Mediterranean, Command of Naval Base Cyprus. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

Admiral Li Weijun, commander of the Pacific Fleet of the Imperial Chinese Navy, and Vice Admiral Pang Jinguan, chief of staff of the fleet, and other admirals who had just arrived in Europe, were holding meetings with Hua Feng, the governor of Cyprus, Yuan Kai, the commander of the 33rd division of the Cyprus town guard, and other local officials to implement the instructions issued by Emperor Li Weiguo.

Major General Yuan Kai, who had just won the Battle of Port Said, was now highly valued by the military, and this time the Chinese Empire had a plan to attack the British Empire itself, and Yuan Shikai, as the highest military general in the Cyprus garrison, was qualified to know about this plan.

Yuan Shikai was very excited, he knew that his opportunity had come, but he still underestimated the ambition of Emperor Li Weiguo.

In Yuan Shikai's view, the Chinese Empire would inevitably intervene in the European theater, but it would definitely wait for either the Entente or the Central Powers to decide the outcome before acting. Now that the German Empire is on the offensive like a rainbow, and the situation of sweeping across the whole of Europe has become a foregone conclusion, the Chinese Empire will definitely regard the German Empire as its biggest enemy in the future, so Yuan Shikai has been preparing for the arrival of that day.

However, what Yuan Shikai never expected was that when the German Empire had not yet unified Europe and the Anglo-French Entente had not yet been finally defeated, His Majesty Li Weiguo, as the emperor of the Chinese Empire, had already begun to intervene in Europe and was ready to snatch the fruits of the victory of the German Empire.

Before the last war ended, Li Weiguo had already begun to plan the next war, and even shot directly, this kind of decisive decision made Yuan Shikai full of admiration for Li Weiguo in his heart, and felt that he was inferior to one in ten thousand.

No wonder he (Li Weiguo) was able to be the emperor, and I was only a little major general!

Yuan Shikai slipped away and didn't hear what Li Weijun and the others said, but when Li Weijun asked Yuan Shikai, he was instantly confused.

"General Yuan Kai, what do you think of this plan?"

Facing the powerful aura of General Li Weijun, Yuan Shikai felt an invisible majesty, which made people stutter instantly.

You must know that Li Weijun is a general, and he is definitely a big man in the entire military system of the Chinese Empire. What's more, Li Weijun is still the cousin of Emperor Li Weiguo, a first-class duke, and the core figure of the Chinese Imperial Navy, which is a giant figure who trembles in Wuhan, Great Kyoto.

In front of Li Weijun, he actually slipped away, this Nima went to the toilet with a lantern - pure rhythm of looking for death!

Yuan Shikai instantly soaked his back with cold sweat.

The governor of Cyprus next to him was also confused, but he didn't expect Yuan Shikai, who was usually decisive and shrewd, to drop the chain at a critical moment, if this made Li Weijun unhappy, then Yuan Shikai's career that had just improved would inevitably stop instantly.

Just when Li Weijun frowned, and the officials in Cyprus were feeling sorry and disappointed for Yuan Shikai, a sudden emergency telegram saved Yuan Shikai's life.

"Report! The military department is in an emergency! ”

The urgent telegram from the Ministry of War attracted the attention of Li Weijun, Pang Jinguan and others, ignoring Yuan Shikai for the time being, taking advantage of this song, the governor of Cyprus, Hua Feng, hurriedly reminded Yuan Shikai in a whisper, so that Yuan Shikai could prepare for remediation.

After all, Yuan Shikai is a hero, and his ability to adapt to changes is not covered, and he quickly has a way to deal with it.

When Li Weijun and the others read the emergency telegram from the Ministry of War, Yuan Shikai hurriedly said: "General Qiqi, the last general thinks ......"

Before Yuan Shikai could express himself, Li Weijun waved his hand to interrupt him and said: "I just received an urgent telegram from the Ministry of War, which is a crucial battle about the future pattern of Europe, and after this battle, the victory or defeat of Europe will be completely clear!" You're all about to participate in the Rainbow Initiative, so read this code! ”

After hearing Li Weijun's words, Hua Feng, Yuan Shikai, and other important Cypriot military and political officials immediately cheered up and circulated the telegram one after another, and then they all had wonderful expressions, some excited, some shocked, and some worried.

Li Weijun took in everyone's expressions and stayed on Yuan Shikai for two seconds.

To tell the truth, what kind of character Li Weijun is, he can see at a glance that Yuan Shikai just slipped away. It's just that Li Weijun still admires Yuan Shikai very much, and he can lead a town of troops to take the Port Said Fortress, which is not something that ordinary people can do.

"Yuan Kai, what do you think of this telegram?"

Yuan Shikai knew very well that this was Li Weijun giving him a chance to save, and deliberately interrupting him just now was a warning, which Yuan Shikai himself knew very well, so for this opportunity given to him by Li Weijun, Yuan Shikai worked very hard and almost drained his talent.

"Back to the general, the last general thinks that the Anglo-French combined fleet will be defeated on this trip, and their 100,000 tons of ammunition may be difficult to resist the Tsarist Empire!"

Li Weijun asked rhetorically: "How can you see it?" The number of capital ships of the Anglo-French combined fleet is almost twice that of the German High Seas Fleet, and in terms of combat experience, the British and French fleets have hundreds of years of rich experience, and although the Royal Navy of the British Empire has been defeated by us many times, it has learned a lot of key combat experience, while the German High Seas Fleet is a navy with no combat experience at all, how can they win? ”

Facing Li Weijun's questioning, Yuan Shikai smiled and said: "What the general said is very true! According to common sense, if the main force of the regular navy were to engage in a large-scale fleet decisive battle, the German High Seas Fleet would not be able to defeat the combined fleet of Britain and France in any case. But the problem is that the Anglo-French combined fleet is going to the Barents Sea this time to escort 100,000 tons of munitions. The German High Seas Fleet did not need to fight the combined Anglo-French fleet head-on, but only had to attack the transport fleet protected by the Anglo-French forces. Once the sneak attack is successful, the Tsarist army will not get the 100,000 tons of munitions, then the Tsarist Russian army will not be able to organize an offensive on the Eastern Front and cannot put pressure on the German army, then the Anglo-French alliance on the Western Front will inevitably be destroyed by the German army, the French Empire will fall, and there will be only one English island country left in Europe, and defeat will be a matter of time. ”

Yuan Shikai said sonorously, which surprised Li Weijun, and finally nodded with satisfaction.

"Not bad! I had already spoken to His Majesty about this before I came! His Majesty is wise and powerful, and thinks that the German High Seas Fleet will be defeated! ”

"Forehead ......"

Everyone's expressions froze instantly, and they all looked at Yuan Shikai and cast a compassionate gaze.

Everyone knows that Li Weiguo, the emperor of the Chinese Empire, was wise and martial, and his old man's judgment was never missed. And Yuan Shikai just swore that the German High Seas Fleet would win, which was a slap in the face for eating fruit!

Everyone was shaking their heads, even Yuan Shikai's father-in-law, Hua Feng, the governor of Cyprus, was sighing, feeling that his son-in-law was wrong this time, and his career would be over.

Yuan Shikai's face was flushed suddenly, he was very confident in his judgment, but no matter how confident he was, he couldn't match His Majesty Emperor Li Weiguo! Yuan Shikai's life growth is almost shrouded in Li Weiguo's aura, and he admires and admires Li Weiguo, and for a while, even Yuan Shikai suddenly became less confident in himself.

All this was seen by Li Weijun, and he especially liked Yuan Shikai's deflated expression, which made people feel refreshed.

"But!"

After Li Weijun saw that he had cheated everyone, he immediately smiled and continued: "But that was when the famous German Admiral Hudier served as the High Seas Fleet, and now the German High Seas Fleet has been replaced by Vice Admiral Tirpitz, Your Majesty asserts that the German High Seas Fleet will be victorious!" So Yuan Kai, your judgment is correct, and it coincides with Your Majesty! ”

Everyone is stunned again, this god turn, changing the hearts of ordinary people, will be tossed to the point of exploding!

Yuan Shikai even scolded Li Weijun in his heart, Nima was clearly deliberately scaring Lao Tzu and taking revenge on Lao Tzu for slipping away just now!

However, on the surface, Yuan Shikai didn't dare to offend the military boss in front of him, and hurriedly said modestly: "The last general speculates randomly, how dare he compare with His Majesty's wisdom and martial arts!" It's blind! ”

Li Weijun nodded and said, "Your Majesty's mind is rarely guessed, you can be right, this alone, you are already amazing!" ”

Nima, what do you mean by being remarkable? It's amazing, isn't it?

Yuan Shikai was 10,000 dissatisfied in his heart, like a wronged little daughter-in-law.

At this time, the Governor of Cyprus, Hua Feng, said bluntly: "Admiral, since the victory of the German High Seas Fleet has been decided, what should we do next?" ”

Li Weijun said: "This time in the decisive battle in the Barents Sea, whether the Anglo-French combined fleet wins or the German high seas fleet wins, our only goal will not change, that is, to attack the British Empire itself!" ”

Everyone's eyes lit up.

Yes, no matter which side wins, the Chinese Empire will attack the British Isles, and this plan will not change.

It's just that if the German High Seas Fleet is defeated, then the Imperial Chinese Navy can attack the British Empire itself under the banner of justice to help the Allies, and the German Empire will not be able to say anything at that time. Otherwise, if the German Imperial Navy wins, then the Chinese Empire's attack on the British Empire itself is to rob the German Empire's peaches, which will cause a strong backlash from the German Empire and may cause a split in the alliance.

Now the prediction is that the German Empire will win, so it means that there is a possibility of conflict between the Chinese Empire and the German Empire.

For this, the governor of Cyprus, Hua Feng, is very nervous, because once China and Germany fight, Cyprus will bear the brunt, and whether it can hold on to its own one-third of an acre of land is still a question.

But for Yuan Shikai, he is not willing to stay in a small place like Cyprus for the rest of his life, and he hopes to play on a broader stage for himself.

"The last general asks to bring thirty-three towns as the vanguard of the empire, and if London is not broken, he will not give up!"

Yuan Shikai took the initiative to ask, Li Weijun smiled slightly, and immediately agreed: "You can capture Port Said in a short time, and many people in the military think you are lucky, so let them see how you captured London in a short time!" The sooner the British surrendered, the more powerful they were to the Empire, and you know what was at stake? ”

"The last general will know, if you don't succeed, you will become benevolent!"

Yuan Shikai gritted his teeth and made a military order.

Li Weijun said solemnly: "It must be successful!" Even if you die, you have to plant the dragon flag on Buckingham Palace! ”

"Yes! Death also has to plant the dragon flag on Buckingham Palace! Yuan Shikai snapped and saluted.

Li Weijun nodded and said, "Very good!" That's what you want! Now I command! ”

Hula, everyone stood up at the same time, waiting for their own orders.

Yuan Shikai got his wish and got the task of the vanguard officer, and he would lead all the officers and soldiers of the thirty-three towns, as well as the other two towns of marines that Li Weijun supplemented him.

Yuan Shikai was temporarily promoted to the commander of the First Army of the European Dispatch Army, with 33 towns under his headquarters, the third town of the Marine Corps, and the ninth town of the Marine Corps.

The Pacific Fleet of the Imperial Chinese Navy will be responsible for smashing all the obstacles to London and smashing all the way down the River Thames to the city of London.

And Yuan Shikai will become the first batch of troops to rush to the beach and land in battle, fighting to the death with the British army in London.

The reason why Li Weijun used Yuan Shikai was that he took a fancy to Yuan Shikai's command ability, and also took a fancy to the ability of the 33 towns to attack fortifications, and he was definitely a strong army.

Of course, the Chinese Imperial Marine Corps is not weak and has been on the battlefield for a long time. But after all, it was an away game, and Yuan Shikai and his 33 towns had been stationed in Europe and were fighting at home, so this arrangement was made.

Of course, everything has to be done by strength.

Yuan Shikai can fight, and Thirty-three Towns can fight, but there are many generals in the Shence Army of the Chinese Empire who can fight tough battles, and there are many armies that can fight tough battles.

What is the meaning of the first and the second, more than a dozen marines under the Pacific Fleet of the Chinese Imperial Navy are all gearing up to compete with Yuan Shikai's 33 towns, so Li Weijun's arrangement is very knowledgeable, and it directly detonates the competitiveness of the third and ninth towns of the Marine Corps directly under the Pacific Fleet.

Isn't the last thirty-three towns awesome?

Well, as long as our Marines 3rd and 9th Towns defeat Thirty-Three Towns and are more heroic than them, then it will be clear who is the best!

Similarly, the officers and soldiers of the 33rd Town were also excited to receive this combat mission, and they wanted to make new contributions and work hard in the direction of the first town of the ace of the Chinese Empire's Shence Army.

With this mood, the navy and army of the Chinese Empire all moved.

At the same time, naturally, the help of the Air Force is indispensable.

However, taking off from a Cyprus airport, even if the range of the F16 fighter is enough, the pilot can't stand it, and the physical strength is not good.

Fortunately, the Imperial Chinese Navy's first converted aircraft carrier, the Haiqi, will arrive in the North Sea in the coming days, just in time to launch an offensive with the Pacific Fleet.

The Haiqi travels through the Panama Canal, and its tonnage and draft meet the standards of the Panama Canal, while the Pacific Fleet cannot pass through the Panama Canal because the draft of the capital ships is too deep, so it can only go through the Suez Canal.

Of course, Li Weijun didn't pay much attention to the Haiqi aircraft carrier, there were only a few dozen fighters on it, and it was probably difficult to play a role in the face of thousands of fighters on the British Empire.

But something is better than nothing, at least it can be used as a reconnaissance aircraft.

As for how to face the fighter attack on the British Empire's homeland, Li Weijun was very confident, because the Chinese Imperial Navy had already quietly completed the modernization of air defense, and the entire fleet, from the super dreadnought battleships to the destroyers, had air defense capabilities, so the Pacific Fleet dared to directly attack the Thames.

Of course, there is one more important reason, that is, the British fighters only have machine guns and no zha shells, and no matter how awesome the machine guns are, the warships are not afraid.

Just when Li Weijun commanded the Chinese Imperial Navy and Army to slaughter the British London, the navies of Britain, France and Russia, which were far away in the Barents Sea, finally started fighting. (To be continued.) )
