Three hundred and twentieth chapters tempting trap
Fang Xiaoyu did not disappoint Sun Xiaohu. The new warship was soon in place. Sun Xiaohu looked at the beautiful appearance and huge main gun of his new flagship, and he was extremely excited.
"How is it? Young Master is definitely not to treat you." Zhang Haiyang, who came with the ship, smiled and patted Sun Xiaohu on the shoulder. He came over to transport the warship to Sun Xiaohu. By the way, Zhang Haiyang also wanted to see this
What's going on with an old guy?
Sun Xiaohu stood in front of him with his eyes fixed on his eyes and nodded, "Yes, such a good warship is really great."
Sun Xiaohu immediately saw the eight huge main guns on the warship. He asked in confusion: "So many main guns, are they..."
Zhang Haiyang nodded and said, "That's right, this is the latest Chinese-class battleship in our Chinese Empire. There are four of them in total, and they are all brought to you."
Sun Xiaohu said in surprise: "Don't our Chinese Empire only have these four Chinese-class battleships? I gave them all, what should I do if the Eastern Ocean Fleet?"
Zhang Haiyang smiled and said, "It's okay, just use it with peace of mind. In another half a year, the second batch of four Chinese-class battleships will be launched. The latest level of battleships have also started construction. According to the young master's opinion, this level is
Ten battleships need to be built, which is the most first-class battleships built by our Chinese Empire. Of course, how many ships to be built in the end depends on the actual situation, but unless there are better warships, the number of constructions will be greater or less."
Sun Xiaohu smiled and said, "This shows that the young master has indeed made a fortune through the full-scale war in the Western Continent. He actually made the iron cockerel traveling in East China like this and built so many large warships."
Zhang Haiyang looked around and whispered: "I also heard that we were going to build four aircraft carriers, which are said to be larger than our battleships."
"It's bigger than a battleship? How big a caliber do you need to install?" Sun Xiaohu said in surprise.
Zhang Haiyang smiled and patted Sun Xiaohu on the shoulder and said, "You have been away from the Eastern Continent for too long. Now our Chinese Empire's technology is changing with each passing day. It's no longer your old mind can keep up. I think you should read more books.
Now, the young master personally published the internal magazine of this army called "The Age of New Arms", you should check it out."
Sun Xiaohu said: "When you go back, I'm going to send me more, I want to see more, but what is the aircraft carrier you are talking about for?"
Zhang Haiyang said: "The aircraft carrier is said to be a take-off and landing aircraft. I only know that it does not have a main gun. As for how to fight, I don't know much about it."
Sun Xiaohu smiled and said, "I've been blowing for a long time, so you don't know either."
Zhang Haiyang rolled his eyes and said, "Anyway, the young master said it's very powerful. According to the young master, the main force of the navy will be this aircraft carrier in the future. You have to learn more. If you can't keep up with the trend, you probably will remove your position."
Sun Xiaohu nodded: "I must strengthen my studies, but now I'll enjoy the majesty of the Chinese-class battleship first, haha."
Fang Xiaoyu spent all his money to expand the Southern Ocean Fleet this time. He sent all the main battleships of the Chinese Empire, including four "Chinese"-class battleships, four "Wanghai"-class heavy cruisers and eight "Swordfish"
Class destroyers and up to ten Seawolf 2 submarines, the Southern Ocean Fleet can be said to have reached the sky in one step.
The rapid expansion of the Southern Ocean Fleet's strength made the Saar Empire's navy anxious in his eyes, but now they can't draw out many extra warships to reinforce the Eastern Continental Fleet, and they can only pray that the Chinese Empire will not join the Allies.
After losing eight main warships, the Eastern Continental Fleet of the Saar Empire had completely become a local garrison fleet. They could only hide in Tamsui Port and did not dare to support the colony of the Zhanxi Kingdom, which was gradually being eroded.
The situation of the Nantes Empire was also difficult. A few years ago, their naval policy mistakes caused the entire navy to have no large ships available. After the war began, the Nantes Empire had to collect all the warships with slightly larger colonies back to their country for use.
Now their colonial army can only be on Sumen Island and dare not come out. At present, their navy in the Eastern Continent is not as good as the Saar Empire. His few old gunboats and torpedo boats are called naval fleets.
It would be more appropriate to call them the shore defense fleet.
The naval structure of the Southern Ocean has undergone earth-shaking changes unknowingly. The Southern Ocean Fleet of the Chinese Empire led by Sun Xiaohu has become the undisputed first naval force in the Southern Ocean.
The Zhanxi Kingdom owned four Lanting-class battleships and eight cruisers of the same river class purchased from the Chinese Empire, plus eight warships seized from the Saar Navy, and they had quickly jumped to the Second Navy in the Southern Ocean.
For the Zhanxi Kingdom that Fang Xiaoyu quickly supported, although Vina II became his godsister, he would not be unprepared for it.
All newly established troops in the Kingdom of Zhanxi are in the hands of the instructors of the Chinese Empire who secretly joined the nationality of Zhanxi. There are also many Chinese Empire sailors in the naval fleet to control them in the name of assistance. The deputy of the key departments are all from the Chinese Empire. In fact,
The power is also in their hands.
Economically, the Chinese Empire's numerous investments in the Western Kings of Zhanxi tied the Western Kings to the chariot of the Eastern Ocean Alliance. The most amazing thing is the incident of burying Xiao Cheng intentionally, and also
It is the case that the governor of the Sar Empire and the soldiers of the army were buried alive.
This incident was intentional by Fang Xiaoyu, so the Saar Empire and the Zhanxi Kingdom became mortal enemies. Even if the Saar royal family agreed to recruit the Zhanxi Kingdom, as long as Fang Xiaoyu released a little news in the Saar Empire, their
There will be a lot of trouble in the country.
Unless their government wants to be overthrown by the people, they will never hurt the people's feelings and the alliance between the Zhanxi Kingdom, which will block the road to the Zhanxi Kingdom's foreign alliance. As for the Yaman Empire, their power cannot be extended.
Come to the Southern Ocean.
Fang Xiaoyu began to accelerate his naval renewal plan at this time, and all old warships were eliminated. Except for the four Lanting-class battleships sold to the Zhanxi Kingdom, the remaining two were together with four cruisers of the same river.
They were sold to the Kingdom of Oahu.
Four Northern-class battleships were sold to the St. Martin Empire, but the first ship of the Lanting-class battleship sold to the St. Martin Empire was bought back by Fang Xiaoyu. It will be anchored in Quanzhou Port after renovation.
The first naval education base and military theme park in the Chinese Empire.
Fang Xiaoyu unconsciously drew a major loophole in his navy in the East Continent. However, the Chinese Empire had no battleships on the eastern continent for a time. At this time, he had been guarding the Chinese Empire.
The Chinese Empire was eyeing the Japanese, which was too stubborn and unrestrained, began to live a life of heart.
The chief of the Japanese Navy, Yamamoto, angrily threw a document on the table of the military commander Naoshima Oshima. Naoshima Oshima seemed to have not seen it, and still squinted his eyes and savored the tea in his hand.
Yamamoto Honbuki: "Why did you reject my proposal to attack the Chinese Empire?"
Naoshima Oshima did not answer immediately, but drank the tea in his hand in a small sip, then put the tea cup on the table, wiped his hands with a towel, and then asked, "Do you think we can defeat the Chinese Empire?"
”
Yamamoto Kobei slapped his hands on the table and said, "I am sure to annex the Hokkien Kingdom and force the Chinese Empire to negotiate with us so that we can gain huge benefits."
Naoshima Oshima shook his head and said, "Yamamoto, we have been friends for many years. I don't want to dispel your enthusiasm, but our country is too small compared to the Chinese Empire. We have no hope of victory at all."
Yamamoto Honbuki said: "I know this, but now is the best time for us to defeat them. There is a vacuum of strength in their Eastern Ocean Navy. There is no battleship of the Chinese Empire cruising here, and this vacuum must at least
It will only be filled in half a year to a year. As long as we make good use of this period, we can gain huge benefits."
Naoshima Oshima stood up and walked around the room for two rounds and said, "But in this way, we are really too risky. Once we are defeated, we will be in a state of no return."
Yamamoto Honbuki said: "I also know that there are some risks, but this is our only choice. If we miss this opportunity, our country will be suppressed forever and will never become a powerful country. Instead of accepting a hopeless future, I
I would rather fight now, even if I die, I will be willing."
Naoshima said, "But if we die, it's a small matter. If the empire defeats me, how can I explain to His Majesty?"
Yamamoto Honbuki said: "If we don't take action, we will not be able to explain in the future. Fight, if we win, we will be the heroes of the empire. If we lose, I will be the scapegoat, just like Commander Ito back then."
In order to strengthen the other party's confidence, he then added: "Since the establishment of our military government, a large amount of funds have been transferred to military construction, especially the navy has become very large. If these weapons cannot bring war to us
The bonus, their maintenance costs will crush us, and we have to fight now."
Naoshima Oshima knew that what Yamamoto said was reasonable. Using military industry to drive the economy has such disadvantages. Although it worked very well in the early stage, when the military power has developed to a certain extent, if the entire economy cannot obtain the benefits of war from the outside, the entire economy will be
There is a risk of collapse.
Naoshima sighed and said, "That's all. If we really defeated us, it would be meaningless."
"Yes, Mr. Minister, I will do my best to serve Your Majesty." Yamamoto Honbuki immediately stood up and stood attentively.
Naoshima nodded: "Since we have decided to start a war, we must strive to win with all our might, and the Army will closely cooperate with you."
