    "Your Majesty, these Germans are so abominable. They completely violated the secret agreement we signed. ¡ò ¡òHow is it possible that the boilers of eight battleships need repair? This is obviously deliberately to let us fight against the Allies so that they can reap the benefits.  !" Army Minister Cai Yun said angrily.  The news that Germany refused to send a fleet to patrol the North Sea to deter the British had already come, and China showed great indignation at this.

    Wang Yuze's face was also a little gloomy. Obviously, what he was most worried about had happened. Germany has shown vigilance towards China's strength. This is not a good sign!

    "Your Majesty, it seems that the Germans are unreliable. We still have to rely on ourselves!" Chief of General Staff Xiong Wu also sighed.  What allies, what secret agreements, everything is fake, only real national interests are real!

    Wang Yuze nodded: "Of course I know that the Germans are unreliable. But now is not the time to fall out with them. At least before we defeat the Allies, we still need the Germans to hold off Britain and France for us. Only after defeating the Allies can we have  Strength and compete with Germany for world hegemony!" Kaiser Wilhelm II was a man with great ambitions.  In another time and space, it was he who first proposed the "Yellow Peril Theory". The commander of the Eight-Nation Allied Forces invading China was also a German.  Therefore, Wang Yuze has always been very wary of Germany.

    "Your Majesty, no matter what, the Germans have gone too far this time, and we must take countermeasures. The Germans still have four 'Helgoland-class' battleships under construction in our shipyard, otherwise we  Deliberately delay their progress!" Navy Minister Zhang Cheng suggested.

    "Yes! Slow down the construction progress of the 'Helgoland-class' battleship by one-third, and use excess materials and labor. Strengthen it to the 'Han-class' battleship and the 'Hanxin-class' fast battleship. Fight for the 'Han-class' battleship  It was put into service before the end of 1904. The 'Hanshin-class' fast battleship was put into service before the end of 1905! Without these four 'Helgoland-class' battleships, even if the Germans wanted to launch an attack on Britain in advance, it would be impossible!  "Wang Yuze said.  The German Navy now has eight 'Nassau-class' battleships, and four 'Helgoland-class' battleships are still being built domestically, plus four 'Helgoland-class' battleships built in China, and the construction of  Once all five Kaiser-class battleships are completed, the German Navy will have 21 battleships and six battlecruisers.  The main force of the British Navy and the French Navy.  It has been destroyed by the Chinese Navy, which will cause the British Navy to lose its advantage over the German Navy.  But if the delivery of the four Helgoland-class battleships built by China for Germany is delayed, it will not be so easy for Germany to defeat the British Navy.  China does not want Germany to defeat Britain and France. What China wants to see is Germany falling into a bitter battle with Britain and France.  It will consume all domestic manpower and material resources, and finally wait for China to deal with the United States before joining the war against Europe.  By then, even if the Allies are defeated, Germany will not have the strength to compete with China for world leadership, because Germany's blood has been lost while fighting Britain and France!  certainly.  This also requires a good grasp of the situation. If Germany is forced into a panic and Germany simply joins the Allied Powers to fight China, then China will be in misery.  after all.  Even if there are deep conflicts between white people, it is very possible for them to unite together for common interests.  As long as Britain and France offer Germany a sufficient price, there is the possibility of Germany betraying the alliance.  Also very big!

    "In addition, the empire's military power must continue to be strengthened. As for the army, increase the mechanization of each group army, especially the group armies defending Central Asia and the north. It is possible to increase the number of heavy-duty trucks to replace mules and horses. At the same time, the armored assault of the Guards  Tactics must be improved. The army's development of tanks and armored vehicles must also be accelerated. In terms of the navy, in addition to the 'Han-class' battleships and 'Hanxin-class' fast battleships, the design of the next-level battleships must also be accelerated.  Speed. The next level of battleships will use larger main guns, thicker armor and faster speeds. In addition, the development of the air force must also be a focus. I hope that before the next large-scale war breaks out, we can equip ourselves with the ability to  Aircraft used in actual combat. By then, not only the Air Force will need to equip enough fighters and bombers, but the Navy will also have to do a good job in the carrier-based work of fighters, bombers and torpedo aircraft. In future naval battles, the decisive role will no longer be  The duel between battleships is an air strike!" Wang Yuze said solemnly.  These are the future development directions of China¡¯s army, navy and air force.  Although, the Air Force is still an experimental force, its scale is still relatively small, and it is also highly confidential to the outside world.  But Wang Yuze attaches great importance to the development of the Air Force.  Once the Air Force develops fighter jets and bombers that can use Yu Shi'sWhen it comes to aircraft, especially bombers and torpedo aircraft that can threaten battleships at sea, China's military power will once again stand at the top of the world, and it will be easier for China to win the war!

    "Yes, Your Majesty!" the military giants all replied.  However, although they did not believe that Wang Yuze said that future naval battles would be dominated by fighter planes, this did not prevent them from carrying out the orders issued by Wang Yuze.  Wang Yuze's orders have always been proven to be very forward-looking, which makes these military giants trust Wang Yuze's judgment.

    "Your Majesty, our attack on Egypt and the Suez Canal must be carried out as soon as possible. Egypt's Khedive Abbas II has promised to remain neutral on the condition that we support him to become the Sultan of Egypt after defeating the British and French forces." Chief of General Staff  Xiong Wu said.

    "Yes, we can support Abbas II to become the Sultan of Egypt and provide him with military assistance. Command the front line and launch an attack on the Suez Canal. The British and French coalition forces only have 100,000 people around the Suez Canal. I hope to be able to do so as soon as possible.  To control the Suez Canal, it is best to take control of the Suez Canal before the American fleet arrives at the Suez Canal. In that case, even if the Americans join the war, it will not affect the development of the war!" Wang Yuze said.  As long as China takes control of the Suez Canal in advance, even if six battleships of the US Navy arrive, the Chinese Navy's Indian Ocean Fleet will lose its advantage.  But it was enough to cut off the logistic supply line of the British and French coalition forces.

    "Yes, Your Majesty!"

    In the Red Sea, the Chinese Navy¡¯s Indian Ocean Fleet is continuing to sail towards the Red Sea. After defeating the British and French coalition forces, they did not stop heading north.  At this moment, the huge fleet carrying the Seventh Army of the Army and the Second Marine Division had entered the Red Sea from the Gulf of Aden through the Bab el-Mandeb Strait.  The Chinese Navy's Indian Ocean Fleet needs to defeat the British fleet heading south and prepare for the landing of the Marine Corps and Army.

    On the battlecruiser ¡®Wang Ben¡¯, Lieutenant General Li Haitao, Commander of the Indian Ocean Fleet, and Brigadier General Wu Zhiyuan, Chief of Staff, are discussing the next move!

    "The latest intelligence from the Navy Department shows that the remaining four British 'Dreadnought-class' battleships are passing through the Suez Canal. We are likely to encounter them in the northern Red Sea. To ensure that our troops land in Egypt and capture the Suez Canal, we must first defeat them.  We need a British fleet!" Fleet Commander Lieutenant General Li Haitao said.

    "In the battle in the morning, we basically did not suffer much losses. The two 'Qin-class' battleships were only slightly injured, which did not affect the battle. With two 'Qin-class' battleships and two 'Zhonghua-class' battleships  There will be no problem in dealing with four Dreadnought-class battleships!" Fleet Chief of Staff Lieutenant General Wu Zhiyuan said.  Judging from the comparison of strength between the two sides, the Chinese Navy's Indian Ocean Fleet still has the upper hand.  The combat power of the two 'Qin-class' battleships and the two 'Zhonghua-class' battleships is far more powerful than the opponent's four 'Dread-class' battleships.

    "However, in this battle, it may not be so easy for us to defeat the opponent unscathed. In addition, the six American 'Connecticut-class' battleships are likely to join the battle. If we are dealing with the British fleet  If the losses are too heavy in the process, it will be very detrimental to our subsequent battles. At present, the country can only support us with the battle cruiser 'Baiqi' and the battle cruiser 'Mengtian'!" Lieutenant General Li Haitao said with a serious face.  The six Connecticut-class battleships of the U.S. Navy put tremendous pressure on him.

    "Even if we are at a disadvantage, it is not easy for the British and Americans to defeat us. We seize the time and quickly defeat the British fleet, and then deploy the submarine force in the northern part of the Suez Canal, which is enough to block the waters in the northern part of the Suez Canal.  Even if the six American 'Connecticut-class' battleships arrive, they probably won't be able to pass through our submarine blockade!" Rear Admiral Wu Zhiyuan said.

    "Well! Order the fleet to speed up! Get ready for battle and defeat the British fleet in one fell swoop!" Lieutenant General Li Haitao issued the battle order.

    However, the battle preparations of the Chinese Navy¡¯s Indian Ocean Fleet were still in vain.  The British government agreed to the request of the United States and provided the United States with the technology it needed in exchange for the U.S. Navy's entry into the Mediterranean Sea.  In order to reduce unnecessary losses, the British Admiralty ordered the four Dreadnought-class battleships passing through the Suez Canal to return to the Mediterranean and stand by.  This allowed the Chinese navy to reach the southern end of the Suez Canal without any hindrance.

    On December 13, the Second Division of the Chinese Marine Corps launched a landing operation in Egypt!
