who were stationed in Hong Kong, and then bombarded Guangzhou and sent shells from the civilized world to Guangzhou citizens, just like they did during the two Opium Wars. They bombarded Guangzhou and went north and finally bombarded Nanjing. As for the Nanjing Central Fleet - the Nanjing government can be asked to hand over this broken fleet at the negotiation table with the Nanjing government.
Of course, if this broken fleet has the courage to fight, or even have combat capabilities, the British, French and Italian coalition forces would not mind sending them to the bottom of the sea. The so-called robber logic is that it is best to get it. If you can't get it, no one can imagine it.
However, this plan, known as the greatest 20th century, was shattered before the vanguard troops arrived in Macau, like a mirror hit by a hammer. A series of clean and neat battleship formations, like a hill on the sea, arrived from the east, and the huge muzzle had already pointed at the Prince Hood battlecruiser in the front.
Battlecruisers are a product of the World War I era. They continued to become battleship artillery power to fight battleships, and also to capture ships with the speed of cruisers to capture ships with smaller tonnage than their tonnage, so they were designed with thin skin and large filling. The original theory of design was that he could run past battleships, but he could also threaten battleships, so he naturally did not take ships below battleships seriously. However, it was still difficult to fight against battleships.
With firepower and speed, its protection ability will naturally be greatly reduced. The Emperor-class battleship arrest type built by Britain for the Japanese is a reference to the battle cruiser.
