Chapter 688 Not true

Tokyo.

"Mr. Okayama, hurry up, they are coming."

In the shouting outside the door, Okayama quickly dressed and saluted his father, and ran to the dock with his partners.

Along the way, from time to time, you can see pedestrians rushing there, and even many rare Xinhua-made high-end cars gathered one by one, which suddenly warmed up Gangshan's heart.

When he walked to the harbor area, he was suddenly shocked by the scene he saw. He only saw that the periphery of the pier, which had been isolated by the military and police, was full of people. Everyone was neatly dressed and looked at the sea anxiously. Although there were no accurate statistics, he also knew that there were at least forty or fifty thousand people here.

The crowd stood quietly in the morning, whispering endlessly. Occasionally, a few Chinese conversations did not cause any restlessness, because this is already very common in Japan. Now many students in Japan are proud of studying abroad with Xinhua. The children of rich and noble families can speak a few words of Chinese, even Gang Shan has already planned to go to Xinhua for two years after graduating from college.

Many people with insight think that Japan is becoming a vassal, but even they have to admit that since General Wang Shizhen eradicated the shogunate landlord and returned the land to the ordinary people, Japan has indeed made great changes. The investment from Xinhua has brought millions of job opportunities to this country. The seaports, railways, power plants and other facilities they have invested in have promoted the economic development of Japan, and exports to China have become the country's largest source of income.

As Prime Minister Nomura said during the election, "I live in Asia and can't leave Xinhua. I should have shouldered the responsibility of building Asia's co-prosperity, and should take the initiative to act as the leader of the great neighbors of the East."

So the Prime Minister said that we should learn from Xinhua and build a free new Japanese version.

His words make many Japanese people not like to hear. After all, the war of nearly 20 years ago is still very painful for them, but for Okayama, people should always look forward, not to mention that the culture of Japan has been passed on to the East. As an island country that lacks resources, it must be attached to the survival of a big country.

A loud whistle interrupted his thoughts. When several huge shadows appeared faintly in the sea fog, when the crowd began to be restless, eight new single-wing metal fighters with shark mouths roared over everyone's heads.

People waved their arms hard to welcome these planes that came to Japan for the first time, which was already known as the dry world. The glittering dragon wing logo under their wings made Okayama clenched his fists. He knew better than ordinary people. It was precisely because of their birth that the Allies could win.

And the binoplanes that followed caused louder shouts, because the fuselage and wings of these aircraft were painted with Japanese flags. When 32 export falcons flew neatly over the Tokyo port, it also represented that they finally ushered in their own air angels.

When these war eagles left, two giant shadows slowly appeared on the sea level, like a slowly rising morning glow. Everyone was quietly looking at their majestic posture. When they saw the Japanese flag raised next to the blood cloud dragon claw flag, everyone burst into cheers.

Standing on the dock, Xixiang Congdao, who looked at the two inbound battleships, was even more in tears. After many years, he finally saw the Japanese navy again. Although it is now renamed the Japanese Maritime Self-Defense Force, and the command is also in the hands of others, after waiting for nearly 20 years, the Japanese navy finally Yu ushered in his own warship again!

This is unimaginable to outsiders. Even if the aircraft carrier of the Xinhua Empire is in the limelight, the status of the battleship is still irreplaceable. Even they themselves are still desperately accelerating the construction, not to mention losing the navy, close to several small coast guard destroyers, especially seeing the same ally North Korea and Thailand also has several ironclad ships, which makes Japan deeply uneasy, thinking that the last war is still affecting Xinhua and that it is being marginalized.

But now, these concerns are gone. Relying on soldiers to be born and die all over the world, I finally got recognition and got the due reward, two battleships!

Especially the one in the front, which made me, who had never seen the new battleship, widen my eyes widened.

"one, two, three."

Among the details of the partners around him, Okayama saw four huge turrets, which were carried on the back. The two at the lower side were triple, and the two on the back were double on the back.

He is too familiar with this appearance. After the Battle of Panama Bay, this photo of the destruction of the latest American battleships at that time spread all over the world. When the badly damaged Oklahoma and Washington were dragged back to Honolulu, Xinhua showed the results to the outside world, making them once world stars and also by American public opinion. It is known as the greatest disgrace to the navy.

Now, it's Japanese!

The other is the British Bolerophon-class battleship Reck, which has just been captured in the Battle of the Three Kings Islands. Some of the unique British symbols on it have not even been dismantled.

Xixiang, accompanied by almost pious Xinhua officers, stepped on the former Nevada-class battleship Washington, renamed Changmen, touched the thick L50/356mm naval gun, and wished to go up and fire in person.

"Sea, what do you think this old guy is doing?"

"I'm happy."

"What's so happy about this? A few fish thorns were dried up, and they were inside."

"Come on, say less."

The colonel captain who escorted the two battleships stopped the staff, but to be honest, this matter was not a big secret in the Imperial Navy. After all, Oklahoma and Washington were seriously injured at that time, or General Fang Jin was so hard that the damage of the two battleships was so severe. Heavy, if it hadn't been for the rapid overturn at that time, half of the sea valve would not be opened, and the internal air barely floated the warship, and there was no chance to drag it back to Honolulu.

However, even so, it took nearly 20 days to return to the Honolulu shipyard. It took a month to drain the internal seawater and clean up. Originally, the navy was ready to keep it for its own use, but after actual survey, it was found that the internal damage of the two battleships was too serious, which had affected the protection strength and structure. There is less than 60% of the anti-strike ability left, so I decided to give up.

Fortunately, the emperor was just ready to give some rewards to Japan at that time to save these two big guys. In addition, Xinhua also has a 14-inch gun, which took more than half a year to repair it. Of course, it is only repaired. As for restoring the previous state, it is completely impossible. Even if Xinhua uses it itself, it can only be compiled as a secondary master. The force ship is similar to the current ground-to-ground mission of the Jilin class.

If there is any highlight, it is that through this modification, the navy and design departments have a more comprehensive understanding of the technical capabilities of the United States. After all, these days, battleships mean the highest technology, and importantly, they have found a password machine in the warship that is too late to destroy. Although the United States changed the password later, there are still some clues.

From the perspective of warships, the armor is roughly the same as that of the United States and Xinhua, and they have also adopted key protection concepts. The design styles of the two watertight cabins have a German shadow, and the United States are much behind in the naval guns. The original L45/14-inch naval gun is better than Xinhua's similar L50. Both armor-piercing ability and distance are insufficient. The gap in medicine is not small. More importantly, although the American optical rangefinder technology is very good, the integrated fire control command system is still very junior, and the overall strength is about 70% of the Hebei level. As for the current repair, although the naval gun is stronger, the overall strength does not rise but decline, and can only reach half of the Hebei level at most.

The Washington and the British Reckless were renamed Nagato and Lu'ao, which were handed over to the Japan Maritime Self-Defense Force, while the other Oklahoma was renamed Pyongyang, and two captured and repaired 10,000-ton armored cruisers were delivered to the North Korean National Navy. In addition, both of them also received four captured British and American light. Cruiser.

From the perspective of strength, the Japanese version is a little cheaper. After all, the predecessor of the Lu'ao, the Lu'ao, has almost no loss, and the 10 L45/305 mm guns are also very powerful, which is not comparable to the two armored cruisers obtained by North Korea.

Although the Imperial Navy has looked down on these two battleships now, it is too powerful for Japan. After all, after the second war in 1897, Japan has never had more than 1,000 tons of warships, not to mention that all the warships of the old navy add up, they are not the opponents of these two ships. .

"It's a pity." The high-flying blood cloud dragon claw flag began to fall, and the naval flag rose again 19 years later. In the friendly cheers around, the colonel curled his mouth: "Is there a sailor who can be a sailor of these two giant beasts now? And the warships are free of charge, but these two big guys need to be maintained. With their current national strength, they spend money in vain!"

Looking at the selected young sailors, they began to board the ship and began to build a warship under the guidance of the Xinhua sailors. Okayama was just about to cheer a few more times, but was suddenly pulled by his partners.

"Go, Mr. Okayama."

"What's the matter?"

"He's here. He's really here. He's in college. He's going to give a speech soon!"

"Really!"

When Okayama and his classmates returned to Tokyo National University with the help of bicycles, a team of fully armed Xinhua Guard almost blocked the whole school, with sunglasses, submachine guns and big-headed boots, which not only made the big boys feel handsome, but also felt nervous.

After a body search, Okayama gently walked into the hall. The hall was already full of people, including classmates, teachers, cabinet officials, and of course, him!

The emperor of the Xinhua Empire is giving a speech!

"I'm very happy today, because I'm surprised to see that the national university has set up a Chinese course. Although I have always thought it's important to protect my own national script and language, it doesn't mean that we can't learn more, just like I can speak English, German, French and Japanese, as one-quarter of the world's population. I think you should learn some of the language.

Yesterday, someone said that I didn't dare to come because many people here hate me, but I still came because I believe that we can establish a new relationship of mutual trust. Although we have been unhappy and we have hurt each other, we should not only remember hatred, but also It should be facing the future! As the future pillars of the country, you should clear the dark clouds to discover the essence.

Twenty years ago, when white people stood in front of you, it was humiliation and plunder. Now looking back, you can hold your head high and tell them that I'm from Asia and I have proud yellow skin and black eyes!

Now, we are in a new war. We are fighting with blood with us. As I said, you should see the essence of the war. This is not plunder, nor is it what they said, "just to satisfy the selfish desires of the war madman and arsonist". This is a war to revitalize Asia!

We are entering the 20th century, which is a new beginning. For each of us, this is a new era, the era of Asia, the era of China, and the era of Japan!

So I came here today. I brought not only battleships, but also a large number of islands, which will be handed over to the jurisdiction of Japan. There is a need for you and you to tell the white people on the island that this belongs to our era.

Hundreds of years ago, white people knocked on our doors with opium and cannons, and then occupied the whole world and killed all the local people. They said that it was a land without owners, because the people were just pigs and dogs in their eyes.

Now I want to say, get back, get back from where we come from, we, and you, join hands to expel the white colonists, build a co-prosperity of Asia, make efforts for the world and national pluralism, and fight for the revival of Asia!"

Li Mo smiled and waved his powerful arms. Okayama and the students responded to his speech with fierce applause. After he left and walked into the background, the cheers continued.

"Your Majesty, you speak very well." Du Dazhuang held the water glass and listened to the cheers while flattering.

"Real is that so?" Li Mo smiled, took a sip of tea and said, "Forget it, it's not true, because I'm lying!"

"Tay, lie?" Du Dazhuang swallowed his saliva: "It sounds good to lie."

"Ha ha, come on, don't flatter me." After Li Mo got into the special bulletproof bridge car, Li Enfu had stuffed a pile of brand-new Japanese primary and secondary school textbooks.

"This is a gift from Prime Minister Nomura. The events of 20 years ago have been revised and are considered to be an unjust war launched by a small group of militarists. The book also positively describes Wang Shizhen's heroic deeds of helping the Japanese people, defeating the local tycoons to gain land, and striving for freedom and cooking."

Li Mo laughed dumbly. He didn't expect that the textbook action of later generations would begin now, and it was changed instead!

Taking the new version of the Japanese textbook, Li Mo weighed the weight before throwing it under the car seat. He smiled and said, "Sir, don't remind me, I won't be fluttering, because it's the same as I did just now. It's not real!"

"Haha."

On August 13, 1916, in the laughter of Li Enfu, Li Mo and the imperial concubine Luo Sanniang visited Japan as the emperor of the Xinhua Empire. In addition to bringing two battleships that excited the whole country, he also handed over a large number of islands in the southwest Pacific to Japan and North Korea for negotiation and division. This kind of direct The reward still dispelled a lot of my nervous thoughts about participating in the war.

In order to thank Li Mo, the Prime Minister promised to invest 15 newly formed army divisions in the war against the United States under the promise of receiving a greater dividend after the war, and said that he could support more than 30 more army divisions if necessary.

On August 14, Li Mo visited Seoul and also got 15 army divisions.

16 said that although Japan and North Korea had a disagreement on the division of the Fiji Islands, after choosing to temporarily shelve common jurisdiction under the strict order of Xinhua, the Maritime Self-Defense Force and the Korean National Army Navy set off at the same time to assist their respective armies to receive the islands in the southwest Pacific and take advantage of this rare I have the opportunity to learn how to fight a battleship under the guidance of Xinhua sailors.

17, on the day Li Mo returned to Yanjing, he received an official order from the Xinhua General Staff of 30 army teachers and students, and an order to attack Australia and land in Ceylon on September 1, which was predicted to end the Australian campaign and continue to compress India before attacking the United States.

At the same time, the joint headquarters of the Asian Alliance Army moved to Honolulu. This time, the senior officers of Japan and North Korea will really play a role, unlike the previous military observers in Yanjing.

On August 20, Li Mo visited Japan and North Korea, and got the news of 600,000 troops. Britain, the United States and other countries suddenly restless. In fact, at this time, it goes without saying that Australia no longer needs so many troops, which can let Li Mo personally go out and dispel the worries of the two countries. , only.

Mainland of the United States!
