Time traveled! mine! It's all mine!

In March 1895, Lu Linfeng had built a power plant in Taipei with the help of German experts, and a steel plant was under construction. However, there was no iron ore in Taiwan, and it would still have to be shipped from Fujian.

Taiwan's industrial construction is in progress, the Sino-Japanese war is coming to an end, and the next step is negotiations between the Qing court and Japan. This has nothing to do with Lu Linfeng, what he has to do is to protect Taiwan. Taiwan now has 98 new troops, all equipped with 30k rifles. Each of them has received more than 98 rounds of live ammunition shooting training, which is considered to have good combat effectiveness. The superior performance of the 98k was also noticed by the Germans who came. They telegraphed Wilhelm II and obtained the production license for the 5000k. Lu Linfeng's request was to provide him with 50 rifles and rounds of ammunition, and William II "agreed".

In addition to the 300-person army, the Taiwan Army also has an artillery unit of 75 people, but their equipment is only -caliber mortars.

On March 3, Lu Linfeng received information from Pengjiayu Base.

"Commander, our radar has detected a fleet heading towards the Taiwan Strait. It should be the Japanese fleet."

In order to deal with the Japanese fleet, Lu Linfeng transferred 30 Mantis mini-submarines from the submarine base, established a secret base on Pengjiayu Island, and implemented military control. There are also communication base stations and radar stations here. Relying on the technology of the Cobra Organization, it can completely cover Taipei City. Now it was the soldiers who stayed on Pengjiayu Island who reported to him the movements of the Japanese troops.

Lu Linfeng still knew something about what was going to happen in the near future. This fleet was an expeditionary force of about 4000 people, mainly composed of about 5,500 regular army troops from Kagoshima Prefecture. They secretly departed from Nagasaki Sasebo Port and arrived in the Taiwan Strait on March 3. The Japanese fleet launched an artillery bombardment on the coast of Rizhengjiao in Liangwenshe, Penghu Islands in the early morning, landed in the afternoon, quickly captured Liangwenshe and Jianshanshe, and captured Liangwenshe and Jianshanshe at sunset. Defeated the defenders of Taiwu Mountain before. On March 23, the Japanese army defeated the counterattack of the Qing army on the Penghu main island and occupied the Penghu Islands. However, the Qing troops on the Penghu Islands have now surrendered to Lu Linfeng, so he will not let the Japanese occupy the Penghu Islands.

"Watch them closely and wait until nightfall when all the Mantis submarines attack. I want them all to die in the sea." Lu Linfeng said.

"Yes! Commander!"

"Remember! Leave no one behind. I don't want anyone to spread the news that they were attacked." Lu Linfeng said seriously.

"Yes!"

There is no radio communication technology yet, and as long as there are no survivors, no one can spread the news about what happened to the Japanese fleet. Given the Japanese's urinary temperament, they would probably keep the loss of this fleet a secret, otherwise it would attract international ridicule and they would become a laughing stock.

The Japanese nowadays are very concerned about their image in the world.

After nightfall, thirty Mantis submarines quietly approached the Japanese fleet. The current navy does not yet have anti-submarine ships and anti-submarine aircraft. These four warships and others are just sheep exposed to wolves.

Following Lu Linfeng's order, thirty Mantis submarines approached the Japanese fleet and fired torpedoes. The Japanese had no idea they were being ambushed, and they didn't realize they were under attack until their battleship was struck by a torpedo and exploded. But before the Japanese navy could even rush to their respective posts, the hulls of all the warships began to quickly take in water and sink.

Thirty submarines, each carrying four high-explosive torpedoes, attack with two torpedoes in one attack. Thirty Mantis submarines have 60 torpedoes. Without them carrying out a second round of attacks, these Japanese warships will all attack in less than half an hour. Sunk to the bottom of the sea. There must be survivors in the nearby waters, but these Mantis submarines are equipped with detectors. It only took them an hour to clean up all the Japanese soldiers who were not dead in the nearby waters.

A week later, the Japanese have not received any news from the expeditionary force fleet. After inquiring from various parties, the Penghu Islands are still very quiet. They can confirm that the fleet and the expeditionary force of thousands of people have been lost. In the next few days, foreign merchant ships discovered some wreckage with Japanese writing on it in the waters east of Fujian and Zhejiang. This news reached Japan, and they were even more certain that the expedition fleet was gone, but they were puzzled as to how it was gone. Now that the Qing court no longer had large ships, they ruled out the possibility of a Qing court attack.

Although the Penghu Islands failed to be captured and instead lost four warships, the Japanese were inspired to become ferocious and eventually defeated the Qing government and forced them to sign the Treaty of Shimonoseki.

On April 1895, 4, the Treaty of Shimonoseki was officially signed. When the news reached Taiwan, it immediately caused an explosive response. There was strong opposition from top to bottom in Taiwan, and some gentry also signed a telegram and signed a letter in blood, asking the Manchu Qing authorities to take back the order. Unfortunately, the Qing court was naturally indifferent to this.

"Lord, please take a look, this is the Declaration of Independence written by me." Tang Jingsong came to Lu Linfeng and handed a document to Lu Linfeng and said.

Lu Linfeng took it and looked at it. The general meaning was that Japan bullied China and demanded Taiwan. The people of Taiwan reported to the court but failed to restore it. He also knew that Japan would soon attack Taiwan. Then there was a bunch of people saying that the people of Taiwan would never give up Taiwan and become slaves to the Japanese. The people of Taiwan decided to become independent after a public discussion, and the new government needed someone to preside over it, so they elected Lu Linfeng as the president of the "Dongkun Democratic Republic", Tang Jingsong as the prime minister, and Liu Yongfu as the defense minister. As for why Lu Linfeng was elected president, it is because he brought weapons and equipment to Taiwan, helped Taiwan develop industry, etc.

Lu Linfeng nodded and said: "Okay, we will publish it on May 5st to announce the establishment of the Dongkun Democratic Republic. Remember to invite the consuls from various countries to watch the ceremony."

Thanks to the reputation of Umbrella Medicine in Europe, European countries such as Britain, France, the United States, Germany, Spain (Spain), Austria (Austro-Hungary), and the Netherlands have now established consulates in Taipei.

On May 5, Taiwan's top leaders such as Lu Linfeng, Tang Jingsong, and Liu Yongfu declared independence and established the "Tungkun Democratic Republic." Lu Linfeng lazily borrowed the flag from the "Umbrella" company for the flag, but the flag has a blue base, red and white, and a concave arc at the edge.

Although the "Donkun Democratic Republic" has been recognized by Britain, France, Germany and other countries, Japan has also been advised not to attack Taiwan. However, the Japanese lost four warships and thousands of soldiers near the waters of Taiwan alone. In addition, the losses in battles with the Qing court made it impossible for the Japanese to hand over Taiwan, so they naturally refused to let it go.

As European countries wanted to intervene, Japan also stepped up its recruitment of troops and prepared to go to Taiwan to "receive" it.

"Commander, our radar has detected the Japanese fleet approaching the Diaoyu Islands. There are seven ships in total. Will the Mantis submarine be dispatched to attack them?" Peng Jiayu once again conveyed the information to Lu Linfeng.

"No need. This time I will go in person." Lu Linfeng said.
