Just when Yang Feng was waiting for the Japanese to come to the door with anticipation in the Japanese Imperial Palace, and then put on the face of a conqueror to humiliate, oppress, and bully them, completely satisfying the bad taste of his dark psychology, Ding Ruchang's Beiyang Naval Division ran into trouble.

This trouble did not come from the Japanese, although the remaining four capital ships of the Combined Fleet had been harassing them incessantly since they left Weihaiwei, but this was only a minor problem, Ito Hyungyou did not dare to fight the Beiyang Naval Division in any case, and their real threat came from the British Far East Fleet, a fleet of more than 20 warships, as arrogantly as the same across the course in front of Ding Ruchang.

"What do the British say?" He asked Hannagan, who had just gone to negotiate.

"They say that the British Far East Fleet is holding military exercises in the Korean Strait, and for security purposes, the navies of other countries are prohibited from entering the strait." Hannagan said angrily that the intention of the British was very clear, that is, to let the Japanese 1st and 5th divisions withdraw to the mainland, and then join the battle against the German army.

Ding Ruchang was also angry, this Korean Strait is not for you British, you say that it is forbidden to enter, and it is forbidden to enter? But then again, people really have this qualification, not to say how powerful the Far East Fleet is, but that the huge Royal Navy behind them is strong enough, hundreds of ironclad ships, and it is enough to push the entire world, this is the only sea overlord, the real ruler of the ocean.

"What to do? Liu Buyun leaned over and said.

"What else can I do? Negotiating, protesting, etc., sent a telegram to Yang Feng, telling him that the British had intercepted us, telling them to be careful, that Japanese reinforcements had boarded the ship. Ding Ruchang said with a gloomy face, in fact, the Beiyang Navy Division has done its best to achieve this step. Of course, it was impossible for him to have a conflict with the British in order to help Yang Feng.

Yang Feng was not too surprised when he received this telegram, he had already guessed this outcome from the landing of the British army in Nagasaki, but this was obviously a good opportunity to put a wedge in the Anglo-German rift.

"It's too much, I really don't understand what the British want to do? Do they want to see us die in Tokyo?" The guy was so indignant that he slapped the telegram in front of Waldzer.

Waldzer sneered after reading it.

"Yang, it's not you, it's us, it's the German Expeditionary Force, it seems that I need to report to His Majesty the Emperor." He said with a gloomy face.

Yang Feng is naturally very welcome to this, and it can be imagined how William, who has always been sensitive, will be furious after learning the news. As for the problem of Japanese reinforcements, he really didn't care much about this, even if all three divisions arrived, there were only about 50,000 people, and it would be ridiculous to want to storm the defense line of the trench machine guns, but they could have reinforcements themselves.

"Count, we need reinforcements." This thing said seriously.

"Yang, even if there are more troops in the country, it will be difficult to arrive in a short time, and the British will definitely obstruct it, I think it will take at least half a year. This loses its meaning. Waldzer shook his head and said.

"No, no, not from Germany, but from China. First of all, our mutual friend, Lord Li Hongzhang, has recruited 20,000 recruits, including Yuan Shikai's new army, which I provided weapons for, and we can find Lord Li. Then bring this army in. There were also the defenders of Asan, after the withdrawal of the 1st and 5th Divisions. It doesn't make sense for them to continue to maintain a size of nearly 20,000 men, at least we can bring in another 5,000 men, knowing that they have plenty of experience in positional defense. In this way, we can make up close to 40,000 elites, and it is easier to deal with the supply of arms, the Hanyang Arsenal can supply some of them, the Taiwan Arsenal has also begun to put into production, and with the high-speed cargo ships of Yang's shipping from Europe, we can completely maintain the operation of these 40,000 people.

And the total strength of the Japanese army is a little more than 50,000, even if they get together some new soldiers, it will not exceed 100,000, the country is just that much, even in the era of cold weapons, it is difficult for them to make up so many troops. What's more, there is a lack of weapons, first of all, their main arsenals in Osaka and Tokyo have been destroyed by us, and even if there is a certain amount of production capacity in other places, everything is useless without steel. I also have two high-speed destroyers coming from Sweden, and with the two ships that have been transferred back from the Beiyang Naval Division, eight destroyers are enough to block the sea routes and cut off Japan's material imports. Of course, the premise of this is that the British will not provide arms to Japan, which requires the emperor's majesty. Yang Feng said that he now hopes to play in Japan for a year and a half, anyway, it is not somewhere else.

"There is no problem with this, if the British dare to help the Japanese in such a blatant way, it means a provocation against the German Empire." Waldzer said that he is still very confident in this, the European powers have their own set of rules of the game, and the British are now rubbing the edges, and if they go too far, it will be a break of the rules.

Since this is the case, Yang Feng has nothing to say, and immediately sent a telegram to Li Hongzhang, demanding that Yuan Shikai's 5,000 new troops be transferred, and another 5,000 men from Asan should be transferred to Japan to participate in the war, on the condition that he be given two components.

In order to let him know more clearly what these two components of Lu Dao mean, this goods deliberately asked Song Qing to return with the fleet of troops, I believe that with his example, even if Li Er's devil is not tempted, his subordinates will be tempted, you must know that this guy Lu Dao came to Japan, and his net worth increased several times.

As for the next step, the main target should be on the Yokosuka fortress, Tirpitz's attack on the Kannonzaki batteries did not go well, and even a Russian cruiser was heavily damaged, but fortunately it did not sink, so just drive back to Dagou Harbor, where the dockyard will soon be repaired.

The main reason for this situation is that when the fleet shelled the three groups of batteries at the entrance to Tokyo Bay, no matter what position it was, it had to withstand crossfire from both sides, which was a dead end without a knot.

"Unless our army units intensify their offensive and first deal with the two batteries Kannonzaki and Chiyozaki from land, it will take at least a week, and even more losses, before the fleet can open the gates of Tokyo Bay." Tirpitz said that today was a celebration banquet in the Imperial Palace of Japan, so he and several admirals also attended.

A group of invaders ruined this beautiful garden-style building into a mess, and even many vulgar soldiers defecated everywhere, and some of them used knives to carve some blasphemous words and graphics in order to leave a beautiful memory, and the east and west and the turtle fully showed their ignorance and did not know how to respect the beauty of the carved beams and paintings designed by famous artists.

There are even some more beautiful sculptures, murals have been ripped off and transported away by those barbaric invaders, including some more precious wood have been dismantled and packed into ships, plus there is more alcohol tonight, nauseous vomit can be seen everywhere, ghosts cry wolf howls one after another, and even more with a Japanese woman who has been caught from nowhere to vent shouyu, the entire Japanese palace is like a noble woman who has been stripped naked and thrown in a dung pit to endure whipping.

In this evil atmosphere, a gang of robber leaders, served by dozens of Japanese maidens contributed by their soldiers, while eating the stolen delicacies, while studying how to continue to plague the country, as for the stolen wine, there is no need to drink it, but Waldze's war horse likes to drink it.

"In that case, the casualties will increase dramatically." Moltke Jr. said that he had not made much progress in the past two days, and the Japanese had stubbornly resisted him with the preset fortifications in the area of Hayama, of course, this was not the most important thing, the most important thing was that after rushing out of the mountainous area, there was a large coastal plain, and it was at least eight kilometers to the Kannonzaki Battery, and on this empty open land, those large-caliber fortress guns that defended the rear road would easily slaughter all the infantry.

"Arrest their relatives, force them to surrender, and if they don't surrender, they will be shot en masse in front of them." Yang Feng said viciously, Japan's special conscription method made the vast majority of the defenders of Yokosuka Fortress from Tokyo, which gave Yang Feng an opportunity......

"Yang, isn't that okay?" Waldzer was taken aback by him, this thing is really ruthless.

"Then it depends on who you are ruthless to, if you are ruthless to your own soldiers, then you might as well let them brave the Japanese shells to attack, you should know very well the power of those large-caliber fortress guns, if you are ruthless to the Japanese, then you might as well do it, if the Japanese defenders are really loyal to the country, to the point where they would rather watch their relatives die than surrender, then there is nothing I can do." Yang Feng spread his hands and said.

Waldzer reflected on the power of the two 280 mortars, and the guy gritted his teeth and said, "That's it."

In fact, the coalition forces are already very civilized, after all, the headquarters issued an order to wash the city, not an order to slaughter the city, so except for those Japanese who resisted bravely, there were not many deaths among the civilians in the city, at most, they killed experts and professors according to Yang Feng's requirements, and of course it was essential to burn people's houses, rob people's things, and play with people's little girls, but Tusha still didn't do much of this kind of thing, so the Japanese in the city were still well preserved.

But it's more troublesome to find people, but fortunately, just as traitors are never lacking, Japanese traitors are also not lacking, and under the confusion of bayonets, banknotes, or women, in short, all kinds of things, a large number of Japanese friends were soon organized, and then began to search the city for the families of the defenders of the Yokosuka fortress, and by the afternoon, hundreds of people had been put together, and then they were escorted to the front.
