Beijing time, at 1:00 a.m. on January 8, a car drove out of the Imperial Navy Department and drove towards Xinhua Palace under the escort of a team of cavalry. There were no pedestrians on the street, and there was silence. Although Beijing is now
During the Qing Dynasty, I don’t know how many times it was prosperous, but after nightfall, after 10 o’clock in the evening, except for some special service venues, there were almost no one else!
There are still twenty days left before the New Year, and the atmosphere of the New Year has become increasingly heavy. With the continuous development of the empire's economy, people's living standards are also constantly improving. By the end of the year, everyone can have a lively life
A good year. However, this year is a little different from previous years. While preparing for the New Year, people in China are still paying attention to a war thousands of miles away. Hundreds of thousands of imperial soldiers are still fighting in the Middle East. The war has been
It has been more than three months since its initial defensive, but after the empire is about to win the war.
Navy Minister Zhang Cheng was very happy sitting in the car. The Indian Ocean Fleet's good news just now. After receiving the good news, he rushed to Xinhua Palace and reported good news to the imperial emperor Yuze. Although, this time
In the naval battle, only sank two battleships of the British and American navy, capturing one. He also had a battle cruiser that was sunk. However, the navy had successfully crushed the last struggle between Britain and France. He lost the support of the navy.
It is impossible for the British and French army to open the Suez Canal. They can only watch and hundreds of thousands of troops are trapped in the Saudi Kingdom, losing supplies, either starving to death or having to squadron.
Surrender. China has already won this battle! Next, it is how to obtain the greatest benefits and clarify these benefits in the form of a treaty.
The Admiralty Department was not far from Xinhua Palace and soon arrived outside the palace. At this time, the palace gate was closed. But when Zhang Cheng walked out of the car, the guards of Xinhua Palace immediately came up.
"Mr. Zhang, I'm still here in the palace so late?" asked a guard.
"Please inform me, I have an emergency military situation to see Your Majesty!" Zhang Cheng replied.
"Okay. Lord Zhang, please wait a moment, and I will report to the Chief Guard immediately!" When the guard heard that it was an emergency military situation, he did not dare to neglect. Now, the imperial team is fighting with the British and French coalition forces in the Middle East! If it is delayed,
But no one can afford this responsibility!
A few minutes later, the commander of the guard Wu Hao came to the palace gate and led the Navy Minister Zhang Cheng in.
"Mr. Zhang, I have sent someone to call His Majesty. What is the matter? I am so anxious to see His Majesty?" asked the chief guard Wu Hao.
"General Wu, a happy event! The Indian Ocean Fleet defeated the British and American navies in the Mediterranean!" Navy Secretary Zhang Cheng said with a smile.
"Ah? Really? That's great! If the Navy wins, the war will soon end. Before the New Year, there may be no more large-scale wars. Everyone can finally live a good life
It's been two years!" The guard commander Wu Hao also said very happily.
Wang Yuze met with the Navy Minister Zhang Cheng in the study. At this time, he had already gone to bed. Tonight, it was Rong's turn to sleep. After Wang Yuze enjoyed some exotic charm, he was sleeping soundly, but was a female official.
Wake up. Therefore, I look a little tired!
"Mr. Zhang, what happened? Did the Navy get into trouble?" Wang Yuze asked. Although he was woken up and made him a little unhappy, he also knew that if there was no emergency military information, they would not have disturbed him.
"Your Majesty, I just received a telegram from the Indian Ocean Fleet. In today's naval battle, the Indian Ocean Fleet had defeated the British and American navies. During the fierce battle, we sank a total of two enemy battleships, namely the British Navy's 'Disaster'.
The USS Battleship and the USS Louisiana battleship captured a battleship, the British Navy's "Dreadnought" battleship. In addition, it severely damaged two enemy battleships, namely the British Navy's "Sanctuary" battleship and
The US Navy's "Vermont" battleship. The British and American navy had only five battleships left to flee in a panic. In addition, it sank and severely damaged several armored cruisers, light cruisers and destroyers!" Navy Secretary Zhang Cheng reported with a happy face!
"Haha! Okay, it's so great!" Wang Yuze said excitedly. After the navy won a great victory, then Britain and France will no longer be arrogant. Next, I'm afraid we have to honestly accept the proposal of China.
The conditions for the war have stopped.
"What about our losses? Is it big?" Wang Yuze asked. He sank two opponent's battleships and captured one. The Indian Ocean Fleet may have suffered a lot. You must know that even after strengthening the two battleships,
The strength of the Indian Ocean Fleet is also weaker than that of the British and American navies!
"The Indian Ocean Fleet did not suffer much loss, only a few battleships were slightly injured. However, the battleship "Meng Tian" was sunk! There were two light cruisers and three destroyers who were sunk!"
Zhang Cheng said.
"The 'Meng Tian' was sunk? Alas, it seems that the battlecruiser should not participate in the duel of the main battleship! Although the firepower of the battlecruiser is strong, its armor is too weak. When it is bombarded with the battleship, it is very important.
"Will the loss!" Wang Yuze sighed. If the number of battleships was not enough, he would not have sent battleship cruisers to the Middle East to reinforce. Although the warships would inevitably be sunk in naval battles, a new warship was sunk.
He still felt very uncomfortable.
"Your Majesty, this situation will change after our 'Han-class' battleships are in service!" Zhang Cheng said. The 'Han-class' battleships have built a total of six. In addition to most of the replenishing earth fleets, the Pacific Ocean
The fleet and the Indian Ocean fleet can also be divided into one. The Han-class battleship uses a triple 343mm naval gun, which is much more powerful than the Qin-class battleship. After the Han-class battleship is put into service, the Chinese Navy will
The strength of the company will definitely reach a higher level.
"When will the 'Han-class' battleship be put into service?" Wang Yuze asked. The 'Han-class' battleship is the most powerful battleship designed by the Chinese Navy, and the construction period is much larger than the previous battleship captain.
"The construction progress of the 'Han-class' battleship is no longer slow. However, it is expected that it will not be launched until the end of this year or the beginning of next year. It is expected that sea trials can be started before the end of next year and can be put into service at the beginning of next year!" Zhang
Cheng said. Because of the construction of six ships at one time, the progress will inevitably be slower.
Wang Yuze nodded: "This time, we have captured three battleships in total. We have brought these three battleships back to the shipyard for maintenance and modification. We will then allocate them to the Indian Ocean Fleet and the Pacific Fleet. Two Indian Ocean Fleet and one Pacific Fleet.
.The Earth Fleet is not used for the time being!”
"Pacific Fleet? Your Majesty, the Indian Ocean Fleet is under greater pressure now. Is it better to allocate these three battleships to the Indian Ocean Fleet?" Zhang Cheng asked. If China occupied the Suez Canal, the navy would enter the Mediterranean. At this time,
The size of the Indian Ocean fleet must be enhanced.
"The Pacific Fleet has been silent for three years. After the Chinese New Year, we should also make some moves in the Americas!" Wang Yuze said.
"Yes, your majesty, I understand!" Zhang Cheng no longer got entangled in this issue. Since he was going to attack America, it was natural to strengthen the strength of the Pacific Fleet! Although China was in the war three years ago
It defeated the United States and obtained Alaska, China's icefield province. However, for other parts of the Americas, China's power is still blank. It is inevitable that China needs to continue to expand and begin to intervene in the Americas.
After Zhang Cheng left, Wang Yuze returned to the bedroom, but the news of the Navy's victory made him a little excited and it was difficult to fall asleep. At this time, Concubine Rong, Haiermchud, was also awakened, and Wang Yuze simply pulled Concubine Rong, Haiermchu
De, once again, the beautiful Bavarian princess, fair skin, golden hair, and slightly tender body made Wang Yuze very fascinated!
When the Chinese Navy and the British and American Navy fought in the Mediterranean, the British and French coalition forces easily broke through the squadron's defense line. Under the bombardment of the British and American Navy, the defense line of the 32nd Division of the Chinese Army was severely damaged and the troops were also lost.
It was so heavy that he had to retreat to Port Said. The British and French forces were able to drive straight into Port Said.
However, the squadron's defense line in Port Said was arranged in a solid manner. Outside the city, there were three lines of defense. The Seventh Army sent heavy troops to defend. It was almost impossible for the British and French coalition forces to break through these three lines of defense. Unless, they
It can be supported by the navy again. However, now that the British and American navy have been dragged down by the Chinese navy's Indian Ocean Fleet, the British and French coalition forces want to get the support of the navy again and easily break through the squadron's defense line, that is impossible.
.
In order to defeat the squadron and re-open the connection with the expeditionary force, British Field Marshal Frederick Roberts issued an order to attack that afternoon. On the four-kilometer-long defense line, the British and French forces invested two armies and launched a hundred thousand people.
Attack. The Seventh Army, relying on its strong fortifications, also invested the forces of two divisions.
Although the attacks of the British and French coalition forces were very fierce, they were still hit in front of the squadron's strong fortifications. In less than half a day of attack, they left at least 20,000 corpses in front of the squadron's defense line.
It was not until dark that the troops had to withdraw. At this time, the news that the Chinese Navy won the naval battle had been passed back to Port Said. The British and French coalition forces were no longer able to win!
