Chapter 437: As powerful as Tsarist Russia, he was actually defeated by mosquitoes!
Failed?
How could Tsarist Russia lose?
How could Tsarist Russia in this period be defeated by Japan in this period?
When Li Mengyang learned about this news, he could not believe it, nor could he believe it. Even if Japan cheated, they would have only been in the Meiji Restoration for a few years? With such extraordinary development in a few years, there was no way to beat Tsarist Russia. Basically, people with some common sense in history would make such a judgment, but the news now is very conclusive.
Tsarist Russia is defeated!
Then how did it fail?
"We made great progress at the beginning when we came to this island, but I bet that God must have cursed this island! When our soldiers won victory after victory, we found that our bodies were not injured by bullets, but all kinds of problems arose!"
"Oh my God! It's so scary! Shaking, chilling...that's malaria!"
"Bones are hurt! It actually hurts! Some people's eyes hurt so much that they can't even cry..."
"The doctor finally came. I understand. It turned out to be malaria and dengue fever, God! What a terrible disease! My comrades and me, even the generals, have never encountered it before... Our Russian soldiers are not afraid of the cold! They are not afraid of the strong wind like a knife! We are extremely powerful! But now we realize that the little mosquitoes are so powerful!"
The above is the content in the diary, and the one who records all this is Makarov, a lucky guy, because he neither suffered from malaria nor had dengue fever. So, Makarov can really be said to have been blessed by God.
But however, Makarov's comrades were not so lucky. The 5,000 people landed in the entire Tsarist Russian army were so miserable. Not to mention the war, they were even infected with the epidemic, so they were close to the 4th floor!
Two thousand people are small, all of which are all kinds of diseases, the most common is dengue fever, and the second is malaria. As for those who are not accustomed to the local environment and vomiting and diarrhea, they are all very lucky.
It can be said that in terms of combat, the Tsarist Russian army did not suffer much loss. The Japanese soldiers were really weird. What they showed was like Yuuki Ito and Hirahachiro Togo on the sea, who were fearless and rushed forward. They were particularly fierce.
However, in front of an army with good training qualities, this kind of fighting is tantamount to suicide. Therefore, 5,000 Tsarist Russian soldiers are really a pleasure to kill, but it is a pity.
They were not defeated by the little Japanese, but were defeated by mosquitoes on Taiwan’s island!
Of course, Li Mengyang didn't know Makarov's diary, but there must be a lot of cases about the epidemic situation of the Tsarist Russian army, because no one would hide this matter. This is an important objective fact for the generals to shirk responsibility. Moreover, Tsar Alexander II also needed this reason, otherwise he would not even be able to defeat Japan, so he would not be able to bear Europe
Therefore, very early on, the failure caused by the non-combat reduction became a big news, and Li Mengyang obtained the news without any intelligence.
And when Li Mengyang saw this, the first thing he remembered was artemisinin!
Well, this thing can cure malaria, and those who study party history must know this thing, because it was actually created by the later generations of Taizu, who specially instructed Ms. Tu. It was still a period of disgust at that time, so it was strange that Li Mengyang didn't know it.
But, however, this artemisinin is not in a hurry, because there is something that can treat malaria now, that is, quinine and cinchona cream. Of course, this thing is really more expensive than gold now, and it has considerable side effects, but it can save people after all.
Perhaps the dengue fever is a bit difficult to deal with, because this disease was named by the British a few years ago. In the past, the whole world couldn't understand bone pain, eye pain, and fever, and it was still a death. What kind of disease is this? Of course, the treatment methods are lacking now.
However, we all know these diseases, and how could Tsarist Russia not know that there is this disease on the treasure island? That is, what about the mosquitoes that have this disease?
Tsarist Russia must know, but why is it still like this?
There is a detail here, that is, when Tsarist Russia landed on the treasure island, the temperature was relatively low!
Let me put it this way, malaria is still relatively fierce, and there are all islands, but dengue fever is actually found in the south of the treasure island. It is just a little bit short of the latitude, so mosquitoes in the south cannot get up.
The most interesting thing is that the landing of Tsarist Russia is in the south. The temperature here is relatively low this year. This low has made the mosquitoes grow more!
This mosquito is so weird. It’s too cold, but it’s too hot and there are fewer them.
In other words, Tsarist Russia is really unlucky enough!
But, however, there is a problem here!
Maybe the white people from Tsarist Russia have come because they are fresh foreign ‘species’, so mosquitoes like it very much, but what about the little Japanese?
Yes, they are also humans. Do mosquitoes complain about their blood odor?
This question really appeared in Li Mengyang's mind, but it was just a flash, because he immediately figured it out, and the reason was...
"For the Great Japanese Empire! For His Majesty the Emperor! What is sick? Just die if you die!"
Thinking about the comfort women later, some records were that they had to entertain more than 300 Japanese soldiers a day... It only took 4 minutes, and this waist was not good... This is a local Japanese woman!
Think about that wild boar-style charge!
Think about the Kamikaze Special Attack Team again!
To put it bluntly, it’s just that the little Japanese doesn’t care about dead people... Li Mengyang’s attribution is very accurate. It’s not that he is not afraid, but that he doesn’t care. They really don’t care who died...
Sure enough, not long after, the Japanese war report came out. During this Russo-Japanese War, the number of casualties exceeded 15,000, which did not include those who died of illness and were sick and disabled later!
It can be said that Japan suffered a lot in this small Russo-Japanese War. But they won. They were the winners!
"Victory belongs to His Majesty the Emperor!"
"His Majesty the Emperor" is on-load!"
"Your Majesty the Emperor is a god!"
No matter how the soldiers ahead won this victory, the Japanese public opinion community has already attributed the victory to the emperor. Not only that, but those soldiers later thought it was supreme glory.
"You can protect the territory for His Majesty the Emperor! This is our supreme glory!" Yuyuki Ito, who performed very well in this battle, said passionately.
"Always prepare to sacrifice yourself for His Majesty the Emperor!" The same is true for Hirahachiro Togo.
Not only that, there are people coming out to sing hymns!
"The victory over Tsarist Russia proves the development achievements of our Great Japanese Empire! Although we must admit that in terms of strength, our Great Japanese Empire is not as good as Tsarist Russia. But we can completely say that our Great Japanese Empire has entered the ranks of modern civilized countries..."
The person who posted this article was Fukuzawa Yukiki. He is now the top figure in the Japanese cultural circle. As long as he said it, it is correct.
Japan has developed and Japan has become modern, so how great is this!
After such a war, the entire Japan, whether it is the emperor or the common people, fell into a more crazy state. They felt that they were already a powerful country and could walk sideways in Asia. So...
It seems that there is a huge monster in Asia!
"China under the Qing government's rule is corrupt and cowardly! ... The Chinese are all a group of thieves, a group of beggars who are rude and do not know what civilization is. They are stingy, cunning, deceitful, and use all their best..."
Alas, this is the one Fukuzawa Yukichi!
So why does this guy have to be so damn?
"Our Great Japanese Empire should occupy China!... The prosperity of Asia should be the responsibility of our Great Japanese Empire! And that China should truly flourish under our education!"
Yes, this is the logic of Fukuzawa Yukichi. He is making an excuse for the Emperor!
But however, the Japanese Meiji Emperor was not stupid at this time. He knew that if he fought against that giant now, it would not be possible!
In Taiwan, there are only 5,000 Russian soldiers, but to the bigger China, haha, that is 450 million people!
No matter how unbearable that China is, it is not something that Japan can deal with now, that is, it can only be endured temporarily...
Well, it is also a difficult task to say that an act of invading other countries is so colorful.
But however, there is another important figure in this war, that is Yang Guangren...
"Hey~Brother Zhou, I really didn't expect that the Russians were so vulnerable! Alas~"
When the Russians defeated Taiwan Island, Yang Guangren was even more depressed than the Russians. In fact, this is true, because once the Russians ran away, Taiwan's large-scale interests would be at most people under the roof.
In Yang Guangren's view, this definitely affects the future development of his Baxing Party, but Zhou Zili, the military advisor who listened to Yang Guangren's complaints from the Chairman of the Baxing Party, laughed.
"Brother Yang, you don't have to be depressed. We didn't get any benefits in this battle, but, I read some of the emperor's doctrines before, and I found a very good one..."
"That emperor?"
Before Zhou Zili could finish his speech, Yang Guangren interrupted him because he cared about the words "that emperor".
"That's right, it's the American Emperor!" Zhou Zili said this with a smile on his face.
"Ah?" Yang Guangren really didn't want to hear the news about this person at this time, but the one in front of him was his military advisor, so he couldn't ignore it. So he was just surprised and stopped saying anything.
Zhou Zili naturally understood it, but he still had to say: "I read his theory, and I think we have hope of reviving the Han Dynasty now!"
"What?"
Is there hope of reviving the Han Dynasty? Could it be... (To be continued...)
ps: Thank you very much for Brother Feng’s rewards, as well as your monthly tickets and support. Thank you for the black car!
Well, I won’t talk about shopping for now. I’ve bought two or three shopping carts for half a year. I feel so distressed after buying them two or three. Hey~
