The sun had risen, and the creek in the distance of the trees was flowing euphemistically, and the tranquil and desolate water reflected a deep rosy reflection, which could be seen clearly and seemed very close through the telescope, as if the river was within five paces, and on the other side of the river, where the morning sun was rising, there were still some dark forests that made people feel desolate, mysterious, and vibrant, but no one knew what was there.

When Major Qi Xiaomao looked around with binoculars, several other members of the team were pumping fuel and refueling, and if the plane's fuel tank was filled up according to the previous plan, then these fuels, which could fly for three hours, could be sent directly to Shenyang. It will be a very neat rescue operation, and everyone in Group A will be awarded the Double Dragon Medal.

"It's almost impossible to be bold." The military doctor in the group pulled Qi Xiaomao aside, and then whispered.

"Why can't it be done, didn't it hurt the vital point?" Qi Xiaomao looked at Liu Daring who was leaning on the birch tree in the distance and half-lying on the grass, he was very surprised, when he took off, he remembered that Liu Daring jumped into the back seat of the plane with an injury, why can't he do it now.

"The bullet hit the blood vessel, bleeding nonstop, and although it pressed the wound before the boldness, it still couldn't stop." The military doctor had just thoroughly examined the wound, but what he could do was very limited, and he didn't even take the bullet - the bullet was stuck in the blood vessel, and he didn't dare to move at all, and once he did, the blood in the blood vein would spurt out.

"What then?" Qi Xiaomao felt that the military doctor pulled himself aside to discuss, and there was always a way to do it.

"Send them to a regiment-level hospital immediately, preferably a division-level hospital, so that they can save people." The military doctor casually glanced at the plane that was refueling, and then looked at Qi Xiaomao's eyes. Some anticipation.

"It can't be done." Qi Xiaomao had already understood what he meant at this time, and he was conflicted in his heart. It was immediately vetoed. After he finished speaking, he walked quickly to the birch tree, leaned down and grabbed his hand and shouted: "Bold ......", but Liu Daring was in a state of confusion. There was no response, and his ribs had just been replaced with a hemostatic cotton, which was as white as his face.

"What's wrong, are you seriously injured?" Sheng Gang, the deputy group, also followed, and he asked the military doctor who was standing behind Qi Xiaomao.

"Hmm." The medic didn't speak.

"Hey......" Sheng Gang sighed, then shook his head and walked away. The operation was already extremely dangerous, and the casualties were expected, but a brother died in front of his eyes, and he couldn't bear to look at it.

The plane was started again. Li Xi, who put on the flying cap again, seemed to have no imperial majesty, but he was smiling at this time, maybe he would be able to set foot on the homeland of the Ming Dynasty in an hour. However, when the plane was about to leave the ground, the engine suddenly stopped, the nose sank, and it slid far to the end of the open field.

"What's wrong?" Mechanic Zhang Liangzong sprinted over and shouted, he had completely checked the plane before, and now the engine was spinning but not turning. He's weird.

"Go back with someone else." Qi Xiaomao stood up from the cockpit and jumped off the plane under the eyes of Li Xi and the others.

"Your Majesty, the order given to me is to escort your Majesty back to China safely. I could have used an airplane, but my subordinates needed to use it. If his injuries are delayed for too long, then they will be irreparable. Qi Xiaomao looked at Li Xi and said calmly, he could not care about it in order to complete the task. But that doesn't mean he can disregard human life when there are other ways to get the job done.

Li Xi originally thought that the plane was malfunctioning. But he didn't want to give up his place to a wounded man. If the other party is the emperor's ancestor, it would be fine, but now this person looks like an ordinary soldier. So Qi Xiaomao's request made him tremble on the spot.

"Please rest assured, the seven of us will be able to escort Your Majesty to Liaodong safely." Qi Xiaomao looked at Li Ximu and was stunned, thinking that he was worried about his life.

"That is, if the Japanese dare to stop us, then they want him to look good." Qian Zusheng, an ordinary fireman, said. He was carrying a Makqin machine gun, as strong as a bear, and he showed his silver teeth while looking at Li Xi with a smile.

Ten minutes later, Liu Daring was sent away by the plane, while Li Xi was left behind, and his flight suit was taken off. After the plane was pushed into the woods and loaded with timed explosives, eight people, including Li Xi, headed north, led by Qi Xiaomao, who would have to walk for several days to reach Anton, during which time they were likely to encounter the rout of the little Japanese, and considering the oil bottles in their sixties, it was really a difficult task to complete.

Qi Xiaomao thought that there was a long way to go, but his behavior of pulling Li Xi off the plane caused a burst of chickens and dogs within the intelligence bureau, because the remnants of the Japanese army in Andong and Ji'an would retreat to Pyongyang, and if the two groups really met, then Li Xi was likely to die in battle. At noon, Group A, who had finally found Gao Shan, finally got in touch with the Northeast Theater, and Qi Xiaomao's telegram of applying for plane rescue was scolded by Zhang Shi so bloody, but the scolding was scolded, and people still had to be saved, and after the coordinates were demarcated, the Fuxing Army of the regiment that crossed the Yalu River and was closest to him would rush to the destination for rescue, and Anton would speed up the work of leveling the airport in order to rescue Group A by air.

When the final news of the rescue operation reached Yin'an Palace, it was already night, and Yang Rui did not blame Zhang Shi after his report, but said after taking steps in Yin'an Palace: "Let's prepare the airship, I will go to Anton with Li Xiangjiao to meet His Royal Highness Li Xi." ”

"What!" Zhang Shi was surprised, and Xu Jingxi was also surprised by this: "Sir, Anton is still in the war zone, and now those remnants of the Japanese army are still in Phoenix, and they may have to break through at night, so it's not safe to go!" ”

"What's not safe about this, several divisions of the 7th Army are in Andong, and I'm afraid that Uncle Li won't be able to hold it?" Yang Rui was very decisive this time, he didn't explain after he finished speaking, and directly bought Li Zilong and said: "Reserve boat, we will leave overnight, and we can go back to Beijing tomorrow and the day after tomorrow." ”

Yang Rui insisted, Li Zilong hesitated and then thought of another thing, and happily arranged to go, but was informed by phone that the prime minister would go to Anton overnight Xie Jintai was very puzzled, Yang Rui is the prime minister of a country, and ran to Anton to meet North Korea Gaozong, which sounds very reasonable, but in fact it is extremely frizzy, this note invited troops to enter the DPRK by North Korea Gaozong just sent a day, other countries, especially Britain What is the attitude is not known, Yang Rui left, no one in the capital made a decision. What if something happens? The more Xie Jintai thought about it, the more wrong it became, and he put on his clothes overnight and rushed to the Yin'an Palace. Yang Rui had already left the city and went to Nanyuan Airport.

It's nine o'clock in the night. Yang Rui had already taken Li Xiangyu and others on the airship. Li Xiangwei didn't sleep well yesterday, and he cried a few times during the day today, and his energy was already very poor, but when he heard that he was going to Anton to pick up Gaozong, he looked very excited under the excitement, in his opinion, if he really wanted to receive Gaozong, then his restoration of the country would be complete.

"How are Lord Li and Lord Xie talking, there are no differences between the two sides, right?" looked at Lee Sang-tso, whose eyes were brighter than the lights in the boat. Yang Rui felt that he had to communicate with him thoroughly, and this person's influence in North Korea was extremely amazing.

"Back to the Prime Minister, the mother country is loved, and the minister will never forget." Li Xiangwei was very formal to Yang Rui, and Yang Rui did not avoid it, so he accepted it directly, "The other ministers understand the reason, but although Lord Xie has many explanations in the case of land reform, the ministers are stupid." Still still don't know. ”

"Land reform is just about stabilizing people's hearts and sorting out taxes. Master Li, you are proficient in Sinology, don't you know how China is ruled now? Yang Rui looked at him and smiled.

"Domination?" Li Xiangxuan was inexplicable. He has been concerned about the restoration of the country in recent years, and has never thought about how to govern the country, or in his opinion. Since the country has been restored, can't it be governed according to the original system?

"Master Li. Do you know, as long as it's a peninsular country. The fortunes of the country are not very good. North Korea has been stable for thousands of years, because the sea power has not yet risen, but in the past 100 years, the concept of the supremacy of sea power has become more and more deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, which means that the struggle between the sea power country and the land power country will become more and more intense. During the First Sino-Japanese War, the Manchus and Japan seized Korea, and the Russo-Japanese War was Japan and Russia robbed Korea, but the battlefield was not in Korea, it took place on the Liaodong Peninsula, not the Korean Peninsula, but once the Japanese army was defeated and retreated into Korea, the war would also take place in Korea. Yang Rui looked at the frightened Li Xiangyun and smiled secretly, he just wanted to make the North Koreans have a sense of crisis.

"If you don't look at East Asia, just look at Europe. Why did the war in Europe start? Or to seize the Balkans, and before this war, there were many wars in the Balkans, everyone wanted to rob this place, Ottoman Turkey was fine when it was strong, now he is weakened, and the Bal is constantly at war. It can be seen from this that as long as it is a peninsular country, its fate will be more unfortunate than that of ordinary countries. The weakening of China is the beginning of the turmoil in Korea, and although China is now rejuvenating, Japan, a bad neighbor, is too close, and there are too many powerful countries on the sea, and although Korea will not be destroyed again, war is unavoidable. ”

Li Xiangjun has never considered the disasters faced by North Korea in recent decades from the geographical location of North Korea, and now after being awakened by Yang Rui, he suddenly understood that this was the prime minister teaching himself, and he said respectfully at the moment: "Please also give me advice." ”

"This is not advice, this is to explain why land reform is needed." Yang Rui said, "The current society is no longer the era when the imperial power did not go to the countryside, or even the missionaries have gone down to the townships, and the government power organization must also go down to the grassroots level, otherwise the country will be unstable, and it will not be able to collect taxes." Once the tax cannot be collected, the top will think about raising the tax, and the bottom, in the name of raising taxes from above, will continue to fill the private pockets, making the grassroots even more unstable.

If the people are miserable and the bad history is rampant, there will definitely be people who want to rebel, and of course these people will not say that they are doing it for personal gain, but will use the banner of democracy to deceive uninformed scholars and the masses who cannot survive and do not know the truth to rebel together. The land reform is to prevent this, and the power of the gentry in the villages must also be restricted, and the orders of the central government must be able to directly penetrate the townships, towns, and villages, otherwise the DPRK will still not be able to stand on its own feet if it continues according to the old way. ”

"Your Excellency, if you want to limit the power of the gentry, the gentry will definitely oppose it." Li Xiangwei somewhat understood what Yang Rui meant, but he couldn't imagine that the regime would go deep into the township. "Since the evil history is an evil official, then they should be restricted from going to the countryside, during the Ming Dynasty, except for the autumn tax and spring tax, this official was not allowed to go to the countryside."

Hearing Li Xiangwei say about the former Ming Dynasty, Yang Rui laughed and said, "The things of the former Ming Dynasty have been hundreds of years ago, and China seems to follow the Ming system, but in fact, it is a commercial system. ”

"Commercial?" Li Xiangwei looked at Yang Rui suspiciously, China has always been based on Zhou, but now......

"That's right, business." Yang Rui is not joking at all, "Westerners say that China has a parliamentary system, but its implementation is the Shang Dynasty's suspicious system. Now that the country has not been established for a long time, the etiquette and religion have not been completely abandoned, and Confucius and Mencius are still respected. But in time, fifty years and a hundred years from now. These things will be completely abandoned by the government. In my opinion, Yin Shang is the right trace. Zhou Du came out of the western soil, originally an outsider, for thousands of years to change the summer, one day it will return to the original. ”

Li Xiangwei looked at Yang Rui in disbelief, is this the logic of Chinese governance? If this is the case, then how can the imperial power be maintained? His face was blue and white for a while, and he wanted to refute Yang Rui's remarks, but at this time, he asked China for help, and it was difficult to refute it.

Yang Rui didn't care what Li Xiangyu thought. He said: "North Korea must first stabilize the situation from the land, and deepen the authority of the central government to the grassroots, and if the gentry want to oppose it, then kill it." When the Japanese ruled, they were so cooperative, not all of them were traitors, and half of them were traitors. Taking advantage of the general trend of restoring the country, the forces that are not conducive to the central government must be eradicated. Only then can the country be truly stable, and only then can the army, the legal system, finance, and customs be completely established.

Master Li, in fact, objectively speaking. Because of Japan's annexation, objectively speaking, the environment after the restoration of Korea was better than that of China, and it did not have any unequal treaties. This country is brand new, in such a new country. It is very easy to build, and the annual tax after the land reform will be able to meet the investment ...... in railways, education, and industry across the country."

Yang Rui is talking eloquently. Li Xiangwei was terrified when he heard it, and he understood Yang Rui's kindness, this gentleman really wanted to be good for North Korea, but what would His Majesty Gaozong think? The constitutional monarchy would have weakened the imperial power, and now it is necessary to abolish the Zhou system and promote the commercial system, which makes Gaozong how to accept it.

Not long after Yang Rui and Li Xiangwei talked, Li Zilong sent a telegram here, and the aircraft carrier formation had already rendezvous with the submarine formation at night, which means that the entire formation had escaped from danger, and Yang Rui's heart was completely relieved after receiving this telegram. Now the aircraft carrier is just a real ship, the use of experience, tactical training, aircraft performance are very weak, plus secrecy, he did not agree with Deng Zilong to participate in the war, but the situation at that time was like this, if he did not participate in the war, the cruiser fleet was very likely to be completely destroyed, these thousand people are the essence of the navy, if it is really dead, then the navy will really have to be rebuilt.

The future era is the era of aircraft carriers, but it will take more than 20 years for aircraft carriers to truly develop and develop, technically speaking. Now the torpedo machine can sink a warship, mainly because the enemy's air defense capability is weak, or more precisely, it is not a single machine gun on many warships, and once it encounters a torpedo machine, it can only be beaten. When the Japanese react, the warships will definitely be equipped with dense machine guns and machine guns, and then the situation will be different, and a torpedo plane that is 150 kilometers away and must be carefully dropped below 15 meters within 1,000 meters will be the best target for the warship's anti-aircraft fire

This is the result of the research of the tactical department of the General Staff Department, and this result is completely different from Yang Rui's previous hearsay that the failure of the early aircraft carrier was due to the fact that the torpedo planes were too slow to catch up with the surface warships. Now the fastest speed of warships is 50 kilometers, and torpedo planes are 150 kilometers, so how can they not catch up with surface ships? In the final analysis, the anti-aircraft fire was too fierce, and the torpedo planes would only be used as targets if they flew too slowly.

The real technological breakthrough of aircraft carriers lies in the improvement of torpedo delivery conditions and the increase in the bomb load of dive bombers. In the former, if the torpedo can be dropped at a speed of more than 150 kilometers and at an altitude of more than 15 meters, then the factor of the torpedo machine will be weakened; In the latter, if a dive bomber can carry a thousand kilograms of bombs, then the damage to the warship will be fatal, and it is impossible for any warship to lay too thick horizontal armor, and this bomb weighing 1,000 kilograms will penetrate the horizontal surface and explode in the depths of the warship, causing astonishing damage.

Yang Rui couldn't sleep thinking about aircraft carrier technology on the airship, and the Japanese couldn't sleep at all because of the current war situation. The siege of the Shina dispatch army, the occupation of Taiwan, the occupation of Andong, the liberation of Gojong, and the announcement of the Shina government that it would send troops to recover the Korean ......, any news spread would cause the people to protest frantically, but because the news of the war situation in Shina has been blocked, Katsura Taro has not yet collapsed like last time. The situation is so weird, but Katsura Taro himself knows that the reason why he has not fallen now is because the big man above needs someone to solve this qiē trouble, or rather, to take this responsibility.

He was unfortunate to be chosen as the one who carried the black cauldron. It is true that he was a hostile government to China, and he supported the use of troops against China during the Xinhai period, but who ordered the start of the war this time without preparation?

In fact, according to Katsura Taro's meaning, the war finally began at the time of the autumn harvest, and at that time, the Shina army could not do the current Cheng dù Qingbi Jianye. The Gyeonggi offensive will not be affected by the rainy season for a month, even if it cannot take Beijing. Now it should also hit Tongzhou. However, it is too late to say this qiē. The battle situation has become a fixed situation, and the people of China have simply set a trap, bent on introducing the emperor ** into Zhili, and then blockading the Bohai Sea at a critical moment and cutting off logistics.

Once the Zhili Dispatch Army is annihilated, Japan will have no second army to defend Korea and fight for Taiwan, and even when the China Army occupies Busan, the mainland will be in danger......

In the Kasumigaseki Official Office, a cabinet meeting convened by Katsura Taro is underway. But everyone present was silent, defeated, and no one discussed the problem, because no one knew how to discuss it.

With scarlet eyes open, Katsura Taro glanced at everyone present, and finally fixed his eyes on Foreign Minister Takaaki Kato, and he said, "Kato-kun, hasn't Britain replied to us yet?" The people of China have already announced this afternoon that they are going to march into Korea, which is already a direct violation of the territory of the empire. Is Britain really going to fail to fulfill the Entente? ”

"Your Excellency, the United Kingdom has already launched a blockade of the Taiwan Strait in accordance with the agreement, so it cannot be said that they have breached the contract." Takaaki Kato was previously ambassador to the UK. Thinking about the problem is just standing on the side of Zhongyun.

With a 'bang', Katsura Taro slapped the dwarf, and he said loudly: "The British just sent a former dreadnought and a destroyer. What the hell are they doing? The Reich does not want a navy, it now wants the diplomatic support of Britain. We want British Army soldiers to fight alongside us! ”

"Your Excellency, this is impossible. Britain is now busy with the war in Europe. Not to mention the Army, even the Royal Navy had to do their best to annihilate the German Navy, and it was simply impossible for them to put aside the war in Europe and come to the Far East to interfere in the war between us and the Chinese people. Takaaki Kato looked at Katsura Takura, who had lost his mind, and tried his best to defend himself. The Imperial Army has been besieged by the Chinese and is likely to be completely annihilated, and in this irretrievable situation, Britain has no possibility of sending troops except to support us in making peace with China. ”

"If the army is completely destroyed, it is also the responsibility of the navy." War Minister Kigoshi Antsuna, who had been silent, looked at the Navy Minister Yashiro Rokuro sitting opposite, and it was completely the Navy's fault that the Army would be in such a situation.

"Even the Royal Navy had nothing to do with the submarines of the Germans. The navy had warned before that the Gyeonggi offensive must be resolved quickly, otherwise the navy would not be able to stop the submarine coming again. Yashiro Rokuro remained silent, but he pushed the responsibility of one qiē away, which made Kigoshi Angang's teeth itch very much.

If the two ministers of the sea and land had quarreled before, Katsura Taro would have stopped drinking, but now he is no longer in that mood, and at this time he is only thinking about the possibility of making peace with Shina and the price he needs to pay.

"Garten-kun, what conditions will the people put forward if they make peace?" Katsura Taro asked, and with his question, War Minister Kigoshi Yasuna immediately fell silent.

"The people of China have occupied Taiwan and are about to occupy North Korea, although Lushun is not in their hands now, but if the Bohai Sea cannot break the blockade, then the fall of Lushun is a certain ......" Kato Takaaki guessed the benefits that China can obtain now, counting them one by one, but this obviously made the Minister of War Kigoshi Yasuna very unhappy, and he shouted: "Yaga! The Imperial Army's exchange of hundreds of thousands of living beings for Lushun must not be exchanged for China! ”

The thoughts of the Minister of War were the thoughts of all the ministers present, and he said that Kato Takaaki was very helpless and said: "Since these places will be occupied by the Shina army, then when the peace is negotiated, these things will be demanded by the Shina people, and the things that the Shina people should have obtained in exchange for some other guarantees of power, is it not better than losing all of these?" ”

"Kato-kun, can the southern part of Korea be saved?" Katsura Taro asked, he didn't dare to ask for anything more.

"...... in the south of Korea" Kato Takaaki thought about the possibility of making peace with China and the conditions of the other party, he shook his head and said: "Even if it can be kept, it will be to return the ruling power to North Korea itself, and the best result for North Korea is to become the sphere of influence of China and Japan, with China's power in the north and our power in the south." But this requires a more costly price in other areas, such as reparations. ”

"Reparations?" Many of the ministers present here were very unaccustomed to reading this word, because it has always been the case that other countries have paid reparations to Japan, and it is absolutely unacceptable for anyone to think that Japan would also pay reparations to other countries, especially to China. (To be continued......)
