On July 17, 1931, the result of the Matawutu naval battle in Tang Dynasty, which shocked the world was made public by news media from various countries, causing an uproar in the whole world and also pushed the Tang Dynasty and Japan into the quagmire of a protracted comprehensive war.

Especially in China, which has been invaded by Japanese imperialism, people from all over the country have strong reactions and can be said to be applauding the Japanese navy's annihilation.

"Sell newspapers! Sell newspapers!"

"Extraordinary news! I don't read it and regret it! On the first day of the war in Tang Ri, the Japanese joint fleet was wiped out, and tens of thousands of people died. The Royal Navy of the Tang Empire won the victory without any damage!"

A passerby from Northeast China: "Aren't the Japanese awesome? This group of slutty calfs finally got someone to do it. I have to see this!"

A passerby in North China: "Did you guys from Little BK's ghost guy give me Delong?"

A passerby from East China: "Ce's little Japanese devils are too?"

A person from South China: "Satana Kakao's K is stuffed!"

A passerby in the southwest: "Fuck it, kill these turtle sons!"

A passerby from the northwest: "Little Japan is a group of two-ball players, and he is a fairy-like man!"

...

All over the world, in the streets, in the alleys, teahouses, and restaurants, men, women, young and old, almost all talk about the news of the defeat of the Japanese Navy in their spare time.

Although many newspapers exaggerate the gimmicks, it is an ironclad fact that the Japanese Navy suffered a defeat. This alone has become deeply rooted in the hearts of the people on the land of China.

After all, the blood flows from each other is the blood of the Chinese clan, and the victory of the Tang Empire is the victory of China.

For Zhang Meng, he would not miss this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.

Since the plan could not keep up with the changes, it originally planned to protect it and develop slowly under the Commonwealth, but unexpectedly, the Japanese devils were greedy and took the initiative to come to the door to raise trouble.

Now that Tang Ri has started the war, the little Japanese have suffered another great loss. They will definitely retaliate wildly, and a full-scale war will inevitably break out between Tang Ri.

In Zhang Meng's view, this will be a protracted war. With the current population of the Tang Empire, the current population cannot be consumed with Japan for a long time. Therefore, it is necessary to take advantage of the opportunity of the Tang army's victory to introduce population from China on a large scale.

This time, Zhang Meng needed not labor or simple technical workers. What he needed was a senior intellectual who could master aircraft piloting and submarine operation in a short period of time.

Zhang Cheng has always been responsible for recruiting talents for the Tang Empire in China. This time, Zhang Meng gave him the task to target the intellectual class in China. For this reason, the Ministry of Finance of the Tang Empire urgently allocated 120 million yuan to establish the reserve force reserve foundation for the Army, Navy and Air Force, and specifically recruited personnel with a certain level of knowledge and physical fitness from all over the world to enrich the army, navy and air force of the Tang Empire and improve the overall quality of the Tang army.

Among them, the part of China responsible for Zhang Cheng is a key area, and the recruitment of Chinese intellectuals should be given as the priority. If there is really a lack, it will turn to European and American countries, and specifically select a group of foreigners without political backgrounds as temporary mercenaries. After all, the comprehensive cultural quality of European and American countries is far beyond that of mainland China.

According to Zhang Meng's huge military plan, in order to win the Pacific War in the future, the Tang Empire's army, navy and air force will need at least 1.2 million talents from all aspects to maintain and operate to effectively protect the security of the Tang Empire. Among them, the navy is the largest, with a total of 600,000 combat and non-combatants, of which the Marines account for 200,000, the Air Force 400,000, and the Army has at least 200,000.

In fact, with the current land area of ​​the Tang Empire, the army only needs 30,000 people to guard the iron wall.

Obviously, Zhang Meng is not satisfied with the existing land area, and he has always had a huge expansion plan in his mind.

Three hundred years ago, the Americans formed the current large territory of the United States through expansion, annexation, purchase, war, etc. Three hundred years later, Zhang Meng was also unwilling to be outdone. He also planned the subsequent expansion, annexation, occupation, purchase and other territorial expansion methods of the Tang Empire. Now that he has even started a war with Japan, the war he originally planned to use in the end had to be advanced.

However, overseas colonies controlled by the Japanese were not easy to seize. Since the Japanese were authorized by the League of Nations after World War I, the Marshall Islands, the Northern Mariana Islands, Nauru, and the Caroline Islands, which originally belonged to Germany, were authorized by the League of Nations, and Zhang Meng did not dare to easily snatch these places.

Of course, the Japanese were very cunning. They immigrated tens of thousands of people to these places and built solid fortifications on the islands. It took a lot of effort to seize these islands.

At present, these islands controlled by the Japanese exceeded the combat radius of the Royal Navy of the Tang Empire. Zhang Meng also knew that the naval power in his hands was still very weak for the time being, so he was not in a hurry to seize these islands controlled by the Japanese. Instead, in order to prevent the Japanese from subsequent large-scale military retaliation against the Tang Empire, he had to work hard to expand the air force.

Zhang Meng knew that the Japanese still had three large aircraft carriers, and it was not ruled out that the Japanese who had been exploding the beans would use the main force of the joint fleet and send aircraft carriers to expedition the Tang Empire again.

Zhang Meng knew that the current naval power of the Tang Empire was too weak, and he would definitely be surrounded by the Japanese joint fleet at that time, and it would rely entirely on the air force to attack the enemy fleet. He did not like the feeling of being surrounded by the enemy, so he decided from a strategic perspective to deploy one or several air force forces outside the Tang Empire to form a horn with the local area of ​​the Tang Empire. If the Japanese navy dared to come again, attacking the Japanese army from the front and back might achieve unexpected results.

Zhang Meng was a man who did it at will. He immediately set his sights on Fiji, because Fiji was closest to the Tang Empire. If he deployed several air force forces in Fiji, he could form a force of attacking the Japanese navy inside and outside with the Tang Empire.

However, Fiji is currently a British colony, so Zhang Meng had to convince Bain, the British High Commissioner to the Central Pacific.

Just as Zhang Meng was flying to Fiji to try to convince Bain, Tokyo, Japan, thousands of miles away, was holding an emergency meeting attended by both the military and political parties.

After the Japanese learned that the Japanese Shinno's fleet had been wiped out, the Japanese military simply refused to believe that this was true. It was not until the two Islamic submarines returned to Japan that the Japanese Navy confirmed that Shinno's fleet and his fleet were wiped out. As for how they were wiped out, because the two submarines were too slow, the battle had already ended after reaching the sea area where the accident occurred. They only saw the wreckage of warships floating everywhere on the sea surface and the bodies of Japanese naval officers and soldiers.

On the one hand, the Japanese Navy ordered a thorough investigation of the matter, and on the other hand, it submitted a report to the military, and planned to dispatch the main force of the joint fleet to expedition the Tang Empire again.

As Zhang Meng expected. This time, the Japanese Navy thought that it was embarrassing and threw it on Mars. Since the day the Japanese navy was established in modern times, it has never been defeated. Now the myth of the Japanese Navy's undefeated has been broken, but it was still defeated by a small island country that had just been established for a few years, and it was completely defeated in annihilation. In Zhang Meng's words, the Japanese Navy should buy a piece of tofu and kill it himself.

Lieutenant General Kobayashi, commander of the Japanese Joint Fleet, also thought that he was embarrassed and threw him on Mars. Therefore, he directly proposed to lead the main force of the joint fleet to expedition the Tang Empire again, and to avenge the revenge of Ono Shi Sandian and tens of thousands of Japanese naval officers and soldiers. He vowed to batter the Tang Empire.

Hamaguchi Yuki's cabinet had been under great international political pressure from Britain, the United States and other countries before. He thought he would quickly take over the Tang Empire and plunder it and retreat. Hamaguchi Yuki was willing to be a grandson for a few days, and tried to shake his tail to please Britain, the United States and pacify international public opinion.

As a result, news of the navy's defeat was returned, and such huge losses made Yuyuki Hamaguchi feel heartbroken. Faced with the strong pressure from the Japanese military, Yuyuki Hamaguchi's regretful heartbrokenness, because the entire army of Ono Shisani Fleet was wiped out, which made the Japanese military seize the full support of all sectors of society. In this way, the Japanese military will have enough excuses to ask the government for money.

What Yuyuki Hamaguchi least wanted was to allocate funds to the Japanese military, because he knew that once the crazy Japanese military received enough funds, it would be an uncontrolled beast that would drag Japan into the abyss of war.
