Chapter 218: Get Out
Early in the morning, the Imperial Capital Navy Command.
The meeting held in the residence of the first assistant lasted until four o'clock in the morning, Liu Changxun had a big quarrel with Situ Jingde, and the situation was only controlled after Xue Yuanzheng personally intervened, and the meeting was declared over. By the time Liu Changxun returned to the headquarters, it was almost dawn.
Liu Changxun is very tired, it can be said that he is physically and mentally haggard, but it is not yet time to rest.
In the morning, a meeting had to be held at the Navy Command to make arrangements for combat operations, but in fact, the main thing was to get the various departments into action.
During this time, Liu Changxun has been thinking.
It would be great if Zhu Shijian was twenty years younger, even if he was ten years younger!
With Zhu Shijian in charge, these problems will not exist at all now.
Sitting in this office, it's a moment of restlessness.
"You can't go in, the commander-in-chief is still resting, what's the ......"
"Bang-"
Before the secretary could finish his sentence, the door was pushed open.
With a lot of force, the door panel hit the wall directly.
An officer rushed in, and the secretary followed.
Recognizing that it was Zheng Jiangming, Liu Changxun waved his hand at the secretary.
The secretary was also very annoyed, he tried his best, but this Zheng Jiangming was like going crazy, and he couldn't stop it. Besides, everyone is a civilized person, and if you have anything to say, you need to be rude. However, the commander-in-chief didn't say anything, and the secretary was not angry with Zheng Jiangming.
When he withdrew, the secretary glared at Zheng Jiangming viciously, as if he remembered today's events.
"Commander-in-chief, I know you've just come back, and there will be an important meeting later, so I shouldn't bother you, but you have to look at this information you just received."
As he spoke, Zheng Jiangming stepped forward and handed over the folder he brought to Liu Changxun.
"Intelligence from the Sixth Bureau?"
Zheng Jiangming nodded and didn't explain much.
Flipping it over, Liu Changxun's face immediately became gloomy.
If it weren't particularly important, Zheng Jiangming wouldn't have broken into the commander-in-chief's office in the early morning, and listening to what he said, he had been guarding the headquarters all night.
That's right, it's a lot of information.
Yesterday evening, the Newland Federation freighter, carrying maintenance equipment, arrived at the fort Tuk and unloaded its cargo overnight.
The point is that all four fast battleships of the "Golden Steel" class are in good condition.
Although the source of the intelligence is not mentioned, the document emphasizes that the information is reliable and that the four fast battleships are combat-ready.
In addition, the Nuland freighter unloaded a batch of fourteen-inch shells.
Combined with the information obtained earlier, the Sixth Bureau concluded that this batch of shells had been intended to be sold to the Narrow Imperial State before the war, but the heavy armor-piercing shells that had not negotiated the price. Because it had already been produced, it was stored at the base of the pipe island before the outbreak of the Great War.
It is also normal that Guandao is one of the largest naval bases of the Nuland Navy in the Guia Ocean, and it is also the only naval base in the Guia that can act as a home port for capital ships. If it is decided to send troops to the war, it is very likely that the Nuland Navy will deploy several old battleships to the island.
In this way, the new artillery shells that have been stored in the area can come in handy.
Although the number is not very large, it is enough to fill the ammunition depot of four fast battleships, after all, the Narrow Navy ordered armor-piercing shells according to the standard of eight battleships.
As for how powerful these shells were, it's no secret.
The Imperial Navy has long developed a 350-mm heavy armor-piercing projectile, which has similar performance to the 14-inch heavy ammunition of the Nuland Navy, and poses a great threat to older battleships.
If anything, there was a threat to all treaty-type battleships.
Of course, with or without these shells, the four "Golden Steel" class ships are a great threat.
Zheng Jiangming sent this information to Liu Changxun's hands, and his intention was also very obvious.
If Lan Yun took those battleships and a few heavy cruisers to kill, the combat operations in the Guia Ocean would inevitably be affected.
In serious terms, it can even lead to the defeat of combat operations.
If nothing else, the sudden appearance on the battlefield of four fast battleships that pose a huge threat to aircraft carriers will inevitably cause the front-line commander to have some concerns, and then he will make adjustments to combat operations. It is not surprising that if the fighting is delayed as a result, the combat operation suffers a defeat.
In fact, no matter where the four "Golden Steels" went, as long as they left the Tuke fortress and operated in the western and eastern regions, it would be a great threat.
After reading it, Liu Changxun sighed heavily.
"Commander-in-Chief."
"The problem is really serious, but you know, the task force has been dispatched, even if I am the commander-in-chief, there are no troops to adjust now."
"And that's not all."
Liu Changxun was stunned, but then he understood.
Zheng Jiangming was talking about the two fast battleships that had just passed the acceptance.
Since the induction ceremony had not yet been held, the two fast battleships were temporarily placed under the command of the Navy.
It remains to be said which fleet will be incorporated into the future.
"In Puzhou, and it's an aircraft carrier."
"You mean ...... 'Yokoe'?"
Zheng Jiangming nodded and said, "According to the preliminary assessment report provided by the Southern Fleet, the damage to the 'Hengjiang' is not serious. If necessary, only the parts related to aviation operations need to be repaired, and the rest can be saved for after the battle is over. ”
Liu Changxun didn't speak, he only now understood that Zheng Jiangming was actually taking a chance for the Bai Zhi War.
After pondering for a moment, he said, "How many days will it take to fix it?" ”
"For the specific situation, you have to ask the shipyard. It's just that since the 'Hengjiang' can go to Puzhou on its own, the problem will not be too big. The addition of two fast battleships, supplemented by a couple of heavy cruisers, would be able to play a key role, if not lacking. ”
Liu Changxun quickly thought for a while and said, "You go and ask about the situation, how many days will it take to fix it, and give me a clear answer as soon as possible." It's just that don't talk nonsense about this matter for the time being, after all, the battle to attack Jedo is about to begin, and it must not affect or shake the morale of the army. ”
"Understood."
"Anything else?"
Zheng Jiangming was stunned for a moment, and hurriedly said, "Not for the time being." I will now contact General Bai Zhizhan and ask about the situation before reporting to the Commander-in-Chief. ”
Liu Changxun didn't say much, just waved his hand.
Zheng Jiangming dared to be verbose, and immediately left the commander-in-chief's office happily.
That's right, he's here to give the White Stop War a chance.
Last night, to be precise, in the early hours of the morning, after receiving the information sent by Wang Kaiyuan, Zheng Jiangming immediately thought that this was the opportunity for Bai Zhizhan to make a comeback.
There is a problem with saying this, after all, Bai Zhizhan has just returned triumphantly, and he has never been lonely, so he can't say that he will make a comeback.
Anyway, this is an opportunity to be able to re-lead the fleet on the expedition. What's more, if Bai Zhizhan continues to write magical, then when he returns triumphantly again, even the Liu family must admit that Bai Zhizhan is the number one commander of the Imperial Navy.
Before that, Zheng Jiangming also felt that he would get into trouble with Liu Changxun.
For this reason, he was also mentally prepared to go out. If it really doesn't work, then make a big fuss about the headquarters and make this matter known to everyone.
Where did he think of it, Liu Changxun directly agreed.
Is he a member of the Liu family, or a traitor to the Liu family!?
Zheng Jiangming was very puzzled, but it didn't matter, now that he got the order from the commander-in-chief, the rest depended on whether Bai Zhizhan could handle the shipyard.
