Chapter 134: The Sun Never Sets Empire

In the headquarters of the coalition forces in Tokyo, Han Ruowei, the commander-in-chief of the coalition forces, closed his eyes and recuperated, and the most difficult time spent during this time. Since the defeat in the Battle of Scarborough Shoal, the British headquarters did not blame him, but according to his request, the Atlantic Fleet was transferred to the Strait of Malacca, and at the same time 30 attack submarines were urgently transported. In order to redeem the defeat, Han Ruowei intensified the attack on submarine attacks, and he wanted to completely paralyze China's coastal routes, and then support the fleet's operations to save face. Now that the attack submarine has achieved brilliant results, Han Ruowei's mood is much better.

Chief of Staff Bill hurried in, he handed the telegram to Han Ruowei and said: "The Ryukyu base reports that 22 submarines of the 1st Submarine Group are missing, and there is no news so far, and they judge that it is the Chinese Navy that sank our attack submarine." Han Ruowei opened his mouth slightly when he heard this, and he didn't know how to answer for a while. Your Excellency Marshal, it is difficult for the Chinese to have submarine hunting warships and depth charges. "Submarine hunting warships and depth charges are not terrible, but to successfully hunt submarines, there must be a minimum condition, that is, sonar jishu.

"If nothing else, the Chinese have developed a sonar system for ships. That's right, the Chinese Navy can successfully intercept the Philippine detachment at Scarborough Shoal, not only by attacking submarines, but also if their sonar system accurately discovers the position of the fleet. Now everything is clear, our sonar jishu is still in the development stage, and their sonar jishu has been equipped on the battleship. The feedback from the headquarters confirmed that our submarine hunting warship had been built, but it could not be put into actual combat without a sonar system, and it seems that we are not resentful of losing. ”

Chief of Staff Bill said: "It is not surprising that the Chinese have come up with submarines. Our jishu didn't have any secrets back then. But sonar jishu has only appeared in the last two years, how do the Chinese know, and they are ahead of us. It seems that the military jishu of the Chinese has surpassed us. Han Ruowei said: "Report this situation to the headquarters immediately." In addition, the submarine forces were ordered to stop the raids. Once the submarine is discovered by a submarine hunter, it will not be able to escape under the bombardment of depth charges, and our submarine advantage will be gone. ”

The cold wave is rolling, but the Thames docks of the British Empire are bustling with activity, with military bands waiting on the docks and welcoming salutes in place. Queen Victoria Bixia personally went to the pier to greet guests from afar. A passenger ship slowly stopped on the side of the dock, and US Secretary of State Henry Kissinger led the military secretary on a visit to London, England. Meet Queen Victoria in person. In fact, Kissinger, on behalf of the US president, also has the meaning of asking for guilt, after all, the United States lost four large warships in the battle of Scarborough Shoal.

Empress Victoria, of course, knew what the Americans meant. As the most hardcore ally, Queen Victoria surrendered herself and personally went to the dock to greet Kissinger and his party. The welcome scene was solemn, under the beautiful melody of the military band. In the roar of the salute. Kissinger led his ministers to kiss Queen Victoria's hand in turn as a sign of respect. Empress Elizabeth then invited guests to Buckingham Palace. A long procession of carriages galloped in the direction of Buckingham Palace, and the white costumes of Buckingham Palace in the distance were particularly eye-catching in the winter light.

Entering the splendid hall, the solemn momentum suddenly appeared. Empress Victoria sat on the royal chair, although the Empress was old but not majestic. Queen Victoria's face is serene, but she is tough and definitely an iron fist. At present, the outside of the weakness under it is revealed, which is amiable and respectable. But who can know how powerful she is. The British Empire can become the hegemon of the sea, and it can become the empire on which the sun never sets. Queen Victoria owes a lot of money. Later historians have called the Victorian period the great Victorian era.

Kissinger and other attachΓ©s were on one side, and British ministers were on the other. U.S. Secretary of State Henry Kissinger said bluntly: "Dear Queen Victoria, first of all, on behalf of the American people, Your Excellency the President, and myself, I would like to express my sincere respect to Her Majesty Bixia. Entrusted by the President, he came to discuss with Empress Bixia about future joint operations. Victoria knew Kissinger's intentions and said softly: "Gentlemen, the United Nations Army has been fighting against the Chinese army for six years, and I don't need to tell you how the war is fought, you all know it. ”

Victoria continued: "In this naval battle that broke out on China's Scarborough Shoal, the commander of the coalition forces, Han Ruowei, has an unshirkable responsibility. But what was on the battlefield, not to mention that Commander Han Ruowei didn't think of it, and we didn't think of it. Changing commanders on the spot is a taboo for soldiers, and besides, I can't find a better commander than Han Ruowei, if you have a suitable candidate who can be recommended openly and honestly, I will seriously consider it. "Kissinger didn't expect Queen Victoria to be preconceived, to turn passive into active, and to be very honest.

In fact, Kissinger just asked the teacher to ask for an explanation, so as to calm the resentment of the people at home and said: "Empress Bixia, we are not here to ask for the replacement of the commander of the coalition forces, in order to appease the dissatisfaction of the people at home, we need a reasonable explanation." Victoria sighed and said, "Failure is painful, and successive failures are humiliation." It is extremely foolish for us to blindly shift the blame to the other party, and we do not look for the reason in ourselves. Let's travel back in time and space to decades ago, and have a deep understanding of the mysterious, terrifying, and great figure in Chinese mainland, and maybe you can really find the answer. I would now like to give my Minister of National Defense a brief introduction on Chinese President Deng Zixuan. ”

The British Secretary of State for Defense stood up, the guy had gray hair and could not judge his real age. "Gentlemen, through a banker who got up early and had close contact with Deng Zixuan, we have a rough grasp of Deng Zixuan's early activities and unravel the veil of mystery. The banker's name was Charlie, and he was an agent at the Shanghai branch of the East Indian Ocean Bank at the time. He had returned to England the year before and then gone incognito. Later, we found this person and learned the true situation of Deng Zixuan. ”

"Gentlemen, the character of Deng Zixuan is a product of God's creation, this person is extremely smart, although he is the elite of the Manchu imperial examination system, but this person is not conformist. According to Charlie, this man learned English in church at an early age and read a lot of Western books, and his breadth seems to have reached the pinnacle. It is not only familiar with the history, customs and customs of Western countries, but also proficient in Western science. At that time, he understood the importance of scientific jishu. He has used his strengths to work closely with Western countries in the business sector. ”

"This person, who runs an industry, uses advanced Western jishu to arm himself. He understood the importance of scientific talents, and sent more than a dozen bright-minded students to Britain for further study, and at the same time, he used his influence to secretly urge the government to send students to Western countries for further study, so as to accumulate talents for China. The most terrible thing is that he spends a lot of money to recruit Jishu talents in Western countries for his own use, and will do whatever it takes to achieve his goals. I rebelled in the future, and this person tried his best to try his heart. During this period, he secretly established a military academy to train loyal officers for himself, and in order to overthrow the Manchu dynasty, he accumulated a lot of money and made sufficient preparations. ”

This person prepared for 10 years in order to rebel, and took advantage of the opportunity of the Sino-French War to raise an army in the name of self-defense in Annam, and became famous in the first war. Now it seems that we were extremely stupid to pay for the crumbling and terminally ill Manchu dynasty, and if we had recognized this clearly then, it would not be what it is today. Gentlemen??????。 ”

The British Secretary of State for Defense gave a briefing on Deng Zixuan's situation and spoke for two hours, and his speech seemed to be a book from heaven, and everyone was almost dumbfounded. The British Secretary of State for Defense ended his speech, and everyone was silent for a long time. Queen Victoria said, "Gentlemen, how do you feel about what you just said?" Do you still think that you are noble, at the beginning of the land war despised the enemy, but as a result, we were repeatedly defeated, still did not want to forge ahead, and even were driven out of Chinese mainland, and as a result, our own security was seriously threatened. Now it is no longer a question of the wheel of the yellow peril, but a question of the survival of the nation. ”

"Gentlemen, we have been defeated on land, thinking that dignity will be preserved at sea. But so what, isn't it true that the young Chinese navy is growing stronger day by day? Not only that, but the Chinese Navy has a great advantage over us, and this morning I received a telegram from Commander Han Ruowei that the Chinese Navy had appeared with submarine hunting warships, which had caused the disappearance of 22 of our attack submarines. Everyone gasped. Victoria continued: "Submarine hunting warships and depth charges are not terrible, what is terrible is that they have installed sonar jishu on a large scale, what sonar jishu means, gentlemen will not be unfamiliar with it!" When they heard this, they were shocked.

Victoria continued: "The Chinese have taken advantage of our Western jishu and buried themselves in development, and now they have surpassed us, and we have to face the ruthless facts. We are developing, our enemies are accelerating, what a terrible thing. In the future, we will not only have to fight defensively, but we will even have to pay a heavy price to gain the survival of the nation. Mr. Kissinger, I do not reproach Marshal Henrowe, and it is in the light of the above questions that I think you should have found the answers. Kissinger seemed to wake up and said: "Empress Bixia, I was shocked by Fang Cai's statement, and I will convey it to His Excellency the President and deeply reflect on our mistakes." ”

Kissinger was brainwashed by Victoria and quickly accepted her views. For now, only by working together can we get through the difficulties. At this time, an American weapons expert said: "Empress Bixia, our sonar Jishu has made a breakthrough and will soon be put into actual combat, please rest assured Empress Bixia." The British Secretary of Industry stood up and said: "At present, the major shipyards of the British Empire are building cruisers of more than 10,000 tons, and in the face of the increasing rise of the Chinese Navy, we must go all out." ”

Victoria Zuihou concluded: "Dear gentlemen, only by facing up to the strength of the opponent can we find out our own shortcomings, and I believe that Freedom Shijie will definitely tide over the difficulties and the future belongs to us." "The Western Shijie, led by the British Empire and the United States of America, is gradually changing its strategy and tactics, and they put down their noble stature and put themselves in the position of the weak, which is not a good thing for the Chinese Empire, and it also indicates the difficulty of the future war. (To be continued......)

PS: As the Chinese Empire continues to rise, so does the perception of shijie in the West.
