Five, six, five are in full swing

The Inhuman Butcher! 》

Sitting in the train car, Li Mo took the newspaper clip that had just been faxed back from the United States, and praised Long Guozhang and Tang Shaoyi, who accompanied him: "Now Li Xiuyan and Chen Shaokuan are famous. ※※※※※I ※ I ※ ※

"You say, these bastards, why can't you save me worry?"

Looking at Emperor Li, who was smiling at the corner of his mouth, but with a worried and sympathetic look on his face, the former prime minister smiled bitterly at the corner of his mouth, and said secretly: "Your Majesty, aren't they your baby pimple?" ”

Of course, you can't say this to the emperor, so you can only feel dark in your heart and sigh: "Your Majesty, this reputation is not good, the United States is completely angered this time." ”

"You see, the newspapers are all condemning the massacre, and it can be seen that Wilson is determined to suppress all anti-war voices, and most of these newspapers are controlled by the plutocracy, and they can't wait to see the war as big as possible, so that they can make more profits, so I am worried that the United States will frantically expand its naval equipment during this time!"

"Provoke to anger, what's the big deal, expand the equipment line, but what about the sailors? I can't play it for a year or two! During this time, Lao Neng can bite him to death for half his life! Long Guozhang was very arrogant, not ashamed of the slaughter, but felt that the navy had a very glorious face, hahale said: "These two small, I just want to get it, I overturned such a large fleet in two hours, and a few more ruthless ones, the joy will be great." ”

"Okay, you think it's that simple?"

Li Mo glanced at him, pointed to the newspaper and said: "Germany has sunk 200,000 tons in a year, and he completed this number in one night, to be precise, in two and a half hours, which is already very good!" ”

"Besides, the transport fleet will be disbanded immediately after encountering an enemy that cannot be opposed, basically half an hour, and the speed of 15 knots can also allow them to sail more than 10,000 meters, which can be solved within two hours, the 31st fleet must have used heavy artillery and torpedoes, I am worried about their ammunition reserves."

Hearing this, Long Guozhang also became serious and said: "If I am not mistaken, starting from Falkland, the shells in the hands of Li Xiuyan and Chen Shaokuan have already consumed thirty percent, and the 360 shells we gave him are going to be used to shell New York, in case the armor-piercing shells are consumed, there will be trouble." ”

"yes."

Li Mo put the newspaper down, looked at Long Guozhang who spoke, and said with a wry smile: "The two Pennsylvania-class that have just been launched are definitely preparing to deal with the 31st fleet, and German intelligence says that the British Navy has also been transferred recently, and at least four capital ships have been transferred out to form a special interception fleet." ”

"I heard that two Spanish battleships have also been dispatched, and with other small fleets, the total number of warships deployed against them in the Atlantic may exceed a hundred!"

"What then? Do you want to let Li Xiuyan come back? When he heard about so many warships, Li Enfu was also shocked, the two Guam are now the treasures of the house, if they are lost in the Atlantic, it is really not worth it.

The important thing is that the Emperor also served on the Guam, and if something goes wrong or even if he is captured by the enemy, it will be a disaster for China.

Seeing Li Enfu who wanted to stop talking, Li Mo was secretly grateful, in fact, he didn't worry about Li Zhen, this little is almost a copy of his later life, seeing him is like seeing the stubbornness of his youth, so since he decided to send the 31st fleet into the Atlantic, he has to carefully look at the map every night, and try his best to use the few resources in the Atlantic to provide support to them. 【 I want: super fast update 】

But the Atlantic Ocean is too far away after all, and if it weren't for the fact that he was in politics and delaying the United States, he wouldn't have taken this risky step, but now that he has gone, there is no turning back!

"Thank you, sir, but since he has chosen this path, I can't interfere anymore." Li Mo waved his hand, leaned against the window a little tiredly, looked at his watch, the first batch of three task forces would return to Shanghai in a few hours, and when he thought of the 31st fleet that was put into the counterattack, the scenery in his eyes began to slowly thinn.

Li Mo's appearance made Li Enfu guess his thoughts, although Li Mo mostly adopted Western liberal and free development education methods for himself, but his love for children has never decreased, so after he glanced at Long Guozhang, he gritted his white teeth: "Guozhang, we have made such a big effort to support Germany, it is impossible for them not to do nothing!" ”

Long Guozhang nodded, a cold glint flashed in his eyes: "The Prime Minister and Yuan Shou have already sent telegrams to Wilhelm II, Moltke Jr. and Tirpitz respectively, if they can't provide support, then we don't mind spending a little more time in the southeast!" ”

In the German Admiralty building, Tirpitz lifted and put down the telegram, and he was a little undecided several times, the content of the telegram was not much, but the information was particularly important, that is, Hua asked the German Navy to launch a diversion operation in the near future to draw the attention of the British back to the North Sea!

The entire length of the telegram does not mention the fleet that entered the Atlantic, sank twenty American freighters and troop carriers in one night, and killed the Uruguayan fleet, but the deeper meaning of every sentence points to them.

The importance of this fleet, which China calls the 31st Fleet, is beyond doubt, as long as it stays in the Atlantic Ocean for one more day, then it will put pressure on Britain and the United States for one more day, especially the United States, as long as they do not leave, the United States will not dare to throw a little force into Europe.

Li Mo fulfilled his promise that Hua would immediately provide important help to the Allies as soon as the war began, and at that time he thought that it would be more likely to contain some Russians from the northern front, or start the Australian campaign to contain the Entente from the flank.

But he didn't expect that this madman actually sent two powerful battleships into the Atlantic Ocean to carry out activities, and wiped out the Uruguayan fleet in just a dozen days, which was really unexpected!

What surprised and surprised him was that according to the telegram sent back by Shi Pei, the Chinese Navy had completed a strategic counterattack from being attacked within two days, and in addition to their naval equipment and strength that shocked the world, Li Mo's tactics of luring the enemy into the depths were crazy!

If there is a slight accident at that time, then Australia will be cut off, and it will take several times the amount of troops to get through!

However, he will not think that it is Li Mo's super good luck, because from the geographical environment, the raid on the route from China to Australia in the early days of the war between Britain and the United States is the only choice, after all, the United States has no base in the open Northeast Pacific, and the environment in Malacca is harsh, and the area is full of China's eyeliner and bases, and the entry of the Grand Fleet is similar to looking for death, if it is himself, I am afraid that he will also dig a trap in the southwest for Britain and the United States to get in.

Now the question is, how can he support this fleet!

Previously, he had ordered all submarines and attack ships operating in the Atlantic Ocean to provide information to the Hua 31 fleet, and strengthened the surveillance of the coastline of the United States and Britain, and the intelligence of the American fleet was also provided by submarines before, but now it seems that Li Mo is not satisfied with such support, what he needs is large surface ships!

Thinking of this, Tirpitz immediately walked to the chart.

Compared with China, the living space of the German Navy is too bad, and the North Sea outlet has been successively laid by the British with nearly 10,000 mines, and the fleet has to use some brains if it wants to go to sea, not to mention that Jericho's large fleet is guarding Scarpa Bay, and the fleet will be intercepted by the British as soon as it goes to sea.

The big fleet doesn't work, so what about the small fleet?

The British battlecruiser formation suffered heavy losses, four battle cruisers were lost in the Pacific Ocean at one time, the Indefatigable and the Australia were under repair, and the Tiger also joined the fleet a few days ago, and now there are only three Lion class left in front of them!

On his side, except for the Sedlitz and Blucher, which have not been repaired, the other four are all intact, and the advantage of four to three is not ......!

The battle of the Dogle sandbank, which caused heavy losses to the German cruiser formation, was it time to return fire?

As soon as Tirpitz thought of this, a burning heat rose in his heart, if he could give the British a punch back at this time, then the inferiority and value of the German Navy would be returned, and Britain would inevitably retract its fist against the 31st fleet.

"Jill, have Sher and General Hippel come to me at once." Tirpitz's eyes were cold, and the adjutant had already knocked on the door: "Marshal, Your Majesty the Chief of Staff asked you to go to the meeting immediately, I heard that it was because Hua sent a telegram saying that he would bring us more allies in three days." ”

Tirpitz's eyes lit up, this Li Mo was urging himself to do it!

Several beige-painted taxis lined up and squeezed into the 16-shop wharf, and before the cars could stop, the late reporters jumped out of the car in a hurry and plunged into the crowd that was already dense and could not see the end.

The progress of the times has given many large cities in China a touch of modernity, especially in several municipalities directly under the central government, not only high-rise buildings have risen one after another, but also taxis similar to Europe and the United States have appeared on the road, as for the original rickshaw drivers are becoming fewer and fewer.

In front of several reporters, they finally rushed to the front, and saw that the gendarmes had already separated the dock, and before they could show their press cards to negotiate, a long whistle sounded in their ears.

Although not all of the mottled battleships lined up and slowly sailed into the Pujiang River, for the sake of publicity, the navy still transferred back four Beijing-class ships and four seriously injured Dalian-class ships, and tried their best to bring them back, just for today's needs.

The battleship was slow, and the bright blood cloud dragon claw flag fluttered high, bullet holes, and pieces of charred black, reflecting the tired but still upright sailors on the deck.

When the eight ships landed on the Pujiang River, the first thing that caught their eyes was the coffin that had been removed from the warship and covered with the national flag, and it was long and silent, under the shoulders of the soldiers, and stepped onto the pier.

Many young girls burst into tears in an instant, and when more and more coffins, wrapped in the national flag, lined up on the bustling road (now Nanjing Road), this world-class metropolis, fell into sinking and tears in the blink of an eye.

"We fulfilled our vows." Long Guozhang waved his arms in front of hundreds of reporters and tens of thousands of Shanghai citizens, and his voice could be heard from a few blocks away.

"We have fulfilled His Majesty the Emperor's promise to fight back, and the naval officers have protected the Empire's maritime frontier with their lives and blood!"

"But we also paid the price!"

"These fighters were all sacrificed in this counterattack battle."

"Now, the enemy continues to amass a powerful fleet, is still trying to defeat us, and continues to slaughter my soldiers! But I'm going to tell these militarists here that we, the Imperial Royal Navy, are not scared by blood and death! ”

"Our fleet will join hands with our allies to launch a fierce counterattack in the Atlantic!"

On August 20, only 20 days before China entered the war, the situation in the Pacific Ocean suddenly changed dramatically when the news of the victory in three counterattack naval battles and the sinking of a total of 25 Allied ships came from the mouth of Long Guozhang, commander-in-chief of the Royal Navy of the Chinese Empire.

On the 21st, Chinese Prime Minister Tang Shaoyi announced that 3 million reserve soldiers would be conscripted, and at the same time declared a state of emergency for the country.

On the same day, U.S. President Wilson also gave a speech in Washington, D.C., in which he announced a conscription of soldiers and the construction of a total of 60 naval ships, vowing that the United States would not back down and that victory in the war would belong to the United States and the Entente.

On the same day, Nakasawada, Japan's second postwar prime minister, announced that Japan would follow China and build a prosperous Asia together, swear to fight to the death those militarists who tried to get involved in Asia, and handed over the 10 reserve infantry divisions that had just completed conscription to the command of the Chinese General Staff.

On the same day, the DPRK also announced that it would hand over 10 infantry divisions to the Chinese leadership to jointly fight against foreign invaders.

In order to thank the two countries, the Chinese Emperor Li Mo personally called the Japanese emperor and the Korean president, and urged the prime minister's office to immediately provide loans worth 500 million blue coins to the two countries to help them restore the national economy.

On the 22nd, an unexpected scene occurred, when the King of Siam, who had always remained neutral, announced that he would join the alliance and join hands with China to build a prosperous Asia.

As the news of Siam's accession to the League spread, the entire southeastern peninsula was detonated, and large-scale revolts broke out in the Dutch, French, and British colonies.

On the 25th, the first batch of two infantry divisions of the Chinese Army landed in North Australia and Western Australia under the strict protection of nearly 40 warships, announcing the start of the battle for Australia!

Like the dominoes that have been toppled, with the full force of China and the United States, a real world war finally broke out, and the first declaration of war finally came from South America, which had been expected before.

On the 26th, the Colombian parliament approved by a majority the proposal to join the alliance and declare war on the Entente, and the next day, the three Chinese Marine Divisions, one Japanese and one Korean infantry division, and one Colombian Army Group assembled in Colombia before the war, a total of 90,000 men, rushed to the border between Colombia and Panama.

On the 26th, while the world was disturbed by the hot winds in the Pacific Ocean, waves were also set off in the Atlantic.

The four battlecruisers of the German High Seas Fleet, which had been silent, suddenly burst out of the North Sea, and although they were finally stubbornly blocked by the British fleet again, they caused serious damage to the Lion battlecruiser and the loss of three armored cruisers.

The sudden agitation of the German fleet made the British Admiralty not dare to be careless, and in the face of the unfavorable situation of losing one more ship on the battle patrol, it could only order the Tiger, which had already departed, to return immediately and join the attack on Germany.

On the 27th, in the face of unfavorable occupation, British Prime Minister Asquith announced that he had assumed all responsibilities and stepped down from the position of prime minister, replaced by his original aide, Chancellor of the Exchequer Lloyd George.

As the Empire's counterattack was announced, there was a sudden rumor on all fronts, and there was only one word to describe the world at this time.

It's all over!
