Codex of the Old Gods: I Have a World

Chapter 1141: Well, this is called professionalism

The Japanese aircraft was a Morris Farman biplane with a pusher propeller layout, a two-seat design, a 70-horsepower air-cooled engine, a maximum speed of approximately 80 km/h, a flight time of approximately 3 hours, a ceiling of 3000 meters, a wingspan of 14 meters, and a length of 8 meters.

The parameters of the Japanese reconnaissance aircraft immediately appeared in Liu Wendeng's mind.

Liu Wendeng's attempt to lure the enemy failed.

The enemy plane attempted to dive away.

But the speed difference between the two was more than twice. Liu Wendeng twitched the corner of his mouth, turned around and launched an attack from the side and rear of the enemy plane.

Ta ta ta...

Ta ta ta...

Ta ta ta...

During the third attack, the distance between the two sides was already very close.

Liu Wendeng could vaguely see the enemy pilot looking back with horror on his face.

Then flames burst out from the fuselage of the enemy plane.

Tata Tata...

Fourth attack.

boom……

exploded.

Liu Wendeng looked around and found no other enemy planes, so he turned around in the Feng Ru 4 plane.

The Feng Ru 4 aircraft is more advanced than the Feng Ru 3 that Zhao Chuanxin sold to France.

The main feature is that Feng Ru 4 can not only attack the air, but can even adjust the muzzle of the machine gun to attack the ground when flying at low altitude, rather than just hanging bombs.

This is unique at this time.

Liu Wendeng reported to his superiors.

After hearing the news, Sun Yanguang ordered the cruiser to keep a close eye on the enemy ships.

As a result, Japan did not dare to come.

In the Japanese Concession in Hankou, Japanese residents held demonstrations to protest against Zhao Chuanxin's brutal forced expulsion.

Liu Huaqiang reported this to Zhao Chuanxin, who ordered: "Open fire."

More than 59 Japanese residents in Hankou were killed or injured, and the march was disbanded...

Hioki Masu again sent a note to Foreign Minister Lu Zhengxiang.

This time, Lu Zhengxiang promised to severely reprimand Zhao Chuanxin.

"Rebuke? What's the use of rebuking? Can rebuking save lives? Can rebuking restore our losses?"

Lu Zhengxiang pursed his lips, endured the other party's spit spraying all over his face, and said helplessly: "Treat Zhao Chuanxin the same way as you treat your country. Lu has no way to do anything."

"you……"

In the end, Hioki demanded compensation from Yuan Weiting.

Yuan Weiting was furious when he heard this.

Why?

Zhao Chuanxin's people opened fire and drove them out violently, so why should I pay compensation?

Besides, the finances are stretched to the limit, where is the money from for compensation?

The Japanese military is really researching

How to start fighting.

The route to Bohai Bay was cut off by Zhao Chuanxin, so the only option now was to attack northward from the peninsula.

But there are not many options, whether by sea or land, the only way is to go north from Qing-Jin Port to Hui-Ning.

When simulating the battle, they finally found that there was no way to deal with Zhao Chuanxin except to pile up lives and burn money.

Moreover, they could not let the news leak out, otherwise the troop transport ship would be sunk by Zhao Chuanxin before it left Japan.

On April 4, Liu Baogui and Zhang Zhenxun led representatives from various Chinese industries to the United States to attend the Panama-Pacific Exposition in San Francisco.

A sharp-eyed reporter spotted Zhao Chuanxin among the crowd seeing him off.

The reporters immediately surrounded Zhao Chuanxin: "General Zhao, General Zhao, please say a few words..."

Liu Baogui was unhappy: "I told you not to come, but you insisted on coming. You stole the limelight."

Zhao Chuanxin was speechless: "These days, there are many disputes and storms. Am I not worried about you? I asked you to use the teleportation array, but you insisted on following them across the ocean."

Zhao Chuanxin was really worried about him.

The fewer elderly people around us there are, the fewer there are.

Liu Baogui disagreed: "Reading thousands of books and traveling thousands of miles, some roads must be traveled in person. Besides, we, who understand economics and industry, can communicate with each other along the way."

"Okay, okay, you are a man of insight, and I am short-sighted, okay?"

Zhao Chuanxin moved out and said to the reporter: "I have nothing to say. What do you want me to say?"

The reporter asked: "General Zhao, all the Japanese in Hankou have left, and the Japanese concession in Hankou has been taken back. Aren't you worried that Japan will start an attack?"

"I'm not worried. As long as their warships leave the port in large numbers, I'll know immediately. Their fastest route is to land in Chongjin. We only need to hold on for three days, and I can raze Tokyo to the ground without leaving any grass. Come on, let them come!"

"hiss……"

A reporter who knows a little bit about strategy asked, "General Zhao, you dare to target Japan so recklessly, is it because the European powers are at war?"

"That's right." Zhao Chuanxin bared his teeth and admitted frankly: "That's right. If we don't control it now, when will we? Their British ancestors were so confused by the Europeans that they didn't care about this unworthy descendant."

"..."

Everyone was stunned.

There is a reason why Zhao Chuanxin is known around the world as a hope monger, a troublemaker in Europe, and a fence-sitter on the Western Front.

He seemed to have foreseen everything and planned everything.

Going to the European battlefield to speculate seems to be also for the purpose of dealing with Japan.

It’s really high.

However, it is not limited to this, there are more considerations behind it.

Someone asked: "Why didn't General Zhao take back Lushun and Dalian together?"

Zhao Chuanxin said meaningfully: "Do you think all the Russian soldiers were sent to the European battlefield?"

Don’t they understand that when the lips are gone, the teeth are interdependent?

If Zhao Chuanxin really wanted to kill all of them at this time, Tsarist Russia would definitely send its troops to turn around and fight him.

At this time, the number of lives lost by Tsarist Russia on the European battlefield had reached at least 50.

There is no need for 50 troops, only 15 troops are needed to invade Lubin Prefecture. If Japan sends another 15 troops, Zhao Chuanxin will have to fight on both the east and west fronts, and all the accumulations of these years may be burned to ashes.

The world situation is such that when it comes to restraint, everyone is very restrained.

Once they get angry, they are willing to sacrifice any number of lives.

At this time, Zhao Chuanxin must restrain his desires and take advantage of every opportunity he can.

Later, the European countries were stuck in a quagmire. The more they fought, the fewer people they had. The less money they had, the more panicked they became. There were plenty of opportunities.

A reporter asked: "General Zhao, everyone says you know 500 years ahead and 500 years behind. Do you know our future?"

"Nonsense, nonsense, we must believe in science." Zhao Chuanxin lit a cigarette and said, "I can only be counted as one or two years at most."

"..."

Everyone laughed.

Zhao Chuanxin pinched his cigarette. The sea breeze was too strong. He put on a cap from the Chili Peppers and said, "Yuan Weiting sentenced the Congress to death. Recently, so many people are advocating for the monarchy. Some even shamelessly said something like hereditary succession. It's obvious that Yuan Weiting can't wait to become emperor."

Everyone, including those who attended the Panama-Pacific Exposition, looked at Zhao Chuanxin with strange eyes.

Some things can only be guessed before they happen.

Is it really okay to say it out loud like this?

The reporters went crazy and asked questions all at once.

"really?"

"General Zhao, are you responsible for what you said?"

"How dare he risk the world's disapproval..."

Zhao Chuanxin waved his hand and said, "Just wait and see. What Yuan Weiting did will lead to his being deserted by his friends and relatives. He will die in constant fear!"

After that, he parted the crowd, came to Liu Baogui and said, "Remember to call me if you have any problems. Wear this on you to prevent any accidents. As long as I am here, the Dragon King will not dare to take you away."

He hung a bronze eye around Liu Baogui's neck.

Liu Baogui pushed him impatiently, but when he turned around his eyes were a little red.

Zhao Chuanxin waved and everyone boarded the ship.

Zhao Chuanxin stayed at his home in Hong Kong Island for a few days until Zhao Zhongyi called him and said, "Chuanxin, I have selected a few knowledgeable people in the inner team, plus a few students from the War College who are interested in teaching positions. Find a way to send them to Europe and let them study with the army. Otherwise, we will just be closed off in the Asian circle."

This reminded Zhao Chuanxin of several famous German generals in World War II. They all participated in World War I, served as soldiers, and crawled out of the mountains of corpses and seas of blood.

So he agreed to Zhao Zhongyi's request.

This is not an easy job.

Soon after, Zhao Chuanxin received another call from Yao Bing.

Yao Bing cried, "Master, Bayar Bo'e is dying, he wants to see you."

In the past, there was no decent school in Lubin Prefecture. Zhao Chuanxin built a school building, and children like Yao Bing studied with Bayar.

Zhao Chuanxin returned to Lubin Mansion.

When Bayar was old and unable to take care of the children, the school applied for his retirement and allocated him a house.

The pension is enough for him to live out his old age.

Zhao Chuanxin went to see Bayar Bo'e. He was alone and there were few valuable items in his house.

Yao Bing and a group of children gathered around the kang.

"What happened?" Zhao Chuanxin squeezed in and asked.

Hearing his voice, Bayar opened his eyes.

His face was a little swollen.

When he saw Zhao Chuanxin, he seemed to want to smile, but his facial muscles were too weak and he couldn't.

Zhao Chuanxin sat on the kang and held his hand, which had joints as thick as tree bark.

Bayar spoke with a heavy phlegm: "You haven't aged in these years."

"Everyone grows old, some grow old faster and some grow old slower."

Bayar opened his mouth but had no strength to speak.

His eyes widened a little, and he squeezed out three words: "Okay, okay."

After saying this, he passed away suddenly.

Zhao Chuanxin stroked Bayar's graying hair, pursed his lips and said, "Go find someone to arrange the funeral. The old man has no relatives, let alone children. You can keep vigil for him. Yao Bing, you can arrange it."

Zhao Lingjun stood beside Yao Bing and shook his hand, as if to tell him that she would help him.

Zhao Chuanxin went out, lit a cigarette, and looked at the clouds in the sky in a trance.

A golden eagle was circling in the sky.

A few crows were standing outside the yard, cawed.

The dead spirit flew over and pecked the crow in a nasty manner.

The two sides fought each other.

Wild boar Xiaoling looked up curiously and watched the fight.

……

Zhao Chuanxin waited for Germany to launch a wave of poison gas warfare against the Allies before leading his men to the European battlefield.

French Marshal Joseph Joffre opened a new battlefield in northern France, Artois.

May 5, Ober Ridge.

Gao Li looked at the neat trenches of the German army and was shocked: "Do the trenches have to be dug so neatly?"

Zhao Zhongyi had said before that he would send some people to study, but Zhao Chuanxin did not expect that Gao Li would lead the team.

"The Germans are very methodical in their work," Zhao Chuanxin said, smoking a cigarette. "You'll be shocked if you follow them."

Soon, the British attacked.

A burst of heavy bombardment and a barrage of bullets covered the area.

It lasted for forty minutes.

Basically, the troops here are keeping a low profile.

When the bombing was over, Gao Li stood up and looked: "Zhao, the British are rich."

Zhao Chuanxin sneered: "They wanted to launch a barrage prelude, but unfortunately they don't have enough ammunition."

British scouts looked out and found that the German trenches were intact and all German troops were on high alert.

Next, the British army began to attack.

This was a standard trench war, fought in a conventional and calm manner.
