Chapter 538 Yuan Shikai's Comeback

The British troops withdrawn from Suez City were already destroyed by the Dragoon chariot troops of the Chinese Empire before they even arrived in Ismailia.

The entire desert night was occupied by the light of red guns and cannons, and the British army's wailing was forever burned on this sandy land.

By dawn, Donald had arrived in Ismailia in advance, but when he learned that tens of thousands of British troops had not been able to come back together, but stayed in the desert forever, he vomited blood.

"Immediately block the Great Ku Lake. No matter what method is used, I will block the canal channel first!"

After Donald got angry, he immediately regained his rationality and clarity.

The British army acted immediately without Donald warning them. They knew very well that once the Chinese naval warships came along the canal, Ismailia would be in danger.

It was precisely because the British army was too afraid of the Chinese Empire's army that they completed one thing efficiently for the first time, which was that the shipwreck blocked the canal waterway.

This is much more useful than water radium. No matter how the British army deploys water radium, it will not be difficult for the Chinese Empire Navy. They will use various advanced means to eliminate water radium.

However, if the dilapidated British gunboats, patrol ships, and large ships are sunk into the canal channel, the channel can be easily blocked and not easily cleaned.

This British army's method did indeed block the Indian Ocean fleet of the Imperial Navy that was about to go to Ismailia.

However, what the British army did not expect was that when they were fully resisting the Chinese Imperial team from the direction of Suez City, an unprecedented fierce battle broke out at the Port of Said on the other end of the Suez Canal.

Originally, the tactic formulated by the Ministry of War of the Chinese Empire was to use the 33rd town of the Cyprus garrison to attack the Port of Said as a restraining force, that is, assisting, and the main attack direction was Suez City at the southern end of the Suez Canal.

However, the Ministry of War did not realize that the commander of the 33rd Town, the 33rd Town, suddenly suffered from stomach disease and was hospitalized. A colonel named Yuan Kai temporarily replaced the commander of the 33rd Town, and led his army to the Port of Seid with the Mediterranean Fleet, responsible for feinting the attack on Seid.

Yuan Kai has been very proud recently. Since he changed his name, bad luck seems to have disappeared suddenly and began to rise to the top.

That's right, his former name was Yuan Shikai. Although he was a good person and served as the commander of the Shence Army of the Chinese Empire, he was always depressed and unsuccessful. Especially when he was marked by Li Hongzhang, he was disliked by Emperor Li Weiguo, and was finally transferred to a remote place to be the police chief.

Of course, Yuan Shikai never knew that he was depressed and unsuccessful not because he had something to do with Li Hongzhang, but because Emperor Li Weiguo felt uncomfortable when he heard the three words Yuan Shikai.

Yuan Shikai later met a charlatan and told him a fortune teller, saying that his name was not good and he was a taboo, so he suggested that he change his name. Yuan Shikai believed it, removed the word Shi, and changed it to Yuan Kai.

However, the incident that really changed Yuan Shikai's fate was an accidental fire. He had a facial burn, which was disfigured. However, he encountered a highly skilled plastic surgeon, so Yuan Shikai changed his face.

He resigned from his post as police chief, went to Europe, and met a woman studying abroad, the daughter of the Governor of the Cyprus Governor.

Yuan Shikai quickly bid farewell to his past life, and from then on he became Yuan Kai, marrying the daughter of the daughter. Although Yuan Shikai's father-in-law, the Governor of the Cyprus, later discovered Yuan Shikai's secret, for the happiness of his daughter, he also found that Yuan Shikai was a rare talent and helped him manage Cyprus in an orderly manner, so he did not punish Yuan Shikai. However, when investigating Yuan Shikai's archives, the experienced Governor of Cyprus discovered that Yuan Shikai had offended the top leaders of the empire for some reason and was worried about being implicated, so he arranged for someone to create a record of Yuan Shikai's death, and at the same time, he also copied Yuan Kai's archives.

So, Yuan Shikai had a new life, and the top leaders of the Chinese Empire seemed to believe in his death.

In this way, Yuan Shikai was at ease to develop in Cyprus. Relying on his father-in-law as the governor, he soon became a company commander in a 33 towns of the Cyprus. Because of his outstanding performance, he was promoted to the commander of the colonel under the operation of the governor of Cyprus.

Of course, Yuan Shikai was ambitious. Although he had not yet expanded to the point of becoming an emperor, he was at least unwilling to be just a brigade commander.

The opportunity came soon, and the world war broke out. Yuan Shikai trained his troops and was determined to work hard in the war, because once a soldier encounters a war, there are many opportunities for promotion, and it is not surprising that the rockets appreciate.

Unfortunately, Yuan Shikai waited for two years. The Chinese Empire focused on the Pacific battlefield and the American battlefield. The European direction focused on defense, which almost made Yuan Shikai completely abandon himself.

But his chance came. With the order issued by the Ministry of War of the Chinese Empire, he feinted the attack on Said Port and cooperated with the main force to seize the Suez Canal.

Yuan Shikai jumped up because he had been studying how to seize the Suez Canal from a very early stage. After all, in Yuan Shikai's eyes, he knew very well what the Chinese Empire wanted most. In the Mediterranean attachment, the only one that meets the conditions was the Suez Canal.

In Said Port, Yuan Shikai quietly operated for a long time in order to be able to use it one day.

Port Said is the northern exit of the Suez Canal, and is operated by the British army like an iron barrel.

Just as Guam was important to the Chinese Empire, the Chinese Empire built Guam so strong that hundreds of thousands of British troops once hated that Guam could not be defeated. Later, the British army also learned to build the Fortifications of the Port of Said, which they thought was the most important.

At this time, the Port of Said was a hundred times stronger than the Port of Said in history. The British army continued to build the Fortress and built a large number of fortresses on both sides of the canal. The Port of Fu'ad on the other side also built the Fortress fortifications, which are support and support fortifications.

The British side once gave up their bold statements, even if the Chinese Empire's Shen Ce Army came, if they did not pay 300,000 lives, they would definitely not be able to defeat Seed Port.

The commander of the Thirty-Three Towns was going to lead the troops to fight in person, but for some reason he suddenly had stomach problems and was directly hospitalized. So under the operation of the Governor's Office of Cyprus, Yuan Shikai temporarily took over the position of division commander and directed the attack on the Port of Said.

"Weiting, are you sure you can capture the Port of Seed? You must know that it is a fortress defended by 50,000 British troops. No one with more than 100,000 people may not be able to capture it!"

Before leaving, Yuan Shikai met with his father-in-law in the Governor's Office.

Yuan Shikai said: "Don't worry, father-in-law, I won't joke about my future! If I had only one brigade of troops, I was only 10% sure. Now I have a town of troops, I will be 30% sure. If my father-in-law persuaded the Imperial Air Force Command to dispatch 500 planes to assist me in the war, I will be 90% sure to take the Port of Seed."

Ninety percent sure?

The Governor of Cyprus was shocked when he heard this. In his opinion, the Chinese habits would not be full of words. Ninety percent of the time were equal to ten percent of the time.

It is said that birds of feathers gather together. The Governor of Cyprus was obviously an ambitious person who wanted to use Yuan Shikai to accumulate political capital for himself. If he could capture the Port of Seed with just one town of troops, become a star of the Emperor of China, and he also said that he would accumulate enough capital to return to China to participate in the parliamentary elections, and it would be fine if he climbed a few more steps up.

So, the Governor of Cyprus made a quick decision and said, "Okay, I believe you once!"

With the mediation of the Governor of Cyprus, he quickly received a response from Zhuang Jiuxia, the commander of the Imperial Air Force of the Chinese Empire.

Zhuang Jiuxia has been very depressed recently. It was originally a joint operation between the sea, land and air, but at the last moment, the navy and army still discriminated against the air force, and actually kicked the air force away and acted alone.

The reason for Zhang Xiaoliu and Lin Jiyun is very simple. The range of the Chinese Empire's f16 fighter jets is limited, and the main attack direction of the navy and army is in Suez City. If the f16 fighter jets take off from Djibouti Airport, their combat radius will not reach Suez. So the Air Force is allowed to stand by in Cyprus. With the strength of the navy and army, the Suez Canal can be captured on time without the air force.

Zhuang Jiu was extremely arrogant. At this time, the Governor of Cyprus asked for help from the Air Force and hinted that as long as the Air Force dispatched 500 fighter jets to cooperate, the Port of Said could be taken down.

Zhuang Jiuxia was about to let the navy and army see the strength of the air force. Since the Governor of Cyprus promised to take over Seed Port, he simply transferred all 1,500 fighter jets to cooperate with the 33 towns to attack Seed Port. Anyway, these fighters are in Cyprus, and they are idle, so it is better to give it a try.

The support of 1,500 fighter jets made Yuan Shikai more confident.

The Royal Navy Mediterranean Fleet was also stuck at this time and did not dare to come to intercept the Imperial Navy Mediterranean Fleet.

You should know that the Chinese Empire Navy's Mediterranean Fleet only has six heavy cruisers, three light cruisers, as well as twelve destroyers, twenty-two lightning ships (fish-radium boats) and eight submarines.

However, the Royal Navy of the British Empire had four old battleships, eight large armored cruisers, eight cruise ships, nearly twenty frigates, and at least thirty submarines, which far exceeded the Chinese Empire.

However, the shadow of the famous tree of people, the Chinese Empire Navy crushed the Japanese Navy Combined Fleet and the American Navy's Two Ocean Fleet, which was powerful, which scared the British Royal Navy. At the same time, they were worried that the Italian Navy, Austro-Hungarian Navy, and even the Ottoman Navy were ambushing nearby, thinking that the Chinese Empire Navy was just bait, so they did not dare to fight and directly avoided it.

In this way, Yuan Shikai once again got a bargain and did not have to fight with the British Navy Mediterranean Fleet and arrived directly outside Said Port.

In fact, the only thing Yuan Shikai is worried about is naval battles. He can dominate the land, but there is no way to do it in the sea. Once the Mediterranean fleets between China and Britain fight, if China is defeated, then everything is empty talk. No matter how much Yuan Shikai has ideas, he cannot fly to Port Said across the sea.

The front of Said Port has powerful fortress artillery. Even if the battleships arrive here, they have to be extra careful, not to mention that there are several heavy cruisers. As long as they get a shot, they will basically have to be killed.

Yuan Shikai has been studying the attack method of the Said Port Fortress, and now he is already confident.

The geographical location of Said Port is very distinctive. It is both a city and a coastal port, and it also passes through the Suez Canal. Behind the Said Port is the huge Lake Manzaile. This special geographical location is destined to turn Said Port into an isolated island surrounded by the sea.

In order to avoid maritime threats, directly entering Lake Manzaile and attacking the rear of the Port of Said, the British army took great pains to build a dam of 100 kilometers long between Lake Manzaile and the Mediterranean. However, Lake Manzaile was too big, and there were still 500,000 civilians in Port of Said. Their ships needed to go out to sea from Lake Manzaile. So the British army had to leave a waterway exit twenty kilometers northwest of Port of Said. During the war, troops stationed to defend. However, due to the width of the embankment, large-scale fortifications could not be built, so this place became the breakthrough point chosen by Yuan Shikai.

When the Chinese Empire Navy Mediterranean Fleet appeared outside the Said Port, the British troops in the Said Fortress suddenly became nervous and entered a state of high combat readiness.

However, the Chinese Empire's navy has not moved and has sailed far away, avoiding the artillery strike range of the Said Port Fortress and playing psychological tactics with the British army.

At the same time, the Imperial Chinese Air Force dispatched 1,500 F16 fighter jets and began to attack the fortresses and cities in Port Said.

One thousand five hundred fighter jets roared over, densely packed, and some British troops who were intensively phobic were instantly scared.

Da da da da da!

Da da da da da!

The fighter planes dived and then fired, forcing the British army to hide. The people in the city were even more screaming and howling. Their homes were beaten into hornet's nests, and many families caught fire, and smoke filled the smoke.

This is a kind of shock, which makes the British army and the people feel powerless to resist when facing the military attack of the Chinese Empire.

This was also Yuan Shikai's strategy. It shocked the British army during the day and made the British army think that this was just a prelude. Soon the Chinese Emperor's team will launch a head-on landing battle.

Just as the British army was waiting nervously, at night, the Mediterranean fleet of the Chinese Empire quietly left, carrying hundreds of warships, and rushed to the Mingang exit twenty kilometers away.

The roar of ship guns destroyed several British bunkers and also broke the blockade on the sea.

After the lightning strike ship advanced and carefully removed the water radium, the Chinese Navy Mediterranean Fleet quickly entered Lake Manzaile, and then sailed dozens of kilometers eastward, it appeared in a city with a population of 500,000 behind the Port of Said.

The sudden and huge change caught the British army off guard.

However, the British army was not completely unprepared. Tens of thousands of British troops were stationed along the coast of Lake Manzaile, but compared with the Mediterranean direction, there was less threat of hundreds of large-caliber fortress guns here.

"Start the beach landing battle!"
