Chapter 303: Two Bastards

Governor Elied. Baron Schell's eyes widened and he looked at the brand-new bronze round with an extremely unbelievable gaze for a moment. Baron Scheer naturally knew that it was a new version of the Chinese Empire's bronze circle, which was commonly known as a big son?

Governor Elied. Baron Schell excitedly said, "Damn it! The Southern Cross has only been polished for a few days? How did the Chinese Empire find out? These damn robbers want to buy a priceless treasure for a copper dollar? Tell them that they bandits will not succeed, even if he flattens Colombo! ”

The staff on the side was a little embarrassed and said: "Lin Haijiang has three ladies, this bronze circle needs two sets of precious stones and ornaments in addition to the Southern Cross, they said that they were looted by British pirates on the way here, so they want to assist the Imperial Royal Navy in suppressing bandits nearby!" They had three Marine brigades and two SS brigades that could land at any time to assist in suppressing the bandits. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info”

Governor Elied. Baron Schell looked at Ryder in amazement, who was holding the telescope with trembling hands. Lieutenant General Blair, including Ryder. Almost everyone, including Blair, had never seen such a clumsy lie, or that the other party was too lazy to make any excuses, but what really scared everyone was the strength of the three Marine Corps brigades, because because the rise of the Chinese Empire was very concerned at the beginning, so most people knew that the brigade-level establishment of the Chinese Imperial Marine Corps was about 5,000 fighters per brigade, 15,000 well-equipped and bloodthirsty marines, plus two brigades of SS soldiers who crawled out of hell?

Almost everyone present could feel a sense of suffocation coming from the Chinese Empire's SS, this group of devils in black clothes, the British in India could be said to be doing their best to support the Indochina Peninsula, they hoped that the Indochina Peninsula would not fall into the hands of the Chinese Empire so quickly, and the result that the Indochina Peninsula fell far faster than they expected, and the main reason was because of the existence of such a special surname armed force of the Chinese Empire's SS, An army that aims at slaughter, while notorious, can also send chills down the shoulders of all enemies and those who resist.

Generally speaking, oppression can only lead to resistance, and massacres can provoke greater and more fierce resistance! However, if the scale, speed, and scope of the massacre exceed the final scope of the so-called resisters, that is, the mass murder of exterminators, the resistance will lose the social environment in which they can hide, and thus lead to complete defeat, and in the face of the SS of the Chinese Empire, the definition of the European dialectical thinking philosophy will be completely revised.

Governor Elied. Baron Schell hesitated for a while and finally made up his mind, and said hoarsely: "Give it to them, give them all, let all our ships in the harbor go to them to replenish fuel and fresh water, let them leave early, it's really damned!" ”

Governor Elied, who has been enjoying the oppression and plundering of the local natives. Baron Schell finally tasted what power is at this moment, what is cannon diplomacy, the trade of the British Empire has always been a kind of predatory trade with cannons to open the door of the other party, but all this is still dressed in the cloak of so-called trade, while the Chinese Empire is naked plunder, there is no trade at all, its behavior is basically even equivalent to piracy, the weak British Royal Navy Indian fleet is only a branch of the Far East Fleet, since the loss of Southeast Asia and Hong Kong, The anchorage of the British Far East Fleet was also moved to India, but in the face of the aggressive Chinese Empire's huge naval fleet, even Ryder. Blair's royal admiral, who regarded honor as his life, could not arouse the courage to fight.

The gap between the two sides is just too big, Ryder. Blair wondered if the head of the Chinese Empire was the same as Tang Zhiqiang, the commander of the Indian Ocean Fleet of the Chinese Empire stationed in Yangon. Do you like to take all your belongings around the world? Ignoring the worries, stresses, and feelings of your peers? The only difference is that Tang Ziqiang commanded basically twenty-two warships with an average displacement of about 5,000 tons, while Lin Haijun led a fleet with an average displacement of nearly 10,000 tons and a larger scale. Lieutenant General Blair seems to be two out-and-out bastards!

When the Southern Cross and nearly a thousand gems were taken by the Governor of Ceylon, Elied. After Baron Schell was sent to the battleship Huben, even Minister of the Navy Li Haibo, who usually had no reaction to the jewels at all, had red eyes! The sparkling gemstones of all colors are polished into a variety of shapes, especially one of the Southern Cross emeralds, which is the size of an egg? It is cold and cold in the hand, and it shines a dazzling color through the sunlight.

Maybe women are inherently unable to resist the temptation of gemstones, since these gems were extorted by Lin Haijiang in the name of his wife, they were naturally divided by the three ladies, looking at the gems that were divided by the ladies, Lin Haijiang turned to Li Haibo and asked: "Minister Li, how much can those gems be worth?" ”

Li Haibo, who had no concept of gemstones, thought for a while and said: "That Southern Cross emerald should be considered a priceless treasure, and the price of the rest of the gems is not easy to estimate, but it shouldn't be a problem to sell them to build two Zhenyuan-class, right?" ”

"Ahh As soon as Lin Haijiang heard that the gems divided by the three ladies were enough to build two Zhenyuan-class battleships, he immediately moved his mind, thinking that he could get the gems from the hands of the three ladies?

Li Haibo stood aside and coughed helplessly and reminded: "Führer, if such a large number of gems enter the market circulation, then the price of gems in the market is bound to be reduced a lot, and I still recommend that you consult a professional person specifically about the price of gemstones." ”

Lin Haijiang understood that Li Haibo meant to remind him in disguise not to fight the idea of those gems, since it had been divided, it was as if he had never owned it! Thinking of this, Lin Haijiang painfully compared a pair of shiny stones that could not be eaten or drunk with two Zhenyuan-class battleships.

After Lin Haijiang cleaned up his mood, he took out the chart and was pondering the next target, Tang Ziqiang, who had returned from going out to suppress bandits, learned that the head of state actually led the main force of the imperial navy to cruise the Indian Ocean for a live exercise, and naturally he would not let go of such a great opportunity, because none of the eight battleships in service in the empire is in service in the Indian Ocean Fleet, as the two main fleets of the empire, the Pacific Fleet is equipped with all the latest warships, and the Indian Ocean Fleet can only choose among the ships it reloads. After that, it was sold by the Imperial Ministry of Commerce and Trade.

The Indian Ocean Fleet is facing heavy maintenance tasks and heavy combat missions for ships to suppress bandits, but Tang Ziqiang also understands that the Pacific Fleet is the main battlefield for future imperial hegemony, and the Indian Ocean Fleet is used to maintain the smooth sea traffic between the empire and the Indochina Peninsula, and is in two different positions of the imperial naval strategy, so Tang Ziqiang has no luxury, he only wants two Nanling-class battle cruisers under construction, because once a naval battle breaks out in the Indian Ocean waters, the main enemy of the imperial Indian Ocean Fleet is the British Royal Indian Fleet, The main force of the British Royal Navy is also composed of armored protection cruisers, so Tang Ziqiang wants to put on a few battle cruisers to strengthen the comprehensive strength of the Imperial Indian Ocean Fleet, in case of war, the Imperial Indian Ocean Fleet should be able to constitute an absolute advantage over the British Royal Navy Indian Fleet.

This advantage will be both strategic and tactical, so Tang Ziqiang personally led nine main armored protection cruisers to immediately set off to join the main fleet of the empire.

On the way, Tang Ziqiang naturally would not let go of the British along the way, and it was another negotiation with power and no justice, after Tang Zhiqiang heard what the previous Führer had done, he was even more emboldened to blackmail, and in Colombo, Ceylon, he blocked the port of the British and demanded ship repair costs and transit subsidies, on the grounds that the Chinese Imperial Fleet had been carrying out a large-scale operation to eliminate pirates in the Indian Ocean, and the British must also pay enough sincerity as the beneficiary of it.

Governor of Ceylon, Elied. When Baron Schell heard that Tang Ziqiang, the commander of the Indian Ocean Fleet of the Chinese Empire, had blocked the harbor channel with a warship, he immediately fainted. Vice Admiral Blair lit his pipe very indifferently, and looked at the Chinese Imperial warship blocking the channel in the direction of the port with interest. What is Lieutenant General Blair thinking!

Lin Haijun led the main fleet of the empire to carry out a 30-day comprehensive exercise in the Indian Ocean under the guidance of Tang Ziqiang's Indian Ocean fleet, and the subjects even included the island landing operation that made the British tremble, and the purpose and intention of Lin Haijiang's large-scale military training were very obvious, that is, to prepare to use the Indian Ocean as a battlefield at a certain time and fight with the British, so Lin Haijiang took the main fleet of the empire to make a goodwill visit to various coastal ports in India, because Lin Haijiang came with his wife. So the British can't find an excuse to be angry, and even if there is an excuse, Lin Haijiang believes that with the gentlemanly attitude of the British, they can endure it.

The British, who had always regarded naval artillery diplomacy as the basic principle of the British Empire's diplomacy, behaved unusually calmly when confronted with naval artillery diplomacy, and the ports along the way met all kinds of rude demands of the Chinese Imperial fleet, without giving the Chinese Empire any reason or excuse to cause trouble.

After Lin Haijiang's pressure on the whole of India, the main fleet of the Chinese Empire returned from Yangon Port to the Imperial Fortress, the first anchorage of the Pacific Fleet, from Yangon Port on December 6, 1865, while Lin Haijiang returned to Guangzhou Port on the battleships Huben and Huwei for final refit and commissioning after sea trials.

Lin Haijiang knew that his pressure on the Indian side would inevitably trigger an all-out and even crazy backlash from the British! And it is this madness of losing his mind that he needs!
