After returning to Sa'er Kingdom, the inspection team submitted a detailed report to the Congress, exaggerating the various products of Guanghai City.With the good impression of the previous rifles, the Congress immediately announced its agreement to purchase other military products from Hualan. Among them, various medicines were purchased the most, as well as steel helmets that had never been equipped by the troops of the Western Continent.

The Hualan factory began to export a large number of materials, earning excess profits from the alliance of the two major countries, while itself desperately expanding production to meet the needs of customers.With sufficient orders, Hualan's industrial system developed at a rate several times higher than that of Wa.

Naturally, Zhao Shouhong would not be satisfied with economic interests, and soon, unusual situations began to appear in the east and west directions of Hualan land.The situation in the east appeared in the Changbai Mountain area, where a new team of volunteers began to become active. With flexible tactics and sophisticated weapons, they flexibly attacked the Japanese troops stationed in Koryo, inflicting heavy damage on them.The Wa country was very angry at the incompetence of the garrison. The government had to mobilize troops from the country to go to Koryo to maintain stability, but they had nothing to do with these flexible volunteers.

After several years of intensive training, Ahn Jung-geun and his comrades are no longer what they used to be. Coupled with the weapons and ammunition secretly provided by the Dashu military government, they fought smoothly and quickly attracted the attention of a large number of Japanese troops. .The changes in the east caused the Wa Kingdom to complain, but the changes in the west did not pay much attention to Luo Sha.

Chapter 545 Rude Interference

After being reorganized and supplemented with weapons, the White Wolf Mercenary Group has become a well-equipped professional mercenary team with high technical and tactical levels, and their first goal is the Central Continent. At the end of August, Bai Lang led more than 3000 people under him to cross the border and entered the central mainland area controlled by Luocha.With a big horse in their hands, they began to attack the local garrison and Rakshasa government agencies relying on flexible mobility.

The White Wolf Mercenary Corps was active from Wilno to Lake Balkhash. Wherever they went, they attacked the garrison and government agencies, massacred the local Raksha colonists, and made the Raksha people restless day and night. into chaos.

Zhao Shouhong began to prepare for the battle against Luocha. He hoped to induce the Luocha country to take the initiative to attack, so that the Dashu military government would be forced to fight back in self-defense.As long as the Raksha people are killed first, the Dashu military government will not have to risk fighting the Allied Powers to open a land bridge to border the Ottoman Empire.The Raksha people will fight a one-on-one battle with the Dashu military government, which will not involve the war between the two major groups in the Western Continent.

Just when Zhao Shouhong deployed his troops and supplies to gather at the border of Luocha Kingdom, and was about to find an excuse to invade on a large scale, the people of Wa Kingdom made the first move.It turns out that since the Wa country announced its joining the Allied Powers group, the Teutonic country felt bad.Although the Teutonic Kingdom does not have many colonies in the Eastern Continent, there are also several archipelagos in the Eastern Ocean, as well as the fortresses in the Huangdao area.

The Teutonic state's naval strength was insufficient, and it was impossible to provide support for Huangdao, and the small navy and [-] army stationed here became alone.They neither get any support, nor can they fight against the coming war.In order to avoid losses, the Teutonic State hopes to negotiate with the Hualan government, and on the condition that the Teutonic Allied Forces put down their weapons and stay in Hualan until the end of the war, they will transfer the Teutonic colonies around Huangdao and all the equipment of the Teutonic Allied Forces to the Northern Territory. government.

To be on the safe side, the Teutonic Kingdom sent two groups of special envoys to Beihua City and Shudu to meet with the two most powerful leaders in Hualan.The special envoy of the Teutonic Kingdom, Viscount Altman, went to meet Zhao Shouhong in person. Because of the close cooperation with the military government of Dashu, the Teutonic people are very popular in Zhongchuan.After hearing that it was the special envoy of the Teutonic government who wanted to meet Zhao Shouhong, the news was quickly reported to the Governor's Mansion.

Hearing that the Teutonic people were coming, Zhao Shouhong had some calculations, and he immediately received the special envoy in the Dudu's mansion.After seeing Zhao Shouhong, Viscount Altman, who was wearing a gray windbreaker, gave him a respectful and deep salute: "On behalf of our Majesty and His Royal Highness, I send my greetings to you."

"Thank you, Mr. Viscount, for your kindness. I miss you two very much after not seeing you for a few years." Zhao Shouhong smiled and invited him to sit down, and then asked, "I don't know what business Mr. Viscount is here for?"

Viscount Altman said: "At present, a war broke out in the western continent, and the Teutonic country is no longer able to manage the colonies in the eastern continent. Our Majesty intends to hand over the Huangdao colony to the governor. In exchange, we hope that the soldiers of the Tiao-Austrian coalition can enter the colony under your control. region until the end of the war."

Zhao Shouhong replied: "I appreciate Mr. Special Envoy's kindness, but the current national government is in Beihua City, and I can't interfere in diplomacy. I think the work of returning Huangdao to Hualan should be done with Beihua City." Government talks."

Altman knew this would happen a long time ago, and he smiled immediately: "If we hand over the colony to the Beihua City government, and all the land and sea equipment of the Tiao-Austrian Allied Forces will be transported to Guanghai City by sea, is it feasible to hand it over to you? ?” Zhao Shouhong was taken aback, the other party’s words seemed very interesting.People and territory surrendered separately, which has never been seen in the history of war.However, Zhao Shouhong knew that these weapons were probably what Yuan Wei was most jealous of, and they were all handed over to him, Yuan Datou was not in a hurry.What's more, he also knew very well that Wa Kingdom would not let Hualan take back Huangdao easily, because they were always staring at this piece of fat.

"I think the Tiao-Austrian coalition forces should hand over their weapons directly to the Beihua City government. As for the follow-up issues, I will negotiate with the Beihua City government. I hope that friends from the Tiao-Austria countries can be extradited to live in Guanghai City. I will guarantee everyone's safety." Life." Zhao Shouhong obviously didn't want to get entangled in this issue, and directly rejected the kindness of the Teutonic Kingdom.

Compared with Zhao Shouhong, the negotiations in Beihua City are much more complicated.When Baron Malzen, the Minister of the Teutonic Kingdom, formally submitted his credentials, hoping to return Huangdao to Hualan, Yuan Kai was really excited.He immediately asked Cao Rulin, the Deputy Minister of Foreign Affairs, to negotiate with the Teutonic people to discuss the treatment of the Teutonic soldiers afterwards.

What Yuan Kai didn't expect was that Ban Zhichao, whom he regarded as his right-hand man, was a Japanese spy, and the news was quickly spread to the Japanese government.Hearing that the Teutonic Kingdom wanted to return Huangdao, the Wa people were shocked. They immediately ordered the Japanese Minister Rizhi Yi to submit the letter of credence, and the Northern Territory Government was not allowed to take back Huangdao.The letter of credence claimed that Wa had joined the Allied Powers and was preparing to fight against Germany. Once the Northern Territory government took back Huangdao, it would be regarded as the same front as the Teutonic people.

The letter of the State of Wa had a tough tone and rudely interfered in Hualan's internal affairs. After reading it, Yuan Kai trembled with anger.If Yuan Kui's temper was followed, he would immediately reject the letter of credence and at the same time order to take over Huangdao.But after thinking about the current strength of the Northern Territory Army, Yuan Wei became weak.

It has been three years since Emperor Xuanxing abdicated, and the Northern Territory Army has been fighting for most of the three years.Although Yuan Kui has already taken control of the national power, the Northern Territory Army has been scattered all over the country. Now there are only three divisions stationed in Tianfeng City and Qilu Province.Relying on such a small number of troops, once the Japanese invaded, it would be difficult to parry.What's more, the country has not yet been fully unified. Yan Xishan in Hedong Province and Cai E in Jiaozhi Province are in harmony with the central government, and the Dashu military government that controls the entire northwest is in a semi-independent state.

In addition, the revolutionary party is eyeing overseas, and the two major generals Feng Guofu and Duan Ruiquan also show signs of splitting, which makes Yuan Wei have to worry.Yuan Kai was hesitant about the ultimatum from the Wa people and the favorable terms from the Teutonic people.But the Wa people would not give Yuan Kai time to hesitate. Without notifying Hualan, Wa declared war on the Teutonic state on August 8 and announced the dispatch of troops to Huangdao on the same day.Qilu Province is in dire jeopardy, just like the old events of the Uro War repeating itself.

The Teutonic Army stationed in Huangdao has five battalions of troops, plus more than 120 Austrian troops, the number of defenders is about 47.In addition, the Austrian Army also had [-] warships, two aircraft, [-] five artillery pieces, and [-] machine guns.The governor of the Teutonic Kingdom stationed in Huangdao and Colonel Melva was an experienced soldier. He knew that once the Japanese country launched an attack, the Teutonic and Austrian allied forces would be in a very disadvantageous situation, and it would be difficult to match them with existing weapons.

5Chapter 16 Boycott Japanese goods

The only thing the Teutonic Army can rely on is Huangdao's tight fortifications. After years of construction by the Teutonic Kingdom, Huangdao already has four piers, six forts, and 22 forts.These fortifications are distributed in various mountains around Huangdao, forming a tight network of fortresses, guarding Huangdao City.

After the Japanese army joined the Allied Powers, Melva felt that a catastrophe was coming. He immediately suggested that the Tiao-Austrian Navy Fleet, under the leadership of Lieutenant General Maximilian Graf von Spee, leave the port and go south, and at the same time secretly use land Passage, sent a group of naval officers and soldiers to Guanghai City, hoping to receive the two battlecruisers built there.

The defense of Huangdao is also being strengthened. The Teutonic Army deployed a large number of mechanical mines in the port, set up power grids on the shore, and built the first line of defense from Haibo River to Zhanshan, and built a second line from Chushuishan through Wannianshan to Taipingshan. A line of defense to defend the safety of Huangdao City.

The front facing the sea is dominated by the defense of Haikou and urban streets. Forts are built in Taixi, Tuandao, Huiquanjiao, and Taipingjiao, and the remaining gunboats are sent to patrol Jiaozhou Bay.At the same time, the Teutonic Army sent security units to Fushan, Gushan, Aoshanwei, Jinkou, Gaomi and other places to respond.The Teutonic Army tried to rely on the established positions, wait for work at leisure, and guard Huangdao.In order to prevent Japanese spies, Melva also carefully ordered all the people near Huangdao to move out.I heard that there was going to be a war, and the Teutonic people didn't need to drive them away, and all the people didn't dare to stay. The area under the control of the Teutonic Kingdom soon became empty.

倭军的反应同样不慢，No.18师团在师团长神尾光臣中将指挥下于8月28日从倭国长崎出发，两天后即到达高丽木浦集结。十八师团先头部队No.20四混成旅团稍事休息就借助商船向龙口航渡，9月2日清晨抵达龙口海面。

The Japanese army's actions were completely unexpected by the Teutonic army. They ignored Hualan's neutral status and even landed on Hualan's territory.After the whole army landed, the Japanese army advanced towards Jimo, but due to the flooding of the river due to the heavy rain for several days, the progress of the troops was slow.It was not until the 10th that the vanguard arrived in Pingdu, and Jimo was captured four days later.

The main force of the No.18 Division, which followed it, began to land in Longkou on September 9, and arrived in Jimo on the 7th.The No.24 Third Brigade, which was originally scheduled to land in Longkou, diverted to Laoshan Bay due to strong wind and waves, and landed in Yangkou on September 20 together with the troops originally scheduled to land here.After disembarking, they quickly repelled the few Teutonic security forces, and also advanced towards Jimo.

On September 9, the Saar Army, which joined the battle, set sail from Tianfeng City by ship, and arrived at Laoshan Bay on September 19 to land.The No.22 Ninth Brigade of Infantry and the No.20 Second Regiment of Field Heavy Artillery, which the Japanese army transferred from China, also arrived in Laoshan Bay one after another.Because they learned that the Dashu Air Force had used planes to bomb the revolutionary army, they also did the same experiment.

The Farman aircraft carried by the "Wakamiya Maru" seaplane carrier was modified. They used 150 mm caliber shells as bombs. In order to keep the warheads vertically downward, they also installed deceleration drag parachutes at the tail of the bombs.During the attack on Huangdao, under the leadership of three Farman planes led by Jinzi Yangsan Shaozuo of the Japanese state, they bombed Huangdao hundreds of times and dropped more than 200 bombs.

Facing the bombing of the Japanese Air Force, the Teutonic Army had only one Fengru 1 aircraft made in Hualan to fight. However, because neither side had installed machine guns on the aircraft, it could only be a symbolic air battle with rifles. Can't get results at all.In order to counterattack the Japanese army, the Teutonic planes also added bombs to the sea to bomb the Japanese ships, but because there was no targeting system, the power of the bombs was too small to pose much threat at all.

The small air battle between the two sides of Wajo was just an episode. In the period when the aircraft was not yet mature, the actions of the air force had no effect at all except to boost morale.The Japanese mainly used sea power and the outflanking of the army to attack Huangdao, but the ambitions of the Japanese were far more than that.

After the Japanese army landed, they immediately revealed their sinister intentions.After the No. 20th Fourth Brigade attacked the line from Luanjiagoucha to Zhongcun with some troops to cover the main attack of the division, they even sent an independent infantry detachment to march towards Weixian and Jinan.

On September 9, the Japanese army captured Weixian, ignoring the garrison troops in the northern region, and captured Jinan on October 26.Wherever the Japanese army went, they burned, killed, looted, and attacked the local Hualan garrison. They even completely disregarded international justice and blatantly invaded Hualan's territory.Faced with this situation, "Global Daily" and "Shenbao" in Guanghai City, and "Zhongchuan News" in Shudu sent reporters to report the atrocities committed by the Japanese army in real time.

Because the sales of the three newspapers controlled by Zhao Shouhong were huge, and their coverage spread across the country, the atrocities committed by the Japanese army in Qilu Province quickly aroused the indignation of the people across the country.People from all over the country took to the streets to demonstrate and demand that the government declare war on Japan.

A movement to boycott Japanese goods was once again launched in various places. Many warehouse owners who sold Japanese goods piled up their accumulated Japanese goods on the street and burned them to show their protest against the Japanese government.The people all over the country were excited. The workers of the silk reeling factories in Suzhou and Hangzhou, which had been acquired by the Japanese state, went on strike one after another. They did not work for the Japanese people, and the factories suddenly came to a standstill.

Now that the war in the Western Continent is in the ascendant, it is the time to make a lot of money. If all the factories are shut down, there will be no profit. This is very anxious for the Japanese bosses.But now the people of Hualan are excited. It is a blessing that their factory is not destroyed. There is no way to resume work.

Demonstrations were also taking place in various parts of Zhongchuan, but there were on-site monitoring by local police stations, and the parade team was also very disciplined, so everyone did not behave excessively.It's just that tens of thousands of people from the capital of Shu surrounded the governor's mansion, and they didn't make any noise. They just sent representatives to hand over the letter of Wanmin to the guards, asking the governor to lead everyone to eliminate the Japanese people.

Zhao Shouhong felt very gratified after reading everyone's enthusiastic writing about Wanmin.With the propaganda of the major newspapers, the common people are rapidly awakening. It can be said that the stupid Wa Kingdom has become a negative example of Hualan's propaganda this time.With this target of hatred, the consciousness of the people of Hualan will increase rapidly.

Tens of thousands of people gathered in front of the Governor's Mansion, unwilling to leave. They loved and loved the Governor Zhao who provided them with food and clothing, free education and free medical care.They also hope that this beloved governor will not disappoint them and lead them to defeat the Japanese army who invaded Hualan.

"I'll go out and have a look." After reading Wanmin's book, Zhao Shouhong got up and walked outside.

Wang Lingji quickly stepped forward to stop him and said, "There are too many people outside, and it's too dangerous to go out. I think it's better to let the people send some representatives to meet here." Wang Lingji was very worried about Zhao Shouhong's safety.

5Chapter 17 Give me back my rivers and mountains

Zhao Shouhong smiled slightly and said, "I dare not say anything else. In today's Zhongchuan, the people really support me. If I don't even dare to approach the people, how can I listen to the people's opinions and lead them to revitalize Hualan." Zhao Shouhong waved his hand to let the guards back away, and strode towards the gate by himself.

Seeing that Zhao Shouhong refused to listen, Wang Lingji had no choice but to direct the guards to go out first.The gate of the Governor's Mansion opened slowly, and a group of guards swarmed out, pulling up a wall in front of the people to keep them out.Accompanied by Wang Lingji, Zhao Shouhong strode out.

Seeing Zhao Shouhong walk out of the gate, the common people cheered from the bottom of their hearts.Zhao Shouhong made a downward gesture with both hands, making everyone's voices gradually quiet down.Zhao Shouhong said loudly: "I am very pleased that everyone is here today. This shows that everyone has a heart of patriotism. The greatest wealth of the country is the people who work hard, dare to stand up and resist foreign aggression. Today we It's great to see so many people willing to care about the rise and fall of the country."

Zhao Shouhong's words made everyone burst into laughter, and everyone was a little embarrassed by Zhao Shouhong's praise.After everyone calmed down, Zhao Shouhong continued: "Since the Opium War, Hualan has experienced too many invasions and tribulations. Now that the Japanese invaded our country illegally in disregard of international justice, their wolfish ambitions are clearly revealed, and we cannot ignore them. Because after everyone's arduous struggle, the decadent Houjin regime was overthrown, and now we are the Republic of China."

What Zhao Shouhong said made everyone excited, and he continued to give a speech: "Now Hualan is standing at a crossroads. Whether he is strong or weak is entirely up to us. We want to declare loudly to the whole world, Hualan has already stood up, we are no longer the lackeys of the Houjin nobles, and we are no longer a government that humiliates and seeks peace, we must say no loudly, we must defeat the Japanese wolves."

"Defeat the wolves of the Japanese country, defeat the wolves of the Japanese country." The people shouted slogans one after another.

Zhao Shouhong waved his hand and said, "I am here today to assure everyone that I will immediately write to the central government, requesting to send troops to fight against the Japanese country, and drive these barbaric invaders back to their hometown. Tomorrow I will go to Guanghai City in person. If the central government does not If you agree, I will fight against the Japanese unilaterally, and even if I return the body shrouded in horse leather, I will fight the Japanese pirates to the death."

"Defeat the Japanese pirates, give me back my country." The parade crowd shouted selflessly, and many people even knelt down on the spot and kowtowed to Zhao Shouhong.

Zhao Shouhong's speech in front of the Governor's Mansion appeared in the newspapers the next day. The "Zhongchuan News" published this speech on the front page with a bold headline of No. [-].Soon all major newspapers across the country reprinted this report. Zhao Shouhong’s passionate speech caused a sensation all over the country and made him more famous in fighting against foreign enemies. among the army.

Zhao Shouhong struck while the iron was hot, and sent a telegram to Yuan Kai on October 10: "Yu has been in politics for a short time, and I don't know how to care about the importance of national affairs. But the Hualan man is not cold-blooded, and he dare not turn a deaf ear to the atrocities of the Japanese pirates. As a seven-foot man I would like to personally bring a brigade of teachers to go to the national calamity, and there will be no regrets if I die on the spot. I hope the President will make it happen. Good."

This very famous telegram for later generations was sent by Zhao Shouhong in plain code, and it can be received all over the country, which indirectly became a reminder to force Yuan Wei.Soon Yan Xishan from Hedong Province and Cai E from Jiaozhi Province issued telegrams one after another, expressing their willingness to send troops to Qilu Province to fight against the Japanese invaders for the nation.

At this time, Zhao Shouhong had already led No.15 Infantry Division Gao Yuhan and No.19 Infantry Division Song Zheyuan, under the escort of the Jiangfang Fleet, sailed down the river on a merchant ship, heading for Guanghai City.This time no one dared to intercept this army, no matter how panicked the warlords were, they did not dare to intercept the army that was going to fight against the Japanese pirates at a time when the whole country was in a state of excitement, otherwise it would be condemned by thousands of people.

What's more, besides the Jiangfang Fleet of the Shu Army, there is no other powerful fleet on the Longjiang River at this time.Even the warships of the great powers in Longjiang from various countries withdrew to the sea because of the outbreak of war in the western continent, fearing that the hostile country would block them.

The Japanese State attached great importance to Zhao Shouhong's high-profile increase of troops in Guanghai City. They sent a huge fleet to monitor, for fear that they would send warships to intercept the Japanese army's maritime supply line.However, the Japanese military did not know that the real danger did not come from warships but from underwater.
