In the following time, although Cradock insisted on visiting the entire battleship with Sa Zhenbing, most of the time it seemed that he was not thinking deeply and obviously not focused. △↗,

Most of his spirit was occupied by the terrible information conveyed in those words just now!

"What terrible consequences will happen if the Chinese really export revolution to the British Empire colonies, or sell weapons and equipment, help the colonial natives train soldiers, or even send troops to accept the other party's "invitation" and openly participate in the fight against the colonial army?!"

Major General Cradock thought secretly, and the answer immediately jumped out of his mind: "It must be very bad! Just look at the fate of the Spaniard in Luzon."

Yes, there is nothing more representative than the change of ownership in the Luzon Islands.

The Spanish ruled there for more than 300 years and had already operated as impure, completely enslaving the entire uncivilized black-skinned monkey race. Even in recent decades, the Spanish Empire's comprehensive strength was so backward that it could hardly be ranked among the great powers. When the steam-powered battleships were popularized by various countries, they could only rely on some broken wooden sail hybrid warships to maintain their rule.

The Luzons did not dare to resist very much. Even the so-called "struggle" that was launched in the end was just a group of slaves trying to fight for a little pitiful power, trying to let the slave owner loosen the rope around his neck a little. True national independence, true freedom? They didn't dare to imagine it at all!

Originally, it would have been a farce. With the arrival of thousands of infantry sent by the Spanish, it was only a short time to calm down.

However, the Chinese intervened.

In the early days, they secretly sent spies to lurk in, developed local overseas Chinese to become offline, and smuggled weapons and equipment to enhance the strength of the rebels, which gave the Spanish a headache for a while.

However, this is still under control. They quickly stubbornly with their hundreds of years of colonial experience. At this moment, the Chinese openly dispatched the navy in the name of protecting overseas Chinese and used naval guns to smash the colonial army that had pulled the formation away!

Afterwards, the Chinese looted Manila and eventually drove away the Spaniards completely, and as a protector, they completed the substantial occupation of the huge island with rich resources!

Those Luzon black-skinned monkeys who were sold and were happy to help count money all regarded the Chinese as the saviors to liberate them! While being grateful, they willingly helped China dig minerals. They built heavily polluted raw material processing factories and sold their non-renewable resources vigorously. They only stared at the slightest profit in front of them, regardless of what kind of support their descendants in a hundred years later.

After this whole set of actions, when all the powers and countries understood it, even the skilled British people had to say "admiration"!

It is simply amazing to be able to use and rule the neighboring countries and nations so much! In comparison, the colonial expansion, barbaric invasion, killing and destruction of the great powers over hundreds of years are simply weak!

But the great powers could not learn this set of methods at all. The reasons were multifaceted, and the fundamental one was that they could not do it. White supremacy is now widely present in the heads of the great powers. Even the powerful China now can only obtain their reluctant and helpless recognition.

In the bones, Western whites still unwaveringly believe that as God's darlings, they are superior to all other people of color.

What is heartbreaking is that China can do things that Western powers cannot do easily. The countries in the Indochina Peninsula have been either the territory of the Chinese Empire or vassal states since ancient times, and they are all extremely affected by their culture. As long as China becomes stronger, they will almost inevitably regenerate centripetal force. Once China adopts the same policy as Luzon, it will be easy to gather all these countries into peripheral barriers!

The Indochina Peninsula is an important colony of Britain and France!

Once China unifies Southeast Asia, it will have a land area of ​​tens of millions of square kilometers based on its population, a rich variety of resources, strong industrial strength, and strong thousands of years of inherited civilization. It will surely become another extreme existence in the world!

Even, it may replace the British Empire as the new world leader!

Another thing that is fatal: China and India are neighboring countries! Even if the current passage is on the inaccessible Qinghai-Tibet Plateau and need to cross the Himalayas, as long as the Chinese Navy takes all its strength to open up the sea and land passage from the south to India, vigorously export revolution and support resources, India, as the most dazzling pearl in the crown of the empire, is likely to escape from the control of the empire!

Cradock shuddered when he thought about how much the British Empire would decline without Indian colonies!

He even suspected that this time the Chinese Navy made an unusually high-profile visit, stopping along the way and showing its strength, and perhaps with similar sinister intentions!

"No! Never let them succeed!"

Major General Cradock is a loyal imperial nobleman. He has the responsibility and obligation to bravely shoulder the responsibility of safeguarding the security and interests of the empire, discover the crisis at the first time, and issue a timely warning!

With these things constantly wandering around in his mind, the Lord Jazz didn't even bother to spy on the secrets of the "Tianjin" heavy cruiser. His absent-minded expression was beyond words, and the old fried dough stick Sa Zhenbing could see through at a glance.

"Those scholars in the General Staff Department are amazing! Just taking out this trick, it actually shocked the great major general of the British Empire, which is beneficial to the interests!"

Sa Zhenbing secretly praised himself and kept accompanying the visit to the end.

Major General Cradock took all the personnel and hurriedly left the "Tianjin" after getting ashore. He got on the car and rushed to the Mumbai Garage Command as fast as possible. He personally stared at the telegrapher and sent out the 100,000 telegrams prepared on the road. Not only to the Admiralty, but also to all the nobles, ministers, and members of the MPs whom he had related.

The bigwigs in London have been paying close attention to the actions of the Chinese Navy, and the telegram was delivered to everyone's desks as soon as possible.

When they saw Sa Zhenbing, the deputy commander-in-chief of the powerful Chinese Navy, who was recognized as taking over the powerful Chinese Navy, said in person, the entire British upper class was in an uproar!

Conservative leader Arthur Belford sarcastically mocked the Liberals: "Look! What am I saying? The Chinese are simply bad intentions! They have never intended to live in peace with the civilized world, and they have used such despicable means to destroy our dominance from the foundation! What else can I say about such an enemy? We must call on the entire civilized world to initiate the most decisive and thorough punishment of China! It is best to eliminate all the evil head of state and the young party members under him. We will forever eliminate future troubles!"

Navy Minister Churchill shouted arrogantly: "Send all our fleets! I believe that using nearly thirty powerful warships is enough to wipe out the entire Chinese maritime power! The Royal Navy of the British Empire will surely use giant ships and cannons to teach the Chinese what respect is!"

The sound of war was rampant, almost overturning the roof of the House of Lords.

The current Prime Minister Asquis was full of sorrow, with overwhelming spit, he gritted his teeth and tried his best to ease: "Please be sure to treat this matter calmly. Don't make a decision that is likely to be regrettable when you are angry. Now the Chinese are just speaking out of a general's mouth, but they may not necessarily take action."

Churchill pushed his neck hard and said, "Why didn't he take action? Does the Prime Minister think the Chinese are just talking? Look at Luzon. Look at Japan and look at North Korea. How did they do it?! We all know that the Chinese secretly supported the Boer resistance, which made the empire pay a huge price in the war to fight and annihilate them! It is obvious that they have already begun to export attack forces against the civilized world to the outside world! The facts are right in front of you, do you still pretend that you haven't seen anything?"

The former Prime Minister of Belford was coldly aggravated weight: "We all know that a guy named Gandhi was operating in South Africa. He was nominally providing legal aid to Indians who violated the law. However, according to the reports we received, he was really conspiring to counter the empire's rule over India! Do you know if he had already joined the Chinese spies there, and even participated in the Boer rebellion, and was even accumulating experience and cultivating combat knowledge?!"

The aggressive words seemed to stab the Prime Minister and the Liberals in the chest.

Asquis touched the cold sweat and explained stubbornly: "As far as we know, that Gandhi was a devout Hindus. His theory of refusing violence and treating force with calmness and tolerance does not seem to be enough to shake the rule of the empire. In addition, we must clearly see that the most threat to the empire is always the Germans who are in front of us, so the warships of the imperial navy cannot be easily mobilized."

"Are you just letting the Chinese ignore it?"

Churchill also knew this, and no one could guarantee whether the Germans would take risks. In particular, both countries were fighting for the winner of the construction speed of the most advanced battleships. Any negligence would lead to the failure of the shipbuilding competition, and the consequences would be extremely serious!

No matter how powerful the Conservatives are, they may not be able to afford it!

Asquith could still hold on at a critical moment. He gritted his teeth and did not relax: "We cannot be sure of the actions of the Chinese. At least for the time being, the meaning they actively conveyed seems threatening, but in fact it may not be a bargaining chip that seeks negotiations and releases in advance. The empire should immediately start a frank dialogue, and perhaps achieve a gratifying result. Everyone, please be sure to face up to the rise of the Chinese. This is an irreversible fact."

Speaking of this, Belfort and Churchill had nothing to say about.

In fact, the Chinese navy defeated the navy of the great powers and sank their most advanced battleships. Ten years later, who can guarantee that they can turn defeat into victory with the newly built warships? You must know that the latest battleships of Britain, France, Germany, Russia, and the United States are all aimed at the "Hebei-level". How amazing is the more advanced and powerful "Guangxi-level"?

Quantity does not necessarily mean an advantage. I lost the fight ten years ago, but I may not be able to win now. Although Churchill was so fierce that he was not as confident as he was.

Today, China not only has a strong navy, but the army has just won Russia with less and more. Although Tsar Nicholas II was so angry that he mobilized more troops to go up and swears to teach the Chinese a lesson, all countries can see their weakness and are very unhappy about the outcome of the war.

Although the quarrel between the House of Lords and the upper class is the norm, a decision must be made quickly at the moment. Even if it is temporary, one must first have an attitude. At least, it cannot directly offend the Chinese, which will not benefit the UK at all.

In the end, Prime Minister Asquis temporarily gained the upper hand. When Major General Cradock was waiting for a blister on his lips, he finally sent a telegram, authorizing him: "Try to stabilize the Chinese and try to figure out their true intentions."

Major General Cradock is much luckier than the Governor of the Straits. At least he doesn't have to make decisions without authorization and take the blame for this.

That night, the Major General personally invited and attended a reception banquet for the Chinese Navy Visitors, and held a banquet at the Naval Club in Mumbai to celebrate the ice-breaking diplomatic actions of the two countries.

After three tours of drinking, he brought up his chores intentionally or unintentionally and asked about the purpose that the Chinese Navy expected to achieve when traveling around the world.

Sa Zhenbing seemed to be careless and said: "The Chinese Navy is too young and has insufficient experience. After more than 20 years of hard work, it finally looks a little bit. He doesn't know what his level is, so he brought it out to seniors from all over the world and his colleagues to check the quality. If he could do a few live-fire exercises together and learn more experience from all over the country, it would be great."

That attitude is so sincere, and the attitude is so low!

The more this happens, Major General Cradock dares to take it lightly. He admits that the young and powerful Chinese navy, and the powerful and clumsy, hit the master to death, often happens! If the Chinese were taught, God knows whether they would counterattack the teacher and step on the corpse of their predecessors to take over!

He dealt with it with a reserved attitude, and found someone behind his back to generate electricity for London to inform him of the situation.

London quickly issued an order: "Agree to conduct exercises with the Chinese fleet, try to find out their details, slow down their movements, and hold them back."

In this way, you and I, everyone was so harmonious that the two fleets were determined to carry out an exercise so rashly.

The Chinese Navy seemed to be in a hurry to rush, and sent a staff team to develop an exercise plan with the British, confirming that the Chinese apprentice would play the role of the enemy (German Navy), form a guerrilla fleet with a battleship, a cruiser and a supply ship, and launch an attack on the British West Indian Navy.

This is the plan determined after both sides made concessions and both sides recognized the judgment of the Germans. The difference is that Sazhenbing has examples obtained by the great head of state from the history of the world, while the British rely on their hundreds of years of understanding of their old neighbors.

The exercise began a week later on the ocean to the west of India.

When the Chinese warships entered the starting position, Major General Cradock's face appeared with a cold smile: "Next, let's teach the cute apprentices a good lesson! Let them deeply realize that having advanced warships alone does not mean that they can win!" (To be continued.)
