The Fifth Fleet of the Northeast Navy came to Da Nang, Vietnam, and the French Asian Colonial Fleet, under the orders of Commander AlFrea, 15 warships sailed out of the harbor to prepare to meet the 18 warships of the Fifth Fleet of the Northeast Navy.

Chen Ming, commander of the Fifth Fleet, was about to order the main warships to line up in a battle line and seize the T-shaped prefix, when another fleet appeared in the distance, and then this fleet went unexpectedly to penetrate the sea area between the Fifth Fleet of the Northeast Navy and the French Asian Colonial Fleet.

As the distance narrowed, the Fifth Fleet of the Northeast Navy and the French Asian Colonial Fleet both recognized the flown of the flag of this new fleet, and the fleet that suddenly appeared belonged to the British Navy.

This British fleet consists of 10 warships, including 2 Sovereign-class all-steel battleships, 2 ironclad battleships, 2 large fast armored cruisers, 2 fast protection cruisers and 2 destroyers, and is part of the British Navy's Far East Fleet attached to Singapore.

On the all-steel battleship of the British Far East Fleet, the commander of the Sovereign, who was also the temporary commander of the detachment, saw that the Northeast Navy and the French Asian Colonial Fleet had not exchanged fire, and immediately breathed a sigh of relief.

Sykes then ordered 10 British warships to move between the two fleets, separating the two fleets that were preparing to engage fire.

Alfrea, the commander of the French Asian colonial fleet, saw the sudden appearance of the British fleet, his nervous expression relaxed, he had already received a telegram from the French Minister of the Navy, Grevy, telling him that France had negotiated with the British, and that Britain would stop Lin Daxin's attack on the French Asian colonies, and now that the British fleet was coming, the Northeast Navy should not attack its own Asian colonial fleet again.

Chen Ming's brows furrowed when he saw the sudden appearance of the British fleet, he felt that the British should have come here to stop their own fleet from attacking the French fleet, otherwise they would not intersperse between the two fleets that were preparing to fight.

Chen Ming then ordered the fleet not to approach the French Asian colonial fleet, but to maintain a cruising state to see what the purpose of the British coming here was, and whether it was the same as he had guessed.

Soon after, a British destroyer approached the Fifth Fleet of the Northeast Navy and lowered a lifeboat to row towards the flagship Xinghai, and then a British lieutenant colonel was picked up by the officers and sailors of the Xinghai, and then was taken into the bridge of the Xinghai.

The British lieutenant commander saw Chen Ming and Captain Huang Zifeng of the Xinghai standing side by side in the bridge, and said in a not very fluent Chinese dialect: "I am Lieutenant Commander Michael of the British Royal Navy, and I have come to negotiate with you on behalf of the British Empire on the question of France's Asian colonies on the orders of Rear Admiral Sykes. ”

Chen Ming frowned and said, "What does our Northeast Navy's attack on the French Asian colonies have to do with you British?" ”

The British lieutenant commander named Maxon shrugged his shoulders and said: "If you occupy the French colonies of Vietnam, Cambodia and Laos in Asia, it will be a threat to our British colonies in Asia, so on behalf of the British Empire, I would like to inform you that the British Empire will not allow you to take any military action against the French colonies in Asia!" ”

After Chen Ming and Huang Zifeng listened to Maxon's arrogant words, they were immediately furious, and Huang Zifeng first said angrily: "The French did not declare war, but united with the Russian Navy to come to Asia from Europe to attack our Northeast Navy, this despicable act is equivalent to declaring war on our four northeastern provinces, and our Northeast Navy is attacking France's Asian colonies, it is natural that you British should stop us!" ”

Chen Ming said with a gloomy face: "What if our Northeast Navy insists on launching an attack on France's Asian colonies? ”

Maxon tilted his head slightly and said in an arrogant tone: "Why, we rely on the fact that we are the British Empire, if your Northeast Navy does not listen to dissuasion, it will be a provocation to our British Empire, and our British Royal Navy will use a means to maintain the dignity of the British Empire!" ”

Chen Ming and Huang Zifeng glanced at each other, and they both saw the raging anger in each other's eyes, Chen Ming couldn't wait to pull out his gun and shoot the arrogant British Navy lieutenant in front of him.

But Chen Ming knew that he couldn't do that, the lieutenant commander of the navy of the most powerful country in the world still came on behalf of the British Empire, and if he killed him, it would bring the same trouble to the entire Northeast.

Chen Ming exhaled a mouthful of turbidity in his chest, suppressed his anger and said, "This British Lieutenant Commander, we need to study the requirements of your British. ”

Maxon nodded and said, "No problem, we have a lot of time, you can study it slowly!" ”

Later, Maxon was taken by the sailors of the Xinghai to a cabin where the crew was resting.

Huang Zifeng said indignantly to Chen Ming: "The British are really too deceitful, I really want to fight with them!" ”

Chen Ming sighed and said: "I didn't expect the British to jump out to stop our attack on France's Asian colonies, we are still at war with the Russians, and the French are still supporting the Russians, if we provoke the British again, it will be a big trouble!" ”

Huang Zifeng also sighed and said, "Commander, what should our fleet do now?" ”

Chen Ming said helplessly: "I have to send a telegram to the principal, report the situation to the principal, and let the principal make a decision!" In addition, keep the ships ready for battle, and if the Headmaster orders the attack to continue, we may have to face a combined French and British fleet. ”

Then an urgent telegram was sent to Manila, then from Manila to Weihaiwei, then from Weihaiwei to the Lushun base, and finally from the Lushun base to the Shenyang Governor's Palace, and to Lin Daxin, who had just returned to the Shenyang Governor's Palace.

The reason why it is forwarded is because the radio station that Lin Daxin transported from modern time and space has a limited sending and receiving distance, and it must be forwarded to reach Shenyang.

In the office of the Governor's Palace, Lin Daxin took the telegram in the hand of He Yue, the only female adjutant in the Governor's Palace, and after reading it, he slammed the desk in front of him with his fist.

He Yue was startled, patted her towering chest, and asked in a coquettish voice: "Scared me, Lin Dashuai, are we going to war with the British?" ”

He Yue, who accidentally traveled from modern time and space, was arranged by Lin Daxin's two wives, Ding Xueshan and Du Juan, to Lin Daxin's side as an adjutant of the Governor's Palace, similar to Lin Daxin's full-time secretary.

Hearing He Yue's question, Lin Daxin's clenched fist loosened, except for He Yue, the other adjutants of the Governor's Mansion did not dare to talk to Lin Daxin like this.

Lin Daxin sighed and said: "The current Britain is not the Britain that has been weakened a lot after World War I and World War II, the current Britain is the most powerful country in the world, with the most powerful navy and the most extensive territory, and their army strength is not weak, not the current I can provoke!" ”

He Yue blinked his eyes and said in a coquettish voice: "Lin Dashuai, from what I have learned since I came here, you have built the four northeastern provinces into a very strong army, the Dingbei Army, which has a strength of more than one million, and a navy that ranks second in this time and space, and now you have just defeated the French Navy and the Russian fleet, captured a large number of warships, and your naval strength has reached a higher level, are you still afraid of war with the British?" You must know that the British were the first to invade our China, the Qing Dynasty was the first to open the country by the British in the first Opium War, one of the murderers of the burning of the Old Summer Palace was also British, and the future Eight-Nation Alliance was also provoked by the British, the British have committed countless crimes against our China, and we now have the opportunity to absolutely not let go of the rogue country of Britain! ”

Lin Daxin smiled bitterly and said: "I'm not afraid of the British, it's just that now we are fighting a bloody battle with the Russians, and the French navy has no strength, but I don't know if the French will send an army to help the Russians, the British are now preventing us from launching an attack on the French Asian colonies, I decided to endure it, otherwise if the British are also involved, I will really be in trouble!" As for the crimes committed by the British against China, I will settle accounts with them little by little in the future, He Yue, I am also an angry young man! ”

The power of the beauty is still relatively large, and Lin Daxin, who was originally angry, was angry a lot because of what He Yue said.

When He Yue heard Lin Daxin say that he was an angry youth, she couldn't help but laugh out loud, and then said: "Lin Dashuai, is the attack of the Fifth Fleet of the Northeast Navy on the French Asian colonies canceled?" Let the Fifth Fleet withdraw to the Manila Naval Base, and now the Fifth Fleet is still facing off the coast of Da Nang, Vietnam, with a fleet from Britain and Singapore, and the French Colonial Fleet in Asia! ”

Lin Daxin thought for a while and said: "In this way, you draft a telegram to Chen Ming, the commander of the Fifth Fleet, asking him to negotiate with the British and the French, if the French promise not to send land forces to join us in this war with the Russians, we are willing to give up the attack on the French Asian colonies of Vietnam, Cambodia and Laos." Sue sù Chen, take a tougher attitude, but also grasp the scale, we must not fight with the British now! ”

He Yue nodded and said, "Okay, Lin Dashuai, I'll draft a telegram immediately, and you will send it to Chen Ming, the commander of the Fifth Fleet, after you see it." ”

At about 2 o'clock in the afternoon of the day when the Fifth Fleet arrived outside Da Nang, Vietnam, it received a telegram from Lin Daxin, after which Chen Ming called British Lieutenant Commander Michelson and told him that it was okay for the Northeast Navy not to attack the French Asian colonies, but France must promise not to send the French Army to join it in this war between the Northeast and the Russians.

Chen Ming told Maxon that if the French did not agree, there would be nothing more to say.

In the end, the French, who were not ready to send their troops to participate in this war, happily agreed to Lin Daxin's request, and Alfrea, commander of the French Asian Colonial Fleet, and Chen Ming, commander of the Fifth Fleet of the Northeast Navy, signed a memorandum under the witness of the temporary commander of the British detachment, Sykes.
