Alchemy Greater China

The main breakthrough also chose Long Hao's "old nest": the Arctic Circle Islands.

Of course, this plan is top secret and will not be known to the public.

What the public knows is that the British Indian Ocean Fleet made a sudden move, entered the South China Sea with a high profile, and pulled out several idle Spanish colonies in the first battle, knocking mountains and shaking tigers, and winning the first battle.

On February 27th, the news of the British fleet entering the South China Sea reached Long Hao's ears. For a moment, the whole country was shocked.

To be honest, Long Hao was also a little startled. Although it was expected to start a war, but... are the British really not afraid of the threat of submarines?

How dare you send such a huge fleet over openly to seek revenge?

Could it be that there is a surefire way to deal with submarines?

For the sake of safety, Long Hao ordered to suspend the freighter transportation on the Pacific route between China and the United States, and the ore transportation fleet from Australia to Xiajia also died down, entering the harbor and waiting for a while.

At the same time, the Alchemy Kingdom's navy was mobilized, with a total of 180 or eight submarines, starting from Xiajia and heading towards the South China Sea.

The news of the British invasion not only caught Long Hao's party by surprise, but also caused panic in Shanghai!

The British are seeking revenge!

Except for the Austro-Hungarian Empire, the other great powers that had benefited from the tariff distribution meeting panicked and found Liu Kunyi and Princess Ashley one after another, asking for countermeasures in a hurry.

What else can be done?

Liu Kunyi reluctantly announced that the city of Shanghai has entered a state of temporary management during wartime, and the rebuilt Nanyang Navy and the fleet of the Austro-Hungarian Empire (mainly submarines).Leave Shanghai Port and head south.

One is to detect the enemy's situation, and the other is to arrange defense lines.In order to wait for Long Hao's reinforcements to arrive.

Things in the world are like this, some people are worried while others are happy. The "Pan Pacific Line of Defense" that Long Hao has been running for less than three months is about to be smashed by the British Armada like a hammer. The White House of the United States is naturally full of joy , the President and the Secretary of State celebrate with each other, just like celebrating Christmas.

Although the United States is blocked from entering the Pacific Ocean, it cannot directly send warships to help.But they also did the best they could.

During the three weeks from the end of February to the beginning of March, all the newspapers in the eastern United States were reporting the British attack on Long Hao, frantically propagating the rumor that the Alchemy Kingdom would soon be destroyed.

Earl plate stock.It stopped rising and turned to falling. Although Long Hao has repeatedly created miracles before, the number of people selling is still increasing...

The U.S. Ministry of Defense was also unambiguous, and sent a telegram to Gu Xiangyun who was stationed at the port of Seattle.Ask him to wait for the opportunity to dispatch.Trying to give Long Hao a punch in the back when he fights against Long Hao's fleet in England.

Of course, Gu Xiangyun didn't take this order too seriously. However, as a U.S. military officer, he also responsibly dispatched ships within [-] nautical miles from Seattle in batches and time periods. Some activities in the inner sea area can be regarded as an explanation to the military department.

To this.The military also said it was understandable, after all.The time for Gu Xiangyun to take over this mess is too short, and the military department can't replenish him with powerful warships. It is not easy for him to survive under the threat of Long Hao's forces.

In addition to ordering their newspapers to build momentum, Morgan and Rockefeller have been grinning from ear to ear recently.

There is no other reason, the war hit, the alchemy country was facing a huge crisis, and the price of gold... naturally soared in a straight line.

Long Haogu's three-month gold futures order has now lost money, and the receiver, of course, saw the opportunity and decisively followed up the Morgan and Rockefeller consortia who were chasing after him.

Taking advantage of the opportunity of the British Navy's invasion of the Far East, Morgan and Rockefeller received countless gold orders, and the total trading volume exceeded 20 billion US dollars, which almost exploded the five major exchanges in the United States!

According to common sense, trading should be stopped at this time, because the trading volume has already exceeded the control, but...how could the US government that manages the exchange let go of this golden opportunity to kill Long Hao with a single knife?

Therefore, not only did the White House not stop the billion-dollar gold gamble, but instead issued an interim bill, specifically setting aside a temporary futures exchange to be responsible for this three-month gold futures bet!

From the perspective of the United States, there is no suspense in the country of alchemy being defeated by the United Kingdom. Then, when the United States takes over Long Hao's property in the United States, it must be fast, and the British cannot take advantage of it.

(In other words, I don’t know who is picking up the bargain...)

This gold futures bet is the best platform for the United States to obtain Long Hao's "inheritance". With this as a shield, the British must be speechless.

This is like, the UK is a person who robs a house, but unexpectedly, after a long time of effort, the door is opened and the person is killed, but he is shocked to find that the deceased has already lost the house and cash to the casino.

Therefore, after a long time, the UK can only be regarded as an empty joy, gaining face and losing face.

However, just as the whole world turned its attention to the South China Sea, the Pacific Ocean and the Southeast Asian islands, waiting for the official exchange of fire between Britain and Long Hao, the Indian Ocean Fleet suddenly became inked!

Yes, you heard that right, inkblots.

Since entering the South China Sea at the end of February, the British Indian Ocean Fleet beat Spain a few times without pain. Until March [-], they were all in the Java Sea, Banda Sea, and Sulawesi Sea of ​​the Southeast Asian archipelago. Waiting for the place to play looming, it seems that there is no intention of breaking through the Dongsha Islands, or rushing across the Maluku Strait to compete with Long Hao's fleet.

This situation can't help but surprise the outside world who are "fanning the flames and watching the excitement", wondering what kind of medicine is sold in the gourd of the Indian Ocean Fleet.

Affected by such positive effects, Earl's stocks, which had plummeted in the U.S. stock market, immediately regained momentum.

Many stockholders speculated that the British probably came here to scare people. As long as Long Hao succumbed to the words and gave King Edward enough face, the Indian Ocean Fleet would withdraw in all likelihood.

Long Hao was not as optimistic as the naive stockholders, he soon found out that something was wrong.

"This fleet. It's just a cover!"

Long Hao said so while knocking on the world map on the table at the alchemy council meeting.

"Pretend?!"

A group of generals headed by Navy Commander Zhen Convenience raised their heads and looked at Long Hao in surprise.

"That's right. It's just a cover, otherwise it can't explain why they are cruising back and forth between the South China Sea and the Southeast Asian islands, just don't cross the border!"

Long Hao's eyes were full of confidence. His hands moved on the big map, heading north from Southeast Asia, crossing the Bering Strait, and finally stopped at the Arctic Circle!

in this place.Long Hao pressed heavily with his finger: "I'm [-]% sure that this is the real target of the British Navy!"

"Is it Yuan Island?!"

All the generals and staff officers changed color again.Zhen Convenience, as the leader of the navy and one of the first-level managers of the Ministry of National Defense, raised a question on behalf of everyone: "No? If the Indian Ocean Fleet wants to attack the source island, it should have entered the Pacific Ocean through the Maluku Strait long ago. Heading north?"

"Hmph. Who said that the Indian Ocean Fleet must be the one carrying out the target? As I said, the Indian Ocean Fleet is just a cover to confuse the public!"

And a hidden fleet?hiss……

The eyeballs of Zhen Fangfang and the others followed Long Hao's fingers from west to east on the big map again, and their backs couldn't help but go numb, and each broke out in a cold sweat!

I saw Long Hao's slender fingers crossing Iceland and other places from the north of the British Isles to the route closest to the North Pole.All the way to the source island community!

"Have the Brits drawn out a fleet yet? Too, so insidious!"

Everyone is not a fool, although Long Hao didn't say anything.But the trajectory of the finger swiping has already explained everything.

"Aren't the British going to attack the Austro-Hungarian Empire in Europe? Where did they get the extra fleet?" Zhen conveniently asked.

It can be said that Lao Zhen has experienced countless hardships and trials when he took the position of naval commander.

There were Lei Long and Chen Bahu before, and Zhen Fang was elected as the new naval commander as a 'non-directed lineage', which can be said to be very rare.

Now, there are countless people looking at his position, waiting for him to make mistakes. Therefore, Zhen Convenience, who has a strong sense of crisis, worked extraordinarily hard, and gained a very in-depth understanding of the European war situation.

Zhen Fangfang believes that the UK has always been based on homeland security and the balance of the European continent. It is already the limit to send the Indian Ocean Fleet to leave India to fight.

"Hehe, Lao Zhen, your intelligence channels are limited, so it's understandable that you don't know... Lao Zheng is directly responsible for me. Now in Europe, the Austro-Hungarian Empire is almost unable to hold on. Germany's 30 troops marched from north to south. The [-] colonial troops are advancing from the south to the north, and they are attacking from both sides... Hehe, if you are unlucky, maybe at the end of this month, Vienna will be captured by the Anglo-German coalition forces!"

Long Hao lightly described the current battle situation in the European continent, but the shock he brought to Zhen Convenience and other generals had double or even triple meanings!

The first meaning is that Long Hao has shown the advantages of his intelligence channels. Regardless of whether Zheng Gongxiao will return to the Alchemy Country or not, the European SS in charge of him is always responsible to Long Hao alone.

This intelligence advantage is enough to dispel the ambitions of some people in the army.

The second meaning is that the Austro-Hungarian Empire and the Alchemy Kingdom are in an alliance, but the Austro-Hungarian Empire is about to collapse, but Long Hao is still there. This shows that Long Hao still has a trump card that no one else knows about.

The third meaning is that since Long Hao has known about the war situation in the European continent, he must have been aware of his invasion of Britain!

In other words, at the military meeting just now, he was just condescending and looked down on the performance of the spectators. What His Majesty Hao wanted was not a battle plan that could solve the crisis of the 'British Army Invasion', but to rate the generals...

Thinking of this, Zhen Convenience and other generals who were present at the meeting felt a little shuddering.

For those in high positions, apart from achieving a balance of power, the most important thing in controlling subordinates is to keep themselves mysterious at all times, so that subordinates can't find their cards.

This point, there is no doubt that Long Hao has done it perfectly!

Zhen conveniently calmed down, and asked tentatively: "Your Majesty, is this fleet... the British mainland fleet?"

The Atlantic Fleet rushed into the Mediterranean Sea and attacked Austria-Hungary from the south to the north. The remaining British maritime military force is the home fleet!

"Yes, it's the local fleet! Comprehensive intelligence has concluded that at least [-]% of the warships of this local fleet have departed from the British mainland. Now, they are estimated to have passed through the North Pole and are only a few days away from the source island group. !"

As soon as Long Hao finished his resolute words, everyone was shocked.

Only a few days left?

Then, isn't the source island group going to fall?

Don't think about it, how can those voluntary pioneers on the island be able to withstand the powerful artillery fire of the British home fleet?

Damn it, the british guy did a great trick this time to sneak into Chen Cang!

Miscalculated!

Zhen conveniently blurted out: "Then what should we do? Your Majesty, we must immediately mobilize the fleet to go north. Go meet the people on Yuan Island!"

In his heart, the Yuandao group is doomed, and how many people can escape depends entirely on luck.

"I want to go north. But it's not to meet him, but..."

Long Hao straightened up, looked around the conference room with a smile on his face: "Go and destroy this local fleet that dares to invade! We are an alchemy country. Let the overlord of this world taste our sharp minions! We want to tear off a piece of its flesh .Let it know what pain is!"

After Long Hao's extremely domineering, even insane and arrogant words, Zhen Fangyi and the following generals were surprised, but afterward, their expressions calmed down instead.

Because it's not someone else who said such 'crazy words', but Master Long who has repeatedly created impossible miracles!

The young master is so confident, so don't think about it, the British must have no good fruit to eat!

From here, we can see Long Hao's current prestige.With just one sentence, he completely reversed the atmosphere in the military meeting room.

From the previous passive defense strategy to the active attack strategy!

Fortunately, these military generals can quickly get used to this kind of big change.

This is probably based on the strong confidence in Long Hao's invincibility...

Unified thinking.Zhen Convenience then asked a practical question: "Your Majesty, it's okay for us to take the initiative to attack, but the distance from Xiajia to Yuandao is not short, so I'm afraid we won't be able to make it in time!"

The communication between Yuandao and Xiajia has always been a problem. To convey the affairs there to Xiajia, it needs to be transferred through Alaska. Often, the delay period for a message is more than seven days!

So, maybe everyone is still discussing how to take the initiative to attack the British mainland fleet, but Yuandao has already fallen!

"Don't worry about this. I have a special channel. There is nothing wrong with Yuandao at the moment, because the British home fleet needs at least two days to enter the range of Yuandao."

Two days is not enough!

Although he was stupefied at the speed with which Long Hao had obtained the information, Zhen Convenience still muttered to himself.

It's a pity that Long Hao didn't specifically answer Zhen Convenience's doubts, and only heard him say loudly: "This is the end of this meeting, everyone, the results of our discussion are very good, and the main attack direction of the British army has been determined! Next, we can be targeted! Commander Zhen, Chief of Staff Wu... the four of you, come to Kunpeng Shipyard to find me in 10 minutes, and the rest of you, return to your respective posts, and your tasks remain the same, just be on standby at any time In addition, repeating the same old tune, the content of this meeting is a Class A secret, after everyone goes out, remember to keep your mouth shut..."

After the confession, Long Hao left first, while Zhen Fangfang and the other four generals who had been ordered were refreshed, quickly put on their military caps, walked out quickly, and drove towards Kunpeng Shipyard by car.

From the old castle where the meeting was held to the Kunpeng Shipyard, if you go on foot, 10 minutes will be too late anyway.

Therefore, it was convenient for the four of them to choose to take the shuttle bus provided by dmg.

This kind of car is fast, but the bumps are heavy, and it will not be used until a critical moment!

Because once used, the shuttle will run rampant on the concrete avenue like a wild dog that has drunk liquor, meeting gods bumping into gods and Buddhas bumping into Buddhas.

Therefore, everyone knows that once this kind of shuttle, which is still in the experimental stage, is turned on, other vehicles on the road will have to give way.

If it was not necessary, the four of them would really not want to get on this 'crazy' shuttle.

Because, every time I sit on it, it is a test of the strength of my life...

Eight minutes later, the frantic shuttle bus finally stopped, and the four of them got out of the bus staggeringly, and swear to God, if it wasn't for His Majesty Hao's order from now on, they wouldn't take this shuttle bus even if they were killed!

It is simply 'reborn'!

No matter how many years older I am, I can lie in the coffin directly!

……

The Kunpeng Shipyard has changed a lot now. Because it can build the killer submarines that have become popular all over the world recently, overseas orders have continued for a month.

Although it is not an order for submarines, which is not for sale, it fully shows that as long as you have a reputation, others will come to you even if they are building small fishing boats.

With money, the new gate of Kunpeng Shipyard looks grand.

Zhen Fangfang and the others were not in the mood to admire the newly erected stalwart gate of Kunpeng Shipyard at this time. They crossed over and walked directly in, rushing to meet Long Hao.

However, to their surprise, after entering the factory, the reply they got was: His Majesty Hao came down and left again, leaving a message, asking Zhen to make it easier for them to wait for a while.

This answer made Zhen Fangfang and the others even more puzzled by Monk Zhanger. They had no choice but to rest and wait.

It's no wonder that they were puzzled by Zhen's convenience. After the turbulence of the shuttle bus, their sloshing brains returned to their original positions: His Majesty Hao is in a hurry to support the source island community in the north, so he must use a submarine!However, not to mention the main force that went out, the rest of the submarines are staying in the military port, why did they come to Kunpeng Shipyard in such a hurry?

Here...is there a newest model of submarine?

The doubts of Zhen Fangfang and the others did not last long. About half an hour later, Long Hao appeared, and with him, there were Principal Breeze and ten short-sleeved boys in plaid shorts, long socks and sneakers. inch boy. (To be continued..)
