/sRiver pt>Imperial capital, General Office of the Lifanyuan Press, a long-planned press conference was held.

Hundreds of newspapers and journalists in China from all over the Chinese Empire, as well as dozens of countries around the world, were waiting at the press conference early.

Today, the Chinese Empire is about to release a series of major news. The powerful journalists have already made indirect attempts and roughly know that the Battle of the Solomon Islands in China and Britain has just ended, and the Chinese Empire's Navy Pacific Fleet has achieved a decisive victory.

This is a big news. For reporters, publishing it as soon as possible will greatly increase their popularity. However, journalists from European and American countries are not very happy. Although they also can't stand the royal navy of the British Empire dominating the world. If the navy of other European and American powers defeated the British Empire, they would not be too disgusted. Anyway, the world's maritime power has belonged to the West for hundreds of years in modern times, but now that the Chinese Navy defeated the British Navy, it means that the Chinese Navy will dominate the world's maritime power in the future. How can this make the Western people feel!

"Absolutely impossible!" A British journalist said in disbelief: "Our British Empire dispatched hundreds of warships this time. The Chinese Empire's Navy has not dared to fight head-on for the past six months. It was chased by the British Empire's Navy and ran all over the world. How could it suddenly win?"

"That's right, it must be that the Chinese Empire deliberately released rumors to say that their navy won in order to calm the national sentiment." A French journalist echoed that his most hope was that both Chinese and British navies were both defeated, so that the French navy could rise again.

"Well, too, the Chinese Empire has always liked to deceive themselves! Maybe they are just lying!" An American reporter snorted coldly. He was influenced by the warming relationship between Britain and the United States and was angry at the Chinese Empire's attempt to split the United States.

Recently, the United States' civil war in the north and south is about to end, and the victory of the American Union in the north is about to be achieved. The United States of America in the south can no longer withstand it and will be defeated. This is because the Chinese Empire is in an unfavorable military situation of "embracing around" and the Pacific battlefield has been fighting for half a year. The Chinese Empire's navy did not dare to fight with the British navy, which caused the United States of America in the south to be unable to obtain military supplies from the Chinese Empire. The American Union in the north has strong industrial strength, and the army was cultivated by the Chinese Empire's Divine Army. All Chinese equipment is extremely powerful. The United States of America in the south has just received support from the Chinese Empire. Although it has obtained some Chinese equipment, it cannot form effective combat effectiveness in a short period of time. Therefore, this time the Civil War. The Lincoln government cannot withstand it. Now there are only half of the state's territory left, and the defeat is a foregone conclusion.

After hearing these foreigners' words, several Chinese Empire reporters sneered at each other, and those who were quick-talking immediately mocked: "Oh, some people, like their country, have been defeated repeatedly and have no memory at all. They thought they were a powerful country in the West, so they dared to go to the East to pretend to be a b. What's the result? Our Chinese Empire is teaching them how to be a new person!"

"Even if a country with a larger slap dares to compete with our Chinese Empire!"

"And some countries have taken the aid of our empire and even said they were just talking to us. They really raised ungrateful wolves!"

Several Chinese Empire reporters spoke loudly, clearly targeting the foreigners from Britain, France and the United States, which immediately attracted the attention of everyone in the entire hall.

When the two sides were about to have a conflict, the big man arrived.

Just after nine o'clock, Zhang Peilun, the Minister of the Chinese Empire's Literary Academy, appeared at the venue with a red face, which immediately attracted everyone's attention.

"It turned out that Lord Zhang Peilun, the Minister of the Lifan Academy of the Chinese Empire, personally presided over the press conference. It seems that the rumors should be true!"

Some foreigners suddenly looked dark. They felt that the defeat of the British Navy might be true, otherwise it would be the ordinary spokesperson of the Lifanyuan Academy. Instead of Zhang Peilun, the number one minister of the Lifanyuan.

No matter what the result is, as journalists, these foreigners want to get the final confirmation from Zhang Peilun.

"Good morning everyone, dear guests, today's press conference will be hosted by me personally. Please allow me to post two messages before answering reporters' questions."

The big show is coming, and everyone is holding their breath, afraid that a word will be missed.

"The first thing: Three days ago, the Imperial Chinese Navy Pacific Fleet and the main British Royal Navy fleet broke out in the waters of the Solomon Islands. After a day of bloody battle, our Imperial Chinese Navy soldiers successfully defeated the Imperial British Royal Navy and achieved the final victory."

As soon as he finished speaking, the entire hall was in an uproar.

"That's great, our Imperial Navy really won!"

"Did I hear it wrong? It's incredible that they actually defeated the Royal Navy of the British Empire!"

...

"Silent! Silent!"

The host of the venue hurriedly maintained order. Zhang Peilun, who was standing on the speech stage, had long expected such an uproar, so he was not surprised at all. He even felt unconscious and liked to see the happy expressions of domestic journalists and the pain and depression of foreign journalists.

"The second thing: His Majesty the Emperor of the Chinese Empire, all the officers and soldiers of the Shen Ce Army of the Chinese Empire need to continue their efforts and resolutely fight back against the British and Japanese invading troops. To let them know how stupid it is to invade the Chinese Empire, they must pay a heavy price for it."

Journalists at home and abroad were once again thundered. What is this happening? Why did the Imperial Shence Army have to tell the whole world with great fanfare, fearing that the British and Japanese would not know?

Only some journalists who know military knowledge understand that this is called the remaining power of winning the naval battle, giving the enemy the heaviest psychological blow and destroying their will to resist. This is the reason why the military strategy is to defeat others without fighting. It is easier to scare the British and Japanese troops first, and then fight.

For a few politically savvy journalists, they understand more deeply that this involves a political game. Because the Chinese Empire won the victory in the Battle of the Solomon Islands, but as the defeated side, the British government must do everything possible to conceal the news and even publicly accuse the Chinese Empire of false news. In a short period of time, the British people naturally believe in their own government and will not be afraid. The British team fighting on the front line will not have panic and affect the morale and combat effectiveness. But now the Chinese Empire is proactive and high-profile about this matter, which is fighting psychological warfare, not just attacking the British psychological defense line. It is also in other European and American powers. After all, the British navy is defeated. The benefits are not only the Chinese Empire, France, Germany, and Italy, and other countries will not be honest. They will inevitably take advantage of the opportunity of weakening British maritime power to expand their own country's maritime interests.

This is called the wall falling down and everyone pushing it!

"The following is the time for reporters to ask questions!"

"Okay, fourth place on the third row on the left, yes, ladies are preferred!"

"Dear Mr. Zhang Peilun, hello. I am a reporter from Deutsche Journal. Can you tell us the scale and results of the Battle of Solomon? Thank you!"

It is the first German journalist. This is not the relationship between women and women. It is clearly a pure and pure way to tell the whole world that the Chinese Empire and Germany have the most strong relationship.

Invisibly, Europe and the United States are more wary of Germany.

"I am very happy to answer this question because this is another brilliant record created by the Chinese Empire's Navy!" Zhang Peilun smiled, picked up the data that had been prepared long ago, and released them one by one.

"After the end of the Sino-British Battle of Solomon Islands, our naval battle scale and results were counted as follows:

The British Navy has 475 various warships participating in the battle. The total tonnage is 620,000 tons and at least 100,000 naval personnel; the Chinese Empire Navy dispatched more than 50 warships of various types, with a total tonnage of 180,000 tons and 39,000 naval officers and soldiers.

In terms of naval scale, the Chinese Empire Navy is absolutely weak, but the Chinese Empire Navy has the most advanced warships and the best commanders and naval soldiers in the world. In the end, the British Navy's ironclad ships, 33 cruise ships, and other warships of various types totaled more than 370, destroying more than 70,000 British troops. Our losses were minor, almost negligible, and we achieved unprecedented victory!”

After Zhang Peilun finished speaking, the audience was quiet for more than 30 seconds. Soon, reporters from all over the Chinese Empire stood up and applauded and cheered. The reporters from Europe and the United States were in a daze with all kinds of strange expressions. It was quite exciting. Especially the British reporter, who wanted to find a crack in the ground to hide. In his opinion, the British Navy lost and lost a crushing defeat. It was so shameful.

This data was passed by the Chinese Empire government, exaggerating the strength of the British Navy, reducing the strength of the Chinese Empire's navy to participate in the war, and finally exaggerating the losses of the British Navy and reducing the losses of the Chinese Empire's navy, deliberately causing a strong contrast, making countries around the world think that the Chinese Navy is too powerful.

This is also a psychological tactic that scares all enemies who secretly peek at the Chinese Empire.

"Hello, I am a French reporter. May I ask Lord Zhang, your country has won the brilliant victory in the Battle of the Solomon Islands. Do you need to take further action? You just said that your army is preparing to counterattack. Where is the specific point? Thank you!"

Zhang Peilun replied: "The invaders must pay the price. The Chinese Empire is not easy to mess with. We adhere to the national policy of "If you don't offend me, I won't offend others. If you offend me, I will return ten or a hundred times". Wherever there is battle and enemies, we will counterattack there!"

"Hello, I am a reporter from the New York Daily News. May I ask Lord Zhang, the unification of the United States of America is imminent. Do your country continue to help the United States of America and become enemies with the United States of America? Let the United States be divided forever!"

Zhang Peilun snorted coldly and said, "Please pay attention to your words and don't make random speculations. The Chinese Empire never split a country. As we all know, the Chinese Empire has always responded to all requests to the American Alliance, giving them the most advanced weapons and equipment, and giving them the most favorable loans and aids. But in the end we found that the American Alliance was actually with Britain, which was very heartbreaking. There is a saying in the Chinese Empire that the unfamiliar white-eyed wolf is the enemy of the Chinese Empire. We advise the American Alliance to stop and stop doing things that the relatives are sad and the enemy is happy."

The American journalist wanted to deliberately disgust the Chinese Empire, but unexpectedly, Zhang Peilun solved it in a few words, but instead put the United States as an ungrateful wolf.

Zhang Peilun presided over a press conference on the news, and on the other hand, all countries in the world received news that the Chinese Navy had defeated the British Navy and won the victory, which shocked the whole world.

"How is this possible?"

The slaves from Europe and the United States who worship Britain and flatter Britain naturally could not believe that this was true. But the possibility of fraud was slim, because this was the official news released by the Chinese Empire, and the Minister of the Lifan Academy explained in person that there would never be a falsehood, and the British Navy must have suffered a defeat.

British fans around the world cried and cried. The Royal Navy of the British Empire, which they had always admired, was defeated. Seeing the data written on newspapers all over the streets, it was simply shot out by the Imperial Chinese Navy. It was so cruel that it was too cruel.

Some are happy and some are sad.

Paris, France, when Emperor Napoleon III saw the report, he suddenly laughed.

"Why is Your Majesty laughing?" asked Archbishop Monroe.

Napoleon III snorted coldly: "The damn British Navy was finally defeated, and it was extremely miserable. This time I see what the British Navy said. They refused to admit the last battle in Huangyan Island, and this time they slapped them in the face."

Monroe said: "But your Majesty, the British were just defeated by the navy. They also had the army, and I heard that there was a country called Japan helping."

Napoleon despised: "The British Army is also called the Army? That is, it's okay to bully the backward natives. They can't beat the Shen Ce Army of the Chinese Empire. In addition, the Shanghai Army has suffered a crushing defeat, so the British Army will not be far away."

Monroe didn't know much about military affairs, but just worried: "It's just that if the Chinese Empire defeated Britain again, I'm afraid the British will no longer be able to compete with the Chinese Empire. By then, the position of the world overlord will be the Chinese Empire."

"That's not!" Napoleon III analyzed calmly: "Even if the Chinese Empire wins the naval battle, its strength will inevitably be weakened. Their warships are not enough, so it would be good to barely control the Pacific Ocean. In a short period of time, it would be impossible to take over the Indian Ocean and the Atlantic Ocean control the sea power. Although the British Navy was defeated, the lean camel was bigger than the horse. The Chinese Empire wanted to control the oceans of the world, and the days were still far away. However, the British naval power was severely weakened. In the future, the British had to consider letting our French Empire develop and strengthen the naval power. This is an opportunity for our French Empire to rise at sea."

Monroe's eyes suddenly lit up and he hurriedly said, "Your Majesty is wise!"

Then there was another burst of laughter.

In Berlin, Germany, William I called Bismarck to analyze the results of the Naval Battle between China and Britain.

"What do you think of this battle report?"

Bismarck smiled and said, "There must be moisture. But the problem is not big and it will not affect the result. It is true that the Imperial Chinese Navy won an unprecedented victory."

William I exclaimed: "I didn't expect that the Chinese Empire was so powerful that it defeated the arrogant British navy in less than twenty years. When you fully supported the alliance between the empire and the Chinese Empire, you really had a unique vision."

Bismarck was slightly deeper and said, "Your Majesty, I'm afraid we have to reassess the strength of the Chinese Empire."

William I was puzzled and asked, "Why do you say that? Are you worried?"

Bismarck said: "There is only interest relationship between countries, and alliances are just for outsiders to see. Originally, I thought it would take at least twenty years for the Chinese Empire to defeat the British Navy. However, the result of the Pacific War made me realize that the Chinese Empire's navy grew too fast. This is a terrible military force, and we have to adjust our policies."

"you mean?"

"The Chinese Empire Navy's grasp of world maritime hegemony too quickly will be a huge obstacle and threat to the Imperial Navy's future hegemony."

William I was shocked, Bismarck thought for a long time.

Bismarck continued: "My initial idea was to use the Chinese Empire to restrain Britain. The Sino-British war would be both sides of the country. We should work hard to develop naval power to seize world maritime hegemony. But now the Imperial Navy has not grown up yet, but the Imperial Navy has defeated the British Navy. In less than ten years, the Chinese Empire will completely crush the British Navy and control world maritime hegemony, which will give us less time."

William I nodded and asked, "What are some good suggestions do you have?"

Bismarck replied: "We must accelerate the construction of naval forces. In comparison, we can temporarily suspend the construction of the army and concentrate more funds for the navy."

Seeing William I hesitating, Bismarck advised: "The British Navy was defeated and its colonial rule in all parts of the world will be shaken. This is a great opportunity for us to seize overseas colonies."

William I immediately made up his mind and nodded, "Okay, I will support you with all my strength!"

Just like Germany's mind, Italy, as an emerging European power country, is also vigorously developing its naval power in the face of the world's divided colonies and preparing to go to Africa to compete for the colonies.
