167 Changes in the Far East

Report. All exploded. No duds!"

Hearing the guard's report, Fei was breathing a light tone. The on-site demonstration not only proved that this new type of aircraft modified based on mortar shells is reliable and has amazing power. Although many people have heard that Huafei's plane had been bombing Nanjing more than a year ago, there were only a few people who saw the power of the bombing with their own eyes.

Seeing those foreigners stand up in surprise, holding a telescope and staring at the bomber that had already gone away, Hua Fei couldn't help but feel in his heart. His early efforts to invest in the aviation industry have finally come back. This bomber loaded with new bomb drop devices and equipped with the latest bombs is no less than any existing bomber in Europe. Perhaps only the Russian Murometz heavy bomber (as of that time) can be compared with some technical indicators.

The live-fire exercise of 1b bombers can not only show empty force, but also increase the pressure on countries to participate in subsequent war conflicts.

After the work of several scientific research teams and the help of several mechanical engineers in the Industrial Research Office, the synchronization device of the propeller through the aviation machine gun bullets was finally successfully solved. The original Huafei even made the Pioneer 2 design plan and the Pioneer 3 of the future all-metal fuselage public to Anthony Faulk.

This young genius designer was completely attracted by this advanced aircraft and was attracted by all the attention. He not only devoted himself to Feng Ru's research and design team with great enthusiasm, but also designed several types of aircraft at other times with the help of inspiration that surged inspiration.

Nikola Tesla deserves to be a genius scientist, inventor, mechanical engineer, and electrical engineer. In short, no matter what title you give him, he will be useless.

In just a few months, he not only made many suggestions on the construction of the first phase of the thermal power plant in Shanghai, but also replaced the generator set equipment ordered earlier. According to the technicians of the power plant, the efficiency of this new equipment is at least 5% higher than the previous equipment. If it were not for the lack of industrial strength, Tesla would have wanted to redesign a generator set itself for use by the thermal power plant.

As one of the ancestors of radio inventions, Tesla's mission to improve Huafei's wireless equipment is the most satisfying.

He not only made a radio station with a submarine with a transmission distance of more than 00 meters, but also made a new radio station with a transmission distance of 12 meters.

It is just that the radio transmitter for aircraft mentioned by Huafei requires that it is best to achieve voice transmission. In addition, the problem of aircraft generators is very difficult. It is temporarily put on hold.

As for the problem of aircraft engine use, Tesla did design a propeller turbine engine. However, when they were taken to the Winghoon Engine Factory, they said that it was too difficult to produce this engine. Even if it could be made, it may be extremely reliable and stable due to advanced material and technology.

There is no way. Huafei can only place his hopes entirely on the piston propeller engine of the Pterosaur Engine Research Group and the Industrial Research Institute's mechanical engineers. As a result, Tesla heard that this new engine has a maximum design of 300 horsepower. He turned around and ran back to the military basis. His bladeless turbine engine design and Huafei proposed shortwave radio technology.

Tesla, which has developed a turboprop engine with a horsepower of up to thousands of horsepower, turned to research a piston propeller engine with a horsepower of only 30. This is indeed very unbearable for Tesla to bear. Huafei can understand this. However, although Huafei is extremely envious of the 10-horsepower engine, it is just a look of the plum blossoms. Just focus on this 30-force piston engine.

But Huafei did not give up on the turboprop engine designed by Tesla. He organized a team of students from various fields to conduct special research, research on reducers from turbo to propellers, research on engine materials, research on internal design structures, etc., and carried out advanced technology reserves.

The above are barely considered some advantages that are ahead of other countries. They are just a simple review from Hua Fei's mind. Accompanied by the low whistle, the naval warships slowly sail.

The expression was still completely immersed in the bombing of the military planes. The people quickly turned their eyes to the naval warships on the river. Hua Fei also quickly picked up his sight glass and looked at the first naval fleet he had worked hard to form.

The first to come into people's sight was the flagship of the First Fleet, the battlecruiser, the battleship cruiser, and followed closely by its sister ship. These two cruisers with a displacement of more than 4,000 have regained the style of a giant ship after a certain amount of modification. In particular, the two new, 25mm Krupp rapid-fire naval guns installed on the central axis of the first and last ships, made him unable to match the power of the cruiser.

The ang Ting's artillery suddenly emitted a flame. The entire warship was shocked. Dong! Dong! Dong! Dong! The ship actually fired fire in the direction of Jiangdong. The huge sound caused a riot in the entire crowd. The power of the 254mm cannon was beyond people's imagination. However, as expected, some people did not expect the explosion of the land in the distance. After the explanation of the tour guide, I realized that the air shells were fired just now.

The main cruisers such as the Hairong, Rui, and Feihong passed by one after another. They quickly left the Huangpu River and entered the East China Sea to carry out patrol missions. Since the establishment of the navy, Huafei has almost no plans to build new warships and purchase new warships. The Feihong cruiser was ordered by the government from the New York Shipyard in the late Qing Dynasty. Later, because the Beiyang government was unable to pay the ship's money, it was purchased by Huafei using naval military funds in 2011.

In addition, the same reason is also true. Huafei also accepted the Jingbo and Longtuan gunboats ordered by the government before, as well as the three destroyers, Jiankang, Yuzhang and Tong'an.

Of course, due to military expenditure, Huafei did not expand the navy extensively. However, most of the navy's warships were modified. For ships with a displacement of 00 tons, they were all converted into patrol gunboats. They formed the first patrol ship and were responsible for patrol tasks in the Neijiang and coastal areas.

Change destroyers with drainage of 00 to 700 to high-speed fish |\'ships. Fight with small fish |\'ships can also sink battleships. This is the most effective way to quickly improve naval combat effectiveness when the navy's military strength is not strong. The torpedo ships belong to the Navy's First Fleet.

Warships with displacement of 700 to 300 tons are divided into destroyers and are designated as multi-functional ships. They can use advantageous artillery fire to pose a threat to torpedo ships. They can also use torpedoes to pose attack pressure to cruisers and warships. Of course, more variable related equipment can pose a threat to underwater submarines.

As for the legendary frigate, because of the thinness of air and underwater power

There is no need to set up this type of ship. The displacement is 30 warships, all divided into cruisers. As for the battleship Huafei, there is no intention to equip such a maritime giant so far. The reason is no other reason. The price ratio is really not worth the cost for Huafei now.

As for Huafei's secret submarine force, it was a killer of his navy. None of them appeared at the military parade. Two L-class submarines from Germany were produced at full speed from Jiangnan Shipyard. It has been more than half a year. Huafei's submarine force has only eight so far. Currently, most of these eight submarines are training and training submarine sailors, or are conducting trial sailings. Where can there be any technical data related to the military parade be conducted before?

Submarines, for Huafei's sea wolf pack submarine warfare, are completely insufficient! "Novel Network Mobile Access http.

After the military parade, Huafei invited all foreign representatives to attend the banquet held by the autonomous government at noon to discuss the neutral position of the autonomous region and the relevant matters related to how to maintain regional peace in East Asia.

Most foreign representatives who had been shocked by the powerful and majestic military appearance of the Autonomous Region National Defense Forces at the military parade answered Hua Fei's invitation absent-mindedly, but before they set off, many foreigners left by car. Don't say that they must have gone back to report the relevant situation to their minister.

The attitude and tone of the representatives of the autonomous region's military power have changed significantly because if this is the real military power of the autonomous region, in time, the huge country of the East will be completely controlled by this iron-blooded general. How can the mentality of various countries not change for such potential political objects?

Especially the European War was fully opened. Germany's eastern and western fronts were fully launched. The Western front was even closer to Paris. The two sides were about to meet in full swing. European countries, which had originally despised China Fei, the Far Eastern power, began to win over all forces more and more closely as the war progressed.

Especially Germany, Hua Fei's closest friend Edsey, has been extremely diligent recently. He claimed that as long as Hua Fei's National Welfare Force joins the German camp, deal with the forces of Britain and France in the Far East and restrain their colonial forces, Germany has offered countless attractive conditions.

Britain, France and other countries have long announced the neutral position of the autonomous region, and have demanded on tariff rights, concessions and other requirements. The tone of various countries is no longer tough. Especially France, claiming that as long as Hua Fei joins the British and French coalition forces and sends troops to Europe, France is even willing to return the concession in Shanghai to the autonomous government.

The poor country and capital are almost out of stock. No wonder they are so anxious. Compared with their eagerness, Hua Fei is very calm. He just refuses one by one polite but never lets go.

The reason for refusal is also very simple. It is that no country is allowed to undermine the peace and stability of the autonomous region and do its best to maintain the stable development of the autonomous region.

Sometimes it’s really hard to come by!

Just when countries were disheartened, Huafei's military exercises made them quickly think of another possibility of cooperation. That is, as the scale of the war became larger and larger, countries such as Britain and France had serious shortage of military reserves and urgently needed military funds to supplement them. The autonomous region under Huafei's jurisdiction undoubtedly has a certain military production capacity. This is not a helping force for them.

In the first floor lobby of Huizhong Hotel, representatives from Britain, Germany, France, Austro-Hungary, Italy, the United States and other countries gathered together to talk with officials at all levels in the autonomous region. In the state of war between the two sides, such a scene can still appear. No, it is a wonder!

Huafei is of course very interested in trade cooperation. Not only does he hope to have arms trade, but he also hopes that trade can be continued to expand into the civil industry. The two sides hit it off. Huafei even secretly said that even if he unloads his own military equipment, he must meet the arms orders of various countries.

However, Huafei also said that due to production processes and technology, the weapons provided may not be able to guarantee high-proportion quality. We hope that all countries will provide help.

Representatives from all countries cursed in their hearts. Seeing the weapons imitated at the military parade, they couldn't see any quality problems! But everyone knew that this was part of the transaction. So they said that they would definitely provide technical engineers and provide guidance and support for some technical obstacles in Huafei. They even said that they would hand over some weapons from each country to Huafei's arsenal for production.

Huafei expressed his gratitude sincerely. Then he mentioned inadvertently in the chat that due to the infinity of industrial foundation of the autonomous region, many components and materials need to be imported from various countries, which affects the production speed and will also greatly increase the cost price.

Representatives of various countries are feeling itchy in their hatred. This is clearly a huge price. However, what Hua Fei said makes sense, for example, he produced many parts of the aircraft engine-related parts and gun-related steel parts that need to be imported.

There is no way. You are unwilling to cooperate with Britain and France. Germany and Austria are desperate for it. Besides, they obviously have other secret transactions with Huafei. If you are unhappy, there is no way for Britain, France and other countries to make verbal promises. They will do their best to help the autonomous region government build a complete industrial foundation and reduce the cost of related export products.

Finally, countries privately talked with Huafei about the export of the H-1b bomber. After Huafei responded happily, the guests and guests were happy.

A luncheon, from noon until the night was completely dark. Representatives from various countries left reluctantly. As soon as they left the public eye, everyone accelerated the accelerator and rushed back to the consulate. All verbal agreements and promised that they must obtain government support as soon as possible. No one would want to be taken advantage of by other countries. At this time, support is the only one who can do so.

Although Britain is unwilling to be a big player in China and will eventually affect their interests in the Far East. However, France obviously is not in the mood to see it. What's more, even if Britain can control France's decisions, can it control Germany and Austro-Hungary's decisions?

But no one expected that he would not wait for the official reply from his national government. But he waited for an emergency telegram. Japan would officially use force to take over all Germany's rights and interests in Shandong.

British Minister Jurden, French Minister Kang, called back to their respective governments to ask what was going on. However, the British government's decision was helpless. Although Britain and Japan were all alliances, in the UK's view, Japan was just a pawn he used to restrain Russia and Germany's power in the Far East. They were unwilling to Japan to sit in the Far East. Now Japan is not obedient and insists on taking over Germany's rights in the Far East. It also claims that this is an action that must be taken to maintain the British-Japanese alliance.

Although Britain has many concerns about Japan's participation in the war, in the Far East, he has no strength to influence Japan's operations at all. After receiving a military parade from the Chinese ambassador

After the report, the UK's choice was to stand on both sides. The country was the most favorable.

From the strategy of helping the weak and checking and balance, Huafei is in an absolutely weak position. Moreover, what Huafei requires is not to participate in the war, but to provide technical support and provide supplies and arms to various countries. This is undoubtedly very in line with the wishes of the UK. Even if China's autonomous region has increased greatly due to its strength, it is also a party government after all. Not only does the central government check and balance, but also the influence of Japan.

But if you choose Huafei, Britain will inevitably lose Japan, the most powerful ally in the Far East. If Japan is angry, it is obviously a burden for Britain to bear. Fortunately, although the two sides have some conflicts recently, it is not a hostile relationship. It also requires the British to have a certain amount of breathing time.

On the 9th day, the second day of Huafei's military parade, Japan landed in Longkou, Shandong. Once the news was published, it was spread across China, especially in the Soviet autonomy, and caused huge waves. Germany even issued a stern warning. Japan's unreasonable declaration of war expressed great anger and threatened that Japan would pay the price for it!

The southern provinces were just shocked by the powerful armed forces at the military parade in the Yangtze River Delta Autonomous Region and had not recovered yet. They received this news again. Everyone gave such a breath. I am afraid that Shandong will never calm down. In the chaotic times, all they can do is to continue to grow and expand their military strength.

The Beijing Presidential Office is intimate. Yuan Shikai and his staff and confidants have already negotiated to draw preliminary conclusions.

"Okay!" Yuan Shikai touched his beard and said relaxedly. "Since that's the case, we will give up the plan to take the opportunity to attack the south. All the newspapers we control will be sent to me. Hasn't Hua Fei always been known for his iron blood? Didn't Hua Langzi always use national rejuvenation and national rise as a slogan? We will use this trick to use the Japanese to land in Shandong to make a fuss. See if he will send troops in the end!"

"I was just trying to send troops to me. I failed. His vitality was severely damaged. We lost no losses. Even if we were lucky enough to win, we could still use the name of the central government. | to manage Shandong! If he Huafei knew the current affairs, we would let the autonomous region stay for a few days. If he was still arrogant, it would be the time for us to take revenge!"

Many staff members smiled knowingly. But a senior officer still worried. "But the Japanese have agreed with us to send troops to the autonomous region's military power. Will we do this?"

"The Japanese's motives are the same as other foreign devils." Yuan Shikai put down his fingers and said in a state of unmoving emotions. "The Beiyang Army's divisions will be mobilized to form a situation of going south to enter the Shandong border. In this way, we can prevent the Shandong chaos from forming an offensive against the Southern Revolutionary Army."

"But we can't push too close, so as not to give up sending troops to Shandong with suspicion! You guys say that if Hua Langzi sends troops to Shandong, who has a greater chance of winning between him and the Japanese?"

Shikai laughed even happier. The confidants and staff couldn't help laughing out loud. Hua Fei claimed to have 100,000 troops, but the elite troops of the First Army were only more than 30,000 troops.

With more than 30,000 troops and horses fighting against Japan, which defeated Russia, even if you win by chance due to favorable factors, will there be no loss? Cutting off the support of Japan, the country, the support of the British, Japan, is equivalent to losing the support of France. In addition, the most elite first army suffered casualties in battle. What else does Hua Langzi use to fight against the central government?

At this time, Yuan Shikai made Hua Fei suddenly become soft and lose his old iron-blooded style. This opportunity is the greatest opportunity for Yuan Shikai to take the opportunity to return to the rich Jiangsu-Anhui-Shanghai Autonomous Region.

On September 3, major papers, including many newspapers in the autonomous region, published articles to protest Japan's troops in Shandong and seize materials and houses in Long and expel civilians. Some newspapers even published some photos of real objects, which aroused unanimous indignation from the people.

But Yuan Shikai was worried. The autonomous region government issued a painless protest statement. The usual | Hua Wufu, who was always strong and arrogant, took any action or statement. Even the reporter could not find him.

On September 4th, the Japanese army moved forward. The Ta Kung Pao suddenly published a photo of a Japanese army shooting civilians and burning houses. Students from Beijing, Tianjin, Hai, Guangdong and other places came up to protest. The rare Yuan Shikai's Chinese government did not stop the march in Beijing.

On September 5, there was still no voice from Hua Fei. The UK issued a statement, holding Japan's actions, and demanding restrictions on Japan's conduct and not expanding the war.

The United States also issued a statement, demanding that Japan strictly abide by its promises and only temporarily take over the Qingdao Jiaoji Line. The time to wait for the settlement is exchanged. The Chinese government, France, Italy and other state affairs are not concerned. Stay silent. Germany issued another protest statement. Austro-Hungary officially declared war on Japan.

On September 6, the nationwide demonstrations were further expanded. The newspapers were manipulated by unknown promoters. The Japanese marched into Shandong. The Beiyang government officially issued diplomatic protests and mobilized troops to the Shandong border.

On September 7, the demonstrations in Shanghai, Nanjing, Zhenjiang, and Prefecture were further expanded. Some even publicly insulted the weakness of the autonomous region's defense force. Some even publicly mocked Hua Fei's so-called revival concept and the so-called national interests in the newspapers. They also bluntly said that Hua Fei was a gunhead, who would show off his verbal advantage. He cursed him mercilessly. He said that they were experts in civil war. When they met the Eastern Japanese, they became a turtle.

On September 8, Germany resisted Japan's threat to the Chinese government. Germany was not allowed to transfer rights and interests to Qingdao and other countries.

On September 9, the German Connect said that it was willing to transfer the rights and interests of Qingdao and Jiaoji Lines to the Suzhou-Shanghai Autonomous Region for management unconditionally. It warned Japan to interfere in China's internal affairs and not to expand Shandong into a war zone.

On September 10, the Japanese army occupied Pingdu, Shandong, arrested the county governor, forced the levy of cattle, animal food, and shot civilians. The declaration even published a shocking picture. A Japanese soldier stabbed a Chinese child to death with a bayonet. Several others stood behind as arrogantly as beasts and laughed. The crowd was in an uproar. The people were shocked. In front of the Shanghai Municipal Government, people were full of protesting petitions.
