    September 22, at 5 o'clock in the evening, the southernmost city of Peninsular Malaysia, Johor Bahru, Lieguang Town.

    Among the dense jungles and rubber plantations, which were painted with a layer of orange-yellow soft light by the sunset, three colonel officers of the Northeast Army in straight military uniforms stood in a row, holding telescopes together and looking at Singapore across the Johor Strait.  City, solemn expressions gathered between their brows.  At this time, the British Empire was already fading like the setting sun and was embattled on all sides. But through the telescope, Singapore in front seemed to still be immersed in peace and tranquility. Rows of tall buildings lined up on both sides of the wide road.  The palm trees are just like the magnificent high-rise buildings in the city, reflecting the elegant and tranquil mood of the British Empire everywhere.  However, the British government at the other end of Europe has no time to care about this territory that has been heavily surrounded by the Northeast Army's army, navy and air force.  The three young officers - Colonel Qu Jidong, commander of the 37th Infantry Brigade of the Northeast Army, Colonel Jin Jiahao, commander of the 23rd Infantry Brigade, and Colonel Liao Huiqi, commander of the 277th B Infantry Division, all showed confidence that victory was in hand.

    Colonel Qu looked down at his watch, threw away the cigarette butt, blew out a puff of smoke, and said calmly: "Let's get started."

    The jungle and the ground began to tremble, and dust flew into the sky. The Northeastern Army soldiers who were waiting in line in the town behind were striding forward with sonorous steps. Tens of thousands of bayonets formed one piece of chilling forest after another, and tens of thousands of bicycles  The sand and dust in the sky are stirred up and the sound is like thunder; among the flying sand and rocks, hundreds of light and medium tanks are lined up and rumble forward; silver wings are soaring in the sky and fighter planes are roaring; warships are flying on the sea, and the flames are as fierce as the sunset  With gushing waves, rows of naval guns of various calibers fired destructive shells at the urban area of ??Singapore. The overwhelming artillery fire made the sky above the Singapore city as bright and transparent as day after night fell.

    At 10:40 at night, the moon is bright and the stars are sparse, and the night sky is as bright as a wash.

    The Union Jack flag fluttered gently in the cool night wind. The Trinmakoli Military Port in the northeastern part of Ceylon (Sri Lanka) Island was brightly lit and whistles were blaring, creating a chaotic and busy scene.  Amidst the undulating waves hitting the shore, the medium-sized aircraft carrier HMS Fury of the Royal Navy's Far East Fleet (also called Fleet Z), which is as huge as a steel hill, slowly put away its anchor chain and joined the flagship "Hood"  The battlecruiser HMS Prince of Wales, the battleship HMS Duke of York and other companion ships sailed out of the harbor one after another, heading towards the dark and unknown Bay of Bengal and the Andaman Sea to support the eight soldiers trapped in Singapore.  Thousands of Commonwealth troops.

    Vice Admiral Thomas Phillips, Commander-in-Chief of the Far East Fleet, paced uneasily back and forth in the sweltering general operations control room of the flagship battlecruiser USS Hood. He looked up at the black aircraft carrier USS Fury not far away on the sea.  Junjun's huge body can't help but be filled with emotion.  The "Fury" was originally a heavy cruiser. It was first modified into the world's first true aircraft carrier at the end of 1918. It is the original ancestor of all aircraft carriers in the world.  This "veteran" who laid a solid foundation for the British Royal Navy's future design and construction of aircraft carriers and accumulated a wealth of information is still going into battle again. It is really helpless!  The increasingly severe war has made Britain almost breathless.  On the one hand, the homeland of the British Empire is facing a powerful threat from the German navy and air force. The exhausted Royal Navy Home Fleet is already the last line of defense for the British Isles. According to the words of Prime Minister Winston Churchill, "Once the German army is in  If the British land on the mainland, then we have nothing to stop them from occupying the entire British territory." At the same time, misfortunes never come singly. At the same time, the Chinese Northeast Army Navy, a rising star in the East, has defeated the Imperial Japanese Navy's combined fleet and continues to sweep across  Throughout Southeast Asia, British, French, and Dutch colonies were annexed, posing a serious threat to India's security.  Therefore, the Royal Navy, which was stretched thin in the number of warships, had to send the "Fury" to go into battle again.  At this time, the Dutch East India Navy, which could have fought with them reluctantly, was also completely wiped out, and it also gained a reputation as a person who "will not save people even if they die".  Internationally, neutral countries have ridiculed Britain's "appeasement policy" for condoning the "aggression" of Germany and China. Britain first sat idly by, declared no war, and watched the Polish Army being wiped out by the German Army, and now  They continued to watch the fire from across the bank, watching the Dutch East India Navy fleet being completely annihilated by the Chinese Northeast Army without doing anything. U.S. President Franklin Roosevelt once sharply criticized, "The British stood by and watched, causing them to lose two people in the East and the West at once."  Don Quixote's brave allies will then suffer the consequences."

    And at this moment, bad news came one after another.  Five hours ago, the 28th Marine Brigade of the Northeast Army was under cross-fire cover from two destroyers and two frigates.The sound of curses, prayers, and cries in English even with the accent of the hometown dialect reached the command room of the battlecruiser USS Hood, the flagship of the Z fleet.

    "Despicable!" Lieutenant General Phillips was so angry that he shouted again: "Stop the shelling immediately!" He knew very well that the Northeast Army despicably dragged all the captured British soldiers to the beach. Once he continued to order the shelling,  Then the thousands of our own captured soldiers on the beach will all "die together" with the Northeast Army (after all, there are a large number of naval officers around who can testify against themselves in the future).  And if he is accused of "slaughtering his own soldiers," his reputation, honor, career, and future will all be ruined.  Thinking of this, Vice Admiral Phillips suddenly became angry.

    "Noble gentlemen of the British Royal Navy! Are you going to do something to make up for your mistakes? Our medicine, food, and fresh water are very limited, and the shelling you just made has given us and your captives  The soldiers have caused more casualties. Look, these brave warriors of the British Empire are bleeding! Wow, how pitiful they are. I hope they all go to heaven after they die." Commander-in-chief of the battlecruiser HMS Hood  Li Xihao's demonic and hateful voice came from the command room again.

    Lieutenant General Phillips gritted his teeth and grabbed the radio: "I am Vice Admiral Thomas Phillips of the Royal Navy of the British Empire. What on earth do you want to do?"

    "Ah? Mr. Lieutenant General, don't get me wrong. We just hope that you will uphold the spirit of humanitarianism and the friendship you should have as compatriots and stop shelling the beach. By the way, send us another 300 tons of medicine and food.  and Tamsui, otherwise we will not be able to rescue those wounded soldiers in your country!" Li Xihao said loudly.

    "Okay! Dear Colonel, I will do what you wish!" Lieutenant General Phillips swallowed his anger, turned to the communications officer and ordered: "Immediately order the destroyer Electra and Swift to transport  Three hundred tons of medicine, food, and fresh water are sent to the Chinaman's beach position. Do it immediately! No mistakes!"

    "Mr. Lieutenant General, you are so generous! I like your cheerfulness! If I have the chance, I will treat you to dinner. Of course, we will not let your destroyer go back empty-handed, we will return it to you  The remains of all the fallen soldiers of your army. However, some of them were unfortunately blown to pieces by your naval guns. I also hope that your noble and elegant gentlemen of the Royal Navy will not find it disgusting"  Li Xihao's voice continued to come out from the intercom intermittently.  Lieutenant General Phillips grabbed the walkie-talkie and threw it to the ground, then crushed it with his foot.  (I arranged for my girlfriend to work a few days ago, so I delayed the update. She was no longer around yesterday, and I felt very sad. Please forgive me for the delay in updating.) (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
