Chapter 42: Active Attack (Favorites, Recommendations)
"According to the information we have sold, except for as many as twenty-five warships sent by small Japan and thirty-two warships of the British Far East Fleet as an independent fleet, the rest include the United States, France, and Germany...... The warships of the other powers, combined with the number of twenty-eight warships each, have combined three fleets, a total of five fleets, and will disperse to attack the coastal areas of Guangdong......"
On the seaside, Lu Haodong continued to speak with fear on his face, more than a hundred warships, not to mention that this number is already extremely scary, just they are scattered, it is enough to make Ning Buqi tired.
"Scared ......"
Looking at Lu Haodong's frightened look, Ning Buqi laughed, he reached out and patted Lu Haodong's shoulder, "More than a hundred warships are indeed terrifying, even I have to deal with them carefully, but these more than a hundred warships are divided into five fleets, although it seems that this will make me tired, but in fact, it also gives us a chance......"
Ning Buqi showed a cold smile on his face, but his eyes looked south.
"Why do we have to wait for them to attack, in the south we still have two occupied places that have not been recovered, since war has been declared, then, we need no more politeness, first take back our lost territory, and then sweep away their power in the Far East, and when the country is calm, I will visit these robbers and gentlemen one by one...... Let's get our navy ready, come with me to Hong Kong and Macao, by the way, bring enough men to sail the ship, and then we will have more warships......"
The proud words spit out from Ning Buqi's mouth, Lu Haodong's body trembled, an excited look appeared on his face, and a look of impatience flashed in his eyes, Hong Kong and Macau, these two places are the first places of pain in China, and they are also the first places to be completely occupied, not to mention that Lu Haodong and others have awakened their own national consciousness, even if an old peasant in the countryside is afraid that these two places will be robbed by the powers, he will subconsciously curse.
However, if the great powers ignore it when they seize Hong Kong and Macao, then Guangdong will still be attacked, and the attack will not make their achievements completely come to naught.
"Don't worry, they can't afford to lose these two places, and they don't dare to ignore ......"
Looking at Lu Haodong's eyes, Ning Buqi suddenly saw what he was thinking, and then he smiled and spoke, and then forcibly pushed Lu Haodong to find Huang Feihong, attacking these two places He had considerations.
First of all, Hong Kong and Macao are closest to Guangdong, and then, Hong Kong is a colony of the British Empire, and even if the sun does not set, it is still extremely arrogant, and it is absolutely impossible to see its colony being retaken by others.
Then, on the Macau side, it was even simpler, with the current position of Portugal among the great powers and their national strength, they could no longer afford to lose the colony of Macao.
Although Ning Buqi did not have any rights to grasp himself, he had a very special position in the huge forces spanning Guangdong, Jiangxi, Lianghu and even the five provinces of Taiwan at this time, and when he decided to attack Hong Kong and Macao, not to mention that Huang Feihong, Lu Haodong and Sun Wen had no opinions, and even Liu Yongfu, who was far away in Taiwan, said by telegram that he did not have any opinions.
Moreover, in the case of the declaration of war by the great powers and the strong preparation of Ning Buqi to counterattack, Lu Haodong and Liu Yongfu finally decided to correct the name of their newly formed forces, and finally named their current forces the Patriotic Army.
The day after the name was decided, Lu Haodong directly declared war in the name of the Patriotic Army to all the previous powers that had declared war as well, and sent a note to the British and Portuguese Patriotic Forces to prepare to take back Hong Kong and Macao.
The note issued by public telegram immediately caused an uproar, and the Manchu Qing Dynasty, which was preparing to attack Beijing and the four southern provinces being annexed by the Patriotic Army, was a rare joy under great pressure, while many patriots and even ordinary people in China had great admiration and concern for the Patriotic Army, and in the hearts of these people, although the Patriotic Army made great movements, and there were rumors that they had won against the Great Powers, even if the decaying Manchus had won so many battles with the Great Powers.
As for the big movement, no matter how big it is, it is not as big as the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom back then, so these patriots and ordinary people are not optimistic about the Patriotic Army, they admire the courage of the Patriotic Army and the pride in declaring war on the foreign powers, but they think that the Patriotic Army will die in this way.
However, those patriots and ordinary people did not know that in fact, after the photo of the Patriotic Army appeared, the great powers were also in chaos.
The other powers, led by France, persuaded Britain not to care about the temporary gains and losses of Hong Kong, and after sweeping Guangdong and capturing Beijing, there was time to slowly clean up Ning Buqi, however, by the way, he gave Portugal a warning, be honest, follow your 'brothers', otherwise I will beat you.
It's just that the British governor of Hong Kong and the British high-level in the Far East obviously don't see it as openly as those powers that have nothing to do with themselves.
Ning Buqi is not strong by the army, if he relies on the army, then, ruining his rear and severely damaging the morale of his army can indeed suppress him to the weakest, and then easily clean him up, but Ning Buqi's strength comes from himself, in this case, no matter how Guangdong is, no matter how Beijing is, it doesn't matter to Ning Buqi.
So, once Hong Kong is taken by Ning Buqi, will Britain still have a chance to turn Hong Kong into a colony again?
"Have we delivered our latest mines and depth charges, are you sure that the new mines and new depth charges can kill that monster......" (At the request of the book friend, no more foreign languages, huh...... In fact, it is such a complicated foreign author, who will not translate)
In the command room of the British Far East Fleet, the British Far East high-level officials looked at the commander of the British Far East Fleet and asked coldly.
The attack on Beijing itself was initiated by him, and then it was formed with the consent of the high-level leaders of other powers in the Far East, but when he launched it, he never thought that there would be a monster like Ning Buqi in the world, and now, Ning Buqi also made a counterattack to attack Hong Kong, and other powers refused to stop attacking Beijing.
If Ning Buqi really defeats Hong Kong, not to mention whether it can be recaptured in the future, or whether Beijing can be captured, he will be absolutely doomed.
"I promise ......"
The commander of the Far East Fleet nodded calmly.
"Very well, send a telegram to the Portuguese and let their fleet come to our side, and then we will openly go to Canton, lure that monster out, and kill him......"
A low, cold voice came out of the mouth of the British Far East high-ranking man.
