Even with a telescope, Masao Sagawa still couldn't figure out what it was.

But not understanding it doesn't mean he has no combat awareness.

He, the other officers, and all the Japanese soldiers looked up at the sky, watching the black spot grow bigger and bigger...

"Danger!!" Masao Sagawa yelled.

But how could they possibly avoid something dropped like this?!

"Bang——" accompanied by a loud bang.

Masao Sagawa's eyes fell into darkness.

Not far away, Zhou De and a group of sailors who could swim were watching from afar. Their eyes were wide open, and they looked at the upside-down world and the raging waves not far away in shock.

After a while, the planes in the sky flew away and the water surface became calmer.

Zhou De waved his hand and said, "Brothers! Let's go and capture these Japanese pirates who shamelessly said they wanted to capture our Marshal Ye alive!"

“Go!!”

"Capture the Japanese pirates alive!"

"Capture the Japanese pirates alive!"

Tens of thousands of Japanese troops were wiped out before they even landed. Only 6,000 were left, and all were captured alive!

The Northern Province did not block the news, so the news spread to the country and abroad in an instant.

Suddenly, it shocked people both at home and abroad.

"Tens of thousands of Japanese soldiers... were gone before they even reached the shore?! They even captured six thousand alive?!" Qin Ce was stunned.

The officers under him were also stunned.

"This... should be true."

There was absolutely no need for Ye Baizhi to lie!

According to the time calculation, the Japanese army should have landed and started to cause trouble in the Northern Province, but in fact, the Northern Province was very peaceful. People were working, patrolling, and farming.

So there is only one answer -

The Japanese army was defeated by Ye Baizhi at sea!

Qin Ce stood up suddenly: "So, Marshal Ye said that he didn't show us the secret, is this her secret?!"

Those were tens of thousands of Japanese soldiers with warships! !

How on earth did she manage to wipe them all out at sea?!

Are there so many people in Northern Province?!

How could they be wiped out at sea without so many people? How could they be captured alive?!

Qin Ce was shocked and confused.

The other warlords were also shocked and confused.

The newspapers they published questioning and condemning Ye Baizhi seemed to be still vivid in my mind, but it was only a few days ago? The situation had changed completely in an instant!

Japan is gathering a large army and is coming.

The Japanese are coming.

The Japanese warships are approaching the northern province.

The Japanese are gone!

This fucking reversal was so huge that they couldn't accept it for a moment!

Jiang Cheng couldn't accept it either.

The cup in his hand fell to the ground, his face turned blue and red, and his men were silent, no one spoke.

After a while, Jiang Cheng said in a hoarse voice: "Send someone to find out what's going on..."

"Someone has been sent..." the subordinate responded.

Then, a middle-aged man asked with a sullen face, "General Jiang, Ye Baizhi is from our Southern Province. If it's true that she wiped out the Japanese army at sea this time, then the last time she killed tens of thousands of Japanese soldiers, she might have been the one who did it."

Another person continued, "In that case, we have to reassess Ye Baizhi's strength... After all, our Nan Province has a mortal enemy with her."

Jiang Cheng stood up suddenly, his expression changed, and finally he said with certainty -

"There must be something fishy going on here. Even with the new weapons Qin Ce has, can they annihilate tens of thousands of Japanese troops? Don't forget, they're sailing warships, and they're at sea! Does the Northern Province have that many people to capture 6,000 Japanese soldiers alive?"

He took a deep breath and ordered—

"Send more people to investigate and find out what's going on! We must also find out about the new weapons Qin Ce and Ye Jun have. It would be best if we can find a way to get some!"

"yes!"

In addition to Qin Ce and Jiang Cheng, other warlords were also holding meetings to discuss the battle between Ye's army and the Japanese army.

This war was so confusing. The Japanese army was about to land one moment, and the next moment it was destroyed.

What on earth happened in between?!

How could they be wiped out at sea?!

All the warlords were shocked and in disbelief.

But it must be said that the five words "Ye Baizhi from Northern Province" instantly became well-known, and made the domestic warlords and people abroad who were paying attention to this war remember this name.

It wasn't just the warlords in the country who were shocked.

Those foreigners who stayed in the Beidu Concession were also dumbfounded, especially the Y and F people who provided weapons.

What about the agreed internal and external cooperation?

Before they could even take action, the outside world was gone...

Gone!!

They themselves are very clear about the quality of the weapons they provide.

That was the most advanced weapon in the world. Even if it was inferior to the guns Ye Jun had brought out, there was no way they could lose at sea, right?!

They have warships!

But this group of Ye’s troops don’t have any warships!

If the world war wasn't going on at that time and Country F and Country Y were not also at war, they might have sent some people on warships with new weapons to destroy Ye Baizhi.

Because they don't think that with their current weapons, they will lose to the people of the Republic of China who have always been suppressed by them.

However, facts speak louder than words, especially at this moment, all the Japanese who are still alive have been rescued from the sea by Ye Jun and imprisoned in the current Ye Marshal's Mansion, the original Japanese base.

The people of Country F and Country Y are really stupid.

"What the hell is going on?!"

"Did you see Ye Jun send anyone out?!"

"The port has been taken over by Ye Jun, so we can't find anything. But from a distance, we can see some large ships, but definitely no warships!"

"Yes, if there were any warships we would have discovered them long ago."

"How on earth did they win?"

"What happened at sea?"

"What should we do now?"

"Investigate! We must find out what happened and report it to our country..."

…

Outside, someone suddenly rushed in and shouted—

"Oh no! The embassy has been surrounded by Ye Jun's men!"

Masao Sagawa did not die. He was just knocked unconscious and injured at the time.

But at this moment, he wished he were dead.

He stared at the enemies in front of him with wide eyes, wishing he could draw his gun and kill them immediately!

It was these people who flew planes and dropped powerful bombs on them, which wiped out so many Japanese troops. Now all those who are still alive have been taken under control.

But he was tied up and could do nothing.

"Let me go! The emperor will definitely send people to kill you!" Masao Sagawa roared angrily.

His words were repeated by the translator beside him.

Liu Li immediately stepped forward and hit him on the head with a "bang".

"How dare you! You, a defeated general, still dare to be stubborn. Come on, let your emperor send people, and we will beat you in batches! We will beat you until there is no one left!" Liu Li said proudly.

Masao Sagawa's eyes flashed with gold.

But his face turned pale because of these words.

When did these people from the Republic of China get such powerful weapons?!

How can we fly into the sky and attack them accurately?

If Ye Jun had this weapon, it would be useless to send more soldiers.

"Who is helping you? Which country is providing the weapons?" asked Masao Sagawa.

——Obviously, he looked down on the people of the Republic of China from the bottom of his heart.

Then, he was met with another beating.

When he was hit again and saw stars, he suddenly heard a calm female voice.

"Okay, don't kill him, you still need to keep him for money."

Suddenly, there was a burst of laughter.

Someone else asked, "Marshal Ye, should we keep them for the time being and wait for Japan to redeem them?"

"The officers will stay, and the other soldiers will be starved and taken to build the road." Bai Zhi said lightly.

Masao Sagawa suddenly looked up at her.

Ye Baizhi!

The woman just happened to glance at her, a look without any emotion, but it made people inexplicably feel cold from the bottom of their hearts.

This is Ye Baizhi!

It was Ye Baizhi who killed tens of thousands of Japanese soldiers, destroyed their base, and finally said "welcome" to them!

"Ye Baizhi, you bastard! We will definitely occupy this land!" Masao Sagawa struggled, gritted his teeth, and wanted to attack Ye Baizhi.

"Bang--"

The last thing he saw in his life was the woman putting away her gun.

She still looks so calm and composed.

Before Masao Sagawa fell into darkness, he was full of disbelief.

He had just heard her want to use them to demand a ransom from Japan, so why did she attack him again?!

No matter how many whys I ask, I can never get an answer.

Masao Sagawa was shot in the middle of his eyebrows. There was silence for a second, and someone immediately stepped forward to drag him away.

Baizhi wiped her hands and walked out.

Zhou De and his companions hurried to follow.

Bai Zhi: "I am a peace-loving person, but unfortunately there are always people who want to start a war."

Zhou De: “…………”

Japan was also shocked.

The emperor and his court officials sat together, looking at the battle report, and for a moment they didn't know what to say.

"We have so many soldiers... and we were all defeated?" The emperor spoke slowly.

The court officials hung their heads and said nothing.

"We lost before we even reached the shore. When did that country become so powerful? Why don't we have any news about it?" he asked again.

The court officials remained silent.

They don't know.

It was clear that just a few months ago, the people in that land were being strangled by them at will.

As for the sea?

The Great Zheng at that time was even more vulnerable!

But now, what happened? How did they lose in such a short period of time?

This group of soldiers and weapons were all prepared with great difficulty by their country with a small territory. He sent them there to occupy more land and gain more benefits.

But what is the result?

At this moment, someone else came up to report.

"Report—Ye Baizhi from Northern Province of the Republic of China publicly told us..."

"What?" someone asked anxiously.

"Ye Baizhi asked us to redeem them with 20,000 taels of silver for each soldier and 50,000 taels of silver for each officer. She also asked me to do it as soon as possible because we still need to pay 100,000 taels of food allowance for 6,000 Japanese soldiers every day..." the man stammered.

Suddenly someone stood up and yelled angrily: "Asshole!!"

This is an exorbitant price!

Forget the ransom. Can six thousand people eat food worth one hundred thousand taels a day?!

The man knelt on the ground, prostrating himself, and choked with sobs, "Ye Baizhi also said that it would be best for us to make a decision soon. If we don't want to change, they can execute us as soon as possible..."

It's very simple, either a sky-high ransom or watching 6,000 Japanese soldiers being executed.

Are they willing to pay so much money for these 6,000 Japanese troops?

This is no longer a matter of whether they are willing or not, but the whole of Japan already knows about it. That's 6,000 people, not just 6!

If he doesn't change...

Are the Japanese still willing to support him as the emperor?

But if they were to exchange it, could they come up with so much silver?

The Emperor of Japan sat on it with a pale face.

The sky-high ransom was known not only abroad but also in China.

The major newspapers went crazy.

The patriots were so excited that they cried with joy. Countless articles of praise flooded into the newspaper office. For a while, Ye Baizhi and Ye Jun of Northern Province were all the objects of praise by the writers.

They finally stood up!

They finally got back the humiliation and loss!

Ordinary people were also excited.

"Oh my god, twenty taels of silver per person, how much would six thousand people cost?"

"Too many to count. They used to say that Marshal Ye of Northern Province was giving workers two silver dollars a month, which was too good a deal. It's sure to last a while before she runs out of money. If Japan compensates her, she'll be incredibly rich!"

"I want to go to the Northern Province. Marshal Ye is rich in the Northern Province..."

"It is said that those Japanese were forced to work on the road construction, and people often beat them up. As long as no one died, Ye Jun didn't care."

"They deserved it! I'm going to Northern Province to fight them too. They killed my dad, and they also killed my mom..."

"Go, we support you, but don't kill them, just beat them half to death. That's 20,000 taels per person!"

"Well, I won't kill him, I'll just cripple him!"

"They deserve it for letting them invade us and attack us!"

"Marshal Ye has done a great job. With Marshal Ye in Northern Province, we no longer have to fear the Japanese!"

…

Feng Kunjun of Liao Province was also discussing Ye Baizhi with his men.

"Although Ye Baizhi is a very crazy woman, she can be quite satisfying sometimes..." one of his subordinates said.

However, just as he finished speaking, he was bumped by the person next to him.

He suddenly looked at Feng Kunjun, and sure enough, the other party's face looked very unhappy.

When Ye Baizhi had not come, the Northern Province was in chaos. Because the Japanese were so powerful, Feng Kun's army always kept a low profile and never dared to offend the Japanese for fear of being attacked by them.

Later, Marshal Ye of Northern Province came to power. He not only wiped out all the Japanese pirates in Northern Province, but also showed no fear when they attacked her. He even wiped out tens of thousands of Japanese soldiers, captured 6,000 alive, and demanded a huge ransom...

The contrast is too obvious.

It’s no wonder that people all over the country are praising her. Even Feng Kunjun’s subordinates feel relieved and proud.

but……

You know, the Liao Province’s army is still stationed at the border with the Northern Province!

What is the purpose of their presence?

——It was to force Ye Baizhi to surrender and apologize, and not cause them any trouble.

Now, the face was slapped loudly.

The subordinates all felt embarrassed, and they didn't dare to look at their coach's expression...

Feng Kunjun remained silent.

Finally, the deputy general spoke up: "General Feng, Ye Jun was able to defeat the Japanese army, so her combat effectiveness must be very strong... and now everyone in the country is praising her. If we stay here any longer... isn't it a bit inappropriate?"

That's putting it too mildly.

But everyone knew what he meant.

First of all, you may not be able to beat the other person, and secondly, what right do you have to beat the other person?

Because they defeated the Japanese army?

This is not how a traitor behaves!

Feng Kunjun's face was pale and red, and after a while, he gritted his teeth and said -

"retreat."

It turns out that General Feng of Liaoning Province is a two-faced person who can bend and stretch himself.

Northern Province, Marshal Ye's Mansion.

"Hahaha, it feels so good!" Liu Li laughed.

Zhou De and the newly promoted officers also smiled brightly, held their chins high, and showed unprecedented pride.

It really is so fucking satisfying!

"But...what if Japan doesn't want to?" Huang Ping suddenly added weakly.

While speaking, he glanced at Bai Zhi cautiously, fearing that she would suddenly draw her gun and shoot him.

"Then kill them all!" Chen Jianye's voice was murderous.

"Don't always fight and kill. Remember Ye Jun's slogan - we are for peace." Bai Zhi's voice was full of condemnation.

Subordinates: “…”

No matter how many times I hear this peace, it still makes my hair stand on end!

Bai Zhi: "Is the warship almost finished?"

"Yes! You provided the perfect blueprints, and countless workers have been working day and night. The new warship is almost completed!"

Li Fuyu excitedly said, "Our warships are absolutely unprecedented in the world! Even if they were to combine their forces, they still couldn't defeat our warships!"

Bai Zhi: "So, Japan will definitely redeem the person."

Zhou De and others: "..." Why do I feel a chill on my back again?

"Have those people from Country Y and Country F been arrested?"

"They've been captured!" Zhou De nodded, then paused. He asked doubtfully, "There are so few of them. Should we demand a ransom? Or should we just kill them?"

Bai Zhi continued to wipe her glasses. After hearing this, she paused and looked at them: "Who said I want them to redeem someone?"

She put on her glasses and said lightly—

"I want them to pay compensation of 100 million taels of silver."
