This time the Japanese army cannot participate in the military operations of the Ming Empire. It is not that General Tokugawa Ietsuna disagrees, but that this general has died...
He was not assassinated or poisoned, but was sent directly into the sky by a Type 12 land-based anti-ship missile, along with a small half of the castle.
The person who ordered the launch of the missiles was Emperor Kokaku, who was gifted by Amaterasu. He was less than thirty years old, but he already had a large army capable of overthrowing the Tokugawa shogunate.
Considering the actions of the previous shoguns, he did not want to issue an ultimatum to Tokugawa Ietsuna, but chose a decapitation-style tactic.
Although it was too arbitrary and crude, the effect achieved was very good. When the missile hit the target, the unaware Tokugawa Ietsuna happened to be reading documents in his ancestral castle.
Emperor Kokaku believed that after he came to power, he no longer needed this building, and it could just be used as a burial object for Tokugawa Ietsuna...
The troops loyal to the emperor were spearheaded by Type 90 main battle tanks, followed closely by Type 96 armored personnel carriers and Type 13 fire support vehicles.
Emperor Kokoku himself rode a Yakou-style infantry fighting vehicle and followed the large troops into Tokyo. This is where the emperor should be seated, not Kyoto.
After learning that Tokugawa Ietsuna had died and Emperor Kokaku informed the whole country by telegraph, the daimyō who were estranged from the Tokugawa shogunate all over the country expressed their willingness to serve the emperor and eradicate the scourge of the shogunate.
After seeing the situation take a turn for the worse, most of the Daimyo who were close to the Tokugawa family also turned against them.
Only the troops directly under the Tokugawa Ietsuna and some of the pro-domain daimyo headed by the four old middle families were still unwilling to accept this fact and planned to resist stubbornly.
The navy and air force of Japan have been on high alert. They have not attacked the emperor's army, nor have they expressed their support for Emperor Kokaku. They are all waiting for the final result.
A large-scale fleet immediately appeared on the sea. Each warship did not belong to the combat order of the Japanese navy, but it seemed to be very advanced in technology.
The other party has already stated its intention in advance. This is a fleet belonging to Emperor Kokaku. As long as the Japanese navy fleet in Tokyo Bay does not take the lead in opening fire, they will not take action.
The fleet includes two "Izumo" class helicopter carriers, two "Hyuga" class helicopter carriers, three "Osumi" class amphibious transport fleets, two "Maya" class Aegis ships, and two "Atago" class Aegis ships. ship, two "Kongo" class Aegis ships, four "Asahi" class destroyers, four "Akiyuki" class destroyers, four "Takaha" class destroyers, eight "Mogami" class frigates, eight "Murasame" class Frigate.
At the end of the team are two "Towada" class supply ships and two "Mashu" class supply ships, while four "Ocean" class and four "Soryu" class conventionally powered submarines are active in the waters near Yokohama.
The advantage of this fleet lies in air defense and anti-ship, not anti-ship. In fact, it does not take much advantage to conduct close-range anti-ship operations in Tokyo Bay.
However, at the time of the incident, the Japanese navy only had one battleship, one cruiser, and four destroyers docked in Tokyo Bay, which were used as a guard fleet in nearby waters.
Facing the mighty Emperor's fleet, they were obviously at a disadvantage, so naturally they did not dare to act rashly, not to mention that the other party also had the right and the initiative.
In order to gain power as soon as possible, appease people's hearts, calm down troubles, and control the overall situation.
Emperor Kokaku announced that as long as the Tokugawa family and the daimyo's armed forces who were still loyal to the Tokugawa family laid down their weapons and surrendered unconditionally to him, he would forgive them and make proper arrangements for them.
The specific resettlement method is to obtain new fiefdoms and populations based on the grain output and population in each daimyo fiefdom, and to retain armed servants in proportion.
A minimum of one hundred people can be retained, and a maximum of ten thousand people can be retained. Those who resist stubbornly will be deemed to have sinned intolerance and will be severely punished to serve as a warning to others.
In less than ten days, the Tokugawa family had been running for three generations, and the nearly two hundred years of shogunate came to an end. From now on, the Japanese country would be directly managed by Emperor Kokaku.
Above the head is Amaterasu, and there is no longer any mascot.
Many daimyo also saw with their own eyes the gift Amaterasu gave to the emperor.
Now they have no choice but to admit that they can conjure tanks, planes, and battleships out of thin air. This is even more powerful than the emperor of the Ming Empire!
Some daimyo even wanted to be allocated some heavy weapons, but for fear of offending the emperor, they could only endure it temporarily and see if they could find a suitable opportunity in the future before speaking out.
When the combined fleets of the Ming Empire and the French Empire left the naval base in East Asia, the military strength of the Japanese country, which had completed the changes, had been rapidly improved.
Emperor Koge's troops have Type 90 main battle tanks, Yakou-type infantry fighting vehicles, Type 99 self-propelled howitzers, Type 96 self-propelled mortars, Type 87 self-propelled anti-aircraft guns, Type 96 armored personnel carriers, and Type 13 fire support vehicles. 1,500 vehicles, 7,500 light armored motor vehicles (jeeps), and 15,000 military trucks.
There are 1,500 OH-1 armed reconnaissance helicopters, BK-117 light multi-purpose helicopters, UH-60JA medium multi-purpose helicopters, SH-60K medium anti-submarine helicopters, and MCH-101 heavy mine clearance transport helicopters.
There are 750 F-15J fighter jets, F-2A fighter jets, and F-35A fighter jets each, and 300 C-1 transport aircraft, C-2 transport aircraft, and P-1 anti-submarine patrol aircraft each.
At sea, there are as many as five four-carrier battle groups, twenty light aircraft carriers, and a total of 250 F-35B fighter jets. It also has fifteen amphibious transport ships, thirty Aegis destroyers, and forty Aegis destroyers. With its small Aegis destroyers, forty small Aegis frigates, and sixty general-purpose destroyers and frigates, its combat effectiveness already ranks first in East Asia.
With such a strong military strength, is it necessary to continue to be a thug for the emperor of the Ming Empire?
If you sound good, you are a thug; if not, you are a dog!
Just because Tokugawa Ietsuna is willing to be a dog does not mean that Emperor Kokaku is also willing to be a dog!
But it takes an opportunity to completely reverse the previous decline.
Amaterasu also gave Emperor Kokaku an opportunity at the right time, that is, the Allied Forces of Ming and France went on an expedition to Africa!
Taking advantage of the lack of maritime power in East Asia, Emperor Koge planned to seize the Shandong Peninsula directly.
After occupying this place, you can then choose to go north to capture New Paris in France, or go south to attack Prussia.
Moreover, he did not fight alone in this attack, but also had two capable helpers.
One is the Kimchi King Li Zhen who has settled in Hawaii, and the other is the Swiss Chief Deacon Schmidt who is far away from the Kamchatka Peninsula!
These two men also received gifts from God, especially the former, whose naval strength was not much inferior to that of Emperor Kokoku.
The fleet includes ten "Marado" type amphibious assault ships, ten KDX--IIIB type Aegis ships, ten KDX--IIIA type Aegis ships, twenty KDX-II type destroyers, and twenty KDX- Type I destroyers, forty "Daegu" class frigates, forty "Incheon" class frigates, twenty KSS-II type conventionally powered submarines, twenty KSS-III type ballistic missile type conventionally powered submarines, ten " Cheonwangfeng" class tank landing ship and ten "Shoyang" class supply ships.
The Air Force has 750 KF-21 fighter jets, KF-16 fighter jets, and FA-50 combat trainer aircraft each, and 1,500 KUH medium utility helicopters and LAH light armed helicopters each.
Those being boarded at the port include K-2 main battle tanks, K-9 self-propelled howitzers, K-21 infantry fighting vehicles, K-30 self-propelled anti-aircraft guns, "Tianma" short-range air defense vehicles, K-239 rocket launchers, and K-808 rounds armored vehicles and other heavy equipment.
Through the radio, Li Zhen agreed with Emperor Koge Shinin and Chief Deacon Schmidt that Northeastern France and the Korean Peninsula would belong to him.
The central and western regions of France belonged to Shiren, and the vast area east of the Yenisey River belonged to Schmidt. The grasslands served as a buffer zone for the three parties.
Li Zhen really wanted to gain territory throughout France, but he was worried that the Ming Empire would launch a powerful counterattack, so he might as well let Shi Ren act as a shield for him.
Shi Ren hoped to take two-thirds of France into his pocket, but this move would undoubtedly greatly stimulate the Ming Empire, and he would not be so kind as to draw chestnuts from the fire for Li Zhen.
In contrast, he valued Prussian territory more, that is, the wealthy Jiangnan area, and the Dutch coastal areas. These were the places Shiren longed for.
As for the many lands in the north, let Schmidt and Li Zhen grab them at will.
According to Shiren's understanding, the three parties are fighting together, and the target is a hostile group headed by the Ming Empire.
Then it is reasonable to fight the opponent anywhere...
If anyone doesn't want to, you can go back and live your life again, no one will stop you!
In terms of the relationship between Japan and the Ming Empire, if Japan went to war with the Netherlands or Prussia, as long as he took the initiative to show his kindness, the Emperor of the Ming Empire would not mind too much.
But Shiren asked for a hundred tubes of elixir as compensation for Emperor Haojing's long-term support of the Tokugawa family, which Zhu Cixiang could not do no matter what.
Can I still deliver goods to your door?
Others come to pick them up, only one or two at a time.
It's better for you, if you open your mouth and ask for a hundred words, even if it's one or twenty words, I can still agree!
If you put forward a condition that I can't possibly agree to, doesn't that mean you're asking me to return to the Ming Dynasty?
It's obvious when the other party gives you a hint. If you don't agree, then both parties will make a clean break and go their separate ways!
You're asking for a high price and asking me to deliver the goods to your door. Are you going to wait and see?
Especially at this juncture, Zhu Cixiang would definitely not agree.
You don’t even have to think about it, just come if you can come, and if you can’t come, just take it, do as you like!
Anyway, once Tokugawa Ietsuna died, the Tokugawa family lost its backbone. According to the inquiries of the Ming Empire's diplomats and agents stationed in Japan, Japan was now completely controlled by Shiren.
The daimyo who had previously been loyal to the Tokugawa family have also found new owners. Without Shiren's orders, they probably would not dare to send troops to work overseas...
Regarding Li Zhen's unusual movements, Zhu Cixiang had already learned the relevant information from the satellite.
But the Ming Empire's current development focus is west of the Ural Mountains, unless it can move over instantly with its troops.
If you land at the Heilongjiang estuary or Busan, and then push westward little by little, you should be able to reach Moscow in a few years!
As an experienced person, after seeing the weapons and equipment in the Tokyo area transmitted by satellite, Zhu Cixiang came to a rough conclusion about Li Zhen's superpowers.
If you want to play, I can accompany you to the end, just don’t give up when the time comes!
On the other side of the car, Zhen Zhen, Zhu Cixiang also told him to run ahead of time if he could.
It doesn't matter if you lose your territory, as long as you don't lose your head.
You can surrender to Li Zhen. Whether this king can forgive you is not up to Zhu Cihong...
It was not impossible for Li Zhen to find the culprit. Zhu Cihong was waiting for him to come to Minsk.
Anyway, after Africa, East Asia is about to become the second battlefield.
Since there are more countries and a larger population there, it is likely to overtake Africa and become the world's number one battlefield.
This is also good. It is closer to the mainland of Ming Dynasty. Maybe we can start fighting on the mainland of Ming Dynasty.
In this way, it saves me the trouble of sending another expedition fleet.
If the enemy goes to attack Australia, it won't be easy!
However, Zhu Cixiang believed that the chance of the enemy attacking the eastern part of the Ming Dynasty after the Autumn was not very high.
Because it has started to snow there, the temperature will get lower day by day, until it can reach as low as 30 or 40 degrees below zero.
The local Ming army can gradually shrink its defense along the railway. It would be great if the opponent attacks along the railway.
There are armored trains here waiting for you to deliver goods to your door!
In fact, Schmidt was not very sure about the Swiss army fighting in winter, even though the climate in Switzerland was not too warm that year.
The operational goal he assigned to the troops was to seize Sakhalin Island, which the Ming Empire called Sakhalin Island, and the east coast areas of the lower reaches of the Ussuri River and the Heilongjiang River.
Wait until next spring and then attack westward along the northern railway.
If possible, Schmidt would also like to eat all the areas east of the Ural Mountains.
If Switzerland covers an area of 10 million square kilometers, it will be a veritable big country.
Although Nandu was large, Schmidt believed that there were tens of millions of oppressed Europeans of various ethnic groups in the Far East.
As long as they are summoned, united, and armed, they will definitely be able to defeat the local defenders.
This is what Schmidt concluded through the Ming Empire's previous foreign wars. Since the emperor of the Ming Empire liked to hire soldiers from other countries to act as mercenaries, he could also copy them.
When the Swiss army launches a large-scale offensive westward along the Northern Railway, they can continue to recruit soldiers from all ethnic groups and form them into legions of various ethnic groups to serve as their own mercenaries.
The Ming Empire was very wealthy, and Schmidt believed that enough funds, food, and supplies could be obtained by confiscating the Ming Empire's local businesses, banks, and grain depots.
Although the Swiss army currently only has 200,000 soldiers, as long as the large-scale mercenaries are properly utilized, the desired results can be achieved.
Besides, local Europeans generally hated the Ming Empire. After obtaining weapons and equipment, they could take charge of their own affairs and resist the Ming Empire that oppressed them.
Schmidt estimated that he could arm two to three million European soldiers and cooperate with a dozen heavy brigades to control the area east of Lake Baikal.
Although Schmidt also knew that the further west he got, the richer he became, but in the absence of insufficient strength, if he could control the area east of Lake Baikal, it would be considered a successful second step.
