Chapter 120 The Fate of the Returning Fleet

Li Aiyan said shyly: "Although I am a North Korean, you are my husband at this moment. What does your husband do? As a wife, I certainly support you unconditionally." Li Aiyan has completely figured it out. Tang Jian used some strategies for North Korea, but Li Aiyan has to admit that if China had not sent troops, North Korea's losses at this time might have been greater than it is now, and it had even destroyed its country.

Even though Tang Jian gained a lot of benefits from this war, this is also the price that North Korea needs to pay if it continues to preserve. If it were other countries, North Korea might have paid more and more heavy prices.

To this day, the last little resentment towards Tang Jian in Li Aiyan has disappeared. She is now Tang Jian's woman, and she also believes that under Tang Jian's leadership, the lives of the Korean people will definitely be countless times better than they are now.

"Then when are you going to launch an offensive against Japan?" Li Aiyan asked.

Tang Jian said: "This is still too urgent. The most important thing now is to completely expel the Japanese army in the Asahi area. The next military operation is mainly aimed at pursuing and suppressing the Japanese army in the southern part of Seoul. The second is the Japanese return fleet. At this time, the return fleet should have already sailed into the Indian Ocean and will soon enter the South China Sea. This battle against Japan is extremely important to China, and no mistakes are allowed."

"What should we do next?" Li Aiyan asked. Now North Korea and China are closely related. One prosper and one loss are both prosperous and one loss are both important. It is very important for Japan's local wars to China and equally important for North Korea.

Tang Jian smiled and said, "Even if North Korea is a springboard, if it attacks Japan's mainland, it still needs to fight across the sea. Cross-sea combat means that controlling sea power is crucial. Therefore, the subsequent combat missions are not only to clear out the remaining troops, but to delay the return fleet and prevent them from interfering with the army's cross-sea combat."

"Then why not directly annihilate the return fleet? Wouldn't this avoid the threat from the sea?" Li Aiyan asked in confusion. With the strength of the Pacific Fleet, it is entirely possible to wipe out the Japanese return fleet. Why do you have to be so troublesome and delay the return fleet?

"Because I can't bear to leave it! Little fool." Tang Jian cut Li Aiyan's nose lovingly.

Li Aiyan blinked her big watery eyes and then shouted in surprise: "Oh, I understand, you are interested in the battleships in the return fleet."

"Why is my little fool so smart?" Tang Jian laughed.

"Indeed, from the intelligence department of China in Europe, in addition to the warships seized by European countries, there are three new Dragon Viagra-class battleships in the current return fleet, eight new first-class armored cruisers, and more than 20 destroyers and other large and small warships. You should know that these new Dragon Viagra-class battleships, both in speed and main gun fire rate, are much more advanced than the Dragon Viagra-class battleships we developed first. Although China already has high-end advanced battleships like the Fearless, the number is not large. In two months, there will be only two at most." Tang Jian explained.

"Oh, it turns out that you are interested in someone else's new battleship and want to rob halfway!" Li Aiyan suddenly realized.

Tang Jian said shamelessly: "How can you say words like robbing halfway? You are too insulting my quality. Didn't I see that Japan does not have the ability to use these battleships reasonably? I borrowed them to help them keep them for the time being!"

Li Aiyan was amused by Tang Jian's shameless argument. This was the first time she had heard someone robbing her halfway and saying so righteously.

Tang Jian said seriously: "What? Is it funny?"

Li Aiyan held back her smile. Although Tang Jian said something shamelessly, she had to admit that this was the fastest way to significantly increase the strength of the Pacific Fleet.

Tang Jian continued: "Since the naval battle against Russia and Japan, the mid-range warships in the Pacific Fleet have been decreasing, and they cannot be supplemented in a short period of time. You should know that the three battleships in the return fleet are more advanced than the Dragon-Wei-class battleships of China. They are not cheap to take advantage of, and the eight first-class armored cruisers have good performance. If they get these warships, for the Pacific Fleet, China's naval strength has been added to another level, and they can completely become the fifth naval power in the world after Britain, France, Germany and the United States. And they are also the veritable maritime overlords in the Far East, and are no longer the nouveau riche as European and American countries said."

Li Aiyan naturally knew what it meant to have Tang Jian peacefully incorporated the return fleet. Li Aiyan asked: "But you also know that the Japanese did not surrender so easily. They would rather sink themselves than submit."

"Of course I know that the return fleet will not submit easily, but as long as the negotiation capital is enough, he will not be able to submit if he doesn't want to submit." Tang Jian said with a confident smile.

The next one is a high-level military secret. Of course, Li Aiyan knew that she could not ask you the best, so she said obediently: "Don't worry, just concentrate on doing it. During the period of my childbirth, you don't have to be distracted. I will take good care of myself and wait with our children for you to return."

Tang Jian nodded. Li Aiyan and Deng Yimeng are twin sisters, both of whom are so understanding.

It was not until the beginning of the moonlight that Tang Jian reluctantly left Chonghua Palace. At the same time, Tang Jian sent some experienced old ladies and some well-behaved maids to take care of Li Aiyan, and he began to concentrate on preparing for the next step of clearing out the remnants of the army and incorporating the returning fleet.

In the next half month, Nie Shicheng sent a large army to start to wipe out the Japanese remnants south of Seoul. At the same time, Tang Jian reorganized the Korean rebel army into the Korean Volunteer Army, which was temporarily commanded by the Chinese Army Department, and coordinated with China to govern the public security of North Korea after the war, so as to make North Korea's post-war economic recovery on track as soon as possible.

The work of clearing out the remnants of the army went smoothly. In just half a month, Nie Shicheng successively cleared out nearly 10,000 Japanese defeated soldiers, and the largest of them maintained the strength of a brigade.

Unfortunately, Nie Shicheng did not catch Yutomoto, commander of the Asahi Japanese army, and Yoshihara Oshima also lost traces. Later, Nie Shicheng learned that Yutomoto and Yoshihara Oshima disguised themselves as merchants and took merchant ships traveling between Busan, North Korea and Shimonu, Japan, had secretly fled back to Japan.
