"The Settsu has sunk! Ise, Fuso were hit hard! ”

The news of the Battle of Qingdao was reported by China for the first time, all newspapers and magazines reported this news, and even more so on radio stations, every announcer was as if it was the New Year, and the Chinese finally won and raised their morale!

It is said that the Ise sent four battleships, it can be said that it is already half of the combined fleet of the Sayben, before the Nagato was not put into service, the Ise class was the most powerful battleship in the Isemoto, and now the Ise has been severely damaged, and it will take at least half a year to recover, and the sinking of the Settsu has shocked the world, how did China do it, is this an April Fool's joke?

However, as the bigger situation was revealed, the countries finally learned that it was China that used aircraft to attack the combined fleet, and also successfully damaged the fleet, which was beyond imagination!

The battleships that were originally invincible would be defeated in the face of weak planes, so is there any point in building warships on such a large scale now, especially the United States, after the end of World War I, Britain and France owed the United States huge debts, and the United States was worried that Britain and France would directly repay their debts, so they started construction of more than a dozen battleships in one go, which posed a huge threat to Britain and France at once.

At the same time, the United States also has the idea of mediating the situation in the Far East and the Pacific through an international conference, especially to resolve the problems between China and China.

Due to the large number of topics and the fact that almost all the major powers were involved, the conference was still in the midst of intense preparations and consultations, and the war between China and China undoubtedly made all the great powers smell a little different, and it was time to reconsider the air force as a branch of the armed forces!

All the military strategists and politicians in the world are carefully studying the problem of the naval battle of Qingdao, and China's domestic victory is even more shocked, and now it is exactly in the first month, the festive atmosphere of the New Year has not subsided, and every household hears that China has finally raised its eyebrows and defeated the Yuben Navy, for ordinary people, just such news is enough to make them fall into madness, just twenty years ago the capital of China was occupied by eight countries, and every Chinese was burdened with a silver indemnity or two on their heads.

For these ordinary people, this is a huge shame, unforgettable pain, some people often say that the Chinese people are numb, that is because they can't see hope, starting from the Manchu Qing Dynasty, to the Beiyang government, most of the Chinese people have not tasted the sweetness brought by the Ming Boiled Republic, but the burden on their shoulders is heavier, in this case, the people can't even fill their stomachs, who will care about politics.

Only those powerful literati have the energy to moan a few words without illness, and then still sing and dance in the ten-mile field, since Qiao Yu came to power, China has indeed begun to undergo drastic changes, Qiao Yu in addition to the implementation of some policies to benefit the people, the abolition of harsh taxes and miscellaneous taxes, for the governance of pornography, gambling and drugs, for the refresh of the rule of officials, have let the people see real hope, in just two months, there are nearly 500 officials above the county and city levels were sent to prison.

In the past, the high-ranking officials and lords now do not dare to act recklessly, there is a sword hanging above their heads, which will fall at any time, when facing the common people, these people can also lower their proud heads, the country finally has hope, and the people are most looking forward to these policies to continue, no longer just a gust of wind!

At this time, the news of victory came, which was undoubtedly an unprecedented shock to the morale of the people, and the common people showed all their enthusiasm to cheer for victory, firecrackers, wine and meat have been sold like crazy, and the tavern and tea shop are full of laughter, and the artists who tell stories and sing opera are also keeping up with the changes in the situation, vying to make up new plays!

The mood of the people continued to boil, Qiao Yu's prestige also rose sharply, with the news of the victory spread, Qiao Yu's name also spread to the ears of all the people, prestige is sometimes a very strange thing, invisible and intangible, but there are facts, in Qiao Yu's opinion, prestige may be the prestige of the people, only with the support of the people, you can be invincible.

Qiao Yu has been in the command center of Jinan these days, carefully studying the possible next movements of the book, although the battle of Qingdao was won, but it is still far from the victory of the surname, the book still has the strength to break out, especially after the defeat of the book, the entire political axe and the military community are in a terrible silence, this is definitely not a good thing, the book must be brewing a bigger war, China must be ready to deal with it.

Wang Lingji entered the office with a smile and said: "Prime Minister, now your drama is being sung in the teahouse, and the people of the whole country know that you commanded China to defeat the war, and even those literati are no longer chirping!" ”

Hearing this, Jiang Baili's eyes also lit up, "Fang Zhou, the likes of Quyi are all talking about emperors and generals, beautiful talents, is it appropriate to sing Prime Minister Qiao?" ”

"How inappropriate! And you, Chief of Staff Jiang, the lyrics are: The table is, Premier Qiao is sitting in the Jinluan Palace, and the civil and military forces on both sides are standing on the opposite side, and Staff Officer Jiang is busy playing the class, and I will listen to the main driver when he starts playing! ”

Wang Lingji also learned the last reverberation with a slightly Sichuan accent voice, which made everyone present laugh, and Qiao Yu also shook his head frequently, really thinking of himself as an emperor.

"Fang Zhou, there is no Jinluan Palace here, the little emperor's family is still living in the Forbidden City, let's discuss the next possible measures!"

Jiang Baili also nodded again and again, and said with a smile: "Lord! I guess I will first refit warships, such as increasing anti-aircraft firepower, strengthening intelligence work on China's air force, and expanding our air power at the same time, but it will take several months to prepare for this, and for the time being, we can win a period of peace! ”

Although Jiang Baili's sentence was a joke, the latter words were not wrong at all, the navy was the lifeblood of Yueben, and even if he was desperate, he would not watch the warship die, so he would definitely refit the warship first.

"Brother Baili, although we have won this time, but we have also exposed the sharp weapon of the air force, and once the warship of Yue Ben increases its anti-aircraft firepower, if you want to defeat Yue himself with a small amount of sacrifice, I am afraid it will not be possible!"

In this attack, China only paid the price of seven bombers, which is simply insignificant compared to the original one, but the next battle may not be so easy, and the same is true for Jiang Baili.

"Yes, if all the battleships can be left behind this time, there will be no desperate capital, and it will be easy to do, but there is still a period of time in between, I suggest that a group of dead soldiers be recruited from the army and society, teach them the skills of piloting airplanes, put bombs on each plane, and launch a suicide attack on the warships when necessary!"

Faced with this suggestion, Qiao Yu was stunned for a while! Isn't this a kamikaze? Why does China have to deal with this book, this is too interesting!

"Prime Minister, I agree with the chief of staff's point of view, since Gu Ci is not in charge of the army, the left and right are just a matter of fish dying and the net is broken, I don't want China to go well, China doesn't have to worry about anything, and there is no shortage of strong men in China who sacrifice their lives to die, even if it is to use 100 planes to return a battleship, we will earn it!" Shi Yi also strongly appreciated this idea.

Qiao Yu's heart also kept thinking, this kind of suicide attack is actually the same as the endless suicide bombs in later generations, a nation is forced to have no way out, if it chooses to compromise, it is tantamount to kneeling and admitting defeat, if you want to fight, you can only use human life to win, this is no way, ancient and modern!

"The Prime Minister doesn't have to hesitate, we are now starting to recruit a large number of people, modify the aircraft, and say that Ben may attack our coastal areas at any time, and if we are not prepared, there will only be more deaths by that time!" Long Yun also spoke on the side.

Qiao Yu also knows very well that in addition to the air force, the only thing he can threaten the navy now is the two German warships, and the two submarines that have just been built, which is really too thin!

"In this case, set up flying clubs in major cities across the country, and recruit other targets that do not have to be limited to Chinese, such as those North Koreans who run to China, they have a deeper hatred with Yuben and are more eager to restore the motherland, so you might as well let them act as a dead soldier!"

Just three days after the news of China's victory spread, it was only after the news of the Chinese victory that the Combined Fleet had suffered a setback in the Qingdao area, but the Empire had the ability to solve the problem, and the heroic naval officers and men had the strength to make the China who dared to provoke the dignity of the Emperor pay a heavy price!

Before that, there was already news in the country, those subjects who were intoxicated with the glory of the emperor did not believe that the combined fleet would be defeated at all, but they tightened their belts and relied on the women of the Tsubato to sell meat in exchange for the invincible armada, how could it fail!

In order to pursue the navy, Samoto was eager to squeeze the last copper plate out of the pockets of the common people, and now the people who have paid so much can't bear it, and after being confirmed by the political axe, a large-scale demonstration was launched, and Samoto had to put all the blame on Kato Dingyoshi.

The old guy committed suicide by caesarean section on the same day to apologize for his sins!

Of course, the military top brass is very clear that Kato Dingyoshi is just a scapegoat, and he must find a way to deal with China's air power, otherwise his combined fleet will not dare to approach China's mainland at all, and it will lose its ability to interfere with China, but this time it is indeed a big heel, and after reluctantly returning home, it was found that the keel had cracked, and it was a fluke to be able to return to China, and it must be overhauled, in other words, the four battleships of this were sunk and injured. It's already getting to the point of breaking your bones!

At this time, he was also learning a lesson and began to refit all warships, in addition to battleships, destroyers and cruisers were not spared, eager to turn these warships into hedgehogs, and at the same time, he was also asking domestic companies to design superior aircraft as soon as possible, so as to avenge this arrow!

However, at this juncture, the United States has sent a request, claiming that any action that undermines peace in the Pacific region will be severely sanctioned by the United States, and at the same time, the United States is willing to mediate the rush between China and China.
