"We must tear a bleeding wound for China, constantly consume the national strength they are accumulating quickly, and prevent them from successfully completing the action of unifying the domestic territory. They will never allow them to achieve a stable development of industrialization!"

This is the conclusion drawn by Sa Daoyi after comprehensively considering various intelligence information and submitting it to the members of the British Parliament and the Great Powers Mediation Mission. Not long after, he received a quick and clear reply and support.∷

As a true Asian master, Sa Daoyi clearly knew that China was by no means a so-called ignorant, primitive and uncivilized nation that Western society strongly promoted. On the contrary, their inner civilization was far higher than the West that had just walked out of the Middle Ages! The reason for so much publicity was to make excuses for the West's invasion and colonial behavior, and at the same time, to shape the confidence of their own people by belittling their opponents.

The cultural heritage that China has not cut off for thousands of years has enabled this huge ethnic group with Han culture as the core and more than 400 million people to form a stable and terrible centripetal cohesion. Obtaining a unified state power has almost become the common sense of every citizen and the unconscious cognition of the group.

This is just like the Western countries’ understanding of religion. They feel very incredible about the existence of unbeliever pagans. How can people live without the guidance of religion?

With the internal factors of unity, no matter how chaotic the struggle is, the result will not change at all. Even after a hundred years or two hundred years, even if the Han culture population dies more than 90% of it, as long as there is a little spark left, they can set off a prairie fire on this land!

Once China has completed its rebirth in the ashes, the civilization that has accumulated thousands of years will immediately shine with dazzling glory! With a unified organization, the hardworking, simple and smart Chinese people can create countless miracles and show awesome infinite power!

For thousands of years, every dynasty in China can have a prosperous era that ranges from at least a few decades and at most a hundred years. It is not a lucky chance, but inevitable!

Nowadays, the whole world has to come out of the darkness of feudal and imperial rule that is strictly hierarchical and ignoring life, and establish a civilization era that truly values ​​human beings' own existence. How to proceed and what route is correct, and a clear and unified theoretical system has not yet been formed.

In the West, countries have only completed the primitive accumulation of national and financial resources. Within their countries, the ruling class should have the responsibility and obligations to the general public are not clear, and brutal and unfinished exploitation and exploitation are still the mainstream. Anyone who attempts to resist this ruling order will be ruthless and bloody suppression!

However, people do not always swallow their anger. The Paris Commune movement that broke out in 1871 can be regarded as the forerunner of the people's awakening. The influence of maxists then increased rapidly. The detailed analysis of Western political economy by Capital has led to a considerable degree of panic and vigilance among the upper rulers.

The smartest group has realized that new changes will inevitably emerge. The opportunities for workers and lower-class citizens to enjoy the benefits brought by the country as well as the strength of the country will continue to increase. Those who can take this opportunity to gather the centripetal force of the people will surely become political heroes, and countries that can unite all national thoughts and strengths will surely become extremely powerful!

It's one thing to know. It's hard to do it!

Not to mention whether it will be successful in the end, just spreading the wealth you have obtained to those weak pariahs is difficult for the vast bourgeois upper class to accept. Therefore, the possibility of such change has always been extremely slow before the first socialist country emerged. The range is so small that it is negligible.

Sa Daoyi has a very high knowledge and super-human knowledge. He is promoted as "one of the three masterminds behind the creation of modern Japan." It is not a coincidence. He was the first to truly see the Chinese revolution promoted by Yang Hao, and was the first to carefully analyze and make amazing conclusions. From this, he deeply realized that once China is allowed to complete the revolution smoothly, not only will Britain's hegemony in the Far East be lost, but there may even be a powerful challenger on this end of the Pacific that seriously threatens the authority of the Western world!

The revolution carried out by Yang Hao not only changed the rigid social system formed over thousands of years, but also greatly promoted the modern civilization process beyond the great powers. He standardized the relationship between the state-owned economy and the private economy in the form of laws and policies, clarified the rights and obligations and legal constraints that the people enjoyed equally, stipulated the social responsibilities that capital owners must bear, and clarified the producers must receive due remuneration and welfare benefits, etc.

This is equivalent to downgrading the government and bureaucratic system into state managers, changing authoritarian rule into a service society, and enjoying the benefits obtained by improving productivity. This is definitely a beautiful world discussed by maxism!

From the regional situation where this series of policies has been successfully implemented, Sa Daoyi knows that this series of revolutionary methods is very effective. Yang Hao is constantly gaining firm support from more and more Chinese people. Countless families regard his photos as worshipped like gods and Buddhas, and set up tablets for him to worship sooner or later (囧). Until now, more than 100 million people have become his loyal followers, and this influence is forming a hurricane and tsunami that continues to sweep farther away, unstoppable!

Sa Daoyi was shocked by the completeness and immensity of the series of guiding ideologies that Yang Hao had created, and was shocked by the speed of acceptance of change by the Chinese and the terrible force that erupted after success. Just the support of a few provinces allowed Yang Hao to free up his hands to expand across the sea. So what after the entire China completed the revolution? Do they want to advance along the mainland to the West, just like the Han and Tang Empires that had expanded their influence to Europe more than a thousand years ago?

Don’t forget that Yang Hao also has an advanced navy with extremely powerful combat power!

When Sa Daoyi shuddered when he thought of the catastrophic consequences of millions of Chinese troops advancing from Asia to sweep the entire Pacific region from Asia and rushing to Europe across the border. That would be another Xiongnu and Tujue advance westward, which is very likely to bring a devastating blow to Western civilization again!

This kind of thing must not happen!

Sa Daoyi was a firm supremacist Western civilization and a pioneer and promoter of the global hegemony of the British Empire. He had the obligation and responsibility to do his best to ensure the stability of the world pattern and the majesty of the British Empire.

He spread the warning to everyone without hesitation and formulated a strategy for response more quickly. In addition to the previous confrontation of the southern forces, he focused his main energy on the Sino-Japanese war.

From last year to now, the battlefield with the core of Seiguan and Kitakyushu has gradually moved from a unilateral defeat in the early stage to the continuous counterattack stage of the Japanese Army.

The Guanmen Strait is a pass to the heart of Japan, which is a small Malacca. The loss of this place has caused Kyushu Island to completely lose its connection with Honshu. The defense of the Seto Inland Sea is empty, causing most coastal cities to face the threat of being attacked at any time.

After Japan obtained the continuous transport of weapons and supplies from the United States, Britain and other places, it quickly completed the convening and reorganization of the army. The combat force with the Fifth Division was pushed to the front desk and fought a desperate battle with the Sino-Korean coalition forces on the narrow Xiaguan Peninsula!

This is to preserve the fate of the entire Yamato nation, defend the achievements of the Meiji Restoration, and ensure the achievements of Japan's departure from Asia and Europe. For the glorious future, many people will be sacrificed!

The Japanese army, who had been determined to fight day and night without hesitation, forced China to draw troops and materials from the country to invest in this area, fighting for consumption with the Japanese army. Not only was the army dragged down. In order to stop them from reinforced Kyushu Island from the sea, they had to restrain half of the naval power in the Seto Inland Sea, so they didn't even bother to intervene in the Philippine Spaniards to quell the rebellion.

This is a good move! After calculating the consumption of each month, the mediation team of the great powers praised it. They did not have to die, but they just needed to pull over some of the excess domestic products, and could easily push tens of thousands of Japanese to rush into the battlefield. With the huge productivity of the great powers, this little price was insignificant, but it had the effect that they had not achieved even if they used the huge navy twice before.

Sa Daoyi's report was unanimously supported. The great powers decided to work together to create a vortex of death that constantly devoured the economic power of the Chinese economy, constantly consuming the dividends brought by the revolution that Yang Hao had tried his best to promote, so that he had no more power to quickly complete national unification.

Sa Daoyi hummed very unhappy: "Don't think that with a little insignificant technical means, you can blackmail us huge wealth. The money is not so easy to get. How much you eat us must spit out with capital and profit! Want to use the wealth of various countries to support your own strength? Dream!"

In April 1897, the great powers concluded a secret agreement to reach a division of labor on supporting Japan's war with China, and formally determined the strategy formulated last year.

According to the agreement, the most convenient United States will provide Japan with all the food, guns and ammunition supplies, and also provide some artillery to strengthen the defense of its coastal cities. Britain, France, Germany and Russia and other countries have taken out a large amount of funds to pay for Japan in the form of loans, and agreed to build a series of advanced warships for Japan and rebuild the navy in the next few years.

Britain, France, Germany and Russia do not have no industrial products to be dumped, but the cost of transporting them is too high, and they are worried that when they come from the South China Sea, they will be intercepted and attacked by the Chinese navy, which is not as convenient as the Americans coming directly from the West Coast.

Japan proposed that countries wanted to use active ships to piece together naval forces for them, and even set up fleets to help Japan regain the Seto Inland Sea, but was rejected by various countries.

What a joke? I'll get you a navy now. Can't you become stronger quickly? It's not that cheap to use our money to build a navy. It's even more impossible to block a gun for Japan. All countries really can't afford that inexplicable loss.

So without surprise, Japan was completely tied to the chariots of the great powers. After receiving a clear statement from Britain, France, Germany and the United States, it would defeat China in the future and allow Japan to own huge colonies such as North Korea, Taiwan, and Northeast China. The Japanese government took the initiative and worked hard to form a new army unit and put it on the battlefield!

On April 26, 1897, the Third Division, led by Lieutenant General Hasegawa Yodo, drove from Hiroshima into Yamaguchi Prefecture and replaced the Fifth Division, which had been fighting for three months. When it proposed to completely remove the incomplete unit, it was severely rejected by the division commander Suko Yamaguchi.

"The Fifth Division can rest temporarily, but will never withdraw. This is our garrison, and no mistakes are allowed! Please be sure to understand Hasegawa!"

Hasegawa Yoshimo seemed to be empathetic and saluted: "Okay, then follow Yamaguchi Jun's words. But no matter what, it is better to let our division play a role in the next battle first."

This time, Sukoto Yamaguchi did not refuse. It was because his Fifth Division was exhausted. To be precise, there were heavy casualties!

The Fifth Division's headquarters is located in Hiroshima and Yamaguchi. The soldiers in the army were born in this densely covered area and were the hard-core Changzhou Army. They were responsible for defending their territory. Facing China's brazen invasion, they had no choice but to resist the desperately. Even if they were all killed in battle, they would never give in.

In addition, they had a grudge with Yang Hao. During the Korean War in the 18894-1889, the 21st Regiment of the Division was taken away from the gang flag. This became an unprecedented shame in the history of the Japanese army, and also led to almost all senior officers, including the division commander, who died in the subsequent battle. The 5th Division was almost removed from the list!

The division led by Suko Yamaguchi was re-enlisted, with less than 10% of the veterans left. What is most unbearable is that they lacked the 21st Regiment, which turned this dignified permanent division of the A-type division into a disabled person, and everyone had to bear shame from the beginning.

Only by killing more Chinese people without mercy can we avenge our shame and revenge!

When the war broke out last year, the Fifth Division devoted all its strength without hesitation, but the battlefield in Xiaguan was narrow and rugged. Even the troops of a registrar could not be fully deployed. On the sea, Chinese naval ships patrolled day and night. They provided artillery support at any time, which prevented them from making any progress in their battle for three consecutive months.

Until now, the forward of the Fifth Division was still blocked in front of the Muwu River. It was extremely difficult to go further.

The Muwu River flows into the sea from the south of Huashan, where Emperor Zhong Ai’s funeral home. The Huashan Hot Spring and a rare flat land are located. The defense line of the Sino-Korean coalition forces is deployed along the left bank of the river, deliberately giving up the valley by the river, occupying the mountain head and almost reaching high. The core of its defense is at the inverted triangle position of Liubu Mountain, Baishan and Liuwanfang Mountain less than ten kilometers apart. At the entrance of the Muwu River to the south, it is very difficult to cross the sea at the mouth of the sea, and the threat of naval cannons. Not to mention crossing, it is very difficult to get closer.

Suko Yamaguchi conscientiously introduced the situation she found in detail, and deduced the situation for Hasegawa Yoshidao on the sand table. Finally, she concluded: "In the absence of solving the maritime threat, we can only break through this line of defense to seize the Seizure and recover the closing fortress."

Before leaving Hasegawa Yoshiroshi, he had tried his best to study all the battle reports. After trying every means to squeeze out the moisture, he determined that the difficulties faced by this trip were unprecedentedly huge and he was never optimistic.

However, no matter how difficult it is to fight locally, he has to hold on and never show weakness in front of his colleagues.

He nodded solemnly: "I understand. Yamaguchi and the 5th Division have worked hard. This time, we have received unified support from all countries and believe that we will achieve satisfactory results. Not only the battlefield of Xiaguan, but also the newly recruited 18th Division from Kyushu, but also the 12th Division's troops will cooperate with us to launch an attack."

He did not say that the Sixth Division was because the division was wiped out by no one left in the battle of the Eight-Nation Alliance invading northern Jiangsu. Because the losses were too heavy, even though the Japanese were very thick-skinned, they really had no confidence to reorganize immediately.

Yamaguchi Suko's cheeks twitched, and said with a smile on her face: "Then I'll wait for the good news you bring!"

He didn't believe that the great powers would be so kind to greatly enhance the strength of the Japanese army, and he didn't believe that the Baga idiots on Kyushu Island might organize effective attacks. Even the communication was intermittent, and they were facing crazy Korean soldiers' brutal sweeps at any time. How did they reorganize their troops? Where did the weapons and equipment come from?

That’s right, the Japanese know that a considerable number of the troops invading Kitakyushu and Xiaguan are knot slaves from North Korea!

In that despicable and weak country, when facing the powerful Japan, they dared not let anyone go, and let bullying be punished. With China's support, they immediately became powerful. Not only did they resist, but they also dared to act as a thug to kill Japan's territory. Over the past few months, they have heard of them committing various atrocities in the war zone, but instead, the Chinese troops have been constantly stopping their presumptuous behavior.

The Japanese army became even more angry because of this. They were defeated before, and they fought against powerful Chinese troops. Even if they failed, it was due to historical reasons. The small North Korea got involved. What's going on? Where did they get the qualifications!

Discrimination is everywhere. North Korea, which has been bullied by Japan for many years as a vassal of China, has never been taken seriously by the Japanese. Now a slave dares to be transferred to the head of an adult and is simply lawless!

So, once the Korean soldiers were found on the battlefields of both sides, no matter how heavy the Japanese casualties were, they would have an unprecedented combat power. On the other hand, the Korean army with blood feuds entered the battle and was screaming at Japan. For several months, the proportion of casualties between the two sides was not as great as imagined. Most of the thousands of casualties that occurred in the Sino-Korean coalition were bad...

Besides, Hasegawa Yoshidao. He personally experienced the fierce battle of Sino-Japanese War and had a very intuitive understanding of the powerful force of Yang Hao's soldiers. I remember that he and Nogi Hashinomi were chased and rushed for hundreds of miles, which was not a joke.

This time, thanks to the support of various countries, the Third Division not only restored its organization, but also used the most advanced weapons today. The infantry is Yishui's powerful American Springfield 7.62mm rifle, and the elite troops are equipped with the British 10 consecutive Li Enfield rifles; each squadron is equipped with at least two water-cooled Maxim heavy machine guns, and each squadron is also equipped with Maderson light machine guns - this kind of light weapon that uses thirty rounds of magazines is simply an invention of genius!

In addition, each brigade has at least four 75mm Krupp mountain cannons, and the artillery gang is also equipped with large-caliber field cannons from Europe's highest achievements! The Krupp company generously took out its most advanced 105mm heavy artillery, giving the Japanese Army the first time in its life a movable heavy support firepower!

This is a big guy with a range of more than 10,000 meters and can threaten the light ships at sea! The Japanese Army, who has only seen a 70mm bronze cannon, feels like it has a killer weapon all at once, and it is full of energy!

In addition, they also obtained a strange curved weapon "mortar" from Tsarist Russia. This guy who can advance lightly with the troops can conceal the enemy nearby with a large curve from behind the mountain. Its power and skillful use were tasted by Lieutenant General Hasegawa many times during the Sino-Japanese War of 1894-1895 and was deeply impressed.

This time, they want to avenge their previous shame and return all their suffering to the Chinese! (To be continued, please search Piaotianwen, the novel is better and faster!
