396 Chaos
The Russian fleet actually occupied Dili, and the commander of the Far Eastern Fleet was stupid after being beaten once by the Chinese army? Even if you want to go to the base, don't choose Dili? It's almost right under the noses of Borneo and Luzon!
When the news spread rapidly along the telephone lines and occupied the major newspapers of various countries, not to mention China, even Europe and the United States were dumbfounded. 【 I want: super fast update 】
The urgency is the Netherlands, after being bitten by Li Mo, the sea coachman can be regarded as realizing what it is like to have a house leak and rain overnight, Dili is occupied, which means that Sumatra, Java and Guinea after the East Indies have lost contact, Britain, France, Germany and other countries have long been eyeing where they are, especially Germany, which lacks colonies, even if it is a deserted place, people are overjoyed, how can they give up such a good opportunity?
Crucially, when Witthoeft announced that Dili would be temporarily placed under Russian trusteeship, the Chinese Ministry of Foreign Affairs immediately sent a note to the Dutch ambassador, demanding that the Netherlands give an explanation for the provision of the islands to Russia, and that it would reserve the right to take further action if no reasonable answer was obtained!
What goes further to power?
Everyone knows Li Mo's greed for Nanyang, and judging from the trajectory of the past few years, he is a madman, a more barbaric madness than the one in St. Petersburg.
For several years, his army had been on the sidelines, and the sound of slogans was heard every day in the barracks everywhere, and there was never a day when they stopped drilling. His fleet has gone crazy all over the Pacific Ocean, and according to the reports of German naval interns in China, the average life of all types of warships in their hands will drop by 20%.
The railroad lines in his territory are stretching like crazy, and they are even more red-hot than in the years of American fanaticism. The chimneys increased day by day, the machines of the factories did not stop for a day, and the country, which had suffered greatly from opium and exploitation, finally burst into full enthusiasm after a torment of several years.
Yes, "his national strength is still very weak, their manufacturing industry is just starting, only a few shipyards that have gathered most of the resources are not bad, their domestic goods are not rich, and they also need to purchase a large number of foreign machinery every year to meet the demand" But when a country of 400 million people gradually wakes up, what can stop them!
Perhaps Russia is the only country that can stop the rise of China, because the long border that anyone who sees it will have a headache will hold back too much of China's energy, so after the initial turmoil, almost all countries in Europe and the United States feel that Dili handing over to Russia is a proposal worth considering.
Nicholas II was arrogant and stated that if Europe abandoned Russia, "then he would immediately order the fleet to set off to occupy the island of Sumatra, because as the great Slavs, one of the leaders of the white world, he would not watch Sumatra encroached and occupied by China!"
On 1 January of that year, France convened a conference of European countries to negotiate the question of Dili, after which the Netherlands agreed to sell East Timor to Russia, provided that they had received guarantees of security from the rest of their East Indies colonies. (Full text reading, all in. (.i. Want. Wen. Learning Network)
A better ending, but the problem is that after getting cheap, "Nicholas II went so far as to say that Russia was fighting for the honor of Europe, so Dili should be given to Russia, and even Netherlands Guinea should be given to Russia as a reward."
However, after all, Russia and everyone are united on the China issue, and France has paid a symbolic purchase price of 10,000 francs for Russia in the form of a loan.
When this news reached the United States, the New York Times became famous and unabashedly ridiculed Europe, believing that leaving aside the question of China's decision to belong to Dili, which belongs to Asia, was the consistent arrogance of the old Europe, and they always liked to isolate others, and even ignored the opinions of the United States, so they believed that the United States should take the initiative to participate in the construction of the world order, instead of continuing to sit and watch as it did this time.
As if in response to the New York Times' commentary, on January 10, "Tang Shaoyi held a press conference in Shanghai, saying that China would not abide by this agreement" and "would not recognize Dili as a Russian mandate, and believed that such a decision by Europe" was an isolation and mockery of China!
is a serious hostility!
What is unimaginable is that in addition to the Dili issue, Tang Shaoyi also released a film video for the first time, showing a clip of flying by mechanical force, although it is silent, but it makes everyone stunned.
Later, in order to prove to everyone the authenticity of the picture, Hua also exhibited this two-wing wooden aircraft for the first time in the suburbs of Shanghai, and did a few minutes of air performance, although the height is only more than 30 meters, and the wobbly is worrying that it will fall down at any time, but it really proves to the world that the dream of human beings to use mechanical force to fly into the sky can be realized!
Almost instantly, the whole world was stunned by the news that humanity had planted its wings! The former obscure Adel designer and his team of designers who didn't know where to go, were all talking, and the previous Dili problems were drowned out in countless voices of amazement, envy and suspicion.
No one knew that when a photo arrived in Europe and the United States across the ocean, and was printed in newspaper headlines and spread all over Europe and the United States, in a corner, the Wright brothers were in a daze at the wooden frame they had developed in the bicycle shed, because the plane on it was almost exactly the same as the one in front of them!
Just when the whole world was stirred up by the airplanes, no one noticed that on 30 January, 10 days before the Lunar New Year, Prime Minister Hua published the famous "Letter to the People of the Whole Country" in the Chinese Daily, declaring that China has sovereignty over all of East Siberia, including Lake Belga, Vladivostok, Sakhalin Island, and the Kamchatka Peninsula.
In the aftermath of this declaration, the Prime Minister, who spoke no worse than Li Mo, strongly protested in a highly inflammatory tone against Russia's occupation and enslavement of China's territory, demanding that Russia must withdraw from Eastern Siberia in its entirety by 30 July, or face all the consequences.
As soon as this declaration came out, the whole world stopped breathing, knowing that Li Mo had made up his mind to fight this war with Russia! European and American countries immediately laid down their planes and began to strongly condemn China's expansionism.
In the midst of this accusation, Li Enfu quietly issued a national mobilization order and quietly began to recruit reserve soldiers with a total of ten divisions.
Reserve is an important embodiment of the country's armed forces, Li Mo has paid great attention to this point since the northeast, and after reunification, the construction of reserve forces has been increased.
Therefore, when this conscription order was issued, 200,000 troops were formed in just one month, "the huge human resource advantage was finally manifested, but they were not regular troops after all, and they could not even reach the strength of the national [civilian] guard, so they had to undergo a closed and rigorous training for half a year again."
But in fact, everyone knows that this sudden large-scale conscription of reservists is mostly due to concerns about the lack of replenishment of the current troops, they are only reserves, and they may ensure that the stability of the recovered lost territory can still be ensured, but if they are really sent to the front line, it means that half of this war has been lost!
But what is unexpected is that when this "Letter to the People of the Whole Country" was reprinted by all newspapers, the first to respond were students, and the students who were in the era of enthusiasm took to the streets one after another to express their support for the Prime Minister's Office and His Majesty the Emperor's recovery of Eastern Siberia, and signed up to join the army.
One blazing storm after another began to thunder "When the whole world was stunned by China's planes and the "Letter to the People of the Whole Country" for a while, it was Britain that calmed down first, and the world's big brother suddenly announced the sale of two freshly launched second-class battleships to Ecuador.
Just when the world was stunned that another South American naval power was about to be born, Ecuador announced that it would sell two more battleships to Russia, and then Nicholas II swaggered to send the two battleships back.
Although Britain had an agreement with China not to provide bases in the Far East and not to support Russia, "but now the battleships did not belong to Britain, so there was no way to ask others what to do with the battleships."
&p;nbā move, now that the British have returned it to themselves, they really can't complain about others, but fortunately, the Ministry of Intelligence and the General Staff have long predicted this result, so they don't even bother to protest, but they make a solemn protest against Ecuador!
But after all, Ecuador is too far away from China to care about this itchy protest at all, "Not to mention that in their opinion, it is difficult to say whether China can win against Russia, which has the support of the whole of Europe."
At the same time that all countries announced that they would not intervene in the war, "a shipload of arms set off from the United States and France, and arrived in St. Petersburg in a steady stream, and in the face of China's "Letter to the People of the Whole Country", Nicholas II also vied with each other and said that he would defend the glory of Jizhou and recruit a large number of soldiers again.
With the end of the Lunar New Year, several sharp-eyed European reporters suddenly discovered that the closed slipways of the Dalian and Huludao shipyards affiliated to the Northern Heavy Industry had been quietly opened, and the inside was already empty.
At the beginning of the construction of the shipyard, he made the main large dry docks of the two major shipyards into closed large slipways suitable for wind and snow weather, which has the advantage of not being affected by the weather, because if it is an open-air dry dock, the long winter will not only reduce efficiency, but even the start of construction will be affected when there is a big snowstorm.
Now he took advantage of this advantage and avoided all gaze, when everyone thought that he would not let a few warships leave at the risk of snow and ice closing the port, but he did it anyway, relying on an icebreaker to quietly take several warships out of the frozen sea and disappear from sight.
&p;nbā move, countries are also ready, because everyone believes that these warships will never escape the scope of the Chinese type.
On April 1, when the snowstorm was still raging in Siberia, the Siberian Railway, the main artery connecting Europe and Asia, was announced, and Nicholas II, who could not wait, immediately stuffed the soldiers who were waiting for cotton clothes into the train and transported them to the Far East.
When puffs of smoke billowed out of the locomotive's head, it also indicated that the chaotic world abandoned by the news of airplanes and mysterious warships was gradually calming down.
Because everyone knows that it is the fist that speaks in the end!
