Chapter Eighty-Six: Blitzkrieg

The first negotiation with the British ended in failure, and the British felt that Wang Lin's conditions were really unacceptable, and the British lease in Hong Kong expired, which undoubtedly cut off Britain's wings in East Asia, and their negotiating team had no intention of returning Hong Kong to Wang Lin, although the negotiating team had hundreds of people, but it included many shipyard mechanics and admirals, and the main purpose of coming here this time was also to see if what Philmant said was true.

If such perverted battleships really appeared in this world, then they should have appeared in the fleets of the British Empire, and not in the navy of any country except the British Empire.

The failure of the negotiations seems to be expected by Wang Lin, after the failure, Wang Lin on the contrary felt a little surprised, the British are rigid, stubbornly guarding their own world boss and refuse to bow their heads, let alone the current international status and Wang Lin, who is hundreds of times lower than their own peace negotiations, but Wang Lin is not a soft goods, before coming to Hainan, he has already deployed a military attack, the purpose is to put pressure on the British at the negotiation table.

What's more, Wang Lin still understands the truth that a weak country has no diplomacy, and he also understands that the British don't really want to come to Hong Kong to negotiate with him, but that Britain is currently unable to send a naval fleet to the Far East to carry out tasks in a short period of time, and the British army is trapped in the Boer battlefield, and the Boer War, which was originally bigger and smoother, suddenly deteriorated within a year.

King Edward VII, who has just been in power for a year, is currently difficult to explain in the country, originally promised a good war, but now it is dragged there, the Germans on the opposite side seem to see the opportunity, is already ready to move, and the Far East is not peaceful, Wang Lin's Hainan army is like a bamboo, the British army is all the way to the enemy, whether it is the navy or the army, the British Empire casualties on the battlefield have been hidden in the country, for fear that once the real number of casualties will cause a coup d'état or a popular d'état.

Wang Lin has no interest in continuing to stay in Hong Kong and fight with the British aristocracy, Britain currently has no important military strength in the Far East, as for India's little strength, as long as Wang Lin is willing, he can collect it at any time, but Wang Lin's focus at the current stage is at home, not to compete with the great powers.

After returning to Hainan that night, Wang Lin handed Zhang Tian a notice of admission to the National Defense University and asked him to report on it the next day. It is true that the German ambassador was waiting for him in Hainan, and the German ambassador was indeed in Hainan, but Wang Lin invited them to come, and the Germans also heard some things that happened in the Far East some time ago, and what the Germans have always hated is that the German Navy has been being crushed by the British Navy, and if it can get the kind of warships that appear on the battlefield in the Far East, I believe that Germany will be able to change the current status quo.

"Let Deng Shichang start!" Coming to the staff office of the military department, Wang Lin looked at the staff officers who were busy and said slowly.

"Yes!" Peng Huai, deputy chief of staff of the military department, replied with a salute.

After giving the order, Wang Lin left the General Staff, because what happened after that was not something he should worry about at all, with the strength of the Indian Ocean Fleet, it was more than enough to send a brigade of troops over, not to mention the army troops, advanced combat concepts, sophisticated equipment, and the brigade drawn from the Western Front was originally an elite brigade, and it was absolutely no problem to defeat the British defenders there.

"Congratulations master, your troops have completely occupied Guangxi, and the system will automatically enter the 24-hour review period, if there is no land loss and large-scale civil unrest, the system will be automatically upgraded to level 3." The voice of Beidou No. 1 suddenly appeared in Wang Lin's mind.

Wang Lin nodded, he didn't expect that the intelligence of the Red Police Base was quite accurate, and he already knew about it before he received the battle report on his side, could it be that there were spies in the army? As for these, Wang Lin didn't think much about it, anyway, the Red Police Base would not harm him, Wang Lin knew, and now Wang Lin already had a quasi-third-level license, and he could be promoted to a third-level base after only twenty-four hours, and at that time, as long as the replication center and nuclear weapons were established, Wang Lin's unification of the whole country would only be a matter of time.

The next morning, Wang Lin had a conversation with the German ambassador, and after a morning-long conversation, Wang Lin and the German ambassador reached a common consciousness, and after a short rest, they would enter into a formal conversation. After receiving permission from the Kaiser, in a conversation between Wang Lin and the German ambassador in the afternoon of the same day, the German ambassador implored Wang Lin to accept Germany's order, and Wang Lin readily and directly agreed to the request to build three Chinese ships for the German Navy. In the end, it was sold for 15 million pounds per Chinese ship.

Just when the Germans tightened their belts and prepared to make up the money, Wang Lin told the Germans the news that they wanted to hear the most, because the two Chinese warships ordered by the Hainan Navy had been under construction in Hainan for nearly a year, and they could be launched for sea trials in about half a year, in view of the embarrassing situation of the German Navy, Wang Lin decided to deliver the two Chinese warships ordered by the Hainan Navy to Germany for use first, and the other ship would be delivered for use in a year and a half.

Wang Lin already has two large shipyards in Hainan, the earliest of which has only two 10,000-ton docks, and the one that has just been completed has five 40,000-ton docks, and this shipyard has now become the largest shipyard in the world.

At the end of the conversation, the German ambassador readily accepted Wang Lin's invitation to have dinner together, and at the same time, in addition to constantly praising the Chinese food, the German ambassador praised the sincerity of the Chinese towards their friends, and very vaguely told Wang Lin that if he could overthrow the Qing Dynasty and establish his own dynasty, Germany would recognize the dynasty established by Wang Lin as soon as possible and establish diplomatic relations.

In the face of the Germans' successive hydrangeas, Wang Lin didn't know the Germans' minds, they had been isolated in Europe, if they still couldn't find a reliable ally in Asia, in the event of a war, they would face tremendous pressure, if they could find a strong ally in Asia, even if this ally would not personally help themselves, then it was because of its existence that it would also contain part of the enemy's troops, so that the German [***] team would reduce a certain pressure.

But this is to be honest, Germany was interested in the Qing Dynasty before, in order to make a good impression of the Qing Dynasty on the Germans, the Germans did the least number of evil in the Qing Dynasty among several powers, although they wanted to occupy Qingdao several times before, but in the end they had to give up this idea for various reasons, this reason is of course because of Wang Lin's relationship.

Back in the morning, at the intersection of the South China Sea and Malacca, the Indian Ocean Fleet had already crossed the border, and the fleet had entered the Strait of Malacca with troop transports, and their target was the Malay Peninsula.

It is an overseas colony of the United Kingdom, because it is located in the Strait of Malacca, so the British attach great importance to this colony, which is not only related to the face of Britain as the world boss, but also to the question of whether Britain can quickly enter Asia. There are naturally a lot of shore artillery on land on both sides of the strait, and it does not seem to be so backward, the Malay Peninsula is about 1,127 kilometers long from north to south, and 322 kilometers wide at its widest point. However, in view of the fact that there is only one brigade of troops in the army, Deng Shichang discussed with Tang Minglang, the commander of the army unit, and finally decided to use the latest tactical combination learned at the National Defense University, the combination of army blitzkrieg and naval blitzkrieg.

This brand-new combined method of warfare is actually not very new, after all, the instructor has already told them that this kind of tactics can be used in conjunction with each other, the army can cooperate with the navy, and naturally it can be used in conjunction with the air force, as well as with different arms and the same arms.

Eventually, the army landed at Batu Bahat, followed by the former navy, and the army was responsible for guiding the ship artillery to destroy the enemy's shore artillery defenses, and then the army quickly entered the battlefield to clear the battle, so as to quickly control the entire Strait of Malacca. The naval guns of the Chinese ships have a range of up to 29 kilometers, and the coastal defense guns deployed by the British army here are not to mention whether they can see the Chinese ships, and even if they can see them, they will be seen by the army units first, and then guide the naval guns to destroy them.

Ten days later, the Strait of Malacca welcomed the first transport ship after the Chinese occupied the Strait of Malacca, loaded with a brigade of combat soldiers and corresponding artillery units and a regiment of engineers, as well as hundreds of 155 improved coastal defense guns deployed here, equipped with the latest high-explosive shells, hundreds of cannons were placed horizontally on the edge of the Strait of Malacca, so that every ship passing by could be clearly seen, and they could easily sink it.

As for their own safety, they don't have to worry about their own safety, the engineer brothers have already built permanent fortifications here, even if they are found by naval guns, they may not be able to hit them, unless they can hit directly, even such small tonnage naval guns will not play any role in this kind of fortification, at most they will leave a little trace on the reinforced concrete.

At this time, the British were really anxious, they didn't expect that they rejected Wang Lin's conditions more than ten days ago, and ten days later they occupied the Strait of Malacca, and the Hainan Army directly cut off the telegraph line there when attacking Malacca.

ps: There will still be three more tomorrow, and you will continue to give your strength.
