There are two different monsoon seasons in the waters near the Nansha Islands. The northeast monsoon wind blows from December to March of the following year, which is quite wet: the southwest monsoon wind blows from June to September, which is the driestest. These two monsoon periods are separated by the monsoon alternating months, namely April to May, and November to December. During the monsoon alternating months, the ground wind is weak and changeable, and the sun is hot, forming a rainy afternoon to evening, with frequent showers and thunderstorms.

On November 12, the war in Hong Kong was intensified, and the British government ordered the British Asian fleet guarding Singapore to escort the expeditionary force to Hong Kong for reinforcements.

Marshal Lyons has always opposed this plan because he felt that Hong Kong could not defend at all. Instead of wasting troops to go to Hong Kong, it was better to stick to Singapore. Lyons stayed in the Imperial Navy for many years and was familiar with the combat ideas of senior generals of the Imperial Navy.

"If we go to reinforce Hong Kong, the Imperial Chinese Navy will definitely wait somewhere in the South China Sea and say to us "Hello" and "I've been waiting for you for a long time, and so on."

In the office, Lyons was walking back and forth. He opposed the fleet going to sea and even more against reinforcements from Hong Kong. He believed that this was the plot of the Chinese Empire Navy and the Pacific Fleet would ambush them halfway.

Chief of Staff Lieutenant General Bill frowned and said, "But if you can't lead the fleet to sea to meet the enemy, the command will soon withdraw your post!" Lyons said firmly: "I would rather be removed than let our fleet go out and die in vain!" Bill sighed, "I understand your feelings, but if you are removed, we will no longer have a commander who is familiar with the combat ideas of the Chinese Empire's naval forces. The new commander will definitely flatter the commander and lead the fleet to sea to fight. Instead of that, I think it is more appropriate for you to command our fleet."

Lyons also understood the current situation and said, "But what do we use to fight against the Chinese Empire Navy? Damn the Navy!" Bill asked, "Marson Marshal, why are you so worried about the new concept battleships of the Chinese Empire? As far as I know, they are only nine deployed in the Pacific Fleet."

Lyons said: "You don't know. Fisher and I have watched the sea test of the Divine Bow battleship and witnessed her powerful battle ox power. None of our battleships is the opponent of this new concept battleship."

Bill said: "Since Fei Haner knows her power, why has the Imperial Navy not built on a large scale yet?" Lyons sighed: "It's all the waste minister Fisher, who can't control the opinions of the Navy. He wasted three years, and he eventually built dozens of outdated scrap iron ships."

Bill said: "No matter how you think, I feel that the officers and soldiers in the fleet are dissatisfied with you now. They say you are a coward and dare not respond. I also think that it is not a solution for us to be blocked by the Chinese Empire Navy at the doorstep. If we continue for a long time, the face of the Imperial Navy will be ruined." Lyons smiled bitterly and said: "One side is the face of the Imperial Empire, and the other side is the gap in strength. Do you know?

We are following the path of Russia's defeat back then!"

Bill continued to persuade: "But we can't stand this way. When the Chinese Empire Navy completes a complete maritime blockade, we will be too passive." Lyons seemed unable to resist the Chief of Staff and said: "Since that's the case, we have to plan well."

Lyons had no choice but to ask the officers Qi and his team to discuss the strategy of going to sea to meet the enemy.

In a certain waters in the Nansha Islands, the main force of the Pacific Fleet was thrown here, and the silver-gray hull painted from a distance looked like a wave.

Located in the middle of the fleet is the flagship IQ battleship, with a huge hull of more than 20,000 tons and a huge island of twenty meters high, and a dragon flag of the Chinese Empire flutters in the wind above.

The four double-mounted 305mm main gun turrets are neatly arranged on the central axis of the hull. Even if the dark muzzle is covered by the cannon suit, it still cannot conceal its murderous outline.

On the bridge, Fleet Commander General Lin Jianzhang, Fleet Commander, Lieutenant General Ye Zugui, Chief of Staff of the Fleet, and Fleet Command, gathered together.

"Isn't there any movement yet?" Ye Zugui asked the intelligence consultant.

The intelligence officer shook his head and said, "The British fleet has been hiding in Singapore Harbor and never came out." Lin Jianzhang smiled and said, "This Marshal Lyons has been dealing with us for many years, and this trick may not work for him."

Ye Zugui said: "That may not be true! Although Lyons can guess our tactics, the British Admiralty may not think so. The war in Hong Kong is at a tight moment, so I don't believe that the British will sit idly by. They will force Lyons to reinforce Hong Kong!"

Lin Jianzhang nodded and said, "I hope your idea is right! But why did I hear that the Indian Ocean Fleet is heading to Singapore for reinforcements?"

Ye Zugui said: "The main force of the Indian Ocean Fleet has long been assigned to the Asian fleet. Among the British warships we attacked, there must be warships of the Indian Ocean Fleet. I think the Indian Ocean Fleet that came to reinforce this time will not be very powerful. The old-fashioned warships are just giving us more wine and dishes." Lin Jianzhang smiled and said: "It seems that the Chief of Staff is full of confidence!"

Ye Zugui smiled and said, "That's natural! If it weren't for this sneak attack, I'd probably be worried. After all, there are too many British warships, and we are tigers and we can't stand the wolves! Now, if we kill one-third of the Asian fleet in one sneak attack, we will naturally have a clear idea in our hearts." Lin Jianzhang smiled and said, "Oh, Britain is probably crazy this time, maybe why are we scolding us behind our backs!"

Ye Zugui smiled and said, "Soldiers are treacherous, what can they say?"

Lin Jianzhang said: "That is the military tactic of our ancestors. Westerners do not popularize Sun Tzu's art of war. They think sneak attacks are shameless behaviors."

Ye Zugui snorted coldly and said, "What do they think? We can win this war, and it's easy to say if we win!"

Lin Jianzhang said: "That's right! I agree with this! History is written by the victor, and it makes sense no matter what you say! I believe Your Majesty's famous saying "Justice and justice are only valid within the range of the cannon.

Ye Zugui stroked the white bulkhead made of stainless steel and said, "I really want to see her power, but Lyons doesn't give us this face!"

Lin Jianzhang smiled and said, "Don't worry! No matter how old and cunning the fox are, you have to obey the tiger. As long as the British commander can't help it, Lyons, the old fox, will come out to die!"

At this time, the communications consultant suddenly reported: "The report was that the intercepting of the British Command sent to the British Asian fleet was a radio telegram."

"Remember!" Lin Jianzhang turned around, and Ye Zugui and other officers also listened attentively.

"The British Command ordered the commander of the Asian Fleet Lyons to quickly reinforce Hong Kong. The Indian Ocean Fleet will pass through the Strait of Malacca on the morning of the 20th. At that time, it will cooperate with the Asian Fleet to carry out a breakthrough operation." Lin Jianzhang laughed and said, "Look, come whatever you want!"

Ye Zugui took the telegram and read it, signed the letter and gave it to the intelligence consultant, and then said to Lin Jianzhang: "This is the third urging order. Youdao is just three things, and this time Lyons will definitely come out." Lin Jianzhang breathed a long sigh and said: "Do you think the British are too stupid, or are we too smart? The British intelligence has no secrets to us. It seems that there is no meaning to fight this war, right?"

Ye Zugui smiled and said, "You are still good at taking advantage of it!"

The two laughed a few times, and Lin Jianzhang said, "I heard that this radio breaking technology was made by the one named Tesla? Why do you think he is so capable?"

Ye Zugui smiled and said, "You have to ask him about this?"

Then Ye Zugui said, "But then again, if there were no Tesla, we would probably have to rely on flag language to command now."

Lin Jianzhang nodded, suddenly thought of something, and asked: "This time the communication and communication jamming ship Pipa Jing sent to us by the Admiralty Department. I'm so cautious that I can't help but listen to this one. Is it OK? Don't be serious, she will let me down!" The Pipa Jing Qiu mentioned by Lin Jianzhang is the latest research result of the Beiyang Science and Technology Radio Laboratory of the Chinese Empire. Due to Tesla's super high ability in the radio field, the Emperor of the Chinese Empire, Chenhao, told him about his ideas about radio detection, monitoring, interception, shielding, interference, etc., and Tesla immediately started to study it.

Marconi, also an expert in radio, was appointed as Tesla's deputy. The two jointly studied technical issues such as radio interception, monitoring, detection, shielding and interference.

After several years of research, the simplest wireless interference technology has made breakthroughs, which can interfere with radio signals in a certain area, making it impossible for them to communicate. At the same time, in order to prevent the radios in this area from being interfered with, Tesla divided a series of bō segments, which only interfered with each bō segment. When the enemy communicates in the Abō segment, it turns on Abō segment interference, and its side uses the unaffected Bō segment.

Of course, this is just the primary interference technology, but the Navy Department highly appreciates it. For this purpose, the Navy Department commissioned the Navy Shipyard and Beiyang Technology to jointly build a communication ship and equipped with a high-power radio interference system.

During the sea trial, the officials of the Admiral Department called it a nasal spirit funny. As a result, members of the naming committee thought the name was good, so they named it with the Pipa spirit.

Ye Zugui said: "Don't worry! I have confirmed this with the Admiralty. They said that this Pipa Jing has been tested for more than two years and can intercept any radio signal within a radius of 500 kilometers, and can interfere with its frequency to interrupt its radio communication. The radio system equipped by the British Asian fleet will be paralyzed during wartime."

Lin Jianzhang nodded and said, "If it is really as magical as they said, it is a good thing! When the battle is at its most critical moment, it can be miraculous. I am afraid that this thing is not reliable, so don't interfere with our communications!" Ye Zugui smiled and said, "Don't worry about this! The high-power radio jammer of Pipa Jing will not interfere with our fleet's internal communication channels and will not affect our command."

Lin Jianzhang nodded and said, "That's good! In recent years, we have more and more new equipment. To be honest, I have seen it!" Ye Zugui agreed, "Yes! Beiyang Technology's annual funding is as high as 90 million, and top scientists and engineers from all walks of life who have been searched from all over the world are with them. If we can't achieve some results, it's really unreasonable. I heard that this radio interference technology was also made by Tesla."

Lin Jianzhang said in surprise: "Then isn't this guy becoming a sperm?" Ye Zugui laughed and said: "I heard that this guy only slept for two hours a day and didn't get close to women. He really became a sperm?"
