Back to the Republic of China as a commander

According to the relevant regulations of the National Assembly, the Senate and the Legislative Yuan successively voted on three proposals. The voting result for the "Case of No Confidence in the Military Commission of the National Government" jointly proposed by Sun Wen, Hu Hanmin, Wang Jingwei and others of the Kuomintang was: 35 votes In favour, with 140 abstentions and 418 against.The trust vote failed and ended in a fiasco.

As for Wang Zhenyu's "Proposal of the National Government Acting as the Central Government", the result of the vote was 510 votes in favor, 41 abstentions, and 42 votes against.From now on, the legal capacity of the central government in Beijing will not be recognized in the area under the jurisdiction of the national government. The national government will be the new central government. In all announcements, the pseudo-government will be used to refer to the Beijing government.

Finally, Wang Zhenyu proposed the "Declaration of War Against Japan". Because the hat of national righteousness was too big, this proposal full of nationalism was finally passed unanimously. From this moment on, the pattern of world history has undergone major changes. At least 20 years earlier, Sino-Japanese relations have entered a state of war.

For a while, all parties reacted differently. Of course, the first to get the news was the central government that had just been abolished.Yang Yuting was really the most diligent existence in the Feng Clan, and rushed to Ju Ren Tang to report to Zhang Zuolin as soon as he got the telegram.But Zhang Zuolin immediately jumped up and laughed loudly after reading the telegram: "That's good, that's good, I was afraid that he, Wang Wenzheng, wouldn't go to Shandong, but now they're coming to him, and then we'll look at Little Japan. Tell Sun Liechen and Zhang Jinghui to seize the time to take down Shanxi, and then wait for the Japanese to defeat the youth army in Shandong, Zhang Jinghui hurriedly led troops into Henan to take Wang Wenzheng's old nest Wuhan, and Sun Liechen led troops to Shaanxi and entered Sichuan."

Yang Yuting had no objection to Zhang Zuolin's words, this had been planned long ago, some of which were even made by himself.He just asked with some concern: "Then in Shandong, Zhang Zongchang and his plan to attack Xuzhou should be carried out?"

Zhang Zuolin slapped the table angrily and amusedly and said: "It's all over here, what a fart, let him get out of Shandong as soon as possible, so as not to be disturbed. Shandong is left to the youth army and the Japanese dog bite dog." !"

While in Tokyo, Japan, Prime Minister Hara Keiwa was surprised when he got the power-on from the South China National Government and asked Tanaka: "Tanaka-kun, what's going on? Why did such a situation happen? Could it be that the South China Government has already prepared and Is the Empire at war?"

Tian Zhongyi said with a very calm smile: "The people in China are always so angry and like to shout and kill. This has been proved during the Gengzi Rebellion more than ten years ago. That Lafayette Don't you declare war on the eight most powerful countries in the world at the same time, but the end result is to measure China's material resources and the favor of all countries. Your Excellency, Prime Minister, you are not a soldier, so you don't know how great the advantage of the Imperial Japanese Army is. First of all, we have the largest navy in Asia. This is something that the Chinese can’t catch up with. Their long coastline has no defenses. As long as the combined fleet of the empire is willing, we can be in Shanghai, Guangzhou, in short. Landing operations can be carried out at any seaport in China. As for Shandong, which is on the peninsula, it is in the direct radiation range of the combined fleet. On the other hand, there is no need for you to worry, His Majesty's loyal warriors will soon prove what kind of army is a world-class army..."

The most depressed person is almost Yan Xishan, the governor of Shanxi: "What is Chu Xiongfei doing? Why did you shoot? I was just dancing on the two eggs of Fengzhang and Nanwang, but now it's all right, and the first Japanese appeared." Three eggs. Let me dance on three eggs, the days to come will be bitter..."

And in Zhanjiang Port, Guangdong, Lieutenant General Chen Shaokuan, Minister of the Navy and Commander of the Navy, is lecturing the officers and men of the Navy's First Breakthrough Fleet and the First Submarine Formation.In fact, since the May 370th Movement caused the Shandong issue, five [-]-ton British-built "Haiqi" ​​class cruisers of the Navy, "Wuhan", "Nanjing", "Changsha", "Guangzhou", "Shanghai" and ten The [-]-ton domestic destroyer and two torpedo boat formations with twelve torpedo boats have already moved to Zhanjiang from Shanghai Wusong Military Port.On the point of breaking the fleet, Wang Zhenyu and Chen Shaokuan, the new head of the navy, have reached an agreement, that is, it is unrealistic to fight the Japanese combined fleet or cut off the Japanese maritime supply line, but cutting off Japan's trade routes to Southeast Asia is a little bit No problem.The information obtained by Wang Zhenyu also showed that the Japanese obviously underestimated China's will to resist, and they never even considered the issue that the Chinese navy would attack.That's right, the combined total tonnage of the entire fleet is only [-] tons, which is not as good as the two Japanese battleships. Such a fleet is estimated to be used by anyone to defend Wusong and prevent the United Fleet from going upstream to threaten Nanjing and Wuhan.It's a pity that in this life, because of the National Security Bureau and Wang Yaqiao, Japan's intelligence work against China is very ineffective. If they know that Jiangyin, Zhenjiang, and Wusong have built three extremely strong German-style navies to race and placed eight doors in each If the [-] mm caliber German-made naval heavy guns, the Japanese are probably not so nervous. . .

But on the use of submarine formations, Wang Zhenyu and Chen Shaokuan have a bit of a difference.According to Wang Zhenyu's point of view, the value of the submarine formation is to deal with the enemy's warships, so where are the enemy's warships?In Shandong!Then why hesitate, go directly to Shandong, and then wait for the Japanese combined fleet to die.

Facing Wang Zhenyu's self-proclaimed genius idea, Chen Shaokuan laughed very disdainfully: "Dear Chairman, you really think highly of these submarines, even if the Japanese fleet's anti-submarine capability is the last in the world, if they choose Escape, do you think the submarine can catch up with the speed of 11 knots?"

Wang Zhenyu didn't get angry, but he was very dissatisfied with Chen Shaokuan's arrogance in his heart, but he still asked very modestly on his face: "Then according to what you mean, how should our submarine force be used?"

Chen Shaokuan looked at the map without fear, and slid his hand from Shandong to directly point to the mouth of the Yangtze River: "It's right here, I have planned it all, relying on the fort, it is probably much easier to play one vote when the Japanese fleet bombards By then, it will not be so easy for the Japanese to escape.”

Wang Zhenyu frowned and said, "Then if Little Japan doesn't invade the Yangtze River, our submarine fleet will be useless? I've invested so much money and it's just a decoration?"

Chen Shaokuan sarcastically said even more disdainfully: "My chairman, I think you are more suitable to be a businessman rather than a soldier. The technical data of the submarine determines that it can only exist as a deterrent weapon that uses the weak to attack the strong. And From our point of view, the Yangtze River Basin is the lifeblood of our economy. It would be better if there is no war. The biggest role of the submarine formation is to throw it as the last trump card in case of war. Minimize losses."

Although Wang Zhenyu was unhappy, he could only nod his head and said, "That's the best thing to do. I'll let Gu Weijun and the others communicate with Britain, the United States and France, and try to prevent the southeast coast from becoming a warring area. The leaders of these ghosts here also invest a lot, especially Several American consortiums, I don't believe that these Yankees will not be in a hurry when we fight with the Japanese."

Sure enough, Michelle, the head of the Rockefeller Foundation's Shanghai Office, and the US Consul in Nanjing rushed to Cao's house overnight after Wang Zhenyu issued a declaration of war against Japan, and visited Wang Zhenyu who was planning to return to Wuhan the next day.

"Two respected American friends, thank you for your concern for China's peace. In fact, I also hate war. But there is no way. As you can see, it is not I who sent my army to Kyushu, Japan, but the Japanese They sent their troops to our Chinese Shandong for the reason of protecting the overseas Chinese. In my opinion, only democratically elected governments like the United Kingdom and the United States really care about the life and death of the overseas Chinese, while Japan, which emphasizes the selfless devotion of its citizens to His Majesty the Emperor When will the country really care about the life and death of their expatriates? So they are just doing the most barbaric things in the name of civilization."

Having said that, the American consul can't say much. He can only say that he will directly report everything that is happening in China to the United States.Compared with the official, Michelle, the business representative, has less trouble and scruples.You must know that Rockefeller, Morgan and other large American conglomerates have invested almost [-] million US dollars in China. In addition, they have also purchased government bonds of up to [-] million US dollars from the National Government.That is to say, if once the combined Japanese fleet appears at the mouth of the Yangtze River or the Nationalist government of China fails and collapses in the war, then the large consortia of the United States will have almost one billion dollars in bubbles, and such losses will be lost even if they are as huge as theirs. Fu also cannot turn a blind eye.

"Dear Wang, we are still working on many cooperation projects with China Development Corporation, and about two-thirds of the projects are concentrated in Shanghai, Suzhou, and Hangzhou. We are very worried whether the Japanese combined fleet will land at the mouth of the Yangtze River. Combat, I am afraid that will destroy our cooperation."

"Mr. Michelle, war is the ugliest thing in human beings, but the Japanese like this thing and strengthen it to us time and time again. As a partner, I don't want to drag peace-loving Americans into such a peace war." In the battle of the barbarians, but my strength is limited after all, the only thing I can do is once the real Japanese army appears in the above-mentioned area, I will command my army to fight to the end, and use my life to protect the safety of the personnel and property of the friendly countries."

Michelle was dumbfounded when he heard it. It’s the same as if he didn’t say it, but he didn’t know what to say. It’s not reasonable to let people give up the above-mentioned areas without resistance.Michelle nodded and said some nonsense before leaving. She must tell the big conglomerates in the United States about this terrible situation. . .
