- It was late at night, but the light bulb was still on in the office of President Li Han in the Presidential Palace. Li Han, the young president who single-handedly created the glory of the current Republic of China, was still handling official duties before burying his head in the case.
The pen and paper were swishing on the documents. Seeing the president yawning one after another from time to time, the guards standing by were worried and heartbroken. Others only think that the position of the president is very comfortable, commanding a country and the leader of 40 to 50 million people. But only they know that since the Sino-Japanese War started, the President has never had a good night's sleep or slept for more than four hours a day. His eyes are bloodshot and he has a lot of white hair on his head. A lot.
Who still remembers that the president has only just stood up, and he is in the prime of life. He is not busy taking care of the country, dealing with internal and external difficulties, and working for the future of the country.
"President, would you like another pot of tea?"
A guard estimated the time in his mind, thinking that the pot of tea he had added in the middle of the night might have gone cold by now, so he asked in a low voice.
Hearing this, Lu San stepped forward and touched the pot of tea, and found that it was indeed much cooler. Then he said: "Sir, it's time to rest"
"There's no need to change" Li Han stretched out, glanced at the telegraph operator who was sitting not far away and staring at the telegraph machine on the table in front of him. Let me go and have some rest first. I will wait"
Tonight is a very important night. Li Han knows that Lu San, as his head of security, has been with him for so many years, so he can naturally hear some.
He glanced at the telegraph operator who had already started to take a nap, sighed, nodded and called a guard. After whispering a few words, there was a muffled sound in the office, and another telegraph operator slept in the rest area next to him for a short while. The staff came over and replaced them.
"Lu San, what time is it?"
After processing official documents for a while, my eyes felt a little sore. Only then did Li Han stop his hand and ask for the time.
"Sir, it's just after two o'clock. You can go and have a rest. If there is a call from the General Staff or the Navy later, I will definitely"
Before he finished speaking, suddenly, a phone rang on the table. Everyone in the room suddenly became excited, and for a moment everyone looked at the phone that kept ringing on the table.
Li Han took a deep breath and waved away the slight uneasiness in his heart. He reached out and picked up the phone, "Hello"
"President, good news of the Battle of the Yellow Sea has arrived, we have won!"
It was a call from the Ministry of the Navy. Tang Xiangming seemed to be able to hear the sound of sniffling on the other side of the phone, "the navy officers of our Republic of China fought to their death. The battle in the Yellow Sea lasted for six hours, and the Japanese battleships Hyuga and Fuso were sunk successively. Four new battleships including the battleship Haruna, the battleship Settsu, the old battleships An Yun and Hatsase were sunk, the armored cruiser Kurama was sunk, and more than ten Japanese battleships, large and small, were sunk. , according to our statistical data, it has accounted for 90% of the main naval ships of the Japanese task force"
"Hiss!" Li Han took a breath of cold air and staggered immediately. It was Lu San who had always been vigilant. When he saw that he was not standing still, he quickly stepped forward to support him so that he would not make a fool of himself in front of others.
¡°¡The information is confirmed and correct¡¡±
Li Han waved his hand to Lu San to retreat, grabbed the phone with a smile on his face: "What are our losses?"
As the supreme leader of this country, Li Han knows very well. This Sino-Japanese war is the most important battle for the Republic of China to achieve its rise and become a great power. The Republic of China can only win but cannot fail. If we win, everything will be easy to say. Taiwan Island will come back. Apart from Hong Kong, the occupied territories of the Republic of China are only sporadic islands such as the South China Sea and Ryukyu, which cannot be temporarily recovered due to the weakness of the navy. But all other lost territories will be returned to the hands of the Republic of China.
Everything that Japan took away from the Republic of China during the First Sino-Japanese War more than 20 years ago, including its status as a great power, its status as a hegemon in East Asia, and its dominance in East Asia, will also be regained.
Not only that, this battle is also related to Japan's mainland policy. Once it wins, the Republic of China will definitely set back Japan's mainland policy. With the victory of the road battle, if the navy can continue to threaten Japan's major waterways with its great power, then In the next twenty years, the Republic of China will usher in the most peaceful twenty years. In the early years, why he worked so hard to guide Japanese public opinion and high-level officials to focus on Southeast Asia, and indirectly influenced Japan to seize the Dutch colony, was for this reason.
The current Dutch East Indies can bring Japan 200 million yen of colonial plunder capital every year. Moreover, with the excellent geographical location, rich land, products, and minerals, the Japanese simply swallowed up this piece of fat.It was impossible to spit it out again. The European War is coming to an end. Japan has occupied the Dutch East Indies. There is no doubt that Britain, France and the United States are very dissatisfied. If the war with the Republic of China continues and the navy suffers heavy losses from the Republic of China, the Japanese will have hard days ahead.
Either the East Indies colonies must be spit out, or the Sino-Japanese war must be ended as soon as possible and the coming censure of Britain, France and the United States must be fully dealt with.
It has been nearly ten years since he traveled to this era. After ten years of officialdom and understanding of the history of later generations, Li Han has seen it clearly since before the war. The victory in the land battle was just to make Japan feel the pain and lay a solid foundation for regaining its territory. Only a victory in the naval battle would force Japan to finally make a choice between the increasingly hopeless march north and the effort to secure its southern colonies.
"President, we have confirmed that the information is correct. Wait a moment, and I believe the General Staff will send a more detailed battle report to your shore"
As soon as he mentioned the losses, the excitement in Tang Xiangming's voice dissipated a lot, and his voice became lower, "Ocean-going submarines were silent, No. 005, 011, and 019, and the other five have not yet returned to the team; offshore submarines Seventeen ships have been confirmed to be silent, and more than 20 ships have not yet returned to the team. They may have been sunk or lost the channel in the previous pursuit of the Japanese fleeing fleet. More than 40 torpedo boats suddenly stopped, Basically, the entire establishment was wiped out only the last two of the dozen or so temporarily modified torpedo boats remained except for except for"
He was already crying on the phone, and it took him a long time to gradually hear clearly, "In addition, Xinding and Weiyuan were shot and sunk during the battle, Weiwei was severely damaged and ran aground, and Haichiu and Haichen were also sunk. Now they can still move." There are only three big ships, Xinzhen, Wei Zhen, and Hairong"
Li Han's hand holding the phone trembled. He knew that in order to severely damage the Japanese navy, and also to make other powers relax their vigilance against the Republic of China after the war, he forced the navy to go to war and damaged it, just to do it in the next ten years. It has not built large ships or developed its navy for years, so that countries such as Britain and the United States will turn their vigilant eyes to Japan, a maritime power. No one thought that in the face of the land power China, Japan's strategy of going north to the mainland suffered a devastating blow. If it wanted to develop, it would have to have fierce friction with Britain and the United States and develop into Southeast Asia, South Asia, and even Oceania and the Pacific.
This is a difficult multiple-choice question. He chose to sacrifice the navy to complete the future strategy of the Republic of China, but
After a long sigh, he said to the phone: "Let the other side step up the statistics of the identities of the navy's dead soldiers. The country will not let down any warrior. They died fighting for the future of the Republic of China. Their future will be left to the Republic of China." !¡±
"Yes, I will definitely urge the front line to speed up the statistics!"
Tang Xiangming responded and asked: "President, we captured more than 2,000 Japanese navy sailors who fell overboard after the war. What do you think should be done with these individuals?"
Li Han's eyes turned cold, and he lowered his voice and said: "Tell the front line to do it more cleanly. I don't want a Japanese navy soldier to return to Japan alive and become the backbone of the Japanese navy to grow again in the future"
"Yes, I understand and dare to do this!"
"Besides" Li Han was still uneasy, "You should immediately notify the front line and have the submarine force and water ghosts dispatched to carry out secondary destruction of the sunken Japanese warships"
Although the location of the naval battle was located in the waters of the Republic of China, the weak navy of the Republic of China was simply unable to prevent Japan from salvaging these sunken warships for repair and use after the war. Li Han was worried about this. What he wanted was that Japan's naval strength would be difficult to recover within five years, while the Republic of China could use these five years to vigorously develop submarines and torpedo boats, and at the same time rely on coastal defense positions and land aviation fighters to defend the country. The offshore defense line was complete and the economy of the Republic of China was fully developed.
"yes!"
The call lasted for more than ten minutes. Not long after Li Han hung up the phone, someone from the General Staff rushed to the presidential palace. It was Chief of General Staff Jiang Fangzhen who came in person. He couldn't hide the joy on his face.
"President, good news"
As soon as the person stepped into his office, he heard him shouting excitedly, handing him the document bag he was holding, "The Navy Department should have called you. Here is the detailed battle report, a big victory." According to the battle situation on the front line, our naval warriors sank approximately 340,000 tons of Japanese naval warships in the first battle, reducing the size of its navy by nearly 40%. Japan's remaining fleet is currently stationed on the mainland and Taiwan , Pacific islands and East Indies colonies. Unless the Japanese government can be ruthless and give up its overseas colonies, especially the East Indies colonies, it will be impossible for the Japanese to organize a powerful task force to threaten them with their current navy. My army is fighting"
This is indeed a good thing and it couldn¡¯t be betterNews, finally received the good news that they had been waiting for for several years. After Li Han and Jiang Fangzhen exchanged some views on follow-up strategies, they could not hide their sleepiness and got on the boat and slept in their clothes for a few hours.
The next day, at Li Han's signal, the government's throat newspaper "Voice of China" suddenly published the explosive news of the "Yellow Sea Victory", in which the Japanese navy ambushed the Japanese task force, except for a few warships that escaped. , the explosive news of the almost complete annihilation of the Japanese task force came out.
As soon as the news appeared in the newspapers, it immediately set off a huge storm in the country. From Xi'an to Beijing, from Fengtian to Hong Kong, in just one day, there were all voices talking about this matter.
At first, most of the people in the country were still doubtful, but as more and more photos were taken and sent from the front line, and news from Japan also confirmed this matter, the Republic of China, and even the entire East Asia and even the world, There was an uproar immediately. It was unimaginable that the Republic of China, with its weak navy, could severely damage Japan, which was a powerful navy.
?????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????:
Li Han still understood the sound of striking while the iron was hot. In order to show Japan China's determination to fight, he ordered the army to expand. Thirty main divisions would be added before the end of the year, which would be used in the war in Northeast China and Taiwan, and to the Mongolian Military Region and the East China Military Region. They each issued an order to once again dispatch a main division from each of the two military regions to the northeastern front for consolidation; they also dispatched another main division from the Southwest and South China Military Regions to Fujian for rest and reorganization. At the same time, they ordered the military factories in Sichuan, Hubei, Anhui and other provinces to operate at full capacity. Horsepower, column after column of troops loaded with arms, concentrated towards the Northeast and Fujian, with great ambition to annihilate Japan on the Korean Peninsula, and take the opportunity to regain the momentum in the two places.
At the same time, Li Han once again used the presidential decree to order the construction of concentration camps in various places, and ordered the arrest of all Japanese in the Republic of China. After being forcibly collected, they were forced to serve in mines and other places under the threat of whips, bayonets, and firearms. The slightest disobedience was whipped. , penalties, and issued an order in the name of the Presidential Office to completely confiscate all Japanese assets in China. At the same time, it spread rumors to foreigners in China, and all companies and foreign banks with Japanese shares were not recognized by the Republic of China coefficient.
Seeing that the hostility between China and Japan is getting worse, the Republic of China's hostile attitude towards Japan is gradually getting out of control, which is likely to affect other countries and forces in China. After all, in the early years, the great powers jointly slaughtered the fat sheep - the Qing Dynasty - in order to coordinate the relations between countries. After Japan became stronger after the Meiji Restoration, especially after the Russo-Japanese War, almost every time the great powers made trouble in China and engaged in colonial plunder, they inevitably brought Japan with them. . It can be said that the entanglement of interests between imperial and socialist powers is far deeper than the outside world knows.
Seeing that the Republic of China was going to "kill all" Japan, it was afraid that its own interests would be damaged. At the same time, it was also worried that the war between China and Japan would further escalate. China, with its growing nationalism, would take advantage of the Western powers to be exhausted in the European War. They operate. The ambassadors of various countries in China soon realized that they could no longer sit back and watch the fight between tigers and tigers. Otherwise, if they did not mediate, China and Japan, which would probably become red-eyed, would no longer have any scruples. Japan's navy retaliated and would capture provinces where the interests of the great powers were located, including the southeastern coast of the Republic of China.
And China, which has followed Germany in establishing a small and powerful submarine fleet, is also likely to expand their submarine tactics. Once it escalates into unrestricted submarine warfare, it will affect the safety of merchant ships trading with Japan.
It was precisely because of this concern that a week after the news of China's victory in the Yellow Sea Battle came out, the British Ambassador to China, led by the British Ambassador to China, and the American Ambassador Steady, who had the best relationship with Li Han, finally walked into the door of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and formally presented the diplomats to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs. The Ministry of Foreign Affairs submitted a diplomatic document expressing its willingness to establish a peace negotiation platform for China and Japan at war.
¡°President, we¡¯ve been waiting for them for a few days, why don¡¯t you make a statement?¡±
In the presidential palace, Li Han, who had just finished processing the official documents, played chess with the visiting Jiang Fangzhen.
"Don't worry, the person I want to wait for hasn't arrived yet, wait a little longer" Li Han smiled and was not in a hurry. Despite these days, the Japanese were clamoring for revenge, and there were also rumors of a build-up in the navy. But he holds an intelligence agency with its own intelligence stations all over the world. According to news from Japan and Nanyang, although the main force of the Japanese navy is still gathering, not many warships have returned home. This island country is not as vast as China, which has a vast territory and rich resources. Many of its supplies depend on overseas colonies. A naval battle cost the warships that had been built after nearly ten years of tightening the country's belt. Now the whole of Japan has been hurt by this heavy blow.
The tragic Korean War has broken out. The Republic of China has concentrated nearly 600 fighter planes and more than 4,000 artillery pieces to launch a strong attack on the Japanese army on the Korean Peninsula. Although every day of delay, the Republic of China has to pay millions of dollars. price, butThe Republic of China, which had just grown rich from the dividends from the European War, could hold on for the time being. Just the day before, Republic of China fighter planes had bombed Pyongyang and Seoul. Although Li Han did not order the use of poison gas bombs, he ordered the use of incendiary bombs and sent all those in domestic stocks to the front line. Under the fierce attack of nearly 400,000 main field divisions of the Republic of China, Japan is retreating steadily. Although it has not yet collapsed, the continuous losses of positions and the increasing number of casualties have put increasing pressure on the Japanese government and military. Heavy.
¡°Moreover, Li Han also maliciously sent back the tragic scenes of Japanese people in China who were imprisoned in concentration camps and sent to serve in coal mines. All of a sudden, the Japanese who had used the same harsh methods to deal with Chinese workers in Japan were also panicked and uneasy. There are many knowledgeable people among the Japanese. They are now seeing that China and Japan are heading towards an endless war of a thousand days, and they are reminded of the tragic situation ten years after they tightened their belts and defeated Russia.
Immediately, the anti-war voices in Japan became louder and louder. Moreover, with the shortage of domestic supplies, the rice riots that have lasted for many years have become more and more intense. Li Han even ordered people to transport several firearms and weapons to Japan by submarine. Now, Japan's ruling class has sat down Can't stand it anymore
The two were playing chess when suddenly a guard walked into the office.
"Report to the President! Mr. Sun asks for an audience!"
The two people who were playing chess stopped when they heard the sound. Jiang Fangzhen was about to speak. When he saw the strange smile on Li Han's face, he suddenly understood something and asked in a low voice: "President, is the person you are waiting for here? "
Li Han nodded with a smile, waved his hand and said to the guard: "Invite him in"
After a while, I saw that I had gained a lot of weight in the past two years, and I looked more like a rich man than Sun Yat-sen, the former founding father and the first president of the Republic of China.
"Mr. Zhongshan, this is the gust of wind that brought you here today"
Li Han stood up and went to greet him. Not to mention Sun Yat-sen's noble character and his status as the first president of the Republic of China, Li Han had to treat him with courtesy.
Sun Yat-sen looked excited and squeezed his hand: "We are lucky to have a president in the Republic of China Wen is lucky I learned about the great victory of our navy a few days ago, and the heroic souls of the seven thousand navy After this battle, In the next twenty years, there will be no war in the region, and the Republic of China will truly usher in its time of development"
Sun Yat-sen, because of his special status, could not enter politics, so he went to Xijing University to serve as the president. Over the past few years, he read a lot of books. He had lost all his anger as a cannon. Now when he looks at things and problems, he is becoming more and more international. Watched.
Li Han smiled, although he knew that he must have been entrusted by Japan. You must know that the Kuomintang was supported by the Japanese government and military in the past. In Japan, many senior military and political officials had good personal relationships with Sun Yat-sen, including previous prime ministers. After Li Han raised the anti-Japanese banner, if the Japanese were to give in, they could only use the two paths of the great powers' ambassadors to China and Sun Yat-sen to convey the intention of peace talks to the Republic of China.
As soon as Sun Yat-sen moved, real peace talks came.
Sure enough, after Sun Yat-sen finished speaking, he was heard to say: " but war is also a major national event. A cannon goes off and gold is worth ten thousand taels. If the war lasts for a long time, it will not be conducive to the interests of our newly established Republic of China. So not long ago, there was An old friend of Japan asked someone to send a letter from overseas, hoping that Wen would personally convey it to you, the president. Although he knew that this move would be criticized, for the sake of the foundation of the country, Wen still came."
He took out a letter from his pocket and solemnly handed it to Li Han, "This is a letter from Yamagata, a veteran of the Japanese army, who asked me to convey it to the president. Just a few days ago, my predecessor wanted to sow discord between China and Japan. Prime Minister Tanaka Giichi has been released from house arrest as Prime MinisterPresident, the Japanese hope that our two countries will suspend their hostility and cooperate with each other to deal with the white powers who are about to end the European War and return their attention to the Far East"
After receiving the letter, Li Han smiled when he heard the words, twenty years of peace are coming!
