Although Takeo Abe is the commander of the fleet, this fleet also carries 700 Saimoto soldiers, and the head of this landing force is Ishihara Daisa, who is glaring at Abe Takeo at this time.

"Abe, you are a disgrace to the Empire, the mighty Imperial fleet is fearless, the Empire has defeated China, and it has defeated Russia, but it has to be crushed in front of a small warlord army? You should go for seppuku! ”

"Ishihara-kun, the people of China have planes, and they attack from the air, how can we block them, are we using your saber to cut planes, it is you who should really cut your abdomen, only by knowing yourself and knowing your opponent can you survive a hundred battles, your army doesn't even know who the opponent is, but you forcibly pull the navy to seize the Hanyang Iron Works, this is the biggest dereliction of duty!"

Ishihara Qingjin exposed, "The empire is a small country, if you want to be strong, you must have extraordinary courage, even if you die, you must die on the way to charge, you must not be a coward, deserters are the most shameful, and you are this shameful bastard!" ”

While the two were frantically scolding each other, a domestic telegram came over, demanding that Abe immediately withdraw from the Yangtze River with the remaining warships and wait for processing!

There is nothing else said in the telegram, but Abe and Ishihara are already very clear that both of them will be held accountable for the failure of the mission, of course, mainly on Abe, who lost five warships at once, and Abe should indeed apologize.

"Ishihara-kun, the domestic order has been issued, let's not quarrel, everything is waiting for the domestic to be dealt with, and the responsibility for failure is borne by me!"

"Abe, I have an idea, that is, we will attack the Hanyang Iron Works tonight, with the help of night cover, as long as we control the Hanyang Iron Works, we will not fail, and the night operation can also avoid the attack of the Shina Air Force, we say that the army of this empire is absolutely strong, even if we try our best, we will win the victory!"

Yanjing Zhongnanhai said that the negotiation between Zhiyi and Yuan Shikai had reached the last moment, and Zhiyi said to Yuan Shikai: "Your Excellency, in order to show sincerity, the empire is willing to make some concessions to the 21st Article, but your country must sign a treaty as soon as possible, and can not delay any longer, the Chuanbian patrol has made Qiao Yu a destroyer of Sino-Chinese friendship, the imperial political axe hopes to remove him as soon as possible, the Hanyang Iron Works must be handed over to the imperial merchants to operate, and the captured Yue himself must be released as soon as possible to compensate for the losses in this regard, This is the bottom line of the empire, if the president still does not agree, the combined fleet will be dispatched soon, and then it will not be this condition! ”

Yuan Shikai and Lu Zongyu looked at each other, and their faces were also embarrassed, "Mr. Minister, the twenty-one articles are too big, I hope we can continue to solve it through negotiations, and I will deal with the matter of Qiao Yu as soon as possible, and I will definitely satisfy the Minister and the political axe!" ”

When all parties were negotiating, all major newspapers at home and abroad began to report the conflict that occurred on the Wuchang River, and the old empire finally thwarted a military power with its own military strength, and it was easy to write, and it suddenly became the biggest news, and politicians from sensitive countries began to analyze how this matter should end, what impact it would have on the future direction of the Far East, and people who were more concerned about the military were locked on the use of aircraft.

After the outbreak of World War I, Germany took the lead in applying aircraft to the war, in addition to airplanes, Germany also used airships, air power began to play a role that cannot be ignored, both camps began to crazy aircraft design and construction work, suddenly everyone found that the original aircraft can also play such a big role, the power of aircraft alone can win a war, the great powers for this murder weapon development is more in-depth.

But these are all later words, now Qiao Yu is sitting opposite the consul generals of Britain, France and the United States, discussing how to solve the problem in front of him, originally Qiao Yu was not qualified to talk about these with the powers, but since the Sichuan Air Force was powerful, these consul generals immediately smelled a different taste, it seems that Sichuan is not just an economic partner.

"The three consul generals, starting from the incident in Qingdao last year, said that Ben was = taking advantage of the rare opportunity for the great powers to focus their attention on Europe to start an expansion operation, and the command of this action is getting stronger and stronger, and the purpose of this action is very clear, that is, to completely occupy the whole of China, which is very clear in the 21st article, and it is said that Ben already has a huge force in the northeast, and then Shandong, and Fujian, if the conspiracy succeeds, the coast of China will fall into the hands of Yue himself, and then they can swallow and encroach on it, Swallow China all! ”

"Qiao, they don't have this kind of power, they are a small country, and they don't have the courage to dare to infringe on the interests of the great powers, you can't help but be a bit alarmist when you say that!" Fushan said.

"Mr. Fushan, it is not a matter of guts, in fact, they have already begun to act, and the crazy move of sending troops to occupy the Hanyang Iron Works can be thought of, it can be seen that the book has been mad to when, and the two wars were fought in absolute weakness, the Qing Dynasty and Russia's national strength at that time were above the book, but the book still launched the war without hesitation, this is not a rational nation, you can't speculate with common sense, as long as you let the book develop, Sooner or later, the interests of the Great Powers will be threatened! ”

French Consul General Alder still shook his head, "Joe, this time this operation did not clearly indicate that it was to capture the Hanyang Iron Works, maybe it was just an exercise!" ”

"Drills? Then they will not send a landing force, here I just want to say that the great powers did not continue the strong sanctions against the Zoben, only to give the Liber the ambition to gain further benefits, so I suggest that the Powers must impose harsher sanctions on the Lexicon, and any dealings with the evil wolf will not end well! ”

Just when Qiao Yu and others were talking, an urgent telegram was sent, Qiao Yu was also taken aback, it turned out that the army attacked Hanyang under the cover of night, the squadron was negligent in taking precautions, and the vanguard of the army had approached the Hanyang Iron Works, and the military and police expatriates in the concession were all mobilized to assist the army in attacking.

After seeing this telegram, both Fushan and Alder were shocked, with their brains really can't understand the madness of Yue himself, Yue Ben originally had a naval advantage, even if he could not defeat China, he could retreat by water, and now most of the warships are sunk, even if he can win by luck, he will fall into the layers of encirclement of the [***] team, and he can't escape at all, isn't this looking for death!

"Qiao, you are still right this time, Yue Ben is indeed an unreasonable nation, but the stability of the Far East still has to be maintained, we will find a way to put pressure on Yu Ben, and both sides need to restrain themselves!" After Fushan finished his explanation, he hurriedly left with the other two consul generals, they must communicate and coordinate with other big men to resolve the current conflict as soon as possible, China said that they are all important material supply bases for the Entente, and there must be no war.

The battle in Hanyang City became more and more intense, Shi Yi was also angry at this time, and even let him sneak attack Hanyang, which was a shame for the Zhong [***] team, and the army in Wuhan Three Towns was mainly Xia Douyin's subordinates, and the Sichuan army had not yet arrived in Hubei due to road problems, and Shi Yi was able to quickly arrive in Hubei by plane.

Although the equipment of these Hubei troops is configured according to the standards of the Sichuan army, the training is far from enough, especially after the big victory during the day, so that the Hubei army as a whole is slack.

In particular, a large number of prisoners were captured, so that the Hubei army in front of the Hubei fathers and elders extraordinarily lifted, Hubei itself is a place of humanities, the news newspaper is also very developed, the [***] team defeated the army, this is like how it is an explosive surname news, so many Hubei fathers and elders have brought pigs and sheep to the labor army, they still remember the Wuhan tragedy a few months ago, now so many prisoners said that he himself, and killed a lot, it is considered to avenge the dead.

In addition to these people, there are also many students who have expressed their desire to join the army and serve the country, especially to join the Air Force and fly airplanes!

The barracks of the Hubei army became extremely lively, and naturally the precautions were a little relaxed, Shi Yi was a little worried in his heart, and found Wu Fenglou.

"Lao Wu, you have fought with Yue himself, what virtues do you think these Yue himself have?"

"People are small, their hearts and eyes are smaller, they can't tolerate anything, they have a strong sense of revenge, and their height determines that they can only see half a meter in front of them, and they can't see it from any distance, so they do things recklessly!"

"Lao Wu, I always feel that I will not give up, I think it is better to let the brothers of the special combat team suffer a little more, strengthen their vigilance, and don't let Yue himself take advantage of the loophole!"

Wu Fenglou nodded in agreement, arranged for people to go, just after midnight, there was a team of men and horses quickly approaching Hanyang, it was Ishihara led by the army of Yumoto and others, Abe took the risk to send Ishihara to a place about ten kilometers away from Hanyang, Ishihara landed with the army.

Although Ishihara was reckless, he was not a brainless person, and he also grabbed two guides and asked them to take them straight to Hanyang, and the quality of the army was still very good, although it was in a completely unfamiliar land, it was still able to march quickly and raid into Hanyang.

The defenders were unprepared for a while, and even let the people kill a person on their backs, and the army rushed straight to the direction of the Hanyang Iron Works, and at this moment a sparse gunshot rang out, at first I didn't care, but soon dozens of soldiers fell to the ground, the wounds were all on the head, blood and brains were splashed everywhere, looking hideous and miserable, and the army instantly felt a chill on the neck, there must be a large number of sharpshooters here.
