As for Gaul, they didn't even bother to attend the meeting, they just contacted Ito Hirobumi privately.

As for the neon people’s protests and condemnation, just treat him as a breeze. Anyway, Daqing treats neon as a piece of fat.As long as the Neon Man does not compromise for a day, the attack will continue. If it weren't for the great powers to restrain him, he would have logged in.

Next day

Taking advantage of the cover of night, the Imperial Navy entered the Neon Inland Sea again and launched an attack on Nagoya, an important industrial city.

This time, the shelling lasted for half an hour, and another 3,000 incendiary bombs were fired. Hundreds of shells were fired not only at their ports, industrial areas, but even in commercial and residential areas.

It can be said that the entire industrial area of ​​Nagoya is almost in ruins, with tens of thousands of workers killed and injured, and there is almost no good house in the factory area.

Although not many cannonballs are projected in commercial and residential areas, the Neon Man’s house is a wooden structure. Under the action of the incendiary bomb, the fire spread rapidly, and it has spread throughout the city in half an hour.

The flames raged to the sky, the heat waves hit the people, and the fire was continuous and burned for three full days before being extinguished.

Next are Osaka, Kobe and other industrial cities. Almost every night the imperial navy will raid one or two cities, dropping at least one thousand incendiary and armor-piercing bombs in each place.

Winter Nuan Pavilion.

"The emperor! According to the navy's telegram and our estimation, the navy has attacked seven large cities in Neon and some small cities in the past few days, firing more than 13,000 incendiary high-explosive bombs and two armor-piercing bombs. More than a thousand fats, most of the industrial facilities in these cities have been destroyed, the commercial districts have been hit hard, and the death toll should exceed 300,000."

Zuo Zongtang handed a report from the General Staff to Wang Guangxu.

Naturally, these four hundred and thirty thousand people cannot be military personnel, but most of them are workers in factory areas, residential areas, and ordinary people in commercial areas. This is the result of Wang Guangxu's special mention.

As for Zuo Zongtang's people who are accustomed to life and death, they have no reaction to this number. In the history of a civil war, four millions and tens of millions of people are normal.

The number of people who died in Neon is a number in his eyes.

"The navy has done a good job. Let them continue their actions and continue to attack their coastal industries. I see how long they can hold on."

Wang Guangxu nodded his head to express his satisfaction. The navy's efficiency was quite satisfactory and he was not merciless.

People in this era are not so much hostile to neon, but some look down on them, thinking that this effect dares to challenge the authority of Qing Dynasty in East Asia and must be sanctioned.

They have not experienced the war of resistance.I also don't know the cruel things Neon did in Neon Invasion.

The source of feud is the Neon Rebellion and the Neon invasion of Yingzhou.Ranwenba www.ranwenba.com

"When will the southern offensive be launched!"

Wang Guangxu continued.

"It's almost time to live than work. Within a week, the army will launch an offensive against several large cities in the southern country, striving to win there in half a month. If you are concerned about casualties, you can win it in a month."

Zuo Zongtang blurted out inexplicably, the old man had already taken everything in his heart.

"The sooner the war on land ends, the better, but there should not be too many casualties. Zuo Qing will definitely be able to grasp this."

"In addition, think of a way to attack their Dongdu, although it is more difficult to attack there, but if you can succeed, the gain will be huge,"

"As the economic capital of a country, if they are all destroyed, they have no other way to go except to accept our terms."

After the Meiji Restoration, Neon moved the capital from Kyoto to Edo (the eastern capital).

As the capital city, not only a large number of large-caliber shore defense guns are deployed here.Moreover, the East Capital is in the East Capital Bay. Once a naval warship enters the East Capital Bay, it can be said to have suffered from three sides.

Since the Qing Navy began to attack their coastal cities, they have deployed a large number of mines in Dongdu Bay. Yoshino and other ships have also been urgently transferred to Dongdu Bay. With hundreds of gunboats and torpedo boats, the defense seems solid. .

"The minister understands! Since the shelling began, a large number of Neon people have begun to move inward, which makes it impossible to restore their destroyed coastal economy...

"Neon is a neon, and their most developed places are these coastal cities. Once these cities are not recognized and the industry cannot be restored, they will gradually regress to the agricultural society. If it continues, the neon people will not be able to stand it. ,"

"Once the iconic place of Dongdu is destroyed, their coastal economy will collapse directly. Neon must accept our terms."

"I think the Navy will overcome these difficulties!"

With the increasing acceptance of new ideas in recent years, even Zuo Zongtang has highlighted many new terms.

"Try to do it, if it doesn't work, give up and take your time!"

"Also, let Li Hongzhang add another one and take down Tsushima Island. They want our Yingzhou, so we will directly take one of their Tsushima Island, which can be a springboard for attacking neon from the stick."

Wang Guangxu nodded. Now that he has a greater advantage, he must add chips. Although he can't land in their homeland, he can prepare in advance.

"Yes! The emperor! I think the Navy will find a way to do it."

Zuo Zongtang's face was shocked and became serious. ..
