At Singapore's Changi Military Port, a huge fleet of three aircraft carriers and three battleships is setting sail, Akagi, Soryu, Wyvern, King Kong, Kirishima, Hiei and nearly 100 warships of various types slowly sailed out of the port, heading northwest at high speed in the refreshing night breeze.

Admiral Yamamoto, known as the conqueror of the South Seas, stood on the deck of the Akagi with great ambition, and in less than a year, the whole of Southeast Asia was completely in the pocket of the empire, oil, rubber, aluminum... These good things, which had been elusive for many years, were so easily obtained, and the weakness of the British was unimaginable, and if it had not been for the army that had consumed so much in China, perhaps the whole of India would have been taken by now.

"Those fools who don't have a strategic vision." As soon as he thought of this, he couldn't help but feel a burst of anger, I really don't know if those guys in the Kwantung Army have long brains, for those worthless barren mountains and mountains to provoke Yang Feng again and again, and finally bury hundreds of thousands of elite imperial army elites, but in the end nothing was gained, look at Southeast Asia, just less than 100,000 losses, you got ten times larger than the entire empire of land, and there are countless resources in this land, the war must be fought like this to be cost-effective.

"Your Excellency, Commander, if what the Germans said is true, take the iron mines of India, then the empire will no longer have anything lacking, we no longer need to look at the faces of the Americans, a brand new Asia under the leadership of His Majesty the Emperor is about to become a reality in our hands, and the thought of this will inevitably make people's hearts surge!" His old partner, Lieutenant General Nagumo, said with great ambition on the side.

"Don't be careless, the British still have two battleships and an aircraft carrier." Admiral Yamamoto said reservedly.

"British? Haha, I'm afraid they are still waiting for the news of the success of the peace talks!" Lieutenant General Nagumo said with a smile.

General Yamamoto couldn't help but laugh at the thought of the Anglo-Japanese armistice negotiations being held in Istanbul, wondering what kind of expression the British would have on their faces when they found out that they had been fooled for the second time.

The last survivors of the British Navy's Far East Fleet in Colombo. Now we are indeed waiting for the news of the success of the armistice negotiations, and this fleet, consisting of the aircraft carrier Glorious and the battle cruiser Prestige, as well as the battleship Balham from the country, has been hiding in the harbor for all this time, under the protection of shore-based aviation, and they are no longer able to fight the Japanese fleet at sea. The shipping route in the Indian Ocean could only be barely guarded, lest the British army in India fall into a desperate situation.

Even so, we have to be careful not to be wiped out by the combined fleet one day, when the news of the armistice negotiations just came, no one dared to relax their vigilance, after all, they have been unforgettable about the sneak attack of the Japanese, but for more than a month of continuous negotiations, the Japanese have always been at the negotiating table. It has convinced everyone, including the British Cabinet, of the sincerity of the Japanese peace talks.

Actually, this is not surprising, the Japanese did want to negotiate peace at first, but later changed their minds.

Speaking of which now the two sides can basically say that they have reached a mutual agreement, the withdrawal of Japanese troops from India, but the British must recognize Japan's aggression against Burma, Malaya, Indonesia. Annam, Laos. Khmer, Brunei suzerainty of these countries.

Unable to fight, the British government had humiliated the Japanese terms, and it was said that an armistice was about to be signed in Istanbul, so it would be difficult for the British lads to be on their toes, let alone them. Even the commander of the fleet, Vice Admiral Summerville, believed that the war was about to end.

On January 1, 1940, at the Yildez Palace in Istanbul, British Foreign Minister Viscount Halifax entered the Ottoman-era palace with the pride characteristic of the British Empire, although he had come to sign a humiliating agreement.

"Haven't the Japanese arrived yet?" He looked at the empty venue. Strangely asked the Turkish Foreign Minister, who was presiding over the meeting.

"I don't know, according to the time they should have arrived." The Turkish Foreign Minister was also puzzled, and turned his head to signal an official next to him to call the hotel where the Japanese delegation was staying to ask.

This official hasn't left yet! A diplomat from the British Embassy hurried in, it was a real run-in, and even rudely pushed away a Turk who was in the way, and then, in a stunned gaze, handed a telegram to the Viscount of Halifax.

His Excellency glanced at the telegram suspiciously, and his face turned green at once, and then the foreign minister roared angrily in the palace of Yeldez: "Bastards, these shameless dwarves, these despicable scoundrels!"

Once again, the British Empire was fooled by the Japanese Empire, and just half an hour before the official signing of the Anglo-Japanese armistice negotiations, the Japanese Navy's Combined Fleet attacked Colombo.

The unsuspecting Far East Fleet was again struck, and more than 150 carrier-based planes that took off from three aircraft carriers evaded the surveillance of British radars by flying at ultra-low altitudes, and suddenly arrived in Colombo in the early morning sunshine.

However, this time the British land-based aviation reacted very quickly, braving the fire of the Japanese air raids, more than a dozen of the latest Hurricane fighters took off to meet the enemy, but unfortunately although the planes and the Zero were not without the power of a battle, but the rigid tactics made them almost at the mercy of others, more than a dozen Hurricanes were all shot down in less than ten minutes, and the Japanese only lost one Zero.

As for the other British planes, they were all destroyed on the ground, but this time was not the last time after all, and the British were more or less vigilant, so after the Glory and more than a dozen warships were blown up and sunk, the remaining Balham and the Prestige, although they were shot in many places and were full of flames, still fought hard out of the port under the protection of the remaining 20 light warships, while fighting to the death with the Japanese planes in the sky, while trying to make peace with the air force that came from India to reinforce them.

But unfortunately, it didn't go far when a huge ball of fire suddenly exploded on the starboard side of the Prestige Patrol at the front, and then began to sink rapidly.

"Submarine!" Almost all the warships sounded screams of fear, the appearance of the Japanese submarines, so that the British fleet in flight completely panicked, what is even more terrifying is that they did not find the track of the torpedo at all, not only that, they could not even find the location of the Japanese submarines, the whole fleet flew 25 or even 30 knots at high speed on the sea surface frantically twisted a zigzag route, dodging the planes diving in the sky, but also had to be careful to be vigilant against the underwater killers.

It's a pity that those weird torpedoes are still hitting the fleeing British battleships, the British are going crazy, the torpedoes without a track are directly despairing, just when they almost collapsed, more than ten kilometers away on the sea, suddenly a huge column of water rose.

"The torpedo blew itself up!" Lieutenant General Summerville looked into the distance in horror.

"It's impossible, what torpedo has such a long range." Then he let out an exclamation of disbelief, but at that moment there was a sudden jolt under his feet, and the poor Fleet Commander, His Excellency, felt himself standing on a loose spring, and the whole person was bounced up in an instant, and then slammed into the steel plate above his head.

In the distance, a periscope sticking out of the water was quietly watching the Barham, which had almost blown away its entire bow in the huge explosion, and the huge ship with a displacement of 40,000 tons quickly began to sink, while in the distance, only a small section of the mast of the poor Prestige was still exposed.

"Roar!" Captain Matsumoto nodded with satisfaction, the power of the Type 93 oxygen torpedo is great, and the range of twenty kilometers can also ensure that he attacks outside the enemy's range, this kind of torpedo is simply invincible at sea, although there is a little flaw, such as easy to self-detonate or something, but this can be completely ignored.

The credit of sinking a battleship was enough to carry the Admiral's star on his shoulders, but this was not enough, and he immediately set his sights on the only remaining heavy cruiser in the British fleet, and with a command, another giant torpedo of 610 mm caliber flew out of the launch port.

Hearing the sound of the torpedo coming out of the cabin, Matsumoto Nakasa immediately showed a smug smile, but unfortunately at this moment, there was a sudden bang, and the entire submarine seemed to be smashed by a giant hammer, and the fragile hull was torn apart by the water pressure without hesitation, and the sea water rushed into the boat.

"Bastard!" Matsumoto Nakasa let out a desperate roar, and at this point he didn't talk about that flaw anymore.

On the British heavy cruiser that was running wildly in the distance, the captain looked at the water column rising more than ten kilometers away in a cold sweat, he naturally knew what it meant, if it wasn't for the torpedo self-detonation, maybe he would have followed in the footsteps of the Prestige and the Barham at this time, this kind of torpedo with a range of more than 15 kilometers, and powerful enough to kill a battleship in one blow is simply terrible, what is even more terrifying is that it has no wake, it is simply impossible to prevent it, and when you go back, you must remind the Admiralty to pay attention to this terrible new torpedo.

Unfortunately, his wish was destined to be unfulfilled, and it was not only the Japanese submarine that pursued them, but just as he was glad to have escaped, a Japanese dive bomber was roaring down in the sky, and the British sailors went crazy and shot at the plane with all the weapons they could use, but all efforts failed to stop it from dropping deadly bombs.

The 500-kilogram heavy bomb fell from the sky, smashed through the deck and smashed into the depths of the hull, and then with a shattering explosion, the poor cruiser split directly in two, and sank to the bottom of the sea in a few minutes. (To be continued......)
