December 30, 1832.
South of the equator, on the Pacific Ocean.
Night has gradually fallen, and a huge convoy of hundreds of ships of all kinds has covered dozens of square kilometers of sea. One by one, warships and ships plowed out the ocean. White waves, one after another, moved toward the southwest... to liberate the suffering Australians, no, it should be the people of the Southern Continent!
Yes, this is the fleet sent by the Ming Dynasty to save the indigenous people of the Southern Continent from being exterminated by the Anglo-Saxon gangs!
In this timeline, the numerous crimes committed by the Anglo-Saxons in exterminating the indigenous people of the Southern Continent and the Indians of North America cannot be denied. Because the evidence is conclusive, with both witnesses and material evidence! The ships covering tens of square kilometers on the sea were filled with soldiers of the Great Tomorrow who were going to collect evidence. Instead, they took assault rifles and hit the An-Sa people on the southern continent on the forehead, and kept them crying and confessing their sins. ...This is true justice!
Hundreds of smoke pillars went straight into the sky, and the setting sun shone down, reflecting on the ocean with sparkling light. Between the sea and the sky, there is righteousness.
Every ship within dozens of square kilometers was flying the sun and moon flag. And on the warships guarding the outer perimeter, the bloody red flag symbolizing the decisive battle was dancing!
Now the entire South Pacific is dominated by the Ming Navy. After the Kwajalein Battle, the Pacific Fleet has completely controlled the sea. The remnants of the British and Australian Grand Fleet have abandoned Port Moresby and are still missing. No one knows where they have gone?
According to the report of the 101st Fleet (First Air Force of the Pacific Fleet) that recently air raided Port Moresby, there is no longer a ship worth bombing in Port Moresby, and there are no ships in the Papua Sea and Coral Sea. What can be fried.
The 102nd Fleet (Second Battleship Group of the Pacific Fleet), which was responsible for pursuing the defeated British fleet, reported that there is no trace of the British Royal Navy in the New Guia Sea and Solomon Sea. However, there are still British troops stationed on some islands in New Guinea and the Solomon Islands... But no one cares about them now. Zhuge Weidao and Mu Zhongjun do not intend to attack the British guards one after another. Island, their plan is to go straight to Huanglong!
That is to say, we will bypass these islands without fighting, advance directly from Hawaii to the southwest, pass through the open sea between the Solomon Islands and the New Hebrides Islands, and go straight to the east coast of Australia - this distance is about 4,000 nautical miles. If the fleet advances at a speed of 12, it will take 330 hours and 13-14 days.
The landing fleet currently sailing in the ocean left Hawaii on December 26. The assembly and formation of the landing fleet were completed on the 27th. On the 28th, it merged with the 103rd Fleet and the 105th Fleet (escort fleet) to form the Grand fleet. If everything goes well, we will reach the east coast of Australia by early January 1833!
The reason why they rushed in such a hurry was not only to help the indigenous people of the Southern Continent escape the sea of genocide as soon as possible, but also to strike while the iron was hot and to seize the time to give Australia's British Army and Royal Navy some time before they came out of the shock of the tragic defeat in the naval battle. They hit hard.
On the Pacific Fleet flagship "Nanjing", Admiral Zhuge Weidao was looking at photos in his spacious and comfortable office - these photos were taken of British warships that were destroyed and were sinking or about to sink, including large battleships. , armored cruisers, aircraft-carrying armored cruisers, second- and third-class cruisers, and destroyers with a displacement of about 1,000 tons!
They were all sent to Zhuge Weidao by airships, seaplanes or fleet 103 of the Ming Army... A thick stack of photos that made Zhuge Weidao happy - this photography is very important to Zhuge Weidao. What a very practical invention for a military commander! Whether it really sank the old British warship or not, you can get a rough idea by looking at the photos.
Zhuge Weidao looked at each one very carefully - he had to make sure that those photos were not from photos, and he also wanted to identify who those battleships, armored cruisers, aircraft-carrying armored cruisers, etc. were?
When he was watching with enthusiasm, there was a knock on the door of his office.
"Come in." Zhuge Weidao said habitually.
It was his chief of staff Zhuge Yangyang who pushed the door open. After walking in, he reported in a low voice and respectfully: "Admiral, the flagship of the First Air War, the Guangdong, sent a telegram, saying that it was a seaplane sent by the First Air War. The remnants of the British fleet were discovered off the eastern coast of the Southern Continent... There are still dozens of intact ships, reporting at least 20 battleships, 2 aircraft-carrying armored cruisers, 10 armored cruisers, and a large number of cruisers and destroyers! They They are rapidly retreating south along the Southern Ocean coastline, and it is estimated that they will retreat to Sydney Harbour!"
"Evacuate to Sydney?" Zhuge Weidao immediately stood up and walked to the chart hanging on the wall of his office. His chief of staff Zhuge took out the red and blue pencils and drew a naval battle and the British on the chart. Approximate location of the fleet.
"It's a bit far!" Zhuge Weidao looked at the chart and said to himself, "Maybe we can let the First Air War attack Sydney..."
Chief of Staff Zhuge did not answer Zhuge Weidao's fault, but took out a telegram, handed it to Zhuge Weidao with both hands, and said: "Uncle 108, this is the telegram from home..."
"At home?"
Zhuge Weidao immediately understood that the so-called "inside the family" was of course not his small family in Pearl Harbor, but the "big family" of the Zhuge family. To be precise, this was the instruction of the military division!
Although an internal group of a big family gave instructions to Zhuge Weidao, the admiral of the Pacific Fleet... It is not correct in any way, but the current Ming Dynasty is such a system where the remnants of feudalism and capitalism are deeply integrated.
Zhuge Weidao took the telegram and unfolded it and read it, then frowned: "Let go? Is this a suggestion from the military advisor? Does the old man have some... tacit understanding with the British?"
It turns out that this telegram requested Zhuge Dao to release the remaining main force of the Royal Navy... and have them return to Sydney to refuel and resupply before leaving the Southern Continent forever!
"Uncle 108, the Military Division believes that it is not appropriate to weaken Britain's maritime power too much...otherwise she will be unable to defend the British Isles, nor can she bear the heavy responsibility of disrupting the situation on the European continent. According to reliable information obtained by the Naval Intelligence Agency, the French Republic The size and quality of the navy will increase significantly in the next year! If Napoleon II took advantage of the vacuum in British naval strength created by our annihilation of the main force of the Royal Navy, and launched a landing across the English Channel... The consequences will be unimaginable!”
"This..." Zhuge Weidao frowned, "Is this really possible?"
"Of course! Landing in Britain is the best plan for Napoleon II to consolidate power and establish the Second French Empire... Once he successfully conquers the British Isles, he will become a hero throughout Europe! If we want to stop the Second French Empire... If the empire unifies Europe, it must vigorously support the Rakshasa, and once the Rakshasa defeats the Second French Empire, they will unify Europe themselves! So it is in our interests to retain a strong Britain!"
