From Foch's point of view, Lanfang's power on paper is indeed no match for Japan. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

Japan had a fleet far superior to Lanfang, which was more than enough to offset Lanfang's land superiority, and Foch was convinced of this.

"Ferdinand, on this issue, I will organize an exercise in a few days, you can participate, but you must keep the content of the exercise confidential, under the premise of the consent of the Ministry of Defense of Lanfang, it is not allowed to disclose it to anyone or forces, even including the French Ministry of Defense, can you do this?" Qin Zhiyuan first said the ugly words in front.

"What about it?" Foch didn't know where he was going.

"Regarding aircraft and warships, I think that this exercise will subvert your understanding, and it will also change the form of war in the future, under the premise that Lan Fang has enough advantages, I don't want it to spread too seriously." Qin Zhiyuan didn't intend to hide too much.

"Qin, Lanfang and France are allies......," Foch bluntly expressed his dissatisfaction.

Although Foch is currently serving in the Lanfang army, he has not joined the Lanfang nationality, and Foch is still French, so he will naturally hold grievances for the interests of France.

"At the right time, I will remind, but not now......" Qin Zhiyuan weighed the gains and losses, and decided to say more, so as not to deviate from Foch: "Japan does not need us to put too much effort into it, and our future enemies are even stronger, so it is very important to have reservations, not against France, but against those unknown factors." ”

Qin Zhiyuan had been in Europe and was deeply impressed by the mutual penetration between European countries, and if the French understood that the battleships were coming to an end now, it would be tantamount to telling the British.

Compared with the Japanese, Britain is the opponent who deserves Qin Zhiyuan's attention.

That's right, although it may sound a little overwhelming, but the newborn Lan Fang is to regard the most powerful country on the planet as his opponent, or at least one of the potential opponents.

Having said that, all countries living in this world are competitors to each other as long as they want to make a difference, and no one wants to stay out of it, including the United States, which favors the "Monroe Doctrine" in the Americas.

"Qin, your current state is not right, your confidence is a little too much, this is not a good thing, as a king, you should think more carefully." Foch still disagreed, and the worry in his eyes was even stronger.

Well, Foch is a more polite way to put it, what Foch really means: boy, don't be too crazy, be careful to hit the south wall!

"When you're done with the drills, Ferdinand, I'm sure you'll change your attitude." Qin Zhiyuan is indeed full of confidence.

Of course, this burst of confidence is based on a clear understanding of the future direction of the war, Qin Zhiyuan knew the development trend of the future war, so he rejected all detours, and minimized the time required to catch up with Europe and the United States.

In Qin Zhiyuan's timetable, there is no place for the Japanese at all, that is, the Japanese are not a threat in Qin Zhiyuan's eyes.

Since it was not a threat, it was necessary to launch a fierce counterattack against the Japanese without giving the Japanese much respite, so at noon on the same day, six Lan Phong destroyers left the home port of Cam Ranh Bay and sailed towards the Strait of Malacca.

Since Qin Zhiyuan organized Cam Ranh Bay, the pace of building Cam Ranh Bay has not stopped.

At present, the workers are basically in place, and the construction work is being carried out day and night, and a small area has been cleared for Lan Fang's destroyers and battleships to station.

As a result, Cam Ranh Bay has successfully become the largest military port in Lanfang.

Although Lan Fang was ready to seize the Japanese ship in retaliation, the result was still unexpected.

For three whole days, there were no Japanese ships in the Strait of Malacca, neither freighters nor cruise ships, which was very unusual and proved that the Japanese seized the "Minnan" deliberately.

At the same time, in the past three days, Lan Fang and Japan have already opened their mouths and launched an all-round tearing war.

Qin Zhiyuan was deeply impressed by the propaganda machine of PLA in another time and space, so it became a press office at the beginning of the founding of the country. After Qin Zhiyuan returned to Lanfang, the Information Office was upgraded to the Propaganda Department, Lance became the head of the Propaganda Department, and Philip served as the editor-in-chief of the Daily News.

Lan Fang's mouth cannon was mainly carried out by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, supplemented by the Propaganda Department.

On the day that the Japanese warship seized the "Minnan," foreign minister Lu Zhengxiang, who had already returned to Lanfang, immediately held a news conference to promptly report the situation to reporters from various countries stationed in Coconut City, and then formally protested to the Japanese side over the Japanese warship's illegal seizure of the "Minnan."

However, the protest did not go smoothly, because Lanfang and Japan have not yet formally established diplomatic relations, so the protest letter can only be forwarded through the French ambassador to Japan, which virtually reduces efficiency.

By the time the protest letter was handed over to the Japanese Foreign Ministry, it was already the next morning.

The Japanese side also immediately held a press conference, saying that this was just a routine inspection by the Navy, because the Admiralty received relevant information on the same day, which was enough to prove that the "Minnan" had carried out smuggling activities in Japanese waters, but when asked about the specific reasons, the Japanese side refused to disclose more information on the grounds that the investigation had not yet been completed.

It seems that Lan Fang has no other way than to start a war for the rude behavior of the Japanese side, and going to war is obviously the last resort, and it will not be carried out unless it is absolutely necessary.

Just when the Japanese thought they had a plan, Lan Fang had already launched an all-round news war against the Japanese side.

In addition to the Japanese media, the media of various countries have expressed great concern about this incident, and they have reported this incident from a seemingly impartial position of "neutrality" with guiding words, and some media have also intentionally or unintentionally attached the comparison of the naval strength of Lan Fang and Japan, which gives people even more the feeling that the Japanese are bullying others.

The Times was the harshest of them, with the front page headline "Who are the accomplices of those dwarfs?" The article bluntly said that if the current government does not dissolve the "alliance relationship" with the Japanese, then the great British Empire will become an accomplice of the Japanese and will be reduced to a disgraceful party in this farce.

At this time, it has been less than a year since the end of Europe, and many people in Europe have a good impression of the Foreign Legion composed of Chinese, but they have no good impression of the Japanese soldiers who have frequently appeared in scandals.

Lloyd George tried to maintain relations with the Japanese, but now it seems that the general trend is irreversible, so the British Parliament passed the bill of "ending the Anglo-Japanese alliance" as quickly as possible, officially declaring the alliance between Britain and Japan to be obsolete.

In fact, on the same day that the British announced the termination of the "alliance" with the Japanese, the British Parliament announced that it would provide Japan with a loan of about 50 million pounds for Japan to purchase supplies from the British.

This is not good news for Lan Fang, fortunately Lan Fang and Japan have not yet started a war, otherwise this behavior of the British would be equivalent to a capital enemy for Lan Fang, which will lead to a rift in the "friendly" relationship between Lan Fang and the British.

The British decisively terminated the "Anglo-Japanese alliance," and I am afraid that even the Japanese did not expect that the cannon was useless, and that it was useless only because the degree of recognition was insufficient, and when a country that was widely recognized by the Western society did not use the cannon with a mouthpiece, it would still play a considerable role.

While Lan Fang is talking about cannons, she is also entrusting France and the United States, as well as Britain to mediate, no matter whether there will be a war or not, let's get people out first.

At the same time, a war of public opinion against Japan was also underway, and this was not the "Minnan" as the main thing, but the "Japan has been abandoned by the whole world" as the center, and began to attack the Japanese government.

This is another bombshell for Japan.

In fact, in a small country like Japan, their citizens are sensitive and inferior.

If Japan and the Republic of China are on the verge of war, when Japan's national strength is superior, they will naturally burst with confidence, and they will do their best to show their superiority, all kinds of map guns, all kinds of bottom lines, to show their optimism.

But when the Japanese face Western countries, the people of this country are also extremely inferior, they will be so inferior that they can't raise any confrontational emotions, and they will wholeheartedly be grandchildren to prove that they have the ability to be grandchildren.

So when the news of Japan's abandonment by the whole world began to spread in Japan, it coincided with the announcement of the end of the "alliance" between Britain and Japan, so all the Japanese became message communicators, and the news spread to the whole of Japan in a very short time.

When all the Japanese were talking about the news, "rumors" were no longer just rumors.

What is especially unacceptable to many Japanese is that Lanfang is just a newly-born country dominated by Chinese, and it is inconceivable that Western countries have collectively abandoned Japan for the sake of such a country.

You must know that after a series of victories in the First Sino-Japanese War and the Russo-Japanese War, many Japanese people believe that they have broken away from the level of Asian countries and began to join the ranks of the Western powers, and now they have been collectively abandoned by the Western powers just for the sake of Lanfang, which makes the Japanese feel that their self-esteem that has just been established is particularly damaged.

As a result, when the Japanese had nowhere to spill their anger, the Japanese government became a punching bag.

In this situation, the government will definitely have to pay most of the responsibility, so why should the prime minister resign? Why is the cabinet going to be reorganized? Shouldn't anyone in the Admiralty come out and explain why the "Minnan" was seized in the first place?

In mid-September, the Japanese government, which was beleaguered at home and abroad, announced the release of the crew of the "Minnan," which had been detained for 10 days.

And when the Japanese government announced the release of the crew of the "Minnan", Lan Fang began a vigorous large-scale production campaign.
