Section 2 Section 1 In the first battle of the founding of the country

After hearing this, Tan Fenglin was still a little worried, so he asked Zhan Tianyou:

"Mr. Zhan, I want to know what the four giant ships are doing now? Can they deal with Japanese artillery and a large number of torpedo speedboats?"

Zhan Tianyou had already prepared, picked up a piece of information and read it:

"The three iron armored ships have been repaired, especially the Flash. The holes on the side of the ship have been covered with steel armor and have been riveted. The damaged secondary guns have been replaced with brand new 75mm caliber rapid-fire guns, and the dual main gun can also rotate freely.

Given the experience gained in this naval battle, all small-caliber secondary guns of Dingyuan and Zhenyuan will be cancelled, and replaced by 10 dual-mounted 120mm rapid-fire guns."

Zhan Tianyou's words caused a stir like a huge rock. Even Ludendolf, who was always steady, was moved by it and stood up and asked: "Is it true? 10 dual-mounted 120-caliber rapid-fire cannons? Although I don't understand the navy, there are not many warships equipped with rapid-fire cannons of so many caliber?"

Zhan Tianyou nodded, "Of course it's true."

"But there are so many rapid-fire guns there, and we can't produce rapid-fire guns of this caliber?" The question was Tan Fenglin. He was an expert and asked at once.

"We broke out twelve gates from Guangjia, Guangyi and Guangchuangchuangchuang. There are 11 sinking Yidao, 12 gates from Songdo, and 6 gates from Akitsuki. There are 41 120mm rapid-fire guns in total, and it is more than enough to be equipped with Dingzhen."

Hearing this, Tan Fenglin was already smiling from ear to ear, trying his best to pretend to be serious, but he still laughed out loud.

"Hahaha, now I'm not afraid of the torpedo boats of the little Japanese devils. Let them be finished a few thousand meters away."

Zhao Gang poured him a basin of cold water in time:

"Maple forest, there is already someone in the commander of the First Fleet to attack Yokosuka. You are responsible for attacking Nagasaki and Ono."

Tan Fenglin immediately glared at the people around him with dissatisfaction:

"Who dares to take my seat and take it out and see if I can catch up with half of me?"

For a moment, everyone burst into laughter, and Zhao Gang was so amused that he shouted:

"What do you think? I have appointed Scher, the commander of the First Fleet. It is a kind of compensation for him. If I hadn't acted recklessly in the Dagukou Naval Battle, I might not have suffered such serious losses? I did something wrong, but I took the blame and felt sorry for him, so I let him be the commander. In a few days, the German side will formally appoint him as the commander of the Far East Fleet."

When Tan Fenglin heard this, he felt that he could not win the position of commander of the First Fleet and could not create an unprecedented record. He couldn't help but feel disappointed.

Zhao Gang saw his appearance and ignored him. He assigned tasks to everyone and must do everything within three days.

Three days later, four giant ships of the First Fleet secretly sailed out of Lushun Port and headed to Yokosuka, whose future was unknown. Two days later, the Second Fleet will also leave the port and attack Nagasaki, and will attack Wu Port and Ono next.

If it goes well, many Japanese ports will tremble under the huge cannons and are forced to offer treasures in a humble manner to gain a chance to survive.

If it doesn't go well, all the navy and thousands of elite soldiers will be lost. Zhao Gang will be in a passive state of being beaten, and it will only take a moment to lose the army.

The future is so tempting and terrifying, but before the final result comes out, everything is hidden behind the smoke screen.

Mayflower is an American cargo ship, loading a large number of medicinal materials. After more than ten days of material navigation, I finally saw the lights in Nagasaki... No, I saw the fire in Nagasaki, and perhaps... I also saw the projection of volcanic hell on earth.

The scorching waves caused by the fire form strong winds with the cold air. Fire uses the wind to rely on the power of the fire, and everything surrenders to the tyranny of the fire demon. Steel turns into liquid in the twists of pain, and houses and trees turn into ashes in the crackling sound.

Even the ships anchored in the port caught fire, and many people hiding on the boat were burned to death. People screamed and jumped into the water with flames all over their bodies to avoid the burning of the flames. However, the poisonous gas that filled the air became a more deadly killer.

Those who were not burned to death were poisoned by colorless and odorless gas.

There were corpses that were burnt to the point of being unrecognizable floating in the harbor.

The Japanese side believes that the investigation was conducted and the Nagasaki fire on October 13.

It was first caused by a burning bomb from the Second Fleet, which then ignited hundreds of tons of coal stored in the port.

Overnight, the bustling Nagasaki disappeared, 67,000 buildings were completely destroyed, 60% of the buildings in the city were burned, and 22 of the combat readiness factories were all destroyed.

The fire also killed 3,793 people and seriously injured 20,000 people in Nagasaki.

80,000 people are homeless.

It took Japan more than ten days to remove the burnt corpses. The plague caused later killed 30,000 people, and Nagasaki almost became a ghost. By the time Nagasaki restored its port function, it was already three years later. The crimes of the Second Fleet were really horrifying and absolutely unforgivable.

Of course, the Second Fleet explained the reason for the cause of this shell. The Second Fleet originally intended to make a friendly visit to Nagasaki, but unexpectedly it was attacked by cannons in the port. The Second Fleet was forced to defend itself and expressed some regrets about Nagasaki's incident, hoping that similar situations would not occur in future friendly visits.

However, this situation did not improve at all in the future. That is, after Nagasaki, similar incidents occurred in Ono, but the only difference is that Ono has a relatively small population and most of them escaped early, so there are few casualties.

The Satsuma lord Shimazu Shinzu Kibin looked at the young man in front of him, and fire almost popped up in his eyes. The envoy of the Second Fleet actually brought a letter that was almost an ultimatum. The letter said, 'Due to the series of unfair treatment, the Second Fleet decided to return to China recently, but the food and supplies were not good. I hope that the Satsuma lord and the Nagashima lord each provided 1.5 million taels of silver. What if I disagree? Everyone is friends with water. Yours is mine, and mine is mine, so don't blame us for not being in love. Of course, if you want to talk to us, there is a saying: "Is love and friendship worth ten thousand gold?" It's okay to bring ten thousand kilograms of gold."

Shimazu Kibin understands the meaning of this letter. The examples of Nagasaki and Ono have already shown everything. Those who do not accept it will die!!

The young man opposite crossed his legs and asked impatiently:

"Have the old man thought about it? I'll give you a good word. Is there anything else to do?"

"Little General, I understand. The money needed will be collected within three days. You will go and ask for some good words."
