Chapter 63: Project Rising Sun
At this time, where is the Emperor Xiaoming still a little tired and sleepy. The pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info is already full of energy, waiting for Yamamoto Twenty-eight's report.
As a result, several important ministers of the Japanese State did not dare to slack off, and hurriedly explained the current situation.
It turns out that since the beginning of the Restoration of filial piety in the Wa Kingdom, the national strength has become stronger and stronger. These guys have already set their sights on the Shenzhou mainland, which is just across the water!
Although they have long seen through the weak paper tiger nature of the Manchu court, after the outbreak of the Westernization Movement, the overall national strength has actually improved compared with before. After all, the country is small and weak, and it does not dare to act rashly.
Therefore, in the way of slow infiltration, a lot of spies and undercover agents were invested in the Manchu Qing foreign faction and the emerging military forces, including some Chinese - that is, commonly known as traitors!
Among them, the object of the focus on "care" is the Beiyang Sailor who emerged in the Westernization Movement!
In the time and space of Zao Wushuang's previous life, the Beiyang Naval Division, or Beiyang Fleet and Beiyang Navy, was formally established in 1888. It is a modern naval fleet established by China, and it is also the strongest and largest of the four modern navies established by the Qing Dynasty. There are 25 major warships, 50 auxiliary warships, 30 transport ships, and more than 4,000 officers and men......
But in this parallel world, basically the historical process and timeline have completely deviated from the original track. Even the countries of Ah Sange, Indonesian Monkey, and the Philippines no longer exist, and instead the powerful Chinese Divine Kingdom has appeared! Other historical deviations are not difficult to understand.
So the Beiyang Fleet of this world was built very early. It was about the second year of the Dragon God Sect's withdrawal from the seven southern provinces of Shenzhou, and it had already been established. Relying on the Westernization Movement, it is a pity that it has been developing relatively slowly, but it can be regarded as having a scale.
It's a pity that in the second Y** war more than half a year ago, the warships of the British and French coalition used the advantages of flexibility, speed and long endurance. easily broke through the defense line of the Beiyang Naval Division and entered the inland sea area.
It is equivalent to slapping the face of the Beiyang sailor. So since then, I have been working hard and have obtained a lot of lightweight warships from the powers through purchase, lease and other means. Let the combat effectiveness of the Beiyang Naval Division be improved again, at least theoretically, it will not be much weaker than the navy of the Japanese State......
In addition, there are many Chinese anyway, and the Manchu court does not hesitate. Therefore, the Beiyang Naval Division actually has two reserve and auxiliary fleets of traditional sail warships with tens of thousands of people. It can be considered in a sense...... Cannon fodder!
The infiltration program that the Wa Kingdom began more than a decade ago has finally paid off.
The deployment map of the entire Beiyang Naval Division, and even the entire armed force accurate to each warship, and even the drills and diets of the officers and men of the fleet, etc., were all mastered by the Japanese people!
There are even some high-level officials, who have been laid nails one by one by the Japanese people. If you think about it, it can't help but be creepy.
The Wa Kingdom of this world is more ferocious, more forbearing, and more persistent than the era of Zhao Wushuang's previous life. It's also harder to deal with!
Because if the Beiyang Naval Division in the previous life had been infiltrated by the Japanese to such a point full of holes, it would not have allowed the First Sino-Japanese Naval War to be fought so fiercely, and even almost had several chances to win the Japanese State.
"Your Majesty the Emperor, we have successfully controlled the four captains and two deputy captains of the main fleet of the Beiyang Naval Division of the Great Qing Dynasty. and a significant number of middle and lower-ranking officers. Three of the ships were in charge of food and drink, and they were also our people. In addition, there are many people in the auxiliary fleet composed of two traditional sail warships, which are controlled by us. Even the manufacturers of artillery and ammunition for the Beiyang Fleet should be given by the Qing Dynasty Westernization Movement, we have done ......"
Twenty-eight Yamamoto said triumphantly. The other four also showed a look of honor.
And these numbers and information surprised Emperor Xiaoming!
He asked in disbelief, "Could it be that there are so many Chinese who are willing to serve our Great Sun Empire?" ”
Yamamoto Twenty-eight smiled and said, "His Majesty the Emperor doesn't know anything. It is true that some of this is treason thrown into our arms by the Chinese, but there are not so many. The reason why this is so is because the original Rising Sun Project was successful. Very successful! ”
Project Rising Sun?
Emperor Xiaoming was stunned.
When he heard the word, it felt somewhat familiar. It seems that I saw it in a confidential document many years ago, and I discussed it with the prime minister at the time.
Emperor Xiaomei nodded slightly: "Since Yamamoto, you talked about the Rising Sun Project, it seems to have been more than ten years ago, right?" At that time, our Great Sun Empire had just begun the reform movement, and its national strength was rising. Some people of insight have proposed to send the best teenagers in our Great Sun Empire with the highest IQ to deliberately disguise themselves as smugglers or abducted and trafficked child laborers to the Great Qing Kingdom. Then let them pretend to be ordinary people and lurk in various families, and then try to show a talent for reading and doing things, and gradually grow bigger...... That's about what it means, right? ”
Yamamoto Twenty-eight showed a look of respect and admiration.
He bowed and said, "Your Majesty the Emperor is indeed a god! I can remember a confidential document from so many years ago. That's right, at that time, my Yamamoto family was still in the hands of my father, Yamamoto Onoki. It was he who came up with this plan together with the heads of the Toyotomi family, the Tokugawa family, the Tojo family, and the Okayama family. Roughly the same as what you said, Your Majesty. It's just that what you see is already the second batch. The first batch of elites of the Rising Sun Project had already been sent out long before the return of the Great Administration. And these two elites of the Rising Sun Project, many of them were later selected for the government-funded international student program of the Qing Dynasty. They were also sent back to study at the military academies in our Great Sun Empire, making it easier for us to reconnect with them. Ha ha. ”
Receiving this, not only him, but also the rest of Toyosei Ichiyama, Tojo Inu, and others also showed a triumphant smile. Although he tried to be restrained, there was obscene conceit between his eyebrows and eyes.
I believe that if it weren't for the presence of His Majesty the Emperor right now, I'm afraid these guys would have laughed happily and even danced with their hands.
What a perfect plan for thorough penetration!
The Rising Sun Project twice sent out the young elites of the Japanese Kingdom to live and grow up in China under disguise. In the end, he was regarded as a comrade by those stupid Chinese, and even sent back to the Japanese government academy to study at public expense, and then returned to the Qing Dynasty to serve as an important position in the new-style army......
It's simply a perfect lurk and penetration that is hard to identify. It can be said that this is the most successful espionage war in the last few hundred years! (To be continued.) )
