Chapter 333: The Decisive Battle of the Ocean II
readx;
After the climax of the first wave of declaration of war, the climax of the second wave of declaration of war was mostly some African, Indian, North American vassal countries or colonial countries, the actual significance of this declaration of war is not great, India was involved in the scope of the war because of the dispute between Britain and the Chinese Empire, it can be said that the Indian people are very innocent! Because the British were shelled as dogs, when the warships of the Chinese Empire roamed and shelled all the ports of India, the whole India fell into a panic, and some of the British, who were very resentful of the Chinese Empire, finally realized that their Royal Navy was not omnipotent, and the Chinese Empire was not the political axe that could sign a treaty with a few ships before.

This country with a strong smell of iron and blood is the best at using the same way that European civilized countries deal with Africa to deal with European countries, so it is called the barbaric Oriental, the barbaric butcher Lin Haijiang!
The declaration of war by the Chinese Empire means that the war that broke out from Europe has spread to Asia, and the rest of the British subjects or colonial countries that declared war afterwards are too far away from the two main battlefields of the war, which is nothing more than a telegram situation, even in the Ottoman Empire in the warring cluster, that is, fighting and drumming and slipping, the only real big fights in the Central Powers are the German Empire, the Chinese Empire and the Austro-Hungarian Empire, of which the Chinese Empire is the largest, and the battlefield is spread over most of the world.
In fact, just when the whole world thought that the Chinese Empire was desperate for military force, Lin Haijiang, who had already arrived in Beihai, stood in front of the newly made imperial territory map and pondered quietly, and within two years, the Imperial Statistics Office had changed the territory of the empire six times, and almost one of the territories was included after the SS purge, and then added forced immigrants, how big is the empire now? Lin Haijiang has only one generalization, because his historical knowledge tells him that even a country as powerful as the Mongol Empire will collapse one day.
Therefore, for the long-term peace and stability of the Chinese Empire, Lin Haijiang adopted a far more radical means than the later German fascists who slaughtered the Jews, and implemented the population clean-up plan in Southeast Asia, the Indochina Peninsula, the Ceylon Peninsula, and the Far East, and the SS developed from the original five divisions to the twenty-two divisions. Use the Chekov New Russian Liberation Army to involve the main forces of the Russian army, let the Russians kill and kill themselves, and ensure the security of Germany's eastern front.
What worries Lin Haijiang even more is the Indian Ocean, although Zhanyang as a commander lacks that kind of iron-blooded means, but its strategic and tactical performance has always been remarkable, if the main force of the imperial navy can defeat the naval fleet of the Entente at a small cost, then Lin Haijiang's next step is to directly wave Australia, Australia into the bag, and on land through Afghanistan to the Middle East, controlling the Middle East is equivalent to grasping the lifeblood of the future world, The Chinese Empire can exist in the world as a great power that plays a pivotal role in the world pattern, and be the world's military police, preferring to bully others rather than be bullied, this is Lin Haijiang's so-called logic!
The most debated among later scholars is how many wars did Lin Haijiang instigate during the 50 years he ruled the Chinese Empire? How many people were slaughtered? The Reich SS, as a sacred power conferred by the Constitution of the Chinese Empire, can use extreme methods to maintain the unity of the Reich at the time of necessity, and no one can involve the territorial integrity of the Reich under any pretext, and the territory of the Reich is not to be discussed and there is no dispute! Discussing territorial disputes with the Chinese Empire is tantamount to declaring war!
In many cases, there is no need for any excuses, and there are many excuses for human warfare, such as energy, territory, lies, etc., just like this almost sweeping global war, the excuse is only some trivial things left over from the so-called Franco-Prussian War, but what is hidden behind it is the need of the newly rising empire to demand the redivision of the colonies from the old colonial empires.
As long as there is strife and interests in this world, there will be wars! Lin Haijiang's eyes slowly turned from the North Sea to the direction of the Indian Ocean, and Lin Haijiang had promised Chekov that even if the New Russian People's Liberation Army could not capture Moscow, the Chinese Empire would support Chekov to establish a state in Siberia.
Gommst was a British Royal Admiral from a civilian family, succeeding his father at the age of sixteen as the foredeck midshipman of the Valiant, and rose step by step from gunner to foredeck commander, boatswain, fourth officer, third officer, second officer, first officer, captain, deputy commander of the squadron, commander of the squadron, deputy commander of the Mediterranean Fleet of the Royal Navy, commander, commander of the first detachment of the Home Fleet, general staff of the Admiralty, second chief of the Admiralty, deputy secretary of the Admiralty, Gommst spent 54 years creating a miracle in the history of the British Royal Navy, from a sailor to an admiral of the British Royal Navy, which is also unprecedented in the history of the British Royal Navy.
It took Gomst thirty-six years to climb to the position of deputy commander of the Royal Navy's Mediterranean Fleet, with only one rank of major general, and he lost one eye and three fingers in a hundred battles, compared to James Murray, who became an admiral of the Royal Navy at the age of forty-three. The career of William and Admiral Gommst can be described as a miracle accompanied by ups and downs.
Admiral Gomst stood on the bridge of the Empress Victoria, looking around at the Chief of Staff of the Fleet, Pitroul, who had been on his behalf, and that no Allies except Britain should send a captain with the highest rank of colonel, and that he should have unified command.
Empress Victoria personally gave Admiral Gomsted repeated consultations, and finally persuaded all countries to put the command in the hands of Admiral Gommst, and Admiral Gommst was also scolded for being a one-eyed dragon behind his back, in fact, Admiral Gommst learned from the experience of the first two confrontations with the Chinese Empire, and due to the poor command system The command naming could not be effectively implemented, so this battle naturally could not be fought!
The meaty Gomsted is not a likable guy in his own right, and with the fact that he is a one-eyed dragon with one eye, his sharp gaze will make many people feel uncomfortable, and Gomsted has been planning all the way to deal with the possible surprise attack of the Chinese Imperial fleet after arriving in India.
In Gomster's view, the Chinese Empire occupies the Ceylon Peninsula, and Mumbai is precisely within the combat radius of the Chinese Imperial Fleet, and the Entente fleet can choose the most favorable port is only the port of Mumbai, except for the port of Mumbai, the only one that can supply such a large-scale fleet in the East is the Imperial Fortress of the Chinese Empire or the Haikou Military Port, obviously the latter two are impossible to supply the Entente fleet, even if the Entente fleet can defeat the main force of the Chinese Imperial Fleet, They also lacked sufficient troops to land and occupy these fort complexes that had been carefully built by the Chinese Empire.
The Chinese Empire is not an easy opponent to deal with, especially the head of the empire, Lin Haijiang, is a particularly difficult guy, Gomsst once went to the Royal Naval Academy in Dartmouth to check Lin Haijiang's grades and files that year, in Gomsster's opinion, this is an ordinary student who can't be an ordinary student, he can't see any special from Lin Haijiang's grades? And the instructors of that year were rarely impressed by Lin Haijiang.
Only former Principal Mistron. George's daughter, Anna. George has some special memories of Lin Haijiang, Anna. Lin Haijiang in George's mouth is silent, but he is often always a blockbuster, his mind is clear, calm and flexible, he likes to think alone, he has no excessive life vices, and he is a standard gentleman.
For Anna. George's description of Gomsted would not agree with Anna. George's gentleman caused the British Empire to suffer heavy casualties and lose face, and slaughtered tens of millions of aborigines in the East. George ignored it at all, believing that this was a slander against Lin Haijiang.
Gommst actually couldn't understand what Lin Haijiang was doing, the British Empire's colonial method was to fight against a group of disobedient people, and then try to squeeze the labor force of the aborigines as much as possible to create wealth and minerals for them to plunder, if they killed all the people, then who would create the value of the colony? The colony inevitably loses its meaning of existence.
It can be said that Gomsted and Lin Haijiang are not people of the same era, so many views in the subconscious are different, what the British Empire needs is immediate vested interests, while what Lin Haijiang needs is the inherent land of the Chinese Empire that belongs to the Chinese Empire for thousands of years, how can we truly eliminate the local division, reading power, and resistance forces? The only way is to kill them all, and let the new immigrants of the Chinese Empire become the masters of this land once and for all.
On August 17, 1869, the Allied fleet commanded by Gomsted arrived at the open sea of the port of Mumbai, but looking at the burning fire and rubble of the port of Mumbai, Gommst put down the telescope a little helplessly, he knew that his renovation plan might be put on hold, and the current situation of the port of Mumbai, the supply of the fleet has become a problem, Gomsted's current situation is that the parts and ammunition needed for the fleet that arrived in Mumbai before are safe and sound.
Gomsted immediately sent Rear Admiral Philby to enter the harbor ashore on the light cruiser Earl Lauren, to get in touch with Sir Lawrence, the Governor of India, and the light cruiser Earl Lauren had just sailed into the harbor waterway, when a huge muffled sound was suddenly accompanied by a column of water hundreds of meters high, and the light cruiser of the Earl Lauren, which had been blown to pieces on the starboard side, sank into the harbor channel in the blink of an eye.
