() Just when Liu Fu was squatting happily in the Presidential Palace in Taipei, paying attention to the Anglo-Boer War and adjusting Taiwan's economy, agriculture, transportation and national defense, a piece of intelligence from the mainland triggered President Liu's
Nerve. This information came from Tianjin. It is Tianjin's "Golden Elephant Pharmacy".
"A request for instructions from the Ministry of Internal Affairs in Tianjin mentioned that several gangs in Tianjin have come to the pharmacy many times to warn them, asking the pharmacy not to sell foreign medicines, hire foreign doctors, etc., and also proposed that the pharmacy join a group called "Boxers".
Organization, this organization seems to be specifically working against foreigners.
"Boxer Rebellion??? I'm going. You can't mess with this organization. It's not a cult, it's a radical organization. It's all about non-violence and non-cooperation." Liu Fu looked at the telegram and muttered something.
Although they are not very familiar with modern history, anyone who has gone to school or read a few novels will know that one of the most disgusting moments in modern Chinese history was when some people in the Qing Dynasty secretly used the Boxer Rebellion to plan and fight against the Boxers.
The foreigners resisted, but failed to play well. They went too far and killed the German minister at the time, and then the Eight-Nation Allied Forces entered Beijing.
"Is it 1900? This year sounds easy to pronounce, it seems to be?" Liu Fu didn't dare to trust his memory.
"Whether it is or not, let's calculate it based on 1900... Now it's 1900... Come..." After counting on his fingers for a long time, Liu Fu finally realized that if the Eight-Nation Allied Forces entered Beijing in 1900,
That's this year.
"Sir, what are your orders?" Outside the office is Liu Fu's secretary and security guard. This position has always been filled by former stormtroopers from the Ministry of Internal Affairs. Liu Fu is worried about letting others do it. The title of sir is Liu Fu.
Fu stipulates that he is not used to others calling him "President" or "President".
"An emergency meeting will be held in the afternoon. The ministers of the Ministry of National Defense, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, and the Ministry of Internal Affairs will all participate. I will announce the content of the meeting at that time. In addition, tell Xu Zengliang to send a few more people to Tianjin to pay close attention to the Boxer Rebellion." Liu Fu.
said.
That afternoon, in the conference room of the Presidential Palace in Taipei, Liu Fu met with several ministers and military and political officials from Taiwan's government to discuss further strengthening the weakening of nearby foreign forces.
At the meeting, Liu Fu proposed that everyone make a plan to see if they could carry out a limited attack on the naval forces of the United States, Britain, France and Japan in the near future, provided that Taiwan itself was not exposed.
The ministers and staff discussed for a long time and agreed that the French had nothing to attack. The two newly dispatched cruisers were also old cruisers from more than ten years ago, and one of them still had a wooden hull. It was really worth noting that they should not be used specially.
Send submarines to attack. Moreover, French ships rarely leave the coastal waters and stay in the port at night. There is no good opportunity to attack. If you attack rashly, you will be in danger of being exposed;
American warships basically follow the army to provide artillery support and serve as troop carriers. The underwater terrain of the Philippine Islands is too complicated. Although there are Taiwanese submarines and cargo ships doing hydrographic detection there, they are still far from being needed for combat operations.
, except for a few important ports, the remaining small ports and offshore waters have not been visited yet. If we go out rashly, we may be stranded;
The British side is the easiest to fight recently. Although the British fleet is very careful in defense, it is not difficult to find an opportunity to sneak into the port for a sneak attack. But being easy to fight does not mean being able to fight. The British are too close to Taiwan. If
Hitting the British is like poking a hornet's nest. It will definitely attract the attention of other countries, and the British
I don't think about the French. After being beaten, most of them are joking. The British are equivalent to the modern United States at this period. The boss is beaten and becomes anxious. All the cousins and younger brothers, including the Germans who are secretly against the British, are also
It’s not a good idea to pinch your nose and help others to support the boss. Therefore, attacking the British is not a good idea;
Then comes the Japanese. After nearly three years of training, the Japanese have purchased three more cruisers from the United Kingdom, and they are new cruisers. Their combat effectiveness is slowly recovering. However, because the Japanese navy has been in a downturn for a while, the Russians have taken advantage of it.
Now, the Japanese Navy is focusing its attention on Dalian and Lushun. It is making every effort to guard against the Russian Far East Fleet docked in Lushun Port. It poses no threat to Taiwan. Is it necessary to go so far to sneak attack a few cruisers?
Finally, there are Russia and the Germans. The Russians have occupied the two ice-free ports of Lushun and Dalian, and are finally able to sail the Far East Fleet to the Far East. They are now in a state of excitement and are busy teasing the waters of North Korea and Japan.
Playing by myself; the Germans are the most honest and guard their own Shandong and play house by themselves; if they want to attack the fleets of these two countries, the journey will be a big problem. It is a long voyage and there is no guarantee that all submarines will successfully attack and then return smoothly.
;
After analyzing it, it turns out that it is not safe to attack anyone. Liu Fu was depressed. Originally, he wanted to weaken the power of various countries more, so that it would not be so easy for them to attack Tianjin and Bei Jing. Maybe
If you still can't defeat Bei Jing, after occupying Tianjin, the imperial court will be afraid, so you can pay some money. In this way, you don't have to burn the Summer Palace, and you can make some contribution to China.
But it seemed that this contribution could not be made. Various difficulties and inappropriateness made Liu Fu in a dilemma. In the end, Xu Zengliang from the Ministry of Internal Affairs was the most considerate of Liu Fu, although he did not know why Liu Fu wanted to attack those foreigners.
Ship, but he could feel that Mr. had some difficulties.
My husband's difficulties are my own difficulties. This is the deep inner thinking of these stormtroopers. Since my husband wants to fight foreigners, I must support him, and he must support it with reason. Young people's brains are better, Xu Zengliang sees
After thinking about the map for a while, he whispered:
"Since the gentleman said that these foreign fleets may attack Tianjin, then we don't need to take action here in the South China Sea. Can we send a few submarines to Tianjin and make a sneak attack while they are fighting? In this way, they will not be easily exposed and can also
Able to fish in troubled waters."
"Well... that's a good idea, Mingxue, can your submarine sail to Tianjin? Can you ensure that it comes back safely without being discovered?" Liu Fu patted his head, feeling his thoughts
I was a bit rigid. I only thought about going to other people's bases for a sneak attack, but I didn't realize that Tianjin was the best place for a sneak attack.
"This...if it is a formation of several ships, it should not be a big problem. We can arrange cargo ships to provide cover and supplies. When we arrive in Tianjin, we can attack at night, then return to the open sea to join the cargo ships, and then return to Taiwan. I can personally lead the team
, the chance of success without being exposed is very high." Wu Mingxue, captain of the Navy's submarine force, said thoughtfully while looking at the chart.
"Okay, then you will lead the team. But let me tell you something ugly. If your whereabouts are exposed, you will no longer be the team leader when you come back. I will let you be the ground staff of the base." Liu Fu planned to use pressure.
, to further determine the feasibility of this mission.
"Don't worry, President, if my whereabouts are exposed, I will retire automatically when I come back." Wu Mingxue stared at the chart and said fiercely.
After finalizing the plan for the sneak attack, Liu Fu began to order Xu Zengliang to increase intelligence collection on Tianjin and fleet stations in various countries, as well as various actions of the Boxer Rebellion.
