On the second day of negotiations, the number of participants expanded rapidly. Bastian and Lu Zongyu joined as belligerents. The U.S. Ambassador to Lanfang, Glinton Augustine, and the British Ambassador to Lanfang, Scott James, also joined in the name of mediators.
Come in and try to start curbing Lan Fang's ambitions.
Yes, the Americans and the British were determined to curb Lan Fang's ambitions. This was very obvious from the very beginning of the negotiations.
But relatively speaking, Glinton Augustine's performance is a bit ambiguous.
The focus of the conflict is still concentrated on Korea, Ryukyu Islands, Mariana Islands, Marshall Islands, Caroline Islands and Ogasawara Islands. Japan insists that these places have nothing to do with Lanfang, and Lanfang cannot make unreasonable demands.
At the same time, Japan advocated that Lanfang should withdraw from the Japanese territory of the Kuril Islands and Sakhalin Island, claiming that it had nothing to do with this war. However, in order to make up for Lanfang's losses, the Japanese were willing to pay, just like the Qing Dynasty.
The government paid Liao silver to redeem the Liaodong Peninsula.
It is estimated that because of the intervention of the Americans and British, the Japanese felt that they were not short of money, so they did not have much opinion on the amount of compensation, but they valued the territory very much.
Lu Zhengxiang rejected the request of Hara Kei and Tanaka Giichi, saying that Sakhalin and the Kuril Islands were originally the inherent territory of the Chinese. It was natural for Lanfang to inherit the ownership, and it was illegal for Japan to take it from the Russian Empire. Therefore, the Kuril Islands are now
There is no dispute at all with Sakhalin Island.
As for Goryeo and Ryukyu, they were originally vassal states of the Qing Empire. Japan attacked the tributary states of the Qing Empire without authorization. As a member of the Chinese people, it is only natural that Lan Fang seek justice from the Japanese. No one can point fingers.
As for the Marshall Islands, Mariana Islands and Ogasawara Islands, to be honest, these islands have little to do with Lanfang. On the contrary, Americans are very interested in these islands, such as the Mariana Islands. Americans occupied Guam a long time ago.
, has long had the intention of taking all the Mariana Islands into its hands.
The reason why Lanfang brought up the Marshall Islands, Mariana Islands and Ogasawara Islands was actually to confuse the public. If the ownership of these islands became the focus of negotiations, then the ownership of the Korea Ryukyu Islands would not be so fiercely controversial.
Qin Zhiyuan's bottom line is the Yingzhou, Penghu Islands, Korea, Ryukyu Islands, Kuril Islands, and the Japanese part of Sakhalin Island. As long as these islands are captured and some compensation is obtained from Japan, Lanfang's launch of this war will be regarded as a complete merit.
Of course, France and the Republic of China, both participating countries in the war, also had their own demands.
The Republic of China demanded that Japan return all rights in the Kanto region of the Republic of China, demanded the removal of all Japanese concessions in the Republic of China, and demanded the abolition of all unequal treaties signed between Japan and the Republic of China.
France's request is more direct. France's request is money, as long as you give it money.
The pain caused by the world war to France was too great. The French urgently needed to restore their economy. As for colonies, the French did not care about them. They had many colonies.
On the second day, and the third day after that, the two sides finally figured out the bottom line of each other's negotiations, and then they negotiated one by one, which was extremely difficult.
While the negotiations were ongoing, Lanfang's troops were advancing rapidly. Except for Goryeo, whose progress was still slow, Lanfang's troops had absolute advantages on the battlefield in all other directions.
Although they were exhausted, the Japanese were still resisting. Even when facing Lan Fang's army, which was armed to the teeth, the Japanese did not give up. In terms of fighting will, the Japanese were indeed good.
But for Lanfang's army, it is futile to resist with will alone. Lanfang's army also does not lack will, has richer combat skills, and also has stronger combat effectiveness.
It is indeed right to emphasize will, but if one-sided emphasis on the importance of will ignores the huge differences in equipment, it is tantamount to deceiving the people to die. The current Emperor of Japan and a group of Japanese military officials are deceiving the Japanese people.
die.
Judging from the fighting process in Keelung Port and Lushun, Lanfang's war against Japan has gradually evolved into a massacre. The Japanese have no power to fight back, but the Japanese high-level officials are unwilling to face this. They would rather support it bitterly.
, and are unwilling to admit their failures.
It's hard to understand what kind of mentality this is, but Qin Zhiyuan is tired now, so under Qin Zhiyuan's instruction, Xie Rundong, who has rushed outside Tokyo Bay, and Greif, who has occupied most of Hokkaido, are preparing to attack Tokyo.
Launching an air raid, Emperor Taisho felt the destructive power of war firsthand.
Early morning, Sapporo Airport.
With one more spare fuel tank, we have to carry four less aerial bombs. In this case, our forty bombers are only equivalent to the original 25, and the bombing efficiency is greatly reduced. Unfortunately, our solidification has been used up, and we only rely on high-explosive bombers.
How effective the bomb can be is a question. Northern Xinjiang Air Force Commander Liang Lishan looked at the bombers on the tarmac ready to take off with a little regret.
Sapporo is the largest city in Hokkaido. By capturing Sapporo, it can actually be announced that Lanfang has occupied the entire Hokkaido.
After the Northern Xinjiang Military Region captured Sapporo, it immediately built an airport in Sapporo. Now the bomber unit of the Northern Xinjiang Region has transferred from Lelang Airport to Sapporo Airport, and can barely carry out air strikes on Tokyo.
Bombing Tokyo is a huge temptation for all soldiers. To be honest, if Liang Lishan hadn't held an important position, Liang Lishan would have wanted to fly a bomber to Tokyo himself to have fun.
Enough is enough, solidification will hurt Tianhe after all. Greif still has a heart of compassion.
Lanfang's two bombings on Keelung and Lushun have now spread throughout Lanfang. To be honest, the efficiency of solidification is indeed high and the power is powerful enough, but fire and water are ruthless. As long as the solidification is thrown down, no matter what is underneath, it will burn.
It's completely clean, this is really harmful to the harmony of heaven and earth.
From the standpoint of some Chinese with imperial tendencies, of course the more Japanese people die, the better, but there is a bottom line in all things. It is not necessary to exterminate all Japanese people. Between the Chinese and the Japanese
Only then can the hatred be resolved.
To put it bluntly, Japan in this era has not yet fought the Second Sino-Japanese War. Similarly, the September 18th Incident has not yet occurred, let alone the Nanjing Massacre. The Chinese do hate the Japanese, but there is no Chinese in another time and space.
The hatred is so strong.
Hehe, Lao Ge, you are very compassionate. Think about it, if the Japanese have bombers now, but we don't, what will happen? Will the Japanese resist the temptation to solidify and bomb our Coconut City? So.
, since we want to beat a drowned dog, we must beat him to death, and we cannot let him breathe and give him a chance to take revenge. Liang Lishan just wanted to beat the Japanese to death with a stick.
Take a breath, haha, even if you take a breath, so what. We can beat them the first time, but we can beat them the second time. Greif is full of domineering.
Greif's thoughts represent the thoughts of some current Lanfang soldiers. They do not have a clear understanding of the harm caused by the Japanese, but they are confident enough that they can teach the Japanese a lesson at any time if necessary.
This kind of confidence is based on countless victories.
Yes, you are right. Liang Lishan took the initiative to stop the meaningless argument and turned his attention to the fighter planes that were flying together one after another.
After taking off, the bombers formed a simple formation and immediately flew to Tokyo.
The straight-line distance between Sapporo and Tokyo is 800 kilometers, and the combat radius of Lanfang's bombers is 750 kilometers. On the premise of carrying auxiliary fuel tanks, the combat radius can be increased by 150 kilometers, and there is no problem in flying to Tokyo.
Two hours later, a group of bombers flew over Tokyo.
At this time, Tokyo was already as miserable as hell on earth, and the heat of Tokyo city could be felt from more than ten kilometers away.
Just half an hour ago, carrier-based bombers led by Xie Rundong had just launched an air raid on Tokyo.
Unlike the cold-faced and warm-hearted Greif, Xie Rundong is a standard imperialist. During the bombing of Tokyo, Xie Rundong's carrier-based bombers used solidification again, which turned Tokyo into a sea of fire.
Tokyo was originally named Edo. After the Edo shogunate ended its rule, Emperor Meiji truly became the emperor of Japan. So Emperor Meiji moved the capital of Japan from Kyoto to Edo and renamed it Tokyo. The former Edo Castle was changed to the emperor's residence.
.
Qin Zhiyuan's order had some effect on Xie Rundong. In the city of Tokyo that was already engulfed in flames, it was obvious that there were not many open flames in the Chiyoda District where the imperial palace was located, which gave Bao Deshui and the others a clear direction of attack.
The Imperial Palace where the Emperor of Japan is located is called the Imperial Palace. Although it is located in downtown Tokyo, the greenery is very good. It is like a forest park and is very easy to recognize from the air.
Bao Deshui didn't have that much compassion. He made a few gestures with his wingman and flew straight towards the imperial palace.
Sitting in the cockpit of the plane, you can clearly see the crowds of people running like ants on the ground. Many people are even running in the direction of the Imperial Palace. Perhaps it is because the Imperial Palace is the only place in Tokyo that has not caught fire. These
People are hiding from the fire demon, or maybe these Japanese people are loyal and want to save their Taisho Emperor.
Standing at this angle, you really have the feeling of overlooking all living beings. You really feel that countless lives are in your hands. If you want them to live, they can live. If you want them to die, they will die in an instant.
It is not unreasonable that many soldiers will suffer severe psychological trauma and need treatment after being discharged from the army.
It doesn't matter, war will always bring the greatest harm to people. This is inevitable, either to the people of Lanfang or to the people of Japan. On this point, everyone is fair.
When he flew directly above the Imperial Palace, Bao Deshui nodded to his co-pilot, who immediately started dropping bombs.
