Time, in the complex emotions of countless people's expectations, fears, and confusions, gradually passes little by little; Finally, in 1894, on September 20.

This is a day of great importance for future generations of the Plane, and it deserves to be written about.

Countless experts, scholars, and history lovers have repeatedly studied the details in the pile of old papers, relying on this water to write one paper after another.

There are even countless online authors outside of the flower family, who are all writing books with their own brains, trying to depict if they travel to this historical moment.

As long as you do how and how you do it, everything will be different now.

Let them do this, everything is completely different because of the battle that took place in the Strait of Malacca today, which has led to the pattern of this planet for hundreds of years in the future.

And in the history books of various countries, some of these details are recorded like this......

Time: At 6:27 a.m., the sky in the Strait of Malacca was already bright.

The weather here is very good today, and a golden morning sun slowly rises from the east, shining the sea in a golden yellow.

There is no haze on the surface of the sea, and the line of sight is excellent, and you can see far away without a telescope.

The southwest monsoon, which usually blows from April to October, has completely stopped today; So that there is no wind and waves on the sea, which belongs to a rare good weather.

Thus in the Straits of Malacca, the northern shore of which belongs to the city of Malacca in Malaysia, and the southern shore belongs to certain areas of Dumai, Java.

In these areas, as long as the people who are on the shore at this moment, they can clearly see a huge fleet just by the naked eye, and it has appeared in their eyes.

It was the Yin Law Expeditionary Fleet that had finally arrived here after months of sailing and repairing.

Looking towards the sea from both sides, I saw that on the course in the middle of the strait, there was a fleet that could only be described as terrifying, moving forward.

At the forefront, there are a total of 29 steel warships of the two countries.

These warships, even if they were pulled out at random, could be used as the main ships of the Navy in the Far East.

In particular, the Sovereign, which has a displacement of more than 14,000 tons, looks like a steel mountain sailing on the sea from a distance.

In addition, even after being covered with cannon clothing, the number and caliber of the cannon barrels are still amazing, and it is full of a terrifying aura that makes people's souls tremble.

In the latter part of the world, there are 67 merchant ships and cruise ships.

Although they were not equipped with naval guns, the army of 32,700 men on them was still able to run rampant throughout the Far East.

For a while, everyone on both sides of the strait who saw such a terrorist fleet had different reactions.

All the natives, they all fell to the ground with their knees weak, and they did not dare to raise the slightest intention of resistance except for strong fear in their hearts.

If there must be any different thoughts in the hearts of these natives, it is that after thinking of those Chinese, a sinister smile unconsciously rose on the corner of their mouths.

Because they felt that in the face of such a terrifying fleet, the Xuange battalion must be dead.

And without the support of the Xuange camp, they can snatch wealth from those Chinese with impunity as before.

Some white-skinned men, after seeing such a huge fleet, jumped loudly, shouted, cheered and waved on the shore.

There is a great sense of pride in my heart, especially for those in the two countries.

They raised their chins one after another, like a king against the backdrop of a group of kneeling natives.

The only thing that made them feel a little regretful was that after looking left and right for a while, they didn't find any Chinese Americans.

Otherwise, with the frightened expressions of these people as a background, it must be more feeling.

You know, in the previous year, because of the support of the Xuange camp, they had to deal with these Chinese on an equal footing.

This is very unaccustomed and comfortable for them who are out of the Europa area, no matter where they go, and look down on all colored people.

It's just that in the face of the existence of the Xuange camp, it can't be suppressed by these.

Fortunately, from this day onwards, they will be supreme in the entire Far East......

At the same time, after putting down the telescope in his hand.

In the command tower of the fleet's flagship 'Sovereign', the commander of the Yin Law Expeditionary Fleet, Jackie Fisher, the third minister of the Great Yin Navy.

First, after drinking a sip of fragrant, or sweet black tea.

A faint question came out of his mouth: "The fleet of the Xuange battalion, what is their latest movement?" ”

The reason why I asked such a question was that at about five o'clock yesterday afternoon, the four warships of the Xuange Battalion fleet were surprisingly not hiding like lost dogs under their strong pressure.

Instead, it appeared somewhere at the southeastern end of the Straits of Malacca, in a relatively narrow area.

The ship was swept horizontally, and a horizontal formation was formed, blocking the Strait of Malacca, and assuming a posture of intending to fight a decisive battle with the expeditionary fleet.

Saying! This is the first time that the Xuange Battalion fleet has been completely exposed before everyone.

Under the tight defense of the two countries, in less than a year, they not only repaired the two dilapidated ironclad ships of the Dutch people.

I don't even know where to get two steel merchant ships of larger tonnage, which have been refitted in a way that can be described as crazy.

What the motivation is, outsiders can't see it clearly for a while.

However, according to visual inspection, at least the main guns of 210 mm caliber look quite thick armor; Just these four warships may be able to enter the top ten in the naval ranking of this planet.

Even Jackie Fisher had to admit that the Xuango Camp was truly a living legend.

If they are given enough time, they can really become a powerful force that the Great Yin Empire is afraid of.

Unfortunately, the powerful Yin and French countries will not give them a chance to develop, and the goal of this expeditionary fleet is to destroy them completely.

The Xuange camp will never have a chance to develop.

Therefore, for this combat mission, the only thing that Jackie Fisher is worried about is that the Xuange battalion has completely abandoned the base of Surabaya City.

Then he led the fleet, playing hide and seek with them like pirates, harassing their merchant ships.

Even if it is eventually exterminated, it will cost them a huge amount of energy and time.

So the other party put on such a decisive scene, Jackie Fisher only had a huge surprise in his heart; It is not at all believed that such an adversary will pose any threat to the expeditionary fleet.

On the contrary, I was worried about the trouble if the people in the Xuange camp figured it out and suddenly ran away.

After hearing the order of the fleet commander, a major on duty did not dare to be careless at all.

Got up, and hurriedly replied: "Your Excellency Fisher, according to the relevant infiltrating personnel, the message sent back by telegram indicates.

The two ships of the Xuange Battalion fleet that participated in the Battle of Dadonggou, the Guifei and the Fenghuahui, took at least 6 days to arrive in this sea area, and it was too late to participate in this naval battle.

And they are badly damaged and in need of a major overhaul, which is no longer a threat.

The other four ships, including the 'Barong', 'Lao Hei', 'Hanjiang', and 'Team Zheng'.

At present, it is still about 130 nautical miles east of the Lijiapo base, which is considered to be the narrowest position in the Strait of Malacca, and there is no intention of leaving.

By the way, according to the current pace of the fleet's advance, we have two hours left at most, and the lookout on the mast will see them. ”

Hearing that the main force of the Xuange Battalion fleet had not yet run, Jackie Fisher immediately let go of the biggest worry in his heart.

After drinking a cup of morning tea, which was considered a must-have cup of black tea, a string of orders came out of his mouth: "The telegram report tells the Dulans that at most after noon today, the Xuange Battalion fleet will be history."

So they can get ready to do it, and be sure to leave the people from the Xuange camp in Surabaya City behind, and don't let them run away.

Of course, you should also be careful not to destroy the factories and research laboratories of the Bad Xuange Camp, some of their advanced machinery and technology are also a huge asset. ”

Under this order, naturally some people hurriedly went to work.

It's just that neither Jackie Fisher, who issued the order, nor the telegraph on the Sovereign, thought of such a thing.

The telegrams they sent were now close to the edge of the waterway on one side.

It seems that they are afraid of being hit and capsized on a small boat, and some of the people hiding in it are intercepted by a machine DIY by the electronic experts of the Cross team.

Soon after, such a telegram was forwarded to the sea, which was only seventy or eighty kilometers away, aboard the 'Barong', which was waiting for the opponent to appear.

After receiving such a telegram, which on the surface seems to be incomprehensible, it is not known at all.

Cross was not surprised at all, and took out a small notebook from his pocket, and compared it with some of the contents that had been deciphered long ago.

It took only a few minutes for a completely new message to be translated.

Not to mention the order issued by Jackie Fisher, there is no difference between the two; But the basic meaning is translated from all over the United States.

Therefore, since the cross shot and deciphered the Yin Law and other telegram codes, which were still primitive, everything on the entire battlefield was completely transparent to them.

At a glance, after reading this telegram quickly.

After the cross signed the draft of the message, a sentence came out of his mouth: "Forward it to the security department of Surabaya City, and the two of them will know how to deal with it."

These people of Helan are ruined, this is disgusted that their lives are too long......"

******

Time: 8:41 a.m.

The lookouts of the fleets on both sides, discovering each other's existence almost at the same time, immediately shouted with extreme excitement:

"About sixteen nautical miles away, the Xuange Battalion fleet was discovered~"

"At a distance of about 30 kilometers, the Yinfa Combined Fleet appeared~"

At such shouts, the personnel of the two fleets immediately tensed their nerves and rushed to their respective combat posts; The commanders also issued their own orders.

On the side of the Yin Fleet, Jackie Fisher instinctively took a look at the binoculars, but found that the distance was too far away, and he really couldn't see anything.

After a smack on his face, a command came out of his mouth:

"Inform all merchant ships in the rear to stop advancing, the battleships adopt the formation of the Battle of Trafalgar, and the Yinfa fleet is in two columns, and I will kill the Xuange battalion fleet like two sharp swords.

Tell everyone in the fleet that if they get rid of their opponents within two hours and arrive at the Lijiapo base before nine o'clock in the evening.

Then I guarantee that at the Lijiapo base, there will be enough barbecue and rum, and even gentle native women to entertain them~"

"Two hours? Your Excellency Fisher, you are looking too highly at the Xuange Battalion fleet.

I admit that they have indeed performed miracles countless times, and they also have courage that ordinary people cannot imagine; But these did not work at all in the face of the tonnage of the battleship and the ship's guns.

In an hour at most, we will be able to deal with four of their ships; Before dark today, the fleet will be able to reach the Lijiapo base.

So Dear Lord Fisher, it seems that we need to thank you in advance for the barbecue and rum. ”

After hearing this, a high-ranking officer made a playful remark, and such a playful statement immediately caused everyone in the command tower to burst into laughter.

There is one counted, and there is no pressure at all.

And on the opposite 30 km, in the conning tower of the 'Baron'.

After Yang Dongli put down the binoculars, he shouted out first: "I order, all the radars against the sea will be turned on immediately~"

Let Comrade Lao Yang issue such an order, in fact, it is somewhat helpless; Because of the radar installed on their ships, the maximum detection distance of the sea is only 10 nautical miles, that is, more than 18 kilometers.

When the weather is a little better, such a distance is not far enough for a lookout to see.

Don't dislike this radar is too broken and the quality is not good.

You must know that in the 35 years of World War II in the modern plane, when the German batons tested the radar on the "Bailey" test ship, that thing only had a detection range of 9 kilometers.

Therefore, the radar on their ship is still a cross-era equipment.

When the meeting really starts, it can still play a huge role.

Not to mention that under the order of Comrade Lao Yang's 'radar start', many people in the command tower immediately began some rather cumbersome operations.

The second leader of the Xuange Battalion team roared again; As in the case of combat mobilization, more orders were issued to:

"First, order the torpedo boat units to be ready and attack with all their might in half an hour.

Let me sink the merchant ships behind the Yin Law Expeditionary Fleet as much as possible, and block the waterways, so that these grandchildren can't run if they want to.

Second, order the air forces, thirty-five minutes later, to begin the sortie and attack the warships of the Yin Fa Expeditionary Fleet with all their might.

Priority attack on the flagship 'Sovereign', today we are going to send the Great Yin Empire, a Zhenguo artifact, into the bottom of the sea like a piece of broken copper and iron.

Let these guys never dare to peep into the east as long as they think of this battle in the future, because this has been the land of flower growers since ancient times.

Third, order all naval guns to be ready for loading and aiming.

Once you're in range, you don't need to ask for instructions, you can fire right away, and hit me hard~"

In Yang Donglian's roar, all the people in the main fleet of the Xuange Battalion immediately fell into an extremely excited mood as if they had been beaten with chicken blood.

You must know that they were originally full of hatred for the Yin Fa, the great powers that opened the country with cannons, brought duck pieces and a series of humiliations.

Just yesterday, in response to the 'Gao Sheng' incident, the results of the investigation of the Great Yin Empire have come out.

They believed that while the two sides were fighting at that time, the 'Gao Sheng' was still filled with a large number of fighters, although it did not have the slightest ability to resist.

Therefore, they expressed great regret but understandability for the little devil's sinking of the 'Gao Sheng', anyway, it is these grandchildren who are making excuses for continuing to support the little devil.

In this case, today I want them to regret and understand.

Look at this kind of thing falling on their heads, can they still stand and talk without backache......

Twenty minutes later, on the southern shore of the southeastern end of the Straits of Malacca, a seafront area full of wild grasses, shrubs and wild trees.

After taking out his pocket watch and looking at it, Er Fat ripped off some of the camouflage made of leaves and thatch on his skull.

A sentence shouted out of his mouth: "When the time comes, torpedo boat troops, attack immediately~"

At such an order, a figure suddenly appeared from under the pile of 'bushes', and when they threw away the camouflage around them, they could see that the platforms they were on were torpedo boats.

On these torpedo boats, four 50-horsepower flywheel diesel engines were quickly started.

Then the huge momentum generated pushed the small boat, which had a displacement of no more than 50 tons, towards the Yin Fa troop transport ship that had stopped in the middle channel of the Strait of Malacca, which was more than ten kilometers away in front of him.

Soon after, the speed was increased to a maximum speed of 32 knots.

The scene and movement of a total of ten torpedo boats rushing out suddenly was not small at all; Naturally, it was impossible to hide the attention of those people on the troop carrier.

After reacting, the person who came was friend or foe, and his own ship did not have the slightest ability to protect himself.

A group of Yin Fa infantry and crew members who were originally lying leisurely on the side of the ship, intending to watch a naval battle like a vegetable, immediately let out all kinds of screams from their mouths.

There was a shout, and he quickly took out his rifle and opened fire to prevent the other party from approaching.

There was a scream, telling the captain to hurry up and run away.

Just look at the torpedo boats at a high speed of 32 knots, as if they were about to fly on the sea; Everyone's hearts are extremely cold, and they know one thing:

It was impossible for them, these bulky merchant ships, to run away in the face of such an astonishing speed opponent.

Then the only way is to hurry to the front fleet for help.

Fortunately, before their telegrams and flags for help were sent, three of the Yin Fa ships in the rear of the forward fleet began to turn around.

It's ready to kill back and rescue them.

Unfortunately, by the time they returned, it was too late......
