Anti-Japanese War, weapons designer at Fengtian Arsenal
Chapter 225: Sunset of the British Empire
Some people may worry that your Punishment Army is so brave and beat up Old Angsa. Others can't do anything to you, but the Nationalist government can't escape, right?
Then we have to talk about why the British came to the Far East. Was it to gain benefits? Then what kind of government was the Republic of China? It was a capitalist buyout government. It was simply serving the British. How could they start a war to overthrow such a government? So I was at peace.
However, the ruthless actions of the Punitive Army still caused a sensation. On the second day, the news that a British diplomatic official was beaten and a member of an Indian governor's squad was killed spread everywhere. Some Japanese spies and people who disliked the Punitive Army thought that this was their chance and immediately spread the word that Britain was going to declare war on the Republic of China and that the Republic of China would immediately have a powerful enemy. All this was thanks to the Punitive Army!
Under the influence of these rumors, there was considerable panic among the people, to which the Punishment Army responded immediately.
When Li Xin was developing in Shanghai, he purchased many newspapers. These propaganda agencies operated at full speed, clearly describing how the British blackmailed the Punishment Army and how the Indian patrolmen opened fire first, allowing the people to see the ugly faces of the Angus gang.
As a result, the people became angry, and some of them ran to the door of the British Consulate to protest. The crowd grew larger and larger, and surrounded the British Consulate.
This attracted the attention of the British Consul Cleverley, who came to the wall of the consulate and saw the people outside holding insulting banners. He became furious.
He found the captain of the consulate's Indian guards, pointed at his nose and yelled, "Damn you, you idiot Jura! The British Empire paid to send you here from the feces river, not to let you eat for free, quickly disperse those people outside!"
The captain of the Asan guard swallowed his saliva and said cautiously: "Sir, I'm afraid this is impossible."
Cleverly was stunned and cursed again: "Stupid guy, is the gun in your hand a fire stick? I allow you to use a gun, quickly disperse the mob outside!"
This did not prompt the Asan guard captain to take any action. He just pointed to the back of the protest team and remained silent.
Cleverly looked in the direction he pointed and saw a dozen black giants leaning against the wall behind the protesting crowd, smoking.
Their tall figures are quite eye-catching, and even at the back of the crowd, one can still clearly see their upper bodies.
Several giants looked towards the British Consulate with grim eyes, exuding extreme malice. It was obvious that as long as the British Consulate dared to do anything to the protesting people, the giants would be happy to rush in and kill every one of them.
Cleveland was sweating profusely, he had heard the rumors in the city that the Punishment Army had more than 100 tall mutants, and that these mutants were superhumans who had practiced ancient secret techniques, and each of them had strength that ordinary people could not match. Now it seemed that this was not a rumor at all!
"Go...go call the people from the Nationalist government and let them solve it themselves!"
Cleverly came up with this idea again, to let their own government deal with their own people. This was a very useful strategy in the past, but it obviously didn't work this time.
The people sent by Cleverly came back soon and said that the Nationalist government had limited military strength and it was not convenient to send troops, and the other party did not attack the consulate, so it was enough and they went back at dinner time.
Cleverly was furious. It wasn't that they didn't have the manpower, but that they didn't dare to attack the Punishment Army!
Damn the Punishment Army! The honor of the British Empire cannot be challenged!
He responded immediately and sent a telegram to order the British destroyer anchored at sea to sail towards the Wusong Fort.
The Japanese spies had long since discovered the conflict between the Punitive Forces and Britain, and knew that this British destroyer was coming to provoke the Punitive Forces, so they immediately allowed it to enter the "exercise" area, and then expected a fight between the two sides.
The British destroyer sailed to 5 nautical miles from Wusong Fort, with all its guns pointed at it. The ship's telegram sent an ultimatum to the Punitive Army, demanding that the Punitive Army apologize to the British Empire, compensate the telegraph office for its losses, and be responsible for the cost of the warship's deployment, totaling 1500 million oceans.
The Punishment Army’s response was in the most authentic Chinese.
At that time, the battleship's telegraph soldier translated the information while listening to the voice in the headphones, and felt his ears were dirty. He showed the translation paper to the captain, and the captain felt like his eyes were going blind. The content on the telegram paper was so dirty, as if it had been contaminated by the subspace, and it looked like it had grown fucking tentacles.
In addition to trash talking, the Punishment Army also took practical action. All artillery was raised high and pointed at the British destroyer, and the atmosphere between the two sides was tense.
The British warships circled the sea several times but did not dare to fire. They saw through the high-powered telescopes on the Cambridge that the muzzles of the Wusong Fort moved in the direction of their warships. This made their attitude clear: as long as they dared to fire, the Punishment Army would dare to fight back.
They were just a light destroyer and they didn't dare to attack. They wandered around on the sea for several hours without daring to take action. Finally, the destroyer captain tactfully told Cleverly that he couldn't win.
When the British Consul Cleverley heard the result, he was furious and wanted to order a bombardment of the Wusong Fort on the spot. However, he was a senior diplomat after all, and he quickly regained his senses.
Britain's national strength is declining now. There are still two old powers in Europe, Germany and France. Especially in Germany, a disturbing restlessness is brewing in this country, and the security of Britain's homeland is in danger of being broken.
Now, are they going to offend an illegal armed force in the Far East that has no territory and seems a bit extreme?
What if the other party went crazy and attacked the Southeast Asian colonies to the south, or went to the west to seize the most dazzling jewel in the Queen's crown? Either way, it would be unacceptable to him.
In the end, the old British aristocrat put aside his pride, ordered the warships to stop wandering around on the sea and return to port, and the British demonstration ended in a whimper.
Li Xin's newspaper reported the incident extensively, with words full of ridicule towards Britain, and an interesting photo was also attached to the newspaper.
The British destroyer hung around the Wusong Fort for a whole day, and finally turned around and left in disgrace. The photo was taken at this time.
The entire picture was filled with only the vast ocean, with the back of a destroyer floating on the sea. The setting sun in the sky had fallen halfway below the sea, and a feeling of loneliness rose up in the air.
Li Xin understands publicity, and he even added a message under the photo: The sunset of the British Empire.
The newspaper was sold out that day. The defeat suffered by the old power Britain in its punitive attack on the army made the people feel very encouraged and their bent backs straightened up a lot.
By publishing this information, the "Julong Daily" founded by Li Xin also came into the public eye and became a major newspaper that could be on the stage.
The Julong Daily was the product of Li Xin's activities in Shanghai during this period. He acquired several less famous small daily newspapers and purchased a large number of printing machines to develop the propaganda weapon of the Punishment Army.
However, the Julong Daily had a difficult start. The newspaper industry in Shanghai and surrounding areas was saturated, and the Julong Daily had no room for development.
But after the January 28th Battle of Shanghai broke out, the "Julong Daily" immediately seized the opportunity and opened a special page to report the battle situation in Shanghai in real time, analyzing the Japanese troops, the personalities of their generals, and possible tactics they might adopt.
This kind of article analyzing the character and tactics of enemy generals was rare at that time, and the people found it very novel, so the "Julong Daily" was sold out every day.
Of course, what really made the Dragon Daily so popular was the entry of the Punishment Army. The Dragon Daily is updated three times a day, reporting the latest developments of the Punishment Army at the speed of light.
It includes the military parade of the entry of the Punishment Army, the weapons and equipment of the Punishment Army, analysis of the Punishment Army's tactics, interviews with Punishment Army generals, and how many Japanese devils were killed.
In addition, the "Julong Daily" also contains a large number of battlefield photos that record the combat scenes of the Punitive Army soldiers. These resources are unavailable to other newspapers. Reporters from other newspapers cannot enter the Punitive Army positions. If you want to read the latest and most intuitive newspapers, you can only look for the "Julong Daily".
Today is the 19th, and tomorrow is the 20th, the end of the armistice date agreed upon by China and Japan. People are flocking to the sales points of the "Julong Daily" to see what the Punishment Army thinks about tomorrow's armistice day?
Then they were stunned by the content of the "Julong Daily". The headline on the newspaper read: "The Punishment Army will launch an active attack on the Japanese positions after the armistice ends! !"
