This matter was so urgent that Fang Xiaoyu had no time to spare. As soon as he heard the news, he ordered the military to prepare for travel. He quickly boarded the heavy cruiser of the Chinese Navy and headed straight for the Bataan area.
Xiaoyu was extremely anxious on the ship, fearing that if he could not reach his destination, things would be irreversible. But fortunately, what he was carrying was China's new generation of 'Wanghai' class heavy cruiser. This cruiser was originally designed to be very fast.
At 25 knots, the later use of steam turbines and heavy oil boilers not only greatly reduced the warship's supply needs, but also increased its speed. At this time, the speed of this cruiser with a displacement of more than 6,000 tons had reached 28 knots.
, with the cruiser traveling at high speed throughout the entire journey, Fang Xiaoyu arrived from Lushun Port to Lakou Port in the Batan area within a few days, which can be said to be the fastest speed at sea in this era.
"Young master, you are here." Zhang Zhonglin, the military chief in the Batan area, was leading a group of officers to the dock to greet him in person. When he saw Fang Xiaoyu walking down the gangway, he was the first to greet him.
Just getting off the boat, Fang Xiaoyu didn't care about being polite. He asked directly: "How is the situation in the Kingdom of Jhansi now? Is there any latest situation?"
Zhang Zhonglin said: "The situation is very tense. According to internal intelligence, the Queen of Jhansi is determined to have her own way and must send troops to recover the colony."
Fang Xiaoyu said: "Prepare your trip immediately. I want to get to Delhi, the capital of the Kingdom of Jhansi, as quickly as possible."
Zhang Zhonglin said in surprise: "Master, is this possible? We need to notify the other party in advance before we can send troops to escort you into the country."
Fang Xiaoyu said: "It's too late. Let the Second Army of the Guards open the way in front. I don't believe anyone dares to stop me."
"Lord, please be patient. I can take you and your troops to Delhi safely." A woman's voice sounded from behind Zhang Zhonglin. Fang Xiaoyu looked up and found a woman wearing the traditional costume of the Kingdom of Jhansi.
He is very similar to Lena III.
"You are..." Fang Xiaoyu felt that he should know her name.
The woman saluted Fang Xiaoyu and said with a smile: "My name is Ramisiwani, and Her Majesty the Queen took my name to see the lord last time."
"Ah, you are Sister Lian Na's substitute." Fang Xiaoyu said in surprise.
Rameshwani nodded and added: "She is also her biological sister."
Fang Xiaoyu nodded and said, "No wonder you look so similar. It turns out you are her biological sister."
Rameshwani smiled and said: "This is the tradition of the Jhansi royal family. In this way, even if Her Majesty is really killed, another one can quietly take over the throne without bringing any harm to the country.
Come to turmoil.”
Fang Xiaoyu smiled and said: "This is really a good idea, but your way of thinking is wrong."
Rameshwani wondered: "What does this have to do with the way of thinking?"
Fang Xiaoyu smiled and said: "Why don't you think about how to govern the country more powerfully, but only think about these remedial measures? This is abandoning the basic and chasing the last."
Ramisilvani suddenly said: "No wonder you can develop the territory so powerfully. This way of thinking and your strong self-confidence should be the important reasons."
Fang Xiaoyu said: "Now is not the time to talk about this. Since you can take me into the Kingdom of Jhansi, let's set off immediately."
Ramisilvani smiled and said: "The lord is very concerned about my sister, okay, let's get on the road immediately."
Fang Xiaoyu said awkwardly: "We are allies, we should, we should."
Fang Xiaoyu then said to Zhang Zhonglin: "Bring me all the new equipment that was just issued to your Second Army. I will take a mechanized infantry division and a baggage brigade on the road and prepare immediately."
"Yes, Master." Zhang Zhonglin immediately went to mobilize the troops.
Sitting on the bulletproof jeep with a sealed roof, Ramisilvani looked around curiously. Through the rear window, she looked at the thick curtain of the neat off-road truck compartment behind the vehicle, the heavy artillery towed behind the vehicle, and the roof.
The machine guns set up everywhere are so novel.
Rameshwani asked strangely: "Is this the secret weapon of your Chinese leader?"
Fang Xiaoyu smiled and said: "Of course, the troops have just been equipped this year, and only the Guards and the Iron-Blooded Army have them."
Ramisiwani said: "I don't know much about your military system. How many people do you have in your Guards and Iron-blooded Army?"
Fang Xiaoyu did not hide this girl. After all, these numerical matters are not a secret. As long as you pay a little attention, you will know. He explained patiently: "There are about 450,000 people in the nine armies of the Guards and the four armies of the Iron-blooded Army.
About two hundred thousand, that’s all.”
Rameshwani took a breath when he heard this and said: "With so many people, if our Kingdom of Jhansi had one hundred thousand, not fifty thousand, such a sophisticated army, we would be invincible in the world."
Fang Xiaoyu said with a smile: "No piece of equipment can be invincible. Only by making good use of it can it give the enemy a fatal blow. What's more, these are just transitional equipment I give to the troops. In my mind, a strong army is far from being so weak."
equipment."
Lamisilwani was speechless after hearing this. She could no longer imagine what kind of weapon was the most powerful weapon in Fang Xiaoyu's mind. Somehow, a trace of curiosity about Fang Xiaoyu arose in her heart, and she also
Mixed with a little bit of adoration.
The Patan area is only a thousand kilometers away from Delhi. Rameshwani used the stolen Queen's Warrant to allow Fang Xiaoyu's troops to go straight to Delhi unimpeded and arrived there in three days.
"Sister Lian Na, you are well." Fang Xiaoyu walked into the palace of Lian Na III with a smile.
Lian Na III looked at Fang Xiaoyu standing in front of her in surprise and said, "Why are you here?"
Fang Xiaoyu said: "I came here to stop you because I heard that you were planning to take risks."
Lian Na III snorted and said: "It must be that dead girl Ramisiwani who told you."
Fang Xiaoyu smiled and said: "She is also doing this to save you."
"Save me? I'm very good and don't need anyone to save me." Lian Na III said angrily.
Fang Xiaoyu restrained his smile and said: "Don't be so arrogant. Do you know that your actions may push this country into the abyss of destruction? It will become a colony of great powers and a plaything of the powerful powers in the Western Continent. Your people will be mercilessly killed."
Massacre, your property will be plundered, do you want this?"
Lian Na III was stunned for a moment when she saw Fang Xiaoyu suddenly put on a serious face and said: "Don't scare me with alarmist talk. I have not been idle in the past few years. I eliminated all the nobles who resisted me, and used the weapons you gave me to train them.
With a strong army, I have enough strength to take back my own land."
Fang Xiaoyu shook his head and said: "You said you were a frog in the well back then, but you are still a frog in the well now. Do you think you will be powerful with those weapons? Do you think that no one in the Kingdom of Jhansi can resist you, and you will be invincible?"
Lian Na III said: "Our Zhanxi Kingdom has a vast territory and a population of hundreds of millions. Of course I can be invincible in the world, isn't it?"
Fang Xiaoyu shook his head: "Wrong, absolutely wrong. Having more people does not mean being stronger. If you go to war with the Saar Empire, do you have good enough transportation lines and enough vehicles to transport supplies to the front line?"
"This..." Lian Na III hesitated a little. She knew that a rifle without bullets was not even as good as a fire stick, and the Kingdom of Jhansi has always been an agricultural country with very primitive road construction.
Fang Xiaoyu asked again: "Do you have enough artillery to suppress the Saer Empire?" Lian Na III no longer knew how to answer him.
"Do you have a strong enough industry to ensure that you have enough weapons to arm your people and provide them with enough ammunition?" Fang Xiaoyu pressed harder: "Even if you can drive off the colonial army of the Saer Empire
The sea, you have recaptured the coastline, do you have a strong navy to ensure its safety? You must know that naval combat cannot be won by relying on a large number of people."
After listening to Fang Xiaoyu's series of questions, Lian Na III completely lost her temper. She sighed and said: "Then what do you think we should do? How should I get back the land that belongs to me and how should I drive away those invaders."
Fang Xiaoyu gently sat opposite her and said only one word: "Wait."
"Wait?" Lian Na III raised her head, her eyes already full of anger: "I have been waiting for twenty years, do you still have to wait for me? I have several more twenty years to wait."
Fang Xiaoyu said: "Unless you can be absolutely sure, you have to wait. Besides, I estimate that the opportunity will come soon."
"Really?" A glimmer of hope appeared in Lian Na III's eyes.
Fang Xiaoyu nodded: "According to my estimation, the great powers of the Western Continent may have an unprecedented war within a few years. By then, the Saer Empire will be unable to withdraw from the Western Continent. That is your chance."
After listening to Fang Xiaoyu's analysis, Lian Na III calmed down a lot. She nodded and said, "Okay, since you said so, I believe you and I'll wait."
A smile appeared on Fang Xiaoyu's face again: "That's right, I think you will succeed."
With the hope of success, Lian Na III had a smile on her face. She glanced at Fang Xiaoyu ambiguously and said, "Brother, I heard that you have married another little wife?"
Fang Xiaoyu said with a look of embarrassment: "Well, yes, I'm really sorry for not inviting my sister to the wedding banquet, but the domestic situation was quite tense at the time, so I didn't notify many people."
Lian Na III leaned over and smiled: "You already have four wives, and you don't need a sister. Why don't you just marry your sister and help me regain my territory?"
"Ah?" Fang Xiaoyu's face turned red, and he didn't know what to say: "I, um, I have something to do, so I'll leave now. I'll come see my sister when I have time."
"Come back, I have something to tell you." Lian Na III looked at Fang Xiaoyu, who was a little panicked, with a smile on his face.
