Chapter 736: The Schadenfreude Americans
Although Japan suffered a crushing defeat in Yokohama, most of the warships of the original combined fleet of the Japanese Navy were lost in Yokohama, and all the warships of the Pacific Fleet of the US Navy seized by the Japanese did not escape the poisonous hands of the Royal Navy of the Chinese Empire in Yokohama, so that Japan worked hard to get a navy of considerable size, which no longer poses any threat to the Royal Navy of the Chinese Empire, and also made the remaining three large islands in Japan face the danger of landing by the Chinese Imperial Army. Neither Emperor Meiji nor some of the Japanese ministers below thought about ending the war now, and no one ever said anything about ending the war.
Japan's hatred for the Chinese Empire is really higher than the sky, deeper than the sea, and the hope of Japan's rise several times has been buried in the hands of Lin Daxin, the founder of the Chinese Empire, and now the Chinese Empire still occupies a lot of territory in Japan.
And if you want to end the war, it is not so easy, the Japanese are well aware of the temperament of Lin Daxin, the ruler of the Chinese Empire, if Japan wants to withdraw from this war now, the price it will have to pay is definitely something that Japan cannot afford, Lin Daxin's greed, the Japanese know it very well.
Fortunately, the Japanese Army has 96 standing heavy divisions, 40 standing light divisions and 100 garrison brigades, with a total strength of more than 5 million, and Japan has recently organized a Japanese Self-Defense Force with almost 10 million people.
The Japanese top is convinced. With such a large number of troops, at least Japan's current three large islands can be maintained. Blocking the landing of the Chinese Imperial Army on the Japanese mainland.
In the Qianqing Palace in the Forbidden City in Beijing, Lin Daxin received a telegram from Chen Ming, commander of the Royal Navy's Fourth Fleet. I couldn't help but smile and said to Wang Yan, Prime Minister of the Cabinet, Wu Peifu, Minister of National Defense, Jiang Hui, Vice Minister of the Ministry of National Defense in charge of the Navy, Li Kun, Director of the Military Intelligence Bureau, and Shen Peng, Director of the Secret Bureau, who were in the Qianqing Palace at this time: "This time the Meiji Emperor should cry his nose, the Japanese conspired to seize hundreds of warships of the Pacific Fleet of the US Navy, and as a result, in just a few days, these warships of the Pacific Fleet of the US Navy were completely annihilated by us, and the Japanese also took most of the warships of their combined fleet, and now the remnants of the Japanese Navy, It is no longer possible to pose much of a threat to our Royal Navy. ”
Wang Yan said with a smile on his face: "This time, several of our fleets completely annihilated all the Japanese and American warships in the port of Yokohama, Japan, at a very small cost, and only captured warships. There are 2 New York-class super dreadnought battleships, 3 Hanoi-class dreadnought battleships and 4 Delaware-class dreadnought battleships, in addition to 1 Virginia-class all-steel battleship, 1 Connecticut-class all-steel battleship, 6 large fast armored cruisers, 11 fast protection cruisers, 17 destroyers and 21 torpedo boats, so many warships, including 2 super dreadnought battleships with super combat effectiveness, are enough for our Royal Navy to form a main fleet, Japan is really generous this time. ”
Wu Peifu said with a smile: "The Japanese are called stealing chickens and rice, and the Japanese have tried their best to give the US Navy Pacific Fleet a nest, but now the warships of the US Navy's Pacific Fleet have not been sunk by our Royal Navy." It's become a trophy of our Royal Navy, and the old boy of Emperor Meiji was angry to death this time. ”
Shen Peng, the director of the Secret Bureau, said: "It's better to make the old boy of Emperor Meiji angry to death, it will save our Chinese Empire a lot of trouble." ”
Lin Daxin said with a smile: "Japan's Meiji Emperor has suffered so many blows, I believe his heart is big enough." It's not a life of anger, but crying nose can't be avoided, hehe. ”
Several important ministers of the Chinese Empire in the Qianqing Palace. They all laughed, and now Lin Daxin and these people. The mood is very good, and the losses of the carrier-based aircraft on several fleets of the Royal Navy are a little greater, except for the 4 mythical aircraft carriers. The warships suffered modest losses in the Battle of Yokohama, but the results were very brilliant.
In addition, after completely defeating the Japanese Navy this time, the Chinese Empire had defeated all the enemies at sea in this war, and it was no longer possible to have the enemy's fleet, and dared to take the initiative to find trouble with the Royal Navy of the Chinese Empire, and the balance of victory in this war had been completely tilted in favor of the Chinese Empire.
Vice Minister of Defense Jiang Hui then asked Lin Daxin: "Your Majesty, Chen Ming sent a telegram asking if he would take this opportunity to continue attacking other ports in Japan's Tokyo Bay and sprinkle another handful of salt on the wounds of the Japanese?" ”
Lin Daxin touched his chin, turned his head to Wu Peifu and asked, "Ziyu, what advice do you have?" ”
Wu Peifu thought for a moment and said: "Your Majesty, in order to resist the attack of our Imperial Chinese Navy on its homeland over the years, the Japanese have built a large number of batteries in almost all ports, equipped with numerous coastal defense guns and anti-aircraft weapons, and the Japanese have built 18 batteries in the port of Yokohama, including 2 large batteries, which are protected by very thick reinforced concrete, and are also equipped with a number of large-caliber coastal defense guns. Luck is a big factor, and if a few fleets continue to attack other ports in Tokyo Bay, there will probably be some losses, and we are not ready to land on the Japanese mainland immediately, and I personally feel that the losses of a few fleets are a bit more than worth the losses. ”
Lin Daxin nodded and said: "In this war, landing on the Japanese mainland is a must, we must teach the Japanese a hard lesson this time, if there is a chance, Japan is a country better not to continue to exist, but now according to the intelligence of the Military Intelligence Agency, Russia, Germany, Italy, Austria-Hungary and the Ottoman Turkish Empire are not willing to end the war like this, and are massively increasing their forces to the front line of the Ural Mountains on the Russian battlefield, in an attempt to regain the initiative in this war on land." At present, the energy of our Imperial Chinese Army is still focused on the Ural Mountains, and the offensive against India is about to begin. As for the landing on the Japanese mainland, we will discuss it later. Send a telegram to Chen Ming to get several fleets out of Tonkin Bay in Japan and bring the loot back to the Weihaiwei shipyard for repairs. ”
After a pause, Lin Daxin continued: "But we can't withdraw all the fleets, let the commanders of the fleets discuss, leave some warships, and from now on, carry out a complete blockade of the three major islands of Japan, even the connection between the three major islands of Japan has also been cut off, and wait for our Royal Army to free up." Then clean up little Japan. ”
The Japanese Navy was attacked by the Imperial Chinese Navy in the port of Yokohama, and the news of the destruction of all the Japanese Navy ships in the port and the Japanese snatching the warships of the U.S. Navy's Pacific Fleet quickly spread throughout the world, which strengthened the determination of Britain and France to end the war.
Another country, which was also preparing to withdraw from the war, applauded the defeat of the Japanese Navy in Yokohama, and this country was the United States, which was hacked by the Japanese.
At the presidential office in Washington, U.S., U.S. President Theodore Roosevelt gloated to U.S. Vice President William Howard Taft, Secretary of the Navy George Dewey, and Secretary of the War John Joseph Pershing: "Everyone should already know the news that has just come. The Japanese were severely beaten by the Chinese Empire this time, and the Japanese Navy not only lost all the warships that had vilely robbed our Pacific Fleet of the United States of America, but also buried most of the original warships of the Japanese Navy, the combined fleet that the Japanese Navy had worked so hard to build over the past few years. I don't have much strength anymore, and I really deserve it! Retribution! ”
War Secretary John Joseph Pershing lamented: "It did not occur to me that the Entente and the Central Powers could only verbally condemn Japan's despicable acts. Our enemies, on the other hand, have avenged our revenge on the United States of America. This time the Japanese are miserable! ”
President Theodore Roosevelt snorted coldly and said, "The Japanese are even more miserable!" According to information from our US intelligence system, the officers and men of the Pacific Fleet of our US Navy. Many of them were killed by the Japanese in the process of looting warships, and this is a blood debt that Japan owes to us in the United States of America, and we must seek it back tenfold and hundredfold from the Japanese. ”
Secretary of the Navy George Dewey then gritted his teeth and said: "The Japanese have retribution for their evil deeds, and as a result, the strength of the Japanese Navy has dropped by several levels at once, and after the remaining warships of our Atlantic Fleet of the United States of America have returned, the strength of our US Navy has surpassed that of the Japanese Navy, can we study the matter of revenge?" ”
Vice President William Howard Taft said: "Now is not the time to seek revenge on Japan, the most important thing for us in the United States of America to do at present is to get out of this damn war as soon as possible, and in the shortest possible time, to reach an armistice with the Chinese Empire, and for Japan, with the great industrial strength of our United States of America, there is an opportunity to clean it up in the future." ”
President Theodore Roosevelt nodded and said: "Now that Britain and France are going to withdraw from this war, we will contact these two countries as soon as possible, and it is best for the three countries to negotiate an armistice with the Chinese Empire, hoping that our United States of America can pay less and get out of this damn war." ”
Vice President William Howard Taft sneered and said: "Even if we in the United States of America do not go to the Japanese to repay the blood debt, the life of the Japanese will not be easy, the navy of the Chinese Empire has wiped out most of the Japanese navy, and then according to the entanglement between Japan and the Chinese Empire, the Chinese Empire will not easily let go of Japan, a despicable country, and maybe in the future, it will be easier for the United States of America to find the Japanese for revenge." ”
Not only did the top level of the United States gloat over Japan's fiasco, but even the people of the United States were extremely happy that Japan had been beaten so severely by the Chinese Empire that they even forgot that the Chinese Empire had taken care of the United States enough, and many American cities even held parades to celebrate the great victory of the Chinese Empire in the port of Yokohama, Japan.
The defeat of the United States at the hands of the Chinese Empire was a dignified head-on confrontation no matter what, unlike Japan, which was filthy and even its allies had to sneak attack and rob the US Navy of the Pacific Fleet.
Now that this despicable villain has finally been punished, the warships snatched from the United States have not been covered by the Japanese in the arms of the Japanese, they have been dealt with by the navy of the Chinese Empire, and most of the original warships of the Japanese Navy have been boarded, which really makes the ordinary people of the United States very relieved, and they do not care that the Chinese Empire is still an enemy, and they have begun to celebrate this victory of different meanings through various forms.
Moreover, the Chinese Empire's victory in Yokohama, Japan, has even demonstrated its strong military strength, and many American people have also taken the opportunity of the march to call on the US Government to recognize the current situation and reach an armistice agreement with the Chinese Empire as soon as possible, so that the United States can get out of this war in which there is no hope of victory.
The U.S. government also complied with public opinion and became more active in contacting Britain and France in preparation for an armistice with the Chinese Empire.
In fact, the British are the most anxious to get out of this war, after all, India, which is extremely important to the British, is now facing the attack of the elite army of the Chinese Empire at any time, and the British know very well that with India's current strength, it will be a very, very difficult thing to keep India, an important source of raw materials.
The British did not want to see the scene of the Chinese Empire's million-dollar army crisscrossing India, so they were even prepared to let the lion of the Chinese Empire open his mouth.
However, everything must be negotiated with the Chinese Empire immediately, and when the elite of the Chinese Empire's million-dollar army enters India, it will be too late for the British.
The French now wear almost the same pants as the British, and the British want to end this war, and the French will certainly not continue to insist on fighting this war, and they have made it very clear that they are willing to advance and retreat with the British.
Britain and France, knowing the positive attitude of the Americans to end the war, immediately contacted the United States and expressed their willingness to end the war to the Chinese Empire.
Soon Britain, France, and the United States received a reply from the Chinese Empire and could talk, so the negotiators of Britain, France, and the United States soon arrived at Beijing, the capital of the Chinese Empire, through various channels. (To be continued.) )
