1890 King of Southeast Asia

Ten artillery regiments? How is that possible? Even if you look at Nanhua from top to bottom, you can't get enough artillery for ten artillery regiments.

Nanhua has three artillery factories, the first artillery factory, the second artillery factory and the naval artillery factory.

The annual total production capacity is about 400 guns, and the majority of them are supplied to the navy.

Of course, if Lord Li doesn't mind using 37 guns, ten artillery regiments can be put together.

Die Qing did place an order, but it was only for 80 guns, and it was divided into three governors to place orders, with various payment methods. Liu Yiming took it out to scare people.

Britain opposes excessive strengthening of Die Qing at the moment. To put it bluntly, it is afraid that Die Qing will expand and fight with Japan.

"We can urgently stop this transaction. After all, I am also a peace-loving person. Nanhua has always maintained a peaceful attitude in foreign exchanges, but..." Liu Yiming put on a look that it is difficult for me to deal with.

"What's wrong, Prime Minister? Is there any difficulty in maintaining peace and advocating peace?" Cyril knew that Liu Yiming was going to make an offer.

However, Cyril was not afraid of Liu Yiming's offer. Liu Yiming has always been a person who knows how to exchange interests.

For example, after the war started, Britain felt that France was too powerful here, so it used the paid mining rights in some areas and tacitly allowed Nanhua to explore in some places, which made the French East Indies completely chaotic.

"You know, Nanhua is an immigrant country. These people are very afraid that their homes will be affected by the war. The atrocities committed by the Japanese in Korea have been circulated among the people. The General Staff has submitted dozens of plans to land in Japan to me..." Liu Yiming deliberately held his breath.

When Cyril almost couldn't hold it back, Liu Yiming continued.

"Since Britain needs it, I will stop this situation, but in order to give a reasonable explanation to the people, after the war breaks out, I will provide humanitarian assistance to protect civilians."

"Emm, that is, this, this humanitarian assistance, how big is his scope of rights? Mr. Prime Minister, don't get me wrong, I just want to understand this thing, it sounds good." Cyril looked confused, and felt as if it was a bit high-end.

"You don't have to worry about this. We will not infringe on the rights of either party. We only protect the inherent rights of civilians based on the harm caused by war to civilians, and will not conflict with any civilized country." Liu Yiming simply skipped the word civilization.

"That's all? How about more specifics?" Cyril seemed to understand.

"For example, we will organize a rescue team to help farmers and citizens affected by the war. By the way, do you want to join us? I think this will definitely reflect the great glory of the British Empire." Liu Yiming suddenly felt that it didn't matter if he dragged Britain into the water.

Cyril nodded, which was similar to the Red Cross. At this time, the Red Cross had been established for decades, and Cyril could understand.

"No problem, but it can't go further, such as selling supplies to the warring parties." Cyril was the plenipotentiary minister and could nod directly.

Of course, this was based on the fact that at this time, the British Empire was the international order.

"Okay, let's talk about business. Britain hopes that France will not withdraw forces from French Indochina to interfere with the war process before the end of this war." Cyril said very tactfully.

Liu Yiming's eyes lit up. The British had said so before, and then Liu Yiming mentioned that he hoped to explore for minerals, and then he won the exploration rights for a piece of land full of sand for 30 years. Although he paid a little insignificant money.

"Of course. But I hope to expand my mining area in the Persian Gulf region. I found a new manganese mine and a chromium mine. I also want to set up a coal-adding point to facilitate direct flights from Nanhua to Europe." Liu Yiming didn't see the rabbit and didn't throw the eagle.

At this time, the oil industry had not been discovered. The main thing here was to add coal. After the canal was opened, the strategic location was important, but what value did it have? Don't mention it, a lot of sand and pagans.

"Okay, you are so lucky, really!" Cyril was not surprised. He knew what Liu Yiming was doing. He found a copper mine. Chinese people love copper. At most, there is a little associated gold mine, which doesn't matter.

Liu Yiming smiled and shook hands with Cyril, and drew a big circle on a map with only a vague outline.

………

"Yiming, the 'artifacts' you want are here." Charles knocked on the door.

"That's not an artifact, that's my secret weapon." Liu Yiming retorted.

"Oh? I saw the rifles my grandfather used when he joined the army. Those guns have at least 20 calibers, and there are at least hundreds of bullets! You can even open a rifle museum..." Charles mocked.

"That's a good idea." Liu Yiming nodded in agreement, and then pulled Charles to the warehouse.

"Wow, your car is good, very stable, very luxurious, where did you buy it? I want one too." On the way, Charles took a fancy to Liu Yiming's car.

"This is specially made. If you want it, I'll give you one. Do you need to send it to the UK?" Liu Yiming still used his own luxury carriage with a tractor-style head.

No other reason, because whether it is speed, comfort, or safety, it is better than a car.

Due to technical reasons, the car was not particularly comfortable, and it only had one layer of iron sheet. The gasoline engine was also miniaturized and had low power.

"No! Such a big car can't be used in those small alleys in the UK, so just leave it in Surabaya." Charles' eyes were filled with excitement. No one could say no to cars!

The antique Charles mentioned was soon placed in front of Liu Yiming.

"I think I need a bigger house ..." Liu Yiming murmured to the firearms in front of him.

"There are 20,000 rifles here, Britain, France, and the Netherlands, and they are subdivided into different ages. Different improvements, different manufacturers,

To be honest, I admire Indian colleagues, and they can provide such things with such things. Charles picked up a Clarkson hair rifle and sighed.

"Leave one or two models of all rifles, sort out the rest, and send it to French East India." Liu Yiming returned to God and said to the person in charge.

"Each rifle? Are you really going to open the museum?" Charles was very happy. His family also had three museums and private museums.

"Of course, no one can say no pile of historical rifles!" Liu Yiming also picked up an Irish hair rifle.

"How much money?" Liu Yiming asked

"One thousand pounds." Charles drew his lips, "So it is garbage."

"After picking up the price one hundred times, the packaging is sold to the old customers. Tell him this is the friendship price." Liu Yiming did not answer, and turned to the administrator.

"What?" One hundred times? Charles is full of a question mark ...

..............

At the beginning of September, the first Japanese team arrived at the river. At the end of September, North Korea fell throughout.

In October, the Japanese army was defensive along the river bank and built civil engineering. In this case, the Qing army held the first military conference of the first military general.

"Military gate, the bortiness returns, the Japanese army has been defense on the river bank, and a large number of infantry assembles.

"I also have there, the number is unknown, and about 35,000 people." Ma Yukun next to Master Nie also attached.

"Yeah, yes, I am too ..." too ... "

"I have only two battalions teams, there are at least a thousand people on the opposite side ..."

Suddenly, a drop of water was dripped into the hot oil in the conference room, and it was like entering the peak vegetable market.

"Okay!" Ye Zhichao interrupted in time.

"All of them are generals, so panic, what kind of body!"

Seeing that they were quiet, Ye Da's talents went on to say.

"Come one by one, say the news you know. Zuo Bing, let's talk about it first."

"There were about 3,000 or four thousand people across the three aules under the bid. The spies also saw a few artillery ..." Zuo Makui didn't care about it, what he said, after all, he was born halfway up.

He has no opinion, and the others have an opinion. Although the Zuo is the chief soldier, he adds the title of the governor. Do you even name the surname and even the most basic face?

Each was just talked about the news of the founding, and then said nothing.

To put it plainly, it is still the problem of the system. For example, Master Ye, and there is no relationship with the left, even now.

As a frontline leader, he must hold back the generals of the soldiers, but this will offend people.

"Relax! You listen to your news. According to your statement, I am afraid that it will not be gathered by the 100,000 troops?" After the report, most of them reported that the Japanese army was discovered.

"Okay, just return to 100,000 soldiers and discuss the present." Then Master Ye said again.

"If the Japanese army comes to attack, my Wu Yi army can keep it ..." Master Nie looked at some infantry leaders.

"Master Nie is easy to say. Wu Yijun's subsequent seven battalions will arrive immediately. At that time, you will be strong, but you must take care of your brothers ..."

"Yeah, Wu Yi soldiers are many people, and guns are fast, like my Guangwu Army, there are only five battalions, there are only two thousand people, even half of Nie Nie, the guns are not good, Master Nie Nie At that time, you can't see death or save ... "

Nympho

There are a lot of yin and yang.

"Enough! Everyone comes here, all loyal to the country, to be loyal to the emperor! The emperor will not treat everyone!" Master Ye, not talking.

"Each army is coming quickly. There are already 29 camp teams in Toyota Camp. You can come up at any time, and you can come up at any time."

"Master Zhongtang gave a batch of guns up, and the distribution of each battalion was that I would like to take it away when I left, go back when I left," go back. "

Looking at this, he couldn't get it. Master Ye simply put the person back. The left of the Zuo watched the situation and stopped talking. Finally, he deeply looked at the Lord Ye Ye and left.

Nympho

"Zuojunmen, stay!" After just a few steps, the Zuo was called.

"Master Nie, Master Ma, and Lord Wei, do you know what?" Master Zuo turned around, and the three came together.

"Zuo Junmen, my Ma Yukun is a straightforward, I said straight, whether we are the grand army, the Qing army, Wu Yi army, the current situation is different.

Especially now it is not just our Beiyang, but also the generals of Shengjing, Mongolian horse team, and dozens of generals of the seventh seven -eight 888. In this way, I am afraid that I do n’t need to attack by others. "

"Be careful!" Master Zuo exclaimed, but he was born in the Nian Army, and his background has always been ill. He is usually a low -key man, you ...

"Zuojunmen, we came today for the defense." Still Wei Rugui stood up and explained little by little.

The three of them were close to each other, and the responsible areas were also connected, and they met with each other.

The left is stationed in the north, and there are not many troops, and their strength is average.

However, Lord Zuo has a yellow jacket, double-eyed peacock feathers, and the title of admiral. He is stationed in Fengtian all year round. General Shengjing is familiar with him and has a high status.

The three people thought that if things change, Lord Zuo will communicate with the left and right and gather the troops.

"Alas~ This is the only way..." After listening to the three people, Lord Zuo looked across the river and sighed.

………

However, the facts are not as difficult as the Qing army thought. The Japanese army is now rushing to harvest rice. There is a total of more than one division along the river defense line, with more than 20,000 people, the purpose is to defend against possible attacks.

"As of the 10th, the die Qing has deployed more than 80,000 people on the other side of the river, and set up artillery turrets 20 kilometers away from the estuary, and deployed large-caliber artillery." Kodama Gentaro ran to the front line as he wished, and was listening to the report of the front-line division commander.

"As long as he doesn't attack, don't worry about him." Kodama Gentaro touched his beard. He was most afraid that the die Qing would seize the opportunity to attack now.

Japan fully supported the war, and the sequelae appeared. Food shortages, soaring prices, and a sharp depreciation of the yen. Now supplies are in short supply and urgently need to be replenished.

What? You said loans? If things can't be shipped back, it's nothing more than the death of a few untouchables. How can precious foreign exchange be used in these places?

...

In November, at the headquarters, Saigo was looking at the list of supplies.

"We have shipped back 400,000 tons of rice, and more rice is parked at the port."

"Six million taels of silver, 130,000 taels of gold, and countless jewelry. Kodama Gentaro hopes to attack the ministers of the two classes. Most of the wealth is in their hands."

"In addition, ginseng, animal skins, pearls, etc. are still being counted, and it is not convenient to calculate the price."

"No matter what, the final valuation should be around 200 million yen." The Minister of the Ministry of Finance had a light tone, and even his smile was so sincere.

"Let Kodama Gen do it, there is no use keeping these!" Saigo's face also looked much better. The smooth war made everyone feel much better.

As for whether people would starve to death if so much food was moved away, and whether these silver jewels were clean, no one, or in this era, no leader would care.

"In that case, should the war plan against Qing continue?" The Minister of the Army stood up and asked nervously.

Saigo looked at the Ministry of Finance.

"The wealth of the two ministers should be just this much, but the empire has already owed 1 billion yen, and we can't pay the annual interest..." The words of the Minister of the Ministry of Finance were already very clear.

"The army stores supplies, and according to the original plan, at the end of December, we will raid the Qing army! This battle must be won!!!" Saigo stood up and ordered his generals more like a general.
