Chapter 251: When the Forced Surrender is in progress
Because of the British Navy's attack on Hergoland, the German Navy was preparing to retaliate, and a large number of submarines rushed from the Baltic Sea to the North Sea naval base.
However, the British navy did not dare to go too deep into the North Sea, and has been intercepting cargo ships preparing to enter the North Sea in the North Sea, and the Nordic countries dare not speak out, especially the Netherlands, which has protested to the British government several times, they still have a war in the East Indies, and the British army has undoubtedly cut off their logistical support for the garrison in the East Indies, but the British army still did not let it go.
The British government's reasons were very strong, and no one knew whether the Dutch would secretly help the Germans transport supplies, so no matter how much the Dutch government protested, there was no way.
After the bombing of London, Germany bombed the cities along the North Sea coast of Britain several times, because the British government had been prepared for a long time, and the losses were not very severe, but the cities were bombed into ruins.
The British blockade of the North Sea almost cut off Germany's foreign maritime trade, and a large number of overseas materials could not be transported in by sea, but could only be routed to China by land through the Ottoman Empire, which undoubtedly brought huge consumption to Germany.
Therefore, the German navy is preparing to retaliate against Britain and even the Allied powers, and they are also eager to test the power of their submarine forces, so a large number of submarines will secretly rush to the Atlantic and the Mediterranean Sea to attack the ships of the Allied countries transporting supplies.
At a time when a bigger war was brewing on the European side, there were also wars in Asia, such as India and Annam, which were constantly revolting, the Chinese Federal Empire, which was aggressively attacking Fuso, the South China Republic, which was expanding by the Dutch colonies, and Central Asia, which was constantly at war.
In the East Indies, the Republic of South China, with the help of the Dutch fleet that surrendered, quickly occupied the whole of Sumatra and its affiliated islands, and was preparing plans for an attack on Java.
At present, the East Indies are under the control of the Dutch garrison, except for the islands on the line of Java and the islands east of Sulawesi.
The Germans entrenched in the eastern part of the island of Papua took the western island of Papua without blood, unified the entire island, and then took over the Maluku Islands. In response, the Republic of South China and its China protested to Germany, which had to hand over the Northern Maluku Islands to the Republic of South China.
In Annam, after the rebel army occupied Zhongqi, it attacked from south to north, and with the support of the people, the rebel army quickly expanded its gains. The rebels fought several large-scale battles with the French in Beiqi, and at one point the rebels attacked the Hanoi area, using the rainforest to lure the French into the dense rainforest, and then used their familiarity with the rainforest to inflict heavy losses on the French.
The situation in Nanqi was slightly better than in Beiqi, and the rebels were victorious in Nanqi, and the French army was defeated. In a sense, Beiqi is the place where the French army is heavily guarded, because it is not only the border with China, but also the center of the French rule in Annam, so the French army in Nanqi is far inferior to Beiqi, which also gives the rebel army an opportunity.
At this time, Cambodia and Laos, Thailand were directly bordered by Annam, so after Thailand joined the Huaxia Federation, Huaxia Tong Guò Thailand could easily transport the obsolete weapons to the entire Annam, and the revolutionary rebel army led by Pan Peizhu did not have a shortage of weapons, but became more and more powerful.
It was precisely in this way that Huaxia easily came into contact with the leaders of the rebel army in various parts of Annam, bribed a large number of rebel leaders with weapons and money, and even inserted a large number of people into the rebel army in order to prevent the rebel army from getting out of control.
In Central Asia, the Ottoman Empire and the Balkan coalition forces allowed the Balkan coalition forces to enter the Central Asian battlefield, which also led to the defeat of the British and French coalition forces in Iran, Afghanistan and other places, most of Afghanistan was occupied by the allies, and Iran was also occupied by a small half.
In the Saudi region, the Ottoman army and Abdulaziz regained Saudi Arabia and drove the British army, all the way from Riyadh to the southern Arabian Peninsula.
On 5 May, with the support of the Allied Powers, Abdulaziz formally established the independence of the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia from the rule of evil Britain and joined the Allied Powers in declaring war on the Entente, for which the Allied membership continued to expand. In return for the help of the Ottoman Empire, Abdulaziz divided parts of the northern part of the country to the Ottoman Empire and signed a no-aggression pact.
Fuso, the Red Army of Kyushu Island has all retreated, and the entire Kyushu Island has been unified by the Chinese army, and a large number of Chinese officials rushed here to carry out the task of post-war reconstruction.
On May 7, after continuous fighting, the Red Army finally cleared out the government forces in Hokkaido, and officially declared independence from the Fuso Emperor in Sapporo and established the Toei People's Republic, which was occupied by Hokkaido and its affiliated islands. The Dongying Red Party was very amuseful in not claiming sovereignty over Sakhalin, recognizing Sakhalin and its Kyushu Island, also known as Dongri Island, as Chinese territory in an attempt to obtain help from China.
On the same day, the Soviet recognized Dongying and established diplomatic relations with it, Huaxia saw that Dongying was so knowledgeable, and did not want to include Dongying in the Federation, so he recognized Dongying's independence and sent envoys there to establish diplomatic relations and demarcate the border between the two countries. After China's recognition, Chile established diplomatic relations with Ecuador and the Republic of South China, followed by the establishment of diplomatic relations with Dongying Telegraph.
"Damn, the army in Hokkaido is a bunch of rubbish, how does the military department work? It was occupied by the Red Army, and immediately issued a statement not to recognize the independence of the Red Party, and prepared the army to march north, so that the army of Huatai Island could go south, and the Red Army must be annihilated! ”
The emperor roared at a group of ministers and pointed the finger at the military headquarters, indirectly expressing his dissatisfaction with Yamaguchi Aritomo and others. Since these veterans came out to take over the military department, Emperor Taisho was completely hollowed out, and Yamaguchi Youtomo and others once threatened him with the abolition of his throne, and now not only Kyushu Island has been lost, but even Hokkaido has been lost, Taisho is really angry, this is his world!
War Minister Yusaku Uehara and Yama Prefecture Youpeng glanced at each other and said, "Your Majesty, don't do it!" The northern part of the island has now been captured by the Chinese people, and the southern army still has to resist the attack of the Chinese and cannot be transferred. We also did not have troops to go north, the Chinese had already landed in the southern part of Honshu Island, and a large number of Chinese troops had landed from Hamamatsu and other places, and we had to prevent them from continuing to the north to endanger the Gyeonggi region, so most of the troops were mobilized to resist the Chinese army, and it was impossible to go north to quell the rebellion. ”
Yusaku Uehara was reappointed Minister of War after Yamamoto stepped down, and the original Minister of War resigned with Yamamoto's resignation.
The Chinese army had landed in many areas of Fusang, and the Fusang army rushed to block it, but the Chinese army successfully landed with the help of warship fire, so the Fuso military headquarters had to mobilize the army to the place where the Chinese army landed to intercept the Chinese army.
After landing in the southernmost part of Honshu Island, more than 200,000 troops swept into the Kure Harbor Naval Base and fought a large-scale battle with the Fuso army in Kure Harbor, opening a gap in the 300,000-strong garrison of Kure Harbor in one day.
The Wugang Naval Base was not held long before it was breached by the Huaxia army, and the Fusang army was occupied by the Huaxia army before it could destroy the equipment of the Wugang Naval Base, and more than 100,000 Fusang troops fled north in a hurry.
Originally, according to the Fusang Military Department's estimate, 300,000 troops could hold the Wugang base, and even if they couldn't hold it, they could hold on until the arrival of reinforcements, but they didn't expect the Chinese army to transport tanks to the southern area of Wugang, and under the assault of more than 20 tanks, the Fusang defense line was opened a huge gap, and then the Chinese army was defeated and retreated by the crazy influx, and had to abandon Wugang and retreat.
The situation in the south made the military headquarters and even the whole of Fuso very panicked, and the military department frantically forced the recruitment of soldiers, and in just a few days, more than 1.5 million soldiers were summoned, and a defensive line was built in the Kobe and Kyoto areas, and the Chinese army that was ready to use this as a major base to recover the annihilation and landing in the southern region could not take care of Hokkaido at all, and even transferred a part of the army from Hokkaido, otherwise the Red Army would not have been so smooth.
"Then let the Red Army act recklessly in Hokkaido? How did you guarantee that I would transfer power to the military department, but I didn't expect it to be like this, how do you say to solve it? Because of the mistakes of the military department, the current situation has been guided, and more and more people are dissatisfied with the elders such as Youpeng in Shanxian County, and many people are supporting Taisho, so he also has the confidence to reprimand the military department.
In the face of the emperor's rebuke, Yamaprefecture Youpeng and others turned pale, which was scolding them for being incompetent in disguise, but they still didn't feel that they were wrong in their hearts, and no one could change it in the face of the current situation, and even did not do as well as them.
"Report to Your Majesty, the aircraft carrier of the people of China off the coast of Gyeonggi! They sent a telegram demanding that the empire surrender unconditionally, or else bomb Dongjing and raze the whole of Dongjing to the ground! They gave a 24-hour time limit. An officer shouted as he ran in with a big head.
Emperor Taisho sat on the throne with a depressed expression, and the sound of bombing Dongjing was constantly lingering in his brain, and he didn't know if he would be able to survive the bombing, and he was very scared in his heart.
"Impossible, even if you bomb Dongjing, you can't surrender unconditionally, and you swear not to surrender?"
"What else can you do besides surrendering, sooner or later the empire will not be able to support it, it is better to surrender and preserve your strength, and you can make a comeback in the future!"
"Agree to surrender, but not unconditionally!"
"Oppose surrender, the Great Fusang Empire must not surrender!"
“……”
There are those who support surrender and those who oppose surrender, and the former is the most vocal. Youpeng and others in Shanxian County did not squeak on the side, in their opinion, surrender or non-surrender are the same, and in the end there must be no such status.
The navy is gone, the elite of the army is all lost, the current army of more than 1.5 million seems to be many, but it cannot be compared with the regular army at all, weapons, ammunition and other materials are extremely scarce, only more than 700,000 soldiers have guns and other weapons, the rest are soldiers wielding katana and other cold weapons, and the Chinese army armed to the teeth cannot be compared.
If you don't surrender, the Gyeonggi region will inevitably be bombed, the royal family and the government may be bombed, and millions of people will have no choice but to surrender or fight to the death.
