After the German Emperor Wilhelm II got the news of the defeat of the Eight-Nation Alliance's Naval Joint Expeditionary Fleet, the whole person was extremely angry, most of them were annoyed and angry, you must know that the reason why Germany was able to join the Eight-Nation Alliance was completely the reason for Wilhelm II's own insistence, and many German ministers headed by Prime Minister Hohenlohe were all strongly opposed to Germany's joining the Eight-Nation Alliance, to provoke Lin Daxin, who had no grudge against Germany, after all, Lin Daxin was really not easy to mess with, and now the facts show that it is too difficult to provoke!

If Wilhelm II had not adhered to what he believed to be the Yellow Peril, Germany would not have been able to join the Eight-Power Alliance, and without the heavy losses of the German navy this time, the elite German army in the city of Cherkar in Kazakhstan in Russia would not have lost more than 100,000 men at once. Of course, our German Emperor Wilhelm II would not admit that he was wrong to insist that Germany join the Eight-Nation Alliance, and he attributed Germany's losses to Lin Daxin's cunning, hiding dreadnought battleships, and hiding aircraft that could be used in combat, so he didn't know that he was above board?

German Prime Minister Hohenlohe saw Wilhelm II like this, and did not say anything exciting, if it caused Wilhelm II to be mad, he didn't care about anything, and poured all his German strength into war against Lin Daxin, it would be a disaster for Germany.

Therefore, Hohenlohe did not say whether it was right or wrong to join the Eight-Nation Alliance, but discussed the issue of the German fleet and army in Hong Kong, "Your Majesty, the commander of the German naval fleet, Tessim, because the flagship battleship Karl the Great was sunk, and his whereabouts are currently unknown, and the captain of the Swabian, General Hummels, is temporarily acting as the commander of the remaining fleet, Hummels said on the telegram. He was ready to lead the remaining German warships and 8,000 German troops to evacuate Hong Kong and return to Germany, which Hummel did not believe was safe. ”

Wilhelm II thought for a moment with a frown. To be honest, he was not willing to allow Germany to withdraw its troops in Asia, and he insisted that Germany's entry into the Eight-Power Alliance was also to obtain colonies for Germany in Asia. Now the withdrawal of troops is not only yellow in the colony, but also a slap in the face, which is really a little unwilling, but Wilhelm II is not two hundred and five, knowing that the situation of the German fleet and army in Hong Kong is not optimistic, so he said: "Hohenlohe, do you see if we discuss with the British, French, Russians, Italians, and Austria-Hungary, and then decide whether the fleet and army in Hong Kong can be withdrawn, after all, we Germany are also one of the eight-nation alliances." also have to take responsibility for this war with the Qing Dynasty and Lin Daxin. ”

Hohenlohe knew that Wilhelm II was unwilling, thought for a while and said: "Hummels is worried on the telegram that the Northeast Navy will take advantage of the victory to pursue, if the Northeast Navy comes to Hong Kong's port, it will not attack the port, as long as the entire Hong Kong port is blocked, our fleet and army will be trapped in Hong Kong, the minister thinks that it is better to let Hummels lead the fleet and 8,000 army troops, and leave Hong Kong first, that is, not to return to Germany directly." We can also withdraw to Port Moresby in German New Guinea first, at least we can attack and retreat, and then we can decide on our next German countermeasures after discussing them with the other countries of the Eight-Nation Alliance. ”

Wilhelm II nodded reluctantly. It was agreed that the fleet and army of Hong Kong should withdraw first and retreat to Port Moresby in German New Guinea.

Seeing that Wilhelm II agreed, Hohenlohe immediately sent a telegram to Hong Kong. It was already 5 p.m. in Germany and midnight in Hong Kong. Hummels, the German interim commander, returned to his battleship Swabia, already asleep in the captain's bedroom. However, he was woken up by the second mate on the battleship Swabian and forwarded to him a telegram that had just been sent from Germany.

Hummels was relieved to see the telegram sent from China, although the fleet and army in Hong Kong were not directly withdrawn to Germany, but they were withdrawn to German New Guinea, which was relatively safe, and Hummels did not have to worry about the desperate dreadnought battleships of the Northeast Navy for the time being.

After all, the colonies of the British and French were much closer to the Qing Dynasty and Lin Daxin's territory than German New Guinea, and the Northeast Navy should not be reluctant to go far, and German New Guinea can definitely be called a barren, and Lin Daxin should not be interested.

Hummmels glanced at the dark night outside, hesitated for a moment and said to the second officer beside him: "Tomorrow at 5 o'clock in the morning, the entire fleet and the army will be notified to prepare for evacuation, at 7 o'clock we will evacuate Hong Kong on time, and at 5 o'clock we will send someone to wake me up, hoping that we will withdraw to Port Moresby in German New Guinea. ”

In fact, Hummels had the urge to immediately order the fleet and the army to evacuate Hong Kong, but after all, it was the middle of the night, and it was relatively easy for the fleet's warships to evacuate, but the army had some trouble boarding the transport ship in the middle of the night, and Hummels pondered that there should be no problem in delaying these few hours.

Hummels then went back to his captain's room to sleep, and before he could be woken up by his men at 5 o'clock in the morning, Hummels got up on his own, and as soon as he walked out of the captain's quarters, he was confronted by the panicked second mate of the Swabian.

When the second mate of the Swabian saw Hummels, he shouted in horror: "Captain, the big thing is not good, the warships of the Northeast Navy are already outside the port of Hong Kong, and there are those dreadnought battleships, we are blocked." ”

Hummels felt a chill in his heart when he heard this, and asked in shock: "When did the Northeast Navy appear outside the port of Hong Kong?" ”

The second mate said depressedly: "Just now, I knew that we would leave in the middle of the night!" ”

Hummels immediately looked remorseful, and the delay for a few hours was really serious, Hummels hurried to the bridge of the Swabian, picked up the binoculars and looked through the observation window, looking outside the port, sure enough, the sea outside the port of Hong Kong was already full of warships of the Northeast Navy, and the particularly conspicuous was the row of 13 dreadnought battleships.

I didn't expect the Northeast Navy to come so quickly, and now I can't leave if I want to, and Hummels instantly became a bitter gourd face.

According to Lin Daxin's order, the dreadnought battleship formation, the first fleet, the second fleet, and the third fleet of the Northeast Navy had a short rest after the naval battle, especially the 13 dreadnought battleships replenished the shells of the main guns from the supply transport ships, and each fleet dispatched a part of the personnel to the captured warships, and had to drive these captured warships back to Dalian, and then the dreadnought battleship formation and the three fleets left the battlefield of the naval battle in the Taiwan Strait in the middle of the night and went south straight to Hong Kong. Finally, the naval fleets of Britain, France, and Germany, which had escaped in the naval battle, were blocked at once, and the remaining warships of the British Navy's Chinese fleet were also trapped in the port of Hong Kong by the Northeast Navy.

In the bridge of the battleship Shenyang, the flagship of the First Fleet of the Northeast Navy, Sun Xitao, who was yawning, said to Wu Lili, the captain of the Shenyang: "Old Wu, I haven't slept all night, and I can't stand it anymore, but we have finally blocked the warships of Britain, France, and Germany in Hong Kong. Otherwise our shells will fall on their heads. ”

Sun Xitao, as the commander-in-chief of the naval battle in the Taiwan Strait designated by Lin Daxin, had a lot of things after the war, that is, on the way to Hong Kong, Sun Xitao had been busy, and he didn't sleep all night.

Wu Li said with a smile: "Commander, go and sleep, our 3 fleets plus the dreadnought battleship formation are blocked at the gate of Hong Kong, and the fleets of Britain, France and Germany inside are equivalent to being unable to fly, if they know the times, they should surrender quickly, otherwise we can use artillery to flatten the port of Hong Kong, and I will immediately send someone to send an ultimatum to the port of Hong Kong." ”

Sun Xitao nodded, with the ultra-long-range range of 13 dreadnought battleships, there is absolutely no problem in flattening the port of Hong Kong, Sun Xitao then went to make up for sleep with confidence.

The warships of the Northeast Navy outside Hong Kong's harbor knew Sun Xitao's ultimatum to the Eight-Nation Alliance in Hong Kong, and began to make preparations before the big war, especially the dreadnought battleship formation, which, under the leadership of Commander Yu Fu, had already begun to measure and shoot at Zhu Yuan and prepare to bombard Hong Kong's port.

In the port of Hong Kong, Bridget, the commander of the British naval fleet in the Eight-Nation Alliance Navy, was not too surprised when he learned that the Northeast Navy had arrived outside Hong Kong, but he did not expect that the Northeast Navy would be so fast, and the naval battle in the Taiwan Strait ended last night!

After receiving an ultimatum sent by the Northeast Navy to surrender unconditionally before 12 o'clock today, Bridget, who was very worried, immediately sent people to gather François, commander of the French naval fleet, Hummels, commander of the German navy, Briton De Lovoe, commander-in-chief of the Eight-Nation Alliance Army in Hong Kong, Frenchman Pratte, deputy commander of the Eight-Nation Alliance Army, and Sir Brie, the British governor of Hong Kong, in the living room of the Hong Kong Governor's Palace.

Four other people also came to the living room of the Governor's Palace, namely the commander of the German Army in Hong Kong, Ginter, the commander of the Russian Army, Feliklewicz, the commander of the Italian Army, Andrea, and the commander of the Austro-Hungarian Army, Drexler.

Basically, the Eight-Nation Alliance has all the people in Hong Kong who have a big face, but everyone has a very heavy expression on their faces, and everyone knows that the Northeast Navy outside the port has given an ultimatum that if it does not surrender before 12 noon today, the dreadnought battleships of the Northeast Navy should use giant shells to start bombarding Hong Kong's port.
