Eastern Empire, Sagami Bay.
A fishing boat went out to sea at night. The gray-haired old fisherman Taro Miyata and his son Kojiro Miyata were casting their nets.
But perhaps because they were too close to the coast, they didn’t get any fish at all.
"Father, I’m afraid we have to go a little further away. Otherwise, we won’t be able to catch any fish at all." Kojiro Miyata said.
"If we go further, what if we run into a Russian warship? The Russians kill people without blinking an eye and eat people without spitting out bones. By then, we will be dead." Taro Miyata shook his head repeatedly.
"Father, but there is no rice left at home. If we can’t catch any more fish, the whole family will starve to death. Rather than starving to death, it’s better to fight. Maybe there will be a turnaround." Kojiro Miyata said.
The Russian Empire imposed a comprehensive blockade on the Eastern Empire, completely cutting off the Eastern Empire’s sea transportation lines.
This caused the price of rice in the Eastern Empire to soar. Many Eastern families could no longer afford to eat.
As fishermen, the Miyata family was even more so. If they did not go out to sea to fish, the whole family would starve to death!
In this case, do they have any choice?
"Well, I hope Amaterasu can bless us." said Taro Miyata.
Under the cover of night, Taro Miyata and Kojiro Miyata drove their fishing boats to the deep sea.
However, their luck was not very good.
Just more than ten kilometers from the coast, they encountered a destroyer of the Russian Empire.
This destroyer, numbered D45, is a destroyer with a displacement of 2,000 tons. After discovering the small fishing boat, it immediately turned around and rushed over.
Taro Miyata and Kojiro Miyata, the father and son, were scared out of their wits. They hurriedly turned the small fishing boat around and tried to escape.
However, the speed of the small fishing boat was too slow and could not be compared with the warship at all.
Soon, their small fishing boat was caught up.
The warships of the Russian Empire Navy did not even want to waste shells and directly hit the small fishing boat with the bow.
How could a small wooden fishing boat compete with a warship?
Under the collision of a warship weighing more than 2,000 tons, the small fishing boat was smashed to pieces on the spot.
Taro Miyata was killed on the spot, and Kojiro Miyata fell into the water.
He did not emerge until the warship left. He did not care about his father who had been hit to death, and hurriedly swam to the shore.
However, it is undoubtedly difficult to swim more than ten kilometers and return to the shore.
In the end, Kojiro Miyata still failed to return to the shore and was drowned in the sea.
Such a scene is not an isolated case, and it is almost played out around the entire Eastern Empire.
A large number of Eastern people had to go out to sea to fish because they could not eat. However, what awaited them was the collision of warships of the Russian Empire Navy.Or they were sunk by naval guns.
So that these Orientals no longer dared to go out to sea to fish.
But in this case, there is only one result waiting for them. That is to be starved to death.
It can be said that the entire Oriental Empire will soon fall into famine due to the comprehensive blockade of the Russian Empire. At that time, I don’t know how many Orientals will be starved to death.
Although the top leaders of the Oriental Empire certainly don’t want this. However, in order to ensure the war, they must give priority to the supply of limited food to the army. In this case, the food that can be supplied to ordinary people will naturally be very limited. (To read the violent novel, go to Feilu Novel Network!)
A large number of Orientals can’t buy food, so they can only use other things to make a living.
Wild vegetables, leaves, bark, etc.
Selling children and daughters will soon become commonplace.
The Oriental Empire, Dongjing, the temporary prime minister’s office.
The previous Prime Minister’s Office had been destroyed by the large-scale bombing of the Russian Empire (adbc). This forced the Prime Minister of the Eastern Empire, Fumimaro Konoe, to find a new place as his official residence.
Even Hane Tenhuang had moved out of the palace. The Eastern Empire’s palace was also reduced to ruins by the large-scale bombing of the Russian Empire.
The faces of the senior officials of the Eastern Empire were very ugly at this moment.
They knew very well that the Eastern Empire was now in a desperate situation.
"Gentlemen, although the Russians have stopped the large-scale bombing of us. However, they have dispatched a large number of fleets to impose a large-scale blockade on us. The entire empire’s sea transportation lines have been completely cut off. We can no longer obtain the resources and food we need through overseas trade. Even the Lighthouse Country can no longer provide us with support. So, what should the empire do now?" Prime Minister Fumimaro Konoe was very troubled.
"Mr. Prime Minister, the Russians are too vicious. Not only did they cause us huge casualties through bombing, but they also left a large number of people homeless. This has also increased our resource consumption to a certain extent. And now, they have blockaded the empire and cut off the empire’s maritime trade lines. This clearly means that the empire can no longer obtain any resources from overseas. Even our fishing boats that went out to sea were sunk by the Russians.
The price of rice in the country has begun to soar. Many people can no longer buy rice and are beginning to starve. If this continues, there may be a large-scale famine. Many people will starve to death.
If the Russian blockade continues, we may not be able to hold on for much longer!"
Home Minister Tanabe Harumichi said.
The senior officials of the Eastern Empire suddenly didn’t know what to say.
They are actually very clear about the intentions of the Tsarist Russian Empire.
However, they have no way to change the current.
"The Russians want to use this method to attack us and weaken our strength. So that they can defeat us in the next war!" Foreign Minister Toyoda Sadajiro said.
"What does the military have to say about this?" Prime Minister Konoe Fumimaro asked.
The war has reached this point, which makes the actual power of the Eastern Empire completely in the hands of the army. Especially the army, which has become the de facto controller of the Eastern Empire.
"Your Excellency, Prime Minister, gentlemen. The Russians are indeed very vicious. However, if they think they can defeat us in this way, it is simply delusion. The soldiers and people of the empire will definitely persist. We are waiting for the day when the Russians land on the empire. At that time, the warriors of the empire will definitely make the Russians pay a heavy price!" General Tojo Yinji looked determined. .
