In Geneva, Switzerland, after the signing of the armistice between the Entente and the Central Powers, representatives of various countries did not leave immediately. Howard? At Taft's suggestion, the 10 countries of the Entente powers, Britain, France, and Russia, the allies of Germany, Italy, Austria, and Turkey, and the US-Japan alliance, formed an alliance against the Chinese Empire, but the nature of this alliance was relatively loose, and it was only nominal, not a military alliance.

Immediately after the armistice, the countries of the Entente and the Central Powers began to **** the wounds caused by this war, and the investment in armaments was also greater.

While feeling sorry for the sudden end of the great war that broke out in Europe, Lin Daxin could not help but raise his vigilance against the Entente, the Allied Powers, and the US-Japan Alliance, and Lin Daxin had a feeling that in the near future, the Chinese Empire would definitely have a large-scale war with the Allied Powers, the Allied Powers, and the US-Japan Alliance.

Time flies, at the beginning of June 1914, one and a half years have passed soon after the end of Europe, at the Prime Minister's official residence in Tokyo, Japan, the current Japanese Prime Minister Katsura Taro said to the former Japanese Prime Minister Saionji Gongwang: "Teacher, our Great Japanese Navy Combined Fleet currently has 2 Fengxiang-class aircraft carriers, 2 Hyuga-class super dreadnought battleships, 2 Hiei-class battlecruisers, 6 Ise-class super dreadnought battleships, 6 Fuso-class super dreadnought battleships and 3 Amagi-class dreadnought battleships, However, the finances of our Great Japanese Empire can no longer come up with the money to continue to build new capital warships in a short period of time, and the enemy of our Great Japanese Navy's combined fleet, the Royal Navy of the Chinese Empire, has begun to build a new batch of capital warships after the new 32 capital warships have been put into service, and according to our intelligence, it seems that the shipyards of the Chinese Empire have begun to build 32 capital warships at the same time. ”

Gongwang of Xiyuan Temple smiled bitterly and said: "In this way, the number of the main warships of the Royal Navy of the Chinese Empire has reached 136, am I not mistaken?" ”

Katsura Taro nodded solemnly and said: "Teacher, you are not mistaken, the number of capital warships of the Imperial Navy of the Chinese Empire has indeed reached a terrifying 136, and now there are 32 capital warships under construction in the shipyards of the Chinese Empire, and the large dockyards of our Great Japanese Empire Shipyard can only be idle because of lack of funds. ”

Saionji Gongwang looked at Katsura Taro's eyes, and then asked in a deep voice: "Then the prime minister came to me, could it be that he is preparing to attack the Chinese Empire?" ”

A gleam flashed in Katsura Taro's eyes, and then he said with a little excitement: "Teacher, the finances of our Great Japanese Empire can no longer support our Great Japanese Empire to continue the arms race, if it drags on any longer, just feeding the current naval combined fleet and more than 3.5 million Great Japanese Imperial Army troops can bankrupt the finances of our Great Japanese Empire, so the students think that our Great Japanese Empire must wage war against the Chinese Empire as soon as possible in order to take revenge and re-emerge!" ”

Xiyuan Temple Gongwang was silent for a moment and said: "What does the Prime Minister mean, does he want to provoke a war with the Chinese Empire, and then pull the United States into the water by virtue of the US-Japan Alliance, otherwise relying on our Great Japanese Empire alone, it will not be able to compete with the Chinese Empire." ”

Katsura Taro nodded and said: "The teacher guessed very correctly, not only the United States, but also the Entente and the Allies are likely to be pulled into the water, you must know that these countries have vigorously developed armaments in recent years, basically against the Chinese Empire, but they have been engaged in an arms race, the United States and the Entente Britain, France, Russia and the Allied Powers Germany, Italy, Austria and Turkey, have long been a little unbearable, and now all countries lack an opportunity to launch a war against the Chinese Empire, and our Great Japanese Empire is willing to create this opportunity for all countries." ”

Belgium was restored after the European War, and also got on the big ship of the Entente, in fact, the countries on the big ship of the Entente also include the Kingdom of Serbia, the Kingdom of Montenegro and the Duchy of Luxembourg, but except for Belgium, the strength of the rest of the countries is too weak and the sense of existence is not strong.

Xiyuan Temple Gongwang sighed and said: "It is true that as the prime minister said, the United States and the Allied countries, as well as the Allied countries, are not much stronger than our Empire Japan, but whether the Entente and the Allies can join this war is unknown, once the Entente and the Allies stand by and watch, then even if the United States and our Empire of Japan fight side by side, they may not be able to defeat the Chinese Empire." ”

Katsura Taro then said confidently: "Teacher, I believe that as long as you pull the Americans into the water, the Americans will find a way to pull all the Entente and Central Powers into the water." ”

Saionji Gongwang then smiled bitterly and said: "According to the current situation of our Great Japanese Empire, it is true that it will not be able to drag on unless we carry out disarmament, but in that case, the hope of our Great Japanese Empire to rise again will be completely shattered." ”

"Teacher, it is precisely because of this that our Great Japanese Empire has to take dangerous measures and put it to death and survive, otherwise our Great Japanese Empire will really have no hope at all! Now in the emperor's situation, the students can only consult with the teacher! Katsura Taro said with some excitement in his tone.

Saionji Gongwang suddenly stood up, bowed to Katsura Taro, and then stood up straight and said, "Prime Minister, the fate of the empire is up to you!" For the sake of the re-emergence of our Great Japanese Empire, Prime Minister, you can do it! Not only me, but the entire empire will support you! ”

Katsura Taro also stood up and bowed excitedly to the Saionji Gongwang, "Teacher, rest assured, this time our Great Japanese Empire will definitely defeat the Chinese Empire, in order to avenge the deep hatred of the sea of blood for many years, and let the Great Japanese Empire stand on the corpse of the Chinese Empire and re-emerge in Greater East Asia!" ”

At about 9 o'clock in the morning on June 5, 1914, in the Tsugaru Strait between the Kitashima Province of the Chinese Empire and the Honshu Island of Japan, a destroyer of the Hakodate garrison fleet of the Imperial Chinese Navy was patrolling.

The captain of this destroyer of the Imperial Chinese Navy was a little surprised to see several Japanese fishing boats suddenly appear in the Tsugaru Strait, you must know that because the Tsugaru Strait is close to the North Island Province of the Chinese Empire, Japanese fishermen are afraid of causing unnecessary trouble, so they basically do not come here to fish.

While the captain of the destroyer was still wondering, a deafening explosion suddenly sounded on the sea.

"Where did it explode?"

"One Japanese fishing boat on the other side suddenly exploded!"

"Look, that Japanese fishing boat is starting to sink!"

The captain of the destroyer suddenly felt even more strange, how could a Japanese fishing boat suddenly explode for no reason? The captain of the destroyer hesitated, then ordered to approach the sinking Japanese fishing boat, and quickly reported what had happened here to the fleet commander of the Hakodate garrison fleet by radio.

The rest of the Japanese fishing boats, seeing the destroyers of the Imperial Chinese Navy sailing towards them, immediately turned their bows and sailed in the direction of Japan's Honshu Island, while when the destroyer of the Hakodate garrison fleet came to the location of the Japanese fishing boat outbreak, only some wooden fragments and a few floating corpses remained on the sea.

At 8 o'clock in the morning of 6 June, the Japanese Government suddenly held a press conference, announcing that yesterday morning, a destroyer of the Imperial Chinese Navy opened fire on several Japanese fishing boats that were fishing in the Tsugaru Strait for no reason, and sank a Japanese fishing boat, resulting in the death of six people.

The Japanese spokesman finally issued a strong protest against the Chinese Empire, and demanded that the Chinese Empire must hand over the murderer, that is, all the personnel of the Imperial Chinese Navy destroyer, and that the Chinese Empire should compensate and apologize to the Japanese fishermen who died, otherwise Japan would definitely take tough measures, including the use of war means.

The press conference held by Japan immediately caused a shock, the Japanese had their heads squeezed by the crack in the door, how dare they treat the Chinese empire so toughly, you must know that the Chinese empire, as the world's largest power, does not need to exert all its strength, only needs to stretch out a hand, and it can crush the country of Japan.

In the Qianqing Palace of the Forbidden City in Beijing, the capital of the Chinese Empire, Lin Daxin asked Wu Peifu, Minister of Defense of the Chinese Empire, with a gloomy face: "Is the investigation clear?" Was that Japanese fishing boat sunk by a destroyer of our Navy? ”

Wu Peifu immediately said indignantly: "Your Majesty, it has been investigated clearly, the Japanese are absolutely framed, our destroyer patrolling the Tsugaru Strait did not fire a single shell at all, and the sinking of the fishing boat this time is likely to be a farce written and directed by the Japanese!" ”

Lin Daxin touched his chin and said: "In this way, the Japanese are probably a little uncomplacent, and they are ready to wrestle with our Chinese Empire, otherwise where would the Japanese dare to have such a tough attitude!" ”

At this time, Wang Yan, the prime minister of the Chinese Imperial Cabinet next to him, said: "Your Majesty, in order to develop armaments, Japan has invested more than 80 percent of its fiscal revenue in the army in recent years, and now Japan has no strength to continue to expand the scale of Japan's navy, land and air forces, and Japan's new main warships have been in service for a short time, but the large docks of Japanese shipyards have been unable to start building new main warships, and the Japanese are likely to take risks because of the problem of financial pressure and launch a war against our Chinese empire. And because of the existence of the US-Japan alliance, the Americans are also likely to be dragged into the water by Japan. ”

After a pause, Wang Yan continued: "The minister is worried that the Entente and the Allied Powers will also want to come to troubled waters? You must know that the hostility of the Entente and the Central Powers towards our Chinese Empire has not been eliminated over the years, but has become stronger and stronger. ”

Wu Peifu nodded and said: "The incident of the sinking of the fishing boat should have been deliberately planned by the Japanese, and Japan is likely to be preparing for a war with our Chinese Empire, Your Majesty, it seems that we need to make some preparations, after all, the United States and Japan are allies, and the Entente and the Allied Powers also have a great chance of uniting with Japan and the United States." ”

Lin Daxin touched his chin again, then sneered and said: "The soldiers will block the water and cover the earth, Japan is a country, I have always looked at it unpleasantly, if the last war had not been for the sudden outbreak of the epidemic in China, maybe there would have been no Japan in this world for a long time." ”

Lin Daxin turned his head and said to Wu Peifu: "Immediately order the navy, land and air forces of various provinces around Japan to enter a state of first-level combat readiness and be ready to start a war with Japan at any time. ”

Wu Peifu said confidently: "Your Majesty, I believe that with the strength of our Imperial Chinese Empire's royal navy, land and air force, even if all the enemies are united, our Chinese Empire is also confident that it will win the final victory in the war." ”

The Imperial Army of the Chinese Empire still has 10 guards, 25 field armies and 54 garrisons, of which the establishment of the guards and field armies is still about 150,000 people, but the establishment of 54 garrisons has been strengthened after the end of the European war, and now the establishment of 54 garrisons is still different, but the smallest garrison has more than 50,000 officers and soldiers, the largest garrison army, and even more than the guards and field armies.

The total strength of the Imperial Chinese Army is close to 9 million, and there are as many as 40 million army reservists.

On the surface, the main warships of the Imperial Chinese Navy totaled 29 aircraft carriers, 47 super dreadnought battleships, 24 battle cruisers and 36 dreadnought battleships, a total of 136 capital warships, as well as 82 large fast armored cruisers, 108 medium armored cruisers, 320 fast protection cruisers, 340 destroyers, 644 torpedo boats and 336 submarines.

In fact, the Royal Navy of the Chinese Empire secretly has 3 more powerful task force aircraft carrier formations, all of which are advanced warships stolen from modern time and space and blue water planet time and space.

The combined 3 task force has 3 large aircraft carriers, 2 small aircraft carriers, 4 escort aircraft carriers, 6 missile battleships, 6 missile battle cruisers, 12 missile cruisers, 24 missile destroyers, 24 missile frigates, 2 amphibious assault ships and 22 submarines.

With these three task force aircraft carrier formations, the navies of other countries in the world are united, and the Royal Navy of the Chinese Empire is also fully confident that it can win the battle.

The number of new fighters of the Royal Air Force of the Chinese Empire has exceeded 6,000, and the performance of the tens of thousands of fighters originally equipped by the Air Force is not backward compared with the new fighters of other countries in the world.

The Imperial Chinese Imperial Navy, Army, and Air Force have such a strong strength, and it is no wonder that Lin Daxin, Wu Peifu and others have the confidence to single-handedly challenge the whole world! (To be continued.) )
