    "The British did a really good job! They dispatched all the battleships to the Mediterranean without saying a word, keeping us all in the dark. However, it seems that their actions were not of much use.  Yeah!" Wang Yuze sighed.

    "Your Majesty, it's because the U.S. Navy's Connecticut-class battleships are almost completely copied from the British Navy's Dreadnought-class battleships. The appearance is too similar, so our agents didn't tell them apart!" Lieutenant General Wei Zhiyong, director of the Military Intelligence Bureau,  said.

    Wang Yuze waved his hand: "I don't mean to blame the Military Intelligence Agency. However, such mistakes cannot be made again in future work! Fortunately, the British made a mistake this time, otherwise it would have had a very serious impact on our plan.  Serious impact!"

    "Yes, Your Majesty, I have remembered it!" Lieutenant General Wei Zhiyong said.

    "Fortunately, the British did not concentrate all their battleships in the Bab el-Mandeb Strait immediately. Otherwise, this battle would have been really troublesome. If they had assembled ten battleships in the Bab el-Mandeb Strait before, even if the Indian Ocean Fleet would have won  , I¡¯m afraid I will have to pay a heavy price!¡± said Navy Minister Zhang Cheng.  Fortunately, the British did this and gave the Chinese Navy's Indian Ocean Fleet a chance.  As for now?  Even if the remaining four battleships of the British Navy continue to move south, they will no longer affect the overall situation.

    "Can the Indian Ocean Fleet defeat the remaining four battleships of the British Navy?" Wang Yuze asked.

    "Of course! In the Red Sea battle, the two 'Qin-class' battleships were only slightly injured. It did not affect the subsequent battles. The four 'Dreadnought-class' battleships of the British Navy were no match for the Indian Ocean Fleet.  With the strength of two 'Qin-class' battleships and two 'Zhonghua-class' battleships, they are enough to defeat them. However, the Indian Ocean Fleet may suffer certain losses in this battle!" said Navy Minister Zhang Cheng.  Although, compared with the four battleships of the British Navy, the Indian Ocean Fleet has certain advantages.  But this advantage is not obvious.  If a fierce battle breaks out, the Indian Ocean Fleet certainly has a great chance of winning.  But I am sure I will pay a certain price!

    "No matter what, this battle must be fought! Only by defeating the British Navy can we block the retreat of the British and French coalition forces. The losses of the Indian Ocean Fleet can be replenished first!" Wang Yuze made up his mind.

    "Your Majesty, we must also be on guard against the Americans. Since the U.S. Navy has sent battleships to Britain, they are very likely to join this war. If the U.S. fleet in Britain also joins, the Indian Ocean Fleet will face a huge challenge.  The pressure is on!¡± reminded Minister of National Defense Jiang Xingguo.  The presence of the US Navy in the UK is already a bad sign.

    "Contact the Germans and ask them to send a fleet to patrol the North Sea and hold back the Americans. The British invited the United States here to defend their homeland. If the homeland is threatened, the American fleet will definitely not go to the Middle East!" Wang Yuze said  .  Since the Germans want a share of the Middle East's oil profits, they have to take action.  If he wants to get something for nothing, Wang Yuze will not agree to it.

    "Your Majesty, there is another problem that we have to guard against. In this battle, the empire once again defeated Britain and France, which undoubtedly shows the strength of the empire. Of course, the Allies such as Britain, France, the United States, and Russia will be afraid, and I am afraid that our allies  , they will also feel uneasy! The empire's strength has greatly increased, which must not be a good thing for them!" Chief of General Staff Xiong Wu reminded.  China and Germany have certainly come together because of their common interests.  However, if China becomes too powerful, Germany may feel very uneasy.  In this case, Germany may not be consistent with China on many issues!

    Wang Yuze¡¯s face darkened, and he strongly agreed with Chief of General Staff Xiong Wu¡¯s analysis.  William II also had ambitions for the entire world.  In the past, Germany supported China in order to seize world leadership.  However, China's development speed has exceeded Germany's expectations. Today, China is, to some extent, already more powerful than Germany.  This will undoubtedly cause tension in Germany.  An overly powerful ally is not a good thing for Germany.  Even if the Allies can be defeated in the end, it may be difficult for Germany to gain the upper hand in the future struggle for world hegemony.  This is also a huge threat to Germany's top leaders.

    "No matter what? We still make demands to Germany. If they don't comply, then they won't be able to get any oil benefits in the Middle East. If it's not our people, their hearts will be different. We must become stronger!  One day, we will have a power more powerful than the entire West! Then we won¡¯t have to be afraid of them!" Wang Yuze said through gritted teeth.

    "Your Majesty, at present, it seems that we do not have the strength to confront the entire West. Therefore,, we must win over Germany.  After defeating Britain and France, we will slowly settle accounts with the Germans!  "Xiong Wu reminded.

    "I know, I won't act out of emotion!" Wang Yuze said.  The relationship between China and Germany is both cooperative and contradictory.  It is the common goal of everyone to defeat the old colonial powers such as Britain and France and change the world structure.  But at the same time, China and Germany will not be willing to be inferior to others.  This will result in a battle between China and Germany for world leadership!  Therefore, Wang Yuze knows that sometimes, Germany will not fully cooperate with China.  However, Wang Yuze has already thought about it. When the war breaks out, China will place its primary target on the United States, and then let Germany fight with Britain, France and Russia!

    "We need to seize the Suez Canal as soon as possible. Even if the Americans join the war, it will not have any impact on the war situation!" Army Minister Cai Yun suggested.  As long as the Chinese army captures the Suez Canal, it will be able to cut off the retreat route of the British and French coalition forces.  Even if the U.S. fleet joins the British side in fighting, it will not be easy to recapture the Suez Canal.

    Wang Yuze nodded, and then said: "Let the Indian Ocean Fleet prepare for a hard battle, strive to defeat the British fleet as soon as possible, and then land in Egypt and capture the Suez Canal. In addition, the battlecruiser 'Bai Qi' of the local fleet and'  The USS Mengtian' battlecruiser immediately set off for the Middle East to provide support for the Indian Ocean Fleet. Finally, let the Pacific Fleet be dispatched and cruise around the west coast of the United States to shock the Americans!" The two battlecruisers of the Home Fleet are from China  The Navy's last mobile force.  Although the armor is slightly weak, it can still be used as a battleship, but it will be at a disadvantage when fighting battleships.  If you have to do it as a last resort, you can only do this!  After all, although battlecruisers are valuable, winning is more important!

    "Yes, Your Majesty!" Everyone accepted the order.  Everyone knows that if China wants to win the final victory, it seems that it still needs to continue to work hard!

    On the evening of December 11, the Cairo Palace, Egypt¡¯s Khedive Abbas II, welcomed a special guest, a man wearing traditional Arab robes but with an oriental face.  The place where the Egyptian Khedive Abbas II received visitors was also a secret chamber.  The surroundings were guarded by palace guards loyal to Abbas II, and no one else could get close!

    "Welcome, friend from the East. However, I want to know your exact identity?" Abbas II sat on the sofa and looked at a dark-skinned middle-aged yellow man sitting opposite.  Abbas II is only twenty-eight years old this year, but he has also made great achievements.

    "Dear Sir Khedive, my name is Zhou Yuan, and I serve China. I come to see you this time because I want to make a deal with you on behalf of China!" Zhou Yuan said.

    "Oh? Representing China? Do you have this power?" Abbas II seemed a little unconvinced.  Even he, who is far away in the Middle East, knows how powerful China is.  What's more, China is now fighting against the British and French forces next to Egypt, and it is not losing at all. Abbas II cannot help but ignore it!

    "Okay, Your Excellency. I work for China's Military Intelligence Bureau, with the rank of Brigadier General, and am responsible for all the affairs of the Military Intelligence Bureau in the Middle East. I came to see Mr. Khedive today because I received orders from above!" Brigadier General Zhou Yuan said.

    "So, what deal does China want to do with me?" Abbas II asked.  He also began to slowly make calculations in his mind.  Is it possible for Egypt and himself to gain certain benefits from this war?  It would be great if we could get rid of the British control of Egypt with the help of the Chinese!

    "China hopes that Egypt will remain neutral in the next war! And we will support Egypt's independence, and you will be able to become the Sultan of Egypt!" Zhou Yuan said.

    "Remain neutral? Could it be that the Chinese army will attack Egypt? As far as I know, your army is fighting against the British and French coalition forces in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, and the navy is also blocked from the Bab el-Mandeb Strait, right?" Although, Abbas II  Shi was very moved by Zhou Yuan's proposal, but he was unwilling to take the risk.

    "Your message is out of date. In this morning's naval battle, our navy has defeated the British and French navies. All six battleships of the British and French navies have been sunk, but our country has not lost a single battleship!" Zhou Yuan said proudly.

    "What? Is this true?" Abbas II was shocked.  The powerful British and French navies failed so quickly.  If this is really the case, perhaps agreeing to the Chinese conditions is also a very good choice!  (To be continued.
