Having the truth is hard work pays off. Lord John Hai's hard work has finally achieved results. △￠

After receiving the order from the collection, countless civilian fishing boats immediately formed a large arc, one by one, anchored on the sea five to ten nautical miles outside the Royal Navy's First Fleet's home port, Milford Port.

Of course, the most important thing is that under these countless fishing boats, they are towed with super large fishing nets woven according to the special standards proposed by the Navy.

Lord John Sea also proposed the term "defense network" for the first time.

And the facts are still proving that Lord John Sea's inventions were quite effective. Because after these "preventive submersible nets" were pulled up, for several days, the submarines of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom Red Navy did not show up again.

The officers and soldiers of the First Fleet of the Royal Navy of the British Empire can finally sleep peacefully at night.

Lord John Sea was naturally even more excited.

As the saying goes, only by preserving yourself can you attack the enemy more effectively.

But what Lord John Sea didn't expect was that just as he had a stable mindset and began to be able to ponder about how to effectively annihilate the enemy next step, his third fleet's hatred of complete destruction, in the North Sea, the main force of his Royal Navy's Second Fleet of the British Empire was struggling painfully at the gates of hell.

To give full play to the advantages of long-range artillery fire, Luo Dagang's Red Navy's High Seas Fleet made it difficult for the officers and soldiers of the Second Fleet of the Royal Navy of the British Empire to resist.

Under the cover of powerful long-range artillery fire of the Red Navy High Seas Fleet, the formation that the Royal Navy of the British Empire had just taken was immediately disrupted.

As the Red Navy High Seas Destroyer fleet launched another fierce torpedo raid like a storm, the Royal Navy's Second Fleet became even more chaotic and could no longer clench his fists.

Therefore, Luo Dagang personally led the Red Navy High Seas Fleet and the Allied Fleet commanded by Xu Zongyang, which was mainly powered by the Red Navy Pacific Fleet, shuttled as he wanted in the fleet of the Second Royal Navy Fleet of the British Empire, and sent one heavy shell after another torpedo to the deck of the British warship or into the hull of the British warship.

To put it in the words of the surviving officers and soldiers of the Second Fleet of the Royal Navy of the British Empire, it was a day of darkness.

In the words of the Red Navy soldiers, it was a day of great fighting.

But no matter how you describe it, the main force of the Second Fleet of the Royal Navy of the British Empire was finally completely buried in the North Sea...

April 1876, Beijing.

One noon, the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom National Defense and Military Commission held the meals they called. Then, Lin Haifeng, Lin Fengxiang and Li Xiucheng were dining together at the same table. The topic began to talk about the upcoming landing battle against the British.

When talking about the issue of landing in the attack on the English market, Li Xiucheng showed some concerns as always.

The reason is very simple. In the combat plan that has been issued and is about to be put into implementation, as the main force of the Allies' landing operations in the attack on the UK, the Red Army and the First Marine Division of the Red Navy were designated by the Supreme Command of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom. They were neither Dover and Portsmouth, nor any place on the island of England, which was far away from France, and on the English Channel. Instead, they were chosen ingeniously on the back of it, and it was the only remaining bone and blood of the Royal Navy of the British Empire - the home port of the First Fleet, Milford.

There was never the one John Hay who could make his debut on the stage in full publicly, this time facing the Red Navy and the main fleet of the Allied Powers that came to the door. It was also at the critical moment of the country's life and death. No matter how it was, he would take out all his money and fight with the sea power of the Red Navy and the Allied Powers.

Of course, with the existing strength of the Red Navy, especially the rich combat experience of the Red Navy officers and soldiers who have been tempered into steel, and the close cooperation of the maritime forces of the Allies, it is definitely a foregone conclusion to defeat the British fleet, which is not very powerful but not very weak.

But the problem is that this battle is not just a separate showdown between the maritime forces of both sides. In other words, the Allied Combined Fleet commanded by Luo Dagang has another important thing, that is, escorting the ships landing in the combat Red Army units.

Once it is a long and two short, it is not a trivial matter. After all, the total number of warships of the British size and size of the remaining British army is still hundreds.

Although Li Xiucheng had already expressed his concerns when he was formulating this combat plan, now, as the official implementation date of the landing operation was approaching, Li Xiucheng couldn't help but raise his concerns again.

Faced with Li Xiucheng's worries, Lin Haifeng smiled easily, "Xiucheng, it is very necessary to despise the enemy strategically, and pay attention to the enemy tactical attention. Of course, caution and caution are also necessary."

Speaking of this, Lin Haifeng turned his head and looked at Lin Fengxiang who was also waiting for his reply, "Just as I said at the beginning, the formulation of this plan is by no means based on a vent of past anger. Apart from the relatively powerful fleet entrenched in the port, the extremely weak land defense of Milford is not the main reason why we chose to award this place as the landing point. No one would think that we can really chop the knife in our hands here, that is the most critical."

"Yes," Lin Fengxiang nodded repeatedly, "suddenness can also bring the best safety."

"Hahaha," Lin Haifeng continued to smile relaxedly, looked at Lin Fengxiang, and then looked at Li Xiucheng. "The safest thing is the seemingly powerful British fleet, which will not directly attack us."

To say that a maritime force that not only possesses hundreds of warships of all sizes, but also Sir Thomas Simmondes and Lord John Sea, the backbone of the British Empire, would take the attitude of standing by and watching in the critical moment when the enemy was approaching and the country was in danger. At first glance, it sounded like a fantasy.

However, the fact that really began to happen once again proved that Lin Haifeng's prediction of the Royal Navy of the British Empire thousands of miles away was accurate.

Of course, Sir Thomas Simmondes, Lord John Sea and their Royal Navy of the British Empire did not hold their hands in their sleeves, and watched the fall of the British Empire without any concern.

They are quite conscientious, but their conscientious method is a different way. (To be continued, please search for Astronomy, novels are better, updated and faster!
