Chapter 190 Tanegashima
Under the airship, Shangguan Yang, who knew Wang Yi was coming, greeted him in person. Wang Yi looked at him and smiled. The two of them had met each other, and Wang Yi still had the impression.
"You graduated from the senior command class of the Naval Officer Academy at the 78th level. You have served as the commander of the frigate of the Junzhu. You performed outstandingly in the battle against Japan and against France, which is very good!" Wang Yi smiled and patted Shangguan Yang on the shoulder.[]
Shangguan Yang was more than ten years older than him, but no one present felt that Wang Yi's actions were inappropriate. On the contrary, Shangguan Yang was very excited and saluted Wang Yi and said, "I am honored to be able to serve the country!"
Wang Yi smiled and said, "Let's go, by the way, don't make things difficult for those Germans, just give them a little warning."
"I understand!"
The Northeast Autonomous Region is thousands of miles away from Germany. Germany has not yet entered East Asia on a large scale like Britain and France, so there is no irreconcilable contradiction with the Northeast Autonomous Region. Of course, the German Emperor William I naturally had some fantasies about East Asia, but it is difficult to achieve success in the face of the Northeast's strength. The Northeast Autonomous Region government has recently shouted out its Monroe Declaration, that Asia, especially East Asia and Southeast Asia, should be handled by the East Asian countries themselves. Once European and American countries introduce it.
When entering, the Northeast will regard it as an enemy invasion. At the same time, the Northeast reiterated that it welcomes free trade between countries, and the first person to be forced to sign a free trade agreement with the Northeast Autonomous Region was our lovely neighbor, Japan. The United States responded hugely, but when Wang Yi looked back and claimed that he was ready to intervene in the American affairs, the United States' reaction gradually calmed down. The Americans did not allow other continents to intervene in the American affairs, but in turn they had to intervene in other continents' affairs, or even interfere in the affairs of other continents, and really regarded themselves as the world's largest power?
Everyone began to walk outside the airport. Shangguan Yang deliberately lags behind Wang half of his position. Han Xiujing and Lin Tae-hee followed them, surrounded by a group of guards led by Chu Yuan. Wang glanced at Shangguan Yang, and Han Xiujing immediately reminded in a low voice: "Commander Shangguan, sir, like to talk side by side with others."
Shangguan Yang then remembered the rules of the captain, and immediately followed a few steps and walked side by side with Wang Yi.
Wang Yi didn't say anything more about this and changed the topic: "Have the Japanese been honest recently?"
Shangguan Yang did not expect that Wang Yi had come up and talked about official business, but he quickly replied: "There is no action on Kyushu, but the British and Americans are now providing a lot of assistance to Japan. Since the new British prime minister came to power, they have increased their technical assistance to the Japanese navy, and Americans have more private capital to enter the shipbuilding industry. It is said that Japan has now begun to manufacture ships with displacement of 300 to 40 million tons. If it goes well, it can be launched next year and sea trials."
"Oh? Little Japan is working very hard." Wang Yi joked.
"Not!" Everyone around laughed.
While talking, the group came outside the terminal and then went to the hotel together. The airship needed to be inspected and fueled, and it would set sail again tomorrow. Of course, if Wang Yi wanted, it would be fine for a few days in the evening.
At the same time, Zeppelin also checked in another hotel, followed by an adjutant.
"Captain, I have contacted the German Embassy in Qing Dynasty, and the other party has protested to the Northeast."
Zeppelin nodded after hearing this, but he also understood that even if Germany is 108,000 miles from the Northeast, the government and the military protest, it doesn't matter to the Northeast. Besides, the relationship between the two sides is good, and the government is unlikely to really fall out with the Northeast for this matter. After all, both in Europe and Africa, Germany needs the Northeast Autonomous Region to balance the pressure of the British.
"Okay, I understand. Tell the soldiers to obey the arrangements of the Northeast Autonomous Region and not to disobey their intentions."
The adjutant was stunned after hearing this. As a German soldier, since he stepped on the Frenchman of the former world's No. 1 Army under his feet, the German soldiers' souls had a hint of pride of despising the world.
Yes, the British navy is very powerful, but no matter how powerful they are, it would be a joke if they can occupy Germany and send the army to capture the German land. Not to mention that the Germans themselves do not believe it, I am afraid that the British will not have such confidence. The current situation in Europe is that Britain and Germany compete for hegemony, but no one can do anything to each other! France and other countries are gradually declining. However, the British have the advantage of the navy, they can attack and retreat and defend, and take the initiative in the battlefield.
"Captain, is this OK?"
Zeppelin glared at his adjutant and said, "What else can we do if we don't do this? Armed to seize control of the airship? What's the difference between dying and dying? Even if we get on the airship, do you still think we may escape the pursuit of the Northeast airship?"
The adjutant was speechless and could not speak.
Zeppelin patted the adjutant's shoulder at this time and said earnestly: "I know you are not convinced, but people have to bow their heads under the eaves! Our German Empire is indeed very powerful, but do you think there is any chance of winning against the Northeast, which is thousands of miles apart?"
The adjutant was very young and looked full of energy, but as a German, he was born with a rigorous spirit.
"No!"
Zeppelin finally smiled. In the bad situation in front of him, his adjutant was at least hopelessly arrogant. "Just understand! If we really have such strength, the first thing we need to solve must be not the Northeast Autonomous Region."
The adjutant understood that Zeppelin was talking about Britain, and he sank down, and then listened to Zeppelin's story.
"This may not be a chance for us."
"Opportunity?" the adjutant was puzzled.
"Where is this place? If I guess it's right, it should be an air force base in the Northeast." Zeppelin's eyes flashed with excitement. "If it weren't for such an unpleasant encounter today, how could we have such a good opportunity to observe these air bullies at close range?"
The adjutant only then understood Zeppelin's intention, thinking that his boss was really strange, and his obsession with airships had reached this level.
Zeppelin continued, mutteringly: "Although our German Empire has developed large airships, it has no practical ability compared to the Northeast. Not only is the gross tonnage and load capacity weak, the floating air body continues to use flammable and explosive hydrogen. If so, the airship will not only attack Britain across the sea, but it will be just a large bomb target. It will not be able to achieve the battlefield survivability of the Northeast airship."
The adjutant was silent and nodded constantly.
"If we can have the Northeast airship manufacturing technology, the English Channel will be smoothed in front of us, and our airship army can easily attack the British islands. Let their huge and useless navy completely lose their place of use!" Zeppelin's tone was strong, with a crazy belief in victory. "I want to meet the big man who came to Seed Island today! If I guess correctly, he is Wang Yi, the chairman of the Dashang Group."
"What if he doesn't meet you?"
"Then I'll die to show him!"
The adjutant was startled and unexpectedly got such an answer.
The weather was good today, but the sun was setting. The five-story hotel was facing the endless Pacific Ocean. The sound of waves carried a calming power, which was endless, surprisingly did not make Wang Yi lying in the bathroom feel bored. The salty air wrapped in moisture and passed through the window. The slight sea breeze made this subtropical island look approachable and not so unbearable, which was somewhat beyond Wang Yi's expectations.
Half an hour later, Wang Yi, who had finished taking a shower, felt his expression get up. Han Xiujing walked over and said, "Sir, can I have dinner now?"
Wang nodded and said, "Where is Commander Shangguan?"
"I'm waiting outside, and local officials and wealthy businessmen from Seed Island also arrived together. I hope to meet you, what does sir mean?"
Wang Yiyi smiled and said, "Since you are here, let's see you all."
"Yes!" Han Xiujing bowed and bowed, then left the room and sent a message.
Lin Tae-hee walked out of the inner room at this time, holding a few clothes in her hand.
"Sir, which one are you going to wear?"
"That loose and casual piece is enough."
Han Xiujing and Lin Tae-hee have a clear division of labor. Han Xiujing is responsible for handling foreign affairs, while Lin Tae-hee is responsible for Wang Yi's internal affairs. Before leaving, the two girls were brought to death by Tong Qianjia'er many times. If Qianjia hadn't really been unable to leave, they would have to follow him. Although Tong Qianjia was very generous to four North Korean girls on weekdays, once Wang Yi had something wrong with them, Qianjia's face was not something that ordinary people could bear.
There were more than 20 officials and wealthy businessmen who came to meet Wang Yi. On his right hand, he was now sitting Shangguan Yang, and then the commander of the Northern Radical Naval Base, Bai Tianxi. On the other side were the mayor of Northern Radical, Middle Radical and Southern Radical Mayors, and the rest of the officials were on another round table. Obviously, their identities were not enough to sit with Wang.
The atmosphere in the restaurant was very warm. What made Wang Yi feel strange was that most of the merchants who came to see him today were Japanese. Although they spoke Chinese, the tone was very strange. Later, Shangguan Yang explained to him privately that after the sea and air battle between the Northeast and the Japanese-French coalition forces was over, Seed Island was occupied by Northeast China. The Seed Island owner, who was originally affiliated with Japan, surrendered and committed suicide by separatism. At that time, there was no Japanese civilian on Seed Island. Those who were willing to return to Japan could return by boat and take away all their property. However, once they stayed, they would be the people of Northeast China, but from then on, they would completely cut off their ties with Japan. The Osumi Strait would have warships and airships cruised all year round.
After a decision, nearly 40% of the Japanese stayed on Seed Island, were allocated to cultivated land, and became farmers. Later, many immigrants from the Qing Dynasty arrived, and in the past three or four years, people gradually became rich and lived and worked in peace. Japanese civilians who were gradually accustomed to their new life now call themselves Northeastern people, and no longer regarded themselves as Japanese.
A new word appeared in Wang Yi's heart... Japanese traitor!
