If it had been the 1930s, Li Hui would certainly not have fought the idea of the United States, when the United States had a stronger national strength and a larger population, and more importantly, the aviation force had gradually played the leading role at that time. Because of the unique geographical location of the United States, land-based aircraft from other countries cannot reach them, and attacking the United States can only rely on carrier-based aviation, but in the face of hundreds of thousands of land-based aircraft on the United States, how many aircraft carriers are necessary to have the ability to successfully land on the United States?www.biquge.info I'm afraid that before I get close, I have already been torn to pieces by the overwhelming land-based aircraft group, right?

But before World War I, it was different, coastal defense fortresses were not as flexible as airplanes, as long as the main fleet of the Chinese Navy could seize sea supremacy, ground troops could land on American soil with the support of naval guns, thus creating the possibility of occupying the United States.

However, according to Li Hui's previous estimates, with the development speed of the Datong Party, it is impossible to send a large army to attack the North American continent in the short few years when the technological superiority is crushed, and after a few years, the strength of the US Navy will definitely rise, and if it is dead, there will be two or three times the quality advantage of warships, which is only enough to balance the geographical and industrial advantages of the United States. The reason why there were preparations for the United States at that time was, firstly, because the contradictions caused by Alaskan gold were difficult to reconcile, and secondly, China was far away anyway, and the defeat would not affect the mainland far away on the other side of the Pacific Ocean, so why not give it a try? Maybe it will succeed?

But since he just has the attitude of giving it a try, Li Hui is unlikely to invest too many resources in this, such as the gold panning in Alaska, such as the planned seizure of Hawaii, the former is not a big investment, and the latter is very risky (because this can be done in two or three years, and the US Navy is not strong enough at that time, and they may not have the determination to do it desperately). ), are very conservative in their thinking, and Li Hui always pays more attention to the interests of those who are easier to eat in the mouth around the country.

Now the situation is very different, Li Hui really saw the possibility of conquering the United States, and naturally he was willing to make a greater investment in this regard, and if he needed to make trade-offs, he could even make concessions on other fronts.

Well, at least for the time being, there is no need for this, although the Nanyang battlefield is in full swing, but the scale of the ground forces invested is only 20,000 or 30,000 people, not counting the navy, in fact, it is only the level of a colonial war, and for the huge China, there is not much burden at all. Even if the rebels and potential enemies such as France and Russia are included, the total number of enemy troops will not exceed 100,000, and with China's size, this is still only a disease of scabies.

What's more, it takes time for that agent to be sent to Alaska, and then it takes time to hoard supplies, which will definitely not be completed this year, and then don't think about fighting in winter, how can you wait until the next year after the complete thaw, with the cold climate, it is at least May, and there is still more than half a year before now, when the Sino-British war is likely to be over. But even so, this still made Li Hui's mentality a little impatient, and he was no longer as calm as before in many things.

For example, regarding the stalemate in the Sino-Japanese peace talks, Li Hui originally planned to continue the naval blockade to force the Japanese government to comply, but now he had no patience to wait, and secretly sent an order to the Marine Corps (the establishment of a regiment) that had recently taken over the Yokosuka naval base in Japan, "Since the Japanese are unwilling to demolish the Yasukuni Shrine, then we will do it ourselves!" ”

Because of the fear that Meiji and Yamaprefecture would stop it, the Chinese army's entry into Japan's four major military ports was secretly completed by Ito Hirobumi and Katsu Kaishu using their influence in the navy, and by the time Meiji and Yama Prefecture learned about it, those fortress heavy artillery had already fallen under the control of the Chinese marines, and if they wanted to recapture it, they didn't know how many people they had to die to do it, Meiji remembered what Ito said to him before leaving, and finally suppressed the anger in his heart, and just ordered the base camp to send some additional troops to the periphery of the four military ports just in case.

The Chinese troops stationed in the four major military ports were relatively safe at first, which made the Japanese troops in charge of monitoring them secretly relieved, but in the early morning of August 2, a Chinese force of more than 600 people suddenly walked out of the Yokosuka naval base and advanced in the direction of Tokyo!

The troops in charge of surveillance hurriedly sent a telegram to Tokyo to report to the police, but even Youpeng in Yamayama couldn't understand what this Chinese army was coming, because there were only 600 or so people, and even if the Chinese army had advanced weapons, it would be impossible to defeat a huge Tokyo city.

"Are they trying to raid the palace? And then use His Majesty the Emperor as a hostage to force us to comply? According to his experience, the Chinese army is so many, and there are no artillery, as long as they are not negligent, they will never have the slightest chance.

Even if Ito Hirobumi and they can persuade the Chinese government to give up the demand for punishing war criminals, they will definitely have to take responsibility and step down, and then Sino-Japanese friendship will become the keynote, and I am afraid that I will not have a chance to reuse it until I die, which is more difficult for Yama Yama Youpeng, who has a strong desire for power, than to kill him. And if we can take this opportunity to wipe out all the Chinese troops that invaded Japan and recapture the four major military ports, the army will not only be able to wash away the shame of the annihilation of the Third Division in Mukden, but will also definitely lead to the breakdown of Sino-Japanese peace talks, and as long as the war continues, Japan, which has no navy, can only continue to supply the army!

However, the status of the Guards Division is special, and the current division commander, Prince Nohisa of Kita-Shirakawa Palace, is also an imperial family, and without the Meiji license, Yamaguchi Aritomo is not in command, and under normal circumstances, Meiji will never agree to the army doing this.

After all, Japan is an island country, and if the navy is finished, even if it can win, the essence of Japan's coastal areas will be completely destroyed by the war, which is difficult for Muhito to accept no matter what.

Therefore, Yama Prefecture Youpeng can only pin his hopes on that Chinese army, "as long as Chinese really attack the palace, even if His Majesty is reluctant to bother with the prosperity of Tokyo, he can only fight to the end......"

However, the Chinese army did not attack the palace as Yama County Youpeng expected, but drove towards Kudansaka, and Yama County Aritomo suddenly realized, "It turns out that their target is the Yasukuni Shrine?" (To be continued.) )
