When the emperor comes to modern times, history collapses!

Chapter 299: Destroying the Japanese

The news spread throughout Britain like a violent hurricane.

The shock brought by this news was like a landslide, leaving people dumbfounded and in disbelief.

"It's simply unbelievable! How could a corner of Asia that is so poor and backward that it looks like a wilderness have a fleet so powerful that it can defeat our British warships?" Someone shouted with eyes wide open and a look of astonishment on his face.

"I dare say that this must be a ridiculous joke God is playing on us!" Another person shook his head vigorously, unable to accept this fact.

"You know, our British fleet alone can run rampant in the Asian waters, not to mention the fleets formed by several other countries. How could such a powerful force suffer a defeat?" People were talking about it, and their words were full of confusion and doubt about the failure.

"Perhaps they had internal disputes and killed each other, which led to this result." Someone speculated.

"That must be the case. Otherwise, could it be that there was a serious error in our command system that caused us to fire at our own side?" This statement was echoed by many people.

In this era, the giant dragon of the East fell into slumber, while the great powers, taking advantage of the opportunity of the great voyages, achieved rapid development in science and technology and economy, leaving the ancient Eastern powers far behind.

In the eyes of these arrogant sheep people, Asia has become synonymous with backwardness and ignorance.

Therefore, they could not imagine in any way that there would be any force that would dare to challenge or even defeat the Eagle Country's indestructible warships.

At this moment, the atmosphere in the Eagle Country's cabinet meeting room was extremely solemn. All members had grim faces, and a hint of barely perceptible fear lurked deep in their eyes.

With the help of the telegrams they received, they had a clearer picture of the course of the battle.

Their fleet, facing a powerful opponent, had almost no ability to fight back.

Countless ships were destroyed in the battle.

Or be captured by the other side.

Moreover, the opponent has a strange way of fighting.

Will suddenly appear somewhere else.

Difficult to defend.

They also discovered that the other party's technological level was far superior to theirs, which surprised them very much.

According to scientists' speculation, it is at least thirty years ahead.

"What do you think we should do now to deal with this serious situation?" Someone broke the silence and asked this heavy question.

"Revenge! The enemy must pay with blood!" An angry general shouted with gritted teeth, the flame of revenge burning in his eyes and his hatred for the enemy was beyond words.

"We will never allow anyone to dare to challenge the supreme glory of our British Empire!" another fat man with a big belly echoed, clenching his fists, as if ready to engage in a fierce battle at any time.

“If this matter is not handled properly, more people will surely dare to challenge our dominant position, and the remaining forces will probably also harbor evil intentions.” Another person said worriedly, as he was well aware of the series of chain reactions that this matter might trigger.

"In this case, why not gather our warships from all over the world, do our best to deal a fatal blow to the enemy, and make it surrender to us!" Someone proposed a plan that seemed bold but full of determination.

"Yes, we have a complete and advanced industrial system, while the industry there has only just begun and is still in its infancy."

"We can continuously produce new warships. Their industrial base cannot do this. Every loss of a warship is an irreparable blow to them. In this regard, we have an absolute advantage."

"However, we also need to send some excellent spies to investigate where their warships are produced or purchased. We had no intelligence at all before. I have to say, this is a serious mistake."

"It must have been those people who sold it to them. They have been eyeing our dominance and are always thinking about dragging us down and surpassing us."

They all knew that if this incident was not handled properly.

It will cause a series of troubles.

Today's position will be challenged.

Being defeated once means that you are not invincible.

It is possible that more challengers will emerge.

It takes a lot of energy.

There will also be many problems in the controlled areas.

Therefore, they must respond, and they must ensure that the response is forceful, and they cannot pretend that nothing has happened.

The Gallic chickens on the other side are also facing the same situation.

The Gallics found it hard to accept that they would suffer a crushing defeat.

Even when facing John Bull, he had never experienced such a defeat.

Not to mention in places where industry is not yet fully developed.

According to their speculation, let alone building a dreadnought-class battleship that is more advanced than theirs.

Even a battleship that is one generation behind should not appear in that place.

There must be something fishy.

"Someone must have secretly sold the battleship to the other party!" a member said with certainty.

"But who could it be? It can't be John Bull. Even they don't have such advanced battleships." Another person scratched his head and thought hard.

"Could it be that someone has mastered more advanced technology and is developing it secretly?"

"Impossible. Technology is not something that can be developed overnight. It is impossible for our spies to not notice anything."

The Gallic cabinet discussed it for several days but still had no answer.

After all, there are only a few countries that can build battleships.

If we had such technology, we would have become the new overlord long ago.

It is impossible that the current situation will still exist.

Such a big thing must be explained.

The Gallic rooster can only claim it externally.

It was their own fleet that accidentally ran aground, causing the warships to suffer great damage and their weapon systems to be paralyzed. They could only passively take the beating, leading to their crushing defeat.

Otherwise, relying on their strength.

Even if we can't completely annihilate the enemy, it's at least a victory.

As for whether other people believe it or not, they don’t care.

Then he gathered top talents and continued to research, hoping to build a more powerful battleship.

One day I will be able to defeat the other party and clear my name.

Maintain your status.

Daye Li Jing was furious, his eyes wide open like bells, staring at the disgusting, hideous little devil in front of him, his stomach churning, but he still resisted the extreme discomfort and asked coldly: "How do you want to make peace?"

The Japanese envoy Tian Jian had a disgusting, flattering smile on his face, like a pug. He nodded and said, "If your brave and skilled army can show mercy and withdraw from Japan, we will be very happy to pay you a full five million taels of silver as compensation. Moreover, if your army needs it, we can even help you attack the hateful Qing army. I wonder if such generous conditions will satisfy you, General?"

Hearing this, the anger in Li Jing's heart erupted like a volcano. He rushed forward, raised his palm, and fanned at the ugly face in the field like a fallen leaf in the wind.

There was a crisp "pop" sound, and the whole person in the field flew straight out like a kite with a broken string, fell heavily to the ground, and raised a cloud of dust.

Li Jing looked down at the miserable Tian Jian and shouted angrily, "Humph! I didn't expect that although you are ugly, you are thicker than a city wall! Five million taels of silver? Are you sending away beggars? Besides, with your insignificant strength, even if you really follow us to attack the Qing army, you will only become a burden to us!"

Tian Jian, who was beaten dizzy, finally got up from the ground. He didn't bother to wipe the blood from the corner of his mouth, but asked carefully with a smile: "Then... I wonder what conditions can make your army stop attacking Japan? As long as you can tell me, everything can be discussed."

Li Jing crossed his arms, snorted coldly, and answered decisively: "My conditions are actually very simple. That is, you Japanese must choose unconditional surrender without reservation!"

"Surrender without any conditions?"

Tian Jian was stunned when he heard this. He knew that five million taels of silver would not be enough, so he just tried to test the waters. He was waiting for the other party to state his conditions.

I thought the other party might ask for a huge amount of money, but I never expected that the other party would actually ask for the unconditional surrender of the entire Japan.

In an instant, the field was stunned and at a loss.

I never thought that the other party would make such a suggestion.

"What? Can't you even do this? Humph, in fact, I never expected you to surrender obediently from the beginning." Li Jing said nonchalantly.

After hearing this, Tian Jian shook his head excitedly and shouted, "This is absolutely impossible!"

He knew very well that such harsh conditions, regardless of whether he was willing to agree to them or not, even if he really wanted to, such an important decision was not something he could make alone.

"In that case, there is no need for further discussion between us. Let's continue this fierce battle!"

As these words were spoken, the negotiations were completely interrupted.

Tian Jian left the tent with a solemn expression and hurriedly sent an urgent telegram to the cabinet at home, reporting in detail everything that had happened here and discussing countermeasures with them.

In the tent, Zhu Ming leisurely picked up a cup of steaming hot tea, raised the corners of his mouth slightly, and said with a slightly sarcastic smile: "I really didn't expect that these little devils would surrender so soon."

Li Jing stroked his beard and smiled: "Now Japan's naval forces have suffered heavy losses, only one in ten survives, and they have been defeated repeatedly on the ground battlefield. It is not surprising that they choose to surrender."

Zhu Ming nodded in agreement. "I think it will take a long time for the other party to discuss this with their cabinet. We can't just sit there and wait. We should act according to the original plan and continue to the next strategic location."

"Okay, if the other party wants to continue negotiations, then go find me somewhere else." Li Jing laughed.

Zhu Ming led Li Jing and tens of thousands of his troops and disappeared on the spot.

After the Japanese special envoy Tian Jian finally completed the initial communication with the cabinet, he was happily preparing to find Li Jing again for further negotiations. However, he was shocked to find that the densely packed army around him disappeared without a trace in the blink of an eye, as if they had never appeared.

"Where are the people? What is going on?" Tian Jian widened his eyes and looked at the empty surroundings in disbelief, his heart filled with confusion and panic.

The little notebook is now in a panic.

When the joint army of several countries was first established, the Japanese were jubilant.

Xiao Rizi never thought that several big guys would be willing to join hands with them to form a team.

From the Japanese's perspective, as long as they can win them over and have their help, all problems can be easily solved.

In order to please them, the Japanese contributed money and materials, and struggled to put together a fleet, thinking that they could get a share of the pie when the time came.

Unexpectedly, the final outcome was very different from their expectations.

He openly accused the other party of being cunning, but secretly kept cursing the big guys. Is this the only thing he is capable of?
Another warship of the Wanchao coalition, the "Suzaku", sailed forward with its head held high, causing huge waves wherever it passed, like thousands of horses galloping.

The cannons on the ship were incredibly powerful. The warships of Xiaobenzi were like paper in front of them. They had no power to fight back and could only flee in a panic.

Seeing this situation, the merchant ships that used to travel frequently changed their routes to other places to trade.

China is a tiny country with scarce resources and is extremely dependent on imports for various domestic materials.

Now, in order to avoid being implicated, cargo ships have changed their trade routes to other places, making the situation of small books even more difficult.

Although we have the equipment and technology, we have no materials available and can only worry.

In the coalition forces of all dynasties, the brave soldiers responsible for running the map were destined to face countless difficulties and obstacles from the moment they set foot in this strange land, but they had no fear.

They traveled on the road day and night, and never stopped moving forward, regardless of whether it was stormy or scorching. Their unyielding will was as solid as a rock, and no difficulty could shake it.

In just less than half a month, they had almost finished running!

From those remote, peaceful and tranquil little villages to the bustling, crowded big cities, every corner seemed to be left with the hurried figures of these soldiers.

It is precisely because of their unremitting efforts and struggles that the coalition forces of all dynasties led by Zhu Ming can appear anywhere at any time like divine soldiers and generals descended from the sky.

Sometimes, there would even be a spectacular scene where several large armies launched fierce attacks on several completely different places at the same time, and the results achieved by such tactical arrangements were extremely significant.

There were good news coming in every day, but Xiaobenzi suffered defeat after defeat.

The special envoy Tian Jian was in tears.

The last time I met Li Jing, we didn't reach an agreement.

After discussing the bottom line with his superiors, he could not find Li Jing anymore.

Today I heard that Li Jing was in this place, so I rode there at full speed, only to find that Li Jing appeared again hundreds of miles away.

We have to speed up again.

On the way here on horseback.

In the end, I still didn't get to meet Li Jing.

Half a month passed.

The flags representing the Allied Forces of Ten Thousand Dynasties were planted all over the island.
