Shanghai: The First Warlord of the Republic of China

This battle is basically over.

The Japanese aircraft carriers and warships were almost completely wiped out at sea.

The sea was full of the wreckage of Japanese warships and aircraft carriers, as well as countless floating corpses.

At least hundreds of thousands of Japanese soldiers died in this battle.

The sea water was dyed red.

Of course, Longmen also suffered some damage.

Three aircraft carriers were sunk, and another three or four were severely damaged.

It can be said that the trauma was also very serious.

However, compared with the annihilation of the Japanese army, the loss in Longmen is completely acceptable.

The loss of several aircraft carriers and more than ten warships was exchanged for the annihilation of the Japanese army, which can be said to be a huge profit.

On a warship more than ten nautical miles away from the battlefield, Kawaki Kihide and Kitajima Ryuichi looked at the annihilated island nation's navy in front of them with very grim expressions.

Kawaki Keihide's face turned pale and his whole body was trembling.

After watching for a while, Kawaki Kihide took out a pistol and pointed it at his temple.

"Commander Kawaki, what are you going to do? Don't be impulsive."

Seeing Kawaki Kihide take out a pistol, Kitajima Ryuichi panicked, rushed up immediately, stopped him, and snatched the pistol from his hand.

Kawaki Kihide shouted, "Don't stop me. I want to commit suicide and die to atone for my sins."

"I feel sorry for His Majesty the Emperor, and even more sorry for our country."

"I led a million troops to attack the Dragon Kingdom, but now I can't even enter Shanghai Beach. I was completely wiped out here."

"Eight aircraft carriers, hundreds of warships, and countless outstanding soldiers were all killed here. I have no face to face His Majesty the Emperor, and even less to face the elders and fellow countrymen of the island nation."

"I need funds to let me die to prove my point."

Kawaki Kihide roared loudly, with snot and tears running down his face.

As the lieutenant general of the island country, he was sent by the emperor of the island country to attack the Dragon Kingdom, wanting to destroy the Dragon Kingdom in one fell swoop and make it a vassal state of the big island country.

However, his first battle against the Dragon Kingdom ended in failure.

He has an unshirkable responsibility for this battle and he must be accountable for it.

Therefore, only death can make him atone for his sins.

Kitajima Ryuichi stopped Kawaki Kihide and said, "Commander Kawaki, don't be impulsive. Although we lost this battle, the responsibility is not entirely on you."

"No one expected that Longmen would have such a strong military strength. The number of their aircraft carriers and warships is more than ours, even several times ours."

"If anyone else were to lead this battle, there would be no hope."

"So, the responsibility for this battle is not yours. You don't need to be held responsible for it. I believe that His Majesty the Emperor will understand you."

After listening to what Kitajima Ryuichi said, Kawaki Guixiu said, "You don't have to comfort me. I am the commander of the Oshima Navy. No matter what the reason, we failed in this battle, and it was a miserable defeat. The Oshima Navy we brought was almost wiped out."

"I must take responsibility. Even if I don't commit suicide now, I will still be executed when I return to the Big Island Country. So, it would be better for me to commit suicide now, which will also preserve my reputation."

Beidao Longyi said: "Commander, you are an outstanding general of the empire. The empire cannot do without you."

"I believe that His Majesty the Emperor will understand you. The responsibility for this battle is really not yours."

"You are not responsible for this."

"Also, although we lost this battle, the loss to our big island nation was not very great."

"We, an island nation, still have at least twenty aircraft carriers, hundreds of warships, and millions of troops."

"Relying on these military forces, we can definitely make a comeback. There is an old saying in the Dragon Country that failure is the mother of success. Although we lost this battle, it is not completely without gain."

"We have at least figured out the military strength of the Dragon Kingdom. We know that they have a large number of aircraft carriers and warships, as well as a very strong naval force."

"This also provides a lot of information for our future offensive."

"With this experience, we will be able to win when we reorganize our forces to attack Dragon Country."

Kitajima Ryuichi kept persuading Kawaki Guixiu.

He didn't know whether Kawaki Kihide really wanted to commit suicide or was just acting in front of him.

But no matter what, we still have to persuade.

Kawaki Kihide is, after all, a lieutenant general of the island country, and a favorite of the emperor.

He also holds an important position in the military and has a very powerful force behind him.

If he were to die here, even if it was suicide, he would have to take responsibility.

Therefore, if Kawaki Kihide wanted to commit suicide, he had to stop him.

Hearing Kitajima Ryuichi's words, Kawaki Guixiu stared into the distance in a daze for a long time before he finally said, "It's fate and destiny. I never thought that I, Kawaki Guixiu, would be defeated so miserably one day."

"Moreover, we lost to a loser whose name we have never even heard of. It is such a shame."

"But it doesn't matter. You're right. Although we failed this time, at least we have figured out the military strength of the Dragon Nation."

“It will be easier to defeat them when we come back in the future.”

"As for the responsibility for this defeat, I will personally explain it to His Majesty the Emperor. If His Majesty the Emperor wants to execute me, I will not hesitate."

After hearing what Kawaki Kihide said, Kitajima Ryuichi nodded and said, "Yes, Commander Kawaki, everything will be discussed after we see His Majesty the Emperor."

"We should retreat now. Our warships and aircraft carriers have been completely destroyed. If the Dragon Army finds out you are here, they will definitely send a large army to chase you."

"If you fall into their hands, the consequences will be disastrous."

Kawaki Guixiu looked at the battlefield ahead, and finally gritted his teeth and said, "Okay, retreat."

"Longmen, Ye Yunfei, just wait for me. Sooner or later, I will come back here. When the time comes, I will not only kill you and destroy Longmen, but also take over the entire Long Kingdom."

After saying that, the two left quickly.

……

At the same time, at Yangpu Wharf.

At this time, the entire battlefield was basically over, and the island country's warships and aircraft carriers on the sea had been completely sunk.

In this battle, Longmen won a great success and the Japanese army was completely wiped out.

Ye Yunfei, Ding Li, Xu Wenqiang and others, as well as Yan Laoxi, Feng Yuxiang, Li Bai, Long Han and others were also all at the dock.

They all looked at the ruins ahead and the blood-red sea.

Unexpectedly, the battle ended like this, ending with a great victory for the Dragon Kingdom.

All the warships and aircraft carriers sent by the island nation were destroyed here, and not a single one left safely...

The Japanese were completely wiped out at Yangpu Wharf...
