Hanyang Iron Works and the surrounding Hanyang Arsenal and other places are heavily guarded, Ishihara led his subordinates to attack Hanyang Iron Works, but also after some consideration, because he can completely control the Hanyang Iron Works by surprise attack, and as long as he controls here, the domestic side has to send a large number of reinforcements to guard the Hanyang Iron Works, in that case, no matter how many soldiers there are in China, it is in vain, and he will naturally become a hero who opens up territory for the empire.

Of course, an important prerequisite for achieving these is to quickly occupy and control the Hanyang Iron Works, and then withstand the counterattack of the Central [***] team, as long as this is done, he will be successful, before launching the attack, Ishihara also issued an order to the military and police expatriates in the concession, asking them to cooperate with him to create chaos and drag down the hands and feet of the Chinese [***] team.

Ishihara's troops quickly approached the Hanyang Iron Works, and at this time, all parties also received the news of the attack on Yumoto, and in an instant everyone thought that their ears were broken, how could there be such ridiculous news, but more and more news proved this, and all the forces, including Samoto, were shocked.

In particular, he knew very well that the empire did not have any spare strength to attack the hinterland of China, and Ishihara's behavior was undoubtedly looking for death, and he also put the political axe of the company in a disadvantageous position, not long ago he also swore that the purpose of the exercise was to exercise, and now the facts are in front of him, and the target of the book is the Hanyang Iron Works, which is an irrefutable fact.

In an instant, Yanjing and Chengdu were busy, and the ministers and consuls general of various countries were busy everywhere, and they also sent a telegram to Ishihara, asking him to withdraw from Hanyang immediately and not to make trouble, but unfortunately Ishihara pretended not to receive it, and blindly urged his soldiers to storm the Hanyang Iron Works.

The soldiers who had experienced the baptism of the Russo-Japanese War were indeed excellent in military quality, accurate marksmanship, and fearless even at night, and the Chinese soldiers who were hastily organized were difficult to resist, leaving a large number of corpses along the way.

Just when there was still about a kilometer away from the Hanyang Iron Works, several tongues of fire erupted from the houses on both sides of the road, blocking the road, and at the same time, a large number of soldiers in gray military uniforms appeared on the opposite side.

These soldiers are the guard battalion led by Shi Yi himself, they are the most elite force in the third division, these improvised fortifications are also worried that the aircraft will not be able to deal with the warships, and they were established after the landing, and now they are just in handy, at this time, the special combat team of Wu Fenglou has also retreated into the fortifications one after another, and together they stop the attack of the soldiers of Yuben.

The guns are fierce, the cannon is shocking, the battle outside the Hanyang Iron Works is becoming more and more intense, the soldiers are desperately attacking, Sichuan is desperately defending, the bullets penetrate the head, the chest is broken, the mortars of the Sichuan army continue to send out shells one by one, these mortars are new products in Sichuan, the rate of fire is higher, the power is greater, and the most important thing is that with the improvement of metallurgical technology, the mortar is getting lighter and lighter, a soldier can move away, the firepower is very ferocious.

Blowing up the limbs of the devils, throwing their bodies into the sky, and soon the streets in front of the Hanyang Iron Works were full of stumps and broken legs, and the moaning soldiers were also shocked, and in the blink of an eye, more than 200 soldiers had been wiped out, this is the elite Imperial Army, the soldiers who can defeat Tsarist Russia, how could they lose to the people of China in the ground war.

However, Ishihara soon had no time to be depressed, Xia Douyin's subordinates after a simple panic, they were all mobilized, Xia Douyin saw that although the number of Shiyi's subordinates was small, but the firepower was strong, the tactics were superb, and the safety could block Ishihara's attack, these Hubei troops were divided into two teams, like a huge fan, surrounded Ishihara's army in the middle, a street, a house became a place of contention between the two sides, the Hubei army relied on geographical advantages, and quickly compressed Ishihara's troops to the middle of the block.

The battle has reached this time, there is no suspense, the fate of this army has been in the hands of the [***] team, the sky has gradually brightened, the Sichuan Air Force dispatched again, these big birds hovered through the air, the soldiers still have an unspeakable fear of this weapon in their hearts, yesterday the plane gave them a painful lesson, those warships that sank into the river are still vivid.

And they ran out of ammunition, Ishihara knew that he had completely miscalculated this time, not only failed to make a contribution, but also sent himself into danger, but he was afraid that life and death were out of his control, Ishihara pulled out his saber, gathered all the soldiers around him and wanted to launch a decisive charge, washing away the shame with blood, just when Ishihara was about to charge, he only felt as if his chest was concentrated by a heavy fist, and his body flew out in an instant, and a special combat member of the Sichuan army just hit him.

Ishihara's life and death are uncertain, these soldiers have lost their backbone, their madness is still slightly worse than that of later generations, the toxin of militarism has been planted, but it has not yet reached the level of madness, after Ishihara fell, other soldiers saw that there was no hope of victory, and they also surrendered, and when the day dawned, all the soldiers scattered everywhere were arrested, and the military police in the original concession were also captured.

In addition, more than 1,000 prisoners were captured last time, and more than 300 corpses were left outside the Hanyang Iron Works, this conflict was over, but the diplomatic game had just begun.

The Chinese people, especially the students from all over the country, also took to the streets and began to support China's political axe, demanding the rejection of all treaties by China, and at the same time asking for compensation to the Chinese army and guaranteeing that China's interests would not be infringed again.

The reason is very simple: both the Entente and the United States hope that the Far East will maintain stability, ensure their economic interests, and concentrate all their efforts on resolving the European war.

The first war could not only get rid of the huge debts, but also allowed the rapid development of the industry, and the rapid improvement of technology, which was the best opportunity for the company to enhance its national strength, and it was really not appropriate to fall into war at such a juncture.

In Yanjing, Yuan Shikai can't wait for the conflict to end as soon as possible, in the face of Yueben's combined fleet, Yuan Shikai is really a little unable to hold on, and Qiao Yu of Sichuan also has this idea in his heart, now he and Yueben are desperate Sichuan can defend, but what to do with the coastal areas, here are also their own compatriots, let them bear the threat of war, Sichuan is really inland, it is really impossible to do it.

Moreover, although Sichuan's current military salute can cause heavy losses to Yuben, it has not yet been able to change the situation in which the enemy is strong and we are weak, and it will only lose all the family wealth that has been accumulated with great difficulty, and it will be worth the loss, and it is precisely because of this tacit understanding that all parties are not prepared to expand the situation.

British Minister Zhu Erdian and American Minister Rui Enshi took the lead, and after careful coordination, a preliminary settlement agreement was reached, under which the Sichuan side returned the prisoners as soon as possible, and the Sichuan side canceled the clauses that harmed the interests of the Sichuan side in the 21 articles, guaranteed not to get involved in the Hanyang Iron Works, gave up the power of the railway from Wuhan to Nanchang, and said that the Sichuan side would ensure the safety of the Yangtze River waterway and absolutely not interfere with the shipping of the Yangtze River.

At the same time, the United States also gave assurances to Yueben that the United States would abandon its plan to support Sichuan's raw silk, while the 21 Articles of the Political Axe of Beiyang and Beiyang would continue to negotiate, but the great powers demanded that the rights and interests sought by Yueben must be notified to other countries and that they should not be monopolized.

This is another result of a compromise, there is no doubt that the Beiyang political axe was betrayed again, Sichuan relied on its own strength to protect its own interests, and the weak Beiyang could only continue to withstand the high pressure of Yueben and let Yueben gain all kinds of power.

After the main issues were clearly discussed, they began to argue over the details, and in short, they talked about it for more than a month before finally starting to implement this issue, during which time Wang Lingji's investigation bureau began to look for people who opposed the political axe among the captives, and began to buy and win over and expand the intelligence organization.

At the same time, according to Qiao Yu's plan, he selected a few leftist figures from among them, instilled in them class and revolutionary views, encouraged them to engage in revolutionary activities, and overthrew the evil emperor system.

Everything is busy, the teeth and claws of the book have greatly shaken the countries of Europe and the United States, the country is no longer a dispensable country, on the land of the Far East, the book has become a chess player, the ambition of expansion is obvious, and what is worse is that Europe and the United States simply do not have enough strength to prevent this kind of thing from happening.

Supporting a strong agent has become an inevitable choice, Qiao Yu's status has also risen with the emergence of this mentality, French technicians have come to Sichuan, began to assist Sichuan to upgrade the Sichuan Arsenal, after discussion, the Sichuan Arsenal was split again, divided into four factories, the main body remained in Chengdu, the other three factories were established in Mianyang, Ya'an and Syria, and the Entente provided a large number of technical patents to the Yucheng Iron and Steel Plant, allowing Sichuan to produce high-quality artillery steel.

With the support of these technologies, Sichuan finally began to cast large-caliber heavy artillery, and the heavy artillery troops that stayed on paper also became a reality, and these weapons were exported to Russia in large quantities, and even Britain and France, becoming the most profitable industry in Sichuan, which is only part of the dividends of this conflict, and the war is really a good thing.
