On the blue sea, a fleet of 7 battleships, 10 cruisers, 11 destroyers, 5 torpedo ships, and several auxiliary vessels was sailing.

This is a detachment of the Indian fleet of the British Empire, cruising from Calcutta to Singapore, because relations with the Chinese are becoming increasingly strained, so every time it cruises Malacca, the British fleet gathers a force strong enough to meet any challenge in case of war that may break out at any time.

The supreme commander of this detachment is Admiral Tegel, who is in the command room of the "Queen's Honor" at this time, issuing instructions to various ships, and the Strait of Malacca is in front of him, and he is also shouldering a secret mission to Singapore, the British Empire is ready to declare war on China, and may declare war on China at any time, according to reliable information, a Chinese troop transport fleet from the South Seas to South Africa will pass through Malacca in these days, and if this fleet can be intercepted, he has been ordered to open fire first, and the British Empire would officially declare war on China.

The British naval fleet advanced in 5 parallel columns, and in front, there were fast maneuvering reconnaissance ships to open the way, which was already completely wartime, and General Tagore was very cautious, since he could attack the Chinese fleet and provoke a war, the same Chinese could take the lead, and now if the Chinese and British navies meet, it is not surprising who will fire first.

The Queen's Honor is a heavy battleship with a displacement of 12,400 tons, and the new battleship, launched last year, uses composite armor, a high-power steam engine, and the Armstrong heavy gun can fire more than 10,000 meters in the case of a strong charge, and its terminal speed is still 360 meters per second.

The deterrent power of this heavy battleship was among the top three in the Royal Navy of the British Empire.

However, it all became history.

The war broke out suddenly, the reconnaissance ship at the front of the Indian fleet was sunk first, and a large number of Chinese warships suddenly appeared, although they simply read out the declaration of war against Britain issued by the Chinese emperor with a loudspeaker, of course, in fact, it was not the full text of the declaration of war is a simple two sentences, indicating that our emperor and the empire have declared war on you, but the next artillery attack is so fierce.

The Chinese fleet knew about the outbreak of war by radio before the British Navy, and in the Indian Ocean, a hundred nautical miles from the Strait of Malacca, a huge fleet of 10 battleships, 6 heavy cruisers, 11 light cruisers, 15 destroyers, and 24 torpedo ships carried out an unprecedented artillery bombardment of the Tegel fleet, because of the proximity to the Chinese naval base of Dayaki, which also allowed the Imperial Navy to support the operation with more torpedo boats.

The naval battle that broke out in the Indian Ocean with almost all the military strength of China's South Sea Fleet and nearly half of the British and Indian fleets was the largest naval battle in human history, with the total tonnage of warships invested by both sides exceeding 300,000 tons.

The battle lasted from morning to late at night, with the two sides chasing, fighting, and colliding in the Andaman Sea for the first time in the history of human naval warfare.

The tactics of the two sides were almost identical: using torpedo gunboats, that is, destroyers, to drive the other side's torpedo boats approaching their own capital ships, and bombarding the enemy's slower battleships with capital ships' heavy artillery, while cruisers focused on striking the enemy's destroyer torpedo boats, hoping to get close to the enemy's capital ships and deal a fatal blow.

It's just that the Chinese fleet is so efficient in changing formations, this is a battle of radio command against flag searchlights, no matter how well-trained the officers and crews of the British Imperial Navy are, the command system is always slower than the Chinese fleet, and the tonnage is completely inferior, so soon after the battle began, Tiger had already ordered his fleet to retreat. …,

Normally, a retreat in a naval battle represents the end of the battle, but the Chinese apparently did not think so, and the second battlecruiser squadron of their battleship squadron arrived from the northern seas to join the battle, and the British Navy could only pass through the formation of the Chinese squadron if it wanted to retreat quickly.

The sea soon became foggy, with clouds left behind by the roar of artillery and smoke from British destroyers to cover their movements.

When Tegel thought that his fleet would successfully get out of the battlefield, he realized that he was very wrong, in the white smoke the wolf pack of Chinese torpedo boats suddenly rushed into the range of British destroyer fire, one torpedo after another drew countless white lines on the sea, a suicide attack, two torpedo boats exploded and sank in the fire of the destroyers, but the battleship "Brave" was hit by two torpedoes, and the loud explosion sound in its hull foreshadowed its end.

Two torpedo ships against one battleship, 1000 tons of steel in exchange for 9000 tons of steel.

In the past 100 years, the world's first navy has never encountered a real challenge, nor has it fought a real war, looking at the sinking Chinese torpedo boat Tegel on the sea is a little confused, is the Oriental nation really aggressive? Every time it comes to life and death, the dangerous and terrifying potential in its bones will be revealed.

The attack by the torpedo boats also seriously delayed the deployment of the Tegel fleet to withdraw from the battlefield, and after the "Brave", the battleship "Giant" also rose black smoke from the fire of the rapid-fire guns of the Chinese battleships, and the battleship formations of the two sides were even intertwined on the sea surface in a radius of several hundred square kilometers, strangling and fighting.

As the setting sun cast a golden glow on the sea, the battle was nearing its end, and Admiral Tiger had to abandon the badly damaged HMS Queen's Honor and board a cruiser to evacuate the battlefield.

In fact, two hours later, the cruiser formation he was carrying passed by a detachment of Chinese battleships, and the British cruiser formation was moving at full speed and quickly disengaged.

In the Battle of the Andaman Sea, the British and Indian fleets lost 5 battleships, including the "Queen's Honor", 2 heavy cruisers, 9 destroyers and all 5 torpedo boats, with a total tonnage of more than 60,000 tons.

Because their destroyers and torpedo boats were inferior in speed to the Chinese destroyers, they were pursued by the Chinese destroyer formation when they withdrew from the battlefield, and suffered extremely heavy losses.

The Chinese South Sea Fleet sank 1 battleship, 2 cruisers, 3 destroyers, and 7 torpedo boats, with a total tonnage of less than 20,000.

When the war made headlines in the news newspapers around the world, China's friends and enemies were in very different moods, and although China was the first to go to war, the British navy was also prepared, and there was no doubt that the Chinese achieved brilliant results and shattered the myth of the invincibility of the British Imperial Navy.

In fact, on the same day, when the Chinese emperor issued a declaration of war against Britain spread throughout Eurasia, the whole world was already shocked, and the tragic collision of the most powerful empires of the East and the West may become a bloody chapter sung by many bards, but this war is like a war between the two gods of the East and the West to destroy the world, as long as the creatures living in Eurasia will almost inevitably be involved in this storm.

And there is nothing wrong with this fear.

On April 20, 1883, Russia declared war on Eastern Russia, and on the same day, China declared war on Russia.

On April 25, Austria-Hungary declared war on Russia, on the 26th, Britain declared war on Austria-Hungary in accordance with the Anglo-Russian military secret treaty, on the 27th, Germany invaded Belgium and declared war on Britain and France, and on May 1, declared war on Russia.

The war between the two major military blocs broke out suddenly in April and soon spread to every corner of the Eurasian continent. …,

Korea, Cambodia, Laos, Vietnam, and Gurkha were the first countries to declare war on Britain, France, and Russia, followed by Japan, then the Khiva Khanate, and the Bukhara Khanate, while Iran began to expel British, French, and Russian merchants.

The Chinese army invaded India from three directions, including the Green Ridge, South Tibet, and Burma, and at the beginning it encountered almost no decent resistance, and the Eastern Route Army gradually approached Calcutta, the most important British city in India.

Singapore was occupied by the Chinese army on the second day of the outbreak of the Battle of Amanda, and then Singapore declared its independence as an autonomous administrative region of Singapore and elected the House of Representatives and the Prime Minister of the government.

In this way, in the first two months of the war, the Allied bloc with China, Germany, and Austria-Hungary as the core was unstoppable, but gradually, bad news came one after another, and the situation began to reverse.

The bad news came from the fact that the Chinese Naval Fleet, the largest of China's three major fleets, suffered repeated setbacks in a contest with the British Pacific Fleet, and in mid-June the Chinese fleet's supply depot in Honolulu was destroyed by the British fleet, the Kingdom of Hawaii surrendered, and the gains of China's twenty years of operation in Honolulu were destroyed.

In Europe, the British and French fleets had complete control of the sea, the British Home Fleet had blockaded the North Sea, making the German navy an ornament, the French fleet was cruising the Mediterranean, and many Spanish coastal cities in the Central Powers were shelled or occupied, and Portugal, which had declared neutrality, could fall to the Allies at any time.

The British Mediterranean Fleet crossed the vast ocean to join the Indian fleet, and the situation of the Chinese South Sea Fleet became more and more difficult.

In the African Strait, the contest between the Chinese fleet and the British Atlantic Fleet is also not optimistic.

Obviously, even if the Chinese are slightly ahead in technology, the British Navy, which has a history of hundreds of years, is still superior to this emerging power, and the war since July has been sending this message to the world.

Buckingham Palace in the United Kingdom is magnificent.

"Cheers!"

For the first time in months, Queen Victoria smiled, her ivory face hidden in a high, upright lace collar, her spiral cloak studded with jewels and gold threads, and the 64-year-old was still graceful enough to quickly forget her age.

Standing under the throne and gently clinking glasses with the queen is British Prime Minister Gladstone, one of the most prominent prime ministers in British history, and the leader of the Conservative Party, Benjamin Brown. The political drama staged by Disraeli also made the empire full of vitality and vitality.

At this time, Prime Minister Gladstone also smiled, "Your Majesty, Lord Witte has arrived in Rome, and I believe he can convince the Italians to join us against the evil German-Austrian alliance." ”

The first good news was the Ottoman Empire's declaration of war on Bulgaria, which represented the official fall of the Turks to the Entente, and it was clear that the Turks hoped to regain their rule over the Balkans from the Entente's victory, and the next Iranian declaration of war on the Ottomans completely shattered the only little warmth between the Turks and the Chinese.

The queen and her courtiers discussed that Iran's declaration of war against the Ottomans had not been agreed by the Chinese in advance, that the Iranian king Nasadin was a man of great talent, that Iran had always been at odds with the Ottoman Turks, but was forced to provoke because of its lack of strength, and that the current declaration of war on the Turks was taking advantage of the chaos to make the Chinese have to accept such a result and side with him.

The good news comes from Myanmar, which has been silent during the war between the two blocs, has finally declared neutrality, withdrawn from the South-East Group of Nations, and will no longer allow the South-East coalition forces to pass through its borders. …,

Obviously, with the British Mediterranean Fleet and the Indian Fleet overwhelmingly superior to China's South Sea Fleet, Burma believed that only by breaking away from the Southeastern Alliance could it avoid the danger of national extinction.

In this way, the Chinese army's operations in India lost the Burmese supply line, which was almost fatal, and could even cause the Chinese to collapse without a fight.

If the Italians fell again to the Entente, they could already foresee the dawn of victory.

It's no wonder that both the Queen and the Prime Minister are smiling for the first time in months.

Queen Victoria gently shook her glass, the amber liquid shining brightly under the ornate chandelier. She looked to the east, pondering that the young monarch of the east, this young man, was the most dangerous she had encountered since she came to power

The dangerous man, oh, perhaps not to be called a lad, as if, too, was almost fifty years old, but he had the impression that he and his empire were always so vigorous, and at the same time, dangerous as a viper.

Is he forever dissatisfied with power? Conquered the East, and want to conquer the world? Sometimes, I really want to chat with him face-to-face, and when I think about it, the pursuit and possession of power makes him infinitely charming.

Room 2, on the top floor of the Empire State Building, is Ye Zhao's wartime headquarters, where the sound of telegrams and telephones rings from time to time, and the young officers and female operators who come in and out show the changes in the empire in the past 20 years.

Pacing beside the hanging maps, Ye Zhao thought about something.

Indeed, the contest with the British Empire put the Empire under unprecedented pressure, overseas trade stagnated, and bad news came frequently.

The Chinese Sea Fleet, the largest of the three major fleets, could have been able to overwhelmingly defeat the British Pacific Fleet and occupy Australia in the early operational blueprint of the empire

Attacking the British Navy on the Western Front, who knows, the British Navy is more difficult to deal with than imagined, and its Pacific Fleet commander, Admiral Lewinster, is as cunning as an old fox, and has caused the Chinese Navy Fleet to suffer losses in several naval battles

After the capture of Hawaii, one of his squadrons went to the West Coast of the United States to recuperate.

Twenty years ago, in the Anglo-French-Russian Crimean War, when Australia had just been developed, it was not yet a climate, and the British fleet fought against Russia, so it used the ports on the west coast of the Americans to replenish it.

The same is true today, and to a greater or lesser extent, the majority of Americans are sympathetic and supportive of the British.

The three major fleets are all facing their own problems, and the difficulties will continue in a short time.

To help the Navy get out of its predicament as soon as possible, it is necessary to pin hope on the Army.

Ye Zhao looked at the map again, and the current army theater is divided into three major battlefields, the Russian battlefield, the Indian battlefield and the South African battlefield.

In fact, after the Empire declared war on Britain, the British had already begun to withdraw their troops from South Africa, and the Empire and the Boers had entered the British Cape Overseas Province, and it was optimistically estimated that Cape Town could be conquered within a month, but if the navy was lost

With the loss of supply lines, these gains will be lost, because after the loss of supply lines, the strategic materials that have been hoarded in Maputo over the years will be exhausted sooner or later, and the resources of the overseas provinces of Maputo will not be enough to support the coalition forces for many years

The supply of the moon, not to mention weapons and ammunition.

The Russian front is the least troublesome, but it is also the most troublesome, because the Russian battlefield is the most tragic, the empire has gathered more than 500,000 troops in 10 group armies, plus the main army of Eastern Russia, a total of about 600,000 people to fight with Western Russia, although victorious, but also difficult, after all, this is not the Siberian battlefield of the year, but entered the Russian hinterland, facing the Russian people who are extremely hostile to the Chinese. …,

In the Indian battlefield, the empire attacked on three fronts, of which the main army was four group armies, supplemented by Tibetan forces, Gurkha, Vietnamese, Cambodian forces, etc., a total of 200,000 military forces entered India

However, the Imperial army was busy appeasing the Indian tribes and looking for an ally against the British, so the march was not very fast, and now it seems that this move is the right move, if it cannot win over some Indian natives for their own use, it will be lost

Once the supply line is over, the Imperial army will be in danger of going deep alone.

pondering, Ye Zhao said slowly: "The key point is still in India, this is the death hole of the British, and when it is pointed, it is like the legend of Xianxia, and the meridians of the British will never be connected." ”

Standing beside Ye Zhao, Zhao Sanbao bowed slightly, and was honest, once he conquered Calcutta and the port cities operated by the British in India, what if his British Mediterranean fleet came? Without these harbors, dockyards and supply points, the British would have no place in the Indian Ocean, and their huge fleet would not last if they relied solely on the isolated island of Ceylon (Sri Lanka).

Zhao Sanbao snorted coldly: "The Burmese are ungrateful, the emperor, it is afraid of provoking the British to lose the country, so I will send a telegram now and arrest his king." ”

Ye Zhao waved his hand slightly, although sending troops to Myanmar can be used as an excuse for his treachery, but after all, it is aggression, not to mention that even if the Burmese road is opened, there is no local Burmese who will do their best to help you, but to make trouble and destroy for you, it is not the best choice after all.

"I'll think about it again." Ye Zhao looked at the map again.

"And the Americans?" Zhao Sanbao's face was extremely gloomy when he mentioned the Americans.

Ye Zhao smiled and said: "The same root and the same species, no wonder they, aren't they protesting?" Strict wording is sufficient. ”

After a long break, many friends may have forgotten about the imperial military establishment, a brief introduction, the imperial army group army is roughly three divisions, about 50,000 people, of course, including cooking classes, health teams, transport troops and so on

The amount of power, but these auxiliary forces can also participate in battles, so they are different from the people, and they are counted as military forces, and the book does not list how many people, cattle and horses, vehicles, etc. have been requisitioned for the time being, which will be introduced later.
