Chapter 674: The Smoke Clears
How many times did Eston and Zhang Tinglan fight, and when he saw his expression, he felt bad, and when the two soldiers carried the things over, he looked confused.
"What the hell is this, and what does it mean for me to look at this?"
Zhang Tinglan smiled slightly: "This is the most advanced sonar equipment on Shijie, which can detect the traces of submarines within a range of several kilometers. It is said that there are not many countries that can produce this thing, Mr. Minister, do you want to know where we got it from? ”
As soon as Eston heard this, his eyes suddenly widened, and he suddenly shouted in his heart that it was not good, Britain provided help to Japan, so that the Japanese could deal with the naval base of the Feng army, this kind of thing Eston was clear, but what was given, Eston was not clear, as soon as he saw the sonar in front of him, his eyes showed great horror.
Damn Japan, stupid pigs, actually let Fengjun catch the handle, it's stupid, stupid!
I couldn't stop scolding the Japanese in my heart, but on the surface, Eston was still extremely calm, and said with a smile: "Could it be that China has broken through the jishu problem and produced this shijie advanced equipment, I want to congratulate you?" ”
Zhang Tinglan smiled slightly: "Mr. Minister, we can't produce it yet, but we will have it soon, because after getting this thing, I will immediately ask the military factory to study if it is imitated." You also know that although we have submarines, but in the anti-submarine jishu, there are still big shortcomings, if we can successfully imitate Shijie's advanced sonar, we have taken a big step forward at once. ”
can say that the cottage is so straightforward, and it is still against the parties, I am afraid that only Zhang Tinglan is the only one Eston s face suddenly became exciting, his face changed a few times, but he didn't know what to say.
"Open the skylight and say something bright. We captured a wounded warship, on which most of the British equipment was found, and although the English markings were deliberately removed, a little remnant could still be found. We have reason to believe that the British, having secretly undermined neutrality, supplied the Japanese with anti-submarine ships. ”
"Nope!" Eston immediately retorted, joking, how can Britain admit such a slap in the face.
"The British Empire would never do such a thing, I think the tour must have been misunderstood, and Japan also has a strong jishu level. Moreover, between Britain and Japan, there are indeed some jishu exchanges, maybe Japan purchased some British parts, in any case, the British government's neutral position will not change anything! ”
"Good. I would also like to believe the position of the British, the Feng army has already sent two groups of bombers to Shandong. We will bomb the Nagato docked in the harbor. This warship, which has committed many crimes, must be sent to the bottom of the sea. ”
"No way!"
Eston was frightened again, he came to Zhang Tinglan, just to keep the Nagato, after all, the Japanese had promised benefits that the British could not refuse. Who knew that Zhang Tinglan was actually ready to blow up the long gate, how could he agree.
"Weihaiwei is under the rule of the imperial government. If the Empire allowed you to bomb the Nagato, you would be undermining the position of neutrality. ”
"Neutral?" Zhang Tinglan sneered and said: "From the moment you took in the Nagato, there was no neutrality for a long time, and the Japanese warships were able to enter. Our fighter planes can also enter, and if Britain insists on doing something of double standards, I am afraid that it will not be beneficial to Britain in the international arena. ”
Listening to Zhang Tinglan's words, Aiston's brain also showed a layer of delicate beads of sweat, it is true that Britain at this time fell into unprecedented passivity, in the final analysis, it was the Japanese who were clever and did not destroy Huludao, but hit their heads and bleed, and left the evidence in the hands of China, which is terrible.
"Your Excellency, the large-scale bombing will inevitably hurt the innocent, I hope you can delay for twenty-four hours and leave it for the other ships to evacuate Weihaiwei."
"The other ships are evacuated, and the Nagato has slipped away, what if the Japanese fleet comes to the aid in one day?" Zhang Tinglan said: "Let's be honest, I have ordered the submarine to go to Weihaiwei to set up mines, seal the port, and the bombers will rush to Shandong immediately, and the Changmen will be in my hand, and it can be sunk at any time!" ”
As soon as he heard this, the color on Aiston's face also changed completely, and he couldn't help but ask: "Your Excellency, the Nagato has an unparalleled status in Japan, once it is sunk, there will be no end between you and Japan, do you really want to see the peace in the Far East completely destroyed?" ”
"Peace is not sought, otherwise you Britain would not have fought with Germany for more than four years, if Japan does not have the sincerity of peace talks and wants to continue to use force to bully us, then it will only fight to the death."
Zhang Tinglan's tone was very hard, but he didn't say it to death, so Aiston hurriedly asked: "If Japan can show sincerity in negotiations, is there still a chance to redeem it?" ”
Zhang Tinglan said with a smile: "It is true that I can let go of the Nagato, but on the issue of North Korea and the University of Tourism, Japan must make substantial concessions, and I hope that China and Britain will also have consultations to eliminate misunderstandings." ”
Eston also knew that the handle was in Zhang Tinglan's hand, and now was not the time to refuse, so he nodded without hesitation.
"I'm going to get in touch right away, Your Excellency, I hope you can put peace first!"
……
On the vast sea, a merchant ship was exploding and catching fire, and a large amount of fuel oil loaded on it was all ignited, and the whole ship was like a huge lighthouse, constantly burning on the sea.
Not far away, there is a periscope floating on the water, and the soldiers under the water are admiring the thick flames through the periscope, many sailors are struggling back and forth in the fire, they are covered with flames, they can only jump into the seawater, desperate struggle, and some are directly burned to death on the ship, extremely miserable.
It was just an ordinary scene at sea, from the Tsushima Strait in North Korea, even to the Japanese, and all the way south to Okinawa and even the Taiwan Strait. Originally, these waters were under the control of the Japanese, and merchant ships came and went, bringing supplies from the colonies back to Japan to supply the barren island nation.
However, since their sneak attack on Huludao, the submarines of the Feng army have launched a frenzied revenge against the Japanese merchant ships, not only Japanese ships, but even other ships that have been determined to transport supplies to Japan have also been attacked, this is the so-called unlimited submarine warfare, regardless of nationality, and they cannot run away if they encounter it.
Originally, the West could have jumped out of the wanton accusations, but the British violated the principle of neutrality and let the Feng army catch the death certificate, and they did not dare to tear their faces, after all, there was a war of words, and they were also at the loss, so the British could only desperately ask the ships not to send supplies to Japan.
On the one hand, the Feng army used unlimited submarine warfare to constantly bleed the Japanese, and on the other hand, they blocked the Nagato in Weihaiwei and became a hostage in the hands of the Feng army. All at once, the Japanese were put at the most disadvantage, and they also had to bow their heads at the negotiating table and begin to make large concessions.
"Captain, it's not interesting to be in the Tsushima Strait alone, why don't you go to Tokyo Bay, I heard that it is the heart of the Japanese, and there are the most ships coming and going, and if you can sink a few ships, even their emperor will not be able to sleep."
When Chen Shaokuan heard this, he was also very moved, they sank a total of three merchant ships in five days at sea, and the results were not brilliant, but they were still unwilling.
However, he still waved his hand and gave up the tempting thought: "The command has given an order, and the peace talks with the Japanese are about to be reached, and we should go back." ”
"What are you talking about, just keep fighting with the Japanese, if these little devils don't surrender, we won't let them go!"
"Yes, we haven't had enough of it, and if we go back, we don't know when we'll have another chance." The second mate also complained.
Chen Shaokuan's face sank: "Soldiers take obedience as their duty, and the command has an order, so we must abide by it." But I think sooner or later there will be a chance, and there will be a temporary truce between us and the Japanese, and when both sides are ready, there will be a life-and-death battle sooner or later. As long as you practice your skills well, you won't have to worry about not having time to show your talents. ”
Just when the Fengjun submarines were returning one after another, and the peace talks between China and Japan were also in Zuihou, the Japanese agreed to unconditionally return the South Manchurian Railway and the Luda area, and the Fengjun also made a special request that they not be allowed to blow up the factory facilities of Luda.
The Feng army bombed North Korea all over again, and if Japan followed suit and blew up the brigade, Zhang Tinglan would definitely cry. Of course, this is not that Feng Jun is unreasonable, but that the Japanese refused to pay compensation, and Feng Jun had to turn to the factory facilities of Luda to pay compensation.
In World War I, the Japanese not only repaid the huge loans they once had, but also became creditor countries to borrow billions of yen, but after intervening in the war with Russia and this contest with the Feng army, they once again became debtor countries, although the debt was less than 200 million yuan, but it also marked the end of Japan's good days after the war.
As an island country with few resources, it is very difficult for Japan to pay off its debts once they are saddled, which is equivalent to a race with the Feng army, and they are shackled on their backs, and if they want to surpass China in speed, they are bound to reach the sky.
In addition, on the Korean side, China initially proposed to divide China and Japan with the Line of Actual Control as the boundary, but the result was resolutely opposed by the Japanese side, if it agreed to this condition, it would be equivalent to giving half of Korea to the Feng army, and it was the most resource-rich half of Korea, how could the Japanese agree, even the British did not agree.
In fact, the Bong army did not want to take so much, and after a fierce quarrel, the Japanese reluctantly agreed to hand over the area north of Cheongjin and North Hamgyong Province to the Bong army, and Sinuiju was turned into a free city, so China and Japan could trade freely.
After this condition was met, Zhang Tinglan was also overjoyed, because among the cut land, there is the largest open-pit iron mine in Asia - Maoshan Iron Mine!
The reserves of three billion tons are simply a big pie falling from the sky, which makes Zhang Tinglan a little dizzy! (To be continued......)
