Chapter 750: Twenty-three. Eve (4)

Big ships and big artillery, raging seas of war-this is the classic naval warfare model that is admired by countless people who long for the navy. In some people's hearts, this has gone beyond hobbies and admiration, and has been upgraded to a belief.
If humans are, orcs are, so are elves.
In the current golden age of the oceans, the navy of each country is wondering how to put more, thicker, and longer tubes into the ship, so as to destroy the opponent more efficiently and more gorgeously. At this point, the designers of warships in various countries can be described as the same. The only difference is that human and orc designers are limited by technical limitations and thinking limitations, and they can only find ways to open more windows on wooden ships. The elf designers benefited from the advanced technical level and industrial system, and were able to put the sacred turret on the steel battleship.
In the bb party, almost all the world, all designers will make a bunch of sail attack ships for the defense navy who worships the "truth" of "hundreds of turrets, hundreds of millions of lights", which is really a surreal feeling. Things.
Seahawks, comets, Atlantis, penguins, cormorants-the first five camouflage assault ships built under the name "auxiliary cruiser", plus many auxiliary ships, this is all the defense navy surface ships family property. If it were not for a submarine and an underwater carrier, it would have really won the title of "Fish Administration" when the Navy was first established.
The Ministry of Agriculture of Baojiaweiguo, the Frontier Land and Fisheries Administration-the ancients never bullied me.
In fact, the designers of the Naval Shipbuilding Commission set out to plan all kinds of large warships early, but the ocean was not the strategic focus of Alfheim, and there were not so many qualified sailors in the second. Even if a lot of bb, cv, ca is made, there is a lack of qualified sailors who can control these warships. The plan to build a large surface ship was put on hold. For a long time, the expansion of the defense navy was limited to creating underwater wolves and training "wolves."
With the design and manufacture of the large-scale surface ships lifted by the Archon, the Navy finally waited for the dreamed spring, although the first batch of warships was not the super battleship they dreamed of carrying four double-mounted 800mm caliber cannons, but a The assault ships approved for attacking the maritime transport line are also better for the Navy than nothing. Moreover, this is also in line with the current naval strategy.
The main tasks of the Defense Navy are two: to cooperate with overseas troops to protect colonies producing important strategic materials, and on this basis, strike the enemy's maritime transport lines as much as possible. As for the task of the traditional navy competing for sea power. Was considered at the end. After all, relying on powerful air power, the elves can easily destroy or paralyze the navy of any country in the harbor.
In addition, the design of the surface ship has not yet been approved, according to the consistent tradition of the defense army "can wait for equipment, not allow equipment to wait". The rookie sailors were caught up with the steel sail attack ship. While adapting to sea life. While training hands with merchant ships sailing alone, accumulating the skills and experience necessary for "cruising warfare" to prepare for future engagements in submarine warships, airships, and surface warships.
It is the same as the sister ship that searches for prey in the ocean. The Sea Eagle is also a newly launched three-masted clipper. It is 83.5 meters long and has a draft of 5.5 meters. It has a beautiful flying shear bow, powerful armament, and delicate camouflage. But compared with her companions, the proportion of recruits on the ship is relatively high, as high as 79%. It is completely a military school training ship. If she had a clever, brave and imaginative captain, I am afraid the navy would not let this ship go pimples. Go to be a pirate.
Major Felix Luckner was born in a military family. His father was a cavalry officer who relied on his own efforts to worship the colonel. He is now ambitiously attacking the ambitious goal of adding "Feng ()" to the rank and surname of the general. . Naturally, relying on his father's accumulated contacts in the army, serving in the cavalry unit and flying Huang Tengda will be Felix's life trajectory. But I don't know if he thinks that the cavalry will be useless in the future war, or that he will be rebellious in nature, or that he is destined to be a man who wants to become One Piece. In short, Felix did not inherit his father’s business and he chose the sea. After learning of his son's choice, the old Lucner almost suffocated with the wind of the horns, but now that the matter was over, the old man had no choice but to mourn the misfortune of his family.
Soon, Luknar proved himself with his diligence and hard work. When wearing a straight military uniform, wearing a gold spike strap, an epaulette, a sword on the waist, and a navy major wearing a big hat, appeared at home, old Lu Kenal was also moved by his son's perseverance, and warmly welcomed his son with open arms.
However, with diligence alone, even if the major’s shoulder badge can be hung, it is still difficult to be entrusted with a heavy responsibility, not to mention taking the heart and flesh of a ship’s naval tyrants to fight home. At this time, Major Luckner’s other advantages emerged. During his work on the consortium’s merchant ships, the Major accumulated a wealth of experience in sailing and sailing. The characteristics of each of them are impressed by his courage, responsibility, contingency and rich imagination.
There is no doubt that he is suitable for such tasks.
The major taught all the crew to speak Lapland and taught them to be calm, brave and warlike. Because this attack ship needs to be disguised as a Lapland sailing cargo ship, in order to make her more authentic, the ship has installed Lapland sailing clocks, barometers, thermometers and other metal appliances, and also passed the real Lapland cargo ship through Stasi Stolen logbook. The crew stepped on wooden boots, dressed in cardigans, wore blue sailor caps, and carried Lapland tobacco in their pockets – Scree chewing tobacco and other identification. For example, several love letters and pendant photos, each crew member has a "Lapland fiancee who misses everything and writes frequently." Finally, a crew member was selected, put on a wristband, and put on a women's dress, as the captain's wife "Josephine"...
These arrangements are extremely clever, because Albion and Captain Charlemagne are naturally polite to women, and in order to show gentlemanship and masculinity, it is easy to distract. And the well-known bad habit of the Lapland sailors-chewing tobacco endlessly, spitting chewed residue on the deck. It will give decent gentlemen the idea of ​​leaving the boat as soon as possible.
In order to make the disguise more realistic, Major Luckner also had a brilliant idea. He called the woodworkers and sailors on the ship to let them smash all the portholes, windows, all things with the father and son, and then use the sea water to get everything Soaked. After the furniture is damaged, the railings are crashed, and the seawater is poured on the carpets, berths, file cabinets, and ship certificates, it is restored in accordance with the regular marine operations. The repaired Sea Eagle is the same as a cargo ship that has just experienced a sea storm. The documents are soaked, covered with water and ink stains. Relying on this layer of successful disguise, the Sea Eagle succeeded in hiding from the sky. Take a ship of elves with the dream of One Piece in mind to the great channel.
But at the moment, Luknar and his crew were not in a hurry to search for the target. In the past few days, the haunted Seahawk has swallowed the cargo ships "Gradys Royal", "Lundi Island", "Charles Cournot", and has consumed a lot of supplies in succession. Just need supplies. The sea area where they are located is where the joints are agreed.
"Periscope! 3000 yards port!"
The lookout yelled loudly. The captains and officers took the telescopes and looked at the port side. I saw the waves in the distance. A black iron pipe emerged from the water, and a white trail was drawn on the turquoise sea, and the foamy waves shone in the sunlight.
The signal lights on the top of the periscope flickered out. The telegrapher quickly converted the Morse code to text.
"Captain, they asked us to sign the code."
"Again……"
Lucner gave a helpless grin, nodded, and the top of the mast immediately used the light signal to send the Morse code.
(Mushroom, where do you go and what price?)
(Hah! What do you want, mother who wants to breastfeed, mother who wants to be born, his uncle is here.)
(Uranus covers the ground tiger.)
(Pagoda Town River Demon.)
(The pheasant is boring, how can he go to the Tianwang Mountain!)
(There are rice on the ground, hello, there is a foundation!)
...
After an unclear cut of a bandit or a pirate, a huge submarine surfaced.
The cow-type supply submarine, a logistics submarine specially designed for u-boat group combat, can load 1,674 rounds of artillery, 18 rounds of torpedoes, and a large number of mails, cans, medicines. There is also a special cold storage in the boat for storing fresh fruits and vegetables And meat. These are essential for assault ships drifting overseas for a long time.
But this time it came with messages that surprised Luckner.
"Charlemagne and Castile entered a state of war?"
This is actually not surprising. The relationship between the two countries has not been good, especially after the 7th War. In addition, Charlieman is full of madmen who are hoping to rely on the war to fly through the war. It is a matter of time. The question is, how could it be like this?
"Messenger Charlemagne rushed into the Escorial Palace with a team of soldiers and gave Queen Anna "Tianzhu"."
Captain Lothar Arnaud La Pellet dangled the unlit pipe and his tone seemed to be a joke.
The minister of a country led a team to rush into another king's palace to kill and set fire-although it was not very funny, it was indeed a joke.
then--
"Look, it's time for us to play."
Peller showed a longing smile, and Luknar nodded deliberately.
###########
Armed conflict broke out again between Titans and Castile. Due to the protracted bureaucracy and backward communication methods of the Castilians, within three days, all countries heard of Charlieman’s official response to this unexpected incident. description of.
Late at night on the 7th day of the month, a battalion of the Titans stationed in the border port city of Onday carried out night exercises under the command of Major Corbin. By 10 pm, when the exercise was over, when the troops were assembled, it was said that the Castilian army from the direction of Fonterravia across the river fired bullets, initially a few rounds, and then a dozen more. hair. Major Corbin then ordered to stop the exercise and count the personnel and found that there was a lack of soldiers. To this end, while searching, while reporting to the army headquarters. Lieutenant Colonel Rios, who was at the barracks in Andi at the time, immediately reported the matter to Brigadier General Brigadier General Francois, and at the same time personally took an infantry battalion to the border for reinforcements and made a request to enter Fonterravia and Irun Conduct a search.
But the soldier who was initially said to be "missing" had returned safely at this time. In addition, Duke Alva, the highest commander of the Castilian army stationed at the border, made a public statement. He said that there were no Castilian troops on the border that day. If there were troops, they must be bandits. Brigadier General François then ordered that if he encountered the design again, he immediately opened fire and returned fire. At four o'clock in the morning, a shooting incident occurred again.
The above is an incident report written by Major General Lambert, assistant military attaché at Fonterravia at the time of Charlemagne's embassy. Privately, after investigating the matter, the major general believed that Castilla did not shoot. But he also insisted that the Titans stationed in the army was indeed shot. Major Lambert believes that the biggest suspect is probably the hardliners who wanted to annex the Castilian war early. For example, a rogue instructed by members of the military, or a third-party force that follows orders from a foreign country. However, Titans himself could not get rid of the suspicion. As early as during the battle of Riga, Rudes's well-informed people in the political circles had privately rumors that "winning the moon will repeat the seven-day war." The Prime Minister and the Army Department, who were shocked by the rumors, secretly sent their own investigators. Have not waited for these investigators to arrive. The incident has erupted. And became out of control.
On the 8th of the month, the Titans lived in the army without permission;
On the 9th of the month, the two sides reached an interim agreement. Both armies temporarily returned to their place of origin and issued an armistice order. Unexpectedly, there was another incident of firefighting in the afternoon.
On the 10th of the month, Rudes proposed a solution: 1. The Castilian Border Guards apologized to Titans and punished the "perpetrators"; 2. The Castilian troops withdrew from Fontellavia And Ilan; 3. In view of the fact that the anti-Charlemagne in the Castilian army first fired the incident, all anti-Charlemagne thoughts and propositions should be banned in the future;
Since the two sides could not reach an agreement, Titans shelled Fonterravia and Irun that evening...
"Isn't this a pretty good job? Even without us intervening, they will rush through the set track themselves, and they are more faithful than the reflex-trained dogs."
Li Lin said with his hands folded.
All he wanted to express was the literal meaning, but the sloppy smile gave a mocking image. I wonder if he was conscious of it. He continued to supplement it with the same ironic tone.
"We have invested so much in them without wasting it."
There are many factors for the rise of Titans, the most important of which is the support of the consortium. It is the support of a large number of gold coins, guns, instructors, logistics, and even invisible military support. This is the essence Only the second prince's "police force" can become an army in a short time, and quickly become an important force in Charlemagne's politics.
Of course, this investment is also extremely cost-effective. The orders sent by various countries to launch an arms race have made the consortium profitable. Other supporting facilities, trading rights, etc., needless to say. Most importantly, they personally opened the door to the abyss of disaster for Charlemagne.
"Excellent staff."
Freya sneered.
"They should be given the "Labor Freedom" medal."
Undoubtedly, the consortium has spared no effort to promote Charlemagne to militarism, support Titans, continue to provoke small-scale wars, create the illusion of Charlemagne "win undefeated", use various channels to promote "war can make the country Powerful, people prosperous", "following the military flag to rush abroad to gain benefits" and other "patriotic ideas", which in turn urged the people to turn from aversion to war in the past to fanatical support.
Of course, the consortium spent so much effort not to benefit Charlemagne, but to subvert the country. Just as Charlie Man was immersed in the myths of "from one victory to another" and "the king is invincible", this country has already established enemies on all sides, not far from the end of "from victory to destruction."
Among them, Titans' credit is not small, and it is enough to give them medals.
"The progress is much faster than expected."
Tyre shook his head, and there was an unbelievable trace on his face.
"I originally thought it would take at least a few years before they become what they are now."
Since the Meiji Restoration, Japan experienced a series of turmoil after the Sino-Japanese War, the Russo-Japanese War, the invasion of China by the Allied Powers of the Eight Powers, the First World War, the Spring of Taisho and the early Showa period, and finally formed the fascist system of the Emperor-the Ministry of Military Affairs. Front-line soldiers' unscrupulous "running away" and "walking alone" ignited war everywhere, and did not stop until they ate the atomic bomb. Another example of militarism in Germany, from the Weimar Republic to the Third Reich. It took nearly 20 years before and after. In a country with profound militarism, such as chickens and Hans Meow, coupled with the Great Depression, the bottom people are generally dissatisfied with the status quo. It takes at least ten years to complete the transition to a fascist country. Charlemagne has almost developed to such a field in just one year. Even if there is a consortium among them, this speed is too fast.
There are two reasons for this rapid progress. The first lies in the absence of external constraints, the Versailles-Washington system that suppresses the runaway of Germany and Japan does not exist, there is no effective international system that restricts military powers, and there is no written international law and international moral code of conduct. It is naturally much faster to take the road of militarism expansion. Second, there are few civilian groups or left-wing forces in Charlemagne that can suppress military forces. Although Charlemagne was brought into modernization by the consortium. However, in addition to the voice of a wealthy tycoon, the state administration is still basically the original ruling system of dignitaries. It does not have the complete civil service examination system and talent selection system as in Alfheim, and the civil bureaucracy group naturally has no way to talk about it. Those powers are more or less inextricably linked to the army and the princes behind it. Even Archbishop Li, who deliberately devised the national development strategy. He is also training the navy to balance the abacus of the army and titans. Use soldiers to check and balance the soldiers, but in the end have not become warriors?
Without internal and external constraints, the cultural quality of the common people is not high. They are all fools who listen to "war can make you rich" every day and taste some sweetness. After seeing the soldiers who were also civilians after the 7th War, they came back with big and small real gold and silver. After the example of destiny being promoted to prosperity, who else would oppose the war unconsciously? In less than a year, Charlemagne was naturally unanimous.
"Sir Prime Minister is indeed a noble minister, but the idea of ​​suppressing soldiers with soldiers is really..."
Brenhill spread his hands, and the participants laughed softly.
"That's fine. With the live specimen of Charlemagne, the right wing shouting at the military government in China will also be much quieter. However, we are not talking about these now."
The laughter came to an abrupt halt, and the elf soldiers were all sitting in danger.
"It doesn't make sense to discuss the things that have happened. What needs more attention now is the construction of our army, Lieutenant General Brenhill."
"Yes, sir."
With his jaw gently, Brenhill walked to the suspended battle map and placed the pointer on the west side of Alsace and Lorienta.
"The construction of the "Siegfy Line of Defense" has been completed by 87%. The positions of the fortress artillery and large air defense rockets are ready. The railway for the deployment of heavy weapons has been laid. A large amount of special ammunition is also stored in the ammunition storehouse."
The core idea of ​​the Defense Force’s yellow plan can be summed up in one sentence: south and north attack, lightning outsourcing.
The Siegfried line of defense attracted and contained the Charlemagne army, and the armored forces carried out a breakthrough outsourcing from the Ardennes forest, thus launching a annihilation battle.
Whether this plan can be successfully reached, there are two core points.
First, the breakthrough speed of the armored forces.
Secondly, to what extent can the Siegfried line of defense attract and contain the Charlemagne army.
If any of the above is inaccurate, the Charlemagne army may escape from the trap, regroup the troops and inflict heavy damage on the defense forces, and even if it does not help, it will prolong the fighting and bring down Yalfheim by the war of attrition.
In this war of national games, the elves can't afford any defeat. Alfheim is not a German second empire. After losing the Marne battle, there can also be a battle of Tannenberg, a Verdun meat grinder, Battle of Jutland...Once the Yellow Plan failed, the elves would not have any more.
Therefore, their investment in army building can be described as spared. In addition to vigorously building armored forces, the investment in the Zhegefei defense line is also very happy.
Needless to say, barbed wire, mines, trenches, etc., all kinds of heavy artillery are indispensable. In addition to countless mortars, rocket artillery, 88mm and 128mm high-level dual-purpose guns, there is no shortage of self-propelled 305mm tractor chassis Big guys such as artillery and 420mm siege guns are even more exaggerated. A large number of circular railway positions are built inside the defense line, which are exclusively used for 280mm train guns. Once in war, the Siegfried line can deploy at least 18 such horrors. Train cannon.
This is not enough. In order to further improve the air defense capability of the defense line, the newly developed "Lain Daughter" air defense rocket has also been moved out, and a launching position has been built early on the points that the enemy air battleship may pass through, entering wartime. Afterwards, these radio-guided rockets could be quickly put in place, and attacked the enemy.
As the final killer, all heavy artillery and rockets are equipped with "special ammunition" such as gas bombs and bacterial bombs. If the fighting is not smooth, then the defenders will shoot out all these shells in a few minutes, creating a large unmanned area, and gain time for the next battle. As for how many people may be killed as a result, it is not the elves' consideration...
"This is the last resort. We will not start it until we have to do it."
Brenhill's eyebrows jumped, and some generals also showed an unnatural look.
The reason for this decision is not because of morality and humanitarianism, but because of the experience of testing special ammunition and a large number of human experiments, the soldiers who were seriously disgusted did not exercise the Japanese biped. Wolf heart lungs. In addition, the elves with low fertility rate are still taboo for biochemical weapons that may endanger themselves. They will not use these mass killers until a last resort.
With this luxurious configuration, the Siegfried line of defense is the most unbreakable fortress in the world. However, I don’t know if it’s because of the lack of security of the elves, or it’s not easy to make a defense line.
"The remaining shortcomings are mainly destroyer tanks serving as mobile defense forces. Since the production of tanks occupies most of the production capacity, the production of destroyer tanks is quite underground. In addition, the finalization of the heavy destroyer tank "hunting tiger" Not completed--"
"Suspend the research and development of "Hunting Tiger" and allocate some production lines to "Cheetah"."
"But this may affect the production of the main tank. Now the tank factory has entered the quasi-wartime system, and all workers are working in three shifts to put into production. Changing production operations at will may affect resource allocation and technology. Workers cannot use them centrally."
"Then reduce the output of heavy tanks."
Li Lin snapped the desktop lightly and said:
"Depending on the situation, you can allocate several heavy armored battalions and large ma to strengthen the mobile defense force on the defense line~EbookFREE.me~ If this is not enough, then try the "mouse", "e-100" and the like Work harder also."
"Subordinates understand."
"Let them hurry up, and at the latest by the beginning of next year, I hope our army has completed all the combat readiness work."
This sentence is undoubtedly said to all the generals present at the meeting. The sound of the heels in the meeting room suddenly sounded, and there was a roar of "Yes, sir!"
Li Lin paid a courtesy while saying scenes such as "sincere unity" and "cooperation between the kings", but his thoughts had flown to Rudes.
The preparations here cannot be relaxed, and Rudes also needs some excitement to further stimulate.
As for what should be called the "special agency", Li Lin is still considering it.
Is it called Dongchang? Is it better to call it Dongchang?
Anyway, the second prince already has many titles, don’t care about adding a title of "Eunuch of the East Factory Admiral", "nine thousand years old"... (to be continued...)
