In this way, the British fleet was completely annihilated, and Lin Fei only lost two Emperor-class cruisers and one Hell-class submarine, and the injured Hell-class submarine sank halfway because the damage could not be repaired, and all the crew withdrew.

Seeing that Singapore was without the protection of the British fleet, Lin Fei immediately ordered to gather all his forces and attack Singapore.

As soon as Lin Fei gave the order, the eight Dynasty-class battleships immediately approached Singapore and bombarded Singapore with heavy artillery.

Singapore is an excellent military port, Lin Fei wants to take this military port as his own, there are a large number of ship repair yards and auxiliary ships in the port, these are what Lin Fei wants, Lin Fei has these things, he no longer has to spend resources to build his own.

Lin Fei then ordered the Dynasty-class battleships to avoid those important military facilities when bombarding Singapore, and only bombarded civilian facilities in the city.

Lin Fei was not at all worried that the bombardment of civilian facilities would hurt innocents, because Singapore was full of British and Malays, and it turned out that there were many Chinese in Singapore, but the British were worried that the Chinese would collude with Lin Fei to make trouble and clean up all the Chinese.

As for how to cleanse it, the British didn't want to provoke Lin Fei too much, so all these Chinese were expelled from Singapore and were not killed, Singapore was not far from Sumatra, so these Chinese all went to Sumatra, which is equivalent to the British sending a batch of people to Lin Fei.

Beginning in April 1902, the Chinese warships carried out a non-stop bombardment of Singapore, one British barracks were destroyed after another, and one British office building after another was flattened.

Sir Timham knew that he could not hold Singapore, so he put the conditions for peace very low, as long as Lin Fei did not kill the defenders of Singapore and did not confiscate the property of the British, Sir Timham was willing to lead the defenders to surrender.

Lin Fei refused to Sir Rui Tianxian's request, and Lin Fei told Sir Rui Tianxian that I can not kill people, but property, except for the non-confiscation of the highest officials, other property is not allowed to be taken away.

Lin Fei wanted Singapore's wealth, but he was worried that the high-level would make up their minds to fight to the death and make him pay a huge price, so he used the method of "not confiscating the property of the high-level" to buy the high-level.

Singapore's high-level officials really hit the trick and immediately said that they were willing to agree to Lin Fei's conditions.

Lin Fei knew that Singapore had sent spies and secret workers to the Chinese Empire over the years, so Lin Fei asked Sir Rui Tianxian to hand over all the lists of these people, and Sir Rui Tianxian also agreed.

Lin Fei asked Sir Rui Tianxian if he knew about Princess Xia Xiang, the mysterious maid who had been working against Lin Fei, Sir Rui Tianxian nodded and told Lin Fei: "I've heard of her." ”

Lin Fei hurriedly asked: "Who is she, what is her origin, and which country's princess?" ”

Sir Rui Tianxian shook his head again, "I don't know about this, she has a close relationship with the French, and we contacted her through France, she should be a French princess, right?" ”

Lin Fei wanted to scold his mother at that time, how could Princess Xia Xiang be a French princess, she is Asian, how could the French royal family have an Asian daughter, not to mention that France had no king thirty years ago.

Seeing that he couldn't ask anything from Sir Rayham, Lin Fei stopped mentioning these things and helped several high-ranking officials such as Swiftham to transfer their personal belongings, and Sir Richham then announced his surrender.

On 16 April, Sir Shwe Timham announced his surrender, and on the same day, the Chinese Army entered Singapore, and the whole of Singapore was completely occupied by Lin Fei.

Lin Fei then repatriated more than 50,000 British troops, including Sir Shwetianham, and more than 30,000 British residents to Burma.

When the news reached the world, Britain was shocked that Singapore, the last stronghold of the British Empire in the Nanyang region, was now taken by Lin Fei, and the power of the British Empire withdrew from the Nanyang.

The British "Nanyang faction" demanded that the British government immediately organize an expeditionary force to retake the Nanyang, and the British "Nanyang faction" were capitalists with a large number of interests in the Nanyang region, while the "African faction" had huge interests in Africa and the "Middle East faction" had huge interests in the Middle East.

The ideas of the Nanyang faction were resisted by the Middle East and Africans, and if Britain sent more troops to the South Seas, it would inevitably further exacerbate the power vacuum in Africa and the Middle East, allowing Germany, Russia, and France to take advantage of the situation.

Each of these three factions has enormous wealth in its hands and can mobilize countless social resources, and the newspapers, as the guides of public opinion, will naturally not be let go of them, and the Africans and Middle Easterners have commented in the newspapers they control: "The British Empire should re-examine its policy toward China and change from antagonism to cooperation." "The Chinese Empire is a huge business opportunity, and we can't give it up."

Under the influence of the African and Middle Eastern factions, the British government was not inclined to send troops to the South Seas.

Among the British capitalists, in addition to the three factions, there were many factions that held wealth but could not find a place to invest, and these people were called "natives", who urgently needed to find new markets because the markets in Africa, the Middle East, and the South Seas had been carved up by the old capitalists.

The Chinese Empire has become a new market for them.

Lin Fei overthrew the Qing court, the original shackles were broken, and a new market with 400 million consumers appeared, how could the British capitalists not be eager to invest?

Because Lin Fei introduced American capital in the construction of railways, the United States had already made a lot of money in the Chinese Empire at this time, which made the British capitalists jealous, and the power of this group of capitalists was not small, under the influence of this group of capitalists, Britain began to show goodwill to the Chinese Empire, hoping to end the state of war.

Lin Fei saw that the British made this statement, so he decided to agree to end the state of war with the British, the reason why Lin Fei agreed to end the war was mainly because, after Malaya and Singapore were defeated, Lin Fei crushed the British threat, as for the British-occupied Burma, Lin Fei did not want to attack at this time.

The British army in Burma is still very strong, and it will not be too easy to attack, and Lin Fei's subordinates have no one who understands the situation in Burma at all, and they can't occupy Burma after capturing it, and if they want to occupy Burma, they must start from the border between Yunnan and Burma, first find a group of people who understand Burma, prepare for the occupation, and then act, this process will definitely last a year or even longer.

As for India, which is farther away, Lin Fei has no idea, because the distance is too far, Lin Fei's forces cannot be projected, and if he wants to occupy India, he must wait for the aircraft carrier to be launched.

Lin Fei then negotiated an armistice agreement with the British envoy, which was actually a "spoils sharing agreement" signed between Lin Fei and Britain, and its essence was that Lin Fei and Britain would divide the world together.

In Lin Fei's era, the Western powers divided the world in this way, and in this era, under the leadership of Lin Fei, Huaxia was already on an equal footing with the Western powers, but because China's national strength needed to be further enhanced, Huaxia had not yet reached the point of wantonly abusing the Western powers.

On 15 May, Lin Fei and the British envoy Sir Rui Tianxian met in Dayu City, although Sir Rui Tianxian was a sinner who lost Singapore, but the family was rich and powerful, and the name of the sinner was not only quickly cleared, but also regarded as "a hero who protected 100,000 British soldiers and civilians", Sir Rui Tianxian then came to Dayu City as a special envoy to negotiate with Lin Fei.

The negotiation process went very smoothly, because Britain put on a very low posture, Britain knew very well that it was not five years ago, at that time Lin Fei was a small ant, Britain could step on it to death if he raised his feet, and now Lin Fei is a fire dragon flying out of the sea of blood, with a body full of flames, whoever dares to disrespect him will be burned to ashes by the flames.

On 17 May, Lin Fei and Sir Rui Tianxian signed the "Treaty of Dayu City", which stated that Britain recognized Malaya and Singapore as the territory of the Chinese Empire, and the Chinese Empire recognized Burma and India as British territory, and the two sides promised not to invade each other's territory.

Before the outbreak of the Second World War in the South Seas, Zhu Minxiang, the commander of Lin Fei's Middle East Dispatch Force, defected to the enemy, causing Germany to learn about Lin Fei's top-secret operation to blow up the Baghdad Railway, and then Britain and Germany jointly sent troops to Lin Fei's Middle East to attack, Lin Fei's Middle East Dispatch Force was completely wiped out under the siege of the Anglo-German coalition force ten times his own, and Lin Fei's power was completely swept out of the Middle East.

In the negotiation of the signing of the Treaty of Dayu City, Lin Fei asked to station troops in the Middle East and hand over the traitor Zhu Minxiang to the Chinese Empire for trial, but the result was politely rejected by Sir Rui Tianxian, and Lin Fei had no way to counteract, plus Lin Fei had already obtained Malaya and Singapore, which was already a big victory, so he did not make further requests.

If you want to garrison troops in the Middle East, you must have a strong ocean-going navy, when it comes to the ocean-going navy, Lin Fei doesn't want to engage in giant ship artillery anymore, and directly engage in aircraft carriers, giant ship artillery has been proven to be an outdated thing, and it can only cost the people and money to engage in it again.

However, Lin Fei still made a "face" to vigorously develop the cannon of giant ships, so as to mislead the countries of the world, Lin Fei asked the British side to sell the production line of 305 mm caliber giant guns, sell the manufacturing technology of warships with a displacement of 20,000 tons, and sell a complete set of technology for large steam turbines.

When the battleship Intrepid docked in Siam, Commander Fisher even ordered it to be scuttled in order to prevent the battleship from falling into Lin Fei's hands.
