Chapter 727: The Japanese Who Shocked the World

Madden! It doesn't get any more exciting news than this! Even the Royal Navy of the Chinese Empire's victory over the Combined Fleet fleet of the Entente, the Allies, and the United States in the Arabian Sea could not help but be overshadowed by the powerful news.

Japan, which had declared war on the Chinese Empire on the same front as the Entente powers Britain, France, Russia, the Allied Powers, Germany, Italy, Austria, and Turkey, and the United States, defied the condemnation of the world and suddenly attacked its own allies, and it was very ferocious at once, taking down all the main forces of the Pacific Fleet of the entire US Navy.

In the Qianqing Palace of the Forbidden City in Beijing, the capital of the Chinese Empire, Lin Daxin listened to the report of Li Kun, director of the Military Intelligence Bureau, and did not close his mouth for a long time, with a look of shock on his face, and then sighed for a while: "The Japanese are worthy of being an extremely crazy nation, such things can be done, and they have succeeded, even I have to admire them, so to speak, those warships of the Pacific Fleet of the US Navy have been taken away by the Japanese at present." ”

At this time, in the Qianqing Palace, there were several important ministers of the Chinese Empire, including Wang Yan, Prime Minister of the Cabinet, Wu Peifu, Minister of National Defense, Jiang Hui, Vice Minister of Defense in charge of the Navy, and Shen Peng, Director of the Secret Bureau.

Li Kun nodded and said: "Yes, Your Majesty, all the warships of the US Navy's Pacific Fleet entering the port of Yokohama in Tokyo Bay, including 2 New York-class super dreadnought battleships, 6 Delaware-class dreadnought battleships, 2 Florida-class dreadnought battleships, 2 Wyoming-class dreadnought battleships, 2 Chishaji-class all-steel battleships, 1 Illinois-class all-steel battleship, 4 Virginia-class all-steel battleships, and 4 Connecticut-class all-steel battleships, including hundreds of warships, All were completely captured by the Japanese, all the warships of the US Navy. There is basically no damage. ”

Jiang Hui, vice minister of national defense, sighed at this time and said: "The Japanese have made a lot of money this time, 2 super dreadnought battleships, 10 dreadnought battleships and 11 all-steel battleships. Combined, 23 capital battleships were more than the entire Japanese Navy. There are also 2 super dreadnought battleships with strong combat effectiveness, plus nearly 100 warships of other types, it is really a huge pie, if the Japanese Navy can digest these warships of the Pacific Fleet of the US Navy, it will be more than double in strength, but the Japanese are also bold enough, not only will the United States be completely offended by doing so, but even the Entente and the Allies will definitely begin to be hostile to Japan from now on, and the Japanese are looking for enemies all over the world! ”

Lin Daxin listened to Jiang Hui's words. I can't help laughing, originally the Chinese Empire has always been considered to be looking for enemies all over the world, and almost all the powerful countries in the world have fought a cycle, I didn't expect Japan to follow the Chinese Empire to learn, but the Chinese Empire has a strong military strength, and the Japanese have that military strength to deal with the enemies of the world?

Wu Peifu asked Lin Daxin: "Your Majesty, the Fourth Fleet, Fifth Fleet, Sixth Fleet, Hakodate Port Garrison Fleet, and submarine forces of our Royal Navy have secretly arrived in the waters outside Tokyo Bay in Japan. We are preparing to launch an attack on the combined fleet of the US Navy Pacific Fleet and the Japanese Navy in Tokyo Bay, and if something like this happens, will our Royal Navy's attack plan continue to be implemented next? ”

Lin Daxin nodded and said: "It just took advantage of the fact that the Japanese had just taken control of the Pacific Fleet of the US Navy, and they had not yet fully digested the opportunity of these warships of the Americans. We caught the Japanese off guard, and we couldn't let the Japanese easily pick up such a big bargain! ”

In the presidential office in Washington, US President Theodore? Roosevelt put a whole bunch of things on his desk. "Whoa—" Pushed to the ground, Theodore? Roosevelt's whole being was almost ignited by anger. The United States already knew that the main force of their country's Pacific Fleet was stewed by the Japanese.

Vice President William of the United States, who was also in the president's office at this time? Howard? Taft, Secretary of the Admiralty George? John Dewey and Secretary of the War Department? Joseph? Pershing. Everyone's face is also angry, and if you have seen shamelessness, you have never seen anything more shameless than the Japanese!

"Send troops! We in the United States of America can't just leave it at that! We must send troops to Japan! Capture Japan and capture Japan's Meiji Emperor alive! I'm going to hang that Meiji Emperor in Washington! "President Theodore? Roosevelt roared loudly with his fist.

Secretary of the Army, John? Joseph? Pershing said angrily: "Immediately activate the wartime mechanism of our United States of America, expand our U.S. Army to 3 million, 4 million, 5 million, anyway, the more the better, and then set foot on Japan, a brazen country." ”

President Theodore? Roosevelt slammed his fist on the desk, and then said angrily: "We, the United States of America, have given the Japanese a lot of money to develop Japan's military strength, but I didn't expect that the Japanese would not understand the Entu newspaper, but instead bit our United States of America hard, which is really shameless!" The Japanese must be taught a hard lesson! The army immediately expanded its forces in preparation for war against Japan. ”

At this time, Vice President William? Howard? Taft sighed and said: "Your Excellency, please calm down first, you must know that this time the main force of our US Navy's Pacific Fleet was all taken away by the Japanese conspiracy, and our US Navy can no longer send a powerful naval fleet to Japan in a short period of time to find trouble with the Japanese, after all, our other main fleet of the US Navy, the Atlantic Fleet, has just suffered very heavy losses in the great battle in the Arabian Sea, and now the remnants of the Atlantic Fleet are still on the way to retreat to Europe." ”

After a pause, Vice President William? Howard? Taft continued: "Although I don't want to admit it, it must be said that our United States of America will not be able to seek revenge from the Japanese in a short period of time, and even if there are millions of army troops, we will not be able to land millions of army troops on the Japanese mainland, so we can only wait for our 12 Nevada-class super dreadnought battleships and a large number of other warships under construction to complete the construction, and then study the matter of finding revenge from the Japanese." ”

Secretary of the Navy George? Dewey followed with a wry smile and said, "According to the telegram sent back by Admiral Sampson, the commander of the Atlantic Fleet. Our Atlantic Fleet currently has only 2 super dreadnought battleships, 4 dreadnought battleships, 3 all-steel battleships, 5 large fast armored cruisers, 17 fast protection cruisers, 23 destroyers, 45 torpedo boats and 4 submarines, and these are already the strongest remaining forces of our entire US Navy. At present, in our continental United States, there are basically some old warships that are about to be obsolete. With some offshore gunboats with a small displacement, after the Japanese Navy has more than 100 warships of our US Navy's Pacific Fleet, our US Navy is already in an absolute weakness in the face of the Japanese Navy, and if we want to seek revenge from the Japanese, we must wait for 1 or 2 years! ”

President Theodore? Roosevelt listened to Vice President William? Howard? Taft and Secretary of the Admiralty George? Dewey's words, I couldn't help but slam the desk hard, and then said to George? Dewey said: "Your Admiralty will immediately devote the greatest technical force to the development of more powerful super dreadnought battleships. As well as our own battle cruisers and aircraft carriers of the US Navy, we in the United States will invest a lot of money in the development of the Navy next, Japan, a bastard country, we in the United States of America will definitely not let it go! ”

Vice President William? Howard? Taft then asked, "President, what should we do next in this war against the Chinese Empire?" ”

President Theodore? Roosevelt hesitated for a moment and said: "Intensify the contact with the British and the French, prepare to withdraw from this war, we can negotiate the terms of the armistice with the Chinese Empire a little bit, and the main force of the Pacific Fleet is gone." We, the United States, have no capital in this war, and we must withdraw from this damn war as soon as possible, accumulate strength, and seek revenge from the Japanese in the future. ”

Subsequently, President Theodore? Roosevelt added: "In addition, contact the Entente and the Central Powers. Expose the hateful face of the Japanese! The Japanese, disregarding morality, suddenly attacked their allies, hoping that the Entente and the Central Powers would stand up and uphold justice. However, now the Entente and the Central Powers can condemn Japan because of the Chinese Empire. There is nothing that can be done, and revenge still has to rely on our own Americans. ”

For Japan to strike suddenly. The seizure of all the warships of the Pacific Fleet of the US Navy caused a large number of casualties to the officers and men of the Pacific Fleet of the US Navy, and the three Allied countries, Britain, France, and Russia, and the four Allied countries, Germany, Italy, Austria, and Turkey, all sided on the side of the Americans.

At the British Prime Minister's official residence at 10 Downing Street in London, England, British Prime Minister Henry? Campbell? Bannavin said with a wry smile to the Secretary of War Henry Wiley, the Secretary of the Navy Fisher, and the Minister of Foreign Affairs, the Marquis of Lansdowne: "The Japanese have taken all the Pacific Fleet of the US Navy, everyone knows, right?" ”

The Minister of Foreign Affairs, the Marquis of Lansdowne, first said: "What a shock! I didn't expect the Japanese to dare to do something to their allies, you must know that the Pacific Fleet of the US Navy went to Japan to help the Japanese deal with the Imperial Chinese Navy, although because of the disastrous defeat of the Joint Expeditionary Fleet in the Arabian Sea, the Pacific Fleet of the US Navy wanted to withdraw to the US mainland, but this is not a reason for Japan to attack its allies, it can only be said that Japan is too shameless as a country! ”

War Secretary Henry Wiley and Navy Secretary Fisher also nodded in agreement, Japan is absolutely shameless, and the Americans can let Japan get internal injuries this time.

Prime Minister Henry? Campbell? Bannavin continued: "The Pacific Fleet of the U.S. Navy is gone, and the Americans will be even more unable to fight this war, and we need to keep close contact with the United States, if Germany and Russia still want to carry on this war against the Chinese Empire, our British Empire and France, plus the United States, can withdraw from this war first, as long as we keep India of the British Empire, we will keep the hope of our British Empire to regain world domination." ”

The Minister of Foreign Affairs, the Marquis of Lansdowne, asked: "Prime Minister, what should we do about Japan's approach?" The Americans sent us telegrams to the British Empire, hoping that we would uphold justice! ”

Prime Minister Henry? Campbell? Banavin sighed and said: "Send a clear telegram condemning the actions of the Japanese, as for the rest, our British Empire is powerless now, can our British Empire still send a fleet to find trouble with Japan?" If it had been possible before the outbreak of this war with the Chinese Empire, now that our British Empire itself could not be protected, who would have the time to take care of the Americans. ”

In the Winter Palace in St. Petersburg, the capital of Russia, Tsar Nicholas II of Russia looked at the telegram in his hand and said helplessly to Finance Minister Witte, Navy Minister Makarov, and War Minister Gorrosky: "The Japanese are really ruthless, and the entire Pacific Fleet of the US Navy has been pocketed by the Japanese in this way, which has more than doubled the strength of the Japanese Navy at once, and the Japanese have made a lot of money." ”

Tsar Nicholas II's tone could not help but contain a hint of envy, if Russia could take down all the warships of the US Navy's Pacific Fleet, it would be perfect!

Chancellor of the Exchequer Witte sighed and said: "After the Americans lose the Pacific Fleet, they will not be willing to continue this war, so that Britain, France and the United States may withdraw from this war." ”

Tsar Nicholas II said stiffly: "Even if only we are left in the Russian Empire itself, this war must be fought until our Russian Empire recovers all the fallen territories!" By the way, don't forget to condemn the actions of the Japanese, in fact, the Japanese may be able to pose a greater threat to the navy of the Chinese Empire, which is still beneficial to our Russian Empire. ”

In the imperial palace in Berlin, Germany, after the German Emperor Wilhelm II knew that the Japanese had seized all the warships of the Pacific Fleet of the US Navy, he summoned German Prime Minister Hohenlohe, Chief of the Army General Staff Schlieffen and Navy Minister Tirpitz into the palace, and said in an affirmative tone: "The United States has been stabbed by the Japanese, and it will never be willing to continue this war against the Chinese Empire. Moreover, the British and French army units on the front line of the Ural Mountains are still showing signs of withdrawal, and it seems that we in Germany must strengthen the forces of the Russian battlefield again!
