Yu Bing and Qin Hui muttered quietly for a while, and the second group of visitors also came out of the cabin, Qin Hui suddenly realized that this visit should let the Commander-in-Chief of the Air Force, Lin Gecheng, come here, and he should be able to see more things when he looks at the final-class battleship.

The visit lasted for a day, at noon, Admiral Stanley let Qin Hui and everyone have lunch on the warship, the lunch was very rich, there were fresh meat, vegetables and fruits, the logistics support capability of the final-class battleship was obviously better than the previous British battleship, the logistics support capability was improved, the combat effectiveness of the troops would naturally be improved, and the combat effectiveness of the final-class battleship should be stronger than the previous British battleship.

During the visit, Admiral Stanleys, who was most interested in the fire control compartment and power compartment, did not let him in, these were the core secrets of the British, so naturally they would not let the people of the Chinese Empire visit.

After the visit to the final battleship, Admiral Stanley arranged for Qin Hui and others to visit the port, including the achievements of economic development, local customs and attractions, Calcutta in India, Indian style is strong, and there are many scenic spots.

Admiral Stanley also prepared a "democratic society exhibition" with ulterior motives, focusing on the "democratic achievements" of Britain, since Lin Fei carried out an iron-fisted suppression of the domestic democrats, the democratic forces of the Chinese Empire have been slumped, and there is no longer climate.

The tour lasted for three days, and Qin Hui returned to the Chinese Empire with his people, and Admiral Stanley was delighted, feeling that his goal of intimidating the Chinese Empire by displaying the final class battleships had been achieved.

Half a month later, on April 6, 1905, Admiral Stanley led a fleet of four final-class battleships to Burma, and at the same time, the British ambassador of Dayu City formally submitted his credentials to the Chinese Empire, asking the Chinese Empire to open Burmese ports for British use and trade, and proposed to the Chinese Empire the ownership of three oil fields in southern Burma.

During this period of time, Lin Fei has been worried about Japan's surrender, it stands to reason that Japan's domestic economy is on the verge of collapse, and the United States has given up its support for Japan, Japan has no way out, only surrender, and in the last meeting, Japan has already shown the intention of surrendering, but I didn't expect that overnight, the situation reversed, and Japan's surrender was much weaker.

Lin Fei didn't understand why Japan behaved like this, but now that he saw the British ambassador's credentials, he finally understood Japan's plan, and Japan wanted to wait for Britain to defeat the Chinese Empire and get better bargaining chips at the negotiating table.

Lin Fei sneered, what a Japan, wishful thinking is really good, in this case, I will defeat the British fleet and completely ruin your thoughts.

Lin Fei did not directly order the aircraft carrier fleet to strike at the British fleet, which seemed too unreasonable for Lin Fei, so Lin Fei sent a diplomatic note to the British ambassador, saying that he could sell the right to use the Burmese oil fields and allow the British to come to exploit them, but Britain wanted to lease Ceylon Island to the Chinese Empire.

Ceylon Island, that is, Sri Lanka in Lin Fei's era, is an important island in southeastern India, and it is an excellent military base, if Lin Fei takes Ceylon Island in his hands, he can use Ceylon Island as a base to enter the Middle East.

At this time, the Chinese Empire already had the strength to enter the Middle East, over the years, with Lin Fei's secret support, Saudi Arabia's Prince Ibrahim inherited his father's throne, and through marriage, alliances and other means, controlled several other big chiefs in Saudi Arabia, Lin Fei can enter the Middle East at this time, buy the land where the oil field is located, and wait until the right time to exploit.

Lin Fei entered the Middle East, the British in India were the only obstacles, and it was impossible for Lin Fei to drive away the British in India, because the British had been operating in India for hundreds of years and had very deep roots, and India itself was a scattered country, and Lin Fei did not want to use the power of the Chinese Empire to occupy it, which would be a great loss of the national strength of the Chinese Empire.

Lin Fei's strategy for India was to occupy a piece of land as a transit base and military port, and leave the mess in India to the British to clean up.

Lin Fei's request was sent to the hands of the British Ambassador, the British Ambassador categorically refused, the British Ambassador's reason for refusal is reasonable, Ceylon has always been the territory of the British Empire, your Chinese Empire has no reason to get involved, and Ceylon Island is an important base of our British Empire, and we will definitely not lease it to your country.

Nguyen Phuc Bao Jiao, Minister of Foreign Affairs of the Chinese Empire, told the British ambassador: "If your country wants to use the oil fields and ports of Burma, then you must lease Ceylon to us, otherwise there is no possibility of discussing this matter." ”

The British ambassador expressed his incomprehension of the intransigence of the Chinese Empire, "Ms. Nguyen Phuc Bao Jiao, the oil fields in Burma have been explored by our British Empire, and we have purchased the ownership of the oil fields from the Burmese royal family, and it is reasonable for us to ask for the oil fields back. ”

The British ambassador was very confident in their final-class battleships, but Nguyen Phuc Bao Jiao was even more confident in his own aircraft, so Nguyen Phuc Bao Jiao smiled and said: "Your country wants to solve this matter by force, and we are not afraid at all." ”

The British ambassador returned to the British Embassy and was very surprised by Nguyen Phuc Baojiao's performance, and the British ambassador complained to his subordinates: "We have already shown the people of the Huaxia Empire the final class battleships, they already know that we are strong, how dare they be so tough on us?" ”

The British ambassador's subordinates were also like him, believing that the battleship was the most powerful weapon of naval warfare, and aircraft carriers and aircraft could not defeat it at all, and they were all surprised, and at the same time, they also laughed at the Chinese Empire a little more, they believed that in the upcoming war, the final class battleships would definitely crush the aircraft carriers of the Chinese Empire like crushing eggs.

On 20 April, the British Final-class battleship suddenly stopped a merchant ship of the Chinese Empire and arrested its personnel, who claimed that the personnel on board were spies of the Chinese Empire and that their actions had harmed the interests of the British Empire.

This move was undoubtedly a declaration of war on the Chinese Empire, and Lin Fei certainly could not tolerate such an act by the British, so Lin Fei ordered four aircraft carriers to go to the waters of Burma to annihilate the four British final-class battleships and the fleet with the final-class battleships as the core.

The Chinese Imperial Aircraft Carrier Fleet, with Liu Daming as commander and Ringo as commander of the air force, rushed to the waters near Burma on 25 April.

Lin Gecheng ordered a Nine Dragons fighter plane to take off to reconnoiter and look for the British fleet, due to the increasing intensity of the naval battle, the hot air balloon and the hot air balloon mother ship have gradually withdrawn from the Chinese Imperial Fleet, and the reconnaissance task shouldered by the aircraft is shouldered.

The pilot who flew the Nine Flying Dragon fighter plane to take off and fight was none other than Liu Jingkong, deputy commander-in-chief of the Chinese Imperial Air Force; because the Chinese Imperial plane had just stepped onto the stage of war, Lin Gecheng and Liu Jingkong, senior officers, could not wait to get through the "flying addiction" and went into battle one after another.

The altitude and speed of the plane are incomparable to that of hot air balloons, so the search speed is very fast, and Liu Jingkong quickly saw the fleet on the sea, four behemoths, which are the final battleships, in addition to four smaller cruisers.

Although Liu Jingkong saw the British fleet from a distance, he did not return immediately, but flew towards the British fleet, intending to take a closer look at the final-class battleship, Qin Hui once reported that the final-class battleship had no anti-aircraft guns on it, and it could not hurt the planes in the sky at all, so Liu Jingkong had nothing to fear.

Liu Jingkong gradually approached the British fleet, the battleship became clearer and clearer, and even the people walking on the battleship Liu Jingkong could see it clearly, suddenly, Liu Jingkong saw a fire shot out of a final-class battleship, and then several rays of light flew towards Liu Jingkong, Liu Jingkong was shocked and hurriedly pulled up the plane.

The Nine Flying Dragon fighter jumped up in the roar of the engine, and at the same time, the British battleship on the sea burst out with dazzling fire, and countless cannonballs swaying red shot into the sky, Liu Jingkong hurriedly turned around and fled from the British battleship.

Liu Jingkong was far away from the British fleet, frightened, rushed back to the aircraft carrier, and after landing, the technicians inspected the Nine Flying Dragon fighters, and found that there were several more bullet holes in the tail and tail parts, fortunately, these bullet holes did not cause major damage to the body.

The technicians were stunned, "How can there be bullet holes in the tail and tail fuselage?" ”

"Because British battleships have anti-aircraft guns, these bullet holes are made by anti-aircraft guns."

Liu Jingkong's words were like water poured into an oil pot, and the people nearby exploded, and everyone discussed: "Didn't you say that the British fleet had no anti-aircraft guns, what is going on?" ”

Liu Jingkong waved his hand, stopped everyone's discussion, and said: "We must have fallen for the tricks of the British, okay, don't say more, immediately repair the bullet holes in the fuselage." ”

Liu Jingkong asked the technician to repair the plane, and then came to the combat command room, came to see Liu Daming and Lin Gecheng, and said that the British final-class battleship had anti-aircraft guns, Liu Daming and Lin Gecheng were shocked at first, but quickly regained their composure, Liu Daming asked Lin Gecheng: "The British final-class battleship has anti-aircraft guns, how should this battle be fought?" ”

Lin Ge was confident and said confidently: "Don't worry, this battle will definitely be fine."
