Chapter 669 Mi Lijian is great again (Third update, please subscribe)
The capital of the Tang Dynasty!
I don’t know since when, in the hearts of the Tang people in Nanyang, Chang’an became their capital.
Maybe it was last year, or maybe a few years ago - after the Tang people in Yogyakarta were attacked by the indigenous people, Nanyang directly sent planes to bomb Yogyakarta in retaliation.
This move allowed the Tang people in Southeast Asia to see their reliance - for the first time, someone used force to protect them.
With the economic rise of Nanyang, Chang'an almost naturally became the "capital of the Tang Dynasty", especially after the dramatic changes in Tangshan.
So many Tang people who are new to Taoism will regard this city as a tourist attraction. However, for Li Guangyao, he does not have much time to spend. After all, the reason why he came here is to Work.
Although the original plan was to go for a stroll, such as going to the zoo to see the legendary cats and bears, in fact, since getting off the plane, Li Guangyao has been staying in the law firm busy with the work at hand. . Tang Dacheng's law firm is not big, it is a very small law firm, with only himself and one assistant. Although the firm is not big, the business is good - Nanyang is very similar to the UK, and many things are inseparable. Lawyers, because there are only a limited number of practicing lawyers, their business is often very good.
This time Li Guangyao came here for a patent lawsuit - a toy factory in Lion City infringed on the technology patent of a Nanyang manufacturer, so the other party sued the Lion City company in court, and Li Guangyao was acting as that company The company's attorney came to Nanyang to litigate the case, and Tang Dacheng provided assistance during the trial, but he needed to be paid a 20% dividend.
However, Tang Danian was not directly involved, but only provided some assistance. Li Guangyao, who has obtained a lawyer's license in the UK, can practice law within the Commonwealth, but he will inevitably need some assistance. Especially this kind of patent lawsuit requires the assistance of local lawyers, so we found Tang Danian.
"This case seems a bit tricky!"
Once again, Li Guangyao's brows furrowed after looking through the documents in the law firm for a long time.
“As far as the current situation is concerned, we can only apply for an out-of-court settlement. I hope the other party will not open his mouth.”
After looking through the information for a long time, I knew that there was no hope. Li Guangyao reluctantly put down the materials in his hands, stood up from his chair, and then went downstairs to the street alone.
Although it is not the rainy season in Chang'an in September, it is still raining in the sky. Pedestrians are walking on the sidewalk with umbrellas, and the subway entrance at the intersection is even more crowded. Looking at the bustling pedestrians on the street, Li Guangyao could see that these Nanyang people were different from those in the Lion City. Although they were all from the Tang Dynasty, most of the Nanyang people came from the northern interior. They were generally taller and had a full expression. Contentment and smile are very special.
"...It feels like the difference between them is this feeling!"
Looking at the pedestrians passing by on the road and feeling their sense of satisfaction and happiness, Li Guangyao's mood became a little complicated.
Such a sense of happiness and satisfaction is not seen in Tang people from places like Lion City, otherwise he wouldn't be so surprised.
And this is also the biggest difference between them.
Just at this moment, the hoarse shouts of the newspaper seller came from the newsstand nearby.
"Read the newspaper, read the newspaper. Yesterday, the United Nations troops landed in Incheon and attacked the back of the North Korean army. The US military launched a full-scale counterattack..."
Listening to the newspaper seller's cry, Li Guangyao just glanced at the newsstand. Then he looked away, as if he was just disturbed by the noise.
However, neither Li Guangyao standing on the roadside nor the passers-by knew that the changes in the world began on this day and entered a new chapter.
......This day, September 15th.
After almost two months of careful preparation, tens of thousands of U.S. soldiers boarded landing craft and launched a mighty landing battle toward Incheon under the cover of hundreds of warships and thousands of fighter planes.
This is the largest landing battle since the end of World War II. Once successful, it can completely reverse the current war situation that is extremely unfavorable to the US military. Failure will bring catastrophe to the US military.
Although the war on the peninsula broke out just three months ago, facing the overwhelming offensive from the north, the Korean army and the United Nations army were retreating steadily, and were forced to set up a circular defense ring in Busan as a final resistance. The situation of the United Nations troops besieged in Busan is very critical and they may be driven into the sea at any time.
In order to relieve the siege of Pusan, Marshal Mai, the then Commander-in-Chief of the U.S. Forces in the Far East and Commander-in-Chief of the United Nations Forces, proposed a landing operation plan in Inchon. He would land behind the enemy to cut off the North Korean army's retreat, and then join forces with the Pusan defenders. The army launched a pincer attack from the north and the south to reverse the situation of the war.
After a series of careful preparation and planning,
At 6:30 in the morning on September 15, after many days of bombardment and artillery shelling by warships and aircraft, the leading troops of the U.S. 10th Army landed on the Green Beach in the north of Wolmi Island. The first day of the battle went smoothly, and the second On the same day, after encountering weak resistance, the U.S. Marine Corps captured the city of Incheon at a small cost. During the two days of fighting, the number of casualties of the US Marine Corps was only 24, with 1 missing and 195 wounded. At this point, the Incheon landing has been successful, and then the US military is consolidating the beachhead and preparing to attack inland.
On the night of September 15, Walker, the commander of the Eighth Army guarding Busan, learned that the Inchon landing had been successful and immediately ordered his troops to start a full-scale counterattack at 0:00 on the 16th.
When the news of the Incheon landing reached Nanyang, it was already noon on the 16th, but before the press learned the news, Li Yian already knew the news of the successful Incheon landing.
It's not because of Emperor Mai's high-profile style - he is always surrounded by a large number of reporters. As the general in the US military who likes dealing with the news media the most, what he likes most is to use the news media to brag about himself.
It is because Nanyang had obtained corresponding intelligence long before the Incheon landing, and even indirectly participated in it. Before Marshal Mai planned to implement the Incheon landing, the navy had not yet recovered from the post-war disarmament operations. Over the past, many naval landing craft and amphibious warfare ships have been sold and scrapped as scrap.
Nanyang, which has a large number of landing craft and amphibious ships, became the target of help. In fact, it was not a question of asking for help. The United States asked Nanyang to return some of the landing ships it assisted. Of course, as compensation, Nanyang received eight destroyers. It's quite cost-effective to go to Nanyang. After all, with the closure of Tangshan's immigration gate, Nanyang no longer needs so many landing ships.
As in history, the success of the Incheon landing allowed the Americans to once again prove their strength. Because of the previous continuous failures on the peninsula, in order to dispel the doubts of the allies, the Americans naturally regarded this amphibious landing as The victory was boasted to be the greatest military adventure since the Kyushu landings, and boasted to be the greatest military victory since the end of World War II. This proves that my rice grains are invincible and I am still Blue Star’s No.1.
“Now Marshal Mai has used a great victory to silence the voices around the world who question the United States.”
The New York Times report is quite elated. After all, the previous successive setbacks were really frustrating. Even the American generals were captured in Daejeon. This even made people wonder whether the United States was going to repeat the mistakes of the Philippines on the peninsula.
In the eyes of some people, there is even a direct connection between the failure of the United States and the major disarmament of the US military after the war - of course, this is just a reason and excuse to excuse the tragic defeat on the peninsula.
Well now, victory from the peninsula. Finally, people breathed a sigh of relief.
Those Americans are finally proud again.
Thanks to Marshal Mai, America has finally become great again...
