When the Battle of the Red Sea ended, it was already four o'clock in the afternoon in Beijing time in China. After the Indian Ocean Fleet sent a good news to the Navy, the Navy Minister immediately ordered people to rule the General Staff. At the same time, he rushed to the palace with the good news and went to the palace to
The emperor of the Empire, Yuze, reported this good news!
"Your Majesty, the Indian Ocean Fleet called. In the battle launched this morning, the submarine forces completed a raid on the British and French navies, sinking three battleships and severely damaging one. Then, the main force of the Indian Ocean Fleet went north and passed through the Mande Strait to pursue the British and French navies.
.At the afternoon of Beijing time...half a day, the naval war ended, and the two remaining battleships of the British and French navy were captured and the other sunk. In this battle, the Indian Ocean fleet sank a total of four battleships of the British and French navy, capturing two.
They are the French Navy's Battleship "Paris" and the French Battleship "France". In addition, five heavy cruisers from the British and French Navy were sunk, two were captured, and dozens of light cruisers and destroyers were captured. At present, the main force of the fleet is continuing to sail northward.
The target is the Suez Canal!" Navy Secretary Zhang Cheng said with excitement. When the General Staff formulated a counterattack plan, he had already expected to succeed, but he did not expect that he would win such a huge victory. In this battle,
Almost all the fleets dispatched by the British and French navies to the Middle East will be wiped out! There will be no problems in the next war, and China will be able to win this war easily!
"Haha, okay! It's really great! I'll be commended to reward the Indian Ocean Fleet and the submarine force. All the meritorious personnel will be reported and the Ministry of National Defense will formulate the promotion plan!" Wang Yuze said happily. After the Indian Ocean Fleet won the battle of the Red Sea, it can be said that
There is no suspense in this war. After losing the control of the Red Sea, the logistics supply lines of hundreds of thousands of troops stationed in the Saudi Kingdom will be fatally threatened. Once the Chinese army successfully captures the Suez Canal, then these hundreds of thousands will be
The army will become a turtle in the jar! Britain and France will undoubtedly fall apart this time. China will successfully gain huge benefits in the Middle East!
"Congratulations to Your Majesty! This time the navy won a great victory, and we are not far from winning this war!" At this time, the Chief of Staff Xiong Wu, the Minister of Army Cai Yun, and the Minister of Defense Jiang Xingguo, who received the news, received the news.
Everyone rushed to the palace. Everyone had smiles on their faces. This counterattack plan could be said to be a great success. Everyone seemed to have seen the final victory and was about to come!
"Happy together!Happy together! The Navy won the victory, which means that the counterattack plan started very smoothly. Next, the attack on the Suez Canal. There will be no problem in this regard, right?" Wang Yuze asked. The Navy won the
The control of the Red Sea is just the first step. Next, it is the battlefield for the army and the Marine Corps.
"Your Majesty, we are fully prepared and there will be no problems. The Seventh Army's more than 100,000 troops have entered the Red Sea, and there is also the Second Marine Division, with a total of 180,000 troops. It is safe to win the Suez Canal.
Things. The British and French coalition forces have only 100,000 people in Egypt, and we have an absolute advantage!" said Xiong Wu, Chief of Staff. In the Saudi Kingdom, the Chinese army has to bear the force of only one-third of the British and French coalition forces.
The fierce attack of the British and French coalition forces. Now, in the Egyptian battlefield that is about to begin, the Chinese army has almost twice the advantage in military strength. If this cannot achieve the final victory, then the soldiers of the Chinese army should wipe their necks.
Now!
"What about Egypt? Will the Egyptian Khdiv and the Ottoman Empire behind it express dissatisfaction with our attack on the Suez Canal? After all, Egypt is nominally the territory of the Ottoman Empire, but it has just become a colony of the British!" Wang Yuze asked.
In the Middle East, Egypt is also a big country. However, Egypt's politics and economy are now dominated by the British.
Khdiv, Egypt, is Abbas II, whose full name is Abbas Hirimi, the governor of Egypt of the Ottoman Empire. Abbas II is the son of Muhammad Tofik Pasha, and inherited his father in 1892.
Egypt's rule. He tried to break away from Britain's control over the Egyptian royal family and implement some independent policies from Britain. But because Britain had actually dominated Egypt's economy and politics, Abbas II had to follow the United Kingdom after 1900
People mean to do things.
Abbas II, also a capable monarch, conquered Sultan again in 1898 and brought it into Egypt's territory. The railway from Egypt to Khartoum, the capital of the Sultan, was completed in 1899, thus
Consolidated the Egyptian dynasty's rule over there. In 1902, Egypt under the rule of Abbas II completed the First Aswan Dam. Moreover, he was still actively seeking complete autonomy in Egypt. However, he has not yet obtained the Ottoman Empire.
The Sultan's consent was just agreed.
"The Ottoman Empire is already invincible, and a large area of land has become colonies of Western powers. The only thing they can really decide is the Asia Minor Peninsula. As for Egypt, although Egypt also has an army of more than 100,000.
However, Egypt's strength is due to the support of Britain. However, the current Egyptian Khdiv Abbas II is not satisfied with Britain's control over Egypt. If we can support Egypt's independence, we may be able to win Abbas II's
Support. Of course, it is impossible to get them to join our side to fight. But it is still no problem to keep them neutral!" said Xiong Wu, Chief of Staff.
Wang Yuze nodded. The current Ottoman Empire is no longer the powerful empire that dominated Asia, Europe and Africa. The huge territory of the Ottoman Empire has become a fat in the eyes of Western powers. All countries are in the Ottoman Empire.
After taking a bite, he wished he could swallow the entire Ottoman Empire. Of course, Wang Yuze was also drooling in the territory of the Ottoman Empire. Whether it was Iraq or Egypt, if he could get it, he would be able to treat China all over the world in the future.
The layout has a profound impact. This time, it is undoubtedly the best time to control the Suez Canal, a major transportation route, and control Egypt. As long as China can win the final victory of this war, the forces of Britain and France in the Middle East will be
It has been hit hard, and China can take the opportunity to replace it!
"Then, order the front line and follow the plan! I hope to take down the Suez Canal as soon as possible and cut off the retreat of the British and French coalition forces." Wang Yuze said.
"Yes, Your Majesty!" Chief of General Staff Xiong Wu led the order.
"In addition, should people from the Ministry of Foreign Affairs or the Military Intelligence Agency contact Egypt Khdiv Abbas II to keep Egypt neutral in this war? I believe that Abbas II will do the right thing
The decision was made!" said Xiong Wu, Chief of Staff.
"Okay, I will let the people from the Military Intelligence Bureau do it!" Wang Yuze said. Although Egypt's strength is not taken seriously by China, why not do it if it can reduce some trouble? Anyway,
Wang Yuze was not interested in Egypt's territory. All he wanted was the Suez Canal. Of course, the Egyptians might very much hope to regain the sovereignty of the Suez Canal. However, Egypt, with weak national strength, had no such possibility at all. The Suez Canal
The importance made all powerful countries covet this. Even if Britain and France were driven away from the Suez Canal, other countries would replace it. It would be impossible for Egypt to take back the Suez Canal in a short time.
"Your Majesty, Director Wei of the Military Intelligence Bureau is asking for a visit!" At this time, the Chief of Guard Wu Hao reported.
"Xuan, I'm just about to find him!" Wang Yuze said.
"Keep to your Majesty!" After Lieutenant General Wei Zhiyong, the commander of the Military Intelligence Bureau, came in, he saluted Wang Yuze first, and then greeted Chief of Staff Xiong Wu and others.
"Director Wei, there is something that the Military Intelligence Bureau needs to do. Let the people from the Military Intelligence Bureau in Egypt contact Khdiv Abbas II of Egypt and let them remain neutral in this battle!" Wang Yuze said.
"Yes, Your Majesty, I will arrange for someone to meet Abbas II!" Lieutenant General Wei Zhiyong said in charge.
"So, is there anything wrong with your interview this time?" Wang Yuze asked.
"Your Majesty, our people in the Suez Canal call, and a huge fleet is passing through the canal and heading to the Red Sea. This fleet has four battleships. It has been confirmed that this is the "Defensible Class" battleship of the British Royal Navy!" Wei Zhiyongzhong
Will say.
"Impossible! The British Navy's main battleship is still in Portsmouth's military port, how could it pass through the Suez Canal in a blink of an eye? Even if they can fly, it is impossible for them to cross the Mediterranean in such a short time!" Navy Secretary Zhang
Cheng said incredible.
"Mr. Zhang, our people have confirmed that those four battleships are all 'Defensible-class' battleships!" Lieutenant General Wei Zhiyong said affirmatively.
Wang Yuze couldn't help but frown, and suddenly four "Default-class" battleships appeared to enter the Red Sea. I don't know if they would affect the next action.
"The other four British 'Dreadnought' battleships appeared in the Suez Canal. What happened to the warships in Portsmouth military port?" Wang Yuze asked.
"Your Majesty, our British agents also replied that there are indeed four battleships in the Portsmouth military port. But now it seems that those four battleships are not the "Dreadnought-class" battleships of the British Navy, but the United States
The Navy's 'Connectic class' battleship!" Lieutenant General Wei Zhiyong replied.
"Has the Americans intervened?" Wang Yuze's face looked a little ugly. Faced with Britain and France, when Britain and France will not fight with all their strength to fight China, China will still have great advantages. If the United States
If you join in, you won’t be so optimistic! (To be continued. Please search for Astronomy, novels are better, updated and faster!)
