I'm playing whack-a-mole in Siberia

Chapter 471 Old-fashioned
When the British sailors entered Kyoto, it snowed heavily in Kyoto.

People in Kyoto braved the wind and snow to build a human wall in front of the British sailors to prevent them from entering Kyoto.

The British sailors used bayonets to clear the way and forced their way into Kyoto, again causing hundreds of casualties.

That night, the Dacheng family gathered again.

"I have made an agreement with my cousin that as soon as we arrive at the Metropolitan Police Department, my cousin will open the weapons arsenal and kill ghosts and beasts with us."

Cousin Kojima, who was also laid off, was the administrator of the weapons depot of the Kyoto Metropolitan Police Department.

"What if the head teacher objects?"

Some people are not firm in their stance.

"Then kill the section chief as well!"

Ojo did not want to rebel, but for a noble purpose: saving Japan.

Dmitri begged on the phone, the situation was critical.

Dacheng is determined to smash any obstacles on the way forward. Now even if Dashu's father comes back from the dead, he can't stop Dashu's actions.

"I have ordered the troops closest to Kyoto to set off. You close the embassy and protect yourselves-"

The Russian Legation in Japan is only two blocks away from the British Legation in Japan.

Everyone's blood boiled and they swore in unison.

The great city swore a poisonous oath and broke the cauldron.

Oshiro's grandfather was killed in the Southwest War, and his father was killed in the Sino-Japanese War. In Japan, Otsuki is a standard son of a good family.

"The Japanese have not launched an attack on the embassy yet, but if the British embassy falls, we will definitely be attacked by the Japanese. Please, send troops over immediately!"

Kzhakov did not expect that the situation in Kyoto had deteriorated to this extent.

On October 10, the Kyoto police opened the weapons depot, seized weapons and ammunition, and launched an uprising.

"We are now sworn to be a blood alliance. If anyone backs off midway, he will not have a good death and his descendants will not prosper!"

Dmitry, the Russian minister to Japan, asked for help from the Siberian fleet as soon as the uprising broke out.

Ojo believed that as long as the foreigners could be driven away, Japan could regain its independent status and be reborn.

In the Russo-Japanese War, the total losses of the Japanese army exceeded 60. It can be said that every family wears linen and every household wears mourning.

After opening their weapons arsenal, the Kyoto police launched an attack on the British Legation in Japan. The battle was fierce, with gunshots and explosions ringing across the city.

"The section principal is actually very good to us -"

"He will not have a good death! His descendants will not be able to prosper!"

Dmitri talked about the curtains, and saw the machine gunners waiting behind the barricade, and was frightened for a while.

"Be good to us, and you shouldn't stop us from saving the empire! You should join us in fighting for the empire!"

Dmitry called the Siberian Fleet from his office on the second floor of the Russian Embassy in Japan for help. On the other end of the phone was the Chief of General Staff of the Siberian Fleet Kzhakov.

Some people objected weakly.

Under this circumstance, the Russian Embassy in Japan is still very well prepared. It has not only strengthened the security of the embassy, ​​but also equipped it with heavy machine guns.

Although it is rare for an embassy to be attacked, it is not unheard of. During the Xinchou War, the embassies of various countries in the Qing Empire were attacked by the Qing army. There was a precedent.

What Dmitri didn't expect was that the Japanese did not attack the Russian Embassy in Japan, but instead attacked the British.

Well played!
Well done!

After hanging up the phone, Dmitri called for Michak, the embassy attaché.

"Sir, don't worry, the Japanese will never be able to break through our defenses."

Michak was so confident that the Russian Embassy in Japan was equipped with 6 heavy machine guns with more than 100 million rounds of ammunition.

Responsible for guarding the embassy is a meritorious force from the Amur Military District, which has repeatedly made military exploits in the Russo-Japanese War. Although the total number is only 60, more than half of the soldiers are medal recipients.

"God bless, I hope reinforcements arrive as soon as possible."

Dmitry was worried and had no sense of security.

Except for the street in front of the Russian Embassy in Japan, the other three sides are residential areas. If the Japanese want to attack, they will definitely bypass the heavy machine guns on the front and attack from the side or behind.

By then, let alone Mihak, I am afraid that Dmitry, the minister in Japan, will also take up arms.

Just when Dmitri was uneasy, Yuri and Shibaev were watching the fierce battle at the British Embassy in the tower on the roof of the embassy.

Yuri and Shibaev both participated in the Russo-Japanese War and were deeply impressed by the performance of the Japanese army in the Russo-Japanese War.

In the Russo-Japanese War, the Russian army had an absolute firepower advantage, especially in the second stage. The Japanese army often launched frantic attacks on the Russian positions despite the frenzied fire of the Russian heavy machine guns, and refused to retreat even if they suffered heavy casualties.

The Japanese troops who participated in the Russo-Japanese War either died in Kantung or were working in Kantung.

Most of the Japanese here are Japanese civilians.

The garrison of the British Embassy was also a regular army.

Civilians who have not received military training cannot compete with the regular army.

The British Embassy is also equipped with heavy machine guns.

Snow was still falling at this time, and although the line of sight was slightly obstructed, the flames of the heavy machine gun were extremely clear in the dark night.

It can be seen that the Japanese who besieged the British Embassy did not receive military training, and their weapons were insufficient. Many of them had kitchen knives, shovels, and even wooden sticks in their hands.

On the side of the British Embassy facing the Russian Embassy, ​​the ground was densely covered with Japanese corpses. The Japanese were not afraid of death. They stepped on the corpses on the ground and charged towards the embassy. Some people used the cover of the surrounding terrain to climb onto a nearby house, jumped into the British army's position, and fought with the British army.

After a long period of firing, the heavy machine gun emitted thick white smoke from the barrel like a boiling pot, and the machine gun shooter's sight was seriously obstructed.

Whoosh whoosh—

Several bullets flew past Yuri's head.

"Sukabule—are you so fucking blind?"

Yuri huddled behind the parapet and cursed.

The British machine gunner was not blind, but he was close to it.

Shibaev was so courageous that he pressed his helmet with one hand and held a telescope in the other to broadcast live.

"Suka BuLei, the Japanese are so brave - there are actually women - this man died miserably, his arms were blown off - holy shit, the Japanese actually have bombs!"

Shibaev's words faded, and a huge explosion suddenly came.

The power of a bomb depends entirely on how much explosive it contains.

The structure of the civilian simple bomb is not good, and it cannot rely on fragments to cause damage. It can only rely on the shock wave caused by the explosive. Even if it makes people dizzy for a moment, it can still create opportunities for the attacking Japanese.

After opening the ammunition depot, the bombs made by the Japanese were obviously much more powerful.

Although the attacking Japanese were entangled with the defending British troops, the Japanese still dropped bombs into the crowd.

So in an instant, the dizzy British army was overwhelmed by the swarming Japanese.

"Damn it, it's over, it's over, the British are over, it's our turn next!"

Shibaev wailed and pushed the gun with his almost frozen fingers.

Yuri pulled over the ammunition box next to him, which was filled with grenades.

As the outer defense line was breached, the entire British army retreated to the British Embassy and waited for reinforcements.

The Japanese were well prepared and planted explosives directly below the British Embassy.

After a loud bang, half of the British embassy was destroyed.

At this time reinforcements from the British navy finally arrived.

After the Japanese were dispersed, the British discovered that the British Minister in Japan had died in the explosion just now.

On October 10, the British Asiatic Fleet launched bombardments on Kyoto and Osaka in retaliation for the death of the minister stationed in Japan.

Kyoto and Osaka are both large and densely populated cities, and Japanese architecture is dominated by wooden buildings.

The Asiatic Fleet's bombardment sparked a fire that killed nearly 1.8 people and displaced hundreds of thousands more.

There was heavy snowfall in October, and the people were seriously lacking warm clothing and were in severe famine due to lack of food.

Within a day after the bombardment, more than 10 Japanese people died in Kyoto and Osaka. The atrocities committed by the British army in Japan finally aroused heated discussions in various countries.

Since the Boer War, Britain has been in an embarrassing situation of isolation internationally.

After the signing of the Good Faith Agreement, relations between Britain and France improved.

It was not the Russian Empire that was most dissatisfied with this, but Germany.

Since the signing of the Good Faith Agreement, Germany has been doing everything possible to undermine the Good Faith Agreement and break the alliance between Britain and France.

The contacts between Britain and the Russian Empire were also not hidden from the Germans.

Feeling a serious threat, William II decided to visit St. Petersburg the day after the British bombardment of Osaka.

George also has a new guest, Anne's cousin Carl Ludwig.

Karl Ludwig is the new German Minister to Amur. His wife, Countess Maria, is from Moscow and is related to Romanov by blood. She is considered George's cousin.

Karl had previously served in the German Army and was four years older than George. However, Karl's military rank was only a colonel, far inferior to George's cavalry general.

Cousins ​​and cousins ​​came hand in hand, and George and Anne held a welcome ceremony for Karl and Maria at the Yuriev Palace.

After meeting George, Maria took the initiative to meet Catherine, which immediately gained George's favor.

Catherine's status was special and she was not popular in St. Petersburg.

Ekaterina did not expect to be recognized by the imperial royal family. Most of the time, even if a member of the royal family came to Amur, Ekaterina would avoid seeing them.

Carl and Maria did their homework well and prepared gifts for George's children, including the little Grand Duke or the Grand Duchess, who Anne had not yet unloaded.

And it’s still a very thoughtful two portions.

Anne's first pregnancy was twins.

Really thoughtful.

Ekaterina and Anne also treated Maria very intimately, which made Karl feel a little emotional.

Before coming to Amur, Karl and Maria traveled to St. Petersburg to meet Nikolai and Alex.

Nicholas was okay, but Alex's indifference left a deep impression on Karl and Maria.

"Your queen is so old-fashioned. She may have forgotten that she is German. I didn't see her smile in the Winter Palace. Couldn't she smile?"

Carl complained in front of George.

George was not surprised that Alex was like this, and George had not seen her smile many times.
