The distance between China and Japan is very close, and the economic exchanges between China and Japan are very close. In the past, there were hundreds of thousands of exchanges between the two countries every year at their peak. There were also a large number of expatriates and businessmen in each other, and there was also a huge economic gap between China and Japan.
Complementary, Japan exports various industrial products, arms, and even opium to China, while China mainly exports food, raw materials, and labor.
However, after Qiao Yu came to power, there were more and more conflicts between China and Japan, and the contradictions between China and Japan became more and more serious, and there were more and more restrictions on each other. Especially after the Great Kanto Earthquake, a large number of Chinese people in Japan were
Kill, among them there are many international students who originally yearned for Japan.
After this conflict, Sino-Japanese relations instantly dropped to a freezing point. This reduction was not only official, but also private. The Chinese people regarded Japan as a beast-like country, and economic and trade exchanges became less and less.
Originally, China had nearly 50,000 to 60,000 people engaged in various business activities in Japan, but now there are only more than 17,000 people left. After the confrontation in the East China Sea broke out, both China and Japan were deploying troops, and the situation became increasingly critical. This
At this time, evacuation of overseas Chinese and divestment of capital has become inevitable.
However, Japan's seizure of a Chinese passenger ship was beyond everyone's expectation. According to international law, ships traveling on the ocean belong to a country's mobile territory. If the two countries have not declared war, Japan has no right to
Seizing a Chinese passenger ship on the high seas and using the military to deal with some helpless ordinary people is really detrimental to the glorious tradition of the navy.
However, the Japanese did not regard this as a shame at all. After they intercepted the Chinese ship, they immediately announced that someone on the ship had stolen Japanese military secrets and wanted to conduct a large-scale search. Naturally, the Chinese would not agree.
The stalemate at sea has been going on for nearly an hour.
Qiao Yu knows very well that this is a slap in the face of Japan. At this juncture, if you don't have enough strength, you can only admit it. However, China still has many trump cards in hand and will definitely not be afraid of Japan.
Original entry.
"Ark, how many warships did Japan mobilize this time?"
"Japan has dispatched a Furutaka heavy cruiser and two destroyers!"
Qiao Yu nodded, knowing very well that this was a test force sent by Japan, and no one could just risk their lives with precious battleships as soon as they came up!
"Ark, in this case, we will also send a cruiser over, and let the Chaoyong hold the battle from behind. It is bound to rescue all our expats. There must not be any damage. Try not to fire the first shot, but
If Riben bullies you too much, don't worry about it, just let me go and beat him hard!"
After Chen Shaokuan, who was in Quanzhou, received the order, he took immediate action and dispatched the cruiser Baoding, which was patrolling the nearby waters, to quickly approach. At the same time, he also sent the Chaoyong, one of the two escort aircraft carriers modified by China, to rush there quickly.
, with a standard displacement of 8,000 tons, can accommodate thirty carrier-based aircraft, adopts an advanced island structure, and has better combat effectiveness than the Japanese Fengxiang.
However, it is basically evenly matched, because when this kind of detection method is not developed, the war is very sudden. If one side is lucky enough to discover the other side in advance, the possibility of winning will be much greater. If you are unlucky, then
I can only admit that I am unlucky.
"President, if the new ships can be put into service, we will still have some confidence in dealing with the Japanese combined fleet. But now we only have a few refitted old ships. It is not easy to defeat Japan, small island countries like these.
In 2016, all its energy was focused on the navy, and the Japanese navy’s current combat effectiveness is not much weaker than that of the United States!”
Jiang Baili has regarded Japan as China's biggest opponent over the years, and has been constantly studying this opponent. When it comes to the actual confrontation, Jiang Baili is a little unsure, and he is a little anxious for no reason!
Qiao Yu smiled slightly, "Brother Baili, war is not about whether you are well prepared or not, but about how many mistakes you made compared to many parties. No matter what kind of war there is chance, the more critical the moment, we will
The more we need to be calm, trust the soldiers on the front line, trust our country and nation, and the most important thing is to be confident enough!"
"What the President said is correct, but I can't help but feel a little flustered. This is why Jiang can only be a staff officer in his life and cannot go to the front line to command. He has thousands of plans in his mind, but when it comes to making a decision, he always fails.
You are looking forward and backward without making up your mind!"
"Haha, Brother Baili, you are thinking too much, but I don't think it is necessary to win the lottery this time. After all, Japan did not send out the combined fleet this time, and both of us are
We consciously concentrated the confrontation in the East China Sea. In fact, we just wanted to test each other, but sooner or later there will be a decisive battle between China and Japan!"
"That's what the president said, but I hope that next time China will hit Japan's doorstep, instead of Japan hitting our doorstep!"
Defense Minister Wu Tong also spoke. China's top leaders have a basic judgment on this war. Both China and Japan actually want to control the scale of the war, so there will be no national war. But everyone knows that once a war does occur,
Now, it can no longer be controlled by a few political figures.
As long as one party is unwilling to give up, the war will have to continue. Therefore, in addition to deploying troops and generals in the East China Sea, China has also made a lot of arrangements along the coast and border areas.
By constructing coastal defense fortifications in key coastal areas, laying mines, setting up coastal defense artillery, mobilizing large air force formations, recruiting militiamen, and patrolling all coastlines, the Chinese navy is in a weak position. If it cannot defeat the Japanese, all coastal areas will face
carries significant risks.
The same is true on land. The China-North Korea border and the outer Xing'an Mountains are all actively preparing for war, and the war has begun.
At this time, the Chinese warship finally arrived in the sea area where the incident occurred. A Japanese destroyer was clinging to a Chinese passenger ship. Not far away was Japan's newly launched Furutaka heavy cruiser. This is Japan's newly launched Furutaka heavy cruiser.
The first-class heavy cruiser built after the signing of the Treaty of Washington was a warship to provide escort for Japan's planned Eighth Eighth Fleet. It had a displacement of nearly 8,000 tons and was equipped with a 200 mm main gun.
It looks mighty and tall, but the commander on the Furutaka at this time is Deputy Attendant Toyota. This person is a complete navalist. Toyota despises the army and believes that only the navy can bring glory to the Japanese Empire. This is also
This is a manifestation of the serious opposition between Japan's army and navy.
Toyota has always regarded the failure in the Battle of Qingdao as the biggest shame of the Japanese combined fleet. Especially the sinking of the Settsu broke the lie that the Japanese Navy was protected by the God of Yaotera, which made the Japanese Navy once have a hatred for itself.
Huge doubt.
Even Vice Admiral Toyoda himself admitted that when he saw the Fuso returning to Japan with scars, he could hardly believe that it was an invincible combined fleet. However, Toyota did not reflect on Japan's tactics.
It has fallen behind, but the responsibility has been attributed to the commander and Japan's government. It is because of these thieves that Japan, which has elite warships, cannot defeat China.
If he could command a warship, he would definitely be able to defeat China. This time, the opportunity that Toyoda had been waiting for had arrived. He personally commanded the Furutaka to intercept the Chinese passenger ship on the high seas.
Originally, Toyota was not willing to deal with ordinary people who had no power. His mission was to deal with China's maritime power, but he could not disobey the orders from the top, and he also knew that Japan was deliberately creating friction.
Although China and Japan have wanted to go to war for a long time, there must be an explanation for public opinion.
But no matter how innocent they are in the media, or how forced they are, this is just a trick to deceive people. Of course, this trick is also indispensable. Japan originally wanted to lure the Chinese warships over through this operation.
Let the two sides conflict, and then Japan can justifiably launch a war. Therefore, they did not rush to take away the Chinese passenger ship after intercepting it. As expected, the Chinese warships followed suit.
The tonnage of the cruiser Baoding sent by China this time is also more than 8,000 tons. This is the first-class heavy cruiser built by China. Chinese shipbuilding engineers have put a lot of effort into this warship. They completely regard the Baoding as a
It is a necessary stage for China to build giant ships. The Baoding, which has been in service for nearly three years, has shown excellent performance and can be compared with the world's first-class warships.
This time, the Chinese side faced Japan's Furutaka without any hesitation. They immediately sent a coded telegram to the Japanese warship, saying that Japan's action of seizing the Chinese passenger ship was illegal and a serious violation of China's sovereignty. If Japan insists on its own way,
The Chinese navy will fulfill its mission of protecting its own nationals, and Japan will have to bear any consequences.
Vice Admiral Toyota is also a militant. He is impatient that China dares to threaten him. Toyota also called back immediately, saying that there are spies on the Chinese passenger ships who have stolen Japanese military intelligence, and Japan will never let this information go.
He returned to China safely while the two sides were confronting each other.
Toyoda's subordinates discovered that several black spots appeared in the sky in the distance, and soon flew over the Japanese warships. It turned out that it was the carrier-based aircraft of the Super Hero that came over. The appearance of these carrier-based aircraft was undoubtedly
It showed that the Chinese aircraft carrier had arrived, and Toyota's deputy commander suddenly felt depressed for a while.
Chinese aircraft have almost become a nightmare for the Japanese army and navy. As long as they encounter these small toy-like things, Japan will be in trouble, whether it is a giant ship of the navy or the spirit of Bushido that the army is proud of.
All are no match for bombs!
Soon these planes reached the top of the Furutaka and kept circling in the sky. Huge bombs were hung under the belly of the plane. This was a huge threat. As long as the Furutaka was hit by a bomb, it would be completely destroyed.
Sinking into the sea, there is no hope of survival.
At this time, Toyota's deputy commander was very angry. The Japanese did not expect that the Chinese warships could arrive so quickly. Their main ship was still a hundred nautical miles away from the incident site.
At this time, China sent another telegram, demanding that Japan must hand over the Chinese passenger ship as soon as possible, otherwise what awaits Japan will only be a ruthless attack from China. In addition to the plane, the Baoding is also ready at this time.
, the black hole's muzzle was pointed directly at the Furutaka.
At this moment, a gunner on the Furutaka, perhaps because he was too nervous, subconsciously fired a string of flames just as the plane passed overhead. The sound of gunshots instantly broke the dull confrontation on the sea.
, the Chinese side was ordered not to fire the first shot.
But now that Japan has fired the first shot, China does not need to be polite. The carrier-based aircraft quickly pounced on the Furutaka!
