The First Evolution
Chapter 33
"Cough, it seems that all parties involved are making big profits, so who loses?"
After Fang Linyan pondered and understood this matter, he felt a little unbelievable:
"Isn't the Japanese army newly built? Is it actually corrupted like this?"
In fact, at that time, most people thought that it was really remarkable that Japan used a weak country to dominate a great country in the First World War. However, if you carefully read the materials from the piles of historical papers, you will find some details:
When the Sino-Japanese War of the Yellow Sea started, the Beiyang Fleet had not been maintained for half a year, and the shells used were not lethal enough. Shortly after the war, the bridge of the Pingyuan ship even collapsed due to disrepair for a long time, causing three people to die. Seriously injured......
It can be said that the strength of the entire Beiyang Fleet is at most 80%!
Not only that, there are detailed statistics later, the total number of artillery pieces of the Japanese combined fleet is 268, 73 more than the Beiyang fleet, and the number of torpedo tubes is 36, 16 more than the Beiyang fleet.
According to the statistics of the British Naval Yearbook, the firing rate of the rapid-fire guns at that time was six times that of the original rear-mounted guns. Based on this calculation, the firepower of the Japanese fleet was actually three times that of the Beiyang fleet!
In this case, the result of the naval battle was that the Beiyang Fleet lost four warships "Zhiyuan", "Jingyuan", "Chaoyong" and "Yangwei", and more than a thousand officers and soldiers were killed or injured.
Five ships of the Japanese fleet "Matsushima", "Yoshino", "Hiei", "Akagi" and "Nishikyo Maru" were seriously injured, and the number of casualties was more than 700.
So strictly speaking, the essence of Jiawu is actually a war between Japan and Li Hongzhang alone!
It is worth mentioning that in the end, it was the Japanese combined fleet that relied on its speed advantage and voluntarily evacuated the battlefield of the naval battle.
In this case, the two sides can really be said to be pecking at each other.... No one has any decisive advantage!
It can even be said with certainty that if Lafayette did not embezzle the public funds of the Navy to repair the garden, then the Chinese side would not dare to say that they would win the Sino-Japanese naval battle, and at least it would have a 70% chance of winning.
It is true that many generals in the Beiyang Fleet have corruption, fear of death, smoking, deduction, smuggling in private cabins, etc. Isn't it true that the Japanese side does not? Hehe, it's just that the winner and loser didn't say it.
The Japanese side would only deal with it internally and would not hype it up, and the Qing Dynasty side would not say it, because a word of propaganda... In the face of serious corruption, training and evacuation, the enemies who are sullen If he lost the fight, wouldn't his own family be worse than them?
Therefore, the propaganda caliber of the Qing Dynasty at that time must have advocated that the Japanese were powerful and incomparably powerful. In this case, the loss of the Beiyang Fleet would appear to be a bit of a fig leaf.
Of course, in the official history, the combat effectiveness of the Japanese army has only been stagnant until this time. After receiving the 20,000,000 taels of silver compensated by the Treaty of Shimonoseki, its national strength, military strength, and combat effectiveness began to grow rapidly.
In just five years, it has been possible to fight a local war with the old powerhouse Russia, and still win it terribly.
Of course, if Russia starts a full-scale war with it, then Japan will definitely lose its underpants, but this is impossible.
Because Russia has also suffered a great restraint in Europe, Japan was established by Britain in the Far East to deal with this huge,
A pawn of a rotten, barbaric realm.
Therefore, when Fang Linyan learned about this situation, he immediately had a bold idea, and immediately said to La Ming:
"Check the list of transactions with Jiuguiyuan."
Laming said:
"It may take a while, but it shouldn't be a big problem, what? Are you going to deal with them together?"
Fang Linyan immediately shook his head like a rattle, and said:
"No, no, with such talents, we should help them go to higher-level positions so that they can play a more active role."
"Immediately investigate the network around them, as well as competitors in the position. At this critical juncture, we must be more efficient."
Hearing Fang Linyan's request, La Ming hesitated for a while, then simply extended his hand to him:
"To do these things, you have to burn money."
Fang Linyan laughed and said:
"This is no problem. When I was in Shanghai at the time, I considered various situations that might be coerced and lured, so I brought 300,000 taels of silver with me."
Ramin nodded and said:
"Give me 100,000 taels first, and then it will take at least a week."
Fang Linyan Road:
"Can."
***
The waiting time was undoubtedly long, but when La Ming was busy collecting information, Fang Linyan also visited the entire Nagasaki. Basically, he knew the terrain and streets and alleys in the vicinity. He also drew a map. corresponding map.
At the same time, the corresponding news from China can also be obtained from Nagasaki, but after a delay of two or three days, and the only way to understand it can be Japanese newspapers.
Obviously, the news about China posted on it is not completely true and must have been controlled by the news, but this is better than smearing it.
From these newspapers, we can learn that although the Japanese have fully occupied Korea, the situation here is not optimistic, because there is a guy named "Yi Sun-sin" who has pulled up a group of people and started to fight guerrillas!
Yes, this guy has the same name and surname as the first Korean general! Then the Japanese army is now caught in the vast ocean war of the people's sea. It can be said that it is devastated. It has experienced the power of guerrilla warfare forty years in advance.
According to the latest news that Fang Linyan saw in the newspaper, the puppet government supported by the Japanese: Li Zhengying, the king of the courtyard, had been poisoned to death by the maid next to him five days ago.
This time the entire puppet government was almost paralyzed. The original plan of the Japanese was to take North Korea quickly, and then squeeze North Korea's manpower and material resources for domestic blood transfusion.
As a result, the current mess has become that the more than 13,000 troops dispatched to eat, drink, and carry out food and beverages need domestic supplies, and because the army is still relatively scattered, the supply lines have also suffered frequent attacks, which undoubtedly makes Japan already stud. The economic situation has worsened. …
Fang Linyan was almost certain that this sudden rise of Yi Sun-sin was definitely a space fighter of the Korean/Silla nation, a hero with three gangs, and there must be two or three space fighters around him who worked together.
Thinking of this, Fang Linyan couldn't help but sigh:
"Damn it, it's good for a small ethnic group."
Laming also captured Fang Linyan's mentality:
"Smallness has small benefits. Small people know that it is not easy to survive in a big environment, so they don't have so many sloppy bowels."
"Someone raised the flag, and the rest felt that it could be done, so they immediately followed over to help wholeheartedly, because they knew that this situation was not easy to come by. Ruined."
"On the contrary, among large ethnic groups, there are more capable people, and no one obeys the other, not to mention concerted efforts, and even at critical moments to prevent the other party from pulling back, but the benefits are also obvious. If you are lucky, you can't It's good to lie down and win."
Fang Linyan shook his head and smiled bitterly:
"It's impossible to lie down and win."
At this time, Lamin looked at the time and said:
"It's time to go. According to the information I received, the character of the guy we are going to meet today is quite arrogant and arrogant."
Fang Linyan nodded and said:
"Let's go."
***
The person Fang Linyan met this time, called Togoi, was extremely influential in the entire Japanese fleet.
There is no doubt that this person has a very strong background. It is said that his elder brother is a powerful figure in the navy: Togo Heihachiro! Not only that, but Togoi and Shirakawa-go Prince Nohisa have an excellent personal relationship.
In Lamin's words, if this person is pulled out as a radish, the roots and soil that are pulled out will spread to most of the combined fleet!
Of course, the reputation of such a person is also polarized:
Someone labelled him the God of Wealth, enough friends, big hands, easy to borrow money.
Someone labelled him a tumor, a country maggot, an uneducated wild dog, and a greedy red deer.
There is no doubt that similarities gather, and those who are optimistic about Dongxiangjing must be those guys in the navy who are very selfish and like to corrupt and take bribes.
The point is, those who are hostile to it are those young soldiers in the navy, and most of the people on Fang Linyan's must-kill list regard Dongxiangjing as a thorn in their side!
However, what is strange is that the backer of Togojing: Heihachiro Togo has a decent reputation among the young Zhuang faction.
After careful analysis by La Ming and Fang Linyan, the final label attached to Dongxiangjing was 1.13 percentage points.
What does it mean?
Specifically, if Dongxiangjing can now take a step forward and gain more and greater power, then the victory rate of the Chinese side's war progress bar will increase by 1.13 percentage points.
The best thing is that no one noticed this at this time, so Fang Linyan planned to do it both ways, and this time to see Dongxiangjing was his first step.
The two just walked about five or six hundred meters to the place. At this time, under the guidance of the waiter, the two walked slowly into this very luxurious restaurant. The two will be searched later.
And after entering the store, not to mention anything else, just looking at the garden decoration outside, you know that this is a place where the poor can't come.
After the waiter took the two to the outside of a typical Japanese-style shrine, he was about to go in to report, but he saw a series of angry yells coming from inside:
"Baga! をそらす! (I don't know how to lift)"
Then a loud bang was heard, and a man staggered out of it.
In the end, the man didn't hold back his footsteps, and sat down on the ground, destroying the meticulously created dry landscape. He supported the ground with one hand, covered his face with the other, and had a clog on his chest.
The discerning person reacted immediately after seeing it. This guy first received a heavy slap, and then he was kicked out in front of him. The guy who kicked him was so ruthless that even the clogs on his feet fell off. .
An old man with a shaggy beard to be slapped and beaten like this in public, or in a society with a clear distinction between superior and inferior, such as Japan, if the person who was beaten is estimated to have poor psychological quality, he will be cut on the spot.
However, after seeing the face of the man who was beaten clearly, La Ming's expression suddenly changed, he walked up quickly to help him up, and said with concern:
"Kuroda-san! It doesn't matter, right?"
The person who was beaten was of course very embarrassed at this time, and after seeing La Ming's face clearly, he was even more ashamed:
"I'm fine, I'm fine, thank you Masuda-san (Laming's pseudonym), thank you."
Then he broke free from Lamin's hand and walked outside in shame and indignation.
Fang Linyan was also moved after hearing the name "Kuroda-san", and when the man left, he whispered to La Ming:
"Is this Kuroda Yuya?"
Laming said:
"Yes."
As mentioned earlier, Kuroda is also one of the top three in the combined fleet in terms of professionalism, but not only in Japan, but even in all workplaces. of.
Especially in places like state-owned enterprises and government agencies, emotional quotient must be more important than IQ.
As far as Fang Linyan has seen with his own eyes, although Kuroda Xiong is also the chief engineer, his status and rights in the army should be very general.
At the same time, it can be seen that Lamin's work is also quite effective. Listening to the question and answer between him, he should have met with Kuroda, and he is not the kind of nodding acquaintance, and there is a certain degree of contact.
The two were about to have a deep conversation, but the waiter who had entered earlier had already walked over and whispered:
"Mr. Dongxiang, please come in."
Fang Linyan nodded, and then the two were led away. After seeing the famous Dongxiangjing, he couldn't help but be taken aback!
It turned out that there was a scene that grabbed people before. Combined with what this fellow did, Fang Linyan had already sketched a drunken, unreasonable, face full of flesh, violent personality, greedy and violent image in his mind.
However, the man who appeared in front of Fang Linyan had dark eyebrows like swords, elegant temperament, and deep eyes. He looked like Cao Cao or Oda Nobunaga, a Confucian general or hero who could command thousands of troops. From the feeling of Emperor Qing played by Chen Daoming, just looking at his appearance, he feels that this person is upright and wants to wash away the evil in the world.
However, there was some abnormal crimson on Dongxiangjing's face, and he looked a little thinner, as if he had a disease. To be honest, if he hadn't witnessed it with his own eyes, it would have been difficult to associate Kuroda Yuya's experience with Dongxiangjing. come together.
After the two stepped forward to salute, Dongxiangjing nodded slightly, then waved his hand to the waiter to arrange for the two of them to sit down, then sat down at the table, and began to eat directly at the food in front of him. His behavior was obviously a Signal, the rest of the people also started.
