Between the Xiweiyi and Guam, on the vast Pacific Ocean, a large number of small islands and reefs are everywhere.

The main force of the Imperial Navy's Pacific Fleet and the Guam Submarine Squadron conducted a confrontation exercise. The first battle site was located in a certain area north of the Marshall Islands and south of Wake Island.

Under the leadership of commander Chen Shen, the Guam Submarine Squadron unexpectedly sank the Thor battleship, the flagship of the Pacific Fleet. Although the Guam Submarine Squadron was wiped out in one fell swoop, it sank more than a dozen main battleships of the Pacific Fleet, and the results were brilliant, and even though it was defeated, it was still honorable.

However, I thought the exercise was over, but I found that a submarine was missing.

On the sea, thirty-seven submarines surfaced and military flags were displayed.

Chen Shen personally observed and based on the hull number of each submarine, he finally found a submarine with no number 81073.

"Send a report to Tongyu No. 1 immediately and ask what's going on?"

The Tongyu number is the submarine with hull number 81073.

According to the regulations on the formulation of hull numbers of naval ships in the Empire of China, the submarine number that begins with the 8th character is expressed in five digits, which looks scary. Foreigners would think that the Empire of China has built and put into service more than 80,000 submarines.

In fact, the Chinese Empire Navy currently only serves more than 500 submarines, and the number of Tongyu is 81073. After removing the number 8, it is 1073. Then divide it by 2 to the number of submarines.

This is because, in reality, the navy does not number in the order of 145, but replaces odd numbers and even numbers in turn, and decides whether it is an odd number or an even number. For example, when the 100th submarine is numbered, the drawer draws an odd number, and its hull number is 201. And so on, the 101st submarine draws an even number, so its number is 204.

The purpose of this numbering method is to confuse the investigation of foreign military intelligence personnel, making it impossible for them to guess how many submarines the Imperial Navy had based on the numbers.

At this time, Chen Shen still had a little fantasy about the 81073 Tongyu submarine, believing that the exercise was not over and that the Tongyu submarine might have been submersible in secret and was not discovered by the Red Party.

"It seems that we have not been completely wiped out yet!"

Chen Shen smiled to cover up his nervousness, but cold sweat appeared on his forehead. As a professional soldier, he didn't feel that it was a false alarm, but he couldn't say anything. He could only hope that it was a false alarm. He was too worried!

"Hmph, it's just a fish that misses the net!"

Li Weijun snorted coldly. He was worried that he had no place to vent his anger, so he immediately gave the adjutant a wink.

Soon, the sonar systems of the various ships of the Pacific Fleet were running at maximum power, and they were scrambling to find the 81073 Copper Fish submarine first.

You must torture him hard!

This is the unanimous voice of the Red Army officers and soldiers of the Pacific Fleet. Today's painful lessons are difficult for them to let go and will not be forgotten for a long time in the future.

At the same time, the 81073 Tongyu submarine also responded.

"The submarine has an emergency accident, and the floating system and horizontal rudder failure!"

When Chen Shen saw the news, he felt relieved. It didn't seem like some major accident.

But soon he frowned. The floating system failure means that the submarine cannot float to the sea. The horizontal rudder fails, so it cannot turn, which means that the Tongyu submarine can only sail in one direction.

"Report the location of the copper fish number!"

After a long time, Tongyu No. 1 replied.

"It is roughly located in the southwest of Wake Island, but it is not certain, because the time of the submarine rudder failure is uncertain, and there may be a problem at the beginning."

Chen Shen's brows twisted even tighter.

Li Weijun snorted coldly on the side and said, "It turned out that there was an accident. I was shocked. I thought I would have another sneak attack that was hiding the world!"

"Is there another accident? Send a rescue team immediately and be sure to bring the officers and soldiers on the Tongyu submarine safely back!"

Seeing that the submarine had a malfunction, Li Weiguo thought it was caused by high-intensity training. After all, there were too many such things recently, so he asked Li Weijun to prepare to rescue the Tongyu immediately.

"I obey the order!" Li Weijun was ordered to order the guards to be lifted and prepared to organize rescue.

Chen Shen suddenly stopped him and said, "Commander Li, just send a rescue team, it's better not to lift the alert for the time being!"

Li Weijun asked, "What do you want to say?"

Chen Shen glanced at Li Weijun and then said to Li Weiguodao: "Your Majesty, it's been a turbulent situation recently. I think it's better to be careful!"

Li Weiguo's eyes were sharp, and he instantly saw that Chen Shen had some suspicion of the Tongyu, so he nodded to Li Weijun.

Li Weijun received the order and only ordered the mobilization of rescue teams, but did not lift the first-level alert state of the fleet.

"Chen Shen, what are you worried about?"

Li Weiguo asked suddenly.

Chen Shen replied: "Report to Your Majesty, I think this matter is strange! Major Chen Dachun, the commander of the Tongyu number, is a very experienced submarine tactical commander. If the submarine's floating system and steering system fail, you should immediately discover it, and at the same time, you will generate a power report to us as soon as possible."

Li Weiguo nodded, thinking that Chen Shen’s analysis was more reasonable.

"In addition, when Weichen informed all submarine exercises, there was no accident reported in the reply from Tongyu. If the officers and soldiers of other warships had not suddenly discovered that there were only 37 submarines floating on the sea, Weichen would not have known that there was one hidden in the sea."

When Chen Shen talked about it later, Li Weiguo's expression had become heavier.

It is said that being an emperor is suspicious and suspicious, and it is not false at all.

Li Weiguo's current personality is a bit suspicious, because every emperor is always guarding against others, worried that others will usurp the throne and assassinate himself.

At this moment, Li Weiguo couldn't help but remember that Li Weijun said before that he felt bad, and something big might happen.

Thinking of the strange situation of the Tongyu number, Li Weiguo became more and more alert.

"Have you not found the Tongyu number?"

"Strangely, no Tongyu number was detected within a radius of thirty nautical miles!"

"Reasonablely, when the commander of Tongyu discovered that the submarine was malfunctioning, he should stop and try his best to float to the sea. Therefore, the Tongyu submarine must be in the nearby exercise area. At the speed of the submarine, it should be within twenty nautical miles!"

Several fleet staff members discussed with each other, and the voice was neither loud nor small, which could just fall into Li Weiguo's ears.

Chen Shen sent another telegram to Tongyu and asked about some information.

"The telegram from the Tongyu number said that they had stopped a long time ago, but they didn't know where they were. If they asked His Majesty to rescue him as soon as possible, their air would be exhausted."

The commander of the Tongyu number directly requested Li Weiguo, so Li Weiguo had to issue a quick order: "Immediately increase the search efforts and must find them as soon as possible!"

So, the Pacific Fleets divided into more than a dozen teams, casting nets in all directions, looking for the location of the Copper Fish.

Even Li Weiguo's imperial ship Guanghua joined the search team and actively searched for the Tongyu submarine.

Fifty nautical miles away, there is an unmanned shallow atoll. This atoll has a famous name in later generations, called Bikini Atoll.

But this era has no name yet.

In the lagoon, a periscope quietly rose on the water surface and circled to observe the surrounding situation.

A seabird flew past and landed on the periscope, with a huge black shadow below it.

If Chen Shen stood here, he would definitely recognize that this was the missing submarine Copper Fish.

At this moment, a sailor observer was using a periscope to observe the surrounding situation.

In the sight glass, he found the magnificent imperial battleship Guanghua.

"Report, I discovered the Guanghua number!"

Chief of staff Kim Sung-wo, who was studying the chart, raised his head and revealed a pair of dark eyes.

"There are only two frigates around! They are heading towards us!"

Jin Chengwu's eyes suddenly lit up, he took over the periscope and observed it himself.

Sure enough, in sight, Li Weiguo's imperial ship Guanghua. With its magnificent luxury decoration, there will never be a second such luxury ship in the world.

"That's right, it's this ship, the Dog Emperor's royal ship!"

Jin Chengwu said excitedly, with hatred eyes on his eyes. If someone blocked his eyes, he would definitely be killed by this gaze.

As a captain officer of the Imperial Navy, Jin Chengwu actually called Li Weiguo's name directly, which was very disrespectful.

Of course, if he had already decided to treason and was no longer a naval officer or citizen of the Chinese Empire, then he could indeed call Li Weiguo's name directly.

At this moment, there were only five people in the Tongyu submarine, including Jin Chengwu, who had the highest military rank.

There were still some blood and fighting traces on the floor. It was obvious that a battle had occurred here not long ago. Jin Chengwu and his four accomplices killed the captain of the Tongyu Captain Chen Dachun and ten other sailors, and the bodies were piled in the rest warehouse.

It is really surprising that such a rebellion occurred in the Chinese Empire Navy.

However, if you think of the recent controversy between Yang Naiwu and Xiao Baicai cases in the Chinese Empire, it is not difficult to find out why Jin Chengwu launched a rebellion.

It turned out that Jin Chengwu was a bannerman, whose real name was Aisin Gioro Zaiyun, a clan of the royal family. He was originally a master every day and had endless fun. Because Li Weiguo rebelled and overthrew the Qing Dynasty, he made Jin Chengwu go from a high-ranking master to a turtle grandson that everyone shouted to beat.

The Han people turned over and took over the bannermen, and they fled one after another, and since then they hid their names.

Most of the fleeing bannermen took Jin as their surname to commemorate their ancestor, the Great Jin Kingdom. Zaiyun also changed his name to Jin Chengwu. He spent all his savings and finally got a Han identity and hid in a remote mountainous area to live in seclusion.

Over time, in order to quickly consolidate his rule, Li Weiguo immigrated the world and stopped pursuing the remnants of the previous dynasty, which finally made Jin Chengwu feel relieved.

However, hatred will not change.

As the rule of the Chinese Empire became more and more stable, Jin Chengwu gradually realized that he was becoming increasingly unable to shake the Chinese Empire.

Even Li Hongzhang, who was reluctant to attack at the time, and the remaining ministers of the previous dynasty seemed to have begun to retreat, believing that the Chinese Empire could not be defeated, and Li Weiguo's rule of rule was completely stable.

However, Kim Sung-woo was unwilling to give up. At first, he did not receive any help at home, so he targeted the hostile countries of the Chinese Empire, the British Empire, the United States, Japan and other countries. Britain, the United States and Japan were determined to find partners in the Chinese Empire. After learning about Kim Sung-wo's identity, they cooperated with each other.

Jin Chengwu used his network of relationships and quickly contacted Li Hongzhang and other remains. With the help of British, American and Japanese funds, the Assassin Alliance was established, and Jin Chengwu was one of the leaders.

Jin Chengwu always believed that as long as Li Weiguo was assassinated, the Chinese Empire would collapse. Therefore, for more than 20 years, Jin Chengwu has been using the Assassin Alliance to continuously assassinate Li Weiguo, but in the end they all failed.

But Jin Chengwu was not discouraged. He contacted old people and began to infiltrate the Chinese Empire military. Jin Chengwu himself became a submarine officer, secretly developed an anti-Li Weiguo member, and lurked in the Shence Army.

Jin Chengwu originally planned to use money to promote himself until he had enough military power to mobilize before killing Li Weiguo.
