Chapter 62: The Opportunity Can't Be Missed

The two ships arrived in Tokyo, well, now Edo, on July 17, 1644. Maybe it was because there were too many people, many messes, and the tonnage was too heavy, which made the time and space tunnel a little blocked. It took these Japanese guys a little longer to travel.

Given that Tokyo has changed back to Edo and time has become July 17, 1644, Hashimoto Taichiro immediately convened a meeting of people on two ships. The main members of the meeting were right-wing elements. When they saw the 17th century, they were astonished and were as if they were injected with chicken blood. They were excited. They said and said something, and began to plan ambitiously how to dominate the world in the 17th century.

However, after much discussion, there are only three options.

The first type is to defect to the Tokugawa Shogunate, transform the Tokugawa Shogunate, then unify Japan, and then expand to the outside world.

The second type is to surrender to the Emperor, overthrow the Tokugawa shogunate, imitate the people's governance and restoration, and then unify Japan and dominate the world.

The third type is to stand on your own, conquer all of Japan, and then dominate the world.

Of course, there are also guys who don’t know the current affairs. For example, Xiong Kuroshima, the chief engineer of the "Master Valley", proposed at the meeting that such good conditions are worse than doing business and making money. Everyone can become a wealthy person in the world. Why not do it? As soon as this said, it was immediately flooded by everyone’s saliva. One guy even took off his shoes in anger and wanted to beat this bad person, but others held him back. This man who wanted to be a rich man quickly silenced and never dared to offend the public's anger again.

The hard-core right-winger Daisuke Fujino stood up, danced and scolded the Tokugawa Shogunate for being closed to the country, short-sighted and very authoritarian. He had no future with the Tokugawa Shogunate, and it was better to establish himself than to defect to him.

But after establishing himself, the question arises when the Americans think of what kind of regime to establish. Like the separation of powers by the Americans? Or constitutional monarchy? There is a group of people in the right wing who are extremely hating the United States. Some even claim that the first target of external expansion should choose North America. In the past life, the United States occupied Japan. Now that there is a chance, the land in the United States must be occupied, and there must be no more powerful enemies like the United States.

Henglu Jingsan suggested:

"If you want to come quickly, it is better to support the Emperor and engage in constitutional monarchy. Anyway, the 12-year-old Emperor Shaoren is also a puppet in the hands of the Tokugawa Shogunate. Now, if you change the good reputation of constitutional monarchy, Shaoren can act as a good shield, and with a sign of holy war for the Emperor, how to dominate the world is not our time travelers have the final say!"

The emperor has always been a symbol of Japan, and this proposal is a good idea for these militants.

Since you want to support the Emperor, you have to defeat the Tokugawa family.

After counting the number of people traveling through time, there are 59 people on the "Okumaru" whaling ship and 94 people on the "Zhenggu". There are not only those people on the "Zhenggu". It was just because some scientific and technological researchers who didn't catch a cold on the right wing took a break on excuses. 57 people went there at once, accounting for more than half of the technicians. The rest are at least inclined to the right wing. This is good, it's better if the guys with unstable positions don't want it.

Let’s count the equipment. The "Zhenggu" has two helicopters, each equipped with a pipe-type machine gun, a deep-water manned submersible, a manned submersible with a diving depth of 500 meters, and a submersible robot that can dive 6,500 meters. It also contains 30 people from the Self-Defense Force, equipped with fifteen rocket launchers, three machine guns, three sniper rifles, thirty submachine guns, and melon grenades. Compared with the firearms of the 17th century, these weapons are far ahead. However, although the weapons are advanced, the number is too small. It would be better if it were replaced by two King Kong-class destroyers.

Of course, this is not bad now, and it can help the emperor regain his dignity, let Japan dominate the world, and complete unfinished careers in future generations.

Although the dream is great, you have to calm down when facing reality. Being war does not mean being idiot. So the result of the negotiation is to go to Kyoto first, and then attack the Tokugawa shogunate after obtaining the support of the emperor.

Insufficient fuel is a big problem. Originally, the fuel of the "Masaya" was designed with a super reserve design, with a range of 15,000 nautical miles, much further than the 4,500 nautical miles of the King Kong-class destroyer. However, after a while in Antarctica, the fuel is only half of it. There is no fuel supplement in this era, so it is obvious that it needs to save routinely on fuel issues. Despite this, helicopters were used, and the "temporary crossing cabinet" led by Hashimoto sent Daisuke Fujino to Kyoto to pay homage to Emperor Houming.

Emperor Shaoren thought that when he saw a god, he felt this way when he saw a big iron bird that could fly into the sky. Since the gods wanted to support themselves, they were disrespectful and felt guilty. They were enough puppets. Now even the gods couldn't stand it. It seemed that they had hope of becoming more powerful. What did Fujino Daisuke say, what would the emperor do? Good, good! So great!

Hashimoto received a telegram from Fujino Daisuke, so the crowd was excited and immediately changed the "Shiko" to the "Yamato", shouting "Emperor onboard" and sailing straight to Osaka on two ships.

The Emperor rewarded a bay in Osaka to these people who claimed to be loyal to him, and let Hashimoto's magic ship enter this place. It is really unreasonable to say that it is a port. However, for the ambitious people, this is just the first step. With the puppet of the Emperor, the prospect of the road to hegemony is bright.

After Hashimoto became a disciple of Emperor Shaoren, he formally formed a cabinet, served as prime minister and temporarily served as the Minister of Navy, and Daisuke Fujino served as the Minister of the Army.

Starting from August, Fujino Daisuke began to recruit soldiers and train 3,000 troops. The problem was that even if the emperor was not a pauper, he would never have enough money to support the army. Hashimoto then remembered Kuroshi Kuroshi, who had dreamed of becoming a rich guy, and he was responsible for making money. At the same time, he dispatched helicopters and robbed Ishimi Ginyama and gained his first pot of gold. At the same time, the scientific and technological personnel who traveled through the journey began to develop weapons and also made some civilian products for Kuroshi Kuroshi to make money.

Two months later, the Emperor Guards, equipped with new shotguns, began to conquer the Tokugawa Shogunate.

There were helicopters and piping machine guns in the sky, submachine guns and melon grenades on the ground, and all resistance was futile. The Emperor's Guards swept away fallen leaves like autumn wind, which made the Tokugawa Shogunate have no power to fight back. The last straw that overwhelmed the camel was the launch of the Yamato. In front of the divine ship "Yamato" and the divine power of the spiral birds flying in the sky, although the gunship of the Tokugawa Shogunate at Edo Port made a series of meaningless resistances, they had to surrender in the end.

It was only a matter of time before the Tokugawa Shogunate was destroyed and then conquered the various vassals. It would take some time to talk about the story of dog biting dogs, so it would be fine if you didn't.

But it must be said that Hashimoto has just cleaned up the Tokugawa shogunate and has not yet integrated the affairs of Japan, he has begun to target Zheng Zhilong. Zheng Zhilong's navy is rampant in East Asia and has become Hashimoto's confidant at this moment. If Zheng Zhilong's navy cannot be destroyed, the next step of leaving North Korea and occupying Taiwan will be controlled. Therefore, the next top priority is to destroy Zheng Zhilong's navy.

However, the things in the Ming Dynasty seemed a bit inconsistent with history. China in history was in chaos, so let them go. When they were freed up, they followed the eternal path to take North Korea first and then occupy the Northeast. That's what Toyotomi Hideyoshi thought, and so did Emperor Hirohito during World War II.

However, from the news from the Ming Dynasty, Emperor Chongzhen Zhu Youjian did not hang himself like in history, but ran to Nanjing. The Tatars did not destroy the rebellious leader Li Zicheng in one fell swoop, but instead remained stalemate. Now there is a situation similar to the Three Kingdoms. This is a bit confusing! In this regard, the technical authority Shigeji Hirotani suspected that he had traveled to another parallel time and space. The engineers quarreled for a long time and did not come to a correct conclusion. There are many different opinions about whether there were time travelers in the Ming Dynasty, but judging from the situation I learned, it seems that this is true.

Hashimoto's vision was originally just aimed at Zheng Zhilong's fleet, but Li Zicheng and the Tatars did not take it seriously at all for the Ming Dynasty. Now the situation has changed, and the Ming Dynasty also seemed to have travelers, which must be taken seriously.

Hashimoto sent a spy and brought a hand-charged radio station. In the name of his relatives of Zheng Zhilong's wife, Takawa, to Fuzhou. Unfortunately, the radio station had limited power and could only send ships to receive information at sea regularly. In addition, a spy who pretended to be a monk came to Nanjing, and after getting the information, he was sent to Fuzhou, and then forwarded it back through Fuzhou. Of course, it was no secret for Hashimoto to have shotguns and thunder throwers in the Ming Dynasty, and Hashimoto did not take this seriously at all. In this era, helicopters and redirected machine guns were invincible in the era when the other party had only shotguns, so what if the other party created a rifle!

This Japanese monk called himself a master of information reconnaissance, and it was really hard for him to do some information. His Chinese with a Japanese accent was too lame, which was several levels worse than Kenji Doihara later, so he read newspapers and listened to storytelling, and made some information based on this. When Wang Chengen arranged for the Jinyiwei to investigate a spy, the master of information reconnaissance was exposed in one fell swoop. This is a later statement, so I will not express it.

Hashimoto, based on the information he collected, predicted that the time travelers of the Ming Dynasty were at the same level and could not cause any big waves.

The only thing worth worrying about is the fuel problem, and the fuel brought with it cannot withstand a few tosses. Hirotani Shigeji claimed that there will be a way soon, but when will the diesel be refined from the coal be counted after it is successfully refined.

But I couldn't take care of so much. The original plan was to arrange it calmly and find an opportunity to rush into the port of Zheng Zhilong Navy and eliminate the Ming Dynasty's navy in one fell swoop. However, after receiving the information that Emperor Chongzhen personally sent to Taiwan, since Emperor Chongzhen came to seek death in person, this was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, and the new plan turned into a sea interception. Assuming that Chongzhen was a time traveler, it was already questionable that he had not hanged himself. Regardless of capturing or killing this Emperor Chongzhen, this person must be eliminated anyway. This is the top priority. The opportunity must not be missed, and the time must not be returned, and it must not be let go.

Due to limited fuel, the "Okumaru" stayed in Osaka.

Hashimoto was on the Yamato at this moment. The radar showed that after the Ming Dynasty navy divided into two groups, sixty large ships and thirty small ships headed north and headed straight to the northern end of Taiwan. Hashimoto decided to keep the "Yamato" and the Ming fleets, and waited until the two Ming fleets were farthest apart before launching a fatal blow.

Chongzhen felt a vague sense of danger, but so far, no changes were found. The reconnaissance ship sent back to report, and everything was as usual between the chicken coop and Tamsui. Chongzhen breathed a sigh of relief. It seemed that the Japanese were not ready. That was fine.

Chongzhen asked Zheng Hongkui to order the fleet to advance at full speed and take Taipei. Zheng Hongkui has experienced a long naval battle and insisted on bringing more 30 small boats to be prepared for any eventuality. The functions of these small boats cannot be underestimated. During previous naval battles, whenever the war is intensified, the role of the small boats will be reflected. Several small boats carry tincture oil and flammable objects, quickly approach the enemy ship to carry out fire attacks, and often wins. This time, Zheng Hongkui was more careful and did not dare to be negligent.

Chongzhen held the binoculars made by Sun Yuanball and looked into the distance from time to time. However, the sea was endless, and the sea and sky were connected in the distance, and nothing was found on the sea.
