Sure enough, the reconnaissance team stayed in this warehouse all night and no one came. In the early morning of the next day after spending the night safely, a team member found a transport ship coming in from the window of the warehouse, Lu Mao took the high-powered binoculars in his hand, and looked carefully for a while, a total of ten transport ships drove in, this should be the ship transporting treasures. Only one such fleet has come in since yesterday, and there were no transport ships in the harbor, which explains the purpose of those ships.

Seymour stood by the window of a building near the port, and when he saw the transport ship docking, he smiled at Samuel, the captain of the transport fleet beside him, and said: "This cargo is worth a lot of money, I will send you three warships to escort it, and there will be personnel from the British Empire when passing through Hong Kong, Singapore, Mumbai and other ports along the way, but the transport personnel must not stay too long on the shore until they can relax after returning to London." The fleet had been divided into countries, and when they arrived in London, they headed for each of the belligerent countries. The ships of the United States and Japan were organized by themselves. ”

"Your Excellency, I have served the Imperial Admiralty for many years, and I have transported many important supplies, including gold, silver, weapons, etc., and I will definitely make these goods foolproof. But how valuable can this cargo be? Do you need three battleships to escort you? ”

"Must, not only that, but when we arrive in Singapore, we will be escorted by two other ships of the Far East Fleet. Captain Samuel, the proceeds of this war, excluding the indemnities that must have existed afterwards, have exceeded the Empire's gains in India for five years, as well as a large part of the incalculable number of precious artifacts, so caution must be taken. ”

"Report to the general, the goods will be moved, and it is expected to be completed at three o'clock in the afternoon." When a soldier came to report, Seymour nodded, turned to Samuel and said, "Let your sailors hurry up and resupply, and set off as soon as they are done!" Seeing that Seymour was no longer talking, Samuel bowed slightly and turned away. Seymour's eyes were a little confused, after this time, he would lay a hundred years of foundation for his family, and the empire would also benefit from this war for a hundred years, and all thanks to the empire's dominance on the earth, warships and colonies all over the world, but unfortunately Germany would also benefit a lot from it, which would make their national strength stronger. In Europe, Germany has already shown aggressiveness, in South Africa, Germany supports the Boers against the Reich's armies, and is also looking for markets all over the world, it seems that there will be a war between the Reich and Germany!

Samuel stood in front of the transport ship and scratched his head, in order to get the cargo back to Europe in the shortest possible time, the coalition forces had to urgently mobilize a number of transport ships from the Far Eastern trading houses. But these transport ships are relatively backward steam sailing ships, although the technology is mature, the transport volume is not small, but the riding environment is really not good, sailors are not willing to use this kind of ship, they would rather use pure sail transport ships! Many shipping companies in many Western countries have purchased many pure steam engine ships, and only companies in the Far East still use such transport ships of the last century. Of course, there are also transport ships that accompany the Navy warships to transport soldiers, but they all need to transport soldiers back and cannot carry the mission of transporting goods.

During the urgent shipment of laborers, a whistle was heard in the harbor, and the three warships of the coalition fleet in charge of escorting the ship were ready to dock, replenish them, and then set off with the transport. At the beginning, more than 30 warships of the coalition forces participated in the battle against the Dagukou Fort, and later warships from various navies came to China to provide support, this time sending a British armored cruiser, a destroyer, and a German protective cruiser.

"Power generation, coalition forces are loading goods, the transport ship is a steam galleon, the shipment is expected to be completed in three hours, the departure time is uncertain. In addition, three coalition warships entered the port, two cruisers, and one destroyer, the purpose of which was unknown, most likely as escort warships! Lu Mao said to the team member in charge of power generation while observing, this time it's not good, the coalition forces actually sent three powerful warships to escort the escort, and the matter is in trouble.

Finally received the first telegram from the reconnaissance team, looking at the telegram, Lu Liang did not fluctuate much. It makes sense for the coalition to send escort warships, but the problem is that they only have one battleship, the Nanhai, and they need to defeat the coalition escort warships and capture those transports intact, which requires careful planning.

Three hours later, the second telegram reached Lüliang, and the coalition transport fleet left the port! "Send a telegram to Lu Hai immediately to inform the situation of the transport fleet, and now it will be up to Lu Hai to see if he can complete the task." Lu Liang immediately said to Lu Min that this interception not only sent the Nanhai, but also two mining vehicles on the bottom of the sea to carry out the mission.

After Lu Zon sent Lu Mao the military equipment of the Japanese army, he immediately went to the secret landing site near the port, and they boarded two submarine mining vehicles and waited for them, and received a telegram from Lu Mao a day later.

"Let's get to the harbor, and we'll keep up with that convoy!" Lu Zon said, Lu Mao's task is over, and it is their turn to exert their power! The mission of these two submarine mining vehicles is to follow the convoy of transport ships on the seabed in order to keep track of the fleet's whereabouts at all times. The maximum speed of the submarine mining vehicle can reach 50 knots, and given the complex terrain of the seabed, it can also reach an average speed of 25 knots, making it easy to keep up with a fleet of transport ships with speeds of less than 15 knots.

The Nanhai battleship, where Lu Hai was located, had already passed through the Taiwan Strait, and they were going to set up an ambush battlefield here, luring the three escort warships away, and then the special combat personnel who stayed in the seabed mining vehicles took the opportunity to capture the transport ships. The warships, Huizhou, Tianjin, and the bottom of the sea were closely connected by telegram, and an earth-shattering conspiracy finally began to operate.

Standing at the bow of the armored cruiser Annoa, the Allied Navy Deputy Commander James Bruce was in high spirits, and the naval sortie was not unexpected, and there was no fierce fighting, the Manchu navy had been completely lost in the battle with the Japanese a few years earlier, and the Dagukou battery was easily captured. I got a lot of wealth and cultural relics in Tianjin, and this time I was ordered to escort this batch of goods back to China, even if I didn't serve in the army, I could live the rest of my life richly. He looked back at the 203 mm guns on the battleship, and his heart welled up with the heroism of being invincible in the world.

Bruce, who was expressing his feelings towards the sea, suddenly interrupted his thoughts by a battleship that caught his eye: the German Navy armored cruiser Swallow, whose main guns and armor were not inferior to their own battleships. In a short period of time, the Central European power rose rapidly, and Bismarck miraculously raised Germany to a terrifying height that could even threaten the hegemony of the British Empire. Their emperor was desperately expanding his navy and army, which was intolerable to the British, and there could never be a powerful power on the European continent that could threaten the British. Since the Battle of Trafalgar, Britain has not met an opponent. Germany will be defeated like Napoleon's France.

"General, our speed is too slow, those steam galleons have slowed down the fleet, and I am afraid that we will be adrift at sea for more than ten days before we reach Hong Kong!" Captain Fort of the armored cruiser Annoah said to Bruce.

"My captain, don't be so anxious, we have enough supplies to leave Tianjin for less than a day. Imagine the welcome and the belongings we received when we returned to London, and you should be satisfied. ”

"Your Excellency, that's why I'm anxious, and I'm afraid that Mrs. Luther, who is in London, won't wait for that day to fall into the arms of someone else. You know, it's hard for us sailors to have a stable mistress. "Captain Forde was in a good mood and was joking with Bruce.

Bruce laughed a few times and said, "Captain Forde, when you return to London, there are countless noble ladies waiting to throw you into the news, as long as you take out a pearl necklace obtained in the Far East and shake it in front of their eyes, all problems will be solved!" ”
