In the midst of all the disturbances, the time came three days later.
During these three days, Zhu Bancheng called a person who could not live in peace, and almost every day, there were one or two imperial envoys who were not afraid of death to break into the palace, and when they saw the Son of Heaven, they shouted in the palace that they should not fight in vain, and that the war would lead to chaos in the country.
At the same time, Tong Lun, Xia Wang, Zhao Hao, Cheng Zhong, Xiang Sheng, Cai Lishi and Huang Qian, who were eunuchs, would also see one or two people dressed as the Chinese Federation to give them gifts during the third watch in the middle of the night, and then take the opportunity to explore the causes of the Chinese Federation.
Of course, in addition to the unrest in the forbidden city, the land of the Chinese Federation was also full of smoke, and when the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Britannia was consulting with the envoys of the Chinese Federation, the insurrectionary activities and terrorist attacks of different kinds began to appear in the small countries in the southeast of the Chinese Federation, including Burma, Cambodia, Vietnam, Laos, and the Philippines.
And what is even more infuriating is that the governors of border provinces in the southwest region such as Yunnan Province and Gansu Province close to Southeast Asian countries also began to rebel, shouting the slogans of saving Sheji, Qing Junfang, all eunuchs, and returning the government and the opposition to Qingming.
In this way, the people at the bottom who were originally struggling to make a living because of the study of Marx and the practice of communism and proletarianism were even more discouraged, and the public order in the territory of the Chinese Federation was chaotic.
"Hmph, let them make trouble for a while for the time being, and when we take Japan back into the country, we will deal with them." In the command room of maritime operations against Japan. Ito-Nari, who had read all the information he had gathered over the past three days, casually threw it on the table in front of him and said with a sneer.
"Xingke, let's give combat orders." Then. Itocheng turned his head to look at Li Xingke, who was dressed in military uniform, and said.
"Yes." Li Xingke replied in a deep voice.
Then he walked to the main seat that Ito Cheng got out of the way, and swept over several generals of different ages and several eunuchs in the command room one by one with a calm face, and ordered in a deep voice, "General Liu!" ”
"The subordinates are here!" The words fell, and one was dressed in a military attache uniform. The burly middle-aged man, who looked to be only in his thirties, clasped his fists and saluted.
"Ten minutes after the battle began, you led a large group of steel skeleton troops from here to climb 6. Converge with the [Red Army] that will meet you, and follow the underground pipeline system left over from old Japan to attack the Britannian army left here. Li Xingke said as he gestured on the Japanese military map in front of him.
"Yes." General Liu commanded.
"General Wang." Then Li Xingke shouted again.
"The subordinates are here." A young officer, who looked young, not even thirty years old, responded with a fist.
"Immediately after the start of the battle, you led your troops and horses to the northeast and marched from the northeast of the main island of Japan. Pin down the Britannian Army's troops here. Li Xingke still pointed to a place close to Hokkaido, but within the boundaries of the main island, on the military map.
"Yes." General Wang commanded,
"General Zhao." Li Xingke continued to name him.
"The subordinates are here." A slightly chubby man, probably in his forties or fifties, with a smile that looked like a profiteer on his face, answered with a fist.
"After the start of the operation. You command the fleet to concentrate firepower and cover the Okinawa base with artillery fire. Li Xingke looked at General Zhao and ordered.
"Yes." General Zhao replied.
"The rest of the people will join me in attacking Kyoto head-on!" Li Xingke said again.
"Yes." The words fell, and the remaining generals who had not received the task responded with their fists in unison.
"Now let's take a moment." Li Xingke, who arranged the arrangement, raised his wrist, looked at the time displayed on the dial and said, "The time is 8:45 in the morning. ”
"Half an hour later, at 9:15 a.m., the war against Japan officially began." Then Li Xingke put down his wrist, looked at the people in front of him who were also right, and put their wrists down, and said with a stern face.
"There is a Son of Heaven accompanying you in this battle, I don't need to say much about what this means, I think everyone should understand! So I wish you all good luck! Li Xingke said at the end.
"Brush!" The generals present all bowed to Li Xingke and turned around and left the combat command room.
"It's a pity that Veretta's body hasn't adjusted yet, otherwise it could have given you some more help." Itocheng looked at Li Xingke, who was staring at the military map with a contemplative face, and sighed lightly.
"It doesn't matter, with the assistance of Karene and Karin, this frontal battle will definitely not be lost to the Britannian Army or the Guards of Cornelia, the only thing I am worried about now is whether the so-called [Red Army] combat strength of the Japanese side can complete our combat objectives, contain a part of the Britannian army, and allow us to complete the battle plan of approaching Tokyo smoothly." Hearing this, Li Xingke looked up at Ito Cheng and said with a slight frown.
"The battle is about time, place, and people, although it is not clear who and how, but the location must be on the side of the [Red Army], so even if they are a ragtag force composed of a group of rabble, under the leadership of the three Four Holy Swords, they can also wield a certain effect, contain part of the Britannian army, and buy a certain amount of time for your breakthrough." Ito Nari smiled lightly.
"What's more, in addition to the [Red Army], I also have a force staying near the East Longitude Bay, and if your battle plan doesn't go well, I don't mind exposing it in advance to deter Xiaoxiao." Then Itonari glanced at the location of Tokyo Bay on the Japanese military map laid out on the table, and chuckled.
"Yes...... Li Xingke also turned his gaze to Tokyo Bay when he heard this, and said softly, "I hope so."
"As long as we can return Japan to our territory in the shortest possible time, and show a strong enough military force, then those small Southeast Asian countries that are now happy will inevitably be reined in, and then we will return to the Central Plains with a victorious army to destroy those few rebels, and then we can not only restore the stability of the Federation and consolidate the hearts of the people, increase the prestige of the Son of Heaven, but also further deter Xiaoxiao. Let them put away their thoughts for a moment. Seeing that Li Xingke was still a little browbrowed, Ito Nari continued.
"I'm afraid that Britannia won't give us time to reorganize the country and gather troops again." Li Xingke shook his head slightly and sighed.
"It doesn't matter, if we're a little too strong. I'm going to come up with something new to balance the forces of both sides. It's just that that thing hurts you a lot. Regarding Li Xingke's worries, Ito Cheng didn't take it too seriously, and said with an indifferent face.
"Are you going to use that thing?" Lakshata, who was holding one hand across his chest and leaning his back against the wall of the command room, quietly smoking a cigarette stick, tilted his head to look at Ito-nari and guessed.
"Not bad." Seeing that Lakshata had some guesses, Ito Nari turned his head to look at her. He nodded with a smile on his face.
"You guy, you really dare to do anything." Laxarta said with a slightly emotional expression.
Ito Nari smiled slightly and did not speak.
"What are you talking about?" Kaguraya, who was on the side, looked at Ito Nari and Lakshata with some curiosity and asked.
"You'll find out later." Itonari reached out and gently rubbed Kaguraya's head and smiled.
"Stingy." Kaguraya, who saw Ito coaxing a child, shook his head. Pouted and whispered. Then he looked at Ito Cheng and said, "I'll go with Lihua." ”
After speaking, he didn't wait for Ito Cheng to speak, turned around and ran out of the command room, and ran towards the room where Jiang Lihua was.
After that, Li Xingke, Ito-sei, and Lakshata didn't speak, and they quietly survived the fifteen minutes before the official start of the battle.
At the moment when the time reached 9:15, a rapid alarm sounded over the entire fleet of the Chinese Federation, and then all the military personnel who heard the siren were shocked. Devote your full attention to your work, ready to deal with the big battle that is about to begin.
"Report to the marshal, our fleet has officially sailed into the Sea of Japan, and it is currently the current Britannian army." Shortly after the alarm sounded, a messenger-like soldier ran into the command room. He saluted and reported to Li Xingke.
"Keep watching." Li Xing replied without raising his head.
"Yes." The messenger agreed, turned and ran out of the command room, continuing to look at the sea.
"Looks like the Valkyries of Britannia are preparing to go to war with us along the coastline." Ito-nari, who was looking out at the sea from the window of the command room, said softly.
"If the reason for not sending the fleet is because Cornelia wants to fight a positional war with us, then it is a bit too much to say that she will not send an aerial bombardment force, what the hell is she thinking?" Li Xingke's brows were furrowed, as if asking, and as if talking to himself.
"It is estimated that there are not many air forces on Japanese territory, and in order to prevent our multi-front attack, she also needs air forces for transportation, so there is no way to send the air force out to bomb." Ito, who retracted his gaze, guessed.
"You mean, she's going to use the Air Force as a transport force to meet our multi-front attack?" Li Xingke looked up at Ito Cheng and said.
"Who knows, maybe it is, maybe it doesn't, it all depends on Cornelia's mind." Ito Nari shrugged.
In this way, the silence in the command room fell again, and it was not until more than twenty minutes later that it was broken by the sound of the messenger's report.
"Report to the marshal, our troops are approaching the coastline of Japan and will be within range of naval guns in five minutes."
"I see." Li Xingke nodded in response.
The messenger who got the response didn't stay long, and turned around again and ran out of the command room, going about his own thing.
Five minutes is not much, only 300 seconds, and it is almost a flash for those who are devoted to things. As soon as the five-minute time passed, a series of violent roars instantly sounded on the sea outside the command room, and one after another thick fires accompanied by shells bombarded the Japanese coastline not far away.
"Boom, boom, boom, boom......" In an instant, a series of explosions and dazzling fires appeared one after another on the coastline that was already visible to the naked eye.
"Someone." Li Xingke, who heard the sound of artillery fire, was shocked, looked up at the door of the command room and shouted loudly.
"Marshal." As soon as the words fell, a messenger walked quickly into the command room, clasped his fists and saluted.
"You go and tell General Sù Zhao to keep the artillery fire covered and assist our army's steel skull troops to board 6." Li Xingke quickly ordered.
"Yes." The messenger agreed, turned and ran out of the command room to inform the fleet commander in the upper cabin, Admiral Zhao.
"Inform the others, follow the plan, and start the battle." Then Li Xingke turned his head to look at the several information controllers sitting on the side and ordered.
With the issuance of Li Xingke's battle order, dozens of submarines or coffin boxes of 6 ships emerged from the fleet group, and according to the previously agreed plan, they rushed to the northeast of the Japanese main island, Tottori in Japan, and the coastline directly in front of the fleet.
The first to arrive at the designated place was the 6 ships that went straight to the coastline, and when it was less than a few meters away from the coastline, the black boxes like coffins suddenly opened on both sides, and more than 30 planes of the Moon Series and Kalian's [Red Lotus Shengtian Eight Extremes] and Zhou Xianglin's [Feihuang] rushed up to 6 places under the cover of more than 100 steel skull series fuselages and artillery fire, and attacked the Britannian army that was almost overwhelmed by artillery fire here.
Let's not mention that the Britannian side, which was already suppressed by artillery fire, was a little unable to raise its head, making the team scattered and organized into an effective combat team, let's just say that the crushing performance of the [Red Lotus Shengtian Eight Extremes], [Flying Emperor] and the more than 30 [Under the Moon] series airframes can also completely blow up this batch of Britannian troops on the frontal battlefield, so it didn't take much time to be submerged by the Steel Skull Brigade under the impact of the [Red Lotus Shengtian Eight Extremes] piloted by Kalian, and lost the defense of this coastline.
"Report to the marshal, Captain Karen reports that the coastline has been robbed and can be officially boarded 6." The next moment when the coast was taken, a female information controller in the command room immediately turned her head to look at Li Xingke and reported.
"Okay." Li Xingke was in high spirits for a while when he heard this, and said loudly, "Immediately notify the whole ship and carry out the official boarding of 6!" At the same time, the commander of the fleet, General Zhao, was told that after the 6th of our army, he would be asked to bomb along the Japanese coastline in turns. ”
"Yes." The information controller immediately agreed.
"The Son of Heaven will entrust you." Li Xingke turned his head to look at Ito Nari beside him and said.
"Don't worry, the Son of Heaven is my fiancée, and I won't let her have an accident." Ito Nari said with a serious nod.
Li Xingke glanced at Ito Cheng quietly, didn't say anything, turned around and strode out of the command room, went to Gnaku on the battleship, sat on his own early body [Shenhu], and left from the battleship with the steel skeleton troops who were ready to board the 6, and rushed to the coastline that had been taken by his own army on the 6th ship.
