The British Empire felt very embarrassed, so Thor and Newcastle met with talks to discuss ways to deal with it.

"The Chinese Empire's marine investigation ships must not be allowed to collect information from the North Sea, otherwise the Chinese Empire's navy will enter the North Sea to fight in the future, which will pose a huge security threat to the empire."

Newcastle made his solemn position.

"Then do you have any countermeasures? I will satisfy you as much as possible in other conditions except war!"

Thor asked back, and he knew the seriousness of the problem, but the bottom line was that war could not be started. At least the British Empire was not prepared for war at present, and the national strength and military gap with the Chinese Empire was very large. There was no chance of winning in a fight. Unless the United States, Japan, France, Russia and other countries were united, there might be hope for winning the war.

However, America was dragged into the quagmire by the Cuban war. Grant has been very entangled recently and wants to seize Cuba, but the war is too expensive. The US military has invested more than 300,000 troops in succession. In addition to receiving news of nearly 100,000 deaths, it has failed to capture Havana. Grant also thought about withdrawing from the Cuban battlefield, but unfortunately he bragged about it and just rolling back to the United States in shame would make the whole world laugh. At the same time, he has paid 100,000 US troops and consumed more than 100,000 tons of military supplies, worth more than 200 million US dollars. If he gave up, it would be a waste of fighting and compensation for huge military expenses and reputation.

Japan recovered quickly. With the help of Britain and the United States, the yen gradually stabilized and the economy recovered. Japan's military power has made great progress in the past seven years, especially maritime forces. With the support of Britain and the United States, Japan also completed several all-steel battleships and built a large number of submarines. However, this strength still cannot pose a major threat to the Chinese Empire. It has to be lurking for a few years to gain stronger military power.

France still has an ambiguous attitude, and the alliance with Britain is limited to Europe. French Emperor Napoleon clearly stated that he would not join the three alliances of the United States, Britain and Japan, but only unilaterally formed an alliance with Britain in Europe to fight against the German Empire and the Austro-Hungarian Empire. France obviously feared the Chinese Empire and was unwilling to join the US, Britain and Japan military alliance, but was worried that the Chinese Empire would directly help the German Empire. Therefore, China and France had a secret agreement that France would not join the US, Britain and Japan alliance to deal with the Chinese Empire. In return, the Chinese Empire chose to be neutral in the outbreak of conflict between Germany and France.

The relationship between the Tsarist Russian Empire and the British Empire has been greatly eased, mainly because the British Empire made concessions to Tsarist Russia on issues in Aiwuhan, Persia and other regions in exchange for the Tsarist Russian Empire agreeing to join the United States, Britain and Japan alliance.

However, the Tsarist Russian Empire was also very smart and was reluctant to join the US-American-Japan alliance because it wanted to secretly ask the Chinese Empire for some bargaining chips. The Chinese Empire was unwilling to see Tsarist Russia turn to the US-American-Japan alliance, so whether Tsarist Russia is sincerely negotiating, it would still give Tsarist Russia some benefits and appease the Tsarist Russian Empire.

For the Tsarist Russian Empire, it was poor and backward. As a rich man, even if a little oil and water fell out of his fingers to the Tsarist Russian Empire, it would be enough to make the Tsarist Russian Empire ecstatic.

Faced with the tsaw Russian Empire, the British Empire was speechless, and I wonder if I could count on the Tsarist Russian Empire.

Therefore, after weighing the pros and cons, Thor did not have the courage to go to war with the Chinese Empire again. At present, the Chinese Empire is still stable, and it is just digesting the territory of the Pacific Ocean. A 7.7 million square kilometers of Australian continent, if it wants to completely digest it into the territory of the Chinese Empire, it will take at least twenty or thirty years, and it will take one or even two generations of people to achieve it.

So at present, China and Britain are nervous on the surface, but just like the ten years before World War I in history, both sides are maintaining a delicate balance and will not be easily broken.

"My method is to dispatch submarines! It's time to test the submarines made by the British Empire!"

Newcastle finally proposed his solution, which was to use submarines to harass the Chinese Empire's marine survey ships.

Thor thought for a while and said, "I don't care what method you use, as long as the situation is controllable and the war cannot be detonated! This is my bottom line!"

"I'll do it!"

Newcastle received Thor's acquiescence, so he immediately convened a naval meeting, dispatched the British Empire's submarine troops to the North Sea to harass the Chinese Empire's maritime investigation ships and naval fleets.

They dare not take action on the water, but they will be more concealed when they take action underwater. They use the concealment of the submarine to secretly follow the Chinese Empire's marine survey ship. When the survey ship stops and releases the depth-shot tools around, the British submarines sneak into the water to destroy the measurement data, interfering with the accuracy of the measurement data.

Faced with the shameless means of the British, Chen Shaoyi also rolled his eyes.

If it was on the water, Chen Shaoyi had a way, but if he moved under the water, he would be helpless.

In order to teach the British a lesson, the Chinese submarine Blackhead Shark began to operate. It lurked in the dark until it discovered that the British submarine was floating and immediately launched a raid.

Bang!

A 533mm fish radium was launched, targeting a British submarine 800 meters away. This British submarine had just damaged the Chinese Empire's ocean detection tools and was floating and recharged the battery. It was used as prey by the blackheaded Shark, which was hidden in the dark.

With a loud bang, the British Navy's submarine exploded, and a cloud of fiery red mushrooms soared into the air, and it was clearly visible hundreds of kilometers away.

The British were shocked and soon several British warships cruising nearby rushed over and found that they were submarines of the British Navy by salvaging the bodies.

The news came back to Downing Street, London, and Sal was furious and ordered an investigation.

Although Thor understood that this was probably done by the Chinese Empire, but unfortunately there was no evidence!

At the time of the incident, the warships of the Imperial Chinese Navy had no military operations, but only escorted the No. 981 Marine Survey Ship and were under close surveillance by British warships.

So, why did British submarines explode and sank?

Obviously, this British submarine was previously used to carry out measurement tools that destroyed the Chinese Empire's marine survey ship and placed on the seabed. Once something happened, it was clearly done by the Chinese Empire.

But Thor can't tell me. He did something wrong himself, so how could he have the nerve to say it?

But you can’t take revenge if you suffer a secret loss!

So Thor discussed with Newcastle again and determined that this must be done by the submarines of the Chinese Empire.

Next, the British Navy began to take action against the Blackhead Shark, the submarine of the Empire of China.

Obviously, the British Navy cannot make a big fuss when hunting the Blackhead Shark. It can fight the Chinese Empire in secret, but it cannot tear the face. Everyone knows it.

Under the dim sea, it has become a battlefield for both sides to hunt each other.

However, in the era when there was no sonar detection system, submarines sailing underwater were almost slandering and could not see each other at all, let alone attacking each other underwater.

The only way is to fight for snorkeling time. Whoever uses up all oxygen first and cannot pull the air and floats on the sea will be the hunted prey.

In this regard, it is obvious that the submarines of the Chinese Empire have more advantages. The Great White Shark-class submarine has a submersible speed of 6 knots underwater for 12 hours. The most advanced submarine of the British Navy is the e9 submarine with a displacement of 667 tons. It uses two most advanced Vicks-type diesel engines in the UK, with dual-axis propulsion, 840 horsepower, a speed of 12kn, and a range of le. The equipment is two bow torpedo tubes, two side torpedo tubes, one stern torpedo tubes, and one torpedo tubes loaded with 10 torpedo guns.

As for the submarine time of the British e9 submarine, the submarine time is only a pitiful 2 hours at a speed of 6 knots.

In this way, the British submarine will become weak with just one submarine, and it is no match for the Great White Shark-class submarine of the Chinese Empire.

As a result, any British submarine secretly preparing to hunt the Blackhead Shark could not hold back their breath and quickly floated from the sea to the sea to breathe.

At this time, the Blackhead Shark submarine quietly stretched out its periscope in the distance and secretly fired fish radium at the British submarine.

With a loud bang, the British Navy lost another E9 submarine.

In just one week of underwater secret battle, the British Navy lost eight of the most advanced e9 submarines. The Blackhead Shark submarine of the Chinese Empire was intact and honestly surfaced on the eighth day.

When the British Navy saw the Blackhead Shark in the telescope, he wanted to rush over and let it sink immediately. Unfortunately, the Tigerhead Shark was parked next to four cruise ships of the Imperial Navy, and showed the dragon flag of the Imperial Empire in a high-profile manner. If the British dared to rush over and fire the gun, it would not be a secret war but a war.

As for why the Blackhead Shark floated up, it was very simple, because all the fish and radium were exhausted, so of course they had to be resupplied.

The British could only stare at the eyes and wait silently for the Blackhead Shark to complete the resupply.

However, the British Navy lost 8 submarines and killed more than 300 people in one week, so it was a must for a report.

What can Newcastle say? He dare not say that it was a secret battle with the Chinese Empire submarines under the sea. As a result, dozens of British submarines could not beat a Chinese Empire submarine, which would be too shameful. Therefore, he could only say that it was a submarine accident and said that the quality of the e9 submarine was not up to standard.

The bitter fruit can only be swallowed by the British Empire Navy itself!

In the next month, the British Navy's submarine forces became particularly careful. Through actual combat competition with the Blackhead Shark, they gradually understood the actual combat performance of the Blackhead Shark submarine.

Knowing that the Blackhead Shark can submarine for more than 12 hours, British submarines dare not be so careless. They adopt a rotating guard system. When a submarine dives, there must be a submarine around sailing on the sea and charging, and then replace each other and warn each other to prevent being attacked by the Blackhead Shark.

Therefore, it is not so easy for the Blackhead Shark to attack. Attacking one of the British submarines will inevitably be discovered and attacked by another British submarine in the dark.

However, this is the time to test technology. The Blackhead Shark still pulled his teeth from a tiger's mouth and killed three British submarines within a month.

The British were completely shocked. It turned out that the submarines of the Chinese Empire were so powerful!

Just when the British lost only the underwear and planned to give up hunting the Blackhead Shark, an accident happened.

A British e2 submarine accidentally collided with the Blackhead Shark submarine while submarine.

The e2 submarine with only more than 300 tons obviously could not hit the Blackhead Shark, which was more than 1,000 tons. The e2 submarine sank on the spot, and the Blackhead Shark was also severely damaged. Although it did not sink immediately, the bow of the submarine was damaged, and the water leakage was severely leaked, and the random discharge system failed. Although it floated to the sea urgently, the submarine's sinking could not be saved. The captain hurriedly ordered the destruction of confidential documents, burying bombs in the submarine, and then sent a distress signal to prepare for evacuation.

Due to the unplanned collision and the lack of a radio communication system, other British submarines in nearby waters were not informed. This allowed the Blackhead Shark submarine to send a distress signal smoothly.

However, when the three red, yellow and blue signal flares were launched, they still attracted the surrounding British ships.

Soon, British ships discovered the sinking Blackhead Shark, and they immediately cheered and celebrated. Some even suggested to capture the Chinese Empire sailors on the Blackhead Shark, but before they could do anything, the Chinese Empire's warship Xiyue arrived, which disappointed the British.

When Thor learned that the submarine ship Blackhead Shark of the Chinese Empire was sunk, he was immediately happy. He did not know that this was caused by the collision. The British Navy concealed the truth of the accident and deliberately reported that the Blackhead Shark had sunk in order to seek rewards.

Soon, the Chinese Empire held a press conference and released the investigation report on the Blackhead Shark's sinking accident in front of reporters all over the world.

"The sinking of the Blackhead Shark in the Chinese Empire was because the Blackhead Shark submarine was on a mission at that time. A British Navy e2 submarine Cuttlefish hit the Blackhead Shark for no reason, causing the Blackhead Shark to be severely damaged and sunk. The murderer Cuttlefish also sank in the accident. However, the soldiers of the Chinese Empire were full of enthusiasm and decided to rescue humanitarian rescue, so they rescued three crew members on the Cuttlefish submarine."

The report is accompanied by these three British Navy crew members, as well as their ranks, names and positions. It is obvious that the Chinese Emperor* side has secretly interrogated the three British sailors.

Public opinion around the world was in an uproar, condemning the British submarine Cuttlefish that took the initiative to impact the Blackhead Shark of the Chinese Empire. He gave high praise and praise for the Chinese Empire's war sailors and took the initiative to rescue the British sailors on the three Cuttlefish.

The Chinese Empire then told the UK that it asked the British government to apologize and compensate for the Cuttlefish hitting the Blackhead Shark.

After learning the facts, Thor immediately scolded Newcastle for being slandered. Newcastle had to investigate immediately. It turned out that it was the Cuttlefish submarine and the Blackhead Shark accidentally collided. At that time, four people ran out of the submarine on the Cuttlefish, three of them were captured by the Chinese Empire sailors, and another fainted in the sea and was rescued by the later British sailors. In order to obtain the credit, he lied that he had sunk the Blackhead Shark.

Now even if the British know the truth, they can't change it. Even though they know that the Chinese Empire deliberately cheated people, they had to compensate. After all, there were still three sailors on the Cuttlefish number in the hands of the Chinese Empire. At this moment, the powerful force of public opinion had to make Thor choose to bow his head and suffer a loss.

Afterwards, the British Empire had to publicly apologize to the Chinese Empire's Navy, and then compensate the Chinese Empire with one million pounds, roughly equivalent to 200,000 yuan. Only then did the three prisoners be redeemed and the storm was calmed.

However, reporters from the London Evening News discovered the mystery and published speculations in the Evening News.

"In the past two months, what happened in the North Sea is so strange. The British Navy's accidents sank after more than a dozen submarines sank, and the surviving British sailors were also silent. As the Chinese Empire's Blackhead Shark hit the Cuttlefish, the two sunk were exposed, and the Blackhead Shark has been operating in the North Sea for the past two months. Suddenly, newspapers began to speculate whether the Chinese and British navies were secretly competing under the North Sea. If this is the case, then the British Empire's submarines were simply too weak, with a thirteen-to-one war loss, and they had to compensate the Chinese Empire for the losses. It was really awful loss!"

This incident immediately attracted the interest of the British and attracted the high attention of the great powers of Europe and the United States. However, the most tragic thing was the British side, and immediately blocked the newspaper, which confirmed this speculation.

For a moment, the whole world was in an uproar again!
