    "Victory! A great naval victory, annihilating the combined fleets of Britain, France and Russia!" A large number of soldiers, riding horses or driving cars, galloped through the streets of Beijing, telling all the citizens this great news.

    "Victory? The navy won?" Many citizens were stunned after hearing the news, but after repeated confirmation, they immediately cheered.  In less than an hour, the entire city of Beijing became a sea of ??joy.  Everyone has been suppressing this for a long time. When they heard that Britain, France and Russia had mobilized a huge fleet of hundreds of ships to form a joint fleet to expedition to China, almost the entire country felt tremendous pressure.  Despite the land war, the Chinese troops won successive victories.  But everyone knows that this naval battle is the decisive battle in this war.  Everyone hoped that the Imperial Navy would be victorious, but feared that this was a far-fetched hope.  After all, the opponent is too powerful.

    Now, I finally heard the news of victory, and all the pressure has disappeared.  Many people even set off firecrackers, as happy as if they were celebrating the New Year.  Although the children didn't know what was happening, since the adults were cheering, they naturally cheered too.  Students in Beijing immediately organized a parade to celebrate the victory of the Imperial Navy.

    At the same time, the telegraph office in Beijing also became busy, sending news of the Imperial Navy's victory to all parts of the country.  That night, the whole of China was ignited with enthusiasm by the news of the navy's victory, as if it was boiling.

    The emperor Wang Yuze also gave a speech in the square in front of the palace.  Tens of thousands of Beijing citizens spontaneously knelt in the square in front of the palace to listen to the edict.

    "The soldiers of the empire finally won the victory after a bloody battle. On land, in Siberia, the army had achieved a decisive victory, and Russia had no power to fight back. At sea, the imperial navy sank the enemy at a small cost.  Nineteen enemy battleships were captured and 10 battleships were captured. Of the hundreds of battleships from Britain, France and Russia, except for a few that escaped, the rest were all annihilated. The Imperial Navy also achieved a decisive victory for the empire. In this  In this war, the Empire has been in an invincible position. This victory belongs to the Imperial Army, but also to the people of the Empire. Without your support, the Imperial Army would not have achieved such a victory. From now on  After that, the empire will truly become a world power, and the future of the empire will be even better! I promise you that from now on, everyone's life will definitely get better and better, and everyone will enjoy the benefits that the empire will bring when it becomes stronger.  The benefits. In the end, I am with you! The empire is with you!" Emperor Wang Yuze preached loudly.  The loudspeaker carried his voice to every corner of the square.

    "Long live the emperor! Long live the empire!" The people shouted loudly.  Afterwards, the entire city of Beijing fell into a carnival that lasted until late at night.  The passion in people's bodies seems to be endless.

    The next day, the major newspapers in the empire.  They also reported extensively on the victory of the Imperial Navy, and pointed out that the Empire was close to winning this war.  Not far away.

    Unlike China celebrating its victory, other countries fell into panic. The news that the Chinese navy won the South China Sea naval battle has spread throughout the world in a short period of time.  Almost all countries were stunned. They never thought that the Chinese navy could win in the face of such a powerful combined fleet composed of Britain, France and Russia.  Still won at a small cost.  At the same time, everyone also knows that the situation in the world has changed.  China's victory in this war is already a certainty.  China will truly become one of the world's powerful countries, and no country in the entire Far East and Pacific region can challenge China's hegemony.

    Russia can be said to be the earliest country to win a naval battle with the Chinese Navy.  At that time, when the Russian Navy Marshal Alexandrovich surrendered, he sent a telegram to Tsar Nicholas II.  At that time, it was exactly 12 noon in Moscow time, and Tsar Nicholas II was having lunch with Queen Alexandra Feodorovna.  During lunch, Nicholas II proudly told Queen Alexandra Feodorovna that today the Russian Navy will achieve a huge victory for Russia, and all the difficulties that Russia is facing now will be solved.  Changed because of this victory.

    At this time, Russian Prime Minister Sergei Vitte and Navy Minister Grand Duke Constantine asked for an audience.  Nicholas II was very dissatisfied with his meal being interrupted, but seeing the serious faces of the Prime Minister and the Minister of the Navy, he suddenly had a bad feeling in his heart.  So Nicholas II ignored his meal and went to his study with the Prime Minister and the Minister of the Navy.

    "Dear Prime Minister, Lord Admiralty, what news do you bring me? It can't be bad news, right?" Tsar Nicholas IIHe said with a smile, but he was smiling, and his eyes were radiating a stern light like an eagle.

    Cold sweat broke out involuntarily on the foreheads of Prime Minister Sergei Vitte and Navy Minister Archduke Constantine.  Because the news they brought was indeed not good news, but terrible bad news.

    "Your Majesty, I have just received a telegram from Grand Duke Alexandrovich, Marshal of the Navy!" Prime Minister Sergei Vitte said bravely.

    "What did Grand Duke Alexandrovich say in the telegram? Judging from this time, the naval battle should be almost over!" Tsar Nicholas II said.

    "Your Majesty, Grand Duke Alexandrovich had already surrendered to the Chinese Navy when he sent the telegram back!" Prime Minister Sergei Vitte said.  He lowered his head, preparing to bear the wrath of His Majesty the Tsar.

    "What? He surrendered? He led my most powerful navy and surrendered to the Chinese?" Tsar Nicholas II suddenly stood up from his chair and stared at Sergei Vitte fiercely.  and Grand Duke Constantine.

    "Tell me, what is going on?" Although it is summer now, the voice of Tsar Nicholas II is as cold as winter.

    "Your Majesty, this is it. The Combined Fleet encountered the Chinese Navy this morning. The Chinese sent submarines to attack the Combined Fleet. The unprepared Combined Fleet suffered heavy losses. During the attack by the Chinese submarines, there were a total of 7 battleships.  were sunk, and two were severely damaged. The Imperial Navy's battleships 'Alexander II', 'Peter the Great' and 'Gangut' were sunk, and the battleship 'Great Hisoka' was severely damaged. After that  , the main battleships of the Chinese Navy rushed to the battlefield. Although the number of Chinese battleships was small, they were all powerful new battleships. After a bitter battle, the combined fleet was defeated. Later, the British Navy abandoned the Imperial Navy and escaped alone. And Asia  Grand Duke Alexandrovich only had four old battleships at this time and was no match for the Chinese. After being overtaken by the Chinese navy, in order to preserve the seeds of the imperial navy, he chose to surrender to the Chinese!" Minister of the Navy  Archduke Constantine said.

    "Damn the British, how could they be so despicable and shameless, they actually abandoned the Imperial Navy and escaped alone when the war was not going well!" Tsar Nicholas II said angrily.

    It took a while before Tsar Nicholas II finished venting his anger.  However, now that the matter has come to this, he has no other option.  As the Russian Emperor, what he has to do now is how to deal with the current situation.

    "The navy failed, what should we do now?" Nicholas II said gloomily.  Originally, it was expected that the navy could defeat the Chinese army and reverse the situation of the war.  Now that the Navy has failed, the Army's crisis will not be alleviated at all.

    "Your Majesty, since the navy cannot win, it is time to consider ending this war! The empire's national power has been exhausted. If the war continues, the empire will collapse." Prime Minister Sergei Witte suggested.  Tsar Nicholas II ordered heavy taxes on the rich and nobles, which had caused dissatisfaction among many people.  The reason why it hasn't broken out yet is that everyone is waiting to see how the battle will unfold.  If Russia loses on the battlefield, these contradictions will explode.  At that time, the whole of Russia will collapse.

    "End the war? Even if we are willing to end the war, will the Chinese agree? Don't forget, they have now occupied nearly half of the empire's territory. The empire's territory was all won by our ancestors. I will not give up an inch of the land.  Yes!" Tsar Nicholas II said firmly.  The monarchs of the Romanov dynasty all had a visceral greed for land. It was impossible for them to give up the land.

    Prime Minister Sergei Vitte opened his mouth, but he didn¡¯t know what to say!  Russia is on the verge of defeat. If she wants to end the war, she will have to pay a heavy price.  But the Tsar's current attitude makes it impossible for him to compromise with China.  Therefore, ending the war seems to have become a delusion.  And can Russia continue to fight?  Sergey Witte could hardly imagine what the consequences would be!

    The British navy and the French navy, which sent their navies to join the combined fleet, also received telegrams from the Far East after their defeated troops fled the battlefield.  News of the defeat quickly spread across the two countries.  Suddenly, the governments of both countries became targets of attack by the common people.  Because of the naval defeat, both the British and French governments were in turmoil.  There is even a danger of collapse!  To be continued.  If you like this work, you are welcome to come to Qidian () to vote for recommendations and monthly votes.
