Chapter 236 Bombing Tokyo
Captain Wang nodded and said, "That's right. Although the Beiyang warlords were not good people, the Beiyang Army trained by Yuan Shikai still had a certain positive effect on China after the fall of the Qing Dynasty..."
Captain Wang added: "As for the old witch Cixi, we just need to send a corps of marines to sneak into the palace. It's easy!"
"But I have a concern. How are our marines going to get back? Time is urgent. The aircraft carrier cannot stay in the Yellow Sea forever. Your Majesty, please go to the sea east of Japan!!"
Li Chengqian replied: "It doesn't matter. Captain Wang just needs to instruct the soldiers to complete the mission and hide on the spot. When the three days are up, they will automatically return to the 21st century!"
Captain Wang was not surprised to hear this; he just wanted to get further confirmation from Li Chengqian.
In this case, time is urgent and there is no time to delay any further.
Five helicopters quickly took off, carrying a platoon of Marines, and flew towards the capital, towards the old witch Cixi!
At this time, the Zhiyuan ship raised a flag, indicating that it was coming over to thank the Hu Jian aircraft carrier for its assistance.
"What should we do? Should we meet?" asked Captain Wang.
Li Chengqian looked at the tilted Zhiyuan ship, and after a long struggle, he slowly said, "It's better that it's gone. Otherwise, it will be difficult for us to explain the origin of the Hu Jian. Besides, time is urgent. It will take some time to get to Tokyo from here!"
Captain Wang nodded: "Then follow Mr. Li's suggestion and head towards Tokyo with all our strength!"
The Hu Jian aircraft carrier broke through the waves and headed towards Tokyo, Japan.
At this time, Deng Shichang and the crew on the Zhiyuan looked at the Hu Jian which was gradually going away, their hearts filled with gratitude and confusion.
Why doesn’t the other party see me?
The iron bird in the sky also returned to the giant ship, and they could only watch as the Hu Jian quickly moved away.
Although I feel regretful and I really want to see the people on the giant ship, the Beiyang Fleet's mission has not yet ended, and China's maritime borders still need them to guard.
Deng Shichang immediately ordered the Zhiyuan to return to port for rest and await further orders from above.
Other ironclad ships of the Beiyang Fleet that had not been sunk also began to slowly leave the battlefield and return to port for rest.
The Sino-Japanese War of 1894 ended in such an unclear manner in history.
Russia's observation ships, as well as observation ships sent by America, Great Britain, France and other countries, quickly reported back to their countries what they had witnessed!
The news that the Qing Dynasty suddenly received assistance from an unprecedented super battleship quickly spread around the world.
However, after receiving this news, senior officials from various countries all scoffed!
Although they had heard of airplanes, they had heard of artillery shells that could accurately hit warships, and aircraft carriers that could take off and land airplanes...
They all thought that this was an illusion of the observer. With the strength of the Qing Dynasty, it was impossible to build such an advanced and huge super battleship.
But when the great powers gathered the information, they were shocked to find that this was actually the truth.
So, where did this super battleship come from?
Gradually, the naval development idea of huge ships and big guns seemed to be overturned.
Countries have invested huge amounts of money to begin researching aircraft and aircraft carriers that can carry them.
However, given the level of technology at the end of the 19th century, this was easier said than done.
The key point is that in the European direction, the German Empire was rising rapidly and the signs of World War I were already emerging.
As the world hegemon, England still needs to research relatively mature pre-dreadnought battleships to suppress the rise of the German Empire.
However, their original shipbuilding concepts and ideas were somewhat shaken by the emergence of aircraft.
The only way to resist the bombing of aircraft is to thicken the armor of warships and use absolute firepower to sink enemy ships first.
Driven by this shipbuilding concept, the Royal Navy of England skipped the pre-dreadnought battleship and redesigned it.
The age of dreadnoughts arrived ahead of schedule, and times changed with it.
And inside the imperial palace in Beijing, the old witch Cixi was completely unaware of the impending danger.
The huge Qing Dynasty was like a giant intoxicated with the dream of being the Celestial Empire, unaware of the changes in the world...
Li Chengqian and Captain Wang had no idea whether their arrival was a blessing or a curse for China in the 19th century.
But at least they succeeded in preventing the defeat in the Sino-Japanese War and curbing the rise of Japan.
As for whether the revolution within the Qing Dynasty would disappear because of the victory of this battle, it was not something they could control.
The Treaty of Shimonoseki should not appear again, and the frenzy of the great powers to divide up the Qing Dynasty may not happen.
It is even possible to abandon Japan and rebuild the Qing government.
Would the advanced elements in the country still strive to catch up because the Qing Dynasty had completely become a semi-colonial and semi-feudal country?
Will the power of Li Hongzhang, Zhang Zhidong and others grow further?
Will it bring constitutional monarchists and even the Westernization Movement back to life?
Li Chengqian didn't know that in the turmoil of the late Qing Dynasty, there were too many reformist forces with their own ideas and interests, which he could not control.
But he firmly believed that the wheel of history was rolling forward and was unstoppable, the Qing Dynasty's national destiny had been cut off, and the spark of revolution had been ignited!
This corrupt empire will eventually meet its demise.
China will surely usher in earth-shaking changes, because Yuan Shikai is still here, Mr. Sun is still here, Liang Qichao and Tan Sitong are still here, and all those revolutionary pioneers are still here!
Whether it is the Westernization School, the Constitutional Monarchy School, or the Revolutionary Party!
They are all just passing through history, and what will ultimately lead China towards revival can only be that bright red color!
The Hu Jian aircraft carrier sailed at full speed on the sea, and after 5 hours of sailing, it finally arrived at the coast of Japan.
At this time, the choice was whether to cross the narrow sea area between the four islands of Japan and appear directly in Tokyo Bay, or to directly send carrier-based aircraft to fly over the Japanese mainland to bomb Tokyo.
this is a problem.
Finally, after discussion between Li Chengqian and Captain Wang, the two plans were implemented simultaneously.
He vowed to use up all the ammunition on the Hu Jian within three days.
As a result, the carrier-based aircraft were loaded with various aerial bombs, especially white phosphorus bombs and incendiary bombs prepared in advance.
There are also a small number of tactical mushroom bombs, all prepared for Japan, so that these beasts can enjoy the warmth of love in advance.
Because of the need to take off and land aircraft, the speed of the Hu Jian slowed down, but it still sailed in an orderly manner along the strait between the Japanese islands towards Tokyo.
There were many of my country's shore-based coastal defense guns along the way, but they were destroyed by carrier-based aircraft bombing before the Hu Jian was even discovered.
The Hu Jian bombed all the way in such a swaggering manner.
All the major Japanese cities, such as Nagoya, Kyoto, and Osaka, were bombed.
At this time, news of the Hu Jian’s invasion finally arrived in Tokyo, but what could they do against the super battleship?
Send the few remaining warships to die?
