Two hundred and fifty-nine. Access to the Indian Ocean
With the long whistle of the whistle, the fleet left the waters of the Natuna Sea Road, leaving the sea that once broke the heart of the Dawen Empire. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info
The fleet will bypass the Natuna Sea Passage and head south to finally arrive at Lan Fangguo, where it will make its final replenishment and rest on July 18, passing through the Strait of Malacca and entering the Indian Ocean.
After three days of sailing, the fleet arrived at Lanfangguo smoothly, the cruiser fleet stayed in the outer harbor area, while other ships entered the inner harbor area for rest and replenishment, the port of Lanfangguo was still a little small, and the heavy cruisers could not enter the port and anchor.
Lan Fangguo has always been a staunch ally of the Dawen Empire, and welcomed the arrival of the Dawen Empire's fleet, and held a grand welcome ceremony, Li Rujin, as the commander of the fleet, could not be absent.
When Li Rujin appeared in front of everyone's eyes wearing a white rear admiral's dress, the Lan Fangguo officials who participated in the welcome ceremony couldn't help but exclaim: "So young? ”
"Still a handsome guy!" These are the voices of the young girls who attended the welcoming ceremony. Fortunately, this world is not so arrogant to the earth, there are no large number of rotten girls, and there are no piercing sharp young women who are sprouting in their hearts, just look at Li Rujin secretly from time to time, and then blush, lower their heads, and sneak glances from time to time.
Compared with the shorter figure than the Lanfang people, Li Rujin's height of 1.8 meters is definitely tall, coupled with the major general's dress, it sets off Li Rujin's extraordinary posture, handsome and chic, and the young women and girls present have their eyes watery for a while.
Fortunately, these young women and girls still maintain a reserve, and those who still have marriageable and unmarried women at home, but they don't care so much, and ask around, who is the young man in front of him, whether he is married, such an excellent man, go up there to find it, and don't want to try to drag it home!
It's a pity that these people are destined to be disappointed, Li Rujin is already married, and he has two wives! But think about it, such an excellent and good man has not been attacked in the imperial capital for a long time, and it is their turn?
The welcome ceremony was a success, the communication between the two sides was harmonious and friendly, and all the results were on the good side, except for those young women, whether unmarried or married, who were resentful, how could they not meet such a wonderful man? I finally met one, but I was married!
After the grand welcome ceremony, Li Rujin did not stay at the luxury hotel prepared by Lan Fangguo, but returned to the ship. Good military discipline can not only be reflected on the battlefield, but in ordinary subtleties, it can show the excellent style of the soldiers of the Dawen Empire.
The boss didn't get off the ship to rest and set an example, needless to say, all the soldiers of the Dawen Empire rested on the ship that night, and no one got off the ship, and the various performances of the soldiers of the Dawen Empire won the praise of Lan Fangguo, this is the real soldier!
The fleet stayed in Lan Fang for a day and a half, and after the replenishment was over, the fleet left Lan Fang and prepared to sail through the Strait of Malacca to the Indian Ocean.
On July 16, the 11th year of the Dawen Empire, the naval fleet of the Dawen Empire successfully passed through the Strait of Malacca and prepared to enter the Indian Ocean.
After confirming the entry into the Indian Ocean, all the ships of the fleet raised to the maximum ang angle, "boom~, boom~, boom~" three consecutive salvos, a huge splash appeared in front of the fleet, and the huge roar of the fleet's heavy artillery announced: In the Indian Ocean, the fleet of the Dawen Empire has arrived!
After the ceremony, Li Rujin returned to the captain's room and wrote cautiously in the logbook: On July 16, the 11th year of the Great Wen Dynasty, at 11:55 a.m., the fleet of the Great Wen Empire officially entered the Indian Ocean!
This is a memorable day, on this day, the navy of the Dawen Empire has truly realized the leap from the near sea to the far sea, from the bathhouse basin to the deep blue! This day will be remembered in the history of the Dawen Empire!
The fleet slowed down and waited for the accompanying fleet behind it, and after an hour, the accompanying fleet caught up and made peace with the cruiser, and the fleet was again arranged in a "human" shape, and sailed mightily towards the Indian Ocean.
The fleet went all the way north along the coastline, and the crew on board also began to get busy, the Indian Ocean, which was still a strange sea area for the Dawen Empire, was busy measuring the salinity, temperature, current velocity and other hydrological data of the sea.
This first-hand detailed information will become the Empire's gradual understanding of the Indian Ocean, and lay a solid foundation for the Empire to establish a detailed database of the Indian Ocean.
The fleet of the Dawen Empire finally entered the Indian Ocean, but the Indian Ocean did not seem to be friendly to this strange visitor, and on the afternoon of the first day of the Dawen Empire's fleet entering the Indian Ocean, the fleet encountered its first test, and a storm was about to strike.
The first to discover the anomaly was the hydrological testers, who found that the water temperature dropped rapidly, and in less than half an hour, the water temperature of the sea water dropped by nearly four degrees, and this anomaly immediately attracted their attention and reported it to Li Rujin.
After Li Rujin got the report, he first shook it for a moment, and then reacted that the temperature of the sea water had dropped so much in a short period of time, which showed that the cold water layer under the ocean had been turned up, indicating that a storm was not far away.
Li Rujin was not at ease, in order to verify his guess, he hurriedly ordered the staff to find a hydrogen balloon and put it in his ear to feel it, and suddenly, a piercing pain drilled into his inner ear, Li Rujin knew that a storm was not far from the fleet.
Li Rujin secretly said that he was unlucky, sailing on the vast sea, what are he most afraid of? Isn't it just a storm?
Li Rujin immediately ordered the fleet to move closer to the coastline and at the same time prepare for the storm.
Li Rujin's order was very sudden, although the soldiers had some doubts in their hearts, but they still faithfully carried out the order, because the Dawei Empire did not have a navigation chart of the Indian Ocean at all, and the fleet arrived in the Indian Ocean for the first time.
The Indian Ocean is a completely unfamiliar sea for the fleet of the Dawei Empire, everything has to be explored by the fleet itself, and the only luck now is that the fleet of the Dawei Empire has always sailed on the coastline, which provides great convenience for fighting the storm.
The fleet smoothly approached the coastline and formed a semi-encirclement, with caravans and troop carriers in the innermost part of the encirclement and four light cruisers on the outside, while the Datang was at the outermost part of the encirclement, shielding the ships in the encirclement from the storm with its huge body.
At this time, all the personnel had already realized that something was wrong, the original clear sky was already cloudy unconsciously, the wind gradually became stronger, and the waves slapped on the hull of the ship wave after wave, turning into huge waves, and falling again in an instant.
A storm is approaching, and the fleet of the Dawen Empire will face the baptism of the storm!
