PS: The second update is here! Ask for a subscription, ask for a monthly pass! Thank you to the book friends who wander in the night, the anarchic inaction, and the monthly pass of the emperor NO1!

"Your Majesty, the earth fleet will be ready to set off in three days. Four 'Tang-class' battleships, six 'Hanshin-class' fast battleships, four 'Han-class' battleships, twelve heavy cruisers, and supporting light cruisers and destroyers have all completed overhauls, and after they are assembled, they can go to the eastern Pacific region to fight the US Navy! Navy Minister Zhang Cheng said. The battle with the United States will be mainly carried out by the Turkish Fleet and the Pacific Fleet, and in between, the Indian Ocean Fleet will be tasked with protecting the shipping routes in the northern Indian Ocean, especially the oil passage between the Persian Gulf and China and Turkey. With the large-scale development of automobiles, armored forces, and the development of the navy, China's annual oil consumption has risen rapidly, and all oil is obtained from the Middle East. Once this route is cut off, the consequences will be unimaginable!

However, the only one that could pose a threat to this route was the British Navy. However, after the outbreak of the war in Europe, the British seemed unwilling to anger China, and they took the initiative to withdraw the capital ships deployed in India and South Africa to British soil. On the one hand, it was to concentrate its forces on dealing with Germany, and on the other hand, it did not fail to show goodwill to China.

"With the strength of the Turkish fleet, it is not difficult to defeat the American fleet. As long as there are no accidents, there is no problem in winning the US Navy. However, we have to take into account that this time the US Navy took the initiative to attack Santa Cruz Island and destroy this important naval base before we could react. It would be great if we could defeat or even crush our Pacific Fleet. Once our Turkish fleet arrives, the US Navy will most likely rewithdraw to the Atlantic Ocean or even blow up the Panama Canal. That's the case. If we want to defeat the US Navy, it will not be so easy. Detouring to Cape Horn in South America, there are too many variables. At the same time, it takes more time. The U.S. Navy is working at full speed to build the 'Pennsylvania-class' battleships, a total of six, and as long as they are commissioned, they will be able to deal with our 'Tang-class' battleships! Chief of the General Staff Cai Yun reminded the island.

"Even if the Americans' Pennsylvania-class battleships are commissioned, it will not change the outcome of the war, and when the time comes, our 'Emeishan-class' battleships will also be in service, and the carrier-based aircraft carried by the four 'Emeishan-class' battleships. Enough to send the entire fleet of the Americans into the sea! Navy Minister Zhang Cheng said. It is expected that the four 'Emeishan-class' battleships of the Chinese Navy will not be able to enter service until the middle of next year, and after sea trials and carrier-based aircraft are put on board, it is likely that they will not be able to form combat strength until the end of the year.

"Let the shipyard speed up the construction schedule. Strive for the 'Emeishan-class' aircraft carrier to form combat effectiveness as soon as possible! Wang Yuze said. Originally, it was expected that the war would break out in 1912 or 1913, in which case, the 'Emeishan-class' aircraft carrier would be able to catch up with the outbreak of war. But now, because of the deviation of the second Moroccan crisis, the war broke out ahead of schedule, which made it impossible for the killer weapon of the Chinese Navy to be used in the first place.

"Yes. Your Majesty, I'll rush to the shipyard! Navy Minister Zhang Cheng said.

"Your Majesty, the follow-up mobilization of the army will soon be completed, this time. We have only increased the strength of a hundred divisions. According to the estimates of the War Department, if we are to destroy the United States, we must devote at least 150 divisions to the United States. In addition, we have to use troops on other battlefields, and the current strength is still a little weak. The War Department hopes to be able to carry out a second mobilization. In a year, an army of a hundred more divisions will be formed! General Zhao Bo, Minister of War, said.

Wang Yuze hesitated. Now that the army has completed its mobilization, its total strength is close to the four million mark, and if another 100 divisions are added, it will be close to 6 million. Such a large army force is enough to support China's investment on all fronts.

"Yes! However, these newly formed units have to be trained to charge. Now our troops are not strained, and the newly recruited troops can train for more than half a year. Although the empire has a large population, I do not want to rely on the bloody sacrifice of my soldiers to win the final victory! Wang Yuze said. The previous mobilization has recruited a lot of retired soldiers in recent years. If you want to increase the army again, you will have to expand the scope of conscription. Many retired soldiers have been away from the army for too long, and their military skills are a little rusty, and training for a while is conducive to reducing casualties in war!

"Yes, Your Majesty!" Zhao Bo nodded. He also agrees with Wang Yuze's request.

"Ladies and gentlemen, from now on, the Empire will go all out to win this war. This war is very important for the empire, whether we can further expand the strength of the empire, and gain world hegemony after the victory of the war, depends on this war! Therefore, I hope you will do your best! Wang Yuze said sternly.

"Yes, Your Majesty, the ministers will do their best to win the final victory!" Everyone said loudly. Everyone has been looking forward to this day since the Kawanishi period, and now, this day seems to be very close.

On September 17, 1911, Beijing time, on the morning of this day, Emperor Wang Yuze will address the whole people at 9 o'clock on the Imperial Radio, informing all the people that China has been shamelessly attacked, and from now on, China will join the war and launch the strongest counterattack against the shameless sneak attackers.

Three years ago, the experts of the Imperial Academy of Sciences had already invented the radio. Immediately, under the orders of Wang Yuze, the Imperial Radio Station was established to broadcast to the whole people. The main content of the radio is imperial news, opera, and other programs. In the beginning, only a small number of people bought radios that cost tens of yuan. But with the further decline of Chengcheng, the price of radio has gradually decreased, and it has slowly entered the homes of ordinary people. And some teahouses and wine shops and other places must have a radio, otherwise it will not be enough.

Subsequently, some of the major policies and announcements of the imperial government were also transmitted to the whole population through the guò radio station, which undoubtedly ensured that the lowest citizens could be informed of the imperial policies in a timely manner, and reduced the number of people who were fooled by the magistrates. Emperor Wang Yuze also delivered a speech on the New Year, wishing all the people a happy Spring Festival. The vast majority of the people heard the emperor's voice for the first time, and when Wang Yuze spoke, everyone knelt respectfully on the ground and listened to the voice of the saint. After Wang Yuze's speech ended, everyone shouted long live the emperor.

From 8 o'clock in the morning, the radio repeatedly informed the emperor that he would address the whole people at 9 o'clock, which made the people very confused, not knowing what was going on. Many people who don't have a radio at home even gathered in the teahouse or wine shop early, waiting for Wang Yuze's speech!

"Third Master, what the hell is going on? Usually, except for the New Year's holiday, His Majesty has never made a speech on the radio! A middle-aged man in a robe asked. This is the eastern city of Beijing, at the foot of the Son of Heaven, and the political consciousness of Beijing people has always been the highest.

"It's not easy, it's been almost two months of fighting in Europe, and I heard that Germany is fighting with Britain and France, and hundreds of thousands of people have died. With the relationship between the Reich and Germany, the Reich would certainly have entered the war on the side of Germany. Perhaps, this time His Majesty made a speech, announcing the war to the whole people! Now that the world is in turmoil, it is impossible for the empire to be left alone. "The man known as the Third Master is an old man of about sixty years, who used to be an official of the Qing Dynasty, and after the establishment of the empire, he also worked in the imperial government, and now he is retired, but he has a high prestige in this area. He also enjoyed the feeling of being looked up to by everyone!

"We're going to fight again? It's not been peaceful for a few days, has it? "Someone lamented the island. Chinese have always liked to live a peaceful life, and they don't want to do anything else, as long as their small life can be lived safely and steadily, that is the best!

"What are you talking about, now that the countries of the world have already started fighting, of course the empire can't stay out of it. Think about it, which war was not won by the Empire? It was by winning these wars that the Empire had its current status in the world. Only then can the land robbed by the Rakshasa Ghost be recaptured, and only then can the entire South Seas be incorporated into the empire. Not to mention anything else, after the empire acquired the South Seas, the price of rice in the country dropped a lot, right? Everyone's life is better! The third master was full of displeasure.

"Yes, yes, yes! Third master, you're right, it's me who is blind! The man hurriedly subdued the soft island.

Soon, 9 o'clock arrived. At this moment, from the icefields province in the east, to the Caspian Sea in the west, to the north of Lake Baikal in the north, and to the Indonesian archipelago in the south, more than half of the people gathered under the radio, waiting for the speech of the emperor Wang Yuze!

As soon as the time reached nine o'clock, Wang Yuze's voice spread through the radio throughout the empire.

"Ladies and gentlemen, I am the Emperor Wang Yuze, and now, I want to announce one thing to you. The world war has begun, but the empire has never given up on the pursuit of peace and has been working hard. However, just last night, the Americans shamelessly declared war against us, and they sent a large number of warships to attack the imperial island of Guadeloupe. The defenders of the Empire are fighting a bloody battle with the Americans to defend the Empire's homeland. In view of this shameless behavior of the Americans, I officially declare that from now on, the Empire and the United States are at war until the Empire completely defeats the United States! ”
