But if the secret service organization is delegated to the cabinet and parliament, it will not be conducive to Emperor Yang's control of power. After all, he is still playing the role of a dictator, but he is just wearing the skin of a constitutional monarchy.
And he is prepared to continue like this.
Then this spy organization must still be in his own hands, so Emperor Yang quickly gave up the idea of establishing an FBI or CIA, and instead simply reformed his aide, mainly in terms of division of labor.
Be more detailed and divide it into several areas according to the scope of responsibility.
Moreover, the sign of the Attendant's Office is also a good cover. If he starts any other organizations under the name of the royal family, not to mention it will arouse the vigilance of foreigners. Even the old guys in the Congress should think about the Imperial Guard.
Knowing that Yuan Shikai's reputation outside is not very good now, some members of Congress who are dissatisfied with some of Yang Feng's decisions cannot have the courage to complain to His Majesty the Emperor, but it doesn't matter if they scold the Chief of Staff.
This is not surprising. Many of Yang Feng’s decisions, especially the suppression of landlords, will inevitably arouse their dissatisfaction. This is not the only kind of similar contradiction. In an era that is undergoing drastic changes, contradictions will always emerge in endlessly.
, the next day after solving one, when you open your eyes, the second one will definitely appear again, but even if Yang Feng can't solve it, he can still find a way to pass it on to some unlucky guy. That's why he is so keen on foreign aggression. He just wants to use foreigners.
The pain will give him time to resolve domestic conflicts.
If the royal family creates a modern version of the Jinyiwei, then Big Tou Ge, the traitorous minister who deceives the saints, will be firmly established. Although if you ask yourself, in fact, in most cases, it is Yang Feng who teaches the bad attendants.
And this will cause a rift between His Majesty the Emperor and his subjects. Chinese people are generally very sensitive to this kind of institution, mainly because there are too many examples in history. They can believe that the emperor is always a wise king, but there are always treacherous ministers around the emperor.
, it will also make them very disappointed. If they are disappointed, their dissatisfaction will increase, and society will become disharmonious. As the emperor at that time, he will inevitably ask Brother Big Touou to make sacrifices to satisfy the expectations of the common people, the Holy Lord Mingjun.
By the way, Emperor Yang really doesn't want to play like this, it's very boring.
It doesn't matter just the internal reform of the Attendant's Office. Anyway, the Attendant's Office is theoretically just a personal staff organization of His Majesty the Emperor. It does not have any actual power in its hands. Even if such an organization is reformed, it will not attract anyone's attention.
"Your Majesty, the British and French fleets are attacking the Strait of Otranto for the second time." The treacherous minister who deceived the emperor said to his Majesty the Emperor, who was leaning on the railing on the boat and lamenting his aging.
The British and French fleets are bound to win this time. Nine perfect battleships plus seven old battleships, a full four times advantage, are ready to crush the Austro-Hungarian fleet, especially the four London-class battleships, which are equipped with centralized fire control.
Systematic. Even in the British Royal Navy, this is also the most cutting-edge battleship. The speed of thirty knots also shows the shipbuilding strength of the British Empire. Of course, this has no meaning in the Strait of Otranto. It can run a lot faster.
Be careful, someone should come up and warn you if you cross the line.
Unfortunately, the aggressive British and French fleets had no idea that a trap had been set up on the opposite side and was waiting for them.
"Have our gifts been delivered?" Yang Feng asked casually, holding the fishing rod.
"It was delivered five days ago, but the Austrians are still not quite sure how to operate it on their own, so our engineers are still there to teach them. His Royal Highness the Crown Prince of Austria-Hungary just sent a telegram personally, hoping that you can allow those engineers to use Austrian
Citizenship stays to help them." Yuan Shikai said.
"It doesn't matter. It's just a small matter!" Yang Feng said lightly.
In the Strait of Otranto, nine British and French battleships lined up in a row, showing their sides and pouring cannonballs towards them with maximum firepower. The other seven old battleships were on the right wing like last time, posing ready to attack from the flanks.
The posture disperses the firepower from the opposite side.
Opposite them, four Austro-Hungarian Navy Combined Forces-class battleships, with their bows facing the enemy just like last time, assumed a posture of casually attacking them. Anyway, at such a distance, the 305 cannons would not be able to fire.
It may penetrate their main armor, but if their shells hit, no matter where they hit, the result will be considerable trauma.
This battle lasted for more than ten minutes, and the British and French fleets began to move forward to close the distance. After all, their mission was to open the Strait of Otranto. Even if they suffered a certain amount of losses, they had to complete this mission, but the speed was not very fast, that is,
It's only a dozen knots, which is understandable. If it's too fast, it will definitely affect the shooting accuracy. What's more, if it's too fast, it's easy to hit the Ottoman naval warships that are defending their territorial waters.'
What baffled the commanders of the British and French coalition forces was that at this time, the four combined force-class ships stopped directly, ignoring their intentions at all, moored on the sea like four floating islands, and kept firing their 356 main guns.
Let out a roar of challenge.
"Asshole, what do these guys want to do?" On the battleship London, Admiral Simon, the new commander of the British Mediterranean Fleet, looked at this scene inexplicably.
"Perhaps they are also expecting us to close the distance. After all, the closer the distance, the higher their hit rate. With the power of their main guns, it is easier to sink our warships at close range." An officer next to him smiled bitterly.
Said, but the power of the 356 main guns of the Austro-Hungarian fleet today really impressed them. Of course, what is even more impressive is the powerful armored defense of these four battleships.
What they didn't know was that as they were speaking, twenty kilometers away from them, on four light cruisers in the Austro-Hungarian light fleet, groups of people wearing Austro-Hungarian navy uniforms were busy and busy.
You will find several faces of yellow people here, and in front of them are huge torpedo launch tubes, unprecedentedly huge, and their caliber is far larger than the heaviest 533 torpedoes currently.
This is Yang Feng's gift to Emperor Joseph, his replica of the World War II Japanese spear oxygen torpedo.
He must defend the Strait of Otranto. Before the Ottoman Empire entered the war, this was the most important trade line. In order to gain a steady stream of war wealth in the future, this guy was spending a lot of money. It was impossible for him to replicate such a torpedo.
Any technical issues, the technical level of this thing itself is not high. The reason why the Japanese were able to make it is just that they happened to solve the problem of pure oxygen ignition by accident. Except for some key parts, the beautiful avatar made them underwater.
In addition, most of the parts are even produced at the torpedo factory in Fuzhou itself.
This guy made the first batch of twenty, each selling for one ton of gold, and sold them all to the Austrians. Such huge profits were also the reason why he couldn't refuse Archduke Ferdinand's request. After all, they paid a full twenty
tons of gold, as an honest businessman, Emperor Yang still doesn't mind meeting the additional needs of his customers.
Besides, what will happen to the British even if this matter is exposed? Come and bite me if you can! Believe it or not, I will beat you up with the Germans. Of course, if everyone is more mature, this thing cannot be sold to you.
But now, this kind of torpedo must be aimed at the British first. Under the guidance of torpedo engineers from China, the huge torpedo launcher on one of the cruisers was directly pointed at the battleship Prince of Wales in the British fleet. The four ships combined forces
After the stage stopped, a huge window was left for its launch. The latest battleship, which was diagonally inserted from the front, was as eye-catching as a huge target.
After adjusting all the parameters, Lin Jiasheng, a torpedo engineer from China, nodded slightly to the Austrian sailor who was looking at him. The sailor immediately pulled the launch wrench, and the nearly three-ton torpedo flew out from the front end in an instant. At this moment
Lin Jiasheng held his breath. He naturally knew the dangers of this kind of torpedo, but he soon relaxed because the torpedo had already ignited under the water and started to move forward at high speed. As long as it ignites and does not explode, then
The torpedo will no longer explode until it hits the target.
The oxygen torpedo with a diameter of 610 millimeters was like a ghost underwater, leaving no traces and racing at a high speed of more than 50 knots. At this time, its target was not aware of it at all, and both parties seemed to have a tacit understanding towards a predetermined target.
The intersection points are moving forward separately.
At the same time that Lin Jiasheng was launching torpedoes, another cruiser also safely launched a torpedo, targeting the Queen which was following the Prince of Wales.
The battle at sea became more intense. As the distance got closer, the hit rate of the joint force-class 356 cannons soared. The huge cannonballs opened wounds on the British and French warships like huge axes, and the same British and French
The 305 main guns on the battleship also began to pose a real threat to the combined force class. In addition to the main armor belt, some thinner armored positions were penetrated. In the huge explosion, the steel fragments were scattered with the light of fire.
However, at this time, the sailors on both sides became bloody and fought crazily in blood and fire.
Although the distance of twenty kilometers was actually relatively shortened because the British battleship was moving forward in a diagonal line, the fifty-knot torpedo also had to run for more than ten minutes. During this time, it was very difficult for Lin Jiasheng and the Austro-Hungarian troops around him.
For naval soldiers, it was an extremely long time. Their eyes kept alternating between the pocket watch in their hands and the warships on the sea.
"It's time." Lin Jiasheng said suddenly.
"Why didn't it explode?" said an Austro-Hungarian officer next to him. As soon as he said this, he saw a flame suddenly arching up from the waterline of the Prince of Wales. At the same time, this giant ship of more than 20,000 tons looked like a toy.
