PS. Present today's update, by the way, pull a vote for the "starting point" 515 fan festival, everyone has 8 votes, and the vote will also give the starting point coin, kneel and beg everyone to support and appreciate!

In fact, the real reason why the officers and men of the navy asked to dock is that since the departure from Europe, the officers and men will enjoy the local food, beautiful women, and beautiful scenery every time they go to a port, and Natal's overly lax discipline requirements have allowed the officers and men to gain an inch, and they hope to taste the delicious and beautiful scenery everywhere through this expedition, and of course they will not let go of Myanmar, which is known as the "country of Buddha" - I heard that gold is everywhere here, and even the temples are built with gold!

In the eighties of the nineteenth century, the British began to colonize Burma, integrating village leaders into the colonial government to rule the Burmese countryside and adopting a divide-and-rule strategy over various places. Raw materials were developed, transportation and education were greatly improved, and efforts were made to develop waterways and railways, making Burma part of the British global colonial order.

The relatively gentle policy allowed the British to enjoy countless Burmese fragrant rice, and only a small number of Burmese ethnic groups secretly opposed British colonial rule, including monks who were dissatisfied with British education. The current leader of the Burmese Free Army, Yong Kyi Mi, was a big businessman and one of the locals who benefited from the British colonial rulers.

It's just that the Burma War of Independence completely broke the tacit understanding between the British and the locals, and the British army increased the plundering of the local area in order to raise materials to exterminate the Free Army, and the food became more and more ugly. Taxes increased for the locals, the number of levies increased, and most crucially, the British began to levy taxes on monks.

These measures ruined the prestige that the British had accumulated over decades, and were the main reason why Yongjimi's Free Army had been able to hold out until now after the withdrawal of Chinese troops.

However, these have nothing to do with the expeditionary fleet, and the officers and men are here to have fun, not to investigate the political ecology here. Admiral Natal was very assured of the safety of the fleet anchored in the open sea, which was still 108,000 miles away from the coastline of China, and the Chinese navy could not threaten the warships of the expeditionary fleet in either way. Moreover, there were ten torpedo boats cruising around the battleship's anchorage. In the event of danger, they will signal as soon as possible.

It is true that the Chinese Navy does not have the ability to threaten the warships in Yangon Harbor, and neither surface ships nor submarines can use it to attack the port. From Hainan in the far south to the sea off Myanmar, it was completely under the control of Western colonizers, and every water area and coastal port was controlled by Western countries.

However, the fact that the navy could not do it did not mean that the Chinese army had no other means, and Lu Liang could smell the smell of the expeditionary fleet underestimating the enemy thousands of miles away. Such an opportunity will never be missed.

Of course, traditional military methods are difficult to work, but there is still a Chinese army in Yangon, and it is not much of a problem to transport a team of special soldiers to lurk.

"The distance between the anchorage of the expeditionary fleet and the coast is about three miles, and we have to carry dozens of kilograms of explosives, and if we swim with our bare hands, we may not have the physical strength to return there." In the safe house provided by the Yangon branch of the Investigation Bureau, twenty-five sturdy men are discussing secretly, and there are some vigilant guards outside the house.

With the help of Yong Jimi, 25 members of the Chinese Navy's Sea Serpent Commando crossed the border from Yunnan and entered Burma and arrived in Yangon under the escort of Free Army soldiers. The Sea Serpent Commando was formed in early 1905. At the beginning of its formation, the goal of the Sea Serpent Commando was very clear, that is, to sneak attack enemy ports by secretly lurking. The operation in Yangon is exactly what the commandos are all about, and it is what they do best.

"The sea route is blocked, and the land route is too troublesome, otherwise we can use small submarines to dive in."

"Actual combat and training are always different, there are not so many conditions to choose from in actual combat, don't be picky, let's think about how to approach those battleships! Today I drooled as I watched those big chimneys drool. This time it was necessary to blow up at least four or more battleships of the expeditionary fleet. ”

"I have a solution, let's take a closer look." It was Chen Chi, the brainchild of the Sea Snake Squad, who spoke. In fact, everyone didn't plan to use their brains from the beginning, and the matter of finding a way has always been handed over to Chen Chi.

"Hurry up!" The teammates were unceremonious.

"During the day, I saw small Burmese sailboats going out to fish, departing from the small piers around the area, and going back and forth without being checked by the British. There is even a ship that approaches the battleship and sells fruits, cigarettes and other items to the sailors on the battleship, can we use those fishing boats to get close to the battleship? ”

The team members winked with wide eyes. The cute appearance is extremely incongruous with their iron-blooded temperament. Chen Chi sighed, expecting these pig teammates to think, it is better to hope that his instructor will have a heart attack.

"In the evening, we can get close to the ships with the help of a small ship that sells goods, such as hiding in the cargo hold of the small boat. Get 100 meters closer to the battleship and launch from a small boat to minimize the distance of swimming with your bare hands, and you can also bring more explosives. After launching from a hundred meters into the sea, we swam to our respective targets by diving according to the division of labor, and it was difficult for the sailors on the deck of the battleship to see us underwater in the visual conditions of the evening. However, the water offshore is relatively clear, and there is still a possibility of being discovered. ”

"Oooooooooo The team members had a clear expression, including the captain.

"Finding a local fishing boat can help the Investigation Bureau, aren't they close to the Free Army? It shouldn't be that hard! After finding the fishing boats, we also have to see how many team members can be carried in the cargo compartment of each fishing boat, and then divide the teams and their respective goals according to the carrying capacity. ”

"Oh, classmate Chen Chi, I don't think you should have shirked in the first place, it's most appropriate for you to be the captain! Otherwise, you will take over now, and I will never say anything! Captain Bai Xing patted his chest and said, and everyone laughed, as if to hide their embarrassment.

In fact, the captain is very level, and he also has the mind to make plans, but he is too lazy, or it may be that his performance gives the captain an excuse not to use his brain. Still, the plan was set.

What the sea serpents didn't know was that when they were planning to attack the ships of the expeditionary fleet, a great storm was also brewing in the city of Yangon, and this storm swept through the whole of Burma, catching the British by surprise and almost leading to the defeat of the battle against China.

The British Jimmy's Maple Bar in Yangon has been in poor business since the beginning of the Revolutionary War, and the fighting that lasted for nearly two years not only caused a large number of casualties, but also brought Myanmar's colonial economic system to the brink of collapse, and greatly affected rice exports. When the economy declines, there are fewer businessmen who come to do business and trade, and when there are fewer businessmen, fewer people come to bars to drink and talk about business. On the contrary, the Frenchman's hotel across the street from his bar was doing a thriving business, but in fact the hotel was just a cover for him, and Jimmy knew it was a chicken coop!

Countless British soldiers arrived in Burma to wipe out the Free Army, and at the same time set fire to a group of businessmen, who were dealing with the soldiers who had made a lot of money. The Frenchman's inn was well received for its excellent service to British officers. There were also many officers and soldiers who came to his bar, but they were quickly transferred to the front, so it was difficult for business to continue.

Just as Jimmy was considering whether to give up his business in Burma and look for opportunities in India to the west, Admiral Natal of the expeditionary fleet brought a turn for himself and not only brought a large number of customers, but also a lot of news reached Jimmy's ears through the mouths of customers. He knew that the expeditionary fleet was about to fight a decisive battle against the Chinese navy, and the probability of victory exceeded 99 percent, after which Britain would have a mysterious, rich, and a hundred times more than the Qing state, where countless riches awaited the British, "just bend down and pick up enough money to support ten mistresses!" These are the exact words of a drunken British officer.

You soldiers only know about brutal robbery, and you have no technical content at all. Jimmy secretly slandered in his heart, the so-called rich China refers to the technology, products and opportunities there, and after the British defeat the Chinese country, they will have the right to distribute most of the spoils. Therefore, I can go to China to get wealth at that time!

"Fart, I see that Myanmar is the real gold and wealth everywhere, look at what this is, polish your dog's eyes, take a serious look at what this is, Lao Tzu will never be a sailor again after returning to China, and return to his hometown to buy a large piece of land to raise sheep, and he will be a farmer from now on!" Another sailor, who was even more hilarious, suddenly pulled out an object the size of a wine glass from his arms, held the wine glass in the other hand, and showed it off loudly to the people around him.

The bar was a little dim, and those who were interested leaned forward, and suddenly their eyes widened and they could see clearly! See! It was a piece of gold the size of a wine glass, and it really was! Immediately someone asked about the origin of the drunken soldier's gold, and after several inquiries, a large number of people were missing from the bar.

"I'm afraid this won't work, because decades ago, the colonial government of Myanmar province signed an agreement with the local government not to interfere with the activities of the temple and not to plunder the property in the temple. You must know that the power of the monks in Myanmar is very large, and once they are completely angered, I am afraid that it will cause a big mess! "Jimmy knows what crazy sailors are going to do, but they don't know what the situation is going to be in Burma, and of course Jimmy knows that there is gold in those temples, but he just doesn't stretch out his hand, and he doesn't have any scruples!

[It's about to be 515, I hope to continue to hit the 515 red envelope list, and the red envelope rain will be able to give back to readers and promotional works on May 15. A piece is also love, and it must be better! (To be continued.) )
