Nanyang, Building of the National Courtyard of the Republic of Seris

On February 10, 1895, an unusual meeting was being held here under the Celestial Axe.

In addition to the cabinet ministers, all the top echelons of the military are now sitting here.

Summoning these people at this time naturally would not just invite them over for tea, Chen Zeyu stood up from the main seat and glanced at all the high-ranking military and political personnel present.

"Back when this country was just founded, I said that our ultimate goal was to overthrow the Manchu government on the mainland, and now it's time to do it!"

"Boom!" The conference hall was filled with excited responses from everyone.

"In fact, many of you have guessed that the political axe began to make preparations in this regard as early as the second half of last year, and the army has almost doubled! By now we are completely ready for war! Here I can first tell you that the officers and men of the 203 and 701 brigades of the Republic Navy and the Army have already set off for us to fight for us! ”

Everyone at the venue immediately cheered!

Chen Zeyu pressed down with both hands and quieted the venue before continuing. "In the past ten years, our Huameng has built hundreds of thousands of powerful army and navy from scratch, and has made remarkable achievements in industry and economy! Up to now, the industrial indicators of our Seris have entered the ranks of the world's powers! It's time to make our Seris voice heard in the world! ”

According to the statistics of the Republic of Seris at the end of 1894 - population 26 million - fiscal revenue of 341.9 million Chinese yuan (110.2 million taels of silver) - military expenditure of 68.38 million Chinese yuan (22.04 million taels of silver) - steel production of 4.2 million tons (note: political axe income does not include the income from the drug plundering trade in Seris)

During the same period, the national strength of all countries in the world was:

The population of the Qing State was 364 million - the fiscal revenue was 89 million taels of silver - the military expenditure was 34.91 million taels of silver - the steel output was 200,000 tons.

It is said that the population of the city is 41.5 million -- the fiscal revenue is 59.45 million yuan (equivalent to 35.6 million taels of silver) -- the military expenditure is 19.02 million yuan (11.39 million taels of silver) -- the steel output is 150,000 tons.

Britain has a population of 40.1 million - fiscal revenue of 142.1 million pounds (458 million taels of silver) - military spending of 27 million pounds (87.1 million taels of silver) - steel production of 7.1 million tons.

France has a population of 38.9 million - fiscal revenue of 1.189 billion francs (155 million taels of silver) - military expenditure of 265.9 million francs (35.22 million taels of silver) - steel production of 2.8 million tons.

"You can take a look, this data is the economic data of the world's major industrial powers collected by the industrial economy department at the end of last year!"

Chen Zeyu said sonorously while waving his right hand.

"It's fair to say that now we have the strength to do what we once wanted to do but didn't! Everyone, it's time!! ”

There was a round of applause in the Great Hall of the National Council.

Fan Wenfang, the commander of the Fourth Reorganization Division, stood up at this time and said excitedly, "Führer, don't worry!" Those Qing troops can't stop us, and my fourth division alone can sweep them away..."

Chen Zeyu didn't stop him, just smiled and waited for a few excited people to finish speaking one after another, and waited until everyone's emotions calmed down before he continued, "Indeed! The Manchu Qing with our strength is naturally not to be worried, in fact, as early as a few years ago, I Seris had the power to defeat the Qing State, to overthrow this tattered court is just a gesture for us, but we have not done so, why? ”

Chen Zeyu walked behind the long table of the meeting and lifted a curtain, and suddenly a large map of the world was displayed in front of everyone.

"To put it mildly, the Qing State at this time has already become fat in the eyes of the surrounding powers, if we can't solve the problem of reunification quickly, then it is inevitable that the chaotic Qing State will be intervened by these powers!"

Chen Zeyu glanced at the people around him again, and finally his gaze stopped on the newly appointed Sun Wen, the deputy minister of the Ministry of Railways.

Sun Wen was panicked by his sharp knife-like gaze, and lowered his head in shame.

"Because we were afraid of getting a ruined Chinese land, we endured it for several whole years! Until now! After several years of hard development, the whole country of Seris has achieved an overwhelming regional power advantage! Now is the time! Restore China!! Tell me, are you all ready!! ”

"Yes! Monarch!!! ”

"Yes! Monarch!!! ”

"Restoring the Chinese !! ――”

"Restoring the Chinese !! ――”

"Restoring the Chinese !! ――”

Everyone stood up and shouted frantically......

On February 11, 1895, the political axe of the Republic of Seris suddenly summoned the ministers of various countries in Seris, and announced that the Republic of Seris would declare war on the Qing State under the pretext of the "humanitarian crisis of the Qing country"! Regardless of the ministers who were stunned on the spot and hurried to the telegraph room, Seris had already begun his own action.

On 14 February, just as the Seris Northern Fleet began to patrol the waters off Jeju Island and cut off the sea route between the east and west of Korea, the Seris Army also began to operate, and the first batch of 115,000 combat units of five integrated divisions began to land in the coastal areas of Taiwan, Penghu, Hainan, and Liangguang in the Qing Dynasty.

At this point, Operation Tsunami in Seris is in full swing!

At the same time as the military operation, the battle of public opinion began, and the Republic of Seris directly laughed at his own "Open and Honest Advice to the Heroes of the Eighteen Provinces", and after a slight modification, it was posted everywhere by the Serist agents who had already infiltrated the Qing Dynasty.

"The sage has a saying, 'Virtuous is ordained, meritorious is rewarded' and said, 'Only the fate is not normal, the good will get it, and the ungood will be lost' The Manchu Qing Dynasty was just the Tunguska savage of Xianbeilia, neither the virtue of the order, nor the merit of China, taking advantage of the declining luck of China, violent robbery, pretending for a while, full of opportunities, and skillful in the world. At that time, Haojie was invincible by force, and he swallowed hatred and held anger to this day, covering the so-called people who are victorious over the sky. Now is also the time when heaven will conquer people. Familiar with the recent situation of the Manchu Qing clan, the people are weak, they take advantage of the curtain to gain power, the officials are in their duties, the militarism is blasphemous, the governance is declining, and the discipline is sluggish. The Chinese nation and I have the same species, the same culture, the same ethics, and the friendship of glory, and there is no hatred for it. I hope to forgive the sincerity of my disciples, never suspect the thoughts, observe the backs of heaven and man, and follow the general trend of the world, sing the righteousness of the Central Plains, entangle the strong men, the revolutionary army, in order to chase the Manchu Qing clan abroad, rise up the real heroes in the recklessness and support the great cause, and then reform the barnyard government, eliminate the people's harm, go to the false text and follow the will of Confucius and Mencius politics and religion, and verify and restore the rule of the three generations of emperors. I waited in vain. Fortunately, one of the Qing and others sang, and I should beg for righteousness in the palace. Therefore, the ship carried food and weapons, and made an appointment to go to the ribs. There is no time to lose, and the opportunity will not come back. The ancients did not say anything: if the sky does not take it, it will be blamed. Qing waited for the speed. Don't be laughed at by Mingzu! ”

……

Morrison, a reporter from the British Times, happened to get a copy of Seris's "Letter of Open and Honest Advice to Chinese Compatriots" at the meeting, and the British, who knew a lot about the Qing Dynasty's national conditions, exclaimed on the spot, "The sky is about to change......
