Ten minutes passed very slowly. After half an hour, Li Cai had to issue a return order.

Although Li's team achieved impressive results, the naval ammunition depot at Yokosuka Port was bombed, nearly half of the infrastructure in the port area was damaged, and warships and merchant ships such as the Yama Castle battleship being built in the port were sunk one after another, greatly blocking the port's route.

However, compared with other groups, Li's group suffered the greatest losses. A total of more than ten people were confirmed to be killed, including Ge Ning and more than 20 people who rushed to support him, and their whereabouts were unknown.

The next day, it was dawn. The Prime Minister of the Cabinet was already noisy. Chongxin's home was already in a state of chaos. Chongxin hurried out from his home, heading straight for the Prime Minister's Office. If the news just received was true, it would be a huge disaster for Japan.

In the Prime Minister's Office, the ministers quarreled loudly. Some people thought that the information could not be wrong. Even if there was a mistake in one place, how could Yokosuka, Wugang, Kobe, Nagasaki and other places all sent emergency telegrams? Only the Navy Minister and others insisted that this was absolutely impossible. Even Germany did not have such strength in the Far East, let alone the Chinese people who fought against them.

But even if the Navy Minister proved his point, everyone clearly understood that things might be very bad. As more detailed telegrams came one after another, the thing that everyone was most worried about was finally confirmed.

Da | Shigexin guessed that this was indeed the biggest disaster in Japan's history, and it was also a man-made disaster. The four major ports were attacked by unidentified armed forces at the same time. Many warships and merchant ships docked in the military port and several battleships under construction were all sunk. Even if they were salvaged, they would probably be difficult to repair.

Most importantly, the four major Japanese port shipyards suffered varying degrees of damage. A large number of skilled workers died while sleeping, the damage to factory machinery and the losses of skilled workers are the most deadly, and the value is simply incalculable.

"Everyone, needless to say, this is all done by the damn Diechina general. After this battle, our navy general was severely damaged and it was difficult to recover in the short term! The arbitrage negotiations proposed yesterday are about to think deeply!"

"No!" Navy Minister Yayoi Rokuro chewed blood and said in great hatred, "The destiny of my great Japanese country is achieved by brave soldiers, not by some cowardly literati at the negotiating table! Such a great humiliation, if we do not use force and blood to cleanse our Japanese country, we will never have a day to rise."

"We bravely fighters will prove our loyalty to His Majesty the Emperor..."

The Eighth Dayu Rokuro was passionate and had not finished speaking yet. Another telegram was sent.

"What? Kirishima is missing? It is suspected to be robbed by armed personnel at the attacking port?"

When I heard this news, Yayoi Rokuro said something. I went to command all the fleets myself and would definitely take back the Kirishima. I left everyone in a dumbfounded manner and quickly left.

The deep crackdown operation achieved a huge victory, which shocked the Japanese government and the opposition. Although the cabinet took action quickly, various news quickly caused great commotion in society through newspapers and media. It quickly launched various protests and demonstrations in various places, demanding that the cabinet bench presidency and expand its combat against China. Especially the hardliners in the military, they strongly opposed the cabinet's armistice plan being discussed.

As a rising power, Japan is more of a gambling process. It is undoubtedly a process of gambling. It is undoubtedly a very good fortune in history. Whether it is the Sino-Japanese War of 1895 against the First Fleet of East Asia, or the Japanese-Russia naval war against Russia, Russia, and Russia, both military and national strength are numerous times stronger than that of Russia. Japan defeats the strong with weak victory and even starts a war against the United States in the future. There is undoubtedly such gambling mentality. It is just luck. It is not always on the side of Japan.

Therefore, for Japan, it is absolutely intolerable to be severely damaged by the weak Chinese warlords in their eyes, and there is no way to cease war and negotiate. The perseverance and seriousness, or stubbornness, and stubbornness in the Japanese character played a role at this moment.

When Huafei had just woken up in the morning, he received a telegram from the deep strike plan. The telegram was sent from the Kirishima Telegram Room and sent in a clear code. It was received by British, American and other merchant ships on the sea and forwarded to Shanghai.

Huafei is well aware of the importance of the deep strike plan. It can be said that the victory or defeat on the Shandong battlefield can only be regarded as a tactical victory or defeat. The results of the deep strike plan are directly related to strategic influence. This will not only affect the Japanese Navy's shipbuilding plan, but also have immeasurable impact on the morale and psychological impact of the Japanese Navy! Moreover, with the large-scale development of World War I, sea transportation will flourish. Japan's civil shipbuilding industry will be greatly affected after this action, and its influence on Japan's economic development is far-reaching and unestimable. Therefore, it is not unreasonable that Huafei positioned this action as a battle of national destiny at the beginning.

"Kijima! And it's a brand new battleship?" Hua Fei held the telegram. Even though he thought he had excellent psychological quality, his hands could not help but tremble. He still couldn't believe that this was true. The Shejin battleship captured in the 1999 Naval Battle had a displacement of only 20,000 tons. According to Hua Fei's existing information, the standard displacement of the Kirijima was about 27,000 tons, but the brand new King Kong-class battlecruiser docked in the port was about to be completed. Compared with the damage to the keel, it can only be regarded as a dismantled scrap copper and iron, and it is absolutely not the same.

According to the cost of the British dreadnought Elizabeth, the economic value of this Kirishima warship is equivalent to more than 20 million Singapore dollars, which is more than the total military expenditure of the Huafei Navy this year.

In the original plan, Hua Fei wanted to sank all these warships into Japan's ports, which not only greatly affected the Japanese Navy's shipbuilding plan, but also temporarily paralyzed their ports. Zhu Bing and others, who had never thought that they would be so bold, even kidnapped the warship to him and returned.

Before Hua Fei could finish washing, he hurried to the staff war room. The staff members were so excited that they were even more excited than when they won the Battle of 19929. Except for a very few people who probably knew the content of the deep strike plan, the others had only heard of a name at most.

When they heard this, they couldn't help but be amazed at Hua Fei's boldness. If Hua Fei had been handed over to the General Staff to discuss before, even if they knew the ending now, many people would not be confident that they could make such a decision. Most of the staff members who could enter the General Staff had a certain strategic vision and international perspective. They knew very well what the victory of this operation meant to the Chinese Navy, which was definitely not something that the value of tens of millions of new coins could be measured.

"We will eventually avenge our shame in China in the Jiawu year. Commander, this good news must be

The detailed process of the deep strike operation must be written in a big way, and especially the first-class Diamond Holy War Medal!" Bai Kaijun, a more radical staff member, has always been the most active in declaring war against Japan. As soon as Hua Fei walked into the staff room, he was excited to come forward.

Compared to Bai Kai's excitement, staff officer Zhang Zhizhong has become more and more mature and calm in the formulation of many combat staff plans. After graduating from the Iron Blood First Class, he was directly awarded the rank of lieutenant colonel, and was one of the highest ranks among the first class graduates.

"Commander, I believe that the news that Kirishima was captured by me must have been discovered by the Japanese side. The four submarines carrying out the mission do not have the ability to attack, and I estimate that the artillery on Kirishima may not have the combat power of shells. In addition, the personnel configuration is insufficient. Once it is intercepted by the Japanese army, Kirishima may be captured by the enemy!"

Zhang Zhizhong's words finally calmed down the atmosphere in the staff room. After all, the warship has not yet been launched, and everything is empty now.

"Commander, based on our understanding of the Japanese, they have a very shameful view of right and wrong. Now that they have suffered such a great humiliation, I think they will definitely not act without retaliation. We must be prepared and must not take it lightly!" Zhang Zhizhong then submitted two plans and said, "These are two staff plans I have formulated. One is our defense measures after the Kirishima successfully arrived in Shanghai, and the other is our rescue and response measures if Kirishima is captured or sunk back or sunk on the sea by the Japanese after Kirishima!"

Hua Fei nodded and took over Zhang Zhizhong's counselor plan with certainty. Although Hua Fei was born abroad in his previous life, he grew up in China in his childhood and always watched Chinese TV. He often traveled to Chinese forums. Therefore, for Japan, Hua Fei not only had the competitive factors of the opponents, but also the rejection of the enemy in emotionally.

American Benedict once wrote in his book "Chrysanthemum and Knife" that the Japanese nation has a very important concept of right and wrong, that is, the culture of shame, which is what people often call the spirit of Bushido. Soldiers suffer such humiliation as failure, and the choice left is to commit suicide by cesarean section, rather than living silence. Because in the concept of shame culture, those who live with shame are better than death!

Therefore, Hua Fei was very sure of Zhang Zhizhong's judgment. Looking at most of the staff members with a fever, Hua Fei reminded with a smile, "You guys, even if the deep strike plan is successful, our local strength in the navy is still inferior to that of the Japanese Navy. We need to be clear about this. The construction and strength of the navy are not a overnight achievement. A strong naval fleet is a symbol of the national strength of a great power."

"We need to build a large fleet, a large fleet that is not a land-based fleet, but a large fleet built entirely by our own capabilities. Taking this opportunity, I need to remind all staff members that the rise of China must be the only way to leave the escort of a powerful navy. If we cannot occupy the overlord position on the seas of the Eastern Pacific, China's prosperity and rise will always be just an empty talk!"

"I said a long time ago that science and technology are the guides for self-improvement, while the economy is the mount of a strong national strength. We develop the economy rapidly in order to ensure that the navy has sufficient national military budget. We established the Academy of Sciences to improve science and technology, improve shipbuilding capabilities, machinery manufacturing and materials."

"Even if we declare war on Japan now, it can stimulate the rapid development of the industrial arms economy in the autonomous region and create a more peaceful and stable development environment. This is our core purpose. I hope that all the staff members can have a clear understanding of this point and keep a consistent direction with me."

It has been a long time since everyone followed Hua Fei. Hua Fei is very familiar with them and they know Hua Fei well. However, most of them immediately fell into deep thought and quickly understood Hua Fei's meaning. Be prepared for danger in times of peace, never be blind, never optimistic, and always have the consciousness of being born in trouble.

Behind the huge victory, there are also huge crises lurking. If you stop striving and responding, victory will become a burial song of death.

Zhang Zhizhong's plan was formulated very well and fully considered various possibilities. If the Kirishima was surrounded by the Japanese Navy halfway, this was the worst case. Zhang Zhizhong had two countermeasures: one was to send submarine troops to support. Even if they could not fight hard, they had to hunt or rescue the fallen warriors. The other was to order the first navy fleet to support. The Japanese army hurriedly surrounded it and could not concentrate the main force of the navy, so the first fleet was not powerless to fight back.

Another best case scenario, Kirishima successfully arrived in Shanghai. Considering that the Japanese Navy might use naval warships to attack Shanghai Port at all costs, Zhang Zhizhong had formulated a dense mine at the estuary of the Yangtze River, and at the same time transferred the submarine troops back to ambush, ready to support the battle at any time.

All these two plans need to know the specific location of the Kirishima. If you don’t know where the Kirishima is, there is no question of supporting the battle.

After the Battle of 1929, the First Navy Fleet returned to the port for rest and rest, and was most of the Hua Fei was dismissed. First, the naval soldiers were very willing to fight, and second, like the Beiyang Fleet, in order to preserve their strength, it was not a good strategy. So soon after, the First Navy Fleet was sent out of the East China Sea to support submarine operations while patrolling and hunting, and implementing the "Sea Hunting" plan of the Hua Enclave.

"What should we do if the Yangtze River estuary is blocked? And if we blockade with mines, we must start mine laying now, otherwise it may not be too late!" Hua Fei said hesitantly.

Once the Yangtze River estuary is blocked, it can indeed prevent the Japanese Navy from attacking Shanghai Port, but it will also cut off the foreign transportation of Shanghai Port. This is extremely unfavorable for economic and trade. Although Huafei has been prepared for this point, it is still a bit painful. This is the pain before the rise and is inevitable.

"The submarine forces will be withdrawn immediately, and the first fleet torpedo detachment will be withdrawn. The order will be cut off the shipping in the Yangtze River Estuary, and the mine-burning ships will immediately start mine-burning operations, and the operation must be completed in the evening. The coastal artillery team is on guard and ready to fight at any time."

"Send the order, the reconnaissance plane takes off immediately, search for possible routes and sea areas of Kirishima. Once discovered, return to report immediately. The torpedo attack plane is on standby and ready to enter the battle at any time!"

"Don't disclose this to the newspaper media for the time being, so as not to cause trouble, cause sensation, and cause unnecessary trouble."

The Yangtze River route was blocked, which immediately caused huge discussion. Many ships docked at the docks and loaded most of the cargo and immediately broke down and left the port before the last limited time.

The captains of several deep blue sea ships even directly found the Customs Department. The director of the Customs Department quickly transferred to Huafei's message, and all companies and ships were treated equally and must obey the orders issued by the command.

This is not the first time the Yangtze River route was blocked, but the blockade order was quickly lifted last time, and the Japanese Navy finally did not dare to fight.

The estuary of the Yangtze River. But this time, many people actually saw a large number of sailors carrying mines onto the small passenger ship. The anchor thunder that can sink under the water line seems to be completely blocking the estuary of the Yangtze River!

Citizens who didn't know what to do was immediately talking about it. Although merchants quickly received news that goods were piled up in the port, few people were worried and few people slowed down production. The merchants' confidence in Huafei was obviously stronger and more confident than any class.

Although Hua Fei and the others did not disclose the news, the mainland foreigners in the Concession were well-informed, and various news quickly appeared on the foreigners' newspapers. It was learned that the special forces had achieved great results in Japan and captured a brand new Japanese battleship. In order to guard against the Japanese's revenge and attack, they were not allowed to block the sea outlet.

Compared with the media quality of this era, moral sentiment is obviously more than one level higher than that of the CNN era. In addition, although countries in the concession have always had disputes with Huafei, with the outbreak of the First World War, they made compromises and concessions to Huafei one after another in exchange for support from the autonomous region, China, the largest export trade zone.

Even Britain, which maintained an alliance with Japan, maintained a close relationship with the autonomous region after Huafei declared war on Japan, and even kept persuading Japan to cease war and put diplomatic pressure on Japan. With the promise of Huafei to prohibit the German troops from returning to China to participate in the war and safeguarding the status quo of Hong Kong and not being violated, and the Beiyang central government declared war on Japan, Britain quickly announced its withdrawal from the Shandong battlefield.

Therefore, in the eyes of foreigners, the success of Huafei's in-depth plan is not only not inferior to that of Japan's own country. After this battle, countries will have to re-evaluate the strategic situation in East Asia. No matter what their conclusion is, Huafei's status in diplomacy in various countries will be significantly improved to the same level as the Beiyang central government, which is undoubtedly.

There was still a trace of dissatisfaction in Shanghai, and it disappeared instantly. Although the rickshaw drivers did not understand the meaning of this victory, they understood that it seemed that Commander Hua had won the battle again. Some rickshaw drivers shouted free solicitation to celebrate another great victory in the navy.

This scene can be seen in many places in Shanghai. After a rickshaw driver pulled the guest to his seat, he refused to charge the fare, saying that it was to celebrate another great victory of the National Defense Force Navy. The guest insisted on paying the fare, saying that it was to celebrate the great victory of the National Defense Force Navy. The scene of you pushing and blocking made many people happy. Some drivers went home and simply settled the score and found that their income today was several times higher than usual. Some people were excitedly thinking, No, why did Commander Hua win the battle, and we still make more money. The frontline soldiers fought hard, and we were too sorry for our conscience when we sat at home to make a fortune. No, all this money was used to buy war bonds tomorrow.

Not only the rickshaw drivers launched this action, but many other consumption places in the city, including teahouses, restaurants, hotels, inns, etc., have joined the activities of free hospitality and celebrating the victory. Some students and workers on vacation have even taken to the streets. I don’t know who suggested that countless people have launched a day of volunteer service. Using their own practical actions, cleaning the city roads, cleaning garbage in the garbage in the river, and helping with engineering construction are all volunteer voluntary labor.

Some retail merchants who were moved by these volunteers even had signs of free food for one day. The volunteer activities in Shanghai to celebrate the great victory quickly spread to many cities around and gradually spread to the entire autonomous region. Even some cities outside the autonomous region held similar celebrations.

On December 11th, the date of the Gregorian calendar gradually evolves into a grand celebration of volunteer activities from today. The lively scenes, happy fun, and public participation enthusiasm make this festival a large festival that is not inferior to the Spring Festival. This is a later story.

At this time, on the East China Sea, the Seagull-class reconnaissance aircraft was flying high altitude. While controlling the plane, the pilot was holding a high-magnitude telescope and staring at the distance at the horizon. Suddenly, a hunch of black smoke came into his sight. The pilot's heart jumped, quickly turned around and rushed towards the direction of the black smoke.

It was a warship, and it was an extremely huge giant ship. Looking from the telescope, even though the eight dual-equipped 356mm and the caliber giant cannon could not hit him at all, the driver could not help but feel a little scared.

The warship did not fly any flags, and some welding grounding tools and other facilities could even be seen on the deck. It was messy and disorderly, and there was basically no one to see. According to the information, this may be the battleship Kirishima captured from Japan.

The pilot turned the tail of the plane, turned the direction, and arrived at the position of the first bridge. He immediately saw from the telescope that four or five people on the bridge were holding telescopes and staring at him. It seemed that he had seen the sign on his plane, and a man waved at him cautiously.

"Isn't that the captain Zhu Bing and Captain Zhu?" The driver was overjoyed. Zhu Bing made military achievements in fighting the Beiyang Navy, and the photos were also published in the newspaper. Zhu Bing, a fellow driver, once made this young man admire him.

This time I met on the plane and felt different. I couldn't help but waved to the bridge hard and shouted, "Hey, hey, Captain Zhu, the commander asked me to welcome you. You are heroes. Hey, come home quickly, I'll go back to report to the commander!"

The people on the bridge saw the pilot waving to them and suddenly became happy. The team member who had been cautiously waved before said with a smile, "Haha, I am our plane. Captain Zhu is afraid that it is the enemy's weirdness, so he can't do it nervously!"

"Get out of here!" Zhu Bing also relaxed and said with a smile, "How many crises we encountered along the way? No one is allowed to relax their guard if we are not in the port! Don't look at our huge warships, but there is no fucking shell. Even if we encounter a torpedo boat worth hundreds of tons, we have no power to fight back. Can we be careless?"

Although he knew that there was not much coal, Zhu Bing still ordered him to drive in a straight line at the calculated limit speed along the way.

No one is sure that if you drive on the curve, you won’t encounter enemies. Instead of wasting time, it’s better to try your luck. Zhu Bing and his team drove the Kirishima out of the port with luck, and they are not gambling on the way.

Even when he saw the smoke from the merchant fleet, Zhu Bing ordered to avoid being exposed to his whereabouts. At this time, the Kirishima was completely a silver spear head, with a strong outside and a toothless tiger, and he could not show off his power at all.

"Captain, discover that the warship may be a cruiser!"
Chapter completed!
