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

Hearing Kamio Yuko's reaction, A-Gump paused, turned around and said excitedly: "Yes, a man who knows the times is a hero. You made a wise decision."

Immediately, Forrest Gump sent someone to bring Kamio Mitsuomi to the island and handed him over to Zhou Weiguo.

A-Gump wanted to report to Shen Hao.

When Shen Hao learned that Kamio Mitsuomi had been captured, he was a little surprised. It was really a pleasant surprise.

However, without the destroyer equipped with radar this time, it would not be certain that the fish could be caught.

Shen Hao also agreed with Forrest Gump's method.

Let Kamio Mitsuomi surrender.

This is the only way to take Qingdao with the least losses.

Under Zhou Weiguo's surveillance, Kamio Mitsuomi wrote a letter of persuasion for surrender and dropped it to the Japanese position by plane.

When Japanese garrison Major General Jiro Oda received the letter, he did not believe it at all.

Can not accept.

When Jiro Oda saw Mitsuomi Kamio standing in front of the position through a telescope, he had to accept this reality.

So he snorted coldly and ordered to open fire.

"General, the person facing us is Lieutenant General Kamio Mitsuomi. Firing will hurt the Governor-General," a colonel said anxiously.

Oda Jiro was unmoved and said: "He has surrendered and chosen to surrender. He betrayed the emperor and is no longer our governor."

The others looked at each other, and many were tempted to surrender.

The governor had been captured, and they were low on ammunition.

Moreover, the opponent's firepower was too strong.

One third of them have died.

A large number of wounded people are waiting for treatment.

Surrender is not impossible.

Some people wanted to surrender, while others felt that fighting to the death was what a soldier should be capable of.

But the commander-in-chief includes two major generals, not just Jiro Oda.

The previous commander was Mitsuomi Kamio, but now there is no commander-in-chief, and conflicts arise. Who is the leader?

Many of Kamio Mitsuomi's direct subordinates at the scene chose to surrender.

Those who were not direct descendants of Kamio Mitsuomi chose to wait and see.

The problem is that they are unable to contact Japan now, and they are also in despair.

For a moment, the entire command fell silent, and no one could convince anyone else.

After waiting for more than half an hour, Zhou Weiguo did not see any intention of the Japanese army to raise the white flag.

Said to Kamio Mitsuomi: "It seems that your order has lost its effect"

Kamio Mitsuomi felt relieved. It would have been a shame for him to order the surrender, but not surrendering gave him some comfort.

But there is still some disappointment. After all, military orders are as strong as mountains, but now they are useless.

Zhou Weiguo was too lazy to waste time talking to him and directly ordered: "Since the Japanese won't surrender, then beat them into surrender.

Concentrate all artillery fire and fire at the Japanese high ground."

"Yes, Commander."

With Zhou Weiguo's order, countless artillery shells streaked across the night sky and began to attack.

When Forrest Gump learned that the Japanese army chose to resist, he also ordered the ship's guns to open fire.

The loud rumbling sound resounded throughout the heaven and earth.

The entire Japanese position was covered by artillery fire and flames were everywhere.

Thick black smoke hung over the sky.

When the people living near Qingdao saw this, they were not afraid, but applauded.

After all, we are fighting against the Japanese devils.

Another two hours of non-stop bombardment.

The Japanese positions have become riddled with holes.

The combined bombing from land, sea and air directly destroyed the Japanese army.

Zhou Weiguo looked through the telescope and saw the corpses of the Japanese soldiers lying all over the ground. He immediately ordered: "Charge in groups of three, with heavy machine guns providing cover. Capture the Laoshan position within an hour."

"Yes"

At the same time, British Minister to the Kingdom, Sir John Jordan, met with Shen Hao.

Shen Hao knew exactly what Zhu Erdian was coming for.

488. Threat from the British Minister

However, Shen Hao did not receive Zhu Erdian, but asked Zhao Gang to receive Zhu Erdian at the previous Guangdong East Governor's Office.

Just like receiving the Japanese Minister Hioki Masu.

When he saw Zhao Gang, Jordan's face was full of British arrogance.

"Why didn't your President Shen come? He's the one I wanted to see."

Zhao Gang ignored him and said directly, "I wonder why Minister Jordan came to see the president?

The president is busy with his work and has no time to see you."

Zhu Erdian's face immediately turned grim.

"Your President Shen may be young, but he's quite arrogant.

Even your President Yuan would not dare to neglect me like this.

This is the first time in the world that a British ambassador has been treated with disrespect—"

Zhao Gang sneered, “Really? Germany seems unconvinced.

Germany alone can defeat you, Britain. I don't know why you are so arrogant.

Our President Shen has a lot of chickens every day, and you can’t see him if you don’t have a high enough rank.”

Jordan's face looked grim, especially when Germany was mentioned, which made him even more dissatisfied.

He said coldly: “Mr. Zhao, you must be responsible for what you said.

To offend me is to offend our British Empire."

Zhao Gang said disdainfully: "You are worthy? Even if you offended Britain, what can you do? If you don't accept it, let's fight."

Zhu Erdian was immediately choked by these words.

He never expected that Zhao Gang would be so strong.

This made him feel a little unbelievable.

Although Jordan was the minister to Beiyang, no one dared to treat him like this.

But Jordan didn't dare to make a big fuss. After all, Britain had been dragged into the quagmire of war by Germany and couldn't extricate itself.

I don't want to offend other forces.

Although Shen Hao is not the head of state yet, his strength is comparable to that of Japan, which forces them to be vigilant.

Jordan was not qualified to ask Britain to go to war for him.

Today, Britain no longer has sufficient capabilities to open up a battlefield in Asia.

Not to mention Britain, even other Allied powers disagreed.

Shen Hao's unexpected rise made Britain very vigilant, so they just wanted to let Minister Jordan scare Shen Hao and stop him from taking action against Qingdao.

They cannot allow Shen Hao to continue to develop, as this is not in their interests.

Once Shen Hao becomes bigger and stronger, the direct threat will be to their colonies such as Hong Kong and the concessions.

This is certainly not what they want to see.

Originally, in Jordan's mind, as long as he stepped forward, under the strong pressure from Britain, Shen Hao would obey and stop the war directly.

But this time the result was something Zhu Erdian had never expected. Shen Hao's attitude was so domineering that he did not give him any face at all, making him lose face for a while.

Zhu Erdian suppressed his anger and said coldly: “Mr. Zhao, your attitude can easily cause trouble.

Can you really represent President Shen?

If we become enemies with the UK, the consequences will be very serious."

Zhao Gang said angrily: "Then give it a try. We are not made of clay."

Zhu Erdian clenched his fists. Zhao Gang's attitude made him feel a little overwhelmed.

Threats are no longer necessary.

Zhu Erdian said: "Mr. Zhao, our British Royal Navy has many main battleships and troops in its military bases in Asia.

We also have the Indian colony, which can recruit a million soldiers at any time. Are you sure you want to break off relations with us?"

Zhao Gang's eyes were firm and he did not retreat at all.

“Can I understand this as a threat from the UK?

If we see it as a threat, we will see Britain as an enemy.

We will deal with our enemies at all costs.

We will blockade all sea areas like Germany did. I don’t know if Jordan can bear the consequences.”

When these words came out, Zhu Erdian was shocked.

My mind went blank. I couldn't believe it. Where did Zhao Gang get the confidence from?

Then they thought of the intelligence they had obtained that Shen Hao had at least twenty submarines, more than they had in Britain.

There are six more battleships and one super dreadnought battleship.

The strength of this navy is already one-third of that of the Eagle Country.

It is absolutely impossible for the Eagle Country to mobilize one-third of its navy in Asia.

Firstly, the logistical supplies could not be provided, and secondly, the European battlefield could not sustain the withdrawal of so many warships at once.

Britain does not have the funds to open up a second front, nor does it have the strength to do so.

Moreover, Hong Kong is very close to eastern Guangdong.

Once the other party blocks Hong Kong, Hong Kong will be in a desperate situation.

Jordan suddenly became scared. If a fight really broke out, the British cabinet would send him to a military court.

The king could have shot him.

Zhu Erdian changed his tone and said: "Mr. Zhao, don't misunderstand me. I am here to discuss with President Shen on behalf of the United Kingdom, so I hope to meet President Shen."

Zhao Gang shook his head and said, "Minister Zhu Erdian, if you have any questions, just discuss it with me. I am the full representative of President Shen.

Whether it is war or peace, I can make the decision."

After hearing this, Zhu Erdian was speechless.

He took a deep breath and said, “Mr. Zhao, this time I come to suggest that President Shen stop the attack on Qingdao.

There are things we can sit down and negotiate.

I can let Japan negotiate with you."

Zhao Gang sneered and said, "What are you negotiating about? Negotiating about Japan's compensation?"

Zhu Erdian said: "Compensation can be discussed, but the premise is that you stop attacking Qingdao and return Taiwan."

Taiwan’s geographical location is very important. It not only threatens Japan’s seaports, but also makes Hong Kong’s position even more embarrassing.

And was even blocked in it.

Before, Shen Hao and Japan fought in Taiwan, and the Eagle Country supported Shen Hao.
