Waiting for half an hour after Shanhaiguan broke through the city, Haitian arrived at the nearby sea area. Unfortunately, things had already developed in an irreversible direction.
"It's the Japanese fleet!" The observer's voice reactivated Hai Tian.
Master Deng raised his monocular and observed the enemy's situation: "One of the three ships, Akitsusu, and Chiyoda, maintain the course, and prepare the artillery on the left."
Master Deng didn't know what was going on at the front line, and wanted to rescue Shanhaiguan, but look at this...
The distance between the two sides was getting closer and closer. After careful consideration, Dongxiang "ordered the artillery on the left to fire with full force when the two sides approached, and then the fleet left here, joined Yoshino, and returned home!"
Some people wonder, especially recruits, why should they waste such a good opportunity, three against one?
Dongxiang didn't explain too much, how to explain it? The lessons learned from Naniwa's mistakes are there. If it can be sunk, that's it, but Kaitian runs very fast and has thick armor...
The first mate paused: "The Army is still behind, do you want to delay for a while?"
Dongxiang was silent for only three seconds: "The fleet maintains a speed of ten knots. If Haitian fights with us, then it will delay a little longer."
Then, Master Deng, who noticed that the enemy was slowing down, chose to turn around, and the two sides fired air cannons five kilometers apart.

As mentioned before, due to technical reasons, the development of sighting equipment has not yet made decisive progress, and ballistic calculations have not been included in naval gunnery training.
The gunner relies more on experience to fire the gun, and ballistic calculations rely on his head.
Dongxiang nodded: "My fleet is not as fast as Haitian. Anyway, Shanhaiguan has been broken, and there will be no recurrence." At most, a few soldiers who don't need money will die. Does it have much to do with the navy? The navy has already caused a mission, so don't slander it.
!
Dongxiang continued: "The top priority is to find the transport ship that may have been lost and let them go back."
When Haitian arrived at Shanhaiguan, Shanhaiguan had been completely occupied. In just half an hour, the Qing army, which had lost its commander, started a great escape mode. The Japanese army tried their best to eat women but could not catch up.
Master Deng let out a long sigh: "Bombard the Japanese troops in the pass!"
The first mate stopped him: "Sir, we don't have much ammunition. We still need to set aside some ammunition to guard against possible enemy ships."
Master Deng remained silent for a long time and ordered a patrol along the coastline to find the enemy's supply ship.
The supply ship washed up on the beach was quickly found.
More than half of the Japanese army's supplies were destroyed, but in Shanhaiguan, the Japanese army found enough supplies for a hundred thousand troops to fight for a month.

To be honest, the war has been going on for a year now, and Japan’s supplies are a joke. A real transport team still has to look at the military.
………
On July 2, after many rounds of coordination, many mediating countries reached an agreement and issued a declaration to Japan.
The Japanese cabinet was basking in the glory of victory. After three days of armed march, the 11th Brigade was only 37 miles (about 60 kilometers) away from the outskirts of the capital. The cabinet was suddenly broken by a statement urging the two governments to stop all fighting.
sweet dream.
"Baga! This is a naked threat!"
"The empire does not accept any threats! Continue the attack! Take the capital and see what they say!"
"Yes! If we take the capital, we can pay off our debts. The British and American devils will have nothing to say. We can also ask the die to cede territory. What do you think of Northeast China and North Korea?"
"I think we can add Wanwan!"
"Yoshi! Then add it!"
A group of fanatics did not take the declaration jointly issued by the five countries seriously and were already discussing how to distribute the spoils after the war.

Ito's eyes were full of sadness. This group of people did not realize the seriousness of the matter at all. However, the matter was not irreversible.
Ito whispered to Saigo on the side: "Go and invite the Russian envoy! We can't give up now."
Saigo was still immersed in the joy of his impending victory. As for the small friction on land and sea caused by the navy's retreat? It was all a trivial matter, and the Minister of War did not care about it. It was just a few cents of soldiers.
Xixiang nodded heavily: "We really need an ally, and I will get in touch!"
Ito was speechless, he was not talking about allies. No one except Ito cared to declare that in their eyes, the winner owns everything. No matter how the war was started or what its nature was, victory was right and failure was wrong.
But what was wrong was not the war, but the defeat... (Is this a summary of Japan’s current reflection on World War II?)
The news of Saigo's meeting with the Russian envoy was not hidden from anyone, and the British quickly got the news.
………
Ryukyu, Conference of Mediating Powers.
Cyril could no longer maintain his gentlemanly demeanor: "The matter is already clear! The Japanese have fully surrendered to the Tsar, and this war is slipping into the abyss! Gentlemen, we should take action!"

The French representative immediately echoed: "Our East India Fleet has set sail northward and can use Ryukyu as an offensive base. I hope Mr. Prime Minister can provide certain supplies."
The Germans remained silent. This incident made Emperor William ecstatic, but Germany lacked strength and could only maintain an attitude of outside mediation.
Liu Yiming kept nodding. In fact, he did not want to kill Japan completely. It was more in Nanhua's interest to keep Japan.
But Japan has been committing suicide by hooking up with Britain and then the United States, but this is not a crime. Britain will still support it because of its interests, until it shows its close relationship with the Tsar...
"Ryukyu Port is a bit small, and the number of warships should not be too large. I suggest that we directly dock at Dieqing or a certain port in Japan." Liu Yiming thought for a while.
Of course, it is not because the port is small. It is enough for Ryukyu to dock a dozen ships, and the rest can also be parked in the port. Anyway, the sun is just right and the breeze is not dry.
However, it is not deterrent enough and cannot sufficiently shock the Russians.
Sam was more concerned about Die Qing's war situation, "I think the top priority is to stop the Japanese army's attack. They are less than a hundred kilometers away from Die Qing's capital."
If the capital is breached, will it cause the government to step down? Will it cause unnecessary chaos? In that case, what will happen to the market that Americans desperately need?
Liu Yiming waved his hand: "This problem is not that easy. Master Li's Huai army has built a defense line 60 kilometers north of the capital, and it has not been broken through yet."

"However, the Japanese army has too many people. The Huai army only has 20,000 people. Over time, it will definitely be unable to resist. I suggest that the trade restrictions on the Qing Dynasty be relaxed."
Everyone nodded in agreement.
The French representative immediately spoke up, "Well, let's see if we have anything that can support the Qing Dynasty. At least we must ensure that the Japanese cannot capture the capital. Otherwise, I am very afraid of the Qing Dynasty's ruler, the Queen Mother.
Will surrender first!"
France has plenty of experience in this matter. It was clear that they did not win the battle, but gained more in the end than they won. The Prime Minister also resigned due to defeat. It can be said that it was the most confusing war that the French fought, and it was worse than the white war of Napoleon III.
Giving offense is even more puzzling.
As soon as these words came out, everyone...
