"Your Excellency, now we have three options, first, shell the coast of Japan, and then force it to negotiate in order to achieve our goal, but I doubt this, this country is too poor, and the most valuable cities are Tokyo and Osaka, Osaka has been destroyed by me, as for shelling Tokyo, it is better to land in Tokyo.

This is my second method, a direct landing in Tokyo, which is the simplest and most effective, but also the most dangerous, and this is the shore defense plan that I had recently obtained from an artillery battle with their Yokosuka fortress at the Uraga Waterway. Yang Feng said as he handed Waldzer a map he had just drawn up, and he had gone to harass Tokyo for this thing.

Although the torpedo boats and small gunboats of the Yokosuka town guard could be ignored, the coastal forts guarding their capital had to be careful, and the Japanese had been building the first new fortress at Kannonzaki since 1880, and now more than ten years have passed, and the results are naturally not comparable to the Yura fortress.

Waldzer hurriedly took it with a solemn face, and lay there with Moltke and Tirpitz to study, this map is not only the location of the Japanese artillery, including the number of ranges and calibers, these things are all marked, the Japanese fear of Yang Feng made them completely expose their details.

"I have to say it's a very strong line of defense." After reading the map, Tirpitz said without worry, because the cooperation between the two sides is mainly in the navy, so he and Yang Feng can be regarded as having a deep friendship.

"So if we're going to land in Tokyo, we'd better avoid these things, land in the Kamakura area, and use my landing ship to grab the beach. After consolidating the landing field, the Germans landed on a large scale, bypassing Yokosuka from the flank and rear, and then attacking Tokyo directly. However, the attack range will be greatly extended, and we will have to engage the Japanese army for a long time. As soon as their troops in Korea came back for reinforcements, then we had to retreat.

As for the third method, it is relatively simple, directly attack Kyushu Island, the Japanese army here only has the Kumamoto Sixth Division, the total strength will not exceed 20,000 people, and there will definitely be no reinforcements, but this division is the number one elite of the Japanese army, and the combat effectiveness can be said to be the strongest in the entire Japanese army. We may be caught up in a protracted war, which will create a lot of uncertainties, and you must know that there are many people who are dissatisfied with our actions. "There is no need to say who Yang Feng is referring to, but the British have not stopped their efforts for peace until now.

"Yang, let's land directly in Tokyo, just follow your second method, to use your old Chinese proverb, you always have to hit a snake with seven inches." Waldzer said without hesitation that tens of thousands of German soldiers had come all the way, and there had to be some morale-boosting gains. Looking at the grand occasion when the Anglo-French allied forces returned with a full load, you can know how this war should be carried out, Osaka, the richest in Japan, has been taken first by this guy in front of him, so the German army can only choose Tokyo. What is there to do in those poor places in Kyushu?

"Alright! Then I wish us a happy cooperation!" Yang Feng shrugged his shoulders and said, the two robbers' sin demon claws were held together with a smile, of course, there was still some preparation work to be made next. In particular, Yang Feng's work on the formation of the Eight-Nation Alliance.

Needless to say, the Russians have officially joined the four Russian cruisers. The Ryukyu side asked King Shangyin to drive the expedition in person, and take a dozen guards to show his face when the time comes. As for the Korean side, after learning that he was going to gather the Eight-Nation Alliance to crusade against Japan, Li Ergui sent Min Yongjun, the nephew of Concubine Min who was in exile in China, and he led 100 Korean troops to follow under the banner of revenge for the princess.

The Ottomans and Sweden just sent a telegram, replacing the Marauder fleet with the Swedish Navy flag, replacing the mercenaries with the Ottoman Army flag, and Boss Yang himself changing into Pasha clothes, as for the Chinese army, it was naturally the responsibility of Song Qing's Yi Army, so that the United States would remain.

"Yang, we don't have to pull in the Americans, now with our strength is enough, even if the Americans participate, they will send at most one or two warships, which will not make any sense to us at all." Waldzer felt very incomprehensible about Yang Fengfei pulling the Americans together.

Speaking of which, the United States, a country of great mang, is not very popular in the international community, greedy and cowardly, just wants to wait behind the lions like hyenas to grab a little leftovers, but does not dare to take even the slightest risk, swaggering through the market under the slogan of open door, to put it bluntly, he wants others to help him take advantage of him, pure a group of standard scoundrels, the German soldiers full of honor disdain to be with them.

"Earl, you know that I also have a lot of industry in the United States, and if I don't call them for such a thing, if I go to the United States in the future, those Yankees will definitely be dissatisfied with me." Yang Feng said, of course, he couldn't tell him that he was trying to make up the Eight-Nation Alliance.

Since he insisted like this, Waldzer couldn't say anything more, so Yang Feng quickly contacted Tian Bei, the US minister to China.

Tian Bei is well aware of Yang Feng's details, and now the oil predators in the United States have hollowed out their minds to tie up this guy, wanting to obtain oil cracking technology and gasoline antiknock agent technology from him, offending him and even the president of the United States will be very troublesome, since this request to him is naturally not refused, and it is nothing more than sending a warship to follow and cheer, this favor still has to be helped, so with the addition of an American cruiser, Yang Feng's eight-nation coalition was formally formed, and the commander-in-chief, Admiral Waldzer, Deputy Commander-in-Chief Yang Feng Pasha.

And just as the Eight-Nation Coalition was in full swing preparing for an expedition to Japan, the Japanese won another unexpected victory, and in the ice and snow of Korea, the First Army led by Yama Yama Aritomo broke through the Cheongchon River defense line in Iktanga in one fell swoop.

The rout of the Qing army still started from the banner people, even if Fengsheng A was removed from his post and imprisoned, he failed to muster the courage of the Shengzi training army, the Qizi training army, the Zhenbian army, and the Jingbian army, and they abandoned their positions and fled for their lives in less than an hour after the Japanese attack, and then the rout of the entire line of the various departments, it didn't matter if they were defeated, the key was that they threw away all their weapons when they were defeated, including more than 20 Makqin machine guns and more than 30 82 mortars made in Hanyang that had just been delivered to their hands. These weapons were soon used on the head of the only general who held his position, Zuo Valuable.

Poor General Zuo, because of the appearance of Yang Feng did not die in Pyongyang, but died in Anzhou, not killed by the Japanese shells, but was killed by the machine guns discarded by his own friendly troops, after he was killed, the Feng army was very simply scattered, and the first army led by Youpeng in Shan County followed the Qing army all the way to the Yalu River.

"Hurry up and ask O'Connor how many of the Makqin ordered by Cixi have been delivered." Yang Feng angrily asked Caiyi's sister to send a telegram to Shanghai.

Soon he received a reply from O'Connor that fifty had been delivered and fifty more were ready to be shipped.

"Tell him to send it directly to Taiwan, Ma's, it's not enough for them to cause trouble for themselves, and equip these machine guns with Song Qing, anyway, he is also a genuine Qing army." Yang Feng did not hesitate to intercept Cixi's batch of machine guns.

Not only machine guns, but also twenty mortars and four thousand Li Enfield rifles that were transported north together, plus bullets and shells were all transported to Taiwan and then redressed by Song Qing.

Now I still explain a fart, anyway, the money has already arrived, and they are all people from the imperial court, so it is not useful for anyone to use.

In this way, at the same time as the Japanese soldiers approached the Yalu River, the Eight-Nation Coalition Army also officially set sail from Keelung Port, and the British hurriedly notified Japan, and now Ito Hirobumi has no other choice, and all the efforts he can do during this time have been done, compensation, and apologies, and even the royal family has agreed to the request of the imperial family to go to Germany in person to apologize, and the Germans are biting the lease of Kyushu Island and the unconditional withdrawal of Japanese troops from Korea.

Since this is the case, he can only face the battle, he ordered the first and fifth divisions to be transferred back to China, leaving only the Oshima Yoshimasa Brigade to continue to hold the Anseong River and block the passage for the Huai army to attack Seoul in the north, while the first army continued to storm the Yalu River, and at the same time prepared to meet the Eight-Nation Alliance at home.

When he thought about it, he knew that the target of the attack of the Daode Army was nothing more than Kagoshima or Tokyo, anyway, the main force of the Japanese army on the mainland now was two divisions, although the seventh and eighth new divisions were formed in a hurry, but because there were not enough guns, more than half of the soldiers of these two divisions still used old-fashioned breech rifles, and such an army would not be of any use except for delaying the enemy's time.

There is no need for reinforcements on Kyushu Island, just let the Sixth Division defend it, Ito Hirobumi deployed all the Guards Division on the outskirts of Tokyo, using the terrain covered with rivers, arranging the defense line layer by layer, and according to the experience of the Asan Huai Army, a large number of trenches were dug on the periphery of Tokyo, and even a small amount of barbed wire was erected in some sections, and a large number of imitation grenades were also distributed, because the production of nitrocellulose and picric acid was not enough, and even black huoyao grenades began to be used.

Not only the army distributed, but even those who used cold weapons were issued grenades, and if the grenade production was not enough, they simply used black huoyao as improvised bombs, and even those who were not worthy of cold weapons simply took wooden sticks and bamboo spears, especially ancient bows and arrows were also picked up from the garbage heap of history, and for a while, the streets of Tokyo were like returning to the Warring States period, and even those ancient samurai in armor began to swagger through the market.

"The Yamato nation will use its own flesh and blood to pile up the grave of the invaders!" His Excellency the Prime Minister said impassionedly to reporters. (To be continued......)
