[Chapter 742 Containment]

Edo.

Zhao Xu was consolidating the results of the Goryeo War.

The streets here are filled with white paper money, and the cries are loud.

150,000 Japanese soldiers went to Koryo, 90% of the generals died in battle, and only more than 20,000 people fled back.

When the news came out, the whole of Edo was shocked. Anyone who had soldiers and generals who participated in the war bought coffins, held funerals, and buried them in empty coffins.

shogunate.

The Watanabe case sits under the eaves in front of the main hall, like a rotten log that has lost its life.

The news that King Yan’s army suddenly went south to Koryo and defeated the East-Turk Allied Forces came.

He didn’t eat or drink for three whole days, and only ate a little in the past few days under the entreaties of everyone.

But still kept silent and didn’t see anyone.

“King Yan! I swear by Watanabe that I will make you pay with blood.” The

autumn sun was still hot, and under the baking of the sun, beads of sweat appeared on Watanabe’s forehead.

At this moment, he suddenly yelled, and then passed out on the ground.

When he woke up again, he was surrounded by Taro Mawa, Haruno Yamada, Masataka Konishi, Shi Kuki, Torora Ogawa, and Changnai Shimadzu.

The core of the shogunate is all in place.

“The general calm down, hurting his body like this, isn’t it just taking advantage of King Yan’s wishes.” Hemp Rope Taro said.

“That’s right, General, this King Yan is just a grasshopper after autumn, and it won’t be able to reach for a few days.” Shimadzu Changming said, “As long as the battleships in the Edo River are launched and cooperate with the British, the number of battleships will be reduced.” Yes, we won King Yan, and we will be able to annihilate his navy at that time, and then attack them from the coast to avenge Goryeo.”

“The British are a bunch of cowards. If they hadn’t escaped, how could we have lost so much Soldiers, many of them were chased by King Yan’s battleship and drowned alive in the sea.” Yamada Haruno said angrily.

Hearing about the Watanabe case, he suddenly raised his hand and slapped Haruno Yamada, and said hoarsely, “At this time, don’t talk about destroying the cooperation of the East-Turk Alliance. We can’t lose the support of the British and the people of Sam.”

“Hi!” Yamada Haruno lowered his head.

At this moment, Watanabe struggled to sit up, and said to Ma Rotaro: “Where is Lieutenant Wolfe? I’m going to see him.”

“He’s in the consulate of the country of Sam, and he seems to be discussing something with Consul Eilson. ” Ma Rotaro said.

Watanabe nodded, “It’s just right, I’m going to meet them.”

After finishing speaking, he stood up and went to the consulate of Sam’s country with the support of everyone.

Seeing Elson and Wolfe, Watanabe suddenly knelt down in front of them, bent down and bowed his head, “Please Sam and Britain must help Dongying with all their strength, so that they can resist the expansion of King Yan, otherwise Dongying will be in danger , Eastern land is in danger, do you want King Yan to take away all your colonies in Eastern Chu?”

Elson and Wolfe looked at each other.

Unexpectedly, the Watanabe case would pay such a heavy gift to them.

Wolfe immediately raised the Watanabe case and said to him: “Just now, I was discussing this matter with Consul Eilson. Eilson will report it to Congress, and I will report it to Congress, and provide support to Japan from all aspects. .”

This naval battle with King Yan’s fleet made him actually feel the threat of King Yan.

He could no longer look at King Yan with the same eyes as he looked at the natives.

It must be treated as an enemy similar to the Rus State, and can no longer be neglected.

Not only Dongying, they will also provide the same support as Wu to contain King Yan.

Even if you can’t succeed, you should try to weaken his strength as much as possible before you have a full-scale conflict with King Yan.

The Watanabe case was overjoyed, sobbing and crying, he said: “Thank you, please believe that Dongpu will be your most reliable ally, whether it is now or in the future.”

Wolfe nodded, “I also believe this. From now on, we will no longer limit the number of sailing warships you can build, and we will also provide you with the best weapons, so that your warships will not lose to King Yan. battleship.”

“This is what we are most looking forward to.” Watanabe’s eyebrows were beaming.

The ocean is the last barrier to protect Japan.

As long as the ocean can be defended, King Yan has nothing to do with Japan, and they can gradually recover from the defeat of this war.

Therefore, a fleet that can rival Yan Wang’s navy is very important.

“Besides, if the Congress of the Allies of the Mountains and our British Parliament agree, we will help you build industries. This is the foundation of King Yan of the other party.” The

Watanabe case was originally in a state of extreme disappointment.

Wolfe’s promise immediately lifted his spirits.

“The death of our Dongpu warriors is worth it.” Watanabe’s expression became firm.

Although this battle did not achieve the results they wanted.

But it must have made the Britons and the people of Sam see their importance.

Compared with Korea, the steam industry in the west is what he desires most.

“I hope that you will continue to stand firmly on the front line against King Yan in the future.” Wolfe said slowly.

It is the balance of power tactic used by Britain.

It is precisely by using this trick that the Western Land continued to fight, benefiting the Britons who were lonely overseas.

After all, the flames of war will never reach the land of Britain.

But in the east, they can only look to the east to contain King Yan.

When the time is right, they will give King Yan a fatal blow.

But before that, he must protect Dongpu and prevent King Yan from destroying Dongpu.

So he told the Watanabe case that he and the British fleet would stay in Japan.

At the same time, let Dongying build forts in important coastal cities to prevent the King Yan fleet from attacking Dongying.

In addition to Dongying, he also sent a merchant ship to Tianzhu to send his letter to Governor Bolt.

It is suggested that he sell the same weapons as the British army to the state of Wu, so as to prevent the king of Yan from going south and unify him.

The most important point is that I hope Bolt can send envoys to meet the Ross people and reach an agreement on containing King Yan.

Instead of continuing to fight in the east.

This is not in line with the interests of both of them.

“In this regard, we in Dongpu can test the population of Beidi and Ross first.” Watanabe’s eyes narrowed into a line.

He dared not say it to Wolfe’s face, but in his heart, he thought the Britons were a little arrogant.

When facing King Yan, he even wanted to contain the Ross people.

But fortunately, the Battle of Goryeo seemed to wake Wolfe up.

Make him aware of the real threat.

The power of the country of Ross expanded to the east, and at most it competed with them for their interests. This was just a matter of the size of the cake.

But let King Yan grow up, not only will they not even have cakes, but they may have to spit out what they ate before.

They can’t tolerate it in Britain, and the Ross people certainly can’t tolerate it either.

What’s more, their power in the east is weak. If they can gather more countries in the west, they can gather more power and have greater confidence.
