Chapter 187: Miro's Helplessness 2
Fortunately, it seems that the Chinese ship seems to have special needs in use, and every time it is shipped, it has to rest for a while, and some people say that the Chinese transport barrels of pungent water to the Dongfeng, and every time the ship stops, there are naturalized workers scraping large pieces of black ointment from the machine. Although Miro did not know what the connection was, it was certain that there was a direct connection between this thing and the Dongfeng's ability to sail the sea as he pleased. Especially now that the Dongfeng stopped in Hong Kong and failed to return to Dongfang Port, it shows that the Chinese lack the ability to drive this giant ship.
But even so, he didn't dare to take it lightly, there were still two basically completed ships in the dry dock of Dongfang Port, although they were much smaller than the Dongfeng, but the hull itself was not smaller than the Fengrui or the gorgeous ship. From the mast lookout, he spied on the two oddly shaped ships in the dry dock, with a wider hull and a ratio of what appeared to be four to one. And what worries him the most is the layout of the deck, the deck layout of the two ships is exactly the same, at least it looks the same. A relatively tall abutment is left in the position of the amidship, and the stern of the previous hull is nowhere to be seen, as if the stern has been moved directly to the amidship. There are several hollows on the deck of the ship, and under the construction of the Chinese, these hollows seem to be exactly the same boxy, and their size is also surprising, slightly wider than the length of a container. As soon as I saw this Miro, I was like a mirror in my heart, and this must be a transport ship built by the Chinese to replace the Dongfeng or add it to China's shipping capacity.
The Medenor people also have a fascination with capacity, such as the Gorgeous class of warships, which are designed and built to reduce the number of guns on the ships and increase the carrying capacity of the ships. But the layout of the artillery deck on these two transport ships of the Chinese was not at all visible, and it seemed that there was no intention of installing artillery at all. The hull was covered with a number of metal pipes, and a steel mast was erected on the fore and aft decks, which were not high, and had no mast beams, and were obviously not used for laying sails. Miro has seen Chinese craftsmen hoisting propellers next to dry docks, and it is clear that they have chosen this method to propel ships, so what are these masts used for? He quickly found a similar shadow in his memories - the cranes on the Dongfeng, if the ship can bring its own crane, then it can freely load goods anywhere, the Chinese are accumulating experience in making the next batch of Dongfeng, and at the speed at which they build these two ships, they will be able to build a large transport fleet of ten to twelve transport ships of the same type in less than two years. He couldn't help but gasp, this kind of transport ship should be able to have a displacement of three or four thousand tons, as long as three are basically able to withstand a Dongfeng, if there are ten to twelve of the same large transport ships, then the sea coachman of Medeno still transports a fart? Business has been robbed of all by the Chinese.
And from Miro's point of view, if these ships are driven by screw thrusters, they will definitely be able to reach a fairly high speed, directly install artillery on them, and even be directly used to fight and seize sea supremacy with the Medeno people. This kind of hull is so huge, the use of screw propellers can greatly improve the mobility of the hull, reduce the complexity of personnel deployment, and in naval battles, it will definitely be able to greatly improve combat effectiveness, and with the tonnage of this kind of ship, not to mention carrying 600 to 800 people like the Fengrui class or the gorgeous class, even if it is loaded with 1,000 people, there is still enough space to hold enough food for this 1,000 people to consume for half a year. Thinking of this, Miro only left a bitter smile, at the beginning the Medeno people tried to eliminate the Chinese and failed, and now China is a force that the Medeno people are not capable of eliminating, and it only takes three or five years for the Chinese to have the maritime strength to directly challenge the Medeno in the South China Sea.
"Mr. Miro!" There was a soft knock and a nice sound at the door, and Miro hurriedly walked over and opened the door, and there stood a man in a black cloak at the door, and he hurriedly invited this person into the room. This person walked into the room and looked left and right, and carefully knocked lightly on the walls around him to make sure that there was no place to hide people, and then put down the hood on his head, which didn't matter, but startled Zhou Rui, who was in charge of monitoring in a room not far away.
Under the hood was a long head of blond hair, which looked a little messy under the hood, but it was obviously quite well maintained. Although most men and women of this era had long hair, the long hair of this black cloak was not at all messy like that of ordinary men, but instead had a ponytail tied at the back of the head, and seemed to have been carefully combed.
"This should be a woman." Zhou Rui said to himself, and at the same time picked up the telephone on the table and shook the handle of the generator, and when a voice came from the earpiece, he said softly, "Please take the twelve rounds." ”
The 12th Bureau is the code name of the Army Intelligence Agency in the call transfer center, and because the intelligence agencies need to keep secrets, they can only use the code name method to transfer calls to avoid leaks.
Soon a woman's voice came from the earpiece, "Hey? What dishes are needed? Zhou Rui couldn't help but smile slightly, but said very carefully, "I'm in the guest house in the business district, and I want to have a tofu." ”
The hatred of the land, the only Chamo, the cold ship, the early post
The identity of the other side was quickly confirmed, and with a murmur of switching lines, a very familiar voice sounded, "Zhou Rui, what's wrong?" ”
The hatred of the land, the lone ship, the cold ship, the early post, "This should be a woman." Zhou Rui said to himself, and at the same time picked up the telephone on the table and shook the handle of the generator, and when a voice came from the earpiece, he said softly, "Please take the twelve rounds." ”
"Chief!" Zhou Rui hurriedly said, "I saw an unusual situation here, in the monitoring, please take a look, Line 4." With that, he hung up the phone and pressed a few keys on the console on his desktop. The screen in front of Ren Xuefeng immediately showed the picture, due to the long-distance transmission, even if the signal was enhanced through the soil law, there was still a lot of interference, and because the line was too long, the line was interrupted and the sound could not be heard. At this moment, there are horizontal stripes on the screen, and there are vertical stripes that keep shaking, Ren Xuefeng often laughs at himself and says that no matter what he sees, it seems to be watching a zebra that can run.
The knot branch is far cool, and Sun Xueyu is lonely and lonely
But even with the interference, he was able to get a rough picture of Miro's room on a four-millimeter lens. Miro was now standing respectfully at the table beside him, standing with his hands down and looking respectful. And in front of him stood a blonde woman, this woman was wearing a black cloak, although I couldn't see what her figure was, but I could see that she was standing quite imposing, an obvious superior momentum. But at this time, the woman turned her back to the camera, he couldn't see the woman's appearance, and the movements of the two people could tell what the woman was saying, but because the audio cable was broken on the way, and it was still being investigated, he couldn't hear the sound from Miro's room at the moment.
"Interesting!" Ren Xuefeng said as he took off the windbreaker hanging on the hanger on the side, draped it on his body and walked out of the office. Behind the many desks outside the office, a lot of naturalized workers immediately stood up, "Hello chief! ”
After the distant affection of the ground, the ball is lonely by the sailing ball
"You're busy, I'll go out for a while." Ren Xuefeng said and walked straight to the door.
At this moment, in Miro's room, the woman was questioning Miro, "Captain Miro, I know that you are a very far-sighted and capable official of our Meideno intelligence agency, but I am very dissatisfied with what you said in the port office today, why did you lower your own price and obey the demands of the Chinese?" ”
"My honorable lady," said Miro, bowing to her helplessly, "you are one of the important members of the National Committee, and one of the decision-makers of the entire Maidno State Policy, don't you see our awkward position now?" ”
The woman shook her head, but then nodded again, "I know we don't have any advantage now, but we are here to conduct diplomatic negotiations between the two sides, and your brain has accepted the other party's request, so how can we proceed with the next negotiations?" She was obviously in a hurry, speaking quite quickly, and when she was about to finish, she caused a cough, and she couldn't help but cover her chest with her right hand, and her brow frowned, as if she was quite pained.
After not far away, the cool enemy learns from the yang and is lonely
Seeing this, Miro hurriedly picked up a teacup from the table and placed it in it, put some tea prepared by the housekeeping department inside, then opened the thermos on the side, poured out most of the cup of hot water, and then handed the cup of tea to the woman, "My honorable lady, you also know that we used almost half of the strength of the Medeno fleet to wipe out the fleet of the Wu Kingdom, ensuring that we can dominate the sea in the following hundreds of years. ”
"I know," the woman took the teacup, coughed lightly, and continued, "isn't that what we're after now?" Why did we send a fleet to blockade the perimeter of Vostochny Port? Isn't it to monopolize the trade of this group of Chinese? ”
"But when we came, you also followed us to the banquet outside Wenshan Port, and you also saw the severely damaged sharp ships and gorgeous ships, which were only captured from a destroyer that we retired and gifted to pirates," Miro said and opened the tea can, poured out a small pinch of tea leaves, and laid it out on the desk, "You see, this is the position of our fleet when it attacked the Chinese fleet at that time, although you are a woman, but I know that you are very interested in naval tactics, so you must be able to see it." ”
"Huh?" The woman couldn't help but be stunned when she saw the formation of tea on the table, and Miro explained on the side, "The south side of the several Chinese ships surrounded by reefs, and the other sides are divided and surrounded by our fleet, which can almost be called textbook perfect in naval tactics, but when the war started, everything did not go as we expected, and the Chinese destroyer not only did not flee or abandon the ship and wait for death as we expected, but broke out a very resolute fighting spirit, And their weapons are different from the ones that we have used for almost a hundred years, their weapons are not only powerful, but also more accurate, and they are fired much faster, and our ships simply do not have any advantage in front of them. ”
"But we have so many ships, why can't we rush all at once? Block them, and they won't be able to escape! The woman pointed to the Chinese ship surrounded in the middle and said, Miro shook his head with a wry smile, "My lady, the naval battle is not like this, most of our heavily damaged ships were injured and broke the mast, and more of them were rupture and flooded, and it was already very lucky if it didn't sink, and if it lost power in the naval battle, it was simply waiting for death." Not only can the ships that cannot move escape, but they also block the movement and fire of the ships behind them, and the more ships rush up before the opponent's fire can be resolved, the more difficult it will be to win. ”
"Then we now have a full 15,000 marines in Annam, more than 10 infantry battalions in Annan, more than 70,000 mercenaries are rushing from Europa to this side, and more than 630 ships of the Pacific Southern Fleet and the Eastern Fleet are moored outside Wenshan Harbor, and there are more than 100,000 sailors alone," the woman said, pointing out the window with her hand. "Now I see that there are not enough Chinese at all, and our army has been a good warrior with rich combat experience since its formation," she said and looked at the two straight marines standing at the gate downstairs, "Although their people still look a little imposing, but our combat experience is definitely richer than theirs, and now that there are more than 150,000 people in Annan, why should we be afraid of a small force with a total number of women and children not exceeding 100,000?" ”
Miro maintained a mechanical smile on his face, "My lady, although I have not seen the Chinese engage in war, the weapons they have developed are very good, their rifles can use a very interesting technology to ensure range and loading speed, artillery can also kill us at a distance of seven hundred meters, and what is more terrifying is that they also have things that can fly in the air, huge in shape, and seem to be able to transport a lot of things." When those things are flying in the sky, our weapons simply can't threaten them. And they are able to attack us at any time from a safe height and distance. As he spoke, he spread his hands, "My lady, how do you say such a battle should be fought?" ”
"Do you just have no faith in ourselves?" The woman sat down on the bed a little angrily, took off the cloak on her body, revealing a light blue long dress, and she continued angrily, "You said, we have learned about the Chinese's technology on muskets, and now it has been put into production in Yaning, why are you so afraid of the Chinese?" When the weapons of both sides are similar, it is the number of people who decide the victory of the war! ”
"My lady," said Miro, "they have more than just muskets than us! As she spoke, the woman suddenly pointed to the air outside the window and asked, "What's that?" ”
