Rebirth of the Qing Empire

After the news came out that the two "star" German ships "Scharnhorst" and "Gneisenno" were easily sunk by the Bac Ninh Navy, it not only shocked the German military but also the international military.

world, which of course also includes Britain and France.

At this time, Britain had already achieved huge colonial interests in the Qing Empire, and its greatest interest areas were the nine provinces along the Yangtze River and the southeastern coastal areas of the Qing Empire. The original intention of forcibly renting the Weihaiwei Military Port was in the Qing Empire's

The north should establish a forward base to fight against the possible movement of Russian forces to the south. But now that Russian forces no longer exist in the Qing Empire, Britain has lost the threat from the north, and the Weihai Guard Port has also lost its original strategic position.

Faced with the Bac Ninh government's aggressive offensive diplomacy, the British government wisely chose the strategy of avoiding its sharp edges and fully cooperating. It agreed to abolish the "Special Treaty on Leasing Weihaiwei" and hand over the Weihaiwei Military Port and its affiliated areas.

It is under the jurisdiction of the Bac Ninh government. All facilities in the port have been delivered intact, and the last batch of ships, soldiers, civilians and supplies will be evacuated only after the Bac Ninh military officially takes over.

This "somewhat flattering cooperation" between Britain, the world's most powerful country, and the Bac Ninh government, which is just a local government in the Qing Empire, really surprised politicians around the world!

But Kang Fan doesn't think so. Britain did this purely out of its own interests. It is better to make a friend than to make an enemy. What's more, the Bac Ninh government has defeated two world-class powers, Russia and Japan at the same time.

A veritable powerful enemy! It is natural for Britain to send a "favor" as long as its own interests are not harmed. Because the Bac Ninh government has not shown any intention to drive Britain out of the Qing Empire. On the surface, it seems that

Like the corrupt and cowardly Qing government, she still continued to tolerate the presence of Britain and France in the Qing Empire. Her eyes were still only fixed on the north of the Qing Empire, and the north was not safe now.

Of course, it was impossible for Kang Fan to recklessly confront the British when the current Beining jurisdiction did not have enough strength to compete with the British. He had to wait for the day when his strength was strong enough. Therefore, he chose

Germany, a relatively weak country, was its enemy and tried to force the British to retreat. The harder the Bac Ninh military beat the Germans, the more British people would be willing to "cooperate" with the Bac Ninh government. Facts show that this is what the British did

——This is a strategic success, not a tactical success, and it is also what Kang Fan had to do considering his own lack of strength.

The Beining military then peacefully took over Weihaiweijun Port, which had been occupied by the British in 1898, returning the former station of the Beiyang Navy to the embrace of the motherland. Once the news came out, hundreds of Beiyang Navy soldiers

The officers and soldiers gathered outside the Forbidden City and knelt on the ground outside the palace gate, saying that they had to see Kang Fan with their own eyes and say thank you personally before they left. When Kang Fan learned about it, he hurriedly resigned from the palace to greet him, and faced

The wrinkled, tearful faces of these veterans couldn’t help but burst into tears!

"Our ancients have a good saying: It is never too late for a gentleman to take revenge! Even if I wait another ten or twenty years, as long as I, Kang Fan, am still alive, I will let go of the invaders who have harmed our country and people.

Pay the price they deserve!" Kang Fan raised his arms and shouted in front of the palace gate, with an angry look on his face, "Officers and soldiers, war does not require tears, it requires fists! Fists! Do you understand?! Because we are all soldiers, and soldiers also

There is no need for tears, so we are not allowed to cry!" Even though he said this, he shed tears more joyfully than anyone else!

"Sir, you just told us not to cry." A veteran in the front row said with a tearful smile.

Kang Fan couldn't help but laugh, "This is not crying, it's tears."

"But my lord, you just said that soldiers don't need tears." The veteran persisted.

Kang Fan was stunned by the veteran's questioning and forgot what he wanted to say next. In desperation, he grabbed the veteran and gave him a very neat "back throw", but his movements were very gentle, basically

He "placed" the veteran on the ground, then faced the other veterans and smiled awkwardly, "I would like to add: Soldiers don't need to talk too much!"

All the veterans burst into laughter.

"At noon, I'll treat you all to roast duck. When you're tired, we'll all gather together with those fat chefs in Delhi!" Kang Fan shouted loudly.

The cheers of the veterans were earth-shaking, frightening all the civil and military officials who were pretending to be in court in the palace. They only dared to poke their heads out from the palace gate, and no one dared to come out.

After the "friendly cooperation" between the British government and the Bac Ninh government came to an end, the Bac Ninh military began to fully respond to the Germans' possible maritime attack.

However, unlike countries such as Britain, France, and the Netherlands, which all have colonies in Asia, Africa, and the Indian and Pacific Oceans, Germany is unable to provide its high seas fleet with an overseas fleet that can carry out mid-way material replenishment, crew rest, and ship repair and maintenance for its expedition to Asia.

base, and under the attack of the Bac Ninh military's already formed joint sea and air strike system composed of advanced aircraft and submarines, the ships of the High Seas Fleet will be stronger than the "Scharnhorst" and "Gneisenau"

Did they perform better? The most likely outcome is probably to end up with the same fate! Germany dominates Europe with its powerful army, but Germany is separated from the Qing Empire by an ocean. Could it be that the German army can get wings and fly over?

?

After weighing the pros and cons, the German military and civilians finally began to evacuate from Shandong in mid-November. At the same time, they announced that Shandong would be handed over to the Beining government and the "Jiao'ao Concession Treaty" would be abolished. However, they were still unwilling to accept defeat and prepared to attack various people in Qingdao before leaving.

Public facilities, private houses, shops, factories, port facilities, naval shipyards, power plants, etc., as well as railways, factories, mines, etc. in Shandong were wreaked havoc on, and anything that could be shipped out had to be shipped out. It was very abominable.

!

The intelligence officers stationed in Qingdao by the Bac Ninh Security Bureau learned the news in time. After receiving the report, Captain Li Jinqing of the former special operations force, who had been promoted to the director of the Security Bureau, was furious and personally mobilized 500 special operations officers and soldiers to board a "

The Eagle military transport plane took off from Beijing's Nankou base in an emergency, flew over Qingdao in just 1 hour and 40 minutes, and then landed by air. It mercilessly killed dozens of German engineers who were planting explosives and preparing to carry out explosions.

All German government officials in Qingdao were detained and forced to order all German troops to hand over their weapons and wait for disposal on the spot.

At the same time, hundreds of "Tiger" and "Leopard" armored fighting vehicles of the Beining Army Armored Mechanized Force surrounding Jiaozhou Bay rushed in at high speed, forming a torrent of steel, occupying Jiaozhou Bay in lightning speed, and Qingdao was

All important military and civilian facilities in the city were protected, and then the entire German garrison was driven to the Qingdao Port Terminal, where dozens of armored tanks were used to form a huge steel ring to guard these German troops.

In this way, the German troops who could have left Shandong with dignity like the British all became prisoners of the Beining military. As prisoners, they were lucky to be able to return home alive. How could they want to leave with their things? How could this make sense?

!

As a result, all the German troops, under the watchful eye of the Beining Army, boarded the neutral ships, several Spanish merchant ships, and "rolled" out of Shandong in embarrassment, including all the German soldiers and civilians who were allowed to transport these German soldiers and civilians back to China.

All German warships and merchant ships were also confiscated by the Bac Ninh military.

As for the remaining German expatriates, the Bac Ninh government did not make things difficult for them and allowed them to choose whether to leave or stay. The Bac Ninh government did not interfere.

The colonial measures implemented by the Germans in Asia were strangled by the Bac Ninh military as soon as they achieved some results. This was because it was beyond its reach, and secondly, Germany did not have a colonial system like the United Kingdom that could rely on its own colonial system all over the world.

To support a powerful navy that can fight and win in any sea area around the world, we can only face reality.

The reality is that Germany is in Europe, and Europe is the stage for Germany's extremely powerful army to show its strength, while its relatively weak navy can only go to nearby Africa to grab some interests. Asia, except for the world-class power-Japan

, the only country left that was not completely carved up by the European powers was the Qing Empire. However, the Germans were driven out of the Qing Empire by the Beining army. What can they do if they go to Asia again? Will they be beaten again?

After taking back Shandong, the Bohai Sea became the real inland sea of ​​the Qing Empire, and the key areas of Beijing and Tianjin were well protected. The Beining Navy also obtained Weihaiwei and Qingdao, two excellent military ports with complete facilities on the coast of the Yellow Sea.

, together with the Bac Ninh garrison on the Korean Peninsula to the east, it has further achieved effective control over the Yellow Sea and the Bohai Sea, greatly increasing the depth of maritime defense in key areas of Beijing and Tianjin, and also preparing the Bac Ninh military to continue to move towards the sea in the near future.

The Qing Empire laid a solid foundation for the "clearance" operations in the provinces south of the Yellow River, the southeastern coastal provinces, and the East China Sea and South China Sea.

But there was still work to be done in the north. Sakhalin Island, which was once the most ideal coastal defense barrier in the Northeastern Primorye of the Qing Empire, was still occupied by Russia and Japan, and Kang Fan targeted this island as his next target.

.Only by regaining this island, the security of the entire Northeastern Coastal Frontier Region of the Qing Empire will be guaranteed, which will open the passage to the Pacific Ocean. And after the security of the Northeastern Coastal Frontier Region is guaranteed, the Beining military will be able to free up its hands.

Come and march south.

While fighting against foreign enemies, the Bac Ninh government did not relax at all in controlling the domestic situation. Stabilizing the social stability in Bac Ninh's jurisdiction can be said to have stabilized the northern provinces of the Qing Empire, and the northern provinces of the Qing Empire were

Stability can effectively deter the southern provinces and gradually exert a strong influence on the southern provinces. Under the condition that the Beining government has been recognized by the majority of Qing citizens, the strategy of controlling the southern provinces will be easier to implement.

The more important point is that all policies, measures and actions of the Beining government are approved by the Qing court. It can also be said to be executing the will of the Qing court or it can be understood as safeguarding the entire Qing empire and the entire Qing Dynasty.

The interests of the people are legitimate "national" actions. The Bac Ninh government represents the Qing government rather than the Bac Ninh government itself, and it is not a "local" doctrine that easily arouses the resentment of the people.

People are more willing to accept this situation.

The intelligence agencies and special operations forces of the Bac Ninh Security Bureau, with the support of the officers and soldiers of the internal security forces, have accumulated experience and tempered themselves during many years of struggle against various domestic and foreign reactionary forces, and have become quite effective in maintaining social stability.

Lao Dao. Their tentacles are spread all over the country, dealing with countless ethnic separatists, Western spies, corrupt officials, bandit bullies, rioters, etc., and they are also engaged in foreign intelligence wars with Western powers, Japan, the United States, etc.

China's prestige spreads far and wide, and it plays a decisive role in stabilizing the situation on the Korean Peninsula.
