In the sea a few meters below the sea surface, a slender submarine is sailing at an unfast speed, inside this submarine, the captain Xu Zhenjie observed the situation on the sea surface for a long time through the periscope, but did not gain at all, so Xu Zhenjie ordered to temporarily withdraw the periscope, and then said to the first mate Chen Zeng beside him with a sigh: "Maybe the fleet of the Monia Empire and the Ruierlan Empire did not take this route, so we can't make this trip in vain." ”

Xu Zhenjie commanded a torpedo boat in the naval battle of Ambo Harbor between the independent fleet and the navies of Sharad, Gisk, and Orenza, and sank the Sharad Navy Dreadnought Battleship Conflict with a torpedo, and severely damaged the flagship of the Sharad Navy's Second Expeditionary Fleet, the Ares Super Dreadnought Battleship, which made the God of War Super Dreadnought Battleship eventually become the trophy of the Independent Fleet, which can be said to have made a great contribution, and was promoted to the captain of a destroyer soon after.

When the submarine force of the Royal Navy of the Tang Empire was established, Xu Zhenjie was appointed as the captain of the U18 submarine, and Chen Zeng, a navy-type junior combat biochemical who had been following Xu Zhenjie, was also transferred to the U18 submarine and continued to serve as the first mate under Xu Zhenjie.

At present, the sixty VIIC submarines equipped by the submarine force of the Royal Navy of the Tang Empire were named U1-U60 by Su Yi, as for why Su Yi used the letter U to represent submarines, Su Yi did not explain to his subordinates.

First mate Chen Zeng immediately said: "This time, all sixty of our submarine forces have come out, as long as the information from the intelligence department is correct, the fleets of Monia and Ruierland, which are carrying three infantry corps, will not want to escape the net laid by our submarine force in the waters near the Liuyun Empire." ”

Xu Zhenjie rubbed his hands and said: "I finally caught up with a big battle, I don't want our U18 to miss this opportunity to make great contributions, according to the intelligence department, the fleet of the Monia Empire and the Ruierland Empire, but there are ten super dreadnought battleships and ten battle cruisers, I am not greedy, as long as our U18 can kill one of them." ”

First mate Chen Zeng said with a smile: "Captain, you are not greedy, I think that if our U18 can take out a super dreadnought battleship or a battle cruiser, maybe Your Majesty will personally award medals to all the officers and men of our U18." ”

At present, Su Yi has temporarily formulated three medals for the army, namely bronze medals, silver medals and gold medals, which will be awarded to officers and soldiers who have made meritorious contributions.

Xu Zhenjie smiled and said: "Of course, the medal must be wanted, but what I value more is the military rank system that will be implemented in the Royal Navy of our Tang Empire, according to my current position, at most the rank of major can be awarded, if our U18 can sink a super dreadnought battleship or a battle cruiser, maybe when the military rank system is implemented, I will be able to become a lieutenant colonel." ”

After Su Yi ascended the throne, he was ready to implement the military rank system in the armies of the Tang Empire and the Purple Moon Empire, according to the military ranks formulated by Su Yi, the officers from top to bottom were marshals, generals, lieutenant generals, major generals, brigadier generals, colonels, lieutenant colonels, majors, captains, lieutenants and second lieutenants, non-commissioned officers have three levels, namely sergeant, sergeant and corporal, and soldiers have two levels, namely senior soldiers and privates.

However, because the Tang Empire, the Purple Moon Empire, and the Seven Nations Alliance entered a state of war, Su Yi decided to suspend the implementation of the military rank system in the armies of the two countries.

First mate Chen Zeng said jokingly: "Captain, I think you have become an official fan." ”

Xu Zhenjie said indifferently: "Your Majesty has said that a soldier who doesn't want to be a general is not a good soldier, and a lieutenant colonel is not my goal, I must become a general in the future." ”

First mate Chen Zeng said with a smile: "My Excellency General, let's go to breakfast first!" Wait until you're full to achieve your great goals! ”

Although Chen Zeng is only a navy-type junior combat cyborg, the longer the junior cyborgs are summoned, the smaller the difference between them and ordinary people, and the higher their emotional intelligence becomes, unlike when they were first summoned, the whole person is so wooden, so many of the junior cyborgs who were summoned by Su Yi in the early days have also held a lot of positions in the army.

These junior cyborgs who have been summoned for a long time are only slightly inferior to mid-level cyborgs in terms of military skills and command strategy, and the differences in other aspects are not so obvious.

After Xu Zhenjie and the first mate Chen Zeng finished breakfast, Xu Zhenjie picked his teeth with a toothpick, and returned to the front of the periscope, and ordered the soldiers to raise the periscope again.

After Xu Zhenjie observed the situation on the sea surface through the periscope for a while, a look of excitement suddenly appeared on his face, "Hurry up-turn-there is smoke in the northeast direction, it is likely to be the fleet of the Monia Empire and the Ruierlan Empire!" ”

Half an hour later, Xu Zhenjie finally determined that the huge fleet that appeared on the sea was indeed the fleet of the Monia Empire and the Ryerland Empire transporting three infantry corps, and then Xu Zhenjie transmitted this information, as well as the specific location of the U18 at this time, to the headquarters of the Royal Navy of the Tang Empire, as well as other submarines of the submarine force.

Next, Xu Zhenjie said to the first mate Chen Zeng in a deep voice: "I am going to select a super dreadnought battleship or a battle cruiser of the enemy to launch a torpedo attack, what do you think?" ”

First mate Chen Zeng hesitated for a moment and said: "Is it not to wait for the nearby submarines to come, and then launch an attack on the fleet of the Monia Empire and the Ruierlan Empire together, and my U18 will attack alone, will it be a little alarming?" ”

Xu Zhenjie shook his head and said: "The maximum speed of our U18 underwater is less than 8 knots, and the overall speed of this fleet of the Monia Empire and the Ruierlan Empire is about 10 knots or more, and we can't wait for other submarines to come, the fighters are fleeting, and we U18 can only attack alone." ”

First mate Chen Zeng immediately said firmly: "The captain is reasonable, I agree to launch an attack immediately and strive to take out a super dreadnought battleship or a battle cruiser." ”

Xu Zhenjie suddenly showed a cruel smile and said: "The outside world has never known about the existence of the submarine force of our Royal Navy of the Tang Empire, so today we will use the Monia Navy or the Ruierlan Navy to give our submarine force a flag!" ”

At about eight o'clock in the morning of October 6, 3013 in the Tang calendar, Pifanu, the commander of the escort fleet of the Monia Royal Navy, had just finished breakfast and was drinking coffee when suddenly several violent explosions were heard on the sea one after another.

Pifanu put the coffee cup on the table and quickly looked out of the observation window of the bridge, and then his face showed an extremely shocked expression, at this time, the Monia Royal Navy Banshee-class super dreadnought battleship Narcissus turned into thick smoke.

Immediately after that, the Narcissus, a super dreadnought battleship with a full load displacement of up to 26,400 tons, under the watchful eyes of Pifanu, another more violent explosion occurred, and this explosion blew the Narcissus in two and quickly sank to the surface.

At this time, the commander Pifanu's face changed dramatically and shouted: "Hurry up and find out the situation of the Narcissus, why did it explode?" ”

Harowe, the captain of the Banshee next to him, said with some horror: "Could the Narcissus be attacked by a submarine?" With so many light cruisers and destroyers opening the way ahead, the Narcissus should not have run into mines. ”

The U18 submarine, which has sunk more than 50 meters below the sea surface, is a cheer, the VIIC submarine has a total of five 533 mm torpedo tubes, four of which are in the bow, Xu Zhenjie commanded the U18 submarine, from the bottom of the sea to less than a thousand meters away from the Monia Royal Navy Narcissus Super Dreadnought Battleship, before ordering to fire four 533 mm torpedoes at the Narcissus Super Dreadnought Battleship in one breath, and all four 533 mm torpedoes hit the Narcissus Super Dreadnought Battleship.

The most lethal torpedo hit the position of the torpedo compartment in the front of the super dreadnought battleship Narcissus, which happened to be the weaker underwater armor on the side of the Narcissus, and what was even more unfortunate was that the explosion caused more than a dozen compressed gas cylinders in the torpedo compartment to also burst, each cylinder was filled with compressed air prepared for firing torpedoes, which greatly increased the destructive power, although dozens of 500-mm torpedoes in the torpedo compartment did not immediately detonate, but the torpedo compartment was on fire.

Soon the fire covered dozens of 500-mm torpedoes in the torpedo compartment, and without even giving the damage control personnel on the Narcissus, leaving a little time to put out the fire, dozens of 500-mm torpedoes were killed, blowing the Super Dreadnought battleship Narcissus in two.

Xu Zhenjie couldn't hide his excitement and said to the first mate Chen Zeng: "We still have ten torpedoes left on our U18, and we can at least kill a big guy!" ”

Although the first mate Chen Zeng was also happy, he hesitated and said: "Captain, the warships of the Monia Navy and the Ruierlan Navy should also be equipped with depth charges, our U18 is now in the fleets of their two countries, once our U18 floats to a depth that can launch torpedoes, it is easy to expose the position of our U18." ”

Xu Zhenjie nodded and said: "I also know that if I continue to attack, I may keep our U18 position, but this opportunity is too good, it is too wasteful to give up, I want to gamble and kill a super dreadnought battleship or a battlecruiser!" ”

First mate Chen Zeng gritted his teeth and said, "Captain, since you have decided, then do it!" Anyway, today our U18 has already killed a super dreadnought battleship, even if we can't go back in the end, it's enough! ”

Xu Zhenjie suddenly showed a smile and said: "Our U18 can dive below two hundred, and it is not so easy for the Monia Navy and the Ruierland Navy to keep our U18." ”
