Chapter 191: Landing in Hsinchu and blocking Japan's communication lines

This so-called forceful military intervention means that the Entente countries send some naval forces and even rent some warships from the United States.

It is said that the main weakness of this political axe is the navy at this time.

However, the East China Navy is very weak, and if the Entente sends some main warships to support Korea, it will be able to repel the East China Navy as long as the Entente sends some main warships, and the biggest air threat, Chinese planes, do not seem to be able to fly that far!

The idea is silly and naΓ―ve!

At this time, the East China Political Axe did not attack the sea lines of communication of Yuben, and at the same time did not send planes to bomb the mainland of Yuben, but only let Yuben take a good breath and mobilize more troops to the front line to go to the whetstone of the [***] team.

To the delight of the Allies, the Allies agreed to the naval support of the Axe, and Britain would send five battleships and six battle cruisers to the Far East to support him.

"As long as these warships arrive in the Far East, we don't have to worry about the safety of the sea lines of communication in our empire, then we don't have to be so passive in negotiations."

In their opinion, the reason why the army will lose is because of the blockade of sea lines of communication.

As long as the sea lines of communication are not blocked, how can this army be defeated by the [***] team, it is really ridiculous!

But the political axe really didn't want to fight anymore at this time, because the Shandong War had already caused heavy losses to the book, but they felt that they had to fight, otherwise they would be very passive at the negotiating table.

Therefore, from the point of view of the top and bottom of the political axe, the Korean War still has to be fought.

But soon, something happened that made the people feel extremely regretful. In the early morning of 9 January, Taiwan suddenly sent news that the East China Army had suddenly landed in Taiwan in the vicinity of Hsinchu.

This news suddenly made the Masato fall into a petrified state, and Yamamoto Gonbei shouted in disbelief: "Aren't the Shina people going to attack Korea? ”

"This is the voice of the people of China! We've been tricked. ”

…… It was not anything else that made the British agree to support them before they could reach the Far East, and the war began again when the East China Army suddenly turned around and attacked Taiwan.

In the early morning of 9 October, the East China Navy and the East China Air Force, in close coordination, successfully sent three infantry divisions to Taiwan.

The landing site is in Hsinchu, northwest of Taiwan, which has a special topography, with continuous mountains in the east and large plains in the west.

Since last year, the Military Intelligence Bureau has been collecting water ripples and coastal conditions in Taiwan, and finally selected Hsinchu, a location where the army's defenses are weak.

Although the defense was weak, the army still arranged some fortifications on the coast.

At the beginning of the landing, the East China Army first dispatched its air force, using heavy hammer 4 bombers to carry out a heavy bombardment of the beach, and the naval gunboats also tilted a large number of shells on the coast.

The three infantry divisions that rushed to the beach in rubber boats were not blocked by the sky, and the remaining fortifications on the beach were quickly solved by flamethrowers.

These flamethrowers can often receive miraculous results on the battlefield, mainly because the army does not know what kind of unit it is, so they do not carry out key strikes.

The average lifespan of a flamethrower on the battlefield is only five minutes! Armies familiar with this class will focus on the flamethrowers in the first place, and a single bullet hitting the gas barrel they carry will cause the flamethrowers to burn into a large fireball on their own.

Many soldiers shy away from this weapon, preferring to fight with a pistol.

After the three infantry divisions landed on the coast of Hsinchu, they quickly advanced to Hsinchu and conquered Hsinchu in only two hours.

But there are also a lot of two devils in Taiwan, and many of these two devils have received the enslavement education of Yuben, and they are very resistant to the sudden appearance of the [***] team.

The three infantry divisions of the first echelon asked for their heels at Hsinchu Station, and the nine infantry divisions of the second echelon began to land in Hsinchu, and in order to recover Taiwan, the East China Political Axe invested a total of eleven infantry divisions.

Taiwan said that the original was about 80,000, and the strength of 11 infantry divisions was enough to solve the problem, and the most important thing was to gain a firm foothold in Taiwan, so the three infantry divisions did not rush forward, but built fortifications on the spot, and the second echelon behind them landed on the beach one after another, and the East China Army completely gained a firm foothold in Taiwan.

Immediately, the East China Army divided into two routes, one to the south and the other to Taipei.

The next day, the news of the East China Army's attack on Taiwan appeared on the front pages of China's major newspapers, and upon learning of this news, the people of the provinces knew that the war was far from over.

What China wants to take back is far from being taken back.

Since Taiwan was ceded to Yuben, the island of Taiwan seems to have disappeared from China's territory, and today, China is about to recover Taiwan!

"Taiwan! Taiwan! Reclaim Taiwan! Long live China! ”

The people shouted slogans, and the national morale was very excited.

This is different from when the war first broke out, when China seemed to be at a disadvantage, and the people were angry. At this time, Yueben was defeated by China, and it was almost completely defeated, and the people no longer took Yueben seriously, so now it is excited.

The well-known figures in the newspapers were even commenting on the next move of the East China Army, and some people said: "After we take back Taiwan, we should also take back the Ryukyus." ”

The Ryukyu Islands were later known as Okinawa.

Later generations said that the disputed issue was the Diaoyu Islands rather than the Ryukyu Islands, which were located in the southern part of the Ryukyu Islands.

It is obvious who this island belongs to, because the Ryukyus themselves belong to China, and the Ryukyus still want to reach out to the Diaoyu Islands when they get the Ryukyus.

The discussion of recovering the Ryukyus was very hot, Xia Jun did not pay attention to it, the navy had already formulated a battle plan, and the navy would attack the Caroline Islands, the Marshall Islands, and the Mariana Islands.

As for the Ryukyu Islands, this cannot be run away, and it can be put aside for a while, and the strategic base of the Navy is crucial.

Under the circumstance that the political axe of East China is attacking Yue on a large scale, the situation in China is undergoing obvious changes.

The Republican Party, which was dissolved by Yuan Shikai, began to come to East China to form a new Republican Party, led by Cai Yi, who established the 'Unified Republican Party', with Liang Qichao as the chairman of the United Republican Party and Cai Yi as the vice president.

Cai Ye is the chief disciple of Liang Qichao, and both of them are the pillars of the Republican faction, and this Republican Party developed from the constitutionalism.

At this time, the constitutionalist faction had gradually died out, and celebrities such as Liang Qichao and Kang Youwei in the late Qing Dynasty began to switch to the East China political axe, or rather, to enter the system, and establish a new political party to coexist with the Baxing Party, or there was still a sense of competition.

In the past, there was only one Baath Party under the East China political axe system, and there were also some non-party parties, such as the Labor Party, which were not involved in politics, but were only established to maintain the order and interests of a certain group.

At present, the policy of the East China political axe is to allow other political parties to exist, but the restrictions are more severe than those of the Beiyang political axe.

In order to establish these political parties, it is first necessary to recognize that the provinces of East China are united political axes with the 'Baath Party' as the ruling core, and that the other parties have the right to speak, supervise, and some votes, and the amount of executive power is decided by the Ba'ath Party.

The East China Political Axe is a local surname Political Axe, so this kind of clause can only be recognized by other political parties by pinching their noses, and they have nothing to do about it. Who made this a political axe of a local caste! Since it is a local political axe, then they can completely avoid going through those procedures. You want power, talk to the central government! Don't come to us for the East China political axe!

This kind of policy has existed for a long time, but there are no parties sent to the provinces under the rule of East China to join in the fun, and they are all making trouble in the parliament of Yanjing!

Yuan Shikai designated the Kuomintang as a chaotic party and dissolved the National Assembly, which made it completely impossible for those parties to find any power or gain any benefits in the central government.

The performance of the East China Political Axe at this time was eye-catching, and it was obvious that the Beiyang Political Axe had been completely suppressed, so those parties began to run to the East China Political Axe.

Stand in line!

It's always right to stand up early, as for whether you can get a piece of the pie when East China's political axe dominates the world in the future, it depends on your ability and ability.

Many politicians who couldn't get along in Yanjing came to Hangzhou, and they could be regarded as experiencing the stinginess of East China's political axe.

The East China political axe didn't give them a dime, which made many politicians feel annoyed, and the chairman didn't know how to win people's hearts at all!

Facts have proved that except for a few parties, such as the United Republican Party, which can still get benefits, other political parties are not taken seriously by Xia Jun.

Cai Ye ceded Sichuan, and his unified Republican Party was naturally beneficial. Tang Jiyao also joined the United Republican Party, which became the second most powerful party.

The United Republican Party has politicians, there are military personnel, and there are military. Both the Dian and Sichuan armies are under the control of the United Republican Party, so they have become the second weaker party in China than the Baath Party.

Of course, compared with the Baath Party, the strength of this second party is very different, it is simply 108,000 miles away, and Xia Jun is not so easy to match in terms of military power.

Although the Yunnan army was under the command of Tang Jiyao and the Sichuan army was under the command of Cai Yi, the soldier's thinking was to be unified with the soldiers of the eastern provinces of China, and Xia Jun still promoted his personality cult in the army.

At the same time, the Yunnan Army and the Sichuan Army expanded their troops, and the grass-roots officers were definitely assigned by the East China Military Academy, and most of the officers of the Yunnan Army and the Sichuan Army were unqualified, and they had to enter the East China Military Academy for further study before they could be transferred back to the army.

With the grassroots officers and grassroots soldiers under control, it is difficult for the United Republican Party to make any outrageous moves, and Xia Jun still firmly grasps the military power in his hands.

The so-called political power from the barrel of a gun should be said to be -- out of the barrel of a gun is a talent, and only the concentration of military power can allow Xia Jun to play more freely.

Even if it is a unified Republican Party, it has no executive power at this time, only the power of supervision and some decision-making powers, but many things in East China's political axe are not resolved.

Many of the resolutions of the meeting are not about politics and military affairs, but are mostly about construction and some decrees on customs and ethics.

Today there is a debate over whether to repair toilets, and tomorrow there is a debate over whether to promote equality between men and women and what policies to order.

A lot of things were worked out within the Ba'ath Party, and it wasn't the turn of the United Republican Party to intervene.

Who made the East China political axe a local surname political axe! The real center is the Beiyang political axe! Wouldn't it be contemptuous of the central government to create a parliament or parliament like the central government?

Those politicians can only feel helpless about this, and only then did they realize the power of this 'local political axe', with the protective layer of this local political axe, Xia Jun's guy can be honest and honest.

You want to cook openly, find the center! What are you looking for us to do with a local political axe! Is!

Because of this protective film, Xia Jun doesn't need to bird those politicians and celebrities in the opposition at all, anyway, they make trouble for them.

The East China Political Axe is a well-established political axe, and the interior has been managed by Xia Jun as strong as an iron bucket, where does he have to spend money to bribe these politicians from Yanjing like Yuan Shikai.

When Yuan Shikai was the emperor, most of these guys received benefits from Yuan Shikai.

The coldness of the political axe in East China and the strong institutional barriers make these politicians of foreign parties feel very uncomfortable, and even their methods of fooling the people on the street are not so good.

East China political axe is vigorously developing education, the people's cognitive ability is rising, and the Baath Party has established a glorious and majestic image in their minds, these latecomers have been difficult to achieve any status in their minds, watching them dance one by one on the street to speak, like watching monkeys, and then indifferently go to work, and many people are not even interested in watching, now time is very precious, so many things to do!

Although many things make those partisan politicians feel depressed, they can't leave when they come to Hangzhou.

Under the management of the East China political axe, the economy of the eastern provinces is developing rapidly, especially these coastal cities, with their geographical advantages, so they appear to be more prosperous.

Not only are the coastal provinces prosperous, but the inland provinces are much better than Yanjing in terms of spiritual outlook, and the quality of life is not comparable to the areas under the rule of the Beiyang political axe.

Let's talk about the problem of eating! In the provinces of East China, the price of agricultural products is very low, and the supply is sufficient, so there is no problem if you want to eat big and fat.

Food, clothing, housing and transportation, the quality of life in all aspects far exceeds that of Yanjing, and many politicians can't leave when they come, and they are gradually accustomed to the environment under the rule of East China's political axe.

At the moment when the East China Army landed in Taiwan, these opposition politicians were also waving their flags and shouting, and they frequently commented in the newspapers, which meant to point out the country.

After the successful landing of the East China Navy in Hsinchu, it immediately carried out a naval blockade of Taiwan and blockaded the Taiwan Strait, and all passing ships must be inspected.

At present, the possibility of a large-scale war with Yuben is very small, so the main purpose of the East China political axe is to make the political axe of Yuben submit, which must pinch their lifeline!

What is the lifeblood of Ben?

Sea traffic, of course!

It is an island country, and after the outbreak of the First World War, many European capital ran to invest in it, and this was a golden age, although it was overwhelmed by the commercial competition with China, but the economy of the city still seemed to be prosperous.

This booming economy was followed by the collapse of the Combined Naval Fleet, and a huge crisis was hidden.
