This war, which had been prepared for 10 years, had reached the situation it is today, which they never expected. On the eve of the imminent victory, there was an accident that God could not have imagined!

The Hainan fleet has already made Emperor Meiji unforgettable. Now it seems that for Japan this is a military force that they must eliminate.

This fleet has caused them great trouble. Emperor Meiji really regretted that he had not listened to Hirobumi Ito's advice and destroyed the Hainan Palace.

It turned out that the military power of Hainan, which was not worth mentioning in the eyes of the ambitious Meiji Emperor, had become a huge obstacle for him, and this obstacle had seriously hindered the progress of his bandit team of the Great Japanese Empire into the Liaodong Peninsula and hindered his ambition to dominate the Far East.

He wants to eradicate this huge hidden danger, because the war that he gambled with the whole of Japan cannot just disappear.

At this moment, Emperor Meiji and his team of bandits are like a red-eyed gambler, and they have to make a final gamble, and they have to add bigger chips.

"Ladies and gentlemen, the 100-year national fortune of our Great Japanese Empire is here. This time, we really saw clearly that our real enemy is Hainan Wangfu. Only now do we realize that they have been looking for an opportunity to destroy us from the beginning, and they have come with a vengeance! This king of Hainan is a complete demon king, he has been preparing for so many years, and now it seems that he wants to kill us, our great Japanese empire has now reached the critical point of life and death, without getting rid of this military force, our great Japanese empire's great East Asia concept will not be realized! "Emperor Meiji had apparently entered a state of rage, as if his mind had been seriously disturbed.

Aritomo Yamagu, then chief of staff of the Japanese army and director of the military station, said: "Your Majesty the Emperor, the strategic plan of our Great Japanese Empire has not been greatly affected, and you have exaggerated the strength of the Hainan army a little.

I think back then, during the First Sino-Japanese period, the entire Qing Dynasty was not our opponent, and now, we have solved the Russian Far East Army in one year, a small Hainan army, although it accidentally hit our Japanese Navy, it cannot change the situation in the entire Far East, this territory, or we have the final say! ”

Yamamoto Gonbei said: "Commander Yama Prefecture is a little overconfident, the current Hainan Fleet can defeat our Japanese Combined Fleet, although there is an element of luck, but our two fleets were actually destroyed by the Hainan Fleet."

I suggest that His Majesty the Emperor should send a request to Great Britain to fulfil our Anglo-Japanese Covenant and to send their Far Eastern Fleet to deal a devastating blow to the Hainan Fleet!

And ask our genius agent Akashi Motojiro to dismantle the ruling group in Hainan from within, we have to make a long-term plan, don't be rash, otherwise, our Great Japanese Empire will lose even more. ”

Emperor Meiji raised his hand and motioned for them to stop arguing, and then said, "Minister Yamamoto is right, it's time for our allies, the British, to step in." Ask the Ministry of Foreign Affairs to contact the British and ask them to send troops to the Naval Port. ”

In the afternoon of the same day, Admiral Philmantle, commander of the British Far East Fleet, who was observing the decisive battle in the Sea of Japan in the East China Sea, received an invitation from Japan to send troops.

General Fermantle looked at the invitation document of the Japanese army, shook his head and said: "I really admire the courage of the king of Hainan, every time he makes a move, I am surprised, he is really a restless guy, his behavior is always incredible, I really can't figure it out, how can this king of Hainan dare to use the power of a region to compete with a country?" I really like this guy a little bit, and it's always fun to have him in this area. ”

Two hours later, British Prime Minister Balfour received this report, and Arthur Balfour looked at the letter from Japan asking the British Far East Fleet to send troops to fight in coordination with their Japanese forces on the Liaodong Peninsula and declare war on the Hainan Fleet.

The relations between Britain, Germany, France, Russia, and Japan on the Liaodong Peninsula are very delicate, and Britain's rash dispatch of troops will inevitably cause changes in the situation on several sides.

At present, Britain and Germany are engaged in a fierce naval arms race at sea, and the situation between Britain and Germany in Europe is very tense, and if they send troops to the naval port, it may trigger a large-scale war between Britain and Germany, which is out of control, and this is a very dangerous problem.

Prime Minister Arthur Balfour immediately presented the matter to King Edward VII, who was not too interested in sending troops to the Yellow Sea.

Edward VII said: "This Hainan fleet must have received the tacit approval of the Qing Dynasty, but if we question the Qing Dynasty, they will never admit it, which shows that externally, the Hainan Fleet is only a local fleet, and they attacked the Japanese, at best, they encountered a group of powerful pirates in Japan." So, Mr. Prime Minister, let's not take a stand now, but as appropriate, you know. With that, he and Arthur Balfour looked at each other and smiled.

After a day's rest and replenishment, the Hainan fleet began to sail towards the Yellow Sea.

General Chen Fangzheng came to Chen Zhong's side and said, "Lord Wang, the British Far East Fleet has been following us all night, have they been invited by the Japanese army to declare war on our Hainan Fleet?" ”

Chen Zhong laughed: "The commander of this fleet is still General Philmantel." They are all old friends, give them flags, tell them that if they are interested, they will come on the boat for a drink and catch up on the old days. Don't be like a little daughter-in-law. ”

Chen Fangzheng laughed, he turned around and ordered the soldiers to wave the flag to the British army according to the prince's wishes. Three minutes later, the British quietly moved away from the Hainan fleet.

At nine o'clock in the morning, the Hainan Fleet arrived at the south side of the Wei Navy Port, and at this time, four British large-tonnage cruisers sailed out of the Wei Navy Port and waved the flag to the Hainan Fleet: This sea area is under the joint jurisdiction of Britain and Japan, and your fleet should immediately turn around and leave this area.

Chen Fangzheng reported the situation in front of the Hainan fleet to Chen Zhong: "Lord Wang, the British ships in the Wei Navy Port are blocking the advance of our fleet in the front, how to deal with it?" ”

Chen Zhong sneered: "General Chen Fangzheng, order our Hainan Fleet Mobile Battle Formation and the Second Battle Formation Group to turn the direction of the battleships, aim all the guns at the British * ships in front, and order our Hainan Fleet to warn them with three guns first, and tell them to give way within half an hour, otherwise, the Hainan Fleet will shell Wei Navy Port today!" ”
