Chapter 13 Buying people's hearts

Today is the second watch, and there is another watch in the evening, asking for recommendation votes, asking for Sanjiang tickets to support ~~~~~~~~~

"Well done!"

Zhang Meng, who was holding a pre-imperial meeting at the Ministry of National Defense, immediately issued an order to commend Shao Yingnan and all the officers and men of the Chong Yu.

The sinking of the ships Tianlong and Longtian did boost the morale of everyone in the Tang Empire, but the next situation will be even more sinister, because they themselves do not like to suffer losses, and they will inevitably retaliate tenfold and hundredfold.

Zhang Meng was not afraid of his own retaliation, because he had already made all the preparations.

At least at the moment, whether it is at the international political level or the military level, the Tang Empire has taken the lead and has an advantage.

International politics is naturally on the side of the Tang Empire, because he fell for Zhang Meng's plan and let the arrogant fool of Kotaro Aso mess up.

The cabinet of Yuyuki Hamaguchi has just announced to the world that it has officially declared war on the Tang Empire, on the grounds that the Royal Navy of the Tang Empire has rudely attacked the warships of the Tang Navy, and the political axe will never allow such a provocation, so it is determined to start a war against the Tang Dynasty.

For this reason, Yuyuki Hamaguchi personally spoke with British Prime Minister Macdonald on the phone. At first, MacDonald didn't know the truth of the matter, thinking that it was the Tang Empire that took the lead in firing as he said, and because of his strong military strength, he couldn't help the Tang Empire speak, so he could only sacrifice the Tang Empire.

But soon the Tang Empire began to fight back.

On behalf of the Tang Empire, Princess Zhang Wei, Minister of Foreign Affairs of the Tang Empire, officially submitted a report to the League of Nations on the initiative of the Navy to provoke and attack the warships of the Tang Empire Navy, and attached the photos taken at that time, as well as the testimony of military attaches and journalists from Britain, France, the United States, Germany, Italy, Austria and other countries, and even the signature of the most influential Christina.

As soon as the news came out, the whole world was in an uproar. The shameless face of the political axe and the military was suddenly known and seen by the people of the whole world, and the facts proved that Yue himself was lying, they peeped into the wealth of the Tang Empire, and intended to invade the Tang Empire.

In the face of ironclad evidence, the League of Nations and the political axes of all countries in the world believe that the Tang Empire is innocent, and that it is the person who deliberately lies and creates false excuses in a vain attempt to invade the Tang Empire. The people of the world immediately felt sympathy for the nascent Tang Empire, and even the accusation against Zhang Meng by the previous political axe was seen as a deliberate slander against Zhang Meng by himself.

For a time, the international community and public opinion all fell to the Tang Empire, pushing the political axe to the cusp.

What is even more serious is that the British and American military attaches were killed by the shells of the ship, and the British and Americans naturally refused to give up, which immediately caused the Hamaguchi Yuyuki cabinet to feel tremendous political pressure.

As a last resort, Hamaguchi had no choice but to order a thorough investigation of the matter in order to delay time.

Unfortunately, Aso Kotaro and his men had already sunk to the bottom of the sea to feed the fish, and he could no longer know the truth at that time, so he could only accept the unilateral testimony of the Tang Empire, which was obviously extremely unfavorable to him.

After all, the Tang Empire is a British protectorate, and the British are very aware that they were forced to choose to back down under the pressure of themselves, because the granting of diplomatic rights to the Tang Empire is equivalent to admitting that the Tang Empire has gained reading power, which has caused a huge impact within the Commonwealth, Australia, Canada, Fiji, India and other local political axes have been seeking independent diplomacy, and they immediately put pressure on the Commonwealth, asking the Commonwealth to give them the same treatment as the Tang Empire, for which MacDonald's political axe is under great pressure.

At this time, he finally found an excuse to fight back against him, and MacDonald immediately put pressure on him, demanding that he and the military must give a reasonable explanation.

At the same time, the antagonistic relationship between the United States and Ben in the Pacific is getting worse and worse. This began in 1898 when the United States occupied Hawaii, and the number of military confrontations between the navies of the United States and the two navies in the Pacific Ocean also soared from an average of two a year at the end of the 19th century to an average of more than six a year at the beginning of the 20 th century, and the duration of each military confrontation between the two sides also expanded from a few hours to more than 10 days and half a month.

For the Americans, they have risen to the top of the world by virtue of their strong economic and military strength after World War I. Britain, the second, could not pose a threat to the United States, and only the third, Britain, became the biggest enemy of the United States at the moment, even surpassing the threat of the Soviet Union. From the Treaty of Washington to the Treaty of London, the Americans actually colluded with the British to bully him and deliberately weaken his military power.

This time, a US military attache died under the guns of the Navy, and the Americans had another excuse. Unfortunately, the Hoover government was faced with the economic crisis that could not solve the mess caused by the domestic crisis, and at this time it was urgent to divert the domestic contradictions, and if he did not put pressure on the American people, he could not explain to the American people, so he worked with Britain to take a tough stance on the country.

Hamaguchi was extremely sad, and under tremendous pressure from the United States, Britain, and international public opinion, he had to ask the military headquarters to recruit Ono Sannori and his Tang Expedition fleet to return to the sea.

However, the military did not buy Hamaguchi's account at all. They have learned that the Tenryu and the Tatsuda have lost contact, and they guess that Aso Kotaro has had an accident, so Ono Sandian's sword has been unsheathed and is about to level the Tang Empire.

At the same time, the military also wanted to oust Hamaguchi Yuyuki, and now that he had made a mistake, he asked for his surname to continue to the end, directly making Hamaguchi Yuyuki unable to explain internally and externally, forcing him to resign on his own initiative.

The military planned to see Yuyuki Hamaguchi's jokes, but they didn't know that they themselves would soon become the laughing stock of the whole world.

July 16 is destined to be the most memorable day since the establishment of the modern navy.

At two o'clock in the afternoon of that day, the Zhengtang Task Force under the command of Rear Admiral Ono Sannori sailed into the Matautu Sea.

The sudden appearance of a fleet of four battle cruisers, six heavy cruisers, six light cruisers, two submarines, and a troop carrier carrying 2,000 troops in the Central Pacific immediately frightened the fishermen of the nearby island nations.

Ono Sannori swore that although he had lost contact with Kotaro Aso, he still didn't take the Tang Empire seriously.

Unable to obtain a safe passage provided by Kotaro Aso, Ono had to seize a Fijian merchant ship and force the owner to take his fleet directly along the international public waterway set up by the Tang Empire for friendly trade with nearby countries, which could reach the Tianmen Port of Chang'an, the capital of the Tang Empire.

However, Ono Sannori did not know that he and his fleet had been secretly under the surveillance of the submarines and reconnaissance planes of the Tang Empire. Moreover, the Tang army had long been prepared, that channel had been covered with mines, and once the battleship entered, there was only a dead end.

But that was only Zhang Meng's last means of saving his life, according to the strategic idea of keeping the enemy out of the country, when the navy entered the combat radius of the Tang Army's bombers, Zhang Meng ordered the only bomber wing of the Royal Air Force of the Tang Empire - the Jinling Air Wing to be dispatched.

At 2:03 p.m., on Yanjing Island, 200 kilometers away from Ono Sannori's fleet, a rapid battle siren sounded over the Qinglong Air Base.

"Attention everyone! Our Yanjing Air Force will start preparing for the flight at 2:05 p.m. and will take off at 2:35 p.m. to carry out combat missions! Repeat, this is not a drill! ”

After hearing the announcement, all the pilots, flight crew, and ground support personnel of the Yanjing Air Force rushed to their planes and posts.

As the first aviation wing of the Royal Air Force of the Tang Empire to specialize in air combat and escort training, although they knew that today was a real battle, they were not under pressure, because the fleet only had 30 carrier-based water reconnaissance planes, and it was obvious that they were not their opponents.

However, the orders they received were all dispatched, because this was a rare opportunity to experience actual combat, and only after experiencing the real baptism of war would they become real soldiers.

According to the order, the Yanjing Air Wing will take off 200 P6E fighters and 100 F11C fighters to serve as escort cover for the bomber group of the Jinling Air Wing that is about to fly over Yanjing.

The Jinling Air Force, which has always been mysterious, has finally appeared, and for all the personnel of the Yanjing Air Force, they have also heard of it in private, knowing that the Royal Air Force of the Tang Empire has a new bomber unit in the Jinling Air Force, but they have never seen it.

Originally, they thought that the Air Force Command would send bombers to blow up and sink two light cruisers yesterday, but in the end, the headquarters was worried that the Tang Air Force would find out that the Datang Air Force had advanced bombers and would affect today's decisive battle.

When there was a dense roar of planes in the south of the sky, they saw the mystery of the Jinling Air Force for the first time with the help of various telescope equipment.

"Isn't this the Sc-1 and the Seal Torpedo reconnaissance aircraft? I thought it was mysterious! ”

"Yes! Didn't the command say that there was an FC-1? ”

Only the most observant will notice that the sc-1 bomber, which resembles the U.S. Army, has actually undergone minor changes.

"This is FC-1! Don't you see that its tail is noticeably different!"

"Yes! What's that extra horizontal plate for? ”

……

"What are you talking about? It's time, and we all go! ”

The commander shouted, and the pilots boarded the plane one after another, and under the command of the ground crew, they were towed by trailers into the take-off runway in turn.

"Southeast wind level 4! It is recommended that the first squadron use runway No. 7, the second squadron use runway No. 9, and the third squadron use runway No. 11! ”

"Understood! Request to take off! ”

"Permission to take off! I wish you a smooth journey and a triumphant return! ”

"Understood! Thank you! ”

"You're welcome!"

Whether it is an exercise or a real battle, the staff of the air traffic control center tower will send blessings to these pilots every time, which has become a habit for them, because they really don't want to see someone have an accident.

With a buzzing sound, 300 fighters full of weapons and ammunition from the three squadrons of the Yanjing Air Force took off on time and quickly climbed to an airspace of 5,000 meters to join the formation of 200 FC-1 dive bombers and 100 seal torpedo reconnaissance planes of the Jinling Air Force, which also arrived on time.

Half an hour later, the two elite units of the Royal Air Force of the Tang Empire completed the air mixture and rushed towards the fleet overwhelmingly.

The prelude to the first real sea and air war in human history began.
