Chapter 353: One Thing Descends One Thing
In the next few days, chaos became a pot of porridge in the East China Sea, and Taiwan's navy and Japan's navy patrolled and cruised around the East China Sea, and from time to time they deliberately fired a few shells in each other's direction, so that the other side would demonstrate, and a big war was about to break out. And no one knows that Japan does not have the idea of going to war with the other side with Taiwan, and the Japanese direct delivery is to create tension in the East China Sea and help the Spaniards attract Taiwan's attention, so that the Spaniards can also gain the advantage of a sneak attack.
And once the tense atmosphere is created, then even if the South China Sea is secretly attacked, Taiwan will not dare to send the Taiwan Strait Fleet to support. Of course, Taiwan has already obtained their inside information and intends to plot against Spain in turn. And in order to plot against Spain, it is natural to cooperate with this Japan, and deliberately make them think that they have been tricked, so the next conflict with Japan in the East China Sea cannot be tolerated. As for the Manchu Qing Dynasty's new Beiyang sailors, they want to cry without tears when they see this scene! Because the two great gods are fighting in the East China Sea, haven't they, the little fish and shrimp, become victims?
"Captain Xing, there is a Japanese destroyer unit ahead, should we open fire and demonstrate?" The gun officer of the detachment asked.
"Fire! But don't aim directly, after all, as mentioned above, you can fire, but don't hit the enemy! Said the captain of the destroyer detachment, Xing.
"Don't fire, don't fire!"
Just as Taiwan was about to open fire, a large warship was constantly "calling" in the distance with flags to tell both sides not to open fire.
"Captain Xing, this is the Yellow Dragon Banner of the Manchu Qing Dynasty, and it is the Beiyang Naval Division of the Manchu Qing Dynasty! Do we want to keep firing? ”
When Captain Xing heard this, he also sighed and said, "After all, many of us are also from the Beiyang Naval Division, so it can be regarded as giving them some face, and it can be regarded as a period of incense!" ”
Soon, the cruiser of the Beiyang Naval Division immediately began to persuade each other not to continue fighting. During this time, the two sides opened fire on each other, blowing up a lot of fish and turtles. Suffered by the pond fish. The East China Sea has become a forbidden place for fishermen, and they dare not come to fish. And now this Manchu Qing doesn't know that he has taken the wrong medicine, and he actually wants to mediate the conflict between the two sides.
Soon, both sides were also represented. Arrived on the cruiser of the Beiyang Naval Division, ready to negotiate.
Taiwan's destroyer detachment sent a liaison officer from the political department, with the rank of captain only, who apparently did not take this Manchu mediation seriously. However, there is no good face in that Japan. They were all just sending a young minister, obviously not taking it seriously.
The two sides came to the cruiser, which was named Zhengyuan, to discuss the next three-party relationship.
"Two, I am the pipe band of the cruiser Zhengyuan of my Beiyang Naval Division of the Great Qing Dynasty, and I have the rank of deputy general, my name is Sun Nian." Sun Nian said.
And this Sun Nian's rank of deputy general is actually converted into a regular military rank, which is equivalent to a brigadier general, or a colonel in Taiwan. However, he is just a captain here. And I'm afraid the next one won't be much better.
"Two, isn't it inappropriate for you to cruise in the waters of our Great Qing Dynasty?" Sun Nian asked.
And Taiwan's liaison staff officer immediately said: "Fart, isn't our Taiwan navy China's navy?" Isn't our Chinese navy able to patrol our territorial waters? ”
Sun Nian was embarrassed and speechless, because he couldn't say that Taiwan was not China's place, right? If he dares to say this, don't say that Wang Guorui will not let him go when the time comes, even Li Hongzhang in the Manchu Qing Dynasty will not let him go. At that time, in order to let Wang Guorui give up the idea of independence, it was at the expense of Li Hongzhang's son's arm and future in exchange for Wang Guorui's promise not to be independent. And if he dares to say so, Taiwan is not China's territory. Then Li Hongzhang and the people of the Beiyang Group also dared to skin him alive.
And now Taiwan is cruising in its territorial waters as its own team, which obviously makes sense, and this is irrefutable. But Sun Nian was helpless, and asked him to hurry up and send Taiwan and Japan away. Bringing peace to the East China Sea is not an easy task!
This is like dancing on top of two eggs, and you can't step on either one! So Sun Nian was very embarrassed, he didn't know what to do.
"Nonsense, this is the territorial waters of our Great Japanese Empire, and the entire East China Sea is the inland sea of our Great Japanese Empire. What if our Imperial Japanese warships were cruising in their own inland seas? Japanese Shaozo said.
"What the are you talking about? The East China Sea is your inland sea in Japan? The captain from Taiwan asked.
"Yes!" Japan Shaosa replied.
But that Sun Nian retorted awkwardly: "Taiwan should be a sea area shared by our Qing Dynasty and Japan, not your inland sea, right?" ”
"Smack!"
The Japanese Shaozo slapped Sun Nian, and then said, "I said yes, don't intervene!" ”
"Smack!" Sun Nian immediately slapped the table and said angrily: "What are you doing? I'm a lieutenant general, and you actually beat me? ”
Sun Nian was simply furious, he was a deputy general, at least he was a brigadier general in other countries, and he was a colonel in Taiwan, but he was beaten by a Japanese major, which is simply unreasonable. In the army, it is very important to be inferior and inferior, even if the officers go to foreign countries, they must be given appropriate treatment according to their ranks, and they can prepare a certain number of officers of the same rank to come and receive them. But now this Japanese Shaozo actually dares to slap a respect, which is simply the following offense.
"What if I hit you? The people of China? The Japanese soldier replied.
"You-" That Sun Nian immediately wanted to take out a pistol from his pocket.
"Sun Guandai, calm down, do you want to provoke a war between the imperial court and Japan? I'm an overseer, and you must listen to me! Another officer on the warship said.
In the Beiyang Naval Division, in order to strengthen the control of the naval division, the Manchu Qing Dynasty had a banner man as a supervisor on each warship, and they were the ones who held the final decision. And this prison army saw that Sun Nian wanted to pull out a gun, and immediately came out to stop it, obviously not daring to provoke a war between the two countries. If this Sun Nian kills this Japanese soldier Shaozuo, then I'm afraid they can't afford to bear it!
When Sun Nian heard this, he also gritted his teeth and put the pistol back. And the Japanese soldier was even more proud, obviously looking down on Sun Nian, the "colonel", he didn't put Sun Nian in his eyes at all.
"Hmph, isn't it too shameful to beat our colleagues in front of me?" Taiwan's liaison officer asked.
"Hmm!" The Japanese army Shaozo was a little hesitant.
Because of them, the Taiwanese Navy and the Beiyang Naval Division of the Manchu Qing Dynasty, neither side looks like colleagues, because their military uniforms are different. And Japan subconsciously forgot that Taiwan is still hanging under the banner of the Manchu Qing Dynasty, so he is now beating this Sun Nian, and Taiwan's liaison officer said that he beat his colleagues in the Taiwan Navy, which is not unreasonable. Therefore, the Japanese army Shaozo was also a little embarrassed, and he seemed to feel that a not very good situation had happened.
"Who helped me throw this guy into the sea?" Taiwan's liaison officer asked, pointing to the Japanese soldier Shaozo.
Everyone present also looked at each other, apparently not responding for a while. And the officers and soldiers of the sailors above the Manchu Beiyang Naval Division also looked at Sun Nian and the supervising army, obviously asking them if they wanted to help the people in Taiwan, this guy was thrown into the sea?
"What happened today, we in Taiwan will bear it with all our might!" The liaison officer said.
Hearing this, a gunner of the Beiyang Naval Division immediately said: "I'll help you, sir, throw this guy into the sea!" ”
"Let's go, let's go together, since there are adults in Taiwan to bear, then what are we afraid of?" A couple of sailors said.
And soon, the Japanese soldier Shaozuo immediately said angrily: "What are you doing? I am the Navy Major of the Great Japanese Empire, and you people dare to be so rude to me? ”
"Hurry up and give it to me, just throw this guy into the sea, and we Taiwan will bear it!" The liaison officer said again.
"Hey, hey, what are you going to do?" The Japanese soldier Shaozuo hurriedly said angrily.
"Smack!"
The Japanese Shaozo was thrown into the sea, and Sun Nian and the banner man's supervisor also sighed silently. They could have stopped the soldiers just now, but they didn't give the order to stop them. Anyway, this time, the people in Taiwan said that they would bear it with all their might, so the responsibility was also pushed to Taiwan. And this Sun Nian and that banner man were also a little helpless in their hearts, and the order they received was absolutely not to offend any party, especially not to offend Japan. So they were slapped by a junior officer this time, and they didn't dare to object and retaliate.
And how chic the Taiwanese Navy was, they threw him directly into the sea. It's all the Chinese Navy, why is the gap so big?
The Manchu court told them that they had to be patient, and that they would never be able to offend the Japanese navy, and that if they provoked them, they would be held very responsible, and even punished. And the meaning of the Manchu court is to let them not fight back and scold and not return the mouth, so this makes them very aggrieved. However, Taiwan's instruction to the troops under its command is that if anyone does not offend me, I will not offend anyone, and if anyone offends me, I will offend others. Moreover, if someone beats you, then you have to fight back, and even many more hits to be considered revenge. And they are all squadrons, and the gap is really too big. Taiwan is like Sun Tzu in cleaning up Japan, but the mainland has the entire mainland, and it has ended up in such a tragic end, which is simply too hurtful. (To be continued.) )
