The British and Japanese fleets in the confrontation had no idea that a ghost was floating above their heads with a grim smile, peering at the sea with a greedy look. This kind of work of fanning the flames and provoking wars was Boss Yang's favorite. When he had such an opportunity, he was as excited as a weasel lying outside a chicken cage. However, he still needs to study how to start.

The two sides who were confronting each other did not know how to resolve the situation in front of them. For the British, even the ambassador to China was almost killed by the Japanese shells. If they did not express a little anger, it would be difficult for the cabinet to explain to domestic public opinion.

In recent years, the relationship between Britain and Japan has been very tense, especially after the last Dagukou naval battle, it almost started. However, the British were too weak in the Far East at that time, so they swallowed their anger for the time being. For this matter, the cabinet almost collapsed. Now this incident happened again. I am afraid that the cabinet would not be tough.

Moreover, the Far East Fleet is now strong enough. Because of the Battle of Dagukou, the Far East Fleet has been much stronger than in history. In addition to the Athletics and the Battlecruiser of Reputation, the two aircraft carriers, Glory and Brave, have been added, as well as the Elizabeth female battleship, Malaya battleship, and Counterattack battleship. Such strength is enough to fight the Japanese, of course, it is only the power of a battle. If the joint fleet fully presses on this strength, it will be useless, so the British are the standard to be fierce.

Japan's Takasu Shiro was also unsure. His fleet actually suffered a lot of losses due to harassment from the Chinese Navy during this period. Although the King Kong was injured, although the carrier-based aircraft on the aircraft carrier were not filled. Only less than two-thirds were added, and many of them were new pilots. This situation was not suitable for war, especially the number of British naval main ships on the opposite side was twice that of his own, at least before the Joint Fleet arrived. He had no confidence to go to war with the British.

In order to guard against the Americans, the main forces of the joint fleet were all stationed at Yokosuka Base. Now they have to come from there. As soon as tomorrow morning, the two sides will show their toughness to each other with the same mood. The British asked the Japanese to attack the shells into the 10th Division commander of the British Consulate, Risuke Isotani and the captain of the heavy artillery corps under his command. At least they had to be allowed to go to military court. In addition, Japanese Zhengfu publicly apologized, and at the same time guaranteed that no shells or bullets could fly into the public concession in the subsequent battle. As for compensation for losses, it goes without saying.

The Japanese side insisted that this was just an accident, and that the captain of the heavy artillery corps could be dismissed. Apology or compensation could be done, but it would be impossible to ensure that the shells or bullets would not fall into the concession after that. In fact, the British were also forced to do so. Both sides were hit by blood. How do you guarantee us? Although the section from Longhua to Yangpu River was classified as a non-war zone, the problem was that this restriction was only unilateral, and there was no limit on the Chinese army on the defensive side. They could place artillery soldiers close to the concession and then shell the Japanese army. In order to avoid hitting the concession, it was completely unreasonable.

The situation of mutual inconvenience between the two sides finally gave Yang Fengke an opportunity to take advantage of it. It was already late at night, and the sea was illuminated by the light columns of searchlights on more than a hundred large and small warships. The towering giant ships and guns pointed at each other. He stared at any abnormality on the sea vigilantly. The former allies of Britain and Japan were finally on the verge of war.

Tens of kilometers away from them, the shuttle that had thrown all the mines carefully landed on the sea surface and then quickly submerged under the water. It quietly slipped under a Japanese destroyer, then extended an object of the same color as the Japanese warship and was like the tentacles of the octopus. It silently climbed onto the deck against the backlit side, climbed onto the turret in the dark behind the front main gun, and then immediately divided it into two and circled around both sides of the turret.

No one noticed that there was a black hole in the bottom of the two gun barrels on the double-mounted turret. In fact, both sides knew very well that this war could not be fought at all, and if they wanted to fight, they would not last until now. I really wanted to fight, and the Far East Fleet would have taken action to clean up the Gaoxu Fleet before the joint fleet arrived.

And it is already the second half of the night. Both sides who spent the day in tension had already relaxed their spirits, and no one expected that an accident would happen at this time.

Two 130 mm shells, like bubbles squeezing inside the tentacles, were quickly sent to the muzzle. Following them were two 37 mm shells. Since they were doing a show, they naturally had to do a full set. It was wrong to have the shells fall but there was no fire.

After making these preparations, almost 200 kilograms of zha medicine were transported to the bottom of the turret, and a detonation line was connected to Yang Feng's hands. After the turret completed its historical mission, it would never be left behind.

Everything was ready. Boss Yang smiled and gave orders to the beauty's avatar. Then he saw the two extra muzzles suddenly spurting out flames. These were the two 37 shells that exploded. At the moment tens of thousands of people on the sea were frightened by the sudden loud noise. Two 130 mm shells, with a roar through the air, suddenly hit the main turret of the British Navy Queen Elizabeth battleship in the distance. Before everyone could wake up, the second batch of shells was transmitted to the muzzle as quickly as possible. Then the second round of artillery shells almost landed in the same place.

No matter how slow the British reacted at this time, they knew what they should do. At the same time, the two British warships closest to the destroyer, all the main guns opened fire at the same time. The moment one of the shells hit the target, the tentacles retracted into the water as quickly as possible. Then Yang Feng pressed the detonation button, and the unlucky turret and the sailors inside turned into pieces with a loud bang.

"What's going on? Why fire the gun?" Takasu Shiro roared hysterically. Unfortunately, no one cared about his roar at this time. The two fleets that had been confronting each other for a day almost all entered a state of war when the guns rang out. Just as the unlucky Shiraki destroyer No. 1 was bombarded by the 203mm main gun on the British Navy Lin Xian light cruiser (of course this is what the Japanese think), the Japanese Navy Kaohsiung main gun, which was closest to Shiraki, also hit Lin Xian.

Within two seconds, the main gun of the British Navy Kent heavy cruiser hit Kaohsiung. Then a earth-shaking loud noise, the main gun of the Battlecruiser of the Reputation Battlecruiser hit Kaohsiung. At the same time, the main gun of the Battlecruiser of the Kirishima hit the Reputation, and the entire sea surface was quickly dyed red by the flames of the shell explosion. In less than a minute, almost all the warships aimed at each other's respective targets and opened fire.

Takasu Shiro was already stupid. At this time, it was no longer whether he wanted to fight or not, but the war had actually begun.

"What's wrong?" He held the bulkhead beside him weakly and let out a sad roar, but he instantly changed into a determined face. Since the war has begun, don't think about anything. Just fight! This guy immediately calmed down and quickly entered his commander role.

At this time, Boss Yang had already run away. He didn't want to wait to harm the fish. These are all terrifying monsters. No matter who gives him a shot, he may lose his life. Now the safest position is in the sky. The shuttle quickly jumped to the dark sea in the distance, then deformed and then took off, floating at a height of three thousand meters to see the sea of ​​iron and fire below.

The close-range artillery battle between six battleships, eleven heavy cruisers, twenty light cruisers, and fifty destroyers was unique in the history of war. The battle between the two sides was less than five kilometers away, so it could be said that the artillery was flesh. Within a few minutes, almost all warships were injured and soon sank. The battle between giants was not something that those destroyers should have been mixed. As soon as the two sides started the war, these guys wanted to leave the battle circle, but unfortunately the reaction time left for them was too short. In a blink of an eye, two Japanese destroyers and one British destroyer began to sink with a fire.

At this time, both sides were already red-eyed. On the one hand, it was the slave's arrogance as his master. On the other hand, it was the anger of rebel slaves and the ambition to maintain the glory of the empire. Both British and Japanese sailors showed fighting spirit. The trajectories of shells on the sea were crisscrossed, and the explosions of large-caliber shells were connected like thunder, and the burning flames even reflected the distant coast.

Boss Yang watched it with relish in the sky. This was much more exciting than the movie. It had been twenty years since the new rise of the empire and the former overlord. Not to mention that he was watching the fun, all the warships of various countries waiting to watch the fun came here, staring at the largest battleship duel after the Battle of Jutland.

However, after all, the Takasu fleet is much weaker. The two battleships modified from the Battle Cruise are not the same level of opponents against the two battleships and the Battle Cruise. Soon, the Battle Cruise of the Hazelnet began to sink in the concentrated fire between Queen Elizabeth and Malaya because they were shot too many times. Kirishima was even more alone. Takasu Shiro, who commanded on the Hazelnet, immediately ordered the fleet to retreat to the local area. At this time, the Kaohsiung had been hit by the torpedo fired by the British Linxian, and the entire hull began to capsize. In addition, the light cruiser of the Kawauchi sank, the heavy cruiser of the Aoba was also engulfed by the fire, and four destroyers were sunk.

The British side of the United States Kent heavy cruiser was severely damaged, and it is estimated that it will not last long. While the Lin Xianshen sank the Kaohsiung, he was also hit by a Japanese destroyer with torpedo. The bow of the ship was exploded and torn to pieces. Four battleships were injured, and five destroyers sank.

Under the strict order of Takasu Shiro, Kirishima led the remaining Japanese ships to finally leave the battlefield, met the aircraft carriers that did not participate in the war in the distance, and then drove towards the local direction. The British fleet commander knew very well that after dragging it for a long time, the Japanese joint fleet arrived, and it was difficult to escape, so he did not order the pursuit, but concentrated all the firepower and sent Hatsune and Takasu Shiro into the sea as fast as possible, and then ordered the fleet to retreat to Hong Kong at full speed. Before leaving, he also replenished all the Japanese warships that had not completely sunk on the sea.

However, their retreat was not easy. When they passed through the Taiwan Strait at dawn, they were blocked by Japanese aircraft stationed in Taiwan. The most injured Kent was sunk. In addition, they lost a destroyer and a light cruiser before retreating to Hong Kong, but they did not stop in Hong Kong. Immediately after receiving the order from the British Admiralty, the entire fleet retreated to Singapore.

This inexplicable naval battle was like a magnitude 12 earthquake. The shock waves quickly spread to the whole world, and the whole world was dumbfounded. No one expected that the British and Japanese would actually fight. The moment they received this news, many people were almost laughing.

But the British and Japanese were all stunned. No one was ready for this war. The British centered on Europe. Their biggest enemy was the beard. The war between the Japanese and China had not yet come to an end! There was a wolve in the north and south of the north and south, and it was not suitable to set up a strong enemy at this time.

But it is absolutely impossible not to fight. Whether for the British or the Japanese, this war must continue, otherwise no one will be able to withstand the anger at home, especially the Japanese Navy. They not only lost a battleship, but also killed a lieutenant general in the battle. This revenge must be avenged no matter what. To be honest, with the British strength in the Far East, it may be possible to take the opportunity to take Southeast Asia. When thinking about the oil wells in Borneo, even the rational person will inevitably be a little moved.

As for the lack of troops in the army, this is easy to solve. If you expand the army, you will expand twenty divisions. If you don’t have twenty divisions, you will expand forty. What is not enough?

As for the British Zhengfu, although he was very reluctant, he finally announced the increase of troops in Asia, the USS Balum and the USS War-wearing battleships. The aircraft carriers of the USS Furious were all transferred to Asia, and at the same time, they sent an additional 100,000 troops to Southeast Asia. Of course, this would take some time, especially the army even had to recruit troops urgently.

"The Japanese are crazy, they are crazy!" Liu Haining looked at the newspaper, his face full of joy.

"Don't say they are crazy, maybe they will gain unexpected results this time." Yang Feng smiled with a deep meaning.

"You mean the British are not fighting?" Wu Peifu said. He is now a military adviser to the Pingjin Special Administrative Region. After saying this, he nodded himself: "The British are also in chaos within the colonies of Southeast Asia. If the Japanese were under the banner of giving these countries Duli, they would make trouble for the British from the inside, maybe the Japanese could really easily take Southeast Asia, but how would such an American choose?"

"Let's watch the fun. Anyway, I'm going to encourage them to watch the fun for the time being." Yang Feng said that it is not a good thing for the United States to participate in the war. The war has too much stimulation to their industrial industry. He can see this clearly. Until now, the United States still insists on isolationism. If Britain and Japan declare war, then pushing it behind the scenes can allow the Americans to continue this policy. The later the huge war machine is launched, the less benefits it will bring to them. In a sense, it is not a bad thing if the United States does not participate in World War II.

Unless the war can be brought to their homeland, it would be perfect if the Japanese could defeat the Pacific Fleet and then land on the American mainland, but this seems to be difficult to achieve.

It seems that I really need to win the Japanese.

Of course, this is all the future. Now what he cares most about is Yanchang Oilfield. If this oilfield can be built, then his next strategic layout will be basically completed. Then he gathered all the professors who understand crude oil mining in Pingjin universities, and then handed them the crude oil mining technical information he brought to them. At the same time, a petroleum research institute was officially established, and a group of experts were selected to further turn these technologies into something that could be practical in this era.

In addition, his tour group to Yan'an has been collected, including veteran guys such as Wu Peifu and Zhang Zuoxiang, and he has gathered a group of capitalists, scholars and celebrities like Liang Sicheng and his wife, as well as Zhang Junmai, who has now revealed his identity, Jiang Menglin, the principal of Tsinghua University, and Rong Zongjing, who has traveled from Shanghai to Peking. Most of his industries have been moved to Peking and Chongqing, so the losses suffered in this war are very small.

In addition to his, Zhang Youyi and others, Yunshang Company has also moved to Peking. This company is now the largest clothing exporter in Asia. Even in the international fashion industry, it is a well-known brand. Tang Ying divorced her husband and now lives in Peking for a long time, which makes Margaret wary of her.

However, there was no plane on this trip because Yang Feng also wanted to investigate transportation issues. In addition, Yan Xishan also wanted to ask these people to go to his place first, so he walked by land, first by train to Taiyuan, and then by car to Yan'an.

Boss Yang not only prepared twenty Land Rover as special cars for these people, but also equipped a company of infantry fighting vehicles and twenty Wrangler armed jeep as bodyguards. A convoy of nearly a hundred vehicles was loaded with a special train from Peiping to head south, then turned to Zhengding and heading straight to Taiyuan.

When they arrived in Taiyuan, the main generals of the Jin army led by Yan Xishan, local gentry and celebrities in Shanxi were already waiting at the train station. He, Wu Peifu, Zhang Zuoxiang and others were all old acquaintances. To put it bluntly, they were all old opponents who had been fighting for almost half of their lives. At this time, meeting in this situation is naturally a lot of topics.
