Although it was determined that there were casualties among those who came to attack, the attackers did not leave any bodies or any valuable physical evidence. Even if there was physical evidence, it later spread to the entire Mersing.
It was completely burned in the fire, leaving no trace.
That's not right. You can't say it didn't happen. When the fire was extinguished three days later, the British still organized an inspection. Except for a few guns that were burned into twists, there were only pure copper bullet casings all over the ground.
After identification, these cartridge cases were produced by Americans.
This conclusion makes the British cry. The whole world has reasons to deal with the British, but the Americans do not, especially in the current Southeast Asia, when the United States and the United Kingdom need to stick together for warmth.
We really need to stick together for warmth. After Japan ceded almost all its overseas territories to Lan Fang, now looking at the map of Southeast Asia, apart from Lan Fong's land, the remaining ones are French Indochina, the largest, and the British Malay Territory.
The Philippines looks very lonely to Asians and Americans. Perhaps the British still have an advantage in the world, but in Southeast Asia, the British have fallen behind. This is an indisputable fact.
Of course, the British also have an advantage, that is, the British still control half of the Malacca Strait, but this advantage can be regarded as an advantage compared to the Republic of China or Japan, but not to Lanfang.
Just kidding, Lan Fang also controls half of the Strait of Malacca. Even Lan Fang's ships do not need to enter the Strait of Malacca at all. Instead, they go directly to Coconut City along the south side of Jinzhou, which makes the distance closer.
When Mersing was attacked, the statistics at the time made the British cry. About 4,500 colonial soldiers died in previous attacks and fires after the explosion. Four British warships parked in Mersing were burned.
, although the two heavy cruisers were not burned, they both needed major repairs, and the direct economic loss was about 100 million pounds.
100 million pounds, which made the British heartbroken. Lloyd George and King George V swore on different occasions that they would find the attackers and make those people pay the price they deserve.
Why are you still searching? There are not many countries in the world that are capable of hacking the British, and there are even fewer countries that can take action to hack the British. In addition, the Lanfang Penglai Island Materials Laboratory leak case some time ago has countless fingers pointed at it.
Lan Fang, but unfortunately the British don't have any evidence.
Yes, it is evidence. The British knew that Lan Fang was the most suspect, but at the same time, the British did not have any evidence that Lan Fang was responsible for the attack.
This is different from the previous leak cases. After all, it was proved that Benson Franklin was the biggest suspect in killing Victor Acheson, and Benson Franklin could not explain himself.
But now the British don't have any evidence, so the British can only knock out their teeth and swallow it.
Well, of course the British will not just let it go. They will definitely want to regain their position, but at least not now. The British are not in the mood to regain their position now.
At the end of December, Xu Shichang, President of the Beiyang Government of the Republic of China, visited Lanfang. This is what the British are most concerned about now.
Since the Japanese power withdrew from the Republic of China, there was a power vacuum in the domestic market for a time. All kinds of Japanese goods that used to fill the market have disappeared, and people wander around with a tachi stuck diagonally in their belts all day long.
The Japanese Ronin also disappeared, which gave other forces a chance to occupy the Republic of China market.
It is true that opportunities only come to those who are prepared. To be more precise, opportunities only come to those who are prepared in France.
The British were busy putting down the rebellion in Sarawak and could not take care of the Republic of China market for a while. Therefore, the French made a lot of money during this period, transporting light industrial products, steel products, oil, etc. ship after ship from France to the Republic of China. industrial products.
Seeing the French people making a lot of money, the British are really envious.
However, the British did not pay attention to small profits. The British pursued the entire Republic of China market. Therefore, negotiating with the Republic of China government to replace the Japanese in the Republic of China market was what the British really wanted.
At this time, President Xu Shichang of the Republic of China visited Lanfang, which had to make the British more vigilant.
Lu Zhengxiang, Lanfang's second prime minister who had just taken office, went to Yecheng Airport to greet Xu Shichang.
It's the airport.
When Lanfang and Japan went to war, Bao Deshui led a torpedo plane to make a transfer from the Republic of China. Since then, the Republic of China government began to look to Lanfang to purchase various bombers, transport aircraft, and fighter jets in an attempt to form its own air force. .
From a national perspective, Lan Fang would not help the Republic of China establish its air force, but from a Chinese perspective, Lan Fang had to help the Republic of China.
So with the cooperation of Lanfang, the Republic of China established an air force with five transport planes, ten bombers, and ten fighter jets. One of the transport planes was changed into a car for President Xu Shichang himself. This time he came to Lanfang, Xu Shichang I just came here by transport plane.
Mr. Bu Wu, this journey has been tiring and tiring. Lu Zhengxiang held Xu Shichang's hand with a smile on his face.
Lu Zhengxiang served as Prime Minister of Lanfang, which made it much easier to deal with the Republic of China. At least Lu Zhengxiang was very familiar with the political arena of the Republic of China. Lu Zhengxiang knew the names of the big guys in the Republic of China.
Zi Xin, after three days of separation, you should look at each other with admiration. Xu Shichang lamented that the years are passing by.
Just two years ago, Lu Zhengxiang was the Minister of Foreign Affairs of the Republic of China. He was running around for the interests of the Republic of China, like a mouse in a wooden box. Unexpectedly, two years later, Lu Zhengxiang would transform into Lanfang, the No. 1 person in Asia. The prime minister of a powerful country is so miraculous in worldly affairs that it is impossible to fathom. It can only be said that fate plays tricks on people.
How about it? Is this special plane still easy to use? The envy on Lu Zhengxiang's face was just right. It could satisfy Xu Shichang psychologically without making Xu Shichang feel uncomfortable.
It's really easy to use. The key is convenience and speed. In the past, it would have taken ten and a half days to get here from Jinmen, but I didn't expect that it only took less than a day to fly to Coconut Island. The city is truly amazing. Xu Shichang was generous with his praise.
This half-day effort is also mixed with the maintenance and refueling time when stopping at the airport along the way. If you fly here directly,
Well, Peking is more than 5,000 kilometers away from Yecheng. Even if we fly directly there, it will take half a day.
Haha, that's very good. Please, His Majesty has arranged a reception banquet for you in the palace. Let's hurry up and don't keep His Majesty waiting. After Lu Zhengxiang finished speaking, he led Xu Shichang to the car parked on the tarmac. Walk.
Although Lanfang's automobile industry was just born, it is developing very fast. It already has several series. In addition to the military Bulldog, the civilian off-road Chasing Wind, and the speed-seeking Jueying, the Wuzui series is finally on the market. .
Wuzhui, from the beginning of its design, was a government vehicle. As you can tell from the name Wuzhui, the solemn and elegant black is the main color. In addition to the color, all the designs are aimed at stability and safety, so The vehicle steel plates are thickened as much as possible, and they are also composite armor, which is a layer of steel plate and a layer of cork, which can absorb the impact force to the greatest extent. The result of pursuing safety is that Wuzhui's own weight was lost when designing and forming. At over 2.5 tons, this is simply an armored vehicle.
Since the pursuit of safety is equivalent to sacrificing speed and the thrill of racing, even if Wu Zui is driving at full speed, the speed does not exceed 40 kilometers per hour, which is really incomparable with Jueying, which has already exceeded 80 kilometers per hour.
Fortunately, Xu Shichang and Lu Zhengxiang were not in a hurry. They got into the same car. Xu Shichang was very interested: This is, this is what you produced yourself.
Yes, speaking of it, this is the fourth model we have produced. It is specially used by government departments. His Majesty is also riding in this kind of car. Lu Zhengxiang's words were full of pride.
It's really unbelievable. The rise of Lanfang is like a comet. The higher your achievements are, the more painful it is for us. God does not come true, Xu Shichang patted his thigh and regretted it.
If there had not been the Tianjin Wharf incident, then everything in Lanfang now could be considered as belonging to the Republic of China. Xu Shichang could not imagine how powerful the Republic of China would be. If the Beiyang government could possess Lanfang's current industrial strength, even half, or It was one-third, and Xu Shichang was confident that he would end the civil strife in the Republic of China as quickly as possible.
Haha, let him let go of the past. Talking about it now is of no use. Lu Zhengxiang can harden his heart.
Lu Zhengxiang knew very well that Xu Shichang's visit was ultimately for Lan Fang. Although Lu Zhengxiang sympathized with the Republic of China and wanted to help the Republic of China from the bottom of his heart, everything must be done without harming Lan Fang's interests, otherwise Huang Bohan The People's Party under the leadership will definitely not save face for Lu Zhengxiang.
The People's Party is a party founded by Huang Bohan based on Qin Zhiyuan's instruction. The People's Party's political pursuit is elite politics. The people perform their duties and assume their responsibilities, and work together to build Lanfang.
Zixin, we are all Chinese. You Lanfang are prospering now, how can you bear to see the Chinese people in the Republic of China living in deep water or in the middle of the water? We are the real strip of water, the real blood is thicker than water, if nothing else, since After the founding of Lanfang, there must be tens of millions of Chinese who emigrated from the Republic of China. For the sake of their relatives and friends who stayed in the country, Lanfang should not stand idly by and watch the Republic of China descend into such a chaotic situation. Xu Shichang's expression was serious.
In the current Republic of China, although the Japanese forces have been driven away and the military government in the south seems to have no backing, the situation seems to be worse than two months ago.
As far as Xu Shichang knows, the southern military government is now contacting Americans and British respectively, hoping to gain support from the Americans and British, and then continue to oppose the Beiyang government.
In this matter, the Americans and the British did something extremely unethical, and their bodies were worse than those of the Japanese.
The Japanese have seized the greatest rights and interests in the Republic of China. Therefore, although the Japanese oppose the Beiyang government, they do not want the Republic of China to smash all the domestic jars and jars because of the civil war. Americans and British are different. They want to obtain the entire market of the Republic of China. So starting over is the best option.
Faced with this situation, Xu Shichang was helpless and could only come to Lan Fang for help.
And Lu Zhengxiang could only smile bitterly, what else could he say?
