The Sixth Division was finally settled, Umezawa Michiji is a very patient person, no matter what, if it comes, it will be safe, and if you want to come to Kamio Mitsutomi can hold it, and add the Sixth Division, it must be impregnable, but Umezawa Michiji doesn't know that the reason why Kamio Mitsutomi's department can defend it is not how well his fortifications are built, but that the northwest doesn't want to attack at all, if you want to attack, let alone 30,000 people, 50,000 people have also bulldozed.

If Umezawa Michiji knew that even the 15-inch guns in the northwest were massive, and he also had super airships and even airplanes, he would not think so, the air force has a natural advantage over the army, not to mention that there are a large number of large-caliber artillery, even if the army can't use too much, in the case of movement, it is at most 210 mm, the strategic firepower of the first army's group army, but 24 210 and 64 155, the firepower is perverted to the extreme, not to mention 24 30-ton airships and thousands of aircraft.

Because of Germany's blitzkrieg against Belgium, the airship produced a revolution in Europe, and the whole world, most of the powers, have begun to enter the era of airships, the number of airships built is calculated in hundreds, for countries that have entered industrialization, completed all scientific projects, and have a huge industrial base, it is easy to enter the era of airships, just as it was to enter the era of dreadnoughts.

However, for Japan, it is not well-informed, and it does not know the changes in Europe at all, and at most it understands the purpose of some airships, and it is not yet detailed. Besides, there is no way to know it, with the Japanese heritage. They were able to choose only one aspect, developed above the Navy. Everything else has to be abandoned, in fact. In addition to the equipment of the navy, Japan has always been able to keep up with the world trend, and even slightly surpassed, the Yamato-class in World War II is the world's largest battleship, although the combat effectiveness is debatable. In other respects, it is much weaker, and the army weapons, among the several powerful countries in World War II, are the worst. Not to mention such a joke as the Xiaodouding tank, the basic equipment, whether it is a Type 38 rifle, or the so-called crooked handle and heavy artillery, can almost be said to be useless, not to mention the aircraft, it is easy to make a Zero, but it sacrifices the protective performance, once the other party is familiar with it. With other advantages, it is almost a complete explosion, and he has no status at all in the later stage.

Either way, they were in the encirclement. The Northwest didn't plan to do anything to them, since they wanted to come in, they would just surround it. According to the battle plan in the Northwest, the focus is still on the Texas side. There is also a line of Jiaozhou Bay close to Bohai Bay, and the Second and Third Armies are the main forces. In addition to encircling more than 50,000 Japanese troops in the First Army, the rest is the general reserve, which should be relatively comfortable.

There has been no change at all on the Qingdao side, except for the battery to shoot a few cannons and drive away those escorting fleets, that is, the Sixth Division landed, and the rest, what should I do, the entire defense line has been completely completed in about a week, and the production and construction corps of the three armies have also turned to Qingdao, and the propaganda of the propaganda team has increased Qingdao too many personnel, although some buildings have been built before, but the gap is increasing, and they are building houses and various factories day and night, and among the things transported from the Northwest RailwayThere are fewer and fewer military ones, and more and more civilian and various types of machines.

At the moment of the war, the northwest remained calm, even if there were tens of thousands of Japanese troops not far away, Qingdao's planning was still carried out in an orderly manner, more than a dozen or even hundreds of different factories were put into use every day, and the training of workers was in full swing, Qingdao will be built into a large industrial zone on the basis of the shipyard.

The northwest side calmly developed Qingdao, on the other hand, the Japanese side, after getting the first-hand information of Qingdao, set off an uproar, and hurriedly rescued, but found that it was a trap, in the dispute between the navy and the army, it was finally decided to speed up, although the 18th division and the 6th division have no problem for the time being, but after a long time, it may not be, and now the supply is enough for two months, but the army besieged by the regiments may not be able to hold on, and the long-term defense will be lost, which is certain, in case the two divisions are defeated, Even surrender, which was another huge blow to Japan.

The 18th Division was not rescued, but fell into another division, and Japan informed Britain and France of the situation while the army was preparing, although it did not clearly express the meaning of protest, faintly with this point, the destruction of the first combined fleet was more or less related to the retreat of Britain and France, and the fall of the 6th Division was also a little related to the fact that Britain and France did not support much intelligence.

The mentality of the Japanese, the British and French ambassadors were clear, did not reply to them directly, but inquired in detail about the battle situation in Qingdao, especially the situation of the battle with the Northwest Army, when I heard that the strength of half a division, encountered about 3,000 people on the other side, and confronted it head-on, did not break through the opponent's position, but was defeated by the other side, at this point, the ambassadors of the two countries nodded slightly, the combat effectiveness of the Japanese permanent army is really not high, but the eighth and ninth divisions, Attacking the opponent's position may be one or two thousand people, not only did the attack succeed, but was covered by the other party, almost the whole army was annihilated, both of them showed surprised expressions, almost 20,000 people attacked, 2,000 people blocked, aside from the problem of combat effectiveness, the gap of ten to one, but ended with the annihilation of the whole army of one more party, no matter how bad the Japanese army is, the combat effectiveness can not be worse than that, after all, after several years of training, the regular army that can shoot guns and has tactics, the combat effectiveness of the Northwest Army is worth paying attention to.

The Japanese foreign minister did not know the purpose of Britain and France, and said that he could get further support from Britain and France, and he knew everything, and said everything, and the British and French ambassadors did not express their position until the end of the day, and it was not until the Japanese foreign minister left that the ambassadors of the two countries looked at each other, as diplomats in East Asia, they are more familiar with Japan and China, and it seems that in the past few years, China's changes are related to the northwest, and even the army is so strong, neither of them can make a decision, after discussion, In the end, the information was passed back to China.

British Battleship Street, the most powerful street in Britain, is home to most of the British power agencies, wireless telegraph technology has not yet developed today, and Britain, which controls the vast majority of the world's cable telegraphs, is the fastest to get information, even if France wants to transmit information, it also needs to use the British network, which is related to the overall situation, and the Japanese ambassador chose to transmit it by telegraph for the first time.

After receiving this information, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs immediately reported it to the foreign minister, and under the leadership of the foreign minister, they conducted research on the East Asian issue, and according to the information they received, coupled with the step-by-step actions of the northwest, they found that this time the Japanese army's actions may not really have a great impact on the northwest, not to mention the huge difference in the combat effectiveness of the Japanese army and the Northwest Army, even if Japan really defied the sky and defeated the troops of the Northwest Army in Shandong, Japan entered Shandong and completely destroyed Shandong. However, the core of the northwest is in the interior of China, which is beyond the reach of Japan, and the strategic depth of thousands of kilometers is enough to completely drain the blood of the Japanese, which is an indisputable fact.

Great countries always have such and such advantages, the land represents this qiē, which Britain is very clear, but can not change, Britain is an island country, congenital can not occupy territory on the mainland, this is also the root of his always to avoid the emergence of a unified country on the European continent, once a unified country appears, for Britain, it is a nightmare-like existence, even if Britain has the most powerful warship in the world, it is just to maintain a relative balance of power, and survive on the British Isles.

As the strongest country in the world, Britain's estimate of the strength of the northwest is quite comprehensive, but the inherent arrogance makes them not think how strong the northwest is, greatly underestimate the strength of the northwest, and now the Japanese have proved the strength of the Chinese with real war examples, they must do a good job, Japan has no way to contain China, and even can not influence the trade between the northwest and Germany, and get along with the countermeasures to the changes in the situation in East Asia.

Japan for the Entente, the most powerful is the navy, in the British Empire spared no effort to support, Japan formed a strong navy, and began to get involved in the capital ships, at most two or three years later, Japan will form 4 Kongo-class as the core, many battleships and loading as a supplement to the powerful fleet, that for the Entente, is an important addition, if he can go to Europe, the Entente's naval strength, will have an overwhelming advantage.

However, the powerful fleet, in a single negligence, has been completely wiped out, Japan, which has lost its combined fleet, although there are still hundreds of thousands of troops, but it is still too far from Russia's tens of millions of mobilization capabilities, the strength of the northwest is far above the imagination of Britain, in terms of population, the mobilization power is also extremely amazing, one percent of the mobilization, is tens of millions of troops.

The previous war between Russia and the Northwest made the British suspect that the combat strength of the Northwest Army was just that Russia deliberately elevated itself under the Northwest to conceal it as much as possible, and there were certain mistakes in the army and the battle between the Northwest and Russia. But this time, in the battle of Qingdao, many things are clear, and the northwest already has enough self-confidence, especially the army, so there is no too much concealment, the intelligence knowledge of the Japanese side, and the situation of the battle, it is still reported by some newspapers, and these mutual corroborations are enough to prove that the combat effectiveness of the northwest is strong, and how many such troops there are, 500,000, 1 million, 2 million, or even more.

The foreign minister's face turned blue all of a sudden, and after repeated confirmation, and finally, he received a positive answer, and his face changed again and again, and he stood there without saying a word for a long time, and the worst result finally appeared. (To be continued......)
