Rebirth of the Northern Giants

"Yes, Nie Shuai." The messenger hurriedly took the order and left.

The staff officer took a deep breath, frowned, and said, "Nie Shuai, look, aren't those Japanese civilians? The Second Division even drove civilians to attack our army, which is too vicious."

Nie Shicheng said coldly: "The Japanese are now mobilizing all possible forces to consume our ammunition. Unfortunately, their wishful thinking is wrong. You must know that our Vladivostok Military Region is the richest, and the only guns seized from the Russian army The ammunition is beyond count."

"But since the Japanese are so cruel, we have to pay attention when we enter Nagasaki in the future. Ordinary citizens may become soldiers immediately." Nie Shicheng thought for a while and said coldly.

"What Nie Shuai said is that we should report this matter to the Supreme Command and see what instructions they have."

"Well, go send a telegram." After Nie Shicheng finished speaking, he turned around and continued to observe the battlefield.

As soon as the staff officer left, Fang Boqian, the leader of Jiyuan, appeared at the door.

"Mr. Nie, why don't you move the army back a little bit, so that our navy can help you." Fang Boqian hurried into the command post and asked Nie Shicheng puzzledly.

Although the first landing fleet has returned to its voyage, it still left three cruisers to guard the surrounding waters, including Fang Boqian's Jiyuan. Became the end of the crossbow.

Nie Shicheng said lightly: "This place is an excellent defensive place. We finally occupied it. How can we give it away so easily? If this place falls, a large area directly to the beach will be flat and roadless. It can be defended. Although the navy can help, but according to the Japanese offensive method that does not care about casualties, our army may suffer more casualties, so the gain outweighs the loss.”

Fang Boqian nodded and said: "So that's it. The second landing force came from the Jinan Military Region. It is expected to arrive in two days. It seems that we still have two more days."

In the first round of landing of the Chinese army, there were three landing troops, starting from North Korea, Shandong, Nanjing and other places.

North Korea is the fastest, followed by Shandong, and Nanjing's troops are the slowest, but they have the largest number of troops, with more than 3 troops.

After the first round, there will be more than 5 Chinese troops transported to Japan. Of course, the transport fleets will return immediately after that, and will continue to transport troops from the military area to Japan in a steady stream.

Lower Nagasaki Village, the headquarters of the Second Division of the Japanese Army, Nogi Nozomi has moved the headquarters of the division from Nagasaki Castle to here.

A group of Japanese army staff officers were looking at the map anxiously.

"Your Excellency, Division Commander, the 4th and 30th Wings request to suspend the attack for rest." The signal soldier looked at Nogi Xidian's gloomy face and said submissively.

"Baga, these idiots, useless, they asked to take a break just after attacking. Tell them, if we can't capture the Chinese position, we will all die." Naimu Xidian yelled furiously.

"Yes, Your Excellency, Division Commander, I am conveying your order." The signal soldier trembled and said hastily.

"Tell those idiot commanders that if all the soldiers are dead, they will go to battle in person, otherwise they will commit suicide by cutting open their stomachs. In short, what I want to see is the blood of the Chinese people." Nogi Xidian roared, he had lost his patience.

The staff officer next to him persuaded with a bitter face: "Nogi-kun, the soldiers have been attacking continuously for a day and a night, and the four infantry regiments have suffered heavy losses. Should we ask the Sixth Division of Kumamoto for support?"

The Second Division and the Sixth Division are known as the two most powerful and combative forces in the Japanese Army. The Second Division was dispatched from Honshu Island after Nagasaki was attacked by the Chinese Navy, and the Sixth Division The regiment was originally stationed in Kumamoto, Kyushu Island, known as Kagoshima, Oita and other places.

Two strong teams defend Kyushu. Although the Chinese navy frequently appears in this area, the Japanese probably guessed that the Chinese would choose this place for landing. On the other hand, it can also be seen that the Japanese government attaches great importance to Kyushu Island. The people of Kyushu are aggressive. , has always been the best source of soldiers for the Japanese Army.

Nogi Xidian's face became even uglier when he heard the words of the staff officer, but he was not stupid at all, and he clearly understood that without support troops, it is estimated that the Chinese army's defensive positions would not be captured.

"What is the casualty ratio of the army?" Nogi Xidian suppressed his anger and asked softly.

Another staff officer next to him opened the record book and said coldly: "Your Excellency, division chief, in one day and one night, my second division has lost more than 1 troops, and the damage has reached one-third. "

The losses mentioned here include soldiers who are injured and unable to go to the battlefield for a short time.

"Ask for tactical support from Your Excellency Kuroki." Nogi Nozomi lowered her head and said softly.

Heimu Weizhen is the head of the Sixth Division.

In Tokyo, Japan, Muhito and a group of senior Japanese government officials hid in deep underground facilities.

"Ito-kun, Dashanyan-kun, Shanxian-kun,...you follow me to see my people." Muren still maintained an intoxicating smile, which brought a little confidence to the ministers.

All the ministers looked at their emperor with tears in their eyes. It seemed that there was something burning in their bodies that made them willing to die for it.

The Chinese army successfully landed in Kyushu. When the news came, the shadow immediately shrouded the sky over Tokyo, making the people of Tokyo who had been bombarded by the navy feel even more desperate.

If at this time, Muren still cared about his own safety and did not dare to show himself in front of the public, morale would be extremely low.

In Tokyo Square, tears seemed to flow all over the place, and the common people who received the news huddled together, waiting for their king to appear.

Muren led Shanxian Youpeng, Dashanyan and other generals of the navy and army, and soon appeared in front of the people.

"The emperor is here, the emperor is here."

Muren is still very prestigious in the eyes of Japan.

"I swear here, I swear to live and die with Tokyo, and I swear to live and die with Japan," Mu Rengao raised his right hand and shouted loudly.

Swear to live and die with Tokyo, Swear to live and die with Japan Dashanyan, mountains and counties have friends, Xixiang follows the way.Many ministers shouted at the same time.

Then, the whole city of Tokyo began to shout

The Japanese, at this moment, show their wolf nature. .

Chapter 294: Nepal's Participation in the War

Chapter 294 Nepal's Participation in the War

Ye Zhikui stayed in Liangjiang for about a week, during which he inspected Liangjiang from the aspects of politics, economy and education.

And he delivered a speech in public in Nanjing. In addition to calling on the people to support the war against Japan, he also broke out an earth-shattering news: the government will ban opium cultivation in two years and implement an anti-smoking policy.

Opium was rampant in China, causing many tragedies. The reason why no smoking policy was clearly proposed before was that foreign powers were also involved in the opium trade with China at that time. However, with the disappearance of British power in China and the rise of China, These are no longer a problem.

The second is that the opium trade does involve great interests. Opium is heavily taxed, and the country gets a lot of fiscal revenue from it every year. However, with the development of the New Deal and the rise of national industries, the cancer of the opium trade must be removed.

The reason why it was completed within two years was not because Ye Zhikui felt sorry for those opium smokers and sellers, but because some farmers in Yunnan, Guizhou, Sichuan and other places depended entirely on planting poppies to support their families, and their livelihood was suddenly cut off. It also caused great turmoil.

As soon as Ye Zhikui's speech in Nanjing came to an end, the provincial police forces immediately launched operations. On the one hand, they ordered the opium dens to close. The government would buy some of the opium they hoarded at market prices. If they were still sold, they would be severely punished. No loan, legal responsibility.

On the other hand, they tried their best to publicize the dangers of opium, gathered some old smokers in various places, and carried out smoking cessation activities.

At the source, in severely affected areas such as Yunnan, Guizhou, and Sichuan, the central government will send commissioners to go deep into the planting areas. The government will buy the fields that have been planted, and persuade them to give up planting opium poppies. If the persuasion is ineffective, they will be forcibly removed.

Opium profits are huge, not only involving the interests of local governments, but also some private gangs involved. In order to completely cut off the idea of ​​local interest groups concealing the central government, Ye Zhikui, in addition to dispatching commissioners, will continue to send out local police officers. Swap to prevent local officials from colluding with the police, and black forces colluding with the police.

This anti-smoking action is massive and spread across the country. On average, hundreds of conflicts occur every day across the country, and prisons in various places are full. Fortunately, ordinary people still support the government’s smoking ban, and they all applaud.

Newspapers such as the China Evening News and the Asia Times have given lengthy articles on the origin and dangers of opium, and they have spoken clearly, praising the government's determination and the president's ambition.

As for the opium purchased by the government, of course it will not be destroyed in a centralized manner. After all, it is bought with money. Most of them will be shipped to North Korea, where the essence will be purified into white powder, and a small amount will be sold to Japan and other places.

Today's Japanese are in constant panic, and the whole nation is in fear. Opium and white powder can just anesthetize them and make them forget the pain for a while.

Ye Zhikui had no time to go south after handling the Nanjing affairs, so he had to end his trip to the south with regret.

Because the time has come for the surrounding vassal countries to pay tribute to China, although there are not many younger brothers left in China.

This time, a total of three countries sent envoys to pay tribute, namely North Korea, Gurkha, and Ryukyu.
