The Strait of Malacca was actually under the control of the British colonies, but when the Chinese army retreated, the British Straits Settlements fleet was weak and did not dare to stop it, so the Chinese army successfully withdrew to the Natuna Islands. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo

The day after the withdrawal of the Huaxia Army, the European Allied Fleet came from Malacca in a big way.

It was the most powerful steam engine fleet in history, a huge fleet that stretched for thirty or forty kilometers long, and many of the timid local natives on both sides of the strait were frightened to death, and many of them were frightened to the point of cerebral hemorrhage and paralysis.

The British and Dutch colonial administrators on both sides of the strait, under the strong pressure of the Chinese army to occupy Borneo, have been in a state of depression, at this moment to see the huge European fleet, all rejoice, many noble ladies who have been hiding in the depths of the attic all the year round have run out, playing the accordion in the street and singing and dancing, some of the debauchery almost stripped off their clothes and danced, so that the onlookers feasted their eyes.

Some well-intentioned colonial administrators instigated some natives to go to the residences of local Chinese people to shout and kill.

Fortunately, the Chinese had already received information from China, most of them had withdrawn to the control areas of the Chinese Empire, and some of the remaining Chinese had also gone incognito or hidden, so that they were not subjected to the massacre.

Moreover, Hu Zhen, the emperor of the Chinese Empire, released cruel words, if the Chinese people were attacked inhumanely, the Chinese Empire would definitely retaliate, the Dutch and the English were afraid of the strong naval and army forces that still existed in the Chinese Empire, and did not dare to be too presumptuous, and the Chinese people only suffered property losses, and did not produce too many casualties.

But if the main force of the Chinese army and navy is defeated, the overseas Chinese will end up very tragically.

When all the Chinese people arrived in the European Combined Fleet, from Borneo to the Chinese mainland, almost every Chinese along the coast were burning incense and praying, or silently praying in their hearts for the ancestors and the gods and Buddhas to bless the Chinese army to defeat the European Combined Fleet this time.

Undoubtedly, this will be a decisive battle that will determine the fate of the whole of East Asia.

The Europeans thought almost nothing on the minds of the Chinese Empire that it would be defeated.

Things really seem to be as they estimated.

Perhaps in order to take into account the faces of both sides, although the European countries sent fleets, they still did not form a joint fleet with the two countries that were at war with the Chinese Empire, but formed a seven-nation fleet (the German Imperial fleet broke anchor in the Indian Ocean, and it became a seven-nation alliance from the Eight-Nation Alliance) to rush to the Far East.

But since the Huaxia Army used mines to blow up an airship carrier, a logistics supply ship, and damage a battleship in the Indian Ocean, this nature has all changed, which means that the Huaxia Empire wants to declare war on the European Combined Fleet.

As a result, the diplomatic envoys stationed in the capital of the Chinese Empire submitted the Book of Mourning to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the Chinese Empire (a transliteration of the Latin ultimatum, meaning "ultimatum"), forcing the Chinese Empire to meet the demands of the European countries:

First, pay 100 million pounds in compensation to European countries and the United States for military spending;

second, the Huaxia Army ceded all maritime territories south of the Bass Strait and east of Guam (including Guam);

thirdly, to return all the lands seized from the Oros, and to compensate the Oros with 100 million pounds sterling for military expenses;

Fourth, withdraw from the Goryeo Peninsula and return the Ryukyu Islands to the Wa State, and pay 50 million pounds in compensation to the Wa State;

Fifth, the territory of Alaska will be returned to the United States, and the Panama Canal, Puerto Rico, and Hawaii will be handed over to Europe and the United States.

Sixth, the Chinese Empire immediately negotiated with other countries, the coastal cities of the Chinese Empire were fully opened, and the customs were handed over to the joint control of European countries;

Seventh, the Chinese Empire must hand over all its technological secrets to all countries to share;

Eighth, the emperor of the Chinese Empire, Hu Zhen, immediately announced his abdication, and under the supervision of European countries, a general election was held in China to run for the emperor.

This is simply an ultimatum to destroy the Chinese Empire, and the European countries did not intend to let the Chinese Empire agree to this ultimatum from the beginning, they thought that they were sure to win, what they wanted was to destroy the Chinese Empire's navy, compress the power of the Chinese Empire to the Chinese continent, and not take a step towards the ocean.

In fact, the European countries are taking off their pants and farting, their goal in organizing the eastward march of the combined fleet is to target the Chinese Empire, the Chinese army did not blow up their ships in the Indian Ocean, and they will also find other reasons to present the "Book of Lamentation" to the Chinese Empire.

When Hu Zhen received a telegram from Foreign Minister Niu Quyun in the main fleet of the Huaxia Army, he immediately sneered and immediately telegraphed Niu Quyun, and also sent a "Mournful Maidon Book" to European countries and the United States, and also put forward a tough eight ultimatum-for-tat:

First, Asia is the Asia of the Asians, and the Pacific Ocean is the Pacific of the Pacific people, and the fleets of the European countries and the United States immediately roll out of the Pacific Ocean;

Second, the Wa State is a country of war criminals who have invaded the people of Great China, and it must pay the heaviest price, and now it will inevitably pay an even heavier price if it colludes with foreign countries to intervene.

Thirdly, from now on, France must withdraw from the colony of Annam;

Fourth, England must withdraw from the Straits Settlements;

Fifth, the English colony of Miandian was originally a vassal state of the Chinese dynasties, and England had to be returned to the Chinese Empire;

Sixth, the British colonies of India, Pakistan, Afghanistan, and the Middle East must let the natives control their own destiny and make these places independent, and the English troops should immediately withdraw from these areas;

Seventh, the United States must give the Indians and blacks independent statehood;

Eighth, the European countries and the United States that participated in this expedition paid 10 billion Chinese currency yuan in compensation to the Chinese Empire.

Hu Zhen's eight-point ultimatum was not intended to be agreed to by European countries at all, but only to overpower the enemy in momentum.

Sure enough, when the dignitaries of European countries received this "Book of Lamentation", they immediately took it as a joke and threw the piece of waste paper into the trash. He could not wait to order his respective fleets to attack immediately, and it was imperative to destroy the Huaxia fleet and carve up the maritime territories of the Far East Pacific.

The fleets of the countries that had just arrived at the port of Singapore in the Straits Settlements were too large to be assigned a berth for repairs, and were lining up to obtain docks and docks to repair the fleets on long voyages.

However, as soon as they received the telegram from their respective countries, the fleets of various countries did not care about repairs, and immediately set off to attack the Chinese Imperial Navy in Borneo. (To be continued.) )
