My future is invincible?

Chapter 44 Ignorance and Incompetence
When Lan Yi floated up from the sea, he faced the azure sky and couldn't help revealing a look of satisfaction. It turned out that occasionally stretching the muscles and bones is good for physical and mental health.

And all around him.

Either they were lifeless warships without any breath of life, or they were wreckage that had been split in two, emitting their dying moans amid the ups and downs of the waves.

The thick black smoke seemed to be the trace of corpses being burned. The smoke column reached the sky, announcing to the cities or merchant ships in all directions that could overlook the sea that the war was over... Of course, perhaps they thought that it might have just begun, and Lan Yi happened to think so too.

Chen Qimei once reported this to Lan Yi.

This punitive fleet is almost all of the empire's surface forces in the north of the Milky Way.

After losing their interference in the southern coast of Xinghan, the foreigners will certainly mobilize their available forces to interfere with the rising military groups in the south.

This is typical of the imperial powers’ way of thinking.

In their view, even if they cannot stop the rise of the warrior group, they will act as a troublemaker to make the warrior group live comfortably. This is a military-based, economic-assisted means, and the marginal action is to conduct a tentative survey of the warriors and destroy their production capacity.

World War I is about to break out.

The great empires did not want to create a quagmire in the Far East that would distract their precious energy.

Instead, they hoped that the Punishment Fleet heading south from the North could drag the Warrior Group to the negotiating table, and use bargaining chips to tie down this incredibly fast-rising force with economic means as a collar.

But I never expected it.

This interference force, which according to common sense should not have been defeated so easily, had ample maneuvering space along the coast of Xinghan and a fleet at a port for rear logistics replenishment. However, it was completely wiped out efficiently. Even before they were completely wiped out, not a single decent piece of information could be transmitted to Yanjing in time.

For the Northern Combat Command.

The punitive fleet started at some point and suddenly lost contact.

Before that, the last message sent back by the Punishment Fleet was: something came from the sky in the south, like a white rainbow or a meteor, and that thing stopped above the enemy ship.

Then all contact was lost in an instant.

No telegrams were ever sent back from the Punishment Fleet to the Yanjing Command Center.

At first the command center thought it was a radio failure or natural interference. The Punishment Fleet, busy with the war, might be pursuing the victory and still maintaining contact. However, the last telegram sent back by the Punishment Fleet before losing contact still cast an ominous shadow over the Yanjing Command Center.

A rising group of warriors in the southern part of Xinghan.

Do they already have some kind of air strike capability?

You have to know that even for the great empires, the concept of related air strike forces is still only a paper plan. Using air force to deal with warships in the ocean is a science fiction military concept.

Fifth hour of loss of contact.

The Yanjing Command finally realized the seriousness of the problem.

The Punishment Fleet had 57 warships of various types and over 10,000 crew members of various types. They had lost contact for such a long time, which could not be explained by radio failure or natural interference. The Punishment Fleet, which was formed by the united powers, must have encountered something beyond its expectations.

At this time, the arrogant foreigners in the Yanjing Command had not yet considered the possibility of the fleet being destroyed. The reason was very simple.

Even if they couldn't fight, they could always run, right? What could stop an ironclad ship that was determined to escape?

Could it be that this ancient and corrupt land really has an epic weapon that can release ten suns to descend from the sky, just like the myths and legends of Sindhu?

Tenth hour of loss of contact.

The foreigners in Yanjing, who were already anxious, angry, irritated, and fearful of the unknown, took action.

Their action is... to vent first.

It declared martial law in Yanjing and other areas, and sent a letter to denounce the incompetence and instigation of the current dynasty, which led to the emergence of dangerous rebels in the south and seriously threatened the lives, safety and property of the expatriates of the great powers in China. In this matter, the Qing court has an unshirkable responsibility and must be prepared to bear the consequences!
With such harsh words, the murderous army was in the name of martial law, but in fact it was indulging itself in pleasure. The imperial army stood still and did nothing.

The officials of the dynasty, who were already terminally ill with xenophobia, knelt down directly.

They really don't know what happened in the South.

Besides, the governors in the south were all flirting with the imperial powers. In name, they were still under the rule of the Qing court, but in reality, they were out of control and were just short of becoming their own kings. This kind of weakening of the imperial court's majesty was always something the imperial powers were happy to see when they supported their agents, but they did not expect to shoot themselves in the foot.

Maybe you guys were the ones who supported the traitor Huo Yuanjia and the evildoer Lan Yi, and now they are in trouble, right?
Of course, the princes and ministers did not dare to say this directly. They could only think about it in their hearts. They still begged in every possible way, abandoning their dignity, hoping that friendly countries would not be surprised, stop for a while, and it would not be too late to impose martial law after investigating the matter thoroughly.

We, the great Chinese, will never do anything unreasonable, despicable or sneak attack.

Thousands of words and fancy words turned into five big words: Dad! Please stop hitting me!
It turns out.

When someone is looking for a reason to beat you, even if you cry your heart out and say you really didn't do it, they will still beat you without mercy, and the copper-headed leather belt will fly.

The three-year-old emperor sitting on the throne knew nothing.

I don’t understand what happened outside the palace walls.

He looked ignorantly at the ministers who were crying bitterly, and at the flames and thick smoke rising far outside the palace wall. He heard a minister sobbing in despair and saying that he might lose his position and the throne he had ruled for another 290 years.

Why can’t it be saved?
Isn't the throne here? Isn't the country always there? If someone really dares to come and grab it, then he...then he will ask that uncle who is good at fighting and has a foot disease to come back and beat the bad guys!

For the first time the little emperor felt angry.

His anger was like that of a wolf cub, ignorantly showing its half-grown rotten fangs in the shadow of a huge monster and a huge position.

Twenty-fourth hour since loss of contact.

Finally there is news about the Punishment Fleet!
The foreigners at the Yanjing Command finally got information from an agent in Jinling during the carnival and indulgence. Not long after the agent sent this telegram, his mansion was raided and controlled by a group of warriors, and the second Lei Chi Fairy Lotus bloomed above the Jinling Power Plant.

The whole city is in awe of such a great achievement!
The punitive fleet heading south has been completely wiped out!
The man-eating demon has set out from Puhai!

Heading north along the railway line! He is coming, he is already here! He is Lan Yi!!
