"Pass my order, and all warships will be replaced with anti-personnel ammunition."

"Attack the target Tokyo, prepare to shoot."

The Third Fleet, lined up in Tokyo Bay, had all its guns aimed at Tokyo, and each gun was raised at an angle of nearly 20 degrees, which was enough to throw shells at various parts of Tokyo.

The three battleships were all aimed at the area of the Emperor's Imperial Palace.

As the shelling order was given, the deafening sound of artillery resounded throughout Tokyo Bay.

Whistling cannonballs fell towards the city that was about to wake up.

The Emperor's Imperial Palace, cabinet members, and Emperor Meiji are still discussing the timing of the Yokosuka attack.

The moment the main cannon roared on the sea, everyone reacted, and immediately interrupted the Imperial Council, and Emperor Meiji evacuated towards the safe house of the Imperial Palace under the protection of a large number of guards.

The rest of the cabinet followed.

The whistling cannonballs made everyone's scalps tingle, and as everyone approached the entrance to the underground staircase, a violent explosion resounded through the Emperor's palace.

All the glass of the Emperor's palace shattered in an instant, and the shockwave of the power was amazing, uprooting many flowers and plants in the palace in an instant.

A huge explosion and shaking came, the whole earth was shaking, and Emperor Meiji was about to walk down the stairs, when at the moment of the explosion, a stumbling stumble, and the guards on the side had no time to hold it steady, and they had already rolled down the stairs.

The faces of the people changed drastically, and they didn't care about the shelling or anything, they all rushed down the stairs, and the stairs above the safe house of the Emperor's Imperial Palace were not low, and when they ran down the stairs, they found Emperor Meiji, covered in blood, lying on his back at the bottom of the stairs.

Katsura Taro's head jumped, and he hurriedly shouted, "Hurry up and gather the imperial doctor and carry the emperor into the safe house." ”

A group of guards were busy, and the rumbling explosion outside, the violent vibration caused the lights in the entire safe room to sway from side to side, and the light was also flickering on and off.

The terrible sound of the explosion and the tremor of the explosion, and the expressions on everyone's faces, became extremely ugly.

The terrible power of naval guns, even the carpet bombing of World War II, is slightly inferior.

A single shell descended, life was wiped out within a radius of hundreds of meters, houses toppled, and the terrible shock wave was enough to blow the wooden houses in Tokyo to pieces.

The fire caused by the explosion of anti-personnel ordnance brought about an even more terrible fire in the city of Tokyo.

The terrible firepower of a fleet was poured into the city of Tokyo, and all the rest of the place, except for the embassy districts of various countries, was under artillery fire.

In order to avoid diplomatic trouble, the Third Fleet specially avoided the embassy area in Tokyo, and in order to ensure that the embassy area was not accidentally damaged, the artillery fire was kept as far away from the nearby area as possible.

At this time, it was three or four o'clock in the morning, and the embassy personnel of various countries in the embassy area were awakened by the explosion.

The American ambassador, William, who didn't even have time to put on his clothes, rushed to the window, opened the curtains, and saw a crazy explosion in the distance, and the flames rolled high were engulfing the Japanese Imperial Palace.

This picture was imprinted in William's mind very clearly, and waves of air even spread to the embassy area, rolling up a large amount of gunsmoke, dust, and heat, and rushing to his face.

The door to the room was opened, and William commanded without looking back: "Prepare to go to the British Embassy immediately." ”

The guard, who had just come in, turned around and went out, but as soon as William walked out of the room in full dress, he saw the British ambassador to Japan hurrying in.

Compared with William, who was still in the mood to wear clothes, the British ambassador Wilmington did not look the slightest gentlemanly at the moment.

There are no tuxedos, no politeness and civility, only a coat that is haphazardly put on the body.

"Incompetent Japanese monkeys, with such support from the British Empire, will actually be beaten to Tokyo, what an incompetent bastard." As soon as Wilmington saw William, he couldn't help but curse angrily.

Britain and Japan are allied, Japan is now beaten to Tokyo, and Wilmington has no heart to maintain a gentlemanly demeanor now.

When he hurried to the U.S. Embassy, Wilmington had already thought that the Japanese wing must be finished, otherwise no one would attack Tokyo at all.

Outside, the deafening sound of explosions was incessant, explosions and fires, shock waves, and countless screams, like a post-apocalyptic vision.

"Mr. Wilmington, maybe it's not as simple as you think." William knew very well the purpose of Wilmington's coming, but he had a strong intuition in his heart, the shelling of Tokyo, I am afraid that it has nothing to do with the Russian Navy.

Because even if the Russian Navy defeats the Japanese Combined Fleet, the most important thing to do is to go to Vladivostok, not abandon Vladivostok to attack Tokyo.

Otherwise, the Russian Second Pacific Fleet, even if it defeats the Japanese Combined Fleet, will be homeless.

"It's definitely not that simple, stupid Japanese, all of them deserve to die." Hearing this, Wilmington scolded angrily again.

When William heard this, he shook his head and didn't say anything, although he thought of Fan Yize for the first time at the moment, but it's hard to say now, intuition can't explain anything.

And this is what William is most worried about, if Fan Yize really directly intervenes in the Russo-Japanese War, where should the United States stand, and what decision will the British make?

The ambassadors of the countries in the embassy area are not at peace, but for the people of Tokyo as a whole, it is no longer possible to describe the lack of peace of mind.

The whole of Tokyo has been plunged into a sea of fire, and dense explosions are still raging all over Tokyo.

Outside Tokyo Bay, not only the Third Fleet, but also the Odaiba batteries participated in the bombardment of Tokyo.

The 1st Brigade of the Guards Division was not stationed in Tokyo, and in response to the Russo-Japanese War, the 2nd Brigade and the 3rd Cavalry Brigade of the Guards Division, as well as the Field Heavy Artillery Brigade, were all transferred to Korea.

Tokyo was shelled, and after the 1st Guards Brigade reacted, it immediately headed in the direction of Odaiba.

And at this moment in Tokyo, fires and explosions are spreading and sounding in every corner of the city, and those who are lucky enough to escape are all with palpitations on their faces.

Tokyo, which was covered in artillery fire, no one could get close, and from the port of Tokyo to the Chiyoda area, the shells did not have long eyes, and they flew everywhere, and the flames and flames of the explosion burned the entire sky red.

Smoke billowed and debris flew everywhere, the pungent smell of gunpowder smoke, cries and screams, everywhere.

Fortunately, Tokyo was not very densely populated at this time, and the outside of the city was still full of farmland.

The center of the attack was the busiest area of Tokyo, home to most of Japan's elite.
