The vast South China Sea is thousands of miles blue, and on the sea, several hundred kilometers from the mainland, many warships are surrounded by a group.

The Chinese Navy, in order to defend its maritime frontier, gave the order to ram enemy ships, and finally forced the Royal Navy of the British Empire, the world's largest maritime power, to make the decision to leave. However, seven warships of China and Britain sank in the collision incident, one warship of the Chinese side was seriously damaged, the flagship of the British detachment, the "William," was slightly injured in the final collision, and although the relative losses of the Chinese "Zhenhaihao" were relatively serious, they were all damaged on the side armor, and maintenance was not a problem.

However, this large-scale "shipwreck" incident still caused a large number of casualties, with more than 300 officers and men killed or missing on the spot of the British Royal Navy, more than 200 wounded, and the losses of the Chinese side also amounted to about 70 percent of those of the British side. The decisive collision of the warship, the loss is no less than the naval battle, this is a real white-knuckle battle at sea.

The sea was in shambles, and after the collision, both China and Britain released lifeboats to rescue the officers and men who had fallen into the water, and oil pollution and the wreckage of warships could be seen everywhere. The incident has been clearly energized to the world, and for this reason, both China and Britain have handled the aftermath in a "friendly" manner.

"Thank you very much for your help!" Miller shook Sa Zhenbing's hand, and he was sincerely grateful. The previous confrontation was a contest between the two armies, and after the incident was resolved, the Chinese Navy's lifeboats also assisted the British in rescuing the sailors who had fallen into the water.

Sa Zhenbing smiled: "You're welcome, we are allies." It's just that I remind your army that you must carefully study the nautical charts before going to sea to avoid similar incidents. ”

Miller was bitter in his heart, and he naturally knew that the Chinese side was reminding them not to violate China's territorial waters again, otherwise this kind of thing would continue to happen. smiled at the moment and said, "I will convey your reminder, but I'm afraid that I will be transferred back to China soon." After a pause, he said, "Your Excellency, before leaving, I hope to meet the captain of the 'Zhenhai'. ”

Sa Zhenbing groaned slightly, and quickly said, "There is no problem." ”

Soon, Sa Shijun took a traffic boat to the flagship "Jiangxi", although the collision did not collide violently and devastatingly, but it still made him be thrown out, his forehead and body were bandaged in a few places, but he still looked upright.

Sa Shijun saw that Miller was also injured, one of Miller's hands was hanging from his neck with a bandage, and there were also several abrasions on his face, which was obviously not good. Sa Shijun first reported to Sa Zhenbing and Lin Jianzhang, the commander of the South China Sea Fleet, and after learning about the incident, he said to Miller: "I am Sa Shijun, the captain of the 'Zhenhai' ship, Lieutenant Commander of the Republic of China Navy. ”

Miller laughed, "It's an honor to meet you, you're wonderful." As he spoke, he looked at Sa Zhenbing and Lin Jianzhang and said, "Can I talk to the lieutenant colonel alone?" ”

Sa Zhenbing smiled and said, "Of course." We also happen to have something to deal with. Soon he and Lin Jianzhang and other officers left, and the place where they would meet was naturally not the command cabin, especially the "Jiangxi" pocket battleship had some secret high-tech equipment, which was not wanted to be exposed.

Miller looked at Sa Shijun and smiled: "I didn't expect you to become the captain of the ship at such a young age, let alone that in order to prevent our detachment from going north, you would actually choose to ram the warship." I wonder, have you ever thought about the consequences that have caused you now? ”

Sa Shijun said lightly: "I also want to ask the general, when your fleet 'invades' our territorial waters, do you think of this kind of consequence?" ”

Miller smiled bitterly, "No." I never imagined that the Royal Navy of the British Empire would encounter such a situation in the Far East. "The situation in the Far East is changing too fast, at least he and even the entire Western world have not adapted to this change, who would have thought that China in the Far East would dare to provoke and resist the Royal Navy of the British Empire, which has been invincible in the world for hundreds of years?

Sa Shijun said stiffly: "There is no one in your eyes to pay the price." Our Chinese Navy has the ability and strength to defend the country's sovereign interests. ”

Miller said, "But your navy is too small. ”

Sa Shijun also knew that the Chinese navy was still small, and even if it salvaged and repaired Japan's two battle cruisers, the Kirishima and the Hiei, they were nothing compared to a naval power like Britain. His face sank and said, "But we can annihilate the Japanese Navy, which has the third largest navy in the world. I think this kind of achievement is no less than the British Navy's achievement in annihilating the Spanish 'Invincible Armada'. ”

Miller's face became solemn, in the Sino-Japanese War, the Chinese Navy annihilated the main force of the Japanese Navy with almost ten times its own strength on a weak scale, and the shock to the world naval community was simply incomparable, and since then, no country's navy dares to despise the combat effectiveness of the Chinese Navy, including the Royal Navy of the British Empire. However, Sa Shijun compared this naval battle with the British Navy's defeat of the Spanish 'Invincible Armada', which already had an insinuation.

How did the British Navy rise? It is because of the naval battle that year, after defeating the Spanish Armada, Britain has since become the world's maritime hegemon, and has since been across the ocean for more than 300 years. Does the Chinese Navy want to replace it? This made Miller's heart feel a wave of trepidation. He knows very well that even if the Royal Navy of the British Empire is much better than the Japanese Navy, even if he uses all his strength, it is definitely not possible to annihilate the Japanese Navy in one or two battles, just like the Battle of Jutland, in a decisive battle of dozens of hours, how many warships were sunk on both sides? Even less than half of the main forces of the Japanese Navy were lost, and that was achieved at a time when the capital ships of the British were almost twice as large as the German Navy. But what about the Chinese Navy? It is to attack when it is several times weaker, and complete the total annihilation. If China's navy expands further, will it have the ability to challenge the British Empire's maritime supremacy?

Despite the heaviness of his heart, Miller was still tough on his lips: "Although you are not small in the size of the Japanese Navy, you are just an upstart, at best second-rate. However, the Spanish 'Wu Enemy Fleet' at that time was the first in the world. ”

Sa Shijun smiled: "What about being number one in the world? They fell behind, so they perished and were replaced. "Since the Sino-Japanese War, the Chinese Navy has seen the great role of naval aviation in the Navy, and they have clearly seen that aircraft carriers are the direction of the Navy's development. The Chinese Navy is completely confident that the Western naval community will adhere to the traditional naval thinking of giant ships and cannons, and they will be fully confident that they will replace it and usher in a new era for the navy.

The corners of Miller's mouth looked a little bitter, and he suddenly turned his gaze and said with a smile: "I wonder very much about the flagship of your navy, why there is a huge space left on the front and rear decks, can you take me to see it?" ”

Sa Shijun said: "Warships are the country's mobile territory, do you think your request is appropriate now?" ”

Miller sighed secretly, he really wanted to know, and he definitely didn't think it was a design flaw. But at this moment, he could only pretend not to care, and said with a smile: "It doesn't seem to be appropriate, I'm just a little weird." Nice to meet you, I think I'm leaving soon. ”

Sa Shijun smiled: "I'm also very happy to meet you." If you come back next time, I will definitely leave you behind. ”

Miller looked up at Sa Shijun, how could he not know the meaning of the other party's words? The other party's unruly gaze is invested in provocation and murder, and it seems to have infinite self-confidence. This made him feel infinite anger in his heart, and he also glared at him unceremoniously.

The eyes of both of them were as sharp as knives, as if they were about to collide with sparks

－－－－－－－－－－－－－

The cracking of porcelain resounded in the office, and it was very harsh in the quiet of the Kremlin.

The Red Army soldiers standing guard couldn't help but shudder, fearing that the thunderous wrath of the tyrant inside would be directed to them.

In the general secretary's office, Yagoda of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, even in this icy and snowy winter, at this moment the cold sweat soaked his underwear, and in the fireplace beating, you can clearly see the panic and uneasiness on his face.

"Damn it!" Stalin seemed to realize something, and did not completely burst out of anger, but quickly calmed down and simply cursed. After all, he has only just become the general secretary, and there are many veteran comrades in the party who have the ability to challenge his status and authority, and he cannot be allowed to cover the sky with one hand at present.

Yagoda said nervously: "Comrade Stalin, I'm very sorry. The British and the French were at peace, and the important thing was that the incident broke out so suddenly that our men could not have been put in place and acted in time. ”

"I know, I can't blame you guys." Stalin comforted Yakoda and paused, "In this situation, there is no doubt that Britain and France are ready to compromise in the face of pressure from the Chinese side. They have clearly seen from this incident that their so-called prestige can no longer play a deterrent role against China, and their military arrangements are not in place, and of course it is impossible to have a long-term military confrontation with China in the Far East. ”

Yagoda immediately said: "Comrade Stalin is wise, so what should we do now?" ”

Stalin ate this "horse fart", his face looked a little better, and he thought for a while: "If this development is allowed and the Chinese abolish the unequal treaties, then China's strategic center of gravity will undoubtedly go north, which will be a huge pressure on our Soviet Republic." Although we are not afraid of China, if something like this happens, it will be difficult for us to get enough recuperation. You immediately arranged for the 'Cheka' and international friends in Europe to vigorously publicize this incident in Britain and France, as well as in the European and American worlds, humiliating Britain and France, and arousing public indignation. ”

Yagoda immediately responded: "Yes, I promise to convey your instructions accurately." Is there any point in instructing Britain and France that they are ready to compromise? In fact, he understands very well, but he just said it on purpose, that is, the skill of officialdom survival, and it must show the "wisdom" of the superior.

Stalin sneered: "As long as Britain and France are still ashamed, their government will not pass this bill so easily." Because this is a white supremacy world, and the Chinese are yellow. You can't stop arranging, you know? ”

"Yes!"

Stalin laughed cruelly, the European and American powers were calculating Soviet Russia, why didn't Soviet Russia calculate them? He said to himself: "Whether it is 'the water of calamity leading to the north' or 'the yellow peril going south', it depends on the means." ”
