Qianye was a little surprised at Carol's keenness and nodded, but said nothing. This involved the core control of the fleet, and the fewer people knew about it, the better. Carol was already smart enough, and he didn't plan to say more.
Carol understood immediately, did not ask any more questions, and continued to sink into her own understanding.
The Hall of Heroes flew in the void and reached the East China Sea. Qianye left the Hall of Heroes with Carol and flew down to Nan Qingcheng. The Hall of Heroes hovered in the depths of the void and was on standby.
Not long after Qianye returned, there was a sudden commotion in Nan Qingcheng. Many people ran from their houses to the street and looked up at the sky.
A huge shadow slowly passed over the entire city. In the sky, a huge ship that had never been seen before was falling from the sky.
The several-hundred-meter-long hull is comparable to the largest cargo ship, but its beautiful water drop-like hull and stable and elegant flying posture are not something any cargo ship can possess. Long ballistae protrudes from the bow and stern.
, it is a killing weapon that has never been seen before in the neutral land.
Not only the bow and stern of the ship, although the protruding ballista barrels are not visible on both sides, the rows of vaguely visible side wall gun ports also show its terrifying firepower on the sides.
Even those who know nothing about floating battleships will be shocked by such a ferocious-looking big thing. Not only is it unmatched in a neutral place, but even if you look at the entire Eternal Night World, there are not many that can compare to it.
fighting enemy.
Under the gaze of everyone, the giant ship slowly landed on Dark Fire's exclusive take-off and landing field. The site has been quietly expanded to double the original area, and many ground equipment have been removed. Even so, the giant ship
The ship was lying there, still feeling crowded.
At that moment, many people wanted to rush over to watch the excitement. However, the Dark Fire mercenaries had already received orders to block all the roads leading to the landing site, and set up three cordons in a row, which were enough to keep all idlers away.
Outside the block.
Of course, this kind of cordon cannot stop the truly strong. But those with advanced cultivation know that Qianye and Song Zining are here, who would provoke them just to watch the fun.
The dark gray paint of the giant ship is still the classic style of the imperial fleet. It has not been changed, but the hull number has been painted out.
The ship door slowly opened, and a row of imperial soldiers walked out from above, headed by a lieutenant general.
Qianye and Song Zining were already waiting at the take-off and landing field. The lieutenant general strode up to the two of them, gave a military salute, and then said: "Da Qin Bao Guangtu is here to handle the handover!"
Song Zining also returned a military salute, and then said: "There are still five frigates, right?"
Bao Guangtu said: "Those five ships are just ordinary goods. There is no way we can catch up with this warship, but it should be here soon."
He pointed to the sky, and Song Zining and Qianye looked in the direction of his finger. There were several small black dots in the sky that were hard to see clearly. After a while, they became clearer and gradually enlarged. Sure enough, several aerostats were heading towards the sky at a rapid speed.
Flying from Nan Qingcheng.
They were slightly bumpy, and their flying posture was far less graceful than that of battlecruisers, but they were far superior to those in the Neutral Ground, which were hundreds of years old antiques at every turn. Although frigates were small in size, they were not as agile and fast as the battlecruisers that had just arrived, and they were not as agile or fast as the battlecruisers that had just arrived.
No wonder Bao Guangtu looks down on them so much.
Song Zining is very familiar with various types of warships in the empire. Looking at the appearance and speed indicators from a distance, he knows that these five frigates belong to the main ship types currently in service in the empire. This warship has been in the army for less than thirty years.
Years ago, it can be said to be a backbone force. Although its performance is not optimal, it is more stable. There are almost no obstacles in spare parts, and its combat data has been accumulated abundantly. It can be seen that the sincerity of the empire this time is quite real.
Bao Guangtu said: "Six battleships are already here, and the cargo fleet carrying naval guns and corresponding accessories and ammunition will arrive one day late. The drawings you want are all in the cargo hold of this... battle cruiser. Please check and receive them.
"
Song Zining nodded, and the technical team that had been prepared long ago boarded the ship to handle the handover and reception. Bao Guangtu made a gesture, and a group of warriors in casual clothes ran over and automatically followed him.
Arrange in a square matrix.
Bao Yuantu said: "These are old sergeants who have served in the army for many years. Each of them can be called an expert in a certain mechanical field. They have now left active service, regained their freedom, and voluntarily lived in a neutral place. These
It’s General Lan’s wishes.”
Sergeants are a unique military rank in some of the empire's military services. They may not have enough personal combat power and will never be able to become generals in their lifetime, but they are experts in a certain technical field. Especially in the Empire's floating fleet, sergeants are particularly important, and their treatment is comparable
General's.
With these dozens of sergeants, Qianye and Song Zining will be able to control these battleships, especially the battlecruiser, much more smoothly. This gift from Lan Xincheng is indeed not light.
Of course Qianye and Song Zining would not refuse, and immediately ordered people to take these soldiers down and arrange a place to live.
While he was talking, several frigates also arrived. After the handover, Bao Guangtu couldn't help but said: "Two adults, I have something I don't know whether to say or not. If you two adults want to form a fleet, then
The current combination seems a bit inappropriate. There are only three of this new type of battle cruiser in the entire empire. It is more suitable for fighting alone or mixed with high-speed destroyers. After all, these frigates are old and cannot keep up with the speed of the battle cruiser.
"
Song Zining laughed and said: "Even if I want a few high-speed destroyers, the military department won't give them to me!"
Bao Guangtu was startled, and then a look of understanding appeared on his face. The high-speed destroyer with a long range is the latest ship type developed by the empire. So far, only two ships have been produced, which is less than the number of battle cruisers. Of course, it is impossible to give them to neutrals.
Land. Lower-level destroyers are also the elite strike force of the empire's void battleships. Even the top aristocratic families in the empire cannot afford a few of them. If Song Zining opens his mouth, the military department can't decide whether to give him or not.
.
It can be seen that Song Zining wanted those five frigates just to expand his military strength in the name of this war. But even if Bao Guangtu had guessed it, he would not be stupid enough to say it. He said: "Now that the handover is completed, I will leave now
.The next battle plan will be sent by a dedicated person."
After Qianye and Song Zining greeted Bao Guangtu, they watched him board a frigate with his entourage and take off.
Song Zining touched his chin and smiled, saying: "There are still many honest and true soldiers in the imperial army."
Qianye didn't say anything. The Qin Dynasty has been a country for thousands of years. It has risen from the mud and has developed without any signs of decline. This is because countless imperial soldiers and descendants of the family have fought bloody battles and carved out a place for survival and reproduction from the darkness. It's a pity that...
Like the eternal night and dawn intertwined in this world, absolute purity is rare, and there are also many noises on the road of humankind's forging ahead.
Bao Guangtu has left, but Anhui is still busy up and down. The workload of inspection, repair, and maintenance is huge, and these warships must be protected to prevent secret sabotage.
Qian Yeze and Song Zining returned to the command room, hung the floating land map on the wall, and stared at it without saying a word.
After a long time, Song Zining said: "Qianye, do you think there is anything wrong with this plan?"
Qianye shook his head, "I can't tell. If there are risks, they are within the normal range. But I always feel that something is wrong."
Song Zining frowned, "I feel the same way, but I can't tell what's wrong. We go deep alone and have to hold on behind enemy lines. It seems very dangerous, but in fact it may not be. As long as we have the advantage of outer space, there will be a steady stream of backup.
, and maneuverable
We are in our own hands. Besides, Zhao Si is there in the middle. He knows your fighting position and will definitely come over and join forces with you. Zhao Jundu is not a fool. If the Imperial Military Department manipulates the troops given to him,
, I’m afraid he dared to kill someone on the spot.”
"Where's Princess Haimi's journey?"
"There won't be any problems along the way. The eldest princess was also a legend back then, and she was still more popular than Gaoyi."
"Will we lose this game?" Qianye asked after thinking for a while.
Song Zining shook his head, "It doesn't actually matter if we lose. We were almost losing on the floating land. But if we follow Lin Shuai's plan, we can at least earn half of the chance of winning."
Qianye said: "Then don't think about it, it's useless to think about it."
"It's a pity that the secret cannot be deduced..."
Qianye was immediately startled, "Don't seek death! This battle must not be deduced from heaven's secrets!"
In the Battle of Floating Land, the empire can be said to be in full force, and Yong Ye's side's investment will never be small. The gathering of elite soldiers and generals on both sides has greatly increased the variables. Not to mention, there are still many important figures involved. Indiscriminate use
By inference, if it were to be directly linked to a Heavenly King-level figure, given Song Zining's current level of cultivation, he would really be seeking death.
Qianye thought for a while and added, "You can't count me in either."
Song Zining's eyes were a little strange, he patted Qianye's shoulder and said: "Don't worry! I won't count you against anyone now!"
Qianye glanced at Song Zining suspiciously, but he didn't expect him to listen to the advice this time. In front of Qianye, Song Zining had always been good at the secret deduction and could not lose face at all. At this moment, he looked like he was avoiding snakes and scorpions, but
Why?
There was no point in further discussing the battle plan, so Song Zining and Qianye split up to make war preparations.
The spare parts, main guns and ammunition sent by the military headquarters began to arrive the next day, and a large part of them were sent to the Hall of Valor by Qianye to continue to increase the firepower of this legendary giant ship. Until now, the Hall of Valor is still far away
The firepower limit was not reached.
After several days of training on several Imperial warships, the newly configured crews have gradually become able to operate them. Although they are not yet proficient, they are at least not far from being qualified. Every key position is overseen by Imperial sergeants, so the entire fleet is well integrated.
The model is the same.
At the same time, Dark Fire also recruited nearly 10,000 new mercenaries and stepped up training. The original senior mercenaries were dispersed and incorporated into each new recruit team as the backbone.
Every day, transport ships fly in from all over the country and land in Nanqing. As soon as these original cargo ships landed, they began to be modified from the inside out, turning them from cargo ships into manned transport ships. The modification is not complicated.
As long as it can barely accommodate people. Although the conditions are simple, the mercenaries in the Neutral Land have always been able to adapt to the most difficult and extreme environments. They will not complain about crowding. After all, every more soldier on the ship will mean there will be more around them on the battlefield in the future.
A comrade.
The clouds of war gradually came, and the preparation work invisibly accelerated the pace. The major workshops in Nanqing City began to work overtime day and night. Many workshops put down their original work and turned to producing supporting materials and equipment for the Dark Fire.
The trading houses did not complain, even if most of the things they produced were taken away on credit. All trading houses in neutral places knew that war was the only way to make a fortune. As long as they supported Qianye and Song Zining to win this battle,
Then you can recover today’s investment tenfold and a hundredfold.
The Neutral Land is too small, and the total population is only that large. The people inside are all eager to go out and fight to a wider world. However, the special environment of the Neutral Land is both protection and restraint. The Empire and Yongye cannot do anything about Neutral Land.
land, but as long as the fleet in the neutral land dares to leave this special area, it will be wiped out in the blink of an eye.
This time, the scale of preparations for the Dark Fire War is huge, and it is an expedition away from a neutral ground. These large trading houses hope to cling to Dark Fire and open up new markets in the vast world outside.
In this way, amid the intense and busy preparations, Dark Fire waited for the war order from the Imperial Military Department.
