Republic of China: Our great warlord has many children and many blessings

Previously, on August 28, the Japanese 18th Division set out from Nagasaki.

On September 2, its vanguard troops landed at Longkou in the northern part of the Jiaodong Peninsula.

It was not until today, September 14, that the cavalry reconnaissance force arrived at Jimo.

On September 18, another Japanese force landed at Yangkou Bay, east of Qingdao.

The British army also landed here. They joined forces and then advanced towards Qingdao.

It was not until September 24 that the main force of the Japanese army assembled in Jimo.

The Japanese army expelled the Beiyang troops along the way. Wherever they went, they raped, burned, killed, plundered and committed all kinds of evil.

The Japanese were full of confidence in capturing Qingdao.

Because there was British military assistance, and Germany was isolated in the Far East.

Therefore, at the same time that the main force of the Japanese army set off, many prisoner of war camps began to be built across Japan in preparation for accepting German prisoners of war.

Since the Meiji Restoration, Japan's national policy has been to leave Asia and join Europe. Therefore, Japan still has a good attitude towards foreign powers, even in a hostile state.

Being attacked by Japan and the United Kingdom from both sides, the pressure on German Ambassador to China Mader doubled.

All the previous conditions were no longer required, so on behalf of the German government, he negotiated with Beiyang Yuan Datou and was willing to return the leased Jiaozhou Bay to Beiyang unconditionally.

As long as the Beiyang government agrees to transport German troops back to Germany (by detouring through a third country) and ensure the safety of Germans in China.

But Yuan Datou also wants Qingdao.

However, Japan's Minister to China, Masuzu Hioki, took the initiative to find Sun Baoqi, the Minister-General of Foreign Affairs.

Direct warning: Firmly opposed to Beiyang's takeover of Qingdao, and also threatened if Yuan Datou dared to send troops to take back Qingdao.

They supported Sun Dapao, Huang Xing, Jiang Tuzi and other members of the Tongmenghui in Japan to deal with the Beiyang government.

This made Yuan Datou give up the idea of ​​taking back Qingdao.

Although Yuan Datou wanted to regain Qingdao, what he didn't want to see more than this was the rise of Sun, Huang and others from the Tongmenghui, which would affect his status.

Furthermore, because the World War has just begun (although the Asian battlefield has not yet been engaged in combat), the bloody battle between the Allies and the Entente has just begun.

If the Germans win, the foreign government cannot afford to offend the Germans.

The Allies won, and the Beiyang government could not afford to offend Britain, France, Japan, and Russia.

The Beiyang government has come up with a compromise plan. If a third country takes over this hot potato, then these problems will be solved.

Yuan Datou's idea was to let the Americans take over Qingdao, and no one would be offended.

The United States has a colony in the Philippines with a natural port in Asia, so Qingdao is of little significance to them.

Of course, we don't want to disturb the muddy waters of the Allies and the Entente.

This willing request of the Beiyang government was directly rejected.

When peace talks failed, German Emperor Wilhelm II ordered a counterattack.

Let all Germans in Qingdao fight to defend Qingdao.

Faced with the fierce Japanese attack, the German Governor in Qingdao, Melwadek, personally issued an order, requiring the German army to fight to the last man and live or die with Qingdao.

The whole country began to pay attention to this battle.

Shen Hao is naturally no exception.

A total of more than 50,000 troops were dispatched by the Little Devils and the Eagle Kingdom, while the total number of German troops was less than 5,000. The strength of both sides was ten to one.

But apart from having few soldiers, the Germans really have no other shortcomings.

After all, the German military-industrial defense system is definitely world-class.

In the south of Qingdao, the Germans also built a coastal defense line, lining up from west to east, built Tuandao Fort, Taixi Town Fort, Yamen Fort, Qingdao Mountain Fort, Qingdao Mountain Fort, and Huiquan Corner. Forts, five forts form an all-round defense system.

There are not only five forts, but also five fortresses, namely Xiaozhan Mountain Fortress, Xiaozhan Mountain North Fortress, Central Fortress, Taitung Town Fortress and Coastal Fortress.

The entire defense system is impregnable, and each fortress is equipped with a cannon with a minimum caliber of 150 mm and a maximum caliber of 240 mm.

It's not just these fortresses.

It is also equipped with field hospitals, power plants, arsenals and complete communication systems. The Germans have worked hard on Qingdao's defense system.

Moreover, the layout of the fortress also has the quality of construction. The fort can be raised and lowered and rotated 360 degrees. There is an ammunition depot, a medical room, soldiers’ dormitories, duty rooms, war rooms, telecommunications rooms, ventilation systems, and heating inside the fort. system.

Soldiers could also take a bath inside, and there was a huge boiler inside the fort that could also provide heating.

When Shen Hao traveled to Qingdao, he was shocked when he saw the German military-industrial defense system during this war.

At the same time, internal intelligence in Qingdao was also passed on.

After reading the information, Shen Hao understood that the German guy probably didn't care about the telegram he sent. (To read Baoshuang novels, go to Feilu Novel Network!)

Of course, Shen Hao was not helping the Germans out of kindness.

Shen Hao's strategy is not to let one side be too weak, otherwise it will be over before the fight even begins.

Shen Hao wanted Germany to make some peace and fight with the Japanese for a while longer. It would be best to kill tens of thousands of Japanese like Tsarist Russia.

If possible, Shen Hao would even be willing to provide free arms and food to support the Germans.

The harder you kill, the happier Shen Hao will be.

Anyway, in Shen Hao's view, neither the Germans, nor the Japanese, nor the British are good people.

The Germans already regard Qingdao as their own. No matter who wins between Japan and Germany, it will be a great shame for Beiyang.

Shen Hao couldn't help it, but he could only wait.

In order to resist the little Japanese, the German government forcibly detained tens of thousands of Qingdao people to build forts and fortifications, just like slaves.

The Japanese army was even worse than before. Every time they marched to a place, they would definitely rob people of their money, rape women, and commit all kinds of evil.

In terms of intelligence, the war situation between Japan and Germany was reported every day, but Shen Hao could only sit in the general's mansion and wait, making Shen Hao bored.

The girls saw that Shen Hao was in a bad mood, so they decided to let the four girls Wang Keqin sing for Shen Hao.

In the back garden, Shen Hao sat among the girls, watching Wang Keqin, Xiao Lanying, Yao Yulan, and Yao Yuying, mother and daughter, singing Huarong Tao together.

Shen Hao didn't understand drama, and he didn't know much about it. I like it, but I find it boring looking at the few spectators in the courtyard.

Seeing that Huang Qiying and others looked at it so seriously and liked it so much, they said:"Today, you are allowed to bring your family members here."

Huang Qiying and others felt happy and hurriedly said:"Thank you, General Shen."

You must know Wang Keqin, Xiao Lanying, Yao Yulan , Yao Yuying, mother and daughter. Before they became Aunt Shen Hao's wife, they were all famous actors.

In particular, Wang Keqin's reputation has spread all over the country and has countless theater fans.

It has been performed in Tianjin, Beijing, Shanghai, Han and other places before, and many royal nobles and literati were fascinated by it.

Ordinary people can't hear Wang Keqin's plays at all, and it's hard to get a ticket. Since marrying Shen Hao, it's even more of a luxury.

Being able to hear Wang Keqin's plays is what many people dream of.

Soon, everyone came over with their family members.

Huang Qiying also returned home and called Huang Feihong and Aunt Thirteen.

When Huang Feihong heard that it was Wang Keqin's play, he was immediately surprised and said:"It's the Wang family. That's great. I want to hear it too. Now that I'm back at school, they should all envy me."

Seeing the two father and son so excited, Thirteen My aunt was also very curious and said:"I also want to hear"

"Okay, remember, don't cause trouble when you go there. The General's Mansion is no better than home, where the rules are strict. Don't offend people you shouldn't offend.

Of course, General Shen is also reasonable and will not follow suit.Bully others," Huang Qiying warned;

"Wow, come on, dad, I can’t bear it anymore," Huang Feihong said excitedly;

"Okay, then you guys sit tight and I’ll drive."
