At 1:23 a.m. on March 9, 1912, Chen Zhong received a report from the Hainan Fleet that the Hainan Fleet of the Chinese Empire was torpedoed by submarines of unknown countries near Manila. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo.dt

The enemy is not alone, and the enemy is lonely

Two transport ships of the Hainan Fleet were damaged by torpedoes, and the submarines attacking the Hainan Fleet immediately escaped from the South China Sea.

In the course of pursuit, the Hainan Fleet entered the US military's maritime defense zone, and the US military refused to assist the Hainan Fleet in its inspection. The Hainan Fleet requested instructions from Beijing.

The enemy is far away, and the only grandson hates to catch the feather

After receiving the information from the Hainan Fleet, Chen Zhong immediately convened an urgent military meeting.

Ten minutes later, Su Qun of the Military Intelligence Department sent top-secret information, which had confirmed that the submarine was a British submarine that had entered the South China Sea under camouflage to create the false impression that the Hainan Fleet transport ship was attacked by the US military.

Lieutenant General Chen informed several generals at the highest level of the military of this top-secret information at a military meeting.

For a while, they could not figure out whether this information was true or not, and more people believed that the intelligence department's information was wrong.

However, the Minister of Military Intelligence has verified that this information is true.

Chen Zhong said: "There is only one possibility, and that is that Britain and France want to provoke a war between us and the United States. ”

Prime Minister Xiao Yang said: "Your Majesty, we cannot fall for the British, who sincerely want to provoke us into war with the Americans and distract us from the Russians in North Asia. ”

Chen Zhong pondered for a while and said: "We should fall for this, and take advantage of this incident to directly declare war on the US military and drive the US military out of the Philippines!" ”

Zhou Zhiguang said: "Well, the U.S. military in this area of the South Seas has long been in the way of our business, pulling them out, it was just one less excuse before, but now it's just right, follow this excuse, kill the U.S. military!" Occupy the Philippines! ”

The military top of the Chinese Empire, in response to the incident in the South China Sea, decided to start a war against the United States and shelled Manila.

The hatred of the Yuanke complex is the cold party of hatred

At 3:29 a.m., Chen Fangzheng, commander of the Chinese Empire's navy, ordered the Hainan Fleet, the Marine Corps of the Hainan Fleet, and the Hainan Ship to launch an attack on the First and Second Submarine Fleets, the Hainan Fleet's maritime aviation units, and the US South Pacific Fleet stationed in the Philippine Military Port.

Ten minutes later, Washington received information that the Hainan Fleet of the Chinese Empire had attacked the Philippines.

At the same time, he apologized to the Chinese Empire for cooperating with the Chinese side in investigating the real culprit, and asked the Chinese Empire's navy to immediately stop the war.

However, when the United States met with the ambassador of Huaxia, at 5:57 a.m., it received news from the Philippines that the troops of the Huaxia Empire had captured Manila.

Washington was in an uproar, strongly protesting against the Chinese Empire, and the United States was calling for war against China.

The British and French secretly met with the U.S. ambassadors to the two countries to urgently discuss the South China Sea.

At the same time, in the Winter Palace in St. Petersburg, the capital of Russia, Tsar Nicholas II of Russia was holding an urgent military meeting.

Nicholas II said: "At present, the Chinese Empire has been at war with the American army in the South China Sea, and this is a good time for us, and we should cooperate with the Japanese to jointly deal with the Chinese Empire."

Every day the Chinese Empire exists, we have one more day of threat. The Japanese and Americans were similarly contained in the Pacific by the Chinese Empire, which was our common enemy.

The German army on the Western Front is also intensively preparing for war, and we will face a two-front battle.

In Germany's current situation, it will take some time to be ready, so this is our opportunity to go to war with the Chinese Empire at this time. ”

Russian Finance Minister Witte said with a sad face: "Your Majesty the Emperor, if there is a war with the Chinese Empire, we are afraid that it will be difficult for our funds to deal with it." ”

War Minister Korrowsky said: "Your Majesty the Emperor, with the current size of our army, it is simply not possible to cope with the powerful army of the Chinese Empire.

According to reliable sources, the army equipment of the Chinese Empire is also the world's first-class. Not only were they twice as numerous as our army, but they were also armed with mechanized equipment to almost every army group.

So, if we had some confrontation with such an army in North Asia, I could have predicted the outcome at once. It is simply impossible for us in Russia to win this war. ”

Admiral Minister Makarov said: "Our navy should be strengthened, because it is very difficult for us to hold the Vladivostok military port with our old warships."

Our Russian navy needs to add some giant battleships, and the navy of the Chinese Empire is no longer what it used to be. If we don't adjust, we will repeat the mistakes of the Russo-Japanese War. ”

After listening to the words of several ministers, Nicholas II said: "I also know these things, but the country is currently in turmoil, the economy is in depression, and our military budget is tight!"

The British and French promised us a huge sum of money in aid to Russia, and yesterday it was in place.

With this huge amount of money, the financial pressure on our Russian Empire will be somewhat improved, and there will be more funds that can be used for the rearmament war.

Originally, the funds were for the construction of naval warships. However, if this money is to be used for the Navy, it will take an extremely long process.

Now, we are about to go to war with the Chinese Empire, and it is imminent. If, now it is too late to start building warships of the Navy.

Moreover, even if all this huge amount of money is invested in our Russian navy, it will be impossible to catch up with the navy of the Chinese Empire.

It was in Eurasia that the land forces decided the final victory. If we had an incomparable army force, our great Russia would dominate the entire Eurasian continent!

Therefore, I think we must expand our army units as soon as possible, and all this money should be invested in the construction of the army! ”

War Secretary? Gorrosky said: "Your Majesty the Emperor, our army is even a soldier who has been transferred to the reserve army, and it cannot be compared with the army of the Chinese Empire.

Also, in terms of heavy weapons, we are decades inferior to the army of the Chinese Empire. Therefore, on the Eurasian continent, the army of our empire is far inferior to the troops of the Chinese Empire, and even in Europe, we are also a grade inferior to the army units of Germany. ”

Nicholas II said: "Ministers, at the moment we in Russia are facing a serious test. We must immediately get nervous, the German Empire and the Chinese Empire will be a war to the death with us Russia.

We don't have time to think about it anymore, and in order to win more time and space for our great Russia, we will first expand the size of our army and fight to the death with the Chinese Empire and the German Empire on the Eurasian continent! ”
