“In addition, if Japan attacks us, there are other factors to consider.
Britain, France, the United States, and Tsarist Russia will all take the opportunity to join in, and even Germany may turn its guns against us.
Why do you say that? Why did Germany fight against Britain, France and Russia?
On the one hand, it was because of the conflicts between their countries, and on the other hand, it was because of the unequal distribution of the world's colonies.
If we start a war at this time, we will likely suffer their wrath and the Eight-Nation Alliance will happen again.
I suggest that we can attack Japan, but definitely not now.
We can’t afford the consequences.”
“The Japanese Army only has about 300,000 troops.
But the Eagle Country has more than 100,000 troops in India and can recruit more than one million Indian soldiers at any time.
There are also troops in Hong Kong. Not only that, there should be troops stationed in Myanmar and Laos.
I think it’s better to think twice before doing anything.
Once our mineral resources are blocked, all supplies will stop and we will just have to wait for death.”
After hearing this, everyone felt that it seemed to make sense.
Shen Hao's passion also cooled down.
"General Ding is right. If we want to fight Japan, now is definitely not the time," Chu Yunfei said.
337. Take a Concubine When You Feel Pressure
Hearing this, Shen Hao understood in his heart that it was definitely unrealistic to fight Japan now.
But he was still unwilling to give in. After all, his hatred for Japan made Shen Hao easily impulsive.
Shen Hao also understood that the gap in strength was still too big.
The Qing Dynasty taken over by the Beiyang government was just an agricultural civilization, while Europe was an advanced industrial civilization.
He has the strength he has today because of the system.
Shen Hao was self-aware of this. Without the system, Shen Hao felt that he could only be a branch director at best.
Even if he was asked to be the county magistrate, Shen Hao would not go back.
Shen Hao really didn't think he had the ability to do so. He might be killed by Huang Silang one day.
Another point is that it took Japan 1868 years of national development to achieve its current strength after the Meiji Restoration in .
What’s more, there was Cixi, the scapegoat, who gave money to the Japanese during the Sino-Japanese War of 1894-1895.
This gave the Japanese the strength to rise.
The development of others has taken decades of hard work across the country, so Shen Hao certainly cannot catch up with it in just two years.
If it was a one-on-one fight, Shen Hao was confident that he could beat Japan, but the key was that there were too many people holding him back, making it difficult for Shen Hao to move freely.
You have to know that in World War I, Britain dispatched nearly 10 million troops.
Shen Hao was not afraid of the Japanese, but he was afraid that Britain would suddenly intervene.
After all, there is only a river between Hong Kong and eastern Guangdong.
Britain's navy and army are stationed opposite, and Britain can also mobilize troops from India at any time to support Hong Kong.
The First World War broke out in 1914, lasted for four years, and involved 34047 countries and 15 billion people.
The war spread to Europe, Asia, Africa, Oceania and other places, and the military and civilian casualties in the participating countries reached more than 3000 million.
Among them, in the First World War, the British Army and its Commonwealth Army were undoubtedly an important Allied force in the war.
The Indian Army that fought between 1914 and 1918 was four times the size of Australia, New Zealand, Canada, South Africa and the Caribbean combined.
During the more than four years of war, the British army deployed a total of 950 million troops, of which 130 million were Indian troops, which was undoubtedly an important force in the British army.
The sun never sets is not just boasting.
Li Yunlong frowned and said, "I really can't bear to just endure it like this."
Kong Jie said: "Yes, it is unacceptable that such a great country could be messed up by a small devil."
Shen Hao said: "If I want to deal with the Japanese, I must ensure one thing at present.
That is, Britain, France, Germany and the United States will not join this battle.
As long as we make sure they don't fight, we can go all out to deal with the Japanese.
Even if the Japanese occupy Qingdao, they only have 40,000 to 50,000 people. Once we surround them, they will be like dumplings in a pot and they will not be able to escape. "
Hearing this, everyone nodded.
Therefore, the prerequisite for dealing with Japan is to wait until the United States, Britain, France and other countries are all involved in World War I and the fighting becomes intense. That would have to be after 1916, when Yuan Shikai died.
Everyone present is not a hot-blooded young man, and will not rush into anything without thinking. They must consider the overall situation before doing anything.
"Although I know this, I still feel aggrieved," Chu Yunfei sighed;
Shen Hao thought for a moment and said, "Although we cannot fight the Japanese openly, we can destroy their manpower, but doing so will be very risky."
Li Yunlong asked in confusion: "What do you mean?"
"Let Japan and Germany fight first, we will secretly support Germany, and our submarines will not be exposed.
Japanese warships can be attacked from underwater.
Destroy one, earn one.
Commander Ding had said this before.
The German Asiatic Squadron stationed in Qingdao was worried about being blockaded, so the fleet commander Count von Spee led the two battleships of the fleet, the Scharnhorst and the Gneisenau.
As well as several light cruisers and destroyers, they left Qingdao and entered the Pacific Ocean.
But no one knows where they went or whether they will come back.
We can totally use wolf pack tactics in their name.
First destroy Japan's submarines, then destroy Japan's cruisers and destroyers.
The battleship's armor is too thick, and the current submarine's combat capability is limited and it is not possible to carry out a successful sneak attack, so keep it for now.
But they had no choice but to rely on the battleships left by the Japanese. Although the battleships had strong firepower, they could be sunk by slowly wearing them down.
But if that happens, we will have to abandon these submarines."
Speaking of this, Shen Hao suddenly remembered that Count Spee was very famous in history and led to a famous guerrilla war in the history of naval warfare.
The Spee fleet encountered several encirclements by Eagle Country warships along the way, but they broke through the siege and sank many Eagle Country warships, becoming famous in one battle.
"General, I think this method of making a feint to the east and attacking in the west is a good one and can be implemented."
"No, we should first make some calculations to see if the plan is likely to be exposed. We can't put ourselves in danger."
“Yes, I think so too.”
“But once the battle starts, these submarines will not be able to return to eastern Guangdong and will have to fight alone.
We also cannot allow them to have any contact with us," Ding Wei said;
Shen Hao nodded and said: "If these submarines fight in the name of the German Spee Fleet.
That means that this fleet can only act as a guerrilla force from now on, and we cannot provide them with any supplies.
That also means that this fleet can only be in the name of the German Spee Fleet. Isn't it a bit risky to do so?"
"Yes, it's a big risk, General. You should consider it carefully."
This meeting lasted the entire night, and Shen Hao was exhausted.
In the end, Shen Hao still had to make up his mind and think about it.
Shen Hao finally realized what it meant that the greater the strength, the greater the responsibility.
Once an order is given, if the decision is wrong, it will be a devastating blow.
It will cause tens or even millions of people to suffer.
They will die because of Shen Hao's decision, so Shen Hao is also Alexander.
Although Shen Hao was a rich second-generation in his previous life, to be frank, he was just an ordinary person, who was just a little richer in material terms, but there was nothing outstanding about him.
Shen Hao is self-aware that he has reached this high position now, and it is all thanks to the system. Shen Hao himself does not have the ability to do this.
Without these death warriors rewarded by the system, Shen Hao might not be able to control these troops.
Under tremendous pressure, Shen Hao was confused and did not dare to make a decision easily.
Of course, the huge pressure also gave Shen Hao great motivation. Originally, Shen Hao planned to take in concubines as the opportunity came, but now he had to speed up his pace of taking in concubines.
Shen Hao felt uneasy because he didn't have the strength to crush his opponent.
If the outside world knew what Shen Hao was thinking, they would probably be speechless.
In just two years, Shen Hao's development has been so rapid that it has surpassed the level of ordinary people's understanding and completely broken through history.
Still not satisfied.
Even the Japanese had to go through decades of development and plundering to achieve their current success.
Even though the British Empire is so powerful, all these resources were plundered from all over the world.
Today, the United States, the United States, and Germany are all researching internal combustion engines.
Change the way energy is used.
Whoever masters the new internal combustion engine first can increase the speed of the warship and become invincible.
Moreover, although we have airplanes now, most of them are only used for reconnaissance, and the era of bombers has not yet arrived.
After Shen Hao rested for a day, he called Bai Xiuzhu and her cousin Wang Yufen.
At present, Shen Hao has not taken out Bai Xiuzhu’s red pill, so he is not in a hurry.
But now Shen Hao thought about it.
So Shen Hao didn't say too much nonsense, but smiled and said: "I plan to hold a wedding for the two of us tomorrow, what do you think?"
Bai Xiuzhu's beautiful eyes flashed with shyness and expectation, and she nodded and said, "I have no objection either. My brother and sister-in-law are here too, so I'll just follow Brother Hao's wishes."
Wang Yufen said happily: "I have been looking forward to this day for a very long time. As long as you marry my cousin, I will do ideological work on the three sisters of the Jin family.
The eldest, Taoist Jin, is married and has a daughter who is 8 or 9 years old. Do you want this?"
Shen Hao said: "Okay, you arrange it."
Now that he is eager to complete the task, Shen Hao doesn't want to care about so many things.
Wang Yufen chuckled. She now had a perverted thought in her mind and wanted to drag the daughter of the Jin family into the water.
In particular, when the three daughters of the Jin family saw that she was following Shen Hao, their expressions were full of shock and disbelief.
Wang Yufen felt very happy when she thought that the three sisters of the Jin family would all become Shen Hao's women.
Jin Daozhi has been abandoned by her husband and is no different from a widow. It is a favor to Shen Hao that he accepts her.
This is not difficult. Wang Yufen believes that she can convince Jin Daozhi just by saying it casually.
Jin Meili was born a concubine's daughter. She was well-behaved and obedient, so it was easy to communicate with her.
On the contrary, Jin Minzhi, a top student who had studied abroad, had no idea what he was thinking.
338. Why is your daughter here too?
Jin Minzhi is a bit difficult to deal with. She has her own opinions even when studying abroad, and she has her own ideas about the other one.
However, with Jin Ruizhi's help, it shouldn't be a big problem.
After coming out of Shen Hao's office, Wang Yufen came to Jin Daozhi's room and watched Jin Daozhi telling stories to his daughter again.
Seeing this, Wang Yufen smiled slightly and placed the banana in her hand in front of the two girls.
Looking at the golden bananas, Jin Daozhi's daughter was very surprised.
Bananas are very expensive these days and most people can't afford them.
It's not just expensive in the south. In Beijing, fruits like bananas are ridiculously expensive, including the shipping costs. Even the Jin family doesn't eat them often. They are too luxurious.
Jin Daozhi said hurriedly: "Yufen, this is too precious."
