Chapter 534 Full Interception

"Father, I want to protest!"

Emperor Li and several wives talked around the stove. Before they hooked up with who to sleep tonight, Li Shan, the second son, who was already a little strong young man, rushed in.

"Protest?" Li Mo pricked up his ears and was full of energy.

No one has dared to say this word to him as an emperor over the years. It's so new! So immediately, the horse and golden knife crossed his body, picked up the love ginseng tea, put on the majesty of being a father, and asked, "What are you protesting against?" Say, the father will make the decision for you.

"I want to protest to you. Why can the royal brother and sister find someone they like and ask me to marry that Persian cat?"

"Puff~!"

Emperor Li sprayed a mouthful of ginseng tea on the ground. Several women next to him laughed and turned upside down. Fang Xianqi was even more embarrenched. She pulled Li Shan and said antonically, "Shan'er, what nonsense are you talking about? What a Persian cat? She is a princess."

"What's wrong with the princess? I don't like it." Li Shan pouted and was obviously very angry with his father who arranged his marriage.

Cough!

Emperor Li coughed dryly: "How do you talk? Uncle Xiufeng has seen that princess. She is very beautiful and smart. What's wrong with her?"

"Then let the royal brother marry him. Why do you want me?" Li Shan showed no weakness: "Father, aren't you against arranged marriage? You also wrote an article saying that marriage must be voluntary, and now I want to be free.

"Freedom!" Emperor Li was angry and pointed to Fang Xianqi and said, "Look, don't you and your mother and I don't know each other when we are married? Now we don't respect each other. Besides, as a child of the royal family, sometimes we have to make sacrifices!"

"Then why did you make me sacrifice my appearance?"

"Do you sacrifice color? It's the other hand!" Li Mo's forehead is black. Why does this boy talk so much like himself? Is it possible to instill more knowledge in future generations? Sacrifice the hue! Oh, ah, I'm going to help you find a woman and let the princess of the future super oil country do belly dance for you. If you don't thank me, you still protest. What's the matter?

Li Shan's words attracted several women to giggle. Duan Yueer quietly pinched Emperor Li and cut out his eyes fiercely, which meant, "It's all his usual education. Now he regret it."

In fact, Li Mo's marriage was also a temporary intention, because according to the intelligence department's analysis of Ibn Saud, he found that this person liked this way very much, so he thought of doing what he wanted, and after unifying the peninsula with his own support, he would definitely establish a unified Saudi kingdom, so he could borrow A marriage to bring the world's largest oil country to its own side is extremely important to Xinhua's future strategy.

It's just that it's not good to have an arranged marriage, and over the years, both the political axe and him have written articles against the arranged marriage. Unexpectedly, this boy's hair has not yet grown up, and he actually came back with his original words.

So I had to say patiently, "Shan'er, this is different from arranged marriage. Neizhi is very important to us, and you should know that many times war can't solve the problem. When you grow up, you will understand my painstakingness."

"Then why don't you let your brother marry her? Anyway, our Xinhua does not stipulate monogamy. Li Shan still couldn't figure it out. He wanted to say a few words, but he was stopped by Fang Xianqi and said, "Shan'er, don't mess around."

"Well, you get along with the princess first. Anyway, you are still young and your studies are the first priority. If you think it's really bad in the future, I won't object to you marrying again, okay?"

"Good, father, you have to keep your word." Li Shan pouted angrily and walked out. As he walked, he muttered, "I'd like to see what's good about that kitten."

"This little bastard! Isn't the Persian cat good?" Seeing his son leave, Emperor Li was finally relieved and muttered to himself, "I still want to have a cat!"

"Huh?"

As soon as the words fell, there was a thorn in his back, which made Emperor Li stand up and hurriedly laughed: "I'm talking about a kitten, a real little Persian cat."

Li Mo said as he lowered his palm and repeatedly compared the volume of the cat, but those beautiful eyes were still full of doubts, which made him feel dry and half of the ginseng tea left. But as soon as he came to his mouth, he suddenly remembered Li Shan's words just now and asked in surprise, "by the way, does Le Ning have someone he likes?"

"Humph!" Miss Duan's eyes were white and said in a delicate voice, "I know how to keep a cat, and I don't even know that my daughter has grown up."

"Ha ha, if you don't raise it, you definitely won't raise it." Emperor Li waved his hand seriously and asked, "Le Ning has a good look at that boy?" It's not you. Take her to Shanghai to fool around. Duan Yueer twisted Li Mo again and asked, "Tay it to me, what does Zhu Houbin do?"

Duan Yueer's words reminded Li Mo of Zhu Houbin, the first ace pilot to shake hands with Le Ning on the dock. He couldn't help sighing that the time passed too quickly. He took Yueer into his arms with a smile. Just as he was about to introduce, a rapid footsteps interrupted the warm family atmosphere in the room.

Li Mo let go of the struggling Yueer and turned his head to see that Li Enfu had come in with a serious face.

"Your Majesty, I just received a telegram that the fleet led by Sang Hanmin was forcibly detained by two British cruisers when they were preparing to pass through the Suez Canal this morning!" -

"Squeak."

The galloping jeep stopped at the gate of the Honolulu First Fleet Command.

Before the car stopped, Ji Rushan, who hurried to receive the phone call, rushed down with his military uniform. Looking at the staff who was waiting for him at the door, he put on his clothes and asked, "What's wrong?"

"I just received the telegram, and the general reference asked us to immediately raise the alert level to orange." The staff officer followed him to open the document and said quickly, "In addition, the military department also sent a telegram, ordering all surface ships that are tracking British and French warships to immediately carry out a comprehensive interception!"

"Orange? Full interception!"

Ji Rushan's body was slightly stunned. Since the establishment of the new five-level early warning system three years ago, even the last confrontation in the Strait of Hormuz has not been promoted to such a high level. You know, this is second only to the Red War, and it is also necessary to fully intercept the British and French warships that are searching for Spee! What happened?

"The British navy seized the Oriental Princess and our other three cruise ships off the coast of Egypt!"

"Setain the Royal fleet!"

Ji Rushan finally knew why the general ginseng did this. No matter when and where, the arrest of the royal fleet of a big country is enough to cause a huge disturbance. What's more, the European war is still in full play, and Britain has been slapped in the face continuously by Spee. How can the proud British Imperial Navy swallow this breath? It must be borrowed. Wave it!

However, he did not think that for Britain, which is already trapped in Europe, without the support of the United States, he could not afford to play the huge new Pacific front!

So if Britain really wants to fight, then the United States will definitely intervene!

Ji Rushan's brain is running rapidly. He knows his goal, that is, the newly renamed U.S. Pacific Fleet, to ensure that the empire's interests in the eastern Pacific are not infringed.

After entering the intelligence and command center, Ji Rushan immediately saw Lin Taizeng, the chief of staff of the fleet who came first. Both of them were not in the mood to greet each other and immediately rushed to the three-dimensional chart the size of five or six tables.

Standing in front of the map and looking down, the whole Pacific Ocean seems to be condensed, and the island reefs are clearly visible. In addition to these are more dense red boat models everywhere, that is, they keep entering the Pacific Ocean and searching for nearly a hundred British and French naval warships of Spee's fleet.

Looking at these warships, Ji Rushan couldn't help frowning. Because surveillance and intelligence are not very timely, the above data is only a reference, but several key main fleets are very clear.

"Ha ha, it seems that we are going to be busy." Lin Tai once smiled and pointed to the three larger models scattered in the Lane Islands and said, "Invincible, indomitable, indomitable, are searching west along here."

Finger to the east, moved near the Colon Islands in Ecuador: "The British Uruguayan fleet has arrived here."

"In addition, there are four American armored cruisers in Yokohama, three British cruisers have been detected off the coast of Mexico, and two French cruisers in the Marshall Islands."

"What about us?" Ji Rushan immediately asked.

"The light patrols of Yangtze River and Jinghai are monitoring the Uruguayan fleet. The battleships Yanjing and Jilin are monitoring three invincible warships with two light patrols, Nujiang and Yaruzangbujiang. In addition, the battleships Hebei and Hunan are returning from Ryukyu. They are currently located in the Ogasawara Islands, and the remaining 20 destroyers. Surveillance missions are being carried out everywhere.

The staff continued: "In addition, the General Staff has asked the Third Fleet to support us, led by General Lefei and a training mother ship!"

"Hehe, this cold-faced guy is finally back." After listening to the general situation, Ji Rushan smiled, looked at Lin Taizeng, and asked, "Ke Shi, do you think the British really know how to do it?"

Lin Tai once shook his head, picked up the putter, and put it heavily on the largest naval base on the west coast of the United States: "I don't know, but it depends on the United States!"

"Humph!" Looking at the British and French warships scattered in the Pacific Ocean, Ji Rushan snorted coldly.

"Command." -

"Middle General."

"Mt. Gen. Steddy!"

The banging sound from outside the hatch disturbed Lieutenant General Frederick Steddy, who was resting, and made him slightly surprised. Did he find Spee and his fleet?

He was immediately excited when he thought of this, because he had been in this area for a long time after crossing the Panama Canal with three invincible battlecruisers.

But when he opened the hatch, he knew that it was not good news.

"Lt. General, the Invincible has just sent a telegram. The Chinese battleship that monitored them has just taken the initiative to approach 16,000 yards and tried to block the way forward many times."

"In addition, the insperable side is also blocked by two Chinese cruisers!"

"What's going on?" Lieutenant General Steddy didn't expect it. He didn't wait to find the news of Shi Pei, but he heard the telegram of the Chinese intercepting his two battlecruisers.

Since he took the fleet through the Panama Canal, the Chinese warships have been following him, but the two sides have been safe for almost a month. What angered them to make a provocative interception?

When he walked into the bridge with doubt, the exclamation suddenly interrupted all the reverie.

"Three o'clock, Chinese battleship!"

"God, they are turning the muzzle!"
