Chapter 414: Lin Daxin's confidence

On May 15, 1902, in the office of Lin Daxin, the governor of Shenyang City, Lin Daxin listened to the report of Li Kun, director of the Military Intelligence Bureau, with a gloomy face. ¢£Top¢£Dot¢£Small¢£ Say, x.

"Headmaster, the intelligence officers of our military intelligence agency in Russia and the intelligence officers in Japan have sent back a message that Britain, Germany, France, Russia, Italy, the United States, Japan, and Austria-Hungary have formed an eight-nation alliance against the Qing court and us, with the purpose of dividing up the Qing Dynasty and our territory." Li Kun said with a solemn face.

If I don't ask for your trouble, you should burn high incense, and you dare to take the initiative to come to me Lin Daxin's trouble, it seems that you have really been taught a lesson, and you still make an eight-nation alliance, why don't you call it the eight-nation alliance!

Lin Daxin snorted coldly, "I didn't expect these countries to dare to stretch out their claws, it seems that the previous lessons are not enough, is there a specific battle plan for these 8 countries?" ”

Don't look at the Eight-Nation Alliance, but Lin Daxin doesn't feel any fear now, at present, the Dingbei Army under his command has three major guards, ten field armies, 12 garrisons, 3 ** cavalry divisions, a full 2.4 million regular troops, and 1 garrison army in Lanfang Province is under construction, and there are nearly 10 million militia reserves.

In addition, the 6 main fleets and more than a dozen garrison fleets of the Northeast Navy, plus Lin Daxin's hidden 6 dragon-class dreadnought battleships and 7 super dreadnought battleships, these are all the confidence of Lin Daxin to face the Eight-Nation Alliance.

What makes Lin Daxin even more confident is that the Northeast Air Force has finally been truly formed, that is, the Shenyang Arsenal has been developed for several years. Finally, a fighter with good performance and a bomber with good performance were developed, and mass production has begun. The equipment was given to the Northeast Air Force.

Both aircraft are biplane propellers, and the fuselage is mostly made of steel. Only the wings were wooden, the fighter was named the Yellow Sparrow fighter, the bomber was named the Blue Eagle bomber, and after the two aircraft were developed, they were more advanced than those in the design, and the single engine of the original design was changed to a twin engine.

The Yellow Sparrow fighter uses a two-wing fighter with a wingspan of 11 meters and a length of 8.5 meters. The height of the aircraft is 3.5 meters, 2 450 horsepower engines, the maximum flight speed is 300 kilometers per hour, the ascent limit is 7000 meters, the maximum range is 1400 kilometers, and the armament is 2 Type 96 heavy machine guns with a caliber of 7.9 mm, which can suspend 1 bomb of 100 kg.

The Blue Eagle bomber also uses biplanes, with a wingspan of 18 meters and a length of 14 meters. The height of the aircraft is 4.5 meters, 2 1100 horsepower engines, the maximum flight speed is 240 kilometers per hour, and the ascent limit is 8000 meters. With a maximum range of 2400 km, the armament is 5 Type 7.9 heavy machine guns with a caliber of 96 mm, which can carry up to 3 800-kilogram bombs. Or 8 bombs of 300 kg.

At present, the Northeast Air Force has been equipped with 300 Yellow Bird fighters and 180 Blue Eagle bombers. In addition, the Northeast Air Force is also equipped with nearly 60 airships, including 8 airships purchased by Lin Daxin from future time and space. The entire Northeast Air Force is directly in charge of Lin Daxin, and the fighters and bombers are listed as first-class secrets.

Li Kun said: "According to intelligence, although this eight-nation alliance is also aimed at us, their initial plan is to support the Xingzhong Association to divide up the southern provinces of the Qing Dynasty, and it should be the eight-nation alliance to deal with us After dividing the southern provinces, this eight-nation alliance has not been officially made public." ”

Lin Daxin asked again: "How is the situation in Fujian Province?" ”

Li Kun replied: "At present, the Japanese Army is basically fighting against the imperial army in Fujian Province, and the number of Japanese Army standing divisions in Fujian Province has reached five, and last week two more divisions of the Japanese Army landed in Fuzhou on transport ships. The 5 towns sent by the imperial court have also reached Fujian Province and merged with the 4 towns led by Yi Ketanga. The overall war in Fujian Province is still in a stalemate, the new army led by Iketanga in 9 towns and the 4 divisions of the Japanese Army are still in a stalemate in Nanping City, while the other 1 division of the Japanese Army is divided into two routes, respectively in Changtai City and Ningde City in Fujian Province, blocking the other 2 Qing troops outside the city, but the stalemate in the war in Fujian Province may be broken with the establishment of the Eight-Nation Alliance, and the 8 countries will invest more forces in Fujian Province. ”

Lin Daxin thought about it for a while and said: "It seems that we have to communicate with the imperial court, by the way, did Li Zhongtang and my cousin leave the UK?" ”

Li Kun nodded and said: "After participating in the coronation ceremony of ** Dehua VII, because Li Zhongtang was worried about the war in Fujian Province, the Qing Dynasty and our delegation did not even participate in the naval parade held by the British for ** Dehua VII, and they had already set off to return home." ”

Lin Daxin nodded and said: "It's okay, there is no matter of Fujian Province, Zhongtang has to go to France, Germany, and the United States for a walk, if Zhongtang's body is good, it will not be beautiful." Your military intelligence bureau will keep an eye on this eight-nation alliance for me next, and report to me immediately if there is any situation. ”

Li Kun nodded and said, "Yes, principal!" ”

After Li Kun left, Lin Daxin brought Wu Peifu, chief of the general staff of the Dingbei Army, and Jiang Hui, chief of the general staff of the Northeast Navy, over.

The General Staff of the Northeast Navy was established by Lin Daxin last year, and the first chief of the General Staff was Jiang Hui, the former commander of the Third Fleet.

After Lin Daxin told Wu Peifu and Jiang Hui about the Eight-Nation Alliance, Lin Daxin said: "The Dingbei Army and the Northeast Navy will immediately enter a state of first-class combat readiness and be ready to go to war with the Eight-Nation Alliance at any time. ”

After Wu Peifu and Jiang Hui nodded and took the order, Jiang Hui said: "Dashuai, with a humble position, it is better to take advantage of the fact that the strength of the Eight-Nation Alliance has not yet come, and we will first solve the Japan in the Eight-Nation Alliance, especially the Japanese Navy, if we can inflict heavy damage on the Japanese Navy, the other 7 countries will not be able to get rid of the idea." ”

Wu Peifu continued: "We can also take the initiative to attack on the border with Russia, our Dingbei Army has stationed six field armies on the border line of Baikal Province, Saisi Province, Outer Mongolia Province and Xinjiang Province, which is enough to crush more than 1 million troops on the Russian border. ”

Lin Daxin thinks that Wu Peifu and Jiang Hui's construction is good, but Lin Daxin decided to play a big game this time, the tiger is not powerful, you still think it is a sick cat!

This time, Lin Daxin asked these so-called powerhouses to take a look, who is the overlord in this world! It's not a country like Britain, France, Germany, I, Lin Daxin, am the well-deserved overlord in this world! Don't always have nothing to do in the future, owe pump!

Lin Daxin said: "Don't worry, let's have a good time with these powers this time, grandma, this time I want these powers to taste the feeling of losing their wife and losing their soldiers." ”

Since Lin Daxin said so, Wu Peifu and Jiang Hui looked at each other and didn't say anything more, and then the two of them left Lin Daxin's office, preparing to follow Lin Daxin's order to let the entire Dingbei Army and the Northeast Navy enter a state of first-class combat readiness.

After Wu Peifu and Jiang Hui left, Lin Daxin sat in his office and thought about it for a while, and ordered the adjutant outside the door to send a telegram to Jerson in the United States.

Jerson is still helping Lin Daxin deal with most of the overseas business over the years, especially after the East Texas oil field belonging to Lin Daxin in the United States was exploited, Jerson moved his office directly to the United States, and now Lin Daxin's overseas industry, the United States is the most, in the United States Lin Daxin has many large oil fields, large gold mines, large silver mines, large copper mines and large iron mines, and also has a number of factories and farms, and even banks and railways, Lin Daxin also has a lot, this time the United States also participated in the eight-nation alliance, makes Lin Daxin a little worried about the American industry, that is, it is an astronomical amount, that is, Lin Daxin has so much money now that he can't even count himself, and he doesn't want the American industry to have a big loss.

After 2 days, Jaelsen and US President Theodore? Roosevelt's telegram arrived and was sent to Lin Daxin's office by the adjutant.

Lin Daxin first picked up Jerson's telegram, on which Jerson said that after receiving a message from the boss about the United States joining the eight-nation alliance against the boss, Jerson immediately used his connections to prepare for the United States to withdraw from the eight-nation alliance. Roosevelt thought that if he withdrew from the Eight-Nation Alliance now, he would lose his trust with Britain, France, Germany and other countries. Roosevelt promised that the United States would send only a small symbolic army to the Qing Dynasty, and that there would be no adverse actions against the boss's American industry.

However, Jerson is a little pessimistic that if the boss can't withstand the G-8 Alliance, then in the end the Americans will not be polite, and Lin Daxin's industry in the United States will even be coveted by God.

Lin Daxin picked up US President Theodore again? Roosevelt's telegram, which meant much the same as Jerson, Theodore? Roosevelt first thanked Lin Daxin for his contribution to the US economy in the telegram, although the United States had no choice but to join the Eight-Nation Alliance, after all, the United States needs to look at the faces of European countries, but the United States will not take any measures against Lin Daxin's industry in the United States, the United States will only send a small number of troops to the Qing Dynasty, hoping that Lin Daxin can understand the plight of the United States.

After reading the telegram, Lin Daxin couldn't help but sneer, he saw what the United States was planning, if Lin Daxin can withstand the attack of the Eight-Nation Alliance, then the United States and Lin Daxin are still hello, hello, hello, everyone, if Lin Daxin is defeated in the end, the United States will definitely not be polite, and will definitely swallow Lin Daxin's industry in the United States.
