"On February 5, 1881, I saw the Korean envoy as Concubine Min, the concubine of the King of Joseon...... During the conversation, the two sides were quite harmonious...... However, when the topic involved sending troops to Korea to fight the Japanese army, Concubine Min boldly approached the saint and lifted her blouse, exposing her breasts...... The saint is benevolent and can't bear to catch a cold...... The Holy One insisted on keeping the bottom line......"

Li Mengyang is now the emperor of the Pacific Rim Federation, and he is already a saint, so his words and deeds will be recorded.

This rule is really called a long-standing one, Li Mengyang originally wanted to remove such a person, but everyone below was against it.

Hey, it's amazing to have such a person staring at you......

However, Li Mengyang must swear to the sky, to his four wives who are thousands of miles away.

We really kept the bottom line!

He Li Mengyang really didn't expect that Concubine Min to be so bold and dare to do this, but to be honest, he has been in the deep palace for so long......

Li Mengyang swore to the sky and swore to his four wives that he really didn't do anything to be sorry for them!

Mainly because, isn't that guy Xiao Shanzi in this palace, hey, as a father, can't he mess up the court, right?

Well, a lot of unspeakable secrets, mainly because I am afraid that it will be difficult to explain to my wives in the future, but now, this Concubine Min ...... To tell the truth, the length is quite ordinary, but those two big steamed buns are really not small, and they are dough.

Ahem...... Although Li Mengyang has kept the bottom line, but Concubine Min is so urgent, so this is the problem of fighting North Korea. You have to think about it, too. So. What should I do?

"Your Majesty! You let me go! Look at me, I can be regarded as a leader of soldiers and a war, and I am much stronger than those guys in the court. I estimate that I want to fight the Japanese soldiers in Korea, so I have to have a good relationship with the Korean locals, and if you look at the map, there are mountain roads, so this soldier doesn't need too much. There are 10,000 or 20,000 people......"

At this time, in the Taihe Palace, it was no one else who was talking in front of Li Mengyang, it was Yuan Shikai, the big head of Yuan!

How did you remember this guy coming?

Li Mengyang remembers it very clearly, this Yuan Shikai seems to have risen in North Korea, maybe this guy is really a good hand at fighting North Korea, but this guy is so young.

Yuan Shikai is really twenty years old now, and he really has the temperament of a child, but when he thinks about it, this guy has also commanded an army of 300,000 before. It seems that this thing is also relatively reliable.

"Are you sure?" Li Mengyang still has to ask.

"Your Majesty! I am absolutely sure, but I have heard that the Japanese army is a kind of group charge tactics. So as long as we fight well, there is still a chance in this battle. ”

Don't say it, this Yuan Shikai has a certain amount of research on the Japanese army, yes, it was too miserable in the previous Shanhaiguan.

The Japanese army's style of play is simply too bizarre, it is completely filled with human lives, and it doesn't care about the life or death of those soldiers, so it seems that fighting with such an opponent, as long as the defense is excellent, the weapons are excellent, and the firepower is fierce enough, it should be fine.

But Li Mengyang knows that little Japan is not a fool, they will slowly find out the experience, and if people die a lot, then they will learn everything.

"Okay, you go and try it, and the newly formed First Army of China will be handed over to you." Li Mengyang simply waved his hand.

The new Chinese First Army, this name...... Needless to say, the first and second are all from Li Mengyang, which is convenient...... This army is mainly the militia plus the underground cadres of the Civic Party in the capital, who were trained by Li Mengyang before.

It should be said that there are a lot of troops in all parts of the country now, more than 1 million, but it is too late to reorganize, and the number of the troops is temporary.

There's no way, the whole country was in chaos before, and now it's just a little better, that's all.

Then, this matter on land is almost done, that is, let Yuan Shikai do it, and he Li Mengyang continues to preside over the market reopening work in the Greater China region in the deep palace, and now it is time to invest in large-scale industrial projects.

For this large-scale industrial investment, for now, the first step is, of course, to build a steel plant, if you want to talk about this steel, we can still do it in China, and there are still a lot of coal and iron ores. And now, with the technology of the United States, it is basically the same to directly transport some equipment funds and funds.

It's easy to say, but it's not easy to really do it, the personnel are trained, the place has to be chosen, and some things have to be established, anyway, it's really complicated.

But however, there was also an incident that particularly surprised Li Mengyang......

In April 1881, a fleet of plaster flags sailed neatly on the endless sea.

"Togo-kun! What do you say about our military luck on this trip?? ”

"Ito-kun! I think we will rely on the divine power of His Majesty the Emperor to complete this mission! ”

"Exactly! This time, we will advance to Honolulu, and we must be unaware! ”

"That's right! Haha......"

Dongxiang? Ito?

The two people who spoke on the ship were both military ranks of Osa, but as of the end of the day, they were both from the Japanese Navy, that is, people from the Satsuma Domain from Kagoshima, and they were Ito Yuhiro and Togo Heihachiro!

Honolulu?!

Exactly, the fleet led by these two guys, with a total of 20 ships, was approaching Honolulu at this time, and the purpose of their visit was ......

"That's ridiculous! What Federation? Do you think of our Great Japanese Empire? ”

"Exactly! They are simply too arrogant, especially the emperor named Li Mengyang! ”

To be honest, Li Mengyang really didn't know how to offend these two.

But however, on the island of Japan now, they are basically crazy, and it is difficult to reason, and what are these two doing now?

"The previous Choshu people behaved so badly! We in the Satsuma Domain must teach that empire a good lesson! ”

"That's right! Those stupid people in Changzhou are so stupid. And we, the Satsuma Domain, will occupy the entire Pacific Ocean! ”

Is it actually here for revenge? And what about their strength?

Just look at the situation of the battleship as a whole. The main warships of this fleet are still iron-clad. It's not a complete ironclad ship, but now on the side of the Pacific Rim Federation, if it's the United States, it's already a navy of ironclads, so what is this battle?

Even if Ito Yuhiro and Togo Heihachiro are at some level, but with such a big gap in strength, how can it be smoothed out?

"That's it! Almost! ”

"That's right! It's time for a secret weapon! ”

The secret weapon?

I saw the Japanese fleet, and some of their ships had something behind them. It's connected by a cable...... Or a boat!

It's just that this ship is different, this ship is all ironclad, and the appearance is also very special, as if it ......

Like a submarine!

Really, if Li Mengyang was here, he would definitely see that these guys should be submarines, but these submarines are a little small, and they can be said to be very small!

Almost the largest, that is, about 10 meters long. That's it, so what exactly is such a submarine for?

"Sudden death Kiki!"

I only listened to Ito Yuhiro's order. His secret weapon, almost 8 submarines, went out at once!

The 10-meter-long submarine was released directly, and as for their destination, it was probably Honolulu, but this distance was a bit far.

It's almost 100 nautical miles, but you really don't have to say, these submarines can really dive when they get into the water, but in terms of speed, in terms of power.

Whew! Whew!

The submarine was full of panting sounds, what was this doing?

Pedaling!

That's the power of these submarines, which is to give people the power to move forward as if they were pedaling on three wheels.

In fact, submarines in this era are still relatively high-tech, which is really a top-notch thing, but not many people have seen submarines.

And the first time in the world that submarines were used in warfare, that was the American Civil War, there was such a submarine in the South, but it sank underwater with the ships of other opponents.

This is the only example of submarine warfare so far, and this thing is like that now, but the information about this submarine is still here.

By the way, the United States has relevant information, and Japan's ......

Sheng Haizhou didn't study in the United States, he just got the information about this submarine by accident, but later, when Li Mengyang came to power, this thing became a secret.

Then it doesn't matter if it's confidential, I've seen it anyway, but it's just ...... It's not easy to do.

However, the luck of the Japanese is really good now, and the information on the American side is not complete, but the information in some places is quite good!

There was a man named Chen Daoyuan in the former Qing Dynasty, and he drew a picture, which was the conceptual drawing of the submarine, but however, this thing was not built!

It's too late, the whole country was making trouble before, constitutional reform or something, and then Li Mengyang entered the Forbidden City, so this picture is completely meaningless, and it was seen by a few Japanese lurking in China.

This thing is good!

At first glance, the Japanese thought that it was a strange thing, and they ransomed it from the pawnshop at a very cheap price.

Well, because Daoist Chen's life is really bad, he can be a pawn.

As a result, this submarine data of the United States has come across the submarine data of the former Qing Dynasty, which is really a combination of things and things!

It's out, Japan's steel production at this time is the first in Asia, although the number is not large, but you can also build this submarine, this thing is really not that big, and the current submarine itself is actually propelled by manpower.

Little Japan doesn't care about people, how many people in it suffer, whatever, so this is such a time, it looks like an ant shaking an elephant, Ito Yuhiro and Togo Heihachiro are going to sneak attack Hunululu!

Thundered! Thundered!

On April 21, 1881, there was a loud bang in Honolulu's harbor! (To be continued.) )

PS: Thank you, Brother Feng! Thank you!

What's that, the shielded chapter of the black car has also been released, hehehehe
