On October 1, 1923, Gaul, John, Sam, Fuso and other countries also learned the news.

Their concession was forcefully taken back by the Chinese warlords, and the army was disarmed and captured.

Regarding this situation, several major powers discussed and decided to jointly issue a tough question to the Pingjing government of China at 10 o'clock that morning.

He also threatened Lu Xiaojia to abide by the treaty, release captured soldiers, compensate for losses, and return the concession.

The arrogant Prime Minister of the Kingdom of John, George Rosen, even threatened wildly that if China did not abide by the "Treaty of Humen", their Royal Fleet of the Kingdom of John might use force to solve the problem.

What Lu Xiaojia did was also reported by major newspapers in China, and there were also many mixed voices from the people and various forces.

Some people say that Lu Xiaojia is a hero. He stood up to the great powers and took back China's territory with force. He also executed the Fusang residents in the concession and avenged the blood revenge of many Chinese people who were murdered by the Fusang people.

Some people say that his actions are too cruel. Necessary means are available, but the defenseless Fusang residents should not be attacked and should be deported to Fusang.



China's Yangshan Island, Coast Defense Gun Fortress No. 3, a Fletcher destroyer slowly docked.

"You are these barbaric Chinese people. As an officer, I will not participate in labor."

"You must abide by the Hague Convention and treat us well. We are prisoners of war, not slaves!"

Fifty or sixty foreign prisoners of war were escorted off the ship. Looking at the huge and heavy cannonballs, charges... and other materials on the dock, they all protested.

"boom!"

With a gunshot, the leading foreign officer was killed directly. Lu Xiaojia blew the gun smoke and said, "Who elSe haS any ObieCtiOnS!"

"You are now prisoners of war of the Chinese people. Whatever the Chinese people ask you to do, you must carry out my orders, otherwise those Fusang people will suffer the end!"

Lu Xiaojia stared at these prisoners of war coldly and said viciously, and the adjutant quickly translated the original words.

Just kidding, I, Mr. Lu, have already treated you foreign prisoners of war quite well.

I keep you alive, I give you food and drink, I make you work for me, and you still dare to complain and give me advice?

Look at the people in Fuso next door. They are not even qualified to work for me. They are all reduced to ashes.

"Oh Maikar, these Chinese people are unreasonable!"

"We'd better work quickly to save our lives!"

These foreign prisoners of war recalled that the fate of the Fuso people yesterday was reduced to a pile of minced meat. They were so frightened that their hair stood on end, and they hurriedly started working with their hands and feet.

On Shizu Mountain on Yangshan Island, among the rocks and trees, two thick gun barrels are frightening.

"Report to the Commander, the 3rd Coast Defense Brigade is preparing for artillery calibration, please give your instructions!"

"continue!"

After Lu Xiaojia said that, the group of people continued to patrol the island and came to the place with the widest view of the island.

"Commander, the guns of this naval battleship are so big, the turret feels like a house."

"Yes, it is said that it can hit very far. Land artillery can hit more than ten kilometers, which is considered good. Naval artillery can easily start from dozens of kilometers."

Several people looked at the two steel coastal defense guns in front of them, and they were a little lost for a moment. They couldn't help but sigh that the battleship's main gun was really huge!

MK.I 381mm coastal defense gun

Yes, the two coastal defense guns in front of me are John's MK.I 381mm coastal defense guns.

Speaking of this kind of coastal defense gun, many people may be unfamiliar with it, but when it comes to warships equipped with this kind of main gun, they are all famous.

Many John ships such as the Royal Oak, Hood, Warspite, Repulse, Malaya, etc. are all users of this gun.

The single weight of these two coastal defense guns is several hundred tons, and the armor-piercing shells fired weigh about 980 kilograms, with a maximum range of 30 kilometers.

At the same time, four Mk IX 234mm coastal defense guns are also deployed on the island.

Mk IX 234mm coastal defense gun

For a coastal defense artillery fortress of this size, Lu Xiaojia took advantage of the past few months to mobilize soldiers from the artillery, reserves, and garrison forces.

At present, 7 have been formed, and they are deployed on the seaside or islands such as Xiangshan Bay, Jiangnan Shipyard, Daishan, Hengsha, Dongtan, etc.

The mission of these coastal defense brigades is very simple. For any foreign warship that appears on the sea and has not been declared, I will fire directly without any warning.

"Commander, sirs, the artillery calibration of our garrison brigade is ready. Please move to watch." The artilleryman came to report.

"Fuck, let's move quickly!"

Hearing this, Lu Xiaojia hurriedly changed positions with a few people. The 381mm naval gun fired. It was no joke. The air waves from the muzzle could knock people away.

Not long after, with the help of a fully automatic loader, the 980-kilogram shell was loaded into the chamber. After aiming at the target at sea, the gunner pressed the fire button.

"Boom!"

"Boom!"

The sound of two huge cannons seemed to tear the world apart completely. The cannonballs came out, and the air waves from the muzzles blew the trees and thorns on the ground to stagger.



About 5 kilometers away on the sea, a few local soldiers who had been specially kept were rowing two dilapidated wooden boats floating on the sea.

"Hahaha, these Chinese people are so merciful. They actually let us go, but I don't know why they only gave us a small wooden boat?"

"No matter, Mr. Inoue, let's row the boat quickly. After returning to the mainland, we will have the opportunity to follow the large army and return to China for revenge!"

"Uh-huh!"

"Boom!"

Two small wooden boats carrying Fuso pigs were hit head-on by 381mm artillery shells.

The air wave of the explosion set off hundreds of meters of water on the sea surface. The fire and the shock wave directly evaporated their flesh and blood in an instant, leaving not even a hair left.

Lu Xiaojia smiled and put down the binoculars and picked his ears, "Haha, it seems I should save some Fuso pigs next time so that they can be reused."

"Report to the commander, this is the clear message sent by John, Gaul, and Sam this morning. The message says..." Lin Yi said the content.

Lu Xiaojia took the telegram and tore it into pieces with disdain, "I can reluctantly admit that his brother-in-law is my second concubine, but forget it because of these broken contracts."

"Besides, I have never signed any bullshit treaty such as Jinling or Humen, which is a loss of power and humiliation to the country."

Cai Zhonghu also chimed in, "Commander, I suggest sending electricity to these stupid foreigners to find the dead people of the Xuan Dynasty and let those withered bones fulfill the broken treaty."

"It makes sense. This kind of broken contract was signed by that old witch Cixi. She asked Cixi to fulfill the contract and asked me to pay 20 million US dollars and 5 million pounds in compensation..."

What kind of international joke are you kidding me? You can be tyrannical before the system comes.

Now that I have the system in hand, if you still want to be tyrannical, wouldn't it be a waste of time for my adoptive father to come?

"Commander, as well as the Peking and Beiyang governments have also sent messages asking us to follow suit. Don't anger these great powers, or they will take back our official positions and institutions..."

Before he finished speaking, he was interrupted by Lu Xiaojia, "Do we care about the verbal check they gave us?"

"They are just a useless patrol officer. What a shame they have given them. If you have the ability, come and attack me. If you don't come and beat me, I, Lu Xiaojia, will look down on them!"

We only need to wait for another three months for the army training to be over. Then we will be ready to march north and directly kick away those Wu Peifa and Cao Kun.

"The whole country will be electrified immediately, and we will announce that our two provinces, Yu and Huai, will break away from the Beiyang regime and become autonomous like Zhang Yulin. All the armies will be renamed and will be called the National Defense Army."

"Yes, Commander!"

After doing all this, Lu Xiaojia opened the system and spent 500,000 silver dollars to purchase 30 AMES-11 air search radar trailers.

AMES-11 air search radar trailer

This kind of radar was invented by John Guo and showed its power in the British air battle. It can monitor air objects within 220 kilometers and help the Air Force respond to the battle as soon as possible.

After all, intelligence agencies are not omnipotent. These radars can prevent the Fuso United Fleet from retaliating, especially since they also have the Fengxiang aircraft carrier.
