"This despicable group of British, the fleet of the empire paid a friendly visit to them, and they actually took the opportunity to seize our battleship for half a month!"

At the beginning of the sunrise, the anger of the people of Qingzhou City was ignited by the content of a newspaper.

In the streets and alleys, every household is discussing this issue.

"The British must be taught a tragic lesson, the war in India did not hurt the British mainland, the British in the British homeland could not appreciate the strength of the empire, they would only live in the sweet dreams created by the British politicians, and only by teaching these British citizens with cannonballs would they understand their current position."

Next to the Empire State Building, which is under construction in Qingzhou, workers are excitedly discussing the contents of the newspaper.

"It's enough to teach those politicians a lesson, and they are not wrong in what the people do to kill people." A worker said as he ate the bread.

The worker reading the newspaper suddenly showed a sneering expression, and he said: "I don't understand it when I talk to an idiot like you. ”

"Who do you call an idiot? Something wrong with what I said. The ridiculed workers were a little angry.

"Then I ask you, who made the guns and bullets of the British? Who enjoyed the dividends of Britain's foreign expansion and lived a quality of life, and who supported Britain's foreign colonization for a better life? The workers with the newspapers asked one by one.

"The British, of course." The worker understood, and said with a little weakness.

"Isn't that it, what British soldier is not from a British family, how can they not think about the innocence of others when they commit massacres outside?"

"That is, it is said that the British kill people with a bounty." Someone chimed in.

"It's not wrong for you to say that, there will be no souls under the cannonballs of the empire, and for the same reason, we are all willing to advance and retreat with the empire."

“……”

One by one, the workers chimed in.

Qingzhou Naval Academy.

When the newspaper arrived, the Naval Academy was strangely angry, one from the British and the other at the Imperial Navy's failure to take strong action.

"Now our navy can't raise its head, I really can't understand why Commander-in-Chief Yue Yun is willing to endure such humiliation."

One of the cadets trembled with anger and longed to board the battleship now to teach the British a lesson.

Once upon a time, Yue Yun was a role model in the Naval Academy, and every cadet made it his life's goal.

But this incident apparently changed the minds of these students.

They no longer worshipped Yue Yun as an idol, because they suddenly discovered that Yue Yun would also make stupid mistakes.

"If it were me, I'd rather die in battle than survive...... another cadet shouted.

Before he finished his words, he suddenly felt a pain in his buttocks, and the whole person flew out and fell on his heels.

When he raised his head, he found that his instructor Ding Chang was standing behind him.

"It's all very idle, isn't it, everyone runs around the playground ten laps, if anyone dares to be lazy, Lao Tzu will break his legs!"

Ding Chang said angrily.

The trainees were silent when they saw Ding Chang, they knew very well the instructor's fiery temper, and they went to the playground one by one, running faster than a rabbit.

All the students left, and Ding Chang looked at Liu Chen beside him at this time and said, "The general's reputation is completely ruined. ”

Liu Chen said: "Yes, many admirals now have a lot of complaints about the generals, and now many people are still worried that they will be implicated?" It's ironic. ”

"There are perfidious people at any time, and it is normal for some people to only think about being promoted and making a fortune, but it is a pity that the general has been fighting for half his life, and now he has been removed from his official position, leaving a stain on his life." Ding Chang said.

"A stain is a stain, it's better than throwing away your life, the general is also fifty this year, and it can be regarded as a full house of children and grandchildren, what is more real than enjoying the joy of family." Liu Chen said.

Ding Chang looked at Liu Chen, "Then what do you think?" “

"The order has been issued, the emperor wants to cut off all British maritime power, and I will go to Europe to wash away our shame." Liu Chen said.

Ding Chang nodded when he heard this, "It's to fight back, otherwise where will our Naval Academy's face go in the future?"

Liu Chen sighed, Yue Yun was dismissed from office, and now the navy has really become a four-part world, after thinking about it for a long time, he vaguely understood something, but these things can't be said in a righteous and bright way.

Morning tea shop.

Niu Ben and Luo Quan were drinking morning tea, and with the rise of the empire, the empire's standard of living improved rapidly.

There are a variety of shops doing various businesses in Qingzhou City, and the only thing he and Luo Quan like the most is this morning tea.

"Yue Yun, this kid is not stupid, it's just that this matter could have been handled better." Luo Quan drank tea, with some vicissitudes in his voice.

Niu Ben was reading the newspaper with reading glasses, he glanced at Luo Quan, they have handed over the ranch to their families to take care of in the past two years, after all, they are old and some things are inadequate.

Especially Luo Quan, after Luo Hong died, it seemed that the oil ran out overnight, and he was not interested in anything.

"That's right, but who can understand what he really thinks?" Niu Ben said.

Luo Quan took a sip of tea and said: "Anyway, the emperor's current position is unshakable. “

Niu Ben nodded and laughed, "It doesn't matter what he does with these things, as the so-called is not in his position, he doesn't seek his own politics, besides, the empire's weapons and equipment are updated too fast, and we old bones can't keep up, so it's better to leave it to the young people to do, and what to do without while occupying the pit." ”

"Hahaha......" Luo Quan couldn't help laughing when he heard this, he pointed to Niu Ben and said: "Image, image, the current empire has many talents, and it is indeed not as difficult to find as before." “

While the two were chatting, the Cabinet and the General Staff were unprecedentedly busy.

Pang Yukun issued an order for the Imperial Shipyard to fully produce various types of transport ships and warships, purchase all kinds of canned food from the canneries, and at the same time open the construction of the Suez Canal to the private sector and allow private construction companies to participate in the Suez Canal project.

Cui Shang'an, on the other hand, demanded that military factories produce all kinds of weapons and ammunition in large quantities, speed up the installation of second-generation Han-style rifles, howitzers, and tanks, and strive to widen the generation gap between the two sides in the war.

At the same time, the General Staff also asked the automobile factories to provide a large number of military transport vehicles, and they would fully respond to the technological superiority of the empire in this war.

While the empire was actively preparing for the upcoming war, Xiao Ming officially signed the order to fight against Britain in the imperial study.

This order was sent to the British embassy in Qingzhou City as soon as possible, and at the same time that the declaration of war was delivered, Xiao Ming ordered the expulsion of all British people in the territory.
