Britain understood that if they did not come up with a decent victory, the entire Eighteen-Nation Coalition would collapse completely, and the British Empire would be disgraced.

On 10 December, the British fleet left the port of Calcutta and headed for the Chinese Empire.

The reason why the British Royal Navy dared to come out of the port of Calcutta was not because they had mastered the anti-submarine weapon -- sonar, but because they felt that it was really difficult for a few submarines to find a few warships on the vast ocean, and in addition, British warships were generally equipped with electromagnetic wave detection devices, and it was no longer possible for the submarines of the Chinese Empire to let surface ships help them discover their targets.

At the same time that the British fleet left the port of Calcutta, the German fleet also left the port, but instead of going to the Chinese Empire, they went to Sri Lanka, a large island southeast of India, a strategically important island in the Indian Ocean, and the German fleet seemed to want to take advantage of the opportunity to occupy the island.

Lin Fei did not know the news that the British fleet rushed to the Chinese Empire, because Lin Fei did not have his own intelligence network in India at all, Lin Fei's current intelligence network can only cover Japan and South Korea, the United States has some, and the intelligence network of European countries originally relied on the embassies of various countries, but after the outbreak of World War II, a large number of diplomats were expelled, and Lin Fei's intelligence network was greatly damaged.

The closest to Calcutta in the territory of the Chinese Empire was the province of Sumatra, and it took at least half a month for the British fleet to arrive, during which time the French "plan for the Vietnamese uprising" began.

At the beginning, Isinlovsky wanted to get Concubine Yuan out of China and regard Concubine Yuan as the leader of the rebellion in Vietnam, but in fact, Concubine Yuan was only the second choice of the anti-China camp, and the first choice was Nguyen Phuc Zhao himself.

On December 15, Lin Fei had just gotten up, and Ling Xue and Baojiao beside him were still asleep, their faces flushed with happiness.

Lin Fei got dressed, went downstairs and sat at the dining table, ready to have breakfast, and then deal with government affairs, at this moment, suddenly Xiyun rushed in and said in a panic: "Husband, it's not good." ”

Lin Fei smiled and asked, "What happened?" ”

"Nguyen Phuc Zhao, Nguyen Phuc Zhao, he ran away."

Lin Fei was taken aback, and hurriedly asked, "Why did Ruan Fuzhao run away?" ”

"It's still unclear, this morning, Nguyen Phuc Zhao suddenly disappeared."

Lin Fei slapped the table heavily and said angrily: "What's going on with the palace guards, how can they let Ruan Fuzhao run away, don't they know how important Ruan Fuzhao is?" ”

Xiyun hurriedly persuaded: "Husband, don't be angry, let's think about what to do now." ”

Lin Fei pondered for a moment and said: "Order the palace guards, all of them go out, looking for Nguyen Phuc Zhao, Ruan Phuc Zhao's run, must be to find the rebel organization, there is about to be a big rebellion in Vietnam, order all the troops of the Vietnam Military Region to enter the first level of war readiness." ”

"Okay." Xiyun immediately went to make a phone call, and at this moment, Ling Xue came down from the upper floor wrapped in a white bath towel, with a lazy face, her snow-white shoulders exposed, and her long black hair scattered on her shoulders, which was extremely charming.

Ling Xue yawned and said, "What are you arguing about, waking everyone up." ”

Xiyun glanced at Ling Xue and said coquettishly: "Sister Xue, people get up early to work, but you just got up. ”

Ling Xue sneered: "If you didn't do it for you last night, who can you blame now." ”

Xiyun's face flushed, and she turned her head to make a phone call, Ling Xue moved softly to the edge of the table, half-knelt on the table, and said weakly: "Brother, what are we going to eat in the morning?" ”

At this time, a servant woman came over with a plate of steamed buns and put the buns on the table, Ling Xue saw the steamed buns, and immediately "resurrected with full blood", grabbed a big munch, and asked while eating, "What were you arguing about just now?" ”

Lin Fei let out a long sigh and told Ruan Fuzhao about his escape, Ling Xue thought for a while and asked, "Who is Ruan Fuzhao?" ”

Lin Fei smiled helplessly, at this time, Ling Xue was all focused on academic research, especially the development of computers, and did not care about international affairs, Lin Fei did not explain anything to her, but just urged her to "hurry up and eat".

Ling Xue ate two steamed buns, drank another bowl of porridge, and said with a smile: "I'm going to the laboratory, and now the Zero Snow Project has reached the most critical stage." "It is now December 1901, and Ling Xue came back in June of 1901, and after more than three years, there has finally been a breakthrough in the development of computers.

Ling Xue went to change her clothes, and at this time, Ruan Fu Baojiao, who was neatly dressed, held on to the handrail of the stairs and slowly walked down the stairs, Lin Fei said directly to Ruan Fu Baojiao: "Ruan Fu Zhao escaped. ”

Ruan Fu Baojiao was not surprised, "Ruan Fu Zhao has been thinking about running away, and the Westerners have always wanted to use him, and now that he has escaped, there is nothing to be surprised about." ”

"Since Nguyen Phuc Zhao has escaped, I plan to let you go back and be the queen of Vietnam, what do you think?"

"No, master, you can just turn Vietnam into a province of the Chinese Empire." Ruan Fu Baojiao had completely surrendered to Lin Fei from body to heart at this time, and stood on Lin Fei's position no matter what.

Lin Fei hesitated and hesitated: "Is it okay to directly turn Vietnam into a province of our Huaxia Empire, isn't it okay?" ”

"Of course, master, don't hesitate, when the leaders of Vietnam ask you for independent status in the future, you will be extremely passive, it is better to take advantage of the opportunity of Nguyen Phuc Zhao's escape now, turn Vietnam into a province of our Chinese Empire, and never suffer in the future."

"Very good, what you said makes a lot of sense, Xiyun, come over here." Xiyun had just finished making a phone call at this time, and after conveying Lin Fei's order, he returned to Lin Fei's face, "Husband, what are your orders?" ”

"You immediately send an order to the palace guards, telling them that within twenty-four hours, if you can't find Nguyen Phuc Zhao, announce to the public that Nguyen Phuc Zhao has died of illness, doesn't Nguyen Phuc Zhao have two concubines, what is the name of the concubine, I can't remember clearly, let the two of them commit suicide, martyrdom for Nguyen Phuc Zhao, and by the way, inform the Governor of Vietnam, and prepare for the governor to change the governor into a governor."

"Understood." Xi Yun went to convey the order again, Lin Fei did this with "sinister" intentions, he just wanted to confuse the Vietnamese and make them think that Nguyen Phuc Zhao was dead, and any pretense of Nguyen Phuc Zhao by the "rebel army" was an impostor.

At this time, Lin Fei had many things in front of him, including the development of a new generation of artillery fighting vehicles, the development of infantry fighting vehicles, the development of inland river gunboats, and so on, as well as the establishment of an industrial base in Northeast China.

In Lin Fei's era, the Northeast is an important industrial base in China, the Northeast is rich in oil, the Liaohe Plain Oilfield, Daqing Oilfield, are all extra-large oilfields, with oil, metal metallurgy has energy, the chemical industry has raw materials, Lin Fei began to deploy exploration teams and so on, and so on next spring, the weather warms, and then oil exploration begins.

The next day, on December 16, the Vietnamese palace guards sent a message that they had searched all the places around the palace and found no trace of Nguyen Phuc Zhao.

Lin Fei then ordered to announce the news of Ruan Phuc Zhao's illness and death, and let Ruan Fu Zhao's two concubines give him a funeral.

The news was soon announced, and the news caused quite a stir in Vietnam, and a number of old and young people of the great Vietnamese empire were in agony.

What was even more surprising was the French, the French originally planned to use Ruan Phuc Zhao as a cover, but they didn't expect Lin Fei to announce that Ruan Phuc Zhao was dead, which inevitably greatly reduced the effect of the French plan.

On December 17, a rebellion broke out around the southern Vietnamese city of Saigon, and the rebel army attacked the town government of a small town under the jurisdiction of Saigon, killing all Vietnamese and Chinese officials, killing 60 people.

The Saigon garrison immediately dispatched to pursue this rebel army, but what the Saigon garrison never expected was that this rebel army actually came to an ambush on the garrison on the way to retreat, resulting in the death of 40 Chinese Imperial soldiers and the wounding of more than 30 Chinese Imperial soldiers.

The news was reported to Lin Fei, and Lin Fei was furious, it was unreasonable that a mere rebel army could kill forty elite soldiers of the Huaxia Empire and injure more than thirty soldiers.

Lin Fei reprimanded the commander of the Vietnamese Military Region on the phone, but he didn't expect the commander of the Vietnam Military Region to tell Lin Fei aggrievedly: "This rebel army is definitely not a simple rebel army, their marksmanship is extremely accurate, their military literacy is extremely strong, and they are simply a special force with special training." ”

Lin Fei's first reaction was that this rebel army was sent by the British, so he asked, "Are the people in this army Westerners?" ”

"Not Westerners, judging from their appearance, they are all from the territory of the Chinese Peninsula." The territory of the Huaxia Peninsula is the countries of the Indochina Peninsula, including Vietnam, Laos and Cambodia.

Lin Fei was surprised for a while, and immediately ordered: "Grab a few tongues for me and interrogate them for me." ”

The next day, December 18, a group called the "Vietnamese Resistance Army" issued a public statement that the Emperor of the Vietnamese Empire, Nguyen Phuc Chao, had been rescued by them, and hoped that the Vietnamese people would stand up and drive out the people of the Chinese Empire.

This statement did not have any encouraging effect, and under Lin Fei's rule, the living standards of the Vietnamese people have greatly improved, so that they will not abandon their homes and jobs because of any slogan.

On December 20, the Huaxia Army captured several members of the rebel group, and after torture and interrogation, they confessed that they were all Vietnamese, exiled to Siam, where they received training, and were assigned by the French to return to Vietnam to fight.

Siam! Siam turned out to be a base for the subversion of the Chinese regime in Vietnam! (Canghai shared the writing story on the WeChat public platform, please search on WeChat - qietingcanghai, that is, listen to Canghai's pinyin, reply 2 to watch)
