Start: Datang Wanli a lonely city

Chapter 1044 The expedition fleet is coming ()

While silently cursing "What the hell" in his heart, Lao Hei, who was lying behind a bunch of bushes, became indescribably excited.

That's when he realized something was wrong. After waiting for a minute or two, he finally saw the person coming.

All eight were seen, all dressed in black tights, with black hoods on their heads and a samurai sword on their backs.

The guys who were holding their backs while moving were moving towards the military camp here quickly.

With such a dress, who else could he be besides the legendary ninja among the Japanese devils?

Although they moved very fast during this process, the sound of their footsteps on the ground was very low; they also used some obstacles from time to time to carefully conceal their figures.

Tell the truth! If it weren't for the current Lao Hei, he would also have the same night vision ability as Ali and others.

In today's dark forest edge environment, it might not be possible to spot them for a while.

After discovering this Japanese ninja, Lao Hei actually only had to shout, and a regiment of soldiers in the military camp just a few hundred meters behind him could get up and get fully armed in three minutes.

Then the army was dispatched, pulling out these ninjas like a cat catching mice and shooting them to death.

But Lao Hei had no idea of ​​doing this at all.

This is the legendary ninja, he has not been hacked to death yet.

Among the entire team, Hu Biao and the concubine were lucky enough to meet once. At that time, Hu Biao still killed several people with guns, but only the concubine killed one with her own hands.

It is said that the feel is very good.

So in Lao Hei's heart, he has always been thinking about trying to kill several ninjas with his own hands.

I originally thought that I would have to stay on the island to train, and there would be no chance of meeting ninjas; I never thought that a group of people would actually come to my door today.

With great joy, Lao Hei released a big knife from the 1 cubic capacity space ring on his finger with a thought.

During World War II, the sword squad of the 29th Army chopped down the Japs at Xifengkou, cutting the Japs out of their courage.

Naturally, there are no firearms in his space ring. In fact, they all have submachine guns, rifles, and pistols; it's just that killing a Japanese enemy with a gun is more enjoyable than killing him with a gun.

With this thought in mind, when the leading ninja was still two meters away from him, Lao Hei suddenly rose from the ground and rushed towards him.

The steps under your feet turn into high lunges during the movement.

Holding the back of the knife with his left hand, palm down, fingers pointed to the right, he slashed the ninja's face with the knife.

The move used is also related to the Japs. It is the first one of the "Eight Breaking Blades" used by the Broadsword Team to attack the Japs.

Perhaps it was because he had hacked a Japanese for the first time that Lao Hei entered an unprecedented excitement.

In this second mission, the veteran who had joined the team actually showed off his strength without any reservation; it was immediately terrifying to all the ninjas.

Suddenly he struck out with a knife, which was fast and cruel.

So what if a ninja has gone through all kinds of rigorous training since he was a child and is very agile compared to ordinary people?

After being suddenly attacked, a 'bad' thought came to my mind, and my hands and body had no time to react.

There was a piece of red cloth wrapped around the handle of the knife, so that when it was swung, it looked like a large knife of fire, and the sharp blade had already struck him in the face.

The whole face and head were split open.

Suddenly blood spattered, and a lot of it flew onto Lao Hei's head and face.

It's just that the little devil's blood, for the flower growers, not only does not make people feel scared, but also has the effect of increasing courage and combat effectiveness.

After letting out a long roar, Lao Hei, wielding a broadsword, rushed toward the remaining Japanese ninjas.

The remaining moves of the eight breaking swords were used one by one: swinging sideways to block the waist, sweeping autumn leaves with the wind, stepping and teasing like thunder and running, etc.

By the time each of the eight swords were used once, the eight Japs had become at least twenty different body parts on the ground.

After sheathing the knife, it was as if the thoughts in his heart were clear, and his whole body was filled with indescribable joy, and he roared loudly.

In this long roar, something magical happened; he was stuck at the peak state of the seventh level of "Dragon Elephant Prajna Kung Fu" for a while, and then broke through to the eighth level extremely smoothly.

In such a state, if he were to return to the copy of the Divine Eagle, Jinlun Dharma King would still be unable to defeat him.

But when it comes to single-handedly challenging Dalba and Huodu, they are not timid at all.

Feeling the indescribable energy that filled his whole body since the breakthrough, Lao Hei shouted again: "It feels good~"

As a result, as soon as he finished speaking, a sentence came to his ears:

"What the hell! Lao Hei, you're done having fun, but you should leave some for us brothers."

It turned out that after hearing Lao Hei's first roar, the nearby watchdogs and Xiong Da rushed over with all their strength; but after waiting, they still didn't get a single Japanese to hack to death.

In the following time, the troops on the island dispatched two divisions of troops and launched an all-round search.

Finally, a small boat and two Japanese soldiers were found in a hidden bay on the west side of the island.

Seeing the arrival of the search team, the two Japanese soldiers immediately rocked the oars and tried to escape; but they were greeted by a hastily set up 60 mm caliber mortar that fired three rapid fire rounds.

Both the men and the boat were wiped out by a single cannonball.

It was also through the fact that the Japanese risked their lives to go to the island for reconnaissance that Hu Biao and the others knew that as the Sino-Japanese War of Sino-Japanese War approached, the Japanese also panicked...

******

Time, two days later.

Location: An island country, in a city that will be quite famous for its hot weather a hundred years from now.

When I heard a hurried knock on the door, I was just born in a samurai family of the Choshu clan, but relied on my own talent and hard work to work hard.

After continuous promotion, he is now the chairman of the Privy Council of the island country.

Even more so, the island country currently has a standing army of 6.3 people and a reserve army of 23 people. Such a modern armed force is the soul of the mountain county.

He didn't even look away from the document in front of him, and just said casually: "Come in~"

That look is quite a bit like a big shot's motionless attitude.

It's a pity that this guy's so-called immobility completely broke his defense in the next minute.

Because when his adjutant opened the door and walked in, he hesitated for a moment or two, and then told him a huge piece of bad news:

"Your Excellency Shanxian, Xuanyang Society has just sent a latest report.

They said that none of the abdominal family ninjas they sent out to investigate the suspicious islands in Java two days ago had still not returned.

So so far, it can be judged that this operation has been a complete failure.

Therefore, we still have no idea how many fleets and infantry the Xuange Camp currently has. We can only analyze various signs and believe that there should be quite a few.

Even among their numerous factories, Xuanyangshe only sneaked into some ordinary factories to take a look.

In some other heavily guarded factories, we don’t even know what is being produced in them. "

After hearing the above reports, Shanxian's face immediately became extremely ugly. After he slapped the table hard, he cursed:

“Baga, they are all a bunch of trash.

The head mountain is full of trash, the belly family ninjas are trash, and everyone in Xuanyang Society is also trash~"

After hearing such scolding, his adjutant's face immediately showed a look of approval; it was not that this little devil was trying to flatter Shan County, but that he knew the huge problem his boss was currently facing.

According to the news sent back by the personnel deployed by the empire on the Chaoxian Peninsula (hereinafter referred to as Chaodao).

Ever since the Dongxue Party rebelled, it has quickly built up an astonishing momentum; it can be said that there are many followers in the countryside, and it currently occupies three-fifths of the entire Chao Island.

Even the Donghak Party, which now has a strength of hundreds of thousands, is ready to attack Jeonju, an important town in the Three Souths.

The Chaodao court represented by Li Xi and Concubine Min can now only control some big cities and limited surrounding areas.

Faced with the astonishing size of the Donghak Party, the Chaoshima court's fragile force was unable to annihilate them, and it was difficult to even defend Jeonju City.

Even including Yuan Datou, the six battalions of the Qing Army currently stationed in Seoul are still far behind in quelling the chaos.

Because in terms of organization, the Daqing Army was originally supposed to have 3000 people, but in fact it only had or people, and its combat effectiveness was not strong.

Therefore, there is no doubt that the Chaodao court will definitely seek help from Daqing, the sect leader. Chaodao is already the only remaining vassal state of Daqing, the so-called Celestial Kingdom; so just for the sake of face, Daqing will definitely send troops to help.

Except for the Huai army under Li Zhongtang, there is no other possibility for the troops to be dispatched at that time.

For this opponent, after years of research, the empire can be said to be sure of victory.

According to their judgment, this war is not so much a war between the island country and Daqing, but a war between the island country and Beiyang, and Li Zhongtang.

The Huai army under his command was just an old-fashioned army equipped with modern light weapons, and was quite lax in training and quite backward in tactics.

The Beiyang Fleet under his command would have frightened the island countries just five or six years ago.

After all these years of hard work by the island nation, even in order to purchase warships, His Majesty only had one meal a day to save money, the navy also has a considerable advantage.

Therefore, the island country will definitely win these wars on Chao Island.

Then, once the vassal state of Chaodao is lost, Daqing's entire Bohai Bay, Northeastern region, and the capital city will be exposed to the military front of the island state.

Therefore, the old Buddha and Emperor Guangxu of Daqing will definitely agree to all the conditions of the island country.

Then, they can suck Daqing's blood and gradually make the island country stronger, and eventually make the entire Greater East Asia their own backyard.

In the past, whenever people in Shan County and other island countries thought about this wonderful consequence, they would get very excited.

But just when the war was about to begin, which was the most critical time, a huge threat like the Xuange Camp suddenly appeared.

Although they don't know why, they actually show such great hostility to the island country.

We can still be extremely certain that Xuange Camp will definitely join this war when the time comes; their existence is the biggest variable.

God knows! Almost a year has passed since the native riots in Surabaya City.

Relying on the full support of the Chinese people in the Nanyang region, Xuange Camp has secretly accumulated a strong force.

In short, after taking into account the variable Xuange Camp, the island country no longer has any confidence in winning the battle with Daqing.

The problem is that they have been planning for this battle for so many years.

Too many things have been paid, and almost all the potential of the island country has been overdrawn.

For example, in order to train new army units and build a modern and powerful fleet, the tax revenue of the island country is already four times that of Daqing.

In addition, the government of the island country borrowed money from the devils in the West and was burdened with heavy debts.

Nowadays, the financial situation of the island country and the grievances of the people have reached the limit. If there is no huge victory and an amazing amount of compensation, the island country will face a huge crisis.

For a time, people like Shan County were faced with confusion.

It is not possible to continue to implement the plan, because in one battle, all the wealth they have accumulated through hard work will be completely consumed.

Giving up on the plan, or even delaying it for a while, is not an option.

Today's island country, under their leadership, is like a speeding carriage pulled by a mad warhorse. Any pull on the reins will only cause the carriage to crash and people to die.

Faced with these difficulties, Shan County’s current reaction is completely understandable.

Just when the devil in Shan County was about to go crazy under the dilemma, the door of the office was suddenly kicked open heavily from the outside.

Shanxian was furious and violently attacked the people outside.

However, he discovered that the person who came was one of his most valued subordinates, the director of the island country's army station, Kawakami Soroku. At this moment, he was holding a telegram in his hand and walked in with a look of ecstasy.

Shan County took a look at the telegram and found that it contained a lot of content.

But just the top sentence made him equally ecstatic: Today, the Yinfa expedition fleet has officially dispatched troops, with an unprecedented scale.

After reading the entire message at the speed of one glance and ten lines.

The whole person in Shanxian County was even more excited and trembling, because this meant that facing the threat of the Yinfa expedition fleet, it was very difficult for Xuange Camp to even protect itself.

Not to mention having the energy to intervene in their war with Daqing at the current critical moment.

After taking another look at the message and confirming that this good thing was not his dream, Shanxian returned to his usual calm demeanor.

He said calmly to Kawakami Kaoroku:

"Summon all the senior staff members of the staff immediately, we need to study it carefully.

The war with Daqing continues, but the original plan needs to be modified; we need to invest more and greater strength to defeat Daqing, a bloated and slow opponent, in a faster time.

Kawakami-kun, our island country will definitely become the true master of the entire Far East~"

******

It was still at the same time, but the place was changed to Surabaya City.

"Lao Hu, just tell me what you think, and then everyone will think about whether these ideas are feasible." After reading a message in her hand, the imperial concubine said this.

Then, after fanning the choking smell of smoke in front of his nose with his hand, he stood up and opened all the windows in the room.

When the smelly wind blew in, Hu Biao, Yang Dongli, Duan Zheng, Shi Polu, Da Yu, Zhan Xiang and others were all frowning and puffing away.

Suddenly, my spirits were lifted.

But after thinking about the news in the telegram, I still couldn't relax.

Say it! In Shanxian and others, they received the news of the departure of the Yinfa expedition fleet; Hu Biao and others also sent back an urgent message through personnel stationed in the Europa area in advance.

Because a whole fleet set off, such a big movement could not be concealed.

Not to mention, many newspapers in Yin and France reported such a thing grandly.

In the message they received, they also clearly listed the approximate size and strength of the Yinfa expedition fleet dispatched this time.

Fleet: The Yin Army dispatched a total of 19 battleships, the flagship of which was the Sovereign-class battleship that was just launched more than a year ago: Sovereign.

The displacement of this thing alone has reached an astonishing more than 1.4 tons, which can surpass the overall tonnage of more than two-thirds of the Xuange Camp fleet.

In terms of armor protection, the armor thickness of some key parts reached a terrifying 457 mm.

Compared to the flagship of the Xuange Camp Fleet, the armor thickness is almost half.

武器方面，这玩意有4门343毫米口径主炮，10门152.4毫米口径速射炮，12门57毫米口径速射炮作为副炮。

In addition, there are 7 powerful torpedo launchers with a caliber of 406 mm.

It can be said that it is the current divine weapon of the Great Yin Empire.

To put it bluntly, just this one "Junquan" can destroy the entire Beiyang Fleet, which is as powerful as the entire Xuange Camp Fleet.

The French army is naturally inferior to the Yin army in terms of navy.

However, in this expedition fleet, 12 warships were still dispatched; the two sides had a total of 31 warships, which could almost roam this planet.

In addition to these, there are more than forty transport ships in the fleet, as well as temporarily requisitioned wounded.

It is used to transport supplies, and both sides add up to a total of 3.2 army troops.

Among these 3.2 people, the Yin army dispatched 1.7 people and the French army dispatched 1.5 people.

Good guy! This scale is much greater than the two duck wars before and after, and they are really worthy of their attention.

Of course, the above warships and troops are the planned size after arriving in the Far East.

There are a considerable number of warships among them, which are mobilized from many Yin magic colonies such as Mumbai and Annan, and they can only possess the terrifying power after being united together.

Now, the warships and troops that have just set off from the mainland of Europe only account for about half of them.

However, the strength of this expedition fleet, which far exceeded expectations, still caused Hu Biao and the others to fall into a long silence after receiving the news.

Damn it! My head hurts...

　PS: The circuit was inspected at the end of the year and I didn’t call until after 7pm, so I will update one chapter first and the next chapter will be later.
