In addition to secretly investigating, the British wanted to find out how those ships came from, whether they were built in Germany or in the outside world, which was very crucial, when the war began, it was necessary for every country to detect the enemy's situation, especially for the capital ships, missing one or two, it was understandable, and it was an unforgivable mistake to miss 9 ships at once.

Britain and Germany, reconnaissance and counter-reconnaissance are quite powerful, but the two sides are too targeted, some basic things, or investigated and checked, found that it is unlikely to be produced in Germany, then it means that there are several slipways in Germany, Britain knows in mind, on each slipway, there are tasks in the execution, it is impossible to have time to make up 9 capital ships.

At this time, an intelligence officer with a strong divergent mind proposed a possibility, could it be that Germany was overseas, and there was still a secret slipway?

This question, in fact, has touched the core of the problem, but more than 30,000 tons, or even 50,000 tons of slipways, this is a difficult thing to solve in any country, Britain and Germany are in a long period of accumulation, gradually have these, such a slipway, unless it is completely controlled in their own hands, only rest assured, who dares to let him easily leave the sphere of influence, that minute will be taken away?

Even if these intelligence officers think about it, it is impossible to figure it out, the rise of the Northwest, on the one hand, is Yang Yuanzhao, the traverser, on the other hand, it is an all-in-one machine, under the impetus of these two points, the Northwest has almost a large amount of funds, and finally promoted the production of large docks and battleships, and put the first batch of qualified products. Sold to Germany.

Germany is a pie-in-the-sky good thing, and there is no need to invest. Only use to send personnel to test, by the way. Received such a huge battleship.

This possibility, the Intelligence Bureau did not give up, but took him as a direction, this direction is not very important, in the investigation, an unexpected discovery, let the Intelligence Bureau notice that between the northwest and Germany, relying on Baghdad and the 3B railway, to establish a close connection. The northwestern layout of Borneo and Scheer's fleet shots, all have a lot to do with Malacca, the direct railway from Germany to Baghdad, has replaced the sea and land, has become the lifeline of Germany, after entering the war, the sea transport has been completely cut off, there will not be an ocean-going cargo ship supplies, will be transported to Germany from the outside. This highlights the importance of the 3B railway.

Before, I was just afraid that it would anger China and make China completely fall to the allies, but now it seems. The unclear intimacy between the Northwest and Germany is very problematic.

The Borneo affair was made up by the Northwest. There is no actual evidence in Britain, but there are millions of Chinese. This is not always made up out of thin air, the former Southeast Asia. There are absolutely not so many Chinese, and the combined fleet of Britain and France is enough to overwhelm these Chinese, but the Germans don't know where a fleet came out of nowhere, so that the good situation was buried at once.

Combined with various reasons, Britain had reason to believe that some secret agreement must have been reached between the Northwest and Germany, so under the instruction of the Intelligence Bureau, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs has been condemning the Northwest and condemning them for their actions against the East Asian Fleet on public occasions.

Whether it is the Boer War or the Vietnam Raiders, Britain and France have done such things with their eyes open and talking nonsense, sometimes the evidence is in front of them, and they still don't admit it, and now the northwest is playing with them, if the evidence is found, it is easy to do, but it is pushed cleanly, which makes the British very depressed.

The relationship between the Northwest and Germany was very important, and it was even more important to find out where the nine capital ships came from, and how the British were worried, and how they stayed up all night trying to figure this out, the Dutch were terrified. Before, under the intervention of Britain and France, the Dutch concealed the news of Norton's defeat, and were originally going to wait until with the help of Britain and France, defeating the Chinese, maybe they could turn defeat into victory, and even get the prisoners back, but who would have thought that the situation would change abruptly, and now even the British and French fleets have been pitted, and the entire East Asian water power has been swept away.

Borneo is an island, there are few places to hide from naval guns, and the core place is stubbornly defended by the Chinese, they are not without organized personnel, trying to attack the stronghold of the Chinese, but except for the stronghold that they voluntarily abandoned, there is no defense, and it is relatively close to the seaside, so it is not very safe. The fortress in the core area is really impregnable, and it took years to prepare the ultimate defense, which is almost a nightmare for the light infantry who came to attack in a hurry.

The British and French were not stupid, they tried, attacked on their backs a few times, and after dropping hundreds or thousands of corpses, they did not dare to attack again. There were not enough hiding places, which was quite dangerous, and they had no choice but to disperse their forces and not let more than one regiment of troops gather together as much as possible, they knew very well that when the German fleet was victorious, it would definitely come here to show off its might.

They didn't wait long, Scheer's fleet, after dealing with the British and French warships, took a little rest, replenished some shells and fuel, and the fleet could justifiably appear in front of the world, and went directly to Pontianak and bombarded Pontianak for 2 hours, and then left with relief. There is no way to continue, because the guns of battleships, after a few hundred rounds, or one or two thousand rounds, must be replaced, compared to ordinary guns, the price of the barrel is much larger, a battery, the most expensive is the barrel, the weapon system, absolutely accounted for, three or four percent of the cost of the battleship, the rest of the bulk is the power system, as for the armor and other systems, combined, that is, about two percent.

The artillery bombardment brought by the 15-inch naval guns made Pontianak, which was already weakly defended, like a typhoon passing through and sweeping, and all obvious and possible targets were neatly plowed over, even if they were dodged out, and they were not in the Pontianak army, after seeing this result, they regretted it very much in their hearts, why did they go to the island, now, they are in a dilemma.

It turned out that the Dutch army, plus several divisions urgently sent to the island by Britain and France, almost 150,000 troops, had no city to rely on, they were afraid of being chased by warships, and entered the interior of Borneo.

Every day, there are soldiers missing, some small units are annihilated in formations, this is a completely different way from the daily mode of war, it is very much a big loss to Britain, France and the Netherlands, because of the sword hanging over the head of the Scheer fleet, they dare not concentrate, and can only rely on the ability of their respective troops, at most the reaction is a little faster, hear the movement and hurry over to support.

After special training, the small units of special forces and reconnaissance units have been trained, their individual tactics and squad tactics have been tempered by thousands of tempers, and they are not the tactics that Britain and France have improvised to deal with.

On Borneo, the British, French and Dutch troops are still insisting, and the northwest has not deliberately oppressed them, and there is still time to fight slowly, such a rare opportunity to hone the team, of course, the commander will not miss it, this is also the only weakness of the northwest military, the history of the establishment of the northwest is too short, in the efforts of many parties, and even under the investment of funds, the army in the northwest has received strict professional training, but there are very few who have been on the battlefield and have battlefield experience.

In Guangdong, China, the arrival of an order ignited the passion of the army, and the order was simple, cross the Shenzhen River and advance to Hong Kong. China has long been ready to take back this pearl of the Orient, and now, with the British and French East Asian fleets swept away, the opportunity has finally come.

There is a division of the British army stationed in Hong Kong, but this division is almost an ornament in front of the 200,000 army, they have made preparations in advance as much as possible, and have built relatively complete fortifications in Hong Kong, but in front of the Northwest Army armed to the teeth, these are all the same as paper paste, in order to liberate Hong Kong, the northwest not only mobilized 200,000 troops, but also moved out a large number of large-caliber artillery, itself the northwest in the army firepower, much stronger than the world's mainstream powers, and now to these troops, A large number of artillery pieces have been increased, and tens of thousands of artillery pieces of large and small calibers have been concentrated in a small place in Hong Kong, and tens of thousands of artillery pieces of large and small calibers are needed just to manipulate these artillery, and a divisional position is attacked by 10,000 shells at the first time, and on the defensive line of less than 2 square kilometers, shells may fall at any time.

Hong Kong is an island, and even the distance from the mainland, there is only a strait that is not wide, and some people in later generations can even swim across the boundary river and the boundary sea, and the northwest is more fully prepared, in addition to the two pontoon bridges, there are also a large number of assault boats, rushing across the boundary river with a large army, and then they will deploy artillery and start a covering bombardment.

Flesh and blood, how to resist these artillery, the British army stationed in Hong Kong, but not behind, after the baptism of the First World War mature troops, they were only temporarily transferred from India, and how much combat effectiveness, when the artillery caused a large number of battlefield attrition, everything was settled, Hong Kong fell, the remnants of the British army, under the leadership of the deputy division commander, formally surrendered to the Northwest Army, Hong Kong finally returned to the embrace of the motherland.
