Chapter 398 The confidence of declaring war

The warm Indian Ocean has been soaked for a long time. Even if it is July, the hottest season of the year in Vladivostok, when two submarines sent a commando of 50 people only a few hundred meters away from the shore, Dong Dahai jumped into the water couldn't help shivering.

When they arrived at the shore 20 minutes later, everyone immediately striped off the skin and water on their bodies, because this is already a war zone, and any minor problems will affect the task. You know, the sacrifices made in the eagle battlefield these years are less than half of the disease.

After concentrating the scattered team members, Dong Dahai quickly ran in the predetermined direction with everyone, panting with dark shadows. Even if someone saw it, he would probably think it was a group of hungry wolves.

After a few special bamboo clips, he finally met the intelligence officer dressed as an old farmer and said with a smile, "Brother, you are not bad in this dress."

The intelligence officer also seems to be a difficult master. After staring at the night eagle, he said angrily, "Come on, don't be arrogant. If you have the ability, you can try to work hard for the Russians for a few months?"

Do the hard work? Give it back to the Russians! How can I do that? I'm a night eagle.

Dong Dahai hurriedly avoided the topic. When the night eagles occupied around one after another, he took the intelligence officer to sit down cross-legged and asked, "How's the situation?" Have you found a way?"

The matter was urgent, and the intelligence officer did not have time to do business with Dong Dahai. He shook his head and said solemnly: "Vladivostok is located in a remote area. In addition, after we blocked the sea and repaired it intermittently, we have been relying on French freighters to maintain it, but the governor of Alexayev was probably really scared by us, so we repaired the arms warehouse. Far away from the shore, and the previous idea of using wood was cancelled, all of which were reinforced with solid stone. Last month, the barbed wire was suddenly pulled up around and sent a confidant to stay at night. It was difficult for outsiders to approach.

Hearing this, Dong Hai was very embarrassed. His mission this trip was to take the lead in destroying the largest arsenal of the Russian army in the Far East!

Because according to the latest information sent by France, France has begun to transport a lot of good things to Russia in the past few years. In the past few years, not to mention the hundreds of mines used to block the waterways, there are at least 50,000 shells alone.

This is not the most worrying thing for the general reference. What's more worrying is that Russia has hoarded a large number of mines here, and it is said that the total number may exceed 30,000! Nighthawk played with landmines very early, so it was very clear about the harm of this kind of thing. These guys buried in the earth were more difficult to clear than the big brothers in the water. If the tactics were right, 30,000 mines would be enough to kill the soldiers of a regiment.

So after getting the information, the general reference is too lazy to do the multi-line work of confirming the exact surname. Even if it is a legend, it must be sent to destroy this place.

"It seems that there are disadvantages for the navy to be too cruel!"

When the intelligence officer roughly drew the location and defense map of the arsenal, Dong Dahai's eyebrows deepened, far away from the coast, and the position was almost open. In addition, a full 2,000 garrisoned soldiers had to rely on their own people to carry out sneak attacks, which was not enough for others to plug their teeth!

And the all-stone structure requires at least the 152mm heavy shells installed in the army to break open, but the night eagle is a light army. Although it carries TNT with it, it can also be touched?

Is there no way?

"There's no way."

The intelligence officer squeaked his lips. Dong Dahai sighed bitterly from the bottom of his heart. Isn't he just tish? Why are the people in the intelligence department so stingy? So he quickly stuffed two packs of cigarettes and said with a smile, "Cuban tobacco."

What a cigarette!

The intelligence officer smiled and speculated. In fact, even if Dong Dahai didn't give it, he had to say the way, but this way made him feel that he made up for the hard work here for a few months. After meeting and being ridiculed by Dong Dahai, he became serious and pointed to the position of the warehouse towards the twin cities and drew a line. He said, "Recently, the Russian army has probably noticed something, so every few days there will be carriages and horses to pull ammunition to the Twin Cities, and yesterday I saw them pull out a few cannons, so..."

Before the intelligence officer finished speaking, Dong Dahai's eyes suddenly lit up: "Do you mean to take the opportunity to rob the convoy and then set up the cannon?"

The intelligence officer despised Dong Dahai and said, "Brother, this is a big guy with all-stone structure. It is reinforced with cement. How many 75mm shells do you think it will take to smash?"

A brother made Dong Dahai feel cordial. Before it was over, the black line on his forehead became longer and longer. This guy was really a difficult master. He immediately said, "Come on, brother, if you have any tricks, just say it. If it really doesn't work, I'll lead someone to attack!"

The intelligence officer smiled and finally stopped selling the customs. He pointed to the edge of the warehouse and said, "There is a secret road here. It was originally used to use the fireproof reservoir to walk the water, but later found that it could not be diverted. After the Russians were lazy and did not say that they wanted to fill it up here. When we found out, we summoned the Chinese workers who repaired the warehouse to add it quietly. It's a little longer and extends to the foundation of the warehouse.

It turned out that we were going to use this secret road, but the Russians made the cement foundation very solid. We couldn't quietly chisel and put the explosives in it. However, although there are Russian soldiers stationed here, the location is remote, and there are only a few guards at ordinary times. With your ability, you should be able to touch it quietly.

"Wait a minute." Dong Dahai stopped and said, "Didn't you say that the foundation is very solid and can't be pierced?" Then what can we do when we go in?

"Brother, we are the special service team. We have to work quietly. You are the army!" The intelligence officer glanced at him and said, "Pick more explosives, lift off this foundation, and the wall of the warehouse will collapse. At that time, you just need to point the cannon at it."

"How do you know that the wall will fall down?"

The intelligence officer pulled out a grass, chewed it in his mouth and said proudly, "Brother, I used to study architecture in the United States, specializing in building houses, and don't forget that this warehouse is all built by local Chinese workers. If you can't figure it out, won't my hard work in the past few months be in vain?"

"A student of architecture? Then why don't you go to the Ministry of Construction? A night eagle on the side blinked his eyes and wondered why this guy didn't do it decently, but went to the intelligence department to carry his head and run around.

"I like this job. It's exciting. I can wander around the world. I can see the buildings of many countries, and." The intelligence officer grinned, suddenly lowered his voice, raised his hands and shook it: "There is a benefit of this job. The cost of sleeping with women can be reimbursed. Do you know how many Russian women I have slept here for a few months?"

Looking at the old farmer dressed like an old farmer, but slapping and turning over the intelligence officer, Dong Dahai finally couldn't help swearing: "Fuck, this is okay!"

Whether the intelligence officer heard this rude word or not, at least it solved the biggest problem in the task. As long as he could blow up the Russian army's largest Far East arms warehouse, even if he slept with the woman of Nicholas II, there was no problem.

"The table, start assigning tasks!"

When the nighthawks arrived at the road outside the warehouse under the leadership of intelligence officers and hid, the hot sun finally came out. As the sun got higher and higher, a team of horse convoys finally appeared in the distance as expected.

In the sound of horses' hoofs, a group of Russian cavalry leaned lazily on the back of the horse, bowing their heads with guns on their backs, as if they were a little swayed by the sun above their heads.

Behind the convoy, hundreds of Chinese workers drove carriages full of ammunition under the supervision of soldiers, but they occupied the Chinese land in their hearts and hated the Russian soldiers who used the Chinese as cattle and horses.

Especially when the news that the domestic army was going to fight began to spread, it seemed that everyone's heart became hot and uneasy, even more anxious than the sun in the sky.

But the day goes by, but there is still no movement in the south. You know, it will snow here in three months. That kind of overwhelming snowstorm is not suitable for war.

Everyone muttered quietly, studying when the south side would come, and they were ready to shake their heads and sigh. It was estimated that when there was no hope this year, they only heard a crisp bang suddenly in their ears, and then the sound became as dense as a rainstorm.

When they began to look around in horror, they suddenly found that the Russian soldiers on horseback began to fall one by one, and red blood flowers exploded from them, and even the Russian infantry next to them fell one after another.

As the last dozen Russian soldiers in custody could not turn their heads and flee, dozens of men in legendary military uniforms suddenly rushed out of the dense forest next to them.

It's them, it's them!

It's our Chinese army!

After Dong Dahai took the night eagle and these Chinese workers to salute, he didn't have time to communicate. He immediately pushed two 75mm cannons to the hillside in the distance, and the rest of the people began to move the ammunition box in a hurry.

Seeing the soldiers pulling cannons, the Chinese workers immediately put down their reins and ran to help. With some efforts, they finally pushed the heavy cannons to the mountain bag, and countless Russian soldiers had been killed from the distant warehouse area.

In front of the menagment Russian soldiers, the Chinese workers began to worry, but a few minutes later, when there was a loud noise in the distance, the corner of the warehouse group immediately broke a big hole, but their hearts began to adjust the muzzle as the night eagle, stuffed two yellow and orange shells into the gun chamber and froze.

In the distance at the foot of the mountain, countless horses' hoofs began to sound, and a team of Russian soldiers began to come here. The Chinese workers were nervous and didn't know what these seemingly strange men were going to do.

In this anxiety, only two thumps were heard, and the shells were like eyes, drilling in from a hole full of debris in the distance, and then.

Heaven and earth seemed to explode. With the sudden rise of huge mushroom clouds, the earth under his feet shook! Everyone's eyes widened, and even the soldiers who came from the warehouse area were stunned. They couldn't believe that the solid ammunition depot was completely torn apart by an explosion and two shells.

"Go!" Looking at the dull-faced Russian soldiers at the foot of the mountain, Dong Dahai smiled waving to the Chinese workers and disappeared into the dense forest with everyone.

With this explosion, the whole of Siberia seemed to be boiling. Under the command of the Special War Command, more than a dozen reconnaissance battalions worked together with the night eagles to shuttle back and forth on this vast land. Countless grains and grass were burned, and soldiers and officers became the targets of hunting. Explosions, fires and smoke, every day. They all appeared, and even eventually spread to the main artery of the Siberian Railway. It was not until a train full of soldiers was blown to pieces that Russia noticed that if it did not eradicate these people, it would probably lose the war.

In the face of the situation that the war had quietly opened, Kuropatkin hesitated again and again. When the telegraph and telephone lines were cut to pieces, he could only send people to report the news here to St. Petersburg while sending a large number of mobile Cossack cavalry to patrol, trying to expel these that had not been seen so far. , but for the lower-level officers who proposed that they should declare war immediately, they stubbornly ordered the troops to prevent attacks without the emperor's order.

Special warfare is a special warfare. Although it can rely on haunted harassment and attacks to constantly attack the other party and consume the other party, in the face of hundreds of thousands of troops, such a scale of strength is far from enough.

Li Mo also knew this. As the declaration of war approached little by little, his heart seemed to be uneasy, but when an economic report was handed in front of him, he was relieved.

The wide grape leaves blocked the sun that ravaged Yanjing, and the gentle breeze blew away the heat, but these still did not make him feel more comfortable than the statistics in his hand.

It has been 14 years since I returned to this world. I have been stationed in Hawaii for 12 years, I have been stationed in the Northeast for nine years, I have been stationed in Yanjing for six years, and I have completed the four years of North and South reunification!

From killing a ship at the age of twelve, to now at the age of twenty-six, time seems to be passing by, and my goal is getting closer and closer.

Few people, or even no one at all, understand that in fact, in the first severe winter in Canada, they wrote a thick plan and pushed forward little by little according to this plan.

Few people know that when the beautiful Honolulu changed in his hands for two years, in fact, he had already bought a large number of patented technologies and machinery and equipment that filled the entire warehouse area through Chile and other countries, in the name of the Kingdom of Hawaii.

When the joint fleet was completely annibbed and landed in Ryukyu, it took advantage of the opportunity to buy much-needed machine materials again, and once again filled the island.

In fact, the crazy hoarding reserves are still working today. If there is no such inexplicable behavior of hoarding and seemingly crushing funds, how can the current large-scale Northeast Industrial Zone come?

Especially his persistent and crazy investment in the shipbuilding industry has led to Dalian, Dandong and Ryukyu with a world-class scale and even some technologies far ahead after the relocation and merger of the Hawaii shipyard into the north under the current industrial capacity. Three major shipyards.

Yes, there are still many shortcomings in China.

For example, there is a serious shortage of skilled workers, and private industry and commerce have not fully developed, but this still cannot change the reality that Xinhua is changing rapidly! So Li Enfu and Huang Zichen, who were sitting opposite, smiled and even had a trace of pride in the quiet conversation. Yes, it was pride!

Because what they bring today is a vital economic data!

As an important indicator of the industrial revolution, steel production has always been the hardest indicator. Since entering Honolulu, Li Mo has attached great importance to the development of steel.

In order to cooperate with the shipyard, he built a steel mill with an annual output of 50,000 tons of steel under the narrow land situation. After occupying Ryukyu, he built a similar steel mill, and then quietly built one in Taiwan.

But the problem is still very big. The key is not that he has no ability or resources, but that he does not have enough land.

It was not until he entered the northeast that the situation changed. In the past two years, he purchased a large number of steelmaking equipment and machinery from Britain, the United States and other countries. Finally, he smashed the Fengtian Iron and Steel Plant, which could produce millions of tons of steel per year before the raw materials were completely solved. After the construction of the steel mill was completed or even started, he landed again. It took three years to build Dalian Iron and Steel Factory of the same scale, Changchun Iron and Steel Plant.

At that time, many people thought he was crazy, because at that time, there were very few iron ore resources that could be mined immediately in the three northeastern provinces, and the annual steel output in the Qing Dynasty was only 20,000 tons, and there was no need for such a large steel mill.

However, when Maoshan iron ore was successfully positioned and the iron ore was discovered in the three northeastern provinces one after another, the voice of suspicion gradually decreased, but everyone still felt that it was a little wasteful.

But today, with this statistical report, all doubts have dissipated. From the annual output of only 100,000 tons of steel when it first entered the Northeast in 1895, to today, the three major steel mills in Northeast China alone can reach two million tons!

Hanyang Iron and Steel Works and Taiwan Steel Works have completed the first phase of expansion. The four new steel mills in Hainan, Shanghai, Changxing Island, Guangzhou and Kunming have also completed the preliminary construction. With the increase of local resources, the ore obtained from overseas rich mining areas such as Australia and Luzon have also begun to be transferred there. As long as there are two years, Southern Heavy Industry At least two million tons of steel will also be provided per year.

This is not yet to step up the construction of large northwest heavy industry, Yinchuan, Baotou, Panzhihua, Jiayuguan, Urumqi and other steel mills. If there are a few more years, it will be completely realistic to wait until 1910 to achieve the national output of 10 million tons.

Although compared with the production of 14 million tons in the United States last year, today's Xinhua is not even a fraction of the other party's, even one-fifth less than Russia's 2.5 million tons, and it is unlikely to catch up with the United States in the next five or even ten years, it is much stronger than the Qing Dynasty.

With the tide of construction becoming more and more turbulent, the domestic demand for steel has also increased sharply. In the past three years alone, Zheng Axe has imported 1.7 million tons of steel from the United States and other countries, and 25,000 sets of various machinery to meet domestic needs, which is not yet a private transaction.

This is a huge and heavy burden. For the construction needs of various places, the political axe deficit has now reached an amazing 2 billion blue coins, which is equivalent to the debt of five yuan for everyone in China!

But this situation also began to dissipate with today's report. According to the economic report of the first half of the year just counted, the tariff alone has reached 50 million in the first half of the year, and the national fiscal revenue in the first half of the year has reached 300 million, a full five times more than four years ago!

These numbers may be boring or boring, but they are just confidence!

The confidence to fight a national war with Russia!

Li Mo smiled and put down the economic report, raised his wrist and looked at his watch.

"Declare war!" ......
