Chapter 179: One Man's Resistance Against Japan

Of course, the Japanese will not compensate him for the loss, and now they all hate to go up and bite Yang Feng, which can be seen from their eyes.

Mainly because this thing is so arrogant, not only stabbed the Japanese, but then ran over and sprinkled salt on the wound.

Under the protection of more than a dozen warships, large and small, Yang Feng stood on the deck of the Marauder in his pirate costume and with an expression of abandonment on his orchid fingers, looking at the belly-facing Izumo with an admiring gaze of his work, the huge propeller reflecting a golden glow in the early morning sun.

This armored cruiser, with a displacement of nearly 10,000 tons, is now completely hopeless, and two torpedoes with a warhead charge of more than 200 kilograms have each torpedoed a huge gap more than 10 meters long under its starboard waterline, and the surging sea water quickly dragged it down, rolled it on its side, and then knocked it upside down, and it will not be long before this warship, which has been rampaging in China for decades, will completely sink to the bottom of the sea.

"Yang, what's going on here?" The British ambassador Judgan, who was standing next to him, gloated that he happened to be in Shanghai, and immediately boarded a warship to rescue Yang Feng after receiving the news.

"I don't know what to do, it's probably a self-explosion! They seem to have this tradition. Yang Feng said with a smile.

"It looks like it's been torpedoed." Judgan said.

"You don't think I sank the Izumo with a torpedo, do you?" Yang Feng said.

"How is it possible, I didn't see a torpedo on your ship!" Judd said with a dry smile, Yang Feng was reluctant to admit that he was naturally happy to cooperate, and in the end, he was more happy to see the Japanese suffer.

The two guys were there gloating, completely ignoring the blood-red eyes of the Japanese sailors who rowed their dinghys searching for survivors on the sea.

Yang Feng would not admit that he sank Izumo and Tatsuda with a torpedo, but instead tried to play himself as an innocent person who was injured.

On the docks in Shanghai. In front of the cameras of countless reporters, Yang Feng, who had put on some makeup and even burned his clothes with a lighter, cried with tears in his eyes about how he was attacked by the Japanese navy at sea.

The huge hole in the stern of the Marauder, the white hull blackened by smoke and fire. All of them made everyone present deeply feel the danger at that time.

"This is a violation of justice, this is a violation of freedom, this barbaric act is simply not something that a civilized country can do, and the Japanese government must explain to me, apologize, compensate me for my economic losses and mental wounds.

I would also like to ask the Japanese government, why are they attacking an ordinary civilian ship on the high seas? Are we still living in the age of the Wakos? Or has their country, that people, not changed this essence for hundreds of years? Yang Feng waved his fist. Spit roared.

Not only did he publicize the brutal attack he suffered at home, but he even made the propaganda abroad, and tomorrow Daily reported on the experience of his big boss with a special page, of course, it was artistically processed.

The matter has become that Yang Feng was on his own private yacht, the Marauder, and on the way to the United States, he was suddenly attacked by the Japanese fleet in the East China Sea, and then he had to rely on his speed advantage to transfer to Shanghai, but he did not expect the Japanese to let him go. The Izumo, the flagship of the Third Fleet, was even dispatched in Shanghai to intercept it.

Yang Feng had to lead the crew to resist with the ship's four self-propelled guns, but in the end, the strength was weak. The Marauder suffered a heavy blow, and he and more than 100 innocent lives were about to be buried in the sea, but fortunately, the fleets of the United States, Britain and France in Shanghai received the news and rushed to the rescue, and he saved the day.

This article was written by Yang Feng in Shanghai, and he specially asked Lin Yutang to write it in English. It makes people feel like they are on the sea.

In the dark night, on the vast sea, a lonely and helpless civilian ship was attacked by a dozen evil cruisers and destroyers. There was even a brutal attack by a large armored cruiser, and the desperate crew fought valiantly with the only four army guns in order to survive.

In the midst of the flames of war, the smoke of gunfire, and the explosion of cannonballs, an old and wise captain, a young and valiant shipowner, and a weak maiden by his side, a group of loyal sailors, fearless in the face of death, because they firmly believe that light can eventually triumph over darkness.

Even the heavens seemed to hear their voices, and at the moment when they were about to die in battle, they finally waited for the rescue of the righteous side.

The influence of this product in Europe and the United States is undoubtedly very great, especially in the United States, his image among the people has always been very good, and it is even better among women, and this year the quantum fund has waved dollars to solve the crisis and help the poor, and it really has a lot of influence in the US Congress, plus the Japanese have done this thing is indeed not authentic, after a media bombardment, the entire Western world almost unanimously accused Japan, as for what Yang Feng only suffered one shell, and the Japanese sank two cruisers, No one delves into this too much.

However, the Japanese did not react to Yang Feng's various performances, and even when the reporter asked the Japanese foreign minister, he only refused to respond on the grounds that he did not understand the situation for the time being and that the navy was investigating, but immediately after that, the Japanese Navy's joint fleet announced that it would hold a large-scale military exercise in the Pacific Ocean.

"It's so arrogant that they simply ignore international justice, and what do they think the Pacific Ocean is, is it the inland sea of their Japanese? Is it great to have a warship? But then again, they do have a lot of warships, and the last time I saw the Nagato scared me, I have never seen such a powerful warship in the United States! In his private villa in Shanghai, Yang Feng said indignantly.

Today, in the name of thanking the fleets of the United States, Britain and France for rescuing him, this product held a cocktail party here, inviting almost all the bigwigs in Shanghai, plus a group of foreign officers, courtesans led by Tang Ying, movie stars, and opera celebrities, to fill his spacious villa.

Speaking of which, this matter is still of great benefit to him, first of all, the problem of his armed yacht has been solved, because the Japanese government has such an inexplicable hostile attitude towards him, he believes that his Marauder can no longer guarantee safety at sea, so he hopes that Europe and the United States and other countries can allow his Marauder to carry weapons into the port, especially torpedoes and other heavy weapons.

"I'll report that back home, but I don't think there's a problem with that. The UK Government and I very much want to keep you safe. Judgan said.

They didn't want to, they couldn't, because Yang Feng had already told him with certainty: "If something happens to me personally, Yanhuang Lab will fully cooperate with Germany, you may think it is rude for us to do this, but as a weak person we have no choice." Since we cannot do our part as defenders of the international order, we must take measures to protect ourselves. ”

Judgan shrugged, he knew very well the strength of Yang Feng's threat, a scientific organization like Yanhuang Laboratory with strong research and development capabilities, if it fell to Germany in an all-round way, it would be a disaster, but it was unrealistic to expect Britain to come out to contain Japan, the declining British Empire was no longer what it was like, and it could only take a defensive position in the face of Japan's aggressive expansion. Besides, at this time, the Spanish Civil War had already begun, and they couldn't take care of it at their own doorstep, so how could they still be in the mood to care about Asia, and it was much better to leave China to Japan to gnaw slowly than to force them to bite people in the world.

Han Caiyi, who was wearing a dress and a long skirt as she was talking, hurriedly walked over and said, "Boss, I just received a telegram from Beiping that the Japanese Navy has blocked the Dagu Pass and forbade all Chinese merchant ships from going to sea. And they claim that if you continue to maintain the ban on drugs in Japan, they will lock it down forever. ”

Yang Feng sneered. He looked at Jia Degan very meaningfully, and the ban on the sale of this drug was not only Jinyuan's, but even the two pharmaceutical factories in the United States and Germany, he also ordered a ban on the sale to Japan.

"Yang, you don't have to be angry with the Japanese at this point, as you often say. The Japanese people are innocent! Juddan admonished him.

"No, I will definitely not give in to the Japanese government, didn't they ban Chinese merchant ships from going to sea? Then we'll use someone else's boat! Tell Beiping and let Lao Li contact all the Chinese merchant ships stranded in Tianjin, and I Yang Feng will be responsible for all losses during the stay! Yang Feng said unceremoniously to Han Caiyi.

Judgan looked at him helplessly. He sighed in his heart that this product was really wealthy, but he also knew very well that Yang Feng really had the qualifications to fight with Japan, and besides, this matter was also good for the British, and the vast majority of the merchant ships that ran the Tianjin route were British merchants except for China, and since the Japanese did not let the Chinese ships run, the business naturally fell into the hands of British merchants.

"Boss, if the trouble is too stiff, it will not be good for us, if the Japanese Navy bombards Yangma Island, then we will suffer a big loss." Yu Maoren whispered on the side.

He said this Yang Feng only remembered that he did still have a place where the Japanese could be pinched, and now although the construction of Yangma Island has not yet been completed, it has begun to take shape, and it would be a pity if the Japanese bombarded it with artillery after it was completed.

"Send a telegram to the United States and ask Lockheed to find a way to send me at least four Liberator bombers." The creature thought for a moment and said.

"Boss, what are you doing here?" Yu Maoren was taken aback and hurriedly asked.

"It's nothing, if the Japanese dare to bombard Yangma Island with artillery, I will dare to use bombers to drop bombs on Tokyo!" Yang Feng said with a cruel smile.

Lockheed has just won an order for 100 long-range bombers from the US Army Air Corps, and Yang Feng just bought 400 tons of aluminum alloy to send them when he went back last time, and now he is going all out to produce it! If you think there is no problem in producing four planes, with Yang Feng's influence in the United States, there will be no restrictions on the export of this thing.

"In addition, I will issue a statement in my name, from now on, if any Chinese businessman buys Japanese machinery and raw materials again, then Jinyuan will put him on his blacklist, and will not cooperate with him in any form in the future, as for who they will buy in the future, I don't care about this, but if they buy from the United States, I will subsidize the price difference for them." Yang Feng then said.

Yu Maoren gasped, this is the rhythm that is going to force the Japanese to death! Everyone knows that Japan's main market is in China, and if Yang Feng does this, their market will shrink by at least a quarter, which is undoubtedly a stab in the face of Japan's economic crisis, but in this way, Jin Yuan will lose a lot.

"Do you think those businessmen are too embarrassed to ask me for a subsidy?" Yang Feng seemed to see his concerns and said with a smile.

Yu Maoren was relieved when he thought about it, although American goods are actually more expensive than Japanese goods, the quality is better, and the same is true in terms of raw materials, and even American goods are cheaper. It's just that the Japanese pulled down the price through smuggling and threatening the national government with force to reduce taxes, and the loss to those businessmen with American goods was limited, but if this loss was exchanged for hugging Yang Feng's thigh, it could be said that they made a lot of money.

I didn't see Yang Feng casually get a windproof match. Let Zhang Xinwu's match factory sell matches all over the world? Nowadays, it is no longer fashionable for the upper class of Shanghai to take out a lighter, and it is fashionable to take out a beautiful windproof match.

Thinking about this, Yu Maoren was relieved, as for how to threaten those Chinese businessmen, he was better at this, in fact, there was no need for Yang Feng to take the initiative, at this time, there were already some Shanghai businessmen who were waiting to have a relationship with him began to shout such slogans, and when Yang Feng's public statement was published in the newspaper, there would be more people who made this fun.

And Yang Feng also said that his boycott activities have a time limit. When the Japanese government publicly apologizes to him, and then promises not to happen again, and compensates him for his losses, then the boycott will be over.

It should be said that this stick was a bit harsh, and the Japanese were a little dizzy, and the call for a boycott of Japanese goods in China was very high, but after all, the business community mainly pursued profits, so it was a bit difficult for them to abandon cheap Japanese goods to buy European and American goods. But with Yang Feng on the side, coercion and temptation are completely different, just after his statement was issued. Chambers of commerce in several of China's most important economic cities, such as Pingjin, Shanghai, Wuhan, Guangzhou, ......, have simultaneously issued a call for a boycott of Japanese goods, and this time not as a slogan. Many factory owners even pay liquidated damages to stop importing Japanese products.

The severity of the situation made Japanese Ambassador Ariyoshiaki jump up and down in a hurry, and even did not hesitate to go to the bald man to protest and negotiate. Threat.

The bald guy must be helpless, and to be honest, he's stealing fun right now! I wish the Japanese and Yang Feng were bleeding, and then he would sit back and collect the fish, and now it is already very good if he doesn't add another fire.

Besides, the bald guy still wants to protest with him! You and Yang Feng are fighting, why are you blocking Dagukou? I have the strength to rush to Yang Feng, but he can't see me as a bully?

"Your Excellency, the behaviour of your country is simply appalling, attacking legitimate civilian vessels on the high seas is hardly credible as the act of a civilized country, and the impudent blockade of another country's ports and the prohibition of merchant ships from leaving them are even more appalling!" The bald guy said in a snarky tone.

Ariyoshiaki, who was humiliated, rushed back to the embassy angrily, he really didn't know what he was saying about the Navy's action to punish sheep, he belonged to the moderate faction in relations with China, and he lacked a common language with those madmen in the military, and this operation was carried out by the Admiralty, and there was no need to inform him, so he knew about it even later than the ambassadors of the United States, Britain, and France.

As for the blockade of Dagukou, he was also unaware of the fact beforehand, and this was entirely an act of revenge by the Navy in a hurry after the loss of two cruisers.

To be honest, there is no point in doing this, you can still take the railway if you don't take the Dagu Pass, and there are other countries' merchant ships to choose from, and even this is not good for Japanese businessmen, and many of the Chinese merchant ships going to sea at the Dagu Pass are going to Nagasaki and importing goods from Japan to the country.

A group of young officers of the Third Fleet were blocking here, strongly demanding that the Marines should be dispatched to attack Shanghai, and then directly drag Yang Feng out and dissect his body in order to avenge His Excellency the Commander lying in the hospital, and the hundreds of naval officers and men who fed the fish in the sea, as well as their flagship.

His Excellency the Ambassador, who was holding back the fire in his belly, finally broke out, carrying an officer's collar and scolding, a bunch of idiots who rely on others to wipe their butts, and attacked Shanghai, Yang Feng is now in the public concession, do you want to start a war with the United States and Britain? Last time, you couldn't even do it with the 19th Route Army, and you had to wipe your ass with the Kwantung Army, and now who do you want to wipe your ass with? The Kwantung Army didn't have any kung fu.

The Kwantung Army really didn't have any kung fu, knowing that Yang Feng was attacked by the Japanese and almost died in the belly of the fish, it was not only the businessmen who wanted to show something, Tang Juwu of Changbai Mountain, with the help of Dong Zhentang's group of advisers, suddenly concentrated the forces of the two armies and launched a local counteroffensive, and ate more than 5,000 people in Yu Zhishan at once on the southern front, and even Yu Zhishan himself was seriously injured.

At the same time, Yang Jingyu's troops on the northern front concentrated more than 10,000 people to raid Yanji, and a brigade of Japanese troops left here was completely annihilated, and when the main force of the 19th Division arrived, only the corpses of Japanese soldiers were left in the whole Yanji.

In addition to large-scale battles, there are also increasingly fierce small-scale hunting, the Kwantung Army really can't find any other words to describe it, although this makes them feel very suffocated, in the vast primeval forest, they are like a herd of poor elk, always on the lookout for bullets from somewhere, and there are seemingly endless traps under their feet, and even the situation of sleeping at night without a head happens from time to time, the morale of the heroic Imperial soldiers is extremely low, and the war-weariness spreads like a plague, but also, it's been almost half a year, Who can stand this nightmarish horror of life?

The erosion of the situation in Changbai Mountain forced Ueda Kenkichi to send the newly arrived Fourth Division, but in this way, the plan to strengthen the pressure on the Great Wall line had to be suspended, he suspended here, Yang Feng's allies would not let him have such a good time, who didn't know that this was a good opportunity to brush up his presence in front of Yang Feng?

Without any warning, the four armies on the Great Wall line held large-scale exercises at the same time, and in this exercise, the security division was dispatched for the first time, and it was strengthened into the various armies in the form of firepower, and the first brigade even carried out street fighting exercises with a brigade of Yu Xuezhong's department in Tianjin, and the Hawk fighter formation of the air force flew over the Haiguang Temple, and even simulated a ground attack.

In the name of pursuing bandits, Zhao Dengyu's 29th Army crossed the border into Eastern Inner Mongolia, and flaunted its might in the Zhaowuda League, and the artillery shells of Sun Dianying's exercise all fell into the Japanese defense area.

The Japanese are not worried about the situation on the Great Wall line, they know very well that this is not biting, but they have to be careful with the two Chahars, the two sides have just ceased war for less than half a year, and it is not impossible for the war to rekindle, but now Tang Juwu alone has already made them tired of coping, how can they still be in the mood to start a war with Chahar again, as a result, the Kwantung Army is rarely honest, let the two of them toss.
