Section 756 East Asian Crisis
Sarah's painting naturally caused a huge controversy. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info
Newspapers reported on the ugly painting, and Yang Chao's supporters fiercely criticized the Jewish female painter for wantonly smearing Chinese politicians.
What they said was not unreasonable, because the painting was indeed too blackened, the ugly body, the bulging muscles were like small snakes, the distorted face seemed to be a drug addict in hell, and the woman under him was extremely charming, like a goblin.
But this painting is too distinctive, the creative method is still oil painting, but it is used with a touch of humor, maintaining the tone of ink painting, and the artistic conception is also very freehand, there is no truth-seeking, the scenes such as houses and tea trees are very vague, obviously the style of Chinese painting, and the characters are not real, but they can barely recognize Yang Chao's appearance.
Obviously, it was difficult for the Chinese to accept this ugly painting to be made public, and even the parliament was alarmed, but the North Koreans were very enthusiastic to buy the copyright of the painting again and sell it as the highest-end print.
Members of Congress demanded that the print be banned from sale in China, but the North Korean printing company insisted that it was a work of art and should not be viewed with secular eyes.
Kim Yue-hye's North Korean National Printing Company has now become a well-known company in high-end prints, although their main business is still mass prints, high-end prints only account for a small part of revenue, the price is very high, and the sales volume is not much, but the brand value brought by high-end is very favorable, driving the sales of their other printed materials, including New Year's paintings, calendars and other necessities, exported to China as high as 100 million taels every year, is one of North Korea's largest export products, ranking after textiles, higher than Korean ginseng.
Jin Yuehui will not let go of this controversial and sensational product sale, unless the Chinese government bans them, she will definitely continue to sell, and once the Chinese government bans them from selling, it may bring some losses, but the advertising effect is greater.
At the time when the Korean printing company was causing controversy in China, their navy was blockading the Japanese "Hawaiian Navy", and this fleet was never able to get out of Aomori, and as soon as it left the port, the Korean navy immediately caught up with it, and opened fire as soon as it approached their warship.
The Koreans were not at all afraid to cause a war, they were sure that China would be on their side, and Japan did not have such self-confidence, so they always tolerated it.
In addition, the Japanese also need time to train, they have obtained 8 aircraft carriers, but they do not yet have qualified aircraft carrier pilots, during this time they are very intense training, hoping to make the aircraft carrier combat effectiveness as soon as possible.
With a large number of Zero fighters equipped with aircraft carriers and the level of pilot training increasing day by day, it became more and more difficult for Japan to endure the suppression of the Koreans, and it continued to assert its power at the East Asian Conference, saying that the blockade of the "Hawaiian Fleet" by the Koreans had seriously affected the lives of the Japanese people, and demanded that the DPRK immediately lift the blockade.
The Koreans, for their part, insisted that Japan hand over the Hawaiian fleet to the East Asia Council, rather than placing the ships in Japan, effectively expanding the size of the Japanese navy and violating treaties with China and Korea.
The war of words between the two countries has been escalating, and the national sentiment at home is fierce, and there have been irrational civil behaviors against each other, resulting in a large number of expatriates in both countries returning to China in fear.
But the reality cannot be changed, the "Hawaiian Navy" is still trapped by the North Korean Navy in the port of Aomori, unable to take a step out of the port, the North Korean has repeatedly claimed that once the fleet leaves the port and enters the ocean, the North Korean Navy will sink them, although no one believes that the North Koreans have the ability to sink this fleet, but the Hawaiian Navy has exercised restraint, they really did not take a step out of the port.
Until the New Year, when East Asians celebrated, the Japanese did not celebrate.
This is because the Chinese New Year in Japan is completely different from the Chinese New Year in China, North Korea, and Vietnam, where the Spring Festival is held in the Chinese lunar calendar, while Japan switched to the Western calendar after the Meiji Restoration, and even the first month of the New Year is placed in the first month of the solar calendar.
Therefore, the Chinese New Year in Japan has already passed.
However, although the Koreans were celebrating the Spring Festival, their fleet did not leave the waters of Japan.
Since June last year, the DPRK Navy has been carrying out blockade missions here, during which the entire fleet has been here for the rest of the time, except for a few warships that have been rotated back to China for maintenance and shelter from storms.
In order to carry out this long-term blockade mission, the North Koreans have also figured out a lot of things, they have chartered a tanker of Yangzi Petroleum Company, which can carry fuel for the entire North Korean fleet for three months at a time, and they have also chartered large cargo ships and converted them into supply ships.
The eight-month-long blockade mission has also made this navy mature rapidly, although it has not yet fought, but it has made a qualitative leap compared to before, because the blockade mission is still a military mission in the final analysis, and it is more real than training and acting.
It's just that the long-term peace and ease, usually only doing some cruising actions, so that the Koreans can't help but relax, and some despise the courage of the Japanese, where does little Japan dare to do something with the big Korea?
At the time of the New Year, it was even more lax, and the DPRK sent them abundant food supplies, even a lot of soju, although the army was not allowed to drink, but Jin Jiu believed that the soldiers did not drink alcohol without arrogance, so it was allowed to drink less without affecting the combat effectiveness.
As soon as the mouth is opened, it is often impossible to stop it, and Jin Jiu let it go, the naval commander let it go, the fleet commander let it go, and the captain let it go, and the result is that people who shouldn't drink are also drinking, and those in the engine shift are drinking, and it is impossible to guarantee combat effectiveness at all.
If the Japanese were still as they have been in the past, perhaps they would be able to spend the New Year in the midst of wine and meat and the frenzied praise of the domestic newspapers.
But the Japanese are not honest.
Just when most of the Koreans had drunk a little and were completely free of military action, and all of them were anchored nearby, the Japanese fleet left the port.
"Commander, the Japanese are out, what should I do? To fight or not to fight? ”
The Koreans immediately spotted the Japanese fleet, starting with eight battleships, in a posture of forcibly breaking into the Korean naval blockade.
The commander of the DPRK fleet immediately asked for instructions, and although he was shouting so loudly, he was still nervous when it was time to fight.
The North Korean high-level feedback was very fast, and after a few telegrams, Jin Jiu made a decision, coming one to fight the other, and directly calling back.
"Hit! Beat them back. ”
The commander of the fleet, Shiraishi Moto, gave the order, and at the same time he walked up to the bridge and observed it with a telescope.
He saw the Japanese battleships ahead, and the artillery of the Korean fleet hit them nearby, blowing up a high column of water, but the Japanese fleet did not slow down at all.
Shiraishi immediately felt bad, this time the Japanese did not seem to be tempting, but determined to force their way through the blockade.
At this time, a shell exploded on the Japanese battleship, and the North Korean cannons were all small cannons, which were the cannons of cruisers, and there was nothing to be done about this kind of 50,000-ton super battleship with thick skin and flesh.
But the Japanese returned fire, and their cannons all turned their muzzles.
Shiraishi Yuan secretly said that it was not good, and immediately ordered the planes on the aircraft carrier to take off and immediately bomb the Japanese warships, and it was impossible to threaten the Japanese warships with their cruisers.
The North Korean plane had just taken off, the Japanese giant artillery aimed at their aircraft carrier, the muzzle of the gun spewed flames, 3 triple main turrets, 406 mm 50 times the caliber of the main gun with the assistance of precision optical rangefinder, the accuracy of the first round of shelling was extremely high, a shelling threw out 72 armor-piercing shells weighing more than 1 ton of 1225 kg, although it is impossible for each one to hit the target, but as long as one blows up to the North Korean aircraft carrier, it is enough.
The real situation is that after the smoke of this round of shelling, everyone can only see the aircraft carrier Goryeo that is silent.
At this time, the order of the Korean high-level withdrawal came, and the Japanese fleet seemed to have a tacit understanding to stop the shelling and return to the port.
This was a big event, and the DPRK immediately demanded the convening of a special meeting of the East Asia Council, and they demanded that the members of the East Asian Mutual Protection Alliance immediately blockade Japan and declare war on Japan, because the Japanese attacked them, that is, an attack on the whole of East Asia, and this is already a war.
At the same time, Korea had severed all ties with Japan, recalled their diplomatic ambassadors, demanded that all their expatriates return home, expelled Japanese diplomats, demanded that the Japanese leave the country within a time limit, confiscated the property of all Japanese merchants, and carried out military mobilization in the country.
Zhang Jian can't be sloppy this time, no one is a fool, after such a long time, no one can see the little bit of the Japanese, so he immediately sent a note to Japan, asking Japan to explain this matter as soon as possible.
But he did not agree to the East Asian Mutual Assistance Alliance's request for Japan's blockade and selection, what are you kidding, Japan is also a member of the East Asian Mutual Aid Alliance, in Zhang Jian's view, they are all mixed with China, and in the past, they were all vassal states of China, and it is nothing to fight by themselves, isn't it a joke for foreigners to see.
Zhang Jian's attitude was to set up a special investigation team, immediately rush to Japan to investigate, and punish the relevant personnel.
The DPRK does not accept Zhang Jian's attitude.
They paid the price of an aircraft carrier, not just to drag Japan into the water.
This price was quite heavy, not only did they lose their only main warship, but also the casualties were as high as 1,000 soldiers, and the crew of the aircraft carrier was almost completely wiped out, which instantly lowered the strength of the North Korean Navy by a notch.
But how can you fight with the power of North Korea alone?
It can't be a match for Japan.
Japan's naval combat strength has reached the world's first-class level, and the total tonnage of its capital ships has reached half of China's.
The DPRK can risk the loss of one capital ship, but dare to risk the loss of all its warships? (To be continued.) )
