Rebirth of the Qing Empire

The sudden outbreak of war in the Far East caused a huge shock to the whole world, and immediately attracted the attention of the world. There was a weak condemnation abroad, but the people in the Qing Dynasty were extremely supportive. Demonstrations continued across the country, and celebrations were celebrated everywhere.

The Bac Ninh Army's feat of regaining lost ground was an unprecedented unity from top to bottom.

If a large country with a population of more than 400 million, a land of more than 10 million square kilometers, and a history of 5,000 years of civilization could truly unite and fight for a common goal, how much energy would it unleash?! Again!

What a frightening reality!

The Western powers are not fools. They even understand this truth better than the people of the Qing Dynasty. Therefore, what is different from the past is that this time, apart from their pale verbal declarations, various countries are not as keen on actual intervention as before, for fear of getting into trouble.

They all retreated.

In this way, Russia and Japan can only face this reality alone, because these two countries are real enemies and cannot unite to fight against the Bac Ninh government. This creates a considerable situation for the Bac Ninh military.

Favorable war prospects.

Kang Fan relocated the headquarters to the government office building of Fengyuan City, the former seat of the Japanese government on Sakhalin Island, and renamed the city Guangfu as the capital of Sakhalin. It will be located next to Guangfu City.

Not far to the south, Dabo, the former Japanese fishing port city that is now used as a temporary docking place for the Bac Ninh Navy, was renamed Sakhalin Port, and the bay where Sakhalin Port is located was also renamed Sakhalin Bay.

Of course, several other Russian and Japanese cities on the island have also changed their names to Chinese names one after another, stationed government staff, and began to perform government functions. Although these cities are called "cities", they are far from reaching the city standards of Bac Ninh, and at best they are

It can only be regarded as a relatively large village.

Sakhalin Island covers an area of ​​more than 76,000 square kilometers, equivalent to half the area of ​​Shanxi Province! There are more than 6,000 large and small rivers on the island, more than 1,500 lakes, and waterfalls with a height of more than 140 meters. Forests, swamps

Densely covered with wild animals and plants, rich in mineral resources and fishery resources, it is a fertile treasure land. Although it has been occupied by Russia and Japan for many years, it is far away from the economically developed areas of the two countries, and the climate is cold.

, inconvenient transportation and weak national strength, it has not been well developed. Except for the above-mentioned "cities" that have some characteristics of modern civilization, most of the island still has a primitive natural appearance, and those precious natural resources have not been

Being destroyed, this situation is quite ideal in Kang Fan's opinion!

The Qing Empire had a large population, so immigrating here was not a problem, and the Beining area had advanced technology and sufficient funds. As long as long-term peace was achieved, it would soon develop.

Since the Russian and Japanese military have not taken any actual action, the resettlement and development plan for Sakhalin Island has been implemented ahead of schedule.

The Bac Ninh government placed Sakhalin Island and the Kuril Islands under the jurisdiction of Jilin Province, and began to focus on the construction of Guangfucheng City and Sakhalin Port on Sakhalin Island, which in turn promoted the related development of the Kuril Islands and formed an emerging island economic development zone to further enhance the

Contribute to the comprehensive strength of the Bac Ninh jurisdiction. After the expansion and reconstruction, Sakhalin Port will be a modern commercial port and military port city, garrisoning the Bac Ninh Navy, and undertaking the maritime defense tasks of the Kuril Islands. The Kuril Islands will mainly be based on the coastal defense system

Mainly, there is no naval base, and only coast guard troops are stationed on Eltor Island to manage the entire archipelago and the surrounding waters to which the archipelago belongs.

At this time, the northern part of the Sea of ​​Okhotsk had begun to freeze, blocking shipping, but the southern part had not yet frozen, so all shipping was concentrated on the southern route.

The cargo ship loaded with supplies from Vladivostok Port went all the way north, crossed the Soya Strait between Sakhalin Island and Hokkaido Island, and unloaded the supplies at Sakhalin Port or Etoru Island in the Kuril Islands to support the construction of each island. Bac Ninh Navy and Coast Guard

Ships and aircraft patrol all waterways day and night, providing escort, rescue, icebreaking and other services to passing fleets, effectively ensuring shipping safety.

After the spring of next year, the northern transportation line is opened, and the materials from the mainland can be directly shipped via Heilongjiang water transportation or transported to Temple Street via railways and highways, and then transferred through Temple Street Port, across the Tartar Strait, and transported to the warehouse.

Several port cities in the northern part of the island, as well as products from Sakhalin Island, the Kuril Islands and other places can also be transported to Bac Ninh via this route, which will add a more convenient logistics channel. Therefore, the development pace of Temple Street City

It will also speed up.

After the preliminary defense deployment of Sakhalin Island and the Kuril Islands was completed, Kang Fan and his party returned to Temple Street and settled down in this small town. At present, due to the impact of the crazy military expansion and war preparations of various European countries, Russia has decided to concentrate its efforts on improving the western region.

Defense construction in key strategic areas in Europe, strong intervention in European affairs, and a defensive stance against the Qing Empire in the Far East. As a result, the Qing Empire's only remaining opponent in Asia was Japan. And now this opponent has been eliminated.

If you have teeth that you can use to do evil, bad days are bound to follow!

Since 1898, the Bac Ninh Security Bureau has been following Kang Fan's secret orders to selflessly support Taiwan's anti-Japanese armed forces, sending weapons and ammunition, living supplies, funds, etc. to the island through various channels.

After the Qing government was defeated in the Sino-Japanese War and ceded Taiwan to Japan, the residents of the island refused to accept the Qing government's resolution, broke away from the then Qing government, and persisted in the anti-Japanese struggle, which has not stopped for more than ten years. In order to safeguard the

Its colonial rule directed the Taiwanese occupying forces to carry out bloody suppression on the island residents. The anti-Japanese soldiers and civilians did not receive support from the Qing Empire. They were isolated and helpless, ran out of ammunition and food, suffered heavy losses, and were forced to turn underground.

Since Kang Fan came to this era, he has been thinking about this Chinese island occupied by Japan and the residents on the island. However, due to his lack of strength, support operations are also carried out secretly. The Security Bureau has placed many capable personnel in recent years.

After entering the island, they secretly trained anti-Japanese armed fighters, actively contacted capable people with lofty ideals from all over the island, and continued to expand the scale of the anti-Japanese armed forces. The results they achieved are quite gratifying.

In 1905, Kang Fan and others led the army to defeat the Japanese army. However, due to the lack of strong naval support, the plan to recover Taiwan could only be shelved. Since then, the newly established Ministry of Security of the Bac Ninh government continued to increase support for the anti-Japanese armed forces on the island.

A rear base was established in the Quanzhou area of ​​Fujian Province across the Taiwan Strait. In the name of carrying out trade with Taiwan Island, private fishing boats, cargo ships from Western countries, and submarines of the Bac Ninh Navy were used to transport materials and personnel, and at the same time within the base

Training the backbone of the anti-Japanese armed forces on the island has greatly improved the strength of the anti-Japanese armed forces on the island.

After the successful conclusion of the first phase of the "Revenge" operation, the Security Bureau personnel lurking on the island followed Director Li's instructions and led the anti-Japanese armed forces on the island to launch an armed uprising in Tainan and declared Taiwan's autonomy and placed it under the jurisdiction of Beining. On November 1

On the same day, the Beining government announced that it accepted the wishes of the Taiwanese people and sent troops to Taiwan to take over the island with great fanfare.

The Japanese occupying forces in Taiwan were caught off guard by this sudden attack and intended to rely on their superior strength to resist stubbornly and wait for local troops to be sent for support. However, the special operations forces of the Bac Ninh Government Security Bureau had already used the "Jiaolong" class submarine to covertly attack in the past few months.

Transport combat supplies, personnel and equipment into the island in batches, lurk throughout the island, and prepare to directly participate in the war.

Before the uprising began, thousands of special operations troops launched simultaneous attacks in several important cities such as Taipei, Taichung, Keelung, and Kaohsiung, cutting off all connections between the Japanese troops on the island and the outside world, and occupying their command structures and several important arsenals.

, material supply bases, etc., suddenly put the Japanese army on the island into a situation of fighting alone and cut off supplies, effectively supporting the frontal combat of the insurgent army. The hatred that Taiwan residents had accumulated for many years against the invaders was instantly triggered, and they attacked in groups.

The flames of war immediately spread across the island. Almost overnight, the entire island of Taiwan turned into a huge fireworks barrel!

At this time, the secret bases established by the Security Bureau in various parts of the island began to openly distribute weapons, ammunition and combat materials to the people participating in the uprising, and led everyone to act in unison according to the pre-established combat plan.

This plan that Kang Fan had been brewing for more than ten years has finally begun to be implemented, and the combat plan formulated by the Security Bureau can be said to be flawless: after more than ten years of operation, all activities on the island are under the control of the Security Bureau, and the entire Taiwan

The island is dotted with intelligence officers and secret bases of the Security Bureau. Tens of thousands of local anti-Japanese armed personnel have been personally trained by them, and all weapons, ammunition, combat supplies, and huge amounts of activity funds are used to maintain these anti-Japanese armed personnel.

All economic activities that are necessary for daily life can be said to be done by the Bac Ninh government.

What's interesting is that the economic activities the Security Bureau has been engaged in in the island in recent years are actually done out of necessity. The purpose is very simple, just to feed the anti-Japanese armed personnel on the island. But no one expected that it would get out of hand!

Agriculture, fishery, forestry, commerce, handicrafts, etc. are booming and basically constitute the main economic body of the island. Even the Japanese colonial government on the island is afraid of them. Of course, this is all based on the support of the Bac Ninh government.

The results achieved, although considered an unexpected gain, are of far-reaching significance.

In mid-to-late November, thousands of Japanese occupying troops who had lost unified command and logistical supplies were wiped out. With no hope of support from the mainland, they had no choice but to surrender after running out of ammunition and food. These brutal and domineering Japanese troops who used to dominate the island

The Japanese soldiers were imprisoned in various prisoner-of-war camps. They were attacked by the people on the island almost all the time, and they were in constant panic.

In early December, six "Qing" class cruisers escorted three regiments of army personnel and equipment loaded by 15 transport ships to land in Taiwan, completing the takeover of Taiwan Island and quickly completing combat deployment. At the same time, 20 "sea"

The "Eagle" seaplane carrying 500 special operations troops suddenly landed on Ryukyu Island, where the capital of the Ryukyu Islands is located, quickly broke down the resistance of the Japanese troops defending the island, and cooperated with the landing troops to occupy the entire Ryukyu Islands.

In January 1913, 72 "Seahawk" seaplanes assembled at the Vladivostok Naval Base relied on mid-sea refueling and supplies provided by the "Jiaolong" submarine sailing in the Sea of ​​Japan, flew across the vast Sea of ​​Japan, and began a long-distance attack on the Japanese Yokosuka naval port.

Air strike operation. This operation has a round-trip flight of nearly 3,000 kilometers, and on the way it has to cross Honshu Island, Japan's most economically developed and densely populated island, and fly over important cities such as Tokyo and Yokohama. It has caused great harm to the Japanese government, military and citizens.

Psychological shock! After many days of continuous aerial bombardment, Yokosuka Military Port also followed the footsteps of Sasebo and Kure Military Ports and became a ball of fireworks and scorched earth.

On January 21, the scene that the Japanese government least wanted to see finally appeared: after there was nothing worth bombing at the Yokosuka military port, the capital Tokyo suffered the first "air bombing" by the Bac Ninh military! But this time the "sea bombing"

The Eagle aircraft dropped not bombs, but paper leaflets. The intention was obvious, that is, if the Japanese government still did not surrender, then what would fall on Tokyo next would be real, indestructible steel bombs!

On February 2, the Japanese government finally succumbed to this series of blows, announced that it would give up its claim to sovereignty over Sakhalin Island, the Kuril Islands, and the Ryukyu Islands and the occupation of Taiwan Island and its affiliated islands, signed an armistice agreement, and signed an armistice agreement with the Qing government.

The hostilities ended. This series of major events, which greatly excited the people of the Qing Empire, were broadcast through the Bac Ninh Government Radio Station and the "Bac Ninh Daily", and immediately caused an uproar across the country. The people of the Qing Dynasty supported the Bac Ninh government's tough stance and

Action, the whole country shared the same hatred and stood clearly on the side of the Bac Ninh government. The royal cabinet of the Qing government was forced to announce the abolition of the Treaty of Shimonoseki signed with the Japanese government in 1895, which ceded Taiwan and its affiliated islands, and regained Taiwan Island and its affiliated islands.

Island sovereignty.

After witnessing the disastrous defeat of Japan, the Russian side was shocked and completely gave up the idea of ​​marching to the Far East. It proactively announced that it would return the northern part of Sakhalin Island to the Qing Empire, and continued to withdraw its forces toward Europe in the west.

In mid-February, after receiving notification from the Bac Ninh military, the Russian and Japanese governments hired neutral merchant ships, flying the Qing Dynasty's Yellow Dragon flag, to pick up their prisoners on Sakhalin Island, the Kuril Islands, Taiwan Island and the Ryukyu Islands.

Prisoners of war and expatriates. In early March, amid heavy snowfall, the last batch of soldiers and civilians were picked up, and the Bac Ninh government immediately announced to the world that the above-mentioned islands would be re-incorporated into the territory of the Qing Empire.

At this point, Kang Fancai finally realized his operational intention of going out of the first island chain. From north to south, he recovered all the lost Chinese old islands in the first island chain, completely opening the eastern gate to the Pacific. With this, he

Based on this, Kang Fan can build the ideal first island chain coastal defense circle: from the map, Sakhalin Island, Taiwan Island and Hainan Island, the three largest coastal islands of the Qing Empire, are located exactly in the territorial waters of the Qing Empire.

As long as these three islands are properly managed in the north, middle and south, they can not only form a very distinctive island economic system, but also use this as a basis to connect the Korean Peninsula and other island groups along the line, forming an ideal peripheral coastal defense line.

The first-layer defense circle is composed of numerous coastal islands as base points, using light ships, aircraft and coastal artillery to perform defense tasks.

As a result, Bac Ninh's manufacturing industry will need to produce more surface ships, submarines and aircraft to shoulder this important task. This is also a key task from now until an unknown time limit in the future.
