The sunset was sinking, leaving only wisps of afterglow, which evened out the entire sea, and suddenly the 'boom' cannon sound broke the quiet sea area, and several warships flying the moon flag appeared in the distance of the coastline.

On the coastline in the distance, the Yue army, which was resisting the advance of the East China Army, was hit by heavy artillery fire.

The East China Army advanced along the edge of the coast, covered by naval gunboats along the way, and the eleven infantry divisions that landed on Taiwan soon captured large areas.

The six infantry divisions advancing to the south soon reached Miaoli and were advancing towards Taichung.

The East China Army, which was advancing to China, was supported by the people of Taiwan, and a large number of Taiwanese people and ethnic minorities rose up to resist the invaders.

Last year, there was an uprising in Taiwan, but it was suppressed by Yuben, and more than 3,000 people died in that uprising.

During his reign in Taiwan, his policy toward Taiwan was plunder.

Plundering agricultural products, plundering timber, plundering all kinds of minerals, etc., in short, there was no technical surname in this era, but at this time China has entered an era of great explosion of productive forces, and East China's political axe can be used to aid poor countries in Asia, Africa and Latin America in terms of food.

It is said that most of the cane sugar in Taiwan is supplied from Taiwan, and there are factories such as sugar mills that enter mechanized production.

The other is the frenzied plundering of Taiwan's timber, which has been cut down by this time, especially in the beautiful Yushan Mountains and other areas.

In 1894, the First Sino-Japanese War was launched, and the following year, the Qing Dynasty was defeated, and on April 17, it was forced to sign the "Treaty of Shimonoseki", which humiliated the country, and ceded Taiwan to the country. Twenty-two years have passed since 1916.

Twenty-two years have not allowed the people of Taiwan to forget their identity, and since the East China Army landed in Taiwan, the people of Taiwan have enthusiastically joined the sequence of counteroffensives.

The bombing range of the East China Air Force covers the whole of Taiwan, and the East China Army is also building an airfield in Hsinchu, which can be completed in a few days, and then the Heavy Hammer 4 bombers can bomb most of Taiwan, otherwise they can only bomb the coastal areas of Taiwan.

In addition to the bombing and strafing of the air force, there is also artillery support from the navy.

On the army side, there is a steady supply of materials, and there are combat vehicles as pioneers. However, in this landing campaign to recover Taiwan, the number of combat vehicles used was reduced.

Under such a three-dimensional attack, Taiwan's army was defeated and retreated by the East China Army, and the 80,000 army was completely unable to resist.

At the same time, the East China Air Force dropped many leaflets over the Japanese army, and the navy also fired some propaganda bombs.

The leaflet was full of crash landings, focusing on the failure of Yumoto in Shandong and the idea of 'worship of the kingdom' developed by Uchiyama Kojiro.

After studying the relationship between Chinese and Chinese cultures, Uchiyama Kojiro concluded that the instinct to break away from the primitive society was all because of the gift of God. If he angered the kingdom, then he would suffer an unprecedented bad luck. At the same time, Uchiyama Kojiro began to gradually abandon the spirit of bushido, and no longer believed that Emperor Komoto was a god. He no longer believes that he is a descendant of God, but does not hesitate to say that he was originally a very backward primitive man, how can he be a descendant of God.

Uchiyama Kojiro was working on a book, and the Propaganda Department selected some of the contents from this unfinished book, printed it as a leaflet, and handed it over to the Air Force, Navy, and Artillery.

Uchiyama Kojiro's thoughts made many people gnash their teeth, and they spit on Uchiyama Kojiro as a traitor. However, after receiving these leaflets, the disadvantaged Yue Jun slowly wavered in his thinking.

When a person fails, they will look for reasons, why did they fail? Is it really the consequence of angering the kingdom?

Some say they believe it, some say they don't, but the phenomenon of surrender has appeared among Taiwan's Japanese troops, and it is a common phenomenon.

Under the propaganda offensive of the East China Army, after learning the news that the Shandong Army had been defeated and surrendered, combined with the news of the destruction of the United Fleet, fools knew that there would be no reinforcements on the mainland, so this was a war that was bound to be lost, so it was better to surrender as soon as possible.

The leaflet says very nicely, surrender early, go home early!

Only the soldiers who entered the concentration camp knew that it was not so easy for them to return home.

In the concentration camps, there were some people who were abused, but only a few, because labor in the camp was essential, those who were active in labor were rewarded, those who were not active in labor were abused, and there was even a soldier who was released early for good work, but only a few.

In addition, there are many rewards, such as good performance, extra meals, and scoop notes. Bad performance, hungry, whipped.

If you have always performed well, you may be able to release yourself by the time you are forty or fifty years old.

In the concentration camp, Uchiyama Kojiro was responsible for ideological indoctrination, like the army in the concentration camp to propagate the idea of 'worship of the kingdom', and the effect of propagating this kind of ideology in this kind of concentration camp is not ordinarily good, and the discipline of the army itself is very good, and it seems to be easy to brainwash.

Under the brainwashing, the soldiers in the concentration camp began to disbelieve in their own descendants of God, and believed that the citizens of the Kingdom were the descendants of God, and they were only the descendants of primitive people. And they have angered God, and they must atone for their sins by hard work in order to win God's forgiveness...... This is a kind of slavery education, and the concentration camps will instill this kind of thinking in the army repeatedly, and there are all kinds of teaching materials and video materials until they believe it, and they can also use coercive means to force them to believe, and when they keep repeating it, they will naturally believe it.

The war situation in Taiwan is basically without suspense, and the army has no superiority in strength in Taiwan, nor does it have the help of the people, and although it is not a guest army, it has no advantage.

In the afterglow of the setting sun, the naval battle group with two Shihuang-class aircraft carriers as the core is heading for the Yaeyama Islands.

The Yaeyama Islands are part of the Ryukyu Islands, located in the northeast of Taiwan, very close to Taiwan, and are also occupied by the Honsho, where 80% of the population is concentrated on Ishigaki Island.

The navy commanded the landing battle by Zhou Xiulong of the navy, and with the navy dispatching aircraft carriers and gunboats, the marines landed on the Yaeyama Islands smoothly and quickly annihilated the Japanese army on Ishigaki Island.

There are many people in the Yaeyama Islands, not to mention 50,000 or 60,000 people.

On the same day, Zhou Xiulong received an order from the military headquarters to move the people of the island to safety to avoid clashes between the military and the people.

After receiving this order, Zhou Xiulong immediately chose a desert island, and then transferred the people of the entire Yaeyama Islands to the desert island.

Then Zhou Xiulong reported back to the military department and said: "The people of Yueben have been moved to a safe place, but some of the Yueben women are very friendly and want to go to the army to offer condolences. ”

Soon Zhou Xiulong was scolded by the military department, and these women went to the army to offer condolences.

It's just that there is a scarcity of female workers in the country's red-light districts, and these women must be sent back to the country's red-light districts for resettlement.

So Zhou Xiulong had no choice but to send hundreds of carefully selected girls back to China, and the rest of the people were placed on the desert island very friendly.

There is little food on the desert island, and there is an extreme shortage of water.

Soon there was cannibalism on the island, and some people tried to jump into the water and swim away, but they were beaten into a sieve by the patrolling torpedo boats with machine guns.

When the archipelago turned into a Chinese resort after n years, a tourist accidentally came to this remote desert island and saw many exposed bones on the island, and the incident was exposed.

After digging out the files from N years ago, the Chinese political axe gave the explanation: "Some [***] officials did not fully consider the geographical factor of the island's water shortage when dealing with the people of Yueben, and embezzled the supplies supplied to the people, which led to the incident." ”

It can be seen from the order issued by the military headquarters that it is indeed for people to settle these people in order to maintain friendship between China and China. It's a pity that there are repudiated [***] officials.

The efficiency of the East China Army was very high, and it took only five days for those people to be transferred to the island, and only a group of Ryukyuan people remained in the entire Yaeyama Islands.

These Ryukyuan people were natives of the Yaeyama Islands, and the Ryukyu Kingdom was originally a vassal state of China, so some Ryukyuan people who remembered their identities were very excited about the East China Army's attack on the Yaeyama Islands.

The Ryukyus were annexed by the Ryukyu for a much longer period of time than Taiwan, and have been annexed by the Ryukyu for 36 years now, but the 36 years of time also do not allow the Ryukyu people to forget their identity.

The Ryukyu Kingdom has a relationship with the Han people, and in the Ming Dynasty, the Ming Dynasty moved 36 Fujian people to Ryukyu to educate the Ryukyu people, and the Yaeyama Islands were among them.

In fact, there are more than 40 Han Chinese surnames in the Ryukyus, among which the Shang surname is the surname used by the royal family.

The descendants of the Ryukyu royal family, such as Shonori and Shosho, lived in Tokyo at this time, and he gave them nobility and let them participate in the House of Councillors.

However, there were still people with the surname Shang who approached the East China Army and demanded the restoration of the Ryukyu royal family.

The news was reported to Xia Jun, who just ordered them not to pay attention to it, since Ryukyu had been annexed by Yuben, it had lost its name as a country, and now China was at war with Yuben. Since the degree of sinicization is very high, it is just right to join China.

Xia Jun is not interested in restoring the vassal state, these vassal states are occupied by people at this time, and if they want to recover, they must first use force to fight back, since they are all fought back, then it would be good to bring them under the jurisdiction, why let them read their strength.

Therefore, Xia Jun vetoed the idea of the Ryukyuan people to restore the royal family, and let the following ignore it.

When Xia Jun inspected the naval headquarters, he talked about the Ryukyu problem with Xie Baozhang and others, but no one regarded the Ryukyus as a big matter, and after the Ryukyus were recovered, it would definitely be Chinese, and they were no longer allowed to go out.

"Where did the Navy go?" Xia Jun is still concerned about the progress of the navy.

"In two days you will be able to reach the Mariana Islands." Xie Baozhang said, with a high spirit in his words, the navy finally began to develop rapidly, and began to open up the territory, Xie Baozhang was naturally very excited.

Two hundred kilometers south of the Mariana Islands is the US island of Guam, so Xia Jun advised: "Let the navy be careful and not clash with the US navy." But if the U.S. Navy attacks us, then we will fight back. ”

"Yes. Chairman! Xie Baozhang responded.

Now that the entire Pacific Ocean is left with the US Navy and the East China Navy, it is obvious that there is a possibility of conflict between the two sides, especially since the Yankees may now think that they are the bosses of the Pacific Ocean, and they may be able to suppress the Chinese Navy.

"Chairman, I heard Zhou Xiulong say that there are a lot of flower girls on Ryukyu Island!" Xie Baozhang said to Xia Jun casually, Xia Jun nodded after listening to it: "Yes!" It's just the right time to send new blood to our red light district! ”

There are too few workers in the red light district, because women are not allowed to work in this industry, and the red light district is full of foreign girls, but there are not many of them.

However, the situation has improved a lot recently, with China's economic development and the improvement of its international status, plus the Ministry of Trade has taken the initiative to recruit outside, and the safety and interests of these surnamed workers can be officially guaranteed, so the number of foreign girls has increased, but the supply is still insufficient.

The red-light districts in the provinces of East China are officially operated, and they are generally a street, with a single room on both sides, in which there are foreign girls, and the customers choose them, pay the money to enter, and then close the curtains inside. The girl is divided into grades, the higher the grade, the higher the reserve price, and at the same time, the money is calculated according to the time, and the fee will be increased from the reserve price after a certain time.

People who enter the red light district to play must first undergo a medical examination to ensure that there is no surname disease. And the girls inside have to be checked every day, and those with a sick surname can't go to work.

Surname work is a high-risk industry, which is not only threatened by surname disease, but also life-threatening. It is common to go out to accompany customers and then be killed.

In East China, the girls in the red light district can also be called, but whoever summons must register clearly, and find a registrant if there is a problem.

When you come to East China to be a girl in the red light district, there is no threat of surname disease, and there is no danger of being killed, and the income is very good.

Due to the severe crackdown on secret prostitution in East China, people can only go to the red light district opened by the political axe, and the girls in the red light district can receive at least a dozen guests a day, and the lowest reserve price is two jiao each time. You can also get at least 60 yuan a month, which is 30 dollars.

Of course, this is the lowest level of girls. There are more advanced girls, and those girls' service fees are higher, and it is very common to get a few hundred yuan a month. Senior girls can even earn tens of thousands of yuan a month.

Girls in the red light district naturally have to pay taxes, but low-level girls generally don't have to pay taxes, and they have to pay taxes if their monthly income exceeds 100 yuan.

The red-light districts of the provinces generate considerable profits for the political axe on a daily basis, and the exploitation of red-light district girls exists, but only in a proper way, only for the high-income part.

Red light district girls can also enjoy many of the rights of Chinese citizens, and they are also very good in terms of welfare.

What is the demeanor of a great country?

This is called the demeanor of a great country! There are foreign girls all over the country, this is called having face! And this is a robbery of the resources of other countries.

Beauty is a resource at all times, it is undeniable, and it is an extremely important social resource. In order to protect their beauty resources, Belarus began to restrict the exit of unmarried beautiful women.

That kind of free girl can create more profits, and Zhou Xiulong, this guy, snatched a group of good-looking women from the Yaeyama Islands and planned to comfort the army.

This matter was reported and was criticized by Xia Jun for being a bloody dog.

There must not be such a crooked trend in the army, and there can be no condolences? So how many soldiers can a woman condole? And the large-scale deployment of women to offer condolences, isn't that a camp record?

However, Comrade Zhou Xiulong's spirit of making full use of resources in the resettlement of those people in Taiwan was desirable, so the plan for recovering the Ryukyu Islands began to be discussed, and the method for the resettlement of the people of Taiwan was also discussed.

"I think the resettlement method of the Yaeyama Islands is very good, which fully gives the people of the country the surname of independent survival, and can avoid conflicts between the two sides, and can increase the income of the political axe, and the people of Taiwan should also be resettled in this way."

"The attack on the Ryukyu Islands must be carried out quickly, otherwise the Council will begin to strengthen its defenses......"

…… On 13 January, after several days of hard fighting, the East China Army basically occupied the entire territory of Taiwan and captured a large number of overseas Chinese.

There are more than 200,000 people, which is a surprising number. Due to the poor living environment in China, mainly due to monetary tightening and high taxes, many people have gone abroad to make a living.

After being screened, nearly 5,000 girls, girls, and women were sent to Sino-Chinese friendly exchanges, while the rest were sent to desert islands in eastern Taiwan.

The behavior of the East China political axe is very hidden, and it will rarely be discovered by future generations.

On the 13th, the East China Navy blockaded the Okinawa Sea, that is, the Ryukyu Sea, and began a landing battle against the Ryukyu Island.

There are still some remaining forces in the Navy, but the East China Navy dispatched the Shandong and more than 30 destroyers, which is enough to deal with the auxiliary ships of the Navy, not to mention air support.

Under such circumstances, the East China Army began a landing campaign to recover the Ryukyu Islands, and quickly mobilized two infantry divisions from Taiwan to the Ryukyu Islands.

The main thing is Ryukyu Island, which is the largest island in the archipelago, and the resisting Japanese army on the island was successfully landed in the northwest bay under the bombardment of the East China Air Force and the ferocious blow of naval shelling.

The battle was fierce, and the resistance of the Japanese army on Ryukyu Island was very strong, which caused large casualties among the attacking East China Army, but the navy continued to transport troops to Ryukyu, and there was a sufficient supply of war materials.

And it is basically unclear what is happening in the Ryukyu Islands, because the radio is jammed and the sea area is blocked.

…… On the 14th, the ocean-going combat fleet with the Shihuang, Gaozu, and Dingdong as the main forces arrived at the Mariana Islands and launched a rapid attack on the Yue army on the islands.

The Japanese army on the archipelago did not expect to be attacked at this time, and the ships in the Japanese naval base were bombed and sunk at the beginning of the battle.

The two first-generation aircraft carriers, with 100 Seagull 2 bombers, can cover all the enemy within 300 kilometers, and it is simply too easy to deal with the warships anchored at the base.

After that, the Marines launched a landing on the Mariana Islands, quickly occupied the main island, and then conquered the rest of the important islands one after another. With no supplies on the islands and no ships to leave, these troops may starve to skeletons.

Then the ocean-going combat fleet began to sail towards the Caroline Islands, and on the third day after the East China Army conquered the Mariana Islands, the U.S. Guam Navy discovered that the Mariana Islands had been captured by China's East China Political Axe.

The US Navy on Guam is very indifferent to the Mariana Islands, because the U.S. Navy is now fighting with China, so they basically don't take any precautions against the U.S. Navy, and it is completely impossible for them to attack Guam. But what they didn't expect was that China would hit the Mariana Islands.

Upon discovering this, the Guam Navy immediately reported the U.S. political axe.

Upon learning of this situation, the U.S. political axe hurriedly dispatched its navy to investigate the islands occupied by the Pacific Ocean, and as a result, the U.S. political axe received a shocking report that the Caroline Islands and the Marshall Islands were also planted with Chinese flags, and both were occupied by China's East China Navy.

At this time, the East China Political Axe and the East China Political Axe were fighting in Taiwan and the Ryukyu Islands, and no one expected that the East China Navy would stretch out its hand so long.

The landing battle on the Ryukyu Islands also came to an end after five days, and the East China Army basically wiped out the Yue troops on the islands, and only a few Yue troops were still surviving.

At the same time, the East China Navy has blocked the sea lines of communication with submarines and small boats, which has lasted for nearly a week.

It's been a terrible week.

The factory could not get raw materials, and the products could not be sold, and at the same time, the merchant ships were intercepted and confiscated by the East China political axe, and both the political axe and the private capital of the company suffered heavy losses.

The pressure on the political axe in the past week has been very enormous, and the people in the country have expressed a high degree of dissatisfaction with the cabinet.

In particular, after the news leaked about the defeat of the navy and the army, it was like a breach of the embankment, and within a few days the whole country became aware of this incident, and the result could be described as the anger of the whole people.

As a result, Gonbei Yamamoto stepped down, and the new prime minister was Masashi Terauchi, who immediately began to negotiate an armistice with the East China Axe.

"I can't fight anymore, otherwise the people of China may even hit our homeland. I know that our empire will not lose on our own soil, but if the war continues, our national economy will weaken. Terauchi Masaki said at a cabinet meeting: "The best option for us now is to negotiate with the Chinese people and reach an armistice agreement as soon as possible, and it is completely unrealistic to wait for the military intervention of the Entente Powers, and now the Entente will not force the Chinese people to the Allies for the sake of the capital." ”

Terauchi Masatsu's opinion was eventually adopted by the people of Masamu Moto, and he also abandoned any illusions.

Originally, he thought that the British navy would come to help, but now the British navy is indeed here, but it is obviously impossible to have a conflict with China for the sake of the book, and it may just be a matter of sending warships to mediate.

Because the communication in this era is so fast, so the countries are not so smooth in communication, under the request of the political axe of various countries, and the political axe of East China has the intention of surrendering, the political axe of East China has come to the negotiating table.

The negotiations between the two sides took place under the mediation of various countries and took place in Shanghai.

On the very day of the negotiations, the German representative appeared at the negotiating table, and the appearance of the German representative surprised the representatives of other countries.

The fact that the East China Autonomous Political Axe also called the German delegates to the negotiation venue obviously had a certain special meaning.

After all, Ben was a member of the Entente, while China was a neutral country. At this time, the Entente countries were in the early stages, and China naturally had no reason to resist alone.

The meaning is also very simple, if the Entente does too much, then the East China political axe will fall to the Allies at any time.

"Our Chinese New Year is coming, and our soldiers are concerned about how to spend the spring. They said that there were only two options that were acceptable, one was to go home for the Spring Festival, and the other was to go to Pyongyang for the Spring Festival and then to Busan for the Lantern Festival. Zhu Xiaocheng said loudly at the beginning of the negotiations, "It is now the 18th, and it will be the Spring Festival on February 3rd, which makes us feel very stressed, and if we can't end the negotiations within five days, then it can only be a great pity." ”

Five days!

It's really stressful!

At the beginning, East China Political Axe limited the negotiation time to five days, obviously not wanting to argue more at the negotiation table. However, he was also anxious to stop the war.

As soon as the negotiations began, he admitted defeat and demanded an end to the war.

Defeat is different from surrender, surrender is at the disposal of others, while defeat is land cession and reparations. Surrender, of course, also requires land cession, reparations, and more.

Zhu Xiaocheng immediately prescribed the terms of the defeat.

1. Return the 270 million taels of silver that had been exchanged since the Ryukyu Incident in 1874.

2. Compensation for the property worth about 120 million taels of silver that Ben looted in China during the Eight-Nation Alliance's war of aggression against China.

3. Compensate China for 300 million taels of silver for its military expenses on the war.

Fourth: Ben withdrew from Lushun and ceded Korea and Sakhalin.

Five: Ben publicly apologized to China and repented of his crimes.

To sum up, it is said that Ben needs to compensate 590 million taels of silver, worth 468 million US dollars, which is basically 80% of the annual fiscal revenue of the political axe.

At the same time, it is necessary to cede Korea and Sakhalin Island, which is simply a condition that does not allow people to live.

Naturally, this representative will not accept it, and the representatives of various countries have also said that this clause is too exaggerated, especially Article 2, which is the most unacceptable to all countries.

The Eight-Nation Alliance's invasion of China was eight countries, strictly speaking nine countries, and one Australia was not counted. Will China settle the Eight-Nation Alliance's war of aggression against China to other countries in the future?

Zhu Xiaocheng is calm, not impatient, anyway, now that the East China political axe has the advantage, there is no need to be so anxious, the East China political axe can be delayed, but it is said that it can't be delayed.

(To be continued)
