- "Torpedo preparation!"
"The torpedoes are ready!"
"Wait for my order before attacking!"
In the dark seabed of the sea area where the British Royal Navy's Far East Fleet and the Chinese South China Sea Fleet are confronting each other, a series of instructions are transmitted through radio waves in the dark seabed like night. If there is a pair of eyes that can penetrate the darkness, then you can see what is happening in the sea. In the quiet and dark seabed, more than a dozen Chinese Qianlong-class submarines are crawling on the seabed like hunting underwater monsters, waiting for opportunities.
In the flag boat of the submarine force, Chu Zhaoliang issued a series of orders. Li Dong, the deputy captain next to Chu Zhaoliang, asked: "Sir, do we really want to beat up these arrogant British guys?"
Chu Zhaoliang said: "It depends on the situation. Once the British fleet fires first, our twelve submarines will launch torpedoes to sink their flagship. But until they fire, we can only stand still."
After learning that Britain would intervene in the war between China and the United States and planned to send a fleet into the South China Sea, the president specially transferred the main force of the submarine force back to defend the South China Sea to assist the South China Sea Fleet in jointly resisting the British.
Before returning to the defense of the South China Sea, the president came to him specifically and solemnly told him that if the British took the lead in attacking the South China Sea Fleet, the British would pay a heavy price. However, the president also said that he must not take the initiative to attack the British fleet.
Now that China and the United States have officially started a war, China is in a very dangerous situation. Once the British officially intervene in this war, China will face a dangerous situation of being attacked from both sides. By then, it will be almost impossible for China to defeat the United States, let alone Said that he could escape from this war unscathed.
In the words of the president, subduing the enemy without fighting is the highest state of the art of war.
At this time, Chu Zhaoliang's head was covered with sweat. Regarding this confrontation in the South China Sea, his mood was very complicated. He not only hoped to sink the flagship of the arrogant British fleet, but he also did not want to formally negotiate with the British. Start a war.
The current sea situation is definitely in favor of China. With the German Far East Fleet and China's South China Sea Fleet, both the strength and the number of artillery are far superior to those of the British. As long as the British Far East Fleet is led this time, The commander is not a fanatic who is ignorant of current affairs. If the British really start a war, then the British Far East Fleet has no chance of winning.
"Come up immediately. I want to observe the movements of the British! All other submarines will stay at their original positions and wait for orders!" Chu Zhaoliang ordered.
Immediately, one of the twelve submarines lurking on the seabed slowly surfaced. A periscope slowly rose from the top of the submarine, and finally floated to the surface of the turbulent sea. Looking from a distance, only a small black man could be seen. The point is floating and surging on the undulating sea. If you don't look carefully, you can't easily spot this ferocious and ferocious sea beast hidden under the sea.
Chu Zhaoliang took the periscope, only to see a huge fleet flying the British Cross Navy flag on the distant sea, hesitating in place, neither retreating, nor showing an attacking attitude, and he did not know that at this time What are the British thinking?
British Royal Navy Far East Fleet, HMS Queen Elizabeth Flagship Bridge Command.
"Your Excellency General, we have been confronting them for half an hour. The German fleet and the Chinese South China Sea Fleet have shown no signs of retreating. It seems that they are serious this time!" Next to Michelle, his adjutant looked worried. color.
Looking at the postures of the two fleets before and after, I am afraid that as long as there is a slight change in the British Royal Navy, the two fleets will fire at the same time. Under such a disparity in strength, if there is a substantial conflict with the two fleets, I'm afraid that the British Royal Navy's Far East Fleet will really be completely wiped out today.
Mihir's face was a little pale, and his forehead was covered with dense beads of sweat. His thick beard was trembling slightly. His hands were pressed heavily on the wooden table in front of him. The knuckles of his hands were slightly white from the excessive exertion. It can be seen that there is a complicated look in Mihir's eyes. It is obvious that he is already at war between heaven and man and is hesitant.
He originally thought that this time he would be able to avoid the humiliation he suffered in Fuzhou a few years ago and teach these Chinese a lesson. However, now he had a difficult choice before him. The fleets of the two countries are attacking from the front and back. If the situation is better, the Royal Navy's Far East Fleet may withdraw from the South China Sea at an extremely heavy cost. If he retreated, his wish to avenge his shame would be in vain. It was as if he was ready to slap others, but he didn't expect that in the end he would slap himself loudly. This time the shame was even worse than the last time, which was ultimately why Michelle was struggling internally.
The adjutant continued to persuade: "Your Majesty General, we haveHaving lost the opportunity, once we engage in battle, we will definitely fall into a passive situation. Moreover, we are still surrounded by two powerful fleets. I think the Chinese submarine should have been aimed at our flagship by now ¡±
"That's enough!" Michelle interrupted harshly: "Tell the Chinese South China Sea Fleet immediately to get out of the way. We want to return to India!"
The adjutant looked happy: "Yes, General!"
Michelle said bitterly in her heart: "Tang Jian, I will definitely get back the shame you put on me today. The British Empire is not that easy to bully, and there are also hateful Germans. Atlantic Ocean Above, let¡¯s have another showdown!¡±
Looking at the semaphore waving on the flagship of the British Far East Fleet in the distance, Sa Zhenbing breathed a sigh of relief and said with a smile: "The British are finally afraid. They want us to step aside so that they can retreat." Others in the flagship After hearing the words, people immediately burst out laughing happily.
The crisis of a formal war with Britain has been resolved. In this era, strength is indeed respected! In the face of tyrannical strength, some threats are not threats.
Sa Zhenbing ordered: "In reply to the British Far East Fleet, we will immediately give way to a safe channel. Thank you for their cooperation. The South China Sea Fleet is grateful. In order to express its gratitude to the British Far East Fleet, the Chinese South China Sea Fleet will fire a salute." Thanks!¡±
"Haha" A burst of laughter broke out again in the bridge command room of the flagship Typhoon. A sneer appeared on the corner of Sa Zhenbing's mouth. When the British came with great momentum, but returned in despair amidst the roaring salute of the Chinese South China Sea Fleet, what kind of wonderful expression would be shown on their commander-in-chief's face? Thinking of it Here, Sa Zhenbing couldn't help but laugh out loud.
Soon, the Chinese South China Sea Fleet, located at the five o'clock position behind the British Far East Fleet, slowly retreated under the command of the flagship, leaving an empty sea.
The British Royal Navy's Far East Fleet immediately blew its whistle%%, changed direction, and slowly sailed towards the open sea area where the Chinese South China Sea Fleet had moved out of the way. After the British Royal Navy's Far East Fleet gradually moved away from the encirclement of the German fleet and the Chinese South China Sea Fleet, the Chinese Several cruisers on the Nanhai Ship immediately began to fire a 21-gun salute to see off the Royal Navy's Far East Fleet as it left the South China Sea.
Half an hour later, the Royal Navy¡¯s Far East Fleet finally disappeared from everyone¡¯s sight and gradually sank beneath the distant sea level.
In the bridge command room of the South China Sea Fleet flagship Typhoon, a combat staff officer asked Sa Zhenbing: "General, will the British really evacuate the South China Sea and return to India?"
Sa Zhenbing smiled and said: "It is certain to evacuate the South China Sea. Does he want to be surrounded by us again? The British only have these warships in the Far East. I don't know whether they will return to India, but I am sure that, The British will not dare to easily step into our waters in the future."
All the generals smiled slightly. Under the confrontation between the two military alliances in Europe, Britain was unable to mobilize more troops to support the British Far East Fleet. Now they should be busy asking why the Germans stood in Europe. On the Chinese side.
Sa Zhenbing ordered: "Send a message to the German fleet to thank them for their help this time!"
Soon after, the German fleet turned around and sailed towards Guangzhou Port. Although the German fleet did not fire a single shot, it really did a big favor to China this time. It was more useful than directly participating in the war. However, Sa Zhenbing was slightly shaken. He shook his head and said secretly: "The appetites of these Germans are really big, and the price of asking these Germans to help is indeed high enough! The president will probably be heartbroken for a long time."
"Order the troops to return and rush to Hawaii. I hope we can help when we have a formal naval war with the United States." Chu Zhaoliang ordered.
"What? No more fighting?" in the flag boat, the deputy captain Li Dong said in surprise.
Chu Zhaoliang said with a smile: "We've all finished, why are we still joining in the fun! Order the entire army to surface and rush to Hawaii at the fastest speed!"
??¡
Hawaii, in the conference room of the Chinese Navy and Army Command Headquarters.
Tang Jian stood on the stage and announced with a smile: "The British fleet has withdrawn from the South China Sea. We have no worries. Now we can finally concentrate on dealing with the Americans!"
As soon as such exciting news came out, the Chinese generals in the conference room immediately burst into enthusiastic cheers. This time, the war with the United States has gone through twists and turns before it officially started. Now we finally have nothing to worry about. We don¡¯t need to retreat from Hawaii. We can simply to compete with the U.S. North Atlantic Fleet in the Pacific Ocean.
Ye Zugui asked: "President, have the British withdrawn to India?"
Tang Jian shook his head and said: "Not yet, the CIA is here to report."?They just anchored in Singapore, Malacca, but I think they don't dare to set foot in the South China Sea anymore. "
Cheng Biguang¡¯s heart was boiling with excitement, and his face was full of excitement: ¡°President, give the order!¡±
Tang Jian waved his hand and solemnly announced: "All generals listen to the order and go down immediately to prepare for war! Soon, the Chinese Pacific Fleet will rush to the sea to engage in a decisive battle with the U.S. North Atlantic Fleet!"
"Pacific Fleet, attack!" Tang Jian looked determined and punched the conference table hard. The surface of the wooden conference table immediately cracked, and even the legs of the table were covered with cracks. - Didn't finish reading?
