Okubo was only forty-five years old, at the prime of his life. Two months ago, he was the first person in Japanese politics, even though Iwakura was the prime minister, and he was only the secretary of the interior. However, the Ministry of Internal Affairs, of which he was the Secretary of the Interior, concentrated the power of the six departments of the Ministry of Counseling, the Police Protection, the Family Register, the Post Office (i.e., the postal service), the Civil Engineering, and the Geography Department, as well as the Survey Division, in his own hands. The scope of its jurisdiction involves all aspects of "colonization and development". He created the administrative organization of the Meiji Restoration government, which consisted of the central bureaucracy of the ten provinces of Foreign Affairs, Internal Affairs, Taizo, Army, Navy, Ministry of Education, Ministry of Education, Ministry of Industry, Justice, and Imperial Interior. In this way, a three-in-one leadership system was formed in Japan, with the Ministry of Internal Affairs under the leadership of Okubo Ritsu as the center, and the Ministry of Finance and Industry under the Ministry of Finance of Okuma Shigenshin and Hirobumi Ito.

The first of the three heroes after the Meiji Restoration, after Saigo Takamori withdrew from the government, he deserved his name.

The responsibility for Japan's defeat did not fall too much on him, and the power in his hands, his status in the hearts of the ministers of the Meiji government, did not change, or even higher. Because this defeat proved the undesirable of the rapid conscription faction, Japan was still weak and did not have the energy to compete with China, the old empire.

However, Okubo himself doesn't seem to think so, his physical condition is not good, and his mental state is not good. The handsome body collapsed, and every day he was groggy or sleeping or waking up. But as soon as he woke up, he sat there alone thinking about something.

Sick of him, he was even more silent. But it is also like a wounded beast, which is even more dangerous.

The door was gently pushed open, and an attaché bowed respectfully ninety degrees at the door: "Your Excellency, Mr. Takahashi has arrived." ”

Okubo Ritsu sat on the tatami meter, and in the room, he saw his eyes flash, and a cold, heart-stopping divine light shot straight out of his eyes.

"Takahashi-kun, come in!"

The figure at the door flashed, but it was a Chinese dress, wearing a cotton robe and a silk leather shoulder. He looked like an ordinary businessman with a well-to-do Chinese, and he had a big braid hanging down his back. Seeing Okubo Ritsu like this, his eyes flashed, and he was also startled. I didn't expect that the first person in Japanese politics would be like this now.

"Your Excellency......"

"Takahashi-kun, I raised a special fee of about two million yen [at this time, 1 yen is probably equivalent to the same Eagle Ocean]. I'll leave it all to you. You take it to Qingguo, and spend it all! The imperial historians of the Qing State, the officials and generals of the Qing State in Shaanxi and Liangguang, and all kinds of Chinese officials who can stumble and make trouble for Liu Xian in the open and in the dark, you have to find a way to contact and find a way to buy them! I have only one request, to let all their spearheads be aimed at Liu Xian and his Qin army!

On the other hand, it is to tout Liu Xian and his Qin army, and shape them into the strongest army in the world, the only army in the Qing State that can fight, and the great heroes of the Qing State, the great heroes ...... "This trick is called killing!"

"It's a long-term task. It's not something that can be done in a single year. In the future, the special fee will only be more, and it will never be less than it is now!! ”

Takahashi, who is the same as the Chinese, does not move, bends slightly, and still looks like a Chinese. He knew very well what Okubo Ritsu's abacus was. After thinking for a moment, he smiled bitterly: "Your Excellency, it is very difficult. The imperial kingdom has only just entered China, and it has not developed a deep foundation or a vast network of relationships. And Liu Xian's reputation in the Qing Kingdom is now skyrocketing. If you want to attack him, even if the Qing officials take the money, they will not do anything. As for the ...... killing, it will be more effective! But the rulers of the Qing State are not idiots, and the matter of self-destruction of the Great Wall ......"

"So I said, it's a long task. And what I want is not to let go of anything, what I want is to gather all the strength. ………… In the Qing country, some of my friends can also assist you, and foreign friends also have them! Get rid of Liu Xian and his Qin army group, and we have common interests with all foreigners in this matter, including Britain, France, the United States, and Russia. You don't have to worry about that.

As for whether the attack on Liu Xian had any effect, and whether the emperor and empress dowager of the Qing Dynasty would destroy the Great Wall......

Dripping water pierces stones, ropes and saws wood breaks. As long as we work hard, it can always make a difference.

Don't forget, Liu Xian was Han Chinese, and the rulers of the Qing State were Manchurians. Liu's greatest enemy was not us, but the Manchurian officials within the Qing who were wary of the rise of Han power. All you have to do is find them as much as you can and inspire them.

A Han hero is a greater threat to the Manchurians than a mediocre official of a Han Chinese. After the Taiping Rebellion, Manchurian rule in China had been shaken. Their vigilance and suspicion will be greater! ”

"Takahashi-kun, if you can do this, even if you are always hidden in the shadows, you will also leave the most brilliant mark in the history of the rise of the imperial kingdom. You will be the hero of the imperial kingdom, because of your efforts, you have swept away the biggest and heaviest stumbling block for the rise of the imperial kingdom! ”

"Hey!" Takahashi bowed solemnly, and could no longer see the slightest hint of Chinese flavor. Nodding his head heavily, he turned around and strode away, leaving only the thin figure of Okubo Ritsu on the tatami mat.

After Takahashi left, Okubo Ritsu was silent for a moment, and a smile appeared on his raised face: "In life, I have such an opponent, fortunately, fortunately!" Liu Jun, the victory or defeat between you and me is far from being conclusive. You, now just take the lead once......"

……

Liu Xian on the ship stayed alone in the room, looking through the battle summaries sent by various departments. The Qin army's performance in this battle was very satisfying to Liu Xian. Not to mention the veterans, the appearance of the recruits can also crush the Japanese army.

Although most of the recruits on the battlefield appear to be dull, the flexible application of various tactics is a little rusty. The most significant thing is that in terms of the replacement of the triangular battle formation, and when fighting the Japanese in close hand-to-hand combat, they are much weaker than the veterans in terms of timing with pistols and bayonets.

But in terms of combat effectiveness, he can overwhelm the Japanese army at this moment, so what is Liu Xian not worried about?

The advance of combat methods and military thinking made the combat effectiveness of the Qin army very guaranteed!

Liu Xian looked at the focus of the operation summary, and focused more on firepower and weaponry. Quite a number of officers at the brigade level said that the firepower was insufficient. When dealing with the intensive charge of the Japanese army, the firepower at the brigade level was quite difficult. A fire squadron is set up in a brigade-level formation, equipped with two heavy machine guns, and four to eight mortars, just like in the Marine Corps. Strengthen the firepower of a certain squad in the squadron-level formation, equipped with at least one heavy machine gun, a certain number of repeating guns, and two mortars to form a strong firepower squad.

Liu Xian took a graphite pen and wrote and drew on a piece of white paper, that is, according to this configuration, how many heavy machine guns and how many mortars that the entire Qin army would need to be officially reequipped in the future before they could be fully equipped. As a result, the discovery was an 'astronomical amount'!

With such a configuration, you can fight head-on with the little devils in World War II, right? In this era, it is simply super-level firepower. Moreover, after the reorganization of the troops according to this arrangement, the number of troops in each brigade will be expanded to 650 to 700 men.

Another aspect is the hygienists, one hygienist per squadron, which is obviously not enough. In the heat of the battlefield, there is simply no care. The battle of the Qin army to attack Japan was definitely a 'fierce battle', and there were frequent cases on the battlefield that the wounded and sick could not be sent to the rear in time, and the wounded were sent to the medical battalion without idle military doctors, and could not be treated in time. But Liu Xian has no extra hygienists in his hands at all, and now with the configuration of one squadron with one, the entire Qin army has not yet been rolled out. As some officers have mentioned, a squadron should have at least two hygienists, and the brigade-level sanitary corps should be expanded to more than 15 people, and there should be two or three military doctors with reliable medical skills.

"How difficult." Sighing, Liu Xian looked at the last problem - logistics and heavy transportation.

It was a little different from when he was fighting the French, and when Liu Xian was fighting Japan, the consumption of ammunition, especially the consumption of artillery shells, exceeded expectations a lot.

The Qin army used 30 shells as the most basic unit in terms of logistics and transportation. That is, under normal circumstances, a battle can be ended in the number of thirty rounds of one cannon. But judging from the situation of the war against Japan, this number should be raised to fifty rounds.

The grenade is a base of five, and generally a soldier carries a maximum of five, and any more is a bit cumbersome. But in this battle, five grenades were not used at all. In some important offensive and defensive battles, even ten pieces were not enough for the soldiers to throw.

The pistol bullet is a base of fifty rounds, which is not broken. It can go on and on. And because of the limited personal carrying capacity of the grenade, five pieces are a base, and Liu Xian can't change it if he wants to.

Finally, there are rifle bullets. The same fifty rounds are a base number, which is not enough for the same as artillery shells and grenades. "At least a hundred rounds! The repeater had to be raised to 150 rounds. ”

These are all annoying. Not counting the heavy machine gun, the latter Liu Xian set a base of 1,000 rounds.

Modern warfare is about logistics, logistics and transportation are insufficient, guns and guns run out of bullets, and the German army will be abused like dogs by the Qing army. The ammunition base is the most basic factor in military logistics transportation. It has been some years since the Qin army was implemented, and now that it has changed, it is the most annoying thing for the entire logistics department.

Liu Xian can now think of the way the sky fell after Fan Debang learned the news.

On June 16, the fleet passed through the Ryukyus. At the Port of Naha, Santai organized one of the biggest celebrations in the history of the Ryukyus. With a smile on his face, Santai was not at all relieved that the negotiations between the Ryukyus and the Netherlands on the revision of the treaty had completely failed. For the Ryukyu Kingdom, now is the time to celebrate, to rejoice.

The crisis of national destruction that had been pressing on his head had been completely eliminated, and the threat that had been pressing on his head for more than 200 years had been completely eradicated, and Shangtai and the whole of Ryukyu felt unprecedented at this moment. R1152
