After the hatred of the lonely Kumo test
The report details the naval strength of the Hainan military and China's domestic response.
After Fisher sued, he insisted that the Far East Fleet of the British Navy stop the current adventurous military operations.
When Fisher learned of the size of Hainan's three naval fleets, he became even more convinced that his claim was correct.
However, the main battle faction in Britain, headed by Churchill, is clamoring that the naval fleet of the British Empire must not retreat, which is an extremely shameful act!
Fisher thus met King Edward VII of England, who was ill.
Fisher set out what the British Empire would bring to Britain if it were to get involved in the war.
Ask Edward VII to intervene in this matter, and the British Royal Navy must not be allowed to make such a senseless military adventure.
Edward VII agreed to discuss the matter further with the Prime Ministers, Herbert Henry Asquith and Winston Churchill.
After the intervention of the British king, the British government's final command of the British Far East Fleet was much more relaxed than before.
The next day, the British Far East Fleet, which was far away in the East China Sea, received an order from the Admiralty: to stand by and not to cross the exercise area demarcated by the Hainan army for the time being.
At the same time, the British government sent a British envoy, James Lang, to Shanghai, China, for further contact with Chen Zhong.
AndrΓ© Henry was sent to the United States to have an in-depth discussion with the U.S. government about the situation in the East China Sea.
U.S. President Taft urged the British Navy to end this senseless war, arguing that they should settle the matter through peace talks.
The U.S. Congress has also further discussed this military action, and they believe that the naval battle in the East China Sea is indeed a very hesitant war.
So, the U.S. government made a decision, and they also sent the president's special envoy Kane to China to consult with Chen Zhong on the matter.
Chen Zhong met with British and American envoys on Chongming Island, and he gave an emphasis on the area demarcated by the Hainan army's military exercises in the East China Sea.
The knot is not the most suspicious, and the secret hatred is the most knotted
Chen Zhong said: "The Hainan army's military exercise in the East China Sea is a regular military exercise and is not aimed at any country or group, but this military exercise at sea does have a stronger purpose, that is, to target an invading enemy who is trying to invade China's territory."
The reason why the Hainan army has made such a strong voice is that the Hainan army shoulders the mission entrusted by the 40,000,000 compatriots of the Chinese nation. β
When the British and American envoys talked about how Chen Zhong handled their interests in China, Chen Zhong gave a clear answer to this question: "We have always advocated normal business and cultural exchanges between countries in the world in China, but those unequal privileges that have been caused by historical problems are resolutely banned!" β
Chen's attitude immediately aroused heated discussions around the world, who believed that this was Chen Zhong's warning about the unequal privileges of countries around the world in China.
The day after this remark was made, the British and American fleets adjusted their formations and put on a battle formation for a war with the Hainan army.
At the military meeting of the second phase of the exercise, Chen Zhong stressed that the exercise had entered the second stage, and he ordered all officers and men participating in the exercise to be mentally prepared to fight a vicious battle.

If Britain, the United States, and Japan dare to cross the exercise area demarcated by the Hainan military, then the Hainan army must resolutely, courageously, and resolutely strike at them.
If you want to fight, you must completely smash them and make the East China Sea a sea of death for the combined fleets of Britain, the United States and Japan!
At the same time, Chen Zhong ordered the 12th Army of the Qigang Group Army stationed in Guangdong to move closer to Hong Kong and prepare to be armed into Hong Kong at any time.
For a time, all walks of life in China began to boycott products from Britain, the United States and Japan, and workers in the enterprises of these three countries set off a general strike.
Japanese Prime Minister Katsura Taro sent a telegram to British Prime Minister Asquith and said: "At this time, if we are afraid of the Hainan army, it will be tantamount to self-destruction." Britain, as the hegemon of the sea, should not hesitate at all, but should bear the brunt of the brunt and deal a devastating blow to the arrogant Hainan army. Otherwise, Britain's supremacy in the world's oceans will become history forever! β
British Prime Minister Asquith was extremely unhappy with Japanese Prime Minister Katsura Taro's remarks, and he stressed in his reply: "The fact that the combined fleet of the Japanese army has been destroyed twice under the artillery of the Hainan Fleet is enough to show that the Hainan Army is a powerful fleet of the world level. The hegemon of the sea is fought, not shouted out there! β
The militarist fanatics in Japan seem to have lost patience with the 200 warships of the Triple Combined Fleet lining up in the East China Sea to watch the Hainan army flex its muscles in the East China Sea.
They rushed to Japan's naval base camp to demonstrate and shout that Japan would fight to the death, take advantage of the chaos in China, enter China, reshape Japan's position as the hegemon in Asia, and completely destroy China!
In the eyes of these fanatical Japanese militarists, the Hainan army led by Chen Zhong was nothing more than a bluff, and the combined fleet of Britain, the United States, and Japan should have dealt them a fatal blow before Chen Zhong could establish a firm foothold in the country.
At the moment, Britain and the United States are still arguing about the situation in the East China Sea.
The main war faction believes that Lieutenant General Chen is the biggest stumbling block to the interests of Western countries in China, and if this stumbling block is not removed from this opportunity, then Britain and the United States will forever lose their interests and privileges in China.
The Juhe faction believed that instead of confronting a banditry warlord like Chen Zhong by force, it was better to use Jinyuan diplomacy to invade and plunder China economically and culturally.

"The Hainan army's military exercise in the East China Sea was a regular military exercise and was not aimed at any country or group, but the military exercise at sea did have a stronger purpose, that is, to target the invading enemy who is trying to invade China's territory.
The situation in the East China Sea has gradually spread from regional tensions to the world, and the French government has also caused many differences in China about Chen Zhong's proposition.
The French hardliners believe that the French should not sit idly by, but should take a more active part in the confrontation in the East China Sea, join the camp of Britain, the United States, and Japan, and use force to intimidate Chen Zhong and force Chen Zhong to change his position on abolishing the interests and privileges of Western countries in China.
As a result, the French government was also actively preparing for sending troops to the East China Sea, and ordered the French Far East Fleet to approach the East China Sea.
At the same time, Russia and Japan had private contacts and secretly signed an agreement between Japan and Russia to jointly divide Northeast China, and the tsar said that at the appropriate time, it was possible to send troops to the East China Sea to give Japan some support.

Kaiser Wilhelm II also paid close attention to the situation in the East China Sea, and his hardline attitude in the East China Sea made this imminent naval battle inevitable.
At the same time, Russia and Japan had private contacts and secretly signed an agreement between Japan and Russia to jointly divide Northeast China, and the tsar said that at the appropriate time, it was possible to send troops to the East China Sea to give Japan some support.
In the tense situation in the East China Sea, Wilhelm II's interests in Germany, he believed that Germany should privately give Chen Zhong great support, so that the Hainan army could contain the military power of Britain, France and the United States in the Far East, and win greater space for Germany's interests in Europe.

As a result, Kaiser Wilhelm II secretly sent an envoy to Chongming Island to meet Chen Zhong.
