s: There was a problem with the Genesis system last night, and the backend could not be accessed.
There is no way,╮╭ Tokyo, April 10, 1913, AD 2754.
While China was celebrating its victory in the East China Sea, Japan was in chaos.
From the prime minister to the civilians, everyone was shocked and bewildered by the bad news that "the combined fleet was annihilated."
At this time, Japan's domestic news control was not very strict, and it was far from compared with the World War II period in the original time and space.
The most important thing is that there is now a newer media radio station compared to the same period in the original time and space.
Since the invention of the radio, this kind of thing and supporting radio stations have sprung up like mushrooms after rain.
Now all the major powers have purchased relevant patents and licenses from Xingke Group and established their own radio stations.
But Japan is different.
They are a big power and they really don’t have a small amount of money to do these things.
However, don’t worry, there are still many enthusiastic people in this world.
It doesn’t matter if you don’t have money in Japan, we have it, we’ll just set up a radio station It doesn't matter that the Japanese people are too poor to afford terminal equipment such as radios.
Chinese companies are conscientious companies and are most considerate of their users.
In order to meet the growing spiritual and cultural needs of the Japanese people and to take care of the poor living standards of the Japanese people, major Chinese electronics manufacturing companies were anxious about the difficulties of the Japanese people and thought about what the Japanese people thought, and specially launched a cheap version of the radio. .
The casing is made of plywood, and the loudspeaker is the cheapest carton type.
The contents inside are whatever is cheap, and the cost price does not exceed 5 yuan.
China has exported a large number of these cheap radios to Japan in the past few years.
The price on the market is less than 10 yen.
Major merchants have advertised "For only 9 yuan and eight, take home the cute radio."
And there are a lot of smuggled goods inside, and the price is even lower.
You can buy one for about 78 yen.
In order to enrich the spiritual and cultural life of the Japanese people, the Central Propaganda Department of the Chinese Science and Socialist Party also cooperated with China International Broadcasting Corporation to open several Japanese channels.
Of course, the American Zentraedi Foundation is also involved in this kind of thing.
They also established a Japanese channel in Hawaii.
The most egregious thing is that the newly emerged Godzilla Consortium in the UK took advantage of the Anglo-Japanese alliance to directly invest and establish the "Nippon Broadcasting Corporation" in Tokyo.
As soon as you look at the name of this Godzilla Consortium, you can tell that it must have something to do with Mr.
Wen.
In other words, the radio stations that Japanese people can hear now are basically controlled by China or Xingke’s vest company.
In other words, what the Japanese people are hearing on the radio now is what Buntoshi wanted them to hear.
It just so happens that the Japanese government has no awareness of precautions against new things like radio, and is completely letting it go.
Even their high-ranking officials are listening to these radio broadcasts.
Of course, the radios they use are definitely not the cheap ones used by the lower class Japanese, but High-end luxury radio made in China.
Precisely because, after they learned the news of the defeat of the United Fleet, although they controlled the newspapers and periodicals as soon as possible, they still did not cover up the result because of the existence of the broadcast.
By noon that day, the whole country was basically aware of it.
Even some high-level bosses in the Japanese government only found out about this through radio broadcasts.
Because the military headquarters couldn't believe it at all, when the news was broadcast, they were still confirming the information repeatedly and did not have time to report it to the bosses.
"What, it's impossible for the combined fleet to be completely destroyed.
Are your intelligence sure?"
Marshal Togo Heihachiro, the veteran of the Navy, was losing his temper at the Navy Ministry.
He was originally waiting for the good news of victory at home, but he learned the bad news from the noon broadcast.
Of course, he didn't believe it, so he immediately rushed to the Navy Ministry.
"Your Excellency, Marshal, the intelligence has been repeatedly confirmed and it is true."
Navy Minister Saito Minoru collapsed on his seat in frustration and said with a sad face: "Your Excellency, we have been defeated and the combined fleet is gone."
His adjutant Mitsumasa Yoneuchi handed a telegram to Togo Heihachiro.
"It's really defeated."

After reading it, Togo Heihachiro was dumbfounded and the telegram slipped from his hand.
"United Fleet, My Combined Fleet" When Togo Heihachiro came out of the Navy Ministry in despair, his whole figure seemed to have aged twenty years.
Not long after Togo Heihachiro went out, an officer ran in in a hurry.
"Your Excellency, Prime Minister of the Navy, it's not good.
There are rebel troops besieging the Navy Province."
Soon, gunshots were heard outside, as well as faint shouts of "Tianchu".
Saito Minoru seemed to have lost his soul and had no reaction at all.
Mitsumasa Yoneuchi quickly ran to the window to see the situation.
At the gate of the Navy Province, the guards were fighting fiercely with a group of rebels.
Under the banner of "Tenchu" and shouting slogans such as "Tenchu Saito", "Tenchu Ijuin", "Tenchu Yamamoto" and other slogans, these rebels are storming the Navy Ministry.
The rebels fired fiercely, and even dragged out several infantry cannons.
The Navy Ministry guards could no longer withstand it.
Because these guards are more dependent on their nature and do not have any heavy equipment, they usually have no problem guarding against thieves, but in this situation, they are paralyzed.
"Baga, these are the bastards of the Army.
Are they trying to add insult to injury now?"
Mitsumasa Yoneuchi cursed after just a few glances.
Although the rebels did not wear military uniforms, it could be seen from their equipment and fighting methods that they were all army dungeons.
"Sir Saito, it was the Army Red Deer who started the riot.
Let's leave as soon as possible and mobilize the Marine Corps immediately."
Mitsumasa Yoneuchi quickly called the guards, picked up Saito Minoru and ran towards the back door.
"Asshole, do the guys from the Army want to rebel?"
Sure enough, as soon as he heard about the trouble in the Army, Saito Minoru immediately regained his energy.
"We will go to the port immediately and mobilize the marines to suppress it."
In fact, not only the Navy Ministry, but also the Military Command and the Prime Minister's Residence were besieged by the rebels.
The farce continued until the evening, when the Army and Marine Corps worked together to suppress it.
The imperial meeting that night naturally turned into a quarreling meeting between the army and the navy.
In fact, the Minister of War and several other army bosses also felt that they were wronged.
They had no prior knowledge of this farce.
Even if they were dissatisfied with the Navy, they would never do such a stupid thing.
This matter was all done privately by a few young and middle-aged officers.
However, in the Japanese Army, this kind of "walking alone" is too common, and it happens every now and then.
It can be said that it is a repertoire loved by the people in the Japanese political arena.
However, because of this incident, their original plan to impeach the Navy had to be suspended.
There is no way, this matter is indeed unreasonable, and the momentum that the army bosses who were preparing to make a big fuss has weakened a bit.
However, just as the Army was preparing to launch an attack, it was interrupted by sudden bad news.
An attendant hurried in and handed a telegram to Prime Minister Yamamoto Gonbei.
Yamamoto Gonbei read the telegram and said expressionlessly: "Taipei and Kaohsiung have fallen, the 13th Division and the 19th Division have been nearly wiped out.
Now Taiwan has no available troops.
It seems that Taiwan It can’t be saved.”
For Japan, after the combined fleet is completely destroyed, Taiwan will definitely not be saved.
Therefore, the news did not arouse much reaction.
After all, the news that the combined fleet was completely destroyed at noon had already made them mentally prepared.
However, Chief of Staff Hasegawa Yoshichichi was still prepared to add trouble to the Navy.
He slapped the table and said angrily: "Hmph, if it weren't for the Navy's incompetence, how could the situation in Taiwan be like this?
In five days, China sent 3 divisions and 2 The brigade arrived in Taiwan.

But we haven’t added a single soldier since the war began.
Although the imperial soldiers are loyal and brave, they can’t stop the continuous flow of Chinese troops.”
Military Commander Goro Ijuin said with a cold face: "Huh, as far as I know, the Thirteenth Division was beaten by half of China's Seventh Division and fled in panic.
If they hadn't huddled in Taipei and fought on the streets, they would have been annihilated long ago.
The 19th Division was even more cowardly.
It couldn't even defend the defensive positions it had built for many years.
It was completely routed by China's 13th Division.
They actually ran away shamefully, turning their backs to the enemy."
Hasegawa retorted nicely: "Asshole, that's because the Chinese used a new type of armored fighting vehicle, a tank that can run like a ship on the sea.
That kind of tank rushed directly to the beach, and our soldiers never Having seen something like this, it’s forgivable to have no corresponding response.”
"That's enough, stop arguing."
Although Yamamoto Gonbei was overwhelmed by the bad news one after another, the most important thing at this time was not the quarrel, but how to deal with the aftermath.
Even when I just received the news that Navy veteran Togo Heihachiro had committed seppuku, he didn't even bother sending people to express condolences to his family.
"After the failure of the combined fleet, China has now launched a full-scale attack.
This morning, a Chinese division landed in Okinawa.
They also had 6 battleships to assist.
There were not many defenders in Okinawa, only one mixed brigade, and now it is almost The same goes for the situation where Kantung Prefecture cannot be defended.
Now China deliberately does not attack and keeps bombing with aircraft and airships.
According to today's report, the Eighth Division and the Seventeenth Division have suffered heavy losses.
The original 65,000 defenders are still there.
There are less than 20,000 combat-effective people left.”
"The situation in North Korea is also very bad.
Currently, there are four divisions of the Chinese army entering North Korea.
According to reliable information, there are still two divisions and one brigade in preparation.
Now that Pyongyang has been lost, the Chinese army is marching towards Seoul.
And North Korea The rebels have always been very active.
After the war started, they became more violent.
These rebels involved a large number of troops."
Yamamoto Gonbei looked pale and said slowly: "The situation is extremely critical now.
The army and navy must unite sincerely to allow the empire to overcome this difficulty."
Minister of the Interior Yuan Jing said: "Your Excellency Prime Minister, I think it is better to ask the United Kingdom to come forward.
Even if they are unwilling to participate in the war, it will not be good for them if the empire fails completely."
"I went to the British Embassy early in the morning, and their reply was that they were negotiating with the Chinese government on mediation matters, but the ambassador also said that this time because our situation is ugly, the Chinese people will definitely open their mouths."
Foreign Minister Makino Shenxian said in a dry voice.
Army Minister Yasutsuna Kigoshi asked: "What conditions will the Chinese people probably propose?"
The army is now suffering successive defeats, with at least ten times more people dying than the navy.
Coupled with the farce of "lower defeating superior" staged today, the army bosses are also Lost his temper.
Nobu Makino said bitterly: "Taiwan, Kanto Prefecture, and the Manchurian Railway dependencies will definitely not be saved.
These were ceded by China before, and they will definitely take them back.
Even if we don't do it, they will take it for themselves."
He thought for a while and said: "We can only try our best to protect North Korea and Okinawa now.
I am prepared."
At this moment, the attendant ran in again.
Holding a telegram in his hand, he said with a pale face: "The fall of Naha, the entire Okinawa mixed brigade is in pieces."
"Bang!"

The tea cup in Tibetan Minister Takahashi Korekiyo's hand dropped.
There was a sudden silence in the conference room, everyone looked at me and I looked at you.
Suddenly, the door was pushed open again, and a figure stumbled in.
Makino took a look and saw that it was his foreign minister.
He quickly asked: "What's wrong with you?"
"Your Excellency, I'm sorry.
The British Embassy just conveyed an urgent message.
The China Pacific Combined Fleet and the Shanghai Provisional Task Force are heading towards our country, and their destination may be Tokyo."
"What?"
At this moment, even Yamamoto Gonbei couldn't sit still.
Now the Japanese Navy still has dozens of obsolete old ships and a bunch of small boats.
If the battleships of the Chinese Navy come over, these ships will not be able to stop them at all.
The Chinese navy does not need to land at all.
It only needs to fire a few cannons on important cities such as Tokyo, and things will be a big deal.
"This won't work.
If China's battleships bombard the palace, we will all be sinners."
Yamamoto Gonbei also panicked.
He quickly ordered: "Immediately lay mines in several important waterways such as Tokyo Bay and the Seto Inland Sea.
All coastal defense guns will also be mined."
Entering the first level of combat readiness, all ships capable of combat must immediately gather in Tokyo.
They must not be allowed to bombard the palace under any circumstances."
"The Army is also preparing for combat immediately.
The remaining units such as the Guards Division and the First Division have all entered first-level combat readiness and reserves will be mobilized immediately."
After arranging the military affairs, Yamamoto Gonbei immediately said to Makino Nobuhan: "Foreign Minister, please make sure that the United Kingdom mediates, even if you make more concessions, please."
Yamamoto Gonbei knew very well that Japan is an island country, and once the navy fails, the war will no longer be fought.
If he continues to hold on, his death will be even worse, and even the arrogant Army will not speak.
"Yes, I can only do my best."
Makino Nobu showed an ugly expression.
People engaged in diplomacy are most afraid of encountering this kind of defeat.
Once the army is defeated and wants to ask for peace, there will only be a lot of bloodshed.
Especially with the old grudges between China and Japan, he can fully imagine how harsh China's conditions will be.
He couldn't help but think of Li Hongzhang, who signed the Treaty of Shimonoseki back then.
He must have been regarded as a "traitor" this time:
