This was the first battle fought by the peacekeepers in Russia, and the newspapers in Japan gave a great deal of propaganda that the imperial army had won a beautiful battle to maintain peace. They have always emphasized the fortification of the Russian fortress in their propaganda, and even photographed many Russian defenses inside the fortress, proving that this place is really easy to defend and difficult to attack.

So why did Japan not fight for half a year during the Russo-Japanese War, but this time the battle ended in a few hours? After analyzing it for itself, the conclusion is that the Japanese army has been greatly strengthened in strategy and tactics during this period, and its weapons and equipment have been completely updated, and it is in the leading ranks of the world's leading circles.

They said that the Imperial Japanese Army was already a first-class unit in the world, so it was able to fight so easily. Many mainstream Japanese media chose to ignore the reality that there were only 300 or so Russian soldiers in the Russian fortress who spontaneously organized resistance.

The great power plot of the Japanese has risen to a point where they are about to explode when Indonesia is taken into their arms, and they think they are strong, so they want others to recognize their strength. But China's performance last year was indeed very outstanding, and in the Sino-Japanese War, Yang Dagui buried hundreds of thousands of Japanese troops in the northeast, so even though their navy is now known as the third in the world, close to Britain and Germany, but the army has always been pressed by China to raise its head.

If they want others to recognize that they are the hegemon of Asia, little Japan needs a stage to perform their army, which is why the Japanese do not ask Britain and France for a penny of aid this time, they just want everyone to see that the Chinese can defeat the Russians, and so can our Imperial Japanese Army, and they desperately hope that the Japanese troops will perform better in this operation, better than the Chinese troops.

It can be said that this propaganda in Japan has won a round of applause at home, making the prestige of their emperor even more prosperous, and the government has indeed won the approval of the people. The rank-and-file officers, who had previously been somewhat dissatisfied with the government, are now at peace.

Britain, France, and other countries immediately sent congratulatory telegrams to congratulate the Japanese army on its victory, and hoped that the Japanese army would make persistent efforts to calm the situation in the east of Russia as soon as possible, and rush to join up with the peacekeeping forces of various countries to undertake more important tasks.

Only China did not congratulate them on their victory, and the friendship between the Chinese and the Japanese was obviously very weak, and the Chinese newspapers not only disdained the Japanese victory, but even reminded the Japanese army very carefully. We want the Japanese to remember this international peacekeeping mission, hide their true nature, and refrain from doing anything in Russia that will cause harm to the Russian people.

Little Japan obviously didn't care about the cold water poured by the Chinese, and in their opinion, the Chinese were jealous of being the first battle win by the Japanese army. When Japan controlled most of the Far East, the Chinese army had not yet set off in Beijing, which was a beat slower than Japan in terms of response.

If this peacekeeping is a platform for China and Japan to show their strength, then the Chinese have obviously lost at the start.

After receiving the news that the Russian comrades were gathering in Nelyuengr, the Japanese army of more than 100,000 drove towards Nelyuengri. Japanese Army General Nogi Noshinori said: "Let us use our victory to respond to the doubts of others, and let those who are jealous of us look at our warriors to establish meritorious deeds!" ”

This phrase quickly spread within Japan and among the Japanese army. It became the battle motto of the Imperial Japanese Army on this expedition.

Just as the Japanese did not pay attention to the sarcasm of the Chinese, the Chinese side did not make any further comments on Nogi Noshinori's remarks, and Li Debiao was preparing for the expedition in Beijing. He really tried his best, but there was no way, the team just couldn't set off, and the scheduled departure date was delayed again and again.

You know, they formed an international coalition. This time, almost all the countries that showed their willingness to participate sent soldiers over. People also know that they don't need to fight, and it is enough to resist a battle flag. But this carrying the flag is not the same as carrying the flag, and such an action can really show the military strength of a country.

Great powers like Britain, France, and Germany are relatively formal. The military attache of the embassy led the team, and a little troops were drawn from the colony, and they did it decently. And those small countries don't have this ability, such as the Netherlands, he has no troops in Asia, and the Dutch have a way, they took five Dutchmen from the new factory of Philips in China, put them in military uniforms, and then carry a battle flag, this is our Dutch peacekeeping force.

When the Chinese Foreign Ministry asked the Luxembourg ambassador if he wanted to send troops, the Luxembourg ambassador to China was stunned. Troops? We don't have many troops in our own country. But seeing that other countries have sent troops, then I will send them too. They put up notices on Dongjiaomin Lane to recruit troops. Two people were recruited, and one of them was a Chinese, and then carrying a flag, came.

Don't look at the irregularity of the troops, but when people come with the national flag, you have to give them the respect that a country deserves. Li Debiao thought too simply about this matter, he thought that it would be enough to adopt the same attitude towards the troops of all countries, you have what the British have, you have Luxembourg, I will definitely not bully you and discriminate against you because you pay less or because you have fewer people, he thinks that the gentlemen will not have any opinions in this way.

But when the peacekeepers of these countries arrived, Li Debiao finally realized that Rear Admiral Hamilton had no choice but to wander outside the beach with a huge fleet. These guys are so hard to serve!

Let's talk about the food problem, the British are all their Indian soldiers, and these Asans don't have any special requirements, that is, they don't eat beef, just cook for us and make beef. Li Debiao felt that this matter was quite simple, so he instructed the people who purchased food not to buy beef in the future.

But no sooner had this order been given that the Italians began to make trouble the next day. The Italians said that we can't do without beef, we must eat steak, and if you don't give us steak to eat, we will protest every day and report to you Commander Yang every day.

Moreover, the Italian major also expressed strong dissatisfaction with the Chinese marching arrangement, believing that the Chinese side had deprived them of the right to drink afternoon tea.

Li Debiao really wanted to say to them that if you love to come, you can't come and get out, but Italy is not leaving. They must be part of this operation.

And the French are just as difficult to serve, that group of French soldiers is a total of 30 people, and they have changed three sets of clothes in less than a week after coming to Beijing! The French seem to have a soft spot for clothing, and when they see that the collar of the American soldier's clothes is beautiful, they go to change the collar, and when they see that the sleeves of the British soldiers look good, they go to change the sleeves again, and yesterday they asked them if they could go on the expedition, and they actually said that they would have to wait another day, because their custom-made uniforms in a factory in China have not yet been made.

The German soldiers and the British soldiers didn't have so many stories, but the team was dragged and couldn't set off, and there were no stories to tell. Yesterday afternoon, in a bar in the city of Beijing, there was a story of a group fight between German and Austrian soldiers and British and French soldiers, and the whole city of Beijing was in a sensation, and more than 100 people were fighting very vigorously on the street, and the patrol could not be opened.

Li Debiao knew that it was fortunate that Yang Xiaolin was not in Beijing, otherwise he would definitely be kicked in this matter.

In addition, in terms of command, Britain, France, Germany, and Austria all proposed to the Chinese side that their troops should ensure the independence and integrity of the coalition forces. Li Debiao really can't figure it out, there are only dozens of people, what are you independent? I don't bully you.

This peacekeeping operation was an operation in which Yang Xiaolin experimented with his own modern troops, and even Yang Xiaolin himself did not realize that this was also the first time that Chinese troops went abroad to fight, and it was the first military operation in which China played a role in international affairs.

China does not have this experience, and many things cannot be handled well. Chinese are very hospitable, even if they have a deep prejudice against a person, when others come to the house as guests, they have to cook a few dishes to entertain them. The same is true for these foreigners, from the government's point of view it is to meet the requirements of these foreign troops, and the ordinary people on the street are also polite, although some naughty guys often make fun of these foreigners, but there is really no malice.

Take the matter of fighting, if two groups of Chinese fight in the street, no matter what your reason, the patrol will see the stick and go up. But they were always gentle with these foreign soldiers, thinking that they were guests, and the stick was not resolute.

This is not out of fear of foreigners, but the Chinese have always been like this, but those foreigners seem to have misunderstood the reason for the Chinese's tolerance of them, and they are becoming a little more and more presumptuous in Beijing. Li Debiao knew that if he didn't leave, something might really happen.

On 11 January, when the Japanese army had already achieved its first victory in Russia and was about to pick the second fruit, the Chinese peacekeepers set out from Beijing under the forcible order of Commander Li Debiao.

The French were still a little reluctant, because their customized hats had not yet been made, but Li Debiao did not compromise with the French this time, he told those French, you can wait in Beijing, I will go first, follow me You can take the car, if you don't come with me, you can figure it out yourself.

The French gave up, but they went to the garment shop to pay the deposit, and told the Chinese merchant that the hat was ready for them to keep, and that they would come and pick it up when they returned. It is said that when these French people left, the owners of many ready-to-wear stores in Beijing were a little reluctant.

When the Chinese troops stopped in Beijing, the whole world was watching the Japanese perform, but as soon as the Chinese troops came out of Beijing, they drove out of Hebei in just two days, with tens of thousands of troops, more than 100,000 tons of supplies, and the marching speed reached nearly 200 kilometers a day!

This shocked all countries! You must know that the peacekeepers in the peacekeeping force are all military personnel from various countries, and people are knowledgeable, even if the major who led the Italian team is more fond of steak, he also knows what this speed means for an army.

I'm not afraid of not knowing the goods, I'm afraid of comparing the goods, and the results of Little Japan in defeating a fortress of the Russians are a little weaker than the speed of the Chinese troops. (To be continued......)
