From the night of September 15, 1894 to the dawn of the next day, the American Navy attacked the Pearl Harbor Naval Base of the Chinese Empire. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 ｉｎｆｏ

At 8 o'clock in the morning of the 16th, the Chinese Empire held a press conference to expose to the world the ugly actions of the US Navy in attacking the Chinese Empire, and at the same time issued an ultimatum to the Confederate States of America, demanding that the government of the Confederate States of America give a reasonable explanation within 24 hours.

After Roosevelt got the news, he learned that Dewey had led the main force of the American Navy to attack Pearl Harbor, but the intelligence officers in Ezo Tail did not send back the news, thinking that the Chinese Empire had blocked the news.

Without a radio system, Roosevelt could not contact Dewey's fleet and did not know what the outcome of the surprise attack on Pearl Harbor would be.

However, the surprise attack on Pearl Harbor had already taken place, and in the face of the ultimatum of the Chinese Empire, Roosevelt naturally ignored it and immediately sent a telegram ordering the embassy and consulate personnel in the Chinese Empire to quickly evacuate and flee to the embassy of a neutral country for refuge.

The Chinese Empire had been prepared for a long time, and before the news was released, it was ready to be arrested.

When the personnel of the American Embassy in China fled in a hurry, they were quickly arrested one by one and caught all of them.

When Roosevelt received the news from the embassy of a neutral country, he was furious, and at the same time ordered the arrest of the staff of the embassy of the Chinese Empire in the United States.

At nine o'clock sharp, the Chinese Empire announced that the Confederate States of America had no sincerity, directly canceled the 24-hour ultimatum, and officially declared war on the Confederate States of America, and at the same time carried out a national war mobilization.

When Roosevelt saw that the Chinese Empire had declared war, he was not to be outdone, and immediately ordered Congress to approve the prepared declaration of war. Today's U.S. Congress, which has long since existed in name only, can only obey the dictatorship of Roosevelt, so it quickly collectively approved the declaration of war and carried out a national general mobilization for war.

At 10:15, the Confederate States of America held a press conference to formally declare war on the Chinese Empire.

With the official declaration of war between the Chinese and American governments, the outbreak of the Sino-American war was marked.

At the same time, the members of the Allied bloc also convened emergency meetings.

The German Empire had long guessed that the Chinese Empire might provoke a war in advance, so it began a secret war mobilization half a year ago, and the result turned out to be that the American Navy attacked the Chinese Empire first, which made both Wilhelm II and Bismarck very shocked and angry.

After receiving a written notice from the Chinese Empire, and learning that the Chinese Empire had declared war with the Confederate States of America, Wilhelm II and Bismarck looked at each other, helpless and excited.

At twelve o'clock, the German Empire held a press conference to officially declare war on the Confederate States of America, opening the prelude to the declaration of war by the Allied member states against the Allied countries.

At 2:40 p.m., the Confederate States of America declared war on the Confederation of Colombia and the Empire of Brazil, respectively.

……

Throughout the morning of September 16 to the afternoon of September 17, the content of the major media reports around the world was basically swiped by two words - declaration of war.

The Allied Powers declared war on the countries of the Entente bloc, including the Chinese Empire, the German Empire, the Kingdom of Italy, the Austro-Hungarian Empire, the Ottoman Empire, the Colombian Federation, and the Brazilian Empire.

The Confederate States of America, the British Empire, the Second French Empire, the Tsarist Empire, the Japanese Empire, and the Dutch Republic in the Entente camp also declared war on the Allied member states.

With so many countries declaring war on each other, the people of the whole world are instantly messed up, and it feels like the whole world is in chaos.

But one thing was clear to them, and that was that the Entente and the Central Powers were officially at war, and a world war broke out.

Of course, declaring war and officially sending troops to fight war are two different things.

A declaration of war can be made at any time, it is a political attitude, which means that the two sides can no longer communicate through politics.

And the official start of the war, that is a military thing, and a general mobilization for the national war is required, which will take time.

Among all the countries participating in the war, the only countries that did not need or could complete the national war mobilization were the Chinese Empire, the German Empire, and the Confederate States of America.

The Chinese Empire had already planned and began preparations for war a year and a half in advance, so once war was declared, the Chinese Imperial Shence Army could immediately start a war.

The German Empire was slightly slower than the Chinese Empire, but it had begun to plot a general mobilization for war half a year earlier, so after the declaration of war, the German Imperial Army could also send troops to fight within a few days.

The Confederate States of America were half a beat slower than both the Chinese Empire and the German Empire, but the American Navy was the first to launch a sneak attack and start the war.

In this regard, Roosevelt's IQ and means are on par with Li Weiguo's.

As for other countries, they simply don't know.

If we had to do it in order, the Entente would have known that war was about to break out three days before the Allies. Because three days before the US Navy attacked Pearl Harbor, Roosevelt changed his mind and notified Britain, France, Russia, Japan and other member states in advance.

And the Allies, the Chinese Empire and the German Empire, did not inform them in advance from beginning to end.

However, three days did not have a decisive impact.

Whether it is the Entente countries such as Britain, France, Russia, and Japan, or the allies such as Italy, Austria, and Turkey, if they want to complete the general mobilization for the national war, they cannot complete it in one or two months.

During this period, all countries have to gather troops and materials, this is not the information age, even if it is three days apart, it has nothing to do with the overall situation.

But for the German Empire, there was an opportunity to strike first.

The German Empire secretly completed the general mobilization for the war, so immediately after the declaration of war, Kaiser Wilhelm II gave the order to attack the French Empire first, and at the same time make a defensive posture in the direction of the Tsarist Empire.

The delay in the efficiency of the Tsarist Empire had long been known to the intelligence services of the German Empire in advance, so it was enough for Wilhelm II to deploy an army group on the Western Front to defend against the Tsarist Empire, and concentrate all the remaining elites to attack the French Empire with all their might.

Schlieffen, the chief of staff of the German Empire, had long drawn up a blitzkrieg plan, avoiding the French troops deployed in the direction of Alsace and Lorraine in the front, raiding Luxembourg from the flank, and then attacking directly into the French mainland.

Luxembourg learned in the morning that the Entente and the Central Powers were going to war, and were preparing to mobilize their citizens for defense, but in the afternoon the Wehrmacht was wiped out by the Germans.

In just one day, the Germans captured Luxembourg and then broke through into France proper.

In an instant, the French emperor was stunned.

At the same time, in the Pacific theater.

After the Japanese Empire and the Chinese Empire declared war on each other, knowing that the emperor urgently ordered Ito Sukehiro to lead a combined fleet to return to Sasebo immediately to guard against the attack of the Chinese Empire.

At the same time, the Asian Fleet of the American Navy is also on alert in Edo Bay, ready to go to the Pacific theater at any time to cooperate with Dewey's fleet to control the entire Pacific Ocean.

Until this time, Roosevelt only knew that Dewey had attacked Pearl Harbor, but still did not know whether Dewey had eliminated the main force of the Pacific Fleet of the Imperial Chinese Navy, so he did not dare to be careless, and ordered the Asian Fleet to stay in Yokosuka and wait for orders.

On the high seas close to Japan, the main force of the Pacific Fleet of the Imperial Chinese Navy is still breaking the waves, but the target is no longer Edo Bay, but is diverted and headed straight for Kumano Bay, because the Japanese ship parade was held in advance, and the Japanese Navy Combined Fleet left Edo Bay ahead of schedule and is returning to Sasebo.

The plan could not catch up with the changes, to be precise, the changes were too fast, so Li Weiguo had to give up the plan of a sneak attack on Edo Bay, and chose to intercept the Japanese Navy Combined Fleet halfway in Kumano Bay.

Intercepting and killing halfway is obviously much more difficult than a sneak attack at night, but Li Weiguo has no choice but to scold the Japanese devils for taking **** luck.

The Japanese Navy had to be eliminated, because this was a wild dog at the doorstep of the Chinese Empire, which would bite.

If you cooperate with the American wolf, the consequences will be even more serious.

Therefore, in Li Weiguo's eyes, the Japanese Combined Fleet must be eliminated.

Fortunately, although he missed the sneak attack on Edo Bay, Li Weiguo decisively redeployed and intercepted the Japanese Combined Fleet on the way back at Kumano Bay.

The weather had just cleared and the air was still very cold, but the three seaplanes of the Imperial Chinese Navy were ready to take off, and soon the main force of the combined fleet of the Japanese Navy was discovered eighty nautical miles to the northeast.

Li Weiguo suddenly became excited, he had been waiting for the past few days.

"Battle Alert!"

"All the staff immediately went to combat positions, repeat, this is not a drill!"

The red warning lights were flashing, and the officers and men of the battleship Fury quickly entered combat mode, and at the same time, the officers and men of the other ships quickly entered their respective combat positions.

In just a few minutes, the entire fleet was ready for battle.

The word well-trained is vividly embodied at this moment.

Li Weiguo changed into a special military uniform of the head of state, and accompanied by Li Weijun and other senior generals, he came to the bridge tower.

Finally waiting for this moment, Li Weiguo was excited, he wanted to witness the beating of the little Japanese Navy to the ground, and personally rewrite the history of the First Sino-Japanese War.

"Your Majesty, when the battle begins, please stay in the command tower to be in order."

Li Weijun once again sincerely persuaded.

Li Weiguo shook his head, pointed to the tower above the main mast, and said with a smile: "I am on it, I want to see with my own eyes our cannons sink the Japanese warship!" ”

Li Weijun was taken aback and was about to persuade.

"I have made up my mind, you don't have to persuade you! I insisted on coming here just for this moment, I wanted to see the destruction of the Japanese Navy with my own eyes, otherwise I would have stayed in the palace and listened to your news, why bother? ”

Li Weiguo stopped everyone's persuasion, he was very relieved that the Chinese Empire was now on the right track, and many princes were already adults, even if he suffered misfortune, it would not cause irreparable impact on the empire.

On the contrary, if Li Weiguo could not see the destruction of the Japanese Navy with his own eyes, it would be the regret of his life.

"Of course, don't think I'm taking a risk, I'm safer than you are staying on the mainmast, have you ever seen a cannonball hit the mainmast directly?"

Li Weijun and the others were stunned for a moment, they had indeed never seen a cannonball that could directly hit the tower on the main mast, and the probability of hitting was lower than buying a lottery ticket.

Throughout human naval warfare, there has never been a report of the mainmast tower being directly hit by a cannonball, even if the battleship sinks, or even the battleship is destroyed, the mainmast tower often sinks to the bottom of the sea and will be intact.

Li Weiguo is not untargeted, he has a scientific basis, because the artillery shells fired in naval battles have a large caliber and strong armor-piercing ability, even if there is a probability of one in 100 million hitting the mainmast tower, because the tower basically has no armor protection, the shells will directly penetrate and will not explode, because the shells will only explode when they hit the armor of the battleship after hitting a few hundred millimeters.

Of course, Li Weijun and the others were so frightened that their legs were weak, but unfortunately they couldn't persuade Li Weiguo.

They knew very well that even if they won the Japanese Combined Fleet, even if they wiped out the other side, if something happened to His Majesty the Emperor, their merits would be instantly zeroed, and even from then on, their official positions and titles would be swept to the end, and they would become sinners of the Chinese Empire, and it would be difficult to enter the Martyrs' Shrine after death.

It's a pity that they couldn't persuade Li Weiguo, so they could only cry in their hearts.

Li Weiguo directly climbed the mainmast tower, and the sentry on the tower was also startled.

"Don't be afraid, I'm with you!"

Li Weiguo only said this sentence, but several sentries on the tower were excited and excited.

His Majesty the Emperor, with a body of ten thousand gold, was willing to risk the danger to come to the tower, what a great courage!

The dignified emperor dared to do this, as a small soldier, they had nothing to say, but they were killed.

Li Weiguo stood on the tower, and all the officers and men of the ship could see it clearly and were all excited.

"Long live Your Majesty!"

"Long live Your Majesty!"

"Long live Your Majesty!"

There was a lot of cheers, and even Li Weiguo himself did not expect it.

This time he was indeed pretending to be B, but it seemed to have a very good effect, not only the morale of the officers and men on the Fury was high, but also the morale of the officers and men of the other ships seemed to be instantly exploded after learning about it.

Li Weijun and other high-ranking officers instantly misunderstood Li Weiguo, and they thought that Li Weiguo was encouraging the morale of the army.

Li Weijun picked up the walkie and shouted, "Have you seen it all?" Your Majesty is watching us from a high place, and you will cheer me up, defeat little Japan, and this battle will be won! ”

"Defeat Little Japan!"

"This battle will be won!"

"Defeat Little Japan!"

"This battle will be won!"
