    After all, Sir Frederick William Richards, Chief of Staff of the Combined Fleet of Britain, France and Russia, was still unable to stop the order of Sir Algernon MacLennan Lyons, Commander of the Combined Fleet, although both of them were members of the British Navy.  Marshal, however, the commander of the fleet is now Sir Algernon MacLennan Lyons, and he has the final say over the entire fleet.

    Under the command of Sir Algernon MacLennan Lyons, Commander of the Combined Fleet, the battleships 'Bafleur', 'Nile', 'Trafalgar', and 'Mars' were  The battleship "Caesar", escorted by several cruisers and destroyers, entered the Singapore Strait, preparing to execute the order to destroy Singapore.  Although many of them were disgusted with this order, they were proud British people, and now they were asked to fire on civilians, which they could not accept.  However, obeying orders is the bounden duty of soldiers, and they can only follow the orders of Sir Algernon MacLennan Lyons, Commander of the Combined Fleet.

    "What do these British people want to do?" On the Russian battleship Petropavlovsk', the Russian Navy Marshal Alexandrovich, who served as the deputy commander of the combined fleet, asked doubtfully.  According to the previous plan, after leaving the Strait of Malacca, they should immediately head north and launch an attack on the Chinese mainland.  But now, the British Navy has sent warships into the Singapore Strait.

    Soon, Grand Duke Alexandrovich knew the order issued by Sir Algernon MacLennan Lyons, commander of the Combined Fleet.

    "Haha! Although I don't like the old guy Sir Algernon MacLennan Lyons, his order is good. It's time to teach those yellow-skinned monkeys a lesson!" Alex  Grand Duke Sandrovich laughed.  During the war, hundreds of thousands of people in Russia had been annihilated by the Chinese Army. In the process, many civilians were killed, which had long made him feel suffocated.  Now the British are going to take action on those people in Singapore, and of course he is very happy to see it.  However, massacring civilians is not a good reputation. Since the British are willing to do this, it is naturally the best.  Grand Duke Alexandrovich completely acted as a spectator. Anyway, even if something happened, it would have nothing to do with him.

    At this time, Singapore was already under the control of the Chinese army.  After the British Governor of the Straits Settlements, John Swettenham, surrendered, the British troops in the entire Straits Settlements stopped resisting, and the Chinese troops occupied Singapore without bloodshed.  In just over a month, Singapore has returned to its former prosperity.  As a traffic artery, the Strait of Malacca was very busy even during the war.  This gives Singapore great opportunities for development.  Especially after the Chinese Communist Party occupied Singapore, the status of the Chinese has been greatly improved, and their lives have also undergone earth-shaking changes.

    "The combined fleets of Britain, France and Russia have passed through the Strait of Malacca. It seems that they have no intention of attacking Singapore!" Lin Yi, who has served as the mayor of Singapore, said in the Governor's Palace in Singapore.  The Lin family has a high reputation in Singapore and even the entire Nanyang region.  Therefore, the imperial government simply ordered Lin Yi, the eldest son of the Lin family, to serve as the first mayor of Singapore.  However, Singapore is still under military control. Brigadier General Wu Haibin, commander of the 5th Brigade of the Chinese Marine Corps, is Singapore's top officer.  Mayor Lin Yi is currently only responsible for civil affairs.

    "How are the people in the city being evacuated?" Brigadier General Wu Haibin asked.  After the British navy entered the Andaman Sea, Singapore had already begun to evacuate its people. No one knew whether the British, French and Russian combined fleets would frantically attack Singapore.  Even if the British, French and Russian combined fleets do not send troops to land in Singapore, they can still blow Singapore into ruins with the main guns of the battleships.

    "Well, General Wu, most of the people in the city cannot leave Singapore. So far, only one-third of the people have left Singapore, and the rest still refuse to leave!" Mayor Lin Yi said somewhat sarcastically.  .  Evacuating the Chinese people in Singapore was his first important task after taking office as mayor, but he was not able to complete it well, which made him feel a little embarrassed.

    "No, send people immediately to mobilize the people and make sure they evacuate. No one can guarantee whether the British, French and Russian combined fleets will attack Singapore!" Brigadier General Wu Haibin said with a frown.

    "General Wu, didn't you say that the British, French and Russian combined fleets have left the Strait of Malacca? They should not attack Singapore! If we let the people leave Singapore, it will be a waste of people and money!" Lin Yi said, he felt that it was a bit unnecessary.

    "No! The order must be carried out. Don't be afraid of ten thousand, just be afraid of the worst. If these foreigners don't have good intentions, it will be over by then!" Brigadier General Wu Haibin said firmly.

    Lin Yi moved his mouth, but in the end he didn¡¯t say much. However, his eyes?There was still a flash of dissatisfaction.

    At this time, Lieutenant Colonel Lin Zixiang of the Military Intelligence Bureau walked in with a nervous look. He has now become the top person in charge of the Military Intelligence Bureau in the Malacca Strait and the Nanyang region to the south.  The promotion order will come out soon, and he will be promoted from colonel to colonel then.

    "General, Mayor! The British, French and Russian combined fleets are not leaving outside the strait. Moreover, several battleships are heading into the Singapore Strait. I'm afraid they are coming with bad intentions!" Lieutenant Colonel Lin Zixiang said.

    "What? These hateful foreign devils, they really want to attack Singapore! Hurry, let the people in the city evacuate immediately, otherwise it will be too late!" Brigadier General Wu Haibin said angrily.

    "Yes, yes! I'll make arrangements right away!" Ji Yi's forehead began to sweat, and he quickly went down to make arrangements.  If the British, French and Russian combined fleet bombarded Singapore, the people in the city would definitely suffer heavy casualties.  By then, he, Lin Yi, will become the sinner of the entire Singapore.

    Soon, news was released that the British, French and Russian combined fleets were going to bombard Singapore.  A large number of Chinese and Malayan indigenous residents packed up their belongings and began to evacuate Singapore with their wives, children, and children.  In the past, many people were unwilling to evacuate, thinking that foreigners would not take out their anger on civilians like them.  After all, a golden nest or a silver nest is not as good as your own doghouse, and no one is willing to leave their home.  But now there is no way. The foreign warships have already moved in. If they don't leave, they will be dead.

    Singapore¡¯s population is not large, with only a few hundred thousand people. Except for tens of thousands of Chinese, most of them are local Malayan indigenous people.  However, when people were first mobilized to evacuate Singapore, less than one-third of the people responded, and the indigenous Malayans ignored it.  Now, all the remaining people are rushing to the north of Singapore, causing congestion on the roads for a while.  In order to survive, everyone rushed to get into the crowd, which inevitably caused road congestion and even a stampede.  Especially the Malayan natives, relying on their strength in numbers, squeezed the Chinese into half.

    "What the hell, these aborigines are looking for death!" Soldiers from the 5th Marine Brigade are stationed on Singapore's traffic arteries.  These actions of the Malayan natives aroused their anger.

    "Bang! Bang! Bang!" Several gunshots rang out, and several arrogant Malayan natives fell to the ground.  The crowd that was pushing outside suddenly stopped, as if time had stopped.

    "So all the Malayans, go to the roadside, and the Chinese go first!" a Marine Corps company commander said loudly.

    "Why? The foreigners are about to come and kill us, and we don't want to die!" Those Malayan indigenous people were dissatisfied and crowded outside one after another, ignoring the orders of the Chinese Marine Corps officers.

    "If you don't know what is good or bad, fire!" the Marine Corps company commander ordered.

    "Ta-ta-ta!" Suddenly, the machine gun set up at the intersection opened fire, and all the Malayan natives blocking the front fell to the ground in rows.

    At this moment, the Malayan natives all screamed and stepped aside. Their eyes looked at the Chinese Marines, full of hatred, but they did not dare to take the next step.

    The Chinese in Singapore took the opportunity to evacuate Singapore quickly.  But, it's still too late.  The battleships dispatched by the British, French and Russian combined fleets have arrived off the coast of Singapore.

    "Boom! Boom!" The battleships 'Bafleur', 'Nile', 'Trafalgar', 'Mars' and 'Caesar', these five battleships, attacked Singapore  The bombardment began.  They stayed on the sea ten kilometers away from Singapore, constantly pouring artillery fire.  The place where the shelling took place was not the fortress of Singapore, but the urban area.

    The 305mm caliber naval gun is very powerful. When firing high-explosive bombs, one shot will often create a deep pit with a diameter of tens of meters, and everything within a radius of two to three hundred meters will be destroyed.  Whether it was houses or trees, all were blown up, and there was no chance of people or other creatures surviving.

    Under the fierce bombardment of the British Navy's battleships, the entire Singapore became a sea of ????fire.  Residents of the city and soldiers of the 5th Marine Brigade looked for shelter.  Marine Corps soldiers, large units are concentrated in the Singapore Fortress.  The strong fortress was not attacked by British naval battleships, and the losses were not great.  But the civilians in the city suffered heavy casualties.  The bombardment lasted for a full hour, and Singapore was completely destroyed. It was like a hell on earth!  (To be continued. Please search Piaotian Literature, the novels will be better and updated faster!)
