The 137th Armored Division and the 136th Mechanized Infantry Division of the 64th Army, which had been transferred from the country to strengthen the Transcaucasian Corps, were not allowed to go ashore at all after arriving in Baku, and were transferred to the Donets battlefield.

The 6th Army of East Francia, which departed from Kherson, retreated after being attacked by the Tang Air Force, leaving plenty of time for the reinforcements of the Tang State.

The Supreme Command finally decided to deal with the European coalition forces in the Crimean battlefield first, and continued to transfer two armored divisions and three infantry divisions from China to the Eastern European theater, and at the same time, the 7th armored division and the 3rd Mountain Army were urgently dispatched from the Middle East Army Corps to the Eastern European theater. A landing operation that eventually led to a full-scale decisive battle between the Donets and the European allies.

After the 137th Panzer Division and the 136th Mechanized Infantry Division landed in Volga, the Tang Army began to advance unhindered to the lower reaches of the Dnieper. An Zongxing, who had just been promoted to general, gave up the pursuit of Prince Eugen's East Francian B cluster, and joined forces with Su Youting to march to the lower reaches of the Dnieper with all his might.

As more and more troops came ashore in the Kuban steppe, Sun Henian was finally able to breathe a sigh of relief.

……

North America, Gulf of Mexico, Xinsongjiang Beihai Shipyard.

The slipway of the American shipyard, which was not very large in the Tang Empire, was particularly busy after the war.

At present, the shipyard's slipway is not only building a 13,000-ton "City-class" light cruiser, but also several destroyers, frigates and several submarines for the Imperial Navy. With the implementation of the standardization and mass manufacturing mode of ships formulated by the Imperial Navy, coupled with the use of sectional construction, this greatly shortened the construction period of the slipway, and greatly improved the construction speed of ships in the entire Imperial shipyard.

For example, before the war, the entire construction and outfitting of the lead ship of this class of cruisers, the "Yongzhou", took two and a half years, but after the adoption of new construction standards and processes, it only took about a year and a half for this class of cruisers to be able to conduct sea trials after the start of construction.

Under the scorching sun, Ling Kaiyu led the officers and men of the whole ship to line up on the deck, and a brief ceremony for the new ship of the destroyer "Jiaxing" was held on the dock of the shipyard. The commander of the 2nd cruiser fleet of the North Atlantic Fleet of the Imperial Navy, Rear Admiral Sa Sung-joon, took part in the commissioning ceremony of the modified "Kojo" class destroyer and made a brief speech.

During the war, officers were promoted really quickly, and in less than two years since the start of the war, Ling Kaiyu had been promoted by two ranks, and now he has just turned 27 years old and has become a naval lieutenant.

Due to the fact that the anti-aircraft firepower density of the large ocean-going destroyers of the "Small City" class was not sufficient in actual combat, the main guns of the destroyers of this class that the Imperial Navy began to build in batches after the start of the war were changed from the original four single-mounted 130-mm high-level dual-purpose guns to four twin 105-mm anti-aircraft turrets, which increased their air defense capability.

This class of destroyers became the main frigates that accompanied the air formation to perform dual anti-aircraft and anti-submarine missions.

"Jiaxing" and the "Jizhou", "Wuzhou", and "Anbei" rushed from the new Liaodong naval base converged and formed a formation and went to Port-au-Prince in the Caribbean Sea, preparing to form the 24th destroyer fleet together with the "Qingzhou" light cruiser formation there, and then went to the waters of Iceland to join the 5th Air Fleet of the Imperial Navy, which was on combat duty.

Before the war, the Imperial Navy destroyer fleet was generally organized into a 6,000-ton "Zhoucheng" class light cruiser as the lead ship of the destroyer fleet, and then organized into four destroyers. However, after the start of the war, the number of destroyers built and equipped by the Imperial Navy increased dramatically, and the number of "Zhoucheng" class light cruisers as the lead ships was obviously insufficient, so the size of each destroyer detachment had to be expanded, from the original four destroyers to the current eight destroyers.

It seems that it will not be long before the destroyer squadrons will continue to expand.

The weather was not very high, and the destroyer fleet formed a double column and sailed towards the Sindenju Strait in the wind and waves. In the waters of the Gulf of Mexico, there was practically nothing that could threaten the forces of the Don fleet. European ships and even submarines were completely extinct in the Gulf of Mexico after the Empire intensified anti-submarine air patrols, and there was no trace of them at all.

In the bridge of the "Jiaxing", Ling Kaiyu and the deputy captain were standing in front of the bridge and chatting.

His co-captain was Ha Yanxing, a naval captain who had just graduated less than two years ago. He is only twenty-four years old this year, but he looks younger on the outside, and the beard on his face has not yet grown hard.

"There may be a big operation, I heard that the above is very dissatisfied with the fact that the Icelandic campaign has not been completed so far, and Marshal Pei Yunsong personally flew to the new Yuzhou base a few days ago." Ha Yanxing was talking about the "gossip" that he heard from nowhere, and Ling Kaiyu just laughed at it after hearing it.

The European coalition was very tenacious in Iceland, and their air force planes were able to fly from the Faroe Islands all the way to the airfield in Reykjavík, and the Imperial Army and Navy were unable to control the air in that area, and the progress of the Icelandic campaign was not very smooth since the landing.

At present, the landing force of the Imperial Army and Navy and the West Frankish Army are in a state of confrontation across the ice fields in the center of Iceland, and neither can help the other for the time being.

This state of affairs naturally made the Supreme High Command very dissatisfied.

At present, the main task of the North Atlantic Fleet of the Imperial Navy is to take Iceland!

The Navy's current strategic posture is that the 7th Air Fleet of the North Atlantic Fleet commanded by Admiral Xie Zhaokun is based in various ports in the Caribbean region and its main task is to carry out operations to break diplomatic relations in the waters of the North Atlantic, while the 5th Air Fleet of the North Atlantic Fleet commanded by Admiral Tang Jinchao is based on the southern coast of North America and is mainly responsible for ensuring the security of the transport fleet with Iceland and blocking the sea transportation routes of the "United States of America."

At present, the Royal Navy of West Francia has nearly 300 submarines, of which the performance of S-class and T-class submarines is very good, and the East Francian Navy has nearly 500 submarines. In the waters of the North Atlantic, contrary to the situation at the beginning of the war, the Tang Navy now has surface control of these waters, but underwater, on the contrary, European submarines are frequent.

The biggest headache for the North Atlantic Fleet of the Tang State has now become anti-submarine warfare.

The Imperial Navy now clearly felt the inadequacy of the number of armament of light ships.
