The Great Albion has been a legendary ship since its construction. Its origins start with the wooden paddlewheel steamer sailing ship "The Great Western". The Great Western was the first ship that clearly crossed the North Atlantic Ocean for the purpose of construction. During the trial voyage, he arrived from Albion directly to New York in the New World in just fourteen days and twelve hours, four days faster than his opponent.

The Great Albion is the successor of the Great West, but technological advancements have allowed the ship to use iron as the hull material. Although it was originally planned to use paddle wheels as a propeller, a new ship equipped with an innovative propulsion system, which happened to arrive in Bristo for a demonstration sailing. The designer was immediately attracted by the superiority of the spiral and immediately changed the construction plan to equip his new ship with spiral. At the same time, the new ship was officially named the Great Albion.

It is ninety-eight meters long, fifteen meters wide, and has a speed of nine knots. It can carry 350 passengers. The ship has six waterproof compartments, which makes it the safest ship at that time. The steam machine equipped can provide 1,500 horsepower and drive a six-leaf spiral. There are six mast dryers on the ship, which are used to hang sails to provide power when the machine fails. Or it is the largest and most luxurious ship in the world. The future operation record can only be described as perfect.

But the use of such a luxurious passenger ship must have been sprinkling Albion pounds into the sea. However, looking at Feici Capital's persistent eyes and thinking about his profound influence in Congress, everyone took a deep breath, and no one expressed his objection.

Fei Capital was secretly proud: "It feels so good to rent the Big Albion as a private cruise ship with public funds!"

Almost at the same time, a chase scene was being staged in the Johor Strait, two fast sailboats were swimming in the waterskiing front and back. The Albion fast sailboat behind them often played flags and asked the sailboat in front to stop for inspection, but the sailboat in front ignored it.

The Albion fleet occupying Johor has always been arrogant, and this kind of performance is performed several times a month. After all, with the Johor Fortress, the Albion people can proudly say: "Even if there are a hundred battleships, we can let them go without returning!"

The three large fleets of the Republic also regard Johor fortress as a thorn in their eyes. Every month, several reconnaissance ships travel south to inspect, and it is common to have conflicts with the Royal Navy. Now this fast sailing ship belongs to the Shen family. They rushed into the Johor port to reconnaissance and then flew away

However, the sailboat in front was getting faster and faster, and he saw that he was about to catch up. The Albion fast sailboat behind him made a loud "bang" sound, and the shells flew to the sea level, but the attack target was unscathed. However, the sailboat in front also responded to this situation. Three main guns fired shells, and then both sides began to disconnect from contact and returned to their headquarters. The reports submitted by the superiors in both directions were almost the same caliber: "The enemy ship was the first to attack me, and it was dozens of bullets. Fortunately, our ship was not shot..."

The first shot of the Three Years War began here.

Qinhuangdao.

Chen Yunjie personally visited the front line with empty hands, which immediately boosted the morale of the Zhi army. The whole army was full of morale for a while, and attacked one after another, causing the Feng army to fall into a tough battle.

Feng Rong, who was missing from the Nine Gate, heard that Chen Yunjie was coming to supervise the battle, and he had some sex with the Feng army, so he was so scared that he took a lot of sleeping pills to commit suicide.

At this time, the war broke out in Shanhaiguan and Zhuxiongyu. The Zhi army accommodated Feng Rong's 13th Brigade troops. At this time, less than half of them were the Feng army on the front line of Shanhaiguan. The Feng army attacked fiercely for three days and nights. After that, the offensive stopped slightly, but the artillery battle never stopped. However, the Feng army soon launched an offensive again.

Zhuxiongyu could only rely mainly on the newly arrived three divisions of Yue Zhonglin's Shaanxi Army (actually only has more than one division), and the newly arrived division and brigade were used on the front line of Shimenzhai. However, the Shaanxi Army and Fengtian Army fought for many days, and the casualties were severe. After four days of fierce fighting, Yue Zhonglin personally went to Shimenzhai to find Peng Shou and asked to retreat backwards. He cried and said, "The three brothers' divisions have all the casualties now! Please let me retreat to Shimenzhai!"

Peng Shou refused sternly: "No! Your troops must continue to organize resistance east of Shahe Village and wait for reinforcements to arrive! Brother Yue, we are good friends! This is true, but it is a war now. I know my friends, but I don't know my friends! Please go back quickly!"

Yue Zhonglin had no choice but to return to Zhuxiongyu to continue to resist for a day. Most of his three divisions of Shaanxi Army were his backbone forces and were quite combat-effective, especially the counter-shock attack power was quite strong and could occupy seven hills in a row. However, once it was time to eat, the Shaanxi Army gave up the seven hills. In this case, the casualties were too great. Because of Peng Shou's warning, he did not dare to return to Shimenzhai for rescue.

The next day, Zhang Buyun personally led the Feng army to launch a fierce attack on the front line with Lin Yichen's regiment. The Shaanxi army's positions were defeated. Yue Zhonglin rode a fast horse and moved first. The entire division was defeated. Yue Zhonglin did not dare to return to Shimen Village and was attacked by Peng Shou's quick knife, so he led the remaining troops back to Henan first.

With the collapse of the Shaanxi Army, the first division and brigade of the Xinzhi army were also defeated. Lin Yihe led his army into Shahe Village. The front army had already arrived at Shimen Village and immediately attacked Shimen Village. Peng Shou and Chief of Staff Li Bochun were shocked. Fortunately, the Fengtian Army's vanguard was insufficient, so Peng Shou and Li Bochun were able to bring a small number of followers to fly on horses. Everyone held revolvers, fired while riding their horses and led the remaining troops to retreat outside the south gate of Shimen Village.

Peng Shou went up to the nearby hill to observe the enemy situation. Unexpectedly, the artillery soldiers accompanied by Lin Yichen's attack had been placed in Shahe Village. The Fengtian artillery immediately discovered that a bombardment of artillery fire, and dozens of people including Peng Shou fled again and fled in scattered ways. Only Peng Shou, Li Bochun and more than ten followers were left in a hurry.

The group could only go to Liujiang Station first and accommodate soldiers at the station. Then Li Bochun held more than 800 soldiers at the Xiaobu Lao Station, organized resistance, and rushed to Chen Yunjie to quickly occupy Anminzhai. At this time, the Fengtian army attacked Xiaobu Lao Station with large troops. Li Bochun led his troops to support him for one night. Seeing that he was losing, a battalion of the Third Division arrived and rushed in to kill several times the attacks of the Fengtian army. When the subsequent troops arrived, they maintained a temporary defense line of small Bu Lao, and the focus of the war returned to the front line of Shanhaiguan.

As for the war situation of the other two armies, Wang Qing, the commander-in-chief of the Second Army, was a direct veteran. He made great contributions when Cao Ming elected the president. However, this veteran was really useless. After Cao Ming bribed the president, he promoted Wang Qing to the Recha Sui Inspection Envoy, allowing him to go to Chengde to organize the inspection envoy. On the one hand, he could stop the Fengtian army from entering the pass, and on the other hand, he could be ready to attack the northeast at any time. However, Wang Qing was reluctant to leave in Beijing. President Cao repeatedly urged him, but Wang Qing was not making any noise. One side urged him again and again, while the other side dragged him again and again. Some people were curious why Wang Qing refused to do the dignified Recha Sui Inspection Envoy?

Later I learned that there was a "Bangchui Mountain" in Chengde, and there was a local folk proverb called "Bangchui to hit the chime". "Chi" and "Qing" were homophones. Wang Qing was afraid of being unlucky and would rather not be able to Chengde. In the end, he just set up a military office of the Recha Sui Inspection Commission in Beijing, and never went to Chengde to work.

During this Zhifeng War, Chen Yunjie appointed Wang Qing as the commander-in-chief of the Second Army, and asked him to lead troops out of Xifengkou, pass through Pingquan, and Ling Yuan advanced towards Chaoyang. However, Commander-in-chief Wang had already lived a pampered life and was reluctant to suffer, so he was unable to do so.

Now, Chen Sheng fought hard on Chaoyang, and the war was very unfavorable. Chen Yunjie first urged him, and finally went to Qinhuangdao to supervise the battle. Wang Qingcai had to go out, but the departure time was set on August 7th. It turned out that he had read through the old calendar several times, and only this day was "adapted to go out to the battle". When he left the city, he went out of the city from Deshengmen. When he arrived at the station, before getting on the bus, an officer named Wang Desheng, who had a good advance, quickly ran forward and shouted loudly: "Wang Desheng welcomed the general!" After shouting, Wang Qing smiled and nodded, boarded the special car and headed for the front line.

Unfortunately, Chen Sheng's offensive was like a tide, and the Fengtian army's artillery was able to fight effectively, so Wang Qing was still defeated.

As for the Third Army, the formation was even more wonderful. The front army had reached Gubeikou, and the rear army left Xizhimen. The team was long and long, and there were only a few scattered scouts on the front line.

Chen Yunjie sent Wang Bincheng to urge him to move forward quickly, but he didn't expect that as soon as Wang Bincheng arrived at him, he said, "Chen Yunjie asked me to monitor you..."

Speaking of this, the two naturally hit it off. Wang Bincheng had already held a grudge against Chen Yunjie, so the Third Army delayed the situation. Guan Shanhe and Wang Bincheng sent telegrams all day long to demand military pay and urged bullets. Chen Yunjie had no goods, so he could only strictly order them to speed up and granted the position of Heilongjiang Governor to Guan Shanhe. As a result, Wang Bincheng learned from himself: "Being a Governor under Chen Yunjie? It's better to be a company commander!"

At this time, another new customer came to Guan Shanhe's headquarters. Although he was wearing a big dress, he had no appearance as a martial artist. His face was fair and pretty. Even his very pale hand looked very delicate, and even his nails were dyed with nail polish.

Although the combat effectiveness of the Imperial Guards is not reliable, no one dares to underestimate the huge strength of the three divisions. Wang Bincheng shouted affectionately as soon as he met: "Ship Xiang is here, and he is welcome! With the 16th Division going to fight, our chances of victory are too great!"

Xiang Shuai's tone was a bit cold: "Chen Yunjie asked me to lead the Sixteenth Division to deal with you!"

Guan Shanhe shouted: "What is Xiangshuai's opinion?"

"Standby!"
