Chapter 365: A New Round of Naval Tactical Deception
While the Chinese Empire was celebrating with the whole country, Britain and Japan were in tears, hiding in the corners of the walls and cursing in circles.
Although the war is over, it is only on the surface, and it is for the people of the two countries to see. In fact, dark wars between countries will never stop, especially between hostile countries, and dark wars are more brutal, sometimes more dangerous and more destructive than wars on the surface.
The Chinese Empire's S.H.I.E.L.D. and the British Empire's MI5, the secret warfare and fighting methods between the world's two largest intelligence agencies, if they are exposed by the media, the results will inevitably be shocking.
Although the intelligence agencies of the British Empire were established later than the Chinese S.H.I.E.L.D., they were able to quickly extend their intelligence tentacles to all parts of the world in a short period of time with the help of the British Empire's colonial system and huge funds around the world. On the other hand, the China S.H.I.E.L.D. was founded by Li Weiguo and started from scratch, relying on Li Weiguo's personal funds to provide operations, and it has been accumulated bit by bit to its current scale.
However, S.H.I.E.L.D. outnumbered British intelligence tactically and strategically. First of all, Li Weiguo began to secretly deploy European and American intelligence stations more than 20 years ago, first bribing locals in European and American countries as eyeliners, and when the adopted European and American orphans have been trained and grown up, they will become the main force responsible for operating intelligence stations in Europe and the United States. It is naturally much safer and more convenient to use Europeans and Americans to collect intelligence than to use Chinese faces to collect intelligence, so Li Weiguo won the first step in tactics. Although the British Intelligence Service was established quickly, it hit a nail in the Chinese Empire, and they have been taking the low-end route and bribing the ordinary people of the Chinese Empire as spies, which has a certain risk, and is easy to be discovered and arrested by the Homeland Security Service, the local intelligence agency of the Chinese Empire.
This was also one of the main reasons for the British Empire's successive defeats during the four Yapian wars with the Chinese Empire. Because most of the information obtained by the British was false and misleading information deliberately released by the Chinese Empire, which was finally reflected in the disastrous defeat of the British Empire's navy and army, which caused the British Empire to suffer a great loss.
Now that the British are aware of this serious problem, the intelligence agencies have begun to learn the clever tactics of S.H.I.E.L.D., and have begun to secretly adopt Chinese orphans and then train them to become British spies. In the future, return to the Chinese Empire to spy on intelligence.
This kind of thing cannot be stopped, even if the Chinese Empire controls it strictly, there are a large number of irresponsible parents who abandon their children, and eventually the children fall into the hands of the British and are trained as spies. There are also a large number of overseas Chinese, not all of whom love the motherland, and a considerable number of them have become lackeys of foreigners, which is also human nature, and it is impossible to stop these renegade Chinese. Under the pretext of visiting relatives and returning to their hometowns to worship their ancestors or investing, they legally enter the territory of the Chinese Empire, and then spy on intelligence, these people are not easy to be discovered, because the Chinese are a country that talks about human feelings, even if relatives know that the other party is a spy, it is difficult to call the police, which also brings huge counter-espionage pressure to the Homeland Security Bureau of the Chinese Empire.
In short, whether it is S.H.I.E.L.D. or MI5. Both sides are facing increasingly sophisticated espionage operations, and the road is one foot higher and the devil is higher. The magic is one foot high and three feet high, and the two sides are fighting wits and courage, and the escalating secret war will become more and more hidden and difficult to detect.
Blocking intelligence leaks is a means of covert warfare, and strategic deception is also another clever method, which the Chinese Empire has used many times in a row, and it has been tried and tested repeatedly. They have won four Yapian wars, and all that the British have lost is their pants.
This time, the Imperial Chinese military also released another piece of strategic deceptive intelligence, that is, the largest and most powerful shipyard of the Imperial Chinese Navy, the No. 1 dock of Jiangnan Shipyard, has started construction of a large battleship with a displacement of 15,000 tons.
On the government side, the Information Office of the Imperial Chinese Academy of Sciences took the initiative to give a briefing at a regular press conference. Part of the data on the newly started large battleship was announced.
"The Imperial Chinese Navy is the indisputable strongest naval force in the world, and every warship of our navy is of the highest quality and most advanced performance in the world. This time, the construction of the new class of battleships will create a world peak, which is reflected in her standard displacement of 15,000 tons, which is the largest warship in the world, her armor is the strongest shield, which can resist the attack of any naval gun, and the guns she carries will be the most and strongest in the world, which can easily destroy any active battleship, and her speed will also be the fastest in the world...... She will ensure that the Chinese Empire wins the next naval war......"
As the press briefing for the Chinese Empire ended, news of the new battleship quickly spread around the world. The governments and militaries of all countries in the world attach great importance to it, but they also know that the credibility of this news issued by the official government of the Chinese Empire will not be too high, there must be moisture in it, as for how much water, it has to be judged by the IQ of military experts in various countries.
The British were the most nervous, having lost four wars against China in succession, ceding more than 8 million square kilometers of land and paying a huge compensation of 200 million pounds. The Royal Navy of the British Empire, which has been arrogant for hundreds of years, was almost completely wiped out, and hundreds of warships were lost.
In the Fifth Anglo-Chinese War, which lasted more than nine months, the British Empire's financial expenditure exceeded 3 billion pounds, although the British pound was greatly depreciated because of the Chinese Empire's illegal attacks, but it was actually the hard-earned money of the British people, which was essentially a loss for Britain.
Although the British were defeated and signed the humiliating Sino-British and Swiss Peace Treaty, the small universe of the British also broke out, and calves were put in the corners of the wall - dung (angry) smeared (pictured) wall (strong).
The British held their breath, just like the scene after the fiasco in the First Sino-Japanese War in the history of the Chinese Empire, the fighting spirit of the whole people was stimulated, and the reform was strong.
Now, the Sauron government has vowed in front of the people that it will wash away the national humiliation and revitalize the economic and military power of the British Empire.
This time, the Sauron government did not fall, they succeeded in transferring the domestic contradictions to the Chinese Empire, and all the British hated the Chinese Empire and supported the various reforms and efforts of the British Imperial Government.
However, the Sauron government was very careful to control public opinion, and he did not want to provoke the Chinese Empire because of his insulting remarks, causing the Chinese Empire to fight again with Britain before the British Empire recovered.
Similarly, the Sauron government is actively studying the next steps of the Chinese Empire and then figuring out how to deal with it.
"For the new class battleships announced by the Chinese Empire. What do you guys think? ”
Cook, as the Minister of Defense, first said: "This is the news released by the Chinese Imperial Government, it is impossible to tell a lie, that will affect the credibility of the Chinese Empire, so we remove the flowery modifiers and just look at the basic data they provide." ”
Removing the ornate embellishments? Just looking at the basics?
Others were also drunk. They all secretly scolded the old fox of Cook, Nima removed those gorgeous modifiers, and the basic data was left with a standard row of 15,000 tons, which was used by birds!
However, everyone is also an old fox, and soon they have analyzed the displacement of 15,000 tons, but most of them are talking nonsense. For example, according to the standard displacement of 15,000 tons, it is estimated that the full combat load may reach about 16,000 to 17,000 tons, and then the Queen Elizabeth-class ironclad ships under construction in the dock are compared, and the opponent's armor weight is estimated to be about 5,000 tons. The weight of armament is about 3,000 tons, ammunition is 2,000 tons, and the rest is the weight of equipment, etc. It's exhaustive, but it doesn't have any value.
Saul shook his head helplessly, took out a few copies of the magazines of the Chinese Empire, handed them to everyone, and asked the translator to translate them for everyone on the spot.
This is a magazine from a newspaper office in the Chinese Empire that has recently become popular, and the title is Military Intelligence Express. It contains a large number of pictures of the training scenes and weapons and equipment of the Chinese Imperial Shence Army, and attaches relevant comments. Some equipment even gives detailed data.
"This is the bloody heavy machine gun of the Chinese Empire!" The Minister of War, Admiral Henry, suddenly exclaimed, he had investigated in detail the various war reports during the Sino-British War, and what made the British army suffer was this new heavy machine gun of the Chinese Empire - Blood, which was called a new generation of meat grinder by the British army, and on the battlefield, a large number of British troops were shot in the head by its 50-inch large-caliber bullets. Covered in blood, it was named Violent Blood, and it was truly cruel.
But Henry had only heard of Bloodshed, but not of it, because the British had not captured the Bloodshed heavy machine gun at all.
Nowadays see the photos and descriptions. Henry was deeply shocked when he finally got his wish.
A senior army general next to him pointed to a portrait of a character next to him at this time, and asked the interpreter to react to him.
The translator then said: "This is Mr. Zhang Zi, a special military expert of Military Intelligence Express, and the military fans of the Chinese Empire have nicknamed him Zhang Juzao, and it is said that he has unique views on military affairs. ”
"Don't talk nonsense, it doesn't matter if he's Mr. Zhang or Zhang Juzao, I want to know what he thinks of the Bloody Heavy Machine Gun!" The army officer shouted impatiently.
The translator hurriedly translated the following words about the chapter bureau.
"Recently, military fans asked me what are the differences and advantages between the new weapon used on the battlefield by the Chinese Imperial Shence Army's Bloody Heavy Machine Gun and the Gatling Machine Gun used earlier, and I have come to the following conclusions through personal research and research."
"Gatling is fired in turns with multiple barrels, which is much better than a single-barreled Bloody Heavy Machine Gun in terms of barrel life and heat dissipation; However, the Bloody Heavy Machine Gun uses the world's most advanced use of its own drug recoil when the bullet is fired to achieve the return and re-entry of the bullet, the rate of fire is more than double that of the Gatling machine gun, this is just an official statement, in fact, I interviewed some soldiers of the Imperial Chinese Army and learned that the rate of fire of the Bloody Heavy Machine Gun on the battlefield can reach 800 rounds per minute, while the highest rate of fire of Gatling is only 250 rounds per minute, because of the hand-cranked drive, the soldiers on the battlefield are very nervous, and it is easy to shake the Gatling to cause a click phenomenon, In fact, it would be nice for Gatling to have a rate of fire of 150 rounds per minute. On the battlefield, when there is not much difference in the quality of the soldiers of the two armies, you can shoot me 150 rounds a minute, but I can beat you 800 rounds. ”
"In addition, the Gatling machine gun had a lateral rolling force, which caused the shooting accuracy to deteriorate; Multiple barrels, also too heavy; And the bloody heavy machine gun, with water cooling, also has good heat dissipation; Burst Blood has a stable rate of fire and can be fired; The single barrel has high accuracy and is much lighter, which is convenient for soldiers to deploy and fight. ”
"When I was interviewing in the army, a soldier showed me the power of the bloody heavy machine gun, and he pulled the trigger and broke the tree a hundred meters away in 30 seconds. Because it uses .50-inch heavy machine gun ammunition, the power is much stronger than rifle bullets, and one shot can blow up people's heads, hit the torso and cause direct death with a thick wound on the mouth of the bowl, and the limbs hit are broken arms and legs. More than half of the 200,000 British troops were killed or wounded, and most of those who survived were crippled. ”
When he heard this, the army officer's face was ugly, as if he thought of the British soldiers who had returned from wounded on the battlefield, most of them were crippled, so he immediately stopped the interpreter from continuing.
At this time, on the other side, the British First Sea Minister Fisher also found the content he was concerned about, and exclaimed: "This chapter is very reasonable, he said that the new battleships of the Imperial Chinese Navy are made of all steel, and they must not be measured by the weight distribution standard of ironclad ships, he is too right, we thought that the Hsiungfeng-class battleships of the Chinese Imperial Navy were ironclad ships, and as a result, the armor distribution principle of ironclad ships was used to judge the Hsiungfeng battleships. Naturally, the wrong conclusions were drawn. ”
Cook hurriedly asked, "Does that chapter bureau also have the latest battleships to analyze the Chinese Empire?" ”
Fisher nodded, in order to study the naval power of the Chinese Empire, Fisher had been working hard to learn Chinese, so he could read the above directly without the need for a translator to translate.
"The chapter bureau said that the biggest difference between all-steel battleships and ironclad ships is in the weight distribution, and ironclad ships use wrought iron, which is much less dense than steel. So to resist a 305-mm armor-piercing projectile attack from a distance of 5,000 meters, wrought iron needs to be 320 mm thick. The steel plate only needs about 240 mm to block it, saving a lot of displacement and space. In this Sino-British naval battle, the capital ships of both sides were 12,000 tons, but the British ships were ironclad ships, and the Imperial Chinese battleships were all-steel battleships, with the same tonnage and the same guns. The use of all-steel would save a lot of weight and space, which could be used to increase the number of steam engines to increase speed, or conversely, to increase the number of armor and artillery, and the British Navy lost on this. ”
"Sure enough, it's an all-steel battleship, no wonder our ironclad ship will be completely blown up by the other party!"
"Just. The Chinese Empire was also too extravagant, and even built warships entirely of steel, and this battleship was estimated to be expensive, no wonder the Chinese Empire only built nine! ”
"And!" Fisher said: "Zhang Juza said that the battleships that the Chinese Empire started to build this time are also made of all-steel, just a simple enlarged version of the original Hsiungfeng-class battleships. ”
Cook was suspicious: "The Imperial Chinese Navy has always liked to keep a killer weapon, and our four war defeats have been a secret loss in this regard. ”
Fisher nodded, "I understand what you mean, but you can listen to what the chapter bureau has to say." ”
Zhang Juzuo said that the Chinese Empire will indeed have a new type of battleship under development, which will be used as a killer weapon for the Chinese Empire in the future. However, the problem facing the Chinese Empire now is that the number of warships is too small to even control the Pacific Ocean, and if it wants to enter the seas around the world, it must build a large number of warships. The Chinese Empire, on the other hand, lacked colonies and supply depots outside of Asia, so it had to rely on its own warships to carry more coal fuel. This is a reasonable explanation for the increase in the displacement of the Chinese Empire's battleships to 15,000 tons, which is a simple enlarged version of the Hsiungfeng-class battleships. ”
Cook nodded and said, "You have a lot of truth in saying that!" ”
At this time, Sauron said: "Before this, I sent someone to study this chapter bureau, and the professional comments he made were very true, so they can be used for reference. ”
Cook was still a little skeptical, and asked, "Does the Chinese Empire allow Zhang Juzao to leak information like this?" ”
Thor replied, "I've sent someone to investigate this, too!" The Chinese Empire is quite open and free to the people's speech, allowing the people to talk about current affairs, politics and the military, even if they criticize the government, as long as it is true, the Chinese Imperial Police will not care. I inquired about Zhang Juzuo, and the Chinese Imperial Military also prosecuted him, but in the end, the Chinese Imperial Court acquitted Zhang Juzuo. The reasons are simple, one is that citizens of the Chinese Empire have the right to freedom of speech, which should not be banned. The second is that even if Zhang Juzuo leaks military secrets, it is not his fault, and the responsibility should be the military of the Chinese Empire, who let them not protect their military secrets. ”
"I see!" Cook nodded, let down his guard, and exclaimed: "I can't imagine that the laws of the Chinese Empire are so fair, and the people will sue the government and the military, and the government will actually sentence its own government and military to lose the lawsuit, this is really eye-opening, but the judicial justice and freedom of public opinion in the Chinese Empire are more democratic and open than ours!" ”
Sauron said angrily: "Okay, don't complain, people's justice and democracy have nothing to do with you, what you have to do now is to immediately make a corresponding plan to deal with the expansion of the Chinese Imperial Navy around the world." ”
At the same time, in the backstage of the Military Intelligence Express column group in the capital of the Chinese Empire, Zhang Juzuo was drinking tea with a good friend.
"Lao Wang, what's wrong, have the British been fooled?" Zhang Juza asked with concern.
The man named Lao Wang smiled slightly and said, "What do you say? I can come to you for tea so leisurely just to tell you that the British are studying your article! ”
"That's good!" Zhang Juzao breathed a sigh of relief, and immediately relaxed, and said very proudly: "They should be fooled, I stole some work for them first, and then I will slowly mix them with parallel goods, and there is truth in the real and false, so that they are difficult to distinguish between the real and the false." ”。
"That's right, as long as the British are fooled by you, then you have done a great job. When the next war is won, you will probably be the first hero, and it is precisely because your strategic fool has confused the British that His Majesty the Emperor will definitely reward you heavily. ”
Zhang Juzao was suddenly overjoyed, and asked in a low voice: "Are we going to fight the British?" ”
"That's for sure! Although the British were defeated this time, they still controlled more than half of the world's seas and colonies. ”
"Okay, I see, dude, do you want to reveal some more insider information to me?" Zhang Juzao smiled. (To be continued.) )
