The news of the total annihilation of the Allied forces in the South China Sea was quickly brought back to Vietnam by Dutch warships.With an army of 30,000, Gordon pursued the rebellious Vietnamese monkeys all the way.According to the plan agreed with Ho Bo, it has broken north to the city of Hue in central Vietnam.Dutch Navy Captain Stephen conveyed the unfortunate news to the army generals of various countries, and told the story in detail.Afterwards, the Dutch warship quietly returned to the Qiongzhou Strait, which was full of scattered splints.Fortunately, several British soldiers were rescued, and now they are still lying in the military medical office for emergency assistance.The generals were in an uproar, all with expressions of distrust on their faces."
How is this possible, we have nearly fifty warships, no matter how powerful the Chinese fleet is, how can it swallow so many in one go" Gordon roared hysterically, and his whole body trembled with rage."
General, that's exactly what happened.The Chinese fleet is equipped with powerful cannons, which have ten times the range and power of ours.The combined fleet was completely wiped out, and only five of us were left with battleships. ”Stephen hung his head sadly, if he hadn't run fast, he probably wouldn't have been able to come back now."
General Gordon, I suggest that you immediately lead the team to rush through Zhennan Pass and kill all these people who don't know what to do" Robert, the deputy commander of the coalition forces, was even more exposed, and he couldn't wait to kill China now, and take a good breath of sulking.Gordon was silent for a long time, and a sad look appeared on his face.According to his understanding of Qiao Zhiqing, the matter must not be over yet.The next target to deal with must be the Army."
Your Excellency, Commander, after I discussed with Stephen just now, we in the Netherlands have decided to withdraw from this battle, and I ask Your Excellency the Commander to understand."
Dutch Army Captain Sneijder had just exchanged views with Stephen and finally decided to withdraw from the fight.The strength of the Chinese navy is too strong, and without the support of the navy, the army will simply not be able to move an inch, and it will not even have basic logistical support."
Sneijder, if we don't work together at this time, soon the whole of Asia will be occupied by Qiao Zhiqing," Robert exclaimed with disappointment on his face."
I'm sorry, Robert.Our country will seek a new cooperative relationship with China, and I believe that Qiao Zhiqing will not refuse to establish diplomatic relations with us. ”Snead shrugged his shoulders and withdrew apologetically."
Coward, let's go, let's go."
Robert scolded angrily, but didn't take it to heart.The Netherlands sent more than 3,000 troops this time, and it doesn't matter if they all leave."
General Gordon, Captain Robert, we Italy have also decided to withdraw from this battle.""
And we Portugal, we don't fight anymore."
As soon as the Italian army commander stood up, the Portuguese army commander followed suit."
You, God, how can you all succumb to the devil's obscenity" Robert finally realized the seriousness of the matter, which was clearly about to break up."
Two generals, you have to go, and I have nothing to say, so I wish you a smooth journey."
Gordon finally got up and said goodbye, his face full of disappointment, but respecting their choice."
Thank you for your understanding, then I look forward to seeing you again in the future."
The three of them greeted each other and saluted goodbye.Only Gordon and Robert were left in the tent, as well as Pogba, the French governor in Vietnam."
The two generals, Portugal and Italy, will leave the coalition with only 20,000 British marines.According to our intelligence, Qiao Zhiqing has at least 400,000 troops, how can we not be his opponents" Pogba reminded with a worried face, the French army and navy suffered heavy casualties this time, and almost all of them were wiped out, leaving only the more than 5,000 soldiers who were stationed in Vietnam in the past."
Do you even want to give up Vietnam to Qiao Zhiqing like this," Robert snorted and glanced at Pogba coldly."
No, General, you misunderstood me.I think that now Qiao Zhiqing is in full swing, and we should avoid his edge.According to reliable information, the squadron had already broken through the Lang Son defense line yesterday.There were as many as 30,000 people, and all of them were armed with elite firearms, and Vietnam was no longer in danger.I suggest that everyone should move to a safe place, otherwise it will be like the navy, and the whole army may be wiped out. ”Pogba thought about it for a long time, but still told the two of them the latest military information."
What do you say, why is such important information only being said now" Robert rushed forward in some shock, grabbing Pogba by the collar."
Robert, let go, have some respect for the Governor" Gordon was also full of surprise, and hurriedly took out the topographical map of Vietnam and observed it.Pogba is right, once Lang Son is lost, Hanoi in Vietnam will be a flat river, and there will be no danger to defend."
Governor Pogba, do you have any good advice?"
asked Gordon in a panic.Robert also put down Pogba viciously, and quickly looked up and down in front of the topographic map."
General Gordon, don't panic, Hanoi is still a thousand miles away from here, and the squadron won't be able to come over for a while.In the past few days, I have already thought of a way out for you, that is, to give up Southeast Asia and retreat to India.We also have more than a dozen large cargo ships in Vietnam, which is enough to transfer troops to India.The current domestic situation of the Qing Dynasty is uncertain, and its tentacles must not be able to extend so far.When we have developed the latest weapons in our country, and the navy will send warships to help, it will not be too late to attack China at that time. ”Pogba earnestly advised, and no longer expects to defend the colonies in Southeast Asia."
This" Gordon frowned and fell silent, he didn't want to meddle in Asian affairs anymore, this time it was Her Majesty's personal party, so he reluctantly agreed.Now the situation in Asia is turned upside down, and the British Empire has no place here."
Robert, what's your opinion" Gordon asked the stubborn Scotsman, showing respect, in fact, he had already made a decision in his heart.Robert, although he has some Viking style, is not a fool either.The squadron came with great momentum, and on the soil of another country, without the support of the navy, it would have lost more than half.If the Chinese navy attacks from behind, it will be in a situation where it will be attacked from the belly."
Your Excellency, General, I will follow your advice in everything."
Robert also lost his confidence and didn't refute anything more."
Alright, then follow the advice of the Governor and withdraw from Southeast Asia.Send a message to the Queen of England and wait for the Queen's orders. ”Gordon nodded in agreement with Pogba, not wanting to joke with the lives of more than 20,000 British soldiers."
Then it's decided, I'll go down and get ready, and we'll leave this hellish place in three days."
Pogba nodded, replied in a deep voice, and went down to arrange for the French in Vietnam to transfer their belongings to the cargo ship."
General, are we really evacuating from East Asia without firing a single shot, just listening to this Frenchman's words" Robert looked at the topographic map, his face full of unconvinced."
Robert, I don't really need to be reminded by Pogba.Our navy has been destroyed, and our army has no logistical support and no firepower cover.If you fight hard with the squadron, you will only let the soldiers be buried in a foreign land in vain.We can only withdraw to India first, wait for British naval support, and then make plans. ”Gordon sighed, he had already been in contact with Qiao Zhiqing's army, so he didn't doubt his military strength at all."
Your Excellency General, I understand, I'll go down and get everyone ready."
Robert gave a military salute, sighed helplessly, turned around and exited the military tent.Gordon sat down in the chair weakly, and his whole body couldn't help but tremble because of the mood swings.The Nanjing Navy Military Port Navy opened the port today because there were too many onlookers on the shore.Huang Wenzhong personally escorted four foreign warships, and after three days and nights of sailing, they finally arrived at the port of Nanjing."
Welcome, welcome, welcome home," "Long live the Chinese Navy," "President Qiao's foreign year," "There are crowds of people outside Nanjing, and warships along the river have been warmly welcomed by the people in almost every port."
After the Central Daily published the good news of the South China Sea, all the prefectures and counties in the south of the Yangtze River reprinted and printed it almost on the same day.The people's feelings for New China were unprecedentedly high, and all of them spontaneously organized themselves and gathered around the shore to express their blessings.The major academies in Nanjing City have a special day off, and the students are always at the forefront of patriotism, all chanting slogans and cheering on the riverbank with banners.All the people have really benefited, whether it is in life or spiritually, they have been satisfied from the bottom of their hearts, and they have consciously linked their own interests with New China.It was by no means that the foreigners invaded the Yangtze River at the beginning, and the people still rushed to watch the excitement on the riverside.The country does not know that there is a people, and the people do not know that there is a country.Only when the country works for the welfare of the people will the people take the country in their hearts.Huang Wenzhong stood on the deck and waved to the people on the shore again and again, this kind of scene of fish and water blending, he experienced it for the first time.At this moment, his heart was steady.It was as if the tiredness of many days had vanished, and the whole body was full of strength.At this moment, he is no longer fighting for any interest group, but to protect the millions of people behind him.Flags fly on the pier.Qiao Zhiqing personally led the newly established Chinese honor guard to solemnly welcome Huang Wenzhong's triumphant return on the pier.As soon as the ship came to shore, twenty-four salutes of the highest rank were fired one after another.Hundreds of military bands wearing military uniforms and holding foreign horns also began to play the military songs of the Huaxing Army."
Report to the marshal, Navy Commander Huang Wenzhong has successfully completed the task, please instruct" Huang Wenzhong got off the ship, hurriedly stepped forward, and saluted Qiao Zhiqing with a straight waist, his face was radiant."
Commander Huang, welcome home."
Qiao Zhiqing chuckled and returned a military salute, stepped forward to the officers and soldiers accompanying the ship, and shouted loudly, "Soldiers, welcome home, I am proud of you." ”"Long live Huaxingjun", "Long live President Qiao", "I don't know who took the lead in shouting, and the crowd of onlookers on the shore all hissed excitedly.The sonic boom Changhong, swallowing mountains and rivers
