Two John Bull Emperor ships that were performing normal patrol duties were hit, which made these ghost guys feel quite sudden. To read the latest chapter of this book, please go to Baidu search: 1 Novel Network gave them the first feeling that they had hit the rocks, Chapter 1
The second feeling is that the ammunition depot of the warship exploded, and immediately they wanted to escape. This resulted in the fact that the damage control on the ship was not in place and the crew members fled on their own.
Hiding far under the sea, he used a periscope to observe that the target he ambushed was quickly sunk. After learning of his final victory, Tian Aijun and the others quietly sneaked into the Dragon Palace and left the sea area where the incident occurred silently.
Playing the song of victory, they advanced towards Suez.
At the end of May, the Chinese Imperial Government received a diplomatic letter from the John Bull Empire handed over by John Bull's ambassador to the Empire. The marked recipient of this diplomatic letter was Imperial Prime Minister Chen Xiru, and the issuing institution of the letter was also the Prime Minister of the John Bull Empire.
Mansion.
Its content is similar to the information reported by the Shenlong to Zhou Yu, which is to invite the Chinese Empire to join the Allied Alliance again, but the conditions proposed are not generous, and can even be said to be harsh. The so-called interests of the Chinese Empire mentioned in it,
These are all self-interests that the Chinese Empire already possesses.
Zhou Yu felt that the emboldened John Bull Empire, probably with the support of Uncle Sam's country, did not want to give up too many benefits to the Chinese Empire. In this regard, the answer after discussion between Zhou Yu and Chen Xiru was to delay until
The Imperial European ships successfully entered the Pacific Ocean, and it was not too late to decline the offer.
In early June, several John Bull Empire cruise ships and Uncle Sam Cruise ships were sunk by German Empire submarines in the waters off the coast of Ireland. This resulted in thousands of casualties. Among them were Uncle Sam citizens.
The death toll reached more than 600 people.
But the fact is that these cruise ships are indeed loaded with large amounts of military supplies that the German Empire openly declares to be prohibited. For this reason, the German Empire even produced accurate intelligence photos of these cruise ships loading military supplies at the dock. These photos are clearly visible.
, which cannot be denied at all!
So far, the German Empire's submarines have sunk at least hundreds of ships in total. The shipping volume of neutral countries in the Eastern Atlantic and North Sea has dropped by more than 75%. The number of ships sunk has increased significantly.
This is partly because the newly built submarines can carry twice as many torpedoes.
On the other hand, the offensive tactics of the Royal Navy of the John Bull Empire were rigid. Offensive patrol ships were sent out to clear the main channel. The submarines of the German Empire were lurking in the waters on the edge of the main channel, waiting for the patrol boats to pass by, and then pounced quietly.
attack their prey.
The main solution to eliminate the threat of submarines is to gather a large number of ships into a formation and carry out armed naval escort. Another method is to load naval guns or torpedoes on freighters and use these camouflaged freighters to ambush German Imperial submarines.
That is, in early June, the John Bull Empire announced that it would begin using naval armed escorts. It also issued a worldwide announcement saying: "The Allies will add a new partner. In addition, the Strait of Gibraltar, Suez Canal, Strait of Hormuz and
The Strait of Malacca will be closed to ships other than the Allied Powers!"
At the same time, on the podium of the Senate in the capital of Uncle Sam's country, the country's President Wilson looked serious and solemn. Outside the country's Capitol building, layers of Uncle Sam people held high their hands, big and small.
The stars-and-stripes flag shouted slogans to declare war and overthrow the German Empire.
In addition to the congressmen present under the podium, there are reporters from all parties who have accepted invitations. The spotlights are flashing constantly, faithfully recording the expressions of the president and congressmen at this moment, and they will be recorded in history forever. In the hall
Except for the "click" sound of the camera shutter, there was almost no sound.
Recently, a large number of Uncle Sam's ships were "innocently" sunk by German Imperial submarines, which in turn led to calls for war, completely surpassing the conservatives' argument not to participate in the war. Recently, under the deliberate manipulation of some thoughtful people,
Uncle Sam guided domestic public opinion and unanimously declared war with one voice!….
Not only newspapers and magazines are venting dissatisfaction, but even in relatively mild demonstrations among the people, more radical hatred of Germans continues to ferment, and eventually develops into smashing, smashing, and robbing the property of Germans, and leading to small-scale racial riots.
A conflict occurred...
All these situations happening in Uncle Sam's country make the world feel that Uncle Sam's country is not the so-called democratic and free country they say, but a naked country that says one thing and does another. This makes the foreigners even more confused.
Feeling unsafe in Uncle Sam’s country!
The president on the stage spoke rigorously, his tone was solemn, and he looked sadly at the countless microphones on the podium and said in a deep voice: "Ladies...gentlemen...recently...continuously...great...
The reputation of Uncle Sam's country...has been tarnished like never before!";
"On the other side of the Atlantic, the German Empire is recklessly insulting our country's reputation, and even more wantonly attacking our ships. This is a unique insult and trample on our country that advocates freedom and democracy. More
It is a deep crime against our citizens!"
When he finished speaking, his speech speed and movements were quite bold and powerful, and his right hand was raised high, as if he was infecting everyone.
"I have been hesitant between defending the dignity of the country, protecting the lives and property of citizens, and compromising with independence. But I believe that we should bravely face power, shoulder our due responsibilities, and maintain the peace of mankind.
Peace and freedom are the foundation of our country, which requires us to stand up and say no to the dictators!"
At 10 o'clock in the morning on June 6, Uncle Sam's two houses of Congress once again passed the Army expansion bill, increasing the total number of Army personnel from more than 1 million to 2 million! In the afternoon, President Wilson of Uncle Sam's country received the overwhelming majority.
With the support of the majority of members of the parliament, war was declared on the German Empire!
The next day, when the news reached the Chinese Empire, the Chinese Empire also held a special press conference on the matter. At the reception, Zhou Yu, the founding emperor of the Chinese Empire, appeared in people's sight for the first time and was therefore
Reporters raised questions on this matter.
Zhou Yu said: "As a country that claims to be free and democratic, it is committed to creating conflicts and declaring war on a country far away in Europe. This in itself is a retrogression of civilization and a crime against the history of human civilization. I hope
Uncle Sam always takes back his declaration of war!";
"People who love peace know that an unprecedented war is taking place on the European continent at this time, which has brought serious disasters to the European people. But this is a matter for Europeans, and the war is limited to Europe, but Uncle Sam
With the participation of other countries, it escalated into a world war!";
"In its declaration, it was extremely rude to call the German Empire an independent government. I think this is very unreasonable. According to the different national conditions of each country and region, people have the right to choose a political system that suits their country's conditions.
Isn't using this as an excuse a gross violation of human rights?!";
"Speaking of this, I have to mention the founding spirit of Uncle Sam's country, which is democratic and free. But today's Uncle Sam administration is completely contrary to it! Because their rulers are the same as those so-called upper classes.
All families share the same fate.";
"They profit from inflation and the misfortune of the vast majority of people. They are blood-suckers who are attached to the ordinary working people!"
"Uncle Sam not only interfered violently in the political situation of Europe, but also extended his tentacles to Europe. This cannot but arouse the attention of this country!"
Another reporter asked Zhou Yu, what are his thoughts on the European War? In addition, in today's world, since Uncle Sam's country declared war, the only major country in the world that has not participated in the war is the Chinese Empire! The reporter asked Zhou Yu whether any of the Chinese Empire participated in the war.
Intend?
Zhou Yu did not answer the reporter’s questions directly, but expressed his thoughts indirectly!….
He said: "Our Chinese Empire is known as a country of etiquette. That is because of the essence of China's five thousand years of etiquette. As the descendants of Long, we get along with others and do good first. And this "goodness" comes from
Inner sincerity is sincerity in the inside and outward appearance, rather than rhetoric and formal red tape."
"What is different from us is that those so-called democratic countries first incite war, then confuse right and wrong, and then cover themselves up shamefully with the hypocrisy of benevolent people. They also use unfounded charges to impose on other sovereign governments.
, to show his so-called savior’s face!”
"Then for the benefit of the 'Ten Thousand Families' of their domestic conglomerates, they slowly and surely lead mankind into war. But they swear and swear to ask God to prove how justified they are in attacking others. According to the slang of our Chinese Empire
, they are ‘wanting to be a prince and also want to erect a memorial arch’!”
"Since the outbreak of the European War more than two years ago, the German Empire has maintained good relations with countries in other regions of the world, including our country, for the sake of the security of the international community and to prevent the unlimited expansion of the war."
"In the recent period, the German Empire has repeatedly reiterated its request to third countries to stop selling prohibited military supplies to John Bull. For the sake of the friendship between the German Empire and our country, our country has categorically stopped arms sales to Europe. This is what our country sincerely says
Sincerity!”
"But some countries are even more rampant, transporting military supplies to Europe, and constantly provoking the bottom line of the German Empire. They have even developed to the point where civilian merchant ships are used to transport military supplies." (To be continued...)
