Chapter 169: Fuso's Excitement
Yamamoto Gonbei is now dying of sorrow, the sudden red revolution in Tsarist Russia broke the plan he and a group of Fuso elites, and the Tsarist government did not show weakness to China in accordance with the entente and sued for peace, so angry that he almost vomited blood, and promised to divide China together?
Because of the Russian government's request for peace, Fuso's expectation of Yingfa's pressure on Huaxia was also completely shattered, in order to stabilize the Tsarist Russia, Yingfa and the two countries now don't even mention the matter of Huaxia's seizure of cargo ships, and are trying their best to make up for the relationship with Huaxia, and they are also very hesitant about Fuso's continued request for them to transport materials, for fear of really offending the Huaxia Empire.
It is not to blame for the British and the German, as the civil strife in Tsarist Russia has greatly reduced the strength of the Entente camp, which is in stark contrast to the thriving Allies. Without the containment of Tsarist Russia, Germany can fight with the Entente with all its heart, and can also get in touch with China through the land, that is, China can provide a large amount of material support to Germany through Guò, the Middle East and other places, and even if they use the navy to blockade the sea areas outside Germany, Germany can also obtain sufficient resources, of course, this must be based on China's accession to the Central Powers. Therefore, they must stabilize Huaxia, even if they can't let Huaxia join them, they must also keep Huaxia neutral and not help each other.
In the past, the two countries hoped to use Fusang to drag down and wear down Huaxia's strength, but they did not expect Huaxia to use new weapons to make Fusang's navy dare not enter China's territorial waters, and even lost Duwan. I didn't expect that Huaxia would not hesitate to seize the materials he supported Fusang at the risk of war with himself in order to defeat Fusang, but fortunately Fusang paid the money, otherwise they would have to vomit blood.
Yamamoto Gonbei is also very aggrieved about the navy, but they are the first in the strength of the Asian navy, but they were slapped hard by the weak Huaxia, because of those rats who hid in the sea and did not dare to take their heads! The Fuso Navy gave the Huaxia submarine a very unique title of 'mouse', a mouse that cannot see the light.
"Your Excellency Prime Minister, the loss of Duwan has made the people of the empire very dissatisfied, according to the survey, the people's support for us is declining sharply, and several major chaebols are also very dissatisfied, their losses are very large, and even those parties have expressed their opinions that we are not in a good position to cause today's situation!" Yamamoto's assistant watched with apprehension, and Yamamoto looked at the face turning iron, and Yamamoto carefully summed up the events of the past two days.
Yamamoto Gonbei was furious, the situation caused today was not something he could have predicted at all, the plan couldn't catch up with the changes, and it was strange that he had to put all the sins on him and not be angry.
"A bunch of bastards, they just wish I had stepped down sooner! It's unreasonable to put all the blame on me now! Do those ignorant populaces know something to send the navy to death? China is not the China of the Manchu Qing Dynasty, and it already has enough capital to fight against the empire, if the empire has no external support, it will not be able to support China with resources that are more abundant than ours, I don't know how many times! ”
"The losses of the chaebol are large? Isn't the loss of the military department not great? It's just a group of outbreaks, and they even slapped my face, what about paying the most taxes, be careful that I pull all your children to the front line to join the army, see how you cry! ”
When the assistant heard this, he was in a cold sweat, and he didn't expect His Excellency the Prime Minister to be so black-bellied, and he had to go back and warn his family not to get involved in the affairs inside.
"Your Excellency Prime Minister, there is also an important piece of information here, Huang Cheng of China was recalled by the government to the imperial capital of China for a meeting, and at this time he has arrived in the area of Chang'an, and after Huang Cheng left, only a group of his henchmen are left to firmly grasp the military power in the southwest coastal areas such as Nanhai Province."
"What, that idiot wants to return to the imperial capital of China, it will be a Hongmen banquet, so that the plan for civil strife in China will go bankrupt, without Huang Cheng, his pig-like subordinates will not dare to make trouble at all! So we have to stop him from going north and let him sneak back to Nanhai Province secretly to launch the plan in advance. After Yamamoto Gonbei was taken aback, he immediately thought about how to stop Huang Cheng from going to the imperial capital, not afraid of 10,000, just in case!
After racking his brains, Yamamoto Gonbei came up with a solution, he commanded in the ear of his assistant, and Huang Cheng, who was reminiscing at the house of an 'old friend' in Chang'an, suddenly felt a chill down his spine and couldn't help but shiver.
In the port of the naval base in Yokohama, Fuso, there are several submarines sailing in the sea, all of which are printed with an oversized plaster logo on their bodies, and they are sneaking to a depth of 50 meters, and the speed is not fast, which is about three or four knots.
Suddenly, several submarines stopped, the splints of the lower body slowly opened, and two huge 'eggs' were laid, and then slowly sank, and after sinking for dozens of meters, they began to move and float there quietly.
Inside the submarine, a soldier who was watching the egg-laying process through the Guò submarine telescope shouted: "Apayasu bless, we have succeeded, our sinking mines have finally succeeded!" ”
"Hooray, it's great that we finally have a nemesis who can restrain the submarine in China!"
"Hooray......
The Fuso soldiers in the submarine were very excited, hugging each other and cheering with tears in their eyes, and even the captain was very excited.
At this moment, a dilapidated submarine slowly headed towards the sinking mine, and the nearby submariners all held their breath, silently as if listening to something.
"Boom!"
When the dilapidated submarine touched the mine, the mine exploded immediately, and a huge hole was blown out of the head of the submarine, and the sea water poured into it frantically, and after a while, the submarine sank at a speed visible to the naked eye, and several Fuso soldiers in the tail of the submarine escaped wearing heavy diving buckets.
"It worked, it really worked, hooray!"
"This is the real success, the end of the China Navy has arrived!"
"I really hope to be able to mass-produce and improve it as much as possible!"
“……”
The news of the successful test of the submerged mine was soon reported to the military headquarters, and the top officials of Fuso, who heard the news, danced like a child to express their excitement, and Yamamoto Gonbei personally rushed to the Yokohama military base to check it out.
"What is the cost of these sunken mines, and can they be produced? What about power and depth? ”
Yamamoto Gonbei, who was inspecting the company, asked a few questions, and several researchers next to him couldn't turn around so fast for a while, and thought for a while before replying: "Report to the Prime Minister, the cost of these sunken mines is not high, but it will take time to produce them, and the power is three points more powerful than ordinary mines, and the depth is about seventy to eighty meters." ”
"How long does it take to produce Huahua?"
"At least a month!" The researcher gritted his teeth.
Yamamoto Gonbei's brows furrowed, a month was too long, but seeing the researcher's expression, he knew that a month was already the limit.
"Then I'll give you a month, but you can produce as much as you can in this month. In addition, I hope that you will be able to develop a new torpedo against submarines, and you must do your best! ”
"Yes!"
After all, mines can only be used as a means of self-preservation, and the manpower and material resources required to clean them up are higher than the value of mines.
"Your Excellency, in fact, the reason why the sinking mine can be successfully researched so quickly is to borrow German technology, and our special high-tech personnel in Germany accidentally discovered that the German Navy is also researching weapons to combat submarines, and has already achieved certain results, and according to these materials, we have made our own sinking mines!" The assistant explained in Yamamoto's ear.
Gonbei Yamamoto didn't say anything when he heard this, but just gently wrote down the credit of Tegaoke in his heart.
"In addition, the empire's submarines have also made great progress, although they are not as powerful as the China people, but I believe they are not far behind, thanks to the infighting character of the China people!" The assistant said that in the end, his eyes were full of contempt.
Gonbei Yamamoto was even more excited when he heard this, with submarines and sunken mines, the Shina Navy was not worth mentioning at all, "How long will it take to modify and produce submarines?" ”
"It will take at least two months for modification and testing, as for production, it will be a bit difficult, you also know that the empire has very little experience in submarine production, and the factory is almost non-existent, and it is estimated that it will take half a year to form production!"
"To increase investment in submarines, we must speed up, it is too important for the Empire!"
The progress of submarines and sunken mines was like a shot in the arm for the top brass of Fuso, who had doubts about whether they could win, and they were instantly full of fighting spirit and swept away the haze brought by the Huaxia submarine.
In the imperial capital of Huaxia, Qin Yu was silent for a long time with the information that Fusang had researched the sinking mines, although this kind of thing had already existed in Huaxia, he still didn't want others to study it so quickly, especially his enemy Fusang.
"Find a way to get a copy of the specific number, check how Fusang researched, is someone in the empire leaking the news?" Qin Yu was very suspicious that someone had leaked the news, otherwise Fusang would not have researched it so quickly, and the submarine had only been exposed for less than half a month.
Qin Hai nodded to indicate that he understood.
Fusang Dongjing, the ambassador of the United States to Fuso, Larry was shocked to see the telegram sent from China, isn't the United States on a honeymoon with the Chinese Empire? Didn't you support Huaxia against Fusang before, why do you want to secretly support Fusang now?
Although shocked, but Larry also understands people, the favorite thing of the rice people is to sell arms, and it is most reasonable to sell to Fusang at the same time as selling to Huaxia, only if the two countries continue to fight, the United States can not only earn benefits, but also weaken the two countries.
In the past, because of the need to compete for and open the market in Huaxia and suppress Fuso, they supported Huaxia, whether it was military or industrial, as long as Huaxia could afford to make money, they basically sold it. But now Fusang is unexpectedly at a disadvantage, and if it continues, Fusang, which has been blocked by Huaxia, will not be able to hold on at all, which is not what they want, so there is the matter of Leyry receiving this telegram.
