Chapter Seventy-Six: Change of Plan
"In addition to the nickname, the imperial court and Britain signed the Sino-British Treaty of Guangdong, Britain will send troops to help the imperial court quell the rebellion, and the southern Wang Lin army is slowing down the attack." In a street in Shanghai, a newsboy stood on the street shouting with a stack of "Yulin West News" in his hand.
"In addition, Britain will send the Chinese fleet in the Far East, as well as 5,000 British soldiers and 20,000 Indian soldiers to help China put down the rebellion." On the same street in Shanghai, another newsboy shouted with a wad of Wenhui Xibao in his hand.
"Outside the official number, the army of Wang Lin in the south has been beaten by the imperial army, and it is currently retreating south." On the same street, a newsboy held a stack of "Daqing Guobao" that had just been urgently opened by the Qing political axe, and shouted out his throat, but he didn't see a few people come to buy it. This newspaper should not have appeared, but the Qing court seems to want to control some public opinion direction recently, and finally opened such a "Daqing National Daily" in Shanghai, but unfortunately the sales have not been very good.
"In addition to the nickname, Wang Lin of the south has stated that he will fight with Britain to the end, and the Hainan army has made all preparations for war with the British army, and vows to live and die with Dongguan and Zhuhai." This is the "Summer Times" funded by Hainer, a new super-rich British billionaire.
Since the boss behind the scenes is the new British super-rich Heiner, more British people like to read this newspaper, which is not to say that this newspaper is really good, this has existed as a gentleman's etiquette in the UK.
A short Chinese man walked up to each of the newsboys, bought a copy of all the newspapers, and then looked slightly panicked and went into a small alley, turned left and right, passed several paths, and finally got into a house. If it weren't for the hat he was wearing, I believe he would have been spotted long ago.
After returning to the apartment, the man went to the living room, took off his hat, and picked up several newspapers in his hand to read them one by one. He is Sun Wen, not long ago I heard from my friend in Guangdong that someone in the south had an incident, the progress was very fast, and there were tens of thousands of troops, I heard that it seemed to be the army of Hainan, the army that could eat the entire Beiyang Army, Sun Wen had long wanted to see it, but unfortunately he had never had the opportunity to meet Wang Lin.
Originally, after returning to Shanghai, Sun Wen began to contact the people in the organization, but just after contacting a small number of people, there was news that the British were going to intervene, and he originally planned to take advantage of the southern uprising to carry out several uprisings throughout the country, or to support the south, but after hearing this news, Sun Wen had to give up the original plan.
In the face of the imperial court, he Sun Wen still dared to make trouble, but in the face of the British behemoth, Sun Wen did not dare, now he has no intelligence agency, second, no source of funds, and third, there is no available armed force, so he can only stay in the house and read the news in the newspaper and so on.
Sun Wen slowly finished reading the newspaper he bought, and now he was holding the "Xia Hua Times" in his hand and reading it carefully, his intuition told him that this Haina was not simple, and Sun Wen always felt that there was something different about these things that his newspaper said, and it was not clear what the specific difference was.
"What do the two comrades think about this?" Sun Wen raised his head and looked at Huang Xing and Song Jiaoren who were sitting next to him.
"I think that Wang Lin is not a good thing, he is a guy who bullies the weak and is afraid of the hard, I don't think what the "Xia Hua Times" said is not accurate, I heard friends in Guangdong say that their troops have obviously shown signs of retreating to the south, and it is estimated that the withdrawal to Hainan will be a matter of the past two days." Song Jiaoren shook his head, put down the newspaper and muttered.
"Hey, it's a pity, it's a pity." Huang Xingda shook his head and said.
"Keqiang, what is a pity?" Sun Wen asked with some puzzlement.
"It's a pity that their army is so well equipped, but they plan to surrender without a fight, if you give me their equipment, then I can raise an army, and it is not a problem to overthrow the Manchu rule at all, how can I use the eastern hiding province like now." Huang Xing continued.
"Hey, this Englishman named Haina is really vicious, knowing that they are not the opponents of the British, but they clearly say in the newspaper that they are ready for all confrontations, so that their prestige will be increased in the hearts of the people, at least before the war, their reputation will be higher among some people than that of the imperial court, as for the defeat of the war, their prestige will plummet, and even be spitned upon, this Englishman is so vicious, he wants to break the backbone of my China, and interrupt the hope of our rich and strong country." Sun Wen sighed and said what he meant.
At this time, Wang Lin was sitting in his office in Hainan, looking at the "Xia Hua Times" published by Haina, as if Le's upper lip would never touch his lower lip. He had been laughing for more than ten minutes, and none of the secretaries and others next to him knew what Wang Lin was happy about.
Okay, let's tell the real thing, although my troops have withdrawn south, but that is to prevent the British from attacking from both sides, they are now allies with the Qing court, they can land anywhere on the southeast coast of China, and Wang Lin set up his troops in Shenzhen to attract British troops to come here, anyway, my army is here, whether you come or not is your business, if you come, the two of us will fight, if you don't come, I will fight directly to Hong Kong, anyway, I am a rebel in your eyes, You don't have to abide by any bullshit pact.
But it's a pity, the news that he has the Invincible Armada can't be said yet, and he can only let them know after the war, because after this battle, Wang Lin no longer plans to hide the Chinese ship, even if they don't find out, all the people on the warship are dead, Wang Lin has to let the warship go under the noses of the British, otherwise how can they drive them to build bigger battleships?
Only by bringing them into the trap of building larger battleships will Wang Lin have a chance to gain more time, so as to delay the time for Britain to take revenge until World War I, then World War II, and then decades later, when Britain will be nothing more than an ant in his own eyes.
At this time, Wang Lin's heart seemed to have seen that the great powers were burying their heads in building large-tonnage battleships, and Wang Lin seemed to see that they had finally built battleships, and had already built some battleships with all their might, and when they were about to come out to show off their might, they were beaten by their own aircraft carriers.
"Commander-in-Chief, the Hong Kong agent called and said that 5,000 British troops had landed in Hong Kong, and the remaining 20,000 Indian soldiers would all arrive in Hong Kong within a week." Yang Zhiping said with a telegram from Hong Kong in his hand.
Wang Lin nodded, Hong Kong is not close to India, there is no way to go by land, the terrain of Tibet Province is so high, the British will not be stupid to have a boat to come to China without sitting and walking, climbing mountains and wading through water, and the waterway must pass through the Strait of Malacca. Originally, Wang Lin also planned to directly send a fleet to ambush at the exit of the Strait of Malacca and directly sink the British troop carriers, but after thinking about it, he still felt that as a son and daughter of China, he should be a man and do things in a fair and upright manner, if he really did this, and defeated the British Far East Chinese fleet in the future, then they knew that their navy was okay at most.
As for the Army, let the Army solve it, and just let the Army boys train their hands with the British, and see what the results of the training over the years are, and whether they are worthy of so many years of hard work.
However, Wang Lin really hopes that both sides can easily win, because only in this way can we tell the British and every country in the world that we can win at sea and also on land, and in the sky, as long as you can fly, I can knock you down, and you will lose all the sea, land and air, what else can you play with me?
"Order Tang Zhiyun to make a detailed plan for attacking Hong Kong, once he meets with the British army, he will give me a hard beating, don't worry about bullets or anything, this time it is a foreign enemy, don't be too light, and tell him that the navy will help him and blockade the waters around Hong Kong, so that he will not be in a hurry, fight steadily, and at the same time let the commanders at all levels adapt to the combat experience of fighting with the armies of the great powers and the actual combat experience of the soldiers." Wang Lin said with a smile in his heart.
British, Wang Lin was very worried about seeing the British crying nose and staring expression, in terms of individual equipment, his own side is much better than them, the Chinese style he uses is made by the German 98k modification, this kind of gun was only available in Germany in the thirties of the twentieth century, and it has experienced the baptism of World War II, and the surname can naturally not be said. Say machine guns? The fire dragon equipped on his side is much better than the Makqin heavy machine gun equipped by the British, whether it is firepower or range, and it is still a small amount of equipment, and it is not as convenient as it is to move.
As for grenades, not to mention, one throw at a time, no one has seen the power of grenades, let alone what evasion moves to do, and even we still don't know what they are. Complete fortifications, even if they are very advanced, can they have advanced fortifications in the late twentieth century?
"Zhiping, let Deputy Commander Sa Zhenbing also prepare, let the Indian Ocean Fleet go to sea to ambush first, wait for the British fleet to be blocked behind, and the Pacific Fleet to stay in the harbor, and then set off when the British start to land. In addition, the 095 boat set sail at once to find news of the British fleet, and the 096 boat went to meet them four days later. "Wang Linjue should also go out for activities at this time, if you stay at home, the warship will rust.
British, don't let me down, Dongguan and Zhujiang are waiting to enter your arms, hurry up, I'll hand over the defense to you. Wang Lin thought obscenely in his heart.
