"These Japanese people are still so stubborn. Don't you know that our Fuxing Army treats prisoners preferentially?" Bao Youzhi sighed.
When the "Nelson" lost power, it faced the siege of three warships of the same magnitude.
The outcome has already been determined.
But they fought like brave knights until the last moment.
Until its hull tilted and sank, the cannons on the deck were still firing.
Bao Youzhi saluted a military salute in the distance where the warships of the Republic of China were silent.
Regardless of the camps on both sides, these soldiers are still worthy of respect.
Bao Youzhi was not worried that the destroyers and frigates fighting against the enemy would be out of tune.
They have already made arrangements in advance.
The size of the intercepting fleet was similar to that of the Yu State.
Coupled with the pursuers behind, it is not difficult to retain six of the opponent's warships.
…
New Beijing, Presidential Palace.
"President, the battle report from the front line is here. The Second Fleet successfully annihilated the opponent's cruise fleet. The opponent had a total of seven warships, and only one frigate escaped back to Cape Town with injuries. Another destroyer and three supply ships surrendered, and the rest
All the battleships were sunk."
Jiang Yuqin excitedly found Dong Shuheng with the telegram.
"Well, we are about to release our next big move. Negotiations with the people of Yu can be restarted. We will inform Liu Qingbei of this situation in Europa." Dong Shuheng said.
In this world, if a force wants to sit on the throne of overlord, there is only one way, and that is to defeat the previous overlord.
This is the same as selecting a new alpha wolf from a pack of wolves.
Only the alpha wolf is qualified to lead the entire pack in choosing the path to take in the future.
And Dong Shuheng wants to be the alpha wolf. He wants to see what the future of human development will be like if it is not dominated by Omi.
Will there still be a series of issues that affect human life and death, such as nuclear weapons, energy, environment, and epidemics?
In the world where Dong Shuheng lived in his previous life, the evolution of people's lifestyles was actually the result of the guidance of Western capital.
Capital requires people to consume in the past and requires people to overdraw nature.
To meet the needs of its own expansion and development. Capital is greedy and can become a tool for the development of human society.
But capital must not be allowed to dominate the development of human society.
It is a hunting wolf that will bite back on its owner. If you put a yoke on it, it can be used by people, but without restraints, it will probably decide people's fate.
Including the direction of human technological development is controlled by capital.
Some people believe that if it were not for oil capital, mankind might have already gotten rid of its dependence on fossil fuels.
If it were not for some medical capital, human beings might have gotten rid of many diseases long ago.
Later in life, Dong Shuheng heard that a chemist named Maurice Ward had invented a high-temperature insulation material called Starlight, which could be coated on the surface of any object and withstand temperatures of thousands of degrees.
It could even withstand the high temperature shock caused by a nuclear explosion, but this technology was taken to the grave with Ward's unexpected death.
A medical scientist named Raymond invented a frequency generator that could crush cancer cells. In practice at that time, he used this machine to cure 14 of 16 cancer patients.
But Raymond's research threatened the interests of medical capital, so his research was deemed illegal.
After that, those who helped him suffered death threats such as fire and poisoning. His laboratory was frequently robbed.
The papers and results related to the cancer cell crusher were also burned, and finally he died inexplicably from taking a lethal dose of a mixture of diazepam and alcohol.
Someone else has developed a carburetor that can improve the combustion efficiency of gasoline several times. An oil company is willing to pay a high price to buy out his invention and let him stop his research.
But the man refused, and the 24-year-old was accidentally shot and died in the hospital from a suspected overdose.
Dong Shuheng has no way to confirm the authenticity of these cases.
Because even the channels through which he acquires knowledge during his growth may be controlled by capital.
He is now sparing no effort to develop electricity.
He believes this will soon wean people away from dependence on fossil fuels.
Maybe there will be no more danger of global warming.
He actively promoted the popularization of traditional Chinese medicine and controlled the invention of chemical drugs, so that perhaps there would be no more vicious cycle caused by drug abuse.
He has the ability to guide people's way of life.
He maintains a stable development environment in the Greater China Circle and guides a frugal lifestyle.
Control the excessive expansion of capital, do not pursue excessive development speed, and only slowly improve people's living standards.
Establish a healthy life demand model.
This is very important for the development of the entire human race.
He also set aside a large number of places in the Greater China Circle as natural and civilized reserves.
Freeze local development and keep these places as they are.
Now it seems that this behavior makes little sense.
But Dong Shuheng said it made sense, and a large number of people would soon come out to help him demonstrate.
He just hopes that his descendants will not have to live in fear in the future.
We cannot allow everyone to have enough food and clothing, but lose the most basic sense of security.
And this insecurity comes from nature, which humans cannot fight against.
What Dong Shuheng called the next big move was the Renaissance Army's layout in Bunama.
The people of Yu thought that they now controlled the construction rights of the Su Yinshi Canal, and seemed to have grasped the weakness of the Renaissance Army.
As long as the canal is built, it will be much closer from Europe to the Indian Ocean than from the Renaissance Army to the Indian Ocean from its homeland.
Moreover, the Chinese are not worried that the Baath Army will attack Egypt.
If that were the case, the Chinese would be able to organize the entire Europa coalition to engage in a protracted showdown with the Renaissance Army in the Sultanate of Ali in Egypt.
The result of this battle is bound to be a lose-lose situation for both sides, and the Renaissance Army's chances of winning are not very high.
Once the Renaissance Army is trapped here, Tsarist Russia will launch an attack on the Renaissance Army from the west, and France and France can also launch an attack on the Great China Circle countries in Amelia.
In this case, the system that the Renaissance Army has worked so hard to establish may collapse.
In fact, here in Central Amelia, the Renaissance Army also controls the lifeblood of a European country.
If the Ba'ath Army builds a canal here, then the Ba'ath Army's navy can penetrate directly into the Caribbean Sea.
This is one of the core areas of the Atlantic Ocean.
Countries such as France, France, Spain, and the Netherlands have always controlled this place.
Thus maintaining trade between the New World and mainland Europe.
Now Dong Shuheng wants to release the news about the construction of this canal, which is to release another big move based on the victory of the Cape Town naval battle.
"Yes, President, I will make arrangements right away." Jiang Yuqin felt very excited.
The battle with the Great Empire for several years is finally coming to a successful end.
Of course, this does not mean that the confrontation between the two is over. It just means that the first round ended with the victory of the Renaissance Army.
"President, you will have a speech at Xinjing Academy this Saturday. I have prepared the manuscript for you. Please take a look at it when you have time."
With that said, Jiang Yuqin handed a manuscript to Dong Shuheng.
This time Dong Shuheng wants to talk about the future of mankind.
He knew this proposition, and he might not like Jiang Yuqin's manuscript, but he still took it.
Cape Town Military Port. Zhang Yong and his policemen are maintaining order.
News of the patrol fleet's defeat soon spread to the city of Cape Town.
Many wealthy people are running to their estates in inland areas.
This has caused chaos in the populous city of Cape Town.
Zhang Yong and other policemen were all organized to cooperate with the Japanese garrison to maintain order.
Defenses are already being built in the direction of the dock.
The heavy-duty truck dragged the sandbags and rushed to the dock.
The soldiers on the fort are also working hard to maintain the artillery positions.
Tall scaffolding was erected on the side of the fort.
A pulley block driven by a steam engine transported the packed sandbags to the fort.
To reinforce the protection of gun emplacements.
The whole port is busy.
The remaining half of the ships of the Great Indian Ocean Fleet are cruising in the harbor, ready to cooperate with the forts to block incoming enemies.
The people of the country also knew the size of the second fleet and did not dare to send out another fleet to attack the enemy with an egg.
This shortcoming in power balance will not change in a short time.
Unless the Koreans transfer all their local warships here.
But that's impossible.
Suddenly the church bell rang, and the workers working in the port quickly ran to the nearest shell hole.
Zhang Yong looked to the south and could only vaguely see some smoke pillars in the distant sky.
Those smoke pillars seemed like umbilical cords extending from the clouds in the sky.
Zhang Yong was very excited. This was the first time he saw a Renaissance Army warship in Cape Town.
It would be great if the Renaissance Army could capture Cape Town this time.
In that case, Zhang Yong would no longer have to live such a sneaky life.
He knew that there was a rule among military intelligence agents, that is, whoever was in charge of the area was really included in the territory of the Renaissance Army, then they could change jobs and leave their original posts.
These people will generally get a good place to go, which can be regarded as a reward for them.
Zhang Yong also envied that kind of life.
Although he married a Boer woman, his wife was very hardworking and obedient.
He hopes to one day return to his native land with his wife and children.
The last time he returned to his hometown, he actually secretly went back home and visited his relatives at home.
But in order to prevent Sun Xiang from noticing, he only stayed home for less than two hours.
His family is living a good life, and his relevant treatment has been implemented.
Seeing this, he actually felt relieved. Isn't this why he took the risk and fought hard outside?
Some brave people stood on high places and looked out of the port like Zhang Yong.
The entire city of Cape Town, both soldiers and ordinary people, were extremely nervous at this time.
The warships in the distance gradually approached, and the smoke pillars turned into a steel jungle.
On the "Kunlun Mountain", Bao Youzhi was also observing the situation in the port.
"Commander, the Cape Town Port has been turned into a hedgehog by the Chinese." Wang Huatao was also observing.
He had already seen no less than ten forts in the arc-shaped bay, and there should be no less than a thousand artillery pieces on those forts.
The Japanese have spent a lot of money over the past year in order to keep Cape Town, the bridgehead on the Atlantic Ocean.
Originally this was just a transit point for them to enter the Indian Ocean.
But since they failed in the Indian Ocean naval battle.
The Chinese began to pay attention to the city of Cape Town.
Not only did it transfer a large number of immigrants from the mainland, it also built the Cape Town military port into an indestructible fortress.
Just when the people in the city thought that the Renaissance Army was going to attack the port, after all, the Renaissance Army had so many warships, and there was still a certain chance of victory if they launched an attack.
The Second Fleet of the Renaissance Army, which had just shown its face, fired a few cannons from a distance into the harbor and then left.
The Japanese people in the city were very happy. They felt that the Renaissance Army was scared away by the defense facilities in the port.
Zhang Yong was a little disappointed.
Although he also knew very well that the price the Renaissance Army would have to pay to attack Cape Town was very high.
But a few days later, bad news reached Cape Town.
The Port of Elizabeth, located thousands of kilometers east of Cape Town, was attacked by the Baath Army.
The infrastructure within the port suffered huge damage.
However, the Renaissance Army did not land at Yunlishabai Port for operations.
Because there are at least tens of thousands of troops stationed in this port.
The Second Fleet came out this time with only one marine regiment. They were not here for landing operations.
Bao Youzhi felt that if this was the case, he would leave too few traces.
So he sent a marine regiment 100 kilometers east of Yin Lisabai Port to attack a Korean colonial town near the sea.
Freed the black brothers who were enslaved by the Japanese in this small town.
The Japanese lost half of their Indian Ocean fleet, and the remaining fleet did not dare to fight anyway.
Bao Youzhi can now do whatever he wants here.
As for the French Indian Ocean Fleet in Antsiranana, after seeing the size of the Second Fleet through a reconnaissance ship, they wisely hunkered down in the port and even canceled their routine cruises.
…
London, Downing Street.
Prime Minister Edward Smith Stanley paced sadly in his office.
Not even the abscessed Cuban tobacco in his pipe could calm his mood.
"Mr. Russell, please contact Vice Premier Liu as soon as possible. Negotiations must be restarted as soon as possible." He took a deep breath of smoke and said to Russell, the Minister of Foreign Education, who was also worried.
"Prime Minister, we have sent people to contact the other party before, but the special envoy we sent only met that person's secretary. It seems that Vice Premier Liu has no intention of negotiating with us."
"No, those are their deliberate gestures. What they are waiting for is the outcome of this naval battle."
"Now that the results are out, their goal has been achieved. Look, in the past few days, the anti-war forces in the country are starting to make trouble again. Armistice is the prerequisite for our current cabinet to be in power. We must do this.
"
"Yes, Your Excellency Prime Minister, I understand." Russell nodded.
Just then Prime Minister Stanley's secretary walked in anxiously, holding a newspaper in his hand.
"Your Excellency, Prime Minister, this is not good!"
