In the face of the fierce attack of the main forces of the Royal Navy, the Chinese Navy can only gather all the main forces of the Navy and prepare to resist the Royal Navy. The British Navy has already assembled 24 capital ships. Then, the main forces of the Pacific Fleet of the Imperial Navy and the South Sea Army must be counted all. Even the 'Longteng-class' battleships and 'Longyao-class' battlecruisers, which were ready to be mothballed, were all arrested.

Even so, the Imperial Navy's three 'Three Emperor-class' battleships, two 'Pinghai-class' battleships, five 'Five Emperor-class' battleships, four 'Zhonghua-class' battleships, two 'Longxing-class' battleships, two 'Longfei-class' battlecruisers, two 'Longteng-class' battleships and two 'Longyao-class' battlecruisers combined, are only 22, much less than the British Navy. Of course, there are two more former dreadnoughts that are not counted. However, those two former dreadnoughts originally belonged to the old battleships that had been eliminated. Let them go to such a fierce battlefield, that is undoubtedly to let them die.

However, the Imperial Navy was not without a slight chance of victory. The Imperial Navy's 'Three Emperor-class' battleships and 'Pinghai-class' battleships were equipped with 410 mm guns, especially the 50 times caliber 410 mm guns of the 'Three Emperor-class' battleships, which had extremely strong armor-piercing capabilities. The British Navy did not have the armor of a battleship that could withstand this class of battleships. The four twin 45-caliber 410 mm guns of the 'Pinghai-class' battleships are equally powerful. Even the Imperial Navy's 'Five Emperor-class' battleships were more powerful than the British Navy's 'Revenge-class' battleships and the 'Queen Elizabeth-class' battleships. Therefore, the Imperial Navy actually had no small advantage in terms of high-end warships. As long as the performance is good and there are no problems, it should be very possible for the Imperial Navy to win.

Of course. Although Britain is an adversary of the Imperial Navy, it is by no means the main adversary of the Imperial Navy at the moment. The Imperial Navy plans to completely wipe out the Japanese next year. Therefore, the Imperial Navy had to win a complete victory in this naval battle against the British. Only in this way will the Imperial Navy have absolute superiority in the next year's battle against the Japanese Navy.

Therefore. In addition to sending capital ships to the south, the submarine forces of the Imperial Navy also went to the south. The main force of the submarine force of the Imperial Navy is the second-generation 'Shark-class' submarines. Compared with the previous class of 'Squid-class' submarines, this class of submarines has a larger displacement, a longer range, a larger number of torpedo tubes, and a longer underwater dive time and a deeper diving depth. The Imperial Navy now has a total of 5 squadrons of 'Shark-class' submarines. Except for a brigade to guard the Japanese Navy. The remaining four squadrons, all of which reached the East Indies through the South China Sea, and from there into the Indian Ocean, prepared to assist the surface fleet of the Imperial Navy, inflicting heavy damage on the British Navy.

In order to defeat the British Navy, the Imperial Navy did its best this time. If it weren't for the fact that the aircraft carrier fleet of the Imperial Navy only had one experimental aircraft carrier, and the real fleet aircraft carrier was still under construction, I am afraid that Wu Haoxuan would have ordered the aircraft carrier fleet to participate in the war. As for secrecy and the like. Only put it aside for now. After all, the Imperial Navy had to win first. That's the only way. The empire is qualified to continue fighting. If the war is lost, the great powers will surely flock to the empire and divide it up in one fell swoop. So, in any war, the empire cannot afford to lose.

"Will the Japanese attack us at this time?" Wu Haoxuan asked. The Japanese were undoubtedly a major problem for the Empire. If you take advantage of the main force of the Imperial Navy and the British Navy to face off. If the Japanese Navy sent troops to attack the enemy, then the Imperial Navy might face the problem of being attacked from the back. The prosperous coastal areas of the empire were also threatened by the Japanese navy.

"Your Majesty, it seems that the Japanese Navy has no intention of provoking the Imperial Navy. Although they made statements. It claimed that it would fulfill the Anglo-Japanese Alliance, but the day after the statement was issued, all the capital ships of the Japanese Navy went to the shipyard for overhaul. Obviously, the Japanese did not want to get involved in this battle. Marshal Sa Zhenbing said.

"It's not that the Japanese don't want to get involved in this battle, it's that they don't want to make senseless losses. They wished that the British Navy would be able to defeat the Empire. In this way, they will be able to defeat us without a single soldier. Even if the British Navy only inflicted heavy losses on us. In that case, the Japanese Navy will have a great chance of winning in future wars. Wu Haoxuan has a very accurate grasp of Little Japan's mentality.

Marshal Sa Zhenbing nodded, he thought so too.

"In that case, then the Imperial Navy will do its best against the British. As long as the British were defeated, then the Japanese would not dare to make any other moves. Wu Haoxuan said. If even the British Navy had been defeated by the Imperial Navy, then the Japanese would never have come to trouble the Empire until the Japanese 'Yamato-class' battlecruisers and 'Amagi-class' battlecruisers were commissioned.

"Yes, Your Majesty!" Marshal Sa Zhenbing also knew that this battle was very important and related to the fate of the empire.

On February 27, 4620 (22) of the Yellow Emperor Era, the imperial army crossed the border from Iraq and the South Caucasus and entered the Kingdom of Iran. The 9th Army formed the Southern Front cluster with the 9th Infantry Division, the 24th Infantry Division and the 9th Cavalry Brigade. The 13th Army consisted of the 13th Army, the 28th Army and the 13th Cavalry Brigade to form the Northern Front cluster. Two clusters, with a total strength of more than 90,000 troops, approached Tehran in two directions.

On the southern front, after the 9th Cavalry Brigade of the Imperial Army crossed the border, almost not a single enemy was found. The troops of the Kingdom of Iran have long since retreated. The combat effectiveness of the army of the Kingdom of Iran is albeit a little worse. However, they are self-aware. Knowing well that it is not an opponent of the Chinese * army. If you resist to the end, you will definitely die an ugly death.

On 28 February, the 9th Cavalry Brigade of the Imperial Army approached Kermanshah. It was the only city defended by the army of the Kingdom of Iran. Originally, the 9th Cavalry Brigade of the Imperial Army was also ready to mount its guns and force an attack.

However, before they could put the gun mount, the troops of the Kingdom of Iran in the city took the initiative to leave the city. Their commanders claim that they have always been loyal to His Majesty King Ahmad Shah. It's just that because Sai Giadin is powerful, they have no choice but to take refuge in Sai Giadin. In fact, they have been waiting for the return of King Ahmad Shah. The whole drama of people in Cao Ying's heart in Han.

However, the empire will not be embarrassed by these troops of the Kingdom of Iran, who voluntarily surrendered, and directly handed them over to King Ahmad Shah.

The armies of the Kingdom of Iran, naturally, swore to their Allah that they were loyal to His Majesty Ahmad Shah from beginning to end, and swore a curse to scold Sai Giaddin for his coup d'état.

The response of these troops was very satisfying to Ahmad Shah. In his opinion, he is still very popular in the Kingdom of Iran. Otherwise, why did everyone take the initiative to surrender as soon as he came back?

In fact, if it weren't for the Chinese* troops marching into the Kingdom of Iran, would these troops have deferentially shown their loyalty to Ahmad Shah like a dog? That's obviously impossible. They will never be loyal to Ahmad Shah, and will even kill Ahmad Shah and send his head to Tehran to receive a reward.

Now, because Ahmad Shah has leaned on the Chinese and returned to China under the protection of the Chinese. So, everything is different.

The Southern and Northern Clusters of the Imperial Army, marching in unison, marched towards Tehran, meeting almost no decent resistance wherever they went. Countless armies of the Kingdom of Iran have come to the ground when they encounter the Imperial Army, claiming that they are loyal to King Ahmad Shah.

Of course, among these armies, there are definitely those who are truly loyal to Ahmad Shah, but there are definitely also those who are loyal to Sai Gyaddin. It's just that now that Ahmad Shah has returned with rescuers, they will naturally make a very wise choice.

Although, Sai Giardin has the support of the British behind him. But the British did not send a large army into the Kingdom of Iran now, and they could only choose the nearest Chinese Empire to take refuge.

The army of the Kingdom of Iran was so soft that the generals of the Imperial Army, who originally thought that it would take a big battle to assess Iran, were greatly disappointed. These generals originally thought that they would be able to fight in the territory of the Kingdom of Iran. Without war, generals would not have accumulated military merits, and it would be difficult for them to be promoted.

This is especially true now that the Imperial Army has become the most powerful army in the world. Except for the fierce battles with the Soviet Russian Red Army before, the Imperial Army has rarely fought major battles.

After entering the territory of the Kingdom of Iran, the Imperial Army advanced very quickly. It's not so much a war as a march. In particular, two cavalry brigades advanced up to hundreds of kilometers per day.

As for the surrendered Iranian army, after their commander swore allegiance to Ahmad Shah, it turned into Ahmad Shah's army, turned its gun and attacked the rebels of Sai Jiyadin.

Although these armies of the Kingdom of Iran had little combat effectiveness. However, with the backing of the Imperial Army, they were also very brave.

After waiting for the counterinsurgency, the army of the Kingdom of Iran will be trained and commanded by the Imperial Army to rearm. Combat effectiveness is certainly not the same as it is now. (To be continued.) )
