Two days have passed since the negotiations, and they are still basically quarreling with each other. Gao Shaoyi did not interfere in the negotiations here. He just asked Li Hongtang to quarrel with them. The people in Dongdi State did not cry without seeing the coffin. Now they still feel that they have something in their hands.
As a bargaining chip for negotiation, if this is the case, we will find someone to talk to you on the one hand, and put pressure on you on the other hand. The day we show up will be the day you sign.
"How are you preparing?"
Gao Shaoyi appeared on the deck of the Dingyuan at this moment, which meant that the fleet was going to make a big move today. In addition to the original fleet, there were several more transport ships nearby, all of which came from Daliao Port.
, there was another regiment of Marines on board.
"Sir, our assault fleet has been prepared and can head to Yawata City at any time."
Wang Baichuan stood aside and said respectfully. Zhu Jiugong had also joined the negotiating mission at this time, so he did not have the time to command the fleet. Gao Shaoyi took part of the fleet and added the newly exchanged warships to form another fleet.
The current target of the assault fleet is Yawata City, the first industrial center of Dongdi Kingdom.
"Then order the fleet to set off immediately. I want to capture this city as soon as possible. I wonder what Taro Kaga's expression will be after we capture it."
Gao Shaoyi looked at the negotiation location in the distance with a smile. You should continue to argue here. You have been arguing for a little benefit for a whole day. I don't have the time to spend time with you here. Now I have to get some benefits.
According to Gao Shaoyi's original battle plan, Yawata City must also be captured. This represents the fifty-year industrialization process of Dongji Country. After the second industrial revolution, Dongji Country's industry has developed by leaps and bounds. Of course, all of them have
This is reflected in the place of Yawata City. As long as we can take this place, although we cannot make the Daqian Empire take off industrially, it can at least save us more than 200 million silver coins.
"This idiot really thinks that the problem can be solved through negotiation. If this is the case, our fleet will be basking in the sun every day. Please rest assured, sir, I am confident that I can capture the eight cities in three days."
Wang Baichuan has not been idle these days, and we are not afraid of a sudden attack on land. Anyway, there are Marines there to support Wang Baichuan. He has been studying the specific situation of Hachiman City for the past two days.
It turns out that we don’t have enough intelligence in our hands. If we attack rashly, we may not be able to defeat it. We don’t have the time to fight a protracted war. After all, we have to go south to Nandong Province, but there is intelligence in the area under our feet.
Who made this the location of the East Di Kingdom’s United Fleet Headquarters?
The defense status of Yawata City is kept in the data room, and some army troops have come to support it. When Prince Akutagawa was fighting, he mobilized the surrounding troops regardless of their responsibilities, so he thought
We thought that we could take back Hengtomi Port in one fell swoop, but now you can't take back Hengtomi Port, but we are eyeing your Yawata City.
"Don't worry about anything else at the beginning of the war, just a heavy bombardment. Maybe the shells will destroy some factories, but compared with the lives of brothers, those factories are not important. We are here to grab things.
We can live with it if we rob more or less. In fact, if the situation is urgent, we can destroy this place."
In the face of huge wealth, Gao Shaoyi's head is very clear. Whether it is the Navy or the Marine Corps, Gao Shaoyi is like a treasure here. There are many industrial cities in the world. If I can't grab it here, I can go to other places, but This group of brothers is different. They are the founders of the Navy and Marine Corps. They would also feel sad to lose Gao Shaoyi.
"Sir..."
Everyone else in the command room, including Wang Baichuan, was very moved. The reason why everyone was loyal to the Suppression Army was, on the one hand, because what the Suppression Army did was everyone's hope, and on the other hand, Gao Shaoyi loved his soldiers like his own son.
If it were other officers, no matter how many people died, they would still have to keep the industrial equipment inside, because those things were very valuable. The Daqian Empire was very poor, but human life was the cheapest.
But Gao Shaoyi instilled another thought in them. We don't care what others say. As long as I am in charge of suppressing the Lu army, it must be people-oriented.
No matter how valuable an item is, it cannot compare with people.
Tomihachiman City is about 120 nautical miles away from Henggang. With the warship moving at full speed, it can be reached very quickly. This time is almost like a surprise attack. After all, everyone in Dongdi Kingdom knows that we have already fought against Daqian. The people from the empire have started negotiations, so now the coastal provinces are considered safe.
When the fleet arrived in Hachiman City, it did not cause much panic, because the fleet had already arrived a while ago and did not send troops to land. It only fired a few cannons at the shore, so the people who fell in love thought it was normal again. Sexual harassment just turned on the alarm, and many people found an open space to lie down.
"That location over there should be the original fort, right?"
Gao Shaoyi pointed to a piece of debris in the distance and said, that is indeed the fort of Yawata City, but it has been beaten to pieces long ago. The naval fleet has come here twice, and every time it comes, it goes back after firing the shells. It is purely To create panic, but this time it's different.
Wang Baichuan nodded, and then explained his battle plan. All the fleets sailed from north to south without stopping in the middle. The behavior was the same as the harassing bombardment a few years ago.
The purpose of this is very simple, that is, to make the armed forces on the shore think that we will not land here, so their reaction will be the same as before. Just find a place to avoid the shells, and wait until these warships pass by. , we are safe. Anyway, now that the shore defense guns are gone and the navy is gone, what the armed forces on the shore can do is very limited.
"You are really very clever. When our fleet is sailing slowly, it should be the time when the Marine Corps is landing, right?"
Before Wang Baichuan finished speaking, Gao Shaoyi had already guessed what this guy was going to do. This would be extremely beneficial to us. Our Marine Corps would be able to land without any resistance. When the time came, they would call The artillery support from the sea can quickly kill the armed forces here...
