When this news was released, it immediately caused a huge sensation in the country.
Beiping, Marshal's Mansion.
"Hanqing, this is something I brought over. Come and take a look. Your brother has done something big this time.”
At this moment, Fourth Miss Zhao walked in with a telegram, a smile on her face.
At this moment, Zhang Xiaoliu was basking in the sun on a recliner in the courtyard.
Compared to his previous decadence, he was now in much better spirits.
Because he had figured out many problems during this period of time.
He propped himself up and sat up. When he saw the telegram, his pupils constricted.
"Sinking the Japanese Nagato class battleship? This was a 30,000-ton warship, the most advanced warship in the world. How was this possible?”
The Zhao Fourth Young Mistress squatted down and held his hand. She smiled and said,""I don't know much about military affairs, but we can verify this with the Japanese.
It was impossible for Xueming to use fake news to inform the entire country.”
After a long silence, he sighed deeply.
"Xueming is getting more and more mysterious, so mysterious that I can't understand him at all.”
The Jinling government was also in disbelief.
When Boss Dai took the telegram to find Chairman Chang, his expression was so shocked that his eyeballs almost popped out.
It wasn't surprising that the long-time Chairman Chang had such an expression. The main reason was that this news was really unbelievable.
The Changmen class battleships were comparable to the Republic of China Navy in terms of weight alone.
This included the hundreds of tons of river defense gunboats and patrol boats.
He, Zhang Xueming, actually announced that he would sink this 30,000-ton ship with a submarine.
This was simply like a fantasy.
What the hell is a submarine? The maximum weight was only two to three thousand tons.
It was only one-tenth the weight of this battleship.
"Has it been confirmed?"
Boss Dai quickly shook his head and said,"I came to report to you as soon as I got this telegram. At the same time, I've already sent someone to the Japanese Consul to inquire about the news."”
Chairman Chang paced back and forth.
"If this news is true, then Fu Da Bai, this Zhang Xueming is really strange. He doesn't make a move, but he always shocks the world.
They had annihilated the 38th Brigade and 20th Division, and now they had sunk the strongest Japanese battleship.
If it's really confirmed, I'll reward him well.”
"Reward him? But if that's the case, the Japanese definitely won't let it go, will they?"
A smile appeared on Chairman Chang's face.
"You should use your brain more. Of course, the Japanese won't let it go. Zhang Xueming has made a death feud with the Japanese.
What do you think the Japanese will do next? They would definitely retaliate and send more troops to the northeast to fight Zhang Xueming to the death.
There were only two outcomes to this battle. The two armies would either be at a stalemate or both sides would win.
This battle is enough to consume a portion of the Japanese's strength, so that they have no energy to focus on our Huabei.
At the same time, it also suppresses Zhang Xueming's development, which is still very beneficial to us.
Therefore, not only did he have to reward him, but he also had to let the entire country know.”
Boss Dai suddenly understood. He turned into a sidekick and said,"Wonderful, the principal's move is simply divine.”
It made Chairman Chang laugh heartily, and he was in a good mood.
Not only did the major warlords in the country receive the news, but civil society and the consular offices of the foreign powers also received the news.
The response of the people to the news was very enthusiastic.
With Zhang Xueming's current reputation in the country, everyone believed in the authenticity of this telegram.
Immediately, everyone was overjoyed, especially the student group. Their reaction to this matter was especially intense.
"To the northeast, to serve the country, to live and die without regret.”
Immediately, there was a craze in the country to go north.
Countless young men and women of Huaxia set off from all over the world, embarking on the journey to the outside of the pass.
English Legation in China.
Minister Jia Degan stared blankly at the telegram in his hand, then looked at the military official and asked,""Sir, are you sure you're not joking with me?”
The military official shook his head and said," Mr. Minister, I can't joke about this kind of thing. This is indeed a clear code from the Northeast Border Guards of China. I believe my translation will not have any problems."”
Then, Jia Degan chuckled.
"But it looks like this is indeed a joke. Go and confirm with the Japanese embassy and ask the intelligence department to confirm its authenticity.”
There were others who had the same thoughts as him.
If Ying-chan, Ideli, Helan, and the other ambassadors were just watching the show.
The German envoy, Todman, was extremely concerned about this.
The word submarine was very important to him.
He immediately believed that the telegram was real.
This was because submarines were developed by their country, and he knew the combat capability of submarines.
If the Japanese were to be surrounded by submarines, they could be taken away with a wave of volleys.
However, he still went to the Japanese Consul to confirm it.
At this time, the Japanese ambassadors were all confused.
"One of our longgate-class battleships was sunk?”
However, when this clear code was placed in front of him, he could not help but doubt its authenticity.
So, the embassy general called the minister of foreign affairs.
However, the Minister of Foreign Affairs was even more baffled when he received the telegram.
Because he didn't know about this at all.
Thus, the news quickly spread throughout Japan, and it was impossible to suppress it.
Facing the silent military command department and the alliance fleet.
Many people understood that this was actually true.
Thus, their silence also confirmed the authenticity of the sinking of the battleship.
It immediately caused a huge sensation among the major powers of the world.
It also attracted the attention of the German Navy.
All the major powers were shocked by what kind of submarine could sink the world's strongest battleship.
The Japanese finally found out who the culprit was.
"Zhang Xueming."
Prince Fujianyong Baogong practically gritted his teeth as he uttered these three words.
"Your Majesty, I suggest that we send more troops to the northeast and severely punish Zhang Xueming. We will bring him back to the country for trial.”
Emperor Shingo suppressed his anger.
"However, Lu Xiang and the military command department are discussing the matter of increasing the number of soldiers. We must eliminate this Zhang Xueming.”
This time, all of the higher-ups in Japan were furious.
However, the angrier they were, the happier Zhang Xueming was.
Revenge? Would he be afraid of the Japanese's revenge?
Thus, he happily opened a new day of check-in.
