"On February 5, 1881, I saw the Korean envoy above. The Korean envoy was Queen Min, the concubine of the King of Korea... During the conversation, the two sides were quite harmonious... However, the topic involved sending troops to North Korea to attack the Japanese army. Queen Min boldly approached the emperor, lifted her shirt and exposed her chest... The emperor was kind and couldn't bear to catch a cold... The emperor insisted on defending the bottom line..."

Li Mengyang is now the emperor of the Pacific Rim Federation, he is already a priest, so someone will record his words and deeds.

This rule has been called a long time ago. Li Mengyang originally wanted to cut off such a person, but everyone below opposed it.

Well, it's simply...

However, Li Mengyang must swear to the sky and to his four wives who were thousands of miles away.

We really have kept the bottom line!

Li Mengyang really didn't expect that Queen Min was so bold that she would openly dare to do this, but to be honest, she had been in the deep palace for so long...

Li Mengyang swears to the sky and swears to his four wives that he really didn't do anything to sorry for them!

The main reason is that Xiao Shanzi is in this palace. Oh, this father can't mess with the palace, right?

Well, there are many things that are hard to say, mainly because I am afraid that the incident will happen in the future and it will be difficult to explain to my wives. But now, Queen Min... to be honest, she looks quite average, but those two big steamed buns are really not small, so she is a dough.

Cough cough... Although Li Mengyang has defended the bottom line, Queen Min is so urgent. So I have to consider the issue of fighting North Korea. So, what should I do?

"Your Majesty! Let me go! Look at me, I have led soldiers and fought wars, and they are much better than the guys in the court. I guess fighting Japanese soldiers in North Korea, then I have to establish a good relationship with the locals in North Korea. Looking at the map, there are mountain roads, so this soldier doesn't need too many, there are about 10,000 or 20,000 people..."

At this time, in the Hall of Supreme Harmony, the one who was talking about in front of Li Mengyang was not someone else, but Yuan Shikai, the big head!

Why do you remember this guy coming?

Li Mengyang remembers it very clearly. Yuan Shikai seems to be rising in North Korea. Maybe this guy is really a good guy to fight North Korea, but this guy is so young.

Yuan Shikai is really twenty-seven-red now, and he really has a little bit of a childish temperament, but when he thinks that this guy has led a army of 300,000 before, it seems that this matter is relatively reliable.

"Are you really sure?" Li Mengyang still had to ask.

"Your Majesty! You are absolutely sure, but I heard of the Japanese army's group charge tactics. As long as we fight hard, there will still be a chance in this battle."

You really don’t know that Yuan Shikai has learned some research on the Japanese army, yes. The battle in Shanhaiguan before was too tragic.

The Japanese army's fighting style is simply too strange. It is completely filled with human lives. It doesn't matter how the soldiers live or die. As long as they fight such an opponent, it seems that as long as they have excellent defense, excellent weapons, and strong firepower, they should be fine.

But Li Mengyang knew that little Japanese are not fools. They gradually found out their experiences. If there are too many people, they will learn everything.

"Okay, go and try it. I'll leave the newly compiled First Army of China to you." Li Mengyang simply waved his hand.

The newly compiled First Army of China, this name... Needless to say, the first and second are all created by Li Mengyang, which is convenient... This army is mainly militia and underground cadres of the Civic Party in the capital. These people were trained by Li Mengyang before.

It should be said that there are many troops across the country now, more than 1 million, but it is not time to reorganize them now. The number of troops is temporary. As long as you can raise the supplies and send military pay, that's fine.

There is no way. The whole country was in chaos before, but now it has just improved a little, that's all.

So, the matter on the mainland has been done almost, just let Yuan Shikai do it. Li Mengyang continues to preside over the leadership of the deep palace, and the market restart in Greater China is now in the investment stage of large-scale industrial projects.

For now, the first step in this large-scale industrial investment is of course to establish a steel plant. To talk about this steel, China is still OK, and there are still a lot of coal and iron ore. Now, with the technology from the United States, it is basically almost the same to transport some equipment funds directly.

It's simple, but it's not easy to do it. All the staff must be trained, the place must be chosen, and some things must be built. Anyway, it's really a lot of things.

But, however, there was an incident that particularly surprised Li Mengyang...

In April 1881, a fleet of ray plaster flags were sailing neatly on the endless sea.

"Dongxiangjun! What are your luck in our martial arts trip?"

"Kun Ito! I believe we will definitely rely on the divine power of His Majesty the Emperor to complete this mission!"

"That's right! This time we move to Honolulu, we must have been unaware of it!"

"That's right! Haha..."

Togo? Ito?

The two people who spoke on the ship were both of the Colonel's ranks. However, they were all from the Japanese Navy, namely the Satsuma clan people from Kagoshima, which were Yuyuki Ito and Hirahachiro Togo!

Honolulu?!

It is precisely that the fleet led by these two guys has a total of 20 ships, which are approaching Honolulu at this time, and their purpose this time...

"That Pacific Rim Federation is ridiculous! What federation? Does it take our Great Japanese Empire into consideration?"

"That's right! They are simply too arrogant, especially the emperor named Li Mengyang!"

To be honest, Li Mengyang really doesn't know how to offend these two people.

But however, Japan is basically crazy on this island now, which is difficult to understand. What are these two people doing now?

"The people of Changzhou performed so badly before! Our Satsuma clan must teach that empire a good lesson!"

"That's right! Those fools in Changzhou are so stupid, and our Satsuma family will occupy the entire Pacific Ocean!"

Did they come to take revenge? What is their strength?

Judging from the entire situation of the warship, the main warships of this fleet are still iron-packed, not completely iron-clad ships. But now, if the Pacific Rim Federation is on the side of the United States, it is already a navy of iron-clad ships. So how can this battle be fought?

Even Yuuki Ito and Heihachiro Togo are of some level. But with such a big gap in strength, how can we smooth it out?

"Okay! It's almost done!"

"That's right! We should have used secret weapons!"

Secret weapon?

I saw the Japanese fleet, some of their ships had something behind them, were they connected with cables... or ships!

But this ship is different. This ship is all made of iron armor and has a very special appearance, as if...

It looks like a submarine!

Really, if Li Mengyang was here, he would definitely see it. These guys should be submarines, but these submarines are a bit small, which can be said to be very small!

The biggest one is about 10 meters long, that's it. So what exactly is this submarine going to do?

"Turn Jiji!"

At the command of Yuyuki Ito, his secret weapons, almost 8 submarines, went out in an instant!

The submarine, which is about 10 meters long, was released directly. As for their destination, it was probably Honolulu, but the distance was a bit far.

There are almost 100 nautical miles, but you really don't know that after these submarines get into the water, they can really dive, but in terms of speed and power.

Huff! Huff!

The submarine was full of breathing sounds. What are you doing?

Pedal!

This is the driving force of these submarines, which means that people should provide forward momentum like pedaling a tricycle.

In fact, submarines of this era are quite high-tech, and this is really a top-notch thing. Not many people have seen submarines.

The first time the world has used submarines in war was the American Civil War. There is such a submarine in the south, but it sank underwater with the ships of its opponents.

This is the only example of submarine warfare so far. This thing is like this now, but the information about this submarine has been left behind.

By the way, there is relevant information in the United States, and this from Japan...

Didn’t Sheng Haizhou study in the United States? He just got the information about this submarine by chance, but later Li Mengyang came on stage, and this thing became a secret.

It doesn't matter if it's confidential. I've seen it anyway, but... it's really not easy to make this thing.

However, the Japanese are lucky now. The information in the United States is not complete, but the information in some places is quite good!

There was a man named Daoist Chen in the former Qing Dynasty. He drew a picture, which was the conceptual picture of the submarine, but this thing was not built!

It was too late. Before, the whole country was making trouble, constitutional reforms and other things were happening. Later, Li Mengyang entered the Forbidden City, so this picture was completely meaningless, and it was seen by several Japanese lurking in China.

This thing is great!

As soon as they looked, these Japanese people thought the goods were very affordable, so they redeemed the thing from the pawnshop at a very cheap price.

Well, because Taoist Chen lives a bad life, he can be regarded as a person.

So, this American submarine information met the submarine information of the Qing Dynasty again, which was really a perfect match!

It was created that Japan's steel production was the highest in Asia at this time. Although the number was not large, it was also possible to build this submarine. This thing was not very big. Moreover, the submarines now rely on human power to promote it.

The little Japanese doesn't care about people, how much people suffer from it, it's easy. So, there was such a time, it seemed like an ant was shaking an elephant. Yuuki Ito and Heihachiro Togo were going to attack Hunululu!

Rumble! Rumble!

On April 21, 1881, a loud noise came from the harbor of Honolulu! (To be continued.)
