readx; At 23:11 p.m. on January 27, 1932, the 'Thorn Flower' double-weight armored escort anti-submarine large multi-purpose destroyer left the vast Chinese waters at a maximum speed of nearly 100 kilometers at a maximum speed of 70 knots under the strong kinetic energy of its four high-performance heavy gas turbines R55000 and a total of 220,000 horsepower.

During the voyage, the 'Thorn Flower class' carefully avoided some night patrol ships sent by foreign countries in the Shanghai Public Concession, and at the same time took advantage of the blind spot of these old foreign ** ships that were not fast and slow to react, and went to the high seas. In fact, Zhao Heng, who was on the ship, had long wanted to get rid of these annoying guys, but in order not to expose them and cause unnecessary trouble, he let go of these dazed and ignorant foreign ships who didn't know that the Grim Reaper had appeared around just now.

In order not to expose their 'Thorn Flower class', the whole ship not only carried out light control but also carried out radio silence, relying on high speed to run in a large circle to the high sea. He Long Zhao Heng had earlier promised to lease 199 'Thorn Flower class' double weight armored escort anti-submarine large multi-functional destroyer groups of the same class to the 19th Route Army and on standby for convergence.

In the middle of winter, the temperature on the sea is not only low but also very cold, and if you stay on the deck for a long time, the low temperature will make you numb and unconscious, so it is better to hide in the warm bridge deckhouse. Fortunately, the 'Thorn Flower-class' bridge is very different from most Western ships under current technical conditions, first of all, the temperature of the personnel living area is maintained at a constant temperature of about 25 or 6 degrees from beginning to end under the heating mechanism of the central air-conditioning system equipped with its own central air-conditioning system, and no matter how the outside temperature changes, it still remains the same in all seasons without any changes. In fact, this is nothing, what is more difficult is to rely on the stars and the moon in the night sky to find the direction under the current technical conditions, and the 'Thorn Flower Level' can also easily solve these problems, in fact, the satellite launch tower has already been established on the base of Hainan Island, because the concealment is very ingenious, there is nothing that anyone can find.

Although the 8,700-ton catamaran under its feet drove fast and steady at a speed of 70 knots, there were still a lot of people who were seasick and vomited, and there were quite a few officers of the 19th Route Army. Otherwise, most of them will go and lie down and come back.

Cai Tingkai, who was the commander of the Nineteenth Route Army, glanced at these staggering Nineteenth Route Army and shook his head, and then said to Zhao Heng, who was standing for a long time and had nothing to do: "Virtuous nephew, I don't know if you can sell us some more planes, tanks and armored vehicles, etc., can we still pay the rent according to the current lease method." ”

Zhao Heng thought for a moment and said, "Oh? Uncle Cai wants to rent planes and tanks and armored vehicles, so he can lease them in the same way as renting battleships, and we will send the personnel for maintenance. ”

Zhao Heng is now addicted to selling arms, so he almost didn't rent out strategic deterrence weapons such as atomic bombs, otherwise this parallel time and space world would have been collapsed by this guy, so he lured Cai Tingkai and said: "I don't know if Uncle Cai wants a battleship, hehe, it's the kind of triple armored battleship with a displacement of more than 100,000 tons." ”

Cai Tingkai was almost not scared half to death, this master is really no taboos... Dare to lease more than 100,000 tons of battleships to the 19th Route Army, if you let the chairman of the Nanjing Committee know that the 19th Route Army, which is less than 40,000 people, still has battleships, but only ships with a tonnage of only seven or eight thousand tons and some aircraft, tanks, and combat vehicles can still be tolerated, once they have such a weapon of mass destruction... It is estimated that his first thought was to quickly get rid of the Nineteenth Route Army, which posed the greatest threat to him, and then put all these good things into his bag. Thinking of this, Cai Tingkai had no choice but to smile bitterly: "Virtuous nephew, you are hurting me." ”

Zhao Heng was confused about Cai Tingkai's words, so he asked suspiciously: "Hey, why did Uncle Cai say this, the little nephew really wants to help the 19th Route Army, an army that patriotically defends the country." Why do you say that? ”

Chen Jingtang, who had not opened his mouth for a long time, stared at Zhao Heng with burning eyes, as if he wanted to see through something: "Battleships are the important weapons of the country, no great power will easily take out this thing and sell it, even if it is to be sold, it is just a eliminated goods before World War I, I just don't know if you kid can get it, don't fool us honest people." ”

Zhao Heng opened his mouth full of big white teeth and said to Chen Jingtang with a smile: "Hehe, Uncle Chen, when did I ever say anything." The two uncles can rest assured that there are actually a few battleships and those 199 large destroyers currently staying on the ocean!! ”

Hearing Zhao Heng say such a very shocking thing in person, Cai Tingkai and Chen Jingtang beside him suddenly glanced at each other, and exclaimed in unison, almost out of shape: "What?!" You still have that thing?! ”

Zhao Heng was very satisfied with the expressions of these two, this guy was completely a master who was afraid that the world would not be chaotic. This guy is probably thinking in his heart: Hehe, I don't know if those weak local forces find that they now have a chance to compete with the current Nanjing Beiyang Central Government, I don't know how many people will break their heads to grab this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, and I feel that the picture is too beautiful when I think about it.

Zhang Zhanluan, who was the first to wake up among all the seasickness people of the 19th Route Army, suddenly jumped out at this time and asked: "I don't know if Mr. Zhao can tell us how many battleships with a displacement of more than 100,000 tons there are, as well as some of its relevant details." ”

Zhao Heng raised his eyebrows and said, "Don't be in a hurry, wait until you get to that place, it's important to hurry now." After that, Zhao Heng didn't speak again, and Zhang Zhanluan wanted to say something but was stopped by Cai Tingkai, the commander of his own army next to him, with his eyes, and he had to stuff his stomach full of questions.

An hour and a half later, at 00:41 a.m. on January 28, there were more than 200 steel warships floating on the sea somewhere in the high seas under the bright moonlight in the sky, this group of ships was small and only about 8,000 tons each, and the escort fleet composed of 199 warships of about 8,000 tons each, and several huge warships in the center had already broken through the displacement of 100,000 tons, which was daunting to look at. Not to mention the faint appearance of one or two aircraft carriers with the same displacement of 100,000 tons.

Zhao Fengyan, the beautiful captain who commanded the 'Thorn Flower class' double-weight armored escort anti-submarine large multi-purpose destroyer at her feet, saw that the destination had arrived, and said loudly to a large group of people who were stunned by the huge number of ships in front of them: "The destination has arrived, please prepare to board the ship!" ”

Ten minutes later, the Thorn Flower class immediately approached a three-body giant transport ship with a displacement of more than 100,000 tons, and when all the people of the Nineteenth Route Army boarded this transport ship, what was waiting for them would be a very big surprise.
