In order to prevent the 500,000 allied troops who came to Asia with the second joint expeditionary fleet from entering India, Lin Daxin prepared to move the main fleet of the Royal Navy of the Chinese Empire to the location of the decisive naval battle with the second joint expeditionary fleet formed by the Entente, the Allied Powers and the United States. Let the Royal Navy's three aircraft carrier battle groups launch an attack on it in the Arabian Sea.

In this way, if the three aircraft carrier battle groups of the Imperial Chinese Navy defeat the second joint expeditionary fleet, the remaining 500,000 allied troops on transport ships will become meat on the board, and it will become a very luxurious thing to escape.

The Ministry of Defense of the Chinese Empire and the Royal Navy had no objection to Lin Daxin's decision, and the three aircraft carrier battle groups went from the Malacca Naval Base to the Arabian Sea to intercept the second joint expeditionary fleet, although the distance required three aircraft carrier battle groups to sail more than 2,000 nautical miles, but they could play a role in attacking the second joint expeditionary fleet, so the First Fleet, the Second Fleet, and the Third Fleet of the Royal Navy of the Chinese Empire, and the three aircraft carrier battle groups immediately began to prepare for the voyage.

The second joint expeditionary fleet has just departed from the Greek island of Crete, and the three aircraft carrier battle groups still have a lot of time to prepare, according to the intelligence agency, the route of the second joint expeditionary fleet is still the same as the last time, so that the three aircraft carrier battle groups only need to intercept the route of the second joint expeditionary fleet to the port of Mumbai, India.

This war between the Chinese Empire and the Entente and the Central Powers was raised in scale by the United States and Japan. Almost all of the more powerful countries of the world were involved, with the formation of a second joint expeditionary fleet. The eyes of the whole world were on this fleet, and even the battlefields on both sides suddenly calmed down. It seems that they are all waiting for a decisive battle at sea that is destined to be inevitable.

Because of the continuous rainy days in the Indian battlefield, the Royal Army of the Chinese Empire can only continue to stay on the Sino-Indian border for the time being, waiting for the weather to improve, so that the road conditions in India are no longer so bad, and then they can study the British Army attacking India, while the Russian battlefield where both sides are mobilizing a large amount of war materials to the front line of the Ural Mountains, accumulating strength, and there should be no possibility of a major war in a short time.

After the Japanese declared war, they honestly stayed on their three large islands and did not stretch out their claws to the Chinese Empire. The Japanese Army has been overhauling fortifications on the Japanese mainland, and the combined fleet of the Japanese Navy has gathered in Tokyo Bay, and what Japan means is that it is possible to take action only after waiting for the second joint expeditionary fleet to arrive in the waters of Asia, that is, the main force of the Pacific Fleet of the US Navy will arrive in Japan, and the Japanese will not necessarily dare to make any big moves, otherwise if the Japanese make a move, the combined fleet of the Japanese Navy will definitely move first. Then the Japanese will suddenly face the powerful navy that they hate and fear, so without a second joint expeditionary fleet to deal with the main force of the Chinese Imperial Navy, the Japanese will definitely honestly guard their own one-third of an acre.

Although the Ministry of Defense of the Chinese Empire arranged aircraft carrier battle groups of the Fourth Fleet around Japan. There are also two defensive battle groups of the Fifth and Sixth Fleets, as well as a reinforced Hakodate Port garrison fleet, but the Ministry of Defense is not prepared to take immediate action against the Japanese navy. Instead, it is hoped that when the main forces of the US Navy's Pacific Fleet arrive in Japan, the Japanese Navy's Combined Fleet and the US Navy's Pacific Fleet will be boiled in one spoonful. What the Imperial Chinese Defense Ministry wanted most was to weaken the United States. I don't care as much about the little Japan around me as I used to, and if I stay by the side of the Chinese Empire, how many moths can little Japan make, even if Japan makes any moths, it must be under the control of the Chinese Empire.

On the battlefield in Alaska, the 21st Field Army of the Royal Army of the Imperial Chinese Army, which landed, encountered some resistance in the operation of rushing to land on the beach, and the rest of the operations in Alaska were completely compared with the speed of the US Army, and the comparison between the two sides was the speed of the US Army's rout and the speed of the 21st Field Army's pursuit.

Soon it didn't take 20 days, and the remaining more than 30,000 U.S. Army troops won the speed race, fled to Canadian territory, and joined the combined forces of Canada and the United States on the border between Alaska and Canada, which made the more than 30,000 U.S. troops who escaped from Alaska stop the rout, and in order to pursue the U.S. troops, the 21st Field Army pursuing force that advanced lightly also temporarily stopped the pursuit after arriving at the border line between Alaska and Canada. On the opposite side are hundreds of thousands of United States and Canadian allied troops waiting for each other, and the 21st Field Army pursuing troops, which do not even carry large-caliber artillery, will definitely be looking for a dead end if they collide headlong at this time.

The Department of Defense immediately ordered the 21st Field Army to establish a defensive position on the border between Alaska and Canada, and at the same time transport the heavy equipment and various combat materials of the 21st Field Army to hold the territory of Alaska for the time being.

The battlefields have calmed down for the time being, but the people in the Chinese Empire are not calm about the United States and Japan also joining the war, especially the second joint expeditionary fleet formed by the Entente, the Allies and the United States is about to come to Asia again, many ordinary people in the Chinese Empire are still very worried, they don't know that Lin Daxin has prepared a big meal for this joint expeditionary fleet.

However, Lin Daxin's efforts for so many years have not been in vain, no matter who the enemy is, how powerful the ordinary people of the Chinese Empire are, they still wholeheartedly support their country, and the entire territory of the Chinese Empire has set off a wave of enthusiasm for joining the army, and the whole family is glorious when one person joins the army.

In a relatively large teahouse in the city of Beijing, there was a lot of people, and more than 20 tables were full. At one of the tables, sat two elderly men in their 60s wearing riding coats. One of the old men said to the other old man: "Third Master Chang, I heard that your little five made great contributions in the Battle of Ufa City a while ago. Come back this time, your little five should be able to be the head of the group! ”

Although Chang Sanye's smug smile flashed, he said in his mouth: "Fourth Master Song, where is it so easy, no matter what you say this time, the army of our Chinese Empire was also blocked back to the first line of the Ural Mountains by the army of foreigners, and my little five wrote that his battalion fought a lot of tough battles in the Battle of Ufa City, but this Battle of Ufa City was not a big victory." Xiao Wu's military exploits will still have some impact, it's really hard to say whether he can be promoted to the regiment commander, and besides, in such a national war, being able to fight for the country is the most important thing, and as for promotion or something, it's secondary. ”

Fourth Master Song sighed and said: "Third Master Chang is right, at this time, being able to fight for the country is the most important thing!" We heard that hundreds of thousands of people were lost in the Battle of Ufa City, and the second eldest of the old Wu family next door to my house died in the Battle of Ufa City this time. The two of the old Wu family were crying so miserably! It sounds really uncomfortable, but Lao Wu still said to people with tears in his eyes that the second child of his family is worth it, and he hopes that the people in the army will take away the third child of his family. Keep working with foreigners! ”

Chang Sanye also restrained his smile at this time and said: "Lao Wu, that old boy is enough for you, I don't ask my little five to be promoted, as long as our Chinese Empire can win this war." If my little five can return safely, the old man is willing to reduce his life expectancy for ten or eight years. But if Xiao Wu is really loyal to the country, the old man will definitely send the sixth child to the army. ”

Fourth Master Song said comfortingly: "Third Master Chang rest assured. Your little five looks like a lot of wealth, a long life, and a hundred years old, and you will definitely be able to return safely. ”

Chang Sanye nodded and said, "I've borrowed your good words!" ”

Song Siye then said with a worried face: "I heard that the foreigners' army has gathered 6 million troops in Russia again, and is ready to continue to attack the territory we occupy, I wonder if our army can stop it?" I also heard that this time the foreigners have formed a large fleet again, and it has already driven towards our country, I wonder if our country's navy can achieve a great victory in a naval battle like the last time? ”

Chang Sanye said confidently: "Fourth Master Song, in the battle of Wufa City, the foreigners' army was 7 million, and in the end, it was not half wiped out by our army, don't look at the foreigners gathered another 6 million troops, according to the old man's opinion, the defense line of our national army in Russia is absolutely impregnable." In addition, since our country's navy can defeat the first foreigner's fleet, it will definitely be able to defeat the second foreigner's fleet again. ”

Fourth Master Song smiled bitterly and said, "I hope so!" To tell you the truth, the third master of my family participated in our country's navy behind my back, and in the last naval battle, the warship where the fourth child was located also participated, fortunately, the fourth and their warships had nothing to do in the naval battle, otherwise the white-haired people sent the black-haired people, how could people stand it, **** foreigners. ”

Chang Sanye asked in surprise: "The fourth brother has joined the army?" Isn't he in college? When did it happen to join the army? Why didn't you say it? ”

Song Siye said helplessly: "Last year's incident, the fourth child directly carried me into the army behind my back in the university, and I am not against him joining the army to serve the country, but it was in the middle of the war at that time, I, as a father, am really worried about what will happen to the fourth child in my family, alas-"

Chang Sanye said comfortingly: "The fourth child also joined the army, this is a good thing, the fourth child joined the army in college, isn't it all of a sudden the rank of second lieutenant?" Our children are all auspicious people, and they will be safe and sound. ”

Song Siye also showed a smile at this time and said: "My fourth child originally applied for the Dalian Naval Academy, but unfortunately he was not admitted, this time he joined the navy as he wished, as soon as he joined the army, he became a second lieutenant in the navy, and also borrowed the good words of Chang Sanye, this time the foreigner's fleet is here again, I only hope that our navy can win again, and my fourth child can be safe." ”

Chang Sanye and Song Siye are both original banner people, that is, Manchus, but now the two old men are already nationals of the Chinese Empire, and from their conversations, it can be seen that they have a deep sense of belonging to the Chinese Empire.

After Lin Daxin overthrew the Manchu Qing Dynasty, he did not take any reckoning with the ordinary Manchus, treating them exactly the same as ordinary Han Chinese, and the propaganda department of the Chinese Empire has also been spreading the concept of the Chinese nation to the country, so that dozens of ethnic minorities, including the Manchus, have been completely integrated into the Chinese national system. In today's Chinese Imperial Army, there are hundreds of thousands of officers and soldiers of ethnic minorities. Together with other Han officers and soldiers, for the rise of the Chinese Empire. In order to expand the living space of the Chinese nation, they fought bloody battles against the enemy's army.

In a small county town below Hailin City, Heilongjiang Province, the Chinese Empire, three officers and soldiers wearing the uniforms of the Royal Guards of the Chinese Empire came to the door of a small courtyard facing the street, one of the officers with the rank of lieutenant hesitated for a long time, sighed helplessly, and then stepped forward and knocked on the courtyard door, to be honest, this army lieutenant would rather face dozens of heavily armed enemies than see that simple face again.

Soon. A man in his 50s opened the courtyard door tremblingly, saw an urn held by a soldier, his eyes immediately turned red, he turned his head with difficulty, and asked the lieutenant in a trembling voice: "Chief Li, this is ...... This is...... The second in our family? ”

The lieutenant said in a deep voice: "Uncle Tian, I have to regret to tell you that your son Tian Qingsheng was in the battle of Ufa City in order to conquer the enemy's position. Heroic sacrifice, you raised a good son, and Second Lieutenant Tian Qingsheng is also a good son of our Chinese Empire, according to the orders of the Ministry of Defense. The martyr Tian Qingsheng will be posthumously recognized as a captain, and according to the salary of the captain's rank, the family will be given a salary of 10 years as a pension. Later...... Alas, Uncle Tian, you mourn and change! ”

This lieutenant knew Uncle Tian because he had already been to Uncle Tian's house twice. Counting this time the lieutenant is already the third time to come to the door, Uncle Tian has a total of 5 sons. All four of them have joined the army of the Chinese Empire, and now the lieutenant, who is responsible for informing the officers and soldiers of the death of the officers, has come to Uncle Tian's house three times, which also indicates that Uncle Tian's three sons have died in the war.

What the lieutenant didn't say had already been said twice to Uncle Tian, which meant that Uncle Tian's family would enjoy all the treatment of the martyr's family, which no longer meant anything to Uncle Tian's family, and they would have been able to enjoy it a long time ago.

Uncle Tian trembled slightly and took the ashes of his second son, tears could not stop flowing out, following the eldest and the third, Uncle Tian has lost 3 sons in this war, the eldest was sacrificed in the Indian battlefield, and the third was sacrificed in the battle of Chelyabinsk.

"I've been in a panic these days, I knew something was going to happen, I just heard the knock on the door, I had a hunch, I didn't expect the second child to leave!" Uncle Tian said to himself sadly.

At this time, another 16 or 7-year-old young man came out of the yard, and when he saw the photo on the urn held by Uncle Tian, his teeth creaked, his eyes turned red all of a sudden, and he shouted two words in a sad voice: "Second brother!" ”

The lieutenant's eyes were also red, and he asked Uncle Tian, "Uncle Tian, do you have any requirements?" The troops will try their best to solve it for you! ”

Uncle Tian took a deep breath, wiped the tears from the corners of his eyes with his hand, and said to the lieutenant: "Sir Li, the three boys of my family are all loyal to the country, they died well, if you want to say that you want to ask, I really have one, Sir Li, I also have a young son, who is 16 years old this year, I hope that the army can let my youngest son join the army, inherit the legacy of his brothers, and fight for the emperor and the Chinese empire!" ”

The young man next to him also shouted loudly: "Chief Li, you must let me join the army, I will kill foreign devils and avenge my eldest brother, second brother, and third brother!" Defend our Chinese empire from the invasion of foreigners! ”

The lieutenant said urgently: "Uncle Tian, how can this be done!" Uncle, you already have 3 sons who have died, and 1 son is serving in the navy, no matter what the younger son says, he can't join the army anymore, in case ......"

Uncle Tian held the urn of his second son, and said categorically: "The rise and fall of the country is the responsibility of the husband, although my surname Tian has no culture, but this truth is still understood, I was also a member of the Lao Huai Army, and the Japanese have been fighting bloody battles from Yalu River Province to Beijing City, and now the foreign devils have committed my Chinese Empire, although my Lao Tian can no longer go into battle to kill the enemy, but my Lao Tian has 5 sons, they should, must also fight for the country for me, even if they all sacrificed their lives for the country, I Lao Tian also admitted!" There is absolutely no complaint! ”

The lieutenant couldn't help but say in awe: "Uncle Tian, the four words of loyalty and martyrdom are given to your old Tian family, and they definitely deserve it!" I will convey your request to my superiors! ”

In this war, there are not a few families like Uncle Tian, and there are many family members of officers and soldiers who have died in battle, and the requirements put forward to the troops are strikingly similar, and they all hope that the elder brother or younger brother of the fallen martyrs can take over the martyrs' guns and continue to participate in this war to protect their families and defend the country.

Now the total strength of the Royal Army of the Chinese Empire has exceeded 7.2 million, the Royal Army has nearly one million personnel, and the Royal Air Force also has hundreds of thousands of officers and soldiers, but the Chinese Empire still has a huge number of reservists, and the reservists of the Royal Army alone, although they have been expanded many times, still have nearly 30 million people, so the war potential of the Chinese Empire is still very huge, and if necessary, it is not a big problem to quadruple the total strength of the army.
