Chapter 2717: Chinese do not believe in evil

Just as the French were marching towards the English Channel in a big way, the South China Fleet Command in the UK first received the information from the carrier pigeons, and then received the news from the clippers, and immediately became tense.

It turned out that just near Brest and Cherbourg, the Chinese bribed the French to act as traitors and closely monitored the movement of the military port. When the French fleet was out, they would release carrier pigeons to Britain by releasing carrier pigeons.

There are many French people raising pigeons along the coastline to provide meat for the nobles and the people. Most of the time, they are raising pigeons. The intelligence personnel who raise the pigeons are not easy to be found, so they successfully conveyed the information of the French fleet's big attack.

It is not difficult to find legal traitors, either by spending money or by looking for Protestants in France. King Louis XIV of France was a devout Catholic and pursued the policy of "one monarch, one law, one belief". Foy mastered the intelligence agency, responded positively, suppressed paganism, supported Catholicism, was quite unfriendly to Protestants, and provoked Protestants to fight back, thinking of overthrowing their rule, so they worked hard for the Chinese!

The South China Navy has always attached great importance to the collection of intelligence. When the storm subsides, reconnaissance ships—including cruise ships and ships disguised as merchant ships and fishing boats set sail one after another. Most of them are fast ships, using large-magnification telescopes to spot the French fleet from a distance Immediately after seeing the traces, he returned to the UK at high speed to report intelligence.

Today, the main berth of the South China Fleet in the UK is the Chatham Anchorage of the British in the past. It needs to enter the mouth of the Thames River and go upstream along the side of the Medway River.

Back then, the British Grand Fleet was stationed at Chatham Anchorage, but was secretly infiltrated by the South China Fleet and destroyed.

After Britain surrendered to the South China Empire, the Chinese searched around and found that Chatham Anchorage was still fragrant. This place had a large harbor area and was close to London, making it easy to defend London. No other place was as good as it.

As for being burned in the past, it is unlucky. The Chinese say that there is no second time. If there is a second time, it is a fate, and it deserves to be finished!

The Chinese do not believe in evil, so they put the main anchorage of the fleet at Chatham. However, unlike the British fleet, the fleet headquarters and key personnel are located here. Those British nobles had to serve the king. In order to please the king, they went to the camp to flatter horses, so that they abandoned their military affairs.

The senior officers of the South China Fleet don't need to please anyone, they only need to be responsible to the emperor, and the emperor doesn't play tricks, all he needs is their loyalty and victory.

In order to ensure victory, they devote themselves wholeheartedly to military affairs. They fight in wartime, organize patrols and training in peacetime, and study and inspect defense when they stay in Hong Kong. They are strictly organized and meticulous.

The French intelligence agency sent people to the Chatham anchorage for reconnaissance, and found that it was inaccessible at all. Anyone who entered through the normal way had to hold a special pass. This pass was strictly issued and not ordinary people could get it.

If you want to sneak in secretly, don't even think about it. A French soldier who was trying to enter the Chatham anchorage by rowing a small boat was discovered when he sneaked in, and he managed to escape the pursuit. Perhaps only angels can enter!"

The Chinese have made the defense of the Chatham anchorage as strong as an iron barrel. There are natural dangers. The Thames Estuary and the Medway River have many sandbars and shoals. Only when the tide is high and the wind is favorable can they pass. If the weather is smooth and the wind is not strong enough, the warship may run aground. Moreover, the South China Navy will deploy some warships at the dock outside the anchorage to avoid being caught in a nest.

Secondly, there is a similar example. Between the mouth of the Medway River and Chatham, there is an 800-yard-long, heavy-duty Hengjiang iron chain to block the mouth of the river. Beacon towers, as well as densely packed patrol boats, relying on binoculars and searchlights, the Chinese have always been rigorous in protecting their own fleet.

Therefore, the Nanhua Fleet can rest assured that its large fleet will be stationed here. In the anchorage, there are Yan Donglai, Siresma, Zhao Tianjing, Shi Daxuan, and Xiao Changrong, a total of five admirals.

Tigers hurt people's hearts, and people have tigers' hearts!

Of course, so many outstanding generals staying at Chatham Anchorage will not gather together to play mahjong. They are waiting to fight the French. Meetings with officers above and above to analyze the enemy's situation and determine the strategy for facing the battle.

Yan Donglai emphasized two points: "One is to fight for the emperor!" "The other is to fight against the enemy!"

Fight for the emperor!

Being able to fight for the emperor is an honor and also a duty. The emperor provides everyone with excellent equipment and generous treatment. Everyone also understands the concept of being a soldier who eats food and works hard. Return to the emperor!

The South China Empire practiced military-first politics, and the treatment of the soldiers was indeed good. The political treatment of the marshal among the senior officers was not as good as that of the cabinet ministers, but the money was more than that of the cabinet ministers; the political treatment of the generals was not as good as that of the senior officials and ministers, but the money was more than that of the senior officials , the most important thing is that only soldiers can have the title, and the title can be passed on to their descendants, and they will live with the country!

Encounter the enemy must fight!

This is the glorious tradition of the Nanhua Army. In the face of a strong enemy, if you have the conditions, you must create conditions. Now, there are also negligent thoughts in the Nanhua Army. Some people really want to put the horse into the warehouse. Playing with the psychology of enjoying, but more people who dare to fight. In this atmosphere, even if whoever wants to retreat, it is not his turn to hesitate when the army swarms up.

All senior military officers expressed their opinions one by one~www.wuxiaspot.com~ No one wanted to be a turtle egg, and everyone rushed to fight first.

Yan Donglai arranged Siresma and Zhao Tianjing as the forward commander and deputy general, he and Shi Daxuan served as the central army commander and deputy general respectively, and Xiao Changrong served as the rear army commander and deputy commander respectively after joining Admiral Cheng Yu.

Siresma is a foreigner who came to China to help the war. After many years of fighting, the Chinese no longer doubt his loyalty, and he has a halo that is very helpful for morale. Therefore, he has become the former general of the army gloriously.

"Let's beat the enemy to pieces! Report victory to the emperor!" Yan Donglai stood up and shouted.

On the front wall of the meeting place, under the gaze of the large and majestic military uniform portrait of Emperor Yan Changwu, all the officers stood up and shouted in unison: "Long live the emperor, and the empire is victorious!"

The fleet sailed from Chatham anchorage, down the river, and finally entered the mouth of the Thames.

After being notified, battleships and other warships set sail at anchorages in various ports also joined the fleet in an endless stream, and finally formed a huge fleet with 84 battleships! 2084/10099639
