Expedition to Europe

On the second day of the negotiation, the number of participants increased rapidly. Bastien and Lu Zongyu joined as belligerents. American Ambassador to Lanfang Glynton Augustine and British Ambassador to Lanfang Scott James also joined as mediators, trying to curb Lanfang's ambitions.

Yes, the Americans and the British were trying to curb Lanfang's ambitions, which was very obvious from the beginning of the negotiations.

But relatively speaking, Glynton Augustine was a bit ambiguous.

The focus of the conflict was still on Goryeo, the Ryukyu Islands, the Mariana Islands, the Marshall Islands, the Caroline Islands, and the Ogasawara Islands. Japan insisted that these places had nothing to do with Lanfang and Lanfang could not make unreasonable demands.

At the same time, Japan advocated that Lanfang should withdraw from the Japanese territories on the Kuril Islands and Sakhalin Island, claiming that they had nothing to do with this war, but in order to make up for Lanfang's losses, the Japanese were willing to pay, just like the Qing government paid "Liaoning silver" to redeem the Liaodong Peninsula.

It is estimated that because of the intervention of the Americans and the British, the Japanese felt that they were not short of money, so they did not have much opinion on the amount of compensation, but they attached great importance to the territory.

Lu Zhengxiang rejected the demands of Hara Kei and Tanaka Yoshiichi, saying that Sakhalin and the Kuril Islands were originally the inherent territories of the Chinese, and it was natural for Lan Fang to inherit the ownership. It was illegal for the Japanese to forcibly take it from the Russian Empire, so there is no dispute over the Kuril Islands and Sakhalin Islands now.

Regarding Goryeo and Ryukyu, they were originally vassal states of the Qing Empire. Japan attacked the vassal states of the Qing Empire without authorization. As a member of the Chinese, it was natural for Lan Fang to ask the Japanese for justice, and no one could interfere.

As for the Marshall Islands, the Mariana Islands, and the Ogasawara Islands, to be honest, these islands have little to do with Lan Fang. Instead, the Americans are very interested in these islands. For example, the Mariana Islands, the Americans occupied Guam a long time ago, and they have long intended to take all the Mariana Islands.

The reason why Lan Fang proposed the Marshall Islands, Mariana Islands, and Ogasawara Islands was actually to confuse the public. If the ownership of these islands became the focus of the negotiations, then the ownership of Goryeo and Ryukyu Islands would not be so fiercely controversial.

Qin Zhiyuan's bottom line is Yingzhou, Penghu Islands, Goryeo, Ryukyu Islands, Kuril Islands, and the Japanese part of Sakhalin Island. As long as these islands are taken and some compensation is obtained from Japan, Lan Fang will have completed the war.

Of course, as one of the participating countries, France and the Republic of China also have their own demands.

The Republic of China requires Japan to return all rights in the Kanto region of the Republic of China, to withdraw all Japanese concessions in the Republic of China, and to abolish all unequal treaties signed between Japan and the Republic of China.

France's demands are more direct. France's demands are money, as long as money is given.

The pain brought to France by the World War is too great. The French urgently need to restore the economy. As for colonies, the French are not rare. They have plenty of colonies.

On the second day, and the third day thereafter, the two sides finally figured out each other's bottom line for the negotiations, and then they talked one by one, which was extremely difficult.

While the negotiations were going on, Lan Fang's troops were advancing rapidly. Except for the slow progress in Goryeo, Lan Fang's troops had an absolute advantage on the battlefields in all other directions.

Although they were exhausted, the Japanese were still resisting. Even when facing the Lan Fang army armed to the teeth, the Japanese did not give up. In terms of fighting will, the Japanese were really good.

But for the Lan Fang army, it was futile to resist only by will. The Lan Fang army also had no lack of will, had more abundant combat skills, and also had stronger combat effectiveness.

It is indeed right to emphasize will, but if you ignore the huge difference in equipment and emphasize the importance of will, it is equivalent to fooling the people to die. The current Japanese emperor and a group of people in the Japanese military are fooling the Japanese people to die.

Judging from the battle process in Keelung Port and Lushun, the war between Lan Fang and Japan has gradually turned into a massacre. The Japanese have no power to fight back, but the Japanese high-level officials are unwilling to face this. They would rather struggle to support themselves than admit their failure.

It is difficult to understand what kind of mentality this is, but Qin Zhiyuan is now tired of it. Therefore, under Qin Zhiyuan's instruction, Xie Rundong, who has rushed to the outside of Tokyo Bay, and Ge Lifu, who has occupied most of Hokkaido, are preparing to launch an air raid on Tokyo to let Emperor Taisho feel the destructive power of war.

Early in the morning, Sapporo Airport.

"If we bring one more spare fuel tank, we will have to carry four fewer bombs. In this case, our 40 bombers are only equivalent to the original 25, and the bombing efficiency is greatly reduced. Unfortunately, our solidified bombs have been used up. It is a question how much results we can achieve with only high-explosive bombs." Liang Lishan, commander of the Northern Frontier Air Force, looked at the bombers on the apron ready for takeoff with a little regret.

Sapporo is the largest city in Hokkaido. The capture of Sapporo actually means that Lan Fang has occupied the entire Hokkaido.

After the capture of Sapporo, the Northern Frontier Military District immediately built an airport in Sapporo. Now the bomber unit of the Northern Frontier District has moved from Lelang Airport to Sapporo Airport, and can barely launch an air strike on Tokyo.

Bombing Tokyo is a huge temptation for all soldiers. To be honest, if Liang Lishan was not in an important position, Liang Lishan would also like to fly a bomber to Tokyo to have fun.

"That's enough. Solidification... After all, it is against the harmony of heaven." Ge Lifu still has a compassionate heart.

The two bombings of Keelung and Lushun by Lan Fang have now spread throughout Lan Fang. To be honest, the efficiency of solidification is indeed high and the power is strong enough, but water and fire are ruthless. As long as the solidification is thrown down, no matter what is below, it will be burned cleanly. This is really against the harmony of heaven.

From the perspective of some Chinese with Huang Han tendencies, the more Japanese die, the better, but there is a bottom line for everything. It is not necessary to exterminate all the Japanese in order to resolve the hatred between the Chinese and the Japanese.

To put it bluntly, Japan in this era has not yet fought the Second Sino-Japanese War. Similarly, the "September 18th Incident" has not yet occurred, let alone the "Nanjing Massacre". The Chinese do hate the Japanese, but not as strong as the hatred of the Chinese in another time and space.

"Hehe, Old Ge, you are compassionate. Think about it, if the Japanese have bombers now, but we don't, what will happen? Will the Japanese bear not to use solidified guns to bomb our Coconut City? They can't bear it. So, if you want to beat the dog when it's down, you have to beat it to death. Don't let it catch its breath and give it a chance to revenge." Liang Lishan just wanted to beat the Japanese to death with a stick.

"Catch your breath? Haha, even if it catches its breath, so what? If we can beat them the first time, we can beat them the second time." Ge Lifu was full of domineering.

Ge Lifu's thoughts represent the thoughts of some Lan Fang soldiers now. They don't have a clear understanding of the harm of the Japanese, but they have enough confidence. If necessary, they can teach the Japanese a lesson at any time.

This confidence is based on countless victories.

"Yes, you are right." Liang Lishan took the initiative to stop the meaningless dispute and turned his attention to the fighter planes flying in sequence.

After taking off, the bombers made a simple formation and flew to Tokyo immediately.

The original text is available at # 9 @Book/Bar!

The straight-line distance between Sapporo and Tokyo is 800 kilometers, and the combat radius of Lan Fang's bombers is 750 kilometers. Under the premise of carrying auxiliary fuel tanks, the combat radius can be increased by 150 kilometers, so there is no problem flying to Tokyo.

Two hours later, the bomber group flew over Tokyo.

At this time, Tokyo was as miserable as hell on earth. The heat of Tokyo city could be felt from more than ten kilometers away.

Just half an hour ago, the carrier-based bombers led by Xie Rundong had just carried out an air raid on Tokyo.

Unlike the cold-faced but warm-hearted Ge Lifu, Xie Rundong is a standard "Huang Hanism". During the bombing of Tokyo, Xie Rundong's carrier-based bomber once again used solidification technology, which made Tokyo a sea of ​​fire.

Tokyo was originally called Edo. After the Edo Shogunate ended its rule, Emperor Meiji truly became the "Emperor" of Japan, so Emperor Meiji moved the capital of Japan from Kyoto to Edo and renamed it Tokyo. The former Edo Castle was changed into the residence of the Emperor.

Qin Zhiyuan's order did have some effect on Xie Rundong. In the city of Tokyo, which was already in the sea of ​​fire, there were obviously not many open flames in the Chiyoda District where the imperial palace was located. This clearly pointed out the direction of attack for Bao Deshui and his team.

The imperial palace where the Japanese emperor was located was called the "Imperial Palace". Although it was located in the downtown area of ​​Tokyo, the greening was very good, like a forest park, and it was very easy to identify from the air.

Bao Deshui was not so compassionate. He made a few gestures with his wingman and flew straight in the direction of the "Imperial Palace".

Sitting in the cockpit of the plane, you can clearly see the crowd running like ants on the ground. Many people even ran in the direction of the "Imperial Palace". Perhaps it was because the "Imperial Palace" was the only place in Tokyo that was not on fire. These people were avoiding the fire demon, or these Japanese were loyal and wanted to save their Taisho Emperor.

Standing at this angle, there is indeed a feeling of overlooking all living beings. It really feels that countless lives are in your hands. If you want them to live, they can live. If you want them to die, death is in an instant.

Many soldiers will suffer from serious psychological trauma and need treatment after retiring, and this is not without reason.

It doesn't matter. War will always bring the greatest harm to people. This is inevitable. It will not be brought to the people of Lan Fang or the people of Japan. Everyone is fair in this regard.

When flying directly above the Imperial Palace, Bao Deshui nodded to his co-pilot, and the co-pilot immediately started to drop bombs.

Bomb it, blow it all to pieces!
