Adriano was most surprised that the Hood had suffered such a heavy blow, that the Huaxia battleship had inflicted a heavy blow on the most powerful battleship of the British Empire fifteen kilometers away, and that it was a kind of mysterious meteor, which was simply incredible.

At the same time that the Hood suffered heavy damage, the Martian ship was also baptized by rockets, the bow was hit by a rocket, the bow main gun turret was blown up on the spot, and the fuel that was not burned out in the rockets was all over the deck, burning violently on the deck, thick smoke billowed and flames soared into the sky.

Adriano roared frantically: "Retreat, retreat at full speed." ”

Rogerst shouted on the side: "We can't retreat, rush up and sink the Huaxia battleship!" ”

"Mr. Rogers, are you crazy? The range of weapons and equipment used by the Huaxia battleships far exceeds the guns of our battleships, and if we continue to attack, we will be sent to death! Adriano roared loudly, and Rogers, frightened by Adriano's appearance, said sneeringly, "Alright then, let's retreat." ”

Adriano picked up the microphone of the Blue Bird machine, "Battleships, retreat, retreat immediately!" ”

The six battleships turned their course together and sailed into the distance, and on the Xia ship, Captain Duan Shuai decisively ordered after discovering that the enemy ship was trying to escape: "All turn around and sink all six British battleships." ”

"Wait." Duan Shuai was talking, Lin Fei suddenly spoke on the side, Duan Shuai hurriedly ran to Lin Fei, saluted and asked, "Your Majesty, what do you command?" ”

"Don't sink the British warships, let them go!"

"What are you talking about, let go of the warships of the British, how can this work?" Duan Shuai frowned, the British are the great enemies of China, how could His Majesty want to let them go?

Lin Fei said with a smile: "Although Britain is our enemy, but Britain is not our mortal enemy after all, we don't need to kill them, if we do things too much, it will stimulate Britain and let them fight to the death with us." Our rockets have wounded the British ships and have already dealt them a heavy blow. ”

Duan Shuai was still talking, Lin Fei smiled and said, "Okay, don't say more, now return to Phu Quoc Island immediately, we will recover Phu Quoc Island." ”

"Yes, Your Majesty!" Duan Shuai sent a message, and the Huaxia warships no longer chased after them, but turned to the waters of Phu Quoc Island.

At the same time, on the Hood ship, all the sailors breathed a sigh of relief when they saw that the Huaxia battleship was no longer pursuing.

Adriano said gloomily to Rogers, "Mr. Special Envoy, please be sure to convey this to the Governor, asking him to put pressure on Congress to devote more resources to the development of a new warship. ”

"Your navy needs more resources, and there are enough resources for you." Rogers' tone was tinged with dissatisfaction, and it was true that Britain had invested a lot of resources in the navy, and both the Army and Congress had a lot of opinions.

"Mr. Special Envoy, our 'fully armed heavy artillery battleship' is designed to have a range of ten kilometers, and the system that can achieve this range is still under development, and today, you have also seen that the brand-new battleships of the Chinese people can already kill us at fifteen kilometers, and it is necessary for us to increase the range to twenty kilometers, and to increase the range, of course, we need more resources......"

Adriano gushed endlessly, although Rogers couldn't understand it, but he could also hear the urgency of the situation from a few numbers, and he nodded heavily, "I understand, I will definitely mention this matter to the Governor of Singapore in person." ”

Adriano led the remnants of the fleet and fled to Singapore in a hurry, and as for the more than 2,000 British troops on Phu Quoc, they had to be saved by God.

Lin Fei led the warships to rendezvous with the landing group, and on the evening of 28 June, launched a landing operation on Phu Quoc Island.

Before the landing operation, Lin Fei ordered the Dynasty-class battleships and the Emperor-class cruisers to launch a covering artillery bombardment on Phu Quoc Island, of course, Lin Fei particularly emphasized that it is strictly forbidden to use rockets to launch ground attacks, rockets are expensive things, and the money for one can make a hundred shells, how can it be wasted on a group of infantry.

Although the Dynasty-class battleships had only six 280-millimeter guns, thanks to the advanced fire control system, they fired with high accuracy, and they hit fixed targets on the islands -- the barracks built by the British were almost accurate at a time, and every time the guns went down, a British barracks would turn into a sea of fire.

The fire coverage lasted for ten minutes, and the British troops on the island raised the white flag, and Lin Fei immediately ordered to stop the shelling, let people go to the island, and accept the surrender of the British army.

At 10 o'clock in the evening of June 28, all the British troops on Phu Quoc Island surrendered, but Lin Fei did not embarrass them, took them back to his camp, imprisoned them, and released them back to China in the future.

On June 30, the British envoy Rogest rushed to Hue and asked to see Lin Fei, Lin Fei sneered, "Rogers must have come to provoke me, I will see him, come and bring Rogest to me." ”

Rogerst soon came to Lin Fei's face, what Lin Fei didn't expect was that Rogerst actually changed his previous arrogant attitude, and said to Lin Fei with a pleasant face: "Mr. Lin Fei, our British Empire wants to sign an agreement with you, we promise not to interfere with your occupation of the Indochina Peninsula, and in return, you must promise not to attack Siam and Burma." ”

Lin Fei was shocked on the spot after hearing Rogers' words, the British actually betrayed the interests of the French allies and gave up the whole of Vietnam, Laos and Cambodia to themselves.

At this time, Lin Fei did not know that the naval battle on June 28 had completely changed Britain's attitude towards the Chinese Empire, and after this battle, the British realized that Lin Fei's Chinese Empire was not so easy to deal with, and if they wanted to strangle the Chinese Empire, they needed to adopt better methods.

And what needs to be done now is to stabilize Lin Fei and prevent him from attacking Siam and Burma, Siam is part of the British sphere of influence, and Burma is the "big gold mine" of Britain in Asia, saying that Burma is a "big gold mine", not that it is really rich in gold, but that it is extremely rich here, and imports a large amount of grain, ore and other raw materials for Britain every year, and is second only to India in importance among Asian colonies.

In order to keep Burma and Siam, Britain asked Lin Fei to sign an agreement, and Lin Fei readily agreed, because after Lin Fei occupied Vietnam, Laos and Cambodia, he had to go north to Guangxi and Yunnan, which was originally the sphere of influence of the French, but the French army was defeated, and the French power was wiped out, and Lin Fei naturally wanted to swallow and take Guangxi and Yunnan.

Lin Fei had no energy to attack Siam and Burma, and he was also worried that Britain would wait for an opportunity to send troops from Siam to attack him, so he signed the "Memorandum of Understanding between the Chinese Empire and the British Empire on the Ownership of the Indochina Peninsula" with the British, which stated that the British Empire respected the interests of the Chinese Empire in Vietnam, Laos and Cambodia, and the Chinese Empire respected the British interests in Siam and Burma.

In this treaty, there is a huge hidden danger, that is, there was a Lancang Kingdom in the history of Laos, and this Lancang Kingdom was divided into three parts, one is the Champasak Dynasty of Yuanfei, the other is the Luang Prabang Dynasty, and the other is the Vientiane Dynasty, at this time, the Vientiane Dynasty has been annexed by Siam, Lin Fei will definitely recover the Vientiane Dynasty, and the British will definitely not give up, this contradiction cannot be reconciled.

This laid the groundwork for the second Indochina crisis!

The signing of the Sino-British Memorandum marked the official end of the first Indochina Peninsula crisis, this crisis, the biggest loss of interests was the French, Lin Fei through several battles, almost expelled all the French forces in the Indochina Peninsula, which made the French people and big capitalists extremely dissatisfied, under heavy pressure, the French president was forced to dissolve the cabinet, and re-organize, the new government, in order to cater to the people, is about to take unprecedented tough measures against the Chinese Empire.

The British stopped interfering, and Lin Fei began to put the finishing touches on the Indochina Peninsula, and the first thing to solve was the Luang Prabang Dynasty, Lin Fei sent a force into the city of Luang Prabang, found the king, and declared that the Luang Prabang Dynasty officially became a vassal state of the Chinese Empire.

The Luang Prabang dynasty was actually similar to the Champasak dynasty, both of which were not accustomed to without a suzerain, so they readily agreed.

Lin Fei immediately began to build in Laos and Cambodia, and according to his previous expectations, Lin Fei built a large number of hydropower stations in Laos and a large number of wood processing centers in Cambodia.

To build these things, it is necessary to have roads and railways as support, so Lin Fei built a large number of railways and roads in Laos and Cambodia.

Unfortunately, in the process of construction, Lin Fei did not have advanced construction machinery, so the construction speed was quite slow.

The development and construction were also arranged, Lin Fei planned to move to Hanoi, where he commanded the encroachment of Guangxi and Yunnan, and before leaving Hue, Lin Fei also had to deal with one person, that is, Concubine Yuan.

During this time, Concubine Yuan had been living with Ruan Fubaojiao, and Concubine Yuan thanked Lin Fei for saving her life, so she was very polite to Lin Fei.

After all, Concubine Yuan's identity is special, and she has a good mind and strategy, Lin Fei didn't dare to leave her in Hue, so he decided to send her back to Dayu City.

Concubine Yuan expressed her desire to become a nun to Lin Fei, Lin Fei agreed to her request, and asked people to find a nunnery in Dayu City (Buddhism is prevalent in Nanyang area, and there are many nunnery), and sent Concubine Yuan in, but the old nun of the nunnery shook her head gloomily when she saw Concubine Yuan, saying that Concubine Yuan's fate was not finished, and she should not be left to practice, so Concubine Yuan took the nunnery to practice.

As for what Lao Ni said, "the fate of the dust is not over", Concubine Yuan knew very well in her heart that she and Ruan Fuzhao had been married for five years, and she had never enjoyed a woman's pleasure, she learned about Lin Fei from the mouths of Yu Ningshuang and Ruan Fu Baojiao, and was full of expectations for Lin Fei......
