The bombing of Vladivostok lasted fifteen days. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 ｉｎｆｏ

During these 15 days, the bomber units of the Northern Expeditionary Corps dropped more than 5,000 tons of bombs on Vladivostok, including incendiary bombs and poison gas bombs.

Now that the defenders are determined to die, Chen Kangjian no longer risks the lives of his soldiers, and it is a good idea to consume incendiary bombs and poison gas bombs instead of soldiers' lives, and it is also conducive to improving the weaknesses of these two weapons.

For example, poison gas bombs, in fact, as early as the beginning of the world war, the British knew how to mix phosgene and chlorine gas, until the appearance of mustard gas, mustard gas became the most used poison gas bomb on the battlefield.

The Northern Expeditionary Corps was originally equipped with mustard poison gas, but in use, the researchers of the army found that the effect of use was not good, so they began to improve the mustard poison gas, after a variety of ratio research, the use of mustard poison gas and chlorine gas mixed with the best effect, so this became the standard equipment of the Lanfang army.

The same is true for incendiary bombs, the original incendiary bombs of the Northern Expeditionary Corps only added asphalt to the shells to support combustion, but in actual combat, it was found that the combustion effect was not very good, so under the prompting of Qin Zhiyuan, the researchers began to use thermite and yellow phosphorus......

Qin Zhiyuan used to be an agent, so it was effortless to make an incendiary bomb or something, and the materials used were all available in the supermarket.

With the advent of new weapons, the combat effectiveness was greatly improved, so Vladivostok, as the first fortress in the Far East, became a tragedy.

Initially, when incendiary bombs and poison gas bombs were dropped, people could be seen staggering out of the target, and then falling to the ground without moving.

In the end, no matter how much was thrown, the fortress complexes were silent, but there were still sporadic explosions.

So Chen Kangjian ordered again that the infantry squad accompanying the tanks was mainly composed of demomen, and blasted all the buildings in sight, whether there were people in them, whether there was any use value or not.

This method was simple and crude, and it finally made the Russians who held Vladivostok completely desperate.

In mid-May, on the twenty-first day of the Northern Expeditionary Army's assault on Vladivostok, the defenders began to blast all the buildings containing the port facilities, intending to destroy Vladivostok with them.

Chen Kangjian did not hesitate, and immediately ordered the bomber unit to go out again and set fire to all the buildings in Vladivostok that were visible to the naked eye.

The fire burned for ten days, and the sound of explosions continued for ten days

Vladivostok was finally in ruins.

To what extent?

So much so that the military observers of Britain, France, and the United States unanimously concluded that Vladivostok could not be restored to its original state within 10 years.

Although Japan is also an Entente country, Japan did not send a military observation mission, not because the Japanese did not want to send it, but because the Lanfang government did not agree.

From the first day of its establishment, the Lanfang government clearly showed its hostility to the Japanese government, and did not hide it in the slightest.

During the Dutch East Indies, there were still some Japanese living in the land under the current Lanfang, but after the establishment of Lanfang, the number of Japanese people in the current Lanfang country was 0.

It may seem incredible, but that's what it is.

The Japanese government immediately cried at the Paris Peace Conference that Lan Fang had carried out a terrible massacre against the Japanese population, but unfortunately it did not arouse widespread sympathy, only the British said a few words without being salty, and the French and Americans chose not to hear it.

Lan Fang's attack on Vladivostok also caused an uproar in Japan, and the Japanese opposed Lan Fang's northward movement in various ways, and even proposed that the Japanese army could replace Lan Fang to go north, but was collectively rejected by France, the United States, and Britain.

Lan Fang's northward march was part of the Foreign Legion's northward movement, and the two were inseparable, and it was also one of the conditions for the Foreign Legion to attack Moscow.

With the capture of Vladivostok by the Foreign Legion, Russian rule in the Far East quickly collapsed.

Almost within a few days, Amirsk, Amga, and Turom were occupied by the Northern Expeditionary Corps, and the speed of occupation was equal to the advance speed of the Northern Expeditionary Corps.

Previously, Sakhalin and Kamchatka were already under the control of the Northern Expeditionary Corps.

By the end of May, the Foreign Legion had more than 1.5 million square kilometers under its control, even to the point of concern in Britain and the United States.

The French understood this, and from the perspective of the allies, although the French did not want Lan Fang's strength to be too strong, in the eyes of the French, Siberia, which looked like a barren land, was really useless, and it did not have much effect on the enhancement of Lan Fang's national strength.

Siberia is just too big!

How big is it?

Even if a certain deposit is found in Siberia, it is not of real value to be extracted, because the cost of transporting the ore far exceeds the value of the ore itself.

So the riches of the Siberian underground are well known, but the surface part is a thousand miles of wasteland.

However, for the Chinese, even if the mineral deposits cannot be mined, as long as there is land, it means that there is everything.

Therefore, in Lanfang's latest immigration policy, if you choose to immigrate to Siberia, then the government can provide loans to buy machinery, and within one year, the use rights of all the land reclaimed by the farmers will always belong to the farmers themselves, and no matter how much land is reclaimed within ten years, there is no need to pay any fees.

God, is there a place in the world where land can be cultivated infinitely?

And the government can still provide tractors?

Don't think that illiterate people don't know how to use tractors, they may not be able to repair them, but if it's just an operation, if you try it, you will find that it's not much more troublesome than driving a cattle cart, at least the tractor doesn't need to communicate.

And in the vast Siberian wilderness, you can drive a tractor and have fun at will, without worrying about hitting people or cars.

The first batch of immigrants to Siberia, numbering more than 5,000 people, entered Siberia like throwing a handful of pebbles into the sea, without even splashing water.

By the way, just like when the Russians captured Siberia, the Northern Expeditionary Corps did not "find" any Russians in the process of going north.

Of course, the reason is not because of the massacre of the Northern Expeditionary Corps, but because all the Russians have fled, and they do not dare to live under the Northern Expeditionary Corps, because the burning Vladivostok has illuminated the whole of Siberia, and everyone knows what is happening in Vladivostok.

What happened in Siberia did not cause any waves, because throughout April and most of May, the world's attention was focused on the Royal Cruise ship "Black Swan".

Just by listening to the name, you know that the "Black Swan" royal cruise ship belongs to the Lanfang royal family.

It was not built specifically for the Lanfang royal family, but a cruise ship ordered from England by a French shipping company.

The outbreak of the world war delayed the ship's delivery, and the ship was repeatedly delayed due to the rush to build a naval ship, and by the time the ship was finally launched, the shipping company that had ordered the ship had gone out of business, and the ship was left ownerless.

When Qin Zhiyuan heard the news, Qin Zhiyuan contacted his old friend, Gary Parker, sales manager of the Portsmouth Rover Alliance shipyard.

So Qin Zhiyuan got this 23,000-ton cruise ship.

23,000 tons, doesn't that sound too small?

But Qin Zhiyuan is very satisfied, because 23 is an auspicious number, not because of Michael Jordan, but because Qin Zhiyuan is 23 years old this year.

Since October last year, this cruise ship has been converted into a cruise ship, because it does not need to serve too many people, and there are not too many rooms on board, so more functional facilities have been added, and at the same time the survivability has been greatly enhanced, and after modification, the "Black Swan" also has a certain air defense and anti-submarine capability, which looks a bit nondescript, but it is in line with Qin Zhiyuan's military identity.

In fact, the weapons on board the "Black Swan" are estimated to have little chance of use, because the "Black Swan" returned to the Far East with 12 destroyers, two freighter-converted aircraft carriers, and a battleship gifted by the French government.

That's right, in order to express its gratitude and friendship to Qin Zhiyuan, the French government presented a battleship to the Lanfang Navy, built in 09, launched in 11 years, and just commissioned in 14 years - "Paris".

Of course, now this battleship is not called "Paris", but "France", which is the same name as one of his sister ships, another Guba-class battleship, to prove the friendship between Lanfang and France.

"France" is the first battleship of the Lanfang Navy, with a length of 166 meters, a width of 27 meters, a draft of 9.04 meters, and a full load displacement of 25,579 tons.

As for the two aircraft carriers, which are now called "aircraft carriers" more customarily, they were converted from cargo ships, which was also the common method at this time.

For the Navy, aircraft carriers are still in a subordinate position and do not attract enough attention.

Qin Zhiyuan does not intend to remind governments of the importance of aircraft carriers, on the contrary, Qin Zhiyuan is also preparing to jointly build a battleship of Lanfang blood with France - the "Legion" class.

Lan Fang's shipyard is under construction, and when the shipyard is completed, Qin Zhiyuan will join forces with the French to build a new battleship, for which Qin Zhiyuan has reached an agreement with the Secretary of the Navy George Leger, and various basic data of the "Legion" class battleship have also been determined.

The "Legion" class battleship has a standard displacement of 35,000 tons, a draft of 9.1 meters, and is equipped with four twin 410 mm guns, with a maximum speed of 25 knots.

According to the experience of the Battle of Jutland, the defensive armor design draws on the concept of key protection, and strengthens the defensive armor in key areas, especially the horizontal defensive armor, to resist the impact of large-angle falling shells in long-distance artillery battles, and the defensive armor in non-key areas is reduced or withdrawn.

It may seem that the data of the battleships of the "Legion" class is very powerful, but in reality it is not realistic.

Qin Zhiyuan has never set the target on battleships, even if it is a "legion-class" planning plan, this is just a pretext for Qin Zhiyuan to provoke an arms race, Qin Zhiyuan's real purpose is submarines and aircraft carriers, which is a sharp weapon for future wars.

As early as the beginning of April, Qin Zhiyuan returned to Lanfang with his wife, no, now it should be the princess, Julie, as well as Foch, Old Renault and others.

This attracted the attention of the whole world, because the overlord from the Far East was finally returning to his country.

It's like a lion returning to the grassland, like a goshawk flying into the blue sky, like a giant shark entering the deep sea, what the Far Eastern overlord will do next has become a topic of conversation in the media all over the world.
