Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    "The Sino-Japanese War saw a morning of snow" was how most newspapers commented on the Battle of Dadonggou.

    The Japanese have no say at all in the international community now and have no choice but to let the Nanjing government's penmen say whatever they want - they always suffer military defeats, and weakness is the original sin.

    Because the Pacific Fleet was completely wiped out, the American emperor jumped out unwillingly and accused the Nanjing government's Central Navy of killing the naval prisoners of the Japanese Combined Fleet - of course the American emperor was referring to the blond and blue-eyed foreign prisoners in the Combined Fleet, because according to the United States  According to the regulations of the Imperial Navy, surrendering if defeated is no big deal.

    However, after the war, the Nanjing government trumpeted in newspapers that no one in the Japanese navy of the combined fleet was willing to accept rescue, and the entire army was wiped out. The American emperor certainly did not believe this.  Afterwards, the U.S. imperialists sent a ship to take a look at the battle waters. Some of the corpses that had been eaten by sharks on the sea had bullet holes.

    The Nanjing government stated that this was absolutely not the case and that these people committed suicide.  The American emperor took out a photo and asked the Nanjing government: "How can there be any reason to commit suicide with nineteen shots? Five of them hit vital points."

    When the Nanjing government writer realized that he had no reason to take the blame for the Navy, he changed the topic and talked in the newspaper about the "Chinese Exclusion Act" of a certain state during the American Empire.  Moreover, it is pointed out that this racial discrimination bill is still implemented today.  The implication is that we have enmity with you and have no obligation to answer your questions.

    Because the US imperialists lost most of the ships of the Pacific Fleet, they were unable to threaten the Nanjing government militarily. In the end, the matter could only be left alone.  However, there are still some small tricks, that is, several writers from the Beiyang government who were in the American concession in Shanghai were invited to write "On the Shock of Allies" in the concession newspaper. These writers from the Beiyang period have now lost their jobs and income due to the rise of the Nanjing government.  The villa and the student mistress could hardly afford to support each other, so naturally he had no good impression of the Nanjing government. He hit it off with the American emperor and denounced various illegal activities of the Nanjing government in newspapers.

    For a political power, except for a few people who can not be corrupted by power, there are really few saints.  However, there are always exceptions, such as Duan Qirui in the Beiyang period, Lin Sen, Chairman of the Nanjing government, Bao Zheng in the Song Dynasty, and Hai Rui in the Ming Dynasty. These people are impeccable in their life styles.

    As for the current head of state, Lin Sen, he usually wears a robe and mandarin jacket, with white hair and a childlike face, a silver beard, a cane, and a pair of glasses. If others don't tell others, people who see him will only think that he is a kind, knowledgeable and cultivated old man.  That¡¯s all.  But after the Nanjing government annexed East Russia, this kind old man in the eyes of ordinary people suddenly became the supreme head of state of the world's largest country.

    Lin Sen, the supreme head of state of the world's largest country, lost his wife and refused to remarry. He had no children and did not buy any property. He only liked antiques and stones. However, because he was neither greedy nor possessive, he could not afford genuine items, so he only wanted to buy them.  A collection of fakes worth three to five yuan.  In politics, Lin Sen practiced rule by inaction, which simply means three nos: no expressing opinions, no attending banquets, and no writing notes.  That¡¯s what it¡¯s like to be a perfect person through the ages.

    Since Principal Jiang was forced out of office once, he has discovered that if he stands in the open, he will be attacked by all opponents. After realizing this, the principal will only serve as the chairman of the military committee when he comes to power again, and Lin Sen will only receive incense.  The Buddha who doesn't care about anything is on the table, and the two of them, one strong and the other soft, work well together.

    Lin Sen himself is a veteran of the Revive China Association, the Tongmenghui and the Kuomintang and the founding president of the Senate. No one really dares to say anything about him in this position. After all, Chinese people still pay attention to seniority.

    Because there is this eternal perfect man in front of him, and Principal Chiang is in the limelight due to his successive military victories, the pens that the US emperor is looking for in the concession can only attack some small fish and shrimps. The principal has never let go of the life and death of these people.  Passed in the eyes.  After reading the newspaper, he asked Dai Li to check whether it was true. If it was not written randomly, what should he do?

    The biggest fish caught by this group of writers is the current Executive Director Kong Xiangxi. The US intelligence agency has some evidence that Kong Xiangxi used power for personal gain, and handed it over to several concession writers to publish it in newspapers.  Now Kong Xiangxi's reputation was so bad that he could no longer serve as executive president. He had no choice but to resign as executive president and concentrate on arms and import and export trade with foreign countries.

    But someone has to be the executive dean. The principal thought that in the end he had to promote Sun Ke, the legislative dean. Sun Ke, the son of the former prime minister, had to take into account his father's reputation and naturally he would not dare to use his power for personal gain.

    Jilin, the only one among the three eastern provinces on land that has not yet been recovered, became a little anxious after the Dadonggou naval battle. It jointly recruited foreign divisions from Tsarist Russia and used artillery and air force superiority to bombard the Japanese positions.  The armored forces divided and surrounded the Japs, and a battle imitating a blitzkrieg killed the Japs in Jilin.

    Seeing messages like snowflakes coming from the frontier positions, Emperor Hirohito and the Kwantung Army Base CampI also know that I can¡¯t stay in Jilin any longer.  Naturally, the Japanese who were surrounded would not wait for reinforcements. The main force of the Japanese, led by the Third Division, broke out of the Central Army's loose encirclement and crossed the Yalu River back to the Korean Peninsula. Because the Central Army's aircraft and tanks pursued them so urgently that they even  The Yalu River Bridge was also blown up by planes.

    In order to cross the Yalu River, the Japanese fought for tires, door panels, wooden barrels and other useful tools for crossing the river, and even opened fire in order to survive.  Of course, high-level officials such as Emperor Hirohito and Wang Jingwei still had motor boats to ride on.

    When forcibly crossing the Yalu River, many Japs who had not grabbed the tires were washed away by the waves, but most of the casualties came from bombing and strafing by Central Military aircraft. There were countless dead, and a large number of floating corpses even blocked the outlet of the Yalu River.  Several days after the Japanese forcibly crossed the Yalu River, the water of the Yalu River was still red.  Some people even suggested that the Yalu River should be renamed the Yahong River to live up to its name.

    Both the Japanese base camp and Emperor Hirohito thought it would be safe after crossing the Yalu River. However, they did not expect that the Central Army, including the Foreign Legion, was chasing after them in a blink of an eye. The Japanese who fled all the way had already thrown away all weapons and ammunition that affected their load in order to outrun their companions.  He had to go faster, and the now powerless Japanese had no choice but to embark on the road to escape again.  This is already a crushing defeat, and the problem can no longer be solved by shouting a few slogans.

    A large number of Japanese soldiers were in a state of malnutrition for a long time and fell on the roadside due to overwork and vomiting blood.

    However, this does not include the Osaka Fourth Division. The elite members of the Osaka Fourth Division began to secretly board the train and retreat to North Korea in advance when they saw that the situation was not good. At that time, the Yalu River Bridge was still in use.  Without being bombed by Central Army planes, most of the Osaka Division miraculously returned to Korea.

    By the time the main force of the Japanese army retreated to North Korea in large numbers, the Osaka Division had already controlled Busan and Nagasaki, the two most important ports for returning home, and controlled several passenger and cargo ships to sell tickets to the general public.  Since the Fourth Division started as a businessman, the ticket for the final return trip was also very expensive - it was a one-off deal anyway, so naturally you could make as much as you could.

    A ship ticket back to the country in Busan and other places has been sold for a sky-high price of 1,000 to 3,000 yen - you must know that the Japanese stipulate that only North Korean dollars can be used in the country and not Japanese yen, but they leave the three eastern provinces first and resell the ship.  The Osaka division that sells tickets is also kind. If you don't have yen, pounds, dollars, francs, oceans, gold and silver jewelry, you can price them.

    There are also those who are good at water and want to use simple wooden boats and sampans to cross the strait. For these feats, the Osaka Fourth Division does not care. Anyway, the more ships there are in the past and the fewer remaining ships, the better the business of the Osaka Division -  ¡ªBecause at this point everyone just wants to go back, who dares to come back and compete with the Osaka Division for business.

    Changchun Puppet Manchukuo Imperial Palace.

    Hirohito ran away, taking only Wang Jingwei with him before leaving.  All the puppet Manchukuo members were ruthlessly abandoned by the Japanese. Among them were the puppet Manchukuo Emperor Xuantong Emperor Puyi and a group of puppet Manchukuo ministers, as well as rebel generals such as Wu Huawen and Li Fuhe.

    Snakes have their own paths, rats have their own paths. Seeing that the small tree covered by the Japanese was no longer enough to protect them from the wind and rain, everyone began to act like birds before the disaster was approaching, each looking for his own way.  Mom, everyone goes back to their homes.

    In the end, only a young eunuch named Li Xuesan (played by You Bayou, Three Theorems of Thermodynamics) was left by the puppet Manchukuo Emperor Puyi. Even the Queen Wanrong in the cold palace ran away with the adulterous guard, and she really became a loner.  As Puyi talks about every day now - the widowed has become an orphan.

    The young eunuch Li Xuesan was very open-minded at this time. He held a silver plate and said: "Your Majesty, how can there be an immortal dynasty in the world? Please be more open-minded."

    "Bold slave, what do you mean?" Pu Yi looked at the two rolls of three-foot white silk and two glasses of water and wine on the plate - this and the three-foot white silk must have been put together with poison such as crane crown red.  .

    The young eunuch Li Xuesan knelt on the ground and said: "Your Majesty, there are only two of us in the palace now. Even the cook has fled completely. I scooped this drink from the bottom of the wine vat. I am not afraid of talking to you, Long Live Lord."  He said that the Japanese army had already passed through Gongzhu Ridge in Siping, and another group of troops had passed through Jilin. The two groups of troops were not far from Changchun. I often hear people say that the emperor is guarding Sheji, so please make a decision early, slave.  Staying with you will leave your name in history."

    The last emperor did not dare to look at Bai Ling, the poisonous wine drinker, and asked, "Where are the defenders of Changchun?"

    The young eunuch Li Xuesan smiled bitterly and said: "Your Majesty, what time has it been? How can there be any garrison in Changchun? Yesterday early in the morning, when I went to take two chairs in the palace to change a bowl of porridge for Lord Long Live,  I did run into General Wu Huawen, but General Wu and his nephew, niece and daughter-in-law had already dressed up as farmers and were running to the countryside, and they didn't dare to recognize me."

    Puyi thought about it again, in the past two years, there have been a lot ofThe ministers who came from Tianjin died of illness, and some retired and returned to their hometowns. There were really not many old ministers left in Changchun.  Originally, Puyi had a younger brother, but in order to have more flowers and prevent the Aixinjueluo family from being taken over by the Japanese, he quietly went to Hong Kong with a few veterans.

    Thinking of this, Puyi grabbed the three-foot white silk and said a mantra that he often talks about recently: "The widow has become an orphan."

    Pu Yi, who was thinking about how to die, asked: "Is there still coal in the backyard?"

    The young eunuch Li Xuesan replied: "The good things in the palace and even the food that can be taken away have been taken away. Coal is so dirty and heavy that no one wants it. There are many in the backyard. It's just the iron pots in the palace.  They were all taken away by the cook, and even if the servant had coal, he couldn't make a fire to boil water for the long live master to cook."

    Thinking of Chongzhen¡¯s fate in the late Ming Dynasty, Xuantong Emperor Puyi felt a little more at ease: ¡°Well, take me to see him.¡±

    The young eunuch Li Xuesan led Emperor Xuantong to the backyard of the palace where coal was stored. There were hundreds of tons of coal here, which was enough to build up a hill. The pine tree in the center of the yard was mostly submerged by the coal mountain below.  But when you climb up the coal mountain, you can touch the branches of the pine trees.

    Under the guidance of the young eunuch Li Xuesan, Xuantong Emperor Puyi climbed up the coal mountain little by little. The young eunuch Li Xuesan served the Long Live Lord for the last time and hung the two people's white silk on the strong branches of the pine tree.

    Puyi grabbed Bai Ling tightly with both hands, already wrapped around his neck. His feet were trembling like chaff from the coal mountain, and he didn't take the last step for several minutes.

    When the young eunuch Li Xuesan saw this, he pushed Long Live Lord's body, sent Puyi into the air, and shouted: "Long Live Lord, don't worry, my servant will come soon."

    After the young eunuch Li Xuesan sent the long-lived master on his way, he wrapped a three-foot white silk around his body and jumped out. The two of them struggled on the pine branches for dozens of seconds before finally breathing their last breath.

    A few hours later, soldiers from the Central Army who arrived at the Puppet Manchukuo Palace discovered two corpses in the backyard. The head of the regiment responsible for the security of the Puppet Manchukuo Palace saw Xuantong¡¯s body and cursed: ¡°Take pictures, restrain yourself, it¡¯s an advantage for you.  "

    You must know that although the final fate of such figures who repeatedly claim to be emperor is the same whether they seize the living or the dead, the credit is different.

    Jin Batian, who is now the deputy commander-in-chief of the navy in Qingdao, is also very busy. Although no battleships were sunk in the Dadonggou naval battle, many ships were still damaged in the two-hour naval battle with the Japanese.  , including the Yanshan that was attacked by the kamikaze and some seriously injured ships, all have to be returned to the factory for repairs.

    So after the shipyard sent four brand-new Zhongshan-class battleships, the four most seriously injured Zhongshan-class battleships were towed back for repairs.  Of course, shipbuilding was not possible during the maintenance period. The original plan to add a dozen Zhongshan-class battleships before the arrival of the maritime coalition of Britain, France, and Italy also went bankrupt.  However, the speed of repairs is much faster than the construction of new ships. By then, there will be twenty-four brand-new Zhongshan-class battleships as the main ships to fight against the navies of Britain, France and Italy.

    This repair is not just about repairing the damaged areas. For example, cleaning up the attached marine organisms on the bottom of the ship can increase the speed of the ship. After cleaning, it is natural to paint toxic paint to prevent a group of marine parasites from reappearing in a short time.  It is also beneficial to remove scale from boilers and pipes and prevent boilers from exploding, as well as some simple modern modifications.

    When the British, French and Italian allied forces arrived in Mumbai, they received the news that the Japanese Combined Fleet and the Pacific Fleet were almost completely destroyed in the Battle of Dadonggou. In order to celebrate this event, the top brass of the British, French and Italian navies also held a small banquet in Mumbai.

    Although the Central Navy of the Nanjing government is an enemy, the Japanese Combined Fleet and the US Pacific Fleet are also potential threats. What is better than killing two birds with one stone, that is, killing three birds with one stone.  In order to annihilate the combination of the United Fleet and the Pacific Fleet, the Nanjing government's central navy must have been scarred and even out of shells.  Now we are waiting for the navies of Britain, France and Italy to pick the fruits. Although the three countries have indeed suffered a heavy financial loss this time in order to allow the little devils to send troops, it is worth all the efforts for future world hegemony.

    When the maritime coalition of Britain, France and Italy passed through the Johor Strait, the Nanjing government here also got the news, considering that this time it wanted to keep the enemy outside the country's borders and prevent the enemy fleet from shelling Taiwan, Guangzhou and other places.

    December 1, 1938.  The main fleet of the Central Navy (including 24 battleships) stationed in Weihaiwei, Qingdao, and Lianyungang rushed out and headed south to find the enemy fleet for a decisive battle.

    After the Central Army and Navy arrived in Taiwan to replenish fresh water and food, they still didn't know which way the Allied Forces of the Three Kingdoms were going to come. Who knew that at this time, news came from the French colony in Hanoi, Vietnam, that hundreds of armored ships of the Allied Forces of Britain, France, and Italy were here to replenish fresh water and food.  .  Chen Shaokuan was overjoyed after getting the news. He finally knew where the enemy was going. He immediately launched the Central NavyGo and fight the enemy at sea.

    According to the idea of ??the British, French and Italian coalition forces, after they went to cheer up the French bandits in Hanoi, they went to Hong Kong along the coast to cheer up the English bandits who were still stationed in Hong Kong. Then they bombarded Guangzhou and once again sent artillery shells from the civilized world to the citizens of Guangzhou.  Just like what they did during the two Opium Wars, they bombarded Guangzhou and then went all the way north to bombard Nanjing.  As for the Nanjing Central Fleet - the Nanjing government can be asked to hand over this dilapidated fleet at the negotiation table with the Nanjing government.

    Of course, if this dilapidated fleet has the courage to come out to fight, or even has the ability to fight, the British, French and Italian allied forces will not mind sending them to the bottom of the sea. The so-called bandit logic is that of course it is best if they can get it, but if they can't get it, then  No one can even imagine it.

    It¡¯s just that this plan, known as the greatest plan of the twentieth century, was shattered before the forward troops approached Macau, like a mirror hit by a hammer.  A formation of battleships as clean and neat as a hill on the sea came from the east, and the huge gun muzzle was already aimed at the battlecruiser Prince Hood at the front.

    The battlecruiser is a product of the World War I era. It continues to have the artillery power of a battleship to fight battleships, but also has the speed of a cruiser to capture ships smaller than its tonnage, so it is a thin-skinned design.  The theory at the beginning of the design was that it could outrun battleships, but it could also threaten battleships, so ships below battleships would naturally be ignored.  But it is still difficult to fight against the battleships.

    With firepower and speed, its protective capabilities will naturally be greatly reduced. The Emperor-class battleship capture type built by Britain for the Japanese was based on the battlecruiser.

    Seeing the fleet coming from the east without even saying hello, but with huge flames erupting from the muzzles, the British bandits on the Prince Hood shouted in unison: "Oh, no." (To be continued. Please search  Piaotian Literature, the novels are better and updated faster!)
