"Your Majesty, the whole of Tokyo is under the control of the army, the Guards Division and the First Division are all controlled by Yama Prefecture Aritomo's henchmen, and it is simply impossible to take Yama Prefecture Aritomo and Katsura Taro!" Minister of the Interior Saigo said. Lieutenant General Hasegawa Yoshimichi, commander of the Guards Division, and Lieutenant General Kawamura Keiaki, commander of the 1st Division, were both promoted by Aritomo Yamaprefecture and were loyal to Aritomo Yamaprefecture.

"What about the people in the navy? Can it make a difference when it matters most? "Emperor Meiji is not dead yet.

"Your Majesty, there are only a few thousand sailors left in the navy, although they are in Yokosuka, they are blocked by the First Division, and they can't break through the First Division to Tokyo at all." Minister of the Interior Saigo said.

"There's always a way! You can discuss with the public hope of Xiyuan Temple and see if there is any other way. In short, we must not let Japan go to ruin! Emperor Meiji said with some disappointment.

"Yes, Your Majesty, Chen will do his best!" Saigo said from the road. A name flashed through his mind. Count Masaki Terauchi is currently the brigade commander of the 3rd Brigade of the Army, with the rank of major general, but the 3rd Brigade is no longer stationed in Tokyo. If Masashi Terauchi can be transferred to Tokyo, it may be useful.

Of course, now that the army is in complete control of Japan, it will be very difficult for Emperor Meiji and others to regain power. They can only wait for the opportunity slowly, if they are in a hurry and are stimulated to the county of Youpeng, it will cause very big trouble.

Time passed slowly, and diplomats from Britain, France, the United States, and Russia were on their way to China. Large-scale fighting has stopped, especially in the South Seas. The armies of Britain and France. Resistance has ceased completely. British Burma, Straits Settlements. France's Indochina colonies were all under Chinese control. On the northern Siberian battlefield, the First Army and the Fourth Army were advancing westward from Irkutsk, successively eliminating more than 100,000 Russian troops between Omsk and Irkutsk. And the Russian army is also desperately transporting troops to the Omsk region, trying to resist the attack of the squadron here.

The most eye-catching is probably the squadron that set out from Hawaii and prepared to launch an attack on the continental United States. After the news got out, Americans living on the West Coast. They all migrated to the east with their families. No one thought that the U.S. Army would be able to withstand the squadron's attack and fled the West Coast, which was about to be enveloped in war. This has caused great turmoil in American society.

The US Army, in the West Coast region, has already concentrated hundreds of thousands of people. It's just that the coastline is too long, and they can't be sure where the squadron will choose to land. This makes the US Army have a big loophole in the allocation of troops. After all, hundreds of thousands of people seem like a lot, but sprinkled on one or two thousand kilometers of coastline, it's nothing.

The remaining warships of the West Coast Fleet of the US Navy. I also had to set off from the San Diego Military Port to look for the traces of the squadron. But. These entwined light cruisers and destroyers were a dead end under the firepower of the heavy cruisers escorted by the Chinese Navy's Pacific Fleet. Soon these US Navy warships were wiped out, and the landing location of the squadron was still a mystery for the United States. This forced the US Army to maintain the highest alert.

At 6 p.m. on July 6, Wang Yuze came to the base camp. At this moment, the base camp is very busy, and one by one the staff officers are busy inside, constantly going in and out. In the war room is a map of the West Coast of the United States. In the middle of the war room is a huge sand table. Xiong Wu, chief of the General Staff, Zhang Cheng, minister of the Navy, and Jiang Xingguo, minister of national defense, also gathered at the base camp.

"See Your Majesty!" After Wang Yuze arrived, everyone saluted Wang Yuze.

"No need to be polite. Where did the fleet go? Wang Yuze asked directly. Landing operations are a very complicated project. In particular, the landing operation across the entire Pacific Ocean against the United States, which is thousands of miles away, has made Wang Yuze attach great importance to it.

"Your Majesty, the fleet is sailing towards the west coast of the United States. However, it is expected that by 8 o'clock this evening, a landing operation can be carried out against the United States! Chief of the General Staff Xiong Wu replied.

"Where is the landing point chosen?" Wang Yuze asked. The current West Coast of the United States is heavily armed. In particular, San Diego, Los Angeles and San Francisco have become key areas for the US Army. These important cities have well-developed port facilities, and once they are forcibly occupied by the squadron, a large number of follow-up troops will be able to land in a steady stream.

"The landing site was temporarily chosen in Santa Barbara, north of Los Angeles. Where there is a small port for our transport ships to dock. Moreover, there were not many defenders, only one regiment,

Less than 2,000 people. If you land here, the Marines will be able to easily seize this place and establish a solid position! Chief of the General Staff Xiong Wu said.

Wang Yuze found the small city on the map and frowned. The town is about 140 kilometers away, more than 400 kilometers from San Francisco and only 300 kilometers from San Diego, which is almost in the middle. It's not bad in terms of geography. However, the port facilities were old, and Wang Yuze was worried that they would not be able to support the huge landing operation. You must know that in this landing, the squadron will put in two army groups and two marines, almost 400,000 troops. Such a small city simply cannot guarantee the rapid loading and unloading of landing troops and supplies.

"Your Majesty, Santa Barbara is just the first landing site. Once our troops land here, a large number of American ** teams will be attracted over. How could it be that the American team from Los Angeles would be attracted to Santa Barbara. This will give us a great opportunity to create a zào. When the time comes, we will take the opportunity to launch another landing operation in Los Angeles and take this important city on the west coast of the United States in one fell swoop! Xiong Wu saw Wang Yuze's doubts and took the initiative to explain. After all, as the chief of the General Staff, the landing plan was drawn up by so many staff officers of the General Staff, and they must have already considered the issues that Wang Yuze was worried about.

"That's good! However, will there be enough troops in a short period of time? Wang Yuze asked. It still takes more than a month for a transport ship to travel from the east coast of China to the west coast of the United States, and even if it leaves from Hawaii, it will take about 10 days, which has caused great trouble to the landing operation. This is also an important reason why the squadron cannot land in the United States on a large scale.

"Your Majesty, the vanguard of the Seventh Army has arrived in Hawaii. With the help of the Navy, it is not at all a problem to create a forward position on the west coast of the United States. Although the U.S. Army has expanded dramatically to more than a million people, their lack of heavy weapons will not put much pressure on us! Xiong Wu, chief of the General Staff, said confidently. Those recruits who have just entered the army will definitely be the opponents of the squadron.

"That's good! This time I landed in the United States to fight, and I did not expect the army to be able to destroy the United States in one go. After all, the current national strength is not enough to support us to cross the ocean and launch a war of annihilation against the United States. I hope that the military will be able to eliminate as much as possible the living force of the US Army, show our prestige, and make the Americans fear us. At the same time, in this landing operation, we will accumulate as much experience as possible. In order to facilitate future battles! Wang Yuze said. This time the landing operation against the United States was largely aimed at supporting diplomatic negotiations and forcing the United States to agree to the terms of the armistice proposed by China. So that China can cut a piece of fat off the United States. While weakening the United States, strengthen China and create a chance for the next complete defeat of the United States.

"Yes, Your Majesty!" Xiong Wu replied. He also knows how powerful it is, and in short, this landing operation can only succeed and cannot fail, otherwise, China's results in this war will be greatly reduced.

In the vast eastern Pacific Ocean, a huge fleet of ships is sailing eastward. In the eastern Pacific, it's still dark. The landing operation against the United States was launched at 8 p.m. Beijing time on July 6, and at 7 a.m. Washington time on July 6.

Around the flotilla, warships of the Navy's Pacific Fleet were cruising. There will not be a single American ship within a hundred kilometers of the fleet. The whereabouts of the landing fleet have remained secret until now. The Americans did not know at all that the landing fleet of the Chinese Navy was about to arrive on the west coast of the United States, and they did not know that the landing site chosen by the squadron was in Santa Barbara.

"How long will it take to get to the West Coast of the United States?" On the bridge of the battleship 'Qinghai', Admiral Li Dingxin, commander of the Pacific Fleet, asked. This time, the landing operation was a matter of great importance, and he personally commanded the fleet to provide support for the landing force.

"Commander, in about an hour, we will be able to reach the waters off Santa Barbara through the Guò Channel Islands. After that, the 3rd Marine Brigade will prepare for the landing, while the fleet begins shelling Santa Barbara to clear the way for the landing of the Marines! Vice Admiral Gao Yihai, Chief of Staff of the Fleet, replied.

"Along the way, our whereabouts weren't revealed, were they?" Admiral Li Dingxin asked with some unease.

"Nope. According to a telegram from the base camp, the Americans did not strengthen the defense of Santa Barbara, where there was still only one regiment of defenders. There will be no problems with this landing. Rear Admiral Gao Yihai, Chief of Staff of the Fleet, said.
