    The Tang family looked back at Adeng Tian and said, "Are you homesick?"

    "Home?" To be honest, Tian Aden has a very vague concept of "home". Ever since he followed Tang Jian and became a member of the Langya mercenaries, home has become a noun in his heart.  That¡¯s all.

    "Then are you homesick, captain?" Tian Aden asked instead of answering.

    "Me?" Tang Jian smiled slightly: "Don't you already have a family now?"

    ¡°Haha, that¡¯s right, there are three more ladies!¡± Tian Aden laughed.

    Tang Jian looked at the sea not far away, sighed, and said: "I suddenly felt a kind of fatigue that I had never experienced before. It made me so tired, but I had to go on, because if I choose, there is no way out. I am now  I even miss the days when we wandered around together a little bit, haha."

    Tian Aden nodded: "We think so too, but now that we have come to this world and have made a choice, we should fight for the ideals we set at the beginning. I remember the captain once told me that the choice we made  I have to finish the road even on my knees!"

    Tang Jian chuckled: "Okay, let's talk about it. It feels like we are both in our seventies. I have to go back to Wuhan first, and I will leave everything here to you. If you don't have enough funds, just ask Bafeit for it!"  "Tang Jian patted Tian Aden's shoulder solemnly.

    Tian Aden nodded seriously.  Looking at Tang Jian's leaving figure, Tian Aden suddenly felt like he was in another world, as if the captain in front of him was a little different from before.

    At the same time, Tokyo Bay, Japan.

    After nearly 20 days of cleaning up, the waterway in Tokyo Bay has finally been cleared, and the Pacific Fleet has officially entered Yokosuka Port.

    Early that morning, Ye Zugui, Cheng Biguang and other senior generals of the Pacific Fleet stood neatly on the pier of Yokosuka Port. Such a strong formality was not that they were welcoming anyone, but that today the Pacific Fleet officially accepted Japan.  The day when the ships of the returning fleet returned home.

    After Japan's Emperor Meiji promulgated the surrender edict, the return of the returning fleet no longer had any significance to the war situation, but it was extremely important to the Pacific Fleet, because the Pacific Fleet had three more Longwei-class battleships and various cruisers.  There are more than 30 ships such as destroyers and destroyers.

    Regardless of whether Ijuin Goro is willing or not, this brand new fleet will be placed under the Pacific Fleet. For the Pacific Fleet, not only has its strength been greatly improved again, but it has no rival in the Far East, even if it is  It is also capable of fighting against the British ocean fleet in the Far East, which is known as the Empire on which the sun never sets, not to mention the fleets of other countries.

    It can be said that the addition of Japan¡¯s returning fleet has made the Pacific Fleet the first fleet in the Far East!

    "Look! It's the returning fleet!" Cheng Biguang smiled and pointed at the fleet with its mast slightly exposed on the sea in the distance.

    On the sea, a huge fleet was slowly sailing towards Yokosuka Port. The brand-new hull and the ferocious muzzles all showed the powerful military value of such a fleet.

    It¡¯s just that the flagpole representing the Japanese Navy is not hoisted on the flagpole of each warship. In fact, Japan no longer has a navy.

    They were replaced by white surrender flags. These pale flags showed the true identity of this fleet. A fleet of a defeated country was not qualified to fly its own flag in front of the victorious country. That would attract inexplicable hostility. In case of any  Any misunderstanding that causes armed conflict will be unnecessary losses for both parties.

    At this time, Ijuin Goro was standing on the front deck of the flagship of the returning fleet, his eyes slightly red, and his mood became heavier as he looked at the coastline that was getting closer.

    Because once they arrive at Yokosuka Port, the fleet that he went through all kinds of hardships and traveled almost half the world to bring back will be handed over to others.

    What he didn¡¯t expect at the beginning was that just as the returning fleet entered peacetime, news of defeat and surrender came from Tokyo, and the emperor issued a decree that the returning fleet must surrender to the Chinese Pacific Fleet in a complete structure.

    This news was like a bolt from the blue. Ijuin Goro was stunned at the time. He really couldn't understand why His Majesty the Emperor would make such a decision. If the Empire was defeated and His Majesty the Emperor ordered all returning fleets to sink to the bottom of the sea, he would not hesitate.  Implement it immediately, because he doesn't want to leave anything that will help China.

    But now, His Majesty the Emperor actually asked him to surrender in full force. This is more shocking than asking him to sink all his ships. Isn't this equivalent to the fact that he worked so hard to bring back the returning fleet, but the result is not the empire's?  And became part of the Pacific Fleet, then what happened to Ijuin Goro and China's transportation captain?What's the difference?

    In the sailing formation of the returning fleet, the Japanese naval soldiers on each warship drooped their heads listlessly, and faced the upcoming reception ceremony with dull eyes. Even the sea breeze seemed to reveal that  Such despair and heartache that cannot be concealed.

    What could be sadder than losing a brand new fleet?

    "Your Excellency, Commander, it is too late to scuttle these new ships now. We have gone through so many difficulties to return to Tokyo Bay. We are not here to send new ships to the Chinese Pacific Fleet." The deputy commander of the returning fleet said angrily.

    "Of course I know this is the best choice, but we are loyal to His Majesty the Emperor. As soldiers, we have to obey His Majesty the Emperor's orders!" These words came out almost word by word from Ijuin Goro's mouth.

    "But I would rather fight to the death, even if I sleep forever at the bottom of the sea!" Deputy Commander Guang said, waving his fists, with a strong fighting spirit bursting out of his eyes.

    "My desire to fight is stronger than any of you! However, the emperor is in their hands, and our country is in their hands! Defending our country is the bounden duty of soldiers. Once we start a war with the Chinese Pacific Fleet, we will  Will become the sinner who provokes the second war, and the peace finally bought at such a huge price will no longer exist, and China may even take some drastic actions. At that time, not only the emperor's life will be in danger, but also the empire's life will be in danger.  We will fall into the flames of war again, and all lives will be destroyed! Then we will no longer be called soldiers of the empire, but sinners! But if you think about it carefully, surrender is not another way of fighting?" Ijuin Goro smiled bitterly.  ;

    Although he said this verbally, he almost failed to suppress the fighting spirit bursting out of his heart, and almost ordered an attack, but his reason told him that he must not do this.

    The deputy commander could only nodded silently. He admitted that Goro Ijuin was right.

    Soon after, Goro Ijuin officially walked down the ramp of the flagship of the returning fleet and came to the negotiation table that had been prepared. Matters regarding the peaceful reception of the returning fleet had also been laid out on the table.

    Ijuin Goro slowly wrote a few words of humiliation in his own column with difficulty. Yezu Kei quickly signed his name, and then exchanged the document with Ijuin Goro. Ijuin Goro took the receipt document and felt as if it weighed a thousand pounds.  Average weight.

    The whole acceptance ceremony ended in less than half an hour. Then, the Japanese navy soldiers on the ships of the returning fleet began to send long lines to slowly disembark and officially became prisoners of the Pacific Fleet.

    Looking at the returning fleet anchored in Yokosuka Port, Ye Zugui and Cheng Biguang looked at each other and smiled. Ye Zugui said with a smile: "We have finally completed the task assigned to us by the president. This time we can go back to deliver the mission. Maybe we can also take a long vacation.  Take a good rest! Haha.¡±

    "It's a beautiful thought! Didn't the president say it? The pacification of the northern China Sea is only a small part of the entire strategic plan. There are still many things waiting for us!" Cheng Biguang said half-jokingly.

    The two of them nodded seriously at the same time. The plan to build an island chain that Tang Jian told them last time has just taken the first step. What is now in front of the Pacific Fleet is no longer north of Taiwan.  The Pacific Ocean is the southern sea fronting the southeastern territory of China.

    At night that day, the former commander of the returning fleet, Goro Ijuin, and the former deputy commander of the fleet committed suicide in Yokosuka concentration camp.

    ??China, Wuhan, Presidential Palace.

    At this time, several giants of the Chinese government gathered in the conference hall of the Presidential Palace, including Prime Minister Yan Fu, Finance Minister Barbet, CIA Director Lee Gates, and Army Field Marshal Sun Wanling.

    Tang Jian waited for a few people to take their seats and said, "I'm calling everyone here this time. You should be able to guess what's going on, right?"

    Yan Fu nodded and said, "This should be a summary of this war against Japan."

    "Yes, this is one of the contents!" Tang Jian said, "Actually, the focus is still on the future development of China, because most of the generals are still outside at this time and cannot come back for the time being, so this time it is tentative.  It¡¯s just a general policy. After all the military and political officials have arrived, we will discuss the results of today¡¯s meeting!¡±

    Sun Wanling coughed lightly and said: "Although I have been at the rear and did not directly participate in the war against Japan, judging from the outcome of the war, the blitz tactics used this time were a bold attempt and also very successful.  This blitz tactic should be vigorously developed in the future. However, this blitz war still exposed some problems, such as the mobility is not flexible enough, and the supplies in the rear sometimes cannot keep up with the speed of the assault troops. In addition, the air force andThe assault force of the Czech armored forces is slightly insufficient. I think that in the future, we must vigorously promote the mechanization of the army and enhance the mobility of the troops. At the same time, the strength of the air force and tank troops still needs to be enhanced!  "

    Tang Jian nodded: "Yes, General Sun and I thought about it together. Regarding this war against Japan, some problems were directly exposed. In view of this situation, I think China should vigorously develop its armaments now. In the development  Along with the economy, we must not forget to vigorously strengthen our military strength!¡±

    ps: Still one update, in pain.
