The banquet was held almost simultaneously on both sides, and on the naval base, because the top brass of the Far East Fleet and the Z Fleet were all in attendance, the French thought that it was just a friendship between the two forces. After the banquet began, they relaxed, eating, drinking, chatting and laughing, unaware that their fate would be forced to change completely after this banquet.

At nine o'clock in the evening, when the banquet on the side of the student army had ended, the banquet on this side began to enter the main topic. It was Wavell who was the villain, Ouyang Yun just fell in love with the ships of the Far East Fleet, and the British were even more desperate. At a time when the "Prince of Wales" and the "Counterattack" were all exhausted, and the Z fleet was seriously short of personnel, when Wavell and Phillips discussed the matter, Phillips proposed: The Cadet Army wants a ship, and the man will belong to us. So, considering that Phillips would command the French in the future, it was not appropriate to make the relationship too stiff, and Wavell took the initiative to be the villain.

When he was half drunk, Phillips's adjutant suddenly ran up to him from the telephone hall and whispered to him: "Your Excellency, Commander, Hulls, they have already succeeded. Phillips nodded quietly, and after he left, he quietly told Wavell the news. The latter put down his wine glass and said to Degu directly: "Commander Degu, there is something to inform you. ”

Degu watched him with his glass and waited for the next sentence.

"In view of the terrible war situation in Southeast Asia, in order to prevent the Japanese fleet from entering the Indian Ocean through the Strait of Malacca, we decided to form a sniper fleet in the Bay of Bengal. As you know, after the loss of the Prince of Wales and the Counter-Attack, our Z Fleet has lost the ability to continue fighting, and in order to ensure that your country's and our country's colonial interests in the West Indies are not violated, we have decided to requisition your Far Eastern Fleet. ”

"What?" Degu immediately stood up. The Frenchman's face was already a little red with alcohol, and at this time, because of the blood surge, he slapped the wine glass heavily on the few pieces in front of him, and roared hoarsely: "Commander-in-Chief Waveville, are you joking?" ”

His roar was so loud that it immediately attracted everyone's attention.

Wavell calmly looked Degu in the eye and said slowly, "No, I'm serious. ”

Degu trembled with anger, and pointed at him with trembling fingers, "But what right do you have to do this?" ”

"Don't forget, Commander Degu, that we are allies. Moreover, it was our British infantry who were now resisting the Japanese in the Mawlamyine area. ”

"No, I can't accept it."

"I'm afraid it's not up to you."

Several of Degu's loyal men put down their glasses and walked over, figuring out the reason for the commander's anger, and they roared along. However, as a group of British gendarmes from the Jida Military Port broke in with loaded guns, their roar of "righteousness and strictness" was immediately blocked by the shining muzzle of the gun.

"Gentlemen, I give you two choices, either become an honorable volunteer in support of Great Britain against the Japanese bandits, or report to the Governor of Ombos' Restoration Army," Wavell threw down this sentence and left with Phillips and the others.

Wavell was a good learner, of course, perhaps just disgusted by the word "volunteer" and anxious to pass it on, so the French became the ultimate victims.

When only the top brass of the Far Eastern Fleet and the armed British gendarmes were left in the noisy banquet hall, Degu and his men stood stunned, their hearts swishing with the cold wind blowing from Siberia.

Qi Minghao and the others boarded the ship the next day, and when they saw the sight of those naval officers and men with obvious oriental characteristics running in and out of their own warships and shouting loudly, they were given special preferential treatment, and Degu, who was allowed limited free movement, remembered the scene of the helicopter group of the jungle special operations brigade frequently conducting take-off and landing training on British ships, and finally understood that they were sold by the British, and they were sold to the Chinese. At that moment, he pounced on Wavell and bit Wavell twice.

"What benefits did the Chinese give Waveville? This is Lang Fei, Lang Fei, do you know Lang Fei? He said to the second lieutenant of one of the Z fleet, who was nominally responsible for accompanying him, but was actually monitoring him, with a sad expression: "This is an ocean-going fleet, and the Chinese will just fiddle with the sampan twice in the small river in front of their house—I'm sure that even if they are given a year, they will not be able to get the 'Richelieu' out of the military port." ”

From the point of view of the love of the naval career alone, Degu is still worthy of the title of commander of the Far Eastern Fleet. The butterfly effect caused by two butterflies has changed so many things in this plane, and the Richelieu is one of them.

After Ouyang Yun handed over the notebook to Hou Debang, the accuracy of "foresight" was much lower. He thought that the French Far East Fleet had only two old battleships, but in fact, both the battleship "Richelieu" and the battleship "Licherieux" did not have a long service time, and in terms of combat power, they could rank among the top 20 in the world.

It is precisely for this reason that Degu is more and more distressed.

Just when Degu was beating his chest for the inhuman encounters of the Far East Fleet, Ouyang Yun, who had already withdrawn from Bangkok to Hanoi, shouted at this time, "I have earned it, I have earned it" -- after receiving Qi Minghao's written report on the ships under the Far East Fleet in the morning, he immediately remotely controlled Changne to verify it, and then after getting the specific data of the battleships "Richelieu" and "Licherieux", he was overjoyed. Because of the appearance of aircraft carriers, the role of battleships in naval warfare has been greatly weakened. But even so, existence and non-existence are two completely unequal concepts. Just imagine, when the cadet soldiers came to the Japanese mainland, in the face of the strong shore fortifications of the little devils, what was more deterrent than the huge artillery bombardment of the battleships?

The Xuebing Army is in Haikou Base Password Your development navy has almost been hidden from everyone's eyes and ears, so Degu will feel that even if they give Qi Minghao a year, they will not be able to drive the "Richelieu" out of the city. The fact gave him a resounding slap in the face, and two days later, in the same place, he and the British second lieutenant were stopping to watch the training of Qi Minghao and others, when suddenly a shrill whistle sounded, and then "Richelieu" actually moved.

The battleship "Richelieu" slowly left the dock under the tow of two tugboats, and then there was another long roar. Seeing the British sailors on the tugboat recovering the cables, Degu sneered: "Second Lieutenant, I think it is necessary for you to remind your commander to prepare the maintenance workers at the port for repairs - the Chinese will crash your dock." ”

Ten minutes after Degu said this, his eyes suddenly widened - the "Richelieu" sailed out of the military harbor with a split, and then began to accelerate into the distance.

"Impossible! Surely your people are manipulating? I'm sure. ”

"Sir, as you can see, there are no officers and sailors on board our Z Fleet," after accompanying Degu for about four days, the second lieutenant finally spoke a sentence related to the Far Eastern Fleet.

"Smack!" In his confusion, Degu faintly heard a crisp sound, and then his left and right cheeks turned red as if he had been slapped at the same time, until the roots of both ears.
