The president and prime minister have taken a tough attitude, and the matter of discussing peace is about to be yellow. Looking at this attitude from Zhu Erdian's standpoint, I feel that there may not be no room for things. The fact that the government of the Republic of China has not declared war on Japan so far is very revealing.

"Your Excellency, don't get excited. I would like to let China and Japan send their own personnel to make contact, and the attitude of the ministers of the three countries who are willing to mediate for the two countries will not change. When Zhu Erdian said this, he was still very uncomfortable. Once upon a time, Chinese officials met with a teacher like a dog. Now Chinese government officials have become so tough. Since the British Empire's naval guns knocked on the door of this country, no British minister has encountered such an experience of his own, right?

Wusongkou, a fleet consisting of four warships of more than 10,000 tons, supplemented by four light cruisers, and ten destroyers, appeared at the end of the sea line of sight, with thick smoke billowing and raging. The Katori and Kashima, two battleframes ordered from the British, rushed to the front. A battleship with a displacement of 15,950 is really not a big deal in this era when warships are getting bigger and bigger. But compared to the Chinese Navy, this is the same as the Big Mac. The Satsuma and the Azuki, which are located in the back, are produced by the Yokosuka Naval Yard in Japan, with a displacement of up to 19,000 tons. If the gap between China and Japan in the army is not big, the gap in the navy, if you look at how big the gap is when you look at how much Japan can build warships of this class on its own.

If you look at the history, I don't think there are many glorious records. But whether or not a battleship can be built indicates the level of shipbuilding industry technology. A battleship involves more than a thousand technical items. How many years has Japan accumulated since the Meiji Restoration? The government of the Republic of China wanted to build its own battleships, and it did not dare to count on it within ten or eight years.

A sharp and piercing alarm sounded at the Wusongkou Fortress, which had been prepared for a long time, and the garrison commander Li Xiehe appeared in the largest fort of the fortress and occupied the best observation position, staring at the Japanese warships at sea. The command of this battle, Li Xiehe was very knowledgeable and delegated to the German advisers around him, former German Navy captain, and now Lieutenant Colonel Ernst and Burem of the Republic of China Navy.

In fact, Li Xiehe was very uncertain, the intelligence of the Military Intelligence Bureau arrived yesterday, and a Japanese fleet went south and possibly launched an attack on the Wusongkou fortress. Since Fang Jianxiong forcibly occupied Wusongkou, it has been an absolute military forbidden area. Shen Honglie took his Marine Brigade with him, as well as a Division B of Li Xiehe, to take charge of the defense of the Wusongkou Fortress. The Japanese have infiltrated very much, and naturally there is no way to know that after the expansion, Wusongkou has ten cannons of 305 caliber, ten cannons of 240 caliber, ten cannons of 210 caliber, and twenty cannons of 150 caliber, which is simply a super hedgehog.

Shen Honglie is in the No. 1 battery, where there are two German-made 305 cannons, rotating turrets, loaders, and two former German naval lieutenants are in charge of this battery, they are all from Qingdao, and they appear here as mercenaries. In fact, if Fang Jianxiong could, he would not use Germany to enter. But there is no way, these big guys, without the help of Germany, can't play at all.

A plane took off from land and flew towards the Japanese fleet, and half an hour later, the plane dropped something on the Japanese battleship, and the small parachute staggered down on the deck of the "Katori". The captain of the ship, Shintaro Shimomura, watched the soldiers rush to the deck quickly, checked the things that had fallen, and then rushed to the command cabin.

"Report, Li Xiehe, commander of the Shanghai garrison and commander of the Wusongkou Fortress, sent a plane to send a report. While the two countries were actually fighting, the Japanese fleet immediately stopped approaching Wusongkou, otherwise the battery would attack. ”

Shimomura Shintaro pursed his lips and said, "Inform the flagship!" ”

The commander of the Japanese fleet was Rear Admiral Tatsuo Matsumura, who was stationed aboard the battlecruiser Satsuma. Captain Jiro Takeuchi received the news and turned to report to Tatsuo Matsumura. Matsumura Ryuo, who was sitting on a chair in the command cabin, held the knife with both hands expressionlessly, and said lightly: "Ignore it and move on." ”

Li Xie's hands were shaking, and he kept smoking to suppress his shock. Having studied in Japan, he is well aware of the power of the Japanese Navy. In the end, this German fortress will not work, and it will not withstand the bombardment of Japanese naval guns. At this time, Li Xie and the other party's marshal invested more than 30 million silver dollars to build this fortress, and they really didn't have any confidence. If you are afraid, you should fight or fight.

Shen Honglie was quite excited, this good man from Hubei Province had never been afraid of the Japanese army. In the War of Resistance in history, Japan was stronger and the Republic of China was weaker. Even so, Shen Honglie ordered to blow up more than 20 Japanese enterprises, and his navy's subordinates scuttled the battleships, took away the naval guns, and turned the navy into infantry.

The cannon was ready to be fired, and Shen Honglie was quite excited, so he waited for Li Xiehe's order to fire the cannon.

Li Xiehe is still waiting at this time, what are you waiting for? Wait for Běi Jingfang Jianxiong's telegram.

When Fang Jianxiong received the telegram, he happened to come out of the Admiralty, and the Minister of the Navy, Sa Zhenbing, sent it out with a bunch of supplies. Since the Sino-Japanese Qingdao War, the navy has done nothing, and has not even taken action to ask for war. To be honest, Fang Jianxiong was very dissatisfied with the "rationality" of the navy. But he didn't have time to deal with this for the time being, so after returning to Beijing, he made a special trip.

After staying at the Admiralty for more than an hour and inspecting the circle, Sa Zhenbing still didn't say a word about the request for war. It seems that the war between China and Japan has nothing to do with the navy. By the way, the submarine participated in the war, but the submarine force has nothing to do with the Admiralty, and the submarine force is just a name in the Admiralty, and in fact it is directly under the Office of the Chairman of the Military Commission.

"Fu Shuai, Li Xiehe called to inquire, the Japanese ship is approaching the Wusongkou fortress, ask whether to fight or not." Yang Yongtai's voice was not loud, but Fang Jianxiong's fire ignited all of a sudden, and he suddenly raised his voice and said, "What kind of famous hall is Li Xiehe?" You go and call him back with a telegram from the Admiralty, and ask him if he wants a thousand more. Japan has entered the capital, and it has dozens of cannons and strong fortresses, so it still asks me if I can fight? Is it so terrible to enter Japan? Why is it that 50% of these people who have stayed in Japan and come back are afraid of Japan to death? Where did the backbone of China's entry go? ”

Fang Dashuai scolded Li Xiehe at the door of the Admiralty, which was a typical scolding Huai. Sa Zhenbing was on the side, and he couldn't see any clues on his face, so he calmly let go of his speechlessness. Fang Jianxiong dropped a thousand and waited for the car, and there was no kind word of farewell. Sa Zhenbing handed over Fang Dashuai's car far away, which can be regarded as a farewell to Dashuai.

"Sa Lao, what Fu Shuai said just now seems to have something to say." Li Dingxin, who was beside Sa Zhenbing, quietly handed over a sentence. Sa Zhenbing glanced at him deeply, and said lightly: "Don't you understand the strength between the Chinese and Japanese navies?" I see that Fang Fuguo also understands very well in his heart, since he understands, why make senseless sacrifices? ”

Liu Guanxiong quietly handed Li Dingxin a look on the side, signaling him not to say much. The Fujian villagers controlled the entire Admiralty, in fact, Liu Guanxiong had the idea of asking for war, but unfortunately he was pressed down by Sa Zhenbing.

"Sa Lao, the posture that should be done, still has to be done." Liu Guanxiong persuaded him, and Sa Zhenbing said lightly: "In private, you can go to Fang Fuguo to express that I have done this evil." There is so much blood left in the navy, I have to watch it closely. Those who don't understand the Navy can't be allowed to mess around. ”

Sa Zhenbing still has a big opinion on Fang Jianxiong. Since the Republic of China, naval investment has been greatly reduced. Fang Jianxiong's focus is on the formation of the army, although he has also purchased some warships and submarines for the navy, and also got a marine, but in the eyes of Sa Zhenbing, it is still too eccentric. The Wehrmacht expanded to 64 infantry divisions and 10 cavalry divisions. So much expense, enough for the Navy to buy a few battleships. Moreover, the battle in Qingdao, in Sa Zhenbing's view, is actually completely free from fighting. If so much money is thrown into the war, it is better to use it to buy warships, and only with warships can you have the confidence to compete with Japan. Japan is an island country, can you do anything about the Japanese mainland without a navy? Sa Zhenbing thought that Fang Jianxiong did not understand the navy and did not attach importance to the navy, and he also had an opinion on Fang Jianxiong's splitting of the navy into four fleets. However, Sa Zhenbing was very serious, and he didn't say what he thought in his heart, and he didn't object to the following going in to show goodwill. How so? Sa Zhenbing had a thought, and he couldn't be impulsive and lose the navy's bottom into it.

In fact, Fang Jianxiong didn't expect the navy to do anything, but he was very dissatisfied that the navy didn't even make a gesture. As everyone knows, Sa Zhenbing is worried that he is young and vigorous, and once the navy asks for war and really sends warships to attack, it will be over.

"Sa Lao's words, humiliation and shame." Liu Guanxiong touched a nail, pinched his nose and retreated. Sa Zhenbing's prestige in the navy is too high, and he has to carry it around when he says a few words.

"Sa Lao, how is the armament of Wusongkou Fortress?" Li Dingxin hurriedly helped change the topic, Sa Zhenbing heard this, his pace slowed down slightly, shook his head and said: "I don't know, Fang Fuguo is very strict, so he didn't go to join in the fun." ”

The group walked back slowly, and caught Yang Yongtai coming out of it, Sa Zhenbing raised his hand and shouted: "Changqing, how is Wusongkou's armament?" Lee Xie-he, but a layman! In such a sentence, he still betrayed Sa Zhenbing's worries.

"Sa Lao, if you ask this, I don't understand. With your prestige, who would dare to say no to Wusongkou for inspection? But you haven't been there once, hey, let's not talk about that. Let's talk about Wusongkou, I don't know the specifics, but I know that there are ten 305 mm cannons, and there are more than 20 large and small batteries. There were also more than fifty German naval officers serving as advisers and instructors. ”

Sa Zhenbing was stunned, ten 305 giant cannons? This is the first time I've heard of this, and if that's the case, the Japanese Navy may not be able to take advantage of it. The only worry is that Li Xie is reconciled.
