“Beautiful job!”

Zhang Meng, who was holding an imperial meeting in the Ministry of National Defense, immediately ordered Shao Yingnan and all the officers and soldiers of the Silver Carp.

The sinking of the Japanese ships Tianlong and Ryuta did boost morale to everyone in the Tang Empire, but the situation will be even more sinister, because the Japanese also do not like to suffer losses, and they will inevitably retaliate ten times a hundred times.

Zhang Meng was not afraid of the Japanese's revenge, because he had already made all preparations.

At least, whether at the international political level or military level, the Tang Empire had the lead and advantage.

International politics is naturally on the side of the Tang Empire, because the Japanese were trapped by Zhang Meng, which made Aso Kotaro, the arrogant idiot, mess up.

The Japanese Yuyuki Hamaguchi Cabinet had just announced to the whole world that the Tang Empire's Royal Navy was rude to attack the Japanese Navy's warships. The Japanese government would never allow such provocation, so it was determined to start a war against the Tang Dynasty.

For this reason, Hamaguchi Yuki personally spoke with British Prime Minister McDonald. At first, McDonald didn't know the truth and thought that the Tang Empire was the first to open fire as the Japanese said. It was taken by Japan's strong military strength, so he could not speak for the Tang Empire and could only sacrifice the Tang Empire.

But soon the Tang Empire began to fight back.

On behalf of the Tang Empire, Princess Zhang Wei, the foreign minister of the Tang Empire, formally submitted a report to the League of Nations that the Japanese Navy took the initiative to provoke and attack the Tang Empire's naval warships, and attached the photos taken at that time, as well as testimony from military officers and reporters from Britain, France, the United States, Germany, Italy, and Austria. Even the signature of the most influential Christina was on it.

As soon as the news came out, the whole world was in an uproar. The shameless faces of the Japanese government and the military were immediately seen clearly by the people of the world. The facts proved that the Japanese were lying. They peeked at the wealth of the Tang Empire and intended to invade the Tang Empire.

In the face of ironclad evidence, the League of Nations and governments around the world believed that the Tang Empire was innocent, and that the Japanese deliberately lied and made false excuses when they attempted to invade the Tang Empire. People all over the world suddenly felt sympathy for this new Tang Empire. Even the previous accusation by the Japanese government against Zhang Meng was regarded as the Japanese deliberately slandering Zhang Meng.

For a time, the international community and public opinion all turned to the Tang Empire, pushing the Japanese government to the forefront.

What's more serious is that the military officers of Britain and the United States were killed by Japanese shells, so Britain and the United States naturally refused to give up, which immediately made the cabinet of Yuyuki Hamaguchi feel huge political pressure.

As a last resort, Oyuki Hamaguchi had to order a thorough investigation of the matter to delay time.

Unfortunately, Aso Kotaro and his men had already sunk to the bottom of the sea to feed fish. The Japanese government could no longer know the truth at that time and could only accept unilateral testimony from the Tang Empire, which was obviously extremely unfavorable to Japan.

After all, the Tang Empire was the British protector. The British knew very well that they had chosen to give in due to pressure from the Japanese. Giving the Tang Empire diplomatic rights was equivalent to recognizing the Tang Empire's independence, which had already had a huge impact within the Commonwealth. Local governments such as Australia, Canada, Fiji, India and other local governments have been seeking independent diplomacy. They immediately put pressure on the Commonwealth, demanding that the Commonwealth give them the same treatment as the Tang Empire. For this reason, the MacDonald's government was under great pressure.

At this time, the excuse was finally found to counterattack Japan. The MacDonald administration immediately put pressure on Japan, requiring the Japanese government and military to give a reasonable explanation.

At the same time, the opposition between the United States and Japan in the Pacific became worse and worse. This began from the moment the United States occupied Hawaii in 1898. The number of military confrontations between the navies between the United States and Japan in the Pacific increased from an average of twice a year at the end of the 19th century to an average of more than six times a year at the beginning of the 20th century. The time for military confrontation between the two sides increased from the previous few hours to more than ten days and half a month.

For the Americans, they reached the throne of the world's number one with their powerful national economy and military strength after World War I. The second-ranked Britain could not pose a threat to the United States. Only Japan, the third-ranked, became the biggest enemy of the United States at the moment, and even surpassed the threat from the Soviet Union. From the Treaty of Washington to the Treaty of London, the Americans actually joined forces with the British to bully the Japanese, deliberately weakening Japan's military power.

This time, a military officer in the United States died under the guns of the Japanese Navy, and the Americans had an excuse again. Unfortunately, the Hoover administration faced the mess caused by the economic crisis in the country that could not be resolved. At this time, domestic conflicts were urgently needed. If Japan was not put pressure on, it would be impossible to explain to the American people, so they would work with the United Kingdom to strengthen their tough stance against Japan.

Yuyu Hamaguchi was extremely sad. Under the tremendous pressure from the United States, Britain and international public opinion, he had to ask the military headquarters to recruit Ono Shi Sanno and his fleet to return.

However, the Japanese military did not buy Hamaguchi Yuyuki's account at all. They had learned that the Tenno and Ryuta had lost contact, and they guessed that something had happened to Aso Kotaro, so Ono Shisano's sword was unsheathed and was about to slant the Tang Empire.

At the same time, the Japanese military also wanted to oust Yuyuki Hamaguchi. Since he had made a mistake, he simply continued to the end, making Yuyuki Hamaguchi unable to make an explanation to the inside and outside, forcing him to resign voluntarily.

The Japanese military intends to watch Yuyuki Hamaguchi's jokes, but they don't know that they will soon become the laughing stock of the whole world.

July 16 is destined to be the most unforgettable day since its establishment in the modern Japanese navy.

At two o'clock that afternoon, the Zhengtang Tengshi Mixed Fleet, commanded by Major General Ono Shisanji, sailed into the Matawutuhai.

This fleet of four battlecruisers, six heavy cruisers, six light cruisers, two submarines and a 2,000 Japanese troops suddenly appeared in the Central Pacific region, which immediately scared the fishermen of nearby island countries.

Ono Shi Sannobu vowed that although he had lost contact with Aso Kotaro, he still did not take the Tang Empire seriously.

Since the safe channel provided by Aso Kotaro, Ono Shisannen had to seize a Fijian merchant ship and force the owner to take his fleet directly along the international public channel set up by the Tang Empire to communicate with nearby countries in order to be friendly with each other. This channel can directly reach Tianmen Port, Chang'an, the capital of the Tang Empire.

However, Shi Sandian Ono did not know that he and his fleet had been under the secret surveillance of submarines and reconnaissance aircraft of the Tang Empire. Moreover, the Tang army had already been prepared. The channel was covered with mines, and once the warship entered, there was only a dead end.

But that was just Zhang Meng's last way to save his life. According to the strategic idea of ​​resisting the enemy outside the country, when the Japanese Navy entered the combat radius of the Tang army bombers, Zhang Meng ordered the only bomber wing of the Royal Air Force of the Tang Empire, the Jinling Air Wing, to be dispatched.

At 2:03 pm, on Yanjing Island, two hundred kilometers away from Ono Shisandian Fleet, a rapid battle sirens sounded over Qinglong Air Force Base.

"All of us are paying attention! Our Yanjing Air Force will start preparing for the flight at 2:05 pm and take off at 2:35 pm to perform combat missions! Repeat, this is not an exercise!"

After hearing the radio notice, all the pilots, air crews and ground crew members of the Yanjing Air Force rushed to their planes and jobs.

As the first air wing of the Royal Air Force of the Tang Empire, the Yanjing Air Force, which specializes in training in air combat and escort as subjects, although they knew that today was a real battle, they were not under pressure because the Japanese fleet had only 30 carrier-based water reconnaissance aircraft, which was obviously not their opponent.

However, the orders they received were all dispatched, because this was a rare opportunity to experience practical combat. Only after experiencing the real baptism of war can one become a real soldier.

According to the order, the Yanjing Air Wing will take off 200 P6E fighters and 100 F11C fighters to serve as an escort cover mission for the bomber group of the Jinling Air Wing that will be flying over Yanjing.

The Jinling Air Force, which has always been mysterious, finally appeared. For all the members of the Yanjing Air Force, they have heard of it privately. They know that the Royal Air Force of the Tang Empire has a new bomber unit and is in the Jinling Air Force, but they have never seen it before.

Originally, they thought that the Air Force Command would send bombers to sank two Japanese light cruisers yesterday, but in the end, the headquarters was cancelled because they were worried that the Japanese would discover that the Tang Air Force had advanced bombers to affect today's decisive battle.

When dense roars of planes appeared in the south of the sky, they all saw the mysterious veil of the Jinling Air Force for the first time with the help of various telephoto equipment.

"Isn't this the SC-1 and seal torpedo reconnaissance aircraft? I thought it was so mysterious!"

"Yes! Didn't the headquarters say there is FC-1?"

Only those who are really careful will notice that the SC-1 bomber that looks like the US Army has actually undergone detailed changes.

"This is FC-1! Did you see that its tail is obviously different?"

"Yes! What is the use of that extra horizontal plate?"

...

"What are you talking about? It's time, everyone will set out!"

The commander shouted loudly, and the pilots boarded the plane one after another. Under the command of the ground crew, they were towed by the trailer into the takeoff runway in turn.

"Southeast Wind Level 4! It is recommended that the first squadron use runway No. 7, the second squadron use runway No. 9, and the third squadron use runway No. 11!"

"I understand! Please take off!"

"Take off allowed! I wish you a happy journey and a triumphant return!"

"I understand! Thank you!"

"You're welcome!"

Whether it is exercise or actual combat, the tower staff of the Air Traffic Center will send blessings to these pilots every time, which has become their habit because they really don’t want to see someone get into trouble.

Accompanied by buzzing sounds, three hundred fighter jets loaded with weapons and ammunition in Yanjing Air Force took off on time and quickly climbed to a space of 5,000 meters, meeting the formation of 200 FC-1 dive bombers and 100 seal and torpedo reconnaissance aircraft of the Jinling Air Force that also arrived on time.

Half an hour later, two elite troops of the Royal Air Force of the Tang Empire completed the air merging and rushed towards the Japanese fleet.
Chapter completed!
