1890 King of Southeast Asia

"The northern defense line is broken. This Die is really a flower stand in the Qing Dynasty. The response is slow.

So that for a week, the entire infantry cluster was surrounded. "Xie Hui analyzed it seriously.

"The collapse of one hit, and a large number of weapons were left. These soldiers were definitely better than fighting." Wang Xu laughed a little.

"Die Qing is standing here, is it going to lose?" Xu Hui's tone was a little worried. If Japan won so easily, it would be too easy to protect the Japanese.

"It's not so easy. In terms of information, there are still more than 40,000 people in the encirclement circle, with sufficient supplies, complete labor, and if they are dead, there is no problem to keep for three or five months." Xie Hui explained.

"At the moment, although the Japanese army completed the surrounding of the Qing army, it was also the case. It was hundreds of miles a week, and it could only move forward lightly.

If you want to launch an attack, you can't do it for a month. "

"If I am the commander of the Qing army, then I will choose to cross the river. Japan's supply line is too long and I can only take care of one direction. Here, the threat is not big." Location.

Liu Yiming quietly watched the commanders pushing the soldiers, and there were many people around Xu Hui, Lin Anmin, Zhang Wentao, etc. around.

"The key point is now on the Navy. If the Beiyang Fleet dispatches, it can be supplied to the army. In that case, the first army of the Japanese army will be completely restrained here by 40,000 people, but it will become a strategic disadvantage." In the end, Wang Yang had to get it. Conclusion.

The issue of the joint South China Sea Army controls very well. After all, it is an island country. The importance of the navy is prominent, and the army is also not weak.

However, the normal situation is that the Navy is responsible for the sea, the army is responsible for the shore, and the Marine Corps is responsible for the middle.

"That is to say, the victory or defeat is not known?" Lin Anmin was not firm in tone.

"But things are also good, the influence of the war, our exports have been stimulated." Lin Ping's tone was brisk, and he was full of malice to Die.

What does that sentence say?

If you know enough about our party's history, then you will fall in love with him. If you know the other two hot chickens, then you will become the fanatic supporter of our party.

This is the world of individuals who eat people. It is weak and strong, without covering up. It is not the same as later.

Many bankruptcy farmers in South China are often a natural disaster. They sell the land that they think of living at home and become a beyond household.

There is another natural disaster and man -made disaster, the rent is not enough, borrowed a bucket of rice from the landlord, and became seven or eight buckets in the second year.

It was not until the street light was full of people that this situation was stopped.

"The impact will soon expand. The navy is ready to set sail. The goal is set at Lushunkou." Liu Yiming shook his head, and the woman did not use the Qing army.

"We plan to be a main cruiser, four destroyers, two supply ships, two hospital ships, and four cruise ships to form a special formation." Hearing this, Zhao Jiaxing came with a spirit.

"Will the main cruiser be misunderstood?" Lin Anmin said worriedly.

"Now that South China needs to be low -key. The war has made a lot of money now, and we have made a lot of people, and at the same time, many people are jealous of us ..." Xu Hui also stopped talking.

South China is entering the state of high -speed development, and all aspects are adjusting in all aspects.

The most important thing is military strength. At present, the South China Navy's Yuanhai intervention capacity is limited.

The composition of the South China Navy's combat power is divided into two parts.

The first part is the fleet supported by two cruisers, 9,000 tons, because it is a armored cruiser, and the body is a proper 10,000 -ton class, but it is just a firepower.

The second part is 200-420 tons of destroyers, with a total of only 18 ships, and also patrol boats, but patrol boats cannot be used for naval operations.

As for torpedo boats, because of limited self -holding, it is counted as a weapon, mainly used for near -shore defense.

It was not until the end of this year that the first group of cruisers made by their own manufacture was considered a supplement.

"Latest news, US warships come to South China to visit." Secretary Yang quietly walked in and placed a telegram in front of Liu Yiming.

"The coming is not good." This was the first idea in Liu Yiming's head.

Just look at the queue, the main force Texas, the second -class battleship, and the New York cruiser.

These are all big babies in the United States. The Texas will only serve for five months!

"Just send a few destroyers in the Navy. Don't intervene in the war between the two sides. Organize the victims and do business, and keep the main ship."

This is just a warning. Fire fire must not be, but last year, South China and the United States had a total trade of more than 50 million, and most of them were "luxury goods" -the cosmetics and nylon stockings.

Sure enough, women's money is best to make.

But this was affected by Europe. These things were very hot in Europe, and then Meilong ran up.

"Expanding the trade with DIE Qing, don't let the Japanese win too easily, it is best to let him go blood." In the future, it has changed, and whether the Japanese will attack Lushunkou is also a problem.

... ...

At this time, the lower west coast of the Green River was surrounded by work in more than 40,000 Beiyang. In the city, the Japanese army launched several attacks.

The Japanese troops on the east bank were suppressed by artillery fire and failed to cross the river. The Japanese troops on the west bank had only three bullets per person and had no ability to attack for the time being. Instead, they lost hundreds of people in the headlong attack.

"General, the Japanese pirates behind us are already exhausted. Turn around and you will definitely be able to fight a passage!" Lord Nie was persuading Lord Ye.

Lord Ye knew about this, but he also had his considerations.

"One hundred thousand soldiers from various provinces have gathered outside the pass. Lord Rong is preparing the armaments. If we get stuck here, we can attack from the center and defeat the Japanese pirates in one blow!" Lord Ye felt bitter. This was a tactic discussed by the people in the court.

Let's not talk about how long the Huai Army in the encirclement can hold out, just say that the 100,000 trained warriors pulled from various provinces, to soften them together, can this be done?

You know, these are the "elites" gathered from more than a dozen provinces. Is it easy to gather them together? And this will also hurt the rights of the literati and landlords...

But the old witch is unwilling to let go, and Rong Lu (a homophone) must take charge of the military power.

"But the soldiers learned that we were surrounded, and their morale was low. The longer they stay, the more dangerous it will be!" Lord Nie tried hard to fight for it.

"This is the telegram from Lord Zhongtang. The Huai Army cannot retreat a step. Reinforcements must arrive within two months." Lord Ye didn't believe this nonsense.

Reinforcements? Lord Ye doesn't know who they are? The Qing soldiers may be amateurs in fighting the enemy, but they are good at internal fighting!

"Even if Lord Rong knows how to use people, he is still full. Can hundreds of battalions willingly hand over military power?" Lord Nie also knew these things, and his tone was full of resentment.

"Bold!" Lord Ye first looked around, and saw that they were all trusted guards, so he breathed a sigh of relief.

"Be careful with your words, be careful with your words! Don't you know that disaster comes from your mouth? Lord Zhongtang has a hard time..." At the end, Lord Ye was also full of bitterness.

"Alas..." The two sighed.

………

"In the first phase of the battle, our army won a great victory! We seized 26,000 guns of various types, 22 artillery pieces, 40 machine guns, countless ammunition and supplies, and hundreds of thousands of taels of silver!

We successfully surrounded the enemy's elite Beiyang main force. With hundreds of kilometers ahead, no one will be able to stop the Imperial Army!" Kawakami excitedly reported the battle situation.

"What are the casualties?" Ito is back in action again, and the battle report gave him a shot of adrenaline.

So, Saigo hired Ito as a senior cabinet adviser and let him return to action. The main reason was that Saigo couldn't control it. In addition, the army had achieved such a great victory, and he, the Prime Minister of the Navy, could not sit firmly in his position.

"More than 6,000 people died in the war, and more than 3,000 people were injured." Kawakami Soroku's face was a little distorted.

"Tell the truth!" Ito is extremely experienced, and he knew at a glance that Kawakami was wrong, and the casualty ratio was also very strange.

Kawakami bowed 90 degrees: "In the two attacks, we lost more than 4,000 soldiers, including one colonel, more than 30 majors, and more than 100 junior officers."

"But it was too cold there. More than 20,000 people were killed in non-combat situations, of which more than 2,000 were frozen to death, and the rest suffered varying degrees of frostbite. Many people also suffered from beriberi..."

The voice was getting closer and closer, and then suddenly rose.

"But! The First Army still has combat effectiveness and maintains a high fighting spirit. Please give us a chance. Within a week, we can encircle and annihilate the main force of the enemy in the encirclement!"

As he spoke, his head lowered even more.

Ito's face was already shiny black.

The first release of this book:——

"More than a quarter of the casualties have been caused by frostbite..." After a long time, Ito sighed.

"I remember that soldiers should have cold-proof equipment."

"Red Bean Mud Private Marseille!" Kawakami's head was about to touch the ground.

"Alas~" Ito did not pursue it any further. Maybe the money was used to buy ammunition, or maybe it was embezzled. Who knows?

But now is not the time to cause trouble, let's solve the problem first.

"Establish the Second Army, four divisions, 80,000 people, to replace..." Ito originally wanted to say to replace the First Army, but felt it was inappropriate, so he changed his words immediately. qqxδnew

"Replace the First Army, one part will suppress North Korea (most of the food has been transported away, and the guerrillas have risen), and the other part will attack forward. The time is decided by yourself."

"In addition, the First Army will rest on the spot and strengthen the defense line. No attack without orders!" Ito stared at Kawakami fiercely.

"Hey!" Even if he was dissatisfied, Kawakami had to accept it. This was an order.

………

The war fell into a strange calm, but the game outside the battlefield never stopped.

Affected by the war, in terms of economy, the prices of many die-qing specialties have been rising, and the prices of many things exported to die-qing have suddenly dropped.

A sum of US dollars from unknown sources was suddenly injected into Japan, waving US dollars to buy supplies everywhere.

Italy began its first operation, which was called the shame of the great powers, and was defeated by the colonial natives (80,000 troops, tens of thousands of casualties, and thousands of prisoners.).

………

On January 9, 1896, the South China Humanitarian Aid Team set out from Surabaya, and British Consul Cyril participated in the departure ceremony.

"What's wrong, sir? You don't look very happy." Liu Yiming looked at Cyril, not understanding why he came to his door? Could it be for the Americans?

"Mr. Prime Minister, Britain has received intelligence that the United States is providing large loans to Japan." Cyril looked into Liu Yiming's eyes and saw that he frowned slightly, and immediately relaxed.

"South China firmly maintains the principle of neutrality and has not provided weapons to any country or supported the war in other ways." Liu Yiming said in an official tone.

"Of course we believe in Nanhua's peaceful attitude, but the US's actions interfere with justice!" Why did Cyril say that? Because it was Britain that allowed the US to borrow money in the first place.

But the US lent 300 million US dollars twice! Japan's funds were suddenly abundant.

But now Japan owes 2.6 billion yen! In comparison, Japan's peak income before the war was 80 million yen.

The interest rate is high and low. Excluding the handling fee, the average is 7%, which is 8.2 billion yen. Even if Japan is sold, it cannot be repaid. The United States wants to compete with Britain for control of Japan!

"I can't help economically, but I will have a good talk with the Americans about the Hawaii issue tomorrow. They are too annoying.

In addition, I have a friend in the Qing Dynasty who likes to collect weapons as collectibles. He hopes to buy some." Liu Yiming shrugged.

"Of course! I heard that he likes rifles? It happens that he has to go to the Straits Settlements, where there are 20,000 excellent Henry rifles for him to choose from. I will give it to him." Cyril said with a smile.

In this way, the two sides released goodwill to each other, and Nanhua and the British Empire became close comrades-in-arms again.

As for Japan? The Far East Fleet was established. It is no longer a noun. It is no longer called the Hong Kong Fleet, but the Far East Fleet.

With Singapore as its home port, it is under the jurisdiction of the Strait Fleet, the Hong Kong Fleet, and the fleet stationed in Japan. A brand new fleet has emerged.

Now, Japan's taxes, foreign trade, factories, and all non-private property have been mortgaged to Britain, and warships are stationed in Tokyo Bay. What can Japan resist?
