Because the price of transistor radios produced in the Western Special Zone is much lower than that of electronic tubes, and they are lighter and more energy-efficient, the popularity rate is still very high.Today's radios have already reached the point where every household in the Western Special Zone has one. Even middle-class families in other parts of Hualan Country can at least afford a radio.

In addition to the small number of television sets, Zhao Shouhong's televised speech was quickly spread to all parts of the country.When they heard that General Zhao Shouhong of the Western Special Zone had issued a warning to Wa, asking for compensation and apology, the people were all excited.

All the common people are cheering for the toughness of the Western Special Zone. Hualan Kingdom has been weak for too long, making everyone numb.They put themselves in an extremely humble position, and they didn't even dare to resist.But now, the Western Special Zone has issued such a strong voice, which indicates that the Hualan country is different from the past. The country is no longer a semi-colonial country that is bullied, but an existence that can say no to any powerful country and dare to show its sword to any enemy. .With such a government, how can the morale of the people not be boosted? Regardless of whether the Western Special Zone dares to start a war with the Wa Kingdom, Zhao Shouhong has already won the hearts of the people all over the country.

The next morning, not only the major newspapers in Hualan Country, but also the headlines of many newspapers in the Western Continent reported this unprecedented televised speech.There are photos attached to the report, and its authenticity cannot be denied, no matter how much the Wa country quibbles, it will not help.However, what Zhao Shouhong said resonated with Hualan people all over the world, especially overseas Hualan people.

Even the media from various countries in the Western Continent have exclaimed that Hualan Nation has finally begun to show its tough fangs.Of course, most of the warlords in Hualan didn't take it seriously. They often used this method to win the hearts of the people with a tough attitude. As for whether to do it or not, it was another matter.

Just when many warlords judged that Zhao Shouhong's move was more of a gimmick than reality, Sun Baoqi, Minister of Foreign Affairs of the Western Special Zone, had already gone to Beihua City in person to present his credentials to the Japanese minister.At the beginning, Xu Haichang delegated Hualan Kingdom's diplomatic power to the Western Special Zone in order to avoid strong international pressure.Fortunately, such international pressure is an insurmountable hurdle for Xu Haichang, but it is a sharp sword to kill the enemy for the Western Special Zone.

With diplomatic rights, the Western Special Zone can represent Hualan State internationally and participate in more international affairs. It can also allow them to take the initiative on the international stage, so that they will not passively deal with the decisions of the Central Government of Beihua City.Although Cao Kun has replaced the person in charge of Beihua City, the diplomatic power still cannot be taken back, because even the direct warlords who are powerful enough to control ten provinces do not dare to provoke the evil star of the Western Special Zone easily.

Regarding the letter of credence submitted by Sun Baoqi, the Minister of the Wa Kingdom could only accept it with a blank face. They did not have any courtesy, because all of this was unnecessary.Wa country and Hualan country are already on the brink of war, any politeness is hypocritical and useless, as long as Wa country clearly expresses its intention to refuse, maybe war will start tomorrow.

Zhao Shouhong will not let the international public opinion be against him. When Sun Baoqi went to Beihuacheng to submit his credentials, Cao Rulin, the permanent representative of Hualan Kingdom to the League of Nations, also submitted a letter of protest to the committee, protesting the crimes against humanity committed by Japan.There are photos attached to this protest letter, and the facts are so hard to prove that there is no room for sophistry. Even if the Saar Empire wants to take sides, there is no way to start.

Chapter 952 Combined Fleet Attack

Facing the tough Hualan Kingdom, the Saar Empire had no choice but to hint that the committee had accepted the letter of protest, and reprimanded Wa Kingdom indifferently.Of course, the actual punishment of the League of Nations is far away.Although the Saar Empire's move protected its allies, it also disappointed the League of Nations, and all countries saw clearly the true colors of the League of Nations.This is just a place for a big country to protect its own interests, and there is no fairness to other countries at all. As a result, the international reputation of the Saar Empire has plummeted.

Zhao Shouhong's reaction to the League of Nations had already been expected. In fact, he never pinned his hopes on the League of Nations' efforts.The so-called truth is only within the range of the cannon. This is the principle that is the same all over the world. On the day the diplomatic note was issued, the Western Special Zone announced a partial mobilization order.

General Zhou Daogang, commander of the northern military region, issued an order that Liu Bozhao's troops of the Second Army and He Wenchang's troops of the Fourth Army began to move towards the Far East border, posing a threat to the Far East of Japan.Admiral Suolangwangdui of the Central Military Region was also not idle. No.16 Army Huang Gonglue led his troops into Heilingjiang and Beiji provinces, directly controlling these two invisible territories in the western special zone.

Taking advantage of the opportunity to threaten the Wa Kingdom, the Western Special Zone finally completed its strategic layout. These two provinces are like a sharp sword, cutting Wa Kingdom's Far East territory and Koryo territory into two sections, so that they cannot look at each other head to tail.Huang Gonglue dispatched troops to garrison on the border with Wa, and they didn't have much worry about the threat of Fengjun from the rear.Because after the No.16 Army entered the two provinces, the Hualan Cavalry Army, which was composed of the Eastern Huns Cavalry Division and the Qingyuan Cavalry Division, had already entered the Xing'an Mountains under the leadership of the commander Liu Hongkui, directly threatening the safety of Mingjing and making Zhang Zuolin Dare not have the slightest change.

At the same time, three air divisions and four naval aviation divisions newly equipped with new aircraft were stationed in Beiji Province and Guanghai City respectively, making all preparations for combat.The navy was not idle either. The Eastern Ocean Fleet lifted anchor and sailed to the depths of the vast sea to the east.It took only two days for the Western Special Zone to prepare for all battles. If someone said that the West Special Army had not made any war preparations during the half month of silence before, no fool would believe it.

Faced with the big move in the Western Special Zone, the Wa Kingdom also became nervous. While rescuing the earthquake-stricken area, the national army was assembled urgently, and all destroyers were released to conduct sentry to prevent the opponent from sneaking attacks from the sea.The Naval Department of Japan even recruited a large number of fishing boats urgently, equipped them with radios, and placed them [-] nautical miles away as an outer warning line to prevent the other party from slipping through.

The two sides are at war with each other, and there is a tendency to fight if there is a disagreement. The atmosphere on the west coast of the Eastern Ocean is quite tense.The Japanese government held an emergency imperial meeting, which was presided over by the regent Crown Prince Hirohito.The cabinet of Yusaburo Kato, previously supported by the Constitutional Seiyukai, resigned sadly due to the unfavorable response to the disaster, while Gonbei Yamamoto, who had experience in forming a cabinet, just took office.

The iron-blooded admiral dismissed the warning from the Western Special Zone. He declared arrogantly that as long as the Japanese navy was dispatched, the Hualan people would bow their heads and surrender.In fact, the entire Japanese navy has such optimism. They believe that Wa has two Nagato-class battleships headed by the Nagato battleship, and eight battleships including Hyuga and Ise. This scale is not Hualan at all. What two battleships can fight against is that as long as the two sides meet, it only takes one morning for the combined Japanese fleet to remove the Hualan Navy.

Both the prime minister and the military were fighting together, and Crown Prince Hirohito had no choice but to agree.Although he is unwilling to start a war with the Western Special Zone again, he also feels faintly in his heart that at least in terms of naval warfare, Japan has an absolute advantage.

Three days later, the Japanese government issued a statement rejecting the request of the Western Special Zone, and at the same time refuted the interference of the Western Special Zone on the grounds of the country's internal affairs.Prior to this, the Wa Kingdom was fully prepared for war. Although the volunteer soldiers in Anzhonggeun in Goryeo were still rampant, their combat effectiveness was not strong after all, so they could only fight in small ways.After a large number of Japanese troops were increased, An Zhonggen and the White Wolf Mercenary Corps who helped him had no choice but to hide in the mountains, not daring to take the lead easily.

The Wa State attached great importance to this battle, and all the fortifications built in the border areas had been put into use. The six main divisions drawn from the country entered the defensive positions. The three divisions that came were deployed along the Yalu River to block possible attacks from the Western Special Zone.

The Japanese army knew very well that the Japanese army was not an opponent of the West Army, so they took a completely defensive position on land.But at sea, Japan's main fleet was dispatched under the escort of auxiliary ships, heading south.With a thunderous force, they will smash Guanghai City, an important port city in the Western Special Zone, in one fell swoop.

This time the Japanese Navy learned a lesson, and not only carried a large number of cruisers in the accompanying fleet, but also followed by more than 30 minesweepers.The Wa Kingdom put on a posture of attacking with all its strength and must attack Guanghai City in one fell swoop. In the face of such a navy that is almost the most powerful in the entire Eastern Ocean, military scientists from various countries began to predict how many days Guanghai City would be able to last.

Facing the rapidly approaching Japanese fleet, Lieutenant General Zhu Daizhen, commander of the Gwanghae Territory, seemed not in a hurry.After the entire Eastern Ocean Fleet left the port, Guanghai City did not even enter the state of martial law, but the shore-based aviation reconnaissance force affiliated to the Navy dispatched Type A seaplanes to use its seven-hour ultra-long battery life to fly in Guanghai City. Spread a fan around the city, covering the sea with a radius of [-] kilometers, searching for the traces of the Japanese fleet.

At the same time, the large torpedo boat troops left in the harbor scattered and attacked, and carried out martial law missions in the open sea to make up for the vacancy that the aircraft could not be dispatched at night, and closely monitored the Japanese fleet that might appear at any time.After the optical system of the reconnaissance satellite was scrapped, Zhao Shouhong had lost his eyes in space, and now he could only rely on primitive methods.

Under the joint search of Hualan sea and air, the combined fleet of Japan and the United States has nothing to hide.In fact, they didn't want to hide their whereabouts. Lieutenant General Tsuchiya Jinguang, who led the team, sat on his flagship battleship Ise with a confident face.This time, in order to prevent a possible sneak attack by the opposing battleship fleet, the two Nagato-class battleships did not accompany them, but Tsuchiya Jinguang felt that attacking Guanghai City, which was not protected by the navy, with a large fleet of seven battleships was already overkill.

Chapter 953 Aircraft Reconnaissance

In the Great Kanto Earthquake, the Japanese navy was not without losses. The unbuilt battlecruiser Amagi on the berth was shaken off, and its keel was twisted into twists.The light cruiser Naka was completely burned on the berth, and both warships had to be rebuilt, but even so, the battleship strength of the Japanese Navy was still far superior to that of the Hualan Navy.

According to Lieutenant Admiral Tsuchiya Jinguang's plan, when the fleet reaches the sea outside Guanghai City, first let the minesweeper completely clear the opponent's shameless mine array.Then the fleet approached the coast and destroyed those forts with large-caliber main guns, and the rest would be handed over to the landing troops behind.Admiral Tsuchiya Jinguang planned to form and landed on the transport fleet thirty nautical miles behind the battle fleet, carrying two elite infantry divisions.

When the navy clears up the resistance of the West Army, they will be able to capture Guanghai City without any effort. At that time, those troop carriers will become transport ships, and all the looted property and machines will be pulled back to Japan.Thinking of the excited look of the Secretary of the Admiralty and the shiny admiral's epaulettes when he saw these seized items, he already had a feeling of elation.

Just when Lieutenant Admiral Tsuchiya Jinguang felt good about himself, a naval officer reported: "I found the enemy situation, at three o'clock on the starboard side, I found a large aircraft."

Hearing the news of the discovery of the enemy situation, Tsuchiya Jinguang suddenly jumped up. He walked quickly to the porthole and used the binoculars hanging on his chest to look towards the starboard side.Tsuchiya Jinguang quickly adjusted the telescope clearly, and he finally saw the plane clearly.

It was a Type A seaplane, one of the reconnaissance planes sent by Zhu Daizhen, and although it had four engines, it did not carry any wild bombs.

The seaplane, numbered 29101, immediately lowered its altitude after discovering the Japanese fleet. The observer also raised his binoculars and looked at the white trails on the sea. "Hey, the main force of the Japanese fleet is here." When he spoke, he picked up the intercom and shouted to the transmitter in the back cabin: "Send a report to Guanghai City, we are in the NO.11 area The main force of the Japanese navy was discovered, with a total of seven battleships, 41 cruisers, and [-] destroyers."

"Understood, send it immediately." The sender quickly turned on the transmitter, and quickly moved his left hand on the send button.

"Will the other party launch an attack?" A staff officer asked worriedly.After watching for a long time, the opponent neither strafed nor dropped bombs, but flew slowly in the air, seemingly very leisurely.Tsuchiya Jin Guang sneered, "Don't worry, it's just a reconnaissance plane."

At this time, a staff officer ran in panting, and he saluted the golden light of the Tuwu: "Report to the commander, the other party is sending a report."

"Notify the port? It's a pity that it won't help. A port without navy protection is just a lamb waiting to be slaughtered." Tsuchiya Jinguang said disapprovingly: "Order to shoot with anti-aircraft guns to drive them away." Those small-caliber torpedoes on the battleship The artillery fired one after another, shooting at the planes in the sky.It is a pity that the Japanese army at this time has not yet been equipped with special air-burst anti-aircraft shells, and the proportion of directly hitting aircraft with shelling seems to be too low.

Tsuchiya Jinguang also knew that the shelling effect was limited, not to mention that Japanese warships did not have special air defense equipment, and the firepower density was really horrible.After bombarding for a while, the Japanese artillery finally stopped, because two light seaplanes had ejected from the battleship and took off, aiming at the large seaplane.

Because Japan's anti-aircraft artillery has no pressure, the pilots flying the seaplanes have been circling the Japanese fleet, hoping to obtain enough detailed information.Of course, the pilot has not forgotten the danger. The speed of the seaplane is too slow and it is easy to be attacked. Once an enemy reconnaissance plane appears, it is impossible to escape. Therefore, the observers are always vigilantly observing the surroundings.

"Report to the captain, at five o'clock in the rear, a battleship is catapulting the plane." The radio operator at the tail of the plane also had binoculars. When the plane turned, he found the crowd busy beside the catapult.

"Come on, they're going to intercept us by seaplane and send a report to the headquarters. We're retreating." As soon as the pilot finished speaking, he swung the joystick in his hand to the left, and the heavy seaplane drew an arc towards the light. He flew in the direction of Haicheng.By the time the Japanese navy's two SHORT184 seaplanes purchased from the Saar Empire took off, the No. 29101 seaplane of the West Air Force had already gone.

Being spied on by the West Air Force made Tsuchiya Jinguang very unhappy, although he thought that even if the other party discovered his fleet, he would do nothing.Unless they dispatched submarines to attack the troop carrier fleet behind.Tsuchiya Jinguang thought he had found the key. He immediately ordered the radio silence to be broken, so that the troop carrier fleet behind would speed up and join the main fleet. At the same time, he ordered the destroyer to expand the search range and try its best to find the submarine.

The destroyers carried by the Japanese fleet were all built after the war by introducing the technology of the Saar Empire. The ship was equipped with the first-generation passive listening device produced by the Saar Empire, which could detect the sound of the propeller rotating when the submarine was running underwater. .However, this kind of listening device is an emergency model during wartime. Although the sound of the propeller can be heard, the background sound of the ocean cannot be ruled out.

It is very difficult for a person using a hearing instrument to find the sound of a submarine in a very noisy sound.At the same time, because it was too noisy, it would make people dizzy after listening to it for half an hour, and it was not sustainable at all, so the Saar Empire had already eliminated this kind of equipment.

The level of science and technology in the Wa country is not high, but they regard this product eliminated by the Saar Empire as a treasure and use it as a trump card.In the previous two battles against Hualan, the Japanese Navy had suffered enough from the submarines of the Seat Navy, so this time they brought out all the secret weapons, hoping to gain something.

After dispatching all the destroyers, Lieutenant General Tsuchiya Jin Guang was relieved.It is almost noon now, and it is estimated that it will be dusk when they arrive at Guanghai City, so the Japanese navy must prepare for field battles.The battle-tested Tsuchiya Jinguang is not nervous about the battle. He knows very well that the more he fights, the more he needs to recharge his batteries, so he sent an order: "Order all those who are not on duty to sleep immediately, and wait until they are close to Guanghai City before entering." battle position."

The staff officer immediately went to pass the order, and Tsuchiya Jinguang said to the captain beside him: "You continue to command, I will sleep for a while, and wake me up when I get close to Guanghai City."

"Yes." The captain nodded slightly.Tsuchiya Jinguang found a comfortable position on the chair next to him, put the general cap on his face and fell into a deep sleep.

Chapter 954 Flying Formation

Even on the battlefield, he can fall asleep at any time. This is the ability of a veteran of hundreds of battles. As a senior general who has experienced the previous naval battles of the Japanese country, Tsuchiya Jinguang has this ability.As if all the officers and soldiers were infected by the commander's relaxed mood, the advance of the Japanese United Fleet was not in a hurry, and the entire fleet only sailed to Guanghai City at an anti-submarine speed of [-] knots.

It took only 5 minutes for the seaplane to send back the telegram, and several military airports on the outskirts of Guanghai City were already busy. "Hurry up and reload, we must take off within 10 minutes." Guan Wenhai, the commander of the Navy's First Bomber Division, ordered loudly. He was very busy hanging bombs.

Those currently stationed at several airports in Guanghai City are not any of the eleven divisions of the Air Force, they belong to the Naval Aviation.This is a unique arm in the world today, and it was originally created by the Western Special Zone.

The naval aviation units to perform missions today are actually not shore-based aircraft, they are all carrier-based aircraft units.It's a pity that these new aircraft have only been taken over for more than a month, and they have not yet undergone on-board take-off and landing training, so they can only use land airports.However, taking off from land will not affect their performance in the slightest, on the contrary, they can complete preparations and takeoff faster.

Guan Wenhai sat in the cockpit, checking the altimeter, fuel gauge, level, ailerons, flaps and rudder of the aircraft over and over again. This is a necessary work before take-off, especially important for naval pilots.Flying in the vast sea, the plane is their only support. If the plane has an accident at sea, their chances of survival are very low.

The inspection was completed quickly without any possible hidden dangers, and Guan Wenhai was very satisfied with this.The new aircraft, numbered Haibo 1, is an eight-meter-long biplane that is the first-generation dive bomber produced by the Bayuzao Design Bureau. Its ability to carry 450 kilograms of bombs makes this aircraft have a powerful attack capability.

After a large number of Teutonic and Austro-Hungarian scientists and engineers joined, the strength of the Airich Power Laboratory increased greatly. They optimized it according to the drawings pre-researched by BMW, and soon produced a V-burning 2-type 9-cylinder radial piston engine. .This engine is as high as 880 horsepower, which can be described as the top engineering work of this era, enough to sweep the engine design companies all over the world.

It is precisely because of the existence of this engine that the Haibo 1 aircraft can have a speed of 340 kilometers per hour and a ceiling of 9000 meters.With the help of two air-type [-]mm aviation machine guns, this bomber is enough to compete with various fighters in the world in air combat.

The Navy's [-]st and [-]nd Divisions, which are equipped with such dive bombers, are making preparations at three nearby airfields, but at the other three airports, the aircraft of the Navy's [-]th and [-]th Divisions have already taken off in advance.

Unlike the troops of Guan Wenhai of the First Division of the Navy, the troops of the Fifth Division Commander Wang Yongzhi were not equipped with dive bombers. They also used the Haiyu 1 torpedo bomber produced by the Bayuzao Aircraft Design Bureau.The body of the Haiyu 1 torpedo aircraft is solid, and the nose is protected by armor, so it is difficult to be shot down by the enemy. The two air-type aviation machine guns one in front and one in the back also give this aircraft all-round protection.
