The end of the military era

You are not an ordinary person, you are the vice admiral of the empire, and you have to be responsible for saying something! "

Pegg immediately smoothed things over and said: "No matter where those all-main-gun battleships come from, we will completely wipe out the coastal defense fleet of the Zhou family in Ganyang this time!"

Bullitt then ignored the embarrassed Longella, turned his head and asked Rofer, the commander of the [-]rd Marine Division, "Your [-]rd Marine Division fought against the Ganyang Zhou family's army, and their army What are the characteristics?"

"General Bullitt, the Zhou family's army in Ganyang, has excellent weapons and equipment, and a very tenacious fighting will. It can be said that he is a very difficult opponent."

The corners of Bullitt's lips raised slightly, "That's a bit interesting. If the enemy is too weak, it's not worth the ten days of rough seas."

Longella wanted to ease the embarrassment just now, so he took the initiative to say: "General Bullitt, do you need to temporarily assign the Third Marine Division to your command?"

"I'm a Lieutenant General in the Royal Army, not a Marine Division in the Royal Navy.

General Longella wants the Third Marine Division to wash away its previous shame, so he has to ask the Empire's Ministry of War! "

Longella was so choked by Bullitt that he didn't know what to say for a while, and at the same time secretly complained: With your temper, if it weren't for your background, you would have been unable to get along in the imperial army.

Then Bullitt said to Pegg: "My soldiers need three days of rest. After three days, I need the navy to escort the No.14 Army to Xiangshi Island."

Pegg nodded, "No problem, the Navy will ensure that the No.14 Army reaches Xiangshi Island safely and provide fire support for the No.14 Army."

As soon as the expeditionary force of the Silver Wolf Empire arrived at Pusha Island, Zhou Rui got the news from the Golden Lion Empire.

This time the Silver Wolf Empire sent an expeditionary force, although it was only aimed at the Zhou family, but the Golden Lion Empire saw the Silver Wolf Empire's ambitions for the entire western coastal area of ​​the Han and Tang Empires.

The merchants of the Golden Lion Empire have a lot of industries in the western coastal areas of the Han and Tang Empires. Of course, the Golden Lion Empire does not want to see the Silver Wolf Empire violate the Golden Lion Empire's rights in the western coastal areas of the Han and Tang Empires through this war. Benefit.

So in secret, the Golden Lion Empire not only provided the Zhou family with a lot of information about the Silver Wolf Empire's expeditionary force, but also secretly sold 20 45-caliber 280mm coastal defense guns to the Zhou family through Hulk, the general manager of the Nine Star Hotel. , and 5000 rounds of 280mm shells.

At present, these 20 45mm coastal defense guns with 280 times the caliber have been deployed by Zhou Rui in the two newly built forts in Jingsheng Port.

In addition to the original two old forts in Jingsheng Port, there are already four forts in Jingsheng Port.

Holding the information sent by the Golden Lion Empire, Zhou Rui took a deep breath, and then said to Huang Zhigang, commander of the [-]th Infantry Brigade of the Garrison Division: "Send a report to Crescent Island, and start implementing the tactics formulated before.

Then send the news of the arrival of the Silver Wolf Empire Expeditionary Force to Pusha Island to the three brigades on Xiangshi Island. "

discharged from hospital

I finally got home, and my daughter was only discharged from the hospital at noon today.

I went to a relative's house in Changchun first, and departed from Changchun at 03:30 in the afternoon. As a result, my daughter-in-law drove the wrong way on the expressway.Why don't I turn on navigation? ? ?

It took a long time to find the right way, and when I got home, it was after seven o'clock in the evening.In fact, from Changchun to the county where my family lives, it only takes less than two hours on the highway

To be honest, these days in the hospital, it's just crash after crash, all kinds of things just come out of my head.

But looking at his wife and daughter, they could only grit their teeth when they collapsed. Fortunately, they survived until they were discharged from the hospital.

During this period of time in the hospital, I have been using my mobile phone to code.

But because I left in a hurry at the time, I didn’t expect to stay in Changchun Hospital for such a long time. As a result, some materials and notes I wrote for the book were not brought to Changchun. In addition, I had to take care of my daughter, so the efficiency of coding was very impressive.

I finally got home, I just want to sleep now.

So please forgive me, I have to be an "old dog" for two days.

"Mo Wu" will be on the shelves at 5:8 noon on May 12th, but I only have a chapter of more than 2000 words in my hand, so I decided to be selfish and save a few chapters tomorrow and the day after tomorrow

These days can be described as physically and mentally exhausting, plus my daughter was frightened when she might get injections and check-ups in the hospital, she kept crying and struggled to feed her, and I still had to take care of her, so it was considered a failure to save a few chapters , You may not be able to save much, so write as much as you can!

As for the testimonials on the shelves, I will not write, I am really embarrassed to ask for this and that.

But if everyone's conditions permit, I hope you can give me a first order for my brother!

I would like to thank all the readers who have given me encouragement, thank you, sincerely thank you!

Maybe many people can't understand that when I was in the environment of the hospital and was devastated every day, I couldn't help but shed tears when I saw the readers' "Come on" every sentence.

so thanks!thank you all!

Chapter 1 Fifteen Raiding the Fleet

After receiving the telegram from Zhou Rui, Song Limin, the deputy commander of the coast defense fleet on Crescent Island, immediately called Wang Hongchun, the commander of the fifth formation.

"Crazy Wang, the major general has sent a telegram that the expeditionary force of the Silver Wolf Empire has arrived at Pusha Island, and it is time for your fifth formation to dispatch."

Wang Hongchun said with some excitement: "This time our Fifth Formation must let the navy of the Silver Wolf Empire have a good experience of how powerful the battlecruisers are!"

Three of the eight battlecruisers of the Fifth Formation of the Coastal Defense Fleet were sunk in the Battle of Xiangshi Island, and two battlecruisers, Wurui and Yongxi, were seriously injured and are being repaired in the floating dock.

Only the three Moltke-class battlecruisers Wusheng, Wugong, and Wude remained, and they could continue to fight.

However, because Zhou Rui added four more Invincible-class battlecruisers to the fifth formation, the number of battlecruisers that the fifth formation could fight in increased to seven.

After the naval battle at Xiangshi Island, the officers of the Coastal Defense Fleet have clearly realized that due to the insufficient armor of battlecruisers, they are not suitable for conducting battle-line confrontation with enemy battleships, especially battleships with full main guns. .

The biggest advantage of a battlecruiser should be its speed, followed by its firepower comparable to that of a battleship with full main guns.

Therefore, in view of the characteristics of battlecruisers, Zhou Rui, Song Limin and others formulated new tactics, using the 7 battlecruisers that the fifth formation can fight as a raid fleet.

When the expeditionary force of the Silver Wolf Empire attacked Xiangshi Island, the harassing fleet would harass the opponent's supply line in the waters between Pusha Island and Xiangshi Island, killing the opponent's small and medium-sized warships and transport ships.

Song Limin said in a deep voice: "Crazy Wang, this time the fifth formation will be equipped with six new light cruisers.

After arriving in the waters between Pusha Island and Xiangshi Island, in addition to the task of harassing the opponent's supply line, your fifth formation also needs to collect as much information as possible about the enemy's main fleet. "

The new light cruiser that Song Limin mentioned was the German Wiesbaden-class light cruiser that Zhou Rui extracted from the lottery system.

The top speed of this light cruiser can reach 27.5 knots, which can completely keep up with the speed of the two battlecruisers.

At present, the 12 German Wiesbaden-class light cruisers delivered to the Coastal Defense Fleet by Zhou Rui have all been incorporated into task forces.

After the naval battle at Xiangshi Island, only the light cruiser Fei Rong was left in the task force. If there were no 12 German Wiesbaden-class light cruisers to join, Song Limin would even be planning to cancel the designation of the task force up.

Wang Hongchun nodded and said: "We keep in touch at any time, hoping to find fighters for the three battleship formations with all main guns."

The three battleship formations with all main guns refer to the third, eighth and ninth formations of the coastal defense fleet.

The all-steel battleships of the original third formation of the Coastal Defense Fleet have either sunk or been scrapped. The new third formation is composed of six British giant-class battleships, namely Phoenix, Fengming, Fengyi and Fenghe. , Fengluan, Fengcai.

The eighth formation consists of six French Corbet-class battleships, namely Longjiang, Longwu, Longlin, Longsheng, Longrui, and Longyin.

The Ninth Formation is a newly formed formation of the Coastal Defense Fleet, consisting of 6 German Kaiser-class battleships, namely Tianxin, Tiangang, Tiangong, Tianguang, Tianjun, and Tianshu.
