    Slogans such as "Down with the British!" "Severely punish the executioners!" "Blood debt must be paid with blood!" quickly spread across the country.  After the atrocities committed by the British fleet in Singapore were announced, the entire country was agitated. Countless students, workers and scholars participated in the parade, demanding that the imperial government and army must avenge the deaths of their compatriots.

    Students in Beijing even organized a petition to the imperial palace. They wrote proclamations with blood and loudly preached to the passing people, calling on the people of the country to unite to support the empire's ongoing war, defeat the Western powers, and avenge the dead compatriots.  .

    That afternoon, Wang Yuze personally came forward to appease these radical students.  Wang Yuze said that the imperial government and army would never let these executioners go.  Whether it was Sir Algernon MacLennan Lyons, the commander of the British, French and Russian fleets who issued the order, or the battleships 'Bafleur', 'Nile' and 'Trafalgar' which carried out the mission  The officers and soldiers on the battleship, the battleship Mars and the battleship Caesar will all be held accountable. The Imperial Navy will defeat them in a decisive battle. All British people who are lucky enough to escape death will be sent to military courts for trial.  trial.  The empire will definitely avenge the people who died!

    Wang Yuze was very satisfied with the people's response.  During the Manchu and Qing Dynasties, the Chinese people had become numb under the double oppression of the Manchu and Qing foreigners.  But now, after the establishment of the empire, through a series of victories in foreign wars and economic development, the people of the empire have lived a good life that is many times better than that during the Manchu Qing Dynasty. The national pride and self-confidence are in their blood.  Heart.  Was inspired again.  China.  The former Heavenly Kingdom.  Once again, the people of the empire recognized it from the bottom of their hearts.  Although, the Chinese in Nanyang were previously considered to be abandoned by the Celestial Empire.  But now, under the propaganda of the empire, these Chinese have been regarded as compatriots by everyone.  How could the people of the empire not be angry when their compatriots were brutally massacred?

    In addition, there are data on tens of thousands of Chinese who died.  Obviously exaggerated.  When the imperial government publicized to the outside world, it included the Malayan natives.  Otherwise, if only thousands of people died, how could it cause such a big shock?

    Minister of the Navy Zhang Cheng also publicly stated to the public that the Imperial Navy is ready for battle and will definitely defeat the combined fleets of Britain, France and Russia in this decisive battle and avenge the dead compatriots.

    The Imperial Navy, which had already gone to sea, also learned the news.  This made the officers and soldiers of the local fleet all excited.  Everyone cursed the British navy fiercely, and they were angry.  In battle, he can naturally bring out all his combat power.

    With reports from reporters from various countries, the news that the British fleet massacred tens of thousands of civilians in Singapore spread throughout the world in an instant.  The news made headlines in many countries.  In particular, countries that are traditionally friendly to China, such as Germany and Austria-Hungary, have vigorously criticized the British Navy's approach.  You know, before, the British promoted their gentlemanly demeanor all over the world, but now, they have committed massacres of civilians, which immediately caused their image in the world to collapse.

    Even within the UK, there was great dissatisfaction with this, believing that the order issued by the Commander of the Combined Fleet, Sir Algernon MacLennan Lyons, was completely illegal and should be tried by a military court.  The British Prime Minister, the Marquess of Salisbury, was also frequently questioned, which made him very angry.  Had Lord Walter Kerr, Lord Admiralty of the Admiralty, not pointed out that the decisive battle was about to begin now, and the temporary replacement of Sir Algernon MacLennan Lyons would have a great impact on the morale of the fleet, Salisbury would have  The Marquis of Lee really wanted to remove Sir Algernon MacLennan Lyons from his post as Commander of the Combined Fleet immediately.  This does not mean that the Marquis of Salisbury really cares about the lives of Chinese people in Southeast Asia. He just wants to establish his own glorious image of justice.  In fact, in his eyes, he has never taken the lives of Chinese people seriously. If it had been other times, let alone tens of thousands, even hundreds of thousands, he would not have cared.

    However, the Marquis of Salisbury still asked the Admiralty to send a stern telegram to Sir Algernon MacLennan Lyons, reprimanding him for this behavior.  He also warned him that in the subsequent battles, such a thing would never be allowed to happen again.  In addition, it requires Sir Algernon MacLennan Lyons to win the war no matter what, otherwise, what awaits him will be a military court trial.  The implication is also very clear. If he can win the war, then everything will be easy. Not to mention killing tens of thousands of Chinese, no matter how many he kills, he will be regarded as a hero.  But if he loses the battle, then he is a sinner, and what awaits him is likely to be a life-long prison sentence, or even??The gallows.

    Under such circumstances, the decisive battle between the Chinese Navy¡¯s home fleet and the joint fleets of Britain, France and Russia will soon take place.  On June 20, the joint fleet of Britain, France, and Russia was discovered by the light cruiser "Linxia" of the Chinese Navy's Home Fleet.  And, started tracking all the way.  The combined fleet sent warships to drive away the light cruiser "Linxia", but the top speed of the "Linxia" light cruiser reached 30 knots, which was faster than the destroyers of the British, French and Russian combined fleets.  The combined fleet has absolutely nothing to do with the 'Linxia'.  In the afternoon of the same day, the light cruisers 'Hanzhong' and 'Ankang' also arrived.  Close surveillance was launched on the combined fleets of Britain, France and Russia.  The combined fleets of Britain, France and Russia, after discovering that they were unable to drive away the Chinese navy's light cruisers, just let it go.  However, this also gave these arrogant foreign devils some bad premonitions.  The light cruiser is actually faster than the destroyer. This all shows that the Chinese Navy is already ahead of the West in warship construction technology.  So, how advanced are the legendary Chinese Navy¡¯s ¡®Zhonghua-class¡¯ battleships and the subsequent, more powerful ¡®Qin-class¡¯ battleships?  Many generals of the joint fleets of Britain, France and Russia have no idea.  The only thing they can rely on is probably the numerical advantage formed by twenty-nine battleships.

    On the afternoon of June 21, the joint fleets of Britain, France and Russia arrived at Cam Ranh Bay.  The fleet continues to move north, and its target is China's North Sea.  Since the Chinese fleet did not show up to fight them during this period, they decided to force the Chinese navy to come out and fight them.  Along the way, the combined fleets of Britain, France and Russia all adopted battle formations.  The British Navy's nineteen battleships are divided into three queues.  Six of the nine "Majestic" class battleships, including "Majestic", "Noble", "Prince George", "Victory", "Jupiter", and "Hannibal" were organized into the first battleship  Squadron.  The three remaining "Majestic" class battleships, and the two "Bafleur" class battleships, including "Mars", "Caesar" and "Vita", "Bafleur" and "Hundred"  Captain', became the 2nd Battleship Squadron.  The remaining two 'Nile-class' battleships and 6 'Admiral-class' battleships include 'Nile', 'Trafalgar', 'Collingwood', 'Rodney',  'Howe', 'Camper', 'Anson' and 'Benbow' were organized into the Third Battleship Squadron. These eight battleships were all old battleships, so they were organized into a squadron.  The two ¡®Petropavlovsk-class¡¯ battleships of the Russian Navy are ¡®Petropavlovsk¡¯ and ¡®Rostislav¡¯.  The four ¡®Alexander II-class¡¯ battleships are ¡®Alexander II¡¯, ¡®Gangut¡¯, ¡®Three Saints¡¯, and ¡®Great Siiso¡¯.  Formed into the Fourth Battleship Squadron.  The remaining four 'Ekaterina II' class battleships are 'Peter the Great', 'Ekaterina II', and 'Georgi Pobedonosec'  and 'Sinop', were organized into the Fifth Battleship Squadron.  Ten armored cruisers, five armored cruisers of the British Navy, formed the 1st Armored Cruiser Squadron.  Five armored cruisers of the French Navy, organized into the 2nd Armored Cruiser Squadron.

    During the march, the battleship was at the center, with armored cruisers on the outside, destroyers on the outside, and light cruisers on the outside.  Hundreds of warships formed an extremely large fleet, sailing toward the north in a mighty manner.  Anyone who sees such a fleet will be shocked.  This is also the reason why the officers and soldiers of the joint fleet of Britain, France and Russia firmly believe that they can win.

    According to the speed of the British, French and Russian combined fleets, on the morning of June 22, they will appear in the waters west of the Paracel Islands in the South China Sea. This is the sea area chosen by the Chinese base camp for the decisive battle.  The main force of the mainland fleet is already on standby in the waters north of the Paracel Islands.  The twelve Squid-class submarines of the submarine force have already ambushed in the waters.  Twelve submarines are located in an area of ??hundreds of square kilometers.  After the arrival of the British, French and Russian combined fleet, the Chinese navy's light cruisers, which have been following the British, French and Russian combined fleet, will accompany them and inform them of the specific route.  When the time comes, they will sail to the route, wait and see, waiting for the British, French and Russian combined fleets to come to their door!
