In the past three years, the squadron has made great progress in various undertakings, especially military strength, because Luo Yang knows that it is right to be beaten if you are backward, and it is more true that you must be beaten if you don't want to beat people, this era is the jungle era, the age of beasts, only fists can solve the problem, a person in society, can ensure security because of the civilization of society, but in terms of national relations, it can only be a confrontation balance of military strength,

Britain and France will not sit idly by and watch China's rapid development and growth, and if China wants to recover to the Han and Tang dynasties, it must also press these two robbers into the water to graze, and this war is inevitable.

After a simple mobilization, the squadron advanced into Annam from both land and water, in response to the provocations of Britain and France.

Many generals have concerns about sending troops directly to Annan, Zeng Guoquan, Zhang Suimou, Zuo Zongtang, are very worried, thinking that Britain and France must have used some tricks, Luo Yang smiled: "You are strong, you are strong, the breeze blows the hills." ”

Just this casual sentence caused everyone to fight fiercely, everyone didn't expect that Luo Yang's light words would have a profound truth, and everyone was convinced,

After all the arrangements, Luo Yang personally led the army to set off, in March, Annam proposed assistance to the Chinese government, in April, the northern Hanoi area of Annam is still there, the rest of the place, most of the fall into the British and French sphere of influence, in May, the first army troops rushed to Zhennan Pass, led by Luo Yang all the way, divided the troops Zeng Guoquan, Lan Dashun, three ways to advance to Hanoi, at the same time, the Chinese fleet is also righteous and strict, set off with great force, to the Gulf of Tonkin

This is an unprecedented contest that will determine not only the question of the survival of a small country in Annam, but also the question of hegemonism in the world.

On May 11, the largest real naval battle in the history of the Far East broke out.

In the previous battle of the Yangtze River Estuary, the British fleet was forced to China's doorstep, China used the naval fleet as a bait, land-based artillery interception, torpedo boat attack, mine interception, comprehensive means finally defeated the invincible British army, but that was not a naval decisive battle in the real sense, today, China's naval fleet finally out of the division,

Except for a small number of ships in the base and protecting the Tianjin and Shanghai strips, almost all of China's warships have arrived, including fourteen battleships, fifteen heavy cruisers, and twenty light cruisers, so to speak, no less than the fleet of the Anglo-French forces.

Overall, China's navy is still a yellow navy, not a blue navy in the ocean, because, China's navy is still only one-third of that of Britain and sixty percent of France, and if these two countries collude, it will be even more remarkable, if it weren't for China's intelligence network is also very powerful, knowing that this time the enemy fleet is not much, and it will not go to the battlefield so calmly, although the overall technology of China's shipbuilding industry has gone up, but the ability to build is not enough, and the ability to build the latest warships is still poor, the battleships that came this time, Almost seven percent of the fleet of the Chinese Navy, especially battleships,

In the Gulf of Tonkin the Gulf of Tonkin made a detour from the Qiongzhou Strait and approached the middle of the bay, which is a bay surrounded by the land of Hainan Island, the Leizhou Peninsula, the Guangxi region of China, the coastal strip, and the part of Vietnam.

At eight o'clock in the morning, the Chinese fleet discovered the shadow of the enemy fleet, and soon, the British and French combined fleets also discovered the Chinese fleet, two large fleet groups, and quickly concentrated on each other.

Fourteen battleships and thirty-seven cruisers are the entire main battle force of the Anglo-French combined fleet, while the fourteen battleships and thirty-five cruisers in the middle of the world, such a huge force confrontation, under normal circumstances, is inseparable.

The British commander, Admiral Baker, was obviously taken aback, he could not imagine that the Chinese warships could be concentrated so much at once, the two armies gradually approached, and at a distance of three thousand meters, the battleships in the front began to shoot, which was a test and a correction of their own observations,

At a distance of two thousand trees, the two armies began a fierce battle, the heavens and the earth were shaken, the sea was surging, countless shells rose into the air in the smoke of gunpowder, and flew towards the enemy, and soon, the dense shells exploded countless water columns near the opponent's fleet, and some warships were also shot, and the explosion was heartbreaking,

This bombardment battle was completely a collision of cannons and giant ships, and the fierce battle lasted for twenty minutes, five warships on each side were damaged, a light cruiser of China was sunk, and Admiral Baker, the commander-in-chief of the combined British and French fleet, was wounded.

The Chinese admiral who commanded this naval battle was Peng Yulin, who was calm and brave enough to fight, so that China's rapidly growing naval fleet could compete with the world's two leading naval powers.

After another ten minutes of fighting, Peng Yulin was wounded, and a British battleship was basically destroyed under the bombardment of medium and heavy artillery.

There is no superiority or inferiority in strategy and tactics between the two sides, and the officers and men of the Chinese Navy have been trained for several years and have strong tactical skills.

At this time, Admiral Baker, the wounded commander of the Combined Fleet, looked at the south from afar, and his mood was actually very comfortable, even the shrapnel on his head did not care.

There must be something strange,

Of course, in a short time, in the vast sea, there was a new fleet of warships, which came quickly,

Not bad, this is a fleet ambushed by the combined Anglo-French fleet, with eight battleships, twenty heavy cruisers, among which, the commander's flagship, the largest battleship has 20,000 tons, this is a super giant,

There are also two battleships, both of which are on the scale of fifteen thousand tons, so to speak, as soon as these three battleships appear in front, they are three minotaurs, rampage, who dares to fight,

As soon as they saw the battleship in ambush, the officers and men of the British and French forces shouted happily, and the cheers were comparable to the sound of artillery and the sound of the sea.

Of course, such a large fleet, how could the Chinese not know that immediately, there was also a fleet that emerged from the white sea on the flank of the Chinese fleet,

The two armies are facing each other, and there is a reserve fleet, which is normal,

The British and French fleets were slightly worried when they saw that the Chinese warships also had reinforcements, but looking at the huge messy platforms, there was hardly a single cannon, and they immediately cheered, "Hahaha, the new fleet of the Chinese is the big white ship." ”

After waiting for more than 20 minutes, the new fleets of Britain and France joined the battle group, and eight huge battleships, like eight fierce and vicious monsters, bombarded the Chinese fleet with great momentum.

The British and French forces felt that they had won,

The giant battleship was jointly built by the two countries, with advanced technology, and a huge cannon was installed, the caliber was so large that it scared people to death, twelve inches, such a cannon could hit any one, and the average cruiser light one could be scrapped,
