Chapter 41: Naval Sortie
Everything in Fuming City is developing in a good way, Sun Hao also gave himself a day off today, idle, accompanied by Wang Yan'er, wandering around Fuming City.
Sun Hao saw that Restoration City was already full of vitality, and many new lives were born, and these children, accompanied by their mothers, were playing in the city, ranging from a few months to several years old. Of course, the children who are a few years old are all children who have been exchanged between the Sun Tribe and the Wuji Continent. A large number of children were born, and the whole city was full of children.
Looking at these children, Sun Hao was also very happy, but Sun Hao thought that he was 23 years old, and Wang Yan'er didn't even help him give birth to an egg for two years. The answer I got when I asked the elf was that it was out of service, and I asked Li Gang to help detect it, and the trader showed that it was out of service. The hospital in Fuming City gave Sun Hao and the two of them the test results, and there were no problems, and the doctor asked Sun Hao and Wang Yan'er to do more child-making exercises in order to increase the chance of pregnancy.
Wang Yan'er is also very guilty, she has been following Sun Hao for two years, and she has not helped Sun Hao give birth to a boy and a girl. Wang Yaner even persuaded Sun Hao to choose two beauties from the dancing girl team, but Sun Hao refused.
Although Sun Hao loves beautiful women, and at the same time hopes that he will have a half-male and a female inheritance, but he is not a breeder, otherwise as long as Sun Hao opens his mouth to order, tens of thousands of women in the army can sleep with him, but this is not what Sun Hao wants.
The two were looking at the future flowers of Fuming City, when a beautiful woman with a height of about 1.80 walked over, saluted Sun Hao and said, "Report to the commander-in-chief, the British navy and army stationed in Fields Town have all been dispatched, and they are heading for the Fuming River." (In foreign countries, it is called Manla River, and Sun Hao still follows the previous name of Fuming City.) )
Sun Hao saw that Wang Fang was in charge of intelligence, speaking of Wang Fang, Sun Hao valued her very much, and found that she was not only beautiful in training, but also very talented in spies, so he promoted her to the position of director of the intelligence department, and asked the training spy instructor to focus on taking care of her.
Hearing that the British had already dispatched, Sun Hao did not feel frightened, with his current strength, even if the British dispatched a million troops, it would be difficult to hit their own territory. First of all, it's a question of whether they will be able to get here.
The river, without the guidance of skilled people, cannot be entered at all. It took me half a month to figure out the route of the waterway with the map, let alone the British Navy, which had never entered.
As for the land, Sun Hao was not worried, and when the troops were training, they began to figure out the surrounding terrain while training. The southeastern part of the island of Papua is much below sea level and is full of swamps, not to mention poisonous insects, pythons and crocodiles.
Even compared to the terrifying Savage Mountain, it is even better. The only way for the British to march by land was through the mountains in the middle of the island. However, the altitude of the mountain range is more than 4,000 meters, and the air is thin, and it is still a question whether those British old soldiers can turn over.
"Director Wang, immediately ask the captain of the ghost submarine formation to come to the War Department to see me." Sun Hao said to Wang Fang.
"Yes!" Wang Fang held his head high and saluted.
However, Sun Hao saw that she didn't leave immediately, so he asked, "Director Wang, what else is the matter?" ”
"Report to the Commander-in-Chief! The last time I said that I wanted the manpower of the western face, as well as the slightly shorter Orientals, you haven't fulfilled it yet, and the height ratio of men and women in our Wuji Continent is very unsuitable for being spies. ”
After Sun Hao heard it, he nodded slightly, he really almost forgot about it, last time Wang Fang mentioned to himself that Westerners with a height of 1.7 to 1.85 meters and Easterners of about 1.6 to 1.8 meters are needed to train spies and intelligence personnel, but the average height of people in Wuji Continent is too tall, and they are not suitable for spies. I have asked Wang Bo to help find it, I don't know if he has found it?
It seems that he has to go out and walk, intelligence is an extremely large system, and it needs all kinds of talents, and relying solely on the personnel of the Wuji Continent is far from enough.
"Director Wang, please rest assured, I haven't forgotten your manpower, and it will arrive soon."
Wang Fang didn't dare to believe Sun Hao's words, and after hearing it, he saluted and left.
Wang Yan'er held Sun Hao's arm, and when she saw that Wang Fang had left, she said with a smile: "Husband, in fact, you should take the guard battalion with you when you go out, whether it is to spread the word or do other things, it is much more convenient." It's a bit inappropriate for you to ask the head of the intelligence department to help you call the captain of the ghost formation. ”
"Okay, I'll take it with me next time I go out." Sun Hao didn't worry about his life safety at all in Fuming City, after a long time, he felt that it was very inconvenient to go out with the guard battalion, and now after hearing Wang Yan'er's words, he felt that it made sense.
The two came to the combat command room, and Sun Hao saw that in addition to Zhong Yanping, the captain of the ghost submarine formation, Wang Hongliang, the commander of the First Fleet, was also there. In addition to the two generals in the war room, there are hundreds of confidential personnel who are busy.
Seeing Sun Hao walk into the war room, Wang Hongliang and Zhong Yanping hurriedly stood up and saluted.
Zhong Yanping is a vigorous and resolute female man, about 1.90 meters tall, 20 years old, she is not only very beautiful, but also meticulous and resolute, she seems to have an amazing talent for submarine command, through layers of selection, and then became the captain of the ghost formation.
Wang Hongliang is 25 years old, with a strong appearance, extremely burly, about 2.1 meters tall, and a long face, which is a bit similar to Guan Yu's appearance during the Three Kingdoms period.
"Commander Wang, why are you here too?" Sun Hao sat on the main seat, asked with a smile, and then took out a cigarette and came out. Wang Yan'er stood aside, saw Sun Hao take out a cigarette, and quickly took out a lighter to help him light it.
"Report to Commander-in-Chief Sun, since the British navy wants to enter our territory, I want to send a fleet to assist Captain Zhong, and strive to keep the British army and navy on the Fuming River." Wang Hongliang actually had itchy hands for a long time, the First Fleet had been training every day, and it had been almost two years, and he had never fought the enemy until now, and he had long wanted to go out to meet the enemy and fight a real battle.
Hearing that the British Navy was coming, Wang Hongliang's heart was about to move. However, he heard that Sun Hao only let the ghost submarine formation attack, so he wanted to try his luck, so he said that he assisted Captain Zhong Yanping.
After Sun Hao heard it, he almost laughed, this Wang Hongliang is not very old, and he is quite good at speaking. If you want to fight, just say it, why do you say it so tactfully? also assisted Zhong Yanping.
The strength of the First Fleet is so strong, even in the face of the powerful navies of other countries, it may not be without the strength to fight. In general, in surface warfare, only submarines assist the fleet, and I have never heard of a huge fleet assisting the submarine force.
"Commander Wang, the Fuming River is not the sea, can your fleet be deployed on the waterway?"
"This, this!" Wang Hongliang knew that with the scale of the First Fleet, it would be difficult to deploy it on the river.
Zhong Yanping saw Wang Hongliang's embarrassment, and couldn't help but cover her mouth and laugh. I didn't expect that the task of the Huaxia Navy's first foreign war fell on my head, and I must teach those British Navy who don't know the importance of a memorable lesson.
"Captain Zhong, with our current strength, it is not enough to provoke a full-scale war with Britain, Britain is the hegemon of the sea, and we cannot challenge this hegemon at present, lest the spearhead of the whole world be directed at us. This sortie, without being exposed, could sink several of their ships, but not allow them to lose too much. ”
Sun Hao knew that now was not the time to make enemies with Britain, in case he provoked this overlord and mobilized the navy of the whole country to fight with him, Sun Hao didn't want to see such a situation. He could have sold the design drawings of the Elizabeth-class battleships and battle cruisers to the Germans, and let the Germans during the First World War fight them. With such a good thug as Germany, why should he go out of his way to fight to the death with Britain?
After Zhong Yanping heard this, she immediately nodded, because Zhong Yanping knew that the British Empire was now the overlord of the sea, and with the strength of the Huaxia Army, it was obviously very unwise to fight with the British at present.
"Commander Wang, you can send a fleet to assist Captain Zhong, but it must be after Captain Zhong sinks the British ships, just go and threaten, and fire cannons to scare them at the right time. Then send them out, and then go around Australia, and preferably go around Nanyang Singapore. ”
"Yes!" When Wang Hongliang heard that he could go into battle, he stood up excitedly and saluted and said, "The boring training every day almost suffocated all the officers and men of the First Fleet. Even if it wasn't really going to fight, it made Wang Hongliang very excited.
Sun Hao also wanted the First Fleet to go out and around, so that the British Empire could see their strength, so that they would be taboo about their strength. Britain is not a fool, is it worth it to fight against such a powerful mysterious force? Sun Hao believes that the British will definitely make a wise choice. Without understanding the power of the other side, the British will definitely be patient, otherwise the British navy will not grow stronger.
There were no minerals or specialties in the southeast of the Papua island, and Britain had no profit from this colony, otherwise it would not have been handed over to the subject country Australia during World War I. Sun Hao knew this, so he didn't worry about the British fighting with him at all.
The islands of Papua were now divided into three parts, with Germany occupying the northeast, Britain occupying the southeast, and the Dutch occupying the northwestern half of the island alone. The Northwest Peninsula was developed by the Dutch, and was rich in iron ore, spices, sugar cane, coconut oil, and rubber, far richer than the British and German territories.
The Dutch colonized the Northwest Peninsula for many years, and established several small towns in the Northwest Peninsula, among which the town of Cannes has reached the size of a city with a population of more than 200,000, which shows that the Northwest Peninsula is far richer than the Anglo-German occupation here.
