On June 22, 1900, on the vast Yellow Sea in the east, with blue sea and blue sky, turbulent waves and hundreds of boats competing against each other.
However, any semblance of peace and tranquility is full of crises. People with yellow skin and dark eyes live on both sides of the Yellow Sea, but on one side there is a vibrant and prosperous scene, while on the other side there is dire straits and people are living in dire straits.
At one o'clock in the afternoon that day, a formation of 12 Z-2 submarines was lurking under the sea, seemingly waiting for its afternoon tea.
This is the Far East attack submarine formation known as the black hole in the sea by the world's powers. They did not park in the dock at this time, but came to the sea area where the conflict was about to occur early. The black iron sheet tightly wrapped the interior of the submarine.
The bow of the boat is blunt and spindle-shaped, and the cross-section of the submarine is almost always circular. The raised part of the upper layer is like a ridge, with a double-layer buoyancy tank inside.
The submarine gradually becomes narrower from the middle to the rear, and the tail is pointed. It has a balanced and stable four-tail rudder and a five-blade large propeller. There are also several retractable poles on the bridge, which are the periscope mast and the radio communication mast. The exterior of the submarine
A new material is used, which is made of rubber and has a thickness of 15 mm. It is mainly used to reduce the oscillating sound coming from the submarine cabin and is used to reduce the enemy's sonar detection to achieve a certain stealth purpose.
.
"Report! Formation leader, everything is ready, please give your instructions!" A Far East naval officer with the rank of lieutenant colonel walked up to Lin Taizeng and said seriously.
"Okay! Immediately notify all boats. Before the battle, they must be meticulously prepared, obey the command, and respond quickly! The young master entrusted us with such an important job because he fully believes that we will be able to complete this mission, so we are absolutely
Can't live up to it." Lin Taizeng's face looked solemn at this time.
"Yes! Live up to the trust and ensure the mission is completed!" When the lieutenant colonel said these words, he looked very energetic and excited.
At this moment, on the border between North Korea and the mainland, on the bank of the Yalu River, inside the High Command of the Far East Army, a group of young men were sitting. Some of them were chatting together in a bustling manner, and some were whispering to each other about various things, but they seemed
There is one important point, that is, when to send troops.
At this moment, Li Ningyu, who was wearing a white military uniform, walked straight in. Seeing his arrival, everyone stood up and saluted loudly: "Young Master!".
However, Li Ningyu had some objections to this title this time, so he immediately told everyone present: "In the future, everyone should call me Commander Li or Commander-in-Chief. This time is different from the past. I am a soldier."
, so let’s change some of the titles that don’t belong to soldiers!”.
"Yes!" Everyone nodded again.
Li Ningyu looked at everyone with satisfaction, and after beckoning everyone to sit down, Li Ningyu continued: "This time the eight countries suddenly sent troops, I believe everyone will not think there is anything abnormal, but our main task this time
Very seriously, if we want to break the so-called Eight-Nation Alliance, in addition to advancing the army in the future, the navy also needs to work closely with us, so I will personally serve as the commander-in-chief!".
"You are all senior officers of the Far East Army, commanding a field division of tens of thousands of people, so you must ensure that once your fists are thrown, they must be accurate and hard, and you must be able to take them back.
, Only in this way can we achieve effective deterrence, deterrence, and deterrence against the Eight-Nation Allied Forces, and prevent those restless powers from having any illusions about eating the enemy quickly, accurately, and ruthlessly.
!”
"Everyone knows that in recent years, life in the Far East has not been that easy. The United States, France, and Germany are all trying to curb our development and have joined forces to contain us. Especially little Japan, after its defeat, did not want to make progress and continued to
Dare to come out and jump around! This is intolerable! Regarding provocative behavior, we in the Far East have always adhered to a principle, that is, I will not offend others unless they offend me; if someone offends me, I will offend them!"
"There is an old saying in our Chinese nation that it is indecent to come and not to reciprocate. Now that they have sent a fleet to our doorstep, what should we do?"
"There is only one way, to fight them back, so next I will assign a combat mission. At 1 o'clock in the morning tonight, we will cross the Yalu River with high spirits. The slogan is, the sons and daughters of China unite to resist the Eight Nations and aid the mainland, and defeat a group of
Imperial ambition wolf!".
Since the Eight-Power Allied Forces suddenly sent troops to capture the Dagu Fort on June 17, the Far East announced that it had entered the highest level of strategic posture on that day. 800,000 Far East Field Army soldiers were on standby at the Yalu River border, and all Far East naval fleet vessels also entered designated sea areas.
On June 21st, Cixi announced that the Qing government was declaring war on all the major powers. In fact, Li Ningyu was very puzzled as to why Cixi could be so bold. However, after the Qing government and the Eight-Power Allied Forces declared war, intelligence systems at all levels responded.
Therefore, no one analyzed the specific situation for a while, because the most important thing at the moment is to deal with the next situation.
Among the Eight-Nation Alliance this time, in addition to Tsarist Russia, which had reached a secret deal with the Far East and chose to withdraw from the Eight-Nation Alliance, there was also the Austro-Hungarian Empire, which voluntarily withdrew.
The rest is the six-nation coalition of Japan, the United States, the United Kingdom, France, Germany, and Italy. Li Ningyu actually didn't pay attention to this coalition of more than 20,000 people, but the multinational naval fleet composed of 45 ships did.
This gave Li Ningyu a headache. After all, it was not easy to capture a huge fleet.
How can we drive them away?
Li Ningyu was once distressed because the current strength of the Far East at sea could not possibly confront so many powers at the same time. This is why he selectively compromised with Tsarist Russia.
In fact, the secret agreement signed between the Far East and Tsarist Russia is very simple. The Far East provides medium and long-range radio communications and other new naval equipment for the Tsarist Russian Navy, especially the construction of 15 Z-2 submarines for Tsarist Russia. Tsarist Russia will withdraw from the Eight-Nation Alliance, but the Far East cannot interfere with Tsarist Russia.
interests in China.
Li Ningyu actually doesn't want to sign such an agreement, but if war starts with Britain, France, Germany, Tsarist Russia, and the United States at the same time, the navy in the Far East that has just begun to take shape is estimated to be in vain in the end. More than ten years of hard work will be very valuable.
It might all be in vain, how could Li Ningyu agree to this?
But Li Ningyu was conflicted because a soldier wanted to sacrifice his life and blood for his nation. How could he give up defending his homeland for these extraneous things?
But at this moment, Peng De discovered Li Ningyu's entanglement, and said the same sentence to him: "Don't give up, don't abandon, avoid their sharp edges, and defeat them one by one!".
