Alchemy Greater China

Starting from Shanghai, you can attack in half a day!

"Master Liu, this is to encircle Wei and save Zhao! If we don't attack the British base, how can we lure them back? How can we save the navy's ships?"

Long Hao ordered someone to send the panic-stricken Liu Kunyi down, and then ordered: "National Defense Navy, get ready, the target is the British base in Ningbo... And here, don't be idle, let me be lively, let the damn concession go to hell Go, pass my order, on December [-]th, all the concessions in Shanghai will be opened, and there are no owner-owned things inside!"

On the morning of the [-]th, Long Hao issued a telegram to the world in Shanghai, exposing the British army's attack on the Nanyang Navy and the bombardment of Nanjing City. On behalf of the Alchemy Kingdom, he himself expressed unconditional support for Liu Kunyi's actions. The National Defense Force of the Alchemy Kingdom will advance and retreat with Liu Kunyi's Qing army.

"...At this time, please forget the fact that we are two countries. We are all sons and daughters of China, and we are all yellow-skinned and black-haired Chinese! We must say no to the brutal and domineering British!"

On the afternoon of the [-]th, the Shanghai local newspapers headed by "Shenbao" were taken over by a group of Chinese without braids. They were more professional, and they carried more advanced communication tools and media equipment. Just published the extra issue of the day and delivered it in the streets and alleys of Shanghai for free.

Within five days, these accounts with the ink smell still on them were delivered to the hands of almost every Shanghainese. Some people recited them and some explained them, so that the citizens could calm down from the panic.

On the [-]th, Long Hao announced the telegram again, this time.From the standpoint of the alchemy country, he expressed his doubts about the current power in Britain, that is, doubts about the legitimacy of Edward VII's succession.

Long Hao believes that Prince Edward's house arrest of Her Majesty the Queen is illegal and violates ethics and justice. All the overseas actions of the UK today.Both are considered to be a manifestation of Edward's ambition and restlessness, which is not normal.

In order to save the queen and support Victoria, Long Hao said that if the queen is not released for a day, the alchemy country will be in a state of hostility with the United Kingdom, and in the event of an armed conflict, the United Kingdom will be responsible for all consequences.

On the [-]th, an astonishing news came from the sea.

The six gunboats of the Nanyang Navy returned to Shanghai with many holes.Unexpectedly, the fourteen warships pursued by the British were all sunk, and none survived.

What is remarkable is that there are three ironclad warships flying the national flag of Alchemy that returned with the Nanyang Navy.

Before the world could recall, on the evening of the 1000th, the naval base of the British army stationed in Ningbo North was attacked, inside the port.The seven remaining British warships were sunk with hundreds of casualties.More than [-] British soldiers in the base were also captured.

Needless to say, the one who led this attack was also the navy of the Alchemy Kingdom!

On the [-]th, the "Alchemy Express", which controls the Shanghai newspaper industry, published a morning paper, which posted a photo of an unclear British base being bombed... This time, five warships of the Alchemy Kingdom were responsible for the meritorious service, and the national flag was flying.Corresponding to this is the fall of the Union Jack in the port.

……

Ever since he occupied Shanghai, Long Hao's actions have not stopped for a moment, and the actions he made one after another are all big moves that make the world tremble and shake three times!

Whether it is invading the concession or attacking the British base.Or the rescue of the only six remaining "single seedlings" of the Nanyang Navy... Every news in it is enough to make people ponder for several days, or shock them for several days.

Because Long Hao's movements were too fast, until now, both the Qing government in Beijing and His Majesty Edward VII in England seemed to be hoarse and lost their voices, unable to make any useful sounds.

On the contrary, several American newspapers shouted: Be careful, after the wolves of the East took a bite out of America, they are now crossing the Pacific Ocean to disrupt the order of East Asia again!

Long Hao just smiled disdainfully at the argument of shouting 'Wolf is coming', then pressed his palm, and issued another order that surprised everyone.

On the [-]th, all the concessions in Shanghai were invalidated, and the property inside was deemed to be illegal property. All legal Shanghai citizens can go and confiscate it!

If Long Hao's previous actions were only aimed at the United Kingdom, then this order now directly offended all the great powers of all countries!

How many concessions are there in Shanghai?

Anglo-American law, accounting for more than half!

How many belongings are there?

It is simply countless, it is better than a treasure house!

"Today, one day earlier than expected, hehe!"

After Long Hao gave this order, he lay down in the chair and rubbed his forehead, then said with a smile, "Do you think my actions were too aggressive? I just got out of the United States, and now I have offended you in China." More than half of the great powers in Europe! Others must think I am crazy!"

"Master, there must be your reasons for doing things!"

"Yes, I don't think it's too much! Shanghai is obviously our land, so what are those concessions? Hmph, we are taking back what belongs to us, what's wrong?"

Xiao Yu and Xiao Ke, wearing zss-modified cheongsams, with enchanting bodies and lotuses at every step, came out of the darkness, rubbing Long Hao's shoulders and back, while comforting them softly.

Yes, as Liu Kunyi guessed, since the expansion of the Nanyang Navy, Long Hao has planned all kinds of things today.

He needs to occupy Shanghai in a legitimate way, because only by controlling Shanghai can his overseas goods and troops have a foothold, and can be smoothly imported into China and change China.

Now is the best time. The European powers have been involved in the war of the Three Emperors Alliance, and the British navy deployed in the Far East is the weakest. At the same time, its own submarine force has just been formed. The blade is thirsty for blood, and just needs a victory to show its strength and show its muscles.

Under the ebb and flow of the strength of the enemy and ourselves, Long Hao made the previous series of big moves that made people exclaim that he was crazy!

The shipwreck on '11.20' was planned by Long Hao. With the secret help of his sapphire dragon boat, the provocative British ships were doomed.

On '11.29', the Chinese and British hundreds of ships battled. Although the Nanyang Navy had newly purchased gunboats, its overall strength was still several grades lower than that of the British Navy.However, under Long Hao's secret push, an ending that hurt both sides had been written into the script long before the war started.

After that, since the war started.In order to avoid crimes, or to save Emperor Guangxu a spark of force outside the capital, Liu Kunyi had to cooperate with Long Hao to mobilize the Qing army and approach Shanghai from land.

However, every time Liu Kun got on the 'boat', he couldn't help himself, because the helm of this 'boat' was Long Hao, and the 'boat' would stop and go.It can only be decided by Long Hao, Liu Kunyi no longer has the slightest right to speak.

Next, a series of events occurred in which Shanghai was captured, the concession was swept away, and the British naval forces stationed in China were wiped out!

In just over ten days, Shanghai, China has become the focus of the world!

Great attention!

Perhaps, the third Sino-British war.It's about to start here...

Back to December [-]th.

With Long Hao's order, the concession in Shanghai has of course become a fragrant momo.Think about it, going in to get things without taking responsibility, presumably because of the poverty of the people of the Qing Dynasty and the degree of hatred for foreigners...Shanghai's concession will soon be flooded by endless crowds?

However, this time, Long Hao miscalculated a bit.

Because, the citizens of Shanghai are very fond of this 'big pie' that fell from the sky.Doesn't seem very interested.

After hearing the news, Long Hao's face remained unchanged, he just stood up and said to Xiaoyu Xiaoke: "Oh, interesting... let's go. Go to the scene and see what's going on?"

Both Xiao Yu and Xiao Ke admired Long Hao very much, and said in their mouths: "Shanghai people have a good relationship with foreigners? We don't want to pick up cheap things for nothing. Such high quality, hehe, we have to study hard. Go back and teach our people as a case study."

Then, he covered his mouth and followed Long Hao.

Based on the knowledge of the two of them, this sentence is naturally ironic, so they are also very curious, how did this 'not keen' come about?

The Bund in Shanghai has an incomparably beautiful scenery. On a five-story building in the French Concession, Long Hao carried a pair of beauties and stared downstairs.

Downstairs are two distinct groups of people, densely packed and numerous in number, one with braids and one without braids.

Obviously, those without braids belonged to the Alchemy Defense Force, while those with braids were Shanghai citizens who had heard the news and came to watch the excitement.

He actually said that he would give away the things in the concession for free!

Although the shrewd and experienced Shanghai citizens will not believe this kind of statement, it does not prevent them from running over to see what happened.

Observe first, withdraw if there is danger, and go up if there is no danger... Most people have such wishful thinking in their stomachs.

The sun was shining high, and the two groups of people looked at each other across a vacuum as if they were cross-eyed. However, although the sweat was looming on each of their heads, no one moved first.

There is a market for the phrase "shooting the top bird with a gun" and letting the Central Plains go overseas.

On the National Defense Forces side, the team leader is called Sun Renjun. He is Zhou Bodang's right-hand man. He stood out in the Canadian Aboriginal Liberation Movement, and his rank is not low. This time, he returned to China to attack Shanghai.

Regarding the manpower adjustment of the army, Long Hao didn't care too much, but he understood Long Bo's intentions: the old butler had committed an old problem again. The risk, then, would be to suppress him, or promote his men to play checks and balances.

Therefore, the best candidate for the commander of the attack on Shanghai should have been Zhou Bodang, but Long Bo resisted all opinions on the board of directors and established Sun Renjun in the name of 'training newcomers and promoting the youth of the National Defense Forces and Security Department'. Army commander for the Wehrmacht's operations in China.

Sun Renjun can be favored by Uncle Long, naturally he has two talents. He is only in his early 30s, but he has already accumulated meritorious service and has become Zhou Bodang's right arm. A brilliant head.

Iron-blooded and cunning generals like this are treasures in any army in ancient and modern China and abroad, let alone in the Alchemy Defense Force, which lacks talents.

No, facing the stalemate in front of him, Sun Renjun had already begun to roll a pair of small eyes, trying desperately to find a solution.

The order he received was: Before noon on the [-]th, no matter what, the residents of Shanghai must be allowed to enter the concession to take away the things belonging to foreigners in the concession.

Sun Renjun originally thought that this task was very simple, but judging from the current situation, if no changes were made, these timid Shanghai citizens would probably watch the sunset without moving their nests.

As a general.Sun Renjun quickly figured out a way. He summoned the messenger and gave a few instructions in a low voice. Then, the order was passed on, and the soldiers of the National Defense Army changed their queues.Stepping on loud leather boots and carrying a pitch-black spear, a large open space was left in the direction facing the Shanghai citizens. Not long after, more than a dozen foreigners were tied up and escorted up.

It turned out that Sun Renjun ordered people to fetch the prisoners just now, and these dozen or so people were all extravagant figures in the British Concession.There are men and women, aged between 60 and [-], who are usually noble and incomparable, but now, they are all trembling like quails.

Sun Renjun felt contemptuous for a moment, then took a big speaker connected to a long wire, walked to the front, and said loudly: "Fathers and folks. I am an officer of the Alchemy Kingdom. Although I have fallen overseas, my chest What beats inside is still a red hot Chinese heart! You and I are absolutely on the same side!"

When Sun Renjun said this, the loudspeaker suddenly buzzed. The loud noise and ear-piercing decibels made the nearest Shanghai citizens back away.He looked at the big guy in the officer's hand with a terrified face.

what is this?

How can people's words be magnified so many times?

Is it something for foreigners?

It’s no wonder that these Shanghai residents don’t know electric horns. Historically, the principle of this thing was invented long ago, and the real thing was also tinkered with in the laboratory in 1877, but due to the lack of three-stage vacuum tubes and signal amplification equipment.Therefore, the industrialized mass production of electric horns was not gradually popularized until 1930.

However, Long Hao has the geek Tesla, and Tesla often has the little angel Seagate to remind him, and he has some weird dreams at night... So, in the past year or so, he has really conquered some The problem, no, the electric horn connected to the wire is what he did when he was studying alternating current, and he made this thing more than 30 years earlier than history.

This time when the National Defense Forces entered China, they brought several of them with them. Sun Renjun was originally planning to use them on the open battlefield, but unexpectedly, the first time he opened his business, it fell on this occasion.

After all, not everyone has the magical skill of a lion's roar like Long Hao's. The amplified electric speaker is very practical.

Sun Renjun patted the electric horn, and it buzzed for a while. Finally, he didn't lose the chain and returned to normal, so he continued: "Ahem, everyone, we didn't enter Shanghai to embarrass you! The cause and effect, If you have read the newspapers of the past few days, or heard people talking about them, you should know that we followed the governor of Liangjiang, Mr. Liu, to capture the British who intend to capture Nanjing and destroy the Nanyang Navy!"

"We are not invaders, so we won't do you any harm! However, the British made a mistake and refused to admit it, so they will be punished! Do you know how many times the British beat us in total? Hehe, even the city of Beijing was burned by them! This time, we just retaliated with an eye for an eye, let them spit out what they took from us! Don’t feel guilty!”

"Everyone, this time it was discussed by His Majesty Wang Hao and Governor Liu. All the things in the concession will be released to everyone, and you will be allowed to carry them for a whole day! As long as you can move the things inside, we will never Stop it! Ladies and gentlemen, why are you still hesitating about such a good opportunity? Do you know that if you wait for these foreign reinforcements to come and negotiate terms with Governor Liu, this good thing will be gone!"

Sun Renjun's words were full of emotion, and the sound amplified by the electric speakers surpassed the crowds of people... Once the news of "passing this village, there is no such shop" was revealed, thousands of people in Shanghai across the street Sure enough, there was a commotion among the citizens.

Money touches people's hearts, this group of people is finally moved!

Sun Renjun put down the electric horn and smiled, feeling good about himself.

It seems that bewitching people's hearts, especially bewitching such a large number of people, and influencing their actions is a very fulfilling thing.

However, Sun Renjun still underestimated the courage of the Shanghai citizens. In other words, they have lost the courage to resist and go crazy because they have lived under the shadow of the high pressure of foreigners for a long time!

These can be glimpsed from their low whispers after the commotion.

"Hey, are you going?"

"Go to hell, don't you see that everyone is not moving?"

"That's right, Nong's head is showing off, anyway, Ala is not suitable for this early bird..."

"That's right, if the higher-ups negotiate peace with the foreigners, and they settle accounts after the fall, anyone who goes in and takes things will be punished by the Yizu!"

"Oh right, then Allah won't move, let's see and talk..."

Among the hundreds of whispers, the turmoil quickly calmed down, like a stone falling into the sea. Although it slammed and splashed, there was no more sound after that.

This result made Sun Renjun very disappointed, his cheeks turned red, and he was a little embarrassed to step down.

However, the Shanghai citizens on the opposite side still did not leave. Instead, after discussing, they stared at Sun Renjun, his troops, and the British who were thrown to the ground with a pair of dead fish eyes.

This look is very reminiscent of the carnivorous vultures in Tibet.

Sun Renjun frowned, and said in his heart: It seems that we have to use planb to take a risk!

"Fathers and folks, I know what you are worried about!"

Sun Renjun picked up the electric horn again and yelled: "Isn't it just that the officials above will be forced by the pressure of foreigners to turn victory into defeat and give away what they have won? Think of some heroes who killed the enemy bravely as Is the scapegoat tied up and sent to foreigners? Don’t worry, this kind of mess will never happen in the army of our alchemy country. If you don’t believe me, please open your eyes and take a good look at our struggle against the British. determination!" (To be continued...)

However, due to the clean net action and the editor's notice, the historical text cannot be written beyond 1911. (Of course, the main reason is that the grades of this book are too bad.)

Therefore, the speed is accelerated, please bear with me if it is not reasonable.
