At about 6 o'clock in the evening of March 4, 1909, the curtain came down on the battle of the three aircraft carrier battle groups of the Royal Navy of the Chinese Empire and the combined expeditionary fleet of the Allied Powers, the Allied Powers, and the United States in the Arabian Sea, and the final victory fell on the head of the Royal Navy of the Chinese Empire without any suspense.

Because it was dark and the carrier-based aircraft of the aircraft carriers could not continue to fight, the three aircraft carrier battle groups of the Imperial Chinese Navy stopped the pursuit of the remnants of the warships of the British, American, German, and French navies of the joint expeditionary fleet, but the results of the three aircraft carrier battle groups of the Royal Navy of the Chinese Empire for more than three hours were also remarkable, and a large number of warships of the British, American, German, and French navies were sunk in the course of the pursuit, and the vast majority of the sunken warships were sunk by the carrier-based aircraft of the aircraft carriers. In addition, hundreds of warships, led by the British Navy's Orion-class super dreadnought battleship Scorpio and the U.S. Navy's New York-class super dreadnought battleship Washington, directly raised the white flag and surrendered to the Royal Navy of the Chinese Empire, becoming trophies of the Royal Navy of the Chinese Empire.

Many of the warships of the navy of Britain, the United States, Germany, and France surrendered because the officers and men of the navy of the various countries above had lost their fighting spirit, and when they saw the Chinese Imperial warplanes still densely packed in the sky, they felt that their warships might be blown up and sunk at any time.

In the bridge of the Fengtian, the flagship of the First Fleet of the Imperial Chinese Navy, Sun Xitao said to Yin Jian, the captain of the Fengtian: "I didn't expect that we could capture 2 super dreadnought battleships, we must be careful of the enemy on these 2 super dreadnought battleships to make small moves." These two trophies will be replenished to our six main fleets in the future. ”

Yin Jian's face could not suppress the expression of excitement, and when he heard Sun Xitao's words, Yin Jian said with a smile: "Commander, rest assured, we have sent a large number of personnel to receive the Orion-class super dreadnought battleship Scorpio of the British Navy and the New York-class super dreadnought battleship of the US Navy, and basically completely control these two super dreadnought battleships, and for the surrendered dreadnought battleships of the navies of the four British, American, German and French navies." It is also the target of our key receiving, and it is almost under control now, but it will take some time for other types of warships to surrender, otherwise we can return victoriously now. ”

Sun Xitao asked, "How are the results counted?" The emperor is still waiting for the news of our victory! ”

Yin Jian said: "The approximate results have been counted, in this naval battle, we captured 2 super dreadnought battleships, 8 dreadnought battleships, 5 all-steel battleships, 10 large fast armored cruisers, 30 fast protection cruisers, 42 destroyers and 114 torpedo boats, and sank 3 super dreadnought battleships, 34 dreadnought battleships, 57 all-steel battleships and 20 ironclad battleships of the entire joint expeditionary fleet, as for other types of warships sunk." Because there are too many, there are no specific statistics yet, but the number of warships sunk by the entire Combined Expeditionary Fleet except for battleships has reached hundreds, and in this sea battle, our Imperial Chinese Navy has achieved a brilliant victory! ”

Sun Xitao nodded with a smile and said, "Send 1 fast protection cruiser to rush in the direction of the Malacca Naval Base, and wait until the delivery distance is reached." Send a telegram to the city of Beijing now! The emperor and the empire are waiting for the news of our victory! ”

Around 8 p.m. on March 4, 1909. In the Ministry of National Defense building in Beijing, the lights were bright at this time, and Lin Daxin, the emperor of the Chinese Empire, and a group of important ministers of the empire were anxiously waiting for the final result of the Arab Sea Battle here in the Ministry of Defense.

This sea war that broke out in the Arabian Sea. Because it was far away from the mainland of the Chinese Empire, the radio station installed on the warship could not immediately report the situation of the naval battle to the mainland, and in order to transmit the results of the naval battle to the mainland, it was necessary to send warships to approach the Malacca naval base. It is within the effective distance of the radio station, so until now, the city of Beijing does not know what is going on in this decisive battle in the Arabian Sea.

Lin Daxin was in the office of Defense Minister Wu Peifu, pacing back and forth, frowning, although in this naval battle, Lin Daxin has sent the most powerful 3 aircraft carrier battle groups of the Imperial Chinese Navy, especially the nearly 1,500 carrier-based aircraft on the 9 emperor-class aircraft carriers, which makes the Royal Navy of the Chinese Empire have a ninety-nine-percent certainty of winning this naval battle, but this naval battle is too important, and it can even affect the current course of this war, that is, Lin Daxin has a ninety-nine-percent certainty of victory, However, before the final result of the naval battle came out, Lin Daxin was still a little nervous, afraid of any unexpected situation.

At this time, in the office of Defense Minister Wu Peifu, in addition to Wu Peifu, there were also Premier Wang Yan, Vice Minister of Defense in charge of the Navy Jiang Hui, Director of the Military Intelligence Bureau Li Kun, and Director of the Secrecy Bureau Shen Peng.

Seeing Lin Daxin's anxious look, Prime Minister Wang Yan said comfortingly: "Your Majesty, in this decisive battle on the Arabian Sea, we have 9 super aircraft carriers, and the number of carrier-based aircraft on them is as high as 1440. ”

Lin Daxin stopped and said: "This big battle in the Arabian Sea mainly depends on the carrier-based aircraft of our 9 emperor-class aircraft carriers, and I also believe that under the indiscriminate bombardment of nearly 1,500 carrier-based aircraft, the second joint expeditionary fleet formed by the Entente, the Allies and the United States will not have any chance of turning the tables!" However, I am a little worried that the second joint expeditionary fleet will give up the decisive battle and turn away when it sees that our Royal Navy has so many carrier-based aircraft! ”

At this time, Defense Minister Wu Peifu said: "Your Majesty, the commander-in-chief of this joint expeditionary fleet is still Bridget of the British Navy, if someone else is the commander-in-chief of the entire joint expeditionary fleet. Seeing so many carrier-based aircraft suddenly appearing in our Royal Navy, he may choose to retreat, but Bridget will definitely not back down, he is full of strength to avenge the defeat of the first two battles. ”

Lin Daxin nodded and said, "I hope so!" This time we were so well prepared that the three aircraft carrier battle groups went thousands of kilometers away in the Arabian Sea. Launch a surprise attack on the second joint expeditionary fleet formed by the Entente, the Allies and the United States, hoping to inflict heavy damage on this joint expeditionary fleet, in that case, these naval powers in Europe and the United States will not think about trouble with our Imperial Chinese Navy for a short time! ”

Lin Daxin turned his head to Li Kun, director of the Military Intelligence Bureau, and asked, "Is there any movement between the Pacific Fleet of the US Navy and the Combined Fleet of the Japanese Navy?" ”

Li Kun said: "The big battle that broke out in the Arabian Sea today may be that the warships of the Joint Expeditionary Fleet sent the situation to the British in India by radio station, and now the whole world already knows that this naval battle is going on in the Arabian Sea that will determine the direction of the war, and the Pacific Fleet of the US Navy was afraid that our Royal Navy would attack it. After arriving in the waters near Japan, it did not join the combined fleet of the Japanese Navy, but has been cruising on the sea more than 200 nautical miles east of the Gulf of Tonkin in Japan, perhaps once the main force of our Royal Navy is discovered, the Americans may withdraw the Pacific Fleet to the Pearl Harbor naval base in the Hawaiian Islands, and today the Pacific Fleet of the US Navy may know that the main force of our Royal Navy is fighting a major battle with the second joint expeditionary fleet in the Arabian Sea, and has now sailed to the Gulf of Tonkin in Japan. Ready to join the Combined Fleet of the Japanese Navy in Tokyo Bay. ”

Commander of the Pacific Fleet of the US Navy, Henry Tell. The main force that was originally going to lead the Pacific Fleet stayed at the Pearl Harbor naval base in the Hawaiian Islands, waiting for the main naval force of the Chinese Empire to fight a decisive battle with the Combined Expeditionary Fleet formed by the Allied Powers, the Central Powers, and the United States. Depending on the situation, it will be decided whether to go to Japan or not, and join the combined fleet of the Japanese Navy.

If the Allied Powers, the Allies, and the United States formed a joint expeditionary fleet defeat in a naval battle, then there is no need for the main force of the Pacific Fleet led by Henry Tell to go to Japan, and then it is better to consider how to defend the American mainland!

But you Henryt don't want to go, but there are many people who don't agree, including the entire Entente and the Central Powers. and the Japanese, who were waiting for the arrival of the U.S. Pacific Fleet, that is, the United States could withstand the pressure of the Japanese, but the Entente and the Allies also counted on the U.S. Pacific Fleet and the Combined Fleet of the Japanese Navy to attract part of the forces of the Imperial Chinese Navy to the east and relieve the pressure on the second Combined Expeditionary Fleet. As a result, you Henry Tall took the Pacific Fleet to bask in the sun at Pearl Harbor, where could the Entente and the Allies agree, so they constantly put pressure on the United States, so that the main force of the Pacific Fleet of the US Navy must immediately leave for Japan and join the Japanese Navy Combined Fleet.

In the end, U.S. Secretary of the Navy George Dewey could not resist the pressure and could only order Henry Tall to lead the main force of the U.S. Navy's Pacific Fleet from Pearl Harbor to Japan.

Henry Tell had no choice but to take 2 New York-class super dreadnought battleships, 6 Delaware-class dreadnought-class battleships, 2 Florida-class dreadnought battleships, 2 Wyoming-class dreadnought battleships, 2 Chishach-class all-steel battleships, 1 Illinois-class all-steel battleship, 4 Virginia-class all-steel battleships, 4 Connecticut-class all-steel battleships, as well as 2 ironclad battleships, 8 large fast armored cruisers, 18 fast protection cruisers, 26 destroyers, Thirty-six torpedo boats and eight submarines set off from Pearl Harbor to Japan to join the Japanese Combined Fleet.

On March 2, 1909, the main force of the U.S. Navy's Pacific Fleet had already arrived in the sea area more than 200 nautical miles east of Japan's Tokyo Bay, but then Henry Tall ordered the hundreds of warships of the Pacific Fleet to stop moving forward, and did not immediately enter Japan's Tokyo Bay to join the Japanese Navy's Combined Fleet gathered in Tokyo Bay.

Henry Tall did not know if the main force of the Imperial Chinese Navy was around Japan, and if the main force of the Pacific Fleet entered Tokyo Bay, the Imperial Chinese Navy blocked the entrance to Tokyo Bay, and then used fighter planes to continuously bomb the Pacific Fleet of the US Navy, then the Pacific Fleet would be miserable.

Henryttle hoped to get specific information about the main force of the Chinese Imperial Navy, and then decided whether to enter the Gulf of Tonkin.

Lin Daxin asked Li Kun again: "So the main force of the Japanese Navy's combined fleet is currently concentrated in Tokyo Bay?" ”

Li Kun nodded and said: "According to the intelligence of our military intelligence agency, the Japanese Navy has concentrated 2 Hyuga-class dreadnought battleships, 2 Kagu-class dreadnought battleships, 4 Hanoi-class dreadnought battleships, 3 Amagi-class dreadnought battleships, 1 Fuji-class all-steel battleship, 3 Kongo-class all-steel battleships and 3 Kumano-class all-steel battleships, all of which have been concentrated in the important ports of Tokyo, Yokosuka, Yokohama, and Kawasaki in Tokyo Bay, in addition to 12 large fast armored cruisers of the Japanese Navy's combined fleet. Twenty-two fast protection cruisers, 27 destroyers, 48 torpedo boats, and eight submarines were also concentrated in the ports mentioned above, and in Japanese ports outside the Gulf of Tonkin there were only a few old warships and a few offshore gunboats. ”

Lin Daxin sneered and said: "The Americans and the Japanese may not have imagined that our Royal Navy has also prepared an aircraft carrier battle group for them, and ordered the Fourth Fleet concealed in the Ryukyu Islands, the Fifth Fleet at the Busan Naval Base, the Sixth Fleet at the Vladivostok Naval Base, the Hakodate Port Garrison Fleet at the Hakodate Naval Base, and the submarine forces, to immediately approach Japan's Tokyo Bay, and once the main force of the US Navy's Pacific Fleet enters Tokyo Bay, immediately blockade Tokyo Bay, The Fourth Fleet's aircraft carrier squadron was then prepared to launch an air attack on the combined U.S.-Japan fleet. ”

As soon as Lin Daxin's words fell, a colonel of the Royal Army of the Chinese Empire ran into Wu Peifu's office with an excited face, and shouted excitedly: "Tell the emperor, we have won!" Great victory! It was a brilliant victory! (To be continued.) )
