Republic of China: I am a great warlord, many children, many blessings

Hioki Masu knew that he could not gain the upper hand on this topic, so he said again: "Okay, today we will not talk about this historical issue, let's talk about how to negotiate a ceasefire.

I guess General Shen doesn't want to continue fighting with us.

Given the strength of our industrial base, it would be disadvantageous to you if we continue to consume at this rate.

It will drag down your General Shen."

Zhao Gang said: "You Japanese don't need to worry about this. We will fight you to the end even if we have to fight you ten or a hundred times."

Hioki Masu wished he could shoot Zhao Gang to death. He was so abominable.

There was absolutely nothing he could do.

Although, speaking of the industry as a whole.

Japan is stronger.

But Shen Hao has weapons and ammunition rewarded by the system.

Not true at all.

If the production capacity really cannot meet the demand, the worst that can be done is to find more women and sell them in the United States. We are not short of money.

With this confidence, Zhao Gang naturally did not back down.

Zhao Gang was so tough that Hioki Yoshi was speechless.

There was no way out. The military failure resulted in Hioki Yoshi having no say at the negotiating table.

(cgbc) The army can’t win, and the navy is also in trouble. It’s really frustrating.

The lack of overwhelming strength allowed Hioki Yoshi to make harsh remarks during the negotiations.

This feeling is really like a thorn in the throat, extremely frustrating.

This is something that Hioki Masu has never experienced since he came to China.

In the past, we negotiated with the Beiyang government.

As the Japanese representative, Hioki Masushi strolled leisurely during the negotiations without any pressure.

They could even face Beiyang officials with arrogance.

Even so, the Beiyang officials did not dare to turn against him.

However, facing Zhao Gang's determined face, Hioki Yoshi felt like he was facing a mountain. The pressure was so great that he had no way out.

At this time, my back was covered with sweat.

Even the rhythm of the conversation was disrupted.

After taking a deep breath and trying his best to regain his composure, Hioki said, "Mr. Zhao, if you start a war, the consequences will be very serious.

When we get to Shen Hao, we Japanese will launch an all-out attack. How long do you think Guangdong and Guangxi can hold out?

Two provinces against our entire country? "

Zhao Gang said angrily: "Even one province is larger than your Japan.

Our General Shen once said, "It is better to die with honor than to live in disgrace."

To protect our homeland from harm, we will do it willingly even if it means shedding our last drop of blood.

So what if he fails? As a soldier, it is his honor to die on the battlefield.

If you Japanese want to continue fighting, we will fight you to the end."

These words gave Hioki Masu a headache.

He never expected that the other party was even tougher than him.

It seemed that he wanted to fight more, which made Hioki Yoshi feel a little panicked.

The rhythm was completely crushed.

I totally lost my composure.

The other party was like a turtle shell, making it impossible for him to bite him.

I originally thought that if I used threats and inducements and then proposed my own conditions, the other party would definitely compromise.

Who would have thought that the other party wouldn't buy his tricks at all?

A direct head-on confrontation.

This result was not what she wanted.

So, Hioki said, "I'm afraid this is what Mr. Zhao thinks.

I don’t believe General Shen would be so impulsive.

The people of Guangdong and Guangxi are in dire straits."

Zhao Gang said calmly: "I can tell you responsibly that this is what our President Shen wants. We will not give up an inch of land and will defend it to the death!"

Hioki Masu clenched his fists. He wanted to say something, but he couldn't. He knew it was pointless for him to go down.

So he said, "Mr. Zhao, please say hello to General Shen for me. We will visit you again next time."

Zhao Gang said: "Remember, call me President"

Hioki Masu ignored him and turned away.

For the first negotiation, Hioki Yoshiki didn't even state the conditions before the negotiations failed, which made him feel frustrated.

We also know that if we cannot win on the battlefield, it will be difficult to have a say at the negotiating table.

Soon, Hioki Masu reported the situation here.

Shen Hao's attitude also made Japan angry.

They really annoyed Shen Hao and wanted to cut him into pieces, but they didn't have the ability to do so.

Since Shen Hao’s approach didn’t work, he turned to Yuan Shikai.

Zhao Gang also told Shen Hao the news of the negotiations.

Shen Hao would not pay any attention to Japan's idea of ​​a truce.

Shen Hao ignored it and built the shipyard in eastern Guangdong.

After all, Japan is now busy building warships, so Shen Hao must also hurry up.

We can’t let the Japanese get ahead of us.

At the same time, Shen Hao contacted American Minister Ryan again.

Ryan was very happy to receive Shen Hao's invitation.

When they came to Shen Hao's study again, Ryan said with a smile: "General Shen, no President Shen, congratulations on your great victory on the Wanwan battlefield.

It’s really amazing.”

Shen Hao smiled and said: "It's all just luck"

Ryan shook his head and said, "No, natural disasters are just luck, but this real record can only prove that you are very strong.

Japan is the number one military power in Asia, but it has suffered repeated losses at your hands. Your name is well-known throughout the world.

Especially after the battle of the Wanwan Strait, President Shen, you have become famous all over the world."

Shen Hao smiled and said, "Minister Ryan, I accept your compliment.

Okay, let’s not talk about this anymore. I came here this time to do a business with the United States.”

Ryan smiled and said, "Are you buying battleships?"

Shen Hao nodded and said, "Yes, this time we will not only buy battleships, but also a super dreadnought battleship. In short, we cannot be weaker than the Japanese Navy."

Ryan smiled and said, "Of course no problem"

Now, Britain, France, Germany and Tsarist Russia were fighting fiercely in the European war.

Japan, the strongest country in Asia, was also dragged into the quagmire.

Of course America is happy.

However, as a neutral party, the United States cannot openly sell its current battleships, submarines, and the like to the Allies.

But there is no problem at all if it is sold to Shen Hao.

Moreover, they are also optimistic about Shen Hao's strength.

Especially this battle, which destroyed two Japanese fleets at sea, is enough to show that the investment in Shen Hao was not wrong and would not be wasted.

Ryan said at this time: "President Shen, I have a request. I want to meet Captain Forrest Gump, the commander of the Wanwan Naval Battle. I hope President Shen can give me this convenience."

Shen Hao smiled and said: "Of course there is no problem with this, we can do it anytime."

448. Sichuan changes its coach, whether to fight or retreat

Ryan said happily: "President Shen, that's great. I also want to meet this legendary Captain Forrest Gump."

Looking at Ryan who was excited, Shen Hao's mouth corners slightly raised.

This guy probably wants to poach people.

The U.S. Navy is strong, but commanders with brilliant combat records like Forrest Gump are still very popular.

The key point is that Forrest Gump is a white American and naturally has a sense of trust.

However, Forrest Gump was summoned by Shen Hao, and his loyalty to Shen Hao was no less than that of Shen Hao, nor was he afraid of being seduced away.

Soon, under Shen Hao's arrangement, Ryan met Forrest Gump and the two had a very pleasant conversation.

Sure enough, it was just as Shen Hao expected.

Ryan offered Forrest Gump a generous offer in order to poach him.

However, Forrest Gump decisively rejected it.

This made Ryan look confused.

He couldn't understand why he refused?

What is even more incomprehensible is why Forrest Gump, an American, is willing to risk his life for Shen Hao.

Forrest Gump ignored this question and turned away.

This made Ryan look helpless.

After meeting Forrest Gump, Ryan did not play any pretense with Shen Hao.

Start discussing the purchase of super-dreadnought battleships right away.

"This Nevada-class battleship (BB-36) is our first batch of super-dreadnought battleships.

Construction began on November 1912, 11, and it was launched on July 4, 1914. It has not yet been officially commissioned, and its maiden voyage is still ongoing. It is definitely a new ship. "

"The traditional protection system of previous battleships was medium-thick armor, which could not defend against armor-piercing shells fired by the large-caliber guns of dreadnought battleships.

This and the naval battle between Captain Forrest Gump and Japan in the Wanwan Strait, President Shen should be most aware of the power of armor-piercing shells.

This Nevada-class super-dreadnought battleship is a major innovation in battleship protection design.”

"Our Nevada-class battleship adopts the "key protection" armor protection design concept.

On battleships, unimportant areas had reduced or no armor protection.

The important parts are given maximum armor protection.

This can be said to be a bold innovation that is unique in the world.”

“Of course, the heavy armor protection areas are mainly concentrated in key areas such as the main turret, engine room and command tower, and the defensive armor of the armored deck and ammunition depot is also strengthened.

It can be said that this is the most advanced concept.

Moreover, this Nevada-class ship is equipped with 10 356mm caliber main guns, two twin and two triple main gun turrets, arranged symmetrically at the bow and stern.

The reason we shoot like this is that we believe that future naval battles will be long-range artillery battles.

The power plant uses a completely oil-fired boiler.”

"Based on the lessons learned from the Russo-Japanese War, this class of ships has added a conical 305mm smoke path protection armor under the chimney, reduced the number of boilers and fully adopted oil, which can reduce the number of engine room personnel by half, at least about 200 people."

“At the same time, a crucial weight saving of approximately 500 tonnes was achieved.

President Shen should know what a reduction of 500 tons means.
