My Italian

Ito Yuheng is right, the Italian winter clothes are indeed not enough. But think about it, who would stock winter clothes in a tropical city. In a humid and hot environment, thick winter clothes will grow mildew if they can't be stored for a long time.

Therefore, the most busy people at this time were not the officers and soldiers of the Guards who were preparing to go out, but the colonial officials who were raising supplies for them.

"Don't rush to prepare the livestock, the Qing Dynasty will prepare it."

"Telegram to Shanghai, when will the cotton and fur we need be delivered."

"Don't tell me it's difficult. I don't care how much cotton is in short supply in Shanghai. Tell Zhang Shusheng that if he can't raise it within three days, then he won't even think about getting our material purchase order in the future."

The one who is constantly giving orders is Chen Yonghe, deputy director of the Pontianak Material Department, one of the many middle-level officials of the Lanfang colonial government and one of the few Chinese middle-level officials.

As the Chen family of the original Lanfangguo, that is also very powerful. But now the world has changed, how could the Chen family not be interested if they didn't see that even the Liu family hugged the Italian's thigh tightly.

Therefore, as the future owner of the Chen family, Chen Yonghe naturally needs to do things for the Italian government. Of course, not only do things, but also need to do things beautifully, otherwise how to show loyalty.

No, this time to prepare for the army's expedition, the Chen family made every effort. All the relationships that can be used are used, trying to earn a dazzling performance.

In fact, not only the Chen family, but also the original families of Lanfang, as well as the families who immigrated from Southeast Asia, are basically trying to take advantage of this opportunity to show their abilities to Italy. Trying to get a larger share of the rights allocated to the Chinese.

Not to mention that these people do not love the motherland, these people have basically reproduced in Southeast Asia for several generations and are already closely connected with the local area. Although there is still some nostalgia with the homeland, the main reason is that the colonists regard them as wealth harvesting, people have no sense of security, and naturally expect the Qing Dynasty to come forward.

However, it is a pity that the skin of the Qing Dynasty is not easy to use in Southeast Asia, and the court does not care about these abandoned people, but thinks that they have left the jurisdiction of the court and have become a generation without a king and no father.

This is also why Dr. Sun in the future is so popular in Nanyang. Although he makes random wishes, it gives them some hope.

And now Italy let go of its stereotypes and treat them as nationals, naturally grateful, and want to show their ideas.

This is one of the reasons why local Chinese officials were more active than other colonial officials.

In a sense, Italy is digging the corner of Dr. Sun.

But in any case, the efforts of the Chinese officials have shortened the Italian preparation time. According to the prediction of Lieutenant General Alvaro, the commander of the expedition army (also the commander of the task force), the Italian reinforcements will be ready in half a month. You can go north.

When Italy was busy preparing for departure, a large number of ships gathered here in the Port of Lushun on the Liaodong Peninsula.

At the same time, a large number of Japanese soldiers were boarding the ship one after another under the command of the officers.

The commander of the First Army, Shan Pengyou County, looked at the soldiers who were boarding the ship with a sad face, and said to Lieutenant General Shan Youxin, the commander of the First Division behind him. "We wasted two days in Lushun, and two days were wasted like this. If we knew that it would take more time because of the lack of manpower, we should not have done that."

As a subordinate Lieutenant General of Shanpengyouxin, of course he knows what Shanpengyouxian is talking about. He also knew how important their mission was this time. The capture of Weihaiwei only gave them 20 days, and they wasted two days in Lushun, which is called delaying fighter planes in terms of military science.

"Your Excellency, there is nothing you can do about it. The soldiers have been fighting for a long time and have a lot of grievances. If you don't let them vent, there will be problems. It's all the fault of those diplomats. Didn't they say that they had won the support of various countries before the war? Why? Italians will suddenly appear, and it will completely catch us off guard.”

Shan Youxin said that it was the Lushun Massacre that was covered up in this era, or was ignored by the foreign powers. Before the war, Lushun had a population of more than 20,000 Chinese, but now there are only 36 people left. These 36 people have survived until now because they needed them to bury the crimes of the Japanese army.

Of course, the crimes of the Japanese army are not without records. According to the British Allen's "Under the Dragon Banner" record: "The Japanese soldiers chased the fleeing people and used guns and bayonets to deal with all of them; they were even more violent to those who fell. Thorn. Walking down the street with dead bodies everywhere."

There are also records from the United States. "New York World" reporter Kleiman described: "I saw a man kneeling in front of a soldier, kowtowing and begging for his life. The soldier inserted a gun-tail knife into the ground with one hand, and cut off his head with a sword with the other. One person shrank in the corner, and a group of Japanese soldiers shot him to pieces. An old man knelt in the street, and the Japanese soldiers cut him into two pieces. A refugee was on the roof ridge and was also shot to death. The ridge of the roof fell into the center of the street, and the soldiers stabbed them more than ten times with the tail of their spears."

However, these records were pressed by the United Kingdom and the United States behind Japan, and in Japan, any word about the massacre should not be published in the newspapers.

The wronged souls of more than 20,000 people were covered up like this.

The regret of the two Japanese commanders now is more because they are afraid of delaying the fighter plane. How ridiculous.

As for Lieutenant General Shan Youxin's complaint about the Foreign Secretary, it is actually very common in the army and navy.

Japan at this time is not after the victory of the Russo-Japanese War, the fear of the powers of various countries has been eliminated.

Today, Japan, like the Qing Dynasty, suffers from the phobia of the great powers.

Don't look at the later generations of Japan's defense of the Mossa domain against the British army, and it is almost exaggerated. But this is only a small fleet of seven ships of the British army without infantry. Compared with the scale of the British army in the Opium War, it is not even a small scene.

It is precisely because of this that Japan has such a big fear of participating in the war against Italy~www.wuxiaspot.com~ This is an army of tens of thousands, and Italy has also made great achievements in Europe. , How can Japan, who didn't want to provoke the boss, not be afraid.

But now there is no way, the thigh British is unwilling to end the game, so he can only stand it by himself.

"Fortunately, there are fewer Qing troops near Weihaiwei, otherwise this battle would be difficult to fight."

"This shows that our country has done a good job in the intelligence work of the Qing country in recent years, and can gain insight into the Qing country's actions. However, in the next battle, more help from the intelligence department is needed."

Just as the two were chatting vigorously, a messenger rushed over.

"Report, Admiral Ito Yuheng, Commander of the Combined Fleet, has arrived."

As soon as Ito Yuheng arrived, Yamato Yuxian said immediately. "Let's go and meet our combined fleet commander. Whether we can take Weihaiwei next requires the full support of the navy."

"Okay, then I will accompany the general to meet the maker of this plan."
