Hunting for Beauty

"You have to manually reload and manually aim."

The weapon commander replied after communicating with the radar room.

"Okay, follow my orders and I'll take aim."

Yang Jiangyi stood in front of the periscope, stared closely at the lens and said, "The target is the Yamato-class battleship Yamato, at an angle of 35 degrees, and the left and right torpedoes are fired at intervals of four seconds."

The battleship Yamato suffered a loss in the last sea battle. Yang Jiangyi has been preparing to get it back. The battleship Yamato has been equipped with the Japanese Navy since 1915. From then on, no matter how the main fleet of the Japanese Navy is upgraded, the most advanced ship will be named Yamato No. It has been almost 100 years since this generation of battleship Yamato, and there are six generations of ships before and after. However, battleship Yamato generally does not have a long life. It has been sunk in naval battles three times.

This battleship was the most advanced warship equipped by Japan in the 90s, a giant battleship with a total displacement of more than [-] tons.

The new generation of Yamato-class battleship has just entered service, so it has not had time to change its name. This warship still represents the highest combat effectiveness of the Japanese Navy.

A torpedo hit the Yamato. At this time, the battleship Yamato switched to manual operation. While firing shells, it retreated northward. There was still thick smoke and dust on the left side, and it disappeared into the darkness of the north. The Japanese navy saw Yamato The No. [-] withdrew from the battle, and only the warships that could move were scattered like birds and beasts, and fled in all directions.

The Chinese navy was busy sinking the Japanese warships that refused to surrender, and had no time to pursue the fleeing navy. Moreover, in the vast Pacific Ocean, there were no radars or satellites. Where would you go to pursue them?

The navy of the Sakishima Islands was completely finished. The last few battleships surrounded the flagship and hoisted a black self-destruct flag. According to the usual practice, the Chinese navy stopped shelling. Small lifeboats and life rafts were lowered from the battleships. The soldiers boarded the life raft and stared back at their own warship. The white flag was hoisted on the life raft and rowed towards the Chinese navy warship.

With the sound of rumbling explosives, the battleship broke apart from the middle, sea water poured into the warship, and the warship gradually sank to the bottom of the sea.

Combat is so impermanent, you may still be fighting for the first minute, but after this minute, the battle will undergo earth-shaking changes.

The officers and soldiers of the Chinese navy couldn't even be excited normally. Victory on the battlefield was too difficult and too easy.

It's not easy to say, after nearly ten hours of sea battle, two-thirds of the sea force disappeared, and tens of thousands of sea soldiers died in the sea, and their souls were shattered. Stones floating on the sea can only be beaten, not fought back.

In any case, this battle will eventually be recorded in the classic naval battle of history. This is China's first large-scale modern naval battle and the first naval victory in China's modern history.

In particular, he defeated his old enemy, the Japanese Navy, with his own strength. During the Sino-Japanese War, the Beiyang Fleet, the number one navy in Asia, was sunk by the Japanese with all the forces of the whole country. Man's ocean dream.

Today, a century later, the Chinese navy has stood up again with its own capabilities and announced to the world with facts that the Chinese have since begun to face the ocean.

From the beginning to the end of the Battle of the Sakishima Islands, the two sides invested a total of more than [-] ships, more than [-] aircraft of various types, China dispatched [-] submarines, and Japan also dispatched two scout submarines.

The scale of this naval battle was basically the same as that of the largest US-Japan Wright Gulf naval battle in human history. It is said that after the naval battle ended, the number of ships returning to China dropped by two-thirds.

After the battle, the Chinese Navy captured 2 battleships, 5 cruisers, 3 destroyers, 9 frigates, and 16 large transport ships. It captured 5283 Japanese naval officers and soldiers, including 22 senior officers. China lost 3 battleships and 16 cruisers. , 47 destroyers, 60 frigates, 2 nuclear submarines, 11 conventional submarines, 301 aircraft of various types were lost, 117 aircraft of the Sakishima Islands air force were captured, and more than 600 enemy ships were directly sunk. The army was annihilated, the entire J19 joint transport fleet was annihilated, and the Okinawa Prefecture Navy has basically lost its combat capability.

At 9:26 p.m. on September 8, the entire J30 fleet was annihilated, which also marked the end of the victory in the defense of Taipei. The Japanese army in Taiwan was no longer able to attack Taipei, so they had to shrink their defenses and wait in Keelung to build a defensive offensive and wait for reinforcements to arrive. However, the Japanese reinforcements may not be able to wait for the time being.

After the Battle of the Sakishima Islands, the Chinese Navy occupied Iriomote Island for repairs and digested the huge war losses. After this battle, China lost almost a quarter of its naval power and a third of its air force. For China in China, it cannot be described in any language.

The war is so cruel. Hundreds of billions of RMB and tens of thousands of well-trained naval officers and soldiers sank to the bottom of the Pacific Ocean, becoming the first cornerstone of China's struggle for the ocean.

On October 10, the United States declared war. There was a rather ridiculous thing. At that time, the United States Congress discussed China’s invasion of Japan as a reason to join the war. It was suddenly broken by the Japanese People’s Provisional Government established on October 3, so that the United States had no opponent when it entered the war. .

The reason for the invasion is simply untenable. The Japanese People’s Government joined the East Asia Alliance Defense Organization on the day of its establishment, so it can invite the States Parties to participate in the war, and the States Parties are also obliged to assist countries that have civil wars or are under military threat. The Japanese People’s Provisional Government and the Japanese Government can The two countries are considered civil wars.

However, the Japanese People's Provisional Government has officially invited the countries to enter the war, so China can't talk about invading Japan. The three-day discussion in the US Congress has become a piece of waste paper, as disgusting as eating flies.

The U.S. Ministry of Foreign Affairs was even faster. After the communication was restored on September 9, it submitted a report on sanctions against China for invading a sovereign country to the Security Council. Unexpectedly, two or three days later, the situation suddenly reversed, and the Sino-Japanese war became a Japanese civil war. China's legal assistance.

On October 10, the special envoy of the Chinese Ministry of Foreign Affairs to the United Nations delivered a 2-minute speech, which expounded China's position and policy that would never change from three aspects. China and the Japanese People's Provisional Government are contracting parties. At the invitation of the Japanese People's Provisional Government, it is reasonable and legal for China to enter Japan to participate in the war. Even if the invitation of the Japanese People's Provisional Government is not legal, as the two parties declaring war, attacking their respective territories is also in line with international law.

Chapter 1357

During the war, Chinese soldiers carried forward international humanitarianism, abided by the law of neutrality and various international laws, and did not attack buildings and personnel of hospitals, schools, cross societies and various non-governmental organizations marked as neutral. At the same time, the Chinese government also granted these The unit provides strong protection. On the other hand, the Chinese government does not use nuclear weapons, biological and chemical weapons, bacterial weapons and other unconventional equipment and weapons that are banned by the international community. Third, the Chinese government treats Japanese civilians and prisoners of war very humanely, and abides by relevant international laws and treaties.

Then listed important figures, pictures, and videos to prove the accuracy and correctness of the speech, and then presented a large amount of evidence to disprove the mistakes of the Japanese government. This made the U.S. Foreign Ministry disheartened and ended the enlarged meeting of the Security Council in an extremely embarrassing manner.

But the diplomats who thought they had defeated the US conspiracy and could at least delay the time for the US to join the war were disappointed. The US still declared war on the grounds of the US-Japan military alliance on July 7, but there was no declared war country.

In the afternoon of the same day, 3000 U.S. air troops sent to Osaka to express their support for the Japanese government.

The Daily Mail in Washington disclosed the diplomatic turmoil between China and the United States at length. The report said that China turned upside down in a few days, resolved a stormy international political crisis invisibly, and turned against the enemy. With one blow, the U.S. government declared war without even declaring war.

The expected international support has not been received. China’s military situation is gratifying. It has already occupied most of Kyushu. In terms of international diplomacy, China has fought a beautiful battle. At least the Japanese soldiers committed suicide regardless of the life and death of their own people. bored the whole world.

China has at least won the sympathy of the world. Compared with a well-prepared China, the United States is a little naive. Politicians should open their eyes and look at modern China. A battle of odds.

The Daily Mail’s article did not get enough attention from high-level U.S. officials. On the contrary, in the eyes of U.S. politicians, China’s economic strength is not enough to compete with the two economic behemoths in the world, the U.S. and Japan. The Chinese economy dragged back to the last century. At that time, the victory belonged to the United States on the west side of the Pacific Ocean.

When the two countries facing each other are hostile, confronting, and sizing up their opponents, another big country in the Pacific is also secretly thinking about its own interests. This country is Russia across Eurasia.

After the disintegration of the Soviet Union, Russia has changed a lot. It suddenly fell from a world power, which made the Slavs sad for a long time. Many Slavs are thinking about whether the decision made at that time must be correct?

During the more than ten years of Russia's decline, European forces have penetrated very quickly. Many countries in Eastern Europe and Central Asia, which are traditional forces, have broken away from Russia's control, and gradually leaned towards Europe, the United States, China, and even the Mongolian Republic, the Sino-Russian buffer zone. It also gradually moved to the other end.

The people of the declining empire always want to restore their original glory, but the reality is so helpless. High unemployment, high prices, and a vicious cycle of the economy can even break the country's fragile economic system in an instant.

The chauvinism and hegemony of the great powers in the Soviet era also affected the image of Russia, and many countries were unwilling to approach this former big country.

In the past ten years, Russia has promoted a new image, and the national policy of New Russia has become a school of its own internally and externally. While strengthening communication with neighboring countries, while restoring relations with most countries in the world as soon as possible, at the same time, using its rights as a permanent member to actively participate in International politics, fight against terrorism, hegemony.

If the battle between China and Japan has not attracted enough attention from Russia, after all, there have been long-standing grievances between China and Japan, and the international community is not optimistic about China and Japan's diplomacy, then the sudden participation of the United States in the war is like a blockbuster to the world. A diplomatic tsunami has hit, and every country is considering how the game between China, Japan, and the United States will affect its own country and how it will affect the world.

Russia, in particular, is located in Northeast Asia and is also a part of the Pacific Ocean. To the south is the Sea of ​​Japan. The land border borders China, and the part of Northeast Asia borders Northeast China. What role will Russia play in this battle? Already on the desks of top Russian officials.

Whether to jointly attack the United States with China, or to weaken China with the United States, or to maintain independence.

Not only Russia, most countries in the world are watching with restraint, especially Southeast Asia, which is closely connected with East Asia. At the beginning of the war, the anti-China countries in Southeast Asia arrogantly clamored for the theory of China's rapid demise, calling for the United States to join the war, and Nagasaki landed The battle was won beautifully.

China annihilated and captured 8 to 10,000 people in Japan. The United States really joined the war, but these countries have calmed down. So far, they have not done anything. The strength of the navy can transport [-]+ people at the same time. It seems that the hidden strength of the Chinese navy is very huge.

Weak countries have no diplomacy. In the international community where strength speaks, a strong military force can definitely make some countries shut their mouths.

War is a way of shuffling the cards in the world. After each war, the international situation will inevitably change, especially inter-regional wars and international wars.

During World War I, a powerful communist country was created in the world. After World War II, the world police emerged. After this war, what impact will it have on the world?Every country is now estimating this matter.

It is impossible to ignore it. Neutrality is false, and national interests are the most authentic and reliable. The government exists for national interests, and national interests are concentrated in economic and political status. These things can directly affect the status and quality of life of the people. This affects government votes.The war is coming, and it is another opportunity to reap national interests, and every country is waiting to see it.

The international situation is complex and changeable. There are only eternal interests among countries, but no permanent hatred.

***** How many people can see clearly the situation in front of us. Newspapers, magazines, TV, and the Internet have overwhelmingly condemned the United States. The victory has inspired the enthusiasm of the Chinese people and blinded the eyes of ordinary people. The fear of great power, yet the fanatical populace is willing to ignore it even wishful thinking.

Chapter 1358

The people are great and ignorant.The Chinese people have created a glorious history, and they have also tasted the bitter fruit and drank the century-old history of humiliation written by themselves.But the power of the people is inexhaustible. The never-give-up spirit of the vivid sons and daughters of the Chinese nation is the greatest driving force for the party and the country.

The possible impact of the United States' participation in the war has long been reported to the government. As the most populous country in the world, every small problem may become the fuse of its decline, not to mention these events that directly endanger the lifeline of the country.

It is too difficult for China to become prosperous and strong. There are too many things for high-level officials to consider. It is not an easy task to manage such a big country.

The approach of the two fleets to the field of battle is the biggest crisis in front of us. Fortunately, China is mentally prepared for the United States to enter the war, but the United States knows nothing about China's actions. The result of rushing into the war is that most of the US military is not ready. The intelligence agency believes that it will take at least two months for the United States to fully participate in the war according to the standards of the Chinese military, and the intelligence agency estimates that it will take about three to four months based on the efficiency of the United States.

The United States currently has nine oceanic fleets. In peacetime, there are at least three fleets at full capacity. Some are in rotation, some are on vacation in Nagasaki, and some are just for routine maintenance without combat personnel.
