"Order the troops to sweep the New Territories and Kowloon areas. At the same time, the heavy artillery brigade was transferred to me and I was given artillery to Hong Kong Island. Feng Yuxiang's face flashed with a touch of ruthlessness.

"Yes!"

With Feng Yuxiang's order, hundreds of howitzers of more than 150 mm were pushed to the shore and launched a fierce shelling of Hong Kong Island on the opposite side.

Feng Yuxiang's bombardment of Hong Kong Island was only to vent his anger, and although Hong Kong Island is not large, it cannot be flattened by means of howitzers. Moreover, Feng Yuxiang's move is also to convey to Hong Kong Island on the other side of the strait an attitude that the squadron is bound to win.

I have to say that the move of the national "Night Demon Seal" defense army has completely shaken the whole of Hong Kong. Originally, Hong Kong locals did not believe that the squadron dared to take the opportunity to recover Hong Kong Island, but now it is completely dumbfounded. At the same time, those who stayed in Hong Kong were also shocked by the combat effectiveness of the squadron. Although the Sino-British operation in Burma was larger, and there were even large-scale air battles with the world's most advanced aircraft, Burma was far from Hong Kong Island. Coupled with the deliberate concealment of the British, the news of the defeat of the British ** team in Burma did not spread in Hong Kong, and not many people believed the news brought by merchant ships. After all, those merchant ships are also hearsay.

But now it's different. The British mighty 18th Division withdrew to Hong Kong Island in embarrassment, and many people saw it. At the same time, the connection between Hong Kong Island and Kowloon and the New Territories was also severed. China's shelling of Hong Kong Island made them realize that the squadron had really hit it.

You know, since the Opium War was launched between China and Britain, China was defeated and forced to cede Hong Kong Island to Britain. By now, Hong Kong has left China for more than half a century. In the past half century, Hong Kong has become the most important region in Asia, and it is also the first region in Asia to move the "Night Demon Seal" in Asia. In addition, in the past half century, China's society has changed the most, from the beginning of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom Movement to the establishment of the Republic of China, China's internal turmoil has not stopped. Hong Kong, which is the closest to the mainland and has the advantage of being a foreigner's territory, has become an ideal location for Chinese revolutionaries to carry out their activities. Many modern revolutionaries have organized activities in Hong Kong, and many revolutionaries who have failed in their revolutionary activities in China have also chosen to open China through Hong Kong. For more than half a century, there has long been a mixed situation of dragon society and various schools of thought in China.

Originally, during the confrontation between China and Britain, there was speculation in Hong Kong that China might send troops to recover Hong Kong Island, but the Chinese who realized that the British were powerful were just thinking about it, and no one took it too seriously. Even many people are pessimistic about the Sino-British conflict in Burma. Some even called this Sino-British conflict the Third Opium War. In the event of China's defeat, the domestic situation will inevitably revert to a semi-colonial and semi-feudal society again. Moreover, other Western colonial powers will inevitably pounce on it at the first time, and China's fate will become bleak again.

Major General Cherrison withdrew to Hong Kong Island, and the first pair sent a telegram to China, reporting in detail on the situation in Hong Kong, and at the same time analyzing the strength of the "Daredevil Seal" defense force. and called Lieutenant General Stuart, the Supreme Commander of the British Forces in Burma. I joined him to send a military intelligence telegram to the British mainland. It was hoped that their telegram would lead to a reassessment of China's power within Britain.

Unlike Burma, Hong Kong is a large city with a large number of distant friends, and the telegraph industry is extremely developed, almost all countries have intelligence agencies here, and Hong Kong's well-developed newspaper industry has made the news of China's attack on Hong Kong and its occupation of Kowloon and the New Territories on the other side of the country spread to all directions. The stupidity of the West, which had been instigated by the British, moved the West to settle down again. They are only a small country, and the matter of the labor expedition can only beat the side drum at most, and now the British have suffered a big loss in the Far East, if they are mixed in. There will inevitably be a loss of decision.

Small country though fearful with the British. Right. After all, Wei Dan is a country of dú lì, and it is impossible for the British to interfere with the rights of the Lord of these countries, the "Night Demon Seal", so these countries have long been in the wall

There are interests rushing up, and there are no interests to hide far away. In addition, France is still the giant among the countries that are on the sidelines, which makes Britain even more tough.

In Asia, China's dispatch of troops has caused the biggest shock.

"Yaga! Is China crazy? Sending troops to Hong Kong at this time, do they really want to start a world war! "The already somewhat neurotic emperor had to bow down to the level of madness.

"Your Majesty the Emperor, this dispatch of the squadron will inevitably cause a fierce attack from the British. At that time, China will be attacked on three sides, and it will be the time for the empire to launch a full-scale counteroffensive ......", Shan Shan Youpeng is already an old fellow in his seventies. But he still spoke with a neutral spirit, and when he talked about war, his face was still full of red light, like an impulsive hairy boy.

"Yo Xi, Terauchi Aki, you immediately contact the British Ambassador, it seems that we need to discuss further cooperation with us! Moreover, my empire is a core member of the International Alliance, so can we also fight some doctrines in this regard? The emperor said with excitement on his face.

"Yes, as a core member of the International Alliance, we must make full use of this identity and unite all countries in the world as much as possible to form the ** Alliance. If we can bring China down or wipe it out. Then the hegemony of the Far East of the Great Rì Empire will be just around the corner.

"By the way, hasn't there been news of the naval battle between the Imperial Fleet and the Chinese Navy? Counting the time, China's naval fleet should be completely wiped out, right? The Emperor suddenly spoke to the Minister of the Navy.

The Minister of the Navy's face changed, and he said with some concern: "Your Majesty the Emperor, there is still a battle on the front line. We dispatched four battleships and vowed to send the Chinese naval formation to the bottom of the sea. ”

"Yo Si! Four to one, the Chinese Navy is in a catastrophe. The navy of the Great Rìben Empire was the largest in Asia. The Emperor said with a smile.

At this time, the head of the special high school broke into the emperor's imperial meeting with a pale face.

"Your Majesty the Emperor, it's not good!" Ichiro Ueno, the person in charge of the rì Bent High School, said loudly.

"Ueno-qing, if there is anything, just say it directly!" The emperor's face sank, and the good mood just now was lost because of Ueno Ichiro's crying and mourning howl, and his face naturally became unsightly.

"Our navy is defeated!" One sentence caused a shock in the entire rì high-level management.

"Yaga! How is this possible? The Admiral Exclaimed.

"It can't be!" Yamashita Yutomo Huoran stood up and stared at Ichiro Ueno with his eyes.

"What the hell is going on? We have four battleships in the battle, are there other naval units in the battle? The Emperor said in a deep voice. Upon hearing this, the first reason for this was that there were navies of other countries involved. After all, the Chinese Navy is synonymous with weakness for the Rì Navy.

"No, the main fleet of our navy encountered in the waters of the Yellow Sea of China and the main force of the Chinese fleet heading north, and the two sides engaged in a fierce battle. Not long after the battle began, the Kirishima was hit at the ammunition depot and caused the ammunition to detonate, affecting the Kirishima's power room. Later, the Shancheng pursued the Chinese Taishan and successfully sank it. The remaining King Kong and Fusang jointly attacked China's only battleship, the Běi Jīng. "Speaking of which, all the high-level officials already have a basic understanding of the situation on the battlefield. Although the Kirishima was unlucky enough to be hit at the beginning of the war, leaving the top management helpless, the other performance of the fleet was still good. At the very least, the sinking of China's first truly large warship, the Taishan, was a victory for the Navy.

"What's next? The Běi Jīng was sunk? The Admiralty Minister said urgently.

"No, although the Fusang and the King Kong damaged the Chinese Běi Jīng, they also allowed the Chinese Běi Jīng's main guns to penetrate the King Kong and affect the power of the King Kong. The Běi Jīng took the opportunity to break out of the encirclement and fled towards Qingdao, China. The Kongo was damaged and had to return with several destroyers. The Fuso contacted the Yamashiro and laughed at more than a dozen warships rushing to Qingdao, intending to completely bury the Chinese Navy. Ichiro Ueno said.

"Go on!"

The Chinese Běi Jīng has not yet been sunk, and its two battleships have been damaged by their predecessors and completely withdrawn from the battle.

"The Haolai Shancheng and Fusang came to Chinese waters, and the Chinese gathered a hundred specially modified armed merchant ships loaded with huge cannons in the Qingdao area, as well as bombers to participate in the battle. Our...... Our mountain city ......"

"What happened to the Yamashiro?" Lord Chancellor roared loudly. The emperor and the others also looked at him with burning eyes.

"The Yamashiro was hit by a torpedo and sank!" Ichiro Ueno whispered. But the high-level Rì was immediately stunned.

"Yaga! That's impossible! The high-level countries, including the emperor and Yamaguchi Aritomo, opened their mouths wide in shock.

"Damn, how could a torpedo sink the Yamashiro. Our Yamashiro is a super dreadnought, with extremely thick armor! The Admiralty Minister said incredulously.

"You don't know exactly why, but the Yamashiro was indeed sunk by a concentration of Chinese torpedoes. In addition, the Fusang was also seriously injured and was moving towards the North Korean seaport.

"It's time to fall! Even if China amassed a hundred armed merchant ships, it would not be a match for the superdreadnought. Damn, did China use a new high-powered torpedo? Masaki said.

"There is no description of this in the telegram, there is ......"

"What else?" Seeing Ueno Ichiro stop talking, the emperor's face was a little distorted and roared.

"And ...... Kirishima ...... Missing! ”

"What? How is it possible, isn't the Kirishima protected by warships? How could it have disappeared? All the high-level officials looked at Ichiro Yamano.

Ichiro Ueno hung his hands, not daring to say a word.

"What do you mean, in this battle, the navy of our Great Empire dispatched four battleships and dozens of destroyer cruisers, not only did not complete the task of destroying the Chinese Navy, but lost more than half of its own strength, and even four battleships?" The Emperor said with a twisted face.

"Yes!"
