Sitting on the ship back to the South Seas, Li Xun's heart continued to rise and fall like the waves. Just half a year ago, he was an ordinary Chinese young man in Nanyang, doing menial work and enduring all kinds of threats. Now that he has undergone rigorous training, he has become an excellent recruit, familiar with a large number of killing techniques, and the changes before and after are too great.

"What do you think?" Zhang Honggang appeared beside Li Xun with a smile.

Li Xun subconsciously wanted to stand up and salute, but Zhang Honggang pressed his shoulder and stopped his movements.

"I just broke up the quilt, don't fold the tofu cubes in the future, so as not to let others find out about the horses' feet."

Li Xun blushed and nodded: "I'm used to it, and I can't change it for a while." ”

"If you can't change it, you have to change it, the top has repeatedly explained, we are even more terrible than the Longtan Tiger's Den this time, we must be careful everywhere, save ourselves, it is more important than destroying the enemy."

Zhang Honggang suddenly laughed and said, "Are you afraid? ”

Li Xun shook his head violently: "Some things are more terrible than death, I remember when I was only five years old, a group of natives rushed to our house with machetes, grabbed things when they saw them, and killed people when they saw them." My grandmother was hacked to death by them, and then my grandfather ran away with my life, and I only remember that a lot of blood flowed from his neck, and it flowed to my face, body, and all in front of my eyes, and I was so scared that I cried! ”

Speaking of this, Li Xun's face also showed an extremely painful color, and Zhang Honggang also patted his shoulder very understandingly: "In these years, which Chinese has not had bitter tears, I broke through in my family a few years ago, and on the way my mother contracted a disease, and she was so hungry that she ate Guanyin soil, and her stomach swelled up. Before he could get out of the customs, he died on the road. If it weren't for the special personnel arranged by the Fengjun at that time to recruit refugees and distribute food to us, I am afraid that our whole family would have starved to death. Since joining the army, I have come to understand that it is because the military is not strong and the soldiers are not competitive, so the great powers can wantonly seize in China. They took all the good things, how could the common people not starve. ”

"Well, in the final analysis, those Western powers are our enemies, the previous anti-Chinese exclusions in the South Seas. It was also instigated by them behind their backs, this time to Nanyang. Let them pay with blood. ”

“haha。 It's good to have this determination, but your training is not enough, and you need to learn more about killing people. But one thing is up to you, I heard that Nanyang is a tropical rainforest, with lush vegetation and many flora and fauna. And there are poisons everywhere, plus smoke miasma everywhere, this is a big trouble! ”

Li Xun nodded without hesitation: "Don't worry, start from what I can remember." The first few times my family escaped the massacre, they all ran into the mountains, hid for ten days and half a month, and even had to hide for a month or two. ”

The ship rode the wind and waves to send this group of well-trained young people to the South Seas, and they will also start a new era in the South Seas.

Just after Zhang Tinglan threw a chess piece at Nanyang, he was not idle in China. On the one hand, he focused on rectifying the order of Beijing and Tianjin, controlled all kinds of liliang in his own hands, and then put all his pressure on the British.

The boycott of British goods, the ban on British capital investment, the blockade of British concessions and colonies, and the launch of huge demonstrations made the atmosphere between China and Britain tense like never before.

"To put it mildly, the British Yangtze River Fleet went north two days ago, and I also got news from Hong Kong that the British transferred two ironclad ships and more than a dozen auxiliary ships from the Far East Fleet, and they are also going north, and I guess their purpose is probably to blockade the sea off Tianjin." Yang Yuting calmly faced and introduced the situation to Zhang Tinglan.

"Hmph, don't do it yourself! Immediately tell the Navy and Air Force to mobilize everything for me, block the Bohai Sea, and never let a single British ship sail in, and if necessary, you can open fire! ”

After the order was issued, Zhang Tinglan was also a little lonely, in addition to naval operations, the navy also has a strong deterrent effect, and placing a powerful fleet there is a complete deterrent. Although Zhang Tinglan has airplanes and submarines in his hands, and there are a large number of torpedo boats and gunboats near the shore, with these liliangs, although there is no need to be afraid of the British fleet, but the deterrent effect is insufficient in the end.

If there is an aircraft carrier formation at this time, it will not be the British who have driven the fleet under their noses, but the fleet of the Feng army going south to blockade Hong Kong, which will give the British a headache.

Think about how majestic it would be, compared to the current verbal war with the British at the negotiating table, what extent can an aircraft carrier battle group go out, the British must have succumbed a long time ago.

"Neighbor Ge, after passing this hurdle in front of me, immediately increase investment in me, to use the fastest speed to build up the navy, the next time there is a war, I ask the Chinese navy to keep the enemy out of the country!"

Yang Yuting is also hahadaxiao: "A strong navy is a symbol of national strength, although the Beiyang Navy Division is a paper tiger, but with the Beiyang Fleet in charge, it is true that countries do not dare to underestimate the Manchu Qing." Of course, we don't want to get a paper tiger, but a strong navy is to deter liliang. In the past, it was good to guard the land outside the border, but once the whole country was controlled, the southeast coast, there was such a long coastline, and it was the essence of the country, without the protection of the navy, it would be impossible to say. ”

Just as Zhang Tinglan and Yang Yuting were discussing, the British fleet had already bypassed the Shandong Peninsula and sailed towards the Bohai Sea. Tensions between China and the UK continue to affect the safety of diplomats and British nationals, so the UK must carry out an evacuation operation. In addition, the British were also preparing to use the sea liliang to blockade the sea off Tianjin and put pressure on China.

At this time, Tianjin was the second largest city in China, prosperous in commerce and trade, and the gateway to Beijing, so its importance is self-evident. Just as the British army had just bypassed the Shandong Peninsula, several reconnaissance planes suddenly appeared in the air and skimmed over the fleet.

The commander of this northbound fleet was Rear Admiral James, and when he saw these planes hovering overhead, he immediately scolded the damned: "These incompetent bureaucrats, they are to blame for their stupidity!" ”

Although the British Navy is still a staunch cannon giant, it has paid considerable attention to the threat of air liliang, just like this Washington meeting, several powers have restrictions on the tonnage of aircraft carriers.

It's just that Britain was weak in the economy and financially embarrassed after the war, and the Far Eastern Fleet was even more backward, so it didn't have time to strengthen its air defense, so after encountering Chinese planes, James naturally felt bad.

Sure enough, about half an hour after the reconnaissance plane left, a formation of more than two dozen planes flew over the heads of the British. The planes, all hung with bombs, swept over the British fleet.

"Commander, what are we going to do?"

The British soldier also felt frightened and asked in a panic.

James's face was also extremely gloomy: "Don't be afraid, those yellow-skinned monkeys don't dare to drop bombs, do they have the courage to fight against the British Empire, for the glory of the Royal Navy, leave them alone, rush forward!" ”

The British troops mustered up a little courage, and at this moment, a larger formation of planes appeared from the northwest and flew quickly towards them. These planes were all stationed in Lushun and Dalian, and their mission was to defend this port, which was extremely valuable to the Feng army.

Most of these pilots had fought against the Japanese and knew how to use their planes to attack clumsy warships. After they arrived, the balance of forces began to tilt towards the Feng army.

"Commander, the Chinese have sent an ultimatum asking us to turn around and withdraw from the Bohai Sea within ten minutes, otherwise they will attack!"

Compared with warships, airplanes have a fatal problem, that is, there is not enough time to stay in the air, in order to find the British fleet, the Feng army has consumed a lot of fuel, and no matter how much time there is, it will definitely not be able to last.

James was also faced with the most difficult choice in his life at this time, whether to rush over regardless of the group, or to honestly withdraw from the Bohai Sea according to China's requirements, which was really too torturous.

At this time, suddenly a soldier shouted: "Submarine, submarine!" ”

Just on the surface of the sea not far away, a black periscope was revealed, and there was no doubt that Fengjun's submarine also appeared. On the battlefield in the Atlantic, German submarines created the most terrible nightmare for the British, and the sudden appearance of Chinese submarines at this time also shocked the British.

James really had the intention to directly order the sinking of this submarine desperately, but he knew that this was just a deliberate display by the Chinese to deter themselves, and there might be how many submarines were ready to attack underwater, and once a war was provoked, their fleet would be in danger.

At this time, a few more black clouds of black smoke appeared in the distance, and the surface ships of the Feng army finally came, led by two newly launched frigates, and a dozen torpedo boats sailed from the mouth of Arthur, blocking the way of the British fleet. Although this fleet is much smaller than the British, it is also a manifestation of China's will, and no one can do whatever they want on China's doorstep.

Faced with the all-round threat of land, sea and air, James finally wavered, and he could only painfully order the fleet to stop sailing, and immediately report the situation.

Chen Jiliang stood on the deck of the frigate Hushan, watching the British fleet stop, and a smile appeared on his face, China is no longer the sick man of East Asia with no defense at sea, and the era of wanting to set up a few guns on the port to make a country submit has passed.

"Wait, it won't be long before the Chinese fleet will appear at sea, and at that time, it will be us who will take the initiative to threaten and blockade you!"

The threat of force could not frighten the Feng army, ordinary economic sanctions were useless, and if the most severe measures were used, Zhang Tinglan would not be able to guarantee that he would not be killed.

In front of the British was a dead end, the sound of the demonstrations and protests outside became clearer and clearer, the roar of the Chinese was in his ears, Eston could no longer sit still, and said to the Indian servant: "Contact me the Chinese Foreign Ministry, we will talk!"
