The Moresby Fortress incident shocked the whole world!

The British team did not fire a single shot, adopted a policy of non-resistance, and handed over the Moresby Fortress built over ten years to the Chinese Empire, which shocked the friends all over the world to blind their titanium alloy dog ​​eyes.

"What's wrong with the British? Is it because of fear that the Chinese Empire has reached the point where I don't have the courage to resist aggression?"

The American Daily published a headline on the front page, accusing the British government of adopting a non-resistance policy was wrong, as it would seriously weaken the fighting spirit of the British people and at the same time boost the arrogance of the Chinese Emperor.

"I thought the Sixth Sino-British War would break out, but the British learned to be tolerant, which was to maintain international peace, indicating that the British Empire did not want people to suffer. Please understand the will of the British people and not invade them!"

The Times quickly published the front page, not only to cover up Britain's non-resistance policy, but also to weaken the face of the British Empire. This really exhausted the Times' reporters and editors. They did not sleep all night and their hair turned gray several dozens of times before they could barely write such an article in hopes of appeaseing the British and the people.

As a result, the more I try to cover up the non-resistance policy, the more I am strongly angry and protested by the British and civilians.

Soon, large-scale anti-China demonstrations were launched across the UK. A large number of British students petitioned the government, abandoning the policy of non-resistance, and ordered the British team to regain the Moresby Fortress.

For a time, workers across the country went on strike, students took classes, and businessmen took markets, and the opposition in the opposition launched a vigorous impeachment campaign of Thor.

"Don't appease the British and the people!"

In the Prime Minister's Office in Downing Street, Saul called over and over again, personally informing the major newspapers to cancel the strategy of appeaseing the British and the people, and at the same time ordered officials from all over the UK to actively incite the British and the people to resist China.

After learning about this, Cook hurried to meet Thor.

"Why do you do this? Don't you know your order will ruin your political career?"

Facing Cook's concern, Thor smiled slightly and said, "At this point, I am destined to be a sinner in the history of the British Empire, but I hope that I, a sinner, can do the last thing for the British Empire."

Cook frowned and said, "What do you mean?"

Thor replied: "There must be people who are black-faced. Now I am the black-faced! It is the non-resistance policy order I issued, and the consequences can only be borne by me! However, I hope that my non-resistance policy can inspire the people of the whole country to resist China, establish a united front of the British Empire, and then defeat the Chinese Empire in one breath and regain the world hegemony of the British Empire."

Cook was shocked, and unexpectedly, Thor had such an idea, great and heroic.

"Did you tell the other conservative leaders? Do they agree with your approach and sacrifice?"

Thor shook his head and said, "If I told them first, then my plan would never be implemented. They would never allow me to do this! But since I did this, I was mentally prepared to resign and even resign from all positions inside and outside the party."

Cook sighed, "If you do this, we conservatives will step down!"

Thor smiled slightly and asked back, "Do you think our strength can be stopped by our forces now in the face of the aggressive military threat of the Chinese Empire? We have absolutely no chance of winning if we don't unite with the radicals. If we want to fight against the Chinese Empire, the two factions must work together."

After pausing, Thor said again: "I have already talked to the radical leader William Glaston. After I step down, our two factions will form a coalition government. This time we will completely clear the new and old hatreds with the Chinese Empire, so we must unite all forces that can be united."

Cook was stunned. He didn't expect Thor to be so bold, but then he thought about the current situation, Thor was indeed unable to support himself and had to seek foreign aid.

In the next few months, British politics was in turmoil, with conservatives and radicals in secret negotiations. After bargaining, the two sides agreed to form a joint cabinet to jointly deal with the threat of war from the Chinese Empire.

However, considering that the British Empire was not prepared for war, Thor did not resign for the time being, but continued to serve as prime minister.

In fact, it is to let Thor continue to play the role of blackface, which will attract the hatred of the people of the whole country, and on the other hand, it will appease the Chinese Empire. After all, whether the Chinese Empire's non-resistance policy is welcomed by the Chinese Empire, once Thor steps down, the new prime minister will inevitably not be able to implement the non-resistance policy, and then a war and conflict with the Chinese Empire will inevitably break out.

Therefore, in order to delay time, Thor continued to serve as prime minister, but privately, radical leader William Glaston had already taken control of the power, and the two factions cooperated to mobilize all forces and accelerate the pace of war preparations.

During these four months, the Chinese Empire kept finding excuses to attack the British army on Papua, but the British commander Major General Karan strictly followed a policy of non-resistance. No matter how the Chinese Empire Shen Ce Army bullied him, he just refused to fight back and kept giving in.

In this way, the Chinese Empire had to face international public opinion. The British army would not fight back and scold them, but what else could you do in the Shence Army of the Chinese Empire? Will you be shameless to launch a war of aggression?

Obviously that is impossible!

The most shameless Japan in history has no face in launching a full-scale war when facing a policy of non-resistance, let alone the Chinese Empire, which must be famous!

Half a year later, the Shence Army of the Chinese Empire completely occupied the main island of Papua and the surrounding archipelago. The British army did not fight back, and even evacuated voluntarily, giving up the world's second largest island with a total area of ​​810,000 square kilometers to the Chinese Empire.

In the Forbidden City, Li Weiguo was very happy to learn that the Chinese Emperor* had completely occupied Papua Island. He didn't have to buy it with the British and directly obtained 810,000 square kilometers of land.

Papua Island has a very rich resource, especially high-quality copper mineral resources, which is extremely important to the Chinese Empire.

You should know that the various bullets of the Chinese Emperor's side are still made of copper. After each war begins, the consumption of copper resources is quite amazing. For the Chinese Empire, the shortage of copper resources is a considerable burden.

In fact, Li Weiguo wanted to use steel to make bullets, but cutting steel was obviously a hundred times more difficult than cutting copper. The military industry department once tried to use steel to make bullets, but in the end, it was found that the cost was too high and he had to give up.

As a result, the Chinese Empire turned to importing copper mineral resources from abroad, mainly from Chile and Peru. Copper resources were hoarded during peacetime to meet the consumption during the war. At the same time, after the Chinese Empire occupied Australia, the shortage of copper resources was significantly improved, and Australia's copper resources met the consumption of the Chinese Empire.

But it was just a satisfaction. As the Chinese Empire obtained Papua Island, copper resources were completely enriched and no longer needed to import from South America. The cost dropped significantly again, which was a shot of a boost to the Chinese Empire's bullet production industry.

However, the joy of getting Papua Island was soon broken by a message.

"Report to your Majesty, the intelligence shows that the British Fearless Battleship will be completed in a few months!"

"What? Didn't it meant that it would take at least one year?"

Seeing Li Weiguo frowned, Cheng Kun hurriedly explained: "It's my dereliction of duty! The British domestic calls for anti-China are rising, and the masses are mobilizing and production are being carried out. The workers from British shipyards work overtime to build warships, which greatly accelerated the construction speed of the British Navy's dreadnought. The British side implemented controls and prohibited personnel from entering and leaving. Our intelligence personnel were trapped inside and unable to get out, so it was delayed."

Li Weiguo did not get angry, but calmed down.

According to the information from SHIELD in China, the British Navy will obtain twelve fearless battleships within the next six months, which are the strongest Queen Mary-class battleships. The displacement of a single battleship is more than 25,000 tons, and it is equipped with 12 main guns of 343 mm. The speed is unknown, after all, there is no sea test yet.

On the surface, the six Queen Mary-class battleships are very powerful, with a tonnage of more than 2,000 tons more than the Chinese Empire's dreadnought battleships. The number of main guns on both sides is the same. However, the Queen Mary-class uses a 343 mm caliber and is slightly larger than the Chinese Empire's 330 mm caliber. However, the Queen Mary-class's main gun is only 40 times the caliber, while the Chinese Empire's dreadnought is 305 mm 50 times the caliber and 330 mm 45 times the caliber.

However, the **** of the Chinese Empire was the most powerful T-Entrek, which used armor-piercing blasting bombs, while the British one was the picoric acid just developed. The armor-piercing bombs and blasting bombs were used separately, and their power and destructive power were obviously not as good as the Chinese Empire.

At the same time, the Chinese Empire used steam turbine technology, and battleships with more than 22,000 tons could run at a speed of 21 knots. The British Queen Mary-class battleship also used traditional steam engines, a behemoth of 25,000 tons. If the armor was not sacrificed, the speed would definitely not exceed 17 knots.

This is hidden data. Li Weiguo can analyze the approximate performance of the Queen Mary-class battleship, but the British side cannot infer the hidden performance of the Chinese Empire's Fearless-class battleship.

This is an advantage, and it is a very big advantage.

The Chinese Navy, which possesses this advantage, is not afraid of being overtaken by the British Navy.

Li Weiguo believed in this.

Cheng Kun said again: "Although the British Navy can only have 6 Queen Mary-class battleships at the accelerated completion, the United Kingdom still has allies, there are 8 Indiana-class battleships in the United States, and Japan has two Fuji-class battleships. Among them, the United States has strong industrial strength and very fast shipbuilding speed. Although the British Queen Mary-class starts construction first, the Indiana-class probably will be completed one month earlier. The Japanese Fuji-class is relatively slow to build, and even if you work overtime, it will have to be completed in a year."

Li Weiguo made up his calculations and said, "That is to say, in the next six months, the navies of Britain and the United States will have 14 fearless battleships in total!"

The Chinese Empire had 12 Fearless Class Battleships and 14 of Britain and the United States. On the surface, Britain and the United States had the advantage, but in Li Weiguo's view, the British and American navies could not defeat the Chinese Navy together, and at most they had a chance of winning, provided that the Chinese Navy made major mistakes.

“Where are other countries?”

After hearing Li Weiguo's question, Cheng Kun hurriedly opened the folder, found the relevant information, and then reported it back.

"Thank you to your Majesty, in addition to the United Kingdom, the United States and Japan, the German Empire, the Second French Empire, the Tsarist Russian Empire, the Italian Kingdom, the Austro-Hungarian Empire, the Ottoman Turkish Empire, and the Spanish Empire are all starting construction of fearless battleships."

"The German Empire's fearless battleships are built at the fastest speed. Currently, the hulls of four Nassau-class battleships have been completed and launched, and the main gun and superstructure are being installed. Under normal circumstances, it will be completed in another year. However, intelligence shows that the German Emperor has ordered construction to start day and night, and it is estimated that the construction will be completed within half a year."

The Nassau-class battleship is a first-class battleship built by the German Empire Navy against the British Navy Queen Mary-class battleship. It has a designed displacement of 000 tons and is equipped with four triple 305mm 50-diameter main guns, with a theoretical speed of 18 knots. Among them, the hull, steam engine and other systems are produced and built by the German Navy itself, and the triple 305mm 50-diameter main gun is imported from the Chinese Empire.

Li Weiguo smiled and said, "With four Nassau-class battleships of the German Empire, the British Navy is even more afraid to act rashly. His six Queen Mary-class battleships probably have to be placed in the North Sea and it is impossible to easily transfer to the Pacific Ocean."

Cheng Kun agreed: "Your Majesty is too accurate. The German Empire has the technical support behind us, so the construction of Nassau-class battleships is fast and very smooth. As for the French Empire, although it has also begun to build four Colbert-class battleships, it should be built, modified and demolished, and then built again. It will be completed at least two years later. Therefore, France cannot contain Germany, so the British can only restrain the German navy by themselves."

As for other European powers, they were all exploring and advancing in terms of fearless battleships, so although they were all starting to build fearless battleships, they were all slow. The British themselves were working overtime and had no time to help these countries, and the Chinese Empire could not easily export fearless-class battleship technology to these countries.

Li Weiguo nodded and said, "Theoretical General, even if the British had Queen Mary-class battleships, they would not dare to go to a full war with us."

Cheng Kun smiled and said, "Your Majesty is wise. The empire has now seized the Papua Islands without any blood. We can take the opportunity to attack the Solomon Islands and New Zealand again. I believe that the British have to continue to tolerate and continue to pursue their non-resistance policy."

Li Weiguo thought for a while and said, "It's the case in theory, but in fact, whether the British will continue to not resist remains to be verified!"

Thinking of this, Li Weiguo picked up the phone and issued an order to the Ministry of War to order the Imperial Navy Pacific Fleet to head to the Solomon Islands and New Zealand Islands, and continue to use the excuse to wipe out the remnants of the Viking Pirates, land tentatively, and see the British's reaction.

At the same time, Li Weiguo summoned major naval officials to discuss the current international naval form.
