719 Sent troops to the Northeast
Wilbur 61 Wright was not surprised, because the previous Chiyo Kazuo and many military attachΓ©s had already assured him of the contribution, and he nodded and thanked politely.
Heihachiro Togo pointed at Yuki Uizawa at this time and said to Emperor Meiji: "Your Majesty, Yuki Uizawa has experience in the use of aerial weapons, and I think he should be made the commander of the aircraft unit." β
Emperor Meiji casually said "yes", and Heihachiro Togo took Yuki Hayazawa and Wilbur 61 Wright to say goodbye, and Japan then began to secretly develop aircraft, and the matching aircraft force was also actively being prepared.
The time has come to the end of December, and the world situation at this time is like this, Britain and Germany, the joint fleet of the two countries has entered India, because there are Lin Fei's submarines in Burma, they dare not come over for a while, Britain and Germany are looking for a solution to the submarine, and only when they find a way, they dare to attack China.
Lin Fei's submarines continued to wreak havoc in Burmese ports, and although the British sent an escort fleet and used depth charges, they still could not change the fate of frequent merchant ships being sunk by Lin Fei's submarines, and Lin Fei's submarines were like a fish in the throat to the British in Burma.
Lin Fei's naval decisive battle with Britain and Germany will break out one day.
In the direction of Japan, Lin Fei carried out a continuous bombing of Japan, bombing all with incendiary bombs, each bombing will cause a fire, starting from the burning of Tokyo on November 25, in a month, eight cities have been bombed, more than 100,000 houses have been burned, and more than 200,000 people have died.
During the bombing process, Lin Fei once wanted to use biological weapons, but there was no progress in the development of biological weapons, and since the end of the First World War in the South Seas, the development of biological weapons has been more than three years, and there is still no hope of success.
In fact, this is not surprising, the development of biological weapons is very difficult for Lin Fei, Lin Fei does not have relevant talents in microbiology, and microbiology in the world is not developed in this era, so Lin Fei cannot rely on the United States to train talents.
Japan did not massacre the people in the northeast of the Qing country as revenge, the reason is very simple, Japan is already the occupier of the northeast of the Qing country at this time, and they need someone to pay the grain and taxes, so they will not kill the people who send them money and food, Lin Fei does not have this concern, anyway, the Japanese do not pay taxes to Lin Fei.
On December 25, Lin Fei sent a diplomatic note to Japan through the United States, informing Japan that if Japan surrendered, Lin Fei could stop bombing the Japanese mainland, but Emperor Meiji strongly rejected Lin Fei's request, and Emperor Meiji made it clear that even if the Japanese Empire died until there was only one person left, he would fight with Lin Fei to the end.
After Emperor Meiji refused Lin Fei's persuasion, he immediately instructed Nogi Noshinori to speed up the attack on Lin Fei.
In the direction of Russia and the Mongol Empire, since the Russian Cossack cavalry was bloodied by Lin Fei's artillery chariot, Russia has not sent troops to attack China, and Russia's energy has turned to urging Britain and Japan to send troops.
After Lin Fei captured Prince Erjidan, he asked Yu Ningshuang to take Prince Erjidan to attack Mongolia.
Prince Erjidan began to realize that if he continued to fight with the Russians, Lin Fei would take advantage of the fishermen, so he supported his troops and respected himself, guarded his own territory and no longer attacked, not only did not attack, but also reached out to Lin Fei to ask for money, food, and weapons, and even asked Lin Fei to give him a Chinese beauty.
The climate of the Mongolian Plateau is very cold, as soon as November arrives, the heavy snow comes, and the logistics supply line of the invaded artillery chariots is directly blocked, and the plundered artillery chariots are too dependent on supplies, no diesel, no shells, no bullets, and the plundered artillery chariots are a useless big iron shell.
The severe cold also has a great impact on the artillery chariot troops of the invasion, most of the soldiers of the artillery chariot troops of the invasion are Nanyang Chinese, the climate of Nanyang is warm, most of the soldiers are not adapted to the cold climate, many people have frostbite, ordinary soldiers are so, the commander Yu Ningshuang is even more so, Yu Ningshuang has lived for more than 20 years, and has never seen snow once, so I can see enough in Mongolia.
Growing up in Taiwan, Yu Ningshuang is very unsuitable for the arid and cold climate of Mongolia, and his whole face is full of dead skin and a layer of white flowers because of dryness, so that Jade Frost dare not see people.
Seeing this, Lin Fei could only order Yu Ningshuang to withdraw the troops, although the plan to expedition to Mongolia did not work, but after all, he subdued several princes of Inner Mongolia.
Yu Ningshuang then returned to Beijing with his subordinates, and although Beijing was not warm, at least it was much better than Mongolia.
In the direction of the Qing Dynasty, Sichuan, Shaanxi, and Shanxi were full of mountains, and it was very difficult to fight, especially under the condition that the greatest advantage of the Huaxia Army was the artillery and chariots of the invasion.
Lin Fei then decided to slow down the pace of attacking the Qing State, let the Qing State survive in the mountains for a while, and consolidate the Qing State territory by himself.
As for how to govern the territory of the Qing State, Lin Fei had already made preparations, first carrying out land reform, and then building roads and railways, and under the premise that Huaxia controlled the Qing finance, these things went quite smoothly.
As for the opening of factories in the Qing state, it has not yet been carried out, because the construction of roads and railways has not kept up, and neither equipment nor resources can be transported.
Looking at the world situation, attacking the northeast of the Qing Kingdom seemed to be the most important thing for Lin Fei to do, but Lin Fei did not do it, because the northeast of the Qing Kingdom had entered the cold winter at this time, and the weather was getting colder and colder, and the Huaxia army must be very uncomfortable, so Lin Fei decided to stick to the northeast.
What Lin Fei didn't expect was that one person's suggestion changed his mind.
This person is Li Yuanhong.
On December 26, Li Yuanhong took the initiative to meet Lin Fei.
Lin Fei didn't feel strange when he heard that Li Yuanhong took the initiative to see him, Li Yuanhong admired Lin Fei very much, and Li Yuanhong even wrote Lin Fei's words in a small book, compiled a book of "Lin Fei's Quotations", took it with him, and read it from time to time.
Lin Fei knows Li Yuanhong's careful thoughts, Li Yuanhong was also a generation of heroes in Lin Fei's era, and he would never respect a person so much, Li Yuanhong has only one purpose for supporting Lin Fei like this, to lower Lin Fei's vigilance and eliminate Lin Fei's vigilance, after all, Li Yuanhong lives under Lin Fei's feet, and Lin Fei trampled him to death when he was in a bad mood.
Although Lin Fei knew Li Yuanhong's thoughts, he couldn't give him a cold face, so he warmly received him.
When Li Yuanhong saw Lin Fei, he first greeted him politely, and then cut to the chase, "Your Majesty, I think you should send troops to the northeast of the Qing country now." β
Lin Fei frowned, secretly thinking that you Li Yuanhong is here to trap me, this is now January, the northeast of the Qing country can freeze people to death in January, you let me attack the northeast of the Qing country now, what kind of heart is it!
Li Yuanhong is a veteran in the political field, and when he saw Lin Fei's brows tightened, he knew Lin Fei's displeasure, and hurriedly explained: "Your Majesty, you are attacking the northeast of the Qing Kingdom at this time, and you are really taking advantage of the right time, place, and people. β
Lin Fei smiled helplessly, "Don't talk about the location and people, tell me about the time of day, everyone knows that the weather in the Northeast is cold, and my troops are not adapted to the cold, how can you say that I take advantage of the time?" β
"Your Majesty, the weather in the northeast of the Qing country is cold, the people can't grow food, everyone is idle at home, these people have nothing to do, if Your Majesty marches into the northeast and skillfully uses and guides these people, our army and civilian workers and soldiers don't have to worry, and the people of the Northeast have been bullied by Japan for a long time, and they have long longed for Your Majesty to command the Wang Division and expel the Japanese invaders."
Lin Fei's heart was moved by Li Yuanhong's words, Li Yuanhong was right, the Northeast during the winter leisure period, there are indeed a lot of human resources, I entered the Northeast, I can indeed use these resources, but the Northeast at this time is cold......
Li Yuanhong seemed to see Lin Fei's concerns, and said: "Your Majesty, it's true that our army is not good at fighting in the cold winter, but every year there is a cold winter, and the territory of our Huaxia will also expand to the extremely cold land, can it be said that the enemy army will not fight us because we are not good at fighting in the cold winter?" β
It was really a word that woke up the person in the dream, and Lin Fei realized that if he didn't temper his combat ability in the cold winter now, how would he recover the Outer Northeast that had been annexed by Russia in the future, how would he lay down the huge treasure of Siberia, and how would he defend it after it was defeated?
Lin Fei decided to send troops to the northeast to drive the Japanese and Russians out of the land of China!
As soon as Lin Fei told Li Yuanhong his thoughts, Li Yuanhong immediately said: "Your Majesty, the villain is willing to serve as the commander of your army to attack the northeast of the Qing Kingdom!" β
Lin Fei's heart moved, ha, what a Li Yuanhong, it turns out that this is the real purpose of your instigation for me to send troops to the Northeast, you Li Yuanhong is a memorial arch erected by me, how can I give you the military power!
Although Lin Fei thought so, but he didn't say so, Lin Fei smiled and said: "Mr. Yuanhong should stay in Huaxia, the front line is very dangerous, if you have three long and two short, I can't bear it." β
Li Yuanhong had to say that Lin Fei had already called Xiyun to see off the guests.
Lin Fei immediately started the plan to send troops to the Northeast, Lin Fei has always advocated the strategy of the army and the navy first, so Lin Fei's first shot to attack the Northeast will be hit at the Lushun Fortress.
At this time, the Arthur Fortress, although occupied by the Japanese, but there were Russian warships stationed, before the Russo-Japanese War, Russia defeated the Japanese fleet, besieged the Arthur Fortress, but has not been overcome, and later Japan and Russia joined forces, the Russian fleet was stationed here.
