"Mikasa". Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

Qin Lang wanted to laugh unbridled for a while—look, what a funny thing, almost a year ago, he was still worried that the flagship of the Combined Fleet had been wiped out because of his plan...... Of course, the real battleship "Mikasa" has indeed been erased, but the Japanese still have a battleship of the same name - the "Revenge", which originally belonged to the Royal Navy. The battleship has just received its new name in Singapore.

This is good news and one to celebrate; If Vice Admiral Heihachiro Togo, who was appointed commander of the reconstituted Combined Fleet at about the same time that the Revenge received its new name, still chose the new Mikasa as his flagship, he would have opened a bottle of champagne.

In the end, if it still ends exactly like the real Mikasa, then another bottle will have to be opened.

Another bottle must be opened.

In a world where there are already too many deviations from "history", the people, objects and events that remain as they are are precious and should be protected, and someone should record them and them.

Pity. Qin Lang thought. In this world, only one person understands.

It's just me.

He suddenly lost the urge to laugh and became sad. However, this rare emotion only bothered him for a short moment, less than a minute, and then his mood returned to his original state.

His mind also returned to the beginning and his gaze.

Qin Lang stared at the enlarged map on the wall. If Kuroshima had been here, he would have thought that Qin Lang's spies - or else American spies - had infiltrated the upper echelons of the Japanese government and army, because the map was marked with three red markers, two in Inchon and the third in Lushun, and all of them were annotated: the two markers in Inchon were annotated as "Kuroki Weizhen", "First Army" and "Guasheng Waiji", and "Fourth Sentai", while next to the Lushun mark was written "Torpedo Boat Night Attack".

They—the Inchon landing and the surprise attack on Artyū—were the operational plans of the Japanese army, top secret, and even Kuroshima Ren knew only a limited amount of information, not including time, place, or executor.

They shouldn't be on a map of a Chinese-American businessman.

And on that map, there are still secrets that are known to only a very few, either still under discussion, without a definite conclusion, or just getting the results, not yet published and executed: the First Army has not yet been formed, Vice Admiral Kuroki has not yet been appointed by him, and of course Rear Admiral Kuasheng Waiji is not the commander of the Fourth Sentai Force. Compared to the army's battle plan, Qin Lang should not know this information; Even though he always knew a lot of secrets that he shouldn't know, this time he still knew too much.

After all, even if he had one or a few spies in the upper echelons of the Japanese military and government, they would not seem to have been given the opportunity to attend meetings that only high-ranking officials could attend.

However, he had already marked that information on the map, so the only plausible conclusion was that his spies had infiltrated the upper echelons of the Japanese military and government.

If Kuroshima had been here, he would have these thoughts - at first, of course, he would shake his head and try to convince himself, "It's not true"; But soon, he would accept that inference, start guessing who Qin Lang's spy was, and then draw up a secret investigation plan - but Qin Lang just wrote down what he knew.

They are all "history", but now they are not exactly the same as "history".

At least in "history", the Japanese did not send the 1st and 12th Divisions to the Korean Peninsula in advance and let them walk from Busan to Seoul, but now, this has happened, and it was a few weeks ago.

Qin Lang didn't understand why the General Staff Headquarters made this decision, maybe it was just because Japan did not have enough transport ships, so in order to reduce the pressure on transportation, some troops had to be deployed to the Korean Peninsula in advance, but in order to avoid irritating the sensitive nerves of the Russian government, they could not be sent directly to Incheon. However, this was an even greater mistake, and the experience and lessons of the 1894 war were still fresh in our minds, and as an army that relied heavily on "on-the-spot" food supplies, the Japanese army should have minimized the time it spent on the Korean Peninsula, where it was almost impossible to find enough food.

Even in peacetime, the situation would not have changed much, even if North Korean officials and civilians had cooperated and assisted the Japanese army in collecting food with an astonishing obedience.

Faced with such a situation, the Japanese army seemed to have only two options: first, to transport food for the 1st and 12th divisions from the mainland, but in doing so, it increased the pressure on both sea transportation and the logistics of the two divisions; Or, to put the two divisions into a single corps, and then appoint a general named Taketaguchi Ryoya as the commander of this force.

He's the best.

Even in the entire history of Japan, there has not been a general more suited and qualified to command an army that is severely short of food than Lieutenant General Mutaguchi. He could not fill the stomachs of the soldiers, but he would warn those who constantly complained because of hunger that Japanese soldiers with the spirit of Yamato could and had to fight even if they had no food; Then I told them the truth: the Japanese nation has been a herbivorous people since ancient times.

Maybe he's talking about "vegetarian", but what does that matter?

Qin Lang thought contentedly, and then realized that his thinking had once again deviated from the right direction. He had to stop again and start again.

The 1st and 12th Divisions were only advance units. Of course, if there are no accidents, they will all be incorporated into the battle sequence of the First Army. Once again, there was a discrepancy between reality and "history": the 1st Division was supposed to be incorporated into Nogi Noshinori's 3rd Army, landed directly on the Liaodong Peninsula and participated in the protracted and tragic Encirclement of Arthur; The 12th Division has always belonged to the battle sequence of the First Army, but in "history", it was the first unit to land at Incheon.

Two changes, which are not important in themselves, but they will cause new changes: if the 1st Division is integrated into the 1st Army, then the 3rd Army, which has lost Nogi Noshinori, will need a division to replace it. This is a question that Qin Lang is curious about, if the Third Army is still responsible for attacking Lushun, then which division will replace the First Division in that doomed to a protracted and tragic battle? Arthur already has a whole network of trenches, many artillery pieces and ample ammunition, as well as 20,000 mines......

It must be admitted that 20,000 mines is a bit small, and they were all produced in a hurry, and only God knows whether they can be used properly. But the Russians will also get more mines, which will no longer be a product of rush, if not all, reliable, then mostly.

As the attacking side, the Japanese army will not have a good time.

So, who's going to go?

From his point of view, Qin Lang hoped that it would be the Second Division, or the Sixth Division—of course, it would be the Sixth Division. Kumamoto's soldiers were better suited to the new toys he had prepared for the Japanese army than their counterparts in Tokyo, and they were determined, tenacious, brave and obedient to commands, and could charge without hesitation even in the face of hell. Only they can get the most out of those new toys.

In that way, under the command of the officer, the Japanese soldiers, covered with grenades, carrying rifles with bayonets on them, shouted "Long live His Majesty the Emperor" and fearlessly faced the flames of rapid-fire artillery, machine guns, and rifles...... The positions of the Russian ghost beasts launched wave after wave of charges. Bullets swept through the ranks of these brave Japanese samurai like a storm, and the cannonballs fell like hailstones, then exploded, and people in the crowd fell, shattered, and disappeared, but none of this stopped the warriors. When one soldier dies, two soldiers take his place, and the pale Russians can only watch as their valiant opponents approach their trenches, and then they jump in and shout the last slogan with all their strength, while tearing off the grenade's tabs......

No, ideal, and incredible—who would pull off the ring of a grenade as soon as they storm an enemy position, unless they knew they were going to lose the battle? Even if he was a Kumamoto soldier with not much left in his mind other than obedience and fighting, such a thing could not have happened; On the other hand, regardless of whether its opponents were American or Australian, the grouping charge carried out by the 6th Division had not yet been successful, and although the Russian army in 1900 did not have as much firepower, the situation did not seem to improve much.

Moreover, if the situation really improves, the soldiers of the 6th Division will still not pull off the pull tab of the grenade.

They hadn't heard anything about heaven and the seventy-two grapes.

Qin Lang shook his head and decided to put his hope on another new gadget.

A new gadget that Yi Shui hasn't seen yet, the blasting canister.

It has not yet been put into production - not technically, but in terms of raw materials. But eventually, it will go into production, be sold to the Japanese army, and it will catch up with the most intense phase of the Battle of Arthur.

And then......

"Once" there were three Japanese soldiers who made a splash, their names and deeds made newspaper headlines, they were called "Showa Gunga" by the Japanese people, musicians wrote six songs for them, and the film company made five films - and they were filmed in the same month of the same year - although the cause was only a miscalculation of the length of the fuse.

They are the "Three Warriors of Meat Bullets".

Japan needs a new "three warriors of meat bullets", not necessarily three, but Japan needs such warriors, and such warriors will be born; If they can't be born on their own, then someone will help them to do so.

Qin Lang finally burst out laughing.

"Looks like I should have prepared a biographer in advance." He muttered to himself, continuing to stare at the map on the wall.

Now there is only one last question: time.

The time of the outbreak of war.

Japan is ready, Russia is ready, then, when?

Qin Lang pondered, engrossed in his attention, until a phone ringing woke him up.

He picked up the phone, and immediately a rapid, almost unintelligible voice came from the microphone. "I just got the news that the Japanese government has declared war on the Russian government."
