Yusaku Uehara was extremely confident, and as the commander-in-chief of the crusade against China, he was tired of waiting at sea, and for a month, he began to plan the scale of the war from the battleship Mikasa. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 infoAs a soldier, Yusaku Uehara naturally hopes that the scale of the war will be as large as possible, and it is best to develop to the point of a national war. At the same time, as the father of engineers in the Imperial Japanese Army, the "criticism" of "talking on paper" has always accompanied him, and Yusaku Uehara also hopes to use the war against China to justify himself.

However, all utopian dreams are just utopian dreams, all designs cannot withstand the backlash behind them, and there have been endless debates in the Diet and the Imperial Court about the scale of the dialogue war, as a newly succeeded emperor, the attitude of Taisho Emperor Jiaren swayed left and right, and the hesitant character of Emperor Taisho also led to the dispute between the Chinese faction and the martial faction in the imperial court.

Originally, Saionji Gongwang could not shake the prime ministership of Katsura Taro, but the defection of the military and naval factions, the alliance of Yamamoto Gonbei and Saionji Gongwang, forced Prime Minister Katsura Taro to make concessions to the Wen faction. Yamamoto Gonbei was obviously not fighting alone, and after Yamamoto Gonbei defected to the Mastomo Association, the ministers of the Satsuma Domain of the naval faction gradually moved closer to the Masatokai Association, which put pressure on the army faction of the Choshu Domain.

Although Katsura Taro repeatedly advised Uehara Yusaku and said that you don't have to worry, everything in the rear is up to me, and I will support you, the debate over whether the Japanese standing army should directly invade China has been debated in the Japanese imperial court, and in the end, it was Katsura Taro who ordered Uehara Yusaku to start a war against China's Jiangbei Army without authorization, which ended the debate. And because of Katsura Taro's unauthorized actions, Yamamoto Gonbei and Saionji Gongwang joined forces to impeach Katsura Taro, demanding that Katsura Taro go to the field and bear all responsibility.

"Alas......" Standing on the bow of the battleship Mikasa, Yusaku Uehara was very emotional, as the so-called success will be done, where is there something so easy to do, especially war, which is related to the fate of the country and the nation.

"Your Excellency, the wind is blowing, please enter the warship and rest." The captain of the battleship Mikasa, Yuki Asada, said that when it comes to the battleship Mikasa, it is a famous name, and in order to purchase the battleship Mikasa, Gonbei Yamamoto and Saigo took the road first and then played, embezzled the training funds without authorization, and informed Emperor Meiji that the navy had ordered the battleship Mikasa in the form of apology for suicide. Of course, it was impossible for Emperor Meiji to kill the two elders, so he had to let them go, but because the two embezzled military funds without reporting, Emperor Meiji was jealous of them. The following year, Saigo died of illness, and Yamamoto Gonbei was suppressed by Emperor Meiji in the navy. Therefore, Emperor Meiji died of illness last year, and Yamamoto Gonbei couldn't wait to jump up and down to fight for power, and Emperor Taisho had just succeeded to the throne, and one was oppressed by Katsura Taro and Yama Prefecture Aritomo, so he needed influential military supporters such as Yamamoto Gonbei, which was also all the reason for this dispute against China.

When the battleship Mikasa was put into service, it was the most advanced battleship in the world, even far more than the British battleships of the same period, its protection function was the most powerful in the world, and even the radio was the most advanced in the world, four years later in the Russo-Japanese War, the battleship Mikasa was hit by a Russian naval warship with fifty shells, but only minor damage. However, in 1905, the year after the end of the Russo-Japanese War, the battleship Mikasa returned to the Sasebo Military Port for maintenance, and several sailors played a game of igniting alcohol to pass it to each other, and as a result, one soldier accidentally spilled alcohol on the deck, causing a fire not far from the ammunition depot, which subsequently caused the ammunition depot to explode. The battleship Mikasa served for five years, and instead of sinking it, the Russians did not sink it, but the Japanese sailors played a game of prank and sank it, and the Mikasa self-sinking incident also led to the downfall of the Japanese Navy commander Togo Heihachi. In 1906 the battleship Mikasa was salvaged, and after two years of repairs, it was returned to service in 1908 and joined the reserve fleet, and in 1910 after a thorough examination, the battleship Mikasa was officially approved to return to service in the Navy.

As the first captain of the Mikasa battleship that was reinstated, Yuki Asada was always cautious, for fear that something would happen to the navy. Moreover, there is a slogan in the Japanese Navy that the battleship Mikasa is a cursed warship, and all the captains associated with him will be more or less unlucky. Originally, Asada Yongyi didn't believe it, thinking that he would have nothing to do, but Na Cheng wanted to learn a news a few days ago that shocked him and the Japanese Navy, the Japanese army was defeated in Wolf Mountain Port, and even the naval ship ran aground and sank when it retreated. Fortunately, Asada Yuki was not the head of the navy for this war against China, otherwise he would have really resigned for this incident.

What is even more tragic is that this time Katsura Taro threatens him to force the landing, and Asada Yuki is finally persuaded to order the fleet to assist in the landing, and soon after, a typhoon comes. Asada Yongyi really wants to scold God, isn't this playing with me? Judging from his many years of experience in navigating the East China Sea and the Yellow Sea, the typhoon should have come in June, and the earliest typhoon was also in May, but he did not expect the first typhoon to come at the end of April.

"It's not going well, it's really not going well." Asada Yongyi could only look at the sky with a wry smile, secretly saying that he was unlucky, and what was even more unlucky was that this time he was threatened by Katsura Taro to assist the crusading army against China to land on the east bank of Nantong, and only later learned that the navy sent the bigwig Yamamoto Gonbei to fight for power with Katsura Taro, if he had known about this earlier, he would not have supported the landing of the crusade army if he had been killed, but now it was too late.

"How long do you think this typhoon will take?" Yusaku Uehara asked.

"Based on my previous experience, this typhoon will blow for at least five days. ”

"At least, what if more?"

"Ten days."

Yusaku Uehara patted his head and said angrily: "Damn the weather in Shina is also against us." ”

Asada Yong Yi said that I am even more unlucky, I was jointly tricked by you, and I can't even see my own future, as a soldier, I can only rely on my military glory now to support you in the war against China in my lifetime. But if you fail in the war against China, I am afraid that my fate will also be doomed.

"Report." Staff officer Mitarai Sanshiro walked over with a telegram in his hand, "The forward troops of the 16th Division and the 17th Division occupied Dongyu Town, Xining Town, Xinyu Town, and Toujia Town, but the Shina army destroyed all the buildings and took away all the food, and the four towns have become a dead city. ”

Yusaku Uehara frowned tightly and muttered to himself, "Are the people of China going to turn Jiangsu into a dead land?" Wow, this game is very interesting, I'll have fun with you, whether you lose and lose to the end, or the invincible Japanese Imperial Army to the end. ”
