After hearing this, Alan raised his head in some horror: "Sir, I didn't do anything to endanger the empire. ”

Li Chok Dong took out a few photos and put them in front of Allen, and then stared at him deadly, ready to listen to his explanation.

Alan suddenly became anxious after seeing the photo.

"Sir, although I am a descendant of immigrants, I am a native of the Tang Kingdom and will not oppose my country. This is ......" He suddenly saw a photo of himself with Huang Zhiying, for a while, Allen's face changed suddenly, and after more than ten seconds of silence, Allen, who had been hanging his head slightly, raised his head. "Sir, I'm from the Tang Kingdom! But I will never admit that I betrayed my homeland, and I can sacrifice everything for the sake of my motherland......" his voice gradually raised, as if he wanted to use this method to prove that he was not a traitor.

Li Zuodong noticed that he was very firm in his answer to himself, so he said: "You have attended about sixteen, oh no, seventeen meetings of the Acias Shabaab. I can trust you, but prosecutors never think so, they only believe the evidence. In addition, we do not discriminate against the descendants of Western immigrants, just like this person......" he pointed to Huang Zhiying's photo, "A person of pure Tang blood can also be bought by the West and become a traitor." You need to use your actions to clear your name. ”

His words sent a wave through Allen's heart, "Sir, what do you say I should do. He didn't want to be charged with treason, which would affect his family's life for the rest of the day.

Li Zuodong looked at the desire to survive in his eyes and felt quite satisfied, so he smiled and said: "It's very simple, cooperate with us, we can prove that you are our staff ......"

……

On May 3, 305, cold air from the north of the Antarctic had crossed the Southern Channel and began to sweep across the narrow land of southern South America, and the originally relatively calm sea began to become manic.

In the evening, the waves of the new Tsushima East Port pier are scorched at night, and the air of early winter fills the entire harbor with a bleak and cold atmosphere. By the faint light, several cars were parked on the dock, and Vice Admiral Jin Zhihang, chief of staff of the Imperial Navy's South American Fleet, and Rear Admiral Chen Shaofeng, chief of fleet operations, were seeing off Admiral Chen Shiying, commander of the Imperial Navy's North Atlantic Task Force, who was about to go on an expedition.

This task force, consisting of four aircraft carriers "Qiongju", "Yiju", "Jeju" and "Bukdao", fast battleships "Yanshan", "Hengshan", "Nanling" and "Qinling", heavy cruisers "Leizhou" and "Liaozhou", eight light cruisers, and 12 large ocean-going destroyers, is ready to prepare for departure in the harbor, which is already the strongest force that the Imperial Navy can send in the Atlantic Ocean at present.

After the time entered mid-April, the situation in the Americas took a sharp turn for the worse, and due to the loss of sea supremacy, European personnel and all kinds of advanced weapons and equipment were transported to some independent states in South America and North America without any scruples, and in the northeast of North America and the northeast of South America, two independent separatist regimes appeared.

The Empire's more than 700,000 garrisons in the Americas were losing ground on the battlefield because they were still using the outdated weapons of the last war. No one expected that the Imperial Army would be so vulnerable and lose a large part of its territory in such a short period of time. At present, the army of the "Republic of America" in South America, with the support of hundreds of thousands of European "volunteers", is marching in the two directions of the Central American Narrows and the Great West River (Amazon River) in the south, and it is only when it enters the mountains of northwestern South America that it encounters relatively stubborn resistance.

Now Europe has begun to wave an olive branch again, and wants to "mediate and negotiate" with the Tang Empire.

What a joke!

The Imperial Navy's surface fleet went to war this time after Prime Minister Lee Kum Tong became angry.

Originally, Marshal Pei Yunsong, Minister of the Imperial Navy, and Marshal Liu Chengliang, the decisive commander of the Navy, had been pursuing the strategy of "protecting ships first", but they were scolded back by the angry Prime Minister Li Jintang: "Do you want to leave these warships in the harbor to hatch chickens or are you going to let the British go to Scapa Bay to sink them?!" For every one warship you lose, I will replenish two for you, and the warships are built so that the enemy can sink them, not to be escorted into the enemy's harbor to sink themselves, as you do! ”

The emperor's words made all the imperial naval generals present at that time feel embarrassed and ashamed, these words were really ugly, not only a slap in the face, Marshal Pei Yunsong was so angry that he almost resigned.

Marshal Liu Chengliang originally planned to use several warships to enter the North Atlantic to carry out sabotage combat missions, but was immediately rejected by the top decision-making level, and the prime minister asked for a more powerful fleet to attack. In addition, according to the telegram sent back by Admiral Hu Yuewen, who was still fighting in the Caribbean, due to the presence of reconnaissance planes, it was very difficult for a single ship to survive the enemy's encirclement and interception. Second, in the absence of aircraft carriers, it is difficult for a simple formation of surface ships to launch an attack on the port, and after attacking the port, it will soon suffer a counterattack from the air, and the damage to the enemy's transportation routes is very limited.

In other words, Admiral Hu Yuewen does not advocate sending purely surface ships to sea to fight without aircraft carriers.

Because of this, in the end, the General Staff of the Imperial Navy came up with such a "sharp blade" plan, and almost all the resources of the Ninth Fleet and the South American Fleet were used to cobble together such a powerful surface fleet, which was simply a frame of going to sea to find the Europeans to fight hard. There was no way, the prime minister asked the naval fleet to go all out into the North Atlantic to stop the enemy's attack on the Caribbean.

Now, the upper echelons of the empire threw their sabers out of their hands without hesitation.

Whether the final result will be injury or self-harm, no one knows.

The battleship "Nanling" took the lead, flashing the lights of the formation sailing on the mast, and this huge fleet quietly sailed out of the East Port in the hazy night, heading in the direction of the South Grand River (La Plata). The Battle of the Bay of Biscay during the last war was a topic of conversation among the Navy, but this time, the kind of large-scale naval gun duel may never happen again. According to the entire battle plan, the four fleet aircraft carriers and the modified aircraft carriers have instead become the main operational core of this fleet.

"We're probably taking too much risk this time." Seeing the fleet slowly disappearing at the end of the channel, Vice Admiral Jin Zhihang turned his head and said to Chen Shaofeng with some concern. Although the two have worked together in the navy for many years, due to the conflict between them over the concept of naval construction, Kim Zhihang is nothing more than complaining.

"General, you can take the opportunity to ask the top management to add a new shipbuilding plan." After watching the raid fleet set off, Chen Shaofeng casually snorted, "I heard that the General Staff is formulating an operational plan for a breakthrough from the Baltic Sea, but now we really don't have enough troops." ”
