May 28, Kaihong 6, Atlantic.

Under the blue sky, on the undulating sea, a steel fleet spitting billowing black smoke is chopping waves towards the north, more than 100 nautical miles behind it, followed by another transport fleet full of army soldiers and military supplies, one of the transport ships looks ordinary, a man wearing the army's light green short-sleeved officer's summer uniform, shouldering the rank of general, this will be standing alone on the bridge ceiling, looking from afar, with a hint of smug look between his eyebrows.

Three days ago, three months ago, he had just arrived in China's Northwest African colonies and was officially appointed commander of the Chinese Expeditionary Force, which was no longer the original force of only more than 10,000 people, but a huge army of more than 300,000 troops composed of 12 infantry divisions, 3 cavalry divisions, and 2 artillery divisions.

In order to transport this army, for a whole year, transport ships transported troops from Southeast Asia to Africa, and then through Africa to North West Africa by local transport ships.

When they were stationed in South Africa, the whole world was watching this huge army, and it was clear to everyone that China had mobilized this force to wage the final war against Britain.

Fight the last battle against the British!

Three months ago, now, after an unprecedented number of Chinese troops in Ireland exceeded 100,000 men, China finally reached an agreement with France, after which France agreed to make concessions on the Canadian question, and as compensation, the British Bahamas, Ceylon and other colonies were transferred to France, and the two countries finally reached an agreement on the British question.

The two countries will send their fleets to fight the Royal Navy for a final showdown.

After the final battle, Chinese and French troops will land on British soil......

Of course, this is only an agreement, and the commander of the expeditionary force, at this time, cannot help but hesitate.

From three months ago, when preparations for this war began, to three days ago, when His Majesty received a secret decree, the dream of the Prancing Horse London was shattered.

"China cannot sacrifice its own soldiers for the glory of France, and we will start negotiations with Britain in the near future......"

Negotiation!

It's like pouring a bucket of cold water on his head, and the whole person is ambitious, and when he receives this secret decree, he is all cold.

The war is coming to an end?

The so-called "army attack" is nothing more than a play, a play for the French!

After his arrival in Ireland, the troops may continue to move to Ireland, but war is unlikely to break out, and negotiations will begin when they arrive in Ireland - this scene is also played for the British, to tell the British that you have no choice!

Play!

As an army general, I longed to become a marshal in my heart, and finally understood that he was the highest-ranking actor in the world, and as for the current performance, it was also the largest and most gorgeous performance in the world.

What kind of show will involve as many as 17 ironclad battleships? There are even 6 of the most cutting-edge Guangdong-class ironclad ships.

Compared with the tonnage of less than 7,000 tons of Hubei-class ironclad ships, the Guangdong-class ironclad ship is the most powerful warship ever, its displacement is close to 9,000 tons, the front and rear turrets use a twin 12-inch main, is an unprecedented giant gun, its service can ensure that the Imperial Navy is in a comprehensive advantage over the British Navy, even in the face of the British cutting-edge combat ships, the displacement of more than 11,000 tons of "Indomitable" class combat ships, is not inferior, compared to the British warships, the speed of the Guangdong class is faster, The rate of fire of the artillery is faster, and there is also a numerical advantage, although after the end of the Battle of Cologne, in view of the fact that the main force of its fleet is a fragile wooden hull warship, Britain desperately rushed to build the "Indomitable" class combat ships designed from the "Hubei" class combat ships, but until now, only six of them have been launched, and only four have been put into service in the past few months, compared with the eight "Guangdong-class combat ships" that began to be built before the outbreak of the war, but at the end of last year, they were successively delivered to the navy. Thus radically reversing the inferior position of the Imperial Navy over the British Navy.

The expeditionary fleet, now consisting of six Guangdong-class, six Hubei-class, and five Wuchang-class armored cruisers, is escorting this huge fleet toward the Republic of Ireland, the newest vassal state of the Chinese Empire.

"It's a gorgeous show!"

Yu sighed in his heart, his expression was a little complicated, originally he was full of expectations for this battle, but now, everything is over, and he is no longer even as fanatical about the war as he was in the past.

The fanaticism for war, which is directly related to his vital interests, after all, for a soldier, military merit is the most important, military merit can not only make him a marshal, but also in the future is very likely to rise to the next level in the title, compared to personal military merit, the title can be passed on to future generations.

Although compared with the past, the new title has no fief in Africa, and the fief will not be expanded, but the title is inexhaustible for future generations, as for the fief, the original fief of more than 50 million acres in Africa is enough for a family.

But who would think that the knighthood is low?

But now it seems that all this is no longer pointing to the point.

This war will end because of negotiations, and in his lifetime, it will never be possible for him to realize the dream of the Prancing Horse in London, where he will show off his achievements in destroying the country, and there is no merit that can be compared with the achievements of destroying the country, and even the consul in Burma who destroyed the country of Burma was given the title of Kaixian Baron for his efforts to destroy the country.

What a shame!

Looking at the soldiers on the nearby troop carriers, who would all stand on the side of the ship, enjoying the sea breeze, in order to transport this huge force, not only mobilized a large number of domestic ships, but also hired hundreds of merchant ships from Russia, France, and other European countries, these soldiers, who were originally full of desire to achieve military merit in England, probably could not have imagined that the war was actually ...... It's over!

"But it's fine...... At least, hey, think of it as a trip! ”

Shaking his head helplessly, he finally decided to let go of the obsession in his heart, sometimes, people can't be too paranoid.

At least being able to bring these soldiers home safely is a merit!

When he was convincing himself in his heart, his gaze seemed a little lost, and even the straight spine involuntarily bent slightly.

The soldiers did not know what the general was thinking, and for the soldiers on the troop carriers, they mostly looked at the sea with longing, imagined Europa, and even imagined the passionate blondes there, and in the newspapers they had seen many soldiers of the expeditionary force tying knots there, and then ...... Isn't that a good thing?

Even now, despite the fact that millions of Korean, Japanese, and Vietnamese women marry into China or the colonies every year, there are still millions of singles in the country, and the army is full of such people, so many of them see this expedition as an opportunity.

Of course, not everyone thinks about this, for some of the soldiers on the troop carriers, they think of a monthly salary of 14 yuan - for the soldiers conscripted from Japan on the ship, the military salary is not the most important, the important thing is that as imperial soldiers, after the war, they may get a piece of land in the African colonies with no less than 120 acres. For these soldiers, that's the most heart-wrenching.

120 acres of land!

Enough for them to live in a prosperous life that they had not dared to hope for in the past, and, if they wanted, to marry a local indigenous woman, although the Africans were dark, it was not a big deal. Compared with the obsession of the Chinese, the Japanese are not so particular.

"Oh, African women are also very gentle and have good figures......"

"Yo Sai, what Okamoto-kun said is extremely true"

"The most important thing is cheap, if we marry a Japanese wife, it is impossible to pay a dowry and a ferry ticket without a few hundred yuan, but African women, not so particular, I heard that only a cow can marry a local woman there!"

As soon as the soldier's voice fell, someone over there was thinking about it.

"If you retire in two years, you can save at least 200 yuan, and then go to Africa and get the land allocated to us, and then spend a dozen yuan to buy a horse, buy a few cows, buy all the farm tools, and then build a house...... Estimated maximum $150 ......"

While the soldiers were there contemplating how to unfold their lives, on the side of the upper deck, the officers listened to their voices, and some of them had strange expressions.

"Oh, what a bunch of uninformed farmers! They don't know that as soldiers, they can participate in this war, and they really have no regrets! ”

Standing on the deck, looking at the hundreds of troop carriers flying French, Russian and Chinese flags, Gu Gancheng, who had a thin face, graduated from the Imperial Army Military Academy three years ago and is now the commander of the 141st Division, his expression was extremely excited, although he knew the strength of China and was also impressed by China's strength, but he never thought that China would be so powerful.

When he heard those soldiers talking about marrying wives, he was naturally full of contempt, in his opinion, these people were not soldiers at all, and they were not even worthy of being soldiers, and soldiers should only be samurai, not everyone can be soldiers.

"Yes, the expedition to Europa, more than 20 years ago, when the Westerners opened the door to China, how could they have imagined that one day, the Orientals would beat Britain to pieces."

Yama Youpeng replied with his head bowed, he looked at the soldiers on the deck, listening to them talk about the future, but in the bottom of his mind was another question.

After the defeat of the British, will the more than 16,000 soldiers of the 141st Division become the help of the Chinese Empire in the development of African colonization, as they expected? Unlike other Imperial Army units, the 141st, 143rd, and 144th Divisions were all Japanese units, and although his division commander and regiment commander were all Chinese officers, the officers and soldiers below the battalion level were Japanese.

After the end of the war, why couldn't these three Japanese divisions become Japanese troops? But this did not seem possible, and at the time of conscription, they had already been promised that after the war, they would be given a large piece of land in the African colonies.

In the past, Japanese immigrants were only able to get the right to use a piece of land after working for Chinese immigrants for five years. It was only for 100 years, during which time the colonial government had the right to take it back.

Japanese, Chinese......

Yama Youpeng's expression was a little complicated, although the Chinese admired "East Asian unity" and chanted "the same language and the same species", but the two were never equal.

"Really, they just want to be farmers, but they don't want to ...... After all, we don't even have an army of our own right now......"

Speaking of this, Shan County subconsciously lowered his voice and said to Gu Gancheng

"I heard that the 143rd and 144th Divisions have been ordered to enter the hinterland of the African colonies, where there are many barbarian tribes who believe in Western Catholicism, and in order to ensure the stability of the African colonies, they need to conduct security operations there, and they will also stay ......in Africa in the future."

Gu Gancheng looked around vigilantly, then shook his head and said:

"It would be better to say less of this kind of thing in the future, there are Japanese who contribute to the intelligence services of the empire everywhere, and the same is true among officers."

Not every Japanese who studied in China will become a "pro-China faction," and there are still some who advocate learning from China, but they are resistant to "East Asian integration" and are even more resistant to the "Sino-Japanese alliance" that is beginning to emerge in Japan.

Youpeng in Shan County gritted his teeth, and then whispered:

"I know, but ...... I have a question that I have been holding in my heart for a long time, and I really can't hold it back, do you think this so-called "suzerain" that once helped us drive the British and American ghost animals out of Japan can really lead us to a better future? ”

Faced with this question of Youpeng in Shanxian County, Gu Gancheng smiled bitterly.

"Shanxi, have you ever heard such a sentence? There are no eternal friends, only eternal interests...... We have no choice but to do so for the time being. ”

But Youpeng in Shan County didn't seem to be satisfied, and walked to the railing and slapped it hard.

"It's really ridiculous to say, many Japanese said that they wanted to take away the so-called raze, and then with the help of China, they didn't see it, but the Chinese are learning from those yi, and now China has become more powerful, but what about Japan? Now the country is full of people who advocate a union, especially these farmers, who seem to think that as long as they have a union, they can become Chinese, and then they can go to the colonies and become landlords, but ......"

"Shanxi, that's enough, didn't you notice where we were?"

Gu Gancheng hurriedly interrupted him.

"And, you know, this war is a race for survival, and if China loses, what do you think Japan will become? China, China will lose its colonies at most, but Japan, Japan will become a colony of ghost animals......"
