At this time, wireless telegraphy had been invented, and Ren Chao received a telegram from the Third Detachment of the North Sea Fleet for the first time.

"Good! Well done! Ren Chao couldn't help but say excitedly, "What is the loss of our army?" ”

"In this battle, one of our destroyers, the Dengzhou, was sunk, and two destroyers and two cruisers were damaged, and a total of 234 Imperial Navy officers and men were killed!" Navy Minister Yu Kun said respectfully.

"Yes! Generously sympathize with the fallen soldiers and reward the meritorious soldiers in this naval battle. Ren Chao nodded and said.

"Obey the order!" Yu Kun bowed down and said, "In addition, in this naval battle, our submarine detachment was very prominent, sinking four Japanese warships one after another. His Majesty really had a foresight, and in the future naval battle, the power of this submarine really could not be ignored. ”

"That's natural!" Ren Chao said with a smile, "But these are not enough, send instructions to relevant departments, step up research on submarines, and formally establish a submarine academy in the Imperial Naval University to train talents in submarines." In addition, we have submarines, and other countries, such as Britain, France, Germany, the United States, Russia, and other countries, also have submarines, and these countries may become enemies of our Chinese empire in the future. Therefore, we must not only continue to study more advanced submarines, but also step up research on antisubmarine weapons and means of restraining submarines. ”

"Obey the order!" Yu Kun hurriedly responded.

"I once said that this Japan is nothing more than the slaves of the Mishima Empire, and they are not worthy of being the enemies of my Chinese Empire. Therefore, victory is a matter of course in this war against Japan, and if it is defeated, it will be a shame. Therefore, inform the participating troops in advance, and do not be proud of some small victory, because the future enemies of the empire will be much stronger than the Japanese. This time it's just a military exercise, a drill! All units should fully sum up their own deficiencies and shortcomings in the course of actual combat and then correct them. in order to increase their own combat effectiveness. As much as possible, Kuài has cultivated an invincible and invincible army for the empire. Ren Chao said with a stern face.

"Ministers obey the Emperor's Hadith!" A group of cabinet ministers responded in unison.

Ren Chao nodded with satisfaction, and then asked, "By the way, what is the attitude of the Japanese government now, it stands to reason that at this time, the Japanese government should declare war on our Huaxia Empire!" ”

"At present, the Japanese government has not officially declared war on our Chinese Empire, and the ministers expect that the Japanese government should still be hesitating, and they will not dare to declare war on our Chinese Empire at all." Foreign Minister Liang Yan replied respectfully.

"Humph! Forgive them for not having the guts! Ren Chao couldn't help but snort coldly and said. How prepared is the North Korean side? ”

"Your Majesty, the Korean General Jeon Hyun Joon sent a telegram saying that the 100,000 Korean Army and 20,000 Marines are ready to launch a landing operation against Japan at any time." Minister of War Yang Jichang hurriedly replied.

"Excellent! Tell sù Quan Qi Zhun that this Japanese Japanese invaded Japan as early as the Tang Dynasty, and invaded Korea again during the Wanli period of the Ming Dynasty, and he experienced it personally in the First Sino-Japanese War of the former Dynasty. Japan has invaded Korea more than once for thousands of years, and now it is time for them to take revenge. Now he can avenge the old and new ones together! My Huaxia Empire will serve as their powerful backing, let him let go of his hands and feet and go for revenge! Ren Chao said righteously.

"Commandment." Yang Jichang hurriedly said.

"All the participating units of our army are ready, right?" Ren Chao nodded, and then asked.

"Qi Xiang Xià, the 5th Division of our Imperial Army. The 6th Division, the 8th Division, the 10th Division, are ready. You can go to Japan at any time to participate in the war. Yang Jichang replied.

"Your Majesty's Imperial Navy, the North Sea Fleet, and the 40,000 Marine Corps are all ready to launch a landing operation against Japan at any time." Admiral Minister Yu Kun then said.

"Hmm!" Ren Chao nodded with satisfaction and said. "Shouldn't I bow down at this time! Do you think that this expedition to Japan, who should be the best commander? ”

"His Majesty, the minister thought that the lieutenant general of the Imperial Army, and Wang Jing, the current commander-in-chief of the East China Military Region, could take on this important task. General Wang Jing experienced almost all the battles of the First Sino-Japanese War, large and small, and knew the Japanese army's combat style best. Moreover, General Wang Jing served as the commander-in-chief of the Ryukyu garrison for a long time, and he was also well aware of the situation in Japan. Therefore, Weichen thought that General Wang Jing should be the best candidate for this Eastern Expedition to Japan. Yang Jichang hurriedly said.

"Wang Jing! Kindness! I also want Wang Jing to be the commander of the expeditionary force! Ren Chao smiled and nodded and said, "Since this is the case, Jin Feng Wang Jing will be the general of the Imperial Army and the general of Pingwei." I was ordered to command the three armies of the navy and the army to invade Japan, and set foot on the three islands of Dongying for me! ”

"Commandment!" The ministers responded in unison.

"It can be said that this is the first foreign war since the establishment of the Chinese Empire, and we not only want to win, but also win beautifully." Ren Chao stood up when he said this, and several cabinet ministers stood up when they saw Ren Chao stand up, walked over, and stood up one after another.

Ren Chao patted the cabinet minister Tang Xinghan on the shoulder and asked him to sit down, then waved his hand and motioned for everyone to sit down, and several cabinet ministers could only sit down obediently.

"As you all know, when the empire was first established, the era name was set. I have repeatedly insisted that I want to add a martial character to this era name, which is why I have the era name of Shengwu, do you remember why at this time? Ren Chao asked with a smile.

"The minister remembers that His Majesty said that His Majesty was born in the army and established the country by force." Tang Xinghan replied honestly.

"Not bad!" Ren Chao smiled and nodded, and then walked to Yang Jichang, Minister of War.

Yang Jichang continued, "His Majesty once said that the empire established the country by force, and in the future, it will also rely on force to rise, rebuild the heavenly kingdom, and reproduce the prosperous China of all nations. ”

"Bismarck, Germany's iron-blooded chancellor, once said, 'The contemporary problem of gravity cannot be solved by speeches and majority resolutions, but by iron and blood.'" I think this sentence is very reasonable, and if our Chinese Empire wants to rise, it can only be solved with iron and blood. Only by using our bayonets to drain the last drop of blood of all the enemies who hindered the rise of China, and make them completely submit to our feet, can we reproduce the prosperity of China! Ren Chao said impassionedly and loudly.

"The ministers must do their best to contribute to the rise of the empire and the revival of China, and they will die after death!" Several cabinet ministers hurriedly got up and said respectfully. (To be continued......)
