Chapter 458: Energy Legion (I)
From Zhang Xiaogang, Chu Tianjiang also learned a lot of things.
The military operation against Russia has achieved a phased victory, but the biggest winner is not China, but the European federation with France and Germany at its core.
After the withdrawal of the invaders, France, Germany and Italy established the European Confederation as quickly as possible. In just one month, France, Germany and Italy forced all continental European countries from the three Baltic states to Portugal to join the European Federation through various means such as diplomatic negotiations, political deals, and military threats, and became administrative subjects without national sovereignty, and then created the European federal government, the federal parliament and the federal Supreme Court with France, Germany and Italy as the core, and also issued a federal constitution, laying a solid foundation for the establishment of a federal European unity. Subsequently, the European Federation conquered the three Nordic countries of Norway, Sweden and Finland without blood, and when Chu Tianjiang went to Russia, he sent troops to occupy Britain, Belarus and Ukraine, and also let Turkey join the alliance through political negotiations, realizing the great unification of Europe.
Of course, this is not a great unification, because Russia is also a European country.
When China sent troops to Russia, the European Federation seized this golden opportunity and captured Moscow before the Chinese army.
According to Zhang Xiaogang, the Ural Mountains became the "border line" between China and the European Federation.
Although Yang Fanglie was very annoyed by the European Federation's behavior of taking advantage of the fire, there was enough evidence that at least three energy sources were in the hands of the European Federation, one of which descended on the European continent, one on the United Kingdom, and the other on Africa. Because Chu Tianjiang was still in the United States and did not go to Europe, Yang Fanglie decided to resume the use of troops against the United States and then compete with the European Federation after dealing with the United States.
Obviously, the key is whether Chu Tianjiang can go to Europe to obtain the three energy sources.
After figuring it out, Chu Tianjiang knew why Zhang Xiaogang asked him to form an energy man legion for Lu, because this legion would be the capital for him to go to Europe to seize the energy source.
That afternoon, Zhang Xiaogang left Lakewood after obtaining two different energy bodies from Chu Tianjiang.
Before leaving, Zhang Xiaogang also told Chu Tianjiang to bring all the people in the legion, even those soldiers who had not been transformed into energy people. As for the matter on Denver's side, there is the X Doomsday Legion and the Rose Legion, so there is no need for Connie's legion to stay.
Of course, what Zhang Xiaogang said the most was to let Chu Tianjiang go to New York only after he was fully prepared.
It's just that Chu Tianjiang doesn't feel the need for this.
That night, after Connie and the others fused the two energy bodies to become triple energy people like Nichol and them, and after Valentin and Leonid returned to Lakewood, Chu Tianjiang led the team south to Houston, and let Valentin and Leonid take the lead to find Andre. Considering that he wanted to help Craig deal with the Houston white group, Chu Tianjiang also brought five hundred X Doomsday Warriors.
This is not a caravan, but a legion, and naturally no one dares to provoke along the way.
Two days later, Chu Tianjiang and the others arrived in Houston.
The fast warship sent by Zhang Xiaogang had already arrived, but instead of entering the port of Houston, it was anchored in the open sea about a hundred kilometers from Houston.
After letting Valentin take the helicopter provided by Craig to contact the fast battleship, Chu Tianjiang went to visit Craig.
Of course, Chu Tianjiang's main purpose was to send Angelina to his father. The Denver Jewish clique has been destroyed, and the X-Doomsday Warriors brought by Chu Tianjiang are enough to help Craig eliminate the Houston white clique, and then the main force of the Chinese army will cross Rocky Mountain and capture the Midwest of the United States. As long as Craig arrives at Lakewood and works with the Asian group, there will be no problems with the safety of their father and daughter.
Fortunately, Craig didn't let his daughter continue to follow Chu Tianjiang, and Angelina just wanted to be an ordinary person.
Knowing that Chu Tianjiang was going to New York by boat, Craig immediately ordered his men to prepare a large amount of fresh food and drinks, and sent people to the port of Houston to clear a wharf. Subsequently, Craig personally sent Chu Tianjiang to the port, and also sent Chu Tianjiang and them to the fast warship.
Strictly speaking, this is not a battleship, but a double-hull luxury cruise ship with a full load displacement of more than 50,000 tons!
Built before the cataclysm, it was the world's first two-hull luxury cruise ship capable of circumnavigating the world. The cruise ship can carry up to 1,200 passengers and 1,500 crew members, with a cruising range of 10,000 nautical miles at 24 knots and 6,000 nautical miles at 35 knots, making it the fastest cruise ship on the North Atlantic route from the port of Amsterdam to New York at a top speed of 45 knots.
Unfortunately, shortly after the cruise ship was built, the catastrophe struck.
At the time of the impact, the ship had just completed its pre-delivery acceptance work at the Dalian shipyard and was undergoing a speed test in the Bohai Bay.
Like the other vessels, the ship, which had been ordered by a Dutch shipping company, was not officially delivered.
After the restoration, the ship was requisitioned by the Chinese Navy and became a Navy Formation Ship.
Speaking of battleships, perhaps it has something to do with the 100-mm compact naval gun installed in the bow and the seven-barreled 30-mm rapid-fire gun installed on the aft deck. In addition, there were four twenty-mm single-barreled naval guns on board, as well as several large-caliber machine guns. Although the firepower is not very strong, far worse than a real warship, it is certainly more than enough to deal with the armed speedboats used by pirates to hijack freighters.
The cruise ship is large, but not luxurious. If it weren't for its special purpose, the ship would probably have been washed up and stranded on the beach by the tsunami, and would have rusted away from the sun and rain, eventually turning into a pile of broken copper. Judging from the interior decoration of the cruise ship, the time spent on repairs and renovations is very limited, and many cabins have only a few beds, and there are not even cabinets for personal belongings. In some cabins, there are no toilets at all, and some of them don't even have the necessary facilities such as washbasins and toilets.
Fortunately, power equipment such as turbines, propulsion equipment such as waterjets, and control equipment such as steering gears and heading thrusters have not only been repaired, but also improved. In addition, the degree of automation of cruise ships is very high, and the main cabins such as the engine room and propulsion cabin can be unmanned, and only three people need to control the slipway. Theoretically, only twenty-two crew members are needed to drive the ship to any location.
There were more than 50 seamen who came with the ship, and Chu Tianjiang asked them to stay in Houston, and then follow Craig to Denver, and then follow the troops back to China.
After loading all the cargo, the battleship, renamed the "New World Frontier", set sail.
As a result of the catastrophe, the average depth of the Florida Channel was less than 10 meters, and there was an intermittent land bridge between the Florida peninsula and Cuba. The ship first had to travel south through the Gulf of Mexico, through the Yucatan Strait and the Cayman Sea into the Caribbean Sea, and from the Mona Strait into the North Atlantic Ocean before heading to New York. The route is five thousand nautical miles long. Although the tanks were converted to a 50 percent increase in tank capacity and were able to sail 6,000 nautical miles at 45 knots, it also meant spending almost five days at sea.
In these five days, Chu Tianjiang can do a lot of things.
After the cruise ship went to sea, at the request of Clara and Nichol, Chu Tianjiang isolated the back half of the top open-air deck, that is, the area near the swimming pool, as a private area for several of them, and only allowed Chu Tianjiang, Connie and a few other legion members to go, and male personnel such as the three Andre brothers were not allowed to trespass. Andre was very knowledgeable, and immediately told Chu Tianjiang's arrangement to the Fukushima brothers and Samuel, as well as Jimmy and other four imps, so that they could be conscious and not provoke Clara and Nichol.
On the first day, Chu Tianjiang transformed the three Andre brothers, the Fukushima brothers, and Samuel.
Although according to Zhang Xiaogang's suggestion, Chu Tianjiang only gave them two energy bodies, but they were still treated differently, that is, the transformation of the three Andre brothers was more thorough, and they were also given some additional energy bodies, so that they had stronger combat power than the Fukushima brothers and Samuel and the other four. As for the Fukushima brothers and Samuel, Chu Tianjiang only made the necessary transformations and did not give them additional energy bodies. It's not that Chu Tianjiang doesn't trust them, but he wants to use this to consolidate the position of the three Andrei brothers, so that the three Andrei brothers can lead this "male team". Don't forget, the three Andrei brothers married Anna's three younger sisters, who were relatives of Chu Tianjiang.
The next day, Chu Tianjiang went all out to transform the forty squadron leaders in the legion.
There were originally forty-five squadron leaders, five of whom were killed in the battle against the X-Warrior Legion, and seven of the remaining forty were seriously wounded. Like Andre and them, Chu Tianjiang gave these forty squadron leaders two energy bodies, but did not give additional energy bodies. Although the spiritual exchange had inevitable consequences, with the experience of dealing with Connie and them, Chu Tianjiang knew how to treat them.
On the third and fourth days, Chu Tianjiang focused on more than a hundred squad leaders. Because Chu Tianjiang did not obtain a lot of energy bodies, the more than a hundred team leaders were just ordinary energy people, and they did not obtain the second energy body, but Chu Tianjiang gave them some additional energy bodies. Like dealing with those squadron leaders, Chu Tianjiang only promised to let them follow left and right, and did not make any more promises.
When the Energy Man Legion was formed, it was only a day's flight away from New York.
The last day is the real key.
