After Emperor Yang's armistice conditions were reported back to Europe, the entire British Parliament was angered. Even those members who were originally supported by the secret funds of Yang's consortium did not expect that this guy was so greedy. This was not an armistice, but an attempt to force Britain to death.
, there is no room for agreement at all. If you agree to this condition, Britain will forever be reduced to a third-rate small country. The fight will continue even if another million people die. Britain still has an army of 2.5 million people. Why?
Not fighting? We must continue fighting for the future of the British Empire.＋＋＋＋
Besides, the U.S. and British coalition forces have now reached the outside of Berlin. As long as Germany and Austria can be forced to surrender, the entire Allied group with a total of 10 million troops can escape. Moreover, they also have a powerful fleet. Although it cannot be compared with the Chinese navy,
It is also capable of fighting in the Mediterranean. No matter how strong China is, it is impossible to defeat the entire Entente.
In order to show the outside world that Britain will fight to the end, the British government also ordered the confiscation of all Yang Feng's assets in the UK, including factories, banks, and real estate. Previously, the British had great illusions about Yang Feng.
The assets were only frozen and supervised, not directly confiscated. Of course, this was largely just for show. Everyone knew that once defeated, these would have to be returned tenfold or a hundredfold, but this did make their allies see.
To the British determination.
As for Russia, it made no statement at all after receiving this armistice condition. Not to mention the east of the Volga River, even the east of the Ural River was impossible. The only thing that Nicholas could accept temporarily giving to Yang Feng was the east of Lake Baikal.
Anyway, the best he can do is to wait for ten or twenty years after the truce and then take it back, but if he really cuts off the east of the Volga River, he will never be able to take it back.
In addition, at this time Nicholas was also negotiating with the Socialist-Revolutionaries and the Mensheviks who broke away from the Social Democratic Labor Party, trying to find a political compromise acceptable to both parties, such as a constitutional monarchy that fully meets the standards.
The government, in exchange for these people to stop causing trouble for him, after all, he is not a fool. Now his biggest enemy is no longer these rogue parties. These rogue parties can fool him, but Yang Feng cannot rely on fooling to solve the problem. First,
Stabilize these chaotic parties and work together to block this main enemy. As for the future, this can be discussed.
Besides, he actually understands that it is only a matter of time before a constitutional monarchy is established. This is the trend of the world now. Even Hamid II pretends to be ready to establish a constitutional monarchy to deceive his subjects. If he clings to the absolute monarchy, he will already
There is no way out.
In this way, the first peace effort between the two sides completely failed. Emperor Yang, who had always looked forward to world peace, expressed great regret for this, and expressed serious protest against the confiscation of his property by Britain, Russia and other countries, and then the Chinese Marine Corps
The general attack on Manila began.
During this period of time, the Chinese navy's carrier-based aircraft had almost leveled the city. Coupled with the hot climate, the bodies killed in the streets could not be cleaned up in time. The plague was spreading throughout Manila. Although Suhomli
There are still 60,000 troops in Nov's hands, but in fact, less than 40,000 are able to get up and fight. The rest are lying on the hospital bed, wailing under the torture of various diseases!
The enemy he needs to face is a hundred thousand of China's most elite Marine Corps soldiers. They are equipped with tanks, large-caliber heavy artillery, du gas bombs, flamethrowers... and a lot more that he has never heard of. But they are extremely powerful.
Weapons, such as a new type of weapon similar to the Congreve rocket, can fire a bunch of new weapons in an instant. This thing has become a nightmare for the Russian army in recent times. Hundreds of artillery shells can be fired at once in an instant.
The feeling above his head was like hell. Of course, he didn't know it was called a 107mm rocket launcher.
And this thing also has a single-soldier version. A soldier can carry it very covertly and directly to the front of the Russian fortress one or two hundred meters, and then fire the rocket into the firing port of the fortress.
There is also a small-caliber artillery. According to soldiers who have seen this thing, it is like an oversized revolver, and it can also fire shells like a revolver. It is similar to the Hotchkiss rotating gun, but this thing is
You can just carry it alone. The frontline Russian machine gunners and grenade launchers absolutely hate this thing, especially the latter. This enhanced version of the long-range grenade seems to be specially used to beat them.
There is also an infantry gun specially designed to deal with fortresses. It is mounted directly on a military truck. It can hit wherever you want. As soon as the truck stops, the shells will fly over in the blink of an eye without any deployment time. It will not leave any time for people to counterattack. Of course, this is not possible.
Importantly, the important thing is that its caliber must be at least one hundred millimeters. Sukhomlinov has been a soldier for decades and has experienced countless wars. This is the first time he knows that heavy artillery can still be used like this. Of course
He didn't know it was called a 105mm recoilless rifle.
Even the most basic weapon like a rifle was unimaginable to him. These Chinese soldiers actually used an automatic rifle that did not need to pull the bolt but only needed to pull the trigger. In front of the soldiers charging with such rifles
, even light machine guns will be suppressed by their crazy rate of fire. He really can't imagine how many new weapons the emperor in Beijing has equipped his army with.
Of course, it is meaningless for him to study this issue now. Facing the general attack of the Chinese Marine Corps, this general, who had no military command ability in the first place, could only hide in his own underground shelter in Fort Santiago and wait hard. And in Manila
The surrounding Russian fortresses, which had been riddled with holes by bombing and shelling that lasted for more than a month, were collapsing in large areas in front of the surging torrent like dams eaten away by termites.
Fortunately, because of the hatred against the Chinese accumulated over the years, the Russian soldiers can still persist in resisting among the ruins. However, compared with their bravery, their commanders do not have the courage to continue fighting. These guys
In the past few years, I have been collaborating with Chinese businessmen, and I have more or less Chinese friends. Therefore, my relationship with the Chinese has always been friendly. In this case, I naturally have many choices.
"General, let's surrender!" In Fort Santiago, which had been almost completely razed, a group of officers surrounded the Governor and begged. Outside the castle, the shouts of Chinese soldiers could be faintly audible, and above the castle, a stream of
The Eagle fighter-bombers were circling, and from time to time one dived down, and then the roar of falling bombs was heard. When the roar ended, a huge and earth-shattering explosion was heard, and even the ground of Fort Santiago was shaking violently.
General Suhomlinov was in a dilemma. Although his reason told him that surrendering at this time was the best choice, and he also knew the treatment of the Russian generals who surrendered. Basically, if they were willing to return to the country, they would be sent back. If they were not willing to return, they would be punished.
Emperor Yang granted Chinese citizenship and then disappeared into the vast sea of China with the property he had collected over the years. Even their relatives would be secretly transferred to China through Sweden. At this point, Emperor Yang can be said to have exempted the surrendering generals.
of all worries.
But as a close confidant who was deeply favored by Emperor Nicholas, he was emotionally unable to forgive himself. After all, His Majesty the Tsar handed over the Philippines to him and handed over such the largest money bag in the Russian Empire to him. This can be said to be a huge favor.
Favored, it stands to reason that he must at least die in battle to repay the emperor's favor. Surrendering would be too much...
Before he could think of words to describe it, a huge roar that could be described as terrifying suddenly came from the sky, as if a train was passing directly by his ears, followed immediately by a huge explosion.
"Chinese battleships!" an army general exclaimed subconsciously.
"No, the 280 naval gun does not have such power, and even the 305 gun does not have such power." A naval general shook his head with certainty, because all the warships of the Russian Far East Fleet had been sunk by carrier-based aircraft.
, so those idle navy soldiers were also incorporated into the army.
As soon as he finished speaking, the terrifying whistling sound above his head sounded again, and then there were sixteen huge explosions in a row. One of the shells landed so close that even the reinforced concrete floor above his head was shaken to the point where cracks appeared.
There were cracks, and falling concrete chips scattered all over Sukhomlinov's head.
"Is it the super cannon used by the Chinese in Vladivostok?" the army general said tremblingly. During this period, the water tank cannon used by the Chinese Army in Vladivostok and Shuangchengzi can be said to have shocked the world. The Germans
The big Bertha can already be said to be shocking. No one expected that Yang Feng actually produced a larger caliber. The 540 cannon is simply unbelievable, especially for the Russians. Until now, Ah
Alexeiev was still suffering the ravages of this huge cannon in Vladivostok.
"Idiot, can army artillery be fired from the sea? Go out and take a look!" Suhomlinov shouted sullenly. He was really speechless by the IQ of his cronies. This roaring sound obviously came from Manila in the west.
It came from the Bay, but now his shelter is almost cut off from the outside world. If you want to know what it is, you can only go out and take a look.
The unlucky lieutenant general reluctantly got out of the basement, and then got out of the first-floor basement, which had been half blown down. He lay on the ruins of the former Governor's Palace on the upper floor and looked to the west. He saw more than 20 people.
Kilometers away, on the sea in the center of Manila Bay, two giant warships that had never been seen before were parked there. Sixteen large-diameter naval guns were spraying long streams of flames in the direction of Fort Santiago, and the shells were dragged one after another.
With a terrifying whistling sound, it fell from the sky at a large angle, and plumes of smoke from the explosion rose up from the ruined castle. The blown-up buildings and human remains were scattered in the firelight.
Emperor Yang's super battleship has appeared. (To be continued, please search Piaotian Literature, the novel is better and updated faster!
