Travel through the Qing Dynasty and become emperor

Completely beyond De'an's expectation, the emperor didn't look particularly happy after seeing the telegram. Instead, he let out a long sigh and said three times: everything has changed.Then he said to De'an: "I see, you can kneel down first." De'an left the hall full of suspicion.

At the imperial meeting that day, Guan Xuqing conveyed the news of Hailanpao's great victory to the ministers, and ordered the Military Aircraft Department to draw up a reward for the Northeast Army on the spot. Gorsk and Chegdomen ordered Dong Liang to urgently transfer four divisions from the Northeast Military Region to be incorporated into the Far East Frontier Defense Force.

Almost at the same time, in the Winter Palace in St. Petersburg, Russia, Nicholas II was furious at a large number of military generals. Everyone present was terrified, and they were silent in the face of the mad Tsar.

"What the hell is going on? The most powerful Far East Army in the empire was swallowed up by the Chinese in just two weeks. Even the reinforcements of the three divisions were defeated by them. The honor of the empire I was ruined by you trash..." Nicholas, who was more ambitious than the great Peter the Great and Alexander III, could not accept this reality anyway.

"The weapons and equipment of the Chinese are superior to ours, and their tactical arrangements are very cunning. If it is a head-to-head confrontation, the Far East Army will never lose to any army in the world..." the army chief of staff said tremblingly.

"Bastard! The most important thing in war is the result, not the process. In this day and age, your high-sounding reasons can be put into museums." Nicholas's face became ashen as he spoke, and he knocked all the decorations on the table to the ground, making a shrill sound. The smashing sound.

"Immediately order the troops stationed in various parts of Eastern Siberia to quickly assemble. The time limit is two weeks, and then listen to my orders at any time. The Chinese emperor is an ambitious man. He must know that we will not stop after we lose Hailanpao. We must be increasing troops there now, and after a period of adjustments, it is very likely that we will move to the hinterland of Eastern Siberia. By then, the original border dispute will turn into a war of aggression between China and Russia. Therefore, we must be in China The emperor made a careful deployment before making a move. I don't want the flames of war to burn to the Russian mainland. In contemporary wars, whoever has the initiative will win the final victory. My goal is not Hailanpao, but Beijing!" Nicholas Forcibly restraining his emotions that were about to collapse, as the ruler of the largest country in the world, he must remain calm at this time.

The ministers of the navy watched gloatingly from the sidelines. It has been an indisputable fact that the navy and the army have been at odds for many years. They hope that the army will experience an early defeat so as to combat their growing arrogance.But the honor of the Empire is paramount, and they could no longer remain silent in the face of the Tsar's dismay.

"Your Majesty, don't be too angry. There are too many chances in wars. The Chinese won a lucky victory and it doesn't explain anything. Fortunately, the Empire still has a strong naval force. According to your instructions, the Far East Fleet has stationed troops in the waters of Vladivostok. We can launch a powerful strike against the Chinese at any time." The Secretary of the Navy said confidently.

"Well, now we can only place our hopes on the Far East Fleet, but the Chinese naval power should not be underestimated. Don't forget that they just defeated the mighty British fleet last year. I am really worried about the outcome of this naval battle." Nicholas He frowned and said, but the powerful naval strength of the empire temporarily saved his bad mood.

"Don't worry, the Far East Fleet has made all preparations. They plan to use a complete victory to defend the honor of the empire and tear up China's coastal defense line in the Far East." shine.

"Your Majesty, there is good news from the secret military base in Northwest China. The Wright Brothers' aircraft has passed the third round of testing and has now been successfully developed!" Feng Xianghua excitedly announced to the Emperor.

"Okay, I want to go and see for myself." The continuous good news put Guan Xuqing in a very good mood.

Two days later, Guan Xuqing arrived at the secret military base in the Northwest along the Beijing-Ukraine railway line in his armored train, and inspected the Wright Brothers' aircraft testing ground with great interest.

Submarines, tanks, and aircraft are listed as the three major heavy weapons and equipment items of the empire, which will undertake the important task of the empire's future military defense and expansion. The first phase of the submarine development task has been completed, and it has achieved great success in the surprise attack on the Australian and New Zealand Fleet. Impressive achievement.

Since the tank project has stolen the design data of the British B19 tank, it is believed that it will be successfully developed in the near future.

Aircraft, as the core of these three major projects, naturally received special attention from Guan Xuqing. An annual investment of 200 million yuan is a luxury for any military research program in the world, but this luxury has paid off in exchange for success today. , Guan Xuqing's plan to build a powerful air force is not far away.

It was a sunny day, and it seemed that the usual sand and dust weather did not appear due to the arrival of the emperor. Under the watchful eyes of the emperor, the Wright brothers acted as the pilots of the plane. After a burst of white smoke was emitted from the engine, the plane was on the runway. After taxiing, it was getting faster and faster. When it was about 3 kilometers away, the nose of the plane suddenly lifted up, and the whole fuselage slowly left the ground. After drawing an invisible slope in the air, it went straight to the sky .

Guan Xuqing took the lead in applauding, and all the accompanying officials couldn't stop praising. The Wright Brothers even made a few dangerous moves in the air like a prank, which caused a burst of exclamation from the audience on the ground. The plane stayed in the air for about 6 minutes. Then land steadily.

Guan Xuqing caressed the pale yellow wings, and praised the Wright Brothers.The piston engine (the propeller is driven by the engine to rotate), the double wing (the wood plus the cloth skin forms the wing), the fuselage, the empennage, the landing gear, these parts form the most primitive version of the aircraft.

"What's the name of this plane?" Guan Xuqing asked the Wright brothers.

"Your Majesty, please give it a name."

Guan Xuqing pondered for a while, and said: "This is the first aircraft of the Imperial Air Force. Its birth marks that the Empire will have the right to speak in the air. Let's call it Air Force 1."

Everyone cheered in unison, and Guan Xuqing said to the Wright Brothers: "It's not enough just to be able to fly into the sky. In order to meet the needs of war, we also need to consider installing weapons on it. For example, a machine gun, or a few boxes of grenades. Install a With a machine gun, it becomes a primitive version of a fighter. Put a few boxes of grenades on it. It is a primitive version of a bomber. In addition to attacking, it can also be used to scout enemy positions. In short, your mission is still very In the future, the training mission of imperial pilots will be handed over to you, and you are the chief instructors of imperial air force pilots."

"Thank you, Your Majesty, for your grace." The Wright Brothers performed a standard kneeling salute like court ministers.

Soaring Front: World War I Chapter 259 Burn, Vladivostok 1

In the Hall of Mental Cultivation, Guan Xuqing stared fixedly at Vladivostok on the map. He just got the news that the Russian Far East Fleet has crossed the narrow Tatar Strait and docked in the port of the Russian coastal city of Terney. They sent a fleet of ships to spy and investigate in the waters near Vladivostok. At present, the waters north of Vladivostok have been completely controlled by the Russians. They also sent more than a dozen coastal defense patrols to cruise around in the sea of ​​Japan. There are not many in the history of Russia.Once the war starts in this sea area, the entire Sea of ​​Japan will burn!

Vladivostok, located on the northern slope of Zottoi Bay at the southern end of the Muraviyov-Amursky Peninsula, is in the shape of a bucket and covers an area of ​​about 600 square kilometers. It is currently China's largest port on the Pacific coast of the Far East.It faces the sea on three sides, has an excellent natural harbor, and has a very superior geographical location. The Russians have long coveted this place, but the important thing is that once they occupy Vladivostok, they will radiate to the large sea area of ​​​​North China from here. The large sea area in the east of the region will fall into the hands of the Russians, which will be a fatal threat to the three northeastern provinces and even North China.

"Your Majesty, the empress is worried about your dragon body, so she personally cooked ginseng soup for you, please use some." Wang Shang handed a bowl of ginseng soup to the emperor.

"It's still Jingfen who is thoughtful. I must drink this bowl of soup." Guan Xuqing finally showed a smile on his tense face. He took the ginseng soup and drank it slowly, praising: "Good soup, tell me later. Empress, I have important things to do in the past few days, so I will definitely go to see her when I get out of my body."

"twitter."

"Is Liu Buchan here?"

"It's waiting."

"Xuan Jin."

"twitter."

As soon as Liu Buchan entered the palace, Guan Xuqing asked, "Vladivostok should be under your rule, right?"

"Yes."

Guan Xuqing nodded, and said: "The warships dispatched from the Beiyang Fleet have arrived there one after another, but now I can't find a good commander. You are the governor of the navy and you need to coordinate the overall situation. Deng Shichang, Shen Baozhen and others It is also an important official of the imperial court to supervise one party's affairs, and it is inconvenient to transfer. You must know that the Russian Far East Fleet is not an idler, and their rear is close at hand, and the supply of armaments is not a problem. I came to you to hear if you have any Good candidate."

Liu Buchan smiled slightly: "Your Majesty, this person is far away in the sky and right in front of us."

"What do you mean?"

"This person is currently in Vladivostok."

"You're talking about Lin Jianzhang?"

"Your Majesty sees it clearly. This Lin Jianzhang graduated from the Jiangnan Naval Academy. After serving the country and joining the army, he served successively as first officer, captain, and captain. He has rich experience in command at sea. He participated in the formulation of many combat plans of the Ministry. This man is not only an excellent commander but also has a sincere patriotism. Last year, the Russian local government rudely expelled Chinese businessmen. Lin Jianzhang resolutely came forward to argue with the Russians. Under pressure, the Russian government had to withdraw this decision. Lin Jianzhang’s move not only protected the interests of Chinese businessmen, but also forced the Russians to make adjustments around his policy on the Vladivostok area.” Liu Buchan eloquently said that he knew Lin Jianzhang’s deeds very well. , the respect for Lin Jianzhang is beyond words.

"Oh? I knew about this, but I was busy with state affairs, so I didn't pay special attention to it." Guan Xuqing's eyes flashed and he thought for a while, then said: "In the name of the Ministry of the Navy, we will send power to Vladivostok, and appoint Lin Jianzhang as the commander-in-chief of coastal defense, tell him , starting today, I will hand over the Sea of ​​Japan to him."

"twitter!"

Vladivostok.After Lin Jianzhang received the appointment order from the Ministry of the Navy, on the one hand, he was grateful for the mighty kindness of the emperor, and on the other hand, he also felt that he had a heavy responsibility on his shoulders.

The greed of the Russians is world-renowned. The Far East Fleet did not come here just to collect war reparations. The Slavs have a soft spot for land.Even Germany and France, the Russian polar bear, dare not be too arrogant in front of him, so as not to cause a full-scale war on land.The reason why Britain has no scruples is because they have a strong navy as a backing. Even so, the British dare not easily provoke the steel defense line on the Black Sea.Once the China-Russia battle for maritime hegemony starts, even Lin Jianzhang himself has no idea who will win the battle.

After he served as the naval defense here, he started to reinforce the original fort, and at the same time built three new forts, and spent huge sums of money to buy advanced Krupp fortress guns from Germany to resist the attack of foreign enemies.The superior geographical location has made Vladivostok's business increasingly prosperous, and the long-term stability and peace have made the constant stream of merchant ships even doubt what these cannons are for.

As usual, Liu Dingbang, the head of the regiment in charge of coastal defense missions in this area, conducted a careful inspection of each fort, and after making sure that no problems were found, he prepared to go back home and take a rest.

At this time, a sailor shouted loudly: "Regimental Commander, a Russian warship was found in the sea ahead." "What's the fuss, go and inform the commander in chief." Still keeping calm, he walked to the gazebo and watched the distant sea with binoculars.

I saw the densely packed Russian warships on the sea approaching the fort. These Russian ships emitted thick smoke from the chimneys, which dyed the sky black, as if a huge black mist was pressing towards the fort.This makes the official platform guarding the fort feel pressured, and it seems a little uncomfortable.

The officers and soldiers of the garrison battalion rushed to the fort when they heard the news: "Commander, what should we do now?"

"Everyone, don't panic, prepare to meet the enemy." Only then did Liu Dingbang realize that his hands were shaking.

The soldiers moved the shells out of the warehouse in a panic and loaded them into the cannon one by one, waiting for Liu Dingbang's command.

Liu Dingbang stared at the masts erected on the sea, feeling extremely anxious. Without the command of the commander-in-chief, whether to fight or not at this time.

After a period of adjustments, the main ship of the Far East Fleet, which has long been impatient, headed for Vladivostok first. This is a huge fleet.There are 8 battleships, more than 20 main cruisers, more than 20 gunboats and torpedo ships of various tonnages, and more than ten auxiliary ships and transport ships.Lieutenant General Vakchen looked at the quiet coast excitedly, wondering how the Chinese defenders would resist the sea attack of the great Russian Empire after a while.

The indigenous riots had just been suppressed in Kamchatka. Facing the primitive people who used bows and arrows and iron knives and guns, such a war could only be regarded as a massacre, and even made many soldiers feel boring.But Wakqen just likes this kind of killing, what a happy thing that is.During the supply stop in Sakhalin Island, the local government specially arranged a grand dance party in order to welcome the Steel Division.At the ball, Wakchen officially announced to his subordinates that he would enter Vladivostok and even North China. There are endless treasures, as long as you turn around there, the treasures will make you unable to hold them.Many people think of China as a paradise for adventurers from all over the world.

The adjutant Vahiliri walked up to Vakerchen and said, "Your Excellency, it will be a while before we reach the range."

"Okay, let the lads get ready to fight, tell them we are here to bring the treasure back, if you are slow, you can't blame me for not bringing them here"

Hearing this, Vahili couldn't help laughing, "Okay, general, I will convey your meaning to every soldier."
