At this meeting, which took place on 2 November, known in history as the "112 Conference," the 18-nation coalition finally showed some unity and prepared to launch a new attack on China under the pressure of the Huaxia army on the Qing State step by step.

The first to do it is the United Kingdom, which claims to be the boss of the Eighteen-Nation Alliance, and now Japan and Russia have sent troops to fight bloody battles with the Chinese army, and even the Mongol Empire has sent cavalry, and it will be too unreasonable for Britain to send troops.

At this time, Britain had already prepared a "multinational coalition army" in Burma, this multinational coalition army, including the Spanish army, the Portuguese army, and the Dutch army, these three countries are Lin Fei's feud countries, Spain naturally needless to say, Lin Fei fought them when he started, Lin Fei attacked and snatched the Philippines alive.

Needless to say, Sulawesi, Java and Sumatra were originally Dutch territories, and Lin Fei snatched these territories from the Dutch.

As for Portugal, he also hated Lin Fei so much, Portugal originally occupied Macao in the Qing Kingdom, but as soon as Lin Fei sent troops, he drove away all the Portuguese entrenched in Macao, and the Portuguese originally had colonies in the east of Java Island, but under Lin Fei's plan to open up Australia, they were also taken away.

These three countries are all old colonial empires, but unfortunately at this time they are no longer the courage of the past, and they have no strength to organize a fleet, so they came to the Qing State thousands of miles to fight against the Chinese army, so they resorted to the power of the British.

This three-nation coalition army, with a total strength of about 20,000 troops, of which Spain and the Netherlands each have 8,000 troops, and Portugal has only 4,000 troops, and this force is about to attack Yunnan through the border between Burma and Yunnan.

On the border between Yunnan and Myanmar, there are dense tropical rainforests everywhere, as well as high mountain rapids, the geographical conditions are very complicated, not only the geographical conditions are complicated, the situation of the residents is more complicated, there are many ethnic minorities here, although they are all subject to the Qing State, but the Qing State is very weak in their control, they are basically in a state of their own right.

The control of the Chinese army on the border between Yunnan and Burma is also very average, and the Chinese army is in important cities, such as Dali, Pu'er, Shunning, etc., if the British use a trick to "surround the city with the countryside", wantonly buy the surrounding natives, and besiege important cities, then the Chinese army will be extremely passive.

Moreover, the Huaxia Army does not have many troops in these cities, and its combat effectiveness is not strong, and it is the Western Front of the Huaxia Army stationed in Yunnan, and the army commander is Qi Lei, and Qi Lei has gathered all the main forces on the border between Yunnan and Sichuan, and the defense near the Burmese side is completely empty, and what is even more dangerous is that Lin Fei did not expect that the British would launch an attack from Burma.

On 6 November, the multinational force set out from Burma, passed through high mountains and mountains, and approached Pu'er, an important town in Yunnan, and then launched an attack on Pu'er, where the Huaxia army had only more than 300 men and knew that it could not resist the attack of the multinational force, so it could only make a strategic retreat.

Before the Huaxia army retreated, it was worried that the enemy army would massacre the Pu'er people, so they withdrew 50,000 people in the city together, which avoided a massacre.

On 9 November, the news of the multinational force's capture of Pu'er was delivered to Lin Fei.

Lin Fei was shocked when he saw the news, and slapped the newspaper on the table, startling Xiyun beside him, Xiyun hurriedly asked, "Husband, what's wrong with you?" ”

"The British suddenly sent troops from Burma and occupied Pu'er, Yunnan, I never thought that the British would send troops from Burma, you know, the border between Burma and Yunnan is full of inaccessible tropical rainforests, and the British can attack from there."

At this moment, there was a knock on the door, and one of Lin Fei's subordinates walked in with a telegram, handed the telegram to Xiyun, and said, "Secretary-General, this is a telegram from the British Empire. ”

Xiyun hurriedly handed it over to Lin Fei, but Lin Fei didn't take it, but said, "You can read it to me." ”

Xiyun unfolded the telegram and said: "Yesterday, our British Imperial army conquered the city of Pu'er under the control of the Huaxia Army, and expelled all the Huaxia troops in the city......

Xiyun stopped reading this, put the telegram on the table, and said angrily: "There is still a personal abuse of your husband, I won't read it." ”

"What a big British." Lin Fei said hatefully, his eyes narrowed at the same time, staring at the front, Xiyun knew that Lin Fei was trying to find a way to clean up the British, so he didn't speak.

Xiyun didn't expect that Lin Fei suddenly looked at her and asked, "How do you say we should clean up the British?" ”

Xiyun was stunned for a moment, "Isn't Hong Kong still in the hands of the British, or should we take Hong Kong back?" ”

"Hong Kong is now a small and inconspicuous port, and it is useless to take it back." Lin Fei is right, Hong Kong at this time is far from being prosperous in Lin Fei's era, and the current Hong Kong is just a small military port, but it is surrounded by the Chinese army, and British warships dare not come over, so Hong Kong at this time is very desolate.

However, Xiyun didn't know what Hong Kong was like in Lin Fei's time, and asked in surprise: "Husband, why do you say that Hong Kong is an inconspicuous small port 'now'. ”

"It's nothing, I just want to say, we don't clean up the British in Hong Kong, let's change places."

"If you change places, it's Pu'er, the British have occupied Pu'er, and we have to take it back."

"To take it back is to take it back, but it doesn't hurt the British to beat it like this, think about it again, where to fight?"

Xiyun thought for a while and said, "Can we fight Singapore?" "Singapore is the only British stronghold in the South Seas, it is located on the Malay Peninsula, and the whole Malay Peninsula is still British.

Lin Fei nodded, "I will fight Singapore sooner or later, but not now, Singapore is a military fortress painstakingly operated by the British, and it must be difficult to attack it, think about it again, is there any other place?" ”

Xiyun shook his head slightly, "Then I can't think of it." ”

Lin Fei pointed to the map with his hand and said with a smile: "Let's fight here, Myanmar!" ”

"Fight Burma?"

"Yes, it is Burma, at this time Britain has two major colonies in Asia, the largest one is India, the second largest is Burma, at this time Burma exported a large amount of grain and ore for Britain, it can be called the granary and mine of Britain in Asia, we hit Burma, it is bound to deal a heavy blow to Britain."

"Attacking Burma, it's not good!" Xiyun exclaimed, "Husband, didn't you say that the border between Myanmar and Yunnan is a tropical rainforest, and the tropical rainforest is not suitable for the use of soldiers?" ”

"That's right, if we attack Burma from Yunnan, it's really not easy to fight, but if we attack Burma from the sea, won't there be no problem at all?"

"But wasn't your previous strategy a defensive strategy against Burma?"

"Now the situation is different, we have forced all the Qing court to the top of the mountain, with the ability of the Qing court, it is absolutely impossible to counterattack us, it's time for us to make some strong attacks, where is Qin Hui now?"

"Qin Hui led the hell-class submarine to be stationed in the country of Aceh." Aceh is the northernmost region of Sumatra, this area was originally ruled by the Dutch, but they always wanted independence, during the First Nanyang World War, the Acehnese were considered allies of the Chinese army, after the end of the First Nanyang World War, Lin Fei allowed Aceh to become independent.

Aceh is strategically located, it is the territory of China, the closest to Myanmar, so Lin Fei and the king of Aceh discussed, lease the port of Aceh as a military port, Aceh is an agricultural country, industry and commerce are not developed, the king of Aceh felt that it was useless to keep the port, so he leased the port to Lin Fei at the price of cabbage.

"Very good, arrange a call for me immediately, I will personally give Qin Hui an order."

Xiyun immediately went to prepare, and it didn't take long for Qin Hui's voice to ring on the phone: "Your Majesty, what do you command?" ”

"Qin Hui, now that the British have sent troops from Burma and captured the city of Pu'er in Yunnan, I am very angry, and the consequences are serious, now I order you to use wolf packs to fight against the British in Burma!"

The wolf pack tactic is a tactic that Qin Hui often suggests to Lin Fei, and the core idea of this tactic is to put a number of hell-class submarines and monster-class submarines on the enemy's communication line, and then launch torpedoes to sink the enemy's merchant ships, causing huge panic to the enemy.

Qin Hui even had a crazy plan, that is, to use the Hell-class submarine to sail across the Indian Ocean, enter the Atlantic, and sneak attack merchant ships on the British mainland.

Lin Fei was very surprised by Qin Hui's ideas, because these ideas were already very close to the tactics of his own era, the former was completely a copy of the German submarine tactics during World War I and World War II, and the latter was almost the use of strategic missile nuclear submarines.

In fact, many ideas of people in this era can coincide with those of Lin Fei's era, and Lin Gecheng, the commander of the airship unit, also thought of a way to parachute troops.

However, Qin Hui's idea could not be realized, because the endurance of the hell-class submarine was limited, only about 4,000 nautical miles at an economic speed, which was not enough to sail to the British mainland, and there was only one way to sail to the British mainland, that is, to set up a naval base between the United Kingdom and China to replenish fuel at any time.
