The Yoshino!

The corners of Master Li's mouth were full of slaughter! The most hated name has finally appeared! This name made him feel angry and hated even more than Roosevelt's threat at the beginning!

In fact, as early as when he seized control of Oahu, Li Mo had already regarded the Yoshino as the number one threat to the Pacific Fleet, not because of its displacement of more than 4,000 tons, but because of its scalp-numbing high speed of 23 knots.

At the beginning of the construction of the Determination-class heavy cruisers, Li Mo's idea was to comprehensively suppress the cruisers of the Pacific countries, so the technical indicators were set relatively high, and the speed was also required to be 22 knots, but in fact, the British lied, and the final speed of the Determination class could only reach 21 knots after testing.

Of course, this can't be completely blamed on the British, 6,500 tons of full load displacement, twin 203 mm guns, in this year, in many countries can be regarded as the main ironclad ship, even the United States at this time there are few warships that can be compared to the determination class, although part of the armor weight has been abandoned, but it is indeed very difficult to rely on the triple expansion reciprocating steam engine to greatly increase the speed.

This means that if he starts a war with Yumoto, then there is no warship that can curb the speed of the Yoshino, and once he escapes, the impact will be huge, so Li Mo will be so concerned about it.

What's more, every Chinese who is familiar with the history of Jiawu will probably not forget to sink this warship Deng Shichang when he is dying, as long as he thinks of the sentence "My generation has been defending the country from the army and has long put life and death outside the degree. ", the blood of all Chinese will boil!

Sink Yoshino!

Li Mo gritted his teeth and spit out four words!

If you want to sink the Yoshino, you must first defeat the so-called combined fleet, at this time, the total tonnage of the standing fleet and the West Sea Fleet has reached more than 60,000 tons, plus the Yoshino, which has just returned to China, has 12 main combat ships, which is already a force to be reckoned with in the Pacific.

As a single nation-state, it is unrealistic to vainly occupy or eliminate it, unless a nuclear bomb is made to directly neutralize it, not to mention that according to the results of a secret calculation with Chen Ping before, if you want to attack the mainland, you need at least 200,000 army forces, which is not realistic at all for the current fledgling Pacific Army!

If it is not occupied, the best way to destroy only the main force of the combined fleet, to strangle the book in the cradle of the start, and to destroy their will to war is to completely destroy it from the sea! Cut off its sea lanes!

For a country whose resources are transported entirely by sea, the Navy is everything!

But Li Mo also knows that the book is not so easy to destroy, or the great powers are unwilling to be destroyed so easily, even if they can win the war, the United States and Britain will also continue to support it, for those foreign devils, fighting a war can not only allow them to obtain rich arms benefits, but also strengthen the right to speak in the region!

It's a whirlpool! As long as he takes this step, he and the Pacific Army will be involved in the extremely sinister international disputes and the chaotic turbulence of the Far East!

But he's not afraid!

Today, the Pacific Fleet can be regarded as the largest maritime power in the region after Britain. The two Polar Star battleships have been delivered to the Chilean Navy in May, because the Chilean Navy will also receive a warship of this class in a year, in order to carry out adaptation training early, so it still agreed to Li Mo's request to continue to lease Mas Ti Island for another year, and now it is being led by Long Guozhang and Ji Weishan respectively, and the four ships are being trained together.

The first experimental warship has also been built, and in less than a year, the shipyard's shipbuilding capacity will take this opportunity to take a leap, as long as you can build a real battleship, then no one can point fingers at you!

Linking Hawaii, Ryukyu and Guam, you have a solid marine base, and if you can include Liaodong in your resource circle, then ......!

Although today's Pacific Fleet still has only five warships in the eyes of outsiders, Li Mo clearly knows that with the return of four heavy cruisers and two battleships, in fact, the Pacific Fleet already has an overwhelming advantage over the rest of the fleet, and the only thing to worry about is the other side's small and quick style of play, and the reaction of various countries after the war! You need to think it through.

There are few belongings, and they can't withstand consumption! What's more, Young Master Li still plans to make money with the old ship.

"Contact Simmons immediately, tell him there's an opportunity to make a lot of money, and ask him if he'd like to come." The corners of Li Mo's mouth twitched and he laughed.

"Big Bird-kun! Please! ”

Foreign Minister Mutsu Munemitsu stood at the pier, looked at Keisuke Otori, who was about to leave, and suddenly took his hand and said.

"Lu Jun, please rest assured, as long as there are signs of rebellion in the Dongxue Party, I will definitely persuade Emperor Shina and Yuan Shikai to send troops to replace him, and the rest will be handed over to you!" Keisuke Otori was dressed in a military uniform and nodded and said.

Mutsu Munemitsu smiled: "Don't worry, Otori-kun, His Majesty the Emperor has made up his mind, it's time to let the people of China see the strength of my empire, as long as we can provoke the army of China not to withdraw from Korea, we can find an excuse to attack, and the hope of the empire is all on you!" ”

"Yes!" Keisuke Otori straightened up.

At this time, the two people with excitement and excitement didn't notice that among the escort's entourage, a pair of eyes blinked a few times and quickly drowned in the crowd.

The room is still the same room, and the person is still the same big man, but the atmosphere in the room is a little tense at the moment.

"Third brother, something happened in North Korea!" After the young man sat down, he said in one breath: "The Dongxue Party launched a riot at the beginning of the month, and a person named Quan Fengzhun led an uprising, captured the Gubu County Office, and captured the county guard alive. Now it has declared the establishment of a revolutionary power executive office, and put forward the slogan of destroying the powerful and exterminating the committee. This morning, Keisuke Otori has also set off, and I heard that this trip is to persuade Yuan Shikai to let him continue to stay in North Korea to suppress the riot, so that he can fish in troubled waters! ”

"Oh?" Dahan's eyes narrowed slightly, and he sighed: "It seems that I lost again." ”

"Lost?" The young man was confused, what was he talking about in North Korea, what kind of gambling money.

"How much did you lose? It's not going to put the old friends on it! The young man laughed lewdly. the ass! When did Lao Tzu gamble money! The big man kicked the young man and explained: "If I said that the young master guessed that the Dongxue Party would riot half a year ago, do you believe it or not?" ”

"It can't be!" The young man hurriedly shook his head, he was specifically responsible for the intelligence of the Dynasty, and even he didn't see that the Dongxue Party would riot half a year ago, how could the young master know?

The big man stretched his waist and said lazily: "I know you don't believe it!" But I can tell you that this is indeed what the young master said himself, and I even bet a pound with him! ”

"Hiss....... Could it be that the young master is really a god and can't go down to earth? The young man was dumbfounded, he knew that the man in front of him had never lied.

"Immortals?! Have you ever seen a fairy? After the big man smiled self-deprecatingly, he said seriously: "I have always suspected that the young master has another intelligence agency, which is even more powerful than us, so he can know about the civil strife in North Korea in advance." ”

"No, it won't!" The young man looked surprised and a little unconvinced: "Could it be that the young master doesn't believe in our Boss Duan!" ”

Dahan shook his head and said, "That won't!" Boss Duan is a popular person around the young master, not to mention that the girls in Yue'er are about to become young grandmothers, how can they be suspicious! I think this is probably the dual system that the young master usually talks about, to ensure the accurate surname and safe surname of the information. ”

"Oh." The young man nodded, remembering the Military Intelligence Bureau of the Pacific Army that had just been established not long ago, no wonder Boss Duan always likes to take a multi-pronged approach when doing things, and it seems that he has been influenced by the young master.

Dahan waved his hand and said, "Don't! I'm going to inform everyone that everyone except for the field team is going to the Ryukyus, and we are going to change homes. ”

"Ryukyu? What are you doing there? Don't you want it here? ”

"Ryukyu is a great place!" Dahan smiled slightly: "As for here..., hehe, if we stay here, I'm afraid we will be declared the least welcome person in the near future, and it is better to leave early than to be expelled." ”

"The least popular persona? Expelled from the city? The young man is not a fool after two sentences, and after muttering two sentences, his eyes suddenly lit up, and he looked at the big man and said, "Is it ......." ”

The big man nodded, took out a brand-new Black Star pistol from the drawer, handed it to the young man, and then got up and walked out: "The people from the Military Intelligence Bureau have already tied up with me yesterday, so give it to them here!" ”

"Great, I already saw that those would-be pirates were not pleasing to the eye, and they dared to call it an empire! Fuck the shit! The young man excitedly took the pistol, fiddled with it a few times, and turned to chase after the big man
