The rumbling sound of bombing interrupted Hu Xiaoyan's thoughts. The bombing of the city of Beijing by the airship units began in earnest.

At present, the Eight-Nation Coalition is unable to restrain the soldiers at all, which means that the soldiers will not be able to find their generals tonight, and they will not be able to find their own soldiers. Except for the Japanese and the Americans, because of their relative concentration, the troops of other countries have all dispersed, and they cannot gather at all for a while.

And because the Japanese and Americans were relatively concentrated, the special forces sent by Hu Xiaoyan exposed their positions with fireworks early on.

Time goes back an hour ago.

Japanese Army Commander Sotomi Yamaguchi went to the Japanese Legation in China and met with Japanese Minister to Russia and Japanese Minister Plenipotentiary Komura Shotaro of the Gengzi Incident.

"General Yamaguchi, please be seated." Komura Shoutaro still has a lot of respect for Yamaguchi Sotomi.

"I've seen Your Excellency." Yamaguchi Suchen bowed and sat down on his knees.

"The treasury and the money bank have been controlled. Just in case, the army is all at the first level of combat readiness, and there will be no more accidents. Yamaguchi told him about his results first.

"Your Excellency, I just saw various countries burning, killing and looting in the city of Beijing on the way here, which is very detrimental to future peace talks! Do we need to prepare in advance? ”

"No!" Komura Shoutaro smiled and shook his head, "The Shina people are still very powerful, so they must guide the object of their hatred to the Westerners." Wouldn't it be nice for us to do a wall view? When the situation gets out of control, we will come out to clean up the mess, and then neither the Manchu government nor the people will be grateful to our country? ”

"Your Excellency!" Yamaguchi Suchen was impressed.

"China is too big for us to swallow in one gulp, but we can eat it slowly in small bites, and one day we will swallow it whole. But until then, we want to guarantee the justice and legitimacy of our country. Didn't the people of China say that whoever wins the hearts of the people wins the world? "Komura Shoutaro, as a Russian and China expert, has always been calm in terms of the strategy of invading China.

"Yes, China is too big. It's a pity if Yuan Shikai's new army can join forces with the Wuyou army. I'm afraid we won't be able to break into the city of Beijing so easily. Yamaguchi sneered.

"Since ancient times, China has been in civil strife, attacking each other in times of peace, and fighting each other in times of war. Isn't this an opportunity for our country? Otherwise, how can we drink in the city of Beijing? Komura smiled.

"Your Excellency, I have heard that it was not the Wuyou Army that fought against the coalition forces under the city of Tianjin, but the new army of Anhui. But why did they suddenly retreat? This worries me very much. Yamaguchi laughed and voiced his concerns. Under the city of Tianjin, the number of casualties of the coalition army did not exceed 1,000 in a few days, but after the retreat of the Wuyou Army, the coalition army was wiped out by more than 10,000 people in less than ten minutes.

There is also the concession area in Tianjin, which was actually blown into ruins by Hu Xiaoyan's new army, and the more than 10,000 coalition troops in it were all missing, some said to have been captured, and some said that they were killed. In either case, it worries Yamaguchi Suchen. Hu Xiaoyan's new army still retains its complete combat effectiveness.

"Hu Xiaoyan will be the biggest enemy of the empire." Komura Shoutaro also told Tegaoke that he had learned about Hu Xiaoyan.

The rumbling sound of bombing interrupted Hu Xiaoyan's thoughts. The bombing of the city of Beijing by the airship units began in earnest.

And because the Japanese and Americans were relatively concentrated, the special forces sent by Hu Xiaoyan exposed their positions with fireworks early on.

Time goes back to half an hour ago.

Japanese Army Commander Sotomi Yamaguchi went to the Japanese Legation in China and met with Japanese Minister to Russia and Japanese Minister Plenipotentiary Komura Shotaro of the Gengzi Incident.

"General Yamaguchi, please be seated." Komura Shoutaro still has a lot of respect for Yamaguchi Sotomi.

In either case, it worries Yamaguchi Suchen. Hu Xiaoyan's new army still retains its complete combat effectiveness.

That's why, in the end, the coalition forces stayed in Tianjin for many days, waiting for more reinforcements to arrive.

"Hu Xiaoyan will be the biggest enemy of the empire." Komura Shoutaro also told Tegaoke that he had learned about Hu Xiaoyan.

"Come in." Komura Shoutaro waved his hand, and a mustachioed man in his thirties entered.

The man snorted, nodded and sat down beside Yamaguchi.

Hu Xiaoyan, a British citizen, immigrated to the UK with his mother when he was seven years old. Since then, he has been living in the UK and has become a British citizen. At the age of twelve, his mother died of illness. At the age of 16, he was admitted to University College London (UCL), which was the first British university to admit students regardless of race, religion and political beliefs, and is known as a pioneer in British educational equality. At the age of eighteen, he came to China on the orders of his family to get married. But on the way, he lost his identity and marriage contract, and was kidnapped by bandits. Later, Hu Xiaoyan came to Shanghai and began to publish books, including "The Rise of Great Powers", "The Supremacy of Science and Technology", and "The Impact of Light and Heavy Industry on China's Economy", and he also organized the translation of "Encyclopedia of the British Empire" and dozens of university textbooks at the University of London. At the end of 1898, Hu Xiaoyan met Ye Chengxin and others, and under the organization of Ye Chengxin, he funded the establishment of Shanghai Chengxin University, which is now the first university in Asia! At the end of the same year, he received the support of Li Hongzhang and got the position of premier of the Yamen of the Anhui Mining General Department. In the same year, he traveled to England to buy industrial and university equipment. In 1900, Hu Xiaoyan was appreciated by the British colonial secretary Neville Chamberlain, who not only lent him a loan of 10,000 pounds, but also gave him administrative convenience for the university teachers and laboratory equipment of Chengxin University in Shanghai. In the same year, Hu Xiaoyan went to Germany and received the support of the German Krupp Arsenal to open an airship manufacturing plant with Zeppelin. In the Battle of Tianjin Concession, Hu Xiaoyan used airships to attack from the sky, resulting in the fall of Tianjin. More than 10,000 coalition forces were killed. ”

The mustache took the document and handed it out to Yamaguchi Suchen page by page, while introducing it.

After Hu Xiaoyan was brought to the attention of the Imperial Special High-tech Branch, the Special High-tech sent more than twenty elite intelligence officers to its headquarters Lieshan Town and Suzhou County to investigate. However, at the beginning of the year, all these intelligence officers disappeared, and later investigations concluded that it was the elite intelligence officer 'Lawrence' of the British Naval Intelligence Department who led the team to arrest all the intelligence personnel of the empire in Lieshan and Su County. My country lodges a protest with the British Minister. But Douglas refused on the grounds that Lawrence was directly under British naval intelligence and that he could not intervene. ”

"So we can't do anything about Hu Xiaoyan? And its airship troops, are we helpless about it? Yamaguchi frowned.

The military operations of the airship unit in Tianjin could not be concealed in any way. Tegaoke can notice for sure.

"We have no way, except for British naval intelligence, we also found the figure of the Germans in Lieshan. The intelligence departments of the two countries were stationed on Hu Xiaoyan's territory, and they frantically arrested our intelligence officers, and I heard that Hu Xiaoyan offered a high price, and the head of any imperial intelligence officer could be exchanged for one hundred taels of silver from Hu Xiaoyan. The mustache smiled wryly.

"These are not serious, the army of the empire will not be afraid of any challenge. The point is that Hu Xiaoyan's actions within his territory have seriously hurt the commercial interests of the empire. Komura Shoutaro said solemnly.

No matter how powerful the airship is, it will have to land after the bomb is dropped. As long as the Japanese army took control of the land-based bases, the airships were useless. Although Komura Shoutaro has never really fought a war, he knows an unusually good understanding of logistics.

"Yes." The mustache nodded. "Hu Xiaoyan colluded with British and German businessmen and dealt a devastating blow to our country's commerce. We must strategically guide the coalition forces to attack Hu Xiaoyan in the future! Otherwise, the empire is in danger! ”

"So serious?" Yamaguchi Suchen was a little unconvinced.

"Hu Xiaoyan is just a dog in the UK! My army will teach him to respect the Empire! ”

"No!" Komura Shoutaro shook his head: "You don't know how powerful Hu Xiaoyan is!" ”

"What's so powerful?" Yamaguchi looked at the mustachioed intelligence officer.
