1890 King of Southeast Asia

"The first army successfully landed on the old island of Mianlan, and the transport ship was uninstalled the supplies."

"Sulu Island's Transit Base is under construction, and the front line command requests to increase construction machinery."

"One brigade of the First Army has landed on the southern end of Barawang Island, and plans to land on the sixth division of the north side of Balawwa Island. The 11th Brigade has set off."

"The troops that landed in Luzon Island were blocked and were heading to the second landing field."

The Heat of the General Staff of the Nanhua Army in Surabaya. Thanks to the progress of communication methods, the important situation can be brought together to the General Staff in real time, and it can be mobilized in a timely manner.

Do not underestimate this. It is precisely the essence of war. It is one of the important guarantees of winning, even one of the information of victory, even if it is just your own information.

In the First World War, Germany could punches English and France, kicking Tsar Russia, and being able to obtain information and processing information in a timely manner is his ace.

Liu Yiming has been separated from the specific military command system in early. He knows his level, saying that it is good to be proficient in military strategy, and the straightforward point is that the level of tactical level can only be the commander of the battalion.

So the main thing is to listen and speak easily.

"The head of state, the German ambassador Hans asked." A staff member quietly came in and conveyed to Liu Yiming.

Liu Yiming frowned, nodded, got up and left.

After seeing Liu Yiming left, the staff relaxed, and Liu Yiming was always in his hands.

Liu Yiming walked out of the staff department, Secretary Wang quickly greeted him, and Liu Yiming asked: "What are he doing? What news is there?"

Secretary Wang quickly answered: "The report submitted by the Department of Staff of the Navy shows that there are German ships patrolling the sea of ​​Luzon, and the Ministry of Foreign Affairs did not respond after routine inquiries. The German ambassador should be because of this."

Liu Yiming's face became a little ugly, "Did the Germans intervene? What do he want to do? Who do you think of me? Old demon?"

But he didn't say these, but got in the car quickly.

Because of Liu Yiming's intervening, Die Qing just made compensation for the two missionaries, and opened a business port to assist in providing warship maintenance and allowed German warships to stop at the Southern Army Port.

However, it did not make a substantial land promise, that is, the rental land, so the Germans Far East Cruise Fleet still wandered in Nagasaki, Hongkong, Shanghai, and the three places. There was no mother port.

The first published in this book: -

"Ordered the Navy to monitor the state of the Germans closely, and the monitoring is bright!" Before he arrived at Zhangtai Palace, Liu Yiming first gave orders to convey the secretary.

..............

Liu Yiming pushed the door of the living room, greeted enthusiastically as old friends: "Hans! I haven't seen you for a long time, why are you free to play today?"

Hans is the nobleman of the Juncker, with Feng and the army. Twenty -seven years ago, in the war that decided to fate in Prussia and France, he was only eighteen years old and served in the Guards Corps of King Prussia.

After the war, he chose to politics, came to the Far East, and then formed an inextricable bond with the Navy -refers to DIE Qing warship orders.

Unique experience has cast Hans' unique character.

"Mr. Head of State! It's a long time since you see a great development. Where can I care about some trivial things?" Hans' unique vision is different from those who have been fascinated by the eyes in China.

He knows the power of Britain and the advantages of Germany. In his opinion, the best choice for Germany is to maintain the Three Emperor Alliances, hegemony of the European continent -then failed, and the respect of Her Majesty William was crooked, and the alliance was broken.

Among the three emperors, Germany was originally in the position of regulator, regulating the contradiction between the Austro -Hungarian Empire and the Tsar in the Balkans, however, but ...

Secondly, Germany and Britain continue to maintain a good relationship, and then ...

His Majesty William can always stab the lifemen of other countries. Hundred years of blood revenge can be diluted.))

Now, Emperor William wants to take the whole point in the Far East.

"Talking about Hans long, I have been busy recently. When I am busy this time, we go to the Luzon Islands to play. Where can there be a lot of island environment? Talk about special talks.

Hans barely smiled: "The head of state, this war caused a stir in Europe, which is not good for South China! Our emperor wants to ask South China, South China ... Do you need help in Germany?"

Liu Yiming looked grateful: "No need, there is no difficulty in the Luzon Islands. At present, we are preparing to further mobilize, expand the army to 500,000, and pre -levy two million people for development as the development of the Luzon Islands."

Liu Yiming paused: "Of course, if the Germans are willing to help,

I hope to order the next batch of orders to your country. I know that your country is changing the installation. The drawings are provided by us.

In addition, there are some trade orders. The Ministry of Commerce will negotiate with Germany. This year, there are many products in South China, such as petroleum products, rubber products, and edible oil. You can sign long -term orders. "

Liu Yiming has made the biggest concession. There is no need to conflict with the Germans. The arms trade is normal. One hammer is bought and sold. The latter is different. Long -term orders are important to Germany.

Hans moved, and he knew that Liu Yiming, as the head of the country, said that this point is equivalent to the final decision.

The first published in this book: -

"Germany is discussing the problem of selling certain islands with Spain. If it is reached, these islands will be German territory. I hope that the head of state can respect the German choice." Hans sighed.

This order is yellow, at most, at most, the Far East Fleet is a rootless duckweed anyway, offending Nanhua out of thin air, is it worth it?

"What about the islands? You have to give a scope." Liu Yiming said calmly.

"The western islands north of Guinea Island, including the Solomon Islands, the Garolin Islands, the Mariana Islands, the Marshall Islands, etc. These islands will form a virtue with the Bismarck Islands in Pacific ..." Every time a word, Liu Yiming's mood is even worse.

"The Garolin Islands, the Marshall Islands, and the Mariana Islands are the only way for South China and Hawaii." Liu Yiming paused.

"I think Hans should remind you of your emperor that he was deceived. The South China Army has landed and occupied the Mariana Islands. During the war, this was already South China ..." Liu Yiming spread his hands.

Hans looked at Liu Yiming and tentatively said, "I will remind His Majesty, but Germany has a reservation for this."

Liu Yiming shook his head: "Nanhua can not oppose it. It does not oppose all transactions except the Mariana Islands, but Germany must guarantee that it will no longer continue to intervene, and transfer a 10,000 -ton -level free forging machine and the corresponding technology Essence

As compensation, South China can sign a long -term and equal trade contract with Germany -about nitric acid, oil, and rubber. "

The reason why Liu Yiming agreed was a lot of consideration. Nanhua stood up to important traffic, followed by ...

Hans blinked, and is there a good thing?

You know, the sources of nitric acid of Germans, or the sources of nitric acid around the world are controlled by the United Kingdom, because Peru is the only country in the world with a nitrogen ore -nitrated, and this country is controlled by Britain.

"I don't know how much nitric acid can provide in your country?" Hans couldn't care about other, no nitric acid, and there was no launching medicine. At this time, all military explosives and medicines were nitro.

"The price is not cheap, but the amount is very large! The specifics are connected by the Ministry of Commerce and the German side. I think these have exceeded your permissions ..." Liu Yiming was merciless, go back and ask your master!

Hans lowered his head and said goodbye until he came out of Zhangtai Palace, but he couldn't believe it. He almost easily completed most of the goals, and there was also the receiving of the community trade order!

As for the transfer of large free forging machines? Germany will also be transferred without transferring the United States. South China can explore itself by itself, which is just a processing problem.

... ...

After Hans left, Liu Yiming walked out of Zhangtai Palace with a black face, rushed all the way to his own home, entered the study, and closed the door of the room.

"What's wrong?" Zhang Pan happened to be on vacation and saw Liu Yiming rushing into the study in a hurry, and dared not speak.

Zhao Jiaxing arrived at Liu Yiming's house almost before and rear, and was stopped by Zhang Pan.

"He entered the study. At this time, he had to think alone, what do you have? What is important to call him ..." Zhang Pan said to Zhao Jiaxing.

Liu Yiming did not let anyone enter his study, and he was handled by himself. He went in. It was best not to find him without important things. Many people knew his habits.

"No need, I came to report the situation. Last night, the navy attacked, the Spanish navy surrendered, and the Marine Corps has opened up the landing field. It is only necessary to reduce this war report to the head of state ..." Zhao Jiaxing regretted some.

He wanted to make a merit to the navy, Manila's portal opened greatly, and the navy's first achievement.

..............

"Where is it?" Liu Yiming took the information he had recorded. After he came here, he slowly excavated in the memory and recorded the historical data.

"It should be placed here!" Liu Yiming took a bunch of information, above the West War, the British War, the Japan -Russia War and so on.

"Find it!" Liu Yiming looked at Germany's analysis before and slowly studied.

"It is impossible for Germany to break through Britain's blockade. It is impossible for the United States to fall to Germany, and William has made so many plans to invade the United States. Know it here before you understand it.

"So, strengthen Germany! By the way, get a bit harder for the relationship between the two sides ..." Liu Yiming smiled crooked, as if thinking of something fun.

The first published in this book: -

Soon, a total of 20,000 rifles, dozens of artillery trading contracts were submitted to Germany by DIE clearly scattered, and the German -made weapons were replaced by a warehouse. Arrived in a warehouse under the name of Belgian in the Republic of Olan.

..............

At 1 am on May 3rd, the six sea wolf -grade torpedo boats performed strict light control. Under the guidance of the moonlight, the island of Correh was silent and successfully sneaked into the Manila Bay.

The sound of a slight engine was covered up by the waves. It was not until Clasto Island completely crossed. The captain of the torpedo boat was released.

The sea wolf -class torpedo boat is the fourth -class torpedo boat of Nanhua. Compared with his predecessors, he has no particularly prominent place. The displacement is 80 tons and 140 tons (increase the fuel tank).

It still uses diesel engines, and adds three small generators. Because of the change in size, the maximum speed is 32 knots, but the range is greatly increased, and the light load and low speed can reach 3,200 nautical miles.

It can carry three torpedoes (in the launch tube) and two spare ammunition. There are three supports at the bow and one at the tail. When it acts as a patrol boat, it can be equipped with two 37mm guns and two machine guns.

"Found it!" After passing Corregidor Island for a long time, the torpedo boat traveling at a low speed approached the berth of the Spanish Far East Fleet.

"Confirm the target and then assign the plan!" According to intelligence, there are 19 large and small warships in the port, but only 13 of them belong to Spain, including a notification ship.

The rest are foreign ships, including one British ship, two French ships, and three German ships, to protect overseas Chinese.

The first release of this book: ——

It is troublesome to confirm warships at a long distance at night, so Mane simply ordered the fleet to stop, anyway, the diesel engine starts quickly.

The moonlight is very bad tonight, so the sailors can only confirm the target with great difficulty, and they have to confirm it repeatedly.

"We found the Reina Cristina, confirm the target!"

"Castilla, confirm the target!"

"Luzon-class gunboat, confirm the target!"

...

"Assign targets, No. 531 is responsible for attacking the enemy flagship Christina, use two forward torpedoes together, No. 532 is responsible for attacking Castilla, choose the firepower by yourself...

No. 536 attacks the General Leso torpedo gunboat. The five gunboats have a shallow draft, and the torpedo depth is set!"

Simple target assignment, mainly because there are four ships in the Luzon class, which is troublesome to confirm each other, and the guns are large, but the draft is not deep, standard colonial coastal defense ships.

"Start the attack!" Mane saw the watch pointer pointing to three o'clock and issued an order.

Rumble rumble rumble~~Ong~

Two high-speed diesel engines started and attacked the Spanish fleet more than a kilometer away.

This time, there is no need to let the torpedo boat get too close. The purpose of starting the engine is to rush out of Manila Bay later. Otherwise, after Corregidor Island blocks Manila Bay, the fate of the torpedo boat formation will definitely not be very good.

"Unlock the torpedo, set the depth to four meters!" The Christina has a displacement of 5,000 tons. In the same era, tonnage represents combat effectiveness, but he is already out of date.

"Aim at the target and prepare to launch!" Mane is making the final preparations, and the speed of the torpedo boat has increased.

"Distance: 800! Aiming completed!"

"Release!"

Tong!

The high-pressure gas is released, and the torpedo rushes out of the launch tube. After falling asleep, the engine starts working and moves towards the target.

This is the first generation of domestically produced torpedoes of Nanhua, with a range of 3600 and a speed of 10 knots. It still uses an air compression engine and is equipped with a gyroscope to ensure accuracy.

Tong Tong Tong's voice kept ringing.

"Turn!" After releasing the torpedo, Mane turned left and drew a big circle as planned, and increased the speed to 16 knots.

"Tail torpedo launch!"

Tong!

The remaining torpedo also headed for the Christina.

"The formation is complete!" The first mate reported the situation. The torpedoes were moving very slowly, and the torpedo boats had already re-formed. Of course, this was after the blackout.

There were flashes of fire in the distance, and there was more than one place. The fire kept flashing. After two or three seconds, the sound came.

boo! ~~n

"Let's go, keep the speed, don't get separated." Mane left with satisfaction.

As for the results of the battle, we can only observe later.

The explosion sounded far away...

Until it reached Gu Fan: "Set sail, cover the torpedo boat formation..."
