The confrontation at sea continues!

Reinforcements from the Japanese ship "Nisshin" and the battlecruiser "Kaigang", which had just completed refitting, arrived.

Three Japanese warships completed the encirclement of the Chinese Navy cruiser "Haiyu".

The "Hai Analysis" is one enemy and three enemies, and in terms of the tonnage and firepower of the "Sea Analysis", it is completely impossible to be the opponent of the three Japanese ships.

However, none of the officers and men of the Chinese Navy on the "Hai Analysis" were afraid.

In their eyes, to be able to die in their own sea is the glory of oneness and earthlessness!

"The Japanese ship issued an ultimatum and demanded that our ship withdraw to the sea area within 30 minutes, otherwise it will sink our ship!"

Fan Erin smiled faintly.

He didn't feel any fear, he didn't feel any fear...... Today's weather is so good, it would be perfect if you could grab a fishing rod and run to the Diaoyu Islands and fish for a day......

Lin Ransen strode over: "Report, the whole ship is fully prepared and ready to go into battle at any time!" ”

"Got it." Fan Elin replied simply, and suddenly asked: "Brother Lin, you always say that I am an old school, and I don't want to be the captain of a new battleship, but I am still obsessed with the old Haiyi, do you know why?" ”

Seeing that the war was imminent, the "Hai Analysis" was on the front line, but the captain asked such a strange question, Lin Ransen shook his head in confusion:

Fan Olin pondered: "At that time, it was still the Manchu era, and in 18QQ, Italy asked the Manchu government to lease Sanmen Bay.

The Qing government was taken aback, and after weighing the strength of both sides, it believed that Italy was only a second-class naval power. And the mountains and rivers are far away, and they have not received help from other countries, they still have the ability to compete with them, so they categorically refuse. At the same time, he told Liu Kunyi, the governor of Liangjiang, and ordered him to prepare. He also used Ye Zujia, Sa Zhenbing and other former admirals to prepare for war. The Italian side dispatched three warships to China's coastal cruises, and the incident was on the verge of breaking out. On 30 May, the Qing government ordered all Beiyang military ships to go to sea and patrol Changchuan. The next day, Italy announced that it was abandoning its claim to Sanmen Bay. However, Qing Zhenglu still did not dare to relax and ordered the coastal areas to strengthen precautions. On 20 November, the Qing government ordered Ye Zujia to lead the Beiyang ships south. The matter is nearing its end.

Looking at this incident as a whole, the Qing government held its own fleet strength in the territory of the Italian Far East Fleet, so it dared to take a tough attitude. A rare diplomatic victory. This is a de facto proof of the importance of the Navy in national defense......."

Lin Ransen nodded silently, and Fan Elin said again: "Not only that, ours, Haiyi, and the number is more in the limelight, know about the incident of protecting overseas Chinese in Mexico." ”

"Yes." Lin Ransen replied loudly.

In 1911, there was an outbreak in Mexico** and Díaz stepped down. The political situation in Mexico is in turmoil, and overseas Chinese have once again become victims of the turmoil, with more than 300 people killed and property losses as high as one million yuan, ranking first among Mexican expatriates in all countries.

At the same time, Cuba and other places have also set off an upsurge of wandering.

Shen Aisun, the charge d'affaires of the Qing Dynasty in Mexico, lodged negotiations with the Mexican political deer, demanding that the murderers be punished, that the families of the victims be compensated, that they try to protect overseas Chinese, and that they be given economic compensation.

Shen Aisun's claim came as a surprise to the Mexican government, 30 million Mexican silver teeth.

The "Haiyi," which was on a foreign visit, then sailed to Havana, the capital of Cuba, and was warmly welcomed by the overseas Chinese in Cuba. What touched the officers and men even more was that whenever they left the ship and landed, they met overseas Chinese, men, women, and children, all of them vied with each other to invite them to their homes, give them a warm welcome, and present them with souvenirs when they left the ship.

When receiving Cheng Biguang, the Cuban president said with sincerity: "The Cuban military and civilians will never discriminate against overseas Chinese. ”…,

On the Mexican side, the Mexican government saw that China's "army was pressing the border," and basically accepted the punishment, compensation, and compensation, and the two sides began to negotiate the amount of compensation.

This is the most beautiful and glorious historical soil of the Chinese Navy and the "Haiyi".

"This is our pride, so I chose to stay on the Haiyi." Fan Elin looked at Lin Ransen with a smile, smiled and said to his subordinates:

"I'll die on the Haiyi!"

"Understood, Captain!" Lin Ransen's answer was loud and firm.

At this moment, he no longer regarded the captain as a big man, he was the best naval officer worthy of his respect.

The time for the Japanese "ultimatum" is getting closer and closer.

"Raise the flag of the Republic of China, the flag of the Navy!" Fan Erlin's expression was solemn and authentic.

"Raise the flag of the Republic of China, the flag of the Navy!"

All the officers and men on the "Haiyi" gathered on the deck.

Two flags were raised slowly.

The officers and men raised their hands and saluted their dignity in front of the flag.

When the flag was raised, all the officers and soldiers had tears in their eyes......

In the sea areas occupied by Japan, although the "Haiqi, although small", has fallen behind, but it has resolutely consolidated the rights of the navy among the proud exercisers!

Fearless, fearless! "Captain!" Lin Ransen said loudly: "I'm very fortunate to be your subordinate, and I'm very happy to be a member of Haiyi!" ”

"Thank you!" Fan Erlin's voice was low, and he slowly looked at Lin Ransen and all the officers and soldiers: "It's easy for me to be with you, I'm proud to be with the Haiyi!" The sea will be our home! Long live the Republic of China! Long live the Chinese Navy! ”

"Long live the Republic of China! Long live the Chinese Navy! ”

The sea will be their home......

"Chunzi, No.

Looking at the five-color national flag of the Republic of China and the naval flag of the Republic of China raised on the opposite side, Bachihara muttered: "Trouble......"

"Your Excellency, there's nothing troublesome about it." Tadanobu Asano completely ignored what his captain meant: "The opposite side is nothing more than a backward cruiser, and we are perfectly capable of sinking it:"

Eight feet plain is the most slowly authentic; "Asano-kun, the trouble I'm talking about is not whether we can sink the Sea Analysis, but that they are already determined to die."

Tadanobu Asano didn't quite understand.

Yachihara sighed: "We mobilized the warship, just to threaten Hai Analysis, the ship to leave here, not really to sink it, once the sea analysis is sunk, it will inevitably cause a strong retaliation from the Chinese Navy, and then trigger a terrible all-out Sino-Japanese dispute."

Tadanobu Asano said arrogantly, "Even then, we have nothing to worry about."

"Baga!" Yachihara finally couldn't help but scold: "Are we the same as those crazy and stupid army?" The Emperor has lost too many interests in the Far East, and now the only thing we can rely on is our own country, Taiwan Bay, and Chao Xian, once a full-scale war starts, it will find an excuse for the government of the Zhinan, do you think the Emperor can win such a big war? No, the resources of the Imperial Kingdom are too small, and we must avoid war until the Imperial Kingdom is not fully prepared! ”

However, despite this, even he himself did not know how to make the Imperial Kingdom complete the "preparations......

China's government is getting stronger and stronger, but Japan's political fart is in an endless predicament.

The "Sea Analysis" is waiting, and so are Yachihara and his warship

"Haiyi" is waiting for the last moment! …,

The cannon has opened a huge mouth, and once the Japanese shells explode near the "Hai Yi", then the shells on the "Hai Yi" will not hesitate to fly towards the Japanese battleship!

There is nothing to beat, but knowing that it cannot be done, it is the last and most glorious choice of a soldier!

Fan Olin was also waiting calmly, and his mind kept ringing every sentence of the president's explanation when he personally gave him this secret task.

I won't tell anyone, only I and the president know what the purpose of the "Haiyi" is.

Time is slipping away minute by minute.

Lin Ransen hurried over with a telegram on his face: "Captain, my President, Haichou, and other three ships are approaching me at full speed, and they are expected to arrive in an hour." At the same time, I, the Northern Expedition, and other ships are also moving closer to the waters of the Diaoyu Island at full speed! ”

Van Olin took the telegram and let out a long sigh of relief.

When it came, I finally let myself wait......

"Your Excellency, Captain, a large number of warships are approaching our waters at full speed!"

This sound immediately stunned all the Japanese on the "Kasuga".

Did the Chinese really decide to fight here at all costs?

Yachihara was silent there, and after a long time, he suddenly said, "Evacuate!" ”

"What, retreat?"

Tadanobu Asano called out at once!

"Che retreat!" This fried Yachihara was very determined: "You must not start an all-out war with that person in the branch, you must not!" I'd rather let the Japanese call me cowardly and cowardly than avoid the terrible thing of all-out war! I must not allow Japan to be bogged down in war! ”

Tadanobu Asano shouted unwillingly, "But what if the responsibility is traced from above? ”

"Then I'll take it all by myself!" Yachihara sighed: "At least the war can't break out in my hands, in that case, I am the real Japanese sinner, and we will never be able to bear the ...... of a large-scale war."

Yachihara was still very calm and rational at this time, he expected the consequences of the outbreak of war once it started, and then, he almost gritted his teeth and said:

"Order all the battleships to retreat!". ）
