¡¾253¡¿The shipbuilding competition saw China advancing like wolves and tigers all the way to Annan and Saigon. The French colonial infantry were killed and their blood flowed into rivers, and they were completely defeated. Due to the consecutive defeats in previous naval battles, the British Admiralty has issued strict orders to prohibit the Royal Navy from launching any form of attack on China until the details of the Chinese Navy¡¯s secret weapons are known. Britain and France are anxious right now. After uniting Germany and Austria to put pressure on Russia to no avail, Britain decided to support Japan's rise in response to China's strength. After consultation with the Japanese ambassador to the UK, the British Foreign Office quickly approved a loan to Japan to build four ironclad ships and train and equip crews for Japan in the UK. Once this news was disclosed in the newspapers, it was in direct opposition to China¡¯s just-announced news on loans to Russia. Yao Fanting admires the British's reaction speed. Some people say that the most remarkable thing about Britain is not the establishment of an empire on which the sun never sets, but the elegance, calmness, and orderliness it showed during the decline of the empire on which the sun never sets, without too much frustration and hysteria. But Yao Fan thinks this is nonsense. As a world financial center dominated by international bankers and the number one troublemaker on the European continent, Britain's elegance is helpless. When the Jewish banking group shifted its strategic focus and assets to the United States, an illegitimate son of a concubine with the same culture and ethnicity as the United Kingdom, what else could the United Kingdom, which had been hollowed out during World War II, do but helplessly pretend to be elegant? After all, the masters behind the New World Overlord have not changed. They are still the same few Jewish banking families. Yao Fan knew that the British would never give up. They were waiting for the opportunity. As long as they did not move the buffer zone of Thailand, they would not threaten Myanmar to the west of Thailand and Malaysia to the south for the time being, and they would not threaten the British India and South Asia. Will cause losses. As for France, Yao Fan directly ignored it. This country that hopes to rely on Britain's thigh to revive needs to ask for its own blessings. Due to the successive destruction of the Royal China Fleet and the Royal East India Fleet, the British Navy has felt great pressure. Part of this great pressure comes from the preparations of European countries. After the news that the Royal Navy was so badly beaten by the young Chinese Navy that the entire army was annihilated spread throughout Europe, Germany launched a shipbuilding plan and planned to build 22 new warships, of which 4 were main armored gunboats, 6 cruisers, and 12 fish #minecraft. Obviously, the outstanding performance of the Chinese Navy's torpedo boat brigade made the Germans feel that the torpedo boat was an excellent weapon that could use a small amount to make a big difference. Although Russia is strapped for funds due to the Tenth Russo-Turkish War, after reaching a loan agreement with China, it still decided to build 12 new ships in St. Petersburg on the Baltic Sea, including 2 armored iron battleships, 2 cruisers and 8 torpedo boats. , to supplement the Black Sea Fleet, which was clearly at a disadvantage against Ottoman Turkey in the Russo-Turkish War. The existence of the Black Sea Fleet has always been a tragedy. Due to the restrictions of the Paris Peace Treaty, Russia could only maintain 10 small boats in the Black Sea. This restriction was not lifted until 1871, but it also greatly delayed Russia's shipbuilding capabilities in the Black Sea region. The Ottoman Turkish navy, with the support of Britain and France, has 22 armored iron ships and 82 unarmored ships made by Britain and France. If Russia had not used gray animals to form a human steamroller on land to cut a bloody path, the Russian Black Sea Fleet would not be able to rely on itself. The power to break out of the Bosporus and fulfill Peter the Great's last wish to break out of the Black Sea, let alone compete with the British and French fleets. In order to be able to preserve the fruits of victory of the "Contract of Santo Stefano" under the pressure of Britain, France, Germany and Austria, and hold the sea rights of the Bosporus in our hands, thereby fulfilling the long-cherished wish of Peter the Great, and at the same time ensuring China's Respect and dependence, Russia is going all out. In order to ask the British to put pressure on Russia and shrink the Russian navy in the Black Sea, the Ottoman Turkey promised Cyprus to the British. However, seeing that the Russians refused to give in and faced the pressure from Britain, France, Germany and Austria, the Ottoman Turkey did not The island of Cyprus was handed over to Britain as it was historically, but it was still held in its hands. Although France lost its pants due to huge indemnities during the Franco-Prussian War, it suffered from the destruction of the Far East Fleet and had to tighten its belt to start a shipbuilding plan and at the same time increase domestic taxes again. As expected, the new Prime Minister Jules Simon resigned not long ago, and the seventh Prime Minister Broy IV came to power. However, the country was still in a state of uproar, so a month later, the eighth Prime Minister De Rochebuaire came to power. , domestic riots continued, and a month later the French Third Republic finally gave birth to its ninth prime minister, Jules Dufour. This is the third time that Dufour has served as prime minister since the birth of the Third French Republic in 1871. Dufour, who was laid off due to the failure of the Shanghai Battle and the domestic economic depression, once again bit the bullet and became prime minister. Prime Minister. This is not surprising. For France under the dictatorship of the bourgeoisie,?, there are always a few aristocrats and big capitalists who are supported by bankers when choosing the prime minister. Yao Fan feels that he can even recite one or even two candidates for France's prime minister every year, without having to work hard to win over someone. After the Franco-Prussian War, France has become a puppet of the United Kingdom. It cannot challenge its century-old enemy Britain and its emerging enemy Germany externally. Of course, it cannot calm the mood of nationalists internally. Now it is even bullied by China. Being Prime Minister of France is a physical and mental torture. In the 69 years from 1871 to 1940, the short-lived French Third Republic had 87 prime ministers, including royalists, republicans, left-wing socialist parties, far-right militarist forces, slick moderates, and so on. Under the guidance of the UK, the troublemaker behind the scenes, you sing and I appear on stage, it is as lively as a theater. Yao Fan knew that unless there were earth-shaking changes in the world political landscape like World War II, the Gallic Chicken would not be able to escape the clutches of the Cowboys and could only be squeezed to death by the international banking syndicate of Jewish families based in Britain. Although Yao Fan ignored France, he was still very concerned about Britain's actions. Sure enough, Britain not only provided loans to Japan to build warships, but also angrily accelerated its local shipbuilding plan when faced with the imminent moves of European countries. At the same time, the British transferred five battleships from the Atlantic Fleet: HMS Agincourt, HMS Bellesle, HMS Captain, HMS Westcrops, and HMS Rampage to supplement the Royal Navy stationed in Malaya in the Far East Pacific. fleet, and at the same time formally split the West India Fleet to fill the gap left by the demise of the East India Fleet. At this time, China, with the support of the 21st Century, already has 160 torpedo boats, a full 16 torpedo boat brigade! In addition, the young Chinese Navy is also equipped with 10 second-hand Type 037 submarine hunting submarines. The main guns are two twin 57mm naval guns at the front and rear, and the close-in defense guns are two Type 61 twin 25mm naval guns at the front and rear. The North Sea Fleet, as a naval incubator, is also rapidly progressing in training and mastering these 10 submarine hunting submarines. r1058
