Chapter 495(1/2)
From the night of September 15, 1894 to dawn the next day, the American Navy attacked the Pearl Harbor Naval Base of the Empire of China.
At 8:00 a.m. on the 16th, the Chinese Empire held a press conference to expose the ugly actions of the American Navy to attack the Chinese Empire to the world. At the same time, it issued an ultimatum to the American Alliance, demanding that the American Alliance government make a reasonable explanation within 24 hours.
After Roosevelt received the news, he realized that Dewey led the main force of the American Navy to attack Pearl Harbor, but the intelligence personnel at Sakuraweiyi did not send back the news. It was supposed that the Chinese Empire blocked the news.
Without a radio system, Roosevelt could not contact the Dewey fleet and did not know what the result of the sneak attack on Pearl Harbor was.
But a sneak attack on Pearl Harbor had already happened. Faced with the ultimatum of the Chinese Empire, Roosevelt naturally ignored it and immediately sent a telegram to order the embassy of the Chinese Empire. Consulates in various places quickly evacuated and fled to the embassy of the neutral country for refuge.
The Chinese Empire was prepared for a long time and was ready to arrest before the news was released.
When the American Embassy staff in China fled in a hurry, they were quickly arrested and captured them one by one.
After receiving this news from the Embassy of the Neutral State, Roosevelt was furious and ordered the arrest of staff of the Chinese Embassy in the United States. Unfortunately, the Embassy of the Chinese Empire was prepared and fled to the Embassy of the Neutral State early in the morning and received political asylum.
At about nine o'clock, the Chinese Empire announced that the United States of America had no sincerity and directly canceled the 24-hour ultimatum, officially announced that it would declare war on the United States of America, and at the same time, it carried out a national war mobilization.
Seeing that the Chinese Empire had declared war, Roosevelt was not willing to be outdone, and immediately ordered Congress to pass the prepared declaration of war. The current American Congress has long been in name only and can only obey Roosevelt's dictatorship, so it quickly approved the declaration of war and carried out a national general mobilization of war.
At 10:15, the United States of America held a press conference and officially declared war on the Chinese Empire.
As the Chinese and American governments formally declare war on each other, the outbreak of the Sino-US war.
At the same time, the member states of the Allied Group also held emergency meetings.
The German Empire had long guessed that the Chinese Empire might provoke war ahead of schedule, so it started a secret war mobilization half a year ago. As a result, the American Navy first attacked the Chinese Empire, which shocked and angry both William II and Bismarck.
After receiving a written notice from the Chinese Empire, he learned that the Chinese Empire had declared war with the American Alliance, William II and Bismarck looked at each other, helpless and excited.
At about 12 o'clock, the German Empire held a press conference and officially declared war on the Union of America, opening the prelude to the declaration of war on the members of the Allies.

At 2:40 p.m., the Federation of Americans declared war on the Federation of Colombia and the Brazilian Empire respectively.
...
From the morning of September 16 to the afternoon of September 17, the content of the major media around the world was basically flooded with two words to declare war.
The Chinese Empire, the German Empire, the Kingdom of Italy, the Austro-Hungarian Empire, the Ottoman Empire, the Federation of Colombia, the Brazilian Empire, etc., declared war on the Allies' countries.
The United States, the British Empire, the Second French Empire, the Tsarist Russian Empire, the Japanese Empire, the Dutch Republic and other countries also declared war on the member states of the Allied countries.
With so many countries declaring war with each other, the people of the world were instantly in chaos, and the whole world felt like the whole world was in chaos.
But one thing they knew very well was that the Allies and the Allies had officially started war and the world war broke out.
Of course, declaring war is different from formally sending troops to fight.
Declaring war can declare war at any time. That is a political attitude, which means that both sides can no longer communicate through politics.
And the official start of the battle is a military matter, and it requires a national war mobilization, which takes time.
Among all the participating countries, the only countries that do not need or immediately complete the national war mobilization is the three countries: the Chinese Empire, the German Empire and the United States.
The Chinese Empire had planned a long time ago and began war preparations one and a half years in advance. Therefore, once war was declared, the Chinese Empire's Divine Army could start a war immediately.
The German Empire was a little slower than the Chinese Empire, but it also began to conspire to mobilize war half a year ago. Therefore, after declaring war, the German Empire team could also send troops to fight within a few days.
The American Alliance countries were half a beat slower than the Chinese Empire and the German Empire, but the American Navy was the first to launch a sneak attack and start a war. The American Army did not mobilize the war in advance to prevent being noticed by the Chinese Empire. However, the American Navy completed the mobilization of the war early, and there was no need for the Chinese Empire to be slow at all.
In this regard, Roosevelt's IQ and methods are comparable to those of Li Weiguo.
As for other countries, I don't know at all.
If we had to compare the order of order, then the Allies knew that the war was about to break out three days earlier than the Allies. Because three days before the American Navy attacked Pearl Harbor, Roosevelt changed his mind and notified the member states such as Britain, France, Russia and Japan in advance.
On the other side of the Allies, the Chinese Empire and the German Empire did not inform them in advance from beginning to end.
However, three days do not have a decisive impact.
Whether it is the Allies such as Britain, France, Russia and Japan, or the Allied countries such as Italy and Otugo, they cannot complete the national war mobilization without a month or two.
During this period, all countries have to assemble troops and materials. This is not the information age. Even if it is three days apart, it has nothing to do with the overall situation.
But for the German Empire, there was a chance to attack first.
The German Empire secretly completed the general mobilization of war, so after declaring war, German Emperor William II immediately issued an order to attack the French Empire first, and at the same time, he made a defensive position in the direction of the Tsarist Russian Empire.
The efficiency of the Tsarist Russian Empire was long known by the intelligence departments of the German Empire, so William II deployed an army on the western front to defend against the Tsarist Russian Empire, and concentrated all the remaining elites to attack the French Empire with all their strength.
Schriefen, chief of staff of the German Empire, had long formulated a blitzkrieg plan, avoiding the French troops deployed in the direction of Alsace and Lorraine in France, raided Luxembourg from the flanks, and then directly attacked French mainland.
Luxembourg learned that the Allies and the Allies were about to go to war in the morning and was preparing to mobilize the people to defend themselves. However, in the afternoon, the Luxembourg Defence Force was wiped out by the Germans.
In just one day, the German army occupied Luxembourg and then broke into the French mainland.
In an instant, the French Emperor was stunned.
Meanwhile, on the Pacific battlefield.
After the Japanese Empire and the Chinese Empire declared war on each other, they knew that the Emperor urgently ordered Yuyuki Ito to lead the joint fleet to return to Sasebo immediately to guard against the Chinese Empire's attack.
At the same time, the American Navy Asian fleet was also on guard in Edo Bay and was ready to go to the Pacific battlefield at any time to cooperate with the Dewey fleet to control the entire Pacific Ocean.
Until this time, Roosevelt only knew that Dewey had attacked Pearl Harbor, but still didn't know whether Dewey had destroyed the main force of the Imperial Navy Pacific Fleet, so he did not dare to be careless and let the Asian fleet stay honestly in Yokosuka waiting for the order.
On the high seas near Japan, the main force of the Imperial Navy's Pacific Fleet was still moving forward through the waves, but the target was no longer Edo Bay, but changed the route and headed straight to Kumano Bay. Because the Japanese ship reading style was held in advance, the Japanese Navy Combined Fleet left Edo Bay early and was returning to Sasebo.
The plan could not keep up with the changes, to be precise, the change was too fast, which forced Li Weiguo to give up his plan to attack Edo Bay and chose to intercept the Japanese Navy Combined Fleet halfway through Kumano Bay.
The interception of the halfway was obviously much more difficult than the night attack, but Li Weiguo had no choice but to scold the Japanese devils for leaving the luck.
The Japanese Navy must be eliminated because it is a wild dog at the gate of the Chinese Empire and will bite people.
If you cooperate with the American wolf, the consequences will be even more serious.
Therefore, in Li Weiguo's eyes, the Japanese joint fleet must be eliminated.
Fortunately, although he missed the sneak attack on Edo Bay, Li Weiguo decisively redeployed and intercepted the Japanese joint fleet on his way back in Kumano Bay.
The weather just turned clear and the air was still very cold, but the three seaplanes of the Imperial Chinese Navy could take off, and soon the main force of the Japanese Navy Combined Fleet was discovered 80 nautical miles northeast.
Li Weiguo suddenly became excited, but the flowers have faded these days.
"Fight Alert!"
"All members immediately enter the combat post, repeat, this is not an exercise!"
The red warning light was flashing, and the officers and soldiers on the Furious battleship quickly entered the state of combat. At the same time, the officers and soldiers on other ships also quickly entered their respective combat posts.
In just a few minutes, the entire fleet completed its combat preparations.
The word well-trained is fully reflected at this moment.
Li Weiguo changed into a special military uniform of the head of state, and accompanied by senior generals such as Li Weijun, he came to the bridge tower.
Finally, it was time for this moment. Li Weiguo was excited. He wanted to witness the Japanese Navy to be beaten and urinate the history of the Sino-Japanese War in 1894-1895.
"Your Majesty, the battle will begin later. Please be sure to stay in the commander's tower to make sure you make sure to make sure you make sure to do everything."
Li Weijun once again sincerely advised.
Li Weiguo shook his head, pointed to the tower above the main mast, and smiled and said, "I am right above. I want to see our cannons sink the Japanese warships with my own eyes!"
